CHICAGO -- The idea of a Carlos Zambrano-free rotation being too good to break up is sounding as prudent as a bank being too big to fail. Or, as it turns out, Carlos Silva being too big to win.
After Randy Wells gave up five runs on six straight hits in the first inning before getting pulled, he's looking like just as good a candidate as left-hander Tom Gorzelanny to go into the bullpen for a spell. Silva pitches Saturday, so the natural question is: When will his perfect record be marred? Maybe by the third inning.
The Chicago Cubs lost 7-1 on Friday to start their first series of the year against the hated St. Louis Cardinals, and it was over before it began. Wells threw 16 pitches but couldn't get an out, making him the first Cubs starter to get pulled like that since the late Geremi Gonzalez on April 2, 1998.
"Like baseball guys used to say, I just got ambushed today," Wells said. "Six straight hits and I only threw 15 pitches, I think. There's not a whole lot to say. I'm pretty embarrassed. I had a lot of family and friends watching. It's not the way you want to start a series against a team like St. Louis."
Wells' day went like this: single to left-center, double to left, single up the middle, single past second base, single past second base, double to right. It was uglier than, well, a White Sox game.
"He only threw 16 pitches, but boy, they used the whole field," manager Lou Piniella said.
Piniella said this outing shouldn't affect his decision on whom to demote to the bullpen (if no trades are consummated) when Zambrano returns to the rotation next week (barring any stomach ailments, like the one that sent him to the hospital Thursday). Zambrano pitched one inning of relief Friday.
"I don't think it'll have any bearing at all," Piniella said quietly.
Wells is 0-3 with a 6.48 ERA in five May starts, after finishing April 3-0 with a 3.45 ERA. Gorzelanny has a 4.55 ERA this month and has given up 34 hits and 13 walks in 29 2/3 innings, giving him a 1.58 WHIP. He was 0-3 in April with a 2.45 ERA and a 1.05 WHIP.
Maybe Gorzelanny goes to the bullpen too, taking fellow lefty ex-Pirate John Grabow's job. Grabow gave up a two-run homer in the ninth and has allowed four walks and five earned runs in his last 3 1/3 innings. Young Andrew Cashner could always eschew his bullpen conversion in Triple-A to start in Chicago.
Many figure Cashner will be up at some point soon. Certainly the play of fellow rookies Starlin Castro and Tyler Colvin augur well for the farm system's success rate this year. Colvin hit his fifth homer of the year, a pinch-hit shot to right in the fifth inning. Piniella said Colvin is forcing himself into the lineup. He had an RBI double after coming in as a defensive replacement in the Cubs' 1-0 win over the Dodgers on Thursday.
"This kid here is telling me, 'Look, put my name in the lineup a few more times,'" Piniella said.
To a man the Cubs will say this series is as important as any other. For a team struggling to get back to .500, that's a smart tack. But Cubs-Cardinals has significant meaning, because the Cubs are chasing St. Louis and Cincinnati.
The Cubs had beaten St. Louis in the season series four straight times until last season. St. Louis has won the first game of the
series four consecutive times. The Cardinals have had their share of problems this year, just like the Cubs, but are now 28-21 and five games ahead of Chicago in the division.
Saturday's game is being nationally broadcast on Fox, but for many Chicagoans, its importance on the sporting scene is easily
As the spotlight moves to the Chicago Blackhawks, who host the first game of the Stanley Cup finals Saturday night, the Cubs could use a
winning streak to drum up interest and fill the 2,000 or so empty seats. The Cubs are drawing well by anybody's standards, except perhaps their own. They averaged 34,815 for a weekday series against Los Angeles. That's a W for the White Sox and a tough L for the Cubs.
Friday's game, played in near-perfect conditions at the start of a holiday weekend, drew an announced crowd of 39,536, which was
1,800 shy of the season-high 41,336 which came May 15. (Wrigley Field's official capacity is 41,210.) The Cubs were seventh in baseball in average attendance at 38,103, nothing to sneeze at with Chicago's fluky spring weather. Last year they finished sixth at 39,610.
Of course, attendance among their peers isn't the issue. The Cubs can never lead the majors because Wrigley Field is
too small. But in 2008, they filled 99 percent of the seats. Last year, the number was 96.3. This year, and it's early, that number is at 92.7. Increased prices surely don't help, but an unexciting, uneven baseball team is the real culprit. April is a cruel month for attendance, but it's something to keep your eye on through July.
These weekend games should be easy sellouts, as will the team's next home series against the White Sox next weekend. In attendance were some important people, like chairman Tom Ricketts, who sat in his front-row seat to catch this snoozer. At least he got some sun.
His sister Laura was spotted in the parking lot with her newborn baby girl Audrey, who got an early, but historically accurate,
start on life as a Cubs fan. The whole family is expected over the weekend.
So you've got the Cubs' biggest rival and the ownership group in town for a Memorial Day weekend tilt, think it would be an apt time to get on a roll?
"We're trying to get on a roll every day," Piniella said before the game. "It has nothing to do with the Cardinals. It has
nothing to do with the weekend. It has to do with we want to win as many baseball games as we can. Hopefully we can continue to play good baseball. That's all we can do, give our best and hope things go our way."
Things didn't go the Cubs' way Friday and it wasn't all Wells' fault. Kosuke Fukudome got thrown out trying to take third in the
first inning after Derrek Lee struck out.
"We're trying to stay out of the double play and we run into one," Piniella said.
The Cubs had two on in the third but Aramis Ramirez, who had missed four straight games with a thumb injury, grounded into a double
play. Ramirez doubled in the sixth but Marlon Byrd had a tough lineout to end the inning.
In the eighth, Ryan Theriot and Lee were on with no outs and Jason Motte got Ramirez to fly out to left, struck out Alfonso Soriano
swinging and Byrd looking.
Wells' news conference lasted almost as long as his start, but he summed it up perfectly.
"It's just one of them days," Wells said. "You've just got to wear it."

Relative 'used as puppet' by SCF director
Relevant offers
South Canterbury Finance (SCF) director Ed Sullivan is alleged to have used a relative as a puppet to hide the finance company's ownership of the Hyatt Hotel in Auckland, the High Court at Timaru has been told.
Sullivan, former SCF chief executive Lachie McLeod, and former director and accountant Robert White have pleaded not guilty to 18 individual and combined fraud charges laid by the Serious Fraud Office in December 2011.
Their trial, which was in its second day yesterday, is set down for four months in front of Justice Paul Heath.
The Crown completed its opening yesterday and spent the morning looking at how SCF was accepted into the Crown retail deposit guarantee scheme in 2008. Under the scheme, $1.58 billion of taxpayers' money was paid out to investors when SCF collapsed two years later. Prosecutor Colin Carruthers, QC, outlined the application SCF made in October 2008 to enter the scheme. Issues came up around the Crown's stringent policy on related-party loans.
The loans in question are financial advances from SCF to companies controlled or owned by the lender's directors or executives.
Related-party loans are not illegal, but trust deeds and the guarantee scheme required them to be disclosed, and limited how much could be loaned.
Mr Carruthers said that on December 4, 2008, Sullivan wrote to his brother-in-law, Peter Symes, and said he was required in name to own the Hyatt Hotel. The Crown alleged this was to avoid declaring it as a related-party loan, with Mr Symes not involved in the running of the company and receiving only a small fee.
"We need to appoint you, in my view, as a (sole) director of Regency Auckland. Please note that it owns the Hyatt Hotel in Auckland.
"South Canterbury Finance does not wish to be direct owner and neither does Southbury Group [SCF parent company]. It is for that reason we formed Quadrant Holdings which is the end owner of the hotel," Sullivan wrote. He finished the letter with, "Your ever-loving brother-in-law".
The ability of SCF to meet the Government's requirements to enter the guarantee scheme was debated by the accused.
White emailed Sullivan and outlined his reservations.
"We have been telling less than the truth regarding our asset quality for some time now," he wrote.
White and Sullivan asked the Crown to amend its policy requiring all transactions to be at arms-length, but it would not.
On November 19, 2008, the company was allowed into the scheme based on information from SCF prospectuses. Mr Carruthers said the company did not disclose related-party loans, which meant SCF entered the scheme by deception.
On a memo to SCF directors discussing its stake in the Scales Corporation, White had scribbled it was "Titanic deckchairs stuff".
The case will draw in another member of Sullivan's family, his nephew Geoffrey Sullivan. Mr Symes' evidence will be in writing, as he died in August. His evidence related to his role as director of Quadrant Holdings and Shark Wholesalers.
Defence still wants judge removed
Lawyers acting for the three defendants in the South Canterbury Finance fraud trial have renewed their bid to have Justice Paul Heath removed from the case, succeeding in halting the trial until Monday.
The Serious Fraud Office prosecution of former SCF directors Edward Sullivan and Robert White, and the company's former chief executive, Lachie McLeod, began in the High Court at Timaru on Wednesday.
The lawyers had earlier claimed comments made last week by SFO director Julie Read at a conference, where she said "We are very fortunate to have Justice Heath as our trial judge", showed a perception of partiality and required the trial to be aborted.
Justice Health said on Wednesday the comment by Read was "unfortunate" but innocuous and did not reflect bias on his part. He declined to stand down, but granted leave for counsel to make further submissions on the matter if they had more evidence to support their claim.
After a long break yesterday as defence counsel conferred, Bruce Squire QC, acting for White, told the court the challenge to Justice Heath would be formally renewed.
"We need to put the matter on a formal footing," Mr Squire said.
Mr Squire said affidavits would soon be filed by Wellington lawyer Scott Barker, who was present when Ms Read made the comments, and a "senior silk" who would provide expert opinion on the matter.
Colin Carruthers, QC, for the Crown, has flagged that the application would be vigorously opposed.
"In my opinion there is no foundation to it at all," he said.
Justice Health said the matter was serious and needed to be dealt with urgently.
"The issue is going to be dealt with sooner rather than later," he said.
The Crown was due to begin presenting formal evidence tomorrow, but this was cancelled to provide counsel time to prepare for an urgent hearing on Monday afternoon, when the application to remove Justice Heath will be heard.

Ross Ashby was a deeply original thinker, who produced innovative work in a number of different areas. He was a psychiatrist by training, and his core concern was in understanding how the mind and brain worked, to find "what principles must be followed when one attempts to restore normal function to a sick organism that is, as a human patient, of fearful complexity" (Ashby 1956, p. vii). The pursuit of this goal led him to advance the field of cybernetics very significantly. His influence on the field, both in his own time and to the present day, has been considerable.

The design and characteristics of a junctionless (JL) bulk FinFET were compared with the silicon-on-insulator (SOI) JL nanowire transistor (JNT) using 3-D quantum transport device simulation. The JL bulk FinFET exhibits a favorable on/offcurrent ratio and short-channel characteristics by reducing the effective channel thickness that is caused by the channel/substrate junction. The drain-induced barrier lowering and the subthreshold slope are about 40 mV and 73 mV/dec, respectively, with an on/offcurrent ratio of 105 at W = 10 nm. The JL bulk FinFET is less sensitive to the channel thickness than the SOI JNT. Furthermore, the threshold voltage Vth of the JL bulk FinFET can be easily tuned by varying substrate doping concentration Nsub. The modulation range of Vth as Nsub changes from 1018 to 1019 cm-3, which is around 30%.

REGISTER ON EVENTBRITE: http://uxstrategycourse-esv.eventbrite.com/
COURSE: User Experience Strategy for Innovative Digital Products for Designers, Developers, Entreprenuers, Marketers, and Students
This is a four-week course starting July 10, 2013 on Wednesday evenings from 7pm - 9pm.
The course will be held at The Hub Los Angeles in the Arts District of Downtown Los Angeles. If you are unfamiliar with Lean Startup principles, please read or listen to "The Lean Startup" by Eric Ries to prep for class. If you are not a designer, don't panic. But be prepared to think like one.
REQUIRED: All attendees MUST BRING a laptop or tablet device to each class to do the work and access the Cloud-based Google spreadsheet tools.
Class Syllabus
Class 1 - July 10, 2013 @ 7pm
What is UX Strategy and Why is it Crucial
In the first class, you learn the basic framework of UX strategy. The class calls out, clarifies and shows how a variety of definitions and related business approaches (i.e. Design Thinking, Lean UX, Discovery Phase, Blue Ocean Strategy, Lean Startup) affect how online/interactive products are created. Topics also include how to conduct a Competitive Analysis in order to determine your product's real competitors
Class 2 - July 17, 2013 @ 7pm
Gap Analysis, Value Innovation, and Product Definition
Too often, UX designers are handed an insane wishlist created by a startup founder or client who doesn't understand the cost of development or what is truly essential to the product. In this class, you'll learn how to take your survey of the current marketplace and identify opportunities for differentiation and innovating value. Topics include how to create a Feature Value Matrix by weighing business goals, user goals and design/dev costs in order to identiy your Minimum Viable Product (MVP) and future phase releases.
Class 3 - July 24, 2013 @ 7pm
Guerilla Market Research
Getting face to face with potential users is core to UX Strategy not only to validate a solution but to also gain insights on your customer segment. In this class, you'll learn how to embark on customer discovery by conducting inexpensive solution-based Guerilla User Research. Topics include how to recruit and screen participants, how to script and conduct a solution interview with a prototype MVP, how to create some form of MVP testing, and how to analyze findings into pivots or tweaks for your product.
Class 4 - July 31, 2013 @ 7 PM
The Funnel Matrix and Conversion Design
The purpose of a Funnel Matrix is to represent each level of engagement a customer has while interacting with your online product. Because you've conducted user research, you can now think about how the Funnel Matrix can inform your customer acquisition strategy. Topics include how to define success based on quantitative metrics (and how to measure them), how to design wireframes for conversion and multi-variant testing, and how visual and written calls to action really matter!
Networking to follow after each class at the Angel City Brewery.
Instructors: Jaime Levy (UX Strategist/College Professor) & Sarah Dzida (UX Designer)

Skip to comments.Washington Redskins football VP Vinny Cerrato resigns
Posted on 12/17/2009 5:51:45 AM PST by jpl
Washington Redskins executive vice president of football operations Vinny Cerrato has resigned, a team source tells ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter.
It was not immediately clear when the team would make an official announcement.
The resignation was first reported by ESPN 980 in Washington. D.C.
(Excerpt) Read more at sports.espn.go.com ...
It was not immediately clear when the team would make an official playoff appearance.
Now....if Dan Snyder would resign as owner,we might have a chance at becoming a winning team again...
Zorn stays?
HE must have been caught betting against the Skins!
No way.
My read, Holmgren as GM, Zorn as Head Coach and Sherm Lewis as offensive coordinator. Absent that, then we are looking at Cower and Shanahan. Inside scope says Cower to Cleveland, Shanahan to Dallas.
Snyder was finally getting hit in the pocketbook by all the empty seats not buying $8 beers. That is the only thing that will get him moving.
There may actually be adults in charge next year.
Glazer reports that Redskins coaches were advised today that the teams is in talks with former Raiders and Buccaneers executive Bruce Allen...
The arrival of Allen undoubtedly would trigger speculation that the next move would be to dump coach Jim Zorn and pursue Jon Gruden, who partnered with Allen both in Oakland and Tampa.
Clearly part of a deal with some big-name coach to get him to come to DC.
"Now....if Dan Snyder would resign as owner,we might have a chance at becoming a winning team again..."
Isn't that the truth.
Cowher to Cleveland? That'll make some heads explode in the 'burgh.
Is that announced or are you just speculating? Cower is a good coach - would have liked him in DC. News says Bruce Allen (Coach George Allens grandson) has been named GM. This means Skins will have John Gruden as headcoach next year. Allen worked at Raiders and Tampa with Gruden. Look for Skins to get back to hitting instead of west coast offense. Think I kinda of like it. Think Campbell will be retained and offensive line improved. Remember, Gruden likes to collect QBs.
I was reacting to your post. I have no information concerning Cowher.
Just a guess, but in my opinion if Cowher gets back into coaching, it will almost certainly be with Carolina.
My info is Cower will go to Cleveland - best set up a coach could want. Cleveland has disposessed itself of all atitude and performance problems, has beau coup draft picks, and plenty of salary cap room. Carolina would require Cower to rebuild the team and we all know that takes 3 years and most coaches don't last that long losing. Further, Cower at Cleveland would make the Steeler/Browns rivalry one of the hottest watched games every season. Money in the bank for both Steeler/Browns owners. Grude at DC, Cower at Cleveland, Shanahan at Dallas. Those are my picks as of 11:06 AM. In an hour or two it will probably change. Just sayin
I agree with you, this means there's a strong chance that Gruden is the next coach.
"Sherm Lewis as offensive coordinator"
Sherm has turned this team around without Portis.
The XXXXskins almost beat Dullass.
As a Ravens fan we get the skins on TV far too often, so I actually caught that game.
I try to avoid them whenever possible, unless it's to watch them get the living shirt kicked out of them.
It's Chucky time!
I'd buy Shanahan to Dallas. I've been saying that since Denver fired him. And if the 'Boys keep playing this December like they have in previous Decembers, I don't think Wade is going to be around much longer. It would also be the second time a team has hired Shanahan to replace Phillips.
Take Willam Clay Ford(Lions)...
That would possibly be worse the Favre joining the Vikings.
LOLOL! That is to be sure. But we really do need another coach...seriously.
ooops! I meant "owner".
I try to avoid them whenever possible, unless its to watch them get the living shirt kicked out of them.
You are going to have to do a lot of avoiding next year. With half an offensive line the Skins came within 3 points of defeating the Saints and Eagles and within one point of beating the Cowboys on the road. That is the same Skins with half an offensive line and 3 Pro Bowl players on the sidelines. Your Ravens don't look so hot for next year - your defense will be another year older and every team now has plenty of film on Flaco so there is no surprises. Ravens will struggle next year, Skins will win their division. Just saying.
I remember the last visit the Skins made to the Baltimore Colts, the last good game the Colts would ever play and Bert Jones basically ruined his shoulder and career to win.
Like Artie Donovan said about the skins, "We used to beat them like a drum".
Any success will be temporary.
Bert Jones was a great QB on a declining team. Hated seeing him give it all without the supporting cast. I grew up in NoVa in the 60s. At that time Baltimore Os, and Colts were the cream of the crop, but could never out draw the attendance records for the Senators and Skins. Once you cross north of the Potomac, you enter into another dimension. It gets worse as you travel further north. Don't know what it is, it just is. Hopefully, whatever it is, I hope it doesn't cross the Potomac and ruin my homeland. Cheers.
Lol! As a Skins fan, I have to have a sense of humor.
I kind of hope so. I have a lot of respect for Zorn as a coach, and I think he's done a lot with what little he's had to work with.
I think he's probably gone this offseason anyway, though. The Redskins have the cash to land a pretty big fish, and the rumors are already flying. Shanahan or Cowher seem the most plausible out of the big rumors. If the salary cap and revenue sharing are gone for any length of time, coaching the Redskins could become very attractive. The last I checked, the Redskins are the #2 team in the NFL in revenue, behind the Cowboys.
There are a couple other names out there. Jon Gruden has worked with Bruce Allen before, of course, but he's inked a long-term deal with Monday Night football. Holmgren I doubt - he wants Cerrato's job, not Zorn's, and that job has already been taken.
If I had to put money on it, my money would probably be on Shanahan coaching the Redskins next year, just because I know he's more desperate than Cowher to get back into coaching, and I think Cowher, like Holmgren, is going to at the very least want control over personnel, if not the full power of a GM. That's something Cowher's more likely to get from the Browns than the Redskins at this point.
The Skins' "temporary" run of success in the 80s and 90s under Gibbs was as long as the Ravens have been in existence. The Redskins also have more Super Bowl wins than the Baltimore Colts and the Baltimore Ravens combined.
The Skins temporary run of success in the 80s and 90s under Gibbs was as long as the Ravens have been in existence.
You are forgetting that run of success during the 40's with Sammy Baugh. And then there are those championships in the late 30s. It could be said, that the Skins with Sammy Baugh revolutionized the game of football by developing the pass as an integral part of the offense rather than using it as a desparate effort to save a stalled drive. Johnny Unitas gets the credit for being the first modern QB, but I really think that honor belongs to Sammy Baugh. Sammy modeled the behavior of the modern QB, Johnny followed and then wrote a book on it. Go back and watch the film of Sammy and you will see the 3, 5, and 7 step drop, the multiple receiver routes, and the checkoffs. What did Johnny do that Sammy hadn't already done? Love them both, but lets give cred to who earned it. I don't think anyone would disagree that Baugh was the greatest athlete to ever play pro football. I think Johnny U would agree with that. Just saying. Lets talk about the Ravens when they hit 20 years of playing.
PLEASE let there be a change in Dallas!!
Oh, I didn't forget. I just wanted to use something a bit more recent.
Sammy Baugh changed football, no doubt about it, but I'd probably go to Jim Brown or Jim Thorpe first as the greatest athlete ever to play the game.
Seems to me you are both forgetting how pitiful the skins were in the '60s.
I really felt sorry for Sam Huff when he was traded. Same with Sonny Jurgensen who was sold by the Eagles because the owner was going broke.
Sonny actually got the '72 team respectable.
The Ravens were the original Cleveland Browns from the AA?, whatever back in the late 40s.
First game in the NFL they kicked the crapola out of the champion Eagles by about 51-7 or whatever. It was 1951, can't remember the score, look it up.
As soon as Rosenbloom forced Irsay on the Colts it was over. He couldn't even show up sober at a press conference. The destruction of the Colts began the day he became the owner.
I still remember Artie, 85 now, saying about the XXXXskins, "We used to beat them like a drum".
And I remember the last time the old Browns played the Colts in Memorial Stadium. Browns scored four TDs on four possessions in the first half, 28-0. Game ended 28-0, they didn't bother playing the second half, both teams just went thru the motions.
That was when Colts fans started walking out on what is now the Indy Irsays.
I've been to Jim Thorpe's resting place north of Mauch Chunk.
You can pull off and park to pay respects.
Sammy Baugh changed football, no doubt about it, but Id probably go to Jim Brown or Jim Thorpe first as the greatest athlete ever to play the game.
Both Brown and Thorpe were running backs. Baugh played QB, Safety, Corner, and Punter. He set NFL records in each category (all three phases of the game simultaneously!!!). There is no comparison to Baugh. Show me where Brown played defense and offense and set NFL records for each in the same year? Never happened. Brown was one of the best running backs ever, but you can't compare him to the total athlete that Baugh was. Baugh played the whole game of football, offense, defense, and special teams, and excelled at each. His records still stand. He is the only NFL player to pass for 4 TDs and intercept 4 passes in the same game. Did Brown/Thrope ever have that big of an impact on a game? This stat doesn't even record his average punt distance for that game, probably because they never had to punt. Brown, and to a lesser extent Thrope, are great running backs, but they had one athletic talent not three. The concept of the best NFL athlete would have to incorporate the talent range and the impact across that range of a player. Just don't know of any player who comes close to Baugh in the history of pro football.
If Jerry can keep his mitts off things, Shanahan will be great. But he will insist on doing things HIS way. As a Broncos fan, I've watched him up close for a lot of years and am a believer. There is a reason they call him the mastermind. Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing him go to Dallas, because I DON'T want him coaching in the AFC West. I don't want to have to play him twice a year. :-)
Yep, there's always the *Jerry* factor. (longing for the Jimmy Johnson days)
I'd kinda like to see Chucky in Big D but, I like Shanahan too.
I lived there from 1985 through 2003. Between George Michael's(local NBC sports)reporting and Sonny Jurgensen's conceit, I went from liking them when I got there to hating them by the time I left. With Dan Snyder as owner, I don't think you're getting out of the slump anytime soon, unless he pays real money for a real coach and keeps away from the team completely.
Allen really has his work cut out for him. It's really easy to observe the effects of going ten years without using a meaningful draft pick for linemen...

Nine years ago, Denmark-based Dennis Aabo Sørensen lost his left hand after a firework exploded during a New Year's Eve celebration.
But thanks to researchers, Sørensen has become the first amputee in the world to be able to feel again through a prosthetic hand, USA Today reports.
Researchers from Switzerland and Italy implanted electrodes into Sørensen's arm and connected a prosthetic hand to it. This ultimately resulted in a real-time sense of touch.
While blindfolded and wearing ear plugs, Sørensen could tell the difference between a Mandarin orange and baseball.
Unfortunately for Sørensen, it will be years before the sensory enhanced prosthetic will be publicly available. Today, Sørensen is using a battery operated prosthetic hand.

Via Threadwatch,
Microsoft Gets Social from BusinessWeek has news that Microsoft may be
buying or partnering with Eurekster to
bring social search features to its MSN Window Live Search service. An question
answering service is also coming.
What's MSN Windows Live Search, by the way? Since Microsoft
doesn't seem to know if we're supposed to use
Windows Live Search (launched
last month) or MSN Search (launched
in 1998), MSN Windows Live Search is my name for covering both bases at once.
Personally, I like how it preserves the MSN brand while adding yet another word
to the search service's name. It rolls off the tongue. I'm going to go
MSNWindowsLiveSearch someone or something right now.
BusinessWeek confuses the forthcoming Q&A tool with social search. Those are
two completely different types of search features/services, of which Q&A is the
least important. In fact, it just reeks of another "me too" move that's not
going to budge MSN Windows Live Search's usage among searchers.
I mean, LookSmart Live never took off after being
in 1999. Neither
did Ask's Answer Point, which came out in 2000.
Google Answers, which was
kicked off
in 2002 the same week Answer Point closed only
0.01 percent of Google visits in November.
Yahoo Answers was
launched only
in December, so perhaps it will grow. But it probably won't.
Wondir is
still going,
but it's hardly had the growth and notice of some social sites like YouTube.
Real social/personalized search coming to MSNWLS is much more important,
because it really is something I expect will take us into that next generational
jump. Eurekster certainly has plenty of experience in the space, having ushered
in the current round of social search attention since it
back in 2004.
Here are some key stories from me on social and personalized search, if you
really want to come up to speed on changes:
- Direct
Hit Debuts Personalized Search
Launches Personalized Social Search
Search Personalization: A Marketer's Perspective
- Google
Relaunches Personal Search – This Time, It Really Is Personal
- Yahoo My
Web: An eBay For Knowledge
FYI, this will be MSN's second time around with a social search feature. In
1999, they
carried Direct Hit results, which was a rudimentary form of social search
based on tracking aggregate clicks. Direct Hit results were dropped sometime
before 2002.

Perfect for 2 persons, it is just like what you see in the pictures. The bed is spacious enough for 2. Quiet street, quiet building. Clean and comfortabel.
Guten Tag allerseits!
I'm writing this review with great pleasure since my stay at the cozy apartment of Mrs. Bianca, in Vienna, was simply unforgettable.
The flat is functional and clean and it's situated in a perfect location both for practical reasons - supermarkets, pharmacies, taxis, transport - and for tourist reasons - as a matter of fact, the proximity to a good two subways (U-bahn) guarantees to be able to reach the city center, as well as all the place of cultural interest, in about 10 minutes - .
Last, but not least, Mrs. Bianca is a very kind, available, careful and punctual person: she is a really good host!
In other words, my advice to everyone is to consider absolutely this welcoming apartment and.. let's visit Vienna at least once in a lifetime because Austria is a wonderful Country and Vienna is a wonderful city !!
Bis bald!!
Very good location, close to city center, public transportation, supermarkets and restaurants in close aproximity. The apartment is newly renovated and everything in good condition and clean. The owner was reliable, helpful and flexible in terms of hand over times.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Nice spacious living room. Nice decorated. High ceilings. Clean appartment.
On the third floor, no lift.
A good Italian restaurant at 20 m.
We arrived later than planned, but it worked out fine with the owner.
Good couchbed in the living. No curtains against the light in the livingroom.
No airco, just a fan in the bedroom.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Lovely place for - in our case - winter sports. Very central location in Kitzbuhel, accommodating 4 people.
We really enjoyed our stay in Vienna and the apartment was perfect! The neighborhood is nice and close to the city center and public transport. Bianca was really friendly. We could leave our luggage and use the apartment at the day of check out, so we could enjoy our last day in Vienna to the fullest!
Apartment is in great location, quiet and well equipped. Bianca also kindly arranged pickup and drop off from train station for us. Only negatives were that oven didn't work (hot plates did). and there's a lot of stuff in cupboards like shoes and empty bottles etc. that could be cleared out. The decor and furniture is fairly basic but overall, it was fine.
Die Wohnung von Bianca entsprach genau den Bildern die man beim Angebot ansehen konnte, alles war aber ein bischen kleiner. Wir haben uns trotzdem in der Wohnung sehr wohl gefühlt denn sie ist absolut ruhig und auch nicht weit vom Stadtzentrum entfernt. Besonders hat es uns gefallen, dass neben dem Schlafzimmer im Wohnzimmer eine absolut erstklassige Couch steht, die zu einem vollwertigen Doppelbett aufgeklappt werden kann. Insofern können auch Paare die getrennte schlafen wollen oder müssen hier in zwei verschiedenen Räumen übernachten.
Insgesamt sehr zufrieden mit der Wohnung , wir kommen gerne wieder.

Reviews for Hope International Chinese Church
This organization is collecting donations weekly, and the average amount is around 7k per week. But the funny thing is, it is not registered with IRS as a non-profit organization. It is very odd and inconsistent as a "Church", very suspicious.
Please contact Rev./Dr. Sherman Lii at 626 446-1345 to find out more.

Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Coulter's latest Regency-era romance continues the saga of the Sherbrooke family, relayed in her Bride Trilogy (The Sherbrooke Bride, etc.). While attending her first London ball, 18-year-old Meggie, daughter of Reverend Tysen Sherbrooke, encounters an old schoolgirl crush, her "almost-cousin" Jeremy. Certain that she is now old enough to be truly in love, she's devastated when her affections aren't returned. In an attempt to get over Jeremy, she hastily marries Thomas Malcombe, the earl of Lancaster, a man who has been scarred by his history with untrustworthy women. Meggie must win over her husband, even as she battles her nasty mother-in-law for control of the estate. Her troubles don't stop there, however; someone is trying to kill her, and she and Thomas must discover who and why. Although fans of the series will undoubtedly enjoy revisiting the charming and eccentric Sherbrooke family, new readers will find themselves at a loss to explain some of their bizarre behavior (the family's tradition of cat racing, for instance). Several of the novel's plot points are left unresolved as well such as the reason behind Mrs. Malcombe's antipathy toward Meggie and the motive behind Thomas's younger brother's rakish behavior. Despite the occasional charming moment, this slight story falls short of Coulter's usual standards. (Jan.)Forecast: Over the years, Coulter's fan base has expanded to include devotees of contemporary romantic suspense and thriller novels, but these readers won't find her latest a worthy introduction to her historicals. Coulter's long-time fans, however, will pluck this one off the shelf before the dust has a chance to settle.

Frankly, I found myself alternately laughing and crying my way through this book. I cried because I thought Meggie's crush on her "almost-cousin" went on far too long and caused much pain to the husband who loved her and deserved better. I laughed when the cook sang while serving nutty buns, the butler defined everyone's worth based on their suitability to walk on his back, and the new bride drowned her sorrows with the innkeeper's wife after a less than satisfactory wedding night. The two dowager countesses, although mean-spirited at times, made their contributions to the hilarity as well.
Did I ever want to know so much about cat racing? Probably not, but the images of cats leaping to the finish line with a crowd of Sherbrookes and Malcombes and their households cheering them on provoked many a chuckle even after the book was finished.
Meggie is a worthy Sherbrooke heroine, feisty and loyal and determined to the end. What man wouldn't fall in love with her? How Thomas turns out to be such a deserving Sherbrooke consort, considering his upbringing, remains a mystery.
The murder mystery plot at the end seemed a bit incongruous in comparison with the lighthearted crazy tone of the novel. I think the book would have turned out much better had the murderer remained a comical character bent on making mischief between the two dowager countesses. And perhaps that would have left room for a bit more romance between Meggie and Thomas.
Regarding the comments of a previous reviewer that Ms.Read more ›
Earl Thomas Malcombe expresses his interest in Meggie, but knows her heart belongs to another. Only when medicine he brings saves the life of a younger brother does Meggie afford him the opportunity to spend time together. While she immediately captures his heart, Meggie still mourns the loss of love that never was. Kisses distract her, however, and eventually lead her to marriage with Thomas. But words overheard only an hour after their vows are spoken provoke jealousy and anger, thus ruining their wedding night.
As Thomas and Meggie travel cross country to his family home, they are delayed by a homicide, soon followed by an attempt of Meggie's life. When Meggie's family arrives to offer their protection following a second attempt on her life, Thomas' jealousy increases. Often his negative reactions create unnecessary distance in their relationship, despite Meggie's assurances regarding her commitment to their marriage.
PENDRAGON is my first exposure to author Catherine Coulter's prose, I admit to feeling a bit torn about this book. On the one hand, she creates a lovely background with strong characterizations and delightful gothic elements. Meggie's puppy love for her cousin that eventually gives way to true love with her husband is a delight to watch.Read more ›
Poor Meggie - the real disservice to her wasn't how her husband or new mother-in-law treated her or the danger she faced, it was her author not playing out her story fully, and not giving good voice to any of the characters except Tysen and Mary Rose.

Cosmic Catastrophes: Supernovae, Gamma-Ray Bursts and Adventures in Hyperspace / Edition 1by J. Craig Wheeler
Pub. Date: 07/28/2000
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
In this tour de force of the ultimate and extreme in astrophysics, renowned astrophysicist and author J. Craig Wheeler takes us on a breathtaking journey to supernovae, black holes, gamma-ray bursts and adventures in hyperspace. This is no far-fetched science fiction tale, but an enthusiastic exploration of ideas at the cutting edge of current astrophysics. Wheeler follows the tortuous life of a star from birth to evolution and death, and goes on to consider the complete collapse of a star into a black hole, worm-hole time machines, the possible birth of baby bubble universes, and the prospect of a revolutionary view of space and time in a ten-dimensional string theory. Along the way he offers evidence that suggests the Universe is accelerating and describes recent developments in understanding gamma-ray bursts--perhaps the most catastrophic cosmic events of all. With the use of lucid analogies, simple language and crystal-clear cartoons, Cosmic Catastrophes makes accessible some of the most exciting and mind-bending objects and ideas in the Universe. J. Craig Wheeler is currently Samuel T. and Fern Yanagisawa Regents Professor of Astronomy at the University of Texas at Austin and Vice President of the American Astronomical Society as of 1999.
