Grains and oilseeds were lower again following Thursday's selloff. The market had been rather mixed at the midpoint of the trading session but had an especially poor close. For the week December corn closed up 23 ¼ cents while November soybeans were down 24 ¾ cents! Cattle-on-feed was at 97% and placements at 98%, both a little higher than expected but the beef stocks were well below expectations.
Last week we mentioned how outrageous the corn-soybean ratio was getting after it surpassed 2.45 to 1 especially during a late planting year. The spread has since retraced and is now down to a reasonable 2.29 (see chart). Some may argue this retracement in the spread/support in the corn is due to the warm/dry weather in the forecast. We don't see that as a threat at this time. The market was just pricing in a premium for overly wet and cold conditions and now the chance for drier and warmer weather is an imminent threat? We still have to get through the month of July without weather issues but we find that a normal weather pattern will be more likely than drought which some are already calling for again. I think the default assumption is that problems will arise since we have had three bad growing years in a row and the memories are fresh.
Next week will be filled with fresh fundamental news for price fluctuation. Monday we have crop ratings for corn and soybeans as well as soybean plantings. Friday we will have the highly anticipated quarterly stocks and acreage report. The average acreage guesses are in from the Reuters poll. They are pegging corn acreage at 95.313, soybeans at 77.933, and all wheat at 55.902. We will notify you when the quarterly stocks estimates come in. Have a great weekend!

The outside market panic flowed over into grains today and pushed corn, beans, and wheat lower. March corn finished 6 ¾ cents lower, March 1 ½ cents lower, and March wheat was 20 ½ cents lower.
This morning 4th quarter GDP came out at 3.2%, when the consensus was 3.5%. Initially the market viewed this as favorable and pushed equities higher. We also had a sale of 151,638 MT's of US corn announced to Japan, and 110,000 MT's of US soybeans announced to China which was seen as favorable. At mid-morning the grains started to see pressure come in mainly spillover weakness from outside markets. This sparked a selloff which lasted into the close. The US dollar and the treasuries were sharply higher today as money flew towards less risky assets on a fear trade. The unrest in Northern Africa has the market on edge and helped crude oil trade at one point to over $4 higher on the day.
Overall we are still fundamentally friendly this market and could continue to see support on breaks. We don't want to "lift" any cash hedges, but we feel call spreads are a decent way to stay in the market. Breaks like today give us chances to get into some May corn/bean call spreads, please call your broker for specific trades.
Today's COT report shows the funds decreased their net long positions in corn and beans, but increased the positions in wheat. This is all using futures and options.
Again I want to stress, these are profitable levels for many producers. We don't want to NOT make the necessary sales while we are at these levels, we want to make sure to be adequately sold and that can vary by operation. Please call your broker if you have any questions, or would like to re-evaluate your position.

Victims Overcoming Traumatic Events (VOTE)
Sutter County Sheriff's Office continues to assist victims through traumatic events in their lives by offering various programs and solutions to their problems. The VOTE program is comprised of Deputies from the Sutter County Sheriff's Office, including the Live Oak Substation. Statistics have shown that domestic violence and other traumatic events involve a cycle of abuse and the offenses are often repeated until the cycle is broken.
Deputies from the VOTE program work together with other agencies such as the Yuba City Police Department, Sutter County Probation Department and non-profit agencies to combat the cycle of abuse. Deputies also conduct probation visits, assistance to the victims, and actively seeking those with arrest warrants.
The Sutter County Sheriff's Office and Jail also offer the VINE (Victim Information and Notification Everyday) Program. This service is a free and anonymous telephone service that provides victims of crimes two important features: information and notification. This service can be used by victims of crime, domestic violence, family members interested in the custody status of their family, and news media that are concerned as to the custody status of an inmate. Callers will need a touch-tone telephone to use the service.
Crime victims and the general public register directly with VINE by calling 1-877-315-VINE or by registering online at
. The caller will be notified when the following occur:
Release from custody for any reason
Return to custody after escape
Unsupervised custody
Transfer to another facility
Advance notification of release
Calls will be made every 30 minutes for 24 hours or until the correct PIN is entered to confirm and stop the calls.

The AAVSO is happy to provide a copy of Bob Nelson's O-C files for Eclipsing Binaries for 2012. These files can be used for observation planning, and are a valuable resource for EB observers.
Thanks once again for Bob Nelson for providing this service to the EB community.
The AAVSO Eclipsing Binary Ephemeris provides the predicted time of mid-eclipse for eclipsing binaries in the AAVSO Eclipsing Binary observing program. These times appear in Universal Time in the body of the ephemeris table. The time is rounded to the nearest half hour, which provides sufficient accuracy to plan an observing session while, hopefully, leaving sufficient doubt about the exact time in order to eliminate anticipatory bias. The ephemeris is designed for use by observers at American longitudes.
How to Use the EB Ephemeris
An expanded eclipsing binary ephemerides can also be found at the Milwaukee Astronomical Society website.
How to Use the RR Lyrae Ephemeris
The following RR Lyrae Ephemerides are available in Adobe PDF format.

The national action plan predicts an onshore contribution of 6.15GW, with a further 500MW offshore. Wind capacity will need an annual rise of 547MW from 2011-2020, compared to 212MW average annual growth during the past five years.
The government's policy is to preserve power and heating plants using solid fuels, principally coal. However, widespread criticism from wind and renewable energy associations has centred on the action plan's dependence on biomass. They believe that biomass resources will not fulfil even half of predicted demand. But the government is counting on imports to bridge this gap. Low wind energy targets could also discourage essential investment in the grid for wind development, as the plan favours coal power plants burning biomass, which already have grid connection.
Planned changes to support schemes are also causing concern. Currently wind farm developers receive one green certificate for each MWh of wind electricity worth €68 and a guaranteed €50.5 for electricity sold. But the government is now considering limiting green certificates to the 6.65GW of wind power stipulated in the plan. So developers who build farms after the national wind target is achieved may not benefit.
New grant scheme could benefit wind
But there is another option being weighed up by the government that could be attractive to the wind industry. Poland wants to use some of the income from 500 million AAUs (Kyoto Treaty-based carbon credits) for grants to wind developers instead of issuing green certificates. There are no details as yet.
The Polish National Renewable Energy Action Plan has addressed none of the wind sector's concerns sector, notably the obstacle of insufficient grid capacity. Local grid operators are not under pressure from government to invest in connecting new renewable sources. In fact, government action has increased uncertainty among investors as the provisions of a new renewable energy act could actually block capacity development beyond the country's target. The act is scheduled to be passed this year, but no draft has been published so far.

Many know that with a Scotsman ice machine you get an affordable, reliable ice maker that will last you a long time. Scotsman is the largest manufacturer of ice machines in the world, boasting a diverse selection of ice dispensers and bins. Whether you're looking for a Scotsman nugget ice machine, superflake or gourmet ice size, Scotsman has the perfect ice machine combination for you. In addition to its durability, many Scotsman ice makers are outfitted with AquaArmor™ to keep your machine cleaner for that much longer.
Before purchasing your new Scotsman ice machine first consider what type of ice you need and how much of it. By far the most popular is the Scotsman cuber ice machine. The cube is great for mixed drinks, ice displays, and much more, making it a versatile machine for many restaurant concepts. Next in popularity is the nugget, branded as The Original Chewable Ice®. The small, soft shape of nugget ice (also known as pellet ice) is ideal for smoothies, blended cocktails, fountain beverages and more.
After determining what kind of ice you need, consider how much of it is required for service. A good rule of thumb for restaurants is to plan for about 1.8 pounds of ice per person. From there, consider other ice needs you'll require for front and back of house operations. Many operators fail to appropriately predict their ice needs in the warmer months, when demand for cold beverages and mixed drinks are higher. Unfortunately you can never increase an ice machines capacity after the fact, so sizing appropriately now is key. Last but not least, don't think that sizing up and having leftover ice in the Once you consider your quantity needs, next up is your bin is a good thing—this wasted ice will slowly melt in your bin, contributing to bacteria and mold growth (yuck).
Keeping your ice machine regularly cleaned and maintained is the secret to a long and happy life. Scotsman makes a great scale remover that helps remove the presence of slime, scale or mold from the inner workings of your equipment. Over time, this buildup will naturally occur on the evaporator plates of your machine, which impedes heat transfer and could result in costly repairs. Also consider investing in a few water filters to improve the quality of the water feeding into your machine. Water contains several minerals which could build up in the tubing and around the heating elements of your machine. A water filter not only protects your ice machine from these contaminants, but your ice will look clear, smell better and taste great.

The average Japanese Pension Refund is ¥600000Začněte
Employees in Japan are required to pay a contribution into a pension insurance fund out of their wages. Contributions are usually 11% of your salary, depending on whether you are paying into the Government's National Pension Scheme or your employer has a private social insurance plan. If you're a foreigner working in Japan, you can apply for a pension refund once you leave the country. You are entitled to a pension refund from Japan if:
You can also reclaim the 20% tax charged on the Lump-sum withdraw. When the social insurance office (Japanese Pension Service) reimburses your pension payments, it deducts 20% income tax on the refunded amount. Once you receive your refund, we can claim that tax back as well.

MIT recently held a symposium on the current status of AI, which apparently has seen precious little progress in recent decades. The discussion, it seems, ground down to a squabble over the prevalence of statistical techniques in AI and a call for a revival of work on the sorts of rule-governed models of symbolic processing that once dominated much of AI and its sibling, computational linguistics.
Briefly, from the early days in the 1950s up through the 1970s both disciplines used models built on carefully hand-crafted symbolic knowledge. The computational linguists built parsers and sentence generators and the AI folks modeled specific domains of knowledge (e.g. diagnosis in elected medical domains, naval ships, toy blocks). Initially these efforts worked like gang-busters. Not that they did much by Star Trek standards, but they actually did something and they did things never before done with computers. That's exciting, and fun.
In time, alas, the excitement wore off and there was no more fun. Just systems that got too big and failed too often and they still didn't do a whole heck of a lot.
Then, starting, I believe, in the 1980s, statistical models were developed that, yes, worked like gang-busters. And these models actually did practical tasks, like speech recognition and then machine translation. That was a blow to the symbolic methodology because these programs were "dumb." They had no knowledge crafted into them, no rules of grammar, no semantics. Just routines the learned while gobbling up terabytes of example data. Thus, as Google's Peter Norvig points out, machine translation is now dominated by statistical methods. No grammars and parsers carefully hand-crafted by linguists. No linguists needed.
What a bummer. For machine translation is THE prototype problem for computational linguistics. It's the problem that set the field in motion and has been a constant arena for research and practical development. That's where much of the handcrafted art was first tried, tested, and, in a measure, proved. For it to now be dominated by statistics . . . bummer.
So that's where we are. And that's what the symposium was chewing over.

Put into the perspective of the wars of the 20th century the death toll is small but even one death in the name of evil is too many.
The toll in treasure we won't get into but the significance is immeasurable.
Those with the power who send our 'volunteers' to these foreign lands aren't very concerned about lives. Their concern is money. The first thing we did after invading Afghanistan and kicking out the anti-opium Taliban, our former allies, was to re-establish the crop of debilitation, destabilization and death. Newly built heroin processing plants and CIA drones carrying the bounty have become the norm. Just how much has been made in the opium/heroin trade in the last 11 years? It has to be in the trillions. That money props up the illicit banking cartel and lubricates the palms and pockets of anyone who has influence in keeping the trade going.
2,000 lives and the debt put on the backs of taxpayers are a small price to pay for such a lucrative business say the bankers, politicians and high level traffickers.
Some analysts want us to think that Obama's surge was filled with incompetence and naivety.
"Nobody bothered to ask, 'Tell us how many troops you're sending here and there,' " said a senior White House official involved in war policy. "We assumed, perhaps naively, that the Pentagon was sending them to the most critical places."I don't buy that analysis. Helmand is the biggest opium producing province. The surge troops not only guarded the crops but gave time for the logistics and allies to be set up so the profits flowed into the right hands. Bringing the surge troops home was an indication that the ruling powers at least thought they had the growing and distribution under control. Will most of the rest of the US troops leave by the end of 2014? We're already being set up with the meme that leaving would bring disaster. Unless we still have control of the resources or something unforeseen happens, we won't be leaving. Please correct me if you think I'm off base in this line of thought.
The problem escalated later in 2009 when McChrystal asked for 40,000 more troops. Some of the new forces would be sent to Kandahar. Others would secure the regions around Kabul as well as a few Pashtun-dominated pockets in the north and west where insurgent activity had increased. But thousands of the additional troops were slated to go to Helmand — on top of the nearly 11,000 Marines who already were there.
As if 2,000 US dead in Afghanistan and over 4,800 in Iraq is not bad enough, probably over 1 million natives of the two countries have been slaughtered. We tend to forget that.
It's just the tip of a sinking ship. Veterans are dying everyday. Suicides, killed by police, drug overdoses, drinking themselves to death, 'accidents,' maybe DU and radiation poisoning. So similar to the tens of thousands that came home from Vietnam and died early and often.
Just yesterday at about the same time the 2,000th died in Afghanistan, a local 26 year old two tour vet only back home less than a year was stabbed to death by his brother in the parking lot of the Tennessee Titans stadium. His whole life led up to that point and did his service time have anything to do with it? An educated guess says it very well could have.
It's a harsh thing to say but all of the soldiers died in vain, the civilian victims of war too. Profiteers and the deceived masses may say otherwise but many of us see the picture as it is really painted. We want to slash that painting into pieces and burn it, never to be seen again. We fail at the moment, it still hangs on the wall.

More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
Rates of women who are opting for preventive mastectomies, such as Angeline Jolie, have increased by an estimated 50 percent in recent years, experts say. But many doctors are puzzled because the operation doesn't carry a 100 percent guarantee, it's major surgery -- and women have other options, from a once-a-day pill to careful monitoring.

Researchers from the French College of General Hospital Respiratory Physicians studied 7,610 lung cancer patients and 7,610 new cases of lung cancer in France in 2010.
The study found nonsmokers made up 11.9 percent of the lung cancer cases, up from 7.9 percent in 2000. And the percentage of female lung cancer patients jumped from 16 percent to 24.4 percent over the decade.
Among women with a history of smoking, lung cancer rates barely changed over those 10 years, hovering around 65 percent. Meanwhile, this figure decreased in men, while the rate of male lung cancer patients who had never smoked increased, the researchers said.
Moreover, the study found changes in the severity of the cancer at the time of diagnosis.
"Not only has there been an increase in the number of women and nonsmokers contracting the disease, but there has also been an increase in the number of cases diagnosed in stage 4 of the illness," lead researcher Dr. Chrystèle Locher said in a statement.
This change — 58 percent with stage 4 in 2010 compared with 43 percent in 2000 — might reflect new classifications of different stages of the disease, the researchers said. They also found big changes in the type of cancer being diagnosed. The rate of people developing adenocarcinoma, a form of non-small cell lung cancer, jumped from 35.8 percent to 53.5 percent over the decade.
Locher said more research is needed to understand what causes lung cancer in nonsmokers, but she pointed to exhaust fumes from diesel engines as one possible factor. (The World Health Organization, WHO, recently classified diesel fumes as carcinogenic.)
Past research, presented in 2010 at a conference held by the American Association for Cancer Research, showed that lung cancer is different in nonsmokers than in smokers, with nonsmoker lung cancer tumors showing more than twice as many DNA changes as tumors in smokers.
To combat rising cancer rates among women, Locher said public awareness campaigns might help. "Anti-smoking campaigns must also target women more specifically, as we can see little change in lung cancer rates caused by smoking in women," the researcher said.
The results of the study were presented Sept. 4 at the European Respiratory Society's Annual Congress in Vienna. The research has yet to be published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal.

How China Keeps Its Citizens Loyal Overseas
A recent report showed that 64% of China's rich are either migrating overseas or have plans to leave the country. Political scientist James To, who has written a book on the subject, tells the WSJ's Deborah Kan how the Chinese government is using propaganda campaigns abroad to ensure loyalty from overseas Chinese.

Olbia is located in northeastern Sardinia, a beautiful Italian island, and was called "the happy city", by the Greeks. For some it's only known as a port to pass through, but Olbia is in fact an interesting city of history and culture on one side, and the beautiful beaches of the Costa Smeralda on the other side.
The Sardinian city also hosts some magnificent shopping places. Both in the north and the south the shopping centres have grown with a mix of boutiques, galleries and restaurants. If you rather enjoy shopping in a historical environment, you should visit Old Olbia. In this part of town visitors can shop in a place that seems a bit lost in time.
But most of all Olbia is a city of great historical interest. It hosts numerous archaeological sites that are certainly worth a visit: the sacred Nuraghic well of Sa Testa, the Castelo di Pedres, the Roman Aquaduct… So if you like to be overwhelmed by Sardinian history, than Olbia is the place to be.

Some photographers are so skilled at covering a specific topic, or through the years have created so distinctive a feel in their pictures, that it's possible to encounter an image—even an image one has never seen before—and say with something like certainty, "That's a Leifer" or "That's a Halsman" or "That's a Nachtwey." Familiarity with a recognizable style, meanwhile, hardly breeds contempt; a master can find countless ways to keep his or her vision fresh—even if the subject matter or the visual vocabulary remains relatively constant across decades.
Andreas Feininger might photograph the Brooklyn Bridge a hundred times, but his artistry and technical virtuosity makes it new each and every time.
Then there are great photographers whose work is so phenomenally varied—a uniform, unbroken excellence the only common thread running throughout—that every new shot one encounters might have been made by a different individual. John Dominis is such a photographer, and the photos presented here serve as a testament to the man's enviable ability to see and to capture anything.
Born in Los Angeles in 1921, Dominis was majoring in cinematography at USC when he left school in 1943 to enlist in the Air Force. After the war, he freelanced as a photographer for a number of national publications, including LIFE, and was put on staff in 1950 when he volunteered to cover the Korean War.
Over the next two-plus decades, he traveled the globe, working in Southeast Asia and the American Southwest, Africa and Europe, Mexico and New York City. He covered six Olympics, including the 1968 Summer Games in Mexico City, where he made his famous picture of American sprinters Tommie Smith and John Carlos on the podium, their gloved fists raised in a Black Power salute (slide 26 here). He was one of the first LIFE photographers to report from Vietnam. He covered Woodstock. He created what many consider the definitive photo essays on pop culture icons like Frank Sinatra and Steve McQueen. He photographed big cats (lions, leopards, cheetahs) in Africa and he photographed the three Kennedy brothers—John, Robert and Edward—separately, early in their careers.
His 1965 photograph of Mickey Mantle tossing his helmet in disgust after a terrible at-bat is one of the most eloquent pictures ever made of a great athlete in decline and—just to keep everyone guessing—John Dominis also made some of the most memorable images of food ever to grace the pages of LIFE.
"The great thing about working with LIFE," Dominis once said, "was that I was given all the support and money and time, whatever was required, to do almost any kind of work I wanted to do, anywhere in the world. It was like having a grant, a Guggenheim grant, but permanently."
Dominis has been remarkably candid about his work, and no more so than when discussing how he managed to make one of the most famous, and controversial, shots of his career: the bristling-with-energy picture of a leopard and a baboon (slide 25) facing off in what one immediately imagines—rightly, as it turns out—is a fight to the death.
In John Loengard's terrific 1998 book, LIFE Photographers: What They Saw, Dominis says of that photo:
I certainly wasn't a cat expert, but I could hire people who knew things. They'd lined up a hunter in Botswana, who was a hunter for zoos. He had caught a leopard, and he put the leopard in the back of the truck, and we went out into the desert. He would release the leopard, and most of the time the leopard would chase the baboons and they would run off and climb trees. I had photographed all this. But for some reason one baboon . . . turned and faced the leopard, and the leopard killed it. We didn't know that this was going to happen. I just turned on the camera motor, and I got this terrific shot of this confrontation.
There was a different feeling about that in the 1960s. We were always setting up pictures. . . . But now there are many, many more competent photographers doing this stuff over long periods of time—four or five years if a scientist is on a big study. . . . No one was working that way then. I felt that my job was to get the pictures. . . . We shot a gazelle and put it in a tree and waited for a cat to come. I didn't feel bad about it at all. It sounds terrible now, I know, and maybe my attitude would be different now. . . . I've been criticized a lot. But to me, I had to do what I did.
His encounters with humans were (usually) less fraught, but always involved the same degree of preparation. Of his remarkable series of photos of Steve McQueen, and how he got the notoriously private and solitary actor to relax with a photographer around, Dominis told LIFE.com:
When I was living in Hong Kong I had a sports car and I raced it. And I knew that McQueen had a racing car. I rented one anticipating that we might do something with them. He was in a motorcycle race out in the desert, so I went out there in my car and met him, and I say, 'You wanna try my car?' We went pretty fast—I mean, as fast as you can safely go without getting arrested—and we'd ride and then stop and trade cars. He liked that, and I knew he liked it. I guess that was the first thing that softened him.
Then there's Woodstock, an event that opened the eyes of a man who'd seen everything:
"I really had a great time," Dominis told LIFE.com, decades after the fact. "I was much older than those kids, but I felt like I was their age. They smiled at me, offered me pot. . . . You didn't expect to see a bunch of kids so nice; you'd think they'd be uninviting to an older person. But no—they were just great!
"I worked at LIFE for 25 years, and worked everywhere and saw everything, and I've told people every year since the Woodstock festival that it was one of the greatest events I ever covered."
Dominis became photo editor of People magazine in the mid-1970s and was an editor at Sports Illustrated for a few years, as well (1978 - 1982). But it was his work for LIFE in the 1950s, '60s and into the early '70s that not only defined his peripatetic career, but produced some of the most memorable and moving images of the 20th century.
[NOTE: John Dominis died on Monday, Dec. 30, 2013, at his home in New York City. Dominis was 92 years old. Farewell, John. We won't see your like again.]

Rays Top 5 Goals for 2008 Revisited
The Tampa Bay Rays went into 2008 wanting to gain respect and admiration in the major leagues from teams and fans. The main objective was to be competitve and to show that the Rays belonged in the rough and tumble AL East.
No one could have imagined that the team would be raising the AL East and AL pennant flags in their home Opener against the New York Yankees in 2009. Most people had the realistic goal of a .500 season and a puch hard towards the playoffs. What transpired was the same majoc and karma that made the 1969 Mets and the Florida Marlins darlings of the baseball world.
We had a team that believed in itself to the point of pulling off amazing endings and outstanding feats of sweeping some of the best teams in baseball at home. The Rays proved that if you can believe, you can achieve. The following list is the Top 5 goals that I set for the team in March of 2008. Yesterday I blogged about numbers 6-10, today is the time to see what reality did to the Top 5:
The 5th goal I put on my list was the idea of starting lineup leading off with 3 "lefties. In the beginning of the season, the Rays had a up-and-down bout of success and failure with their lefties' by committee lineup arrangement. Akinora Iwamura, Carl Crawford and Carlos Pena had the talent and the ability to take over the lineup, but the opposition right-handed pitchers' were stacked against the trio.
Finally, Rays Manager, Joe Maddon inserted B J Upton into the 3-slot and the cycle was broken. Upton began to see alot more pitches to hit in 2008. He did a remarkable job both at the plate and on the base paths for the Rays. He did not have a banner year because of a nagging shoulder injury sustained during an early series in Baltimore in May.
But Upton did pace the Rays when they needed help and finished 2nd in the stolen base race in the AL. Upton then moved up to the 2nd spot in the lineup to be the meat between the Aki and CC sandwich. It further helped him evolve in the lineup and he became comfortable and relaxed in the position.
The final success to the banishment of the 3 "leftie" regime came near the end of the season and the playoffs. With the team more balanced in the lineup, the Rays had the flexibility both on the field and on the bench to matchup more effective with any team.
Upton and Longoria both benefited from the 3 lefties in the lineup with more right-handers going to the mound against the Rays. The leftie revolution might not have been a success, but the experiment also proved to the Rays that they had great options up and down the lineup and the bench.
The fouth goal had to do with extensions for the anchors of the team. Unknown to the general public, during the last week of Spring Training, the Rays and the agent of Evan Longoria were working on a long term deal to contractually secure the budding star for years for the Rays. The deal was suddenly annouced the day Longoria was called up to the Rays, but was in the works for some time while he was down in the minors at Durham.
It secured a hole in the infield for the Rays for at least 5 years and also gave both sides a feeling of confidence going into 2008. Scott Kazmir also got a extended deal right before the season started and it also secured a valuable piece of the starting rotation for years. James Shield was also secured for an extended contract and gave the Rays a bit of relief that their top 2 pitchers were under contract for several years.
Carlos Pena has a sealed deal for 2009, in whole, only Jason Bartlett, the team's 2008 MVP is the only person not under contract for 2009 who plays in the infield. He is in his first year of arbitration and the team might be working on a multi-year deal to keep him in a Ray's uniform until they can decide about the shortstops they have in their minor league system.
Behind the plate, Dioner Navarro is in his first year of arbitration , and he did alot to be sure he will get a nice raise in 2009. With the improved year he had behind the plate, and at the plate, Navarro has done nothing to diminish the vast upward swing on his stock with the team. I will go deeper into who is up for arbitration in another blog.
Goal number 3 seemed a bit out of line when I first wrote it in 2008, but it proved to be a monster move for the team. To say that the team needed a healthy rotation would be a monster in our division sounded a bit far fetched, but it was a true key to 2008 and its success. Not counting the early glitches in Scott Kazmir and Matt Garza's season, the Rays had a fantastic run of luck by having all 5 of their starters' the entire year.
Not only is this rare, but it is almost unheard of that a team could go through most of the season with the same 5 day in and day out. There were aches and pains and displays of emotion throughout the year, but a treu key to this year was the fact they stood on the mound daily and did not give up starts. The consistancy of these 5 guys lead to a flow and a confidence in each other to fulfill their goals everytime they hit the rubber.
All 5 starters' went over 10 wins this year, and even the guy who everyone outside the organization thinks is the weakest link, tied for the team lead with 14 wins. To have that kind of production out of a lineup where the oldest stater is 26 years of age is outstanding. The future of this franchise is based in the fact that they could have these same 5, or a variation of the 5 for the next 4 years on the mound for the Rays.
The second goal of the year is really something that all teams hope and wish for………Health, health, health. What is so amazing about 2008, is the fact that injuries did happen and the team did not miss a step in the field or at the plate. When Kazmir and Garza went down early both before the season, and in it's first weeks, the Rays pitchers' took up the slack and gave it 110 percent. Jason Hammel and Jeff Neiman came on and threw their best in the absence of the team's top pitchers.
In the infield, Willy Aybar came to the Rays with a sorted past, but you would never know it by the way he played in his limited roles all around the infield in 2008. He was one of those true finds that can help a ballclub reach the next level. It did not matter if Carlos Pena went down, or Evan Longoria, Aybar brought his "A" game every night both at the plate and in the field.
In the outfield, when Carl Crawford was out nursing his groin and then his operation on his hand, Eric Hinske and Justin Ruggiano came out and tried to fill the gap as if Crawford had not even left. They played to mix reviews, but did an admirable job and proved the depth of this team's minor league system. When Fernando Perez came up to fill in for B J Upton after an injury, his athletic ability and his speed did not even make you miss Upton.
Perez became an instant favorite of Rays Manager Joe Maddon for his work ethic and his willingness to learn and help the team. But he area that sealed and secured itself even when injury hit was the Bullpen. They saw multiples guys go down this year, from Gary Glover and Al Reyes, to their closer being shut down several times during the year.
These guys just bucked up and took it all in stride and closed the wounds and played their butts off. J P Howell became a fixture in the Bullpen, and became one of the best lefties in the game as a reliever in 2008. Grant Balfour also became a force in the Bullpen and his antics on the mound became legend in the AL. All year long people stepped up and were successful for the team out of the Bullpen.
The number one goal of the team in 2008, was set in motion early by Maddon. Mindset can be a effective tool to the confidence and emtion of a ballclub. Maddon's formula of 9=8 has been around the globe by now.
The theory of 9 men in a lineup playing 9 total innings would eqaute into one of the 8 playoff berths in the MLB. A simple philosophy, but it goes even beyond that theory. It is also expanded by Maddon that if they got 9 more wins from the pitching staff, 9 more wins from the offense, and 9 more wins from the defense and Bullpen, they would be able to secure a playoff spot.
The combined 27 extra wins along with the 69 the team had in 2007 would add up to 96 wins. Wow, consider that for a moment, Seriously here, going inot their last game against Detroit on Sept 30th, the team had a record of 96-65. Did Maddon really think he would or even could imagine a increase like this in one season.
In 2008, there were moments where mondset played a huge part in the team's success. The All-Star break actually might have come at a perfect time for this team after getting shutdown by the Cleveland Indians and Boston Red Sox in straight road series. The break from playing actually might have played into a positive for the team becuse it gave them all a time frame to forget and forgive the bad results and take on the second half of the season with vigor and vitality.
So here we are with the final 5 goals of 2008 examined and I feel that this team is indeed ready and willing to try and make another run at the AL East in 2009. The worst thing the Rays have to adjust to is not being the underdog anymore. Mindset might be the first goal again next year as the Champions are always on the top and people love to knock off the big guys.

Oink, oink, oink… that is the sound a pig makes no matter what size or breed they may be. Another fun lesson coming your way right now is going to be on "how to draw a pig for kids", step by step. Making a pig look cute and inviting to draw is not that hard. To some, pigs have a disgusting appearance, and they are also considered to be dirty animals. Even though pigs are viewed this way, they are in fact very clean, and they enjoy playing in the water more than they do in the mud. I wanted to draw a pig that could be enjoyed by everyone, not just by kids or novice artists. I always say that art is for everybody and I will stick to my guns no matter what. If it wasn't for art, the brains of humans wouldn't reach its full potential. Art is responsible for activating the creative portion of the brain. Anyways, this is a fun activity for anyone to tackle and I think that you will be surprised to find that drawing a pig for kids is going to be a lot more entertaining than you think. I will be back soon with one more lesson for the day, so stay tuned in to see what else I have for ya'll.

OMAHA An All-American City In 1867, the year that Nebraska was admitted to the Union, the state legislature designed a state seal depicting a blacksmith, fields of grain, a steamboat and a train. More than a century later these representations of industry, agriculture and transportation are still appropriate symbols for the state and for its largest city, Omaha, which is located in eastern Nebraska on the west bank of the Missouri River. Eastern Nebraska can trace its agricultural heritage back to the eighteenth century when tribes of Plains Indians — the Otoe, Omaha, Ponca and Pawnee — settled in villages and cultivated crops along the Platte and Missouri Rivers. In the 1840s Mormons in search of religious freedom and prospectors in search of gold traveled the trails near Omaha in their westward journeys to Utah and California. The Missouri River was fast becoming an important shipping artery. The Kansas-Nebraska Act opened lands west of the Missouri, previously reserved for Indians, to settlement in 1854. Pioneers were further encouraged to establish their homes in eastern Nebraska by the passage of the Homestead Act in 1863, which allowed them to claim 160 acres of free land in the territory. In 1865, the Union Pacific Railroad began construction that would eventually link the Atlantic to the Pacific by rail. Omaha was the jumping-off place for the railroad, which stretched across sm Wk&£* i Raising livestock is a key factor in the Nebraska economy.

Nowadays it's all about diversity where business and consumers make their decision based on their needs and joy.
From my point of view, it's difficult for one company to have a monopoly on a market filled with options.
Competition is healthy and that's exactly what Microsoft must have to get back on course. After all, when Microsoft only compete with previously version(s) of Office and VS than there exist a major issue. Both for Microsoft and its customers.
In view of the past we know that Microsoft must do things at least twice before get it right. I still believe this is true.
If Microsoft find themselves behind its competitors they can either buy some companies to get back to the front or put its great number of co-workers in one area to catch up.
Although not all above can be applied for Apple they also need competition to improve their products.
Even if we see a present decline and some desorientation with Windows and VS Microsoft is still a giant in software business. The largeness of the company is its biggest strength as they can manage bad times much better then other small software companies.
For me, as a developer and consumer, I welcome the increased competition and changes as I can always benefit from it.
Real Software faces also some challenges. Can You compete on all platforms? Can You support all platforms?
I assume that the new product line and the new improved upcoming versions of RS must be success otherwise it will be difficult to focus on all major platforms.
In other words, we all must change and become better on what we do to stay in business in a healthy way.
Thanks for a good article, Georg.
Kind regards,

I appreciate and agree with much of what you've written here. However, I think that Real Software is making a bold and perhaps unfortunate gamble by not including support for Metro in its current roadmap. I understand why you aren't supporting Metro for tablets yet (iOS, afterall is the priority), but Metro-style desktop apps is another matter. Here are a few reasons why I think you should reconsider and put Metro (for Desktops) on the roadmap:
1. I wouldn't bet against Microsoft. Just the sheer size of their user-base (not to mention the size of their bank account) means that it will likely make more than a little splash.
2. You point out a couple of negative reviews and videos. But, there has been a tremendous amount of good press and anticipation for this. I'm no Microsoft fanboy by any stretch of the imagination, but I have to admit, they've finally come up with something that's kind of cool. It may require some adjustment at first, but I think people might get past this.
3. Real Studio developers are going to want to be included in the Windows App Store, and to my knowledge, this is going to be for Metro-style apps. And even if I'm wrong about this, the Metro apps will be spotlighted and be given all of the attention because this is where Microsoft sees their future.
4. Agreed, Microsoft Office will not be a metro app, so Desktop apps will certainly live on. But I would bet that very few RealStudio developers are working on apps the scale of Microsoft Office. Less complex apps can certainly be metro-ized, and the trend now (look at all the apps on the Mac App Store for proof) is towards simpler more specialized apps. Do you really want to hinder Real Studio developers from being able to capitalize on this segment of the Windows market, and force us to use Visual Studio to build Metro desktop apps.
I'm a huge supporter of Real Software, and in general, I agree and am grateful for much of the ways you've steered the company. However, I think you might be making a big mistake in this regard and would ask you to re-consider.
I would hope that at the very least you're expending some R&D into seeing what it would take to metro-ize RealStudio apps (isn't it primarily an HTML/Javascript overlay. And isn't that something your company now has some expertise in).
You may be right in that a dwindling market share for Microsoft is good for Real and for cross platform development. But, it's not good for Real if their software for the desktop is no longer truly cross-platform because it doesn't support fully the latest operating system of the market leader.

@ Steve - we are investigating Metro. We don't include it in the road map just yet because (a) we have other priorities for Windows support that we are still working on (such as 64 bit) and (b) I want to see more signs that Metro is in fact going to see wide adoption.
And at this point, if we were going to support Metro, it would be via the new framework we have planned. That would make the most sense.

I can only talk about Windows Phone 7.5 (and the new WP8). The Metro style is awesome on the phone. and it doing very well and lots of people have a great experience with it. So microsoft is pushing that interface over to the desktop.
now windows 8 and windows phone 7.5/8 has almost zero common code. they call both windows to build up the market share of that name. the little they share in common is the look/feel.
my personal opinion (and I can be wrong), WIndowPhone support by Real is more important than Windows Metro. And yes there is a WP7.5 feedback request.

Touch on OEM desktop models is the wildcard here. If that ends up being compelling, it will drive sales of new hardware. But the installed base without touch enabled screens may be a bit overwhelmed with Metro.

Well, personally, I am taking a wait and see attitude. I didn't start installing Windows 7 until a year after deployment.
I have a feeling most corporate IT shops will delay deployment, especially if it requires new hardware like touch or motion sense.
You've probably seen this before, but history does repeat . . .
Windows 2 - Failed
Windows 3.11 - Success
Windows 95 - Failed
Windows 98 - Success
Windows ME - Failed
Windows XP - Success
Windows Vista - Failed
Windows 7 - Success
Windows 8 - . . .
Likely Windows 8 will need a second attempt.

Interestingly enough, Microsoft has reversed course on the decision regarding VS2012: http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2012/06/no-cost-windows-8-desktop-development-returns-with-express-for-desktop/
- June 8, 2012 at 7:50 PM
As Windows 7 will be the next XP for business and power users, Microsoft doesn't care if 8 will be a success or not. Remember the first year of Vista marketing? Vista was a complete success and sold well (with new HW and the users downgraded to XP - bought 4 Dells during this period, all with Vista preinstalled but XP Disks included...)
Windows 8 and Mountain Lion are bold moves towards the dumbing of the desktop that I have great fears for.
Bold to be against Microsoft, wish you best of luck. However, as a Windows-only developer using RS looks like 2012 will be a lost year. Still plenty of Windows 7 related bugs and lack of features.
A good thing to make the IDE free as I can follow the development during 2012 without paying the renewals, looks like the RS cycle is bi-annual - my development have been using 5.5, 2009r5.1 and now 2011r4.3
See you late 2013 (unless our Delphi migration goes well)

The kesuba (marriage contract) is written in a smattering of Hebrew with Aramaic thrown in. It is possible that onr or both parties may not know what all the words in the kesuba mean. Furthermore it promises vague amounts of money, which many men may not realize the current market value of. At some weddings I have seen a Rav broadly outline the meaning of the document, but usually only to the husband only.
If this is a legal document why don't we write it in the language that the parties both speak? Is the document valid if one or both parties don't really understand what is in it?

Caesarean section..
A Caesarean section, also spelled Caesarian or Cesarean and often without the upper case C, is the surgical delivery of a child. It is a term with an interesting etymology and lots of associated folklore.
The term comes from the name of Julius Caesar, who according to legend was delivered by this method. From R. Jonas's 1540 translation of Roesslin's Byrth of Mankynde:
They that are borne after this fashion be called cesares, for because they be cut out of theyr mothers belly, whervpon also the noble Romane cesar the .j. of that name in Rome toke his name.
Although this is where the term Caesarean comes from, this legend about Julius's birth is almost certainly false. While surgical deliveries were known in ancient Rome, they invariably resulted in the death of the mother and Julius's mother, Aurelia, lived well into her son's adulthood. It is possible that one of Julius' ancestors was delivered in this fashion and bequeathed the name to the family. Although Pliny reports that the name comes from caesaries, or hair, as the future dictator of Rome was born with a full head of hair.
The term Caesarian section dates to 1615, first appearing in Helkiah Crooke's A Description of the Body of Man.

Tile Heritage Mission
23/12/10 22:31 Filed in: Tile Heritage Mission
The Tile Heritage Foundation, founded in 1987 as a nonprofit charitable organization, is dedicated to promoting an awareness and appreciation of ceramic surfaces in the United States. The Foundation serves the need for a historical perspective regarding all ceramic surfacing materials, both past and present. In addition to aiding in the education of the public about the rich and varied history of tile, the organization has become a major voice in the preservation of existing installations of rare and unusual ceramic surfaces while enhancing the visibility of contemporary tile work as well.
Tile Heritage involves more than the promotion and protection of tiles, murals and mosaics. The Foundation represents the need to preserve a perception of ourselves. From the time of the earliest cave paintings and molded clay forms, people have always sought to conceptualize themselves and inspire others through artistic endeavors. Safekeeping ceramic surfaces today is an integral part of preserving ourselves, a means of being remembered and understood by future generations.
"There is no more market for old tiles than for diseased tonsils."
Albert Solon, founder of Solon & Schemmel, manufacturers of wall and floor tile
in San Jose, California, in correspondence to a friend and former employer, October 29, 1930.
As we expand and remodel our existing world, increasing numbers of old tiles as well as architectural terra cotta and mosaic facades are torn away, thoughtlessly discarded and lost forever. Join in the historic venture to unearth the ceramic traditions that beautify our homes and urban centers today. Participate in playing a vital role in stimulating public appreciation and support for our national ceramic treasure. Invest in preserving one of America's most permanent, yet vulnerable, artistic traditions. Why should we care about the fate of ceramic surfaces in America? Because we are all a part of the tradition; this is our heritage.

If the Albert Cuyp Market was a field, i was a plow.
I've never been surrounded by so many sumptuous and tempting things to try – from the wafels to the hot chocolate to the small bucket of olives i purchased. Plus, as a mayo-loving french-fries eater whose allergic to ketchup, i just adored the frites stand that sold paper cones stuffed with fries slathered in mayo. And the cheese, sweet Holy Mary the cheese! The displays were utterly intoxicating.
We'd decided, for our second day, to set aside the whole morning to explore the oldest street market in the Netherlands: the Albert Cuyp Market. Lining the block were some of the most eclectic stalls i'd ever beheld (including my experiences in pre-burned-down Owino Market in Kampala). There was an entire pharmacy spread wide under a tent and in the cold, more lingerie shoppes than i could count, a plethora of places to purchase scarves and the like, and a few stalls reserved for Amsterdam-themed souvenirs. Interspersed between the flower stalls (oh, the tulips!) and garter belts were the main attraction: street food.
I love street markets – the chaos, the food, the cool vintage things you can find, the food, and the experience of feeling like a local. As much as i may love doing silly tourist-y thing (see me in a large wooden shoe, below) i always try to find at least on thing per travel destination that gives me some sense of what it would be like to live there. Naturally, we were not the only tourists strolling about the market. But tourists were in a serious minority here, amongst the clamor of Dutch-speaking voices selling flowers and toothpaste and lingerie. I'd easily say this was one of my most-favorite things we did in Amsterdam!
Having sufficiently eaten our way through the market, we made our way over the Dam Square for more sightseeing. At the sight of THE LARGEST SHOE i have ever seen, there was a lot of squealing and leaping in to take pictures. So much for trying to blend in!
About a block or so up from Dam Square is the (in)famous Red Light District. We chortled our way through all the funny little shops and such surrounding the red-lamped alleyways, but they definitely are not the reason i'd wanted to go to the city. And the whole district is clearly geared for people visiting the city, not the residents themselves. The gift shops are certainly amusing to visit, but once i'd cracked up at enough genitalia plastered on velvet hats (et cetera) i'd had my fill. Definitely would not say this was the family-friendly place to go on a holiday to the city, but as two young women walking around in the middle of the afternoon we felt pretty safe and took the whole thing in with a sense of humor.
By then it was high time we ate, again. Utilizing a combination of my Lonely Planet guidebook and the MOST EXCELLENT TripAdvisor City Guide App, we arrived at the quirky and chic van Kerkwijk. With whitewashed, wood paneled walls and candles adorning the tables, we knew this promised to be a unique place to dine.
Turned out there's no written menu at van Kerkwijk, so our gracious waitress just plopped right down at our table and talked us through the extensive list of their eclectic combinations. When asked what was a truly Dutch thing to try, she explained that the port-city-nature of Amsterdam meant all Dutch food was really a mash-up of European and Indonesian cuisine. We asked for an appetizer that involved bread and cheese, so she brought out a bleu cheese paté-type-thing that was incredible. For our entrées, Abby had steak with strawberry cream and goat cheese, and i had Indonesian chicken. We split a salad and (of course!) frites with glorified mayo.
It was an exquisite capping off to two days and three nights of fabulous dining. But, alas, the next morning we were whisked off to the airport leaving behind Amsterdam's canals and bike lanes for a flight home to Edinburgh.
Though we'd only had an all-too-short time in Amsterdam, i was utterly entranced. It is a beautiful place (even in the cold!) and i am ever grateful for the opportunities i had to visit.
current jam: 'day that i die' zac brown band.
best thing: productivity. back to dale martin, for now.
of interest: i've added a new page at the top of the screen! it's still a work in a progress, but have a look if you like!

What makes a superior solid shell?
The foremost quality a solid shell must have is stability. While any solid shell will be affected by the climate to some degree, it must move in a symmetrical fashion, not releasing tension and turning into an oval. DF solids - stable for the long haul.
Solid shells must be dimensionally accurate. We measure this by critically maintaining the consistent thickness of the shell walls, and make sure the walls are parallel all the way around the shell. Our CNC machining process enables us to do this through computer controlled consistency.
Who cares about all that if the shell doesn't look great? We sort through thousands of board feet to find the best figuring available for the specific species we are searching for. All the sample pictures of the shells represent a typical degree of shell figuring, not just the best one we've ever made.
Before ordering, please be sure to READ the information in the additional tabs above. There is important information that will answer many of the questions you have. Other exotic wood shells may be available - please contact us for a quote. Exotic wood shells are significantly more costly than domestic hardwoods, and the availability is subject to wood availability and our production schedule.
All shells are made to order and require 100% payment in advance.
Shells are guaranteed to be structurally sound and dimensionally accurate. However, wood is a natural product and your shell will not look like any sample photos we may have sent. Every species of wood has its own grain personality and naturally occurring visual features. These are not considered defects. Do not expect the outer seam of a solid shell to look like the seam of a ply shell. Solid shells are made in a completely different manner than ply shells, and thus the outer seam will rarely if ever be an absolutely straight line, and may or may not have minor anomalies.
We can provide the shell raw, a gloss finish, or a satin finish. Raw shells are only finished sanded, and are considered a raw product that will need additional prep work on your part to finish. While we can provide some guidance on finishing, we make no guarantee or warranty related to the customer's finishing methods or skills, as the materials used and the conditions vary widely.
Shells are made to order. We cannot provide a specific delivery date. Assume that the shell will take a minimum of 2 months to complete. The actual time may be
. There are many factors that affect how long it takes to produce a solid shell, including but not limited to: how busy we are, availability of wood, and shells that may need to be redone due to problems encountered during production of your shell. We may need to start your shell over which will delay delivery. We want you to be satisfied, and that will take some time to accomplish.

Burundi's constitution guarantees freedom of speech and of the press, but these rights are not respected in practice. The press laws are harshly restrictive, imposing criminal penalties on journalists for defamation, discrediting the state, insulting the head of state, and "threatening state security." Government officials are openly hostile to critical media, and in 2011 they stepped up attacks on the independent press. Burundi's 1997 Press Law forbids dissemination of "information inciting civil disobedience or serving as propaganda for enemies of the Burundian nation during a time of war." The 2003 Media Law provides for harsh fines and prison terms of up to five years for the dissemination of information that insults the president or is defamatory toward other individuals. The law also prohibits racially or ethnically motivated hate speech.
In 2011, the Burundian authorities increased their harassment of critical independent media—especially Radio Publique Africaine (RPA) and Radio Isanganiro—through frequent summonses and arrests of journalists, as well as threats to close outlets. The government also arrested several lawyers, including those who defended journalists. Analysts said the judiciary's record in cases involving crimes against government critics raised questions about its neutrality. Journalists were harassed for activities including interviewing a government opponent in exile, quoting a speech by the U.S. secretary of state in which she mentioned the uprisings in the Middle East and North Africa, and quoting the head of the law council who criticized judges for repeatedly jailing people at the behest of the prosecutor's office.
In April, the National Council for Communication (CNC), the state agency that oversees the enforcement of media laws, suspended an RPA talk show for four days based on allegations that a caller had abused the head of state. The station said phone lines to its studio were disconnected for seven days in May, apparently on the orders of the National Telecommunications Office, to prevent listeners from participating in live phone-in programs. However, the station subsequently aired several more live and taped interviews with opposition leaders without repercussions.
After a September attack by armed gunmen near the village of Gatumba that killed more than 30 people—which was blamed on the National Liberation Forces (FNL) rebel group—the government imposed a one-month ban on broadcasting or publishing any information about the incident. Communication Minister Concilie Nibigira justified the one-month ban on the grounds of "guaranteeing peace and security" and ensuring "the successful conclusion of the investigations," and said those who defied the ban would be in beach of the 2003 Media Law. A few days after the directive, most radio stations simultaneously broadcast interviews about the Gatumba massacre in a show of defiance; the government took no action against them, and the stations resumed complying with the order. In November, the public prosecutor summoned and questioned Radio Bonesha FM director Patrick Nduwimana and RPA editor in chief Bob Rugurika—who was questioned by police repeatedly in 2011—after they broadcast reports about the Gatumba attack after the deadline had passed. The prosecutor also questioned the directors of RPA and Radio Isanganiro about suspicions that their stations' funding sources were linked to the rebel group.
In November, Hassan Ruvakuki, a reporter for Radio Bonesha and a correspondent for the Swahili service of Radio France Internationale, was arrested for interviewing an alleged leader of a new rebel group. He was charged with supporting the activities of a rebel group, and later with engaging in terrorist acts. Radio Bonesha continued to be harassed by the security services, who demanded information on the group. The CNC reportedly issued a ban on media coverage of the new group after the interview had aired. Ruvakuki remained in custody at the end of the year.
The government dominates Burundi's media industry. It runs Radio Télévision Nationale du Burundi (RTNB), the sole television and radio stations with national coverage; and Le Renouveau, the only newspaper that publishes regularly. RTNB broadcasts in Kirundi, Swahili, French, and English, and boasts a wider reach than the proliferating privately owned stations, most of whose programming comprises music and entertainment. The law explicitly prohibits political parties, labor unions, and foreign nongovernmental organizations from owning media outlets.
Internet access remains very low, at 1.1 percent, due to the high cost of the service. However, the number of mobile phone subscribers grew to around 25 percent of the nation's eight million people in 2011, according to the telecommunications regulator. In May 2011, Jean-Claude Kavumbagu, the editor of the independent online newspaper NetPress, who had been in detention for 10 months on charges of treason and defamation, was acquitted of these charges. Prosecutors had asked judges to sentence him to life imprisonment over an opinion article that questioned the capability of the country's security forces to adequately respond to a terrorist attack. Kavumbagu was instead found guilty of publishing an article "liable to undermine the state's credibility and national economy," and sentenced to eight months in prison and a fine of 100,000 Burundian francs ($80). He was immediately freed because he had spent more than 10 months in pretrial detention.

Thank you, thank you…I was placing all of the blame on myself. I happened to wear the same Packer shirt I wore during the last Bears game. So what do you say? I'll take 40% if you'll take 60% (couch spots ARE more powerful).
