If he doesn't eat tonight I'll buy the original kind and hope he eats that. I tried the suggestion of putting some of the food like on his chin so he'll taste it. So far it doesn't seem like it matters. He just gets mad hah. If anyone wants to buy the barely used 3.0 from me let me know

In 1948 Richard C. Rudolph, chair of the UCLA Department of Oriental Languages -- now the Department of Asian Languages and Cultures -- traveled to China on a Fulbright grant to study archaeology and on a personal mission to purchase books to support the university's Chinese program. In the wake of the Communist takeover, Rudolph hurriedly combed through bookstores in Beijing and Chengdu for reference works, encyclopedias, and large collected works known as collectanea, all of them original wood-block-printed books. On his way home he bought more books in Japan. Rudolph purchased more than ten thousand volumes on this trip.
The Richard C. Rudolph East Asian Library was established in 1948 to support UCLA's teaching and research programs in East Asian studies. The library selects, organizes, and makes available Chinese-, Japanese-, and Korean-language materials, and its staff provides reference and instruction services to optimize access to and use of the collections.
The library's primary mission is to serve UCLA and University of California (UC) students, faculty, and staff. Its resources are available to others by special agreement and when it does not conflict with its primary mission. Library materials are also available to scholars at other institutions through interlibrary loans.
Reference services are provided from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday at the service desk in the reading room area. The library usually conducts orientation workshops during the fall and winter quarters and at any time upon request. These sessions provide an introduction to the library, the UCLA Library Catalog, and UC-wide Melvyl Catalog, and search strategies for each; electronic resources; and romanization schemes for the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean languages. Printed instructional materials are also available.

September 28, 2012
It is officially fall here in Decorah – the leaves are beginning to change, the temperatures are dropping, noses are sniffling, and parents are driving in to see how their kids are doing after their first month of a new year of college.
My parents drove in last Saturday for Parent's Weekend, and it was so nice to see them, especially after having such a hard week of exams and papers! After having lunch in the caf, my parents helped switch around a few things in my room and brought me to the co-op to stalk up my mini-fridge for the next few weeks. After getting some of these things off of our informal "to-do list", we made our way to Dunning Springs to look at the waterfall.
I hadn't seen Dunning Springs since my first week at Luther – I frequently run past the entrance of the park, but I have never taken the time to go back and see the waterfall in the daylight. Both my parents and I were thrilled that we had taken time out of our day to go see the waterfall. As we approached it, my mom kept saying "listen to how LOUD that water is!". She was right – closing my eyes and listening to the water allowed me to escape reality for a minute and just focus on nature and how peaceful it can be. Of course, when I opened my eyes, the view was equally spectacular - the leaves have begun to change, and the sunlight would hit the waterfall perfectly every few minutes, bringing the autumn colors to life as they reflected off of the water.
Although my brother graduated from Luther, it was the first time my parents had ever been to Dunning Springs. They were astonished to find out that something so beautiful was located so close to my dorm! This really reminded me of how much Luther and Decorah have to offer outside of the classroom. When looking at colleges, I was considering schools in Saint Paul and Sioux Falls and wondered if I could give up having the opportunities of a big city to attend college in small-town Iowa. However, I've been pleasantly surprised with the amount of things to do here: I'm always discovering new running paths, reading great reviews of local restaurants, and hearing other students talk about places they've gone and putting them on my list of places I'd like to visit.
Although I'm sure there will be times throughout my college career where I'll wish Luther were located in a more urban area, it's the times like visiting Dunning Springs with my family that make me appreciate the charm of living amongst the bluffs of upper Iowa. It's a great refreshment to get away from the confines of the classroom or the walls of my dorm room and to simply appreciate the beauty of the nature that surrounds me here at Luther.

Christina Cassano hopes to take her interest in political science to a new level in June when she takes part in a program aimed at encouraging Wisconsin women to take broader roles in policymaking and leadership.
Cassano, a Broad Field Social Studies major at UW-Superior, is among 25 college students in Wisconsin to be accepted to the 7th annual National Education for Women's Leadership Wisconsin program at Mount Mary College in Milwaukee. The program's goal isto educate, empower and encourage young women to take on public policy leadership roles and help develop the next generation of leaders.
"I have always been interested in political science in that I am interested in what is happening around me," said Cassano, who is from Superior. "However, until recently I have never been really active regarding any of my beliefs. I am hoping that the NEW Leadership Wisconsin program is not only going to help me learn how to become more active in a productive way, but also help me form deeper connections."
"As a future Social Studies teacher I think it is imperative that I have a better understanding of how our system works and to show by example that people, women especially, can make a difference," she added.
NEW Leadership Wisconsin is part of a national network of programs created by the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University. The purpose of the program is to create an understanding of the role public policy plays in peoples' lives and careers, and to take the mystery out of running for office or other leadership positions.
Participants are given an opportunity to meet outstanding leaders in public policy and politics and learn public leadership skills through an innovative curriculum. The program also presents information about current issues and supports women as they practice issue analysis, leadership skills, public speaking and advocacy skills that can be applied in a variety of settings and for multiple purposes.
Cassano was nominated for the program by Dr. Alisa Von Hagel, assistant professor of political science at UW-Superior
"I felt Christina would very much benefit from the program," Von Hagel said. "She's a very engaged student in and out of the classroom, so I think she'll have lot to not only share but also to learn from other people in the program."
Von Hagel said she hopes to recommend more students for the program in the future.

Ship(s): Sea Spirit
Trip Highlights:
See the incredible wildlife of South Georgia and and explore the world's seventh continent on the Antarctic Peninsula.
Summary: This is a journey for wildlife lovers, particularly those with a passion for penguins. The wildlife paradise of South Georgia starts things off with four penguin species including hundreds of thousands of king penguins, then the Antarctic Peninsula offers up Adelie, gentoo and chinstrap penguins. You'll also experience a great diversity of environments and landscapes, creating a special extended Antarctic experience.
The Tierra del Fuego archipelago is home to Ushuaia, at the southern tip of Patagonia. This scenic nature lover's playground has plenty of hiking trails to explore if you need to escape from all the tasty treats on offer at the many bakeries, shops, cafes and restaurants in town.
Day 2: Embarkation Day
This is a day for introductions and getting acquainted with your ship. Meet your fellow shipmates, be introduced to your Expedition Team and snap a few photographs of Ushuaia as you head to sea.
Days 3 - 4: At Sea
Your Expedition Team will treat you to a number of fun and informative lectures during your time at sea. Reaching the Antarctic Convergence is your first taste of what makes polar travel special. Here, the cold Antarctic waters meet and mix with the warmer waters of the Indian, Pacific and Atlantic oceans, creating the abundance of marine life that attracts whales and other species to this part of the world.
Days 5 - 8: South Georgia
Once ruled by sealers and whalers, things have changed greatly on South Georgia. The once exploited and nearly vanquished seal and whale populations are now thriving. Penguins abound here as well, with four different species to be on the lookout for.
The king penguins are impossible to miss, as their rookeries here number into the hundreds of thousands! Often referred to as the Galapagos of the Poles, South Georgia contains an exceptional quantity of wildlife. Each landing you make on South Georgia will open your eyes to a new wonder of wildlife, including the odd elephant seal.
A significant and historic site of interest is the grave of the great explorer, Sir Ernest Shackleton. You can visit his grave at the settlement of Grytviken, which is also home to an old whaling station, museum and a small gift shop, church and scientific research station.
Days 9 - 10: At Sea
Your next destination is Antarctica! In between presentations on the wildlife, history and geology of Antarctica, you can spend time chatting with your shipmates over a drink at the bar. If conditions allow, you may attempt landfall on the South Orkney Islands, which are officially in Antarctica.
Days 11 - 14: South Shetland Islands and Antarctic Peninsula
Arriving in Antarctica is often a surprisingly emotional moment. The general reaction is a sense of reverence and awe. No other place on earth is like Antarctica, which is a land of extremes. Complete silence in the middle of the day is something most are unaccustomed to in busy lives, so Antarctica puts many people into a contemplative mood. But soon, a calving glacier may break the silence or a penguin waddles by to inspect your footwear.
Trekking up a glacier, visiting a research station or going on a Zodiac cruise amongst massive icebergs will become daily activities. Soon you will know the difference between Weddell, fur, crabeater and leopard seals, which are all found in this part of Antarctica. Curious whales, such as minkes, are often attracted to Zodiacs as well, giving you a chance to get close to these majestic animals.
Every journey is full of surprises, even for the experienced Expedition Team, which means your journey will be unlike any before, or after it. This is untamed, unscripted nature at its best!
Days 15 - 16: Crossing the Drake Passage
The ship turns northward towards home. Crossing the Drake Passage is considered a rite of passage, completing your Antarctic adventure.
Enjoy some final moments mingling with your fellow travelers or listening to the expedition recaps from your Expedition Team.
Day 17: Ushuaia, Argentina
After a final breakfast together, it is time to part ways. Transfer to the airport for your homeward flight.

The book exchange is sponsored by the Professional Accounting Society and will be open until today at noon. Committee debates teacher evaluation availability to WSU students, faculty By ERIC MORROW SIGNPOST govt, affairs editor After lengthy, careful debate, an ad-hoc committee comprised of faculty and students moved closer to a resolution concerning student access to previous students' evaluations of faculty. Some members of the committee, who recently attended a conference in San Francisco entitled "Developing a Comprehensive Faculty Evaluation System," returned with numerous ideas concerning the reassessment of faculty evalua tion methods currently in use. While addressing the issue of public availability of faculty evaluations, committee members were forced to debate the potential violation of instructors' privacy and confidentiality. Dr. Frank Guliuzza expressed serious concern with the privacy issue. Guliuzza compared the faculty rating scale to a student grading system. Then he argued that since students' grades are confidential, instructors' evaluations should also remain confidential. "It makes sense to suggest that if students have a right to keep their grades under wraps the faculty s ho u 1 d recei vethesamecour-tesy from the university, " Guliuzza said. Some disagree with Benally art pieces Attention received by performances upset other Native American students By MARK FORSBERG Signpost news editor The attention Curtis Benally's performance art pieces call to Native American culture is not considered good by most Native American students, said Jeffrey Simons, Native American counselor.At least 30 percent of Weber State University's students are Navajo, like Benally, and most "don't have good feelings" about Benally's work, Simons said. Some have commented to him that the performanceart pieces were weird Hesaid the performance art pieces could give students the wrong impression about Native Americans."When that's all some of the students ever see, some could conclude that's what Native T k IK - X CURTIS BENALLY performs an art piece that angered many other Native Americans. American's do," he said. "It's helping Curtis, but not the rest of us." Simons said the Native American Counsel (NAC) will have to take a stance on the work it supports, so students don't get the wrong ideas about Native Americans. If Benally does another piece, he said, the NAC will screen it, although it can't censor any of Native American Student Randy Boucher, who wrote a letter to the editor in Monday's edition of The Signpost criticizing Benally's performance, complained about Benally's use of tribal ceremonies, which many Native Americans consider sacred. He said Benally's latest performance was a take-off of the Sundance ceremony and was offensive to many Native Americans. "It would be like going in a sacred temple ceremony of the LDS church a nd ta ki ng pictures," he said. "There are certain ceremonies that you just don't talk about." He said Native American students will take some sort of action to prevent future performances.Benally said his performances are not depictions of particular Native American ritualsbuta tribute to the tribes or nations he represents. He said he intends to portray more than his own tribe. "There was not a Sundance going on there, none of the songs or words spoken were from the ritual," hesaid. "I stay away from specific rituals." He said he tries to convey the (See Benally page 2) "It makes sense to suggest that if students have a right to keep their grades underwraps the faculty should receive the same courtesy from the university." - Frank Guliuzza ASWSU President, Melinda Roylance proposed an additional evaluation form to be attached to current faculty evaluation forms. This new form, composed of six questions , would be made available to students to be completed. Then the distributive results would be revealed to the public rather than a mean score to a void potential student bias. Roylance believes that allowing student access will improve the students' opportunities to learn, and improve the quality of instructional the university. "Our bottom-line interest is in obtaining the most positive learning experience for our tuition dollar that is possible," she said. The committee plans to send the proposal to the Faculty Senate for approval as an individual voluntary pilot study for general education classes as soon as the rating form's questions are acceptable to committee members.

|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

Stormtroopers, considered to be the most menacing army of Darth Vader, are equipped with deadly lazer-shooting guns and shiny white armour, and are supposedly smart and well-equipped to do their job, yet entering a door isnﻗt a part of their skill. This classy scene shows how a Stormtrooper hits his head on a door frame and stumbles back, only to regain his posture and move ahead.

text: Chapter 3. Characteristics of Participating Hospitals 2010 User Comparative Database As background for understanding the survey results, this chapter presents information about the distribution of database hospitals by bed size, teaching status, ownership and control, and geographic region. Although the hospitals that voluntarily submitted data to the database do not constitute a statistically selected sample, the characteristics of these hospitals are fairly consistent with the distribution of U.S. hospitals registered with the American Hospital Association (AHA). The characteristics of database hospitals by AHA-defined categories of bed size, teaching status, ownership and control, and geographic region are presented in the following tables.1 Database hospitals and survey respondents are described, as well as the distribution of U.S. AHA-registered hospitals included in the 2006 AHA Annual Survey of Hospitals.2 Highlights Participating hospitals represent a range of bed sizes and geographic regions. Most hospitals are non-teaching (68 percent) and non-government owned (voluntary/nonprofit or proprietary/investor owned) (81 percent). Overall, the characteristics of the 885 database hospitals are fairly consistent with the distribution of U.S. hospitals registered with the American Hospital Association. Return to Contents Bed Size Table 3-1 shows the distribution of database hospitals and respondents by hospital bed size. Overall, the distribution of database hospitals by bed size is similar to the distribution of AHA-registered U.S. hospitals. The largest group of database hospitals (21 percent) falls into the bed size category of 100 to 199 beds. Most of the database hospitals (64 percent) have fewer than 200 beds, which is similar to the percentage of AHA-registered U.S. hospitals (74 percent). It is important to note that while smaller hospitals are more prevalent in the database, they account for fewer respondents than larger hospitals.

its more likely than you think.
cleaned my old room & found a Barbie that I mummified when I was 4..dont tell me i was the only one that did that shit.
i hate it when im still on the seat & the sensor activated toilet flushers just decide to go off like i wasn't done yet you little piece of shit.
Im pretty sure at one point in our lives, we were all obsessed with this song.
Sometimes when im feeling down or lonely, i like to look up towards the sky because staring at the clouds and open space calms me down. it gives me a strange sense of hope, like just knowing there's a place outside of where i am right now. There's hope and happiness out there so i never give up. I just look up at the sky & hope for the best.

Three men have been charged for allegedly robbing a Mundelein grocery store last month.
Two men -- wearing ski masks and brandishing handguns -- entered the Supermercado Vargas Grocery in the 800 block of Lake Street in Mundelein about 9:50 a.m. Aug. 9 and demanded money, which the owners handed over, police said. They then fled the store on foot.
Nobody was injured in the robbery, police said.
DNA evidence led police to the suspects and a search warrant executed in the 300 block of Willow Drive in Round Lake Park on Aug. 31 led to the discovery of evidence linking the suspects to the robbery and narcotics, police said.
Christian Romero-Nuno, 21, Jose L. Morales, 23, were each charged with one count of felony aggravated robbery, police said. Romero-Nuno, of the 1600 block of Grove Street in Round Lake Beach, was also charged with felony aggravated assault and Morales, of the 300 block of Willow Drive in Round Lake Park, was also charged with felony aggravated assault, felony marijuana possession with intent to deliver and possession of ammunition without a Firearm Owner Identification card.
A third man, 31-year-old Jesus R. Llano, also of the 300 block of Willow Drive in Round Lake Park, was charged with felony aggravated robbery for helping to plan the robbery and felony marijuana possession with intent to deliver and possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver, police said.

Over the past decade, stepped-up environmental initiatives have led to increased federal regulation of utilities, presenting challenges for metal producers whose core business relies on a steady supply of electricity. In response to these policies, as well as increased pressure from international competition, mills and the associations that represent them have taken a two-pronged approach to securing their access to affordable, uninterrupted electricity: advocating for federal policy reform, and working to develop new technologies designed to reduce reliance on utilities.
Brett Smith, senior director of government relations at the American Iron and Steel Institute, said that the steel industry has increased its efforts to advocate for policies that would ensure a reliable supply of affordable electricity. These efforts, Smith said, have become increasingly difficult to advocate, largely because of new emissions standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency for domestic utility companies. The EPA is in a position now of either proposing or currently regulating the utilities themselves for their emissionsÑwhether those emissions fall under the Utility MACT (maximum achievable control technology) regulation or the Cross State Air Pollution Rule, he said. Those regulations and the cost of those regulations and the risks associated with them are oftentimes, if not always, passed on to the large industrial customers like steel facilities.

- Setting the Record Straight on Aroldis Chapman
Setting the Record Straight on Aroldis Chapman
by Peter C. Bjarkman
January 11, 2010
One of todays wire service stories (
) reporting on the Cincinnati Reds signing of Cuban phenom pitcher Aroldis Chapman has questioned my own doubting of Chapmans prospects, especially in the light of the $30 million windfall now being thrown at the 22-year-old former Holguín fast-baller. The exact final passage in that article reads as follows:
The 6-foot-4 Chapman, whose abilities have been questioned by Cuban baseball sports writer Peter Bjarkman, impressed major league officials with his front-of-the rotation stuff that includes a triple digit fastball, a dangerous slider, and an above-average changeup.
It would perhaps be helpful here to set the récord straight with my actual assessments of Chapmans big-league prospects. I have never claimed in the past and will not claim now that the talent and hard-throwing southpaw may not eventually succeed in the top professional arena. What I have questioned, however, is Chapmans known work ethic, his subpar pitching intelligence and versatility, and also his actual status within Cuban League baseball. Is Aroldis Chapman a potential big leaguer? He may well be. Is he worth the $90 million his original agent claimed that he merited, or even the eventual $30 million he has now corralled? Probably he is not. I do not claim to have a crystal ball. I do not have the trained eye of the big league scouting director. But I do know something about the recent past history of Cuban League baseball and its many talented performers.
All the following points need to be reiterated here:
1. Chapman did not improved much during his final three Cuban League seasonsdespite a sensational arm and occasional big strikeout numbersand at the time of his departure he was neither the best pitcher on the island nor (as frequently hyped) the hottest-ever prospect to abandon his homeland for a crack at a big professional paycheck. As a complete pitcher (and not just a thrower) Chapman is not at all in the same class with current Cuban aces Pedro Lazo, Norge Vera, Maikel Folch, Yulieski González, Miguel Alfredo González, Freddy Asiel Alvarez, or a handful of others. Nor is he the second coming of either Orlando Hernández or José Ariel Contreras.
2. Chapman may well overcome his motivational problems and thus improve under MLB coaching in a way that he did not in Cuba. Kendry Morales was also a very large risk (plagued by a similar questionable work ethic) when he left the Cuban League back in 2003; but Morales has demonstrated across a half-dozen seasons in the Anaheim Angels organization that surprising transformations are indeed possible.
3. Chapman is certainly more of a genuine prospect than 20-year-old Noel Arguelles, whose slick agents recently milked a $7 million, five year contract from the risk-prone Kansas City Royals. But that speaks more to the folly in Kansas City than to any wisdom in Cincinnati. A one-time junior national team ace, Arguelles had no real success at all in the Cuban League, despite laboring with one of that circuits best clubs in Habana Province (last seasons league champions). There he was buried behind the top starters on one of the National Series top mound corps (Yulieski González, Yadier Pedroso, Jonder Martínez, and Miguel Angel González) and thus never enjoyed the same chance to impress he might get with the pitching-thin Royals. In Cuba, nonetheless, Arguelles suffered from a debilitating walks/Ks ratio (49/40 over two seasons) and was never in the picture when it came to the senior national team. At least Chapman can boast a smattering of heavy-duty international tournament experience.
4. Chapman was never actually an ace on the Cuban national team as has often been reported. At the time of his defection last July in Rotterdam he was actually a member of a Cuba B squad competing in that citys World Port Tournament and would most likely not have been included in the top-echelon Cuban mound corps for the upcoming European-based World Cup event last September. He did indeed display all-too-brief brilliance at the 2007 World Cup matches in Taiwan, but one of his dominate outings there was against a watered-down and quite disappointing Japanese roster unequal to most Nippon teams. The following summer Chapman pitched himself off Cubas roster for the Beijing Olympics with an unimpressive series of outings at the June 2008 José Huelga Tournament in Havana (a trial run for the islands Olympic selection). And he was also far short of overpowering during his pair of WBC II outings versus both Australia (Mexico City) and Japan (San Diego) last March.
5. In Chapmans defense, on the other hand, it is well worth remembering that over the past decade-plus the most successful refugee Cuban pitchers in the big leagues have never been the islands true top performers. A large part of the reason is simply that Cubas true aceslike Lázaro Valle, Norge Vera, Pedro Lazo and company have rarely if ever left their homeland. But the cases of MLB head-turners Liván Hernández, Orlando Hernández and José Contreras are also instructive here. Liván (perhaps the most successful Cuban Leaguer once he reached the majors) departed the island as a youngster with only three National Series campaigns under his belt and only a brief national team trial. Contreras was admittedly a brilliant national team ace (with an unblemished 13-0 international récord), but he was not in turn the top workhorse for his own league team in Pinar del Río (that was Pedro Lazo). El Duque Hernández, for his part, was occasionally brilliant as a big leaguer and does admittedly own the best lifetime won-lost percentage in Cuban League annals (if largely because he left after but ten seasons; Norge Luis Vera has since maintained a nearly identical mark through 15 campaigns). But most Cuban observers contend that Lázaro Valle was the true Cuban ace of the same era. El Duque was never one of the top three national team starters, rarely started big international games against the likes of Japan, Korea or Taipei, and never again took the hill against a major international rival after a disastrous outing versus Team USA during the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. My only point here is precisely that some marquee pitchers with less than brilliant Cuban resumes after achieved considerable success on MLB clubs. That fact alone may give hope to Chapmans ardent supporters. For the sake of truth in advertising, then, let me quote here exactly what I wrote about Chapman last July at the time of his escape from the Cuban contingent in Rotterdam. These two paragraphs were written during my coverage of the World Port Tournament in Rotterdam for
. Readers desiring to return to that entire original article will find it available at the following link:
Chapman remains a considerable mystery and his future in North American professional baseball is not easy to predict. The 21-year-old Holguín lefty has opted to trade potential gold medals for designer golden neck bracelets and a huge bank accountthat much is certain. But will he become the next José Contreras or the next Maels Rodríguez? Contreras, of course, had accomplished far more in both international and domestic play by the time he abandoned the island back in 2003 while touring in Mexico. Rodríguez broke every imaginable strikeout récord on the island before suffering an unfortunate arm injury that ruined his pro prospects even before his own departure later that same year. Chapman definitely has his negatives, foremost among them a demonstrated lack of strike-zone control, a one-pitch arsenal, and an inconsistent Cuban League performance over four National Series campaigns. Hurling for a Holguín club that made this years post-season and has been largely a middle-of-the-pack outfit during Chapmans tenure, the southpaw flame thrower has won only slightly more than half his decisions (24-21), though he did enjoy his best season (11-4 and a league-best 130 Ks in 118 innings) this past winter. He has twice topped the 100 K mark but never approached Maelss récord-setting standards. Chapman is definitely more a raw thrower than a savvy pitcher and numerous questions surround his abilities to master the finer details of his craft. But Aroldis Chapman has definitely already displayed one easily definable characteristic of a true major leaguer: by abandoning his teammates on the eve of an important international tournament (and thus leaving the squad short of starting pitchers) he has dramatically signaled that personal career advancement for him far outweighs any ball club loyalties. He is only the most recent poster child for rampant baseball free agency.
Chapmans récordmore so than that of Maels Rodríguez a few years backwas largely one of brief moments of brilliant potential rather than one of any truly noteworthy récord-book feats. Chapman enjoyed one great game in international play as a 19-year-old (during the 2007 World Cup semifinals versus Japan) but never quite returned to that stellar form. His Cuban League récord had some noteworthy features (379 Ks in 341 innings) but was on the whole disappointing (210 walks over the same span, only one career shutout, a lofty 3.72 ERA, an 0-2 post-season récord, only one winning season in four tries). Chapman pitched badly enough in last summers José Huelga Tournament in Havana to play himself off the Cuban Olympic roster, and while his fastball drew attention in two outings at the recent WBC, he was hardly dominant against either the Australians or the Japanese. The bottom line is that Chapman has great potential and could well end up in a major league uniform. Certainly he will hold up some big league franchise for millions in signing bonuses and thus enrich both himself and some opportunistic player agent. But the jury is still out (and likely will be until at least September) regarding how badly this departure might actually damage Cuban national team prospects. The full impact of Chapmans loss is especially open to question given what has transpired on the playing field at Neptunus Family Stadium in slightly more than 48 hours since his departure.
Little more needs be said at this point. As they say so often in Cuba, el terreno va a decidir el juego. MLB spring training lies only around the corner. Then and only then will be begin to see who is right and who is wrong on this one.

When I first saw this press release, I thought: Wow. Gavin Newsom realizes that there's a $250 million budget deficit, and he's actually trying to do something about it. We tax cigarettes because they're unhealthy, why not tax carbon emissions, which are killing the planet -- and raise a little money in the process?

Aetna's plan to avoid Obamacare for 1 more year
By getting its brokers to renew clients by year-end 2013, the insurer can put off the new mandates until nearly 2015.
Insurance giant Aetna (AET) is urging its brokers to think ahead in order to avoid the mandates that will go into effect next year with Obamacare.
Aetna is encouraging its brokers to use the "premium savings program," which would re-enroll clients at the end of 2013, carrying over into 2014 when the Affordable Care Act goes into effect, reports the Huffington Post.
"By electing a fourth quarter 2013 renewal, some of your clients can achieve significant cost savings in 2014 and take time to assess their business needs for the future, without sacrificing their current coverage today," Aetna wrote in an email to its brokers.
Aetna's push to get clients to sidestep Obamacare comes amid research indicating that, for many, health-care premiums will rise in 2014. That's because underlying claims costs are projected to jump by one-third across the U.S. when the law goes into effect next year, as reported by MSN moneyNOW last month.
Some states will be hit harder than others, with the biggest increases seen Ohio and California, according to a study from the Society of Actuaries. Aetna flagged potential rate increases as one reason brokers should enroll their clients by the end of 2013.
"In 2014, changes set in motion by the Affordable Care Act (ACA) may lead to dramatic increases in premiums," the company said in the email.
Other insurers are considering the strategy, which would take advantage of a loophole that lets health insurers re-enroll clients for almost all of 2014, according to the Los Angeles Times.
"Insurers are onto this, and the big question is how many will try to game the system," Washington and Lee University law professor Timothy Stoltzfus Jost told the newspaper.
Aetna was among the health insurers that opposed the ACA, the Huffington Post notes, giving millions to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the American Action Network to fight against the legislation.
So when do we want to demand that Health Insurance Companies are changed back to "NOT FOR PROFIT COMPANIES". Prior to 1980 insurance companies and hospitals were NOT FOR PROFIT entities (our lives were not to be held out for a profit) and believe it or not life was good, dad was the bread winner, mom stayed home and raised the kids, etc., etc., etc..
When the Health Insurance Companies were NOT FOR PROFIT they were surprisingly quite successful. Believe it or not, premiums were affordable, coverage covered everything (including mental health), pre-existing conditions were not an issue, doctors made house calls, companies could afford to provide health insurance to all employees either for free or for just pennies per month.
Fast forward to the 80's and GREED TOOK OVER IN THE HEALTH INDUSTRY (AND EVERYTHING ELSE IN OUR SOCIETY).
I'm not sure how that's considered "gaming the system." If you knew that your water bill was going to increase by 40% or more, but could lock in your current rate for an extra year, wouldn't you?
The fact is, ObamaCare is going to raise costs. Period. Insurance companies and self-insured employers CAN'T just eat that cost and stay in business.
ObamaCare needs to be overhauled to address the real issues of rising medical costs: capping prescription drug costs, re-evaluating Medicare/Medicaid payouts, tort reform, etc. Simply redistributing who is going to pay is not going to reduce costs.
Wake up America, how many employers have you seen on here talk about cutting a majority of their full time employees hours so they will now be part-time so they don't have to get their employees expensive Obama Care Health Insurance. Well now everyone can get insurance and we all can help pay for it again. I hope you like him now. One of the worst presidents we ever had? So when is he going to start trying to create jobs and put people back to work instead of just working on his legacy Obama care. Nothing but broken promises and lies. Hope we can make it till the end of his term.
You thought Greece was bad, we are headed for the same, to many entitlements.
I would wish for the premiums to eventually level off and go down, but ....that never happens.
IF there is any money 'left over' in the health insurance part, the gov't will 'borrow' it just like they did for Social Security -
My choices in about 10 years are ....no home or food, but I'm fully insured...or no insurance, but I got a place to live and I'll just not eat to pay the tax for not carrying insurance I can't afford....
The costs of healthcare goes up because we allow the insurance companies and lawyers to be greedy, and congress gets lots of money from industry lobbists to help fuel the fire.
If we completely did away with insurance companies and frivolous law suits the costs of healthcare would decrease substantially.
What everybody either doesn't understand or doesn't know is that we (the tax paying citizens) already pay for everyones healthcare. If someone goes to the ER for services and can't afford to pay the bill or has no insurance who do you think pays the bill? The tax payer! So since we do this anyway does it not seem fair that the ones that do not have some form of health insurance coverage aid in paying the system back?
We as humans put to much stock in BS propaganda that is put out to scare us of the unknown and don't bother to find out the facts for ourselves.

Between Snooki's shocking pregnancy and the Situation entering rehab, the Jersey Shore drama is is full swing, even though MTV's cameras aren't rolling. We caught up with Vinny Guadagnino at the GLAAD Media Awards and got an update on what's really going on with his castmates.
Despite concerns that Nicole Polizzi would have a hard time giving up her hard-partying lifestyle, Guadagnino says she's taken to pregnancy well. ""She's awesome. It's changed her whole life,"" he tells Hollywood.com. ""She doesn't drink any more, she's getting ready to be a mom!"" This summer Polizzi will join the rest of the gang back at the shore house to film season six, and Guadagnino says he doesn't know how having the mom-to-be in tow will affect the dynamic. ""I've never been around a pregnant woman before!"" he laughed, ""But however it is we'll make the best out of it.""
And what about Mike Sorrentino's rehab stint? When asked if he had a problem while filming the show, Guadagnino said, ""No, I don't really think so. If he did I didn't know,"" adding that he wishes him well.
Guadagnino is keeping busy too, though the changes in his life have been less dramatic. In addition to taking acting classes, he just released the book Control the Crazy: My Plan to Stop Stressing, Avoid Drama, and Maintain Inner Cool, and is starting to think about life after Jersey Shore. ""I just want to spread my career off into as many different things as I can,"" he said. ""I'm a creative person. I like to write, I wrote a book. I like to act, I've been on scripted shows. I like MTV so maybe I could do something with them. I just want to keep it going and work on something they love.""

Layton said the meter is tied to the surrounding city buildings and landscaping. Merrill Oveson, Layton's account manager, said once the pool is filled, water is filtered and recycled.
"So there will be very little water usage," Overson said.
Three water parks at a glance
Layton » Surf N' Swim, 465 N. Wasatch Drive. It earns $480,000 in tickets and concessions, and requires almost the same amount every year from the city's general fund.
Clearfield » Aquatic Center, 825 S. State St. The city annually pays $125,000 from the general fund and makes an $805,920 bond payment.
North Ogden » North Shore Aquatic Center, 245 E. 2550 North. The city gave the center about $4,000 in fiscal year 2012 and is paying about $200,000 a year for a bond.

North Ogden Assistant Park Facility Maintenance Supervisor Ken Young said the city doesn't charge itself for water, using the analogy of charging yourself to eat at your own home. He did concede that taxpayers pay for the water but could not give a dollar figure.Clearfield Community Services Director Eric Howes said the cost for water comes out of the public works department enterprise fund.
Even if the parks don't receive a water bill, other costs have Layton resident Chris Crowder, a former candidate for Utah House of Representatives, saying that cities should not be involved in entertainment services such as a water park.
"Those should be privately ran businesses," Crowder said, "and the government should provide just necessary services."

A Cape Cod man was charged with attempting to burn a building after he was identified as the culprit who tried to torch a Brazilian restaurant in Hyannis, and then later threw a brick through the restaurant's window, police said.
Lucas B. Penna, 43, is slated to be arraigned in Barnstable District Court today on charges of attempting to burn a building, willful injury to a building, and possession of an infernal machine, a Molotov cocktail. Penna is a national of Brazil who is living in the United States on a visa, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement has now placed a detainer for his arrest, for possible deportation, authorities said.

Microsoft's Windows 8 dominated countless headlines in the weeks leading up to its launch late last month, but October saw the debut of another major operating system as well.
Canonical's Ubuntu 12.10 "Quantal Quetzal" arrived a week ahead of its competitor, in fact, accompanied by a challenge: "Avoid the pain of Windows 8." That slogan appeared on the Ubuntu home page for the first few hours after the OS's official launch, and attracted considerable attention.
[ Check out InfoWorld's Windows 8 review: Yes, it's that bad. | Windows 8 is here, and InfoWorld covers Microsoft's new direction, the touch interface for tablet and desktop apps, the transition from Windows 7, and more in the Windows 8 Deep Dive PDF special report. | Stay atop key Microsoft technologies in our Technology: Microsoft newsletter. | And prove your expertise with the free OS in InfoWorld's Linux admin IQ test round 1 and round 2. | Track the latest trends in open source with InfoWorld's Open Sources blog and Technology: Open Source newsletter. ]
Apparently Canonical decided to tone down its message later in the daythe slogan now reads "Your wish is our command"but it seems fair to say that the underlying challenge remains.
Window of opportunity
Ubuntu is a widely popular open-source Linux distribution with eight years of maturity under its belt, and more than 20 million users. Of the roughly 5 percent of desktop OSs accounted for by Linux, at least one survey suggests that about half are Ubuntu. (Windows, meanwhile, accounts for about 84 percent.)
The timing of this latest Ubuntu release couldn't be better for Windows users faced with the paradigm-busting Windows 8 and the big decision of whether to take the plunge.
Initial uptake of Windows 8 has been unenthusiastic, according to reports, and a full 80 percent of businesses will never adopt it, Gartner predicts. As a result, Microsoft's big gamble may be desktop Linux's big opportunity.
So, now that Canonical has thrown down the gauntlet, let's take a closer look at Ubuntu 12.10 to see how it compares with Windows 8 from a business user's perspective.

4 Stocks Under $10 Making Big Moves
WINDERMERE, Fla. ( Stockpickr) -- At Stockpickr, we track daily portfolios of stocks that are the biggest percentage gainers and the biggest percentage losers.
Stocks that are making large moves like these are favorites among short-term traders because they can jump into these names and try to capture some of that massive volatility. Stocks that are making big-percentage moves either up or down are usually in play because their sector is becoming attractive or they have a major fundamental catalyst such as a recent earnings release. Sometimes stocks making big moves have been hit with an analyst upgrade or an analyst downgrade.
>>5 Hated Earnings Stocks That Deserve Your Love
Regardless of the reason behind it, when a stock makes a large-percentage move, it is often just the start of a new major trend -- a trend that can lead to huge profits. If you time your trade correctly, combining technical indicators with fundamental trends, discipline and sound money management, you will be well on your way to investment success.With that in mind, let's take a closer look at a several stocks under $10 that are making large moves to the upside today. >>5 Stocks Poised for Breakouts ClearSign Combustion ClearSign Combustion (CLIR) designs, develops and markets technologies that aim to improve key performance characteristics of combustion systems including energy efficiency, emissions control, fuel flexibility and overall cost effectiveness. This stock is trading up 12.9% to $7.79 in recent trading. Today's Range: $6.93-$7.82 52-Week Range: $4.00-$9.75 Volume: 344,000 Three-Month Average Volume: 66,915 From a technical perspective, CLIR is ripping higher here and breaking out above some near-term overhead resistance levels at $7.28 to $7.51 with above-average volume. At last check, CLIR has tagged an intraday high of $7.82 and volume is well above its three-month average action of 66,915 shares. Traders should now look for long-biased trades in CLIR as long as it's trending above $7.28 and then once it sustains a move or close above $7.51 to $7.82 with volume that hits near or above 66,915 shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then CLIR will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance levels at $8.75 to $9.75. Entravision Communications

Date Reviewed: March 21, 2014
Strengths: This is a fantastic bike. I have had it for around 2 years. I had a Specialized prior but this by far is much better. It is great a climbing hills and jams on the downhill.
Weaknesses: I have had no issues with this bike
Bottom Line:
Date Reviewed: June 24, 2011
Strengths: Fit and finish of bike is pretty good. I kinda like it that it is a seldom-seen brand in my area. For 2011 the 29'er has a low-end Suntour fork which I think is a better product than Dart 1. I really like the hydraulic lockout which also functions as a variable compression damper.
Weaknesses: Gruppo is about average for price point...and some marques can be had for a little less for the same equipment level. Avid bb5 brakes are adequate for an old fart like me, but a younger, faster rider would probably soon find them lacking.
Bottom Line:
Expand full review >>
Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month
Price Paid: $750.00
Purchased At: Local bike shop
Similar Products Used: Nothing recent, nothing in 29", nothing with any kind of disc brakes.
Bike Setup: Standard factor parts so far. When fork goes south that will go, and I am considering different seats. The loaners I've tried so far aren't any better than the plain-vanilla seat bike came with.
