Mark Reynolds was a component of the YankeesBand-Support roster inside 2013, as Joe Girardi frantically plugged holes in just a lineup that would not avoid leaking with injury. Reynolds seemed within just simply just 36 video games for the Yanks that period ahead of shifting upon toward the Brewers inside 2014, trying to keep up with his journeyman character.The infielder was very little unique for the Yanks in just 2013, selling the occasional residence work in just concerning a flurry of strikeouts. Reynolds includes been infamous for his all-or-very little technique at the plate for highest of his occupation, yet feel it or not, he practically confirmed progress inside of the speak to section previous period.2016 Studies: 118 G, 441 PA,14 HR, 53 RBI, 99 wRC+Age upon Opening Working day 2017: 33Posture: InfieldReynolds https://www.brewerssportsshop.com/Brett_Phillips_Apparel-32. batting typical within 2016 was the utmost of his occupation, as was his .356 OBP. Once an abysmal 2014 marketing campaign which observed him short article a .196 batting ordinary earlier mentioned 130 video games with the Brewers, Reynolds contains been slowly and gradually bettering his course of action at the plate and doing away with some of the numerous holes inside his swing.Sure, 112 strikeouts is even now a good deal, yet it is in addition the cheapest mark of his vocation, as was his strikeout proportion . Nevertheless, the advancement inside of hitting for call and acquiring foundation in excess of the last 2 a long time is aiding. Reynolds signed a a person-yr package with the Rockies very last December for $2.6 million, an cost-effective expense for a participant who can be introduced aboard for 1 calendar year of support yet again this period https://www.brewerssportsshop.com/Jhoulys_Chacin_Apparel-53.The Yankees are on the lookout for short-term providers specifically at present inside obtain toward retain by themselves upon the border of aggressive although they progress their rebuild. A person-yr discounts for serviceable gamers suit their present recreation system, considerably including the acquisition of Matt Holliday. Reynolds would not be the similar offensive increase as Holliday of class, yet he could increase some pop in direction of a staff that may well track down on their own starved for dwelling operates Chris Capuano Jersey.Reynoldsslugging proportion, OPS, and OPS+ within 2016 were being his most marks inside of all those classes mainly because 2011, Even though Reynolds strike 37 house operates with the Orioles. If Reynolds was continue to an all-or-practically nothing sort of participant batting in this article, he could possibly be glanced earlier mentioned. Sad to say, his greater electric power towards buy upon foundation together with some becoming pop in just his bat features him some prospective upside.As with any hitter versus Colorado while, the maximum crucial wonder is whether or not or not Reynolds2016 figures had been an illusion brought on via the hitter paradise of Coors Market. He strike inside of 59 property game titles and within 59 online games upon the highway, however a small advancement versus his general 2015 figures . Regrettably, the difference inside of plate willpower is not as clear within the highway studies, as his absent strikeout price of 27.9% was nearly comparable toward the 28% sum mark in just 2015. Yankee Stadium is a best destination toward strike much too, however the Coors Influence is a issue no matter.Inside addition in the direction of the bat, Reynolds contains the electric power towards fill within at initially foundation for Greg Fowl, who is coming off of hefty surgical treatment. He considerably towards Mark Teixeira within just the market, still he consists of significantly added knowledge there than Holliday, who merely includes 10 occupation video games at to start with. Absolutely sure, Tyler Austin is an answer in direction of fill within just as very well, however if Girardi is wanting for a in all probability much better electricity possibility, Reynolds may be that person.Though signing Holliday most likely crammed any prospective vacation spot for Reynolds upon the roster, he continues to be an interesting bench applicant. At 33 a long time previous, a surprising bodily reduction is not a significant problem for a just one-yr determination, if the Yankees make your mind up towards move that course. The Giants include not too long ago expressed notice in just the totally free consultant, thus should really the Yankees adhere to healthy?

Does your business still have a traditional telephone service? If so, you're living in the dark ages! Standard telephone services don't have anything on hosted VoIP services, providing that you choose the right service to meet your needs.
First of all, a standard telephone service is just a standard telephone service; it can't offer you all of the great features of a hosted VoIP service. A hosted service can provide auto telephone attendants to answer calls when it's not convenient (or cost effective!) for a live answerer to do so. These services can also provide voice mail, caller identification and tracking, call routing, directories to help callers reach the right person, call forwarding, call recording, and so much more. Obviously, it's important for you to know what features your business requires; when you know that information ahead of time, you can easily find a hosted VoIP service that offers all of the features you need to help your business run as smoothly and as efficiently as possible.
With so many excellent features, you would think that a hosted VoIP service would be a lot more expensive than a standard telephone service, but, surprisingly, that's actually not the case at all. As mentioned above, hosted VoIP services allow for much of the work to be done by automated systems, rather than by actual people, meaning you don't have to pay an actual person to provide your necessary services. In fact, most hosted services simply charge a low monthly rate per user. Contracts vary from provider to provider but do not have to be very long-term in nature. And, surprisingly, you also don't need a lot of equipment, if any, on-site; in fact, with some plans, you don't need any equipment in your office at all, further minimizing costs. A good provider will talk to you about your individual needs and will match you with a service that is specifically tailored to those needs, making finding the perfect plan (and the perfect price!) a breeze.
Another good thing about hosted VoIP services is that they can handle a very large call volume. The goal of any company is to grow and expand, and if you're reaching that goal, you may find that your old, standard telephone service doesn't work for you anymore. A good VoIP service, however, will! Plus, you don't have to hire a local VoIP service; no, these services can offer you assistance from anywhere and at anytime, making them convenient and capable of meeting your needs even as those needs change. With so many great reasons to make the switch to a hosted VoIP service, what are you waiting for?

Not this time around either apparently as I had already jumped into my booties by the time I managed to bring the camera out. Speaking of these Dolce heels, I've received so many mails from you readers about where to find them, and I can gladly tell you they stock same style model at Net-a-Porter right now.

Columbus State and Reynoldsburg begin new shared services to benefit community
Final touches are being put on Columbus State's newest Regional Learning Center, located inside Reynoldsburg High School. The unique partnership benefits both institutions and the community.

Stakeholders in the project were given a tour of the facility November 29. Those attending included President Harrison, Ohio Chancellor Jim Petro; Michael Sawyers, Ohio Department of Education Acting Superintendent; and Steve Dackin, Reynoldsburg Superintendent.
Ohio Governor John Kasich and the Ohio Board of Regents have been encouraging educators to think outside the box to share resources and improve student success. This partnership--the first of its kind in central Ohio--meets that challenge.
Reynoldsburg is providing the space and Columbus State will provide faculty and staff. For the renovation project, Reynoldsburg picked up $1.6 million for most of the construction while Columbus State provided about $1 million for furnishings.
In the end, the project saves taxpayer money since Columbus State will operate rent free. The new Reynoldsburg Learning Center allows the college to end a lease at its nearby center in Groveport saving more than $150,000 annually in rent and utilities.
"This is the model for the 21st-century doorway to higher education and the pathway for a better-educated workforce in Central Ohio," said Dr. Harrison.
"It is a classic 'win-win' situation for students, the schools and the community," said Steve Dackin, Reynoldsburg superintendent. "Together, we create more opportunities for students at lower costs for everyone."
The Reynoldsburg Regional Learning Center has six "smart" classrooms, four computer labs, a chemistry lab, a patient care classroom, a library and offices.
Classes will begin January 14. This spring, the Reynoldsburg BELL Early College Academy students will begin taking their first college courses in the center. Next autumn, dual enrollment high school students in Reynoldsburg will take classes at the center.
A formal open house for the community is planned for January.
Columbus State and OSU Marion team up for food drive
After successful food drives the past two years on the Columbus State Delaware Campus, organizers teamed up for a third year with Ohio State University Marion to make it bigger than ever. Organizer and associate professor Rick Bartlett reports that they collected 2,616 items - more than twice the original goal! They also received a total of $200 in monetary donations. The items were loaded up November 30 at Moeller Hall and delivered to People In Need, Inc. of Delaware County.
Columbus State's basketball teams aiming high as season begins
Coach Pat Carlisle
Coach Joel Renner
Coming off a successful 25-5 record, the Cougars want to make it back to the national tournament after missing a bid last season. The men's team is now 7-2 for the season. The recent victory over Cedarville's JV team marked head coach Pat Carlisle's 150th career win at Columbus State vs. 48 Loses. That's the most wins for a junior college coach in Ohio over the past six years.
That winning record – which included taking the team to the Div. II national runner up position in 2008 – has not gone unnoticed. This fall, a coaching website ranked Carlisle at No. 14 in the nation for all junior college coaches, divisions I, II and III. See the game schedule here.
Joel Renner returns for his second season as head coach of the Lady Cougars and he's not wasting any time. With an impressive 9 – 1 start to the season, they're currently ranked No. 19 in the nation in the latest National Junior College Athletic Association Div. II poll.
"When I took over as head coach last year, the coaches and current sophomores began a commitment to excellence both in and out of the classroom," said Renner. "They continuously strive to improve every aspect of the program. You can see the women's team schedule here. The Lady Cougars play next on Wednesday at 7 p.m. against Ohio Christian University.
Get in the game!
The Delaware Gymnasium has been turning into a melting pot of staff and students every Thursday for weekly soccer match ups. They're open to anyone on campus. The games begin around noontime each Thursday and last about 90 minutes. Drop in anytime and join the game! See highlights in this video clip:

At least five people are dead and many more injured after a terror attack which saw a hijacked lorry plough into pedestrians in Stockholm.
Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Lofven said it appeared the crash was "a terror attack" and the country's intelligence service said there was "a large number of injured".
Mr Lofven said a suspect had been arrested in connection with the attack.
Blood stains were visible on the streets along with bodies covered in blankets in the aftermath of the incident.
Paramedics could also be seen tending to the injured near the lorry, which was embedded in the corner of a shopping mall with its cab burning.
The incident was in Drottninggatan, a street in a busy shopping district in the centre of the Swedish capital.
The attack comes after trucks were used in terror attacks in Nice and Berlin last year and just two weeks after Muslim convert Khalid Masood ploughed his car into pedestrians on Westminster Bridge in London.

DAMASCUS, Syria, Aug. 3 (UPI) -- The U.N. Security Council Wednesday condemned the Syrian government for its violent crackdown on demonstrators as Syrian tanks parked in central Hama.
The council's action came after Syrian President Bashar Assad's military defied international pressure and launched new attacks Wednesday on Hama, a hub for the movement seeking to oust the regime, The Wall Street Journal reported.
The council, which hadn't been able to agree on the severity of its response, reached a compromise Wednesday and condemned the "widespread violations of human rights and the use of force against civilians by the Syrian authorities" in a statement that doesn't include any enforceable demands or sanctions, diplomats said.
The United States and Western allies on the council had sought a resolution, which has the force of international law, against Assad's regime, while other countries, such as Russia, urged the council adopt a statement.
The action fell short of protesters' hopes, the Journal said.
"It's unfortunate that after 1,810 deaths, for which we have documented names, and tens of thousands of detainees, this is the strongest language they were able to come up with," said Omar Idlibi, a spokesman for the opposition group Local Coordination Committees, based in Beirut. "But we weren't expecting a stronger statement, and it's a good entry point for the international community."
Syrian tanks, after spending three days at the edge of Hama, moved to the city center Wednesday. Witnesses and activists said they saw three tanks positioned at Assi Square and snipers on nearby rooftops.
The number of casualties and injuries was uncertain, the Journal said.
Insan, a Syria-focused rights group based in Europe, accounted for 10 people killed and 86 injured by late morning, but said it hadn't receive any more information throughout the day.
"We don't have a clue about how many were killed after that, but by 2 p.m. we had reports of bodies lying on the streets," said Wissam Tarif, Insan's executive director.
The government cut off telecommunications links early Wednesday and turned off water supplies to the city's main tanks in the afternoon, residents and activists said.
"It's a disaster," said one resident of Hama reached by telephone after cellphone communications appeared to be restored. The resident told the Journal houses were "flattened to the ground" in the city's Hamidiya neighborhood.
The city is running out of food and supplies, a resident told CNN.
"In a couple days, this will be a major humanitarian issue," the resident said.
Since Sunday, at least 140 people have been killed, mainly in Hama, as the Syrian government tries to quell dissent. Assad has pledged reforms but has blamed the violence on "armed gangs" propped up by foreign governments it has not named.
On Tuesday, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said Assad lost "all sense of humanity."
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton expressed sympathy for all victims of the Assad regime's abuse during a meeting Tuesday with a group of U.S.-based Syrian activists.
The United States will support Syrians "in their efforts to begin a peaceful and orderly transition to democracy in Syria and to have their aspirations realized," Clinton said. "We have nothing invested in the continuation of a regime that must kill, imprison and torture its own citizens to maintain power."

Happy Monday to all. This week's Medical Monday question comes from J.C. Martin. She asks:
"In one of my WIPs, a guy gets electrocuted in the bathtub. What would the body look like? Would there be blisters? Would the hair be frizzy if his head is out of the water? Would there be a smell of burnt flesh in the air? And if the man was wearing some metal jewelery that was also unsubmerged, would it burn a mark on his skin?"
Okay, well forensics is not my area of expertise, so I had to do a bit of research for this answer. I'll also qualify this answer with the fact that though I got an A in physics, I hated it. So I forgot it as quickly as possible. Hence, my physics is pretty rusty right now.
So in a bathtub-electrocution scenario, an electrical appliance falling into a tub will cause an electrical current that will want to get grounded to the earth. The current will go through the water (pure water itself isn't a great conductor, but becomes good when mixed with minerals from Poor Victim's salty skin, or if the water is heavily mineralized to begin with).
Poor Victim isn't a great conductor either, but in water, his skin's conductivity increases. So the current goes through the water, through Poor Victim, and boom. He's electrocuted. Now, it's not a huge shock, but he probably can't get out of the tub. And if the electrical appliance doesn't shut off, the current continues.
How will Poor Victim die? The current, if running through his chest (say, submerged below the waterline) may cause his heart to fibrillate and eventually stop. That's death possibility #1.
He also might be stunned enough that he won't be able to get out of the tub, slip under, and drown. That's death possibility #2.
What would the coroner find? Possibly the following:
- blistering on the body
- no obvious entrance and exit electrical wound (often called joule marks), as the whole body was conducting electricity. Unless--Poor Victim had touched a metal faucet and the exit occurred that way.
- No hair frizziness. That's more often seen in hi voltage accidents.
- No jewelry burns, same as the hair stuff.
- A pale colored line, possibly with blisters, around the body at the water level ("border-zone-phenomenon")
- No burned flesh smell)
- +/- Evidence of drowning (water in the lung)
- blood pooling on the lower parts of the body
And I used Wikipedia to brush up on my amps, currents, volts, resistances, electric shocks...
Have a shocking Monday. Er. On second thought, don't!

I was on a flight from Paris to New York on June 24 with 3 TAR teams - 2 young guys, 2 african american women and a man & woman. At ticketing, my friend asked the two african american women what tv show it was for. One of them answered, "You don't need to worry about it, just move out of the way". We wound up sitting in the bulkhead between business class and coach, near the bathrooms. The man from the man/woman team came over to us and asked if we knew where The News Building was in New York City - he even showed us the clue. We tried our best to help him out - even gave him some money. We asked him lots of questions, most of which he couldn't divulge. Can't wait for the season to start.
Here's answers to everyone's questions and some back story:Air France flight 8600 from Charles DeGalle to JKF. Departed 6/24 @ 825amWhile walking thru airport to get to the right terminal I spotted two rugged-looking young guys, a camera man and what looked like a production person. When we got to the terminal and checked in, the agent said they had overbooked the flight and would we mind being bumped to a later flight in exchange for $150 voucher, which we agreed to. However, the agent said we might still be on that flight and to check back later. We went to cash our vouchers at the ticketing office and the two young guys were there with a stack of passports, which I assume is for themselves and the crew that travels with them. When we went back to see if we were going to be on the first flight, we saw the two guys in line to check in and that's when we saw the african american women with their own cameraman. When we were called up by an agent, my friend walked in front of the camera, asked her question and got rebuffed. We found out that we were going to be on the first flight and after checking our baggage, left walking in front of the camera again.From what I could tell, each team has their own camera man and sound guy. Plus there's someone that looks like a production person, but I'm not sure if there's one for every team.It's difficult to tell from the pictures that have been posted if they are the ones I saw - the african american women for sure, the man/woman team in blue is a possibility.Hope that answers covers it.
Thanks for replying jlaw ..I know nothing about airlines but a quick google ..for example .Fri, May 26 8:25am Depart - Paris de Gaulle, France (CDG) Delta Air Lines 8600 operated by AIR FRANCE Adult Fare Rules 10:15am Arrive - New York-Kennedy, NY (JFK) Nonstop Flight time: 7 hrs 50 min Total Travel Time: 15 hrs 20 min source
Could you remember an Asian team ot Asian man jlaw?
Getting out of a cab that was from Newark (which made it stand out more from the traditional NYC cabs).
It's not that we don't believe you jlaw , you can't blame us for being sceptical ..if you could give us something . Any chance you still have your ticket or reciept or something ?
The man from the man/woman team came over to us and asked if we knew where The News Building was in New York City - he even showed us the clue.
QuoteThe man from the man/woman team came over to us and asked if we knew where The News Building was in New York City - he even showed us the clue.Thanks Jlaw for all of the info. You went over and beyond what you needed to. I don't know why Puddin was so mean to you. She's usually quite nice. All, This feels like a decoy to me. The African American women team was also reported to have shown the same clue to someone in New York City. Racers are not supposed to show their clues and call attention to themselves. The last time I recall this happening was in Toronto during TAR8. Those occurrences turned out to be decoys.
Quote from: Mid-town spoilerGetting out of a cab that was from Newark (which made it stand out more from the traditional NYC cabs). The two spoilers might dovetail; I don't know much about the cab ranks at JFK but it might be possible for a Newark cab to drop somebody off at JFK and then pick up a racer there.

"No makeup" makeup: how to do natural makeup in under 5 minutes
Why are mornings always so rushed? Whether you have kids you need to get organised for school, you can't seem to get out of bed on time, or you have an early meeting at work, this time of day is notoriously busy – meaning we often have to ditch our makeup routine altogether and scoff a piece of peanut butter toast while running out the door.
Thankfully, it is actually possible to do your makeup in under five minutes flat. In fact, this 'no makeup' makeup look has become a trend all of its own, with your favourite makeup brands releasing products that are made for a fresh, everyday face. All it takes is freshly moisturised and primed skin and a handful of products to give you the glow of someone who's had a full night's sleep – and enough time to sit down to a proper breakfast.
How to achieve the 'no makeup' makeup look in under five minutes:
Moisturise your skin, then prime it with a spritz of the MAC Prep + Prime Fix+ Spray. This product is great as it doubles as a setting spray too. It's important to keep your products to a minumum when you're rushed (or doing your makeup in the car park!)
Skip the heavy foundation and apply a BB cream or tinted gel, like the bareMinerals Complexion Rescue with a couple drops of The Body Shop Honey Bronze Drops of Sun Holiday Glow mixed in. Use your fingers to mix together and blend quickly and evenly into the skin. This combo is sheer enough to give you that lightweight 'no makeup' makeup look.
Conceal dark circles with the NARS Creamy Concealer from David Jones, painting it on in outwards strokes from the inner corner of your eye, then blend by patting with your ring finger or a beauty blender sponge.
Dab your fingertip in the Inglot AMC Cream Blush, smile and blend into the apples of your cheeks for a rosy flush that gives your skin life!
Next, take a cream highlighter stick (easier to apply when you're on the go) and draw it along your cheekbones and ever so slightly on the bridge of your nose and your cupid's bow. Blend along your cheekbones and onto your temples using your warm fingertips. We love the Benefit Watts Up Cream Highlighter from Glue Store.
If you need more bronzing (even after the Drops of Sun Holiday Glow) give yourself a light dusting wherever the sun would usually hit, using the Sportsgirl Bronze Me Bronzing Powder and Real Techniques Bronzer Retractable Bronzer Brush from Price Attack. Use your bronzer as a quick eyeshadow by applying a small amount to your eyelids and blending with your finger.
For natural brows that aren't too harsh, skip the crayons, pencils and kits and simply apply the Anastasia Beverly Hills Clear Brow Gel from Sephora, in a few strokes upwards and outwards.
Close your eyes and spritz your entire face with the MAC Prep + Prime Fix+ Spray to set your makeup.
Apply a slick of Dior Lip Glow Color Reviver Balm from David Jones, which enhances your natural lip, rather than adding any colour. Perfect for this look!
Now that your setting spray has dried, coat your lashes with the iconic Maybelline Great Lash Mascara from My Chemist. Seeing as we're going for a pretty, fresh face (and we're pressed for time!) one coat is enough.

Recruiters focus on potential, but competencies should not be overlooked.
A veteran corporate executive search recruiter says experience and competencies aren't as important as potential when hiring or promoting people to the top job. How would this approach play when picking leaders to head government agencies?
Claudio Fernández-Aráoz, a veteran corporate executive search recruiter, shares his approach for talent spotting for senior executives in an article in Harvard Business Review. He says that traditional approaches have emphasized assessing intelligence, experience, past performance and the competencies of the individual being considered for an executive slot.
He says that job candidates were "evaluated on specific characteristics and skills that helped predict outstanding performance in the roles for which they were being hired," but that with the growing complexity of most organizations, that past experience and performance was often irrelevant in predicting success in future roles.
Fernández-Aráoz describes how executive recruiter firms in the 1980s shifted their focus, instead, to assessing competencies to see what combination worked best for different types of leadership roles. But he says that with the increasing velocity of uncertainty and ambiguity in the corporate world—brought about by technology, demographics and globalization—that even this new recruiting approach no longer did a good job at predicting who would be a successful leader. "What makes someone successful in a particular role today might not tomorrow if the competitive environment shifts," he observes.
So what is the best approach for spotting top talent? Fernández-Aráoz says the new emphasis is on potential, however, "potential is much harder to discern than competence." The federal government has largely relied on competencies, though.
The Five SES Core Qualifications
The Office of Personnel Management has identified five core qualifications that are the framework for a set of competencies that serve as guideposts for developing and promoting talent to the senior executive level in the federal government. The 7,462 senior executives are assessed on these competencies as they progress in their careers. These competencies are grouped within each of the five core qualifications:
- Leading change. The ability to bring about strategic change, both within and outside the organization, to meet organizational goals.
- Leading people. The ability to lead people toward meeting the organization's vision, mission and goals.
- Results driven. The ability to meet organizational goals and customer expectations.
- Business acumen. The ability to manage human, financial and information resources strategically.
- Building coalitions. The ability to build coalitions internally and with other federal agencies, state and local governments, nonprofit and private sector organizations, foreign governments, or international organizations to achieve common goals.
The Five Indicators of Potential
Fernández-Aráoz says there are five indicators of potential and that by using them appropriately to spot talent, their predictive accuracy is around 85 percent, based on a model he has used over the past two decades. These indicators are:
- Motivation. A fierce commitment to excel in the pursuit of unselfish goals."
- Curiosity. A penchant for seeking out new experiences, knowledge, and candid feedback, and an openness to learning and change.
- Insight. The ability to gather and make sense of information that suggests new possibilities.
- Engagement. A knack for using emotion and logic to communicate a persuasive vision and connect with people.
- Determination. Having the wherewithal to fight for difficult goals despite challenges and to bounce back from adversity.
I've seen some successful talent in the federal government—especially at the political level—that clearly reflects Fernández-Aráoz's perspective. Few would have suspected that Dan Beard—a congressional staffer—would be the innovative leader of the Bureau of Reclamation back in the 1990s. Or that Greg Woods, a technology executive, would have been the right person to transform the Office of Student Aid. Yet both reflected many of the characteristics highlighted by Fernández-Aráoz. They had potential. They were curious, insightful and created a vision that they carried out with determination.
Should Potential Trump Competencies?
I'm not sure I'd want to rely on pure potential for leadership of technical agencies, such as Air Traffic Operations, Manned Space Flight Operations, or the Indian Health Service. Competencies and experience would seem to be highly important success elements for these jobs. In fact, Fernández-Aráoz writes that potential is important, but that "it would be a mistake to ignore other lessons we've learned over the years about how to evaluate people" for leadership potential. He outlines eight leadership abilities that basically reflect the OPM core qualifications for SES.
So, while it may be helpful to factor potential into federal leadership roles, it will still be important to remember that competency and experience should not be forgotten when spotting top talent.

I've had my Newark St Starfire for about a month now and I can only repeat what fronobulax has stated.
With the exception that I cannot speak to the accuracy of the pickup vs the original, since I've never played an original.
But it is a very good sounding pickup nevertheless.
The overall build quality is excellent IMO.

Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman said Thursday morning on "NFL AM" that he did not mean that "half the league" was taking Adderall, as he was quoted by the Vancouver Sun.
An athlete claiming he was misquoted or his words were taken out of context is a familiar excuse, so forgive us if we were skeptical of Sherman's declaration.
While Sherman uttered the phrase "half the league takes it," he was referring to a reporter's direct statement about players who have prescriptions for Adderall to treat their attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Sherman was not talking about players using it illegally, as the original story suggested.
Vancouver Sun reporter Mike Beamish provided Around The League with a transcript of his interview with Sherman from which the quote was taken:
Beamish: "There are players who actually have to take Adderall, because people have ADD and ADHD."
Sherman: "There's about half the league that takes it, and the league has to allow it."
Beamish: "It's like you have a prescription, if you're a diabetic."
Sherman: "Exactly."
Beamish: "So, are you on any medication that way?"
Sherman: "I'm not. But there are players that took it. We all got tested on the same day. There was kind of a little mix-up with that."
Beamish wrote in an email to NFL.com that it was clear Sherman was saying "half the league" in the same vein people say "everybody cheats on their taxes."
Beamish, to his credit, provided this transcript when he could have ignored the inquiry.
We'll make sure we take Sherman's word as gospel from here on out. Maybe. Possibly. Ummm ...
UPDATE: Sherman later took to Twitter to express his frustration over being misquoted:
Falsely accused, misquoted almost every interview lol still waiting on my apologies. But I guess ignorance doesn't apologize ������â Richard Sherman (@RSherman_25) April 11, 2013

The Accounting Historians Journal Vol. 16, No. 1 June 1989 Kyojiro Someya WASEDA UNIVERSITY ACCOUNTING "REVOLUTIONS" IN JAPAN Abstract: Japan's rise from a feudalistic economy to a position as a leading industrial power is a result, in part, of two revolutionary changes in its accounting structure. The first change came during the latter part of the nineteenth century as part of the Meiji Government's program of modernization. Various political, eco-nomic, and cultural institutions were adopted from the West, among them the double-entry method of bookkeeping; this method gradually replaced very unsatisfactory traditional methods. The second change came after World War II, when the Allied Command set as its objective the destruction of the Zaibatsu-dominated industrial structure and its replacement with a democratic economy, in which industrial capital is accumulated through the participation of investors in a free stock exchange. Such a change demanded a shift in emphasis from stewardship-oriented financial reporting to investor-oriented financial reporting. Accounting history is the study of the evolutionary process in accounting thought, practices, and institutions. The focal point of such study is the dynamic interaction between ac-counting and its environment. This consideration of the ac-counting history of Japan, focuses on two significant events in the modern history of Japan that had revolutionary impacts on its accounting system. The first of the two events, which took place in the latter half of the 1800s, involved the change from traditional diary-style bookkeeping methods to a modern system of accounting within a double-entry framework. The second revolutionary event, which occurred shortly after World War II, involved a virtually overnight change from Japan's traditional stewardship orientation to the investor orientation of financial reporting common in many parts of the world today. These two events are excellent examples of the fact that accounting cannot be under-stood in isolation, but that an analysis of accounting must include the economic, political, and diplomatic environments in which it is practiced. The function of accounting is, obviously, to provide infor-mation relevant to the decisions of managers, shareholders, creditors, and other parties interested in the process an enter-

Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) is produced by and stored in the
pituitary gland, which is located beneath the brain. The release of TSH into
the bloodstream stimulates the thyroid gland to release its hormones, called
thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3).
When the pituitary gland detects that thyroid hormone levels are
too low, it secretes more TSH. If the pituitary gland detects too much thyroid
hormone, it releases less TSH.

Legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar was reportedly approached by the Big Bash League (BBL) franchise Sydney Thunder to feature in this year's edition of the Twenty20 tournament, but eventually the deal could not be reached.
According to a report in 'Sydney Morning Herald', Tendulkar was offered an "attractive" package by the Thunder, who are desperately looking for a turnaround in their fortunes, having won just one game out of their last 19 matches, stretching 25 months.
But the talks the with Indian veteran cricketer, who retired from all forms of the game in November last year, fell apart when Harry Harinath resigned as head of Cricket NSW early last year.
The report also claimed that Cricket NSW called upon the state government to use its connections in India in order to lure the iconic batsman to don their jersey but nothing materialised.
"Tendulkar was offered a deal to play for the Thunder over four weeks this season," it said.
"When the Cricket NSW board, headed by Harinath, met to address the problems, Tendulkar joined Michael Hussey and Brett Lee on the list after it was acknowledged the franchise needed to attract big stars to engage the 90,000 people with Indian and subcontinent heritage in the area surrounding the Olympic Park precinct," it added.
The 40-year-old Indian was at the top of a list of desired players, drawn up for 2013-14 by the club, which had disastrous campaign last season when they lost all their ties.
"Harinath, who stepped down from his posts as chairman of Cricket NSW and as a board member of Cricket Australia (CA) after an overhaul in the organisation's administration structure last January, was understood to have travelled to India to meet with people described as extremely close to Tendulkar," it added.
The side, led by Mike Hussey, are languishing at the bottom of the table this season with just a solitary win in seven games so far.
Tendulkar was a part of the Mumbai Indians, which won the Indian Premier League and Champions League 2013.

What's cool? PWN: Combat Hacking is sort of like Tic-Tac-Toe in its combination of strategy and simplicity. Players battle by taking over "nodes" on a grid by tapping them, the goal to capture each node adjacent to ones you control in order to overtake the other player's entire network. You can use a number of different power-ups to help out, like encrypting your nodes so they're harder to hack, and use various strategies such as using two adjacent nodes at the same time to speed the hacking of a third. PWN: Combat Hacking includes a campaign mode you can play alone, or the ability to challenge other players online.
Who's it for? If you like puzzle-like strategy games with a cyberpunk flare, you'll get a kick out of PWN: Combat Hacking. Or you could watch the 1995 film Hackers.
What's it like? Another fun hacking-themed game worth checking out is The Hacker.

Brennan: Housing drama detracts from Sochi's issues
SOCHI – The run-up to the 2014 Winter Olympic Games was supposed to be all about the important issues of gay rights and security, freedom and safety. But then members of the news media arrived and began talking about shower curtains, waste baskets and the color of the water coming out of the faucet.
Those conversations are not inappropriate. There most definitely are serious infrastructure problems at these Olympics, with the Russians appearing to be completely overwhelmed by the monumental task of building an entire Olympic Games from scratch -- every venue, village and road -- in less than seven years.
MORE BRENNAN: Figure skating debuting 'incredible event'
Yet they are taking all the oxygen out of the room before Thursday's start of competition and Friday's opening ceremony, making it all the more difficult for the real issues of these Games to bubble to the surface.
It's almost as if Russian President Vladimir Putin planned the whole thing, stealing the toilet paper and the light bulbs and the shower curtains himself, just to distract reporters from the stories that worry him far more: The strident condemnation of his anti-gay propaganda law; the very real concerns about terrorism in a seriously troubled part of the world; and the stunning, $50 billion price tag for these Games – more than all the other Winter Olympics combined.
Yes, Putin did it. That would explain everything.
FOR THE WIN:Strange toilets and other adventures at the Sochi Olympics
SECURITY:Stringent measures offer sense of comfort
Seriously, we're all easily distracted these days, latching onto the newest, the weirdest and the craziest stories on our phones. Sochi's slapdash infrastructure fits the bill, with the best messenger ever: the world's sports journalists.
It used to be that no one wanted to hear reporters whine about their living conditions when they were being paid to go halfway around the world to cover the best sporting event on earth. But with every photo, tweet and hashtag, the story has become so widespread that it's guaranteed to be a lasting footnote of the Sochi Games, come what may.
Soon enough, however, the news media will move on _ to Putin, to his law, to his security and to his Olympics.

NAVARRE � Gatlin Casey scored on a 90-yard kickoff to open the second half and spark the Navarre High School football team to a 17-14 win over Crestview on Friday. Defenses dominated the first half as each team gave up a big play that set up a touchdown.
NAVARRE � Gatlin Casey scored on a 90-yard kickoff to open the second half and spark the Navarre High School football team to a 17-14 win over Crestview on Friday.
Defenses dominated the first half as each team gave up a big play that set up a touchdown.
The Bulldogs (1-3) got on the scoreboard first with 5:10 left in the first quarter when Emmanuel Reed scored from two yards out and Tyler Hancock added the extra point.
Reed�s touchdown was set up by a 57-yard run by Khalil Foster.
Midway through the second quarter Raider quarterback Matthew Webb hit Casey with a 5-yard scoring strike. Three plays earlier it had been Webb to Blake Malter for 32 yards to move the ball deep into Bulldog territory.
On their last possession of the first half the Bulldogs moved the ball from their own 18 to the Raider 24 at which point things started going backwards.
Facing a fourth and 20 from the Navarre 34 the Bulldogs attempted a 51-yard field goal that fell well short.
The Raiders (2-2) were unable to get into scoring territory as the half ended with the teams tied at 7-7.
Casey wasted no time in the second half in bringing the home fans at Bennett Russell Stadium to their feet as he took the kick up the middle and outran the Bulldog kick coverage to the end zone.
The respective defenses bent but wouldn�t break throughout the third quarter.
Crestview shanked a punt late in quarter to give the Raiders a first down in Bulldog territory.
Aided by a pass interference call against Crestview, Navarre took the ball to the Bulldog 6-yard line. Luke Morton then kicked what turned out to be the game-winning field goal from 23-yards out with 32 seconds left in the period.
Crestview rallied behind sophomore quarterback Corey Armstrong in the fourth quarter. Armstrong drove the Bulldogs to a touchdown drive thanks in part to a bit of good luck.
An Armstrong pass deflected off a Raider defender into the hands of Reed who raced 45 yards to the Navarre 20.
Four plays later Armstrong hit Demetrice Smith with a 6-yard touchdown pass. With 7:19 left in the game both teams had their chances, but neither could score.
Armstrong finished the night completing 8-of-14 passes for 89 yards and the touchdown in a little more than a quarter of work.
Foster was 4-of-10 passing for 27 yards. He also picked up 96 yards rushing on 13 carries and had one reception for eight yards.
Reed had 63 yards rushing and 45 yards on the one reception.
It looked as if Navarre had iced the game with about 3:30 left on 58-yard touchdown pass from Webb to Dylan Main. Main was ruled to have been covered at the line of scrimmage and an illegible receiver, which negated the score and the Raiders held on for the win.
The Bulldogs were playing without star defensive end Denzel Ware who was out with a dislocated elbow. Even without their leader the Bulldog defense swarmed to the ball and held the Raiders to 159 yards in total offense.
Navarre only had 71 yards in total offense in the second half.
Each of the four Bulldog games has been decided by less than a touchdown. The three losses have come by a combined nine points.

We've written about Falcon Northwest's new Core i7-based gaming PC, and now Velocity Micro gets a turn to showcase Intel's new mainstream-priced desktop chip. Our Velocity Micro Edge Z30 review unit comes in at $1,349 and features an overclocked Intel Core i7 860 chip. It also outperforms a pricier Dell system, and comes in with the best value so far of the handful of vendors that have adopted Intel's new CPUs. With strong and stable performance, no major sacrifices, and Velocity Micro's typical high build quality, we're compelled to give this desktop an Editors' Choice award. We'd recommend this system to anyone looking for a midrange gaming PC.
Velocity Micro has earned a reputation in our lab as one of the better desktop builders, and the Edge Z30 gives us no reason to change our opinion. The inside of the case is as clean as can be, and there's little about the overall design we would change. The Edge Z30 also strikes an interesting contrast to the Dell Studio XPS 435, a much larger tower system that Dell introduced a few months back.
We like the aesthetics of the Studio XPS 435, and it gives you plenty of room to expand, but with no second graphics card slot, Dell could get away with losing a bit of upgrade room and making the case smaller (its new Studio XPS 8000 seems to be going in that direction). The Edge Z30 cuts a more compact profile, measuring only 15 by 7.5 by 17.57 inches, and still manages to allow for a second graphics card slot, two more hard drives, a second optical drive, as well as an extra 1x PCI Express slots for card expansion.
It's worth pointing out that despite the second graphics slot, the new Intel P55 Express chipset in this system has some performance limitations with two 3D cards. A single card works as normal on a single 16x PCI Express slot. But adding a second 3D card gets you no extra bandwidth, so instead of two 16x slots, you effectively only get two 8x graphics data paths on a P55 Express-based motherboard like this one. You will probably still see a performance gain if you add a second graphics card, it just won't be as much as you'd get from a full dual 16x motherboard.
Side by side the Velocity Micro and Dell systems look similar. The Edge Z30 has no Blu-ray drive, and its Intel P55 Express motherboard has only dual-channel memory support, as opposed to the Dell's triple channel interface by way of its Intel X58 chipset. Unless you're performing professional-level, memory-bandwidth-intensive tasks (large Photoshop treatments, for example), you likely won't notice the difference. If you discount the Edge Z30's lack of a Blu-ray drive due to its lower price, the features comparison comes out even, if not in Velocity Micro's favor due to the fact that it will overclock for you. Dell won't.
If you're concerned about the stability of the Edge Z30's overclocked CPU (set to 3.2GHz from its 2.8GHz base clock speed), you shouldn't worry. Thanks to the LinX benchmark, we found this system was able to maintain both its clock speed and its stability throughout the course of that testing. You can overclock the Dell system yourself, so it may hold a hidden performance bonus if you're willing to look for it. Still, we must credit Velocity Micro for doing the work for you, and for doing it reliably.
The advantages of the Edge Z30's overclocked Core i7 860 chip become apparent on our performance charts. Coming in second only to the $2,495 Falcon Northwest Talon, the Velocity Micro system easily surpasses the Dell Studio XPS 435 on our tests, and also outpaces systems from Asus and Maingear in its price category. To put the Velocity Micro in a larger perspective, its application scores are in the same ballpark as a $6,500 Alienware system we reviewed last November. There's no mainstream task you can throw at the Edge Z30 that it can't handle.
The gaming scores are slightly less dramatic, but still positive. We don't expect a $1,350 PC that pitches itself as a gaming box to set benchmark records, but we do expect it to provide decent performance on the more demanding games out there. The Edge Z30 lives up to that expectation, and again outperforms the more expensive Dell, with scores above our 60-frame-per-second litmus test on Far Cry 2 at 1,440 x 900.
Interestingly though, Velocity Micro can't overtake the $1,199 Asus Essentio CG5290-BP007 on the 1,920 x 1,200 Far Cry 2 test. The Edge Z30 is close enough to 60 fps that we're not too concerned about its performance, but if you have a 24-inch LCD in mind for this system you might have to sacrifice a few image quality settings in order to play at full resolution with smooth frame rates. A 22-inch display at 1,680 x 1,050 might be a surer bet to pair with the Edge Z30, at least for more demanding games.
We've already mentioned the internal expansion options. And while the exterior connectivity of the Edge Z30 is similarly unremarkable, at least it's more or less complete. You get eight USB 2.0 ports on the back of the case, along with 7.1 analog audio jacks and a pair of digital audio outputs. The graphics card has two DVI out ports, so you'll need an adapter if you want to connect to an HDMI display. External storage options include FireWire 400 and a single eSATA jack. That should let you connect pretty much anything you'd like to this system.
We found some interesting results in our power testing. On balance the Edge Z30 is as efficient as we expect, drawing no more power than its relative performance might indicate. What's interesting are its individual power scores. Its average off and idle power draw are more than twice those of the Falcon Northwest Talon. It's only the Velocity Micro's draw under load that keeps it from surpassing Talon, whose load measurement came out to 391.4 watts on average, compared to 286.78 for the Edge Z30. Time constraints (and, we suspect, a lack of broad audience interest) prevent us from hunting down the component-level power consumption figures, so we'll leave the real detective work to the vendors. But while the Velocity Micro will technically draw less power than the Falcon Northwest system over the course of a year, it still seems as if the Edge Z30 has some efficiency to gain.
Like Falcon Northwest, Velocity Micro offers in-house technical support via a toll-free phone number, in Velocity Micro's case open from a reasonable 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. PT during the week, and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturdays. It also has what it calls its Concierge service that it says will try to accommodate nonstandard requests. Velocity Micro's Web site offers a comprehensive set of support resources, and the system itself is backed by a one year parts-and-labor warranty.

Dear Sister Em-"
I suppose regarding the rules of etiquette in addressing a bride I should have selected a sheet of the most delicate pink note paper perfumed gilt edge and I know not what other properties it should possess but I have various reasons for not doing so. 1stly and chiefly this is the only sheet I possess and you know we do not have stores here again if we did it would do me no good to day for it is sunday and I could not send- so content myself this New Years day by keeping my room and writing to my two sisters- what a prize one of my [inimitable] epistles must be. another reason for my being less particular in my choice of paper is this- that you will be so entirely engrossed with your liege lord that perhaps you will forget to break the seal or should you chance to do that you will doubtless give it a hasty perusal and throw it aside. now do not come to the conclusion that I judge of you from my past experience far from it. I had outgrown all romance suppose I had not- where is the romance in marrying a widower with a house full of children. certain it is that I have become exceedingly practical. I can not exactly after Jane�s fashion sit down and enumerate my list of �pies and things.� but I can extol my sewing machine by the hour and the quantity of negro clothes made

Jessica Simpson and Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan faced rumors of a romantic link last year, but the rocker told the Chicago Tribune that the reports were far from "reality."
"The stuff that I've seen doesn't have any bearing to the reality that I'm in," he said, neither confirming nor denying their rumored past love connection. "It's like being in a cartoon. It has nothing to do with what's really going on or how I feel."
But the singer did tell the newspaper that Jessica herself reached out to him to work on the theme song for her new VH1 reality show, "The Price of Beauty."
"I ended up writing part of [the theme song]," he said. "She asked me to help her out… It has a little bit of an alternative rock edge, but it's still very pop-y.
And Billy, who's currently releasing new Smashing Pumpkins tracks for free via his Web site, praised Jessica's latest venture.
"[It] has an interesting concept," he said. "She goes around the world to show how different people perceive beauty. In some cultures, bigger is better. In some, smaller is better."
Reports that the two were dating emerged in December, when a source told E! Online that Jessica was "smitten" with the alternative rock icon. Jessica later Tweeted about their time in the studio working on the theme song.
"Fun to be lost in laughter," she Tweeted at the time. "I am blessed."
However, in January, Us Weekly reported that the two had split.

|"It was the only choice I was interested in for the Center. With the Integral system, we can get two forms of water from one source- that allows us to accommodate all users."
— Nathanial Hentz,
Biomanufacturing Training and Education Center (BTEC), North Carolina State Univeristy, Raleigh, North Carolina, U.S.A.
|"For a pharmaceutical company like Tillotts, it goes without saying that our water quality has to meet very specific high standards, which is one of the reasons we use Milli-Q® Integral system. The system's POD water dispensers are another real "plus" for us- they have a clear, Clean design, and they're very easy to use. With the Millipak® Application Pak we get bacteria-free and particulate-free ultrapure water in the volumes we need."
— Mr. Daniel Bootz,
Tillots Pharma AG, Ziefen, Switzerland.
|"In the past, I was using water from an in-house central water system and bottled LC-MS water for our chromatography work. However, for the highly sensitive instruments that we now have (UHPLC-MS system and PDA detectors), this water quality simply wasn't good enough- at one point TOC was measured at over 200 ppb! To solve the problem, we installed a Milli-Q® Integral system. We've been working with the system for over a year now, and I'm happy to say that we have consistently high ultrapure water quality. It's exactly what we need to ensure the highest quality eluent that is essential for our analyses."
