I am an successful author and keeping track of my accounts was time consuming and frustrating. At times I was tearing my hair out. I realised I needed help but concerned about handing over my bookkeeping to someone. My fear was unfounded as the staff at Timewise Financial Solutions are so warm and friendly. They are knowledgeable and handle all my questions and concerns with ease. The quote they gave was very competitive, I was given a breakdown of all costs and they ensured I understood it fully. Once I signed with them, the staff member arrived promptly on the date we had chosen. Their manner was both friendly and professional. I was surprised at the amount of knowledge they had, the suggestions they gave and the way my books were kept.

Dean Blandino: NFL may take a look at nullifying TDs that involve taunting
In a Wednesday appearance on the NFL Network, Dean Blandino, the NFL's head of officiating, said that the league's competition committee is likely to reevaluate its taunting rule this offseason.
Blandino's comments came two days after Seattle's Golden Tate spent about 25 yards of an 80-yard touchdown run taunting St. Louis defenders. Also last weekend, Domininque Rodgers-Cromartie spent much of his 75-yard interception return taunting Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins.
"A lot of people felt that the touchdown shouldn't have counted, [but] a taunting foul is always treated as a dead-ball foul, meaning whatever happened during the play counts, and the foul is enforced on the next play, which would be the kickoff," Blandino said of Tate's touchdown. "In college, this action would take back the touchdown."
He added that the NFL might consider changing its rule to better resemble the college rule this offseason.
The competition committee discusses rule changes every offseason and presents them at the owners' meetings in March. The committee comprises Falcons executive Rich McKay, Cowboys executive Stephen Jones, Bengals coach Marvin Lewis, Giants co-owner John Mara, Rams coach Jeff Fisher, Packers executive Mark Murphy, Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome, Texans general manager Rick Smith and Steelers coach Mike Tomlin.

Burnett returns, League departs
The names on the transaction line weren't surprising, but there was an unexpected element to the move. A.J. Burnett was activated as scheduled, and Brandon League was cleared from the roster to make room. But, instead of being optioned, which was the expectation, League was placed back on the 15-day disabled list.
According to the Jays, League, who hasn't pitched since Aug. 4, has been bothered recently by a pulled oblique. League spent the the better part of the first four months of the season on the DL with an "overdeveloped lat muscle" or a "shoulder injury" — the explanation has never been completely clear. League has said the shoulder and the lat issues were related, and they played a role in his diminished velocity when he showed up to spring. So, after a .419 batting average against and a 6.75 ERA in seven outings, League is back on the DL.
I, for one, was glad to see Frasor didn't get demoted. Outside of a few rough outings, he hasn't pitched too poorly for the Jays. He hasn't been as sharp in his past few trips to the mound either, but can you expect much else when the guy is going a week between appearances? It's been hard for Frasor to find the innings with how well Toronto's starters have been pitching. Now, we'll just have to wait and see if League will see any more big-league innings this season.
This leads to an interesting question:
League was supposed to be the setup man this year — a job that has fallen to Casey Janssen. If B.J. Ryan comes back as expected next year, the thinking seems to be that fill-in closer Jeremy Accardo slips back into the right-handed setup role with Scott Downs as the left-handed option in the eighth inning.
So, what happens to Janssen? Should the Jays keep him in the 'pen, where he's excelled? Or, should he be an option for the rotation, which has been the long-term plan from the beginning? And, what should happen with League? Should he still be given a shot at the setup role, or has his season dropped him to the middle-relief realm for the future?
No matter how you slice it, the Jays appear to have a solid pitching staff for 2008.

Wells is killing this team this year. He comes up in the first tonight, runners on first and second with one out, and he pops out to short AGAIN.
Get it together, buddy!
Looks like Shea Hillebrand is wearing out his welcome in AAA teams.
He was signed by The Portland Beavers (Padres affiliate) on July 28th. Batted .148 over 9 games and was dumped to the Los Vegas 51's a Dodger affiliate-where he's hitting .255.
Nice win by The Jays; great outing by Burnett.
Ya, Santos is off to a poor start at AAA. Hope he picks it up.
I'd personally like to see the rotation set up as Halladay, Burnett, Marcum, Dustin, and Janssen with Janssen being on a relatively short leash. If Casey struggles as a starter he goes back to the pen and Litch can be called up from triple A. In the bullpen League can be used as the 7th inning guy if needed. If he shows he can duplicate last years season then the jays can use him or Jeremy as trade bait, with the one who stays being the set-up man. Don't want to trade either of them ? then the jays can just have a rock solid bullpen, which is obviously a good luxary to have.
If Gustavo Chacin is still on the team then I would leave him as a long reliever/spot starter, untill a team is willing to trade for him, if no team is then he's simply some pretty good depth to have in case someone gets injured.
I think the starters next year-barring injury is exactly what we see now.
Personally, I love the idea of having Accardo, Janssen and League as the 7th + 8th inning guys. It gives us the luxury of having one fresh each day. All we need from starters is 6 innings and then lights out.
Romero will be back and take the place of Tallet. The balance of the pen includes BJ Ryan, Frasor and Chacin. Wolfe starts off in AAA and gives us a quality replacement in case of injury. Chacin, hopefully gives us a starter replacement, and so does Janssen.
Nice to have options, and it's going to be a very strong pitching staff.
I see Tony LaRussa's contract is up with St. Louis at the end of this year.
Now he would definately be the finishing piece.
Wells had been 6 for 13 in August with RISP coming into this game.
so gsumner, is scott downs in the plans for the pen? I think Frasor might get the hook, or maybe Chacin.
This is how I see the Jays next year:
5 sps are Doc, aj, marcum, mcgowan, chacin.
bullpen 7: bj, accardo, janssen, league, frasor, downs, romero. (its tough to demote Wolfe at this point, but we'll see how the season goes.
AAA- Litsch starting, Wolfe Tallet in pen.
Off team- Josh Towers and maybe Tallet.
6 for 13 in August doesn't make up for a season's worth of pop-ups, especially now that these games are becoming more and more meaningless….
As far as the bullpen goes, I've got a feeling Frasor might be the odd man out next year. The thing with bullpens, however, is that you never know what might happen. During Spring Training, after all, Accardo was pretty much being written off. Fast forward to August, and everyone's singing a different tune about the guy.
I dunno…I often feel like a relief pitcher has the hardest job in baseball. They're often forgotten when they perform well and when they screw up, they're ripped into, demoted, and thrown into trades for virtually nothing.
And did anyone else see Gathright rob Hill of a second home run in as many games?
My point is May was the only month Wells hit worse than .300 with RISP, and that was when he had the flu. There are better targets if you want to complain about lack of clutchness.
I dunno….Wells has been pretty disappointing all round this season. With a runner just on second he's 9 for 52 (.214), with a runner just on third he's 4 for 17 (.235), and with runners on first and second he's 6 for 30 (.200). Those are hardly impressive.
Granted, with the bases loaded or runners on second and third, he's a combined 10 for 18. Now that's something!
What gets me is the amount of times he pops out or grounds out without even advancing the runner. I mean, come on, 9 for frickin' 52 with a man on second? Your clean-up/fifth guy in the order's got to do better than that….
Not to mention, too, that 9 of his 14 home runs have been solo shots….
Wells has so many solo shots because he went on a hot streak when put in the leadoff spot. Aren't 15 of Rios's 20 homeruns solo shots, too?
Sure, Rios has a lot of solo shots, but he spent a much longer amount of time at the lead-off spot than Wells.
And I realize that Wells went on his "hot" streak when he was leading off, but that still doesn't make up for the fact that aside from that streak, he hasn't been hitting the long ball (or even hitting consistently). It's looking like it'll be a struggle for him to even top 20 HRs on the season. For a guy being paid that much money to hit in the 3, 4, or 5 spot in the order, that's really not acceptable.
When it comes right down to it, I'm not arguing that Wells isn't a good player. He is, but he's having a brutal season and without him producing, the Jays' lineup is too slow and too reliant on the long ball. The Jays need this guy to hit .300 with 30 HRs or else they're too easy to pitch to.
And, come on, can you really defend that 9 for 52 with a runner on second?
It's 9 for 42 with a single runner on second. Plus, if he moves the runner up to third with a swinging bunt, it counts for the 42 but not the 9. The 52 is games, not at-bats.
And he was 0 for 11 with a man on second in May, the Flu month. The 9 for 31 the rest of the time looks a lot better.
I would like to see Roy, AJ, McGowan, Marcum, Janssen. Then have Downs and Accardo in setup with BJ closing. League will get his shot at mid relief. Chacin if he is healthy can be long relief. Either way, I think AJ will opt out after 2008 so Jays will need another starter again.
Oh forgot about Litsch. If he is the real deal, then he can be a starter too.
I'd bet the shirt collars are starting to get tight in Boston, with the Yanks only 4 back.
Who'd have ever thought Gagne would pitch as bad as he has for them.
Ya, how could I forget Downs. So we have BJ, Janssen, Accardo, League, Downs, Fraser and then either Wolfe or Chacin.
I think Tallet still has options so he could start at AAA, along with Wolfe.
Talk about depth!
Thanks for catching the 52/42 thing. I was getting a little cross-eyed there!
But I'm still not that impressed even with May taken out. 9 for 31 is decent, but not that great for your franchise player. Look at these other players' averages with a man on second:
Derek Jeter: 17 for 42, .405
Magglio Ordonez: 15 for 40, .375
David Ortiz: 13 for 38, .342
Vladimir Guerrero: 12 for 35, .343
Now those are numbers! And I'm only harping on the runner on second business because I think a high average in that situation shows not only the ability to hit in the clutch, but also the mindset to keep an inning going and keep the lineup moving. There are other Jays' players who are doing worse than Wells (re: Glaus at 5 for 35, .143 with a runner on second), but after signing that contract in the offseason, Wells is a lightning rod for criticism. Sure, you take out May and he's had a "decent" season. But decent, my friend, doesn't really cut it….
Does anyone remember how Carlos Beltran played the year after he signed his big contract with the Mets? .266, 16 HR, 78 RBI. What is he now? A perenial all-star who you can count on for a gold glove and 30+ HR, 100+ RBI every year. Give Wells a chance before you jump off his bandwagon. We have him 7 more years so you better get used to him. He will come around, if not this year, then next year
But Jeter's only 5 for 24 with runners on first and second. Does that single-handedly make him non-clutch?
Don't get me wrong — I'm still a big fan of Wells and I'm pretty sure he'll bounce back next year. My point is simply that his all round dysfunction this year is one of the major reasons the offense is scuffling along. Without him hitting for average AND power, the meat of the order is simply an invisible Wells and two guys who are slow, strikeout prone, and reliant on the home run (Thomas and Glaus).
But, yeah, like Beltran, I'm expecting the guy to bounce back next year with much better numbers. He's hit too well in the past for this to continue….
Torgen: So you're telling me that, defensive position and past numbers aside, you'd rather have this year's Wells in your lineup over Jeter?
Rotation 08:
Glaus should be traded while his stock is relatively high and is a free agent after 08. How about signing Lowell or Branyan or wait for 08 and sign Crede or Blalock or better yet Chipper for Glaus' replacement. Johnny Mac is now your full time everyday SS next year. He is a wiz at SS and his bat is much improved with his increased playing time. Trade Johnson so Lind can play. Wells leads off.
Lineup 08:
Glaus (assuming he isn't traded)
Keep Stairs for the bench!
And although it's just a rumour, this is on the FoxSports website:
"The Rockies couldn't acquire a starter in time to avoid pitching right-hander Tim Harikkala against the Cubs Sunday, but they're considering trading for Blue Jays righty Josh Towers or Orioles righty Steve Trachsel, both of whom have cleared waivers. They also inquired about A's righty Chad Gaudin, who is 0-5 with an 8.54 ERA in his last six starts, but determined the price to be too high. Towers, also drawing interest from other clubs, could be moved in the next several days . . ."
(scroll down to the bottom of the page)
well let's hope they get the deal done.
Yeah, there's definitely no point in having Towers rusting away in the bullpen. I also read DeJong's doing pretty well at AAA, so he could possibly take Towers' spot in the 'pen….
I hope for Towers sake they make the trade. He certainly has no future with us; but he might do OK in the NL.
Although I'd really hate to see the guy in Colorado. He's already prone to giving up the long ball without pitching half the year in Colorado's thin air!
ya we might see a 600 footer.
I'm saying it's easy to take splits too far. Ever seen the movie Little Big League? The announcers in that movie epitomize this.
It's definitely easy to take splits too far, but I'm not really taking any of this too seriously. I just like talking ball and stats with someone else who enjoys the game.
All nit-picking and obscure stats aside, I just think we'd be seeing a different Jay ballclub this year if Wells was playing up to par. I think this lineup is built around Wells and when he's not hitting for average and slugging the ball like he did last year, the whole lineup suffers. Of all the slumps and injuries the Jays have had this year, I think Wells' has effected them the most.
But that is just my opinion….
And, no, I haven't seen Little Big League. I'll have to check it out….
But you know what's funny, I just turned on the game and guess who's up to bat with a runner on second? Our man Vernon Wells. And what does he do? Grounds out to short, but I will grant you, he did move Rios over to third….
pathethic at bat from Wells and Thomas. Did these guys come to play tonight or not
Nice to see Litsch and Thigpen catch a runner stealing after five in a row against the combo of Burnett/McGowan and Zaun.
But what's up with the fielding tonight? I didn't actually see the errors, but three of them can't all be hard luck balls….
Or was it actually six in a row against Zaun?
It looks like they're all suffering from hang-overs. no energy, no effort just pathetic.
Thigpen has a good throwing arm. Zaun should try to throw left handed-maybe he'd be better. I don't understand why we don't play Thigpen more often. He should catch McGowan, Marcum and Litsch.
I agree that Zaun's arm isn't looking too good these days, but I think he deserves a little bit of slack — McGowan and Burnett can't hold a runner on to save their life. They've got huge leg kicks and in general they're just slow to the plate.
But I agree about Thigpen — I think he deserves more time behind the plate. I love Zaun's attitude, but he's definitely not getting any younger.
And, gsumner, did you see any of those errors? How's Luna looking at third?
Luna made one of the errors and has gone 0-3. I never saw it or Hill's. I saw Overbea's. He took his eye off the ball and simply missed it.
I like Zaun's attitude as well and you're right McGowan and Burnett are partially to blame.
But overall,to me it looks like they're mailing it in tonight.
Litsch delivered another quality start-only 1 earned run-3 unearned which tells you everything about the game
Yeah, I gotta say — looks like the Jays offense and defense left Kansas City before this game even started….
They play like this often on the road-seldom at home, but a lot of times on the road.
Makes you wonder whether they're all out partying the night before doesn't it
Did you see the Braves waived Julio Franco to AAA? 48 years old and still playing is remarkable.
Sometimes I do wonder what these guys do on the road. To tell you the truth, I can't picture a lot of these guys being big party guys. This is all speculation, but can you really picture Brian Tallet, Roy Halladay, and Lyle Overbay getting tanked together?
Nice game, though, by Litsch tonight. He battled and looked confident in the few innings that I saw him pitch….
Looks like the Jays are snake bit tonight. This should be in Ripley's. Believe it or not, Syracuse have had 5 errors, New Hampshire-4,Dunedin-3,Lansing-2 and Auburn 1. The only clean game was from the Gulf Coast Blue Jays.
Can you believe that?
Julio Franco is pretty incredible. But I'm wondering if this might be his last year — after all, how many 48 year olds want to be riding the bus in AAA?
Apparently, Atlanta promised to recall him September 1st. The guy must just love the game.
Ouch. Tallet just got rocked.
And, yeah, that's a whole lot of errors for one organization in one night. I'm thinking Santos had at least one of those errors in Syracuse?
lol, no he didn't-but he's already got his share. Griffin had 1, Hattig had 1 and Barker had 3. Barker's a pretty weak first baseman, which might explain why all the infielders are getting so many errors. I saw 3 of Santos and they were all throwing errors-which might or might not have been caught by a better quality 1st bagger.
Ya, another great Tallet outing.
I don't understand that move-subbing Zaun for Thigpen, when we're down 6-2 in the top of the 8th.
Thigpen's played well-why yank him.
I was about to say the same thing about the Zaun sub. The game's looking like it's out of hand, so why not give Zaun the entire day off and let Thigpen work with some of the relief pitchers?
well at least he finally put in Fraser-nice outing-I do not understand why they don't use him more instead of Tallet.
I'm still not sure what to think of Tallet. His overall numbers aren't too bad, although he hasn't pitched really well since May (2.12 ERA in 11 games).
He seems to give up a lot of walks and his ERA with runners in scoring position is 11.77.
That's pretty brutal….
In the long run, I think Tallet simply gets more innings because the Jays don't have any other lefties in the 'pen other than Downs. And as much of a workhorse as Downs is, he can't pitch every single day.
As for Frasor, he just happened to pitch himself into the doghouse. His numbers aren't bad, but he fell apart in a couple of key situations and now Gibbons seems to have no confidence in him.
Man oh man — that's the ballgame. The Jays really needed more than a split in KC…
He always seems to come in with a runner on, gives up a hit, the runner score and then settles in. The problem is it generally costs us the game. And the pitcher he replaces can't be too happy either cause he takes the era hit.
We have better in Syracuse-including De Jong who went 3 tonight and gave up no hits.
Hey did you check out Diaz at Syracuse-still hitting .362
Diaz is looking good and I heard he's got a decent arm. Apparently what he needs to work on is the catching basics — blocking pitches in the dirt, calling games, and that sort of thing.
DeJong is doing well. The trouble, though, is that he's right-handed. The Jays really need another lefty option other than Downs….
Every reliever falls apart from time to time-look at Gagne.
To me, it seems like every time Tallet goes out there-its like tonight. Anyone's better than that-left or right.
well-maybe he's called Chacin
All righty — I've got to get back to work. Good talking to you and have a good night!
Venafro has been pretty good against lefties in AAA (.192 average and 2 walks in 13.1). At this point I'd rather have him in the pen than Tallet, although with the rumours that Towers could be headed to Colorado, maybe we can have both.
The Jays released Venafro. At 34 years old, his prospects probably weren't too good:
As far as Chacin goes, he'd need to strengthen his arm a lot before he could start coming out of the bullpen. He had enough problems coming out every 5 days, let alone at an inconsistent rate out of the bullpen. I'm wondering if Chacin even has a future with the Jays any more….
I wonder the same about Chacin, but if they are going to trade him, they need to showcase him-up here for a couple of starts one way of the other.
We have great left handers in the lower minors; some of the draftees are doing very well-just doesn't seem like we have anyone capable or ready to come up this year.

Caroline Biocks & Michelle Ephraim have really outdone themselves with the latest installment of McSweeny's daily humour website – a Shakespearean parody of Craigslist. Specifically, what would Shakespeare's characters sell, rent , buy or give away?
There are some real classics on here that work on every level (in fact there are some that are way over our heads). Guess the plays from "Willslist":
Willslist.org Sample:
"My Kingdom for a Horse
Call 1-800-HUMPBACK or email email@example.com"
"Spectacular Island Getaway!
Go native! Miles and miles of beaches and new adventures to enjoy in this under-the-radar paradise. Comes with personal slave. If interested, put message in a bottle "TO: PROSPERO." Or get in a ship and start sailing. I'll get you here."
"In-law apartment—AVAILABLE NOW
Windowless apartment/dungeon just vacated by ungrateful relative. NO servants or pets allowed. And you can't use my kitchen. Last tenant was evicted for breaking rules, so don't push it. Contact Goneril at email@example.com."
Doting dad is downsizing! Off to spend my sunset years splitting time between two loving daughters. This castle has it all: updated banquet hall, master bedroom with gold chamber pot—the works. No references needed. Just tell me how much you love it and it's yours! email@example.com"
"Junior Girl's Dress, size small. Looks heavy but isn't… trust me
LOTS of beads on this Pink Gunne Sax by Jessica McClintock dress. Still too lightweight for what I need. Some water stains. $60 or whatever you want to pay. I really don't care. firstname.lastname@example.com
Sheer genius from McSweenys!
Read the full post and prepare to chuckle and scratch your head in puzzlement in equal measure…Do you have any Shakespearean listings of your own?

IO::Async::Function - call a function asynchronously
use IO::Async::Function;
use IO::Async::Loop;
my $loop = IO::Async::Loop->new;
my $function = IO::Async::Function->new(
code => sub {
my ( $number ) = @_;
return is_prime( $number );
$loop->add( $function );
args => [ 123454321 ],
)->on_done( sub {
my $isprime = shift;
print "123454321 " . ( $isprime ? "is" : "is not" ) . " a prime number\n";
})->on_fail( sub {
print STDERR "Cannot determine if it's prime - $_[0]\n";
This subclass of IO::Async::Notifier wraps a function body in a collection of worker processes, to allow it to execute independently of the main process. The object acts as a proxy to the function, allowing invocations to be made by passing in arguments, and invoking a continuation in the main process when the function returns.
The object represents the function code itself, rather than one specific invocation of it. It can be called multiple times, by the
call method. Multiple outstanding invocations can be called; they will be dispatched in the order they were queued. If only one worker process is used then results will be returned in the order they were called. If multiple are used, then each request will be sent in the order called, but timing differences between each worker may mean results are returned in a different order.
Since the code block will be called multiple times within the same child process, it must take care not to modify any of its state that might affect subsequent calls. Since it executes in a child process, it cannot make any modifications to the state of the parent program. Therefore, all the data required to perform its task must be represented in the call arguments, and all of the result must be represented in the return values.
The Function object is implemented using an IO::Async::Routine with two IO::Async::Channel objects to pass calls into and results out from it.
IO::Async framework generally provides mechanisms for multiplexing IO tasks between different handles, so there aren't many occasions when such an asynchronous function is necessary. Two cases where this does become useful are:
When a large amount of computationally-intensive work needs to be performed (for example, the
is_primetest in the example in the
When a blocking OS syscall or library-level function needs to be called, and no nonblocking or asynchronous version is supplied. This is used by
This object is ideal for representing "pure" functions; that is, blocks of code which have no stateful effect on the process, and whose result depends only on the arguments passed in. For a more general co-routine ability, see also IO::Async::Routine.
The following named parameters may be passed to
new or
code => CODE
The body of the function to execute.
model => "fork" | "thread"
Optional. Requests a specific
IO::Async::Routine model. If not supplied, leaves the default choice up to Routine.
min_workers => INT
max_workers => INT
The lower and upper bounds of worker processes to try to keep running. The actual number running at any time will be kept somewhere between these bounds according to load.
max_worker_calls => INT
Optional. If provided, stop a worker process after it has processed this number of calls. (New workers may be started to replace stopped ones, within the bounds given above).
idle_timeout => NUM
Optional. If provided, idle worker processes will be shut down after this amount of time, if there are more than
min_workers of them.
exit_on_die => BOOL
Optional boolean, controls what happens after the
code throws an exception. If missing or false, the worker will continue running to process more requests. If true, the worker will be shut down. A new worker might be constructed by the
call method to replace it, if necessary.
setup => ARRAY
Optional array reference. Specifies the
setup key to pass to the underlying IO::Async::Process when setting up new worker processes.
The following methods documented with a trailing call to
->get return Future instances.
Start the worker processes
Stop the worker processes
Gracefully stop and restart all the worker processes.
@result = $function->call( %params )->get
Schedules an invocation of the contained function to be executed on one of the worker processes. If a non-busy worker is available now, it will be called immediately. If not, it will be queued and sent to the next free worker that becomes available.
The request will already have been serialised by the marshaller, so it will be safe to modify any referenced data structures in the arguments after this call returns.
%params hash takes the following keys:
$function->call( %params )
When not returning a future, the
on_return and
on_error arguments give continuations to handle successful results or failure.
- on_result => CODE
A continuation that is invoked when the code has been executed. If the code returned normally, it is called as:
$on_result->( 'return', @values )
If the code threw an exception, or some other error occured such as a closed connection or the process died, it is called as:
$on_result->( 'error', $exception_name )
- on_return => CODE and on_error => CODE
An alternative to
on_result. Two continuations to use in either of the circumstances given above. They will be called directly, without the leading 'return' or 'error' value.
$count = $function->workers
Returns the total number of worker processes available
$count = $function->workers_busy
Returns the number of worker processes that are currently busy
$count = $function->workers_idle
Returns the number of worker processes that are currently idle
For the record, 123454321 is 11111 * 11111, a square number, and therefore not prime.

In recent weeks, revolution in the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv has given way to Russian intervention in the Crimean peninsula—a Ukrainian region with deep historical and national ties to Russia. Not only is Crimea home to Yalta, Feodosia and other sun-drenched resort communities that have catered to the Russian aristocracy since the time of the tsars, but the Crimean citadel of Sevastopol has also served as the base of Russia's Black Sea Fleet in the imperial, Soviet and now post-Soviet eras.
If current tensions devolve into an actual "hot" war, it would not be the first Russian war in Crimea. Indeed, for many Russians, a victorious reclamation of the Black Sea peninsula—whether by means of Tuesday's treaty or by violence—would help bury the ghosts of an ill-conceived, disorganized and festering 19th-century conflict that has made Crimea, for Russians, practically synonymous with disaster.
Story Continued Below
Not so well-known is that a principal cause of Russia's embarrassing defeat in the (first?) Crimean War (1853-1856) was the country's age-old vice: alcohol. From the inebriate and undisciplined peasant conscripts to their inept, corrupt and often even more soused army commanders, the lackluster military that Russia put into the field in Crimea was the unhappy product of the imperial state's centuries-long promotion of a vodka trade that had become the tsars' greatest source of revenue.
Russia's road to war was muddled and chaotic. When Tsar Nicholas I ascended the throne in December 1825 after the death of one elder brother and the abdication of a second, a drunken Petersburg mob of liberal-minded "Decembrists" dared challenge his legitimacy, demanding the replacement of Russia's absolutism with a British-style constitutional monarchy. Without hesitation, the young tsar violently dispatched these liberal revolutionaries, but even so, the threat of European liberalism weighed heavily on Nicholas, who hardened into an ardent defender of conservative autocracy, even going so far as to send Russian troops to Hungary in 1849 to crush the liberal uprisings there. The tsar's own geopolitical ambitions focused on the declining Ottoman Empire to the south, which he had famously dubbed "the sick man of Europe." Armed with the pretext of defending their Orthodox brothers living in the Ottoman Empire, in 1853, Russian imperial forces pushed into the Ottoman principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia along the Danube in present-day Romania.
Fearing what an Ottoman collapse would do to the European balance of power, Britain, France, and Sardinia soon sided with the Ottoman Turks against Russia, and by mid-1854 had dealt Russia a series of embarrassing military defeats that forced Nicholas to abandon his newly claimed principalities along the lower Danube. But that was not the end of hostilities, as the allied forces turned their attention to Sevastopol in the Crimean to destroy Russia's Black Sea Fleet, which, they reasoned, left-unchecked would continue to threaten the Ottoman Empire, the Dardanelles and the Mediterranean beyond. So, in 1854, the allies landed their forces well north of the Crimean port city and marched southward to take it.
While the allies besieged the Russian positions, the Russian soldiers——"in high spirits"——besieged the vodka.
One enlisted Pole fighting for the Russians, Robert Adolf Chodasiewicz, wrote a gripping firsthand account of the Russians' first clash with the allies at the Battle of the Alma River, the first major engagement in the Crimean War. There, the cocksure commander Prince Aleksandr Menshikov invited the ladies of Sevastopol to join him in watching Russia's certain victory from a nearby hilltop. Meanwhile, his troops sensed impending disaster.
"Why?" asked Chodasiewicz.
"As if you don't know as well as I do!" One veteran explained: "We are to have no vodka, and how can we fight without it?" The others all agreed.
Why were the men denied their daily combat ration of bread, meat, a garnet of beer and two charkas—good-sized cupfuls—of vodka? "Our worthy Colonel thought it advisable to put the money in his own pocket, remarking that half these fellows will be killed, so it will be only a waste to give them vodka," Chodasiewicz wrote.
Soldiers denied their charkas could still get liquor from merchants in nearby towns, from corrupt officers or, occasionally, by pure happenstance. Chodasiewicz's regiment, for instance, was "saved" from sobriety when the canteen man, in charge of safeguarding the vodka stores, fled the field as soon as bullets started flying. While the allies besieged the Russian positions, the Russian soldiers—"in high spirits"—besieged the vodka.
Kiryakov stumbled to his feet and, bottle of champagne in hand, ordered his Minsk regiment to open fire on his own Kiev Hussars.
The officers were often just as drunk and confused as their troops: "During the five hours that the battle went on we neither saw nor heard of our general of division, or brigadier, or colonel," Chodasiewicz wrote. "We did not during the whole time receive any orders from them either to advance or to retire; and when we retired, nobody knew whether we ought to go to the right or left."
Not even the army high command was sober. While he was supposed to be commanding the left flank of the Russian defenses in the face of an allied attack, Lt. Gen. Vasily Kiryakov was instead presiding over a raucous champagne party. At one point, Kiryakov, described by Russian military historian Evgeny V. Tarle as "utterly ignorant, totally devoid of any military ability and rarely in a completely sober state," stumbled to his feet and—bottle of champagne in hand—ordered his Minsk regiment to open fire on what he thought was the French cavalry. But the "French cavalry" was actually his own Kiev Hussars, who were decimated by the barrage. Justifiably enraged, the Hussar commander had to be physically restrained from running Kiryakov through with his sword.

Politics & Government
House Republicans struggle to agree on budget cuts
WASHINGTON—In a stunning breakdown of Republican unity, House leaders failed Thursday to muster enough votes to pass $50 billion in budget savings, their ranks torn between moderate and conservative wings that rejected pleas for party discipline.
The GOP leaders, faced as well with unified Democratic opposition, were forced to pull the budget bill off the House floor rather than see it defeated.
At the same time, rebellion by Sen. Olympia Snowe, a moderate Republican from Maine, blocked the Senate Finance Committee from approving a $70 billion tax-cut package, another Republican priority.
The disruptive rifts in Republican ranks in Congress underscored the changing political landscape in Washington, as President Bush's popularity is waning and the governing party faces mounting public opposition on everything from the war in Iraq to sky-high gasoline prices.
In addition, Democratic victories and Republican defeats in Tuesday's elections signaled to Republican moderates that voters may be tiring of hard-edged conservatism, stiffening the moderates' spines and will to challenge the leaders.
The House leadership's failure to pass budget cuts came even after Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Ill., agreed to placate moderate Republicans by removing a provision authorizing oil drilling in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR)—a provision long sought by the Bush administration but opposed by environmentalists.
The abandonment of ANWR outraged some Republican conservatives, who threatened to oppose the bill. Yet the move still didn't mollify some Republican moderates, who thought the proposed $50 billion in spending cuts over five years concentrated too heavily on social programs that serve the old and the poor.
In addition, House Democrats, in a firm display of unity, had been prepared to vote against the budget-reduction package unanimously.
Together they sank the measure.
Acting House Majority Leader Roy Blunt, R-Mo., said that "it's possible, I'd like to say likely" that the leadership would bring the bill back up next week. But the difficulty of assembling a majority in the now-fractious House was beyond argument.
"We weren't ready to go to the floor yet," Blunt acknowledged.
It was a rare concession. For most of Bush's presidency, the Republican-controlled House has led the way on Bush initiatives—voting in near lockstep and acting as a bulwark against the Senate's more-moderate tendencies.
But recent polls put Bush's job-approval ratings at record lows, and House GOP leaders find themselves working for votes without their most effective disciplinarian—former Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas, who had to give up his leadership post when he was indicted on charges related to laundering illegal political contributions.
"The leadership is a little fragmented at this point, and they're dealing with both ends of the rainbow," said Rep. Michael Castle, R-Del., referring to the pressure from conservatives and moderates.
The ANWR issue was pivotal. With 26 moderate Republicans threatening to join Democrats in voting against the budget bill if it included the oil-drilling provision, the GOP leaders agreed to remove it.
That prompted an outcry from drilling supporters, several of whom threatened to vote against the bill if ANWR was removed. Among them was Rep. Joe Barton, R-Texas, the chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee.
"How I vote on final passage right now is between me and my Maker," Barton said at midday, before the leadership pulled the plug on the bill.
The House Republican setback came on the same day that a key Senate committee failed to get agreement on nearly $70 billion in proposed tax cuts over five years—another Republican priority. The Finance Committee put off action on the tax package after Snowe declined to support it. No Democrat on the panel supports it.
Finance Committee Chairman Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, who tried to negotiate an agreement between Snowe and conservatives, summed up his dilemma and, seemingly, those of House Republicans as well, when he said: "If I move one way, I lose a couple votes. If I move another way, I lose a couple votes."
The House budget fight was prompted by conservative activists clamoring for Congress to restrain spending. Many conservatives complain that the bill's $50 billion savings over five years was a pittance when budget deficits top $300 billion annually. But Democrats and moderates argued that many cuts targeted programs for the poor.
The Senate version would cut spending by only $35 billion over five years. It includes drilling in ANWR. If the House approves $50 billion in spending cuts without the oil-drilling provision, the two bills would have to be reconciled in a joint House-Senate conference, then passed in each chamber anew.
House GOP leaders said there were no guarantees that the House-Senate conferees would not put ANWR drilling back in.
"We take this issue on one vote at a time," said Rep. David Drier, R-Calif., a member of the leadership team. "Every single one of the members involved in the discussion that we had on exploration of ANWR understood that very, very well."
But Republican ANWR opponents said that if ANWR drilling is in the final House-Senate version, they would vote against the budget bill.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Obama on Saturday is gathering together top aides and state and local officials impacted by Superstorm Sandy as he continues to monitor the government's response to the weather disaster, the White House said.
Obama will convene a meeting with his team in the morning, to be joined by telephone by officials including Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and Federal Emergency Management Administrator Craig Fugate, as well as other members of the Cabinet, also will participate.
Following the meetings, administration officials will visit storm-damaged communities throughout the affected region to view response efforts firsthand, and make sure necessary resources are being provided.
Housing Secretary Shaun Donovan will visit public housing developments in the Rockaways and tour Breezy Point, N.Y. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius will visit hospital workers, residents impacted by the storm, and local officials in the Manhattan and Brooklyn boroughs of New York City. Small Business Administrator Karen Mills will join Malloy and other state and local officials and small business owners in Norwalk and Bridgeport, Conn.
Napolitano will travel to West Virginia and Long Island, N.Y. The president's chief counterterrorism adviser, John Brennan, will join officials from FEMA, the Transportation Department and the Army Corps of Engineers in Hoboken, Newark, and Jersey City, N.J., as well as Staten Island, N.Y.

How do I apply for readmissions?
Please start by complete the Request Information form.
What are the testing requirements for readmission?
A candidate for readmission must either demonstrate that they already meet the entrance test requirement for admission in effect at the time of readmission or retest to achieve that minimum entrance score. However, a student seeking readmission whose prior record indicates entrance scores below the current standard but who has attempted 36 or more credits, has a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.50, and has a completion rate of 65 percent of the hours attempted, will be readmitted on the basis of the previous enrollment and will not be required to submit new entrance test scores.
How soon could I return?
You can return the next starting term as long as you are academically eligible and have completed the financial aid process. You can apply for online courses at any time.
When should I submit my readmission application?
Applications for readmission should be submitted at least one month before the beginning of the quarter the student plans to return.
It's been less than one year since I was enrolled at South University. Do I have to reapply?
Students seeking re-entry after an absence of less than a year, may resume their previous program curriculum, or if a curriculum change has occurred since their original start date, they may opt to move to the new program curriculum.
It's been more than one year since I was enrolled at South University. Can I resume my previous curriculum?
Students seeking readmission after an absence of one year or longer must enroll in the new program curriculum.
Are there any exceptions to reapplication requirements?
Requests for exceptions to the program enrollment requirement may be submitted to the Dean of Academic Affairs and Operations for campus programs or Program Director for online programs.
How do I find out the status of my student loans?
You should contact your lender. If you do not know who your lender is, contact a Student Loan Advisor or Financial Aid Officer who assisted you when you last attended.
How do I find out if I have a balance due?
You should contact the Accounting Office at the school you last attended.
Will credits transfer to other locations?
The South University campus location where you desire to transfer would make that determination based on receiving and reviewing an official transcript from your former school.
Can I switch my program?
Yes. Discuss this decision with your Academic Advisor and/or the Departmental Director prior to changing your major/program.
How do I know if I am in good academic standing?
You can contact your Registrar and/or your Departmental Director.
Will all my credits earned still be valid?
It depends on when the credits were earned and other criteria. We recommend that you speak to your Academic Advisor and/or Departmental Director to review your academic record with you.
Can I transfer credits back to South University?
If you have attended another school or college since last attending South University, you should contact the Admissions Office at the South University location you wish to return to and they will explain the school policy on transfer of credits, post-matriculation.
Can I return if I was dismissed from school?
If you were dismissed from school and now desire to get back into school, you should speak to the Student Affairs Office at your school. They can assist you with the specific appeal procedures at that location. The University reserves the right to deny re-entry or readmission to any applicant who has an unacceptable academic or conduct record.
Are there any fees associated with returning?
There are no readmission fees if you are returning within one year from your last date of attendance. However, if you have been out of school for more than one year, you should contact the Admissions Office of your South University location to discuss any associated fees, admission criteria, and other pertinent admission information. Students with outstanding financial obligations to the University must make arrangements with the business office before they will be allowed to matriculate.

Polar Regions
Climate change, the Polar Regions and Polar Bears
The first real symptoms of a warming planet can be seen in the Polar Regions. Antarctica and the Arctic are melting quicker than scientists had predicted. The ice is now thinner and the Arctic winter is now shorter. What does this mean for the people and animals that live there?
In the Arctic we have seen the first communities become environmental refugees. What this means is people who live in the Arctic have to move as the ice melts, the sea level rises and floods their homes. A big concern for these people is that their culture will be lost because they will be moved away from each other to other parts of the region or country.
Species of animal whose habitat is being hugely affected by climate change in the Arctic is the Polar Bear.
Polar Bears are strong swimmers and can swim for several hours at a time. However we are now seeing Polar Bears drowning. This happens because they have to swim further between ice floats. Polar Bears use the ice floats in the water to hunt for food, mainly seals. As there is less ice the bears have to swim further causing them to get tired. The ice is also thinner so it can't hold the polar bears weight.
Due to an increase in temperature the ice breaks up and melts faster therefore shortening the hunting season for the bears. By having a shorter hunting season means the bears are not getting enough food which they need to store as fat on their bodies to help them survive till the next hunting season. This is a big concern for female Polar Bears. The females need lots of body fat to make milk to feed her cubs. If she doesn't have enough fat to produce milk her cubs could starve. Also a fertilised egg inside a female will be absorbed into her body if there is not enough body fat. This means the population of polar bears will decrease.
Another issue due to the increase of warmer temperatures is that there is not enough snow and ice to make maternity dens for female bears and her cubs. This shelter is needed to protect Polar Bear cubs from the harsh climate.
Having a shorter hunting season also affects other animals in the region. Polar Bears catch seals and eat only the skin and blubber leaving the rest for other animals in the area to feed on.
Some facts about Polar Bears are:
They have black skin,
Their tongue is purple,
Their hair is actually clear and with a hollow core,
They can swim for several hours at a time,
They can smell up to 32kms away,
Polar bears can live in snow and in warmer temperatures,
Females grow to about 350kg and males grow to about 700kg,
A paw of a bear is about 30cms wide.
If climate change continues polar bears will become extinct by the end of this century. It has been suggested that Polar bears can adapt and live as other bears do but it would take a long time for that to happen and they do not have enough time!

Improving the U.S. patent system.
For an invention to be patentable, it must, along with being useful and nonobvious, be novel enough to differ from what is called "prior art." Applying those definitions to laboratory discoveries has become one of the most challenging aspects in the patent field, dividing experts from industry, academia, government and law.
For scientists, patents complete the bench-to-bedside process by bridging the gap between basic research and industrial commercialization. Yet there is concern that patents on scientific discoveries impede research by instituting legal and procedural barriers that limit access to materials, thereby hindering experiments and preventing the advancement of knowledge. While a 2006 report from the National Research Council concluded that "access to patented inventions or information inputs into biomedical research rarely imposes a significant burden for biomedical researchers," there are several examples that indicate otherwise.
The Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation holds patents on several of the initial human embryonic stem cell lines derived by University of Wisconsin researcher James Thompson in 1998 as well as certain techniques used in the derivation process of the cells. Researchers in the field protested that the patents imposed a significant administrative burden on their work, requiring them to file loads of paperwork just to use the cell lines or attempt to derive their own lines. The patents eventually were appealed on the basis of not differing enough from techniques used for the derivation of mouse embryonic stem cells that already were in the public domain. After a succession of court challenges, the WARF patents finally were overturned in May.
Defining what constitutes patentable material remains a challenge. Consider gene patenting: After the advent of cloning in the 1970s, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1980 that products of genetic engineering were eligible to be patented, allowing groups to file patents for individual genes over the objections of researchers who argued that products of nature should not be patentable. This ruling went virtually unchallenged until last year, when a federal judge ruled in favor of a consortium of advocacy groups, scientists and patients looking to invalidate patents held by Myriad Genetics for two breast cancer genes. After the company appealed, the U.S. Department of Justice surprisingly filed a brief stating its support for the plaintiffs, a drastic change in policy that is encouraging for basic scientists.
Patents do hold beneficial value. In addition to sparking creativity and protecting innovation, patents also represent a quantitative measure of intellectual capital. By this measure, the U.S. is far ahead of the rest of the world; it has been granted twice as many biology-related patents from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in 2008 as every other country combined. The U.S. also was awarded nearly 10 percent of patents granted by the European Patent Office in 2009, the same number as Germany, the most productive European Union country. A major source of American innovation has been universities, which have dramatically increased their filings since passage of the federal Bayh-Dole Act in 1980, which allowed academic institutions to claim intellectual property rights from work carried out on their premises using federal funding.
The fiscal 2011 budget was finally passed by Congress in April, with approximately $38 billion in cuts made from the previous year. $260 million was cut from the NIH budget, $50 million from the facilities and maintenance budget, with the remaining cuts likely to be spread across the 27 institutes. Sources indicate it is likely that extramural research will not be affected by these cuts. $53 million was cut from the NSF budget, $43 million from research-related programs and $10 million from educational programs.
Even acknowledging these advantages, the American system has its flaws, some of which finally are being addressed. The National Academies released a study last year that recommended updating the Bayh-Dole Act to promote sharing of technologies while de-emphasizing any potential financial gains from university-based intellectual property. Meanwhile, Congress is working to change the American patent system from a first-to-invent system to the first-to-file setup that is used by the rest of the world. The move theoretically will decrease costs and improve efficiency in the patent process by removing the need to prove priority of invention and streamline transnational patent filings. Across the Atlantic Ocean, the EU also is trying to remove barriers between countries, recently voting to create a unified patent that would cover all of its 27 constituent members, thereby removing the need for inventors to file patent applications with each individual country. As legislators and bureaucrats continue to refine and improve the patent system, scientists can turn their focus back to what they do best: science.

New Publisher Named for Midland Reporter-Telegram and Plainview Daily Herald
New York–Hearst Newspapers has announced Michael Distelhorst has been named publisher of the Midland Reporter-Telegram and Plainview Daily Herald. The announcement was made by Hearst Newspapers President Mark Aldam and Hearst Community Newspapers Group Publisher Lucy Talley.
Distelhorst will have responsibility for the business and operating performance of Hearst's West Texas Community Newspapers, including the Midland Reporter-Telegram, Plainview Daily Herald, Canyon News and Muleshoe Journal. Distelhorst replaces David Wedel, who has assumed new responsibilities as director of accounting for Hearst Newspapers, based in San Antonio.
"Mike's experience transforming traditional newspaper environments into profitable print and digital sales organizations will bring exciting opportunities for our West Texas papers," Aldam said. "His sales and marketing experience will greatly help us boost digital advertising revenue and improve customers' experience with the Reporter-Telegram and Daily Herald."
Distelhorst joins Hearst from the Amarillo Globe-News, where he served as vice president of advertising and revenue development since 2008. Prior to that, he was the general manager of Southwest Marketing Partners from 2007 to 2008, and the publisher of Swift Communications' niche publications from 2006 to 2007. Earlier in his career, he served as associate publisher/advertising director of the Greeley Tribune and advertising director at The Hutchinson News.
"Mike has great energy and plenty of hands-on media leadership that will be a strong asset at Hearst," Talley said. "I look forward to working with him to secure the future success of our West Texas outlets—in print and across digital platforms."

How to Make Siri Smarter with Your iPhone 4S
From settings on your iPhone 4S, you can tell Siri which language you want to converse in. Out of the gate, Siri was available in English (United States, United Kingdom, or Australian), French, and German.
You can also request voice feedback from Siri all the time, or just when you're using a hands-free headset.
In the My Info field in Settings, you can tell Siri who you are. When you tap My Info, your Contacts list appears. Tap your own name in Contacts.
As noted, you can call upon Siri even from the Lock screen. That's the default setting anyway. Consider this feature a mixed blessing. Not having to type a passcode to get Siri to do her thing is convenient. On the other hand, if your phone ends up with the wrong person, he or she would be able to use Siri to make a call, send an e-mail, or send a message in your name, bypassing whatever passcode security you thought was in place. Apple may close this loophole, but if they don't get around to it and you find this potential scenario scary, tap Settings→General→Passcode Lock. Then enter your passcode and switch the Siri option under Passcode Lock from On to Off.
