The Cardinal is a fun spot. I have a ton of respect for the site designer who kept an acre of Live Oak trees in the middle. The site retains a very natural feel to it. The developer is local and has developed many successful projects.
The common area has a picnic area and set up for playing washers.
The Cardinal Condos
The units are modern with a soft touch. First floors are concrete and the rest a warm wood. Kitchens have Bosch stainless steel appliances and Silestone counters.
Lots of windows throughout lets in lots of light. And there are canned lights to supplement this natural light.
The Cardinal Floor Plans
Floor plans start at 2/2's and go up to 3 bedrooms with a study. Some have 2-car parking garages!
The Cardinal is a nice alternative for finding a modern home in 78704.

After almost fifty years in the entertainment business, it looks like comedienne Joan Rivers is still going strong. The Fashion Police critic was spotted on stage while performing a show for her fans in Dublin, Ireland on Wednesday evening.
It looks like Joan was showing a little Irish pride by wearing green highlights in her hair. She also had some of her jokes taped on the bottom of the floor just in case she'd forget one or two while she was doing her stand-up. I'm sure that crowd must have been crying their eyes out with all the laughter that had to have been going on. You know Joan doesn't hold back, LOL!

SPRINGFIELD - Play was suspended due to thunderstorms Friday afternoon at The Republican's Sheldon M. Rosenthal Memorial Junior Tennis Tournament at Forest Park.
The 12-and-under and 14-and-under girls and boys singles were just getting under way when the inclement weather forced tournament directors Al Dunbar and Tom Emery to pull players off the court.
All matches that were suspended or scheduled to be completed Friday will resume Saturday at 11 a.m., while all doubles matches, which were scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. Saturday, will proceed as scheduled.
Four matches were completed, with Longmeadow's Jack Appleman and Peter Kelley advancing in the boys 12-and-under bracket and Springfield's Brianna Flahive and Alison McCarthy advancing in the girls 14-and-under bracket.
In addition, the girls 12-and-under bracket will resume play Sunday at 9 a.m. with a round robin deciding the champion.
Any participants or fans with questions should contact Tom Emery at (413) 596-9274.

Load up Dell Open Manage Server Administrator & if not installed you can grab it from the Dell site.
Once loaded you will see a section labelled storage and beneath that you should see your RAID controllers, just keep expanding the tree and I think its in the section labelled virtual disks. In here you will be able to check the state of the drives and see what they are doing.
Feb 12, 2010 at 4:13 UTC
Downloading Open Manage as we speak!
How do i go about adding a new disk to the array?
Feb 12, 2010 at 5:24 UTC
You shouldn't need to "add" a disk to the array, it should be detected and rebuilt, which could take some time. But as mentioned above, first check with Dell Open Manager to ensure it has been detected and rebuilt. If you see a green light then that is an indication that the drive is ok and not a problem.
Feb 12, 2010 at 6:12 UTC
As rhipkin has pointed out you shouldn't need to do anything the array will rebuild by itself.
You do however mention your array is 4 disk raid 5, are all 4 being used in the array is or is 1 a hot spare.
If hot spare then when the disk failed the hot spare would have been used and the array would have been built using that, not 100% certain but when you put the new disk in I don't think it gets automatically re-assigned as hot spare and you need to do it via Open Manage.
If on the other hand all of the disks were being used for data (1.5TB) then when youput the disk in, it will rebuild onto that.
Hope this makes sense, and sorry if I am a little vague but it's been a while since I have needed to replace disks
Feb 12, 2010 at 6:26 UTC
Cheers for the replies guys.
I was also under the impression you didnt need to do anything than just replace the the disk.
From memory im sure that all 4 disks were used.
I will post back my results from open manage
Feb 12, 2010 at 6:32 UTC
Yeah, you shouldn't need to, but often you have to go into Open Manager and add the drive to the array so it can spin up (usually takes several hours as many as 24).

The search began promisingly enough.
After hitting similar names courtesy of a patient telephone operator, I finally found the gentleman for whom I had been searching. He was an old friend of my grandfather who served with "Paw-Paw" (as we affectionately refer to him) in the Air Corps during World War II. I had combed through most of the Northeastern Oklahoma phone directories - and finally hit pay dirt. I waited as the phone rang a few times and a lady answered.
After explaining what I was trying to do - reunite two former war buddies - she told me she appreciated the gesture, but the gentleman I was looking for unfortunately wouldn't remember my Paw-Paw.
"It was sweet of you to try, though," said the lady, who I assumed was the gentleman's wife but not wanting to bother her anymore I didn't inquire further. I said goodbye and hung up. It was as close as I came to reaching my goal.
A few other names and hometowns turned up nothing, and a public relations officer for the Air Force declined to offer any help, citing privacy reasons. That's understandable, I guess. Still, days like Monday make me wish I had tried a little harder with the Air Force. Kind of throw my weight around, y'know, me being a mighty member of the media and a taxpayer and all. That and two cents will get you two pennies.
My grandfather, who turns 80 this month, still remembers Dec. 7, 1941. Paw-Paw had already been in the Air Corps for about a year and was stationed in Boise, Idaho. He was seriously considering re-enlisting as his military commitment was scheduled to end in March 1942.
"After Dec. 7, I didn't have to re-enlist," he said. "They took care of that for me."
Two weeks later, Sgt. A.F. Chapman, a top turret gunner in a B-25 Mitchell bomber, was stationed in Anchorage, Alaska and later the Aleutian Islands.
"We just jumped from one island to the next until we reached the last one. That is after we cleared the Japanese off each island," he said.
He was sent back to the states for reassignment after a couple of years, and it was the trip home that provided the most danger.
Due to heavy snow, the C-47 transport plane bound for the states was forced down in the middle of the Bering Sea. The pilot provided his passengers with a choice - ride down with the plane or bail out.
"The water was so cold you only had three to five minutes before you froze," Paw-Paw said. "So we told him, 'We'll ride it out.' It just so happened the pilot cleared the ocean and got on an island."
Fortunately, the pilot managed to land near an infantry base. Despite the turbulence caused by the ongoing war, my grandfather found another reason for fighting. He married my grandmother, Louise, on March 15, 1943 while on furlough. The honeymoon wasn't long, though. Paw-Paw was soon sent to Burma as the Allies gathered their forces for an invasion of Japan.
"We were just sitting there waiting for orders to move into China," he said. "There were troops coming in from all over the world for the invasion of Japan, just hundreds of thousands."
Then one night while serving as sergeant of the guard, Paw-Paw heard the news that made Dec. 7 just a memory.
"I had one of them little tiny radios, and all of sudden some news came crackling over this thing," he said. "We had dropped a bomb on Hiroshima. There was a lot of excitement then. Before morning the news came we had dropped another bomb on Nagasaki. Everybody knows what those bombs did."
Japan surrendered unconditionally the next day.
"Was that a relief? Oh, man," Paw-Paw said. "That was when I knew I wasn't going any further."
Paw-Paw believes, and probably rightly so, that he would not have returned from the war if his radio hadn't crackled the news of the deployment of the atom bomb.
"I probably wouldn't be here now. There is no doubt in my mind," he said. "The estimates by the military, we were told, said casualties would have been over a million."
Had that happened, you wouldn't be reading this column right now. And you might be reading a newspaper written in Japanese or German. The passage of 57 years has changed my granddad quite a bit, but Dec. 7 still brings back memories.
"That day bothered me a lot, but time kind of heals everything," he said. "I don't think about it now like I did then. I'm an old man and there is no point in rehashing it now."
But there is a point in remembering Dec. 7 for the rest of us. Could this generation respond to a world-altering crisis the way my granddad's generation did? Could our current leadership make the same decisions? Thanks to veterans such as my grandfather, hopefully we'll never have to find out.
For that reason, thanks, Paw-Paw.

A look at what's happening all around the majors today:
David Ortiz and the playoff-bound Red Sox get their second chance to clinch the AL East title at Yankee Stadium. A victory over New York or a Toronto loss to Baltimore would do the trick. Boston's party was put on hold Tuesday night, when Big Papi came up uncharacteristically small in the clutch during a 6-4 defeat that snapped Boston's 11-game winning streak. Beginning his final series in the Bronx, Ortiz went 0 for 5 with two strikeouts and stranded seven runners. He ended the game by whiffing with two on against Tyler Clippard.
Cubs right-hander Jake Arrieta (18-7,...

Roger Boyd testified he had no memory of the assault during which he lost his finger and punctured his lung Sept. 19 or the hours he spent drinking beforehand with Sean West.
But Matthew Yinger, who was dating West's mother at the time, testified he heard the 22-year-old admit to the attack over the phone a few days after the assault.
The evidence presented at the preliminary hearing was enough for District Judge Richard Yetter to bind all charges over to Northampton County Court.
Easton police responded to South Cherry and Ferry streets at 6:08 a.m. Sept. 19 on reports of a stabbing, officer Danny Oliva testified. They found Boyd bleeding profusely with a gash above his ear and other stab wounds on his back, he said.
Boyd was on the ground in the fetal position, trying to get up and screaming out, Oliva said.
"He kept saying, 'Help me. Help me. I don't want to die,'" Oliva testified.
Boyd said he had spent most of the previous 14 hours hanging out with West in Wilson Borough and the West Ward. They had met the afternoon of Sept. 18, he said, and they spent much of the day drinking Heineken beer on the street and talking. They went their separate ways after an hour or two, but Boyd lent West a knife so he could walk to Easton's Centre Square, he said.
"I won't walk to Easton without a knife. I'm from Phillipsburg," he said, offering no further reasoning.
The pair ran into each other later that night, and they continued drinking together into the morning, he said. Boyd remembers they left a friend's home sometime around 3 a.m., but the next thing he could recall was waking up in the hospital.
"Who was the last person you remember being with?" asked Assistant District Attorney Kelly Lewis Fallenstein.
"Sean West," he answered.
Boyd said he later learned he and West had been kicked out of the CVS at 1501 Northampton St. for being drunk. A second knife was also missing; Boyd said he could not remember if he gave it to West or if he took it.
The attack left Boyd with cracked ribs, a punctured lung and nerve damage in his right arm that robbed him of all feeling in his hand, he said. Doctors had to reattach one of his fingers and give him about 100 stitches and staples to close the wound to his head, he estimated. He has to see doctors for future surgeries, managing his pains and physical therapy, he said.
"They took 40 cc of blood out of that lung," Boyd said.
Yinger then testified he was at his girlfriend's sister's home in the West Ward, smoking a cigarette on her porch a few days after the attack. He had only met West a few times before then, but West was alone with him on the porch talking on the phone, Yinger said.
"I overheard him say, 'I'm the guy who stabbed the other guy down the street,'" Yinger testified. West also added he had ditched the bloody clothes he was wearing, he said.
Defense attorney Matthew Potts argued Fallenstein had clearly provided enough evidence to allow the aggravated assault charge to move forward, but the attempted homicide was a different story. No doctor testified whether Boyd ever had life-threatening injuries, and no one could testify about the nature of the attack or what caused it, he said.
"You have to have a specific intent to kill, and I don't think you have that here," Potts said.
Fallenstein argued otherwise, noting the severity of the injuries Boyd described from the stand. Yetter agreed with her and set West's arraignment date in Northampton County Court for April 3.
West, of the 1400 block of Lehigh Street, did not speak publicly during the hearing, but he had an animated conversation of whispers with Potts at the end of Boyd's testimony.

When I upgraded to the iPhone 4, with the first sync, iPhoto placed my entire photo library (6000+ pictures) onto my iPhone including pics that were stored on my computer and had been taken by any device (phone, camera, computer, etc). Now, under my photos in iPhone I have those taken by my phone (camera roll), a "last 12 months" album, and a "photo library" album with the 6010 pics in it. I want to delete this album from my phone but keep the camera roll (the pics I've actually taken with this phone). Any help?
1) On my PC desktop, I right clicked and created a new folder. I named it "Empty folder".
2) I plugged in my phone to computer, opened iTunes.
3) Clicked on my phone on the left
4) Clicked on "photos" on the top
5) Clicked the box "Sync Photos with"
6) Choose the dropdown and "choose folder"
7) Click "desktop" option
8) Click on the folder that you created and named whatever you named it.
9) Click "apply/sync"
Caution, In doing so, it deletes all the albums on your phone EXCEPT Camera Roll. If you want to get your "Last 12 Months" Album back, then again click on the drop down, and choose that folder only. Then resync, and that album only will be transferred back to your phone.
Hope this helps you.
Thank You So Much!!!!!! This worked out beautifully!!!!
Like most of the comments before I think you should check to make sure photos are not automatically syncing to your phone. If they are unselect the photos/folder you don't want on your phone and apply those settings.
If you simply want to wipe all the photos off of your phone, all you have to do is plug it into iTunes, navigate to the Photos tab in your phone panel, and specify an empty folder to be synced with your phone.
Cheers. =]
omg THANK YOU SO MUCH !
You can try Syncios. It is a file manager for iPod, iPhone and iPad. It enables you to delete or to export images, videos, transfer local images between iPod/iPhone/iPad and PC.
in iTunes with you phone hooked up, "control + click" on you phone in the left column of iTunes.
--Choose "BACKUP" (this creates a separate restorable backup which you can verify under iTunes -->preferences--->Devices. (it will have the current date + [iphone name] NOTE: this is different than sync'ing and yes I learned this the hard way)
--After backup, then restorre you phone
--it will ask you to choose a backup, which you just made.
and your phone will be wiped and cleared probably the fastest way there is w/ 6000 photos?
don't use this method if you depend on jaillbreak or unlock.
In Itunes, with your phone connected, go to the 'photos' tab and uncheck whatever photos you do not want on your phone. Then simply re sync and you are good!
Connect your phone, open iTunes, click on your iPhone on the "Devices" section on the left, go to the "Photos" tab and uncheck the albums that you want to get rid of.
Thanks that really helped me for what i needed thanks very Much!!
thank you i was so worried then i found this forum and it worked!!!
you can find a guidance in http://www.ehow.com/how_5564459_delete-multiple-photos-iphone.html and for you, i suggest when you synchronizing your iphone with your PC unchecked for the photo related. It will synchronized all exclude your photo.

Armed with an oversized check and balloons, the board members presented grants to 12 teachers across the county. The successful applicants were chosen based on projects aimed at improving learning through a specific lesson using innovative or creative techniques. Each teacher submitted a budget with a list of itemized expenses for consideration of grants up to $1,000 each.
The winning teachers included the following.
- ¡Elizabeth Childs, Daphne Elementary — $399.95
- Gail Filotei, Daphne High School — $570.83
- Gerri McDonald, Perdido Elementary — $1,000
- Gail Richerson, Bay Minette Intermediate — $1,000
- Patti Cooper, Elsanor School — $520.51
- Susan Loy, Foley Elementary — $991.15
- Yonna Fogle, Robertsdale Elementary — $1,000 ¶
- Kimberly Hollis, Orange Beach Elementary — $705.55
- Alice Gillen, Gulf Shores Elementary — $1,000
- Victoria Roberson, Gulf Shores Elementary — $437.47
- Renee Phelps, Summerdale School — $620
- Richard McCracken, Foley High School — $999.70
"We are excited to be able to help our local teachers and students," said Katie Warren, chairman of Baldwin EMC's Operation Round Up board of directors. "This is what Operation Round Up is all about, improving the quality of life within our community."
Baldwin EMC's Operation Round Up program is made possible through contributions from members who voluntarily round up their electric bills each month. This small change collectively makes significant differences in other people's lives by assisting with food, clothing, health, education, environment and shelter needs.

Gordon Tingley and Martin McGuirk proudly show off their lavender field in Bear River. By June, the now drab landscape will be bursting with purple hues.

Lavender pepper is just one of the products offered by Sledding Hill and there are always new ones being dreamt up!
Sarah Puxley photo
Budding success in Bear River leads to big city competition
Gordon Tingley and Martin McGuirk are living their dream. The self-professed foodies own and operate Sledding Hill, a lavender farm on Riverview Road in Bear River.
From June through July, they will be in the field to harvest the first bloom by hand. There's no mechanical harvester, rather they will bend down themselves to pluck the bud right as the bottom flowers are beginning to open.
"It is rather hard on the back," said McGuirk.
This year though, their backs will get a bit of a break between bloom and harvest as Tingley and McGuirk head to Toronto to attend the ACE Bakery Artisan Incubator taking place June 20-22.
"I was surprised," said Tingley when asked about being chosen for the Incubator.
"Quite surprised," said McGuirk. "I thought our only chance would be getting chosen regionally."
In a way, they were. Of the 20 artisans selected nationally, only four hail from the Maritimes. Sledding Hill will join Lunenburg's Ironworks Distillery in representing Nova Scotia.
The Incubator will give national exposure and an opportunity to host a workshop showcasing their products under the guidance of Nova Scotia's own Pete Luckett.
As part of the Incubator, Tingley and McGuirk will also be competing for one of two chances for further business development.
"We're in the Nova Scotia market by choice," said McGuirk. "But these big shows drive you towards distributors, giving direct exposure to the retailers."
That's great news for Sledding Hill, especially considering how far they've come in such a short time. Only four years ago, they were working together at the University of British Columbia. McGuirk was in education management while Tingley was a textbook buyer.
While they made a good living, neither could afford the time or the cost of playing with cooking and gardening.
"I remember saying at the time, we're breaking free of the old nine to five and we're going to do something," said Tingley.
Disenchanted with the tiny properties with huge price tags available in the 'smog belt' of southern British Columbia, they turned their eyes east to the land of Tingley's childhood. Having grown up in Saint John, N.B. and attending Acadia University in his youth, the combination of proximity to family and affordable land was irresistible.
"I need to be closer to home, and we were getting sick of it out west," said Tingley.
Tingley and McGuirk viewed at least 10 properties before they found their home in Bear River. They were looking for clear land that hadn't been planted and a house that was move-in ready, and they found it in the old Wild Rice Pottery property. With 10 of the 45 acres cleared, it was the perfect fit.
"We had no second thoughts about it," said Tingley.
They named the farm in honor of the children who regularly use the hill on the property for sledding each winter (weather permitting).
Due to the steep nature of the hill, the left part of it will be kept clear for future sledders. The only stipulation is they must walk the hill themselves, there are no ATVs allowed.
"Sledding Hill is a better name than Donnie Rice's old place anyway," said McGuirk.
Tingley and McGuirk didn't plan on growing lavender originally, although it's use is common out west, especially on Vancouver Island.
In fact, it was McGuirk's sister who planted the first lavender seed in their minds. She gave them a bottle of a lavender pepper blend. brought out a spice mix for cooking that had lavender in it.
"We liked it... sort of," said McGuirk.
There were tastes they liked in it as well as tastes they didn't. They tried a few different blends, but while they found the taste combinations intriguing they weren't completely satisfied with the end result.
"We liked the concept, we liked some of the flavour... we can do better than that," said Tingley.
"It's been a challenge, but it's fun."
Tingley and McGuirk can often be found working around the farm doing everything from clearing new beds, rooting lavender cuttings, digging up rocks and even growing things like palm and hazelnut trees in the greenhouse they built.
"Gordon's more of a horticulturalist where I'm more a landscaper," said McGuirk.
"He likes to watch things grow where I'm more interested in how they look."
The farm has seen its fair share of challenges. When the lavender was first planted in August 2010, the plants looked great, McGuirk said. But come fall, they were looking a bit tepid and by spring they were almost dead. The hill was full of water, a death sentence for a plant that loves dry soil as much as lavender does.
"It was a disaster," said Tingley.
This year, the hill has been drained and sand piles line the road on the farm, ready to add to the soil. Right now, there are three varieties growing in the field and eight in the greenhouse with another one to two dozen additional varieties planned.
That being said, the company can still make products even if the lavender crops fail. That's because all the components can be bought separately. However, to eliminate issues with consistency and availability, they want to grow it themselves.
"Right now, the business is all one. Eventually it'll be the farm and the business, then the farm will sell to the business," said McGuirk.
Looking back to April 2011, Tingley and McGuirk sold their first three bottles of lavender pepper at the Bear River market alongside their vegetable offerings. In two short years, they've grown their modest business into a success story driven by good taste and great flavours.
"We're foodies, we were curious about food," said Tingley.
This curiosity with food fuels hundreds of hours of research into how to make their products on a larger scale - products like pepper, jelly, syrup and sugar.
Once they find a formula that works and is cost-effective, they then train local employees to make it to their specifications. All packaging is locally sourced.
McGuirk said ideally one day they'll be making the finished products themselves on-site at the farm, including vinegars, oils and tea.
"We've learned a lot by trial and error," said McGuirk.
Trial and error is how they came up with some of their signature cocktail recipes, such as the Southwest Nova and Scotian Riviera. So far, the drinks have been a delicious hit.
With such popular products, it's no surprise that people often ask to look at the farm and how things are done. Although they don't offer tours at this time, opening part of the grounds up to the public is part of their plan.
"People always ask us and we always say, 'Next year, next year,'" said McGuirk.
"We may have to stop waiting until we get everything done though, there's such a growing demand."
So keep your eyes open the next time you're driving down the River Road. Their signature purple doors may just be open in the future.

It's October, and that means it's Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
It's pretty hard not to be aware: Everything is awash in pink, from the fountain at the state Capitol to trendy grocery bags. The national community awareness campaign is for good reason. Breast cancer remains the most commonly diagnosed cancer among women in the United States, and it is the leading cause of cancer deaths in women between the ages of 25 to 54. One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer during their lifetime.
There's a double jeopardy for thousands of women diagnosed with breast cancer. These are the women who also find themselves awash in red. They cannot afford the medical debt to pay for their treatment. They have no insurance, or the insurance they do have won't fully cover their care.
There are an estimated half-million women in Pennsylvania who are uninsured. Many won't get mammograms because they cannot afford them.
There is a greater likelihood that uninsured women will be diagnosed with advanced-stage breast cancer than women with private insurance.
Many women also forgo a mammogram because they could not afford the treatment should they receive the feared diagnosis. It's a deadly miscalculation.
Why? Because many women who are diagnosed with breast or cervical cancer and are uninsured or have limited coverage can receive all of their cancer treatment for free. That's right, for free.
In fact, any medical problem that occurs while they are being treated for their cancer also is covered.
The program is the Pennsylvania Breast and Cervical Cancer Prevention and Treatment Program. If you are 40 to 64 years of age, have no insurance or limited insurance (also known as being underinsured) and have low to moderate income, you'll qualify.
To find out more, contact the Pennsylvania Department of Health's Healthy Woman program at 800-215-7494 or go to its website at www.PAHealthyWoman.org. The program also covers mammograms and pap tests.
So, if you do anything to observe Breast Cancer Awareness month, please let your family, friends, co-workers and your customers know about this program. Because of the recession and job losses, more women than ever are finding themselves either uninsured or underinsured. It's tough enough to fight through a cancer diagnosis, let alone wage a battle to get life-saving treatment.
We're very fortunate in Pennsylvania to have the PA Breast Cancer Coalition that advocates, supports and serves breast cancer survivors and their families. The coalition does this through educational programming, legislative advocacy, research grants and innovative outreach initiatives. It offers three other valuable free services for women with breast cancer:
"Breast Cancer: Covered or Not? A Guide on Insurance." It's an award-winning book published by the Pennsylvania Breast Cancer Coalition that guides women through the maze of insurance and government benefits. You can receive a free copy by calling 800-377-8828, ext. 100, or order online at www.pabreastcancer.org.
Patient Advocacy Services. If you have questions that aren't being answered by other resources or are having problems navigating a breast cancer diagnosis, call the coalition and ask for patient advocate Dolores Magro by leaving a message on the 800 number listed above at extension 302. You also can e-mail email@example.com.
Friends Like Me care package. If you or someone you know has received a cancer diagnosis within the last six months, call the coalition to order the care package or go to the website. The package contains valuable information about breast cancer treatment from a variety of organizations and includes a pink ribbon pin, as well as donated gifts such as cosmetics and books.
On Oct. 13, the coalition will hold its annual conference at Hilton Harrisburg, which will be chock-full of excellent workshops for cancer survivors and an inspirational luncheon with an expected attendance of 1,000 women.
Call the coalition to register and visit its website to view the schedule and workshops. The all-day registration fee with the luncheon is $85 per person.

Reading Group Guide
The Wise Woman
1. Philippa Gregory has created some wicked characters in this book. Who did you see as the ultimate villain? At what times did Alys have your sympathies? Did she ever go so far in her selfishness that she lost your compassion? What about Catherine? Did you ever begin to feel bad for her despite her ill treatment of some of the other women? Did the old lord Hugh or Hugo ever gain your sympathy?
2. Alys tries to find ways to regain safety and stability after the abbey is burned. She tells Morach, "I have no safety without some power." In what ways does she try to gain power once she gets to the castle? Do you think Alys handled her power wisely?
3. Morach tells Alys, "You're a woman of no loyalty, Alys. It's whatever will serve a purpose for you." To what degree do you find this true? Do any of the characters in The Wise Woman show loyalty? At what times does Alys's disloyalty save her? What does she lose by continually acting selfishly?
4. The book takes place during the English Reformation. How do Alys's affiliations with black magic and Catholicism mimic each other? Why do you think both witches and heretics were put to death? What dangers did they present to the Church of England?
5. The book also takes place during the reign of King Henry VIII. "[Hugo] and his father had craved sons, but this reign had taught men the value of pretty women as pawns in the power game." Discuss some of the gender role differences in Lord Hugh's castle. How did women gain power? How did the historical events that took place during King Henry VIII's reign affect the fictional story of Alys and Catherine?
6. Alys initially becomes a nun because the abbey provides a relatively luxurious and comfortable life. She measures her success in Lord Hugh's castle by how many gowns she has compared to Catherine. Why do you think Alys is so concerned with material possessions? How did her preoccupation with wealth and material gain inform her decisions throughout the story?
7. Discuss Alys's relationship with Tom. Do you think she truly loved him? Did you expect that he would return again and become the one person Alys could love unconditionally?
8. Alys considers Hildebrande a "woman mad for martyrdom, rushing toward exposure and danger." Did you see Hildebrande's loyalty to her religion as foolish? Or was Alys's extreme disloyalty more surprising? Are some beliefs worth dying for?
9. Given what you read in the novel, do you think that Alys had magical powers? Can the wax be explained scientifically? What about the carved bones? What do you think became of the wax figures once Alys died?
10. Do you think that Alys finally made the right decision at the end of the book? If she was in fact pregnant, do you think it was sinful of her to cast her unborn child onto the fire with her? What is the significance of beginning and ending the novel from Alys's point of view, and with the same words?

I started looking for a job in Silicon Valley in May 2011. In April 2012, I'm finally starting the kind of job for which I moved across the country.
The job search is exhausting and defeating. I can think of no bigger blow to my ego and self-confidence than the last 6 months of what I've called the Great Western Job Search. It's not just the countless interviews, where you basically sell yourself. It's the hundreds of resumes that get sent out, culled by systems like Taleo, and only pop if you have the right keyword. It's this feeling that you've sent an endless number of resumes into the universe and you never even know if they reached the intended recipient.
I hear so much about the Social Media Job Search and I've come to believe that most job seekers are doing it wrong. Yes, you can use all the tools out there to find a job. But I now fully believe in the old adage: it's who you know. Believe me, I'd heard that for years and never really believed it.
Instead of spending all day on Monster and CareerBuilder and Dice, cut that time in half. Spend the rest of your time cultivating your network using social media. Individually, let your LinkedIn contacts know you're looking. Reach out to your Facebook friends, in small groups or individually, and let them know you're on the marke. Make those relationships work for you. It's your weaker ties, those friends of friends, who could very well have the job opening you want. Use the LinkedIn job search function that displays how your existing network plays into the hiring company. If you have a 2nd or 3rd removed connection to that company, those are your weak ties. Reach out and cultivate those. Get your contacts to work for you.

Blues get dirty for their pre-season training run
Friday 13 Jan 2012 6:42 p.m.
By Ashlee Tulloch
The Blues stripped off today for their now annual Devonport Navy Base pre-season mud run.
Not everyone took part though – coach Pat Lam pulled rank and watched from the side.
"I did it in my playing days. Now you coach, and that's the joys of coaching – I don't have to get in there anymore," says Lam.
Piri Weepu, too, didn't participate, as his groin injury kept him from getting dirty – although he claimed that if he was fit he would have loved to take part, despite not having the ideal build for it.
"I think you've got to have long legs like Ali [Williams] and be able to have a big stride to get through the mud, but obviously people like myself are not tall enough to do that so it takes a while to get through," says Weepu.
It wasn't all serious training though, Jerome Kaino even used the mud as war paint.

@ 5:12, Houdini gives 9.Rxe6(!) as nearly winning or White (+0.74 @ 25 plys).
Thank you for this video on facing the french.
Georgi Orlov is my coach
thanks much master!
Thank you
Kaidanov opening videos are a new find for me. They are great for intermediate players (I am ~1700). In 20 min he covers the main variations of the simplest lines. Great for people like me who loves to play chess but doesn't have time or energy to study a lot of theory.
Thanks for the video and the homework!
This is a good lesson because many people think that White plays the Exchange Variation against stronger players to avoid complexity and get a draw. I used to think this was extremely boring and as Black made errors in my defence. Years ago a master told me that French players love a feisty attacking game from White and in fact look forward to the battle. By playing the Exchange White can get a little psychological advantage because of the common misconception that it is a bore. In this respect it is like the Colle System for White--Black thinks it boring, plays mechanically, and ends up in a lost position before he knows what's happening. In any case this was a great video and really useful.
I think this type of overview in invaluable, as it shows the direction games can take depending on Black's response. Someone else referred to Watson's video, which I have watched and is excellent for its purpose, but I recommend this general overview to everyone as an introduction or a refresher for the French exchange. There is no point in memorizing endless variations without an understanding of the potential direction of the game. I hope you will do many more like this.
A very nice, but very brief intro. to the exchange French. Viewers should be aware that there is a lot more to this line than is discussed here. IM John Watson covers the line in much more detail on a video on ICC, where he recommends that white aim for IQP positions w/c4 whenever strategically sound. Even then it is highly recommended that more advanced players consult specialty books for tournament preparation. For those who think the line is boring, I would suggest that they really don't understand it. Unlike the Winawer, which, after a lot of flashy tactics is likely to fizzle out into a draw, the Exchange var. allows for a slower build up where an early draw is unlikely. Also, there is a lot to learn about chess here. Strategy, positional play,& especially the attack on the enemy King. When the tactics come, it is usually decisive.
first page !
I don't agree with the critical comments which have been made here. Kaidanov presents lines which are asymmetrical and at least equal for white. If someone wants to play a position in which their intuition will serve them better (this is largely a function of the other positions they play), why not? No one would argue that the exchange is objectively better than main lines. Is it better for many of the e4 players on chess.com? Possibly. Dismissing "inferior" lines which are sound is bad for your chess. Most positions offer a chance to fight.
I agree with salowolf.
While I understand that preparing anti-sicilian or anti-french makes sense if you only care about the result (especially if your result is "not losing"), an amateur player would have a ton of fun in playing mainlines of both.
I'd much rather playing a Poisoned Pawn in the French, and maybe losing a bit more for lack of preparation, than tackling every French with positions that seem really dull and boring.
Gregory, this is a fantastically good video
this is awesome, I used to play this line but gave it up thinking that I was allowing black to simply equallize right away. I'm gonna keep the exchange in my repetoire now, thanks!
Thankyou very much.
Really enjoyed that
Great video
Very interesting video. I always play this variation and always get good results.
What about Exchange Variation followed by c4, instead of Nf3?
di GM Gregory Kaidanov
Today Gregory offers his own perspective on how to build a comprehensive opening repertoire. First up, he deals with the French in a simple, direct, and slightly underrated fashion: The Exchange Variation! He points out that against the well prepared opponent, achieving an advantage out of the opening can be difficult, so choosing a solid approach with clear plans might be the best idea for your chess game overall. As he points out, even Kasparov "endorsed" the Exchange...

Aloe Vera Juice or Gel can be consumed orally and can help relieve arthritis joint pain.
Arthritis is a group of conditions involving damage to the joints of the body. The name came from Greek words arthro– – joint + -it is – inflammation.
The main symptom and complain of victims of arthritis disease is inflammation of one or more joints, which results in pain, swelling, stiffness, and limited movement.
Inflammation is a reaction of the body on injury and characterized by swelling, pain, redness, heat and loss of function.
There are over 100 known different types of arthritis. The most common types are osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and autoimmune diseases.
Autoimmune diseases are illnesses that occur when the body's tissues are mistakenly attacked by their own immune system.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease that causes chronic inflammation of the joints, inflammation of the tissue around the joints, as well as in other organs in the body. It most typically affects the small joints in hands and feet.
Rheumatoid arthritis causes a painful swelling that can eventually result in bone erosion and joint deformity.
In addition, rheumatoid arthritis can also affect the whole body with fevers and fatigue. The swollen area is normally red in color and described as inflamed. The redness is caused by the blood supply to the 'damaged' area being increased.
Various arthritis treatments are available.
Conventional treatment includes use of anti-inflammatory drugs and steroids, typically cortisone injections or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
Analgesic (painkillers) and anti-inflammatory drugs, including steroids, are used to suppress the symptoms. These certainly can relieve the painful effects but unfortunately do not repair damaged tissues.
There can also be undesirable side effects, particularly thinning of the skin and osteoporosis, potential to cause stomach ulcers.
Non-pharmacological treatment includes physical therapy, occupational therapy and nutritional therapy.
Natural treatment includes herbal remedies.
Science has authorized a number of herbal substances as effective remedies for arthritis. Herbs are a more natural way to relieve arthritis pain, and are free of side effects associated with many prescription and over-the-counter drugs.
The fallowing natural remedies are known to help for arthritis :
- Boswellia,
- Devil's Claw, Ginger,
- Green-Lipped Mussel Omega 3 Oil,
- Turmeric plant (used to flavor food and has been used as an anti-inflammatory in Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine for centuries),
- Ashwagandha plant
- Aloe Vera.
Aloe Vera is believed to reduce severe joint and muscle pain associated with arthritis. When applied directly to the area of pain, Aloe Vera penetrates the skin to sooth the pain.
Studies have found that ingestion of Aloe Vera on a daily basis can prevent and cause a regression of adjuvant arthritis (AA).
Aloe Vera can also inhibit the autoimmune reaction associated with certain forms of arthritis, in which the body attacks its own tissues.
Repairing damaged tissue by regenerating cells is a function at which Aloe Vera has been shown to be most successful. It is not only relieves the painful symptoms but also helps to disperse damaged tissue – a type of detoxification process.
Aloe Vera may be taken both internally as a Juice and Gel or externally as a Gel applied to the painful joint.
Taking it both ways Aloe Vera's deep penetration may show maximum benefit. The degree of success with this treatment varies considerably from person to person. With some, relief and improved joint flexibility is virtually immediate – an apparent 'magical' cure, while in others, the process can take much longer and the degree of recovery may not be so great.
According to the Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association (JAPMA) Aloe Vera can help prevent arthritis and reduce the inflammation in joints already affected by arthritis (study was published at 1994).
Researchers injected animals with a bacterium to cause arthritic symptoms, specifically inflammation and swelling. To determine if it could prevent arthritis, aloe (150mg/kg body weight) was injected under the skin daily for 13 days. Physical measurements were taken daily to determine the amount of swelling and inflammation. Several compounds from aloe showed anti-arthritic activity, according to the researchers. One organic acid in aloe reduced inflammation by 79.7% and suppressed the autoimmune response by 42.4%. Another aloe compound -anthraquinone reduced inflammation by 67.3% but had no effect on the autoimmune response.
Is Aloe Vera safe as a herbal treatment for arthritis?
In 1997, a researcher at the University of San Antonio conducted a study using lab animals to observe any negative effects of drinking Aloe daily.
No harmful effects were found even at high levels. In contrast, the test animals who received Aloe Vera daily had significantly lower levels of leukemia, heart disease and kidney disease, and they lived 25 percent longer than the rats that did not receive Aloe Vera.
Update: Fasting is recommended and important procedure to cleanse the antigen-antibody complex from joints, where they remain as a part of immune defense system. Also Aloe should be taken for several month until significant results. Take 4 tablespoon (50ml) of pure Aloe Vera Juice or Gel, 2 times a day in the morning before meal and in the evening before bed. Take it with 1 glass of water or any juice. Aloe Vera juice or gel can also be use topically to ease a strong neuralgia.

Luis Amaro's arm and bat were a big reason why his 11th-seeded Roselle Park team upended sixth-seeded Union, 6-3, in the first round of the 61st Union County Tournament on Saturday at LeMatty Field in Union.
When the senior right-hander was not on the mound or at the plate, his impact did not lessen. In the top of every inning when he was not at the plate, Amaro would sit on the far left side of the dugout bench, clad in a burgundy Colorado Avalanche sweatshirt to keep his arm warm. From there, he barked encouragement and instructions to his teammates, being every bit the leader he is on the other side of the white lines.
"I've been here the longest. Coach (Nick Agoglia) always tells me, 'If you do it, they're going to do it,'" said Amaro, who has played varsity since his freshman year. "If I do it, they're going to do it. I make sure to pick everybody up and lead on and off the field."
Amaro certainly led his squad on the field, throwing a complete game six-hitter and going 3-for-3 with a double, walk, four RBI and a run as Roselle Park (7-4) advanced out of the UCT's round-of-16 for the first time since 2007. Roselle Park will now play the winner of Monday's first round game between third-seeded Westfield and 14th-seeded Plainfield on Wednesday in the quarterfinal round. Roselle Park last appeared in the UCT semifinals in 2007.
"Luis brings great leadership," said catcher Tyler Loneker, who was 2-for-4 with an RBI double. "He gets the team going."
Amaro first struck in the third inning, delivering an RBI single to tie the game at 1-1 before Loneker followed with his double to make it 2-1. Amaro, who will play at Frank Phillips College in Borger, Texas next year, then delivered the game's big hit in the fourth, ripping a bases clearing three-run double to give Roselle Park a 5-2 lead.
With a three-run lead, Amaro took over from there on the mound, retiring 11 straight from the start of the fourth inning into the seventh. He struck out 10, walked two and hit a batter in the outing to improve to 4-2 on the year. The victory is Amaro's second against a member of the Union County Conference's top Watchung Division this year. He threw an eight-inning complete game 10 days ago when Roselle Park, which plays in the middle Mountain Division, knocked off Scotch Plains in a regular season game.
"He's our leader," Agoglia said. "He'll give us a chance every day he's on the mound. Offensively, he's our best hitter. And he's the best example for us. This is a kid who when he was in eighth grade, he would be waiting to get on our field after we were done practicing. We're lucky to have him. The kids feed off of him."
Luis Alvarado was 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI for Union. Matt Meola was 2-for-4 with a run. Union took advantage of a single and two errors in the seventh to score an unearned run and load the bases with two outs, bringing the winning runner to the plate. But Amaro got a strikeout from there to end the threat and the game. Jonathan Brignoni took the loss for Union in four innings of relief, allowing four runs (three earned) on five hits with eight strikeouts and three walks.
"Amaro made the adjustments and battled," Union coach Angel Navarrette said. "He's a very good baseball player. I think at one point he said, 'Follow me guys and I'm going to lead you to a victory.' They believe in him. That's what you want from a senior, and that's what he does."

March 2013
Because I'm busier at work right now than I've been since our family grew from two, I probably should have resisted the urge to pull up the radio call of the Rangers-Dodgers game yesterday afternoon, but for two reasons I didn't.
One: Vin Scully. C'mon. Vin Scully.
Two: I needed the distraction.
Not so much a distraction from work as a distraction from baseball.
More specifically, from the overwhelming crush of off-the-field baseball content advancing a dialogue generated to overfill a void that bloats with each extra day of silence from a main character who doesn't need to be silent.
Scully isn't what he used to be, and a game ending up with 51 players and a tie score isn't baseball in its purest form, and even the club CEO sitting in the front row, watching Adrian Beltre take Mark Lowe deep and watching Leonys Martin boost his strong bid further and watching Joe Ortiz look more and more like a big leaguer every time he takes the ball, was probably thinking about a lot of the same things you and I are, surely more frustrated than any of us but also with a far greater ability to put an end to all the speculation than anyone else has.
I'd really like to wake up one morning fired up to write about why Robbie Ross/SP is arguably less of a stretch than Robbie Ross/RP was a year ago. About Jeff Sullivan's interesting take over at FanGraphs about Derek Lowe, who, he suggests sabermetrically, "as recently as 2011 . . . was arguably better than [Kyle] Lohse." About the big difference in implication between the lack of command shown by Justin Grimm and Cody Buckel, maybe wedging in a note about Chris McGuiness's .136/.208/.136 start in Indians camp that will likely lead to a opportunity for the Rangers to take him back, if they want to.
I'd like to write too long a piece about Leonys, and another about Nick Tepesch, who in a roundabout way could end up as the trophy from the Jarrod Saltalamacchia trade.
But all this other stuff is taking my eye off the ball, and that's messed up.
You could even come up with some sort of rallying point, if you tried hard enough, after the Ron Washington cocaine story emerged three years ago at this time. Everyone at the center of that story addressed it, head on, once it landed in the fourth estate.
This one just festers, as long as the silence persists.
I was driving to my son's baseball practice late in the afternoon a week ago today when news broke of the shift in job titles at 1000 Ballpark Way. Some have suggested the timing of the Friday afternoon press release wasn't accidental.
I'd be grateful to have another club announcement to process by the time I head back out to practice today.
There's a 90 percent chance of rain in Maryvale this afternoon, which I suppose increases the percentage chance that Nolan Ryan, without the distraction of a ballgame to take in, decides he's ready to talk, and to put an end to all the written speculation, to own the plate the way he did back when he was on the mound and Vin Scully was at his best himself.
Silent partner.
[T]here were indications here Friday that Nolan Ryan could possibly be out the Rangers' door, and if he does leave, it won't be because he was forced out but because ownership has eroded his position within the team.
— Randy Galloway, Fort Worth Star-Telegram
There was that first column that came out late Friday night, so Saturday morning I wanted to address the elephant in the room. So I went in and talked with Nolan and say, 'Hey, I just want to address this. I don't want it to linger between the two of us.' And we talked through it and Nolan indicated that he had no issue with myself or anything else. I've got to take it at face value and move forward. We've got a big job here to get the team ready.
— Jon Daniels, on 105.3 FM, one of several local radio interviews he's done the last couple days
Are the Rangers trying to freeze out Nolan Ryan? The short answer is no, that's not the intent, even if the eventual outcome is essentially the same should Ryan perceive that the promotions of Jon Daniels and Rick George have effectively cut him out of the loop, and he becomes nothing more than an iconic figurehead. . . . The majority of the heavy lifting has been done by Daniels. He made the trades, the drafts and the signings that built the Rangers into the envy of baseball. Ryan's contribution hasn't been as great as most fans like to believe, but it's not insignificant, either. Just as he did as a player, Ryan gave the Rangers credibility as team president, a title he no longer owns.
— Kevin Sherrington, Dallas Morning News
Nolan Ryan remains chief executive officer, but he shed president as part of his title. An icon does not need an elaborate title.
— Gerry Fraley, Dallas Morning News
Ryan is sensing uncertainty now, according to sources, and is strongly considering leaving the club. . . . Many fingers, both in the desert and across Metroplex airwaves, are pointed at Daniels, and all are reluctant to speak on the subject.
— Jeff Wilson, Fort Worth Star-Telegram
Source says it's "not looking great" Rangers/Nolan Ryan will work out differences. Says Nolan "deserves to have his dignity through this."
— Drew Davison, Fort Worth Star-Telegram
If he decides to retire from the Rangers in two months, four months or whatever, . . . Ryan's departure will produce a seismic tremor throughout baseball and, particularly, throughout Texas.
— Gil LeBreton, Fort Worth Star-Telegram
The perception of a power struggle would haunt (A) the owners who failed to broker a peace between Ryan and those who opposed him and (B) Daniels, who – fairly or not – would be viewed by some as the guy who helped run Nolan Ryan out of town.
— Ken Rosenthal, Fox Sports
Ryan's shadow is so large than Daniels hasn't gotten the credit he deserves. I'm not sure whether Andrew Friedman or Billy Beane or Brian Sabean or someone else is baseball's best general manager, but there's no way to have that discussion without including Jon Daniels. . . . Daniels built a great baseball organization. He'd done a lot of the heavy lifting before Ryan arrived, and that's the point a lot of people miss. The Rangers were well on their way to the postseason, and Nolan Ryan had almost nothing to do with the building of the baseball team. Again, that's a point a lot of people miss. . . . Ryan is such a larger-than-life figure, especially in Texas, that plenty of reporters decided to tell the story the way they thought it should be told. If the facts were otherwise, well, that's life. I don't know if Daniels ever felt slighted, but he had every right to be.
— Richard Justice, MLB.com
To put it simply: The reason the Texas Rangers gave Jon Daniels a new title the other day had more to do with assistant GM Thad Levine than it did with Nolan Ryan.
— Buster Olney, ESPN
During the process, on behalf of Mike, I asked only that the Angels compensate Mike fairly for his historic 2012 season, given his service time. In my opinion, this contract falls well short of a 'fair' contract, and I have voiced this to the Angels throughout the process. . . . The renewal of Mike's contract will put an end of this discussion. As when he learned he would not be the team's primary center fielder for the upcoming season, Mike will put the disappointment behind him and focus on helping the Angels reach their goal of winning the 2013 World Series.
— Mike Trout's agent Craig Landis, to Mike DiGiovanna, Los Angeles Times
(Whoops. Wrong story.)
This was not a Ryan power play as much as his seeking clarification whether the big baseball decisions belonged to him or to Daniels. And Daniels was declared the winner. Remember, it was just two spring trainings ago that, coming off the franchise's first World Series trip, Ryan said it was going to be either him or Chuck Greenberg. One had to go. . . . Maybe Ryan will be fine for two or three more seasons, sitting in the front row with Ruth and just enjoying baseball. Regardless, the notion that he's bound to leave because he's no longer in charge of what he was hired to do is a flawed one. He changed that the day he engineered Greenberg's exit and grabbed the CEO title.
— Tim Cowlishaw, Dallas Morning News
The Rangers have a management team that has been quite successful the past four years, but change has always been the one constant in this organization.
— T.R. Sullivan, MLB.com
With Daniels, Levine, [A.J.] Preller and the likes of [Matt] Vinnola and [Josh] Boyd upcoming on the baseball side, the Rangers have a great working situation. With George and . . . communications czar John Blake, facilities guy Rob Matwick, entertainment guru Chuck Morgan, CFO [Kellie] Fischer and the likes of business partnerships guys Joe Januszewski and customer service man Jay Miller on the business side, Ryan has an exceptional group of lieutenants. Ownership has been quiet and supportive of team building. It is an extraordinary setup, most likely the best in the business. Ryan can set the tone, be involved on the project of the moment or give advice on a key decision and this organization can continue to grow. The thing that would serve everybody best here is to realize that Ryan is a huge asset to the club and that every role evolves and changes over time. If all the parties involved can do that, this bit of drama can help re-center the organization and position it for even greater things to come.
— Evan Grant, Dallas Morning News
Over more than 35 years in the business, I don't believe I've ever witnessed a pro sports official grow more in the job than Daniels has. . . . He's a smart guy, as we already knew. Smart enough to know that, despite the differences you'd expect between a Cornell man and one educated in clubhouses and bullpens, they mutually benefit one another. Daniels will never enjoy the affection of Texans like Ryan does. Short of Tom Landry or Roger Staubach or Sam Houston, I'm not sure who would. Ryan has an authenticity cultivated over a long, storied lifetime. There's nothing phony. What he seems, he is.
— Sherrington
My job is to oversee baseball operations, and I report to Nolan.
— Daniels, to Evan Grant, Dallas Morning News
And, in a half a week in which many have spoken and written in an attempt to connect the dots – if not fill in the blanks – the greatest volume spoken has been this one:
Everybody wants to hear from you, Nolan.
We've always wanted to hear from you. We all stop down whenever you speak. In your unvarnished and often outspoken manner, you speak, and we listen. We may not always agree – but we always listen.
Everyone wants to hear from you, Nolan.
The Ryan-Daniels-George news.
On the one hand, it sounded huge. Jon Daniels and Rick George get promotions into presidency positions, in Daniels's case while also maintaining his post as General Manager, a dual title that only Detroit's Dave Dombrowski could currently claim. They continue to run their departments under CEO Nolan Ryan, who earlier in the day (and for nearly two years) was CEO and President Nolan Ryan.
On the other hand, Daniels tells the press that there won't be a dramatic difference in how baseball operations conducts its business under the new arrangement. After all, the tripartite structure when Ryan was CEO/President and Daniels was GM and George was Chief Operating Officer wasn't really changing, even if new business cards would need to be printed. Just about every local beat writer and columnist was quick to interpret the announcement as such.
Just about.
There were two things that jumped out as I was trying to process what all of this meant, and why it was done now.
The first was Randy Galloway's take toward the end of his afternoon radio show, when the news broke. He must have said "Keep a close eye on this" a dozen times. He suggested this could be a signal that Ryan, 66, perhaps not all that happy about the turn of events leading up to it, might be considering walking away from the organization, perhaps even before the season ends.
Health reasons? Pace? Family time? Office politics?
Galloway wouldn't say, or even guess – and refused to suggest there was any sort of power play involved – but he did note in a column up on the Star-Telegram website tonight that "[t]here were rumblings over the winter that Ryan was considering retirement, and at least one player's agent has been telling other people in baseball he believed Ryan was leaving the Rangers," adding that "if [Ryan] does leave, it won't be because he was forced out but because ownership has eroded his position within the team."
That's interesting.
The second thing that caught my attention was a note that Gerry Fraley (Dallas Morning News) and Anthony Andro (Fox Sports Southwest) each had toward the end of their respective stories on the announcement.
Fraley: "[O]wnership has asked [Daniels] to do everything possible to keep the baseball operations team together."
Andro: "One thing the [ownership] group wants Daniels to focus on in his new role is keeping the organization's top personnel from leaving for other opportunities."
Particularly given those comments, it stands to reason, does it not, that moving Daniels into a Presidency role could pave the way for an eventual promotion of Assistant GM Thad Levine to GM, and of Senior Director of Player Personnel A.J. Preller to Assistant GM (or, I suppose, Preller to GM if that's the shakeout)? Levine has had interviews to run other clubs. If Preller hasn't, he will.
Theo Epstein, President. Jed Hoyer, GM.
Mark Shapiro, President. Chris Antonetti, GM.
John Shuerholz, President. Frank Wren, GM.
There's precedent.
We're all trying to figure out if it's possible to keep both Elvis Andrus and Jurickson Profar, right?
Then, later tonight, I re-read the press release, and noticed something interesting.
Paragraph 1 announced the Daniels and George promotions.
Paragraph 2 noted that they would oversee their operations "under the leadership of Chief Executive Officer Nolan Ryan."
Paragraph 3 contained a five-sentence quote from Co-Chairmen Ray Davis and Bob Simpson, covering: (1) the organization's enormous strides under Ryan's leadership; (2) Ryan's impact on Daniels; (3) Ryan's work with George; (4) the promotions as a reflection of the responsibility Ryan has entrusted to Daniels and George; (5) the strength of the organization's leadership team, led by Ryan.
Paragraph 4 was Ryan's own quote.
Paragraph 5 bullet-points Daniels's tenure. Paragraph 6 highlights George's achievements. Paragraph 7 concludes the statement with a sentence remarking on what Ryan has accomplished in baseball.
While Daniels and George earned the promotions – and the extra job security that you'd expect comes along with them – the organization was nonetheless intent on focusing much of its Friday announcement on Ryan.
And I have no criticism of that. Ryan has meant a tremendous amount to this franchise in all kinds of ways, and will continue to do so, no matter what his title is, as long as he wants to. To whatever extent this development was his wish, should it effectively keep some key members of the inner circle around, at least for a longer time if not indefinitely, then one more slow clap for the big man.
We shouldn't lose sight of the folks in baseball operations and in business operations not named Friday but whom Daniels was quick to praise when asked for comment. As he put it, today's announcement was, "more than anything, . . . a recognition of the work of not just myself or Rick, but our corps under strong leadership and what the organization has accomplished over the last eight years."
The franchise is in great hands. The roster is strong, the farm system is deep, the coaching staff added a star this winter, the business side is killing it, the fan base is formidable.
And ownership has the financial muscle, the desire to win, and the determination to constantly get stronger, which in pro sports frequently includes finding ways to hang onto key assets.
Nobody was added to the organization on Friday, but while the announcement might be viewed as nominal and little more, it could turn out that the news will ultimately represent addition by delaying subtraction.
And if that's part of the outcome here, congratulations to Davis and Simpson and the group they lead, to Daniels and George for their well-deserved promotions, and perhaps to a few other folks in the organization who might end up in bigger roles.
In Texas.
And if that really is where this is headed and today's development ultimately helps this franchise win, then regardless of his official baseball title, Ryan gets a seat in front of the motorcade, and whether he's CEO or CEO/President or Team Ambassador to Everything, I think we'd all be OK with him adding "grand marshal" to his Texas Rangers job description.

Bloomberg reports and the Wall Street Journal reports that Google has asked the SEC for an exception to a rule that would classify them to be regulated as a mutual fund company. Basically, if a company's securities make up more than 40 percent of their assets, then they can be classified as mutual fund company. Google's plea to the SEC was "that it is not in the business of investing, reinvesting, or trading in securities." Right now no one knows if Google will be granted the exemption....

Editor: It is said that it takes a village to raise a child.
The safety and well-being of our children is now at greater risk because of the existence of this new Euston Street business establishment which is currently open before proper permits have been voted on by city council.
The shop window is clearly displaying merchandise which is attractive to small children (Sponge Bob) and Mutant Ninja Turtles. These items are displayed under massage oils and whips.
Also, T-shirts depicting musical group photos and symbols which are attractive to pre-teens and teens grab their attention.
There is already far too much teen sex and unwanted pregnancies in Charlottetown. Also, five pedophiles (those who objectify young children for sexual purposes) were busted just last week with another seven still under investigation.
All of you have the power to stop this type of business from operating at this far too public location where school children walk to and from their schools every day of the school year.
Even adults who use these things are not subjected to the sight of them every day. Please let common sense prevail and do not grant the variance necessary to leave this business at this location.

Overlake School student starts Community Lacrosse Project
Overlake School eighth-grader Garrett Dawson recently started the Community Lacrosse Project as a means to get lacrosse sticks to those who can't afford one. Visit http://communitylacrosseproject.webs.com/
According to his site: "I plan to collect the equipment by asking local teams if they have any extra unneeded sticks for donation. I am a middle school lacrosse player in the Redmond/Woodinville, Washington area, and this is a project for school, but this is something that is important to me and I feel that the local community would benefit from this.
"This project is important to me because with lacrosse growing so fast, especially in this area, more equipment means more players. Sports can also be used as means to improve one's lifestyle and stay healthy. Playing sports is a great way for kids to learn teamwork, discipline and camaraderie. They are also a positive use of after school time and can keep people out of violence. Some don't play sports because of cost, and that is why I'm working to eliminate that for some people."

Former pro quarterback Ryan Leaf, still remembered as one of the NFL's biggest busts, was released on parole from a Montana prison on Wednesday, the Great Falls Tribune reported.
Leaf served about half of his five-year sentence on drug and burglary charges. He also was dismissed from a drug treatment program for threatening a staff member.
Leaf was required to complete a chemical dependency program to be released and granted parole.
He was working on the coaching staff of West Texas A&M when he was arrested.

WALL TOWNSHIP – A 19-year-old Brielle woman was charged with multiple offenses early Monday morning after she allegedly eluded police in a stolen vehicle.
Shortly after 1:30 a.m. Monday, Wall Township police stopped Teresa Meakem, 19, of Brielle, for a motor vehicle violation.
The patrolmen said they did not know at the time that Meakem had taken the vehicle she was driving from a friend some time after midnight without their consent and had $4,500 in assorted warrants.
While the officers were speaking to Meakem, she sped off – nearly striking the officers – and raced through the Sea Girt Estates neighborhood at a high rate of speed trying to escape, police said.
The car was found abandoned on Lincris Lane in Wall Township and Meakem was later located and arrested at her mother's home in Brielle, police said.
Meakem is charged with taking the vehicle without permission, eluding law enforcement, hindering her own apprehension, and obstructing the administration of law.
She is being held at the Monmouth County Correctional Institute in default of $60,000 in bail.More Monmouth County news: NJ.com/monmouth | Twitter | Facebook

Jon Seiger and the All-Stars play at 4 p.m. Sunday at a Jazz Appreciation Society of Syracuse show at McNamara's Pub, 5600 Newport Road, Camillus.
The musician from Rochester is "one of the very few performing deaf musicians," according to the biography on his web site.
The trumpeter, piano player and singer also is recovering from a near-fatal attack of diverticulitis that hit him two years ago and forced him to have five surgeries over four months.
His band features Floyd Hughes on trombone, George Pierce on sax and clarinet, Bobby DiBaudo on piano, Lynn Eberhardt on bass and Allan Ward on drums.
The JASS release pronounces Seiger as "fit as a fiddle."
Tickets to join the celebration are $12 for the general public, $10 for JASS members. Call 315-652-0547 for more information.
Here's a youtube clip of Seiger and the All-Stars playing "Up the Lazy River."
