Ahh, the irony. Yesterday, I got an email telling me to prepare for Banned Books Week (or BBW, as it's sometimes known). Then I read my morning paper only to discover an article about challenged books at the Brooklyn Public Library. Boy, I thought, those ALA marketing people are at the top of their game this time, getting an article about challenged books in the Paper of Record just as they're preparing for BBW.
Instead of the usual snoozefest about how librarians defend offensive books and are the saviors of civilization, we are treated to a story of the Brooklyn Public Library basically not defending an offensive book. Tintin au Congo has been removed from the circulating collection because a patron found it "offensive to black people." So much for intellectual freedom! From the NYT:
"'It's not for the public,' a librarian in the children's room said this month when a patron asked to see it.
The book, published 79 years ago, was moved in 2007 from the public area of the library to a back room where it is held under lock and key….
'This is a special collection of historic children's literature that is available for viewing by appointment only' the library said in a letter explaining its decision."
Not for the public! Yeah, it's "special" and "historic," which is why it's easily available from Amazon. Usually special collections are designed to protect rare or special volumes. It seems this one is designed to protect delicate library patrons.
The ALA gets quoted, at least. "'Policies should not unjustly exclude materials and resources even if they are offensive to the librarian or the user,'' says the Web site of the American Library Association, which adds, 'Toleration is meaningless without tolerance for what some may consider detestable.'" In Brooklyn I guess tolerance doesn't extend very far. According to the article, the library has had 11 challenges since 2005, but this is the only book to be removed from the stacks.
So it seems the ALA marketing people aren't at the top of their game. One person complains that a 70 year old French cartoon book is offensive, and suddenly that book is "not for the public" and removed from circulation. One might expect this down in Rubeville, South Carolina, but to have big city librarians doing that doesn't say much for the ALA ideology. I often note that the public pays no attention to what the ALA says. Now, it turns out that librarians don't either.

Database maker Oracle is in talks to buy Micros Systems, the outfit which makes software and point-of-sale hardware for retailers and hotel chains.
The deal is expected to be worth around $5 billion and is still being negotiated.
Micros Systems makes point-of-sale hardware and software for restaurants and hotels. Neither side is confirming the deal is taking place.
Word on the strasse is that Oracle rivals will be rushing to stick their oar in and offer higher bids to drive up the price. They may not want to buy Micros Systems but they do like seeing Larry Ellison get very cross having to pay more for something than he expected.
Other possible buyers would be SAP and Big Blue which have their own enterprise class e-commerce platform.
Ellison will want the company to help it stave off threat from software-as-a-service e-commerce vendors such as Demandware and NetSuite.
Oracle has been rolling out its own cloud-based products and acquiring smaller cloud companies such as marketing software maker Responsys.
Ellison has reorganised his sales team to catch up with rivals such as Salesforce.com, SAP and Workday.
Smaller, aggressive companies like Salesforce.com and Workday have often undercut Oracle's pricing.
Oracle reported quarterly revenue and profit that failed to satisfy investors looking for signs of a sustained turnaround and forecast in-line current-quarter results in March. The company is expected to report fourth quarter results on June 19.
The deal, if confirmed, would be Oracle's largest acquisition since it bought Sun Microsystems for $5.6 billion in 2009.

Podcast: Lib Dems blinkered in Brighton
The Lib Dems, battered by Brighton's sea breeze and the even harsher buffets of British politics, are turning resilience into a fine art.
In the first of three conference-season podcasts, Alex Stevenson Follow @alex__stevenson assesses the state of play in the Liberal Democrat party.
Pollster Gideon Skinner, head of political research at Ipsos Mori, notes that there has been very limited progress for Nick Clegg in the last 12 months; Mark Littlewood, director-general of the Institute for Economic Affairs, points to the party's remarkable resilience; and Mark Pack, co-editor of blog Lib Dem Voice, argues that the Lib Dems don't seem likely to get rid of Clegg before 2015.
This podcast also features interviews with a number of grassroots activists. Thanks to Howard Sykes of Oldham, Mary Fallon of Chippenham, Tony Little of Hillingdon, Rhodri Jamieson-Ball of Islington and Liz Leffman of Witney.

text: Just recently, the iPhone 5 was announced on AT&T and the option became available to purchase it as a Refurbished device. If you are unfamiliar with the term 'Refurbished', it means the device was returned, and is considered as used by a consumer. The devices do not go to waste as they are sent back to Apple for an inspection, and repackaging. The device is then sold for a fraction of what it normally retailed for. In most cases, it is about a third less. AT&T is currently the only United State's carrier offering this to customers as of now. No word has been given if this is just a Black Friday/Weekend special, but consumers can predict this will be a permanent thing. If you had a choice to buy a brand new iPhone 5, or a Refurbished one, which would you pick? Be sure to check out the video above for full details!

One assumes that by now, most people who agree to do an interview with Stephen Colbert know that there will be a certain amount of tomfoolery involved. But in this clip from Wednesday night's "Colbert Report," it certainly seems like British historian and analyst Hugo Vickers was either not in on the joke, or he didn't particularly appreciate it. Which of course makes Colbert's antics all the more hilarious.
Giving the sardonic host a high tea service lesson with a stuffy British royal scholar must be the equivalent of giving a kitten a ball of yarn laced with catnip. The glee with which Colbert ruins the lesson and embarrasses the teacher is a thing a beauty.
And fortunately, this is only part one of "My Fair Colbert: Stephen Colbert's Crown Jewels," a series that promises to follow Colbert in his attempts to amp-up his British factor in time for the royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton.

Skip to comments.Holder staying on for second term means more of same for Fast and Furious probe
Posted on 11/14/2012 9:26:26 AM PST by marktwain
Most likely ending speculation Eric Holder started last week when he announced he may not stay on for a second term, the New York Post reported today that the attorney general will remain on the job at the request of the president.
Gun Rights Examiner raised troubling concerns that the floated resignation could remove Holder as a subject for further investigation into Fast and Furious gunwalking, and also raised the alarm that potential replacements being discussed in the press must be vetted with the gun issue being a non-negotiable litmus test. Holders reported decision not to resign now means he will still be the top decision-maker responsible for fielding House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform inquiries related to its ongoing investigation.
If the Post report is correct, Holder will stay on knowing he remains under the presidents executive protection. Also to be decided will be his motion that the U.S. District Court has no jurisdiction over the civil contempt of Congress complaint against him, but no matter which way that goes, the case can be dragged on for years via appeals.
This might leave some to speculate, What does Holder have on Obama? Seattle Gun Rights Examiner Dave Workman observed in a report today. This might be a natural progression from the question people were asking this summer when Obama granted executive privilege protection to the subpoenaed documents: What is Obama trying to hide?

Holder is goin down.....book it...I'll be here
Criminals all....
A lot is known about Fast & Furious, so a large organization should conduct a mock *grand jury* inquiry, based on the available information, and listing known participants as "unindicted co-conspirators", with the presentation of evidence that they *should* be indicted.
Video it as a documentary, and put it out as an "instructional DVD."
The grand jury is a very interesting thing in common law and history, and though today grand juries are seen as a function of government, this was not always the case:
"Any citizen could bring a matter before a grand jury directly, from a public work that needed repair, to the delinquent conduct of a public official, to a complaint of a crime, and grand juries could conduct their own investigations.
"In that era most criminal prosecutions were conducted by private parties, either a law enforcement officer, a lawyer hired by a crime victim or his family, or even by laymen.
"A layman could bring a bill of indictment to the grand jury; if the grand jury found there was sufficient evidence for a trial, that the act was a crime under law, and that the court had jurisdiction, it would return the indictment to the complainant.
"The grand jury would then *appoint* the complaining party to exercise the authority of an attorney general, that is, one having a general power of attorney to represent the state in the case."
Now here's the zinger.
Though today grand juries are conducted differently, much US law is based on this older type of grand jury, so if someone were to conduct a grand jury in this traditional manner, it would have a bizarre resonance throughout the US judicial system.
Federal judges would note that, at least historically, a grand jury of this sort would be enough to indict many of the federal agents and officers involved with Fast & Furious.
Federal judges take this sort of thing very seriously, and it could create some serious judicial animosity to these federals who are hiding behind their badges right now.
Grand jury bump.
A traditional grand jury action makes more sense than the secession tantrum going on now.
It would also make a very clear presentation of Fast & Furious to the public, without the spin, stonewalling, and obstruction that exists right now.
A seasoned prosecutor would present the known evidence to the audience seated as a grand jury, lay down the specifics of the case, and ask that they return an indictment, as if it were a grand jury hearing.
Beyond that, is just the editing and the distribution of the DVD.
He's in contempt of Congress, why would the Senate re-confirm him?
Probably wouldn't last more than a few days.
Sign me up.
Still, will McConnell use his confirmation hearing as a de facto Fast and Furious hearing?

Any tips or thoughts?
My thoughts are that it is underexposed (or darkened too much in post-processing), slightly out of focus, and likely the white balance is off. I suggest reading through my short guide on lunar photography which folks here have used with success. It will give you guidelines on exposure (aperture, shutter speed, ISO).
I agree with astrostu, but please don't give up. Sometimes we get a little discouraged when our 1st post doesn't do well. Welcome to TPF.
alright ill read that and try again, thank you. I thought the darker moon looked better than the whiter ones i took, but i guess i should be looking for more white when i shoot the moon

Over fifteen years ago I determined that, although I could change how the face looked with surgery, this would not change the quality of the skin. In order to offer a complete service for my patients, I would need to provide skin care in addition to the plastic surgery. To this end I opened Advanced Medical Skin Care at the same location as my medical practice. With the addition of these services, I can be sure that my patients receive top medically supervised skin care.

Why is Skin Care Important?
Over the course of our lives, we are all exposed to some degree of UV sunlight and air pollution, be it in casual or significant doses. Exposure to these damaging environmental agents – along with alcohol consumption, smoking, stress, medication, and/or a variety of other lifestyle influences – often causes the complexion of our skin to gradually dull, dry, and even develop texture and pigment irregularities. In certain, more profound instances, precancerous lesions may also manifest. The combination of all these factors generally results in a prematurely aged skin appearance.
Through the years, the skin's ability to properly "renew" itself diminishes due to a combination of the normal aging process and damage incurred by environmental factors like sun overexposure, pollution, and even stress. As cell turnover slows, the surface layer of dead skin on the body begins to thicken, which in turn impedes the proper flow of moisture to the skin's outermost layers. Not only does this create dry skin, it also produces an uneven skin texture as well. Additionally, continued exposure to the sun's UV rays increases the pigment in each skin cell, often leading to the appearance of age spots, freckles, and skintone irregularities. Lastly, the skin loses its elasticity as both collagen and elastin begin to deteriorate, commonly resulting in the development of lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin.
Skin Peels and Microdermabrasion
Every 28 days, the outer layer of skin (medically referred to as the epidermis) completely replaces itself as part of a continuous state of renewal. The process begins in the lower layers of the epidermis, where new cells are regularly developing. Over time, these cells gradually rise towards the skin's surface and are eventually shed once fully depleted of moisture. With age, this cell renewal process starts to slow down and lose efficacy, typically resulting in thicker, more inelastic skin that begins to wrinkle and develop other signs of aging.
Here at Aesthetic Surgery of Virginia, treatments such as Silk Peels, the BioMedic MicroPeel, and Microdermabrasion are designed to facilitate and improve the exfoliation process by swiftly removing the outer layer of dead skin cells, ultimately helping to make the entire skin renewal process more uniform and effective. As an added benefit, these skin rejuvenation techniques often require minimal to no downtime, enabling you to return to your normal daily activities almost immediately.
Skin Care Products
The proper function of damaged skin cells can often be restored through treatment with a variety of skin care products. By accelerating the skin's cellular functions to allow for persistent renewal, healthy skin cells will continually push to the surface of the skin to replace dead cells for a smoother, more hydrated look and feel. Age spots and freckles will also begin to fade, and the production of melanin (dark pigment) will be normalized. Additionally, the production of elastin and collagen within the skin will be stimulated, helping to improve elasticity. The combination of all these functions works to promote a more healthy, youthful-looking skin tone and texture.
Aesthetic Surgery of Virginia is committed to bringing you the most effective products the skincare industry has to offer. Furthermore, we strive to employ a broad span of skin care lines in order to address your specific skin type, as well as your unique budget! Our office carries the following product lines:
- Obagi Skin Care including the Obagi Proffesional C-Serums and the ObagiClenziderm
- Elta MD
- SkinMedica
- Theraderm
- Jane Iredale
- Babyfoot USA
- Revision
- Neova
- Glytone
- Advanced Private Label, our very own skin care line designed to meet your skin care and budget needs!
Baby Foot
The friction and pressure of everyday activities such as walking, exercising, and simply wearing shoes can lead to the accumulation of dead skin cells on the soles of the feet. Over time, this build-up of dry, dead skin may cause the feet to become cracked and even painful. While razors and foot files can be effective methods for removing dead skin cells, these are typically only temporary solutions as scraping and filing often generates additional friction, therefore creating more dead skin on the soles of the feet.
At our practice, we offer a revolutionary product called "Baby Foot", which is scientifically formulated with 17 types of natural extracts to simultaneously exfoliate and moisturize skin on the feet. Fruit acid – which is the principal ingredient of Baby Foot and gentler than most other acids – works to penetrate deeply into layers of dead skin cells and break down the connective bands holding the layers together over the course of about seven to ten days. Once this process is complete, the dead tissues can be peeled away to reveal the fresh, smoother skin underneath. Ultimately, Baby Foot can be an excellent way to help you achieve beautiful, healthy feet – like that of a newborn baby.
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light)
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is a photorejuvenation treatment designed to improve the appearance of sun and age spots, photoaged skin, redness stemming from broken capillaries, and brown pigmentation. Using broad spectrum light, this non-ablative technique can be employed to target sun damage on virtually any area of the body, including the face, neck, chest, and hands. IPL therapy produces very few side effects and typically requires little to no downtime, often making it an excellent option for individuals who lead active lifestyles.
Fraxel Laser Treatment
For years, patients have desired a breakthrough aesthetic approach with many of the benefits of ablative laser skin resurfacing (performed with a CO2 laser), but without the downtime, side effects and lengthy recovery period. The solution: Fraxel® Laser Treatment.
During treatment, the Fraxel™ Laser is designed to create thousands of deep, tiny columns – referred to as MicroThermal Zones – in the skin. By penetrating through the non-living surface layer of skin and deep into the dermis, the intensive treatment works to eliminate old pigmented cells with the utmost precision, leaving surrounding, healthy tissues unharmed. Due to the laser's "fractional" approach, skin in the treatment area tends to heal much quicker than if the whole area had been targeted at once, and during this time new, healthy tissue will be created to replace perceived imperfections on the surface of the skin.
Jane Iredale Makeup
Known as The Skin Care Makeup, the Jane Iredale line is so safe and beneficial to use that it is recommended by Plastic Surgeons and Dermatologists throughout the world.
Jane's line is a highly-sophisticated blend of minerals and pigments which are micro-pulverized, using proprietary technology and processes to form microscopic flat crystals. These crystals overlap each other on the skin to form a filter that allows the skin to breathe and function normally while still protecting it from air-borne pollutants. The staying power of the minerals is so great that they rarely need a touch-up during the day. And because these silky-feeling powders are water resistant, they won't crease or smear even during the most strenuous exercise.
These state-of-the-art minerals are available in so many colors that there's one for every complexion no matter what the ethnicity.
Permanent Makeup
Permanent makeup, sometimes referred to as cosmetic tattooing, can relieve you from the everyday hassle of applying makeup and ultimately enhance your natural beauty. Permanent makeup is a non-surgical treatment that utilizes intradermal pigmentation techniques that can eliminate the need for daily applications of lip liner, color, and other common makeup products. This can be particularly helpful for women with cosmetics allergies, vision impairments, unsteady hands, and for those who simply want makeup to last without requiring seemingly endless touch-ups.
Permanent makeup treatments are performed by our certified Master Aesthetician. She can help you permanently enhance the upper and lower eyelids, the eyebrows, and the lips with these effective procedures.
Butterfly™ Eyelash Extensions
Butterfly™ Lash Solutions can be a great option for individuals interested in achieving thicker, longer eyelashes. Made from single strands of synthetic lashes, these semi-permanent eyelash extensions are curved to closely resemble natural lashes, and they come in variety of different lengths and thicknesses that can be matched to meet your specific needs and goals.
Each Butterfly™ Lash is secured one by one to your own eyelashes, creating beautiful, natural-looking results. Once bonded, the lash extensions should not get wet within the first 24 hours, though showering, swimming, and most other water-based activities can be resumed thereafter. If you wish to apply mascara to your eyelashes, only water-based mascara should be utilized to ensure the bonding agent does not dissolve. Additionally, you should avoid vigorously rubbing your eyes, using mechanical eyelash curlers, and pulling directly on the lashes in order to help increase their longevity.
The average rate at which natural eyelashes fall out and new lashes grow in is approximately every 60 to 120 days. For this reason, periodic touch-ups may be necessary to apply eyelash extensions to the new growth and ensure optimal long-term outcomes. Ultimately, with the proper care and maintenance, Butterfly™ lash extensions can transform the appearance of your eyes with beautiful, lasting results.
Other Cosmetic Services
Over time, smiling, frowning, and various other expressions we make leave their imprint on our faces in the form of lines and wrinkles. Depending on the severity of these concerns, something more than regular skin care may be necessary to diminish their appearance. For indications that do not respond to routine skin care treatments – e.g. deep wrinkles, forehead creases, nasolabial folds, lines around the eyes, and more – cosmetic injectables and dermal fillers may often be excellent solutions. BOTOX® can be employed to relax the muscles causing folds and wrinkles on the forehead and around the eyes, and fillers like JUVÉDERM® can be utilized to temporarily diminish deep lines below the eyes and around the mouth.
Sometimes, however, even cosmetic injectables and fillers are not enough to effectively address our concerns. At this time, plastic surgery may be the most effective option. Whether it is a facelift, tummy tuck, breast augmentation or liposuction, it is available at my practice. I am a board-certified plastic surgeon and member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons as well as the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.
One's poise and self-confidence is directly related to his or her self-image. Each day, my team and I employ our aesthetic eye and collective expertise to help ensure individuals just like you are able to go through life looking and feeling their best. If you are seeking a cosmetic practice that provides the highest level of care in a safe, comfortable, and friendly environment, search no further than Aesthetic Surgery of Virginia. Contact our office today to discover what we can do to help you achieve the look that matches the way you feel.

The MLB has the least competitive balance, but it's not as skewed as some people tend to think.
My argument was mainly that there are less upside and more downside than people may realize to a cap. Though competitive balance is the clear upside (and I agree with your European soccer argument, although the Europa Cup is a 100 times as big a deal as the NIT, which I would compare to the late Intertoto Cup), the restrictions it puts on small market teams can lead them to bad situations (Hornets, Coyotes). Although even without salary floor restrictions, owners do a fine job of mismanaging and bankrupting teams too (Dodgers, Mets).
I'm probably pro-Salary cap, but it's a many-layered problem that is thankfully left to people much smarter than me to try and solve.

|Salary cap
The baseball example is the go-to one, but I don't think it's clear-cut evidence in favor of a salary cap. The Red Sox and Yankees have a clear advantage each year, but revenue sharing and the luxury tax help other teams as well. Since 2003, 7 different teams have won the World Series.

Ravens Linked To 6 High Profile Players
With agents floating out team interest to try to get buzz around their clients, we can't buy into all the rumors about free agents linked to the Ravens.
Our own Ryan Mink poked fun at some of Ravens rumors being floated out.
"So according to reports, #Ravens are going to get Steve Smith, Julian Edelman, Owen Daniels, Alex Mack AND
While quarterback
As of now, the idea of adding veteran wide receiver Steve Smith is picking up some steam … if he is released.
"Today might be the day when the Carolina Panthers make a final decision on perennial Pro Bowl receiver Steve Smith, who very well could be released and wind up at the top of the Ravens' wish list at the position," wrote The Baltimore Sun's Jeff Zrebiec. "Smith is 34 years old and has probably lost a step or two, but as I wrote in this space Monday, he is a very good fit for what the Ravens need. And his addition would also continue the Ravens' habit of signing free agents released by other teams, thus not affecting the team's ability to get draft pick compensation."
Let's take a look at each:
WR Steve Smith
Report: The Carolina Panthers unsuccessfully shopped Smith around for a trade, and now could cut him to avoid a $7 million hit to the salary cap. If Smith hits the open market, the Ravens are expected to emerge as a "strong potential landing spot," per The Sun's Aaron Wilson.
Stats: 34 years old (14-year veteran), 5-foot-9, 185 pounds; 2013: 64 catches, 745 yards, 4 TDs
Fit with Ravens: The five-time Pro Bowler would bring a toughness to the Ravens' receiving corps, and has the ability to get under his opponents' skin. He knows how to produce, churning out an obscene amount of career yards (12,197) and touchdowns (67), and would nicely fit opposite
WR Julian Edelman
Report: To the surprise of many, the New England Patriots were not able to lock down their most productive receiver last season, as Edelman turned down a three-year offer and is now an unrestricted free agent. The Ravens have "definite interest" in Edelman, even though it hasn't materialized into a visit or contract offer yet, according to Wilson. Baltimore is among the teams in the mix to acquire Edelman, added The Carroll County Times' Matt Zenitz.
Stats: 27 years old (6-year veteran), 5-10, 198; 2013: 105 catches, 1,056 yards, 6 TDs
Fit with Ravens: The sure-handed slot receiver, who can pick up yards after the catch, could be a chain-moving target the Ravens seek. Edelman excels in the slot, although he's not limited there, displaying toughness and reliability. Last year was the first he made it through the season without injury. Was 2013 a one-year wonder as a beneficiary of a Tom Brady system? Maybe, but it was receiver Danny Amendola who got the big contract to fill Wes Welker's role. Amendola came up short, and Edelman stepped up. Edelman is also a dangerous punt returner.
WR Emmanuel Sanders
Report: The Ravens have a "high opinion" of the free agent wide receiver after facing him for four years as a Pittsburgh Steeler, per Wilson. That opinion hasn't developed into anything substantive, including a visit or offer. Sanders has also been rumored to be of interest to the Browns and Patriots.
Stats: 26 years old (5-year veteran), 5-11, 180 pounds; 2013: 67 catches, 740 yards, 6 TDs
Fit with Ravens: Another slot option after being used as the No. 2 receiver in Pittsburgh last year. "Sanders appeared in every game last season and started 10," ESPN's Bill Polian wrote. "A diminutive, but quick and elusive athlete, Sanders does his best work out of the slot, though he doesn't have the ideal build to withstand the punishment that goes along with playing close to the ball and drops too many passes."
TE Owen Daniels
Report: The Houston Texans surprisingly cut Daniels yesterday, with a failed physical designation, to save on his $6.25 million salary-cap figure. As a cap casualty, Daniels could be of interest to General Manager Ozzie Newsome because he would favor the compensatory pick formula. The Ravens will "definitely evaluate the merits" of potentially having Daniels work in tandem with
Stats: 31 years old (8-year veteran), 6-3, 249; 2013: 24 catches, 252 yards, 3 TDs (five games)
Fit with Ravens: Daniels obviously creates an intriguing option for the Ravens after he worked with the Ravens' new offensive coordinator in Houston for eight years. Kubiak's offense frequently features double tight end sets, but Daniels is coming off a season mostly spent on injured reserve with a broken fibula. Daniels is a pass-catching tight end and is an effective red-zone target with a large catch radius. He is not considered a strong blocker, which is also a knock on Pitta's game.
TE Brandon Pettigrew
Report: There are "whispers" that the Ravens are interested in tight end Brandon Pettigrew, according to The Sun's Mike Preston. Pettigrew wasn't re-signed by the Detroit Lions after they selected him in first round of the 2009 draft.
Stats: 29 years old (6-year veteran), 6-5, 265 pounds; 2013: 41 catches, 416 yards, 2 TDs
Fit with Ravens: As opposed to Daniels and Pitta, Pettigrew qualifies as a throwback blocking tight end. "He's one of the best all-around tight ends, from a blocking and receiving standpoint," one NFL personnel director told USA TODAY Sports. "He will have drops (in the passing game). But they also didn't use him."
C Alex Mack
Report: Prior to signing left tackle Eugene Monroe, NFL Media's Ian Rapport said the Ravens were plotting a backup plan to land Browns center Alex Mack, who has been given the transition tag designation. That means the Ravens could make an offer to Mack that the Browns could choose to match. With Monroe locked up, it's unclear if the Ravens would still try to make a move.
Stats: 28 years old (6-year veteran), 6-4, 311; started all 80 games of his career
Fit with Ravens: The two-time Pro Bowler would become the unquestioned starter ahead of third-year player
NFL Spent $1 Billion Yesterday
This is bananas! Just bananas.
In a half day, the NFL spent $1 BILLION dollars, according to King. That's 64 player signings for an estimated total of $1,001,500,000.
One billion is a league first.
"The mayhem is not over," King added. "Some of the biggest names in the game are on the street or on the verge of being there, their fate to be determined perhaps by the time you read this. … As Wednesday dawns, the craziest thing I can think to say is this: Today could be loonier than yesterday."
Safety Market Shrinking On Ravens
The Ravens are in need of a free safety, and the pool from which to draw is shrinking.
Ten safeties have signed since Tuesday:
Jarius Byrd to Saints: six years, $54 million
Donte Whitner to Browns: four years, $28 million
Mike Mitchell to Steelers: five years, $25 million
Antoine Bethea to 49ers: four years, $23 million
T.J. Ward to Broncos: four years, $23 million
Malcolm Jenkins to Eagles: three years, $16.25 million
Ryan Mundy to Bears: two years, money not reported
Stevie Brown to Giants: one year, $4 million
Louis Delmas to Dolphins: one year, $2.25 million
ESPN's Jamison Hensley said yesterday that the Ravens are left with few options, and that was when only six safeties had signed.
"The Ravens need to target Chris Clemons, the underrated safety from the Miami Dolphins who has drawn interest from the Jets," Hensley wrote. "He is a hybrid who played strong safety last season but is equally as effective in pass defense. Another option is moving a veteran cornerback to safety like Champ Bailey or Antonio Cromartie. That should be a contingency plan.
"A third choice is Thomas DeCoud, who was cut by the Falcons on Tuesday. There's a question on which DeCoud will show up. In 2012, DeCoud went to the Pro Bowl after making six interceptions, which ranked second among NFL safeties. Last season, defensive coordinator Mike Nolan called out DeCoud for slumping."
Ravens Get A Bargain With Monroe; Ozzie 'Masterful'
The Ravens got a bargain with Monroe after they signed him to a five-year deal reportedly worth $37.5 million ($7.5 million per year average.)
The breakdown of the deal is as follows, according to multiple reports.
2014: $3.2 million
2015: $7.7 million
2016: $8.7 million
2017: $8.95 million
2018: $8.95 million
"The Ravens did it again," wrote The Sun's Matt Vensel. "From the outside looking in, their handling of the Monroe situation was masterful. They put an offer on the table for him and didn't blink when Monroe and his agent were able to shop it on the open market.
"Instead of panicking and overpaying for a solid but not elite left tackle, the Ravens arguably got the best bargain out of the group of top free-agent tackles that included Branden Albert (signed by Miami), Jared Valdheer (Arizona) and Rodger Saffold (Oakland)."
Now the Ravens are left with enough cap space (reported $15.8 million) to make another significant signing. Perhaps with one of the players mentioned above?

Farmers urged to maintain Bt refuge
Since the first Bt crops were introduced, farmers have had to plant a certain percentage of their acres to non-Bt varieties to help ensure insects did not become resistant to the technology.
"Planting a refuge has been and continues to be a key component of an insect resistant management, or IRM, program," said Kelly Brunkhorst, the Nebraska Corn Board's director of research. "It's been that way since the Environmental Protection Agency approved the first Bt crop in the mid-1990s and is just as important today."
Bt has been re-registered by EPA, which asked technology providers—seed companies—to step up monitoring and make sure refuges are being maintained.
"There is a concern that as corn prices rise, farmers will be tempted to plant less of a refuge because having that Bt protection on more acres means greater yields," he said. "At the same time, there are many Bt products that offer different types of protection, so it is more difficult to calculate a proper refuge."
One tool that can help farmers is a refuge calculator developed by the National Corn Growers Association and all major seed technology providers.
Available for free at website, the calculator includes all Bt product options for different parts of the country and simplifies developing a refuge.
Bt technology involves incorporating natural Bacillus thuringiensis proteins into the plant's stalks, leaves or roots. This significantly reduces insect damage because Bt proteins are toxic to many crop pests but are harmless to people, which is why Bt proteins have been sprayed on many different crops for decades and are still widely used today.
Having a refuge helps ensure crop pests do not become resistant to Bt proteins, thereby reducing their effectiveness.
"Bt technology is worth a lot, as the different types of Bt protection today keep the plant healthier both above and below ground. This means improved yield potential," Brunkhorst said. "At the same time, it significantly reduces the amount of insecticides sprayed on corn acres, which saves money and time. Farmers need to maintain a proper refuge to make sure we don't lose the use of this beneficial technology."
In the past, seed companies did their own monitoring, and sometimes contracted with organizations like the Association of Official Seed Certifying Agencies (AOSCA) to assess randomly selected customers to monitor IRM compliance rates. This year, however, tech providers came together to contract with AOSCA on a national level and make the program completely independent from the seed companies.
The Nebraska Crop Improvement Association, an AOSCA affiliate, will handle the assessment in Nebraska, Brunkhorst said,with letters going out to farmers beginning in June and phone calls to schedule appointments after that.
The assessment must be completed in person and only takes 10-20 minutes.
"They aren't looking for any more details than the total acres, how many were planted and how many were left in a refuge for each Bt product," Brunkhorst said. "Part of the technology agreement includes meeting refuge requirements and providing information on their refuge when asked as part of the compliance program, so we'd encourage farmers to respond and cooperate."

Gio, Werth argue in Nats dugout in first inning
WASHINGTON -- During the Nationals' 4-2 victory over the Giants on Tuesday night, starting pitcher Gio Gonzalez found himself in a heated argument with right fielder Jayson Werth in the middle of the first inning.
Werth was upset that Gonzalez didn't get to first base in time for a potential inning-ending double play after Buster Posey hit a grounder to Adam LaRoche at first base.View Full Game Coverage
"I kind of read it wrong. I didn't think LaRoche was going to make that play," Gonzalez said. "I thought [second baseman] Anthony [Rendon] was. I didn't cover the bag. It was the way I fell off the mound. After that, I had to minimize damage."
Gonzalez also was dealing with back spasms, and that's why he had problems covering first base. The back started to get better as the game went along.
"I'll be ready for my next start," he said.
The TV cameras showed Werth and Gonzalez arguing in the dugout after the top of the first inning ended, while pitching coach Steve McCatty and hitting coach Rick Schu had to separate them.
"Just a little camaraderie going on," Nationals manager Davey Johnson joked. "Jayson sometimes can get a little vocal. He thought Gio wasn't covering first. ... The spirits are high. No big deal."
Gonzalez pitched four shutout innings and allowed two hits. He left the game after a one-hour, 17-minute rain delay. Werth went 1-for-4 and scored a run on a sacrifice fly by Kurt Suzuki in the eighth inning.
Both Gonzalez and Werth declined comment on the incident.
"It stays between me and Werth," Gonzalez said.
LaRoche said the incident between Gonzalez and Werth will be forgotten by Wednesday.
"You have a year where we've underachieved and struggled," LaRoche said. "We are around each other all day long. On occasions, tempers are going to flare. Guys are competitive, it's going to happen. They will both be over it tomorrow, so will we."

About the Book
An entertaining history of British thrillers from Casino Royale to The Eagle Has Landed, in which award-winning crime writer Mike Ripley reveals that, though Britain may have lost an empire, her thrillers helped save the world. With a foreword by Lee Child.
When Ian Fleming dismissed his books in a 1956 letter to Raymond Chandler as 'straight pillow fantasies of the bang-bang, kiss-kiss variety' he was being typically immodest. In three short years, his James Bond novels were already spearheading a boom in thriller fiction that would dominate the bestseller lists, not just in Britain, but internationally.
The decade following World War II had seen Britain lose an Empire, demoted in terms of global power and status and economically crippled by debt; yet its fictional spies, secret agents, soldiers, sailors and even (occasionally) journalists were now saving the world on a regular basis.
From Ian Fleming and Alistair MacLean in the 1950s through Desmond Bagley, Dick Francis, Len Deighton and John Le Carré in the 1960s, to Frederick Forsyth and Jack Higgins in the 1970s.
Many have been labelled 'boys' books' written by men who probably never grew up but, as award-winning writer and critic Mike Ripley recounts, the thrillers of this period provided the reader with thrills, adventure and escapism, usually in exotic settings, or as today's leading thriller writer Lee Child puts it in his Foreword: 'the thrill of immersion in a fast and gaudy world.'
In Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang, Ripley examines the rise of the thriller from the austere 1950s through the boom time of the Swinging Sixties and early 1970s, examining some 150 British authors (plus a few notable South Africans). Drawing upon conversations with many of the authors mentioned in the book, he shows how British writers, working very much in the shadow of World War II, came to dominate the field of adventure thrillers and the two types of spy story – spy fantasy (as epitomised by Ian Fleming's James Bond) and the more realistic spy fiction created by Deighton, Le Carré and Ted Allbeury, plus the many variations (and imitators) in between.

MCAT Prep Book
How to Select an MCAT Prep Book?
The medical school admission in the US is mainly based on your MCAT score. Hence, it is not wise to get an average score or a below-average score if you are expecting to enter into one of the best medical schools. It is actually not a difficult task to get a very good test score if you prepare well for the test.
It is better to start the preparation at least three to six months
before the date for which you have registered for the test. You can
prepare for the test either through self-study or through a
professional guidance. Whatever may be your choice, the preparation
book and materials you use matters a lot. The quality of the study
books is very important to make an effective preparation.
Tips to Choose an MCAT Preparation Book

The company offering you the course will definitely provide one of the best study books for the test. However, if you want to use the self-study approach, make sure that you buy a preparatory book of good quality.

COLONIE — Assemblyman Denny Farrell, chairman of the chamber's Ways & Means Committee and (as such) one of its point people on budget matters doesn't think the current $350 million budget shortfall will merit a special legislative session. Gov. Andrew Cuomo has said it "could."
"No. We have a budget. Everything is running," Farrell, former chair of the Manhattan Democratic Party told me at the Democratic State Committee's fall meeting. "A $350 million hole on a $132 billion budget is really not out of balance. It's a correction that can be made with a little twiddle here and a little twaddle there."
The Assembly hast not yet released its mid-year financial estimates, a requirement for the "quick start" budget process to move forward. Cuomo on Wednesday pooh-poohed that Spitzer-era law, calling it an "oxymoron" and saying he was "slightly amused" by people who criticized him for ignoring it. He is, after all, the government.

The fix for this required us to disallow using `super` in a named subject (which is confusing, anyway -- named subjects create 2 methods, so which method on the parent example group are you `super`ing to?) but `super` in an unnamed subject continues to work (Myron Marston). * Do not allow a referenced `let` or `subject` in `before(:all)` to cause other `let` declarations to leak across examples (Myron Marston). * Work around odd ruby 1.9 bug with `String#match` that was triggered by passing it a regex from a `let` declaration. For more info, see http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/8059 (Aaron Kromer). * Add missing `require 'set'` to `base_text_formatter.rb` (Tom Anderson). Deprecations * Deprecate accessing `let` or `subject` declarations in `before(:all)`. These were not intended to be called in a `before(:all)` hook, as they exist to define state that is reset between each example, while `before(:all)` exists to define state that is shared across examples in an example group (Myron Marston).

Azeri, who was bought back for $4.4 million at this year's Keeneland January horses of all ages sale, has been entered in the upcoming Keeneland November breeding stock sale, according to John Sikura of Hill 'n' Dale Sales Agency and Hill 'n' Dale Farms. Owned by the Allen E. Paulson Living Trust, the 2002 Horse of the Year is in foal to Distorted Humor after producing a Ghostzapper filly this year.
"There has been a change in the emphasis of the trust," said Sikura, whose Hill 'n' Dale operation was Azeri's consignor in January and will perform the same duty in November. "The objective now is if the horse is in the sale to sell the horse. The trust has come to an end, and the horses are being liquidated and sold."
Azeri's first foal, once named Vallenzeri but now named Take Control, set a world Thoroughbred auction record when he was a $7.7-million buy-back at the 2008 Keeneland September yearling sale. Hill 'n' Dale was his consignor.
Earlier this year, at the Keeneland sale of 2-year-olds in training, Take Control (by A.P. Indy) was sold for $1.9 million to Kaleem Shah by Eddie Woods, agent.
Azeri's second foal, a filly by Giant's Causeway , is consigned to the Keeneland September yearling sale by Hill 'n' Dale. Hip No. 81 in the auction's catalog, she is scheduled to go through the sale ring on the auction's opening day, Sept. 14.

Bike fitting event
A demonstration of the computerized fitting procedure will be performed on one subject.
Now Bikes & Fitness, 1201 County Road E, Suite 100, Arden Hills, MN 55112.
Please register here: email@example.com - just send me a message (John Ford).
Today's bikes have a variety of sizes, geometries, and numerous handlebar and stem options. During the bike fit process, the fitter can take into consideration each rider's unique body bio-mechanics and essentially bring the bike to the rider rather than bring the rider to the bike. This new way of fitting is called the Dynamic Bike Fit. Today the better bike fitters realize that a static fit system isn't necessarily going to get the rider in the best position.

Gov. Hoffman and the Judiciary.
The only article of the now Constitution submitted to the people at the annual election in 1869, which received their approval, was the one relating to the Judiciary. The Judiciary system, authorized by and inaugurated under the old Constitution, had become obnoxious and oppressive, and was wholly inadequate to the wants of the people.

(Classical and Medieval Literature Criticism)
Eilhart von Oberge fl. late twelfth century-
German poet.
A seminal figure among German courtly poets, Eilhart von Oberge is the author of the oldest complete version of the medieval romance of Tristan and Isolde (or, Tristant and Isalde, in Eilhart's orthography). In his Tristant (c. 1170) Eilhart relates the tale of a tragic love affair between the eponymous Cornish hero and an Irish princess wedded to his uncle. Featuring a protagonist controlled by his predetermined fate, Eilhart's Tristant is viewed by contemporary scholars as an homage to the already declining feudal social order and epic literary style of the medieval period. Because the work is presumed to be the closest among many versions to the narrative of the lost French prose archetype, scholars tend to value Eilhart's rendering of the tale particularly highly. Tristant is frequently studied in conjunction with other adaptations of the same material, including those by the French poet Béroul and the Anglo-Norman bard Thomas of Britain. In addition, the poem is important for its considerable influence on later versions of the story, including Gottfried von Strassburg's Tristan (c. 1210) and its subsequent variations.
Biographical Information
Almost nothing is known about the life of Eilhart aside from his composition of the Tristant. Extant documentary evidence from the court of Braunschweig, including nearby Oberg, suggests that Eilhart may have been a vassal to Duke Heinrich the Lion. Some scholars speculate that he may have been commissioned to write the poem by Heinrich's second wife, Mathilde, but no conclusive proof exists to support this claim. While the majority opinion holds that Eilhart was born at Oberg and lived his life there, it is also possible that he may have composed his famous work elsewhere, or under the direction of another patron. In addition to the paucity of evidence concerning his life and career, no existing records authenticate the time or place of Eilhart's death.
Textual History
Scholars generally regard Eilhart's version of the Tristan story as the most faithful to the original French prose Tristan (speculatively dated between 1150 and 1160), which is now lost. Probably composed in about 1170, Eilhart's poem may have been written as late as 1190, according to some theories. Its survival into the contemporary period relies on a number of sources, including three fragmentary twelfth- to thirteenth-century manuscripts, three redactions from the fifteenth century (all complete), and a late-fourteenth-century Czech translation that includes added material to compensate for missing scenes from Eilhart's version. An extant medieval chapbook also offers a rendering of Eilhart's story in prose outline. Contemporary translations of the Tristant include one in French verse and an English prose adaptation by J. W. Thomas.
Major Works
Eilhart's sole work, the Tristant, depicts the life of the noble warrior Tristant, a peerless knight in service of his uncle, King Mark of Cornwall. Stoic and brave, Tristant brings high honor upon himself by successfully winning battle after battle. His main adversary off the battlefield, King Mark, is usually considered to be a rather conventional villain figure (although some critics have questioned this simplification of his character). The singular object of Tristant's desire, Isalde the Fair, returns the hero's love passionately, but remains unattainable to him because she is married to Mark. For her, love is a form of exquisite suffering, and life without Tristant is inconsequential. In an early encounter in the story, Tristant challenges the Irish duke Morolt, who has unjustly demanded that Cornwall pay him tribute. Engaging in single combat on a small island, Tristant emerges victorious after delivering Morolt a mortal wound to the head. He later learns, however, that Morolt has poisoned him during the battle. Now Tristant must visit Morolt's sister, Queen Isalde of Ireland, in order to acquire an antidote. Healed by the Queen, Tristant subsequently slays a dragon that has been terrorizing the kingdom of Ireland. In return he secures the Queen's daughter, Isalde the Fair, as a bride for King Mark. On the return trip to Cornwall, Tristant mistakenly drinks a love potion prepared by the Irish Queen for her daughter and King Mark and instantly falls in love with the young maiden. After the marriage of Isalde and Mark, the secret affair between Tristant and Isalde becomes the central feature of the tale, as Mark and other jealous noblemen of the Cornish court attempt to catch Tristant and Isalde in adultery. Meanwhile, the King engages a cunning dwarf to set traps for the lovers and gather evidence of their deceit. Eventually, Mark discovers Tristant and Isalde after they have run off to the forest together. Clothed and sleeping, they lie separated by Tristant's sword. Quietly, Mark exchanges the sword for his own (an act they will be certain to notice when they awake) and departs. Afterwards, Tristant is exiled and years pass. The hero marries another woman, but cannot forget his love for Isalde. When it becomes clear that he will never again be with his beloved, he loses his will to live and dies. Shortly thereafter, Isalde arrives to join the mourners of his death. Lying beside his motionless body, she dies as well. In a symbolic denouement, two trees spring up from their graves, their limbs intertwined. In addition to the main action described above, the poem also features several Arthurian interludes, including a visit to the court of King Arthur, a stag hunt, and appearances by other noteworthy knights of the tradition. Scholars perceive the poem only peripherally as a work of Arthurian legend, insisting that such sketches in Eilhart's Tristant occur only briefly, serving to juxtapose an established epic setting with the closer and more problematic court of King Mark. Thematically, Eilhart's Tristant has been viewed as a depiction of heroic valor subverted by reckless passion. The inexorable progress of fate looms large in the poem, demonstrating that nothing can be done to change its path once certain events have transpired, even if seemingly by pure chance. Overall, the poem's theme is thought to hinge on its blending of heroic honor, fate, and passionate love.
Critical Reception
Scholars have traditionally analyzed Eilhart's Tristant alongside other versions of the Tristan legend from roughly the same period, including those by the French poet Béroul, the Anglo-Norman Thomas, and the German Gottfried von Strassburg. Through such comparisons, Eilhart's work has been found generally lacking, whether it be in terms of exposition, character delineation, or thematic development. Thus scholars have variously deemed Béroul's version (with its emphasis on passionate love and high adventure), or Thomas's and Gottfried's more psychological renderings of the Tristan legend as superior to Eilhart's somewhat informal and stylistically simplified verse narrative. Additionally, a number of scholars believe that Eilhart may have omitted some original scenes from the story (later included by subsequent authors) for the sake of clarity or brevity. Such omissions are thought to have contributed to Eilhart's avoidance of psychological depth or motivation in his characterizations, a quality often thought to mar the Tristant. Others have questioned Eilhart's use, or misuse, of narrative motivation in the work. Many commentators have acknowledged a lack of traditional narrative plausibility in Eilhart's Tristant, arguing that the inexplicable and supernatural forces of fate and chance condition and carry the action of the poem. Still others have observed that Eilhart's narrative was perhaps intended primarily as a defense of the feudal social order and its ideology. The author's focus on the inexorable power of destiny, in contrast to his characters' actions or desires, frees Tristant, Isalde, and Mark from guilt or complicity and externalizes the concerns in the story, making it an exemplum of deterministic fate and providential order in action. In this sense, scholars have noted, the poem validates the status quo of feudal hegemony, rather than analyzing the individual merits of its protagonist or other principal figures. Despite all of these objections, a contemporary trend in critical thought on the Tristant has been to question the received view of the poem, and instead to study the work on its own artistic merits. Recalling elements that made the poem popular in a bygone era, late twentieth-century commentators have begun to admire the dynamic qualities of Eilhart's storytelling technique, including his exploitation of narrative intervention to carry the tale, his robust style unimpeded by the demands of psychological motivation, as well as his use of low, whimsical, and almost mock-heroic humor—features almost universally lacking in contemporaneous versions of the story. Minor elements, such as Eilhart's clever use of epithets in delineating character and foreshadowing action, have also been noted. Putting aside discussion of its similarities to or departures from other versions of the tale, commentators on Eilhart's Tristant have instead concentrated on its skilled blend of romantic and epic forms, and have admired its artistic integrity as it traces the heroic arc of Tristant's life and the events culminating in his tragic demise.

Ratings for Dr. Thomas P. Stanley
Wonderful visit with Dr. Stanley, seems like he always takes time to answer any questions, the appointment time was later in the day, and I forgot so he took me in earlier, which I thought was really nice. Overall a great visit!
I went to as a kid ,so has my sisters and brothers and now our kids ..He is the Best!
My daughter has been seeing Dr. Stanley for all of her regular appointments and check-ups since she was about 10 days old. She's also seen some of the other doctors as well as the RNP at Jacksonville Pediatrics, but none compare to Dr. Stanley! No matter how busy the office is he will answer every question you have, never rushes through an appointment, always makes a point to talk to the child and parent individually, makes eye contact with people and is very friendly and professional. He also makes sure to remind you at every visit about the dangers for children that we may overlook, and will encourage you to educate yourself about pediatrics and children's health in general. I absolutely recommend Dr. Stanley and Jacksonville Pediatrics as a whole. Some of the nurses are a bit grumpy, but most are very good at what they do.
My son had an asthma attack and Dr. Stanley met me at his office on an early Sat. morning. What a wonderful kind man! I felt like the worst mother ever, but he was reassuring and professional. He never discounts a parent's view or questions.
Dr. Stanley is great and we have trusted him in some very important decisions in our children's life.
The kids LOVE him and so do we! He is funny, down to earth, and such a great doctor!
Dr. Stanley is very good and friendly with the kids. He can always make them smile. He is very easy going and gentle with them. He takes time out for any questions that I have and always gives me helpful tips for their age.
I worked with Dr. Stanley and he is a great guy. Always friendly and personable. He cares about his patients and staff. If you go to Jax Peds I would request him.
This pediatrician knows what he is doing. I love bringing my kids to see him, and they enjoy it just as much. A smart, funny, and enjoyable person to be around and a helluva doctor

Hi there, 9 year mage player here. The reason I'm making this topic is because of the new alpha patch notes.
One over-arching theme with the Mage changes is that while in any specific specialization, Mages are losing the ability to use multiple important spells while in said specialization.
Examples Below:
Arcane Barrage now replaces Fire Blast for Arcane Mages.
Arcane Blast now replaces Frostfire Bolt for Arcane Mages.
Arcane Explosion is now available only to Arcane Mages.
Blizzard is now available only to Frost Mages.
Combustion now replaces Deep Freeze for Fire Mages.
Deep Freeze is now available only to Frost Mages.
Dragon's Breath now replaces Cone of Cold for Fire Mages.
Evocation is now available only to Arcane Mages.
Flamestrike is now available only to Fire Mages.
Ice Lance now replaces Fire Blast and is only available to Frost Mages.
Mage Armor is now available only to Arcane Mages and is now a passive effect.
Molten Armor is now available only to Fire Mages and is now a passive effect.
Shatter is now available only to Frost Mages.
What's wrong with that you may ask? Let me explain.
As a Mage, kiting is a very intricate skill utilizing every ability at your disposal to control what ever is attacking you or what you're attacking. With these changes, any spec'd Mage will undoubtedly lose out on some of their ability to do so!
A Mage is a master of arcane magic and with such should NEVER be MORE limited in their abilities to use said spells.
There should not be a pruning if none of these spells are mandatory to use. They are situational and give flavor and complexity to the Mage class when used correctly. Anecdotally, I have never come across someone in all my years complaining about the Mage classes bloat of ability.
After 9 years, I am finally thinking of putting down this game, if this is where the class that I've come to love and master is headed.
