Ex-Scout leaders charged for toppling ancient Utah rock
Two former Boy Scout leaders are facing felony charges for knocking over a prehistoric rock formation in Utah, which was triumphantly recorded and posted to YouTube.
Glenn Taylor, 45, was charged Friday with criminal mischief for toppling the mushroom-shape rock Oct. 11 in Goblin Valley State Park, in southeastern Utah. David Hall, 42, was charged with aiding criminal mischief for recording the destruction.
If convicted, they could face up to five years in prison and be fined up to $5,000.
The pair, from Highland, have said they dethroned the sandstone hoodoo out of concern it would fall on some unsuspecting child. Park officials said the rock had been standing since at least the beginning of human existence.
"We've said what needed to be said in the past, we've apologized, we've said we're sorry, we're happy to see this thing coming to an end," Hall told KSL-TV on Friday. "We're just not going to be making any interview appointments, statements, anything. What's said has already been said."
The video, which has been viewed more than 4.6 million times, shows Taylor pushing over the rock, which weighed thousands of pounds. He and friends then laugh, cheer and high-five.
"We have a new modified Goblin Valley," Hall says into the camera. "A new Goblin Valley exists with this boulder down here on the bottom."
"That's crazy, it was just held up by that little bit of dirt," he adds. "Some little kid was about ready to walk down here and die, and Glenn saved his life by getting the boulder out of the way."
The Boy Scouts later removed Taylor and Hall from their leadership roles.
Taylor's attorney, Scott Card, told the Associated Press that he understands that the state filed the third-degree felony charges for "deterrent effect."
"But I believe it's an overcharge," he said.
After being contacted by angry Utahans, Rep. Dixon Pitcher, R-Ogden, learned there was no law specifically addressing the vandalism, the Salt Lake Tribunenoted. Monday, lawmakers will discuss his legislation to protect the landscape in state parks.

GigaSpaces is now taking its virtualized application platform technology to market alongside CloudTran's transaction management middleware in the form of a new product packaged up as GigaSpaces eXtreme Application Platform (XAP). The resulting Java-based solution will be targeted at large database infrastructures in all cloud environments.
GigaSpaces XAP and CloudTran are aiming to capitalize on what the companies describe as the "new approaches to transactional management" that are needed for building scalable apps on the cloud. Enabling responsive transaction processing over the largest distributed and cloud computing environments, the combined XAP-CloudTran infrastructure is vying for a place within public clouds, private clouds, and hybrid combination.
"GigaSpaces XAP is an end-to-end virtualized application platform featuring an in-memory data grid that can manage terabytes of data. Its infrastructure ensures high-speed processing with millisecond latency, while providing automatic failover," said Tom Henn, president and CEO of CloudTran.
CloudTran provides a data modeling tool and a transaction manager that implements ACID (atomicity, consistency, isolation, durability) transactions, and integrates the Gigaspaces in-memory grid and persistent data stores. CloudTran also provides hot failover recovery, which rebuilds data within the Gigaspaces' grid if a node fails.

British Empire
British Empire, overseas territories linked to Great Britain in a variety of constitutional relationships, established over a period of three centuries. The establishment of the empire resulted primarily from commercial and political motives and emigration movements (see imperialism); its long endurance resulted from British command of the seas and preeminence in international commerce, and from the flexibility of British rule. At its height in the late 19th and early 20th cent., the empire included territories on all continents, comprising about one quarter of the world's population and area. Probably the outstanding impact of the British Empire has been the dissemination of European ideas, particularly of British political institutions and of English as a lingua franca, throughout a large part of the world.

While working on compiling Travel Packs for PlanetEye, I found some pretty interesting spots. Reading Forbes Travel makes me so much more excited about traveling in general. First of all, their writers are amazing. Second of all, they really do know what to select, especially if you have your AmEx ready to pay for the recommendations.
The story on Insomnia in Style a.k.a. after hours locations from Madrid to Hong Kong. What caught my eye is the fact that people start partying later, and go all the way to the morning, ending a night on town with breakfast. The place I wanna go to in London after hopping from place to place is "London's first 24-hour upscale brassiere, Vingt-Quatre, is a cross-Channel import meant to fill the hungry stomachs of Chelsea's party clique with staple French food." Yeah! Yeah!
I'm not a big fan of extremely upscale venues, because usually the music is not so good and it becomes more about your designer outfit or a quid stack. Maybe I'm too young 😉 Oh yeah, since this post is about "partying in style", London's Intercontinental recently started to offer the "3am to 10am exclusive experience" priced at $7,000. It buys you one of the four Signature Suites at the Park Lane property and plenty of Belvedere vodka, mixers and soft beverages for you and 9 others.
Oh, also a while back when I had an issue with squirrels, I wanted to find out if any restaurants cook it. And what do you know, London's St John Restaurant offered squirrel. Apparently it's like tender rabbit, or a very gamey chicken or something like that. Point being, why not try that. Unfortunately, it seems that August is not the squirrel season, and I won't get to try it. When I live there, then.
PS. Jebus Christ, I really do blog about food too much. Well, excuse me, fine food, company and conversation are some of the most important things for me. As are respect, productivity, health and trendhunting.

Serious Reads: 4 Food Books We're Loving
All products linked here have been independently selected by our editors. We may earn a commission on purchases, as described in our affiliate policy.
1. The Road to Burgundy, by Ray Walker
Many city dwellers have dreamt of uprooting their hectic lives for the slow paced rhythms of the countryside. Ray Walker, once studying to be a big-time banker, followed his passion when he moved from San Francisco to Burgundy to start a vineyard. His growing interest in French wines had brought him on a couple of exploratory visits to Champagne and Burgundy; eventually he and his family moved to Paris so he could work on vineyards full-time. In The Road to Burgundy: The Unlikely Story of an American Making Wine and a New Life in France, he details his experience navigating a foreign language, a new city, and the industry's grape brokers as he finds his way as a winemaker.
2. Nutritionism, by Gyorgy Scrinis
Gyorgy Scrinis takes a hard look at the history of "nutritionism," commonly described as an emphasis on the value of individual nutrients and vitamins without an understanding of the holistic effects of those compounds on our bodies. In Nutritionism: The Science and Politics of Dietary Advice, he challenges Michael Pollan, Marion Nestle, and dozens of historical figures in their approaches to dietary recommendations. While a bit dense for those new to the topic, Nutritionism is a great analysis of how Americans have defined health throughout history, and provides novel alternatives for talking and thinking about nutrition.
3. To Eat, by Joe Eck and Wayne Winterrowd
Joe Eck and Wayne Winterrowd have written several books on gardening together. This is their most recent and last co-authored book, as Wayne passed away in 2010. In To Eat: A Country Life, Wayne pays beautiful homage to his partner. The book is chaptered by the varieties of vegetables, fruits, and animals that the two grew together, and goes into detail on how to nurture and cook those foods. It has lovely illustrations and interesting recipes, and provides a wealth of knowledge for burgeoning gardeners. The book's epitaph provides Joe's moving but hopeful view on a life without Wayne. A touching and lovely guide to gardening and lifelong partnership.
4. Righteous Porkchop, by Nicolette Hahn Niman
There have been many books written about industrialized meat production. Some advocate vegetarianism; others insist on the efficacy and necessity of high-capacity meat farms. Nicolette Hahn Niman—who, yes, married into that Niman family—takes a different approach in Righteous Porkchop: Finding a Life and Good Food Beyond Factory Farms. She tells her story of working as a lawyer and advocate with Robert Kennedy Jr. on a campaign against factory farming, and gets into the nitty-gritty of legal and political obstacles to meat production reform. Niman shows the realities of meat production around the country and, while against the idea of factory farming, keeps a refreshingly open mind to the experiences and stories of her interviewees.

The Pain Research, Education, and Policy Programs at Tufts University Welcome Wendy Williams
November 15, 2010
By Pamela Katz Ressler, RN, BSN, HN-BC, MS-PREP graduate student and PREP-AIRED blog moderator
You may see a new face if you are on the Tufts University School of Medicine campus in Boston these days. Wendy Williams, BSN, M.Ed, is in a new role with the Pain Research, Education and Policy Programs at Tufts University School of Medicine, focusing on program development and administration. I recently had the opportunity to sit down with Wendy to ask her a few questions about herself and her visions for the PREP programs.
Welcome Wendy…Can you tell us a bit about yourself?
I just arrived at Tufts from spending 8 years at Northeastern University in the School of Nursing working to ensure high quality clinical nursing education placements for both the undergrad/pre-licensure students and the advanced practice students seeking both clinical and non-clinical nursing master's degrees. My own clinical nursing background centers around oncology and HIV/AIDS. I spent wonderful years at both Dana Farber Cancer Institute, during the time they had inpatient units, and at Harvard Community Health Plan/Harvard Vanguard with other highly skilled nurses on the HIV/AIDS Resource Team.I married a great guy back in 1996 who had a couple of sweet little boys who are now terrific college age young men, studying here in Boston. My husband, Jeff, and I live in Framingham with our 3-legged cat, Punky, and hairless dog, Diddy.
What interests you about the PREP programs?
The concern for under-treated pain and pain management are steady threads that ran throughout my own clinical practice. Ensuring adequate pain management is a strong cornerstone of quality nursing care and practice, so the PREP programs of study are very attractive to me and tie together much of what I value. The chance to work collaboratively with the three program leaders (who are also physicians), Dr. Dan Carr and Dr. Richard Glickman-Simon and Dr. Ylisabyth Bradshaw, is an opportunity I want to leverage.I have long sought ways to be a force behind strengthening linkages between medicine and nursing and other health care disciplines to encourage both multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches to health care. The PREP programs present an ideal setting to have broad-based conversations around the area of pain issues. Also, my own master's degree is in education, specializing in adult and organizational learning, so . the opportunity to develop a program of study and optimize learning for students globally is a really strong draw for me to be here at Tufts working with the PREP programs.
What do you see as the strengths and challenges of the PREP program?
A real strength of the PREP programs is its unique position in masters level education that delves deeply into the many physical/clinical, social and scientific aspects of pain. There is not a population of people, worldwide, that is not impacted by pain issues. Also, the fact that the PREP programs are not solely clinically based creates a rich learning environment for many types of students… clinicians seeking to be subject matter experts in pain issues learn side by side with non-clinicians who may be seeing the PREP programs as a way to become well-informed advocates for pain issues. After about a month in this role, I see two challenges to the PREP programs that I would like to positively impact. One challenge is getting more and more people in the greater Boston area to know about this great set of programs and to become students in the program. I happen to know one graduate of the program, Hallie Greenberg, a nurse from the Brigham & Women's Hospital, and know that there are so many others that would be really inspired to become proficient in this area. The other challenge is understanding and communicating to others clear linkages between getting one of the certificates and/or the master's degree and a specific career enhancement. There seems to be a certain pioneering element to encouraging students to go for the certificates or the degree as a natural next step in career growth.
What are your hopes and vision for the PREP program?
I hope that PREP grows steadily, both in numbers and in innovative educational initiatives, and sustainably with input from all communities of interest: students and alumni and staff and our steering committee and faculty and leaders in pain issues globally. I would love to speak with students and alumni and gain their insights on how we can best lead the way in pain research, education and policy. I welcome calls, 617 636-0815, emails firstname.lastname@example.com, or simply stop by my office in the M&V building, Room 142A. I'd love to meet you.

No spell of protection is going to save former "Harry Potter" actor Jamie Waylett from the slew of charges authorities are throwing at him.
The 22-year old actor known for playing villain Draco Malfoy's lackey Vincent Crabbe was arrested September 20 for allegedly had a Molotov cocktail in his possession on Aug. 8 in the midst of the London riots according to E! Online.
A Metropolitan police spokesman told the Press Association that the actor was, "Charged with violent disorder, having an article with intent to destroy or damage property, receiving stolen goods and also cultivating cannabis plants."
Police discovered 15 cannabis plants in his Camden, north London home that he shares with his mother and sister.
This isn't the actor 's first run in with the law either. In 2009 police charged Waylett with possession of marijuana for which the actor has completed 120 hours of community service.
The actor was released on conditional bail Sept. 29. He was released into the custody of his mother and must abide by a 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. curfew.
Waylett is set to appear in court on Nov. 11.

Baseball season is already underway, but John S didn't let the first weekend alter his preseason predictions. You'll just have to trust him on that…
NL West
1. Arizona Diamondbacks
2. San Francisco Giants*
3. Los Angeles Dodgers
4. Colorado Rockies
5. San Diego Padres
You really nailed this division last year, huh? It's true that last year I had the Diamondbacks, who ultimately won the division, finishing last in my season preview. So in order to make up for it, I've picked them to repeat in 2012.
And it's not like it's a trendy pick, either, since nobody's really expecting Arizona to make the playoffs again. Continue reading

Thrillist ranks Oregon beer No. 1 in quality, quantity
Bring on the brew lovers.
Oregon has come in first place in the U.S. for its beer, according to Thrillist. The digital media website recently released its list of fifty-states rankings.
Why Oregon? The website gave some insight into how they ranked each state.
"Quantity and quality are both important, but quality's a bit MORE important. If you're a small state turning out a disproportionate amount of great beer, it did not go unrecognized. We also gave a boost to states who played a historical role in American beer as we know it today."
The list, published on Aug. 24, states that there are over 70 breweries in the Portland metro area, but it wasn't the quantity of beer that put Oregon at the top of the list. Instead, it was the density and quality of Oregonian beer.
The article even goes as far to say that Oregon may "be the epicenter of the craft beer movement," and just about everywhere in the state has something to offer when it comes to good beer. "Basically, if you enter a city or town in Oregon without a solid brewery, you've probably crossed into Washington or Idaho."
What does Thrillist write about No. 2 California? "Without hoppy vanguard Sierra Nevada, 99% of the beers we're lauding (and... this story!) probably wouldn't exist." And No. 3 Colorado? Thrillist appreciates that "everyone" in Colorado "with a beard" brews beer.
"Everywhere you look in Colorado -- literally everywhere -- there is beer. There is no escaping the beer. This is a good thing."
Here are the top ten states for beer, according to Thrillist:
1. Oregon
2. California
3. Colorado
4. Michigan
5. Washington
6. Vermont
7. Wisconsin
8. Pennsylvania
9. New York
10. Massachusetts

NOTES: The Jays can pull to a .500 record for the first time since they were 13-13. … Manager John Gibbons said 3B Troy Glaus was just given a day off. … SS Royce Clayton hasn't started in five games. Clayton met with GM J.P. Ricciardi before Sunday's game to discuss his situation. … 1B Lyle Overbay said he's scheduled to begin hitting off a tee on Tuesday and hopes to be ready to start taking BP by the end of the upcoming road trip. … LHP Gustavo Chacin threw on flat ground and plans on throwing off a mound in the bullpen some time during the upcoming road trip. He believed that could possibly be by the middle this week, but it might take longer.

Last year when we played Colorado in their park, they swept us and ran up the score in a couple of games. Well this is payback.
What an outing from mcGowan;if we do make the playoffs, I like out chances with this rotation-I'm not sure there's any better in the AL right now (with Burnett healthy).
Frank is hot, Vernon's warming up and if there was ever a time to go on a 10 game road trip to Minnesota, Seattle and Oakland, now's the time.
Watch out for the Blue Jays in the second half, these guys are starting to roll.
At least it wasn't a cheap blooper that broke up the no hitter. I was one of those who wanted to see McGowan traded thank God they never. I think we are looking at another Doc. Lets hope the Jays can keep it up. My guess is nobody is going to turn of their T.V. It seems like Clayton is upset because J.Mac is getting all the playing time what would you do anybody how about you Jordan.
I wondered why we got Clayton in the jirst place when we had Johnny Mac. I'd say trade Clayton off or just sell him. Great game pitched by McGowan. Looks like the whole team is finally starting to hit. Hopefully it isn't to late for them to make a push for the playoffs.
Well, hopefully sooner or later we call up Sergio Santos from AA who could be a nice replacement for Clayton. Santos is only batting .253 but leading the Eastern AA league with 14 HR's in 67 games, as a short stop. The 44 RBI's aren't bad either. He's rated to have the best throwing arm in the Jays organization.
Clayton looks like trade bait to me. Johnny Mac is playing lights out and deserves the playing time.
The best scenerio would be get rid of Clayton especially now that hes very negative about the obvious reson Johnny Mac is stealing the spotlight and also get rid of Phillips and keep thigpen as the backup since he can play first as well and seems to handle the bat really good not to mention hes in shape and can run way bettrer then Phillips. Trade these two along with taunenhiem for Bedard from Baltimore since there dead last and showing no sign of recovery and to sweeten the pot if they dont take it maybe a first round pick.
I like the idea of keeping Thigpen and trading Clayton and Phillips. They aren't spectacular bait but maybe somebody will offer something for them.
You can't trade picks in baseball.
And there's no way baltimore trades Bedard.
But don't worry, Jamie Campbell wrote in his sportsnet.ca blog a while ago that a baltimore team official told him that they expect Bedard to leave Baltimore once he's a free agent and sign at "home" in Toronto.
I agree with trading Clayton and Phillips, once Overbea gets back. If they can bundle Towers into the mix, so much the better.The Jays have done a good job in slowly moving Thigpen into the team; I think he's ready for the next step. Santos can be called up to be Clayton's replacement and slowly move him into the lineup like we've done with Thigpen
Do not expect much value for Clayton and Phillips. I think we'd be lucky to have some team pick up their contracts.
It was nice to see Fasano land back at Syracuse; he'd be a nice replacement, like he was before, if either Zaun or Thigpen get injured.
i would be trading Phillips or Clayton anytime soon both are still needed until overbay and Johnson are back. but the ones that really need to be traded are Chacin and Towers. towers is just painful to watch and Chacin pitched(or the lack there of) him self out of Toronto's plans. why not just ride out jesse Litch or Ty.T until bedard is a free agent and he wants to come to TO and is infinatly better then Chacin. and you can't forget about Dave Purcey. this kid could be better than Bedard. Chacin still has value for trades why not move him for a better shortstop?
and I can't stand how people were booing Jansen. why? so he gave up 6 runs. our ace gave up 17 runs in 2 games and no one booed him. besides that he has been absolutly lights out. gove the kid his due.
I haven't got much to add, except that the recent talk of Bedard playing for Toronto is exciting. I agree with most people for the most part on trade possibilities. Would a package deal including Towers, Chacin, Phillips, and Clayton get more in return? Hopefully J.P. knows better than to get patch solutions (e.g. Thompson, Okha, etc.) this time. If we get rid of Chacin, we need to get a lefty (Purcey until Bedard?).
I am so glad that all of the jays are starting to hit again. With the pitching as good as it has been, we will definetely have a shot at the wild card maybe even the division. I mean there are about 90 games left. That is plenty of time for the jays to win and hopfully redsox lose.
The biggest reason I am posting this comment is I read on yahoo rumors that the jays are thinking about trading troy glaus. I was wondering what you guys think about that.
The Troy Glaus rumors were started by a newspaper in LA, suggesting that's who the Angels should go after and dump the looser Hillabrand. Imagine that-Shea's already worn out his welcome.
The trade I'd like to see is Chachin and Towers to the white sox for Mark Buehle-a quality veteran lefty.
I believe that Mark Buerhle would take a lot more then Towers and Chacin to get out of Chicago qsumner, but I do like the idea of trying to go after him, providing that the jays can get permission to talk to him about a contract extension. If not then I wouldn't do it if i'm the jays.
As far as the jays getting themselves back into the wild card race then I say they have to come out of this 10 game road trip with at least 6 wins. 5 and 5 wont do it because that keeps them where they are at now and takes 10 games off the schedule. Even the 3 games at home against Seattle is huge. These next few games are all against teams slightly ahead of the jays and they can't afford to lose more ground on any of them.
Wow, just checked the schedule again and realized that the 3 games at home is acutally against Cleveland (the current wild-card leader) Obviously that goes without saying as to how huge this stretch is.
Well we could throw in Clayton-Chicago need a better back up infielder than what they have. The reason I bring up the potential trade is there's a rumor out of Chicago today saying they're about to dump the current team. Since Bruehle is a free agent at the end of this season, they'll definately move him. Talking to him about a contract extension wouldn't be a problem-that's what he wants; just not with Chicago.
Actually, the next 21 games are critical. We play 4 in Minnesota, 3 in Oakland and 3 in Seattle, before coming home to play 3 against Cleveland.
Then, right after the break we play 4 in New York and 4 in Boston. 18 of 21 on the road-we always seem to get the butt end of the schedule.
We will certainly know where we stand when this stretch is over. If Burnett is healthy, I like our chances of doing well with the hitting starting to roll.
If we do, our chances of winning the wild card are enhanced dramatically, since we play all the teams in front of us now. Then, the Bruehle trade makes sense, if we don't it doesn't-although I don't see the Jays dumping salaries or players at trade deadline.
This team, with a quality 5th starter will be hard to beat this year or next
Definitaly agree with your thoughts on everything, just keep in mind though that the jays will not likely be the only team after Mark. They'll probably create a bidding for the guy and in that case I doubt the jays will come up with enough to entice chicago to move him here. Chicago could probably ask for a Thigpen or a David Purcey (in some sort of package) for example and the Jays shouldn't give them those types of players unless they believe they can sign him to a new contract (in my opinion).
If the Jays do come out of the stretch that you mentioned with great results then I definitaly wouldn't blame them if they up the ante. The thing I like about the team is that most of the core players are locked up for a couple of seasons, so even if Mark couldn't quite get us into the playoffs this year, he definitaly will be a big help next. (assuming that he signs a new contract with Toronto)
Have you ever heard such ****! It's absolutely hilarious listening to all the dillusional fans out here. Eric Bedard is practically a Blue Jay, lol, what is he 3 or 4 years away from free agency. Mark Buehrle coming for a package of Clayton, Phillips, and Towers. Sorry guys but nobody wants these guys… that's why they are here. Stupid baseball idiot fans giving up on Chacin because he's injured and apparently " pitched himself off the rotation". This guy has a lifetime .625 winning percentage and all he does is Win games so lets get rid of him because what is he 26 years old. LOL LOL…. If you dummies have nothing good to say keep your silly comments to your buddies who watch baseball once a week. Just so you guys know it would take something like Lind, Thigpen and Marcum to land a pitcher of Buehrles' calliber signed or not.
Sorry to dissapoint all of you but Dave Purcey is hardly the second coming of Steve Carlton. The guy has a couple of decent starts in double A and has been getting Lit ever since!! E.R.A. almost six in Doubs and they think he's bringing back the World Series…LOL LOL
The thing that i'll respond to you is that if you're going to look at win percentage alone then Chacin is our second best starter. I think the guy does have value to this club but to say that he shouldn't be traded because his winning percentage is good is a little close minded. Fact is the guy could probably get a decent return on the market and if the right deal is there I would do it.
I am well aware that Chicago could and should ask for those players in return for Beurhle and if that's the case I did mention that Toronto shouldn't do it unless they are confident that they can sign him to a new deal and if that is the case then they should just wait untill the off-season beacause I am now hearing that Chicago is not allowing anybody to talk to Mark about a contract.
By the way David Purcey is still considered a good prospect and he is only 24 yrs old I believe. Roy Halladay didn't exactly dazzle in his first couple of seasons in the bigs (remember he was actually demoted to double A at one point) and look at him now.
The only one here that's dilusional is yourself. Your posts show your lack of knowledge as well as your arrogance.
I know you probably haven't noticed, because you're so focused on looking at the ugly thing in the mirror, but rent players haven't gotten major value in the last few years-case in point Soriono last year.
At the moment Chicago are scouting minor league prospects from 2 to 3 teams, which is what they think they can get in return-one or two minor league prospects. Again you are probably not aware of that-people that talk as much as you generally don't hear much.
And Purcey is injured-so give your mouth a break.
Chacin might have a reasonable win record, but it's not going to last for long. The only reason he has that record is phenomenal run support-nothing else.
He's effective once-maybe twice against a team and then they figure him out and bash him.
If he is as good as you think he is, Chicago will jump at the deal-since his win/loss percentage is higher than Buelrhe's.
I have to agree with enigma_d17 and gsumner. Chacin wins because of the Jays offense not becuase of his ablilty. now granted i was on the Chacin bandwagon from the start but i am tired of lack luster starts. HE HAS A WORSE ERA THAN TOWERS! I'm sorry but that is just terrible. I would love to see him come back from his injury and pitch well. it just wont be in TO especially since our rotation is already better without him and lots of teams are looking for pitching. He still has value.
And as for Purcey there is a reason that the Jays traded Zack Jackson instead of him. He's better.
As for getting Beurhle maybe if the price is right and he doesn't get in the way of getting Bedard or Jesse Litch or Dave Purcey. as much as i would like him i don't think he is really necessary. and Jansen could even start again once Ryan and League and Romero are back. we really don't need another starter next year. maybe just rent him for this year but even still that seems like a waste of talent to get get him.
another thought if we are going to trade for a starter why not just go and trade for Bedard? he is younger and more talented than Beurhle. and he wants to come here anyway. we have a ton of pitching now. its time to remove the dross (Chacin, towers, Vambrano) maybe add Bedard and we have our staff set for the next 5 to 10 years.
the rotation of Halladay, Burnett, Marcum, McGowan is going to be one of the best for years to come so add Bedard it will be the best. as long as the 5th starter can give you 10 wins and a 4.40 ERA that will be more than pleny. Litch, purcey, Jansen can all do much better than that. not to mention Ty. T is still in the mix and i am sure there are others getting close to major leauge ready. unless it is Bedard i have no need for another starter or Towers and Chacin
I like the tought of our rotation
Accardo (league would be good but accardo is doing so good why take him out)
and all the others
Now think about this you got Litch, Purcey and Janesen if one of your starters gets injured and you are set. I really don't see the point of Buehrle unless you want some experience but i think you get enough of that with Halladay, Burnett and Bedard.
Think about the lineup we have
(hate to see johnson go but rios is better and i think we should keep stairs or Lind)
Glaus (really hope they don't trade him)
J mac
I'm not sure when Bedard's contract is over, if it's next year great, if not than if you can get Buerhle until Bedard comes that would be great, but buerhle would probably cost alot so you might have to see marcum go or thigpen and i say pitching wins games so go for it and have jannsen replace marcum.

2 1/2 cups boiled (or canned) chickpeas
1 cup parsley
50 g feta cheese (adjust)
1 red onion
1-2 tomato (optional)
2 garlic cloves
1-2 tbs olive oil
1/2 tbs lemon juice (or to taste)
Salt and pepper to taste
Crush and grind the garlic into a fine paste. We love garlic and are quite indulgent with garlic in our cooking but eating them raw, even in a salad, is quite unthinkable to me. I had some roasted garlic (infused in olive oil). I had prepared this a couple of days ago to bake Focaccia and had enough left to use in this salad.
Place all the vegetables in a bowl. Prepare the dressing by whisking lemon juice, salt, pepper and olive oil. Add the ground garlic in the dressing. Drizzle the dressing over the vegetables and toss them. Add the feta cheese and the chickpeas. Gently toss and serve.

Envisat observes resurgent ozone hole
The latest ESA Earth Observation data show that reports of the demise of the ozone hole appearing annually above Antarctica have been greatly exaggerated.
The ozone hole is normally at its largest in September, but 2002 saw it at its smallest extent for more than a decade: 40% down on previous years. And a year ago yesterday ongoing satellite measurements of ozone - gathered by the Royal Dutch Meteorological Institute (KNMI) from the Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment (GOME) instrument on ESA's
"Using GOME we have gathered global stratospheric ozone data over the last eight years," said Henk Eskes of KNMI. "And last year we were actually able to accurately predict the split a few days before it happened, as we were operating an ozone forecasting service."
This dramatic reverse came just two years after the ozone hole had reached a record size – nearly 30 million sq km in 2000.
There was speculation that last year's shrinking hole showed the ozone layer was recovering from damage caused by man-made chemicals including chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) - in the past used in aerosol cans and refrigerators. But the bad news is that this year's ozone hole looks much more like the 2000 than the 2002 version.
The latest ozone measurements acquired yesterday by the Michelson Interferometer for Passive Atmospheric Sounding (MIPAS) instrument aboard Envisat - ESA's latest Earth Observation spacecraft – show this year's ozone hole is in no danger of splitting this time, and, with an area of 26 million sq km, is almost as big as the 2000 ozone hole. The Belgian Institute for Space Aeronomy (BIRA-IASB) generated this value-adding MIPAS data based on level 2 products provided by ESA.
MIPAS is a German-built instrument that works by measuring infrared emissions from the Earth's 'limb' – the band of atmosphere between planetary surface and empty space, as observed from behind Envisat. Working through day and night, MIPAS can map the atmospheric concentrations of more than 20 trace gases, including ozone as well as the pollutants that attack it. This makes the instrument invaluable in the study of atmospheric chemistry.
Stratospheric ozone absorbs up to 98% of the Sun's harmful ultraviolet light. But human production of CFCs and other pollutants has led to thinning of this protective ozone layer. The discovery of this fact in the 1980s came as a shock.
"Nobody expected such an outcome," said Eskes. "The very reason these classes of compounds were used by industry was because they were chemically inert – they did not react with other materials. Now we have learned to expect surprises, and we monitor accordingly."
What was not anticipated was that when these compounds reach a sufficiently high altitude they are split apart by contact with high-energy UV light, releasing more reactive chemicals – chief among them chlorine. In the presence of high-altitude clouds in the cold air above the South Pole these reactive chemicals break ozone down to form oxygen molecules.
"The result of this discovery was the international Montreal Protocol, which has been very successful," said Eskes. "Emissions of ozone-destroying compounds have been reduced and their concentration in the atmosphere has stabilised. But they are very long-lived and will stay in place for a long time."
A single molecule of chlorine can degrade more than 100,000 molecules of ozone. And there are large amounts of them in the air – largely stored within intermediate and inactive 'reservoir' compounds, but activated by particular meteorological conditions, notably those found above the South Pole in winter.
Current data from MIPAS do show a high level of chlorine activation over Antarctica. The ozone layer is most prone to thinning here because the extreme low temperatures of the long polar night form ice clouds containing chlorine compounds. Then sunshine from the polar spring splits the chlorine into ultra-reactive radicals, which depletes the ozone.
Small ozone holes have also been known to form over the Arctic, but meteorological conditions there prevent the stratospheric temperature dropping enough to cause thinning on an Antarctic scale. The small size of the 2002 Antarctic ozone hole was due to the same reason – unusual wind patterns and warm weather prevented more ice cloud formation. But this year's measurements show there is little room for complacency on this issue.
"Since the end of the 1990s, there is experimental evidence that the total chlorine loading in the stratosphere is decreasing, but this is a slow process," observed Dominique Fonteyn of BIRA-IASB. "Superimposed on this is the meteorological variability which this year still allows sufficient chlorine activation over a large area and for a longer period than last year."
MIPAS will continue to monitor the condition of the ozone layer for the life of the Envisat spacecraft, together with the spacecraft's other atmospheric instruments: Global Ozone Monitoring by Occultation of Stars (GOMOS) and Scanning Imaging Absorption Spectrometer for Atmospheric Cartography (SCIAMACHY). KNMI has plans to resume its ozone forecasting service using the latter instrument.
And in 2005 the first of the three-spacecraft MetOp operational meteorology system will be launched into polar orbit. MetOp will include a next-generation ozone-monitoring instrument called GOME-2, intended to guarantee continuity of observation of this vital environmental factor well into the following decade.

Players sat with injuries. Derrick Rose dominated. And the Bulls won.
In a common refrain from this preseason, the Bulls improved to 6-0 in the preseason despite playing without Joakim Noah, Jimmy Butler and Kirk Hinrich. Behind Derrick Rose's 24 points and six players in double figures, they downed the Bucks 105-84 on Monday night at the United Center.
Rose has now scored 78 points in his last 80 minutes, 50 seconds.
"He's back. That's what I think," Bucks coach Larry Drew said before the game. "He's picking it up where he left off. He's a phenomenal player."
Coach Tom Thibodeau criticized the way his starters began last game. But against the Bucks, despite starting Taj Gibson for Noah and Mike Dunleavy for Butler, the Bulls jumped to a 20-4 edge early.
Gibson and Bucks guard Brandon Knight later drew double technical fouls for getting entangled while fighting for a rebound and exchanging shoves.
Carlos Boozer finished with a double-double of 16 points and 10 rebounds.

I am a beginner and my teacher assigned us a problem where we are given an array named arr. We are supposed to create a new array that only has the odd values from arr. This is my code:
However, say for example that arr had only even integers to begin with. My new array will be filled with 0's.public int [] youMakeMeOdd(int [] arr) { int[] ans = new int[arr.length]; for (int i = 0; i<arr.length; i++) { if(arr[i] % 2 != 0) { ans[i] = arr[i]; } } return ans; }
But it is supposed to not have the zeros.
Say arr was {2,4,5,6}. My new array should be {5}. Instead it is{0,0,5,0}. I need a way to get rid of the zeros. Any help would be appreciated.

Taken from Gage + DeSoto, writing and photos by yours truly.
Being a collector can have its drawbacks – usually in the form of expenses and storage. One or the other will invariably rear its ugly head, and I'll be forced to re-evaluate my collection. (That, or the desire for something new arises. which then requires selling x to raise money for y.) So like most of us, I've experienced an ebb and flow of collectibles throughout the years.
One such item that has seen a steady exit from my closet recently is the pro team kit. I amassed a decent collection of kits when I first started riding and I wasn't on a team. So I inadvertently chose to become Captain Poseur, sporting a different livery with each ride. I quickly learned that it was not cool to wear a kit for a semi-current team that you aren't a part of.
In hindsight, I should have just kept the jerseys and kits in question. Today, they are so obsolete that I'd have no problem wearing them. But, the space (and $) issue came into play. You can only have so much lycra at one point in time, especially with my limited square footage in NYC.
As such, they're gone, but I figured it would be nice to gather up a few of my favorites for a "retrospective". You'll find a gallery of eight jerseys that I managed to photograph before they hit eBay. Some attractive, some ugly – but all great.

Talent borrows, genius steals, sloth apes.
"The Green Hornet," starring Seth Rogen, is the most recent (and among the more egregious) cases of Hollywood co-opting a franchise just for the sake of the name value, without leveraging what originally made the brand so great.
The Green Hornet of the '50s and '60s was a badass vigilante who teamed up with his trusty sidekick to fight crime. This new version uses only the broadest plot points and a really bitching car, while making a mockery of the hero.
What's puzzling about this approach is that it's guaranteed to anger the true fans who've maintained the brand's value, the same people who are the baked-in audience you should be counting on to propel the film's box-office fortunes.
Director Michel Gondry recently dismissed the Green Hornet's fans as "fascists" (an even worse strategy) for not liking what he's done with their hero. But, hey, the days of making goofy, campy movies about old-school heroes are over.
If Rogen, writing partner Evan Goldberg and Gondry wanted to have fun with the genre, and make sport of tired super hero tropes, it could've been more effectively done by crafting a whole new hero. Both "Kick-Ass" and "Megamind' were able to tweak the nose of the genre without disappointing a target audience, by offering a whole new hero.
Rogen is both the film's star and weak link. His Britt Reid/Green Hornet feels as though it's mostly improvised. He's a doofus whose transition from party boy to crime fighter isn't entirely convincing. It's too bad, because the rest of the cast is mostly pitch-perfect.
Jay Chou is cool as ice filling the shoes of Bruce Lee, rocking the black suit, skinny tie, martial arts magic and all manner of gadgetry. Christoph Waltz is fantastic as the petulant and insecure crime lord Chudfnofsky, a man genuinely hurt by the suggestion that his suit isn't scary enough. Cameron Diaz is more than just a blonde sex object, though that's all the Hornet sees.
James Franco is hilarious in a cameo as an up-and-coming gangster who understands the importance of criminals being well dressed. Even Edward Furlong (he's alive!) gives a great turn as a meth cooker, who tastes the Green Hornet's wrath.
Some of the action sequences are very cool, with the Black Beauty doing a lot of the work, but the 3D is largely wasted. It's telling that the closing credits are among the film's most eye-popping moments. Gondry is a man of vision and talent, but he has a habit of letting himself go too far, the man desperately needs a check on his flights of fancy. At his worst he rehashes parts of the plot he wasn't able to convey organically by using a mix of paper cutouts, animated flowers and voice over. Huh…?
There are a some fun performances, a couple of interesting ideas poorly pursued, action sequences of varying degrees of quality and an ending that drags on forever. All in all, "The Green Hornet" is a bit of a mess, and, ironically, your best hope for enjoying "The Green Hornet" is not to be a fan of "The Green Hornet."

It's not hard to conclude, then, that what follows will be a largely positive review of Tell Me Where It Hurts. Sure, the subtitle's a mite contrived, as is the day-in-a-life format Dr.Trout practically apologizes for in his opening bid for his readers' sympathies. And even if he seems overly eager to make us fall in love with his brand of quirky wit, in the end it's okay…he's a surgeon, after all, and even those of the veterinary variety temper their legendary surgical egos with no small dose of charisma.
I mean that as no sly slur, really. All vets love to be loved—present company included. This flaw is part of our innate charm, I think—a forgivably innocuous Achilles heel borne ofmuch client adulation and early success in life. If surgeons offer a bit more bluster than most, well, that's quite all right—especially if their pomp lives up to its promise.
In his post as veterinary surgeon at Angell Animal Medical Center in Boston, the subject of this memoir, Dr. Trout is uniquely qualified to lead an informative expedition into veterinary medicine's heart of darkness. After all, his day job is a taxing amalgam of interpersonal skill, medical expertise and technical talent played at the profession's highest levels.

Instead, Trout trades what might have been a trip down a river of gloomy reality for a veterinary romp in the tradition of the genre's undisputed genius, James Herriot (of the "All Creatures…" series fame). Exchanging bucolic, 1950s England for 21st-century suburban Boston, UKborn and educated Dr.Trout convincingly recalls everything we ever loved about his countryman, while never letting us forget that this is a thoroughly modern read.
In fact, it would seem that in his urgency to update the master, Dr. Trout manages to raise every notable issue affecting contemporary veterinary medicine—from the feminization of the profession to pet health insurance and the risk of suicide that comes with the territory.Chapter by chapter, he crams it all in, leaving no pet medical stone unturned and no newsworthy animal issue behind.
In the end, Trout relies on his scathing humor and glorious British irreverence to pull out a surprisingly insightful, often hilarious take on himself, his profession, his colleagues, his clients and his patients —in that order. That he does so without raising hackles speaks to his prodigious gift for being downright, self-deprecatingly funny. Yet, in so doing, I can't help feel his bantering style cuts far from the bone.
But perhaps this more critical opinion is the casualty of a second read. The first go-round breezed by like a busy day at work—one free of responsibilities, as in the voyeuristic, somewhat sadistic pleasure we guiltily succumb to when listening to a smart colleague rant cathartically after a very rough day (preferably over beers at a nearby watering hole).
The second read? I guess I wanted more than a colleague's easy dissection—some bite, if you will, no matter how droll—if I was going to have a go at the same material again. "Gimme dirt, buddy!" I yelled at the pages (rest assured, in the privacy of my own home this time).
But then, I'm a vet and Dr. Trout's experiences resonate so well with my worldview of veterinary medicine that I guess I can't help it if I want a little more Conrad and a little less Herriot in my literature. And, truth be told, I get the vet surgeon spiel every night from the first one I fell for. Thus, I've since learned to be critical, even of genius.

WILLIAMSBURG — William & Mary opened its 20thannual Colonial All-Pro Football Camp on Sunday with an appearance by NFL quarterback and Richmond native Russell Wilson.
Wilson spoke to the crowd of more than 350 kids and encouraged them to become self-motivated and to make the most of every opportunity that they are given in life.
The Seattle Seahawk quarterback is living proof of his message, making the most of his opportunity to start for the Seahawks in his rookie season, leading them to an 11-5 record and a playoff berth in 2012.
In a question and answer session at the end of the day, campers asked Wilson a variety of questions ranging from what it was like to be a professional football player, to one camper who questioned the call on the controversial last-second touchdown pass that Wilson threw to beat the Green Bay Packers in overtime.
"Of course, it was a touchdown," Wilson responded to the camper.
Wilson is one of three Pro Bowl quarterbacks that will attend the camp this week. Former No. 1 draft pick and Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck is scheduled to attend the camp on Monday, and Matt Ryan from the Atlanta Falcons will be at William and Mary on Tuesday.
This year's trio of NFL quarterbacks will join an elite company of pros that have attended the camp in previous years. Aaron Rodgers, Brett Favre and Tom Brady are among the more recent NFL stars to share some professional instruction with local football players.
The football camp is for boys ages 8 through rising seniors in high school, most of which attend the camp for the opportunity to meet and catch passes from NFL players such as Wilson.
One such camper, Richard D'Abreu, 12, said he was excited to have the chance to meet Wilson and was the first one to point Wilson out when he entered the stadium.
"That's Russell Wilson," D'Abreu repeated over and over again, making sure all of his fellow campers knew exactly who was walking across the field.
D'Abreu said that meeting Wilson was amazing and described catching a pass from the NFL quarterback as the highlight of his life thus far.
"It's a great honor for me to have the opportunity to come here and be with these kids," Wilson said. "I never was able to go to this camp as a kid, because I was always playing baseball. So it's nice to now finally be able to be here."

Why was Jason Segel's full-frontal scene cut from 'Five-Year Engagement'?
Bad news for those of you who were hoping to catch another glimpse of Jason Segel's nether regions in "The Five-Year Engagement": A scene featuring a full-frontal view of the actor has been cut from the film.
Earlier this year, rumors began circulating that the 32-year-old would drop trou in his latest romantic comedy, out April 27. Segel infamously revealed his genitalia in 2008's "Forgetting Sarah Marshall," and in recent years other men have followed his lead, including Michael Fassbender in "Shame" and Jason Biggs in "American Reunion."
Segel did indeed shoot a scene sans underwear for "Five-Year," which he co-wrote with Nicholas Stoller (Stoller also directs). The film, which co-stars Emily Blunt, is about a couple who keep sidelining their wedding. In the planned bit, Segel's character abruptly leaves a sexual encounter, running outside onto snow-covered streets without his pants. The new cut will show only his backside.
"In 'Sarah Marshall,' the full-frontal is not completely gratuitous -- it's kind of a metaphor for his vulnerability," said Stoller, noting that Segel's nudity in "Marshall" occurred during an emotional break-up. "When I looked at the scene in the new movie, it did seem gratuitous. I was like, 'This doesn't work.'"
Segel was fine with the cut, Stoller added. "He was like, 'Hey, man, you're the director,'" the filmmaker recalled.
Weeks ahead of its opening, pre-release audience polling indicates "Five-Year" could be headed for a strong opening.
"That's a new experience for me, because my last films always had soft tracking," said Stoller, who also directed "Marshall" and "Get Him to the Greek." "This is the first movie I've made that the title is the movie -- people know what they're going to get."
'Forgetting Sarah Marshall' lets it all hang out

|More than 100 Killed in New 'Massacre' in Syria
|[An Nahar] More than 100 civilians have been killed in a new "massacre" in Syria, a watchdog said Thursday, as Russia slammed the United States for blaming deadly blasts at a university campus on the Damascus
...Home to a staggering array of terrorist organizations...
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the deaths came when the army on Tuesday swept through farmlands north of Homs city, where it said around 1,000 people had sought refuge from fighting in the central Syria metropolis.
"The Syrian regime carried out a new massacre on Tuesday claiming 106 victims, including women and kiddies," said the Britannia-based watchdog, which relies on a network of activists and medics on the ground.
Witnesses said several members of the same family were among those killed, some in fires that raged through their homes and others stabbed or hacked to death. Among the dead were 32 members of the same clan.
Homs, dubbed "the capital of the revolution" by Syria's opposition, is the most strategic city in the country's largest province, lying on key trade routes near the borders with Leb and Iraq, and with its southwestern areas not far from Damascus.
Pro-regime daily al-Watan reported army advances against "gunnies" -- a term used by the regime for faceless myrmidons -- in the area, but activists said there were no faceless myrmidons there.
"They came in and slaughtered the women and the children. They burned their bodies," an unidentified woman told an anti-regime activist, according to amateur video distributed by Homs-based opponents of the regime.
The Observatory urged the U.N. to send a fact-finding team to probe the latest bloodshed.
The reported deaths were the latest to emerge from Syria, where twin blasts on Tuesday tore through an Aleppo campus while students were sitting exams.
At least 87 people were killed in one of the bloodiest attacks of the 22-month conflict, in a city that has suffered some $2.5 billion in damage in six months of bitter conflict, according to Aleppo's governor.
No one grabbed credit for the Aleppo blasts, but the United States blamed government forces for the violence, suggesting they were caused by air strikes on university buildings.
The remarks by U.S. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland triggered an angry Russian response.
"I cannot imagine anything more blasphemous," said Moscow's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Thursday, describing the killings as a "terrorist act."
Violence erupted again in Syria on Thursday, with the Observatory reporting several air strikes on flashpoints in Damascus province and Kafr Nabuda in the central province of Hama.
In the Husseiniyeh area near the capital, warplanes dropped three missiles killing 11 civilians, among them seven children, said the Observatory.
An air strike on Kafr Nabuda killed another four children, the monitoring group said, adding that more than 3,500 children have been killed in Syria's conflict.
...back at the Alamo, Davy was counting their remaining cannon balls and not liking the results...
in the majority Kurdish town of Ras al-Ain, in the northern province of Hasakeh, unprecedentedly fierce fighting pitted rebels against pro-regime Kurdish fighters, the Observatory said.
Unlike in previous festivities in Ras al-Ain, jihadists did not join the fight alongside the rebels on Thursday.
But a senior Jordanian salafist said two prominent jihadists were killed in fighting regime troops alongside al-Nusra Front fighters in Syria, among them a brother-in-law of slain al-Qaeda in Iraq leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.
The Observatory gave a corpse count for Thursday of 127 killed -- 68 civilians, 34 rebels and 25 soldiers.
More than 60,000 people, mostly civilians, have been killed in Syria's conflict, according to the United Nations
...what started out as a a diplomatic initiative, now trying to edge its way into legislative, judicial, and executive areas...
, while the Observatory says it has documented more than 48,000 dead.
The conflict has sent some 600,000 people fleeing the country, most of them to neighboring countries, according to the U.N..
An official in Iraq said it will reopen two border points to Jordan and Syria more than a week after they were closed after protests against Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki in Anbar blocked the main route linking Storied Baghdad
...located along the Tigris River, founded in the 8th century, home of the Abbasid Caliphate...
to the two countries.

Brew Hub, a St. Louis-based company founded by former Anheuser-Busch executives, has chosen Lakeland's Interstate Commerce Park as the site of a new brewery cooperative.
LAKELAND | Lakeland is poised to become a major player in Florida's craft beer scene.
Brew Hub, a St. Louis-based company founded by former Anheuser-Busch executives, has chosen Lakeland's Interstate Commerce Park, just east of the Polk Parkway interchange on Interstate 4, as the site of a new brewery cooperative, giving local, small-scale craft brewers a chance to go big.
"Brew Hub will allow great craft brewers to grow their businesses by expanding into new markets they otherwise could not reach," the
company's CEO, Tim Schoen, said in a news release. "This is the most exciting time in history to be in the beer business."
The nation's craft beer industry last year saw a 17 percent rise in dollar growth, according to the Brewers Association. Craft beer now makes up 6.5 percent of the total U.S. beer market, in terms of volume, up from 5.7 percent the previous year.
Months in the working, the proposed Brew Hub brewery could begin construction next month, with brewing under way by the summer of 2014.
City officials are working with Brew Hub to iron out wastewater and zoning issues.
"They're very impressive and all signs are they'll be moving forward, but there's still work to be done," said Jim Studiale, Lakeland's community development director.
Initial plans call for a facility exceeding 50,000 square feet of space with a brewing capacity of 75,000 barrels, or 1 million cases.
Product will be packaged on site and stored for distribution.
The brewery will include a tasting room and retail store.
Brewers will choose from a variety of options, including assistance with recipes, ingredients, aging and full laboratory services for chemical and microbiological analyses.
Unlike contract brewing operations, which make beer to a client's specifications, Brew Hub is more of a full-service concept that includes sales and marketing expertise, pricing strategy and guidance through the legal hoops of interstate sales and transportation.
"This is a very new concept. There's definitely issues with shipping beers clear across the country," said Joey Redner, founder and CEO of Cigar City Brewing in Tampa.
Redner, who just four years into his enterprise has become something of a craft beer wunderkind, said he thinks he's a good fit for Brew Hub, and has already met with Schoen to discuss business.
"There's a lot of specifics to figure out, but the general outline is obviously attractive to a small business that's experiencing a lot of growth," he said.
Cigar City grew fast, going from 5,000 barrels a year to an estimated 25,000 barrels for 2013. Named the No. 1 hottest startup in the country in 2010 by Entrepreneur magazine, Cigar City expanded into six states up and down the East Coast.
But demand outpaced production, Redner said, causing him to cease out-of-state sales this year.
"I suspect if we were able to strike a partnership with them (Brew Hub) we would probably be able to go into states that we've had to pull out of," he said.
There likely are other craft brewers in Florida lining up behind Redner to team with Brew Hub.
"The Bew Hub is an idea that's time has come," J. Paul Pepin, of Tampa's Pepin Distributing, said in a news release. "The demand for craft beer in our area is almost endless, and, while the local craft beers are excellent, beer drinkers also want access to beers they've had in their travels. Brew Hub will allow us to deliver these beers fresh and in a way that makes good business sense for brewer, wholesaler, retailer and, most importantly, the consumer."
Plans call for five regional breweries over the next five years. Brew Hub is considering locations in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, Texas and the West Coast.
Paul Farnsworth, Brew Hub's chief brewmaster, will oversee the Lakeland operation. In addition to Schoen, the company's founders include Jerry Mullane and Mark Greenspahn. The company is receiving financial assistance from The Yucaipa Cos. of Los Angeles.

Intel has slashed the price of a number of its desktop and mobile processors, but the cuts, while deep, aren't as extensive as anticipated. However, the move confirms an aggressive pricing plan for the chip maker's 1333MHz frontside bus parts.
The headline reduction is the 50 per cent Intel knocked off the price of the four-core, 2.4GHz Core 2 Quad Q6600, which now costs just $266, down from $530 - the price of the new, 2.66GHz Q6700.
The remaining cuts were much more modest. The Core 2 Duo E4400's price was cut 15 per cent to $113; the Pentium E2140's from $74 to $71, a reduction of four per cent. Thirteen per cent came off the price of the Celeron D 347 - it now costs $34, down from $39. And Intel now charges 20 per cent less for the Celeron M 520 and 530, which are now priced at $86 and $107, respectively.
New to Intel's price list: the 1.86GHz Celeron M 540 at $134 and the 2GHz Core 2 Duo E4500 at just one dollar less, $133. But the major roll-out was the 1333MHz FSB Core 2 Duo E6x50 line. This series is priced at below comparably clocked 1066MHz FSB Core 2 Duo E6x00 chips, suggesting Intel wants to drive the rapid adoption of these chips, allowing it to phase out the older models quickly.

|PL/SQL User's Guide and Reference
Release 2 (9.2)
Part Number A96624-01
PL/SQL Language Elements, 33 of 52
OPEN statement executes the multi-row query associated with an explicit cursor. It also allocates resources used by Oracle to process the query and identifies the result set, which consists of all rows that meet the query search criteria. The cursor is positioned before the first row in the result set. For more information, see "Managing Cursors".
This identifies an explicit cursor previously declared within the current scope and not currently open.
This identifies a cursor parameter; that is, a variable declared as the formal parameter of a cursor. (For the syntax of
cursor_parameter_declaration, see "Cursors".) A cursor parameter can appear in a query wherever a constant can appear.
Generally, PL/SQL parses an explicit cursor only the first time it is opened and parses a SQL statement (thereby creating an implicit cursor) only the first time the statement is executed. All the parsed SQL statements are cached. A SQL statement must be reparsed only if it is aged out of the cache by a new SQL statement.
So, although you must close a cursor before you can reopen it, PL/SQL need not reparse the associated
SELECT statement. If you close, then immediately reopen the cursor, a reparse is definitely not needed.
Rows in the result set are not retrieved when the
OPEN statement is executed. Rather, the
FETCH statement retrieves the rows. With a
UPDATE cursor, the rows are locked when the cursor is opened.
If formal parameters are declared, actual parameters must be passed to the cursor. The formal parameters of a cursor must be
IN parameters. Therefore, they cannot return values to actual parameters. The values of actual parameters are used when the cursor is opened. The datatypes of the formal and actual parameters must be compatible. The query can also reference PL/SQL variables declared within its scope.
Unless you want to accept default values, each formal parameter in the cursor declaration must have a corresponding actual parameter in the
OPEN statement. Formal parameters declared with a default value need not have a corresponding actual parameter. They can simply assume their default values when the
OPEN statement is executed.
You can associate the actual parameters in an
OPEN statement with the formal parameters in a cursor declaration using positional or named notation.
If a cursor is currently open, you cannot use its name in a cursor
FOR loop.
Given the cursor declaration
CURSOR parts_cur IS SELECT part_num, part_price FROM parts;
the following statement opens the cursor:
OPEN parts_cur;
Given the cursor declaration
CURSOR emp_cur(my_ename VARCHAR2, my_comm NUMBER DEFAULT 0) IS SELECT * FROM emp WHERE ...
any of the following statements opens the cursor:
OPEN emp_cur('LEE'); OPEN emp_cur('BLAKE', 300); OPEN emp_cur(employee_name, 150);

The original information literacy rubric, entitled Criteria for Information Literacy Competency, was developed by Grace F. Bulaong, Library Director; Dr. Helen Hoch, Professor of Biology; and Robert J. Matthews, Associate Professor of Business Administration at New Jersey City University. The rubric was included in the publication Developing Research & Communication Skills: Guidelines for Information Literacy in the Curriculum published by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education in 2003, and also published in Assessing for Learning: Building a Sustainable Commitment Across the Institution, in 2004 by Dr. Peggy Maki, former Director of Assessment, American Association of Higher Education. It is based on the Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education published by the Association of College and Research Libraries in 2000.
Revisions have been made to the original version of the rubric after campus-wide feedback at NJCU. The latest version is also based on the above mentioned standards, but with a more specific and practical approach. The following examples of the latest version are listed to facilitate use at NJCU.

I waited and waited and naturally assumed that along with my great anticipation of turning The Great 16 there were certainly others anxiously waiting too. Pathetic, really. I guess I hadn't suffered enough disappointment in life yet to arrive at the conclusion that the world did not, in fact, revolve around me. I still believed that what happened in the movies was possible, which is why I avoided haunted houses at all costs and fantasized about a dreamy boy showing up in his sports car to save me on my birthday and kiss me through the window light over my birthday cake. Imagine my disappointment when November 24, 1986 finally arrived, my 16th birthday, and I sat in stunned silence on the stairs of my family home, alone and confused as to why the phone was not suddenly ringing off the hook. I was genuinely surprised that I hadn't corralled my first date on the exact day of my eligibility. Oh, how I want to take that 16-year-old girl and smack her right upside the head. She was kind of a dummy.
Now, that dummy is the parent. And today that dummy's baby girl turns 16. That girl has been given the same rule about dating, and she has respected it. She has used her 16 years here on the planet earth in brilliant fashion - unabashedly trying new things, facing setbacks head on, tackling challenges with determination - that girl impresses her mama. Regularly.
I used to hear mothers regale their birthing experiences with pride while conjuring phrases like, "As soon as I saw her I knew her and loved her." I expected to feel that, and of course I loved her instantly. But I didn't feel like I knew her. Instead as I held that little girl in my arms after she was born I felt like she was on loan; like God was giving me a chance. God was going to let me borrow her - He was trusting me with one of His very own and He was going to let me teach her, show her, love her, guide her. And then I would get to sit back and watch what she did with all that teaching, showing, loving and guiding. What a privilege. As it is, she hasn't really needed me much - I'm not being self deprecating here, just telling the truth. This girl - I have been getting to know her for a while now. I like her. A LOT. She's too smart to think the world is waiting for her to turn 16, and I guarantee she won't be spending the evening on the stairs waiting for the phone to ring. Eventually she will capture some boy's heart and I will officially roll into a fetal position and begin sucking my thumb. I do know one thing, whoever gets this girl is going to have to get past her mama first, and when they do...
...well, I'll try to be nice.
Happy Birthday baby girl.
