Deadline is Friday
Published 4:21 pm, Tuesday, December 13, 2011
The nomination and registration deadline for the Times Union first annual Capital Region Top Workplaces report is Friday. Employers can register their companies; employees and customers are also invited to make nominations.
Organizations must have at least 50 local employees to qualify. Private, public, nonprofit and government workplaces can take part.
A special Times Union publication will highlight Top Workplace companies in three categories: large, midsize and small. Other companies will be singled out for special recognition for other categories ranging from ethics to communication to work-life flexibility.
To determine winners, short employee surveys will be conducted in January by WorkplaceDynamics, our partner in this project. WorkplaceDynamics conducts surveys for 28 major news organizations across the country and surveyed more than 1 million employees last year alone.
The first employee to nominate a company that is named to the list will win a box of 12 mini cupcakes from Bettie's Cakes.
To make a nomination, go to http://www.timesunion.com/topworkplaces or call (518) 636-0132.
Results are scheduled to be published April 22.

While technically the UUID is all that might be needed to pass around we decided that asking people to do URI comparing is far more natural when talking about identifying Web endpoints. > All comments to the effect: the UUID alone is not sufficient, is > irrelevant etc, are rendered moot by point 3). Not really - since the RM spec says you must compare the full URI the UUID does, sort of, become a minor issue. It just becomes part of the uniqueness of the URI. My main point in trying to convey the irrelevance of the UUID is that you seemed to want to tie it to the applications somehow and that is totally wrong. You can not tie it any more or less to the application than you could with an EPR that points to www.ibm.com. Perhaps I was reading too much into your previous notes, but when you started to talk about the UUID being used to identify the Subscription it lead me down this path. > If the URI equals well-known constant A, suffixed by variable UUID, > then it is absolutely unnecessary to pass A, and only necessary to pass UUID. That's just a syntactical sugar kind of difference. > To put this another way: MakeConnection is not really an RM > mechanism, it is an application mechanism.

WSA could very well have defined this mechanism but it didn't. RM saw a critical need for it, no one was trying to address it, so... > Overall, I think the mental model "pass an EPR, and then receive > communication back to that EPR" does not match what is in the spec. > What the spec actually says is: send me a reply to this request > (where the reply may simply be a receipt ack). The correlation or > addressing is given by the transport response. (Which is why, > ultimately, the connection identifier/UUID, however carried, is > unnecessary: it is purely application context, which RM is giving > house room to.) To be honest you lost me :-) But I think I disagree. The RManonURI is not application context - it uniquely identifies an endpoint - just like most other URIs (anon/none being the most obvious exceptions). > B. "The UUID does not identify the subscription, it identifies the > stream of messages from producer to consumer". Actually the UUID > identifies a channel whose scope/ meaning is application-defined. It > is an app-level context. Creating more complicated application > examples doesn't clarify -- it just adds redundant detail. Disagree. If the same RManonURI were used across lots of different applications (which it can be) what does that do to your assertion that its application-defined? Again - is an EPR with www.ibm.com as its wsa:Address application defined when I pass that in on a Subscribe()? I don't think so. Its use, in terms of what messages will be sent to that EPR, is application defined - and RManonURI is no different. > C.

WSAW anon refers to "all response endpoint EPRs in a message" - this to me says it controls what can go into the wsa:ReplyTo EPR. And RM would like to put some other anon URI in there. > F.

Each and every MC invites a response. The > response may be empty (the ack alone). So what? By this "physical" > means (solicit message, solicit message, solicit message) we create > a logical stream of "message, message". It would be a lie to say we don't want messages to flow back on the wire as a result of a MC. But those messages are _NOT_ responses to MC - they are (and I'm a bit afraid to say this, but here goes) more like new one-way messages - in the same way that a message sent to a non-anon EPR is a new one-way message. The message flowing in the non-anon EPR case may be a request or a response message but it is carried over an HTTP request flow. MC is no different except the message is carried over an HTTP response flow. We are very careful to say that it is not a response to the MC because it isn't. Is it simply establishing a connection and providing some correlation data so the receiver knows who is at the other end of the connection. It is no different than the non-anon EPR case except the other side initiated the connection. Perhaps we haven't made this clear, but we never expect any application code to ever process the MC - this would typically be handled by the infrastructural layer (not required but typically). Maybe you didn't realize this and that's why you think the app gets involved. Just like the "resend until acked" part of RM doesn't typically impact the application, the use of MC doesn't either. > I. Example 1b. Where is the wsa:To? It defaults to the anonymous > URI, like wsa:ReplyTo. No need to state on the wire. Oh yea, I forgot WSA did that. No comment on that one :-) > J. Example 2b. How did ConnectionIdentifier get into the message? > Because the sender of the back-channel response read the MC element, > and found the sub-element ConnectionIdentiifier ... and reflected it > back. Just like reflecting back the sequence Identifier. You lost me because I don't understand how it go into the message before the MC arrived and I think that's critical. But I think its a tangential issue. > K. An RM header called Connection Identifier is no more a reference > parameter than sequence Identifier. The app needs to establish a > non-opaque context for the stream or relationship. This is analogous > to passing transaction context id explicitly in WS-Coordination Register. RM decided that creating a well-defined ref-p would be bad. > L. To must equal ReplyTo legal because this is a one-way. If [reply > endpoint] = none URI, then true. Thus far, [reply endpoint] was > defaulted to anon URI, so not true. But see response to Chris and > Paul re [reply endpoint] = none. One more time - the message sent because of a MC is not a response to MC. Any WSA headers in that message are defined by the application or the WSA processing rules - not by RM or the MC operation. This is no different than how any message gets its WSA headers.Received on Wednesday, 9 August 2006 18:46:01 UTC

Our middle child wants to become a billionare when she grows up. She must have overheard her dad talking about his golf trip to Ireland to celebrate his friend's 60th birthday/Father's Day. They plan to walk several courses and take caddys the first round. My husband sent me this transcript of their conversation under the heading of Funny Things Kids Say.
I have no idea how she has ascertained her hourly rate either but I was pleased to see that she is able to divide!
PickyKidPix: How much does a caddy make?
Her Dad: Around $50.
PickyKidPix: For how many hours?
Her Dad: About 5 hours.
PickyKidPix: 10 bucks an hour?? I need at least $100 because I charge $20 per hour. Read more…

One to One Physical Therapy is showing off its new quarters this Friday at 1807 N. Stevens.
The open house is scheduled for 4 p.m. to 8 p.m., said Deb Kristovich, One to One Physical Therapy's owner. The clinic previously was located in Old Town.
The new location is a remodeled building with larger gym and treatment areas and ample parking.
The Kristovich and her team will continue to serving physical therapy patients and expand services to people interested in working out in a "medically oriented gym" where they will have the guidance and supervision of educated health care professionals.
"There really are many people who want to join a gym," said Kristovich, "but are fearful to start because it's not safe or appropriate due to health, safety or confidence issues. We are really working hard to fill the void for this group, by assuring progress with carefully outlined and monitored programs."
Available programs range from fully independent exercise with light supervision to individualized sessions. Options include fall prevention, balance, sport specific performance training, hip and knee injury prevention, nutritional guidance and general health mentoring.
Kristovich has been a physical therapist in Tacoma for more than 20 years. She earned an athletic training certification from the University of Puget Sounds' Sports Medicine Program. Her team includes Alika Antone and Erik Waterland, who both earned doctorates in physical therapy at UPS.

A/N: Well well well…look what we have here! EPOV? I believe some of you asked for this, non? Now that we know a little bit about his past, I feel comfortable enough letting you into his mind. But only a little! Let's not get ahead of ourselves. I have thoughts for more EPOV chapters, but let's see how you like this one first.
Much love and thanks to my beta, Kerazy, as always. She makes sure my commas are always in the right place ;) Enjoy, loves!
Foul Territory
Chapter 1 EPOV
The sharp snap of Emmett's cleats hitting the floor beside me shocked me out of my trance. I was staring blankly at the back of my mahogany locker stall, trying my best to remember my objectives for the game today. My thoughts were elsewhere, which wasn't unusual. Not lately anyway.
We have a real shot at the championship this year if we could just stay focused for the rest of the season. I have a chance at having my best season to date if I could keep my head out of the clouds for more than one game. I sighed heavily and rubbed my face with my hands.
It had been six months since she left. Six months to the day. It was a relief that she was gone but being alone was the hard part. It had been two and a half months since I'd moved into my condo, lovingly designed and furnished by my mother and sister. It wasn't home yet but it was getting there. Better than sleeping on Alice's couch, that's for sure.
Although, having my own place again meant I was still alone. At least I had someone to talk to at Alice's, even if I had to listen to her and Jasper sometimes.
Some days I felt angry, some days I felt like a failure and some days I felt like complete shit. Today was different. Today I felt like things needed to start changing. Emmett and Rose were talking about having another kid, Jasper and Alice were planning their wedding and I was stuck in the past.
It was my turn to be happy again. She was happy again.
At least, that's what People Magazine had said when they showed her walking around Chicago with James Smith. Manwhore extrodinaire.
I heaved another large sigh and pulled my warm up jersey over my head. Enough. There had been a crisp bite to the air today when I left my condo to drive to the ballpark. The fog was supposed to come in tonight for the first time in a few days. I'd taken a deep lungful of it as I'd walked from my car into the park.
I pulled my cap over my hair and brushed the bill with my fingertips.
My turn.
I followed Jasper and Emmett out of the locker room and through the clubhouse to the dugout. I could hear the white noise of the stands over the tandem sounds of our cleats hitting the cement floor. The sound of the fans in their seats was comfortable and familiar. It was petty to use baseball as a coping mechanism but it meant more to me than most things. I could count on it more than I could count on anything else.
Besides my family.
Emmett and Jasper jogged down the first base line towards left field and I followed blindly, taking in the smell of grass, garlic fries and the bay. I let the comforting feel of my cleats sinking into the lawn calm my wandering thoughts. Our coach met us in left field to lead our stretches.
I lost myself in our sprints, pushing my legs to carry me across the outfield. I beat Jasper and Emmett by twenty feet, which wasn't saying much since Emmett ran about as fast as a lumbering bear.
AKA, faster than most but not fast enough.
I slapped his ass as I ran back towards left field.
When I finished my warm up routine, I wandered over to the low wall next to the bullpen to sign autographs. Interaction with the fans was an easy way to get my head back in the game. I liked talking to the kids and shaking hands with their dads. I liked knowing that my team was making people happy and that we were actually part of something bigger than playing games every day.
It was humbling.
"Your play last night was fantastic," a fan said as I signed my name on her offered baseball.
I grinned, "Thanks." I handed the baseball back to her and caught her excited smile. I could tell she was a fan. Her Giants hat was at least ten years old, frayed and faded. "Enjoy the game," I said with a nod. She thanked me and I bowed my head in return as I turned to face the next person along the wall.
For a moment, I wondered if Emmett had sucker punched me in the gut, or if Jasper had flung a pitch at my head. I froze, near paralyzed and I felt as though a fog had appeared all around me. It engulfed my body and the field behind me and there was nothing left but the girl before me. I couldn't see anything, hear anything or feel anything except for her.
What the fuck?
She was gaping at me, mouth bobbing, eyes wide, but I barely noticed. All I could see were her perfect, pink lips and her beautiful, warm chocolate eyes. She was plain, and yet she wasn't. The wisps of her mahogany hair whipped her cheeks and forehead in the wind and she batted them away uselessly, tiny hands caressing her face. I wanted to be closer to her, even if it was merely to see her better.
She was beautiful.
I heard a crack from a bat connecting with a ball at the plate and the fog evaporated at once. I felt the setting sun at the back of my neck and heard the lull of the crowd around me.
The fan with the baseball nudged the girl, obviously her friend, closer to the wall. She stumbled and I heard her knees make contact with the vinyl draped over the padding. "Um, I don't have anything for you to sign," she said. Her voice was small but it rang loudly in my ears.
She obviously wasn't a fan. Not that it mattered.
For her it didn't matter.
I felt oddly desperate to sign something for her, to leave something for her. Even if I never saw her again, I wanted a record somewhere that I'd met her. "Ticket?" I offered hopefully, suggesting the default autograph item.
She blinked, brown eyes still wide. "What?"
I could see the thin strip of cardboard sticking out of her back pocket. I made sure that was all I saw of her back…anything. "I'll sign your ticket."
That was a lie. I saw everything. Damn.
She followed my gaze and saw what I was referring to, then snapped back up and grabbed the ticket from her pocket. "Oh, ok." She handed me the slightly bent piece of paper and I nonchalantly eyed the seat number. Bleachers. Damn. I definitely wouldn't be able to spot her from there.
Well, that changed things. I needed to know something. Anything. Something to set her apart. Something for me to remember.
"What's your name?" I asked, attempting to sound as innocent and nonchalant as possible. I couldn't help the nervous swallow that followed as I waved the pen over her ticket, waiting. I tried not to look at her. I wanted to look at her.
She was so beautiful.
I chanced a look and had to bite my cheek to keep from chuckling. Her mouth was bobbing again, obviously at a loss. Good grief. Had she never met an athlete before?
Her friend was staring at her, scandalized and I bit back another laugh. When it was obvious the brown-eyed girl wasn't going to respond, her friend looked up at me with a withering look and said, "Bella."
All clichés aside, I couldn't think of anyone more deserving of the name Bella. I gave up trying to hide my smile and quickly signed the ticket with the Sharpie. "To Bella. Edward Cullen." Although my signature looked more like scribbles, at least her name was clear.
And now I knew her name.
I handed the ticket back to her, pretending not to acknowledge the sadness I felt at ending our contact. I wasn't ready to let Bella go. Not yet. "Enjoy the game, Bella," I said, hoping desperately for a reaction, but settling with the pleasant feeling in my gut as her name fell from my lips.
I liked saying her name. Probably a little too much.
"T-thanks," she replied, smiling back.
Aha, reaction. Victory!
I heard another smack from the bat and watched the noticeable surge of fans in the stands following the trajectory of the ball. I heard someone yell, "HEADS UP!" and swiveled my head to track down the ball dropping from the sky where we were standing. Most people moved out of the way, but Bella turned the opposite direction, falling into the masses of people. As she jerked to avoid them, her knees backed up against the low wall and with a shriek, she toppled backwards.
Her friend reached for her but she missed her hand and without even thinking, I took one step in her direction and gathered her in my arms.
It was like a bolt of electricity had shot up my body at our contact. I froze for a moment, shocked into stillness by her proximity. I could feel everything.
She was light, like a feather and warm against my fingers. She was bundled in layers and layers of jackets and sweatshirts but it was as though I could feel every bit of her. Both my hands were clamped around her upper arms, supporting her weight from my side of the field. It all happened so fast and yet I wished I had a reason to hold her longer.
That wasn't normal.
I had to let go of her.
Let go of her, Edward. Let go.
Let. Go!
I held back a sigh as I tipped her back upright and set her on her feet. She remained still, even as she stood on her own. I kept my hands on her for good measure.
Hah. Good measure. Nice one.
I bent my head low next to her ear to speak but was distracted by the scent of her hair at my cheek. Strawberries? Freesia? It was amazing. "Are you alright?" I managed finally, feeling selfish for putting her concern after my disgusting obsession with the scent of her hair.
She turned her head to meet my eye. Hers were wild and excited.
"I'm fine, thanks," she assured me and I was pleased that she didn't try to pull out of my grasp.
This was getting ridiculous. I needed to bring this down a level. I needed to make sure I was able to play in an hour. I released her arms. "You should bring a glove next time," I said lightly, adding a wink to the mix.
A wink? Are you fucking serious? What the hell was that?
She pursed her lips and looked like she was about to fire back when I noticed a pair of heavyset security guards behind her. One of them grabbed her arm roughly and my heart fell.
Oh shit.
By falling onto the field Bella had broken one of the main rules of the stadium. It was a zero tolerance policy. No fans on the field at any time.
They were speaking tersely to each other and I was too distracted to catch every word. Bella's voice was frantic as she gestured to her friend. Could I intervene? Was it a good idea? Was I sacrificing my manhood for intervening with a security guard?
Screw manhood, I was protecting Bella.
I'm done for.
"She was knocked over. It wasn't her fault."
Had I just said that out loud?
The guard's head snapped up. He was pissed. I didn't give a shit. "I'm sorry Mr. Cullen, you know the rules. There are liability issues and insurance policies. It's not my decision."
He's bored and is enjoying not dealing with drunk people. I crossed my arms over my chest.
Possibly flexing some muscle.
"It was an accident," I said, teeth clenched. "Just let her go, man."
We shared a tense glare for a moment or two before I saw his fingers release their grip on Bella's arm and he took a step backwards. I sighed in relief and watched as he lectured Bella on the etiquette of the stadium.
I heard my name being shouted and I turned toward the dugout. Emmett was gesturing to me. Practice was over. Time to suit up.
I wasn't done yet. We weren't done yet. She was in the bleachers, I wouldn't see her again. Possibly ever. I hadn't felt this way about someone since…
I hadn't felt like this about someone ever.
That had to mean something, right? I looked back over at Bella. She was nodding at the guard and looking like a scolded child. She was adorable. Emmett called my name again and I cursed under my breath. I took a step away, then another, jogged backwards for a few steps until I finally turned around fully and made my way to the dugout. I could feel the tension stretching between us and I didn't like it.
These things had a funny way of working themselves out. Right?
The feel of Bella's warm body between my fingers burned my skin like a tattoo.
They had to work out.
I looked back over my shoulder to see Bella staring after me. It took all my strength to keep from falling on my face. I smiled over my shoulder at her.
She smiled back and I knew.
I think I found my change.
Or maybe it had found me…
A/N: Don't forget how wonderful reviews are…just saying :) You guys always make my day with your reviews! Thanks so much for reading. Until next time!

GPS Tracking—What is Real Time?
The initials GPS means Global Positioning System. The technology today allows a person to track objects to find out exactly where they are anytime. Sometimes this wonderful technology will deliver the tracking information after the fact. This means that it is delayed information and is not current. If current information is being delivered while it is happening, it is referred to as real time GPS tracking. It is a very popular feature today when it is used with vehicles and cell phones. One drawback of tracking is that it is not always used in a legally. When this happens, it will sometime be the subject of controversy. While it is legal for you to use vehicle tracking to track your own vehicle or phone in many places it makes them illegal if you use the device to track things another person owns. For example, if a suspicious girlfriend attaches a tracking device to their boyfriend's she could be in trouble with the law.
In the past, the GPS tracking technology was not available to the public but instead it was used exclusively by the military. Today people have access to this technology for finding their way around a new city by car or by foot. It can also be used to track the movement and location of almost any object. The technology that is used in GPS tracking is satellite based and can track a GPS device that is placed on, under, or embedded in some type of object. The information that the satellites return is extremely detailed. To determine the altitude, longitude, and latitude of an object at a particular time, real time GPS tracking is use.
If your phone, for example, is using real time GPS tracking you can use the internet to monitor where your phone is. This technology can be used to track things anywhere in the world. Vehicles often use real time GPS tracking. Some of the things that you can use real time tracking for is to track the whereabouts of their car if they have loaned it to someone or has had it stolen. If you have a teenager who just got their license and is driving the family car alone for the first time the real time GPS tracking can let the parents know where their teenager is going and if they are driving safely. It is not just for small vehicle tracking but it can also be used by freight companies to monitor the movement of their trucks to see if they are where they should be at that particular time.

Manor House
PBS presents Manor House, a gripping new series which brings class to reality television. Nineteen volunteers from the modern world find that life of a grand country house in the early 20th century is plagued by all-too familiar themes: money, power and position.
Taking Manderston (an authentic Edwardian pleasure palace in the Scottish Borders), a family of five and a newly formed staff of 14 - this six-part series turns back the clock to re-create life as it was for the new rich and their servants during the halcyon period in British social history before the First World War. Everything is quintessentially British: a magnificent house and boating lake, model dairy and tea room, croquet and tennis in the garden, a stable full of horses and carriages - and a group of people utterly divided and ruled by class.
The People
Our modern family upstairs, the Olliff-Coopers, have been taken away from the stresses and strains of modern life to a world where everything is done for them. Attending to their every whim and desire is a team of 14 staff who will do everything for them from picking up clothes to brushing down horses.
All the staff downstairs are volunteers with no experience of working as a servant in a 'big house'. The butler and the housekeeper have been given some training in their duties and it is their responsibility to turn their fellow recruits into a crack team of country house servants: an efficient, discreet and respectful machine.
For three months, the household functions as it would have done in pre-First World War England. Every participant in the experiment has agreed not just to live with Edwardian technology, but to abide by Edwardian standards of behaviour and to adapt to a complicated set of rules that governs everything in their daily lives.
The House Hierarchy
Overarching these rules is an intricate pecking order, which firmly places everybody in the house in a set social position and decides every aspect of life - who can initiate conversation, who has pudding at lunch, who can have a bath and when. The hierarchy is all-important amongst the servants, but it is most obvious in the division between family and staff. Everyone from the maid in the scullery to the master in the study will act in a fashion appropriate to his or her status.
How will each of the 21st century volunteers react to a social structure where there is a place for everyone and everyone knows their place?

Music Creation Software Has Turned the Tables: Make Your Own Dubstep (or any other style of music) ...
Long gone are the days where you needed a top-tier producer or beat creator in order to create top-notch music. With the latest advancements in home studio and recording software, you can make your own beats (with studio-quality results) using nothing but the software and your laptop.
I just used "make your own dubstep" in the title because in addition to being one of the more popular styles of "new" music these days, it's also one that people assume would be very difficult to create on their own. With all the swirling synths, bass drops, skittering beats and other fancy-sounding tricks, that must require thousands of dollars worth of state-of-the-art equipment and years of studio experience, right?
Nope. Believe it or not, most of that stuff can be done with just an inexpensive software program and the computer you already own. To get that tactile element that allows you to really feel what you're creating, you might want to invest in a cheap (as in, under $100) controller - just something with the basic accoutrements like a pitch bend, modulation wheel, and possibly some velocity-sensitive pads; but even that isn't necessary to create some really killer tunes, if you have the right software program.
To learn more about the software program most recommended for people wanting to create their own music without the expense and hassle of the traditional studio process, visit http://www.beatcreatorproduction.com, and find all the answers you need.

Search - means to look for records, manually or by automated means, for the purpose of locating those records which are potentially responsive to a request.
* In evaluating the adequacy of an agency's search for records responsive to a FOIA request, the "issue is not whether any further documents might conceivably exist but rather whether the government's search for responsive documents was adequate." Weisberg v. United States Dep't of Justice, 705 F.2d 1344, 1351 (D.C. Cir. 1983). An agency "cannot limit its search to only one or more places if there are additional sources that are likely to turn up the information requested." Valencia-Lucena v. United States Coast Guard, FOAI/PA , 180 F.3d 321, 326 (D.C. Cir. 1999).

Steve Brand: Children of Alcyone
Seren Ffordd: Stellar Nurseries
Mystified: Primal Mystification
Viridian Sun: Infinite in All Directions
Four new releases from the Hypnos camp, three of them very much in the tradition' and the fourth a surprisingly noisier recording. Regardless of individual differences, they're all quality releases, much as we've come to expect from the label.
Let's start with the earliest of the four, Seren Ffordd's Stellar Nurseries, which is actually a reissue of a 2004 release (the first in a planned series of recordings previously issued on Umbra and Penumbra, Italy-based labels managed by Oophoi) he created using a Korg 016 and a Yamaha PSR 262 keyboard. It's an hour-long, single-movement work that the Wales-based Ffordd splits into four figurative sections: Out of the Void, Storm Movement, Spiral Dance, and Floating, Dreaming. By way of context, the artist's notes describe huge, drifting clouds of molecular gases that turn star-like, then gradually increase in heat and movement until ignition occurs, after which lighter and heavier elements are pushed and pulled by gravitational forces until planets form. There's a suspended and drifting quality to the material, with cloud-like washes and tones extending for minutes at a time like massive exhalations taking place thousands of kilometres above the earth or perhaps nebulae coming into focus in slow-motion. Shifts in emphasis alternate between the rumbling lower to ascendent higher tones, and wave-like surges in intensity occur too, lending the material an industrial character in the process. An undercurrent of controlled aggression and pressure dominates the first half, until an abrupt termination strips the material down to a sole, organ-like nucleus around which synthetic tones languorously congregate as the sound mass thickens. In contrast to the first, the mood of the second half is lambent, serene, and melancholy, rather requiem-like in spirit as if in mourning for the death of a star. Ultimately, the programmatic connections between the section titles and the work itself are easily drawn in Ffordd's beautifully sustained meditation.
A supra-terrestrial theme also runs through Children of Alcyone, the second release by Steve Brand (who's also issued recordings under the Augur name) to appear on Hypnos Secret Sounds. The inspiration for the work came from the writings of Barbara Marciniak whose books supposedly channel information from the Pleiadians, distant ancestors of ours from the Pleiades constellation (Alcyone, incidentally, the name of the constellation's central sun'). Initial sound sketches for the recording were produced in September 2007 during a master class taught by Steve Roach and were refined subsequent to it at Brand's studio. The material on Children of Alcyone is minimal, even simple, by design but is alluring nonetheless. Lonely tones whistle to one another across immense expanses, and a melancholy spirit shadows the four calming meditations. A brooding epic of long tones and ringing percussive flourishes, Outside the Grid of Time forcefully draws the listener into its murky depths, but the recording's coup de grace is the stirring Light Age where minimal synthetic tones unfurl gracefully for an entrancing twenty-three minutes. Showing a deft and pitch-perfect touch, Brand skilfully weaves the elements into hypnotic form, never hurrying the material along nor slowing it down too much either. The result is that rare thing: ambient music that's both artful and moving.
The fifty-minute Primal Mystification is the first release by Mystified (aka US ambient-electronic musician Thomas Park) to appear on Hypnos Secret Sounds. Park is no novice, as he's collaborated with artists such as Nunc Stans (One Thousand Dreams, Dataobscura), Robin Storey (Rapoon), and Nigel Ayers (Nocturnal Emissions). The four tracks on Primal Mystification are restrained in character and induce a state of calm in the listenerwhich isn't to suggest they're uneventful, as there's lots of activity and detail on display. Likening the mercurial drone sounds to the emergence of human beings from the primordial ooze,' Park shapes minimal elements (some of it created from field recordings) into ten-minute-plus settings of placid design using ringing ambient washes, willowy synthetics, elemental percussive patterns, and simple melodic phrases voiced by piano. In Massive Turning, elegant piano playing drapes itself across long-form droning tones anchored by a gently swinging rhythm track made up of acoustic-sounding percussive elements (hand drums, bells). Departing Certainty exudes a ghostly, even tribal quality in its crystalline swirls and cavernous rumble, while both Not Knowing Where, its nocturnal whistling tones animated by a midtempo rhythm track, and Back to the Primal, its ethereal shimmer augmented by Eastern-sounding percussive pulsations, are energized by comparison.
The relative wild card of the four, Viridian Sun's Infinite In All Directions is a different animal altogether. The group itself is a joint venture into abstract improvisation involving Hypnos founder Mike Griffin and Hypnos solo artist David Tollefson, whose last Viridian Sun album, Perihelion, appeared a decade ago. Eschewing synthesizers, Griffin and Tollefson build the album's seven tracks from electronically treated and looped guitars, basses, and percussion. On the surface, there's not a radical degree of difference between Viridian Sun and the other artists in terms of soundtones stretch out as extensively on Infinite In All Directions as they do on the other recordings, and Griffin and Tollefson also shape their base elements into sustained dronesbut in a number of pieces the elements themselves are often harder-edged and swell to more extreme levels of intensity and aggression (check out the industrial guitar squalls that blow through 40 Hz Emergence as an examplein a way that's a tad reminiscent of Steve Reich's Electric Counterpoint too). The material also often exudes a trippy character that verges on psychedelic or phantasmagoric. At certain moments, for example, Four Times I Slept For A Year becomes an almost kosmische musik-like exercise when cycling elements pulsate to psychotropic effect. Elsewhere, sheets of metallic sound surge during Magnetars Cast No Shadow, and phantom guitar drones spiral through Light Years From Here. The rawness of Viridian Sun's attack may give Infinite In All Directions a visceral edge over the three other recordings, but again it's all quality stuff that more than enhances Hypnos's reputation for distinguished soundscaping.

There is a running joke among the staff in the operation theatre (where I spend 90% of my time and hence have more friends!) that I spend more time in the train than in the hospital! While that is not strictly accurate, I realise that in the last year, I have done far more travelling than I would have liked to or expected. And it's been fun - for the most part. Of course, travelling by Indian Railways is always an experience, especially in the heat of summer. I am still recovering from the amount of fluid, salt and energy that was melted off me in the last 24 hours! But the joys of reaching my destination very soon cause whatever discomfort I may have felt on the way to recede into the recesses of my mind, where it remains, if at all, merely a distant memory. And this time is no different. Seeing my brother and his wife is of course my greatest pleasure and the reason for the trip. But in Orissa there is much more. Meeting old friends from Bisamcuttack, the mission hospital where my brother is working and where I spent 10 days some years ago, as part of a trip with medical students from Vellore, is another great joy. And while Meghalaya has blessed me greatly with its beauty, Orissa is no different. The engaging beauty of the flowing green plains surrounded by the majestic, yet brooding hills fills my soul with peace and pleasure as it dances to the beautiful melody of nature. No tiredness can remain when confronted by such energising beauty. Every time I travel, I am amazed at the beauty of this great land - every corner has something different and unique that thrills my soul and makes all the effort worthwhile.
And in Orissa, there is another dimension to this beauty. There is the knowledge that hidden behind the beauty of God's creation is the sad story of man's destructive intervention. A story of greed, exploitation and selfishness that have been the trademarks of human involvement throughout the centuries. In more 'advanced' places, these stories are sweetened and diluted by many sops that masquerade as 'reservation'. But here and in many such places in our country, the stark truth is clear to see by anyone who desires to look. Poverty in the extreme, basic health problems of the highest magnitude, illiteracy and starvation are all facts of life here. They are all just below the surface and if your eyes are even half open, you cannot miss them. The all-too-familiar tale of honest, innocent people being hoodwinked and exploited by the 'educated' outsiders. Not to mention the beautiful land (and many of its inhabitants) being despoiled in the name of 'development'.
Much has been said about this in many fora and I will say no more here. But I will salute my friends who work in this area of extreme need. Where even basic health care is unavailable at any other centre for a radius of 300 kilometers. Where every day, they work long hours to care for people who would otherwise have died. Literally. Where the community health department has made a significant difference in the lives of the local people by innovative and community-driven endeavours. And where, inspite of all the stress of a busy life, there is great fufillment and peace for all involved in the work. A fact that is written clearly on all the faces and is easy to read by someone from outside, like me. I salute the men and women thoughout this nation who have made what the rest of us would consider 'sacrifices' in order to lend a helping hand to down-trodden people whom the rest of the world tries to forget. And pray that there will be more like them who are willing to tread the road less travelled and be the change this country needs.
P.S. As Amy has our camera, I have 'borrowed' some pictures from Dr. Viju John, a paediatric surgeon who works in another hospital near here - Asha Kiran Hospital in Lamptaput.

Joan Collins, OBE (born May 23, 1933), is an critically acclaimed veteran British actress, author, and columnist.
Joan Collins Early life
Joan was born Joan Henrietta Collins in Paddington, London, England, the daughter of Elsa (née Bessant), a dance teacher and nightclub hostess, and Joseph William Collins, an agent whose clients would later include Shirley Bassey, The Beatles and Tom Jones. Collins's South African-born father was Jewish and her British mother was Anglican. She has one sister, the author Jackie Collins, and a brother, Bill Collins. Collins was educated at the Francis Holland School and then trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA).
Collins' childhood was spent in and around Maida Vale and was, according to Collins, an idyllic one with plenty of love, comfort and security. Her father, however, was also a strict disciplinarian and exerted a strong hold over her gentle mother, an attitude which came to irritate her daughters who sought to rebel against it. Collins has said of her father that "He was detached, cold, hard, critical, difficult, acerbic and everyone had to please him." He said himself in his 1986 autobiography, A Touch of Collins: "I love my daughters but I am not the kind of parent who deludes himself that his children are superior to everyone else's. I did not think of them as particularly outstanding in any way."
Joan Collins Early Career
In 1951, eighteen-year old Joan made her feature debut as a beauty contest entrant in Lady Godiva Rides Again and in 1952 she starred in the film I Believe in You based on the book Court Circular by Sewell Stokes. She was next signed by 20th Century Fox in 1954 as their answer to MGM's Elizabeth Taylor. According to a September 11, 1954 article in Picture Post, Collins was frustrated by her time at Rank. Collins told the popular Hulton Press Weekly, "They're always carrying on about there being no women of star material in England. They don't bother to build us up. They concentrate on building the men." She appeared in Island in the Sun (1957).
Collins was popular as a magazine pin-up in the UK throughout the 1950s and into the 1960s, with cover appearances on titles such as Span and 66.
Her notable guest appearances on American television during the 1960s included Batman, Mission: Impossible, Police Woman, and the Star Trek episode "The City on the Edge of Forever."
In the 1970s, Collins made several movies and then starred in the film versions of her sister Jackie Collins' racy novels The Stud and The Bitch. The films were smash hits in England, becoming the most profitable films since the James Bond series. Collins has worked with some of the biggest names and movie legends in Hollywood, including Richard Burton, Bing Crosby, Bette Davis, Kirk Douglas, Gene Kelly, Laurence Harvey, Bob Hope, James Mason, Robert Mitchum, Paul Newman, Gregory Peck, Sir Laurence Olivier, Edward G. Robinson, Sir Ralph Richardson, Rod Steiger, James Stewart, Joanne Woodward, Jayne Mansfield, Sir John Gielgud and Sir Nigel Hawthorne.
Dynasty TV series (1981-1989)
In 1981, Joan was offered a role in the then-fledling new prime time ABC-TV soap opera series Dynasty playing Alexis, the vengeful ex-wife of tycoon Blake Carrington (John Forsythe). The role successfully relaunched Collins as a powerful sex symbol and icon of independence. Her performance is generally credited as one factor in the fledgling show's subsequent rise in the Nielsen Ratings to a hit rivaling Dallas.
In 1985, Dynasty was the #1 show in the U.S., and Collins also went on to become the highest-paid actress on television at the time, and remained with the series until its 1989 cancellation. As Alexis, Collins was nominated six times for a Golden Globe Award (every year from 1982 to 1987), winning once in 1983. Delighting the audience in attendance at the ceremony, Joan thanked Sophia Loren for turning down the part of Alexis. She arguably became the most celebrated television star of the 1980s and her character, Alexis, perhaps the most infamous clotheshorse and villainess of the decade.[citation needed] Dynasty was shown in more than 80 countries and is still internationally syndicated.[citation needed] TV Guide selected Collins' portrayal of Alexis as the fourth greatest villain in television history.
In 1983, Collins starred in Making of a Male Model with young model-actor Jon-Erik Hexum, and in 1984 played a soap star in The Cartier Affair with David Hasselhoff. With Dynasty at the height of its success, Collins began producing and starred in two 1986 CBS miniseries, Sins and Monte Carlo.She also appeared on the cover of and in a twelve-page layout shot by George Hurrell for Playboy magazine at the age of 49, and was often referred to as "the world's No.1 sex symbol" and "the most beautiful woman on Television."
E! True Hollywood Story (2001)
In the 2001 E! True Hollywood Story episode featuring Dynasty, former ABC executive Ted Harbert stated, "The truth is we didn't really believe that we had this thing done as a hit until Joan Collins walked down that courtroom aisle." Co-star Al Corley noted that Collins "just flew" in the role that was "tailor made...just spot on." In Dynasty producer Aaron Spelling's final press interview he said of Collins: "We didn't write Joan Collins. She played Joan Collins. Am I right? We wrote a character, but the character could have been played by 50 people and 49 of them would have failed. She made it work."
1990's career highlights
After ABC-TV's cancellation of Dynasty in 1989, Collins took time off to be with her family. She rejoined her costars for Dynasty: The Reunion, a 1991 miniseries that concluded the series, left with a cliffhanger ending with its abrupt cancellation. In the 1990s Collins made several guest star appearances on series such as Roseanne, The Nanny and Will & Grace while dabbling in films like Decadence and A Midwinter's Tale. She also appeared as the main characters of films such as Mama's Back and Annie: A Royal Adventure! during this period. In 1994, She launched her first and the only exercise video, titled as Joan Collins Personal Workout at the age of 60.
In 1990, Collins played Amanda in a revival of Noël Coward's Private Lives in the West end. In 1991, Collins appeared in Noël Coward's Tonight at 8:30 and played eight different women in a series of one-act plays written by Noël Coward, including an elderly Victorian spinster. In 1992, Collins made her Broadway debut in an adaptation of Coward's Private Lives. She also guest starred in six episodes of Aaron Spelling's prime time soap opera Pacific Palisades in 1997. Collins was chosen as the cover model for the relaunch of the popular celebrity magazine OK! when it changed from being a monthly to a weekly. In the spring of 2000, she completed an American tour of Love Letters with the likes of George Hamilton and Stacey Keach. Additionally, she appeared in a West End production of Over the Moon with Frank Langella in 2000.
In 1999, Collins was casted in the video version of musical theatre show Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. She played two roles in this video: a pianist and Mrs. Potiphar, the wife of Egyptian millionaire Potiphar.
2000's career highlights-present
In 2000, Collins joined the cast of hollywood film The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas, prequel of the 1994 Universal Studios film The Flintstones. She played the supporting role Pearl Slaghoople.
In 2001 Collins starred in TV movie These Old Broads with Debbie Reynolds, Shirley MacLaine and Elizabeth Taylor.
In 2002 Collins appeared in a limited run on the American daytime soap opera Guiding Light. She also appeared on South African television, depicting the role of South African journalist Jani Allan in a comedic spoof. In 2004, she appeared on a Dutch comedy film Alice in Glamourland (Dutch: Ellis in Glamourland) as a successful writer. Several Months later, she toured the United Kingdom with a revival of the play Full Circle. In 2005 she served as guest host of the popular British quiz show Have I Got News For You.
In 2005, actress Alice Krige portrayed Collins in Dynasty: The Making of a Guilty Pleasure, a fictionalized television movie based on the creation and behind the scenes production of Dynasty.
In early 2006, Collins toured the United Kingdom in A Evening With Joan Collins, a one-woman show in which she detailed the highs and lows of her roller coaster career and life, directed by her husband Percy Gibson. In late 2006 she began a tour of North America in the play Legends! with former Dynasty co-star Linda Evans, which concluded in May 2007 after a 30-week, multi-city tour. Collins wrote about her experience on the road with the show in her column in the U.K. Daily Mail; the article was entitled, "Why I'll Never Work With Linda Evans Again."
Collins joined the cast of the hit British television series Footballer's Wives for a limited run as a glamorous magazine mogul, named Eva de Wolffe. She also guest-starred in the BBC series Hotel Babylon in 2006 as a lonely aristocrat desperate for romance.
Collins will appear in an hour-long episode ("They Do It with Mirrors") of the murder-mystery drama Marple in 2009. She'll play Ruth Van Rydock, an old friend of detective Miss Marple.
Joan Collins Personal life
Collins married Irish actor Maxwell Reed on 24 May 24, 1952, and the couple divorced in 1956. She next dated Sydney Chaplin, son of Charlie Chaplin, and later Arthur Loew, Jr. At 26, she embarked on a serious affair with an as-then-unknown Warren Beatty, four years her junior, which would last for two years. They became engaged, Collins being the only woman to whom Beatty would ever propose until Annette Bening in the early 1990s.
Collins married award-winning singer, actor and film composer Anthony Newley on 27 May 1963. She and Newley had two children, a daughter Tara Cynara Newley and a son, Alexander Anthony "Sacha" Newley. Collins and Newley divorced in 1970.
In March 1972 Collins married her third husband Ron Kass who had been the president of Apple Records during the reign of The Beatles. During their marriage Collins had her third and final child, a daughter, Katyana Kennedy "Katie" Kass. In 1980 Katy was struck by a car in a country lane and even though it was being driven carefully at only 27mph she went into a coma. Collins and her husband bought a trailer and parked it in the hospital parking lot in order to sit beside their daughter day and night. Katyana emerged from her coma a few months later, although it would take years for her to fully recover.
Collins' marriage to Kass ended in divorce in 1983, although they remained very close until his death from cancer in 1986. At the height of Dynasty's popularity on 3 November 1985, Collins married Swedish singer Peter Holm in a ceremony in Las Vegas. They were divorced on 25 August 1987, with the lengthy divorce proceedings garnering significant media attention. Collins left Los Angeles and returned to London where she lived with art dealer Robin Hurlstone for over a decade.
In 2001, Collins met theatrical company manager Percy Gibson, a man 32 years her junior. They married on 17 February 2002 at Claridge's Hotel in London. They have now renewed their vows 8 years after they married.

Author has written 4 stories for Incarceron series, Secret Circle, and Wrestling.
Howdy ya'll! My name is OrchidI007711 and welcome to my page:)
I love writing, when I have the time, making up poems, stories, songs, etc.
I love dancing, when I want to get moving, and tear a dance floor up.
I love music, when I want to hear something fresh, original, unique.
I love reading, when someone has puts forth their own creativity and imagination for many to see!
"When the music is blasting and your alone at home, cleaning the kitchen the broom becomes a microphone!"
*At 11:11 make a wish*
The one thing that I continuously learn is when your willing to make positive changes in life, some how the world changes with you.In Life there are struggles we face on a day to day basis, that's just what comes with the package.If we as people are not willing to make a change from the struggles we face, then how do we move on? How do we become wiser or better? How do we become more stronger or compassionate towards others,but most of all ourselves? We can't bitch or complain if we never tried, we can't even say," F*CK IT!" If we haven't lived life and choose to sit there while it passes us by. Sometimes in order to experience , 'The Phenomenal' or beat 'The Inevitable,' we have start by what we see in that reflection that stares right back at us.
Change(a positive change) sounds like the most hardest thing to come by, but it's actually the most simple thing to do!
If you write 'em, I read 'em!

Recently I reviewed an app called Twabbit, an advanced Twitter client which gave the user a mass array of different settings and options — definitely not the simplest of apps. However, today I'll be looking at Rowi, a Twitter client which is far simpler, but, still possesses the features necessary for a solid replacement.
Rowi, similar to Twabbit, is £1.29 for the full version. This means there isn't any difference in price between the two. However, while Rowi may appear basic first this app can just about bring enjoyment to anyone. Read on to find out more!
Understanding Rowi
Going into Rowi you'll notice that this app isn't anything widely different from your original Twitter client. You have your basic timeline showing all of your followings' tweets. The changes start to begin when you tap on a specific tweet, on your normal Twitter you'll be taken to a separate page where you can see the Tweet by its self, or favorite and retweet. However, Rowi offers something a bit different.
Tapping on the Tweet brings up a bar with a range of options which you can scroll back and forth to each one. The options here are standard: view (the Tweet by itself), reply, retweet, go to, favorite, profile and unread. I feel this little toolbar really adds to the user experience, being very simple and unique this bar will really attract users who like to respond quickly to their updates.
Swiping to the right you're taken to "Mentions", so far I've noticed nothing different here. The final of the three bars is "Messages" this is again very similar — you will need to authorize your account before you can use this feature. For this you only need to log in and then record a seven digit code to type in on the app.
Rowi is very minimalistic from the onset and in the next section we'll talk about how this can be adapted.
Organising Your Homesreen And Settings
Going to your setting at the top and clicking "Configure Your Home Screen" you have a lot more options at your disposal. The first thing you'll see is that you can move the position of your timeline, mentions, and the messages bar, or even delete them. Then going to the "+" at the bottom you soon see this app isn't as simple as what first seemed. Here you have six different tabs which you can add to your start screen.
These include: "tweet search", "another user's timeline", "your favourites", "your tweets, retweeted", "retweets by you" and "retweets by others." These are some of the options which are necessary for some Twitter users and adding them will be a necessary move. However, there's one feature here which really swept me off my feet and this is the "another users timeline" option. This allows me to pick my favourite Tweeter's and move all their tweets onto a separate page for viewing quick. So far I have set up five people's timelines and this makes my Twitter experience just that bit easier.
Once you've sorted out your home screen you can now go into settings and customise some more. The first option you'll come to is the opportunity to use "Tweet Marker" an app which records where you last refreshed. So next time you use a different device you will automatically start reading from that point. You also have a range of different changes which you can make in the settings. These include, the size of text, reversing tweets new to old and the chance to manually mark the Tweets as they are read. There are also options to sync with Instapaper, Readability and Pocket, helping you to read easier.
Simplicity is Bliss
Now what started off as quite a simple application can soon become something which is changeable to the highest degree, giving users the choice to how their app is set up. This is a format which will suit many users who find that the basic Twitter application doesn't give them enough room to maneuver. This is what is unique about nearly every Twitter client, they allow you to make everything right for your needs, although, some do this a lot better than others.
Benefits Of The Full Version
The first thing I should mention is that Rowi can either be free or £1.29 and you'll be able to use the app basically the same way. This is because the additional extras will be pointless and not needed for some users. The first thing Rowi (full) does is that all the annoying advertisements at the top of the page will go — making your Twitter experience a bit more enjoyable. The second is that you'll be able to receive push notifications when you receive mentions and messages — this is definitely a nice extra for some people.
As you can see there are no massive improvements which are evident with the upgrade version. For me I'll stick with the free version as ad's don't bother me too much and push notifications aren't necessary. However, this is all really down to personal choice. Although, I would recommend testing out Rowi free before you take the plunge.
Rowi is a very capable Twitter client which allows you to quickly make the app your own. Twitter is all about making the experience fun and free to do what you like, Rowi captures this perfectly. Whether you're still using the basic Twitter app, using another native client or don't even use Twitter you should stil be giving this a try.
Thanks for reading! Let us know how you use Twitter below.
Rowi is a Twitter client which is simple yet elegant. Creating an experience which is perfect for those of all ages and proficiency with Twiiter.

Athletics Aren't Going Anywhere
OAKLAND, Calif. - So where are they going? The Oakland Athletics, that is. Not to Portland. No way. And Major League Baseball has as much chance of succeeding in Las Vegas as Bud Selig would in a one-man revue at the Bellagio.
Selig, not trying to be funny, hinted the A's, the why-won't-the-Giants-give-us-San-Jose A's, might move away from the Bay, meaning the body of water separating San Francisco and its sellout crowds - more than 100 in a row to this point - from the sad turnouts in Oakland.
But if they don't go down Interstate 880 some 35 miles to San Jose, now the largest city in Northern California but viewed by the sophisticates on Nob Hill and even the Oakland Hills as a onetime prune orchard with unsophisticated dot-com millionaires, then where do they go?
As you know all too well, Lew Wolff is the real estate baron who is the A's owner and managing partner, even though technically he holds only 10 percent of the team, with John Fisher in charge of 80 percent.
Whether Fisher, whose father Donald, founder of the Gap stores and - heh, heh - a former partner in the Giants, calls the shots as some sort of eminence grise no one is certain. But Wolff, a former frat bro of Selig's at Wisconsin, is the man blamed for most of the A's troubles.
Wolff, by all reports not a bad guy, even if depicted as such by true A's fans in Oakland and some ruthless media sorts, has been thwarted in attempts to find the way to San Jose and build a park that would be small but comfortable.
That's because as part of an agreement with the Giants, who privately financed their own not-as-small but comfortable and unique park, MLB agreed the territorial rights to San Jose and environs would belong to the Giants.
The A's-Giants dispute goes on - and on and on. So Thursday at the quarterly owners meeting in New York, Selig, after conceding there was no timetable for resolution, was asked if other relocation possibilities existed.
Of course there are. Salt Lake City. Fargo. Des Moines. But they're as unrealistic as Portland and Vegas. You have to have a population base. You have to have a television market. You have to have people who want to go to a baseball game, not a blackjack table.
Selig was his usual noncommittal self. "You'd have to ask Lew Wolff," was his response. "That's really his decision to make."
A move outside the Bay Area, however, would necessitate approval from Major League Baseball.
"It depends where they'd be,'' Selig added. "They could be all over the world, for that matter."
The Prague A's? Unlikely.
The solution to all this is for Wolff, who wants nothing to do with authorities and business people in Oakland, a place he doesn't live, to reach a compromise. To concede his plan will not work, and all his stubbornness and intent has done is get those A's tarp-covered seats in the upper deck of O.co Coliseum and too many attendance figures that don't even require the use of a comma.
It should be noted, however, that the A's sometimes draw 25,000 or more, which isn't easy when the stadium has been configured down from 45,000 to 35,000. Hard to sit under a tarpaulin and see home plate. Or even center field.
Selig said he had hoped the A's and Giants would resolve the matter themselves, which is sort of like hoping Jonathan Vilma and Roger Goodell will resolve their matter themselves.
"Both clubs,'' Selig said, referring to Oakland and San Francisco, "made a presentation to the executive council (Wednesday), but there's nothing new other than that."
A group headed by Don Knauss, chairman of Clorox, which actually is based in Oakland, insists he and several others have the money and wherewithal to purchase the A's and get them the needed new place to play right in the city where they now play. Wolff, however, won't budge.
Meanwhile, the A's, despite trading almost every good and well-known player they've had under contract the last several years because of an inability to pay big-time salaries, have been delightfully effective on the field, oblivious to the war going on between the front offices.
If not oblivious to the days attendance is embarrassingly low.
After defeating the Texas Rangers 5-4 on Thursday, Oakland had a 20-19 record. That was a half-game better than the Giants, who are doing well at the gate but not particularly well hitting and fielding.
Still, for the Athletics, the issue isn't so much where they'll end up in the standings as where they'll end up playing baseball. And the probability is they'll end where they're starting, Oakland.

St. Louis Albert Pujols is more than just one of the best players in baseball. He's also an incredibly rapid healer.
The St. Louis Cardinals activated their three-time NL MVP off the 15-day disabled list Tuesday, a month ahead of schedule in his recovery from a broken left wrist.
Pujols was not in the lineup Tuesday night against Cincinnati. But manager Tony La Russa said he expected Pujols would be in the lineup today.
"Thrilled," La Russa said. "We all are. It's about as good a break as we could catch."
The NL Central leaders initially believed Pujols would be out six weeks after getting hurt June 19 in a collision at first base with the Royals' Wilson Betemit. The Cardinals thought Pujols would be back in early August.
Tuesday was the first day Pujols was eligible to return from the DL. He said he'd predicted 15 days would be enough.
"Does it surprise you?" the star first baseman asked. "It doesn't surprise me. A lot of people praying for me, and I believe all the prayers are being answered.
"That's a good way to describe it."
Reds manager Dusty Baker said he thought Pujols might be back early.
"I didn't think it was going to take as long as they said originally, knowing Albert," Baker said.

Been perusing the forums here and have gotten some good info. Now for my first post. My gf and I are heading to Denver/Boulder this weekend (gonna be there from Friday night to Tuesday). We are interested in getting some good hiking in. As we are flying in from sea level, I was thinking of doing something small around Boulder on Saturday, then Sunday or Monday doing a 14er. Was thinking about maybe Greys/Torreys, Evans/Bierstadt, etc. Are we in way over our heads thinking we can come from sea level and doing something like this within a few days?
Also I would like to avoid renting a car if possible. This is probably a long shot, but is there such thing as a 14er trailhead that is accessible by public transport? Or, does anyone wanna give us a lift from the city and hike with us?!

Kim Kardashian receives 1000 red roses for Valentine's Day
Sure beats a Hallmark card! Kim Kardashian showed off her Valentine's Day surprise on Instagram as she posed lying down with her legs in the air while surrounded by many, many bouquets of red roses.
"A thousand roses," Kardashian, 33, captioned the picture.
PHOTOS: Kim's post-baby body and style
The reality mogul looks thinner than ever while striking the seductive pose in a skin-tight black dress and sky-high stilettos.
The person likely responsible for this over-the-top display of affection? Kardashian's Yeezus fiance, Kanye West. The "Black Skinhead" emcee is known for making big gestures when it comes to the love of his life.
PHOTOS: Kimye's sweetest moments
In October 2013, the rapper proposed to Kardashian on her 33rd birthday at San Francsico's AT&T Park with a live orchestra, scoreboard proposal, and a giant diamond Lorraine Schwartz ring. And the couple is currently planning their sure-to-be extravagant summer wedding, which will possibly take place at Versailles Palace in Paris.
In meantime, they are trying to spend as much time together as possible. On Feb. 13, Kardashian was spotted at LAX airport with nearly 8-month-old daughter North West, heading to join her beau on the East Coast.
PHOTOS: Kanye's most outrageous moments
"Nothing better than being with my love on Valentine's day! Happy Vday dolls!" Kardashian tweeted on Feb. 14.
Are these celebs in love on Valentine's?

Here in lies peace.
She rests her head across his chest, her body cradled in his.
With his arms wrapped around her waist, she is safe.
This is every dream she's ever had.
Every selfish wish come true.
A nervous heartbeat stutters as she makes the first move.
Her lips to his.
And in answer to his whispered, 'Why?'
She responds in kind, 'Because I like you.'

TRIVIA: In Italian version of this episode, during one of young Gibbs' flashback, we can hear an excerpt of Sgt. Hartman's training/running song "Physically" taken from the original Italian version of Full Metal Jacket movie by Kubrick.
Tony: Very Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo doesn't get scared – I've jumped out of airplanes, deaddropped onto aircraft carriers, and I've killed people, sweetheart – lots of them. I've gotten the plague, I've kissed a transvestite, and been tortured by the best the Middle East has to offer.
Burke: And still – you're shaking!
Osman: You could have killed me.
Gibbs: Coulda, shoulda... didn't.
Osman: You are weak.
Gibbs: (punches him) No. Just better.
Gibbs: People died because of that teacher, marines. What do you think should happen to her?
Flores: Sir, that's not my decision.
Gibbs: Yeah, but you've thought about it, right?
Flores: She should be held accountable for her crimes.
Gibbs: Oh.
Flores: She should watch those girls change the world in positive ways she never imagined.
Gibbs: That a punishment?
Flores: That's a gift, sir. Punishment is knowing she could have done the same.
Gibbs: You're rare, Flores.
Tony: What?
Burke: Nothing.
Tony: Oh, no. Definitely something. What?
Burke: You intrigue me.
Tony: Uh-oh. Why?
Burke: When something's broken, I want to fix it.

Tony: (trying to deflect Burke's interest) Telling you would be like Superman telling Lex Luthor about his vulnerability to kryptonite: It ain't gonna happen.
Allusion to comic book, TV and movie hero Superman, who's only known weakness is to kryptonite, a piece of his home world that blocks his superpowers and weakens him. Lex Luthor is one of Superman's all-time arch enemies.
Tony: (talking to God in the chapel) What we have here is a failure to communicate.
A popular quote from the 1967 film Cool Hand Luke. The line is said twice, once by Strother Martin as a prison captain after striking a chain gang prisoner played by Paul Newman. Paul Newman later says the same line, after escaping and finding refuge in a church as he talks to his "Maker" much like Tony is doing here. He delivers the line just as he appears in a church window and is instantly shot to death.

There has been much debate regarding the quality and talent of leagues in the area. I definitely know my limitations and only a true guru would have the ability answer the questions I am going to pose to you in the next few paragraphs. I will give you my thoughts at quick glance to get your minds going and help you walk down memory lane but this post is for you:
The focus of this question is historic in nature and I am going to ask you to answer it in eras or all-time. Here is the question: If you had to say which league featured the most talented players in history which one would it be? Next, who would be on your all-time team for the league you chose and feel free to give any other league's all-time teams as well. You can go 1960's to 2000's or break it in half. Your call. Finally, which leagues/teams are the strongest and why? Feel free to answer for this year and/or historically.
Being the moderator and writer of this blog, I get the opportunity to go first:
First remember that I am a fan of high school basketball in general and I am not one of those people who believes Class AA necessarily produces the best talent all the time but in general the schools with the largest enrollments have the most talent to choose from and therefore you'd think they would have the most talented players. Certainly what people do in college can be beyond their high school conference's level for example in the case of the WAC's Erik Cooper (Middleburgh) who went to Rice and Sam Dolan (St. Johnsville) who went to Mercer. Those are both D1 schools and you could put them down as two of the better big men in this area's history in the last couple decades but they weren't dominant.
That shows you the talent in the WAC and additionally Scott Cherry from Spa Catholic went to North Carolina and competed against Duke who won two national championships and Pete Philo played D1 at South Alabama and lived in Northville by way of Schenectady. These are just some examples of how you cannot judge a book by its cover and if you are blind to the size of the school you would not recognize that four D1 kids came from WAC communities in the last two decades alone.
The league with the most talent in the last 25-30 years or so, which is the depth of my knowledge would be the Big Ten of course and I dare you to name a league that can come close to my Top 40 list: (I apologize if I forgot someone deserving and I also specifically apologize to Pat Reilly, Barry Kraemer and Luther Burden who played before the era I am focusing on whom all would have been top 10 easy on this list I am sure)
Willy Foley – Albany (Boston College)
Harry Hart – Albany (Iona)
Rashaun Freeman – Schenectady (UMass)
Kasheef Hameed – Gibbons (Iona)
Terrence Durham – CBA (St. Bonaventure)
James Thomas – Schenectady (Texas)
Lee Jones – Albany (LIU)
Brian Monahan – CBA (St. Michael's)
Josh Duell – CBA (Vermont/Siena)
Gary Holle – CCHS (Siena)
Troy Turner – Albany (Potsdam)
Elander Lewis – Albany (St. Johns/VCU)
Joe Bova – CBA (Columbia)
Brian Ledbetter – Schenectady (St. Rose)
Shimeek Johnson – Maginn (Fairfield)
Devin Grimes – CCHS (St. Rose)
Toby Given – CBA (Syracuse)
James Johnson – Albany (UNC Wilmington)
Yusuf Stewart – Maginn (UNC Greensboro)
Lamar King – Albany (Radford)
Antoni Wyche – Gibbons (Notre Dame)
Willie Deane – Schenectady (BC/Purdue)
Jason McKreith – Schenectady (Rice)
Andy Robinson – Schenectady (UBuffalo)
Durett Miles – Schenectady (LeMoyne)
Zach O'Brien – Gibbons (St. Michael's)
Corey Dace – Albany (Potsdam)
Derrick Johnson – Albany (Syracuse)
Keith Danzy – Albany (Gannon)
Demond Sheppard – Albany (Navy)
Jarming White – CBA (Siena)
Joe Taylor – Gibbons (Marist)
Devonaire Deas – Albany (Florida State)
Todd Cetnar – Amsterdam (UAlbany)**
Lionel Chalmers – CBA/Gibbons/Albany (Xavier)
Taquan Evans – LaSalle (Iona)
Tiki Mayben – Troy (UMass/Binghamton)
TJ Czeski – Amsterdam (Wagner)
Talor Battle – CCHS/Maginn (Penn State)
Mark Lyons – Schenectady (Xavier)
Brian Hamor – Gibbons (Stonehill)
So the Big Ten is tops in my opinion in a landslide. I would love for people to try and pick one all-star team from that list. Also, what other league all-time lists can people compile and how would the all-time teams from each league do against one another? Have some fun with this!

A northern Michigan police officer has been suspended with pay after he was seen off-duty driving a pickup truck bearing a Confederate flag around a group protesting Republican Donald Trump's election as president.
Traverse City police Chief Jeff O'Brien announced Michael Peters' suspension Sunday after earlier saying an internal investigation was to start Monday to see if departmental rules were broken.
O'Brien tells the Traverse City Record-Eagle that Peters "is not working as a police officer." He expects to meet with Peters on Monday.
He had confirmed that Peters was in a photo taken from Friday's rally. The newspaper could not reach Peters for comment.
There have been several reports of threats, intimidation and racially charged violence around the country since Trump defeated Democrat Hillary Clinton in Tuesday's presidential election.

Get Well With Chiropractic!
Get well with Chiropractic – Chiropractic helps you to return to pain-free life.
The holistic approach is the major aspect of the chiropractic philosophy, and it is believed that the body is self-healing organism. Chiropractic focuses on maintaining optimal health naturally and helping the body to resist disease by treating the causes of physical problems, rather than simply treating the symptoms of disease. Combining chiropractic care, proper nutrition and exercise will help you to maintain well-balanced lifestyle and activate longevity.
Chiropractic Care – Spinal and joint manipulation is applied to abnormal vertebra (spinal segments) with the goal of improving functionality, reducing nerve irritability and restoring range of motion in the back. Manual manipulation is also known as chiropractic adjustment. Chiropractic mobilization is referred to movement and stretching of the muscle and joints with the goal of increasing the range of motion within those areas.
Chiropractic is a non-invasive, hands-on health care discipline that focuses on the neuro-musculoskeletal system. Chiropractors practice a manual approach. Doctors of Chiropractic are specifically trained to detect and correct problems in the spine, often before the patient is even aware they exist.
Sedentary lifestyle, stress and other negative factors that you are exposed to, lead to disorders of the spine. You have bad posture and experience episodes of back pain? You do not know how you might address your concerns to relieve symptoms of pain, correct posture and improve your well-being? Often, people refer to chiropractors. Chiropractic care has positive effect on the spinal segments and joints. Chiropractic care alleviates pain, reduces muscle tension, increases blood flow, improves joint movement, corrects posture, and normalizes energy flow in your body.
Manual Therapy & Massage – Joint mobilizations are techniques utilized by licensed professional to increase or improve arthrokinematic motion at a joint. They involve the therapist using hands to stabilize a joint as well as applying motion through the joint surfaces passively as the patient relaxes. Manual therapy also includes soft tissue techniques, such as myofascial release, deep tissue massage, trigger point massage to improve elasticity, reduce stiffness and spasms of involved muscles and fascia, stretch connective tissues and positional release to reset nerve receptors in the muscles and tendons to reduce tension. These techniques aid in restoring normal joint range of motion, decrease pain, and allow improved ability to resume full activity symptom-free.
Therapeutic Massage is among the most natural means of restoring and maintaining a person's health and well-being. Massage is integral part of chiropractic care. The advantages of receiving therapeutic massage are numerous and well documented. Massage offers a drug-free, non-invasive approach based on supporting your own body's natural ability to heal itself.
Therapeutic massage has been shown to be extremely beneficial for a variety of health conditions with the most prevalent being stress-related tension.
Physical Therapy – electrical stimulation and ultrasound are used to reduce spasms, relieve pain, increase blood supply into affected areas, reduce inflammation and trigger point activity. Implementation of these modalities will assist in healing.
Therapeutic Exercises – to release contracted muscles, tendons and fascia; improve strength, performance and functional capacities (endurance); improve flexibility, balance, coordination circulation and respiratory capacity; promote relaxation self-awareness.
Lifestyle modifications – assistance to develop strategies how to decrease daily stress, improve posture and balance, improve ergonomics for your home and work place, teach proper techniques to avoid back injuries, guidance with learning home care exercises, improve self–awareness.
Our musculoskeletal system was designed for physically active individuals. We have to move in order to keep our body systems healthy. Without movement and physical load we deteriorate and might develop multiple health related disorders. If you are not engaged in a physical activity program on a regular bases, your body is not receiving health-related benefits. Please visit Atlant Chiropractic our New York and New Jersey chiropractic centers to learn more about benefits of exercise, proper ergonomics and how to implement it to your every day life.
"Chiropractic is a lifestyle that involves all aspects of wellness, including exercise, nutrition, personal development, and stress relief."
In addition to in-office treatment, you will be provided with personalized exercises (most are with visual guidance) that you can perform in a convenience of your home. Please check the link below "Exercise of the Day" provided by WebExercises® to see an example of a professionally conducted self-care exercise. Additionally, when you join our Member's area (coming soon), you will gain access to downloadable documentation.

Jared and Lucy provided global recognition of the power of using sport as a catalyst for inclusive development worldwide.
