Phil Hughes looks to bounce back tonight vs. Orioles
Phil Hughes said that he had a few sleepless nights after the worst start of his professional career, a nightmarish outing last time out against the Mariners in which he surrendered seven runs and was not able to escape the first inning.
"You lay in bed and you think about things; what could have gone differently for you and what you could have done better," Hughes said. "It's tough. It's tough any way you slice it. I'm looking forward to taking the ball [tonight] and hopefully getting back on a good streak."
Hughes said that he found in his bullpen that he was on the side of the ball a little bit, which was causing his fastball to run back over the middle of the plate. Hughes tends to pitch up in the zone anyway – he's a fly ball pitcher and that lends itself to home runs at times – so he really must hit the corners to be effective.
"It's all fastball command, really," Hughes said. "The days that I've had good command of my fastball, I've been able to work everything off that. Those have been the good ones. The bad ones, I'm falling behind and trying to figure something out.
"When the fastball is there and I'm locating it, I have a good chance to be good that day. If not, I think I need to do a better job of recognizing that earlier and throwing more off-speed pitches to try to counter-balance that."
Miguel Gonzalez has the starting nod for the Orioles, and the action gets underway tonight at 7:05 p.m. ET from Oriole Park at Camden Yards.
Hughes throws live batting practice
Phil Hughes threw 26 pitches of live batting practice this morning on the main diamond at George M. Steinbrenner Field, saying that he felt good and it was exciting to finally be facing real hitters.
"I was a hair off with my command, but I sort of anticipated that, having not been in a somewhat adrenaline-filled pitching scenario," Hughes said. "Other than that, I felt great. I felt like the ball was coming out pretty good, so that's a first step."
He reported no issues from the bulging disk that sidelined him earlier in camp. Hughes' next outing will come in a simulated game on Monday and he believes there is still time to be ready for the Opening Day roster.
Hughes, Yankees avoid arbitration with one-year deal
Phil Hughes and the Yankees have agreed on a one-year, non-guaranteed contract, avoiding salary arbitration.
Hughes, 26, was 16-13 with a 4.23 ERA in 32 starts with the Yankees last season and was arbitration eligible for the third and final time.
The deal is worth $7.15 million for Hughes, who is entering an important year as he could be a free agent after the season. The right-hander earned $3.2 million last season.
New York has three arbitration eligible players remaining; pitchers Joba Chamberlain, Boone Logan and David Robertson.
The Yankees have not gone to arbitration since 2008, when they defeated pitcher Chien-Ming Wang in a hearing.
Yankees look ahead to ALCS Game 3
10/15/12: Phil Hughes, Mark Teixeira and Jayson Nix discuss what they need to do to be successful in Game 3 of the ALCS
ALDS Game 3: Phil Hughes pregame interview
Q. You pitched a pretty good game against this team about a month ago in their ballpark. What do you remember about that game specifically, and what do you take from that going into tomorrow?
PHIL HUGHES: I remember it was probably the first or second game that I really used my slider quite a bit, and I think that could be a big pitch against this team that really likes to hit the fastball. So yeah, I mean, it's a tough lineup. Obviously tomorrow is going to be a big game, either playing to stay alive or playing to move on.
I remember it was a good atmosphere over there, and it's going to be the same tomorrow here.
Q. You had a tough series against Texas a couple years ago in the postseason and didn't start last year. How much have you been looking forward to getting back out there in the postseason start and trying to redeem yourself a little bit?
PHIL HUGHES: Yeah, it's a great opportunity. Like I said, last year was a disappointing season, and the year before that, pitching a good game against Minnesota and not then pitching at all against Texas. I've been looking forward to this, and it's going to be exciting. It's going to be, like I said, a good atmosphere here and something I really look forward to.
Q. Can you characterize your year, what you were happiest about, what you may not have been happy about?
PHIL HUGHES: Well, I was happy with the way I was able to rebound from some tough starts, and that was something that we really emphasized on, just not letting things snowball and get out of control when they were bad. Obviously some things I was disappointed with. I had a bad start to the season, had some bad starts mixed in. But looking at the positives, I felt like I was able to get the ball every five days and give us a chance to win as much as I could.
Kind of an upanddown season, but you can't really look at the regular season when it comes to times like this. You just throw that out the window and just try to do the best job you can.
Q. We talked during the season about properly harnessing your adrenaline and controlling it in the early innings. Does that become more of a challenge in the playoffs?
PHIL HUGHES: Well, it can be, definitely. Obviously, it's something that, you look forward to these big games, but at the same time you are going to have that little adrenaline boost and control that and make sure you get a good couple innings underneath you, and then the nerves will settle a little bit and you can kind of focus on pitching. But it's going to be a challenge, and hopefully just come out of the gate throwing strikes and then things will settle down from there.
Q. Does starting Game 4 impact your confidence at all versus pitching if you were selected for Game 2 or Game 3?
PHIL HUGHES: It really doesn't. I mean, you make the argument that these games later in the series mean more. I look at every start, every opportunity that I have as a challenge, and I don't really focus on where I'm lined up or anything like that, just go out and do the absolute best job I can and not focus too much on the circumstances, just focus on every pitch I can possibly make.
Q. Who in their lineup is your toughest atbat and why?
PHIL HUGHES: Well, you know, with Markakis out, he was one of them. I've had a he's one of the longest hitter guys on the team so I probably have the most experience with him. But other than him Adam Jones is always a tough atbat, Chris Davis having a breakout season. There's not really one guy you can point to and say he may be the toughest atbat. They have guys up and down that lineup that can hurt you. You get one guy out but there's still eight guys you've got to go after. I just have a good game plan and try to execute every pitch.
Q. A few minutes ago Joe Girardi told some of the writers that win or lose tonight you'll be starting tomorrow's game rather than bringing CC back on short rest. How does it feel that he has the confidence in you to put you out there potentially in an elimination game?
PHIL HUGHES: Yeah, like I said, tomorrow we're either going to go on or we're going to survive. I don't really think too much into it. Like I said, I don't really focus on the circumstances, just if I'm given the opportunity go out and pitch as well as I can, and that's really it. Whether I was given the opportunity or not, I'll be prepared for it, and that's really all I can do.
Q. Results aside, do you feel like this has been a growth year for you? You've adjusted your approach, you've added a pitch, sort of sharpened the stuff that you had. Does it feel from the start of the season until now that you've taken a step up in your growth as a pitcher?
PHIL HUGHES: Yeah, I think so. Maybe a little bit. Obviously last year was disappointing and I would have liked to have built on 2010. But I just look at every year as a different path. Obviously this postseason is going to provide its challenges, but like I said, I don't really think about what I've done this year or in years past, I just kind of focus on what I can do for this team or this opportunity.
Q. You mentioned those appearances in Texas two years ago. Is there anything you can draw from those two starts against Texas, or do you try to just put those starts out of mind?
PHIL HUGHES: Yeah, I try to forget about them. You don't really want to linger on the negative. But every postseason start and things like that is an experience and something I can learn from. But it's a different team, different lineup, and I think I kind of know what to expect going into this, and that's something I can certainly learn from.
But every start, every team kind of provides their own difficulties, their own challenges.
It'll be nice having a little bit of experience going into this, but as far as drawing anything from their team specifically, it's kind of its own new experience.
Q. There's been a lot of talk about facing the same team these 20 times and all this stuff and how much you guys know about the Orioles and vice versa. How is that for you? What's your perspective on it?
PHIL HUGHES: It's hard to say. I mean, they see more, we see them more. It's all back and forth. I think everybody has got their reports, scouting reports and things like that. But you certainly know their guys just from playing in the division all year, especially down the stretch like you mentioned, playing them so often.
But I think as long as you feel confident with the game plan we have going in, there's really no advantage either way. We just have to it's going to come down to who executes, and that's really all it is.

Meditation for Beginners (2002)
Mindfulness is a universal meditation, which is a path of self-discovery and exploration. Through this practice we learn to pause and relax and get quiet with ourselves.
As we tune in, we get to see more clearly the full spectrum of life and its possibilities. We realize that we do have a choice. We can choose to nurture our inner resources – that which is best in us, rather than feed what drains us. From that place, a new energy comes into expression and it can bring great transformation, profound healing and inspiration.

This is the second time I have used this during a very hectic week with multiple deadlines and craziness! For me this is just perfect after a stressful day. I find the combination or yoga , bodyscan and then meditation is what i need to really calm down, get back in balance. For me, as someone who is still a beginner, her talking is very useful to keep me focused. I can see if you were more of experienced you might want less talking. I will be looking for more gaiam tv with her. So grateful for this, thank you.

The first 2 sessions were good, but the meditation session was disappointing. I found I couldn't enter the deepest levels of my meditation practice because there was too much talking and not enough silence. I try to achieve "no mind" in my meditation through quiet stillness and Maritza's comments would constantly pull my thoughts away from the deeper stillness of being to process her words. All the talking is like being force fed thoughts to constantly detach from. Not a good fit for my practice but I appreciate where her heart is coming from.

In the aftermath of the financial crisis, many people believed that the government's responses set the stage for a coming dollar disaster. After receiving a last-minute stay of execution in the form of the European sovereign debt crisis, the U.S. dollar now seems to be resuming its downward spiral. If you earn a salary in dollars and have most of your savings in dollars, you need to consider just how exposed you are to a potentially permanent loss of value in your assets -- and what you can do to protect yourself from that risk.
Scary milestones
Compared to the currency crisis from a couple of years ago, the dollar's plunge this time around is largely under the radar. That's because when you compare the dollar to the euro, the greenback is still a lot stronger than its record lows.
But exchange rates with other trading partners have reached alarming levels. The Swiss franc set an all-time high earlier this year and now trades well above parity, meaning that it takes more than a dollar to buy a single franc. Backed by a commodity-rich economy, the Australian dollar also traded above its U.S. counterpart recently at multidecade highs, and the Canadian dollar was worth just a hair under a buck as of yesterday.
With QE2 yet to take hold, few expect the dollar to rebound substantially in the near future. If you think the trend toward a weaker dollar will continue, then here are some ways you can turn dollar weakness into profits that will protect your portfolio.
1. Foreign stocks
One of the most obvious ways you can position yourself to benefit from a falling dollar is by owning foreign investments. As the dollar drops, the value in dollars of a foreign investment goes up, even if its share price in local currency terms stays constant.
The broad-market foreign ETF iShares MSCI EAFE Index (NYSE: EFA ) gives you a wide swath of foreign stocks. But a targeted approach may be better. For instance, Israeli-based Teva Pharmaceutical (Nasdaq: TEVA ) earns more than 60% of its revenue from North America, while Honda Motor (NYSE: HMC ) gets more of its sales from North America than from its Japanese home market. Those stocks stand to get hurt from dollar weakness nearly as much as U.S.-centered stocks. From a dollar-decline perspective, you'll do better focusing on foreign stocks with mostly overseas sales.
2. Foreign bonds
An alternative to stocks for conservative investors is to buy bonds denominated in foreign currencies. In addition to the beneficial currency effect, another advantage to foreign bonds is that they pay more interest than U.S. bonds paying rock-bottom rates.
Funds are your best bet for foreign bonds. Closed-end funds like Aberdeen Asia-Pacific Income (FUND: FAX ) and Templeton Emerging Markets Income (FUND: TEI ) offer varying degrees of focused exposure, while the ETF SPDR DB International Government Inflation-Protected Bond (NYSE: WIP ) owns the foreign equivalent of TIPS that are indexed to inflation in those foreign countries.
3. Direct currency bets
If you don't want investment risk at all, a pure currency play may be your best choice. But you don't have to go to the airport and change your green money for multicolored paper from around the world.
Currency ETFs now make it easy to pick a variety of foreign currencies. You can either pick specific currencies or buy a basket that includes money from several different countries. In some cases, you'll even get paid dividends based on prevailing local interest rates in that currency.
4. Precious metals
The one thing that foreign stocks, bonds, and currencies don't take into account is the possibility of a concerted failure of fiat currencies around the globe. If you think there's nothing inherently better about the euro, yen, or renminbi than the U.S. dollar, then you may want to retreat to the historical money of last resort: gold.
Whether funds SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE: GLD ) or Central Fund of Canada (NYSE: CEF ) are adequate to your task depends on your faith in the financial system. For some, holding actual bullion is the only way to ensure you'll have your hard currency if you need it. But for traders who anticipate trading precious metals back for dollars at some point, exchange-traded products make buying and selling a lot easier.
5. U.S. stocks
This last category may seem misplaced. But just as some foreign stocks are highly dependent on the U.S. economy, so too are many U.S.-based stocks well-positioned within the global economy. Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO ) , for instance, gets two-thirds of its business from abroad. Unlike purely domestic businesses, companies that do enough foreign business could potentially survive a massive dollar collapse without themselves imploding.
Protect yourself
Of course, many see the idea of a downward spiral in the dollar to be completely ludicrous. Yet even without a total collapse, diversifying your portfolio to give yourself some non-dollar exposure matches can reduce your overall risk. As policymakers continue to move into uncharted territory, risk management is more important than ever.
ETFs can help you protect yourself from the dollar's declines. To learn about some great ETFs that belong in your portfolio, including an international ETF, click here to get The Motley Fool's free report, 3 ETFs Set to Soar During the Recovery.

Easter brunch may conjure up images of pastel frocks, bunny costumes, and Cadbury Creme Eggs. This year we're ditching the baked-ham-and-bonnets affair in favor of a casual lunch full of springy, vibrant food. The best part? This menu is designed to impress your family and friends while allowing you to maintain your sanity. That means make-ahead dishes, a laid-back cocktail, and food that can be enjoyed all day long—without sending you back and forth to the kitchen. So here's to a new Easter: breaking free of old traditions and creating new ones. (P.S. If you want to keep the Cadbury Eggs, we won't judge.)
The Menu
• Carrot Tart with Ricotta & Herbs
• Rosé Spritzer
• Smashed Twice-Cooked Potatoes with Leeks and Green Garlic
• Duck Breast with Mustard Greens, Turnips & Radishes
• Rhubarb-Almond Cake
Serve this carrot tart as an appetizer, or set everything out at once—it all works together.
The Plan: Make It Easy (Like Sunday Morning)
The Night Before
Bake the cake. Don't worry about it drying out: The almonds in the batter help keep the cake moist for days.
The Morning Of
Bake the carrot tart. It's good—dare we say better—at room temperature.
While the Tart Bakes
Cook the duck and potatoes. To ensure the duck breast stays rosy and juicy inside, wait until just before serving to slice it.
Before Guests Arrive
Who wants to wait for a drink? Right before party time, set up rocks glasses with lemon slices, St-Germain, and bitters. As your guests arrive, fill glasses with ice and top with chilled rosé.
Before Serving
Once you've got a full house, finish the carrot tart with the herb salad, toss those mustard greens with vinaigrette, and slice the duck breasts.
The Cocktail
Don't splurge on a fancy sparkling rosé. BA's Wine Insider, David Lynch, recommends:
• Gruet NV Brut Rosé ($12) – "Maybe you've seen that this comes from New Mexico and passed. Next time, don't."
• Lucien Albrecht NV Cremant d'Alsace Brut Rosé ($16) – "Silken, refined French sparkler—and a steal."
• Segura Viudas NV Cava Brut Rosé ($10) – "Firm, spicy, dry, and crazily inexpensive for the quality."
A rectangular tart pan is ideal for showing off rhubarb's long stalks.
Get the Look
"Easter tables can get a bit cloying with pastels," says stylist Carla Gonzalez-Hart, who set the table for these photos. She counteracts those clichés by using cooler-toned flowers, a subtle block-printed linen throw from Brooklyn designer Caroline Z Hurley as a tablecloth ($140; carolinezhurley.com), and a big blue-accented cup from L.A. ceramist Ben Medansky ($40; benmedansky.com) as a vase.

Although some tracks could be construed as ska, Sublime is way more punk/reggae. There's plenty of overlap with those genres. The pure ska movement had its latest movement in the 80s spilling into the 90s, and Sublime (debuting in '88) didn't grab hold of that genre in their songs near as much as bands like the Bosstones.
Sublime rules all.

Kenner Public Works Director Jose Gonzalez received a lifetime achievement award Tuesday at the Bureau of Governmental Research's Excellence in Government Awards luncheon. The non-profit public policy research organization recognized Gonzalez for his 32-year career, most of which he spent working in Jefferson Parish government, including as chief engineer and public works director.
Gonzalez also served as parish president for five days in 2010, after both Parish President Aaron Broussard and chief administrative officer Tim Whitmer resigned within five days of each other amid a federal corruption investigation. In a brief interview, Gonzalez described those days as the most memorable, if unpleasant, moment in his career. Gonzalez, accustomed to working on roads, bridges and drainage, suddenly found himself filling the parish's top two executive positions as well as regular duties as public works director.
"Those were the longest days in my life," Gonzalez said. "I just kept praying for someone to be selected as interim president as soon as possible."
His tenure in the top posts ended when the Parish Council appointed Steve Theriot as parish president. Later that year Gonzalez retired from parish government to take the post in Kenner, where he lives. In introducing Gonzalez at Tuesday's luncheon, WVUE television personality Lee Zurik said Gonzalez left his job with Jefferson Parish on a Friday and took his new position the following Monday.
Kenner Mayor Mike Yenni credited Gonzalez with filing a "last-minute" application for Paths to Progress, a federal road improvement program, resulting in $26 million for construction projects.
"I'm working for a city where I have raised all my kids, and it's a city that I love," Gonzalez said.

MOBILE, Alabama -- Mobile Fire-Rescue Department investigators say an early morning house fire on Nall Street was set intentionally, but no one was home at the time, officials said today in a news release.
Firefighters were called at 3:06 a.m. to the 2000 block of Nall Street.
When they arrived, flames and heavy smoke were coming through the collapsed roof and all sides of the one-story, wood and brick house.
A house next door received minor external heat damage. No injuries were reported.
Investigators determined that the fire started in the dining room and spread throughout the house prior to firefighters arriving.
The damage was estimated at $30,000, officials said.
Anyone with information regarding the fire is asked to call the Bureau of Fire Prevention at 251-208-7484 or 251-208-7311 or the Arson Hotline at 251-208-6373.

Abstract: In the title salt, 2C6H9N2O2S+·SO42-, the sulfate S atom is situated on a crystallographic twofold axis (the symmetry of the anion is 2). The anion exerts intense libration, which is manifested by shortening of the observed sulfate S-O bonds, as well as by features in the electron-density map. The crystal structure is stabilized through a three-dimensional hydrogen-bonding network formed by strong N-HO hydrogen bonds.

Lilac and Coral!! I find Coral the prettiest, would like Nelle better if it was pronounced Nellie.

Lilac and Coral are too odd for a sibset, it's too obviously "colorful" I really love Fiona though and think it sounds lovely with Lilac. Good luck :)

This was the case last week, when my column about our expanding definition of "children" was widely misunderstood as commentary about Obama's health care plan. Misunderstanding was my punishment for starting and ending by mentioning the new rule that requires employee health plans to cover children up to age 26.
A few irate people think I am a jackass who said their adult children do not deserve health insurance. Online commentary hinged largely on Obamacare.
Jackass or not, I intentionally stated no opinion about the wisdom, as health policy, of expanding insurance to young adults. Obama's health plan was mentioned in this limited context only — repeat only — as another sign that our society keeps pushing back what I would call the age of responsibility. That trend is just as noteworthy as any government policy because, in my opinion, it causes more problems than it solves.
Hats off to Empyrean: I cannot be the only person who was positive Empyrean goofed in a post that quoted lyrics to the 1971 hit song "Smiling Faces Sometimes." Empyrean called it a Temptations song and I correctly recalled it was recorded by a one-hit-wonder group called The Undisputed Truth. Just as I prepared to rib Empyrean about growing senile, I discovered via Wikipedia that the Temptations recorded it first. That guy (or gal) really knows his (or her) Motown soul.

What undoes it is its mechanical structure: a stale dramatic formula of the sort taught in elementary playwriting classes.
Stephen Holden - New York Times
Even if The Ledge couldn't be written off as a hollow polemic, there's also the lifeless drama, laughable dialogue, chintzy sets, and poor lighting to grapple with.
Aaron Hillis - Village Voice
Gavin recalls his experiences while standing atop a building ready to jump; we're meant to be on edge ourselves, but the only real mystery is why Tyler took such an unrewarding role in the first place.
Elizabeth Weitzman - New York Daily News
The characters in The Ledge exist for the sole purpose of argument, and the script is too narrow to engage the viewer unconditionally.
Rex Reed - New York Observer
Chapman's sincerity is undercut by the crudely melodramatic explanations of why his principals believe as they do.
Dennis Harvey - Variety
Unlike its talky hero, the credibility of this preposterous drama immediately plunges into the abyss.
Kyle Smith - New York Post
An artificial drama enlivened by solid acting but dragged down by contrived melodrama over a fundamentalist nut.
Kirk Honeycutt - Hollywood Reporter
A film that's ultimately sabotaged by its own heavy-handed screenplay.
Kevin Thomas - Los Angeles Times
The Ledge has a couple very strong performances and it explores some interesting issues. There are some satisfying thrills to be had here and overall, it's not a bad watch.
- We Got This Covered
A perfectly watchable drama, but it could have (and should have) been a bona fide thriller.
James Plath - Movie Metropolis
Covering well-worn territory and offering no solutions, it ends up feeling shrill and angry and not nearly as profound as Chapman seems to think it is.
Mike Scott - Times-Picayune
Clunky writing and flat-footed direction derail this initially intriguing exploration into both the power and limits of belief.
Ethan Alter - Television Without Pity
The framing device of its conceit is beyond silly, and its religious and philosophical debate a tad inorganic, but ambition and intellect help drive and push The Ledge in interesting ways.
Brent Simon - Shockya.com
Nothing much holds together in this entropic drama that still manages to entertain sporadically through the efforts of its sincerely invested cast.
Cole Smithey - ColeSmithey.com
Simplistic, contrived, neo-noir psychological thriller
Susan Granger - SSG Syndicate
Chapman coaxes good performances from his cast, especially Wilson, who makes Joe's immense conflicts a matter of empathy as much as abhorrence. But Chapman doesn't have the filmmaking skills to conceal the talky, formulaic narrative.
Peter Rainer - Christian Science Monitor
rather laborious
Christopher Null - Filmcritic.com
Can't wait until Thanksgiving dinner to witness a pointless conversation between a pompous fundamentalist Christian and a sneering atheist? Then The Ledge is the movie for you.
Alonso Duralde
A drama about the clash of faith between a zealous Christian fundamentalist and a non-believer with a zest for life.
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat - Spirituality and Practice
The melodramatic flourish that ends The Ledge feels unearned and unclean: It's the sort of ending that ought to hit hard, and yet it comes off as perversely inconsequential.
Stephanie Zacharek - Movieline
The writing here is so lifeless and schematic that even the attraction of Liv Tyler stripping down to get horizontal with Hunnam won't be enough to keep you watching.
Marshall Fine - Hollywood & Fine
If nothing else, The Ledge is a reminder of what a terrible, terrible actress Liv Tyler is.
Noel Murray - AV Club
The dopey setup might fly in a film with more panache, but Chapman seems to think he's making a gritty indie with ideas on its mind.
Sam Adams - Time Out
This is a film that sincerely believes that it's crafting a thoughtful debate on the conflict between faith and reason.
Jesse Cataldo - Slant Magazine
An inconsistent, flavorless psychological thriller, trying desperately to come across provocative when it's truly about as deep and challenging as a television movie.
Brian Orndorf - BrianOrndorf.com
How much should one admire this attempted fusion of disparate elements when "The Ledger" proves to be such a dismal thriller and such a banal meditation on faith?
Dan Fienberg - HitFix
There's no holy grail at the end of this path. Nor is there any great twist or reversal. Just a gigantic anti-climax that might prove to be Chapman's embracement of irony in the whole "this is all there is" slant towards atheism.
Erik Childress - eFilmCritic.com
Noteworthy in that the doomed love triangle at its center also attempts to be a tug of war over faith and devotion of both the secular and spiritual kinds.
Ray Greene - Boxoffice Magazine
It's bold to make a movie so heavily centered on a hot button issue. I just don't think it really explores it fully.
Fred Topel - Screen Junkies

Interview with Richard Clarke 'Capturing Bin Laden Was Not One of Their Big Priorities'
In an interview, former White House counterterrorism chief Richard Clarke discusses Washington's effort, long unsuccessful, to track bin Laden, missteps made by the Clinton and Bush administrations in the search and how the CIA and Air Force resisted deploying drone aircraft in the war on terror.
SPIEGEL: Why did the hunt for Osama bin Laden take so long?
Clarke: There were four phases in the effort to track down Osama bin Laden. We made the decision that bin Laden should be arrested in 1996. Then, in 1998, President Bill Clinton authorized the CIA to kill him. After 9/11, of course, there was the attempt to capture him when the US invaded Afghanistan. Then there was a period of looking for him after he left Afghanistan. During the 1990s, the CIA didn't want to risk putting its own personnel into Afghanistan to go after bin Laden.
SPIEGEL: But they clearly had the authority to go after him.
Clarke: They were given the authority to capture and kill him, but they didn't really try very hard. It wasn't a priority. In fact, they really didn't want to do it at the working level. They frankly were more concerned about the safety of their personnel.
SPIEGEL: Was it because they didn't have the means with which to go after him?
Clarke: They tracked bin Laden using Afghan sources, and they paid Afghan groups to get him. Those Afghan groups realized, of course, that if they ever succeeded in getting him, they would be at risk -- and their contract would be over, so they never really made serious attempts. The CIA never really developed an operation using its own sources or its own people, and the US military told the president it would be too risky to use the armed forces for the task. Afghanistan is a landlocked country, and you have to get in there from somewhere. For the US military to just fly in and find one man was difficult -- not impossible, but difficult. The US military didn't want to do it because they thought it would fail and their people would get killed. When the invasion occurred in October 2001, the US military leadership planned an invasion of a country rather than the capture of a single man. They went about the invasion of the country very well, but capturing bin Laden wasn't one of their big priorities. It is hard to imagine in retrospect, but President Bush didn't let his White House staff, including myself and others, sit down with the military before the invasion and say, "Let's see your plan, and let's see how, specifically, you're going to get Osama." So they let him slip through their fingers when they really could have captured him then.
SPIEGEL: After that he fled to Pakistan.
Clarke: When he crossed into Pakistan at the end of 2001, US intelligence totally lost track of where he was and never really had a good feed on him for almost nine years.
SPIEGEL: So the last chance they had to capture bin Laden was at Tora Bora?
Clarke: That's right. After that he went cold. He didn't talk on the phone. He didn't use the Internet. He didn't have meetings either, so you couldn't know that Mr. X was going to go to a meeting with bin Laden and then follow him. The US used satellite photography, radio intercepts, drones, agents, spies, every trick they knew -- but they were never able to find a lead until last August.
SPIEGEL: In 1998, after the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania were hit, Clinton finally acted on the threat posed by bin Laden and his al-Qaida terrorist network.
Clarke: He authorized a cruise missile attack on some al-Qaida camps, and he authorized the use of lethal force by CIA to get bin Laden.
SPIEGEL: At the time, Clinton was in political hot water in Washington because of his affair with Monica Lewinsky. You are said to have raised concerns at the time that the strike might lead to criticism that the president wanted to divert attention from his affair. How did the scandal impact the hunt for bin Laden?
Clarke: It didn't affect it at all. We had intelligence that bin Laden was going to be holding a meeting at a particular location at a particular time, and therefore it would have made sense to attack that location at that time with missiles. We took that option to the president and said, "Look, Mr. President, we know this is not a good time for you because of the congressional investigation, and it will look like you're trying to divert attention, so maybe you don't want to do this." He got furious with us and said, That's none of your business. You just get me the national security advisor. Do you think we should do this? We're going to do this, and it doesn't matter what's going on in my political life.
SPIEGEL: In 2000, you realized the potential that Predator drones had in the hunt for bin Laden.
Clarke: The problem we had was that we wanted to kill him but we never knew where he was until after he had left that place, so we would always know where he had been yesterday. What we needed was the ability to see him, know where he was and attack him at that exact same time. So we needed a reconnaissance and strike capability in one. The only thing that did that and could stay up for a long time was an unmanned plane. Therefore, I proposed doing that, but the CIA opposed it. Eventually, we overruled the CIA and we ordered them to put the drone up in the air in October 2000. But no one had a missile on it in those days. That was not planned for another three years. So we forced them to do it faster, and we had a missile-armed Predator available by May 2001. But neither the CIA nor the Pentagon wanted to use it in Afghanistan.
SPIEGEL: Why not?
Clarke: The CIA said it wasn't their job to fly airplanes with missiles on them. That was the Air Force's job. The Air Force said it wasn't their job to fly their aircraft without pilots in them. I think both were just avoiding what they thought would be a potentially controversial weapon and a weapon that they thought would get them into political trouble.
SPIEGEL: Do you think that the death of Osama bin Laden is going to lead to massive retaliation attempts by terror groups like al-Qaida?
Clarke: According to the US government right now, there is no intelligence that indicates any retaliation is imminent -- but retaliation can come in different sizes. Individuals, single people who are frustrated, so-called "lone wolves," can strike. If they are going to do that, you would think they would do it relatively soon. More complex plans take a long time to put together. The question is this: If they have the capability of putting together a complex plan, then what are they waiting for? If they can do it after he has been killed, then why didn't they do it before?
SPIEGEL: How important was bin Laden to the Islamist terror movement?
Clarke: He was a symbol both of his own cause and of the Americans' inability to get him. But I do not have the impression that he was managing an organization.
SPIEGEL: Who do you anticipate will replace bin Laden?
Clarke: That presumes someone will take his place, and they may not. Ayman al-Zawahiri is his No. 2 and the obvious choice -- I suppose he could move up. He is Egyptian and a kind of academic in some ways, but a lot of people in the movement apparently don't like him. The other one is Anwar al-Awlaki with al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP). A Yemeni, he's younger, more dynamic, more like an imam -- and more from the bin Laden mould. So he is a possibility.
SPIEGEL: With bin Laden's death, is the war on terror now finished?
Clarke: Of course not. The other franchise groups -- al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), al-Qaida in Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) and al Shabab (the Somalia-based militant group) -- are all active. And there are lots of cells that are more or less autonomous. There is a whole ideological movement out there with imams and web pages, so all that continues.
SPIEGEL: Do you expect the public to be less supportive of security measures aimed at preventing terrorism now that bin Laden is dead?
Clarke: Most people understand now that we live in a world that is fragile to terrorists, and it was not just this one guy in his house in Pakistan that was the problem.

Barreto, Daniel, O'Sullivan, Catherine and Zdravkovic, L (2009) Quantifying the evolution of soil fabric under different stress paths. In: POWDERS AND GRAINS 2009: PROCEEDINGS OF THE 6TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON MICROMECHANICS OF GRANULAR MEDIA. American Institute of Physics, pp. 181-184. ISBN 978-0-7354-0682-7Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)
It is well recognized that the macro-scale response of soils is anisotropic in terms of strength, stiffness, permeability, etc. The source of this anisotropy is thought to be an anisotropy of the material itself. This anisotropy can be quantified using statistical methods if DEM numerical simulations or advanced experimental techniques are used. The anisotropic response of soil has been analyzed by many researchers in terms of the fabric tensor, which provides a measure of the orientation of the contacts between particles. Although many approaches for the quantification of the evolution of soil fabric have been used, they have not been previously compared to assess their effectiveness to describe fabric changes. A direct comparison of different methods of fabric quantification is presented in this paper based on the results from DEM simulations under different stress paths and the suitability of each of these methods is discussed. The results highlight the need for more accurate methods and/or approaches to accurately describe the evolution of fabric anisotropy in granular materials

We have the older Roku XD, which supports 1080p HD. It also supports subscription sports, MLB.TV for example, which streams all MLB games live for $100 a year. it does the NBA and NHL live streams. It does Vudu, Crackle (which is free movies), Disney, etc.
A lot the pay channels have Roku channels but most of the content is ancillary to the main channel, not the actual stuff. I think the next step will be for all the cable channels to start offering per-channel subscriptions on streaming, but until the contractual model changes with pay TV most of it will be locked up with cable and satellite. Their loss. It's not like people who ditch cable are going to go back just for The Walking Dead. But if AMC offered a $5 streaming option, maybe. Same with Discovery Channel, I'd consider adding that to our Roku for a few bucks a month. But I'm not gonna pay $50 a month to get 5 channels that I actual want.
It's like music, all the record labels screwed themselves with the Internet and streaming and now artists are finding avenues to bypass the bullplop and sell their records and downloads directly to fans. They end up getting more money from each sale since there is no A&R man, distribution overhead and the bloated label guys.

There's a river that curves up out of the Goulds and heads back into the woods below all the new forage fields, a river that winds underneath the bypass road and back towards Cochrane Pond. And on a quiet day you can find your way in to it by a series of ATV trails.
It's a fine-sized brook: one big enough to sport both brown trout and muddies, the brown trout surprisingly larger than the size of the river suggests they should be.
There are more than a couple of places where you can sit across from a bar falls — those curious breaks in a river where geology decides to cross the flow with an unnatural-looking straight line. And always, in the roll of the brown water over the rock, a deeper pool builds along the face of the rock, the sort of place where fish hold and wait for food to be delivered right to them.
On Thursday, there were trout working the surface for what turned out to be — wonder of wonders — mayflies actually hatching in May instead of their usual June. The lunchtime air was full of birdsong: robins, chickadees and, on one birch branch, a head-tilting yellow warbler, watching you with one sharp black bead of an eye.
Sitting there, looking just at the water, you might think it could be the kind of place you'd bring your youngster to teach them to fish.
Well, maybe. More to the point, it's the kind of place you might bring your youngster if you wanted to teach him what pigs we are.
This is putting it bluntly: the problem isn't finding a way to go far enough down a road to find trash on side roads up behind the Goulds. The problem is being able to go far enough to get past the indiscriminate dumping. And it's happening on a massive scale.
Take just one narrow lane back into the juniper and scrub alder: less than a city block in, and there are 17 full or burst bags of household garbage — different kinds of bags, left at different times — a trailer-load of broken concrete, a small clearing crowned at the centre with a torched, full-sized couch hide-a-bed.
There was garbage from a fast-food place at an arena or fish-and-chip shop — piles of brown cardboard chip tubs bulging out through the tears in the black garbage bag still streaked with gravy. There was garbage from homes, the sort of thing it would be far easier to leave at the curb than to lug several kilometres away to a woods road.
Televisions with their picture tubes smashed in. A brown filing cabinet with a series of puncture wounds, looking as if someone had worked it over with a pick. An office chair, black with swivelling wheels, with the back burned and melted in a fire.
Car tires. Lots and lots of car tires. Sometimes whole wheels. A bathtub. Sinks, both kitchen and bathroom. A space heater. Rafts of smashed beer bottles.
These are the leftovers of people who just plain don't care.
And the fact is, they probably haven't cared for years.
At another spot just up the dirt road, there are the remains of three cars, clearly trucked in and dumped because they have neither wheels nor engines. They weren't driven there. Two of them are big, rectangular 1970s boats and the third is a dark-blue round-topped sedan that's been in the woods so long that a spruce tree as big around as your wrist is coming right up through the engine compartment. Old enough to have a narrow, vulcanized-rubber-over-metal steering wheel — old enough to have chrome door handles and window cranks.
In under where the hood had been, there was a small metal tag that read "FAS 627 120." But everything else is gone: the vehicle identification number plate, the plates and virtually any number that would indicate whose car this once was and provide any sort of way to track how it got there.
Even the Internet doesn't know what FAS 627 120 means — unfortunately, the rest of us do.
It means these are not just people who showed up at the Robin Hood Bay dumpsite, found it closed, and decided to abandon their waste on a side road instead of bringing back to the dump on another day. These are professional wastrels.
You can find the same kind of dumpsites just off the road a little past Gander in an abandoned provincial park, on embankments on the Southern Shore highway, off side roads in Conception Bay North. Truth is, you can find them pretty much anywhere in this province.
Years ago, the provincial government brought in a "flying squad" to deal with poachers, a special anti-poaching unit that was created because someone in the government had finally had enough.
Perhaps it's time for a squad of trash hunters: people who could haul out some of the tonnes of garbage that's being dumped in the province, and who could, as they hauled it away, track down enough information from the waste to charge the people who put it there. Hike the fines, place cameras in high-trash zones, lay charges, set a few examples.
Because it's not going to stop on its own. These are people who just don't care.
Perhaps they need the particular persuasion of a knock on the door and a summons placed squarely in their hands.

The characterization of fully defined, optimized culture conditions for oocyte maturation and preimplantation development in vitro is an obvious priority, especially when there is increasing evidence demonstrating the negative consequences of oocyte and embryo culture on gene expression patterns and, more dramatically, on embryo and fetal health in animal models (Bilodeau-Goeseels and Panich, 2002; Fair et al., 2004; Krisher, 2004). These points are of particular importance as the human assisted reproduction technology field prepares to adopt in vitro oocyte maturation and zygote culture to the blastocyst stage before embryo transfer as routine technologies.
In recent years, efforts have intensified to successfully mature and inseminate oocytes in vitro and then culture the ensuing embryos to transferable stages from a large number of mammalian species (Gilchrist et al., 2004; Krisher, 2004; Sirard et al., 2006). For the most successful species, it is only possible to obtain development of a maximum of 40 to 50% of the zygotes to the blastocyst stage. Reduced oocyte developmental competence is suggested as a primary reason for the reduced potential of in vitro produced embryos (Gosden, 2002; Krisher, 2004; Sirard et al., 2006). The vast majority of in vitro matured oocytes are obtained from early antral follicles and thus are meiotically competent; however, many do not attain an optimal oocyte diameter before insemination and also display culture media-induced anomalies on embryonic development, blastocyst cell number, and apoptosis (Fair et al., 2004; Pennetier et al., 2004; Alizadeh et al., 2005).
Oocyte cytoplasmic maturation includes those events that instill upon the oocyte a capacity to complete nuclear maturation, fertilization, and early embryogenesis and thus provide a foundation for implantation, initiation of pregnancy, and normal fetal development (Brevini-Gandolfi and Gandolfi, 2001; Sirard et al., 2006). Although we can define oocyte cytoplasmic maturation, we are only now beginning to understand the molecular steps that underlie this process (Gosden, 2002).
In general terms, oocyte cytoplasmic maturation involves the accumulation of mRNA, proteins, substrates, and nutrients that are required to achieve oocyte developmental competence that fosters embryonic developmental competence (Brevini-Gandolfi and Gandolfi, 2001; Krisher, 2004; Sirard et al., 2006). Collectively, we are beginning to specify oocyte cytoplasmic maturation, and eventually a coherent understanding of this critical event in oocyte biology will emerge.
Similar to invertebrate oocytes, during oogenesis mammalian oocytes accumulate and store large amounts of maternal mRNA that are critical for embryonic development (Brevini-Gandolfi et al., 1999; Brevini-Gandolfi and Gandolfi, 2001; Piccioni et al., 2005). Transcription and storage of maternal mRNA occurs during follicular growth but ceases as the germinal vesicle undergoes breakdown during meiosis (Brevini-Gandolfi et al., 1999; Brevini-Gandolfi and Gandolfi, 2001; Piccioni et al., 2005). The embryo is dependent on stored maternal mRNA until at least the maternal-zygotic transition, when transcription of embryonic genes begins in earnest, with a major burst of transcription occurring at the 2-cell stage in mice (Brevini-Gandolfi and Gandolfi, 2001; Gosden, 2002). There is a large-scale degradation of maternal mRNA stores and an increase in mRNA deadenylation during oocyte maturation, and further losses of maternal mRNA occur during early cleavage stages (Brevini-Gandolfi et al., 1999; Brevini-Gandolfi and Gandolfi, 2001; Piccioni et al., 2005). In general, polyadenylation is associated with translational activation, whereas deadenylation is associated with translational silencing (Piccioni et al., 2005).
Only a very few studies have begun to examine the influences of varying culture environments on mRNA deadenylation and mRNA turnover/stability (Brevini-Gandolfi et al., 1999; Brevini-Gandolfi and Gandolfi, 2001). In addition, there is great need to understand the role of RNA binding proteins in regulating mRNA stability because these proteins represent reasonable targets for culture-induced influences on embryonic mRNA half-life. This will be an important area of future research for this field.
Steady progress in developing improved culture conditions for preimplantation embryos from a variety of mammalian species has occurred over the past 40 yr (Gosden, 2002; Krisher, 2004; Sirard et al., 2006). This rate of progress has intensified in particular in the last 10 to 15 yr, resulting in the characterization of effective defined or semidefined media for early embryos in species ranging from the mouse (potassium simplex optimized medium), to sheep and cow (citrate supplemented–synthetic oviduct fluid medium), and most recently the human (G1/G2 formulations). Despite all of the effort that has been applied to their successful development, much of the credit for the success of these media in supporting the first week of development in vitro must still be directed at the quality of the originating oocyte and the early embryo itself.
Preimplantation mammalian embryos display an impressive capacity to adapt to the pressures that suboptimal culture environments place upon them. The embryo can compensate, at least partially, for missing components or offset the presence of deleterious components by adjusting its developmental program (Fair et al., 2004; Pennetier et al., 2004; Alizadeh et al., 2005). This embryonic developmental plasticity operates within a defined range of tolerances that, in fact, may be established in the oocyte during oogenesis and is likely reflected by oocyte developmental competence (Gilchrist et al., 2004).
It has only been within the past decade that, for most mammalian species under investigation, oocyte and embryo culture media have supplied appropriate conditions that fall within these embryonic tolerance zones. Current media, even with their impressive capacities to support preimplantation development in vitro, must still be considered to be suboptimal for all species. We have yet to define all of the vital components of the maternal environment and mechanisms of oogenesis that are required to support early embryonic development, and we are even further from understanding their interactions with one another in supporting early development.
Because of all of these concerns, great effort has focused on understanding how oocyte-cumulus cell interactions are regulated (Gilchrist et al., 2004) and how early embryos adjust their developmental program to compensate for exposure to suboptimal culture environments (Gosden, 2002; Krisher, 2004; Sirard et al., 2006). Approaches in this research area have included studies directly comparing the levels of marker gene expression and also variations in embryonic development between in vitro and in vivo derived preimplantation embryos (Fair et al., 2004; Pennetier et al., 2004; Alizadeh et al., 2005). The primary interpretation of the majority of these studies is that gene transcription is influenced by exposure to varying culture environments.
Research is required to understand the causative events underlying oocyte maturation and early embryonic development (a) so losses can be prevented, (b) to ensure that reproductive technologies are applied in the safest and most efficient ways possible, (c) to define and optimize culture environments, (d) to increase developmental frequencies of embryos from animal species for commercial applications, and (e) to define the mechanisms regulating early development. Many of these goals will be attained as we continue to research and understand the mechanisms controlling the attainment of full oocyte developmental competence, which must rely upon the completion of oocyte cytoplasmic maturation and proper processing, storage, and activation of maternal mRNA.

Life Extension Suggestions
The drugs, hormones, and nutrients discussed in this protocol have documented mechanisms of action that may benefit the cancer patient. The objective of implementing an adjuvant regimen consisting of multiple agents is to increase the odds of achieving a long remission. Once a remission is achieved, preventing recurrence and secondary cancers becomes a lifetime commitment.
Few oncologists aggressively seek to prevent recurrence once the primary disease appears to have been eradicated. However, the regrettable facts are that colonies of cancer cells can remain dormant in the body for years or decades before reappearing as full-blown disease that is highly resistant to treatment. This has been documented in autopsy studies of people who died of diseases other than cancer but nonetheless showed significant residual metastatic tumors in their bodies.

In too many cases, a breast, melanoma, or other cancer reemerges that was supposed to have been cured. Scientists speculate that the body has natural anticancer control mechanisms that may diminish with age and exposure to physical and emotional stress factors. It is thus important for cancer patients to be vigilant in maintaining an inhospitable environment for cancer cells to propagate and protecting against age-associated immune dysfunction.
We have prepared the chart above to summarize recommendations on the basic dietary supplements and suggested doses for cancer prevention and adjuvant treatment. In addition to the agents listed here, a number of other potential adjuvant approaches are discussed in this protocol. For long-term control of cancer, some cancer patients attempt to incorporate as many of these adjuvant approaches as are tolerable and affordable. Others pick and choose which drugs, hormones, and supplements they want to consume over the long term.
Patients should read the other cancer protocols in this book, with special attention given to Cancer: Should Patients Take Dietary Supplements? and Cancer Treatment: The Critical Factors. If surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy is being considered, please refer to these specific protocols: Cancer Surgery, Cancer Radiation, and Cancer Chemotherapy.
Note: While it would be wholly inappropriate for Life Extension to steer individuals in decisions of omission or commission regarding therapies, it would be equally improper to shun responsibility. Because we are challenged by a professional and moral commitment to assist in overcoming appalling statistics, we have discussed some controversial issues in this protocol. We look forward to new findings to better substantiate optimal therapeutic approaches.

Lawyers point to it as a substantial impediment to effecting justice. Its impact is most pronounced in venues where judges face heavy calendars every day.
That usually means urban areas - Staten Island very much included.
The public, however, has no idea that it's even going on
It's all about numbers, you see, with court administrators leaning on judges to dispose of cases within a specified time frame. When judges comply with these "standards and goals," they gain favor with their bureaucratic bosses. That can bring rewards, such as receiving and keeping choice assignments and even an appointment to an appellate court.
On the other hand, judges whose disposition rates displease administrators may find themselves transferred to a distant venue and sitting in a courtroom the size of a broom closet.
The numbers-dictators can't remove judges, but they can make their lives miserable.
Thus, many lawyers say, a system has been created wherein judges are more concerned about how quickly they resolve cases than how fairly they do so. Although this can have negative consequences for litigants in every trial-level court and in every type of case, one legal maneuver is repeatedly cited by attorneys as being of special concern.
Many people believe that when they file a lawsuit, they are entitled to a trial at which they will have the opportunity to testify, call witnesses on their behalf and submit other evidence to support their claim.
However, this is not always the case
To illustrate the point, assume that an accident victim files suit against the individuals or corporate entities he believes to be responsible for his injuries. After the defendants file their answers, the discovery process begins, a multi-pronged undertaking in which the respective parties try to learn as much as they can about each other's cases.
When discovery is finally completed, something that could take years, the defendants almost always make a motion to have the case summarily dismissed then and there.
These "summary judgment" motions generally assert that the plaintiff has failed to come forth with sufficient evidence to warrant a trial. Lawyers complain that, in too many cases, these motions are being improperly granted.
While a plaintiff whose case has been summarily dismissed does, indeed, have the right to appeal, that process can be a very expensive, often prohibitively so.
Appeals also take time, generally adding a couple of more years to a lawsuit that, to an anxious plaintiff, may seem to have been filed decades ago.
Of course, just because a lawyer thinks his case has been improperly short-circuited by highhanded judicial fiat doesn't mean that he's right. There certainly are judges - the majority, in all probability - who do not allow the numbers game to influence any aspect of their performance on the bench.
Still, the fact that these standards and goals are so carefully scrutinized and utilized by administrators fuels speculation that many judges do succumb to the coercive environment they create.
Court administrators should stop hyperventilating over the disposition rates of trial judges. The mere fact that a judge has a high disposition rate does not mean that he is a good jurist. It just means that he's adept at racking up numbers.
Bear in mind also that, in addition to granting summary judgment motions, there are many other ways that a judge can reduce the number of cases on his calendar. Some of these involve technical maneuvers that produce only illusory dispositions, padding the judge's numbers but paving the way for dismissed cases to be easily resurrected.
In such instances, the clock generally starts all over again. That gives the judge the opportunity to get credit for a second disposition of essentially the same case he previously closed out.
There's no denying that the court system has its problem judges. Some can't manage their calendars; others don't really try all that hard. Court administrators have good cause to be upset with them.
Still, that is hardly a reason to aggressively monitor the work product of every sitting judge, the overwhelming majority of whom are capable and conscientious.
By doing so, court administrators threaten the independence of the judiciary in a very real way. Now, it turns out, things just might be about to get a lot worse.
The Florida legislature is currently considering legislation that has been dubbed the "Judicial Caseload Incentive Plan." If enacted, it would reward judges with financial bonuses of up to $12,000 for every year they dispose of a designated number of cases.
The proposal is preposterous for obvious reasons, and perhaps even unconstitutional. Yet it will likely come as only a mild surprise to attorneys who've been watching administrators turn up the heat on trial judges to get rid of cases.
"Standards and goals" sounds innocent enough, but it has created an alarming situation.
Because the legal system is at stake here, the only applicable standard should be the rule of law. And the only real goal should be to achieve a just result in every single case.
