Rebuild or reload? White Sox evaluating options
CHICAGO -- Rick Hahn has a decision to make. Make that decisions.
His White Sox are not in position to contend this season. He understands that fact. Even the players and coaches have an idea, despite working hard every day to turn things around.
CHICAGO -- Rick Hahn has a decision to make. Make that decisions.
His White Sox are not in position to contend this season. He understands that fact. Even the players and coaches have an idea, despite working hard every day to turn things around.
An easy solution is to tear down the roster and start a massive rebuild. But that really hasn't been the White Sox way since the "Kids Can Play" days of the late 1990s, although they have tried to infuse youth into their lineup and pitching staff in each season over the past four or five years.
Any moves made prior to the non-waiver Trade Deadline on July 31 probably won't go down before the much-talked about three-year White Sox board is consulted and examined.
If Hahn and his staff believe the White Sox have what it takes to consistently compete over the next three seasons, starting with a strong pitching staff that has been this season's lone constant, then the general manager might be about retooling and reshaping. If a belief exists that the White Sox won't match up to the Tigers or other top teams in the American League and a younger core needs to be heavily strengthened to avoid getting caught with a team too old to be competitive, then it could be about wholesale refurbishing.
Ask the current White Sox about their makeup and they don't doubt for a second the talent is in place. It was a point reiterated by Hahn on Sunday, followed by expressions of stunned surprise as to how this team sits 15 games under .500 and 10 1/2 games behind both the Tigers and Indians.
"I don't think there's any fault in what we have," White Sox second baseman Gordon Beckham said. "We've got good players that go and do the work. Unfortunately, so far it hasn't worked out. You have to keep on hoping that it does and just keep on fighting. That's all you can do."
"We want to stay together. That's the main thing," White Sox ace Chris Sale said. "We know to stay together, we have to turn things around."
It's difficult to see a way in which a complete turnaround happens.
As Beckham explained, when the team starts making a small push toward respectability, something like his self-described "stupid" ninth-inning infield run-in with two outs against the Mets leads to a routine popup dropping and a game-tying run scoring. The White Sox walked off to victory on that particular night, but there are countless examples this season of game-changing miscues or fundamental mistakes -- true momentum breakers.
"That just kind of reinforces the fact that we are not going in the right way," said Beckham of his team's inability to put wins together.
Valuable trade-worthy components certainly exist on the White Sox.
Right-handed reliever Jesse Crain, in the final season of his three-year deal, has proven to be one of the game's best relievers this season. Alex Rios is a talented five-tool outfield talent, with one year and an option left on his contract, while Jake Peavy could net the biggest return as an accomplished top-of-the-rotation starter under control for the 2014 season at $14.5 million, with a performance-based bonus for 2015.
Peavy currently is working his way back from a fractured rib on his left side, but he could be on a Major League mound immediately after the All-Star break.
Veterans making good money in the last year or two of deals will be front and center on the White Sox trading block, with "high-impact premium talent" the return target per Hahn's description. But in considering this three-year plan, the White Sox can't afford to trade a veteran contributor just to make a move and can't exclude young players being shipped out as part of the process.
Someone such as Sale, one of the game's top young starters and potentially under control through 2019, would no doubt warrant a huge package of talent in return, and Hahn will have to be overwhelmed just to consider it. Closer Addison Reed, reliever Nate Jones, starter Hector Santiago and potentially even Beckham, could be asked about and Hahn could listen.
In the case of Peavy, he has served as a mentor to young starters such as Sale and could stay around if that three-year plan shows signs of growth.
One point to remember is that this year's squad is the same basic group to hold down first place in the AL Central for 117 days in 2012. As quickly as a team slips, it can turn around just as fast. Take a look at the 72-90 White Sox squad in 2007, which became the 2008 AL Central champs the next season.
Changes need to be made, and the White Sox faithful has shown just as much interest in watching top prospects Josh Phegley behind the plate, Erik Johnson on the mound, Carlos Sanchez on the infield and even Jared Mitchell in the outfield as the Major League talent at U.S. Cellular.
These next few weeks or months will begin to shape the Hahn era, but major moves won't be made without fitting into the bigger picture. It's just not the White Sox way.

In Illinois' 14th Congressional District, two Democrats are running in the March 18 primary for a chance to unseat Republican U.S. Rep. Randy Hultgren in November.
The 14th Congressional District includes all of McHenry County with the exception of Algonquin Township, and parts of Kane, Lake, Kendall, DuPage, DeKalb and Will counties.
Dennis Anderson of Gurnee, who is retired after working most recently for the Cardinal Bernardin Cancer Center at the University of Loyola-Chicago as the assistant director for research support, is making his second run for the post after losing to Hultgren in 2012.
John Hosta of Spring Grove is the owner and president of Elite Quilting Co., a manufacturer of custom bedding for interior designers. This is his first run for Congress.
Hosta says he would work to improve what he called weak U.S. trade policies that have wiped out manufacturing jobs in the U.S. He said he would work with leadership from both parties to improve the Affordable Care Act.
Hosta said there needs to be significant reforms to welfare, food stamps and Medicaid programs to eliminate waste and save tens of billions of dollars. He also says billions of more dollars can be saved by ending or significantly reducing corporate welfare.
We recommend Hosta in the Democratic primary.

Religion and Environment Conservation in Bali
Balinese religion, Hindu with all its numerous religious ritual and ceremonies depends largely on the nature for its survival. There is a constant demand leave – coconut leave, banana leave, bamboo leave, jackfruit leave virtually all leave native to Bali; flower – all flower that have fragrance scent and bright color; trunk – areca nut trunk, banana trunk, bamboo, etc. Sometimes even branch and twig are used in the ceremony. All parts of plant from most of the plants that grown in Bali are needed in the ceremony.
Animal just the same, thousands of chickens, hundreds of ducks and dozens of other animals are sacrificed each month in Bali, this small figure can be doubled when the month is full with auspicious day suitable for a ceremony. The biggest animal sacrifice in Bali is in Eka Dasa Rudra ceremony (a great exorcism once every a hundred years) where every sort of animal native to Bali, and that including everything from insect up to tiger, from turtle up to eagle is sacrificed in the ceremony. These never-ending animal sacrifices create a constant demand on the animal.
So what is the relation between the ceremonies and animal sacrifices with the conservation of the environment in Bali? The constant demand on plants and animals in Bali has to be fulfilled with a constant supply of the required plants and animals and of course, the constant availability of the required plants and animals can only be reached with good environment conservation. Without good environment conservation, due to the unceasing demand, soon or later, the required plants and animals will be extinct; and if they are gone, no religious rituals and ceremonies can be performed.
Moreover, Balinese not just need the plants and animals; they preserve the plants and animals for the sake of the religious ritual ceremonies. And they show their gratitude to the nature in their indigenous way, of course, once again, through offering and ceremony. There is a Tumpek Wariga ceremony where a ceremony is held for those plants that provide useful and important products for Balinese people. Offerings and prayer of thanks and appreciation are dedicated to God and plants that He created as a source of life. Animal is also has a special day known as Tumpek Andang or Tumpek Uye when prayers of thanks are said, offerings are wafted toward the animals, and all of them are sprinkled with holy water and showered with uncooked rice. The animal is honored in this special day.
Finally, all religious rituals and ceremonies in Bali create a need for environment conservation. It is a unique way to preserve the nature, though the ritual and ceremonies do not directly intended to conserve the nature but indirectly, their existence support the existence of the environment.
P.S. Thank to I Nyoman Sadra for giving me an interesting insight into the connection of the religious ceremony and conservation of environment.

April 29, 2008
The Lady Bisons softball team did all they could to win a championship this year. They finished the season with a 16-6 conference record and left the rest in the hands of fate. It seems they did enough.
The Atlantic Sun conference announced Tuesday night that the Lady Bisons ended the season as part of a three way tie for the A-Sun Regular Season Championship with conference newcomers Florida Gulf Coast and USC Upstate.
"I don't even know what to think right now." said head coach Kristin Peck. "We knew what we had to do to win and we stepped up and did it. It felt like an eternity waiting for the final results to come in. There was no more that we could do to win the championship."
"Our players are on fire right now. They have never won a championship and they are excited. This is going to be something that our players are going to remember forever and nobody can take this away from them but we want to follow it up with a trip to NCAA Tournament and we've only got a few more days left to prepare before we head to Florida."
The Lady Bisons earned the number one seed in the 2008 Atlantic Sun Softball Championship and play the No. 6 seed Gardner-Webb at 10 a.m. on March 8, in the first round of the double elimination tournament to be held at Patricia Wilson Field on the campus of Stetson University in DeLand, Florida.

How To Build a Spice Rack: Susy's White and Minimal
When we showed you Susy's simple and perfectly organized kitchen, several of you immediately went ga-ga over her minimalist spice rack. One reader sent us the photo above and begged us to tell her where to find.
Well, you can't buy it, but you can build it! Susy built the spice rack out of common and inexpensive materials, and she very kindly shared her template with us. Read on for instructions, photos and even a diagram!
Susy says she is rather embarrassed by all the attention the spice rack received; she says it's rather silly and inexpensive. We think she's being overly modest - we love how simple the rack is, and how many spice bottles it holds. This is far more usable than the tiny 6 or 12 bottle racks we usually see. Also, even though the spices are exposed to light, we like that they are far away from the stove. Even a drawer near the stove can get hot, and a rack on the wall is probably better.
Here are Susy's instructions:
How To Build a Spice Rack Out of Vinyl Moulding
• The molding came from Home Depot. It's plastic - almost like a Styrofoam - and square. It's easy to cut in a miter box. (I'm always on the lookout for stuff like that.)
• Molding specs: "Blind Stop White Vinyl Never Rot" cellular vinyl moulding. 5/8" by 5/8". $5.15 per 8'. SKU 246871.
• I made ten 2-foot pieces and three 22-inch pieces.
• With little white brads, I nailed 5 of the cross pieces at equal intervals on the uprights (just far enough apart for the jars). I then nailed 5 more cross pieces onto the existing cross pieces to make the shelf wide enough for the spice jars. I'd originally intended just one piece but the resulting shelf was too narrow for the jars. Then I nailed it to the wall, again with brads (it's very light).
• The jars are from Cost Plus originally but I've also found them at Bed Bath and Beyond. I alphabetize them roughly (they're out of order all the time) and also label the tops with Avery removable round stickers. Mainly I just pick 'em by sight when I'm cooking.
Thank you so much, Susy!

Provost Mike Sherman discusses how the culture at Akron is evolving to one in which academics are paramount, evidenced by organizational changes in the last year, by a shift in how academic-support units are viewed and by how the forthcoming budget proposal is being designed.
He also describes the plan to increase faculty ranks by some 200 members and how Clusters of Innovation will be formed to foster interdisciplinary research.
Why the Choose Ohio First Scholarship Program
at Akron has emerged as the state's best
Akron's comprehensive implementation of the scholarship program — it is much more than financial support — has made it a model in the state.

Dwell on Design continued today, with great design and discussion both inside the conference hall and outside, where prefab structures from kitHAUS, great green products, and sleek exterior grade furniture took center stage. Shades of Green Landscaping created the planted park appeal and softened the parking lot outside. Inhabitat featured kitHAUS in the past, but this time we were able to engage in a deeper conversation about sourcing materials, such the Brazilian Ipe wood featured in their latest designs.
Just a few trade shows ago products made of the recycled paper composite Richlite (also known as paperstone) were considered expensive and not readily available. At this year's Dwell on Design SF Exhibit we found outdoor furniture created from surplus Richlite slabs assembled in 'cutting edge' new ways. DesuDesign presented Plateau, a new collection of multifunctional outdoor furniture made from the superbly durable paper composite material.
Dwell contracted with Back to Earth Catering for all the fantastic gastronomic creations.. from the zero waste organic boxed lunches to last night's cocktail party favorite- potato and yam martinis.
Inside, the conversation continued to inspire. Moderator John Hockeberry opened with a conversation discussing The Scalable City?, leaving us to question the density of our local neighborhoods. Kirstin Ritchie, Director of Sustainable Design from Gensler, brought an engineering perspective, inspiring us to go home and inspect our belongings and materials to ensure the "greenness" of our lifestyles. After the break the topic went back to the large scale, looking more specifically at the density of housing, before closing with a panel on New Regionalism, with one of our favorite fellow bloggers, Geoff Manaugh, of BLDGBLOG.
Overall the past few days of speakers have left our minds spinning and inspired, filled with the type of evocative memories that have us looking forward to Dwell on Design in Los Angeles next year.
Check back later for old favorites and new products highlighted in the following weeks, and don't forget tomorrow's Community Forum talk at 3:30pm with Inhabitat's Managing Editor, Emily Pilloton.

DeKALB – Abdel Nader didn't want to go to overtime.
With Northern Illinois tied with Kent State in the final seconds of Wednesday night's men's basketball game at the Convocation Center, the ball was in Nader's hands. The Huskies' sophomore wing was either going to give the Huskies the win, or the two teams would head to the extra period.
Nader took a pass from Travon Baker, and with about three seconds left, let go of a shot near the top of the key. The basket went through the net, and the Huskies escaped with a 67-65 win.
"I was just thinking, I really need to get a shot off," Nader said. "I just noticed [the defender] was playing off me a little bit, so I just knew I could go to my step-back (jumper), and it worked."
When asked if he was comfortable from the spot of the floor where he let go of the shot – to the right of the key and about 18 feet from the basket – Nader said he's comfortable from any spot of the floor.
NIU coach Mark Montgomery jumped on the microphone and agreed, saying Nader isn't afraid to take a shot from anywhere.
"I was going to see how he answered that. He's not shy from any spot," Montgomery said. "He can put his shot off from any spot."
Nader had a season-high 26 points, which also tied his career high. On the final play, he waited until there were about seven seconds left to take the game-winning shot. Kent State coach Rob Senderoff said it wasn't a surprise to see the rock in Nader's hands.
"We figured he'd have the ball. He made a tough shot," Senderoff said. "He deserves credit for making that shot. That's not an easy shot. But he's a good player, and he played very well tonight obviously."
For NIU (5-14, 3-4 Mid-American Conference) it was a completely different game compared to Saturday's disastrous 42-25 loss at Eastern Michigan.
The Huskies shot 46.8 percent from the field (22 of 47) Wednesday, compared to just 13 percent, an NCAA record in the shot clock era, on Saturday.
NIU was 7 of 13 (53.8 percent) from beyond the arc in Wednesday's victory after shooting just 1 of 33 against the Eagles.
The Huskies were helped out by a strong start. NIU jumped out to an 11-3 lead and led 34-27 at halftime.
"What a difference from Saturday to Wednesday," Montgomery said. "I loved how our players came out and responded from a tough game at Eastern. I thought the start really helped get us going."
With the victory, the Huskies equal their number of wins from last season, and conference victories from 2011-13. NIU's next game is Saturday at 3 p.m. against Toledo at the Convocation Center.

Wofford signs a program-record 27 players, some of whom had offers to play for larger FBS schools.
Bigger is not necessarily better.
But this Wofford football recruiting class, according to the coaches, is both.
Wofford added 27 players Wednesday, National Signing Day, for the largest class in the program's Division I history. It is also the most talented group, they said.
At a celebration organized mostly for members of the Terrier Club in the Richardson Building, head coach Mike Ayers was being asked about how this class stacks up with some of the others during his quarter century.
Before the question was even finished, Ayers had his answer.
"Best," he blurted out. "By far."
For Ayers and recruiting coordinator Jack Teachey, who has been on the staff for two decades, this class appears to be the cream of the crops.
"We're fired up," Teachey said. "It's on paper, but as far as what we've done in the past 25 years, we feel that it's the best class by far. And I mean by far.
"The quality of kid we got is amazing. We rate them on a board and we didn't drop below that first line at all. In some cases, we beat FBS teams. There were four of five kids that had offers from schools in the Sun Belt, Mid-American Conference and others. And we got them."
Wofford landed five defensive players who apparently had offers from schools in the NCAA Football Bowl Championship division.
The Terriers got linebacker Lincoln Stewart from Deltona, Fla. (offered by East Carolina); defensive lineman Tyler Vaughn from McDonough, Ga. (Akron); cornerback Jamario Williams from Hilton Head Christian (Navy); defensive end Steven Cornellier from Jacksonville, Fla. (Air Force); and safety Nick Ward from Moore, Okla. (Air Force). Moore also was given the chance to also play baseball for the Terriers. He was one of the last to make up his mind.
"(Ward) had several offers," Teachey said. "He just had a lot going on and it was a tough decision. … He's a lot like (2012 senior standout) James Zotto, but bigger. Nick is going to be a 220-pound kid who can run and he also has a great mind. He has the 'it' factor. He's a big-time get for us."
Wofford coaches worked hard for Stewart, according to Teachey, and several made trips to Florida. It was persistence that helped Stewart decline a last-minute offer from ECU.
"(Assistant coach) ShaDon Brown worked his fanny off for Lincoln," Teachey said. "ShaDon is a great recruiter, a tireless recruiter. He put in a lot of hours and had a great rapport with (Stewart). That's probably the single-greatest reason we got him."
Wofford signed four quarterbacks: Brad Butler from Rome, Ga.; Nick Colvin from Bogart, Ga.; Brandon Goodson from Dacula, Ga.; and preferred walk-on David Howerton from Asheville, N.C. The Terriers signed one more quarterback, Coleton Robinson from De Leon Springs, Fla., but have already tagged him as a cornerback.
"In most high schools, the quarterback is the best athlete," Teachey said. "That dates back to Bear Bryant. He signed 10 or 12 every year. We really have seven or eight guys who have played quarterback. They have great intellect and great football IQ … It will all shake out eventually. I don't think they all end up at quarterback, but we'll give them a shot."
The Terriers also signed six offensive linemen: Alexander "Roo" Daniels from Hammond School in Columbia; Mike Jones from Danville, Ky.; Davis Lenoir from Collierville, Tenn.; Justin Lott or Braxton, Ga.; Chuck Rouse from Wando High School; and Anton Wahrby from Lexington by way of Sweden as a foreign exchange student.
Among the other signees on offense were wide receiver Dakota Hopper of Madison, N.C; running backs Lorenzo Long of Cantonment, Fla., and Chris Martin from Columbia, Tenn.; and tight end T.J. Novotny of Milwaukee.
The Terriers signed three defensive ends in Cornellier; Boston Bryant (Williamsburg, Ky.) and Brandon Curtis (Bushnell, Fla.). Wofford also got defensive backs Jaleel Green (Jacksonville, Fla.) and Cole Higbie (Atlanta); linebackers Dylan Young (Collierville, Tenn.) and Terrance Morris (Chester); and kicker/punter David Marvin (Charlotte).
"Top to bottom, this is the best class we've ever had," Ayers said. "It's athletic, it has size, it fills our needs and they are all good kids. It's a classy group. All those factors, along with their ability to play ball, means they are going to help us tremendously."

Adding Color: Pattern on Pattern
Think your space is bold because you've got intense red walls or a bright orange couch? Close, but no cigar. To really push the limits of boldness in your interior spaces, it's time to experiment with colorful pattern on crazy pattern. And we've got a set of photos that will have you wishing you were mixing prints right this minute.
We could try and give you some tips on how to implement pattern on pattern, but the truth is it's a dicey, feel-it-out-on-your-own sort of thing that just has to be tackled to be successful. Go with your gut when facing two (or three) patterns that you think should go together. They could have a common element and you could have a reason why you think they'll go together, but you also don't have to. It's your house and if you think two things go together, they do! Proof that plenty of folks delve into the world of pattern on pattern with brave hearts:

A 23-year-old man was shot to death and another man was wounded early Sunday when they were ambushed on the 600 block of Swiss Drive in Lakeland, deputies said.
KATHLEEN | A 23-year-old man was shot to death and another man was wounded early Sunday when they were ambushed on the 600 block of Swiss Drive in Lakeland, deputies said.
Sean A. Williamson was returning home from Ybor City around 4 a.m. with a 29-year-old friend and co-worker. Outside Williamson's mother's house, a dark-colored vehicle blocked the friend's car, the Polk County Sheriff's Office said.
Two unidentified men fired numerous shots at Williamson and his friend, then drove off, deputies said.
Wounded, Williamson's friend, whom police have not identified, drove himself to Lakeland Regional Medical Center, where he underwent surgery.
Williamson, who lived with his mother, died at the scene, deputies said.
Police did not release how many shots were fired, but Sunday afternoon as investigators worked, approximately 18 markers were scattered around the crime scene.
Polk County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Carrie Eleazer said detectives aren't sure whether Williamson was outside or inside the car when the shooting started. She said detectives were planning to interview the friend as soon as he had recovered from surgery enough to communicate.
Neighbors and friends said they were shocked to hear Williamson was gunned down.
Kay Holloway lives across from the intersection of Swiss and Ponderosa, where deputies found Williamson. She saw him frequently around the Northwest Lakeland neighborhood and said he appeared to have a close relationship with his mother.
"He was nice, quiet, respectable," she said. "He was never out of order."
Antavio T.O. Johnson, 23, said he grew up with Williamson and considered him to be his brother. He said Williamson graduated from Kathleen High School, worked at Publix and has a 3-year-old daughter.
Williamson's passion was hip-hop music, he said.
Johnson and Williamson began making music when they were around 11 years old and have performed shows around Central Florida, he said. With other friends, the two created Skee Bwoi, which stands for "soldiers keeping each other elevated beyond whatever obstacles intervene."
Williamson, who went by the nickname All Starr, also performed in the hip-hop group !3R@VO, Johnson said.
Johnson and Truth Davis, who is !3R@VO's manager, and other friends somberly stood outside a house near where Williamson was killed Sunday. The group said Williamson was funny, and they could never stay mad at him for too long.
"He was very talented young man, kept his cool, didn't have problems with anyone," Davis said. "My brother is gone over senseless violence."
Davis said she hopes to see an arrest made in the case, but Johnson said he wasn't sure that would ease the pain of losing his friend.
"Justice isn't going to bring him back," Johnson said.
Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call the Polk County Sheriff's Office at 863-298-6200 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-226-8477.

If I have to get up close and personal, we have a bunch of carts we just roll over and plug in. In past experience the only time I need non-ssh access is for initial BIOS setup and MAC address extraction. Nowadays, the vendors will ship with the BIOS settings I ask for and also provide the MAC address externally (or I can autoextract from the initial PXE discovery packets). After that its PXE etc. and once I have a shell window everything is OK. In the rare cases that I can't come to the point of a shell even terminal access (via IMPI etc.) rarely helps since at that point a motherboard swap or a dead HDD etc. is involved. So, hopefully I will have very little need for IPMI (remote power cycling is great though; those network aware power distribution stics seem great). -- Rahul

Image Gallery: Fish Fieldwork - NORFANZ, May - June 2003
For four weeks during May and June 2003, Australian Museum staff members Mark McGrouther, John Paxton and Kerryn Parkinson participated in the joint New Zealand and Australia Norfolk Ridge - Lord Howe Rise Biodiversity Voyage (NORFANZ).
Over 20 scientists from Australia, New Zealand, France and the USA worked together to survey the fish and marine invertebrate faunas of seamounts along the two major submarine mountain ranges in the Tasman Sea.
Over 150 trawls were made at depths down to 2000 m to collect specimens from these poorly known areas. A large number of new species were collected, but without question the most famous find was 'Mr Blobby'.

US TPP Negotiators Accused Of Bullying; Refusing To Budge On Ridiculous IP And Corporate Sovereignty Demands
from the i'm-sorry-for-my-country's-insane-negotiators dept
Multiple reports have called out the US (and McCoy in particular) for its aggression and "bullying" in the negotiations. Others have accused the US of engaging in a "negotiation by exhaustion," in which US negotiators seem to figure if they just stand their ground forever, everyone will eventually be bullied into agreeing to the US's positions.
'The US has adopted a strategy of exhaustion in its bullying of negotiators on the crucial intellectual property chapter to force countries to trade away health in the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement negotiations in Salt Lake City', according to Professor Jane Kelsey from the University of Auckland, New Zealand, who is monitoring the negotiations.The second link above, from a publication in Australia, notes something similar and complains about the Australian government's seeming willingness to side with the US on these issues:
'The US has stepped up its aggression as they move towards their "end point" of the TPPA ministerial meeting in Singapore from 7 to 10 December', said Professor Kelsey.
[....] 'This is a loaded game', Professor Kelsey said. 'McCoy sets the agenda and timetable. Negotiators are working from morning until late at night and preparing to work all night, if necessary.'
The United States has been accused of negotiation by exhaustion in last-minute talks in Salt Lake City ahead of the final ministers' meeting that will decide the makeup of the Trans Pacific trade deal between Australia and eleven other nations.While Stan McCoy plays out his own last stand game, pushing for policies that may help a few of his friends in the industry at the expense of the public, hopefully that last point -- about other governments resisting McCoy's attempt to bully them into a really bad deal -- stays true. An analysis of the positions on the IP Chapter, done by Gabriel Michael, highlighted how the US's position is a lot more isolated than it might like. That may explain the bullying behavior. It looks like the USTR is getting desperate, realizing its usual tricks and games aren't fooling most of the other negotiators. As Michael's analysis showed, the US and Japan (two of the strongest supporters of maximalism) appear to be fairly isolated -- issuing a lot more proposals that no one else supports.
Information leaking from the closed official-level talks suggests the United States is giving no ground on questions of intellectual property and medicines and is insisting each nation sign up to so-called Investor State Dispute Settlement provisions that would allow global corporations to sue sovereign governments.
[....] "What is happening is not a negotiation," said Patricia Ranald, Convenor of the Australian Fair Trade Network. "The United States is dictating the terms and it seems the Australian Government is not prepared to join other governments which are resisting these demands
Of course, the USTR is somewhat famous for its ability to start horse trading, promising bogus sweetheart deals if people just agree to awful language that will do massive harm to the public, so it's still something to be quite nervous about until any final text is revealed. Of course, just the fact that the USTR has still refused to reveal the text itself should be reason enough to recognize that this deal is a joke designed to screw over the public. Those acting in the interest of the public don't hide their efforts from the public.

Hakham Shlomo Amar, the Sephardic Chief Rabbi of Israel, recently visited the Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary (RIETS), an affiliate of Yeshiva University. The Chief Rabbi, also known as the Rishon Le'Zion, was greeted upon his arrival by Rabbi Dr. Norman Lamm, President Richard M. Joel, Rabbi Dr. Herbert C. Dobrinsky and Rabbi Yona Reiss, as well as by the Sephardic rabbinic faculty including Rabbi Eliyahu Ben-Haim; Rabbi Elie Abadie, MD; and Rabbi Moshe Tessone, among others. Rav Amar delivered a shiur [Torah lecture] to RIETS students and later met with various roshei yeshiva [professors of Talmud] and members of the YU faculty and administration, and held a private question-and-answer-session with members of the RIETS Kollel Elyon.
"Chief Rabbi Amar is a towering personality in the world Jewish community and an outstanding Torah scholar," said Rabbi Reiss, the Max and Marion Grill Dean of RIETS. "We are privileged to have this opportunity to solidify our strong relationship with the Chief Rabbinate and to work together earnestly for the benefit of Klal Yisroel, both in the Diaspora and in Eretz Yisrael."
While students and rabbis packed the beit midrash [study hall] in YU's Glueck Center for Jewish Studies to hear Rabbi Amar's shiur on Hanukkah, the day held added significance for the hundreds of Sephardic students on the YU campus, who greeted the Hakham with the traditional pizmon [Sephardic chant] reserved for entry of a Torah luminary, Yahid El Dagool Mirvava.
"It's a great honor to have the Chief Rabbi visit YU and to have the opportunity to meet and ask him questions," said Rabbi Yosef Chaim Yanetz, a RIETS shoel u'meishiv [Talmudic mentor] and a student at YU's Bernard Revel Graduate School of Jewish Studies.
"We are very proud that YU has invited Chief Rabbi Amar," added Yosef Sharbat '09YC, a RIETS student who is pursuing semikha and is currently enrolled at YU's Azrieli Graduate School of Jewish Education and Administration. "As a Sephardic student it means a lot to have this great rabbi here."

Purchase price 10500INR(250$ approx)
- Whether you think the lens is worth it - yes
- Whether you would buy the lens again - Maybe
If I were to compare to 1000$ glass, I may have given it a rating of 5 or 6. I say may because I do not own such glass, and in the range I afford this is one of the best zoom lenses.
Consumer low end zooms are supposed to be soft at extremes, have AF problems etc., but not with this lens. In bright daylight I rarely get AF problems, though if I go to speeds below 1/640, I do get a little camera shake which is apparent only in 100% crops. The results are amazingly sharp and 80% of the times the AF will work fine. If you look at my moon gallery over here
http://tanveer.smugmug.com/gallery/1269634/1/59581044, you will see the pics come out sharp, and one slightly unsharp pic is due to AF issue. This lens does not like AF on moon, and on black colored birds, rest everything will be handled with aplomb.
this pic demonstrates focus accuracy http://tanveer.smugmug.com/gallery/1...58499478/Large
If you want to see how it does for moving targets, look at this pic
So if you are the kind of guy who wants everything in focus, real real sharp(stickler for sharpness etc.,) you may not like this lens. I have seen pics on web from the L lenses, and at 100% crops some difference in visible. But then you have to pay 1000$ odd.
Now will I buy it again? Maybe, if I cannot afford anything else. Why do I say that if its such a great lens. Well you see I have not got very steady hands, so I would love to buy a telephoto lens with IS.
To sum it up:
Pros :
1. Value for money
2. Good quality images
3. Good bright light AF
4. Light weight
1. AF not very good on moon and black surfaces. I wonder if its due to XT or the lens,my kit lens does not have any such issues in low light
2. F 5.6 is slow. With I had F4 at telephoto end!
3. No marking on manual focus ring. Makes focusing infinity a tad difficult and subject to user error

Historians as Communicators
Today, as the means of communication multiply, the opportunities for the involvement of historians in communicating interpretations of the past also multiply. Historians can thus become writers; editors; or producers of multimedia material such as CD-ROMS, television programs, and web sites.
Writers and Editors
Historians do a great deal of writing, but for some, writing is the primary responsibility. Historians often write for a variety of publications, including scholarly monographs; scripts for slide shows, films, and television shows; brochures for historic sites; captions for exhibits; reports for government agencies; testimony for legislative hearings; articles for mass-market magazines; textbooks; historical novels; and screenplays for television series and movies. The training a history major receives during the undergraduate program should be good preparation for most of these tasks.
Historians can become editors rather than writers. Editors work for scholarly publishers, historical societies, journals, magazines, and trade publishers. A number of book editors were history majors in college; many have graduate degrees in the field. Editors must have very strong verbal and organizational skills, be able to pay attention to detail, and must be able to deal tactfully and persuasively with authors.
Entry-level jobs are open to college graduates without special training in publishing, but those with coursework in editing and publishing are more likely to be hired. Those who wish to edit elementary or secondary school textbooks generally need to have had some experience teaching at the relevant level.
Research skills gained through training in history also provide a useful background for print, broadcast, or Internet journalism. Although historical subjects are not always the primary topics of research for journalists, the ability to use a variety of sources, to understand the necessity of verification, to think analytically, and to write clearly, is as important in journalism as in history. These skills are useful not only for those interested in investigative reporting and feature writing, but also for advertising and public relations professionals.
As with many other occupations, however, a history background is usually not enough. Anyone with an interest in journalism should gain experience by working for the student newspaper or radio or television station while in college. Writing and editing for these media are the best ways to learn. This can be supplemented by additional course work in print or broadcast journalism.
Documentary Editors
Documentary editors locate documents related to a particular individual, agency, or movement; determine which documents are legitimate through the use of internal and external criticism and date them if needed; organize the documents in a logical order; transcribe them; and prepare appropriate annotations.
Producers of Multimedia Material
Although careers for historians in the field of television and cinema production may be limited--despite the emergence of new cable television channels such as the History Channel and the proliferation of historical films--more opportunities are becoming available in the rapidly burgeoning field of history-related web site creation and production of CD-ROMS. Here, a combination of historical training and knowledge of new technologies for dissemination of information will be especially valuable.

|Ethnicity and the "Other" in Russian Art
Alexander Rizzoni
Natalya Nesterova, one of Russias preeminent painters, is an ethnic Russian who grew up among the privileged elite and has roots among the nations traditionalist painters. Yet, in a significant number of her works, she has included themes and personalities that demonstrate an attraction to the Jews of Russia, long perceived as prototypical outsiders.
Living in a country in which historic anti-Semitism is commonplace, and where it had been sanctioned by government policy, it is remarkable to find an artist of Nesterovas stature expressing a continuing interest in Jewish life. In her case, the attraction to Jewish themes has a personal side, as will be discussed later. However, the phenomenon of Russian artists using Jewish themes as the "other" transcends the personal interests of any individual artist, even one as esteemed as Nesterova, and requires an examination of the historical context. In Russia, ethnicity is a factor of extreme significance in defining ones persona. Hence Russian art must be understood against the unspoken Russian attitude toward ethnicity, particularly Jewishness.
Russians have always maintained a firm distinction between themselves and Jews. Although they might speak Russian fluently and have completely abandoned their traditional religious practices, Jews were never considered completely Russian. Whereas, in most Western countries, Jews might identify themselves as members of the Jewish religion, while belonging to the nation in which they lived, in Russia even the most acculturated Jews understood that although they could transmit or even create culture, they were not accepted as "real" Russians.1 As a result of this attitude, Jewish life and culture in Russia have existed as that of the "other," outside of the mainstream and often exoticized through perceptions of religion and ethnicity. This has been complicated, however, by two unarguable facts: Jews became important creators of Russian culture during the 19th century, and the Jewish religion, although exotic to Russians, is the historical parent of the dominant religion in Russia Christianity. While Jews may be a minority, they are in certain ways essential to the self-definition of the Russian ethnic majority.
Exoticism and the Bible
Ilya Repin
A growing source of interest in Jews came from Russian reverence for the Bible, which was regarded as a Jewish gift to the world. Excavations carried out since the l840s had shed new light on the ancient cultures of Egypt, India, Assyria, Asia Minor and Palestine, and had added a historical dimension to biblical sources that was eagerly accepted as proof of the existence of Jewish art since antiquity.4 The biblical Jew thus became a real historical figure, who represented the ancient Jewish nation, and not an imaginary mythical character. By the mid-l9th century, the Bible, as an artistic theme, became an important aspect of the academic curriculum. Non-Jewish artists wished to depict images as close as possible to their perception of absolute truth and began to explore "authentic" Semitic facial types.
Such a characterization was revelatory in its transformation of the idealized Greco-Roman visage to a depiction of Semitic features in Russian painting. The artist Alexander Ivanov expresses this physiognomy in Josephs Brothers Find the Chalice in the Bag, and in Christs First Appearance to the People influence was so widespread that, during the rest of the 19th century, artists who wished to render biblical figures felt obligated to employ what they perceived as Semitic features. Indeed, owing to the limited opportunity for communication or interaction between Jews and non-Jews, many artists took their models not from living Jews but from the types found in Ivanovs paintings. An example of such influence can be detected in Ivan Kramskois eloquent The Temptation of Christ, which depicts a profoundly isolated figure in a barren desert landscape that expresses the romanticized image of the wanderer or prophet of biblical lore.
Ilya Repin, in his search for "historical authenticity," a characteristic of the Realist school of Russian painting, pursued his own interest in Jewish life and surroundings. He sought to provide accurate settings for biblical scenes, especially those relating to the life of Christ, through the addition of explicitly Jewish symbols to the painting Christ Raising Yairs Daughter from the Dead. The three-branched Menorah above the head of the girl is a common Sabbath candelabrum, and the wall-hanging bears the Hebrew word mizrah (connoting the eastern direction of Jerusalem).5
Some non-Jewish artists believed they could find authenticity for their religious scenes among contemporary Russian Jews themselves, whom they romanticized as descendants of their biblical ancestors. The artists were not interested in depicting the unfortunate social conditions in which such individuals lived, but rather in using them as an "authentic source." This is borne out in a drawing from l866, Antokolsky at Prayer, by Repin, who believed he had found in his Jewish friend, the internationally known sculptor Mark Antokolsky, the true model for a biblical figure. A decade later, in the painting Jew Praying, Repin transformed the Jewish type believed to be found in the Bible into an old East-European Jew.
Nikolay Yaroshenko
An artist who was thoroughly familiar with Jewish tradition and ceremony was Nikolay Ge. In his works on the Passion of Christ, such as Sentenced to Death, Ge accurately described the synagogue setting, including ritual attire and adornments. In order to render his Bible subjects with the greatest accuracy and authenticity, the artist Vasiliy Polenov took his search to the Holy Land. Not only was he interested in locating the faces of the Children of Abraham, but also in Judean landscapes and authentic archeological remains as evidence of the events described in the Bible, such as in Christ and the Sinner.
From Image to Tragic Reality
Rizzoni and other artists also demonstrated the duality of the Russian Jewish experience. Rizzoni was awarded a second gold medal at the Academy of Art for his painting, Jewish Smugglers, which falls back on a popular, derogatory stereotype and leaves little doubt concerning the unsavory quality of the participants who are engaged in illicit commerce.8 In contrast, at about the same time, Ivan Kramskoi created the idealized image in Jewish Boy, a painting of a country boy with an intense penetrating expression, dressed in a prayer shawl. An outstanding portraitist and a prominent figure in Russian realist painting, Kramskoi belonged to the Peredvizhniki, the Itinerants, and was a leader of the rebellion against the stagnant European style of the St. Petersburg Academy. The figure of the young Jew fulfilled Kramskois ambition to carry art out of the urban, Academy-dominated context.9
Mikhail Vrubel was one of the first artists to sense the sorrow and irony evoked by the contradictory situation of Jews in Russia. On the one hand, the Jews were said to be "chosen," according to religious tradition, and on the other hand they were marked by poverty, pogroms and repression. Following the assassination of Tsar Alexander II by revolutionary terrorists in 1881, a wave of attacks against Jews continued on and off until the Tsarist regime was finally overthrown in 1917. No longer was the Jew seen as a source for biblical themes, but as an embodiment of the tragic state of Russian reality.
War and Revolution
Of course, even before the displacement of Jews from the Pale, the shtetl was in decline. By the end of the 19th century, Jews were moving into urban areas, a phenomenon accelerated by the wartime dislocations. Ironically, despite its rapid disappearance, shtetl life became appealing as a paradigm for avant-garde artists Russian and Jewish alike who believed the subject to have preserved its intrinsic and authentic character. The shtetl corresponded with the artistic program of Russian artists such as Natalia Goncharova and Mikhail Larionov, who were intrigued by the attributes of Jewish culture and ritual. Often this was merely a fascination with the exotic, as in works such as Goncharovas Jewish cycle of paintings and Larionovs Jewish Venus.11
Mikhail Larionov
|John Bowlt has suggested that their interest "was generated by the same concern with outside and alternative systems" that had exoticized Jewish culture and "placed it in the same primitive or Asiatic lexicon as the art of the Aztecs, Chinese, or Japanese."12 Another interpretation of this phenomenon has been offered by Ziva Amishai-Meisels, who cites the Mendel Beilis blood libel affair as the context for the avant-garde fascination with shtetl culture.13 Amishai-Meisels argues that in The Jewish Family, painted between 1911 and 1912, in which Goncharova shows Jews as "good, simple people, who are kind to, and protective of, children, and thus cannot be guilty of the blood libel."14 Shtetl life provided Goncharova with a painterly narrative that fit into a thematic mission intended to demonstrate a naïve life, uncorrupted by modern civilization.
It should be noted that neither Goncharovas nor Larionovs Jewish subjects contain religious references, nor does their work attempt to capture the experience of the Jew as depicted in contemporaneous works by Mark Chagall, Natan Altman, or El Lissitsky. Rather, the Jewish subjects portrayed by Goncharova and Larionov convey an objective stance, and it is the characteristic of Jewish otherness that attracts them.
With the end of the Pale, millions of Jews were now in closer contact with Russians and generated increased interaction. This is the period when the image of the Jewish fiddler not only appeared in works by Jewish artists like Marc Chagall, and his teacher Yehuda Pen, but became common in Russian literature. It was also employed by the non-Jewish artist Petr Konchalovsky, whose 1918 painting of a fiddler presents the archetypal stereotype of the Russian Jew as musician. Some Russian artists carried this imagery further, in part to portray what were considered non-Slavic, visually stimulating faces.
Other Russian artists went beyond the use of stereotypical Jewish imagery, in an interpretation and promotion of Jewish cultural figures during the early 1900s; this constitutes an important chapter in the history of the Russian-Jewish interaction. Several impressive portraits of prominent Jewish artists and performers speak to the contributions of Jewish artists to Russian modernism, and acknowledge their profound imprint on the twilight years of imperial Russia. Portraits of the Jewish landscape painter Isaac Levitan and of ballerina Ida Rubinstein, both by the half-Jewish artist Valentin Serov, and Petr Vilyams portrait of the influential Soviet stage director Vsevolod Meyerhold, convey a sense of the dazzling reputation of the sitters as representatives of the Jewish presence in Russia. In particular, the image of Meyerhold, with its so-called Jewish or Semitic appearance was regarded as a prototype of the face of a creative genius.
After the overthrow of the Tsar, and in the wake of the Bolshevik Revolution, Russias Jews enjoyed unprecedented freedom and were able to participate much more in the life of the nation. With the repeal of Tsarist laws that discriminated against Russian citizens on the basis of religion and nationality, Jews were now given a national minority status, as one among the many peoples of the new Soviet Union.15 Jews responded strongly to their new freedom and opportunity. Acculturation increased, and Jews began to hold positions of importance in the government and in its new cultural organizations. The early Soviet years saw revived interest in Jewish life and a burst of creativity among Jewish artists.
Natalya Nesterova
The period of greater freedom in the l920s was followed by a declining interest in Jewish themes among Russian artists, especially during the 1930s and 40s. During this periodthe heyday of Soviet Socialist Realismstate-sponsored repression of religion, and especially a revival of official anti-Semitism, discouraged artists from the use of Jewish themes. They preferred to present their figures with the physiognomy that represented the most politically favored national minority of the moment. Hence a Jewish sitters face would be obscured by those of a Georgian, Turkman, or Azerbaijani. One of the last artists who dared to depict a Jew was Petr Konchalovsky, whose importance to the authorities may have offered some immunity from persecution. His portrait of the great Soviet theatrical director Meyerhold, mentioned above, was completed in l938, two years before Meyerholds secret execution by Soviet authorities.16
Nesterova and Todays Artists
Another path has been taken by Natalya Nesterova, who has plunged directly into the Jewish experience. Two good examples are her paintings Watchmaker (l997) and In a Watchmakers Workshop (1998), which draw on images from a much venerated eastern European Jewish craft. In In a Watchmakers Workshop, a religious Jew adjusts the hands on one of his carefully tended wall clocks. Watchmaker is reflective of a similar but much earlier work (l924) by Yehuda Pen, where the clockmaker signifies change. Although Nesterovas painting carries a generic, universalized figure, and the clockmaker in Pens is a precisely defined, if typecast, shtetl figure, both signify the movement of time and history at different moments of internal turmoil throughout Russia. Thus, we can interpret Nesterovas two paintings as using traditional imagery to acknowledge a venerated Jewish tradition and, at the same time, to offer a symbolic commentary on the state of Russia.
Yet, while Pen was indubitably Jewish, Nesterova is not; indeed, she is of the Russian elite. We must therefore acknowledge her sensitivity and nuance in employing Jewish images and themes, and wonder at the source of her mastery. On a personal level, Nesterova has commented on the importance of nineteenth- and twentieth-century Jewish authors who had a significant impact on the intellectual environment in which she was raised. Sholom Aleichem and Isaac Babel were a part of her cultural milieu. The Jewish theatre, and music by Jewish composers, had infused Russian culture and were certainly an intrinsic part of her world. These Jewish influences took root at an early age, becoming a force she would call upon later for the images in her paintings. Finally, any interpretation of Jewish themes in Nesterovas work should also consider the compassion that she felt for her son, who opted for the Judaism of his paternal grandmother, despite the travails of living as a Jew in the Soviet Union. Thus, her use of Jewish themes was not only symbolic or metaphoric, but may be attributed also to personal experience and empathy.17
The fact that, according to the Jewish religion, her former husband was a Jew reflects the increased incidence of intermarriage between Russians and Jews, demonstrating the complex relationship between the two groups that had evolved. For Nesterova, art was a way to confront the meaning of her Jewish experience within a Russian context. As noted by Viktor Misiano, " it is not merely those who are born Jewish who have identified themselves in recent years with Jewishness, but all those at the boundaries of the repressive Soviet regime with a claim to spiritual and individual autonomy. Since Stalins death, being Jewish has not been an ethnic reality, but an ethical choice."18

I'm a big sock-wearer. I wear them while making coffee, after stepping out of the shower and even to bed. I love to cozy up in cute socks, so I always make sure I have a drawer full of fun styles. Gym socks? Nope. Fun, aloe-infused ones? Yes!
There's just something comfy and casual about scooting around the house in cute socks. They're perfect for lazy weekends and because there are so many styles, they work all throughout the year. I go for fluffy, aloe-infused ones in the colder months and thinner, ankle-length socks during warmer days. Yes, I even wear them in the summer: after a day of wearing open-toed heels, there's nothing my feet love more than being wrapped up in coziness at the end of the day.
Get Your Cozy On with these Cute Socks
From pastel colored Mary Jane-style socks to ones that let us embrace our inner super hero, here are a few styles that caught my eye.
What do you think about these socks? Leave a note in the comment section below.

Leandro Damiao has thanked Tottenham for their interest in him during the January transfer window - but says he is committed to staying put at Internacional.
Spurs launched a late bid for long-term target Damiao on deadline day to bolster their threadbare front line - but ran out of time.
Tottenham boss Andre Villas-Boas has claimed that the deal could have been completed if there was more time, while reports in Brazil suggested Tottenham only offered £13 million for the 23-year-old, with Inter holding our for closer to £20 million.
Villas-Boas has now conceded that another move for Damiao in the summer is unlikely, and the player himself says he is not looking to leave South America any time soon.
'President Giovanni Luigi knows I always wanted to stay at Internacional, regardless of any offers that could come,' he said.
'I certainly thank Tottenham (for their interest), they are a big club in Europe, but my focus is on Inter.
'I hope to help Inter for a long time, I have a long contract and I am very happy and focused.'
Villas-Boas put Tottenham's inability to get another deal done at the last minute - they missed out on Porto's Joao Moutinho in the summer - down to complications surrounding Damiao's third party ownership.
The Portuguese boss said: 'It wasn't something we just did on the last day of the window. Third party ownership makes it different to do.'
Tottenham's failure to land Damiao before the close of the January transfer window leaves them with just two outright strikers as they battle for a top four spot and Champions League qualification.
Worryingly for Spurs, Jermain Defoe limped off in the first half during the 1-0 win over West Brom on Sunday and could be out of action for up three weeks if the initial diagnosis of ankle ligament damage is confirmed.
There was some good news for Tottenham fans however, with Emmanuel Adebayor on his way back to White Hart Lane after Togo were knocked out of the Africa Cup of Nations over the weekend.
The north London club moved to within one point of 3rd placed Chelsea with victory at the Hawthorns, and sit three points clear of Everton in 5th and four points ahead of rivals Arsenal in 6th.

Josh Cabrera has made an immediate impact for Northside this football season.
Josh Cabrera has made an immediate impact for Northside this football season.
But while the junior�s receiving numbers alone would prove that, Cabrera has provided the Monarchs so much more in his first season at Northside after he transferred in this summer from Georgia.
�Josh gives us stability in the return game. He�s got sure hands and he�s a presence out there at receiver and people have to respect that,� Northside coach Bob Eason said. �He�s a good team player who comes in and works hard in practice.�
Cabrera, The Daily News football player of the week, is among the area receiving leaders. He has 12 catches for 289 yards and 7 touchdowns, averaging 24.1 yards per reception.
In Northside�s 41-13 victory over Croatan last week, Cabrera scored on an 84-yard touchdown reception following a long bomb from Courtney Piatt.
But that wasn�t the only contribution Cabrera gave the Monarchs (7-0, 3-0 East Central 2-A Conference), who visit South Lenoir tonight.
He also returned a punt 53 yards to set up another touchdown and he had one of 3 first-half interceptions. Cabrera certainly shown he�s not one-dimensional.
�He�s a good natural athlete who works hard, which is a good thing,� Eason said. �He does a good job in the weight room, he works hard in practice and he wants to get better.�
Talking to the Northside coaches this summer, I quickly got the impression they were excited to have Cabrera come to their school. Eason said the first thing that stood out about Cabrera was his 6-foot-3, 185-pound frame.
�Over the summer I got a call from his parents and then I saw a tall, good-looking kid,� Eason said. �I just waited to see what he did, and the first time he reached out and caught a pass with all his fingers, I saw he could play.�
Now for the panel
Sports page designer Mike Boaz is still in first place in The Daily News high school football forecasting panel after he went 6-1 last week to improve to 50-8 overall.
Second place is Kinston Free Press managing editor Bryan Hanks, who went 5-2 to improve to 48-10. I went 5-2 to stay in third place at 45-13. WCTI-12 news anchor Brian North (6-1 last week) and Halifax regional desk chief Richard Clark (6-1) are next 43-15 while JDN sports editor Rick Scoppe went 6-1 to move to 42-16.
