Debating Amendment 66 (3 letters)
I am an independent voter opposed to high taxes, but as a National Board Certified Teacher in Colorado, I support Amendment 66. A well-funded public education system is as important to producing a climate conducive for economic growth and high living standards as a competitive tax policy is for attracting business to our state.
Amendment 66 is designed to fund the landmark bipartisan legislation passed in 2010 that revamped teacher evaluation systems, making student learning outcomes 50 percent of a teacher's evaluation. Amendment 66 will restore the $1 billion in cuts made to public education during the Great Recession, and fund the bipartisan legislative mandates passed in the interim. Funding will also reduce swollen class sizes, restore arts, music, special education programs and more.
Passing Amendment 66 will provide greater opportunity and resources for all students in Colorado, keeping Colorado a competitive home for businesses, innovation and a thriving middle class.

Re: "Bloomberg, Gates each put $1 million behind pro-Amendment 66 campaign," Oct. 29 news story.
Should those who do not live or pay taxes in Colorado be allowed to invest millions in convincing Coloradans to increase their taxes? It doesn't seem right. And particularly when there is no evidence that more money for schools will make a bit of difference in student outcomes. Michael Bloomberg and Bill Gates, do us a favor and keep your money out of Colorado. Yes, we know, when you make lots of money, you're clearly smarter than the rest of us. But we have too many of our own arrogant millionaires and billionaires. We don't need any more. Vote "no" on 66.

I appreciate your article disclosing the significant financial contribution ($1.05 million) of New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg in support of Amendment 66. His apparent continuing belief he can make a difference in the political affairs of Colorado is fascinating. It is interesting to note his generous financial support of state senators from Colorado Springs and Pueblo during the recent recall elections did not seem to detract from the will of the voters.
I wonder how Bloomberg's new intrusion into Colorado politics will affect negatively the outcome of Amendment 66.

Bad news for anyone who loves subscription fees: you won't need a PlayStation Plus account to play The Elder Scrolls Online on PS4, Bethesda says.
You need Sony's premium service to play most PS4 games online, but Bethesda's upcoming MMORPG (out in April for PC/Mac and June for PS4/Xbox One) will be an exception, because it's got a subscription fee of its own. Posting on the PlayStation Blog this morning, The Elder Scrolls Online director Matt Firor dropped the news.
"A PlayStation Plus membership is not required to play The Elder Scrolls Online," Firor writes. "PS4 players will only be required to pay the same monthly subscription associated with The Elder Scrolls Online that PC and Mac users will pay — nothing more."
Also, PS4 players will be on a different server than PC/Mac players. No word on Xbox One/Xbox Live just yet.

Millau bridge, France.
The Millau Viaduct (French: le Viaduc de Millau, Occitan: lo Viaducte de Milhau) is a cable-stayed road-bridge that spans the valley of the river Tarn near Millau in southern France. Designed by the French structural engineer Michel Virlogeux and British architect Norman Foster, it is the tallest bridge in the world, with one mast's summit at 343.0 metres (1,125 ft). The viaduct is part of the A75-A71 autoroute axis from Paris to Montpellier. Construction cost was approximately €400 million. It was formally dedicated on 14 December 2004, inaugurated the day after and opened to traffic two days later. The bridge received the 2006 IABSE Outstanding Structure Award.
The bridge's construction broke three world records:
The highest pylons in the world: pylons P2 and P3, 244.96 metres (803 ft 8 in) and 221.05 metres (725 ft 3 in) in height respectively, broke the French record previously held by the Tulle and Verrières Viaducts (141 m/463 ft), and the world record previously held by the Kochertal Viaduct (Germany), which is 181 metres (594 ft) at its highest;

Perhaps demonstrating just how closely related primates are to humans, a new study finds that female chimpanzees are much more aggressive and "negative" when communicating with other lady chimps, and then switch it up and get all nice and apologetic and submissive when communicating with males.
The study, conducted by doctoral student Nicole Scott from the University of Minnesota, analyzed the "different gesturing strategies" of chimps and found gender differences in their communication styles. While the female chimps use different gestures depending on whether they're communication with males or females, male chimps behave the same with everyone, regardless of sex. As Scott pointed out, "there is a belief in the field that males are more aggressive than females." But her work indicates that females are aggressive, too.

HOROSCOPES: Dec. 3
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- With the tremendous optimism you espouse, you should have little trouble awakening enthusiasm in others. Whatever it is you're doing, they'll want to be part of it.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Although you may not think you require any assistance from others, they might end up helping you get what you want. Upon reflection, you'll realize how badly you needed help.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Most any group could benefit from your presence. You'll be a great catalyst, knowing exactly what needs doing and how to effectively go about doing it.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- A special target that you've been striving for could turn out to be much bigger than you initially thought. Once achieved, it will have many far-reaching effects.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- A friend who has been quite fortunate for you once before might be so for you again. Stick close to him or her, because this person is likely to be quite helpful.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- This could be one of those wonderful days when everything you touch generates additional income. Pay special attention to a side endeavor and/or second project.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Lady Luck is likely to be involved in many of your endeavors, but she will probably shine most on a partnership arrangement.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Focus your efforts on making as much money as you can. If you do, it's likely that you will find a way to increase your earnings through a one-time source.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Working in close tandem with others will prove to be quite lucky for you. However, the results will be even more impressive if you call the shots instead of letting another do so.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- This can be an especially rewarding day, mostly because you'll be able to successfully weld your inner desires to your external capabilities. Something great will come of it.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Something extraordinary could occur, which would put you in an extremely happy frame of mind. Whatever it is, it will be the type of event that will be worth celebrating.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Instead of diminishing or modifying your hopes and expectations, try to elevate them to new heights. You are far luckier than you may realize, so think and act big.

EastBridge Investment Corp (OTC-BB: EBIG), a financial services company that helps companies list on U.S. exchanges, client Long Whole Enterprises, which is similar to companies like Geovic Mining Corp (OTC-BB: GVCM) and Alumina Limited (NYSE: AWC), could see significant profits in Congo.
To syndicate this article, or for more information, please contact us online or call (406) 862-5400.
With mining disputes and conflicts commonplace in Congo, it may seem a wonder to many investors that any companies operate in the country. That is, until investors hear that the small country is estimated to have some $24 trillion in untapped deposits of raw mineral ores, including the worldai??i??s largest deposits of cobalt and significant quantities of diamonds, gold and copper.
Most of this mining is accomplished via small operations known as ai???Artisanal and Small-Scale Miningai??? (ASM), which remains unregulated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC.) However, an increasing amount of money is now being invested abroad to extract and refine some of the ores found in the country. And some of this work is being done by companies that growth investors should watch closelyai??i??
Long Whole Enterprises Targets Huge Gold Reserves
EastBridge Investment Corp (OTC-BB: EBIG), a financial services company that provides companies with access to U.S. capital markets in exchange for a 10-20% equity stake, counts Long Whole Enterprises as one of its clients. Currently, this undiscovered company is working diligently to complete its survey of a potentially enormous gold mine in the DRC.
With soil samples on the way to the lab right now, according to EastBridge management, and a potential IPO on U.S. exchanges within the next nine months, growth investors seeking to capitalize on this opportunity may want to pick up some shares of EBIG in anticipation of a potential IPO to unlock value.
Larger Companies Face Hurdles, Smaller Companies Profit
While the Congolese government works to eliminate rebel factions in the eastern provinces, some companies are continuing to face difficulty within the country. For example, the government recently decided to liquidate First Quantum Minerals Kolwezi copper project, while U.S. copper miner Freeport-McMoRan is still waiting to make the largest international investment in Congo after years of talks.
Ultimately, this has posed a problem for larger companies looking to take a big slice of the Congolese pie, but smaller companies capable of rolling under-the-radar can often profit substantially. Meanwhile, government efforts to eliminate corruption and improve the business environment in the country could ultimately create M&A opportunities for those smaller players already established.
With $24 trillion in natural resources within its borders, Congo represents an enormous untapped opportunity for investors. While conflicts and corruption have kept larger companies at bay, smaller companies operating under-the-radar may be able to realize significant profits. As a result, growth investors may want to take a look at EastBridge Investment Corp (OTC-BB: EBIG) as a diversified way to gain exposure to this lucrative market.

Seems like you can't get through the holidays without some miscreant doing something rotten.
Seems like you can't get through the holidays without some miscreant doing something rotten.
This year's first high-profile entry into the race for seasonal scoundrel: Whoever vandalized the corral and swiped 60 Christmas trees from the Boy Scouts in the Town of Ulster.
What gets into some people? Is it, as one of my colleagues is fond of asking, a case of stupid or evil?
If you've got a beef with Scouting, don't join. Exercise your freedom of speech and write a letter to the editor. One may personally disagree with some of the Boy Scouts of America's policies and politics, but it's a private organization with the right to set its own membership rules and guidelines. The Supreme Court settled that argument in 2000.
Of course, I seriously doubt the tree theft is a political statement. We're probably looking at garden-variety venality.
In the face of such a despicable act, people have rallied to support the Boy Scouts' Rip Van Winkle Council. The Scouts from the council were selling the trees to raise money for their Camp Tri-Mount in Greene County.
Those stolen trees? Already replaced by local donors, who've also ponied up monetary gifts to support the kids.
Funny how that happens. In the face of an act that offends our moral sensibilities, good people will reach out to ameliorate the hurt and to replace what was stolen.
The same thing happened back in 2008, when some cold-blooded fool swiped a small pine that had been used as a Christmas tree outside St. Joseph's School in Middletown. A parishioner at St. Joseph's Church had donated the tree in memory of her late husband. But that sort of thing doesn't matter to the kind of creep who'd swipe a conifer from church property. Within a couple of days, the church and school had gotten several offers from people eager to donate a new tree.
Thieves have kidnapped statues of the Baby Jesus from church Nativities; they've pilfered the Virgin Mary from front-yard grottoes.
Of course, malice is equal opportunity. There's no shortage of spray-painted swastikas and slurs around the Jewish High Holy Days in autumn. These dimwits come in all sizes, shapes and denominations.
The Boy Scout theft is so aggravating, I think, because the punks who stole Christmas trees targeted a bunch of kids. And they had to know they were stealing from kids, because there's a big "Boy Scout Christmas Trees" banner tacked up on the enclosure.
The Scouts and their council's executive director, Ray Braun, are approaching this whole mess with admirable equanimity and a positive attitude.
Braun told one of my colleagues that he's "sad for whoever was desperate enough to do it."
He's got more faith in people than I do. I'm just glad the community has rewarded his faith.

One of my new goals is to start seeing movies in the theater again. My specific plan is to treat myself to a film every Friday night at the Spectrum, the local, independent art house theater, which is conveniently located next to the New World Bistro Bar, my favorite restaurant in town, where I'll treat myself to a glass of wine after the show. I started my new tradition last Friday, and I had so much fun. I'll post my movie reviews here on Monday mornings.
The movie: Coco Before Chanel is aptly titled; it follows Coco Chanel from her time in an orphanage, but it stops where most people become familiar with her story. The film stars the delightful Audrey Tatou as Coco. Perhaps my favorite thing about Coco Before Chanel was it's honesty. I confess to loving the feel-good rags to riches biopics as much as anyone, but it's rare to see a biographical film provide hope with honesty and without sappiness. Most of the film is not feel good. It's hardly depressing, but it is real. Coco didn't have an easy life. She and her sister were orphans, and they fought for opportunities. Coco makes some decisions she may not be proud of, but she doesn't regret them. She doesn't have the dream of becoming a fashion designer from day one, just as few of us truly know what we'll end up doing from the beginning. Her skills, experience and desire for self-sufficiency slowly evolve to lead her to it.
The film is a little slow, but it's similar to the pace of her life. It seems like it's not going anywhere for awhile, and if you didn't know what Chanel is, you might think that. I personally thought the subtitles were a little fast. My French is decent enough to understand some of the dialogue, but I often read the subtitle before the characters had begun to speak their lines. The beautiful lulls of dialogue featured the next subtitle, which threw off the pace a bit for me.
The beauty of the film comes in its last half hour, when it becomes clear the slowness was in fact subtlety leading to a mesmerizing and poetic final half-hour. It's the kind of film one might be tempted to stop watching if she were at home, but ends up loving. It truly is a film that is the sum of it's parts. It works as a whole, but it's not necessarily riveting from the opening frame.
It's a beautifully feminist film; it's an honest look at one woman's struggle and journey for her place in the world. It's not a film with universal appeal, but it is a fantastic, beautiful, and inspiring film. If you like foreign films, historical films, biopics and strong female leads, then I highly recommend this film.
Rating: 4.5 stars (out of 5)
Running time: 1 hour, 50 minutes
Release date: September 2009 in the U.S. Here's a map of where this film is currently playing! There's no word on dvd release yet.

Todd C. was at Pat O'Brien's on Bourbon Street and shot some video at game's end that represents the only touching moment in the bar's history that did not involve Rohypnol. He writes in an e-mail:
Hard to make out much, but Rachel Nichols is above us on the balcony doing a live feed segment for ESPN (you can see the bright camera lights after the camera pans past the flaming water fountain).
p.s. Those aren't tears at the end; they're something more manly that I can't think of right now.

Aisling Means 'Vision' in This Case Its a Nightmare
Fund: Aisling Capital
Posted by Anonymous on 2012-07-19
I've successfully pitched and then worked with this fund in a portfolio company. They aren't good. Bad behavior at the Board level and usual VC tricks of changing terms at last moment are their bread and butter. Dennis Purcell is OK on a one to one level. Dov Goldstein has a very bad reputation in the NYC, NJ and PA areas. He's immature and brings no business nor management value to portfolio companies - Unless you're really desperate - go elsewhere.PRIVATE: Members Only (226 Characters)

"La Stanza dello Scirocco" is a range of items suitable for different rooms, such as the kitchen and the living room born out of the abstract and motionless atmosphere of a magic place: the room in large Sicilian country homes where one is forced to seek shelter from the sultriness while waiting for the scirocco to die down. It is a room without windows in which you can do nothing but ponder the wind that is undoing all sublunary things outside. The upshot is a collection of geometrically irregular items made up of small splinters of various sizes, interlaced in an unstable balance.
Mario Trimarchi, born in Sicily, has lived and worked in Milan since 1983. An architect of the "freehand" generation, he has always moved freely within the visual universe and considers drawing, photography, design and image as equal components with the same theoretical approach. Between 1994 and 1998 Trimarchi was Director of Advanced Design at the Domus Academy and from 1989 to 2000 was part of the Olivetti Design Studio, where he worked with Michele De Lucchi. In 1999 he founded his own Corporate Identity Care studio, FRAGILE. With FRAGILE he designs systems of identity, coordinated image and visual alphabets through which diverse individualities can be expressed. He has designed many trademarks, most notably for Poste Italiane, the graphics for numerous large exhibitions, communications systems for Italian design companies and, finally, many displays and interiors. Never relinquishing his passion for drawing, architecture or design, he is currently working on the theme of unstable geometries, which he utilises within the context of our relationships with everyday objects in an attempt to change, however slightly, our habitual patterns of living.

Taipei (tībā´), city (1995 est. pop. 2,632,863), N Taiwan, capital of Taiwan and provisional capital of the Republic of China. Taiwan's largest city, it is the administrative, cultural, and industrial center of the island. The major industries produce electrical and electronic equipment, textiles, metals, machinery, chemicals, food products, ships, and motorcycles. The city has a subway/elevated light-rail system, and is connected by high-speed rail to Kaohsiung. Several universities, the National Palace Museum and other cultural institutions, and Taipei 101, formerly the world's tallest building, are there.
Founded in the 18th cent. by immigrants from Fujian prov. on the China mainland, Taipei began its modern development only after 1885, when it replaced Tainan as the capital of Taiwan prov. It continued to serve as a political center and underwent considerable enlargement and modernization under Japanese rule (1895–1945). In 1949, when the Communists forced the government of Chiang Kai-shek to flee from the mainland of China, Taipei became the headquarters of the Nationalists. In 1967 the city became a special municipality with a status equal to that of a province. Taipei suffered minor damage in the 1999 Taiwan earthquake.

Chromium: What's In It For You
Chromium helps control blood sugar, curbs carb cravings and fights body fat
Chromium is an essential trace mineral that has received much attention as a dietary supplement because good dietary sources of chromium are scarce and intake is generally low. There is debate, however, regarding optimal amounts and exactly how chromium works in the body. In recent years, some very elegant work has revealed that chromium augments the actions of insulin, which is consistent with studies showing that long-term use effectively controls blood sugar (glucose) levels in people with intolerance to carbohydrates. Better control of blood sugar levels has several favorable effects.
When you eat carbohydrate, it is broken down to sugar and absorbed into the blood. The magnitude of the rise in blood sugar, and subsequent rise in insulin, varies widely from food to food. Slowing the release of sugar into the blood is the first step to controlling blood sugar and one of the most important goals of any healthy diet.
According to research, keeping blood sugar in check does everything from enhancing weight and fat loss and decreasing appetite to warding off several chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes, etc. In contrast, foods that are rapidly digested and quickly released into the blood promote overeating, obesity, insulin resistance, and other metabolic disturbances contributing to disease.
Chromium helps control blood sugar
Chromium supplementation is a simple method to improve blood sugar control in some people. Several studies have evaluated the effect of chromium on glucose levels with varied results, but a significant number of these studies have shown that chromium can normalize blood sugar levels, improve blood sugar utilization and decrease insulin requirements in patients with glucose intolerance and insulin resistance. In one study, blood sugar responses to a carbohydrate meal of white bread were measured with and without a single dose (400 micrograms) of chromium. The addition of chromium resulted in a 23% reduction in blood sugar after the meal. Thus, taking chromium with carbohydrate-rich foods may be an effective way to lower the glycemic index of that meal.
Chromium and cholesterol levels
Chromium also plays a role in fat metabolism. Several studies have investigated chromium's effects on lipid profiles. A number of those studies reported reductions in triglycerides, as much as 32%, and reductions in total and LDL cholesterol. These positive effects were noted when studying the risk for heart disease in healthy people and those with diabetes or glucose intolerance.
Chromium diminishes carb cravings
If you are like a lot of people, you might have a compelling and recurring hunger for carbohydrate-rich foods. Cravings for starchy and sugar-laden foods are common and are a type of addiction that involves similar mechanisms engaged by opiates and the pain/pleasure center of the brain.
In one study, it was shown that simply taking 600 micrograms of chromium picolinate for 8 weeks significantly reduced carbohydrate cravings. The subjects who had the most severe carbohydrate cravings experienced the best results. When blood sugar is low, the drive to seek out sugars and starches is amplified, and there is a tendency to overconsume calories. Although not addressed in this study, chromium supplementation may have helped to stabilize blood sugar levels and diminish the desire for carbohydrate-laden foods.
Chromium fights body fat
There have been fewer studies focused on chromium supplementation by athletes, but some double-blind, placebo-controlled experiments have shown that chromium picolinate supplementation reduces fat mass, increases lean body mass and can lead to weight loss. In one study, chromium picolinate was able to increase lean body mass in obese patients placed on a very low calorie diet.
Chromium combats insulin resistance
The exact role of chromium has eluded researchers, but recent evidence indicates that chromium plays an important role in insulin signaling. Poor insulin signaling, or insulin resistance, is a prevalent condition that contributes to obesity and several other metabolic problems that predispose people to diabetes and heart disease. Therefore, anything that combats insulin resistance (like exercise) is generally viewed as health-promoting.
One study examined the effects of chromium in rats that were obese and insulin resistant. The results clearly showed that rats given additional chromium in their drinking water significantly improved glucose disposal rates and insulin-stimulated signaling in skeletal muscle. In other words, extra chromium improved the insulin resistance normally present in these animals.
These findings are consistent with several studies showing improved glucose control in people with glucose intolerance and insulin resistance. Since glycogen synthesis and protein synthesis are regulated by insulin signaling, adding chromium could stimulate these processes in individuals who are insulin resistant.
My lab investigated the potential of chromium picolinate to improve glycogen synthesis after intense exercise in healthy men. Although chromium led to very high rates of glycogen synthesis during the recovery phase after exercise, the values were not significantly different than the placebo group. However, we did find that chromium engaged a different cellular pathway in muscle that bypassed one of the steps often deficient in people with glucose intolerance and diabetes.
How much chromium to take
Chromium supplementation is safe with no reported significant side effects. Effective doses seem to be in the range of 200 to 600 micrograms (0.2 to 0.6 mg). It is typically sold in 200 microgram capsules or tablets.
There are several types of chromium supplements available, such as chromium chloride, chromium polynicotinate and chromium picolinate. Chromium picolinate is remarkably stable and remains intact for several hours in synthetic gastric juice. The comparative data results of chromium picolinate versus other forms of chromium demonstrated that it is the most effective form to facilitate glucose control. It was also observed that chromium picolinate is better absorbed physiologically (2.5%) than chromium chloride (0.5-1%) and chromium acetate (0.8%); chromium oxide is not absorbed at all (0.001%).
You'll find chromium in most good multi-vitamin formulas like Lindberg Varsity Pack 2 or Pink Pack, which have 120 mcg in each packet. If you want more of the blood sugar and dieting benefits of chromium, you should add another 100-200 micrograms twice a day to your diet. You can find this extra chromium in many diet formulas available.

TORONTO — Tuesday night was really a desperate night for the Blue Jays. They needed to win against the Red Sox.
Team morale was low. The Jays, the team the majority of prognosticators chose to win the American League East, the pennant, and the World Series, had gotten off to a nightmare start. The words "bust" and "pathetic" had started to make their way into the vocabularies of those pointing fingers.
One Jays player said before the game, "We have to start winning right now. Against this team, against this pitcher [Jon Lester]."
And sure enough, despite the many missions the Blue Jays attempted and failed in April, this one succeeded in a 9-7 win over the Sox.
Nobody, including manager John Gibbons, has an idea what to make of Toronto's poor start. The team that was supposed to win it all has been awful, and the team that had a host of questions (Boston), has had most of them answered in the first month, going 18-8.
Sox manager John Farrell really has had the last laugh on the team Toronto fans believe he deserted. That didn't sit well with Torontonians, who gave Farrell a big "ha, ha" after general manager Alex Anthopoulos traded half of his farm system in separate deals for Jose Reyes, Mark Buehrle, Josh Johnson, and Emilio Bonafacio with the Marlins and for National League Cy Young Award winner R.A. Dickey with the Mets.
Farrell was booed ferociously by Jays fans the first time the teams played here in early April, feeling Farrell was a traitor for leaving the Jays with one year remaining on his contract in a deal with the Red Sox for Mike Aviles.
Gibbons could almost cry about his team's 10-17 start, but he found a moment of humor before Tuesday night's game when he said, "Tell Farrell if he brings out the lineup card and I bring out the lineup card, the boos aren't directed at him."
"It's only one month," is the Toronto mantra. There's plenty of time for the Jays to rebound and plenty of time for the Sox to collapse.
"That team, they have good players," said David Ortiz following the loss in which he drove in four runs with a three-run double and solo homer. "They get some of those hitters like [Edwin] Encarnacion and [Jose] Bautista, and [J.P.] Arencibia on the same page, they're going to be tough."
Encarnacion did his part, with a pair of two-run homers, including the key shot off Junichi Tazawa in the seventh inning.
But the talent-laden Jays haven't held a candle to the chemistry-driven Red Sox. And with Reyes out of the lineup and Dickey and Johnson battling injuries, it's been a struggle.
The biggest problem, according to Gibbons, has been the defense. The Jays have made 17 errors, and it's put a lot of pressure on the pitching staff, increasing pitch counts and extending innings.
Tuesday night was living proof. Gibbons brought in shortstop Munenori Kawasaki in for defense and what'd he do? On what should have been Daniel Nava's inning-ending double-play grounder in the seventh, Kawasaki threw errantly to second base. Everyone was safe. Ortiz then smacked his three-run double to give Boston a 7-6 lead.
Then again, third baseman Brett Lawrie did make an incredible play on a hot shot by Will Middlebrooks to start a double play and save runs in the fourth inning.
So this win was huge for Jays morale. Huge that they beat the red-hot Red Sox and Farrell.
As one Blue Jays player asked sarcastically, "Is the season over already? People assume because we haven't got going yet that we're never gonna get going and that's just [expletive]. Listen, we have to play better and start believing we can play better. We need to go on a roll, there's no doubt about that, but for people to declare this over already is just ridiculous."
What else can people say?
Farrell was a prophet before the game when he said, "We're going to have three tough games here and we know that. They have players in their lineup who can turn things around very quickly with one swing of the bat. I managed those players so I know what they're capable of. We aren't taking anyone lightly. We have to keep doing the things that have put us in this position."
Catch the ball, pitch the ball, and hit the ball.
The Red Sox have done it as well as any team. The Blue Jays have misfired as much as any team.
Farrell has been able to do in Boston what he couldn't do in Toronto — straighten out problem pitchers. Ricky Romero, once the ace of the Blue Jays staff, is now in the minors. Farrell and his staff were not able to turn him around, but in Boston the hope was he could do so with Jon Lester (who hasn't pitched well in his last two starts) and Clay Buchholz, and he has.
That success has enabled the Red Sox staff to fall into place and create a confident feeling throughout the rest of the team.
When Farrell walked around before the game, it was much different with the Jays crowd. There wasn't nearly as much vitriol.
Farrell has handled the Toronto situation well from the start of the offseason. He met the situation head on, realizing he would receive backlash for his escape.
Farrell and the Red Sox have handled the situation exactly right. Downplay their success and let their record do the talking. Show respect for the opposition, but then clobber them. That's what the Sox did the first time in, taking two by scores of 6-4 and 13-0 and losing, 5-0, when J.A. Happ mesmerized them. In the first game of this series, they endured the Blue Jays' wrath.
The sluggers — Bautista, Encarnacion, and Arencibia — have hit 24 homers between them. Conspicuous by his lack of power has been Melky Cabrera (no homers, 6 RBIs), who last season served a 50-game suspension while with the San Francisco Giants for elevated testosterone.
The Jays' pitchers have been erratic and haven't lived up to expectations.
After one month, Farrell has gotten the last laugh. But the Blue Jays will give Boston April if they can take May and June and maybe September.
"It's very big for us," Encarnacion said of the win. "The way we've been playing the last month, it was very important.
"It's been a couple of games where we've been playing great. So having a win on the opening of the homestand is very important for us. Keep the head up, keep working, keep going."
Gibbons stood at the podium Tuesday night before his postgame news conference and the first thing he said was "Phew!" He knew he easily could have been up there lamenting another Blue Jays loss, but instead he knew this could be a turnaround game.
"The guys showed a lot of guts today, a lot of heart," Gibbons said. "We gave up that lead there, the way things have been going . . . but they hung tough. Just a big win, something we needed."

Garden Planner DIY
If you live somewhere cold, you're probably thinking that I'm kind of early for Spring crafting, but it's been about 75 degrees all week so I just can't help myself. Besides, tomorrow is Groundhog day so spring isn't too far away! (hopefully!)
For today's project I made a fun garden planner mini, that has pockets to tuck seed packets into, or other notes about how you want to plan out your garden!
I was going for a "whimsical spring" look with my doodles, and I think I got it. ;)
Supplies: Paper, Sewing Machine, Pen/Marker, Watercolor Pencils or Paint, Embellishments
1. Cut your paper into 8"x7" pieces. I used 8 papers, but glued back to back, so 4 pages.
You also need to cut 4-8 pieces of paper that are 5"x8", these are the pockets.
2. Design your pockets, with garden planning ideas, lists of veggies, etc. I used a black marker and water color pencils to doodle on mine.
3. Cut 2" half circles from the top of each of your pockets.
4. Place one of your pockets on top of one of your pages and sew down the sides and bottom.
I used a straight stitch on the sides and a zigzag stitch along the bottom, just for different textures.
Repeat with the rest of your pages and pockets.
5. Punch a hole in the top left corner of each page.
6. Bind them together by stringing a piece of yarn through the holes and knotting it. I also added a little chipboard flower.
Here are my pages, I love the pretty spring colors and the pockets are great for storing seeds and notes!
Do you garden? I grew up out in the country on 4 acres, so we had 2 big garden plots and I loved getting in the dirt and just going out to the garden and eating veggies right from the plant. ;)
I no longer live way out in the middle of nowhere, but we still have a garden. (My Dad and I are going to be building our Spring garden this week!) I'll be planting the seed tape I made back at Christmas (for gifts!), If you want to learn how to make your own seed tape check out my DIY.

Houston, Texas
Influenza, commonly referred to as the "flu," is an acute, contagious respiratory infection. The first of the human respiratory viruses to be isolated and characterized, influenza viruses have been studied the most extensively and are the best understood. The term itself, "influenza," may have come from the Latin word influo, meaning "to flow in," perhaps indicating its airborne transmission, or it may be of Italian origin, relating to an "influence," such as the weather, or mystical astrologic causes.
Influenza is caused by strains of the orthomyxoviruses. The influenza viruses are comprised of three major types-A, B, and C-and multiple subtypes. Influenza A and B are the two types of influenza viruses that most often cause disease in humans. Influenza A and B viruses have been studied more extensively than influenza C viruses.
Influenza is most prevalent in the winter and the spring. It occurs following close contact with a person who has the illness. Spread by discharges from the mouth and nose of an infected person, the virus is then inhaled and multiplies in the newly infected person. Influenza may occur on a sporadic basis, or it may occur as epidemic influenza (i.e., involving a large, regional population) or as pandemic influenza (i.e., involving a worldwide population).
All persons may contract influenza; however, younger children (under 2 years), pregnant women, American Indians, Alaskan Natives and older adults (over 65 years) are the most susceptible to its effects. Persons at high risk for the complications associated with influenza include those with preexisting medical conditions, such as:
In young children, the most common findings of type A influenza include its sudden onset and its associated symptoms of high fever, headache, lack of appetite, fatigue, chills, and muscle aches. Common respiratory findings include a cough, a runny nose, and a sore throat. Other symptoms may include abdominal pain, swollen lymph nodes in the neck area, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
In older children and adolescents with type A influenza, the onset of the illness is abrupt, and is associated with high fever, flushed face, chills, headache, muscle aches, and fatigue.
In type B influenza, children often will have typical "flu-like" symptoms with fever; however, adults frequently will have only respiratory tract symptoms without significant fever.
Influenza C viruses cause illnesses similar to type A influenza; however, the severity of the disease is usually less, and the duration of it is shorter.
Infection with the influenza virus is diagnosed more accurately from groups of patients exhibiting the classic symptoms of influenza, rather than an individual patient. Epidemics occur each winter, and usually begin with a sudden increase in its appearance in the primary care facilities of school-age children with febrile (associated with fever) respiratory tract illnesses.
A diagnostic test called a "Rapid Flu Test" is now available in most physician's offices. Unfortunately, the reliability of these tests is variable and a person with a negative test may still have the flu. Your health care provider will often make the diagnosis of flu based on your symptoms and physical exam. In certain circumstances, your provider may decide to send a nasal swab to a specialized laboratory for a more definitive diagnosis.
For types A and B influenza viruses, the illness usually resolves itself after several days; however, fatigue and persistent coughing can last for two or more weeks. Bed rest, adequate hydration with oral fluids, control of fever and muscle aches with acetaminophen, and maintenance of comfortable breathing with nasal decongestants and humidifiers are the best courses of treatment in uncomplicated cases of influenza. A persistent cough may be treated with cough suppressants.
Preventative administration of antibiotics should be discouraged. For complicated cases of influenza, a physician should evaluate the patient, and may recommend antibiotic treatment for possible secondary bacterial infections. The neuraminidase inhibitor oseltamivir (Tamiflu) is FDA-approved for the treatment of uncomplicated acute influenza in patients 1 year and older who have been symptomatic for no more than 2 days. The neuraminidase inhibitor zanamivir formulated for oral inhalation (Relenza) is FDA-approved for the treatment of influenza in patients 7 years of age and older who, similar to approved uses for oseltamivir, have uncomplicated illness and have been symptomatic for no more than 2 days. These treatments have limited benefit and are recommended only for those HIGH RISK patients (see list above) or patients with severe symptoms.
A patient's recovery from a case of uncomplicated influenza generally is considered to be excellent.
Complications that may occur as a result of influenza include bacterial infections of the respiratory tract (particularly pneumonia), acute otitis media (ear infections), and sinusitis. Acute myositis, (i.e., severe pain and tenderness in the calves of both legs that occurs suddenly, often with a refusal to walk) may also occur.
Reye's syndrome may occur as a result of influenza, most commonly when aspirin or aspirin-containing compounds are used in children with influenza. Reye's syndrome is a constellation of symptoms that can result in degeneration of the liver and/or swelling of the brain.
Rare complications of influenza include encephalitis and other neurologic illnesses (e.g., transverse myelitis, Guillain-Barr syndrome, Parkinson disease), cardiac inflammation (e.g., pericarditis, myocarditis), and kidney failure following myositis (acute inflammation of the muscle).
Despite improvements in living standards and the introduction of antibiotics, an average of 30,000 deaths still are attributed to influenza each year. Most deaths occur in those patients with preexisting chronic medical conditions involving the pulmonary or the cardiovascular systems, in very young patients (less than two years of age), or in elderly patients (older than 65 years of age).
The influenza vaccine is the primary method for preventing influenza and its more severe complications. To be effective, the vaccine must contain antigens similar to those of the most likely current strain of the virus. In years when a new strain arises and causes widespread outbreaks, the available vaccine may contain a previous strain of the virus, which may give only modest protection from the flu.
Worth noting, the influenza vaccine does not affect the safety of mothers who are breastfeeding or their infants.
For those previously unvaccinated children who are 6 months to 8 years of age, two doses of the vaccine should be administered at least one month apart in order for it to be effective. For those children who are older than nine years, only one dose of the vaccine is necessary.
A live, attenuated (weakened) influenza virus vaccine (FluMist") administered by nasal spray is now available for healthy children over 2 years of age. Recent studies have suggested that this flu nasal spray provides better protection to children and all children between 2 and 8 years of age should receive this nasal spray vaccine. If it is not available, these children should still receive a flu shot.
The live flu nasal spray should not be used in the following populations:
Side effects to the vaccine may occur, and they include fever, "flu-like" symptoms of fatigue and muscle aches, and tenderness at the site of the inoculation (if given by injection). The occurrence of febrile convulsions, which have been associated with the vaccine in very young patients, is rare, and studies have shown no association of an increased frequency of Guillain-Barr syndrome and the influenza vaccine.
Acute otitis media (i.e., ear infection) is the most common cause for illness visits to the pediatrician in the United States, most often occurring in children between the ages of 6 months and 3 years, with the highest incidence in the 6- to 12-month age group.
Studies suggest that the influenza vaccine can decrease the incidence of acute otitis media in children, especially those children between the ages of 6 and 30 months, during the influenza season. These same studies also suggest that other vaccines against respiratory viruses may be an effective way to reduce the incidence of acute otitis media in children.
Whereas the currently available antiviral drugs, oseltamivir and zanamivir, are effective against influenza A and B viruses, recent resistance has been reported. In intravenous medication, panamivir has been approved for administration to severely ill hospitalized patients with influenza.
Information regarding influenza is available through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Web site at CDC FLU FACTS.
State and local health departments can be contacted for information regarding the availability of the influenza vaccine, access to vaccination programs, and information about state or local influenza activity.

There's nothing more convenient than having your own set of wheels but sometimes public transportation is really the only way to go. It's cheaper, and in some instances faster, but it's also prone to a lot of delays. Have friends in London?
Today HopStop is pushing out an update to its iPhone app called HopStop Live! that now includes real-time user feedback in seven countries across 20,000 public transport lines. Users can now submit info on over 750,000 stops letting fellow passengers know just how crappy their morning or afternoon commute will be. Real-time info is available for every and any line or route that HopStop currently supports.
HopStop says there are over two million monthly active users, so the feedback should actually be useful. Of course, if your line is underground and without phone signal or Wi-Fi, I'm not so sure you'll really be getting said feedback in real-time. HopStop says it will release updates to its iPad and Android apps in the near-ish future. [iTunes]

A bewitching proposal that should be debated.
We all know bootleggers and Baptists rarely see eye to eye. Ask one group and its members will probably tell you they despise the other group. Yet, when it comes to government regulation, both bootleggers and Baptists work together.

xybersolutions necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 106 diseños de 34 diseñadores freelance.
Looking for a logo upgrade thats clean, looks great, has personality, isn't corporate looking nor silly, but speaks "I want to build your web site the right way."
The company's name is XyberSolutions (pronounced ˈsībər səˈloō sh ən s | cyber-solutions) and though it says "cyber" in the name the company is more about building relationships and cool web sites and solutions.
The current logo can be seen at http://xybersolutions.com along with some general information about the company.
I would like to have a logo that uses a nice type along with a great graphic where the graphic can stand on it's own such as a favicon in a browser address bar, twitter avatar, or as a background on a business card, a brochure, or web page.
The overall look of the logo should allow the "Solutions" part of the name to be swapped out to other sub-company names (e.g., XyberHosting, XyberNews, XyberDesign, XyberMedia, XyberWhatever, etc.). Perhaps a secondary color (but not necessary) could be used so that the "Solutions" (or other sub-name) part stands out since the overall goal is to provide web development and strategy solutions.
The new logo should also work nicely with and without the slogan "advance your online existence TM".
Originally the current graphic was designed many years ago to illustrate/support the slogan, in the previous sentence, suggesting the phrases "moving forward," "movement," "the next step," "action," etc. If you look at the current graphic it's a "play button" but isn't necessary to retain in the new design.
The current site is being redesigned and the logo will live on a background that will have the color HEX: #170f05 or RGB: 23,15,5 which will sit atop of another content area that has the color HEX #41382b RGB: 65,56,43 (sample area at http://xybersolutions.com/logos/new…ample.png). Some other colors that are used throughout the site include: HEX #5d5750 or RGB 93,87,80 | HEX #f2deae or RGB 242,222,174 with a bit of green HEX #41832f or RGB 65,131,47 and HEX #27521b or RGB 39,82,27 with a smidgen of HEX #e5b84e or RGB 229,184,78.
Colors I like http://www.colourlovers.com/palette…-Lime_Peel but I'm open to other colors, however I'm very partial to HEX: #FBBD1C RGB: 251,189,28 - uno card yellow or HEX: #FFEA00 RGB: 255,234,0 - Vibratto Yellow; yellow-orange colors.
Other things I like: eye-candy like the hidden arrow in FedEx's logo, robots, rockets, coffee, camping, the outdoors, and earth-tones.
This guy has some great designs: http://logopond.com/members/profile…case/11791 and this is nice: http://logopond.com/gallery/detail/38322
- MUST fit in a area that is 400 px wide (max) and 90 px high (max) on the web site but not limited to this size for other mediums. - A vector format like that produced by Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Illustrator - but looks good as a gif or png. - Clean - Fun - Warm - Earthy/Organic but not too much, just a hint -- there's people behind our business that care about your business - "X" and "S" capitalized or slightly larger then the rest if the rest is capitalized (i.e., small-caps) - Use of an icon or image to compliment the name or slogan - Looks good in Black and White as well as in Color - Should work on light and dark backgrounds
- A Super Techie Look -- see comment on name above - A Computer or Computer Parts -- see previous bullet - A Corporate Look - Business Blues (i.e., dark colors) - Logos like this (FAIL!): http://xybersolutions.com/logos/xyb…-comp1.png - A Shadow

text: The Salt Your Kitchen Trash Reborn As Abstract Art December 15, 2012 Empty, forgotten, forlorn — the curbside recycling bin can seem like a sort of existential low point for all those soda bottles, tin cans, egg cartons and other containers whose contents we consume. But then – voila! Sorted for recycling, they become a thing of beauty.
