How to Make Your Boyfriend Go Crazy over You
Three Parts:Making Your Boyfriend Feel DesiredBeing a Desirable PartnerIncreasing His DesireCommunity Q&A
Whether you are in a new relationship or if you are a long-term couple, everyone wants their boyfriend to be attentive and attracted to them. As relationships grow and change, it is common for the crazy passion you once had for each other to slow down or be expressed in other ways. Sure he likes you or even loves you, but there are ways to make him go crazy over you. You want him to feel desired, and you also want to encourage this passion by being a desirable partner.
Part 1
Making Your Boyfriend Feel Desired
1Compliment him. Complimenting your boyfriend is an important way to help him feel appreciated and loved. By complimenting him, you will show him that you accept him as he is and that you like the things that he says and does. [1] It is important to compliment your boyfriend for his big accomplishments, but you should also try paying your boyfriend compliments when he does little things as well. For example:
- "Wow, that was an amazing kiss."
- "You looked so sexy and manly out there cutting the grass."
- "You were so good in the game today; it's such a turn on watching you play."
2Lock eyes with him. Eye contact is a great nonverbal way to show your acceptance of someone. When we like people, we are more likely to make eye contact with them.[2] Show your boyfriend that you love and accept him by gazing into his eyes. If he returns your feelings, then he should gaze into you eyes in return.
3Kiss with passion. Kissing is one of the ways that we evaluate our partners, so being a good kisser is really important. Kissing can also help to improve your boyfriend's feeling of attraction and connection to you. To be a good kisser, try to keep some things in mind: [3]
- It's okay to start off a kiss with your mouth closed and move into a more passionate kind of kiss if the mood is right.
- Make sure your teeth are clean and your breath is fresh before you attempt a kiss.
- Focus on him and nothing else when you are kissing. Being distracted while kissing can be a big turn-off.
- Try touching the back of his head or neck or stroking his arm while you kiss. These extra touches can be a great way to enhance a kiss.
4Surprise him. Nothing helps spark or reignite passion like a little spontaneity. It can help break up your normal routine and show him that you feel crazy about him, which could inspire him to go crazy over you. Be flirty and live in the moment at all times, and he will always feel excited to be around you. Some spontaneous ideas to consider:
- If your car breaks down in the rain, don't just sit in the car waiting for him to fix it. Jump out and dance with him on the side of the road.
- If you normally watch his favorite sports team at home, surprise him with tickets or take him out to a local restaurant with huge TVs to watch the game instead.
- Take on a sexy alter ego and stay in character during your entire date.
5Encourage him. One huge part of sparking desire in your partner is helping him feel good about himself. Encourage him in his goals like you would encourage a friend. Make sure that he knows that you are there for him and that you support him.
- For example, if your boyfriend is worried about a job interview, then you can encourage him by saying something like, "You are going to be great! They would not have called you for an interview if they did not already think you were a good choice for the job!"
Part 2
Being a Desirable Partner
1Show your confidence. Confidence is a really sexy quality for most people, so feel free to be your most confident when you are with your boyfriend. You can demonstrate your confidence by doing things like sharing your accomplishments and acknowledging your strengths.
- Keep in mind that some people find confidence a little intimidating. If your boyfriend has low self-confidence, then projecting your confidence may not increase his desire for you.[4]
2Tell him about yourself. Revealing things about yourself will help to enhance your boyfriend's feelings for you.[5] Tell him all about yourself, including your interests, your goals, and your family. Be careful not to reveal too much too soon, though. Keeping some aspects of your life, goals, and feelings can add mystery to your relationship, which may help to increase his interest in you.
3Pay attention to what your boyfriend is attracted to. Your boyfriend may have some specific things that attract him, so try to pay attention when he tells you that you look sexy. Perhaps your boyfriend loves lingerie, or maybe he thinks you look sexiest right after a workout. Some things that might help include:
- Wearing eye makeup. Eye makeup has been shown to make women seem more attractive to some men.[6] Try wearing some eyeliner or eyeshadow and mascara when your boyfriend is around.
- Using unscented or lightly scented products on your body. It is important for your boyfriend to be able to smell your natural scent. This scent can help him to experience strong feelings of attraction.[7] Try wearing unscented deodorant and using unscented bath products so that your boyfriend can smell your natural scent.
- Wearing red clothing now and then. One study found that men are more attracted by the color red than any other color.[8] Get a red dress or sweater to wear on a date with your boyfriend and see what happens.
4Keep your time together light and fun. In addition to being sexy and desirable, another great way to drive your boyfriend wild is to just be a fun loving person. You want him to want to hang out with you, and showing him that you are the type of person who is up for a good time is a great hook. Don't try to be someone you're not, but know that there are a lot of ways to have a good time. Some ideas include:
- Go for a hike and race him to the top for the last leg. Laughing through a competitive situation will bond you and endear you to him.
- Go out to watch a sports game with him and his friends and impress them with your knowledge of the game.
- Play a game of truth or dare to show him you can be silly and fun.
Part 3
Increasing His Desire
1Stay close by. Proximity has been found to increase feelings that people have for each other. In other words, the more that you see someone, the more likely you are to like that person.[9] To make this work for you, try stopping by your boyfriend's locker on the way to class, suggest some regular study sessions, or find ways to see more of him.
2Respect your boyfriend's personal space and enjoy yours as well. A great way to make your boyfriend go crazy over you is to make sure that you give him a chance to miss being with you all of the time. Some of the initial spark and passion fizzle out because you get too comfortable with each other. You want him to miss you, but you also want him to know that he isn't your sole source of happiness.
- Make plans to spend time with your girlfriends one night per week and encourage him to have a guys night.
3Mirror his movements. Mirroring someone's movements can increase their feelings of attraction for you.[10] To make this work for you, try to copy his physical position now and then. For example, if your boyfriend readjusts himself in his seat and leans on his right hand, wait a few seconds and do the same. Make sure that you are leaning on your left hand so that you look like a mirror image of him.
- Try to be subtle about this. Mirroring often happens without people noticing they are doing it and it is important to avoid making it too obvious or it might seem strange.
4Play hard to get. Even though you are already dating, you can increase your partner's desire for you by playing hard to get.[11] Some easy ways to play hard to get with your boyfriend include:
- Waiting 15 minutes to respond to a non-urgent text or missing a call every so often.
- Asking to reschedule if he asks for a date and you already have plans.
- Denying him a kiss now and then.

Community Q&A
How do I make my boyfriend's guy friends jealous when I'm around them?Chy_2This is when you show him how much you love him, but don't change who you are. If you two are typically a quiet couple, don't go all loud and obnoxious, stay simple and subtle. Hold onto his arm or stand closer to him. Your actions should scream "He's mine!" without actually screaming it. They will see how you treat him and want a girl like you for themselves.
I've been with this guy for a few months. We really like each other, and I know he really loves me, but sometimes I think it's a bit more of a lust relationship. Whenever I mention it he gets angry. What do I do?wikiHow ContributorIf you feel like your relationship is going nowhere, then maybe it's time to move on. Otherwise, maybe you need to spend some time with your significant other doing stuff together, like watching movies or something similar. You should also discuss what you feel is missing from the relationship and explain what you're worried about. If you feel like there's no romance, then tell him that. Have a detailed and meaningful discussion, and you should be able to figure out where you stand.
He's planning a date tomorrow, but I have urgent work business. Should I go with him or finish the work assignment?wikiHow ContributorIt's usually best to deal with work first and re-schedule your date. You might decide differently if there's a reason the date is very important, and it has to happen tomorrow.
We have completed 1 year, but I feel like he has someone else in his heart. How can I find our if he is with someone else and really cheating on me?AllyJr.Relationships need trust. If you feel like you don't trust him anymore, try to talk it out with him. Maybe he has something in mind for you or maybe he is faced with some difficulty.
How can we maintain the spark in our relationship?wikiHow ContributorTry giving each other small yet meaningful gifts, and expressing your feelings as often as possible. Spend time together and build each other's trust.
He is always angry with me, what do I do?wikiHow ContributorWhy is he angry? Are you doing something you do not usually do? Sit down with him and have a conversation about it.
My boyfriend and I are going on a date on Saturday to the movies, and I don't know if I should kiss him or not. Should I?wikiHow ContributorThat depends on whether or not you feel ready to take that step. It's okay to be nervous, but if you're really not sure, you can always wait. (If you do kiss him, don't make out in the movie theater, it's rude to the other patrons.)
- Always be genuine and true to yourself. If you find that you have to fake your personality with your boyfriend, he might not be the most compatible. Try to find someone who goes crazy over you when you are being yourself.
- Only act in a way that you are comfortable with. You are not obligated in any way to do anything to or with your boyfriend that you are uncomfortable with or not ready for.

We have a joke between my siblings that all four of us love to eavesdrop on conversations and to people-watch in busy public spaces. Maybe we are just weird in this regard (generally, we are a little quirky), but given the popularity of social media and reality television — it seems like my siblings and I are not the only ones fascinated by how other people live their lives.
Over the years I've had many friends and clients express curiosity about what I keep in my refrigerator, pantry, and cupboards. What does a dietitian have tucked away in the nooks and crannies of their kitchen?! I suspect the minimalist label might add to the intrigue. Since I now have a way to easily show people what's in our kitchen, I figured I would! My partner, Josh, posted general tour of our home over at TheMinimalists.com.
A few disclaimers: if you're reading this post, you realize that I'm passionate about cooking great tasting healthy food. I cook a lot and the items in our kitchen help me nourish my family and friends, and also develop (and photograph) delicious, nutritious, and simple recipes for this community. I utilize tools to cultivate that passion — what is important for me will not necessarily be what is useful or practical for others. Josh's dream home would be sans kitchen, but it's my second favorite place in the house. It's unquestionably the room with the most stuff, but it all serves a purpose. Finally, I photographed our kitchen as is, meaning I didn't clean up prior to taking the photos and I didn't straighten out the drawers, the refrigerator, or the pantry. I wanted you to see the space as we truly use it. So, without further ado, please join me in our kitchen (I wish I could cook you a meal).
The space:
The drawers & cupboards:
The pantry:
The fridge:
There you have it. I hope you enjoyed this little peek into part of our home.
Be well,
-Bex, Josh, & Ella

P90X2 Review
"First of all, here is some basic information about myself. I am a 18 and a senior in high school. I run Cross Country and Track, and am also a big Beachbody fan! I began using P90X in November 2008. I completed 3 full rounds of it and got great results. I added some lean quality muscle and strength, and improved all aspects of my functional fitness. I then soon purchased P90X+, Insanity, and the One on One workouts. I was mainly doing a bunch of hybrids along with my running routine, until I got P90X2 this past December! I officially started the program on January 2, 2012, and I also planned to run 6 days a week to prep for my track season.
My main goal was to add to my athletic performance and functional strength to help me with my running in track come later in the spring. I bought the P90X2 Deluxe package which came with a stability ball, medicine balls, a foam roller. I also already had a pullup bar and a weight set from 3-55 pounds. The first phase of P90X2, called the foundation phase, is all about increasing your core strength, balance, and stability. These workouts were challenging, but they didn't give me too much trouble since I had already had some experience from using the One on One workouts. I also slightly modified the schedule to fit into a 5 day period instead of a 6, so that way I could still get in my long run in on Saturdays then use Sunday as my rest day. After 3 weeks, I moved on to phase 2, the strength phase.
The 2nd phase is the most similar to P90X. The focus here is more on building functional strength, but by still incorporating balance and instability by using stability and medicine balls. I especially enjoyed getting to workout out with my coach, Josh Spencer, in X2 Shoulders + Arms! I did this phase for a total of 4 weeks, but switched in the bonus workouts the last 2 weeks.
Now this is what I had been waiting for, phase 3, the performance phase. During the next 3 weeks, I got to use the new P.A.P (Post-Activation-Potentiation) workouts. These workouts are killer and are all about increasing your overall athleticism. I was super sore after the first week, but during weeks 2 and 3 I saw major improvements in my reps and speed. My core and legs also become a lot stronger, which helped with my running and having a strong finishing kick in my races.
I have to say that I enjoyed P90X2 more than P90X. I love the concept of improving your athletic ability and not just your strength. After I finished the program on March 11, I noticed I was leaner, but my weight stayed relatively the same. Also, my track season has been going great. I am currently running 5 days a week, have a track meet once a week, and I also throw in 1-2 P90X2 or One on One workouts a week. My best races so far this season include a 11:09 2 mile, 4:57 mile, and 2:13 800 meters. I definitely plan to incorporate P90X2 into my next hybrid program after the end of my track season."

I know I would love to have one, but am I the only one?
What if you could afford design for your small business?
In design the site is the market or industry, and what you're trying to do within it.
In design, the people who will be using it are your customers (not you).
For me, nothing is harder or more frustrating than to try to fit into a client's expectations of how the process will go.
True. The first part of the design process is learning about you, your business, your business goals for the project, your audience, what they care about, and what you want them to think, feel or do as a result of the design.
Because you know you've distilled all the ideas down to the most important message, and there's nothing extra to detract from that message or idea. The less distraction, the more powerful the idea.
It can be easy to get caught up in design details and think that you've nailed the colors and the look, only to realize that some of the very things you love about the design are actually making it harder for the person who will use it.
So I recently rebranded my business because I was feeling stuck. Here's how I got unstuck.
Do you have a need to produce a number of fliers, factsheets, announcements, or other periodic communication on a regular basis? Do you have modest design skills? If so, templates might appear to be the answer.

What if the circling covered wagons were actually being driven by the Indians . . . . ?
Posted by EdFulop on October 5, 2010 · 2 Comments
A campaign began today in New York City by the watchdog group Media Research Center. For the next four weeks, Monday through Friday, eight hours a day, right up until election day, four box trucks will be circling each of the New York Headquarters of ABC, NBC, CBS, and the New York Times, with personalized messages for each organization demanding that they "Stop the Liberal Bias" and "Tell the Truth". You can read the CNS article here.

Apple computers are subject to shorts between the keyboard and floor. Who would have thought!
Now where did my Ohm meter go? I know it is in one of these pockets.
Hundreds of Mac users have been snared in a phishing scam that coincided with the glitches in the roll-out Apple's MobileMe service. Names of Apple customers traded in underground forums Data obtained by CardCops, a credit card protection service owned by the Affinion Group, shows sensitive information belonging to several …
Apple computers are subject to shorts between the keyboard and floor. Who would have thought!
Now where did my Ohm meter go? I know it is in one of these pockets.
If the people who were scammed were shown a url like the one in the pic then they are idiots for handing over their details without being more careful.
Firefox couldn't pick up the scam? FIREFOX!!!!
I don't believe it. Impossible. Firefox is the saviour of all mankind. You are spreading salacious rumours here.
Stop it. Just stop it.
As a person who knows someone who fell to phishing using FireFox on Windows and as Safari has come under fire by the press for its lack of anti phishing technology, I have to say, one thing IE seems to do right is detecting a phishing site.
This should be a wake up call for Apple. What do you want to be the only reason these people fell victim with Safari is because Stevie held back the new anti-phishing tech for Snow Leopard's release just to help marketing. Now people suffer because of his decision.
In other news, the world is an oblate spheroid.
Slow news day much?
PC to Mac "Gone Phishing again today I see and caught the catch of the day !"
about viruses (virii) and such like.
Now whose laughing (all the way to the bank it seems) !!!!!!
Firefox - written by freetards, sponsored by the mafia
I always confuse nolostor.cl with apple.com
Maybe there should be a walled garden internet for the masses, and a free one for young people and those with IQ>100?
with Matt on this one:
www.nolostand.cl/ etc.
Why on earth would Apple have a non-apple domain based in Chile to update billing details - quite apart from the fact (as everyone is continuously warned). YOU ARE NEVER, EVER, ASKED FOR YOUR BILLING DETAILS BY EMAIL.
People should SWITCH BRAIN ON before using their browser.
Perhaps we should have an internet competency license (much like car, plane etc.) before people are allowed access to the internet. Just a thought....
Have to agree that IE does tend to actively report these things better... however at the end of the day it still comes down to idiots doing it - does anyone seriously enter their credit card details onto a site they clicked to from an email!?!?!
Oh well...
...though almost certainly not dumber. I would like to hear from anyone who might have an insight into exactly why the transition from reliable old .Mac to MobileMe has been such a fiasco. What's going on in Cupertino? Has there been an accompanying hardware transition or is this just a massive bug-fest?
Er, phishing has nothing to do with Mac or PC, it's to do with idiot users. Don't matter which platform they're on.
"Halifax Bank faithful targeted in phishing scam", "PayPal faithful victims of cyber attack!", "Shock horror - eBay users targeted by phishing attack!!"
Name me one online system of any importance which HASN'T been the subject of a phishing attack.
I'm an Apple Mac user since 1991, and I assert with some confidence that I am probably dumber than some El Reg readers. I use a Mac because it allows me to continue to be quite dumb about the mysterious inner workings of my computer while still doing quite useful stuff. So it is with great sadness I read these articles that Holy Steve (on whom be the Blessing of the OSX) has not provided the Mac Faithful with the protection that the Faithful require. I realise that at times the Form of the Browser does not lend itself to such Protection; that it is Sacrilegious to have a pure and minimalist interface overlaid with dialogs written in TechnoSpeak. However the Other Religion of the Mac Faithful (the Massage of the Hip Pocket Nerve) is at stake here. There are miscreants among us, whose sole aim in life is to spread confusion, despair, and dynamic linked libraries. Shall we allow them to Massage the Hip Pocket in reverse, and take from us what is rightfully due the Holy Steve (on whom be the Blessing of the OSX)? I say no! Bring on your Anti Phish Dialog! Bring on your Insecure Web Page Dialog! And whatever else will keep our money safe and warm until it is required by the Holy Steve (on whom be the Blessing etc etc).
But would OpenDNS have intercepted the scam?
No surprises though that people are still daft enough to respond to email scams informing "your account will be shut down" & despite all manner of warnings and advice on various security & banking sites it still goes on.
It never ceases to amaze me the somewhat lame threat "Your account will be shut down..." draws in so many, I mean big deal, its not exactly the end of the world is it?
Or have people not as savvy as those here to deploy the right tools to stop this lost the gumption & common sense to pick the phone up & check with their bank, on-line retailer & so on when they see some sporadic communication such as that?
Didn't their iPurchase of a iWannabe device guarantee them iMmunity to all forms of security threat due to "superior design"!?!?!?! Oh dear, I see a host of fanbois that I need to go give some grief to. This could take a while.....
Err, no it hasn't surely.
At least in this country, a door number and a post code is pretty much enough to whittle it down enough, especially with mother's maiden name...
users are idiots.. we know that. apple knows that, microsoft and mozilla knows that.. part of browser safty is to protect users from their own stupidity, to say that the safari is fine and that its the users fault is therefor just escaping your responsibility as a browser vendor imo
this is a massive kick in the balls for safari and a minor poke for ff.. and soemtimes, thats a good thing. who would have thought ie would release a remotley standards compliant browser before ff? now ie8 is on they way, passing all kinds of compliance tests..
Macs are safe from this kind of stuff, that's why St. Steve has decreed there's no point having a stupid phishing philter in Safari. And even if it did, it would be a total waste of time because Mac users are statistically more likely to be of higher intelegence and as such wouldn't fall for a cheap trick like this in a million years.
It's all you PC users who are the lusers, with your inferior operating system, processors and superfluous mouse buttons!
PS. Why doesn't The Register add an icon of an ostrich burying its head in the sand to the list of images to choose from?
I figure El Reg will have to take on extra staff just to cover the volume of people queueing up to laugh at Apple lusers.
But I agree with Matt above (great name btw) that if you're really that much of a fuckwit to follow a link from an email prompting you to enter billing details AND don't notice that the URL is totally bogus, then you're a moron.
I'm an Apple user and my life is far less stress free after making the switch a couple of years ago, but that's not to say I just tossed away all common sense when I became Stevie's latest bitch.
when you need him?
<switches on huge searchlight with 'W' logo pointed at the sky>
No OS can save you from a simple web link in an email, but really even Mac users should be aware www.Mac.com is not www.ZOMGSOMERANDOMSITE.com/lalala/mac.com/stealyourdetails.php
around the world having a strop.
How long befor a Mac/Linex fanboy posts giving us some list of why IE is bad?
this is a chance to have a pop at Apple, so haha.
but perhaps if mobileme had worked then this scam would have had less effect.
perhaps if the days of testing applications for the internet were not being continually cut, (by low computer competency management folk who think that if something runs once with one user it does not need any testing), phishing would see a decline and the mantra of 'never ask for details in an email' would not be open to 'except when we mess up a major system and billing launch'.
No security is going to stop people willingly downloading and running attachments or filling in their credit card details on some dodgy website or jumping off cliffs...
Should we have a paper clip appearing next to the web browser saying "It looks like you're filling in your credit card details, are you are gullible idiot"?
Someone sends the odd million emails out pretending to be from a big company, telling them to reinstate their accounts by putting personal details in.
Where's the news?
Occasionally, though, they seem to forget that there are people who don't actually have much in they way of intellectual acumen. Merely to denigrate them for their stupidity doesn't do much to help.
It's difficult to teach people who aren't terribly bright how to cope in an increasingly technical and rather mean world, but that's what's needed.
... will you still be able to afford all the humble pie that needs to be eaten?
(although clearly this is Micro$loth's fault somehow)
"IE sux0rs still, FF is still t3h pwn"
erm, yeah...
It's the user.
I always make a point of telling my clients that if they ever get an email from a service that they do actually use it will always be addressed to them personally. It will never be "dear paypal user" or "dear customer". And even when it is addressed personally, never ever click on a link before checking to see where it goes. Also, I tell them to read the mail properly. Most bogus mails are written in webster phreaky english.
I suppose like most here, I get a dozen or more of these bogus mails every day in my various accounts. Every once in a while I have a look at them to see what they are like. Some of them are very good and will fool most people - if they don't check the browser address bar to see where the connection has actually gone.
But what amazes me is that some people don't think before blindly filling in the boxes. For example. I have an itunes account. When I set it up it asked for my name address and CC number plus the security code. It also asked me for a memorable question. That, AFAICR is all it wanted to know. So now, If I follow this latest iTunes Phish, It asks me those self same things again (which COULD be legitimate) but also it wants mothers maiden name, social security number (which we don't use in the UK), driver's license details and various other things.
Surely a bank, or a website that sell items for 79 pence does not need to know my driver's licence info (or all the other stuff the site asks for).
I sometimes despair.
Correction. I always despair.
Remember Apple's big advertising campaign about how mac's don't get viruses?
Well, we know the reason now.
Instead of using a virus/spyware to steal their information, Apple's users now give it away freely, why make spyware when you can copy and paste a website?
I hear a helicopter, i've exposed apple's secrets
A lot of Mac users aren't as technically gifted as some of the people on here, my mother for instance can only use my MacBookPro because I showed her how to put what she was looking for in google, she wouldn't know what phishing is or how it works and to be honest I don't think she is gonna start learning about it now.
Your making the same assumption as mozilla and apple in thinking that the user is not an idiot, rule number 1 when designing software is treat the user as an idiot.
People are now exempt from using their common sense and are to rely entirely on what their browser tells them is safe?
How many times has the mantra been repeated.
Dont trust on face value, frankly now its getting to the point where these people deserve all they get.

My arse," made me blindly comply without thinking at all would be a better end to that paragraph"
Mac users think they are better because they own Mac (i tested this theory many time over and always proven right). But the deal is: owning a Mac proves that you have lots of money (to the point of serving it on a silver plater to identity thiefs) and that your are extremly stupid.
The avarage IQ of a typical Mac user is in the lower single digit. (now deal with it)
Paris: because she probably own every Mac model ever made.
Wake up and smell the coffee you morons.
You can get phished on any computer....anywhere...at any time.
It dosen't matter if your a Mac user or a Windows user or a Linux user.
Anyone who claims such and such user is smarter than the other is nothing more than the stupidest user on the face of the planet.
Take your ego and shove it where the sun don't shine.
It's easy to avoid phishing... it's called don't get click happy and pay attention to where your going.
If you can't do that... you DESERVE To get phished!
Oh and Joe Harrison.... this isn't a virus... go back to your Stockholm Syndrome therapist... he's got your medication. The same thing can happen to you on your shiny windows platform... or even linux... DUH!
At least, they used to be.
And I always thought that Mac users were hip, sophisticated, intelligent and not just plain STUPID!
How dumb can you be when you see a URL like http://www.dumbass.com/www.apple.com/login.php ? And Mac users are always laughing at Windows users?
Uh hellooo! I think Joe Harrison already pointed out its not a virus...think you should check the status of your own medication...
I think the point that most of the Apple fanbois seem to missing here is that the Apple is sold as innately more secure than MS, and although you cannot completely cater for the idiot user, IE at least tries and Safari can't be bothered...is that security by design...? Not in my book...
>>>Err, no it hasn't surely.
>>>At least in this country, a door number and a post code is pretty much enough to whittle it down enough, especially with mother's maiden name...
However, the personal information in question is for someone in Racine, Wisconsin, whch as you can imagine, is NOT in the UK. In the US, ZIP codes cover much larger areas than the UK's postal codes.
Paris, because even she knows Wisconsin is in the US.
Dumber because they are so smug that they are more secure than other PC users.
Dumbest for falling for such an easy scam.
Can't wait for all them to cry their Apple Juice tears when the first zero day hits all of their unsecure devices and wipes their drives and bank accounts clean. Hehehehehehe ..... This is not an if, it is a definite when.
Who taught the world that lack of reliability was "ok"? Microsoft.
Who taught the world that lack of security was "ok"? Microsoft.
Who has continued make users accept crashes as being "ok"? Microsoft.
Who has turned computer science and IT into a fucking joke? Microsoft, mainly.
For 30 fucking years this company has made "mediocre" and "unreliable" bywords for the IT industry. More than anything else, I hate Microsoft for that.

'Cashel Town' by Tommy Butler
Cashel man Tommy Butler, Wallers Lott, Clonmel Road, who recently celebrated his 87th birthday has taken to the pen and written a poem to voice his disgruntlement at the direction his beloved Cashel is taking.
A man who gave most of his working life working on the land with neighbour John Ryan and later for Going & Smith and Sweeney's Bakeries in Bank Place, is thus qualified to have an opinion on what he calls progress.
"I'm going back to the good old days when Cashel was a town,
"With lots of shops and butcher's stalls, what you'd want was easily found.
"T'was nice to see the cattle being sold around the street
"When buyers and sellers at the market house would meet.
"Then a buyer starts buying and this is what he said,
"I'm a customer for your cattle at twenty pounds a head. Then farmer jack would pause and think and he'd say you won your battle.
"Make a cheque, place it in my hand and then they'll be your cattle.
"Then farmer Jack would be happy, he'd go home without a care,
"He'd tell his wife and family, he had a good day at the fair. But then the years started rolling on with shops and stalls closing down, and then came in those who destroyed our lovely town.
"They rooted up our footpaths, with the exception of a few, from Friar Street down to John Street corner.
"The way they replaced them back, you can see they haven't a clue.
"We had lots of space for parking cars at the end of the city hall but then they put in that plaza, now we have no parking space at all.
"Still it's nice to think of the good old days, when you were rich with half a crown, and to say goodbye to those who destroyed our lovely town."


text: Chauss and Loganz, I did it thanks to you guys. I had looked at this boot in the early fall and loved it. However, I have been so busy with Chanel and Hermes that I did not look into getting a pair. A few days ago I logged on to Dior and saw you were looking for a pair. Then ,I saw Chauss and she looked so great in those boots. I phoned my SA in Paris asap and he had one air left in Congac. They should be arriving in a few days. Also, I logged on to one of my favorite new designers, H Fredriksson. H FREDRIKSSON She is Swedish and does outstanding clothes, lots of silk, wool, and natural fabrics. There is a wonderful dress frame 7, I think, in grey wool with a wide lace insert, lovely. Model is wearing black western style boots. I think the Dior boot will be great with this dress, at least I hope so. Also, look at frames 10. 12, and 13. They are all in silk and are wonderful. Loganz, Don't give up on your search, there is a pair for you. Log on to the Dior site and see where there boutiques are located in the states. Give them a call and see what is available. Chauss, Thanks for modeling those boots. Your SA should give you a discount on your next purchase. I am sure you indeed sold a lot of boots for Dior, you look stunning. There is a very delighted daughter in this house.

TD Reached at Caza Well
Caza announced that the Caza 158 #1 well (the "158 well") in Upton County, Texas, operated by Devon, reached a total depth of 11,012 feet on September 17, 2010. Electric logs indicated multiple potential pay sands in the Wolfcamp, Spraberry and Atoka formations. The production casing has been set and Devon is preparing the 158 well for further completion operations. The completion procedure will include a necessary fracture stimulation program. The initial, single stage frac is scheduled for mid October and will be performed in the Atoka formation with future frac procedures planned for the Wolfcamp and Spraberry formations.
Caza also announced that following the success of the 158 well, the rig has moved onto the Caza 162 #1 well (the "162 well") location and commenced drilling. The 162 well will test the western portion of the Windham Wolfberry Prospect.
Caza currently has a 25.0% working interest and a corresponding 18.75% net revenue interest in each well.
Caza's Chief Executive Officer W. Michael Ford, said, "We are very pleased to announce that the 158 #1 is scheduled for completion. Successful future production tests on both this well and the 162 #1 well will spearhead a development program across our current lease block with the potential for approximately 16 locations on 80 acre spacing."

New Music School is the first Yamaha Education Center in the nation.
NMS has teamed up with the Yamaha Corporation of America to take our students' education to the next level. In addition to graciously providing the fine pianos for the studios at NMS, Yamaha is offering exclusive pricing for NMS families on renting and buying pianos.
Suggested Options for NMS Families
NMS and Yamaha have worked together to select a few models that we recommend. If you choose to go outside these options, please contact NMS so we can help with your selection. The pianos we have chosen will show pricing for each of the options below for each piano listed.
- Yamaha Rental Program
- Yamaha Hybrid Piano (made acoustic with a digital sound)
- Yamaha Acoustic Pianos
- Yamaha Acoustic Pianos with Silent Piano
- amaha Acoustic Pianos with Enspire
Keyboard vs Acoustic?
Because we know students who learn on keyboards quit after the first year of study because they can't achieve our expectations of them, NMS has a firm no-keyboard policy after the first year of study. This includes any Yamaha Clavinova branded instrument.
New Music School is also proud to have one of Yamaha's Disklavier systems, the world's most technically advanced music-reproduction system. Capable of recording a live piano performance and playing it back exactly as performed, the instrument is extremely useful as a practice tool, as well as for opening up the possibility of long-distance piano lessons. All Yamaha grand pianos and most uprights are capable of being purchased with the Disklavier system as an option.
For more details on Yamaha pianos, please visit Yamaha's website.
If you are ready to move forward with a rental or purchase, please inform Piano Forte (at 900 N Michigan Ave, Level 6) that you are a New Music School student and/or bring the PDF of pricing with you. At NMS, we are here to help you, so please do not hesitate to involve us in the process.

Strange White Stuff, Tennessee, USA
These pictures came from Anthony(Thank you Anthony!)
From what is known the last owner had bought this VW Golf GTI from someone. It wasn't working when he got it. Thought this was no problem since the new owner was good in fixing German cars. But then he tried and tried fixing it up to no avail. No matter what he did the car just would not start would not work. . He then thought of selling it on eBay. He went and took pics of it and was shocked to see this white looking stuff above his car. Most of the shots he took had these white floating things above it. No one was smoking and nothing was burning according to him. He tried taking pics of the car with other cameras but ended up with the same white stuff. So the owner forgot about the idea of possibly selling his car on eBay because he didn't want to post pics of his car with these white things on. Surprises didn't stop there apparently. One day he came upon some toys in his car which seemed to belong to a girl. He didn't know who it belonged to so he called the ex owner and asked him if they were his and if he wanted them back?. The ex-owner didn't. He said they used to belonged to his little girl who died in a freak accident at home in the tub. She drowned under strange circumstances. The matter in which she died was very questionable and made no sens but no one was willing to investigate this case. When the new owner heard that these toys belonged to a dead girl he freaked out. He decided to give it away for free to anybody. Anybody who was willing to take it away. He just wanted it out of his sight. Someone came and took the car but for some unknown reason the car was later crushed.
*If anybody knows anything about the history of this car then please get back to us.Thank you.*
1. Strange cloud like stuff.

3. Again the smoke looking stuff.

Abbey Road in Liverpool – The Sessions through BI eyes
On Wednesday 30 March the Liverpool Echo Arena was home to a truly unique show: The Live re- staging of The Beatles recording at Abbey Road Studios in London. The closest opportunity you'll ever get of experiencing the Beatles in their natural habitat, Abbey Road Studio 2.
Upon entering the venue you will immediately notice that a true to life copy of Studio 2, complete with control room and stairs on the left, takes up the central part of the floor. The 'studio' is surrounded by transparent screens on which images and texts are projected featuring Liverpool, London, screaming fans, lyrics, instruments, flowers, Blue Meanies, and much more.
The show kicks off with of how it was when they broadcast All You Need Is Love. Many people were there at the time and that's exactly what the director wants to tell us. It takes around 45 people to create the same atmosphere, the same sounds and the same extras as the 4 Beatles wanted in the sixties. A 'true to life' George Martin tells the audience about the recordings in between the songs. If you close your eyes now, can actually hear George's accent. The entire was, by the way, dedicated to 'the 5th Beatle'.
After All You Need Is Love it went from Please Please Me to Yellow Submarine in 70 minutes.
They played a couple of tracks from every album, sometimes in edited arrangements. To get the complete, mostly double-tracked voices and instruments, there were 2 sets of 4 Beatles, at least 3 sets of instruments and there was a whole orchestra to support them.
After the break the show continues (of course) with Sgt.Pepper, With A Little Help From My Friends, Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, Within You, Without You, She's Leaving Home, Pepper II / A Day In The Life.
The big surprise was the fact that they skipped the complete 'Let It Be' album, stating that this was 'not a pleasant time'. The Abbey Road Album ended with a medley of songs and Hey Jude.
Conclusion: Excellent show, a true audio and visual extravaganza, and much better than the average cover band. We definitely had a wonderful evening.
A tip if you're planning to see the show but don't have tickets yet: If you want to sit as close to the studio as possible, then don't. Because we did and we realised too late, this was not the smartest idea we ever had. We had floor seats on row 4, to the right of the 'stage'. Nice enough when going to a concert, but in this case seats somewhere higher up would have been much better for an 'all over' view of the show.
And all this for 4 lads from Liverpool.
PAUL knows about BEATLES INTERNATIONAL now!
PARIS, March 5th 2012:
Knowing Paul would be in Paris for Stella's fashion show we planned to try to let him know about this website.
So when he came out of his hotel we saw him and we managed to give him a BI card. On the back we had written a request.
Of course we hope he now knows who we are and we'll see what happens in the future.
Thank you Dominique for your support!

BI meets CROSBY & NASH in Paris
where CROSBY, STILLS & NASH covered Beatles song
CROSBY, STILLS & NASH have covered the Beatles song Norwegian Wood during their 2010 Summer Tour (BI saw them and met Graham in Paris at the renowned Olympia theatre). They started this tradition in 1968 when they tried out Blackbird in a three-voice-setting and they played it in 1969 at the famous Woodstock Music And Art Fair. Much much later they recorded a wonderful version of In My Life as well and now they are trying out some covers for an album to be released in the near future. So they have included a very harmonic version of Norwegian Wood to their present setlist.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVzQjdg7P3E .
Beatlesfans are always a bit critical about other people singing Beatles songs, but I think it would be a very nice thing if CSN would record a whole album with Beatles songs.
Graham, if/when you read this, thank you very much (and David and Stephen) for a wonderful evening in Paris. Please do come back to Europe!
And they did in 2011! Included in the setlist were Blackbird and (in Oslo only)
Norwegian Wood, sung with brilliant guitar player Shane Fontane!
We even met David in the streets of Paris and presented him (and later Nash) with a rare Beatles-Rockband-mixes CD.
BI meets John Hammel, Rusty, Brian and Paul 'Wix' Wickens
Beatles International (as Brian's guests) meets John Hammel, Rusty, Brian and Paul 'Wix' Wickens backstage in Arnhem. We had a nice chat with especially Wix who promised us, after this tour, we could call him to do an interview. This would take place somewhere in the beginning of 2010 when he is already 21 years part of Paul McCartney's musical life and we'd ask him how his musical life has developed since he joined up with Paul McCartney in 1988. And also, how he managed to deal with all the Beatles musical arrangements.
But it's almost a year since we met and up until today we tried a couple of times but we weren't able to reach him again. So we really don't know when or if it's going to happen.
As you know they're still on the road, we don't know for how long, we won't give up, we'll keep you informed.

TOKYO -- Atlanta Braves closer John Rocker, that famous friend of immigrants, might soon be one himself.
A highly placed baseball official told The Record (Hackensack, N.J.) on Sunday that the Braves and the Montreal Expos are on the verge of a deal that would swap Rocker for closer Ugueth Urbina, removing Atlanta's greatest headache.
The good news for New York area fans is that Rocker will still be in the National League East, where they can get frequent chances to respond to his attacks on the city.
The deal has been close to fruition for days, the source said. The delay has been discussion about who else might be included. The Braves would prefer to make a straight swap, but the Expos want another pitcher, preferably young starter Bruce Chen. It is unlikely that Atlanta will give up Chen, and it is unlikely that Montreal will make the deal without another player thrown in, but an Atlanta source said a deal is believed to be imminent.
Urbina, a famous grump himself, led the National League with 41 saves last year. Rocker, who had 38 saves and a 2.49 ERA, became baseball's greatest public enemy this winter when he ranted about minorities, ''foreigners,'' gays, and unwed mothers on the No. 7 subway in New York.
McMichael a perfect fit
LAKELAND, Fla. -- Greg McMichael's return is a natural fit for a pitcher who still makes his home in the Atlanta area and for a team needing to bolster its bullpen.
McMichael, who appeared in 265 games with the Braves from 1993-96 and has a 3.21 career ERA, returned to the team Sunday, agreeing to a minor league contract three days after being released by the Cubs.
''I've always envisioned being able to play with the Braves again because we enjoyed it so much,'' McMichael said. ''I'm a little apprehensive right now because there's still a lot of work to do.''
McMichael, 33, was going to be on the Cubs opening day roster, but refused to sign a waiver allowing the team to send him to the minors in the future, and was granted his release. The changeup artist was 1-1 with a 3.68 ERA in six games with Chicago this spring, allowing five hits and three walks in 7 1/3 innings, while limiting opposing hitters to a .192 average.
''Considering everything, I'd have to say it was a pretty unique situation with the Cubs,'' he said. ''But it worked out for the best. I'm very excited about it.''
McMichael, who has three children and lives in the Atlanta suburb of Duluth, threw for Braves scouting director Roy Clark this winter and was impressive, but the club decided against signing him. Now, with two spots open in the bullpen, he'll probably start the season as a setup man and long reliever.
''Based on what's going on with our pitching right now, we want to give Greg a chance to battle for (a job),'' general manager John Schuerholz said.
With six exhibition games remaining, manager Bobby Cox plans to get McMichael in twice before Monday's season opener against the Rockies. The veteran right-hander's arrival probably dooms Paul Assenmacher's chances of making the team. Luis Rivera has the inside track for one job in the bullpen and McMichael will likely take the other one.
When John Rocker returns from his two-week suspension April 18, Rivera will probably be sent to the minors.
After four outstanding seasons in Atlanta, McMichael was traded in a salary dump to the Mets for Paul Byrd and Andy Zwirchitz in November 1996. He's bounced around since then, going to the Mets (twice), the Dodgers and the A's. He struggled with injuries last season, posting a 1-1 record and 4.82 ERA in 19 games with the Mets and a 5.40 ERA in 17 games with the A's.
McMichael underwent arthroscopic surgery last October to smooth out fraying in his rotator cuff and says he's almost 100 percent now.
''Coming off surgery you always wonder if you're going to be even better,'' he said. ''As the season goes on I'll definitely get stronger.''
Long road for Smoltz
John Smoltz's right arm is bent at an angle, splinted and wrapped.
''The first two weeks are going to be kind of tough to get through,'' he said Sunday morning by telephone from his Duluth home. ''I'm taking a lot of pain medication. There are times I try and fight through it and I can't.''
Smoltz, whose ligament was replaced by Dr. James Andrews Thursday, will miss the 2000 season. Doctors will remove the splint this week, but he won't be allowed to start throwing again for four months.
In the meantime, he'll cheer on his beloved Michigan State Spartans and his Braves teammates. He plans to be in Indianapolis Saturday for the Spartans' semifinal game, but won't stay for Monday's championship game because the Braves open the season the same day.
Smoltz said Saturday was a good day because his high school basketball team won the state championship and the Spartans advanced to the Final Four.
''But I couldn't be as animated as I wanted to be,'' he said.
Seanez hoping to return
Rudy Seanez is keeping his fingers crossed that he can stay off the disabled list to start the season. The reliever, who left last Tuesday's game with a strained right lateral muscle, is hoping to return to the mound by the middle of the week.
''I still feel it,'' he said. ''But as soon as I can throw without it altering my mechanics, I'll be out there. The last thing I want to do is go in there and not be right and think more about the injury than about pitching.''
Seanez was the bullpen's top reliever when he was injured, allowing one run in five innings and limiting hitters to a .133 average.
Tigers top Braves
LAKELAND, Fla. -- Tony Clark continued to break out of his slump with his first home run of the spring and struggling Brian Moehler pitched six strong innings Sunday as the Detroit Tigers beat the Atlanta Braves 7-3.
Clark's two-run homer was one of three off Atlanta starter Tom Glavine, who allowed nine hits and seven runs in six innings.
Juan Gonzalez hit a solo homer, his fifth, and Damion Easley went 3-for-3, including a solo homer.
The Braves have lost seven of eight.
Notes: The Braves signed reliever Greg McMichael to a minor-league contract on Sunday. McMichael, a former Brave, was released earlier in the week by the Chicago Cubs. ... Rafael Furcal, 19, the Braves shortstop of the future, went 3-for-5 and stole his fifth base in eight attempts this spring. Furcal, who had 96 steals last season in the minors, is slated for Double-A Greenville. ... Hideo Nomo will be the Tigers starting pitcher in the season-opener at Oakland on April 3. Moehler will pitch the third game of the season. When the club returns from a 10-day road trip, he will start in the first-ever game at Detroit's new Comerica Park on April 10.

To escape her seclusion and learn whether she'll be reincarnated, Ana travels to the city of Heart, but its citizens are suspicious and afraid of what her presence means. When dragons and sylph attack the city, is Ana to blame?
Sam believes Ana's new soul is good and worthwhile. When he stands up for her, their relationship blooms. But can he love someone who may live only once, and will Ana's enemies—human and creature alike—let them be together? Ana needs to uncover the mistake that gave her someone else's life, but will her quest threaten the peace of Heart and destroy the promise of reincarnation for all?

* Expects FY sales to grow between 8 and 11 pct
* North America sales up 14 pct; international down 1 pct
* Shares fall 3.9 pct as margin forecast unchanged (Adds details from conference call, analyst comment; updates share price)
July 28 (Reuters) - Engine-maker Cummins Inc raised its revenue forecast this year, on the back of increased demand from North American truck makers, but its shares dropped as much as 3.9 percent as investors were unimpressed.
Offsetting the strong home market was a 16 percent fall in Brazilian sales, dragging down overall international sales 1 percent.
"They raised the topline guidance, but did not raise the margin guidance. Therefore, there is somewhat of a disappointment," said William Blair analyst Lawrence De Maria.
The company said it expected revenue to rise 8-11 percent this year, up from a previous forecast of a 6-10 percent gain and broadly in line with analyst expectations.
"Demand is growing in on-highway markets in North America this year as the economy improves and we have gained market share in medium-duty truck and bus markets," Chief Executive Tom Linebarger said in a statement.
However, the company kept unchanged its 2014 forecast for earnings margin, before interest and taxes, of between 12.75 percent and 13.25 percent of sales, citing higher warranty repair costs on its EPA 2013 engines, used in its on-highway trucks.
In the second-quarter ended June 29, revenue from engines for heavy-duty and medium-duty trucks and buses rose 10 and 9 percent, respectively.
Overall sales of engines, which make up three-quarters of revenue, rose 3 percent as the North American strength made up for lower engine sales in Brazil, where truck production is sliding in a weak economy.
Cummins' total revenue rose to $4.84 billion from $4.53 billion a year earlier.
Net income attributable to the company rose 7.7 percent to $446 million, or $2.43 per share.
Analysts on average had expected earnings of $2.38 per share on revenue of $4.83 billion, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Cummins' shares closed down 3.1 percent at $145.35 on the New York Stock Exchange. (Reporting by Mridhula Raghavan in Bangalore; Editing by Maju Samuel and Savio D'Souza)

Some educators consider GIS to be one of the most promising means for implementing educational reform. However, GIS technology has been adopted by only 1% of American high schools. This research describes the geographic and curricular extent to which GIS technology and methods are being implemented in secondary education in the USA, explains why and how GIS is being implemented, and assesses the effects of GIS-based lessons on teaching and learning. A national survey of 1,520 high schools provided primary data to explain the extent of the implementation. A set of experiments and case studies provided primary data for assessing the effects of GIS. GIS provides issues-based, student-centered, standards-based, inquiry-oriented education, but its effectiveness is limited primarily by social and structural barriers. GIS is implemented primarily by veteran science teachers at high schools who perceive that GIS provides interdisciplinary, real world relevance. Results of experiments were mixed. Case studies showed that GIS changes teacher and student roles, communication, and methods of teaching and learning.

BOSTON (WWLP) – Governor Charlie Baker revived a significant military tradition at the State House on Friday. He commissioned new officers to the Massachusetts Army National Guard, a ceremony that has not taken place in decades.
104th Fighter Wing Colonel James Keefe told 22News, "I think the last time this was done was after World War II 1948, so he's bringing back the tradition of the governor, who is the Commander-in-Chief of the National Guard in Massachusetts, commissioning the newly minted officers."
Major General Gary Keefe of the Massachusetts National Guard presented Governor Baker with the Commander-in-Chief flag. The traditional flag represents the Governor's role as the head of the state militia and is to be displayed at official military events.
Massachusetts has a rich military history. The Massachusetts Army National Guard has the four oldest U.S. Army organizations in the nation dating back to year 1636.
Miguel Atila Gonzalez of Southampton was commissioned to the National Guard on Friday. He said, "I'm all about tradition. My father was in the army. My sister is a West Point graduate and she was in the army and you know, I just want to make my family proud."
The newly-commissioned military officers will also receive a federal commission from the President of the United States, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces.

That connection empowers the person being coached to recognize and draw on his or her own innate ability and resources to make lasting changes for better health and well-being."

I handle a wide variety of theft cases—everything from a bounced check for just a few dollars to embezzlement of over a hundred thousand. I can often convince the prosecutor to dismiss or reduce your case if you can pay back the money (which can almost always be stretched out into a payment plan). However, when the amount is too high to pay back upfront, there are several possible scenarios that prevent a conviction on your criminal record. Although theft cases are often the easiest for the State to prove (for example, with a video of the person shoplifting or a paper trail with the person's signature all over it), my highest rate of dismissals is with theft cases.

Item Description...
In Galatians and Ephesians, Couch and Witmer help the reader discover both the heart of the apostle Paul and the heart of the New Testament gospel. In both epistles, the reader is enveloped in the truth that salvation is by Christ alone, through grace alone, by faith alone.
Publishers Description
WHAT IS THE REAL GOSPEL of salvation by Jesus Christ? How does it relate to works and the Law? And what difference that make in my life or yours? You will find the answers to those questions and more in this commentary on Galatians and Ephesians by Mal Couch and the late John Witmer.
GALATIANS is a book all about God and His gospel. There were those who the Galatians that keeping the Law would make them righteous. There still those today who say that the work of Christ is insufficient, that we must add something to His sacrifice-our own merits or the merits of others. The reader will discover afresh that salvation is by Christ alone, through grace along, and by faith alone.
EPHESIANS is a book about the church and believers. It echoes the teaching of Galatians in stating, "For by grace have you been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves it is a gift of God; not as a result of works, that no one should boast." But Ephesians lays on this foundation an understanding of the purpose of the church and the responsibility of the believer. Believers are to live in unity and imitate God by good works. the reader will learn what difference the gospel makes in our daily lives.
In "Galatians" &" Ephesians" the reader will discern both the heart of the apostle Paul and the heart of the New Testament gospel. In both epistle, the reader is enveloped in the truth that salvation is by Christ alone, through grace alone, by faith alone.

This isn't your plain old ordinary lip balm, no-siree, this here is a LIP BUTTAH. We focus only on the butters and oils that are good for your lips, like cocoa butter, shea butter, avocado oil and hazel nut oil. We only add a touch of natural beeswax to the end of the formulation to make this beautiful formulation a touch firmer. We use either organic flavoring oils or essential oils for a little scent kick. We also use NO SUGAR...now, why would I mention that? Well, lemmie tell ya. Big companies often add lots of fillers to their products to make them so tasty and yummy that you go about licking and eating it all off your lips. This leads to chapped lips and that's really not the point of all this lip butter makin business. The focus of my product is to soothe your cracked, tired and sore lips using my special formulation of oils that are up to the challenge! No sugar means no taste which also means that it stays on your lips longer.

On This Date: Ex-College Hoopers Make Their Mark on April 12 MLB Games
Extra! Extra! As a new season unfolds, read all about memorable major league baseball achievements, moments and transactions involving former college basketball players! Numerous ex-college hoopers had front-row seats to many of the most notable games and dates in MLB history.
Baseball is portrayed as a thinking man's game but only 4% of active MLB players earned college diplomas. Unless you habitually pore over the content at baseballlibrary.com, baseballreference.com and nationalpastime.com, following is an April 12 calendar focusing on such versatile MLB athletes:
RHP Rich Beck (listed on Gonzaga's basketball roster in 1961-62) purchased from the Philadelphia Phillies by the New York Yankees in 1965.
RHP Dick Hall (averaged 13.5 ppg from 1948-49 through 1950-51 for Swarthmore PA Middle Atlantic States Conference Southern Division champions) traded by the Kansas City Athletics to the Baltimore Orioles in 1961.
In 1961, San Francisco Giants C Tom Haller (backup forward for Illinois in 1956-57 and 1957-58 under coach Harry Combes) stroked his first MLB hit, a homer off Pittsburgh Pirates P Vern Law.
A pinch-hit homer by OF Lynn Jones (averaged 10.4 ppg for Thiel PA from 1970-71 through 1973-74) accounted for the Detroit Tigers' only runs in a 6-2 loss against the Toronto Blue Jays in 1981.
Cleveland Indians rookie CF Kenny Lofton (Arizona's leader in steals for 1988 Final Four team compiling 35-3 record) swiped four bases against the Boston Red Sox in the opener of a 1992 doubleheader.
Detroit Tigers RHP Jeff Robinson (two-time NAIA All-District 3 hoops honoree in early 1980s left Azusa Pacific CA as school's No. 9 all-time scorer) won his MLB debut, allowing only one run in seven innings in a 7-1 victory against the Chicago White Sox in 1987.
After a pair of rainouts, 1B-OF Norm Siebern (member of Southwest Missouri State's back-to-back hoops NAIA Tournament titlists in 1952 and 1953) socked a decisive eighth-inning HR to give the New York Yankees a season-opening 3-2 win over the visiting Boston Red Sox in 1959.
Pittsburgh Pirates RHP Kent Tekulve (freshman hooper for Marietta OH in mid-1960s) commenced a streak of 12 relief appearances in a row without allowing an earned run in 1978.
Pittsburgh Pirates LHP Bob Veale (scored 1,160 points from 1955-56 through 1957-58 with Benedictine KS) outdueled San Francisco Giants P Juan Marichal, 1-0, in 1965.
San Diego Padres RF Will Venable (All-Ivy League first-team selection as junior and second-team choice as senior averaged 9.3 ppg under Princeton coach John Thompson III from 2001-02 through 2004-05) scored four runs against the Atlanta Braves in 2010.

Robust estimation of systematic risk using the t distribution in the chilean stock markets
This article deals with the estimate of the systematic risk of a share, assuming that returns follow an independent t distribution. In order to analyse the sensibility to possible outliers and/or atypical returns of the maximum likelihood estimator of the systematic risk, the local influence method was implemented. The results are illustrated by using a set of shares of companies belonging to the Chilean stock market. The main conclusion is that the t model with small degrees of freedom is able to incorporate possible outliers and influential returns in the data.
