A California produce company has found a way to make the Farm to Fork movement a reality for customers in urban areas across the state – including those who live in food deserts. Farm Fresh To You is a service that delivers produce from Capay Organic, the company's own farm, as well as from about 50 other organic farms across the state directly to customers' doors in the San Francisco, Sacramento, Los Angeles and San Diego metropolitan areas each week. "Our philosophy is that for local produce to be successful, we need to make it as easy as possible for people to make the best selection of local produce show up at their door each week," said Thaddeus Barsotti, one of the brothers who owns the business. "We've been very successful at keeping customers happy because we've made it really easy to fit into their lives."
Capay Organic and Farm Fresh to You were originally founded in 1976 by Martin and Kathy Barsotti, Thaddeus' parents. Martin was a student at the University of California, Davis when he began developing his ideas about how to create direct relationships between farmers and consumers. He got a permit from the city of Davis to start a farmers market that's now one of the most robust in the country. Then, he and his wife decided that they wanted move out of the city and onto a farm, where they would use organic methods and make it their full-time careers.
Eventually, Martin left the business, but Kathy carried on. She heard about the idea of Community Supported Agriculture from another farmer, and in 1992, she adopted some of those ideas and started delivering produce directly to her CSA customers out of the back of her parents' Buick station wagon. Kathy kept track of her customers and what they liked and didn't like in binders full of account records. By 2000, the company was distributing about 500 boxes a month.
About 15 years ago, her sons, who'd grown up with the business, took it over after Kathy's death just after Thaddeus had graduated from college. Since then, the company has been growing aggressively throughout California, expanded its network of family farms, has added value-added farm products to the offerings and penetrated into food deserts with a business model that Barsotti says is scalable and adaptable elsewhere outside California. "We are serving food deserts in the Central Valley, Manteca, Stockton, some rural communities that are classified as food deserts. We can go there; we just need to have enough people to justify sending a driver out there," he said. "All of the food deserts in the Bay Area and Los Angeles – we go to all of those places."
Contents of the boxes change according to what's local to those regions. A purchasing team stays in touch with the whole network of farms to find out what's in season and available in their area, and they build local menus for each region each week. "It is a full-time job for a whole team of people," Barsotti said. The weekly boxes are packed in two facilities, one in Sacramento and one in Los Angeles. Sourcing and distributing season produce that's mostly local to each region across the entire state is the most difficult piece of the model – Barsotti calls it " pretty complicated and logistically rich," but the result is that Barsotti can sell the regular-size box that will feed a family of four for a week for $33. "We're pretty good at what we do. We've been doing it for a long time. The owners grew up doing this, growing produce and hustling produce at farmers markets. We understand it quite well," he said. "We're in the business. We know each week, what the best local organic produce is, and we make that selection for our customers, and they don't even have to think about it."
Customers can choose to be surprised by what shows up in their weekly box, or they can log onto the company's website to find out what the company plans to send and alter their box according to their own preferences. A customer might cancel this week's carrots, add more fruit or opt for spinach instead of kale.
Recently Farm Fresh To You began offering customers a few direct-from-the-farm processed food products sourced from farmers who also provide fresh produce products to the business, including jams, granola, juices, dried fruit, nuts, olive oil and tomato sauces. "We're excited about the specialty flours we have," Barsotti said. "Our niche is focusing on products that come straight off farms, and that includes processed things that preserve a crop."
Customers can also decide before they go on vacation, they'll donate their weekly box to a local food bank instead of suspending the service. Farm Fresh To You works with food banks in San Francisco, Sacramento, Los Angeles and San Diego that serve the communities in which the company's customers live and the affiliated family farmers grow. We've been able to get tens of thousands of pounds of fresh local organic food to our customers' local food banks, and we're really proud of that," Barsotti said. "We believe that everyone should be able to eat healthy food, but we recognize that not everyone can afford it."
New customers find out about the service either through meeting with Farm Fresh To You sales representatives that set up shop at local events such as home and garden shows or green festivals, through word of mouth from existing customers or by learning about it through the media exposure that the business has been attracting since a reporter for the San Francisco Chronicle wrote about it in the mid 1990s. These days, customers sometimes find the business online at www.farmfreshtoyou.com, where customers can sign up for deliveries of various sizes of boxes that contain fruits and vegetables, all fruits or all vegetables in a seasonal mix that varies according to the specific area in which the customer lives, depending on what's in season there.
"What 'local' means exactly also changes with the season. Summer and fall, most of the stuff's coming from our farm," Barsotti said. "In the winter, we want to make sure our customers still have a good selection, so they don't go back to using the grocery store, so we'll source in southern California for vegetables. Apples come from the Pacific Northwest." All of the produce, except bananas, is grown in the U.S. by family farmers. Barsotti probably wouldn't offer bananas at all, since they're strictly a tropical fruit, but Farm Fresh To You customers want them, so Barsotti compromises a bit by offering them fair trade organic bananas. "Our customers sign up because I'm a farmer. I know what's good," Barsotti said. "I take the health of our farmworkers seriously, and we make sure that all of the products we grow comply with U.S. labor laws."
While some customers are aware of the social justice aspects of Barsotti's purchasing, not all of them either know or care about anything other than that the business provides a dependable supply of fresh, local, organic produce. "I know we're doing that, and when a customer signs up, whether they know it or not, they're affecting my planting schedule and the jobs that come out of that. We're connecting customers directly to our field," Barsotti said. "We are trying to transform the food system. It can't be done on a tiny scale. It's a big thing. There are millions of people who need to eat better. Our objective is to find how we can get local, organic food to people at an affordable price."

Small Club, Tiny Town Rebound Together Walking to the post office in tiny Potwin, Sherri Wedel ran into Glen Crawford, who had taught at her high school. Crawford, nearing 90, had been an industrial arts teacher. He brooked no nonsense in class–a student could lose a finger to a power saw if not paying attention. But the teenagers respected him and knew he cared about them. Wedel, in her 40s now and the city clerk, was distressed to see him crying openly. "What's wrong, Mr. Crawford?" "We're turning in our charter. Tonight." A Lion since 1954, Crawford was one of just six active members in Potwin, Kansas, population 500. Besides himself, there was his wife, June, and then Dean Schmidt, the longtime town mayor, and his wife, Vera and a couple others. Members had grown older and then died or dropped out. For Crawford, losing the club was losing part of his identity. "To have it just die like that was a serious matter," he said later. Wedel chatted with Crawford for a few minutes and then hustled off, her mind spinning with an idea. Twenty miles north of Wichita, Potwin has no stop lights and a single four-way stop sign. Nearly the whole town comes into view by driving a few blocks down its main street and peering left and right. On the main street or just off of it are a bank, a post office, a grocery store, a bar, a gas station, a library, a lawyer's office, two churches and the unimposing city building, where Schmidt and Wedel occupy a cramped office adjacent to a dimly lit garage with the town's fire trucks. Not much ever happens in Potwin that makes the newspapers in Wichita or beyond. Pressed to recall a significant event, residents recount a natural event such as the 2005 ice storm, the 1998 wind storm or, from old timers, the epic 14 inches of rain in 1958 that flooded roads. The references to nature make sense, considering that vast swaths of farmland surround the Potwin and the land and the sky seem to be the overarching reality. Potwin remains tied to the land. Maybe in Chicago or Los Angeles stock prices or the scores of ball games connect people. Here people are attuned to the fate of local farmers. "This might be the best wheat harvest in 20 years–maybe 60 bushels an acre unless a hail storm hits," says Schmidt. "What's good for farmers is good for everyone else." A few generations ago farmers shared the main stage with industry. Potwin's heyday was in the 1950s when Vickers Refinery employed hundreds. Trucks, tank cars and pipelines carried the plant's products across the United States, and the 265-foot refinery tower was both a landmark and symbol of prosperity. But after nearly 50 years of operation the refinery closed in 1964, and restaurants and stores shut their doors not long after. Measured by population, Potwin is stable today. The head count had dwindled to about 400 from nearly 700 decades ago. In the last decade three new houses were built. Schmidt calls it a "bedroom community." Residents who work in El Dorado, the county seat, or Wichita like the quiet, the clean air and the absence of crime. The water and schools are good. "When we do our survey, people say they want two things: good streets, and, secondly, a good dog catcher," says Schmidt. In some ways, Potwin is a Kansas version of Mayberry. People look after one another, and adults admonish children, even if they aren't their own. New to town, June Crawford once gently corrected Glen for hollering at children roughhousing in a park. "I said, "You can't do that,'" she recalls. "He said, 'Yes, you can.'" When Wedel drives around town, she knows the names of the children in the yards or on their bikes and yells out a friendly hello to each. The formal boundaries that normally separate people often melt away. When the ATM machine outside Emprise Bank is on the fritz, customers don't think twice about walking over to the home of Marcie Macy, a bank employee, to tell her of the problem. Yet Potwin defies easy stereotypes. While it's true that everyone knows everyone, it's also true that some people are decidedly less social than others. The Methodist Church has 19 active members. The Scout troops disbanded when no one stepped forward to lead them. Baseball was once such a staple that the town's centennial book in 1985 declared that "Potwin and baseball are inseparable." But the ball diamond at the edge of town has not been used for years. Weeds mar the rutted infield. "Most people in town are not joiners," says June Crawford, who is quite familiar with small towns. She raised her five children in Alton, Illinois, and then worked in Athens, Georgia, as the secretary to the president of the University of Georgia. The community impulse in Potwin swells at times and then subsides. In the early 1970s Potwin joined PRIDE, an initiative of the state's Department of Economic Development and Kansas State University to help towns stay strong. The town quickly won an award from PRIDE for its community cleanup and recreational programs. The town dropped out of PRIDE after three years but joined again a decade later. Interest has waned once more. Twenty-five residents once belonged to PRIDE but that's down to five. Schmidt is president and other Lions are involved. The most visible sign of PRIDE is the 50-by-140-foot community garden. This year it's expected to yield 6,000 pounds of corn, tomatoes, potatoes, squash and other produce for the needy via the Salvation Army. The Crawfords live a block or so from the community garden in a tidy frame home with an American flag flapping in the wind. During World War II, Glen was in the Navy in Okinawa when the bullets were flying. A tuft of white hair sits atop his head. He gazes earnestly from wire-rimmed glasses and speaks forcefully when making a point. "She's been really good to me," he says of June. They met serendipitously, neither having a clue at the time they would end up as a married couple. They were with their respective spouses in 1988 when the two couples met at the airport in New York on the way to Europe. The couples hit it off and became fast friends. June's husband died not much later, and Glen's wife passed away in 1992 after an agonizing illness. Crawford taught at Frederic Remington High School in nearby Whitewater. The famed Old West artist once lived in the area. The Crawfords have first-rate copies of two Remington prints hanging in their living room. Crawford is not exactly famous himself, but people in Potwin pay him due respect. "Soon as they call me Mr. Crawford I know it's one of my students. I don't know half of them," he says with a smile. Crawford, who grew up on a farm, has good memories of his long life in Potwin. He remembers the nifty community play called "Screen Door," an endearing tribute to Potwin written by a woman who had moved into town. Schmidt had a lead role. Crawford's first wife, Alta, directed the play. Crawford played an elderly man who carried a live piglet in one scene. "There was a sophisticated lady from Wichita [in the audience] who wanted to touch it," he recalls. The Lions have been part of his routine decade after decade. He faithfully attended the meetings, worked the functions and cherished the friendships. "I really enjoyed the camaraderie," he says. Schmidt, who lives on the other side of main street from Crawford, has been mayor since 1987. "He quit running about 20 years ago. He's not even on the ballot. People just write his name in," says June Crawford. In a small town, Schmidt is especially valued for his general knowhow and can-do spirit. He is a throwback to the resourceful pioneers of the plains who could make do. For 42 years he worked for the Haw Ranch Feedlot including as operations manager. He oversaw 25,000 head of cattle and once worked 72 hours without a break when a technical problem disrupted the feeding of the cattle. The ranch is "a lot like a hospital. It runs 24 hours a day. Cattle don't care if you are sick or tired," says Schmidt, who projects confidence. Schmidt also serves as Potwin's unofficial –and unpaid–mechanic. In his basement is a wide assortment of tools and machine parts. "He's the town's handyman," says June Crawford. "If he's fixing something and needs a part in El Dorado, I'll say, 'I'll get it.' He'll say, 'I'm going there anyway.' You try to pay him and he says to make a donation to the church." Schmidt served as district governor in 1998-99. His front porch displays a small sign that says Lions Den. The club meets in his basement; a Lions' bell sits on a long folding table and the club banner hangs on the wall. The walls of a spare bedroom are blanketed with Lions' plaques and awards. Lions are a family matter for the Schmidts. A local newspaper lauded Vera and Dean as "everyday heroes" for personally recycling a half million eyeglasses at their home (though Dean insists Vera did most of the work). For years Dean returned from district meetings with the trunk of his Crown Vic filled with boxes of eyeglasses, and Vera, who suffers from various eye maladies, meticulously sorted and washed them. Schmidt is a person of many talents. He makes lures at his work table in the basement. The 100 pounds of croppie he catches over dozens of fishing trips make possible the club's fish fry. In his backyard is a vineyard, where 180 pounds of grapes will eventually help keep Lions' meetings light and lively. His backyard is a testament to his green thumb–row after row or clumps of corn, potatoes, raspberries, blueberries and pear and cherry trees. But the one thing Schmidt could not grow was new Lions. Membership dwindled. There were too few Lions for too much work. "This stuff turns white," says Schmidt, grabbing the hair on his head. "We got too old. You've got to be visible." It's not that Schmidt hadn't tried to build membership. "I thought I had asked everyone in town," he says. Chartered in 1952 with 38 members, the Potwin Lions Club was typically active. It sponsored baseball teams. It sent students to the Kansas Lions Band. It installed street signs, rattled cans on Candy Day and held a variety show and a free watermelon feed. Lions took a paternalistic interest in the town affairs. They successfully lobbied government officials to extend Highway 196 north into Potwin, and Lions made a number of renovations to Potwin Community House, the town's focal point. Built in 1917, the white-sided, stately building hosts school functions, community plays and meetings. The official history of the town probably would have not changed much if the Potwin Lions Club had never chartered. But Lions enriched Potwin in a subtle way. The club succeeded in getting people out of their homes to interact, to identify with one another as members of the same small community. For a while, the Lions showed movies at Community House. Each year, children enjoyed visits from Santa Claus and the Easter bunny thanks to Lions. "The Lions offered something to do in the community. There's not much going on," says June Crawford. The dearth of activities for youths was problematic. "There's nothing for them to do. You know what happens then. They do a lot of things they shouldn't," she adds. Yet, curiously, the town seemed indifferent to the fate of the club. "Lions have done a lot for this town. People don't know about it. They say, 'What have the Lions ever done?'" says Glen Crawford. The Lions once met at Community House, which they had painstakingly maintained. But they switched to Schmidt's basement after the town council asked for a $50 meeting fee. The day after Wedel talked to a brokenhearted Crawford, the handful of remaining Lions glumly gathered at a restaurant to turn in their charter. Wedel showed up. She had been on the phone or met her friends in person since talking to Crawford. With her was Robert Spencer, the owner of the town's bar. There was Jimmy Howell, a mason, and his wife, Amber, the librarian. Samantha Smith, who was in sales, made it as did a farmer and refinery worker and others. Most of Wedel's friends had children still at home, and she knew they wanted a strong Potwin for the sake of their children. "Let's do this for the future of the children," she told them. Wedel dangled a proposition to the Lions. Sixteen of her friends, most of them in their 30s and 40s, would join on the spot if the club agreed to fix up the baseball diamond. Repairing the ball diamond was no easy task. The lights would cost $80,000 or so. But saving the club was paramount. Glen Crawford let out a loud whoop when he realized the club would continue. "I think he scared the other people in the restaurant," says June. Crawford cried when the 16 new Lions took the oath, and this time Dean Schmidt cried along with him. The club was saved May 3, 2010. Since then, Lions have stepped up their activity and visibility. Their signature event now is the monthly motorcycle run. Bikers from hundreds of miles away converge around Community House the second Sunday of the month. A steady succession of loud rumbles, they ride into Potwin to hook up with friends, buy motorcycle products from vendors and enjoy the ambience of a small town. Exact numbers are not kept but on some Sundays thousands of bikers show up. The biggest day was Sept. 11, 2011. At least 3,000 bikers roared into town, which hosted a 9-11 commemoration. A nurse who was in one of the towers and a firefighter who hurried to ground zero from Kansas spoke movingly of their experiences. Tiny Potwin staged the largest 9-11 commemoration in Kansas, says Schmidt. The visitors generate cash for the town and its businesses. Each biker spends about $5, and 40 percent of that comes back to Potwin, says Schmidt. The No Fences bar is the biggest beneficiary. On a typical Sunday a dozen customers wander in. More than 1,000 crowd into No Fences on the day of the runs. Owner Robert Spencer, one of the 16 new Lions, hires a half dozen people to serve the throngs. Outside the Community House, Lions sell biscuits and gravy to the motorcyclists. The Crawfords show up for duty at 6:30 a.m. June makes the coffee, and Glen runs back and forth from the Community House with provisions. Besides offering breakfast, the club puts out a large jar for donations for the baseball field. It's not unusual to find $10 and $20 bills in the jar. The club has raised $18,000 for the lights so far. The magic number is $25,000, a threshold needed to secure grants. Other towns have hosted the motorcycle runs, not always to positive effect. The riders are not disheveled rebels. Many earn a good living as doctors, attorneys and business owners. They drink little, buying mostly soft drinks at the bar. But a sea of humanity descending on a quiet rural spot can be disruptive. "They've yet to leave a piece of trash," says Schmidt. "We have what's needed: seating, trees, shelter, a family atmosphere." Schmidt and Wedel built 21 sturdy picnic tables to accommodate the visitors. "She learned to weld and drill press," says Schmidt admiringly of Wedel. That's what the new Lions brought to the club: a solid work ethic. The club had a year's worth of cans that needed to be sorted and bagged for recycling. The new members tackled the task with gusto, quickly filling 98 55-gallon bags. "I thought it would take them two days to sort. It took three hours. They had fun. You should have heard them. They want to do it again," says Schmidt. Adds Glen Crawford of new members, "They back it up. They don't give lip service–they give labor service." Spencer, a large, bearish man, hosts the fish fry at his bar and came up with the idea to raffle off a hunting rifle for the club. He donated the rifle. When he won a rifle in a later auction, he donated it back to the club for yet another raffle. Being a Lion is a "good way to give back," he says. The new members offered new ideas. Bobby Mayberry, who recently opened an auto repair shop, directs the mud run Lions hold at the edge of the baseball field. The new members meant a new way of doing business for the club. In the past, attendance was required. That's why Wedel never joined, even though her mother, Lion Shirley Moore, had asked her to join. "Young people are too busy," says Schmidt. "Before you had to attend every meeting. Now it's attend the functions where you are needed." The club adapted to survive. "When you have kids you have a vested interest in the community. That's what makes a good Lion," adds Schmidt.

Marilyn L. Graves
Clerk of Supreme Court
Madison, WI
In the Matter of the Amendment of the Supreme Court Internal Operating Procedures
No. 98-03
The court, on its own motion, has considered the advisability of amending its Internal Operating Procedures concerning its opinions.
IT IS ORDERED that, effective the date of this order, II. G. of the Wisconsin Supreme Court Internal Operating Procedures is amended to read:
G. Opinion
Opinions are considered at scheduled conferences at which the court discusses and approves opinions prepared and previously circulated by the justices. The author of an opinion circulates the proposed opinion at least seven calendar days prior to the conferencing of the opinion. Any objections or suggestions to be made by a justice agreeing with the majority are submitted in writing to the author, with copies to all justices, at least three calendar days prior to the conference. At or prior to the conference, any justice may ask that an opinion be held for a subsequent conference.
The court votes on its opinions at
this conference. The court considers each opinion carefully as to language and
substance, and if there are any changes to be made that are of more than
minimal importance, the opinion is recirculated and reconferenced. Any justice,
whether or not in the majority
or not, may at any time prior to
the issuance of the mandate ask that the opinion be held and reconferenced.
Each justice who elects to write an opinion concurring in or dissenting from the court's opinion ordinarily announces that intention at opinion conference and, if possible, circulates that opinion prior to opinion conference. It is the duty of the author of a concurring or dissenting opinion and of a justice who has asked that an opinion be held to give first priority to the concurring or dissenting opinion and to the opinion being held. Justices are to circulate concurring or dissenting opinions and remove the hold of any opinion they have requested before circulating opinions in cases assigned to them.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that notice of this amendment of the Supreme Court Internal Operating Procedures be given by a single publication of a copy of this order in the official state newspaper and in an official publication of the State Bar of Wisconsin.
Dated at Madison, Wisconsin, this 22nd day of June, 1998.
Marilyn L. Graves,
Clerk of Court

Tighe's Tactics Board: Previewing Villa-Spurs & Analysing Jorge Sampaoli's ChileOctober 17, 2013
Welcome to this week's tactics board, where we discuss the pertinent, topical issues of the week in football using X's and O's.
We'll take a deep look at how, if at all, Aston Villa can grab something from their home encounter with Tottenham Hotspur and assess Jorge Sampaoli's electric Chile side ahead of their friendly with England in November and, of course, the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
Villa vs. Spurs: Blockades, Counters, Soldado & Size
Aston Villa resume their Premier League campaign following the international break with a difficult home tie with Tottenham Hotspur.
Spurs enter the contest on the back of a dismal 3-0 defeat to West Ham at White Hart Lane, while Villa have taken seven points from their last nine and recently upset Manchester City on home turf.
Despite the form differences, the gap in quality between the two sides stands as a chasm; Spurs are a star-studded outfit with £25 million players on the bench, while Paul Lambert's most expensive player is an injured £9 million Charles N'Zogbia.
To claim the Lilywhites' scalp Villa need to put a perfect plan together, and to do so they need to rely on Spurs shooting themselves in the foot—again.
As exciting as Andros Townsend has been, he's taking away Spurs' width by cutting in off the right at all times. Gylfi Sigurdsson reciprocates on the left, and it forces Andre Villas-Boas' side into a narrow 25-yard area in the centre of the pitch.
Kyle Walker's fitness was undoubtedly a key issue here, and his improved outlook could be the difference, but it's never healthy to play into your opponents' hands regardless of personnel.
Villa could feasibly setup in their usual 4-3-3 system, draft in Yacouba Sylla to level the physical battle and set up a blockade in the middle, daring Spurs to either go wide or beat a five-man wall outside the D of the penalty area.
Can Roberto Soldado beat Nathan Baker, Ciaran Clark or Ron Vlaar in the air? It'd have to be a rather excellent cross, that's for sure.
Lambert's side are a counterattacking outfit, and if they can hold on defensively, Andi Weimann and Gabby Agbonlahor can wreak havoc on the break. If Ravel Morrison can slice through this defensive line, Agbonlahor is going to have a field day.
But that all hinges on Villa keeping Spurs out, and their last encounter—4-0 to the away side at Villa Park in September—hardly paints the ideal picture. Both squads were much-changed, though, and Christian Benteke's potential return clouds the issue further.
Expect a close one on Sunday.
Sampaoli's Chile: Rising from the shadow of Marcelo Bielsa
Chile secured qualification to the 2014 FIFA World Cup on Tuesday night with a 2-1 victory over Ecuador in Santiago.
La Roja ended up third in the CONMEBOL table—just two points off a rampant Colombia outfit and four from a star-studded Argentine setup—despite opening the campaign with four wins and five losses.
The decisive factor? Replacing an underwhelming Claudio Borghi with Jorge Sampaoli midway through the qualifying process and reaping the rewards for making an inspired appointment.
The Argentine coach took over in December 2012 after leading Universidad de Chile to domestic and continental success, and he brings a Marcelo Bielsa-esque strand of tactics to the table.
Bielsa's methods are well-documented, and his approach lead la Roja to their first World Cup (2010) in 12 years. Not only did Chile win games under Bielsa, they won them in style; high pressing, incredible physical fitness, incisive attacks and vertical football were the hallmarks of their game.
Borghi drifted from the new requisite standard, played a deep defensive line and the side looked lost. Enter Sampaoli, a man able to rejuvenate a talented side with remarkable speed due to his belief in the foundations Bielsa had set.
Sampaoli, like Bielsa, shifts his formation between 4-3-3 and 3-4-3 depending on how many strikers the opposition manager fields—the spare-man principle.
They press high, the defensive line shifts up, they play with energy and use their incredible athletes to good effect. Gary Medel can only slot in at centre-back, as while his defensive qualities are useful, a deep-lying playmaker is favoured to exert control over the tempo of the game.
That man is Marcelo Diaz, and he makes the formation tick. He played under Sampaoli at "La U" before moving to Europe with Basel, and he is just one of a number of players who have been drafted in after working with the manager at club level.
If the play isn't flowing through Diaz, it's spearing down the right-hand side via physical marvels Mauricio Isla, Arturo Vidal and Alexis Sanchez. The left is a serviceable outlet too, but the right is too strong to ignore.
Sampaoli will always play with three forwards in order to begin pressing from the front and cover the majority of angles, but it's far from your average front line.
Jorge Valdivia, the previously exiled No. 10 under Borghi, has re-entered the scene in glorious form, and plays as the furthest-forward central player between two wide, pacey forwards.
It drops into a 4-3-3-0 in defence and has the ability to both confuse the defensive line and stifle the deeper midfield areas quickly and efficiently, creating turnovers in dangerous areas.
Bielsa lead Chile to the 2010 World Cup and unleashed his unique style upon the world. We gushed.
Sampaoli will do the same in 2014, and although his methods are Bielsa-esque, he is his own man with his own ideas. Tactically speaking, it doesn't get anymore exciting than Chile next summer.

'There is more to cricket and life'
For a man who was on the threshold of scoring 10000 runs in both forms of the game, Sachin Tendulkar looked remarkably subdued when he first came out to bat. Virender Sehwag had already brutalised the Pakistan attack, and was especially severe on Danish Kaneria, the bowler who posed the most problems for India in the first the first Test. The score was 156 for 1 from just 38.3 overs and the stage was perfectly set for Tendulkar to take full toll. And yet, he could not score off the first 18 balls he faced.
When he did get moving, though, it was a delectable cover-drive, crunched magnificently off the quick legspin of Shahid Afridi. A repeat of that shot came soon after, as if to prove the first was no freak occurrence, and then suddenly the shutters came down again. For a time it appeared that Tendulkar was fighting a tough battle, but not against Pakistan's bowlers, or even the conditions. It was the milestones that beckoned - the 10000th Test run, and the 35th Test hundred - that were creating confusion in his mind about how freely to bat.
Tendulkar insisted it was nothing of the sort. "It's not all about getting to 35 hundreds," he told reporters at the end of the day. "There is more to cricket and life than that. If I keep on thinking about it, it will never happen. I will go out and try as hard as I have been for the last 15 years, and if it happens, it will be a great feeling, for sure. My aim is to go out and score a hundred in each and every innings, but that doesn't happen all the time, does it?"
It certainly doesn't happen every time, and there are days when Tendulkar, for all his abundant gifts, has had to tough it out, buckle down and search for the runs. Today, as he neared the target of 27 needed to get to 10000 runs, the countdown began on the electronic scoreboard, and this set the crowd off, chearing and slow-hand-clapping. Bemused, Tendulkar walked up to Dravid. "There was a lot of noise and Sachin came to me and asked, `What's happening?' He knew basically that he was close to 10000, but not exactly how close," Dravid revealed at the end of the day. "I think he was at 9998 at that stage, and I told him, `2 more to go, but 15,000 is the real target'."
In that sense the Eden Gardens provided a fitting stage for a feat that would set Tendulkar alongside Allan Border, Sunil Gavaskar, Steve Waugh and Brian Lara in the 10000-club. "The Eden is a special spot. I'd have been very happy to have got 10,000 anywhere, but the crowd response here is quite different, so it was good to get it here," Tendulkar said, and displayed refreshing humility at being in that elite bracket. "They are all in a different league altogether, those names, and it's nice to join that club."
But, the greatest run-accumulator the game has seen since Sir Don Bradman did not see passing 10000 as an end in itself. "It's a reflection of the type of cricket I have played all these years," he said - and there was not a person in the room who could disagree. Perhaps there are a few who wish he would show more of his old self, the daring destroyer of attacks. And that may well come when the next milestone falls. For, after getting to 10000 runs, Tendulkar's range of strokes, even in his innings of 52, increased appreciably. The cut was aggressive and dominating once more, the drive booming, and importantly, the restrictive line from the legspinner outside the leg stump was not kicked away. It was paddle-swept so fine that the ball eventually ended up crossing the ropes closer to third man than fine-leg. That was a sign that Tendulkar was back in the hunt for runs, and not merely safeguarding his wicket till a milestone went by.

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter, JK Rowling does, anything you recognize does not belong to me.
A/N: This follows canon everywhere up until the epilogue, which in this story, never happened. The majority of this story takes place right after chapter thirty six in the Deathly Hallows.
***Chapter update Jan. 4 2013. The only thing I did was change the spell to Eto vse budet cheredovatʹsya***
It was a most beautiful day at Hogwarts. Looking down at the grounds, one could see groups of students studying by the lake, practicing quidditch, or just relaxing on the hillside. Most of the seventh years, however, were inside, studying for the upcoming NEWTS. One student in particular was studying quite profoundly in the Ravenclaw common room.
He was sitting at his favorite desk; the one right by the arched windows overlooking the grounds. He had books opened and his peacock feathered quill was scratching away on his parchment. On his chest sat the Head Boy badge. He had worked very hard to get it, and his parents were proud, he wouldn't disappoint them now. His hair was a very messy and curly brown, but if he kept it short enough, he could almost keep it tame. His eyes were quite the opposite; they were a clear, beautiful green.
He stopped his studies for a moment to look out the window. When he looked back at his table, he sighed and stood up. He walked over to the bookshelf on the other side of the room. His fingers were lightly brushing the delicate spines when he noticed it. His hand was no longer completely solid, instead it was slightly transparent. Not enough for someone to notice unless they were really paying attention. He took one last glance at his hand, and swiftly exited the common room.
He walked quickly through the corridors of the school, paying attention to nothing and no one. He reached his destination- the stone gargoyles leading up to the headmaster's office.
"Password." The one to the left said.
"I don't know it, but this is urgent. I must speak to the headmaster immediately!" The boy said.
"No entry without the password." The one to the right answered. The boy sighed.
"Fizzing whizbee." He said. Nothing happened. "Exploding snap, lemon drop, chocolate, ear wax, every flavor beans, harmony, time turner, magic, elf!" The boy said. The gargoyle on the left laughed.
"Nope." It said. The boy sighed angrily and before he ranted again, he thought. He was a Ravenclaw after all, he could figure it out. 'This is the twenty-fifth anniversary of Voldemort's demise.' He thought. He thought for a moment more before continuing.
"Horcrux." Nothing happened. "Hallows. Snake. Battle. Death!" Nothing. He sighed again. "MERLIN! OPEN THE BLOODY DOOR!" The stone gargoyles moved out of the way, revealing the staircase. The boy quickly ascended, and, without knocking, opened the door.
"Come in." He heard the headmaster say sarcastically. He wasted no time in explaining.
"Headmaster, it's happening; just like you said." The boy informed him while pushing up his sleeve. The headmaster leaned forward to inspect. He moved back in his chair and looked up at the boy.
"Ah... Yes it appears the time has come. You have been instructed in what must be done?" The headmaster asked, and the boy nodded. "Good, good. Now, it is important that you are not seen. Can you transform well?" Once again, the boy nodded. "Then we will not waste anymore time." The headmaster stood up and walked over to a drawer and pulled out two items. One was an old looking time turner; the other a galleon. He handed both objects to the boy. The boy placed the time turner around his neck, and kept the galleon in his hand. "You know the spell?"
"By heart." The boy said.
"Okay," the headmaster said. "You have one hour to place the time turner where she will find it and cast the spell. Are you ready, Mister Potter?"
"Yes." The boy said. "See you in an hour." The headmaster nodded and the galleon grew warm in his hand. He felt a tug at his stomach, and he was gone.
When he opened his eyes, he was in a dark closet. He heard lots of cheering and figured the Dark Lord had just been defeated. He opened the door a crack, closed his eyes, and concentrated hard on becoming a dog. He felt another tug and when he opened his eyes, he was a four-legged brown shaggy dog. He padded out of the closet and began his search. He knew already which room he needed to go to, it was just a matter of finding it that proved to be the problem.
He kept trotting when he saw an old woman with her back turned. 'Perfect.' He thought. All he needed to do was catch her scent and he could find her office. He barked and startled the woman.
"Oh, hello there little one." She said. He detected a slight Scottish accent. She outstretched a hand and he bounded over to her. He sniffed her hand, and, when satisfied he could remember her scent, he licked her hand. He was hated that part if being a dog. He had to act like one, and, unfortunately, that meant licking people's hands. He let her scratch his ear and, before bounding off again, he let out another bark. With his nose to the ground, he trotted through the corridors until he found the office of Minerva McGonagall. He quickly transformed into a human and entered.
He went straight for her desk and took off the old time turner. He laid it on the desk and pulled out his wand. It was an eleven and three-quarter larch wand with a dragon heartstring core. He pointed his wand at the time turner and recited the spell. "Eto vse budet cheredovatʹsya." A golden light slowly came from his wand and surrounded the time turner until the spell was eventually absorbed by it. He turned on his heel and transformed again into a dog.
He waited outside the office for about twenty minutes when he heard someone coming around the corner. It was who he was here for; a bushy-haired girl with brown eyes- Hermione Granger. He waited until she moved a little closer, and he started wagging his tail and letting out little barks. A smile broke out from her face and she came towards him, hand outstretched. Right before she could touch him, he swerved out of the way and turned into the office. She stayed where she was and he barked again, turning his head to the side. She stood and began to walk toward him, and he turned and ran back to the time turner. Confident she was following, he ran under the desk. She approached it and saw the time turner.
She picked it up and examined it. The dog slowly crept from behind the desk and into the shadows, where he turned human again. He pulled out his wand. Curious, Hermione turned the time turner once. Nothing happened that she knew if because, if it brought her back in time, she would surely hear the battle that ended only an hour ago. She shrugged her shoulders and put the time turner back onto the desk and turned to leave. The boy, still concealed in the shadows whispered, "Stupefy.", followed by an apology. When Hermione hit the ground, he walked toward her. He could feel the galleon in his pocket growing warmer, signaling that his hour was almost up.
He looked up at the shelf by where she had fallen. There were a few heavy looking books at the top. "Accio heavy books."He said, and they flew towards him. He bent down by Hermione's head and gently laid one half on her forehead and half on the ground, and then he laid the other two on the floor around her head. He needed it to look as if she got hit in the head and suffered from a small case of amnesia. The galleon was getting even hotter, and so he pulled it out of his pocket, quickly ran back to grab the time turner and waited. He felt the familiar pull and found himself back at the headmaster's office.
"Is it done?" The headmaster asked, and the boy nodded. "Good. Now we wait." The boy nodded and left the headmasters office.
He entered the common room and went up to his dorm. He went to his trunk and pulled out a pair of black gloves. He looked back down at his hand. It was still vaguely transparent, but that would hopefully be fixed if the plan worked. He pulled the gloves on, and went back down to the common room. No one had disturbed his table, and so he sat down and continued from where he left off.
A/N: So, watcha think? Any suggestions, comments, or even rude remarks are welcome :) The rest of the story will be in Hermione's POV as she will be the one in the alternate universe.
Till the next chapter! :D

On my eighth birthday, I remember slogging ass out of bed and down to the kitchen for a bit of toast before beginning the day's activities. A late riser as well, my father happened to be sitting at the counter as I toasted my bread.
Always one to poke fun at what a she-beast I am when I first wake up, my father boomed a loud, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY, REBECCA! PUT ON SOME GODDAMNED PANTS!"
Because I was eight, I rolled my eyes at him and grunted a monosyllabic "thanks" under my breath, hoping he'd shutthefuckup until I'd been awake for longer than 30 seconds.
"How's it feel to be THE BIG EIGHT?" he twinkled, obviously enjoying my annoyance.
I thought about it while I gnawed on my toast. Did I feel any differently? Were things different today than they were last night when I went to bed? Have I developed boobs and gotten my first apartment? Did Vanilla Ice finally get all the fanmail I'd sent? Will he finally show up in his wicked ride to pick me up from school? Did I win the Nobel Prize in Awesomeness for sleeping?
No. I was, give or take the bleariness I tried desperately to wipe out of my eyes, the exact same person I was 12 hours before. I shook my head no and scuttled back upstairs to put on some pants.
The "goddamned" was implied.
I feel the same about New Year's. I understand the need that some people feel to celebrate the ending of one year and the coming of the next the same way that I recognize that a monthly purge of my house makes me happy in the pants. I get it – it feels good to be rid of the baggage of the last year, or, erms, well, actual baggage.
If only it worked that way.
December 2012 was a dark, dark time for me. I don't mean that as a pithy country song, I mean it was so damn dark I couldn't tell my ass from my head. Days would pass before I'd speak to another person. I continued the job hunt that had consumed my life since July without any real hope I'd find something. Turns out, trying to eke out a career path after being out of work for so long isn't as simple as throwing together a resume and watching the offer letters pile up on my desk as I sat back and evaluated which Fortune 500 company I'd opt to become president of. I'd been making ends meet by freelancing and selling off any of my possessions that had value, but my nerves were shot each month as I cobbled together enough money to keep the electricity on.(PSA time!)
Hey kids! All of that bullshit your parents spewed in your general direction about learning to manage a household? Turns out – you kinda need to know it. And I'd made the cardinal mistake most married couples do – Dave and I had decided to divide and conquer. All of the things that he'd done for us? I never learned to do. And the converse.
I'd been managing for a few months, still sorta in that daze between what-fuck-just-happened? and this-is-my-fucking-life and once reality hit, I started to take stock of whether or not I actually needed to grace the earth with my presence. I'd try and come up with reasons that I should stick around for another year and usually came up short. Only reason I'm here typing this to you now, Pranksters, is because I knew that my kids needed me. And the thought that it would be days or weeks before anyone found me had my stomach heaving well before I'd realized that my cats would probably quite literally eat off part of my face before I was discovered as departed. No one wants to put that burden on another person.
I woke up January 1, 2013 and nothing had changed. Sure, I could've gone to bed and said, "Self, tomorrow, everything will be different! You won't wake up in a jolt of anxiety like your no-no square had just been tasered! You'll be gainfully employed! You'll be happy! All because YOU resolved to do it!"
I've been around this planet long enough to know one divine truth: The Universe has far bigger things to worry about than my resolutions.
But things did begin to turn around – slowly. By February 1, I was gainfully employed in a job I really enjoyed. I couldn't call myself happy, but I was too busy to notice the sad bits. The anxiety got worse before it got better. I quit that job and took another. And another.
And now I find myself gainfully employed at a job I love working downtown in the best city in the world (apologies, New York). I no longer wake with that squirming ball of anxiety rolling around my gut like the world's nastiest bowling ball – most days. I've learned how to keep the electricity on and my phone bill paid – most months. I no longer worry about someone discovering my half-eaten body. While I'm not always bouncing off the walls with glee (which is, quite frankly, a good thing – it'd be more likely than not to get me institutionalized), I can say that I'm happy.
That can all change tomorrow. I may go into work and find that my job has been given to someone overseas or find that my office has been converted into fancy lofts in Lincoln Park. I may have to go without food or electricity for a spell. Depression may rear its ugly, lying head and tell me what a total piece of shit I am for thinking happiness could happen to someone like me.
I don't know what tomorrow brings any more than the meteorologist on Fox News know what the weather will be like. Educated guesses. Life is a series of educated guesses.
Tonight, I can resolve to lose 395 pounds or wake up an heiress and still wake as, well, me – Your Aunt Becky. Life isn't about empty promises or a guarantee of a happier tomorrow. Good shit happens to bad people. Bad shit happens to good people. Shit happens, usually on some idle Tuesday in the middle of the month when you least expect it. You can rage against it all you want, but I'd surmise that nailing Jello to the wall would be easier.
Instead, I will go to bed tonight knowing that while I may not know what will happen tomorrow, it's another chance for me to make messes, get dirty, and have fun.
And that (NOT the Hokey Pokey) Pranksters, is what life is all about.
28 Responses to Another Year Over
I have read/followed you off and on for about 3-4 yrs.
I promise step by step, day by day it does get better, it does get easier. Those "feelings" will become memories giving the chance to sigh in relief and take another step even farther from them. I've been in that dark place and pulling for ya, you got this, so just dance through.
Just keep dancing! That's all any of us can do. When life throws a curveball, switch up the steps. *step ball change step ball change aaaannnnnd shuffle!*
Shit happens for sure. 2% of you is what happens to you. 98% is how you handle it. You, mah pantsless friend, are amazing! 🙂
And if the day comes that your office has been turned into apartments for people with really fancy pants, you know that you can get on the train and come see me and I will cook delicious things for you.
I love your voice and the guts you have to share. I nod my head and smile and laugh because you are obviously one helluva woman.
I've been in that dark place. It's terrifying. It sneaks up on you and won't let you out of its grasp. Sitting in silence and burying my head seemed like a good fix. Bastard ex moved us to a new state for a job he accepted but waited two months to tell me about. He left me four months after the move for his work sidekick with much larger breasts. Kids had college rearing its head not too far down the road. I didn't have a job because we had just moved. I had no friends. I had no support system. The fear of not having enough money to pay my bills and going months letting those bills go unpaid kept me awake each and every night. I feared my children would find out I'd failed them. The fear and shame I felt as I cashed in what little I had, going to pawn shops to sell baubles, taking a job cleaning other people's toilets because it was a cash offer, were overwhelming.
NY day 2014 marked the 10 year anniversary of when my ex told me he didn't love me anymore after 20 years of marriage. NY day 2014 I walked from my home in The Hague, Netherlands, to watch the crazy Dutch jump into 45 degree water for the North Sea Swim. I was with my second husband who asked me just a month into our marriage (Nov. 2012) if I wanted to be an expat for a few years. My kids are both college graduates and amazing people who make me proud. I have freelance job offers from friends in the States and live a life I never saw coming. The darkness fades. Our kids survive. We grow stronger and healthier. As my mother says, "And this too shall pass." I say, "My ex lives in Gallatin. I live in Europe." Please share your triumphs.
We woke up on New Years Day full of hope for the new year and a soaking wet carpet from a leaking pipe. Welcome to 2014, hope you have a few hundred dollars to spare! Which we don't. Because shit happens when you least expect it. So welcome to 2014 and some cold ass concrete flooring in the bedroom because we can't afford to replace the carpet right now. But we're rolling with it. Concrete flooring is all the rage on home improvement shows so we are trendy (and cold).
My new years thought, as I don't do resolutions, is that it might be good for me to find something positive in the negative when it happens. We'll see how it works.
Good luck this year, may all the good you hope for happen.
Kudos to you for keeping going when so many fold. Love you my friend and I'm glad you are back.
"You got to keep on rolling" – Crank it UP!
I really needed this today. The past year has been a huge roller coaster and I've been stuck at the bottom of the hill for quite awhile. Sometimes you just need to know that someone else understands what you've been going through. I look forward to each blog post and every tweet you write! You're a huge inspiration for me and I couldn't be happier that you're blogging again!
I have to admit I am hoping 2014 will be better than 2013… but you're right, so far it doesn't feel much different from last year!
**waves** Hi again AB. If the lessons weren't hard we would not learn them .

Calling media narratives into question is something that sits squarely inside "The Daily Show"'s wheelhouse, which is probably why Jon Stewart and company are far more trusted by the public than the rest of the media.
Will 'Rally To Restore Sanity' Reveal America's 'Silent Majority'?
The best news for the GOP this summer, Mr. Wehner says, is that "the issue set that is dominating the national debate is in the Republican wheelhouse, which is taxes and spending."
Beyond the wheelhouse was a spacious area with lounge chairs and a portable bar.
Many of you who have followed my esteemed career know that my wheelhouse is a diverse one, inclusive of my five principal "Ms": mustaches, monkeys, mullets, Mr. T, and midgets.
But I think there's a real substantive reform that McCain could offer that its completely in his wheelhouse, that is necessary, and that would prove he's a break from Bush.
It is a small gypsy style cart so it can't imagine it will be used for the 'wheelhouse'.
It was a 'wheelhouse' song, to be sure last week, but wheelhouse songs don't bring in new fans.
The next two races are right in Jimmie Johnson's wheelhouse, meaning those chasing him must try to keep up.
The CPAC crowd should be in Santorum's wheelhouse but the two-thirds full room suggests that his lack of star power could well hurt his attempts to gain traction in early states.
Taylor stood in the wheelhouse at the shoulder of Petty Officer Derrick Winters, who concentrated as he silently piloted the craft.
Wow. Isn't the phrase extreme conservatism, as used by Meghan McCain, something of an oxymoron? Along the lines of extreme moderation?
P.S. I hope they keep fighting like this. It's awfully entertaining.
"McCain had blogged about body issues during the campaign — "I've been surprised by critical comments regarding my weight and body shape. It recently reached a ridiculous level when someone handed me a business card for a plastic surgeon and suggested I needed liposuction�? — so Ingraham's jokes were, as the baseballers say, right in her wheelhouse.�?

Nikon UK are pleased to announce the introduction of the AF-S DX Nikkor 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5G ED lens, a Nikkor DX-format ultra-wide-angle zoom lens that boasts a focal range starting at 15mm equivalent in FX/35mm format.
At a very affordable price, this new lens offers a superior build quality making it a great addition to anyone's Nikon system. It is perfect for users wanting to shoot scenes that require a wide angle perspective effect such as in a small room, or for shooting architecture and landscapes.
Ludovic Drean, Product Manager for Lenses at Nikon Europe B.V says, "This great new lens is perfectly suited for Nikon D300 and D90 users and works very well with our other mid-class DSLRs too, including models without a built-in motor such as the D40 and the D60, for example. Its affordable price is no reflection on its superior quality, though, as its high-reproduction performance, minimum distortion and build quality are almost equivalent to those of the AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 12-24mm f/4G IF-ED."
Superior quality build and excellent reproduction capacity
The AF-S DX Nikkor 10-24mm F/3.5-4.5G ED offers a focal length between 10 to 24mm and a picture angle equivalent to a focal length of 15 to 36 mm in FX/35mm format. Thanks to its ring-type Silent Wave Motor (SWM), its autofocus is quiet and fast. Housed in a compact and lightweight body with Nikon's unique high-quality exterior design, the NIKKOR advanced build quality ensures smooth operation and durability. The optical system features ED glass and a-spherical lenses optimised for digital SLRs with an excellent capacity for accurate image reproduction, delivering high-resolution, high-contrast images whilst minimising chromatic aberration. Using the internal focusing (IF) system, the lens barrel length does not change whilst focusing, giving it a more durable build and allowing for the use of heavy attachments. The lens also has two focus modes – M (Manual) and Manual-priority auto (M/A). M/A mode enables a user to switch rapidly between autofocus and manual focus by merely rotating the focus ring even during AF operation. This allows precise focus adjustment without taking your eye off of the viewfinder.
|Focal length
|10-24 mm
|Max/min aperture
|f/3.5-4.5, f/22-29
|Lens construction
|14 elements in 9 groups (with two ED glassed and three aspherical lenses)

Trivial legislation isn't controversial. People don't care about trivial things. Some people have said that HB14 (Alaskan Malamute as Official State Dog) is trivial legislation and that the Senate is too busy with important work to deal with that bill now.
I have watched a number of Senate and House floor sessions over the last week. I know that non-controversial legislation can be dealt with in as little as four minutes on the floor.
If HB14 is trivial, then the members of the Senate Rules Committee should move the bill to the Senate floor for a vote. There are dozens of students, teachers and parents around the state who will appreciate the Senate's effort. Ask your Senator to please vote for the bill on the floor.
However, I believe that HB14 isn't trivial and is a little controversial. Alaskans love their dogs. We love the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race and our sled dogs. The students who began this legislative project started out thinking that the Husky was the obvious choice for State Dog. (The mascot of Polaris K-12 School is a wolf, not a husky nor a malamute.) During their study they learned the history of the Malamute within our state. The Malamute has been here a long time, has made a significant contribution to the state and its peoples, and can be used as a sled dog!
Because there are people who believe in both the Malamute and the Husky as State Dog, the issue deserves a few minutes of debate on the Senate floor. The bill, and the hundreds of hours of work of all those students and teachers, doesn't deserve to die in the Rules Committee.
Please urge the members of the Rules Committee to move this to the Senate floor for discussion. And if you see things our way, please tell your Senator you support HB14.
I wish the Representatives and Senators all the best for the rest of this legislative session.

Gone was the bulky boot he wore yesterday on his right foot. Gone, too, was any semblance of a limp. Rolle said it feels "a million times better than it did initially." He is not ready to jump back into practice, but looked healthy enough to take a few reps.
|Updated Power Rankings
We compile the Power Rankings after the first preseason games...

Coach Tom Coughlin suprised the team with a night off...
Standout players from practice
Giants.com names the Top five players who stood out...
Photos: Training Camp Practice
Rolle was injured during one-on-onon drill when he was covering tight end Bear Pascoe, with whom he got tangled. Although he initially feared the injury was serious, Rolle is certain he will be ready to play in the first regular season game on Sept. 8 in Dallas. He was told that coach Tom Coughlin hopes to have him back on the field next week.
"That's my goal," Rolle said. "I don't know what everyone else's expectations are, but if I can play I'm going to go. It doesn't matter if it's this week, doesn't matter if it's next week, doesn't matter if it's Week 1. I've never been the kind of guy that is going to milk an injury. If I can go, I'm going to go. If I can't go, if I'm going to hurt myself, or I'm not going to give the team my their best performance I can give them, I'm not going to go. Right now, like I said, it feels a million times better than it did initially. Just a lot of hard work at night. I'm just happy I'm as far along as I am now."
- *Coughlin canceled meetings last night and took the entire team to Manhattan for a night of bowling.
"That was a surprise for them last night," Coughlin said. "We've done it in the past. We've done different things. We've taken years where we haven't and we wanted to do it this year because we have so many new guys, so many young guys. We needed a little team building session and we thought that would be a good idea. It was a good idea.
"They had a good time last night. They enjoyed themselves. They were appreciative."
And how would the coach rate his bowling skills?
"Lousy at best," he said.
- *First-round draft Justin Pugh will make his debut Sunday night at home against Indianapolis. He missed the preseason opener in Pittsburgh last week while recovering from a concussion.
"I'm anxious to see him play against someone else and then evaluate how he does," Coughlin said. "He's had a week where he's played primarily on the left side, he's played on the right side, he's played on the left side. He's able to handle all of that and we look forward to seeing him play, period."
- *Wide receiver Louis Murphy had arguably his best practice of camp, highlighted by a leaping catch over Trumaine McBride to catch a David Carr pass…Cornerback Laron Scott picked up his third interception of camp...Tight ends Brandon Myers and Larry Donnell each made nice grabs…Aaron Ross and Jacquian Williams broke up passes in a red zone drill.
- *Cornerback Corey Webster returned to practice. Offensive lineman James Brewer (concussion) was in uniform, but didn't participate in team drills.
- *In addition to Rolle, players missing practice included defensive end Damontre Moore (shoulder); wide receivers Jerrel Jernigan (soreness) and Brandon Collins (hamstring); offensive lineman Chris DeGeare (ankle); safety Cooper Taylor (hamstring); and running back Da'Rel Scott (shoulder).
- Famed rock star, New Jersey native and fervent Giants fan Jon Bon Jovi watched practice.

I received some of my commit mails very late. It's possible you experienced that too. - if you are using the pserver authentication, it is possible that the commits reached the (slave) pserver CVS server a while after they were sent to the master CVS server. Either or both of the above may have caused the discrepancies you observed, but as I said, I am certain I did not make any change to the branch or tag after updating the online site (and I sent you mail after that). What this seems to show is that: * last minute changes, just before the release, should be avoided * there are apparent delays for the tags and commits to be propagated. So I propose that for the next releases, packages be made from the tarballs, which are the authoritative record of the release. I (or whoever takes care of the releases after me) will be sending mail to the list, saying that the code is stable and about to be released (or already released), and giving pointer to the tarballs. That should save everyone a lot of trouble. What do you think? Thanks, -- olivierReceived on Wednesday, 15 November 2006 15:01:09 UTC

November 28 1998
Castro Central Women's Prison
My mind crouches in the filth and darkness Mum. I imagine this to you, repeatedly, to keep madness away. There is no light and barely any water. I sit by the pipe, at the end of the cell, waiting for it to be turned on. My tongue bakes in my mouth. I have only been here for three breakfasts and, already, my thoughts chatter.
I pulled a guard off of Catalina; I saw his buttocks push above his trousers, the slick black of his hair. I heard her cry. I got hold of his rubber cane and whacked him across the shoulders. I have never seen a man's face so convulsed, convulsed with its own power. They can do anything to you here. Nobody sees.
I have learned a lot in the time I have been here Mum. You told me that perhaps now, un-weighted by Austen, I would start to learn – start to think – and I know you are right. In the weeks I spent in the shared cell, I listened to Catalina talk. She told me things that you just don't realize sitting about, drinking cocktails, in a hotel in Havana. She told me that, here in Cuba, in 1998, it is not possible to vote for a political party different to the one in power. And that, even as a school teacher, or as a patient visiting the doctor, you have a political file in your name. And it's one which assesses your conformity to the ruling power. People are frightened to speak in case they are imprisoned for 'enemy propaganda.'
She told me about 'El Bloqueo' – the blockade – which represents America's determination to end the crushing of human rights in Cuba, by blockading free movements of trade. As things stand, not even food, or medicines, or medical equipment, can enter the country from the States. Ships can still come, from other countries, to offload these things in Cuba, but they can't then call in at an American port for 180 days. And this must be why the water is cloudy, and swimming, with a life of its own. There just can't be enough tablets to purify it.
I was shocked to hear Mum, that thousands of Cuban citizens tried to leave the country – on boats and rafts – as recently as 1994. They couldn't leave by any other means because Cuba wants to keep its citizens in. Apparently, many of these 'balseros' died in the struggle to reach the shores of America. Their crafts were just too frail to contend with the sea. I hope none of this will be so in twenty years' time, say, in 2018. I hope the two countries will agree on some quota for migration by then.
Other than that, I keep hearing cries through the blocks of cement. A woman is crying the same thing, over and over again. She is crying, 'I'll cut, I'll cut, I'll cut . . ' She was here before me. I could hear sounds coming through faintly. I have heard about this too. These are the sounds of a woman gone mad, a woman who is cutting herself, and who may go unheard, until it is too late.
I don't think I'll be here much longer Mum. I am a British citizen still, after all. And we live in a democracy.
Hasta siempre

Mitt Romney may still be going strong in his presidential race, but he continues to struggle with getting Latino voters on his side. According to several political strategists, the presidential hopeful is looking to pick a Latino candidate to run as his vice president – with Senator Marco Rubio, New Mexico Governor Susana Martinez, and Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval in mind.
This year, nearly 22 million Latinos will be legally allowed to vote in the upcoming election, which means politicians have to improve their blueprint on issues that matter most to us including, jobs, education, and immigration.
Romney has already created strikes against gaining the Latino vote after calling out for illegal immigrants to leave the country and strongly opposing the DREAM Act, which would allow immigrants to continue their higher education in the U.S. and qualify for citizenship.
During his GOP debate in Las Vegas, Romney stated, "We're blessed to have an enormous number of highly qualified Hispanic Americans in the Republican Party and leadership right now." He added, "These members can form membership in our Cabinet, I believe, and potentially... some other positions as well."
So far Rubio has clarified that he will not run as the vice president nominee to MSNBC, although he did endorse Romney's political campaign. In addition, Martinez has refused to comment on the matter and Sandoval has also expressed disinterest in running for vice president.
Will you be more likely to vote for Romney if he has a Latino VP?

His take starts with a calm intro that is abruptly cut with a progressive synths and rolling bass line that has lasers running in the background and futuristic voices over it, no wonder his take is titled 'Future Remix'. The very breakdown of this track features leads from the original that blends so well within the futuristic theme giving it an interesting fusion of things.
