Meyer claimed two destroyers sunk and a corvette damaged. In fact the frigates HMS Affleck (Cdr. Clive Gwinner, DSO and Bar, DSC, RN (retired)) and the HMS Capel (Lt. B.G. Heslop, DSC, RN) were hit. The latter sank and the other was towed to port, but declared a total loss. HMS Affleck is not listed as active unit in the July 1945 Navy List After the war the HMS Affleck returned to the US Navy in Britain, where she was sold on 24 January 1947 and served as mercantile hulk Nostra Senora de la Luz until 1970, when she was broken up. |

56K voice modem dial and audio redirect in Java
I am interesting in doing a project using 56K voice modem(normal modems that comes with pcs) to dial connected PSTN. After other party left the receiver, I am hoping to play a music or recorded voice clip to listen to them with the response of therm.
Java is my preferred language and I know that Java Communication API is there for that to control the modem via AT commands. I have already did some testings on this and I can dial the phone line using at commands.
My problem is to receive and send the audio steam from/to modem. If some one having any idea, code, examples, urls or any resource pls share with this forum.

College Football Roundup: 100-yard KO seals Colorado's fate
November 23, 2012
BOULDER – Colorado's hopes for averting its worst season in more than a century were buoyed by Marques Mosley's game-tying 100-yard kickoff return – for all of 13 seconds.That's how long it took Reggie Dunn to return the ensuing kickoff 100 yards for the decisive touchdown as Utah, helped by five takeaways, kept Colorado winless at home this season with a 42-35 victory on Friday.The Utes (5-7, 3-6 Pac-12) intercepted Colorado QB Nick Hirschman four times. Dunn showed his explosiveness once again the only time that he touched the ball during the game, extending his NCAA record with his fifth career 100-yard kickoff return – and fourth this season.The Buffaloes (1-11, 1-8 Pac-12) finished with their worst record since the school's inaugural 0-4 campaign in 1890. They also failed to win a game at home in six tries for the first time since 1920, when they were 0-1-2. It was their first winless campaign ever at Folsom Field, where the Buffaloes have played their home games since 1924.
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Jarvis Landry made a spectacular one-handed touchdown catch and No. 8 LSU kept its BCS hopes alive with a 20-13 win over Arkansas on Friday.Zach Mettenberger passed for 217 yards and hooked up with Landry for the play of the day with 1:12 left in the first half to put LSU up 10-0 on a 22-yard TD pass. The Tigers (10-2, 6-2 Southeastern Conference) reached double-digit wins for the sixth time in eight seasons under coach Les Miles.LSU must now hope for an Alabama loss to Auburn and Texas A&M victory on Saturday in order to reach next weekend's SEC championship game. Even without a division crown, the Tigers could still get an at-large bid to the BCS.Tyler Wilson was 31 of 52 passing for the Razorbacks (4-8, 2-6), whose fall from preseason top 10 is now complete. The senior set the school record for career passing yards in the loss.Arkansas' Cobi Hamilton set the school record for receptions in a career with 175.Wilson passed former Arkansas quarterback Ryan Mallet's mark of 7,493 yards passing in the second quarter, finishing with 359 yards in the game and 7,765 yards for his career, and his 28-yard touchdown pass to freshman Mekale McKay in the third quarter closed the LSU lead to 17-10.
IOWA CITY, Iowa – Rex Burkhead scored the go-ahead touchdown in his return from a knee injury and Nebraska secured a spot in the Big Ten title game.The Huskers (10-2, 7-1 Big Ten) will face off against Wisconsin next Saturday in Indianapolis. It'll be a rematch of Nebraska's thrilling 30-27 home win over the Badgers in late September. Burkhead, making his first appearance since aggravating a sprained left knee on Oct. 20 against Northwestern, broke through with a 3-yard TD run to make it 13-7 late in the third quarter.Alonzo Whaley's interception with 2:11 left sealed the victory for Nebraska. The Huskers defense held the Hawkeyes (4-8, 2-6) scoreless in the final three quarters in windy conditions.Mark Weisman had 91 yards rushing for Iowa, which finished the season on a six-game losing streak. The Hawkeyes will miss out on a bowl game for just the second time since 2000.
KENT, Ohio – C.J. Malauulu returned an interception 33 yards for a touchdown – 12 seconds after another Kent State TD – and the Golden Flashes completed a perfect season in the Mid-American Conference with their 10th straight win.The regular-season finale was a tuneup for Kent State (11-1, 8-0 MAC), which will meet No. 24 Northern Illinois in next week's MAC championship. The win allowed the Golden Flashes to continue the best season in the program's 90-year history. They are ranked for the first time since 1972, the last time they appeared in a bowl game.Trayion Durham rushed for 97 yards and scored on a 15-yard run in the first quarter to put Kent State ahead 14-0.On Ohio's next play, Malauulu picked off Tyler Tettleton and scored.The Bobcats (8-4, 4-4) lost four of their last five after cracking the Top 25.
YPSILANTI, Mich. – Jordan Lynch ran for 107 yards and Akeem Daniels scored a career-best four touchdowns as the Huskies won their 11th straight game.Daniels scored on runs of 25 and 20 yards in the first half and finished with a career-high 112 yards on 12 carries to help the Huskies (11-1, 8-0) cap a perfect run through the Mid-American Conference. Lynch, a week removed from a 407-yard passing performance, was 16 for 25 for 168 yards but extended his FBS record streak of 100-yard rushing games by a quarterback. He had 20 carries to crack the century mark for the 10th straight game.The West division winners will go for a second straight conference title when they face No. 23 Kent State in next week's championship game. The Huskies have defeated 15 straight MAC opponents.Eastern Michigan (2-10, 1-7) tied the game 7-7 late in the first quarter but Northern Illinois needed just 15 seconds to retake the lead on Tommylee Lewis' 93-yard kickoff return.

text: The Day You Realized You Were Getting BoobsDodai Stewart3/18/11 5:20pmFiled to: DevelopmentsBoobsBreastspubertySexTop3442EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkFor many young women, the realization that you're growing breasts is fraught with mixed emotions, including, terror, sadness, shame, anxiety, confusion and excitement. Misty watercolor memories all over the place! AdvertisementReader "thebuffster" suggested we tackle this topic, writing, "I distinctly remember getting made fun of by classmates for getting boobs before they did. My training bra was a great source of mockery."A casual poll of the Jezebels revealed that most of us had fairly harrowing experiences. One of us said:AdvertisementOne of my boobs started growing before the other one and it ended up being the bigger one.The worst part was I thought I had breast cancer in the one that started growing first.Another agreed:When I first started developing, I thought I had breast cancer too! I don't know how my mom delivered the news with a straight face.Yet another confessed:SponsoredI was a relatively late developer, and when my boobs came in on the big side my mom (who is a AA) was really weird about it. She would make me get all these really, really big shirts to cover my "enormous" breasts. Gave me a total complex about it.One of us shared:AdvertisementI thought that I got [them] from hitting myself on the uneven bars and that it would go away. I was a super late bloomer and when I finally started developing beyond what I thought were bruises, I was a junior in high school, and my boobs kept growing and growing through my sophomore year of college. In college choir, they called me "Boobs Mc[Last Name]." As a woman with DDD breasts, I can add to this collection of woeful tales. My flat-chested self read the "I must, I must, I must improve my bust" stuff in Are You There God, It's Me, Margaret with some interest. I remember wanting breasts really badly… until they actually started growing. And growing. And growing. I felt as though my body had betrayed me. My boobs came in fast and large. They were huge, attention-grabbing, and telegraphed my status as a "woman," although I was only 13 and very much a child. Suddenly I was subjected to lewd comments on the street, grotesque leering from creepy men on the bus, and merciless mocking by classmates. Kids I considered to be friends signed my yearbook with messages for "lefty" and "righty," which I found deeply embarrassing. When my mother asked about it, I lied and said it was an inside joke about boxing. Oversized shirts from my father's closet became my uniform. As the eldest child in the family, no one had warned me about the awkwardness or humiliation. My mother was (and is) a late-blooming B cup, and seemed mystified and incredulous at what was happening to me, which only made me feel more self-conscious. I felt myself transition, in the eyes of my peers, from smart, bookish girl into an object of a constant, unwanted, unsolicited sexualized gaze. Ever so slowly, my breasts and I got used to each other. I learned to live with the pain of underwire bras. But even in my early 20s, I stayed covered up, favored flowing tops and avoided anything tight or form-fitting that would involve showing my shape.I'm finally in a place where I enjoy showing some cleavage, but the journey here was long and rough. And I know I'm not alone! Share your funny/sad/harrowing breast bud tales below, and check back here next week for a roundup of the best ones.Reply344 repliesLeave a reply

EA shares have taken a fall of 3% after analyst Brean Murray Carret & Co cut his price on EA stock from to $22 from $28. The drop comes as concerns are being raised over Star Wars: The Old Republic.
Analyst Todd Mitchell has written to clients citing concerns over EA's MMO release adding "Specifically, initial sales appear to be below expectations, and casual observation of early play is causing us to rethink our churn assumptions,"
The analyst comments are certainly contrary to what Bioware and EA are saying since the game released. We're going to have to wait and see what happens once the free months is up for subscribers before passing any judgement on the game's performance.

Kevin, I live in Somerville, Right next to Tufts. I would love to meet up as the time approaches. I can't wait. Nick |
Kevin |
Nick, If you live near Boston, we can probably get together sometime and I can even loan you the flies we used. Even with that boat you will be able to do the flats. All the ones we fished had deep channels right next to them. You could put an anchor on the flat and let the boat stay in deep water without much trouble. Or have your folks drop you off and pick you up later if they aren't into it or decide to dare the Devil's backbone and visit the other side of Eleuthera! Kevin |
Nick |
Kevin, Thanks a ton. My parents are renting a house on Spanish Wells, so I have a place to stay. We are also planning on renting a boat (21 ft mako I think). Not too much of a flats boat, but at least it can get me there. I may have more questions as the time gets nearer, (flies, locations, etc) but since its so far away and I haven't really done much research yet on my own, I'll hold off. Nick |
Kevin |
Nick, I've been down to Spanish Wells twice now. Both times it was March. We stayed at the Adventurer's Resort. A nice place and quite inexpensive. We also rented a boat from them. It turned out to be the owner's boat. We've stayed in touch with the woman who manages the place, so if you need a place to stay, I could send her a note for you. What do you want to go after? We primarily went for bones, but when they weren't around (which seems to happen quite often in March) we had fun jigging for 'cudas in the mangroves. We also didn't use a guide ourselves, but there were a few around. We thought we would do as you plan on our first trip, but we ended up just going to one of the nearby flats the first afternoon and having some luck, so we never did hire one. One of the guides that is around is a real character. His name is A1 Broadshed. A1 is his first name: a buddy got a card from him! I don't know that he guides for bones, but he does take people out to the reef areas to fish. "No fish, no pay" is his motto. I think it is best to have a boat. There is one nice sand flat at the north end of the island and a turtle grass flat at the south end which can be reached without a boat, but that is about it. We liked a large flat near the ferry from North Eleuthera on the North Eleuthera side of the ferry. There is also an amazing area called Corrie Sound a little ways down the coast of Eleuthera. It is a completely sheltered sound, just spectacular. The other islands near Spanish Wells have flats around them as well. That's just some general stuff. Do you have any other specific questions? Juro: the 10wt line was great. It matched the Reddington 990 nti nicely. I will get the next story together too. I haven't forgotten :-) Kevin |
Nick |
Juro, Duh! Thanks, I knew this place sounded familiar to me. My parents are getting a place down there for Christmas week, so that's why I'm going. I love this web page! Nick |
juro |
Nick - First check out the report from Kevin O'Connor in our destinations section http://www.flyfishingforum.com/destinations Kevin has been there again since then with more emphasis on tarpon and permit. We are expecting a second trip report, I'll ping him on it. If I recall others have been there too, a search might do the trick. Our sponsor Gil Berke is a world traveling angler, he might be a great source of info. |
Nick |
Eleuthera I will be heading to Spanish Wells off of Eleuthera for one week around Christmas this year. I am sure the fishing will be good, I was curious if anyone had any advice for me though. Either on the fishing itself or a guide to head towards. I would like to go with a guide early in the trip and then do the rest myself. Thanks for any help! Nick |

Fashion is an industry centered on youth. Want to know the latest trends? Just ask the babysitter who's wrangling your offspring to pay for college while looking like she jumped straight out of your "dream closet" Pinterest board.
Right now the designer hit list is so youthful it reads more like a baby shower registry. Think Peter-Pan collars, Mary Jane flats, bibs, even onesies (you can thank Miley Cyrus for that one). None of which really scream stylish grown-up.
Luckily, youth is fleeting and so is fashion; what's "in" this very second will be "out" by the time you finish reading this sentence. So instead of spending a lot of money on trends that can't be worn next season, invest in the classic and repurpose for the now.
By taking advantage of what is already in your closet, and junk drawer — you know you've got one — you can repurpose a few dated items into one-of-a-kind, custom-made accessories and, more importantly, putting use to useless items will finally validate the slight hoarding tendencies you have developed.
Once you've successfully repurposed one item, you will feel as though the shabby chic gates of the crafting heavens have been opened and you will never discount anything just lying around again. In other words, you'll think twice before tossing out your kids' old art supplies and realize a broken necklace has a much higher calling.
Getting the hang of the whole idea is pretty simple and to help along the way the crafting gods have bestowed upon us a gift, unassumingly called E6000. Do not let the industrial name and look of this adhesive fool you — pageant mothers swear by it for attaching bling to those cupcake dresses. (Hey, if it's good enough for Honey Boo Boo, right?) In addition to a good adhesive, tweezers are another must-have and then the journey begins.
First up, ballet flats: easy, comfortable and (shhh!) cheap. A few years ago the fashion elite smiled upon the poor souls who have to work for a living and declared these glorified slippers acceptable work attire. Before the footwear charade comes to an end, use what you already have to turn your old, broken-in flats into something brand new.
Use your tweezers to effortlessly pick up and arrange rhinestones or beads from an old piece of jewelry around the rim of the ballet flat. Add as many or as few embellishments as you please. Or it may be more your style to add one large brooch to each toe. Just understand that after it dries, E6000 now owns your brooch and your shoe and will never let go.
Statement necklaces are another accessory that's so hot right now but in a few years might seem outlandish (think scrunchies). You will look back and wonder why you spent $50 on big, colorful wind chimes to hang around your neck. But today this is what we want so back to the art supplies, namely felt.
Felt is not just for … well, who knows what felt is officially used for, but it makes a great backing for a homemade statement necklace. Tweezers, check. E6000, check. On two separate pieces of felt, trace and cut out a Peter-Pan collar shape. Using your tweezers, cover one piece of felt in embellishments. An old de-stringed strand of pearls works really well. After the felt is covered, attach the second piece, add two lengths of ribbon to the back and tie one on.
That's right — "tie one on" because now you deserve a drink, at a trendy establishment, wearing your trendy new necklace. So call up the babysitter, and when she asks where you scored such a fabulous find you can reply, "Oh, this old thing? It's just been lying around the house.

Acquisition Part of a Larger Deal That Includes Rights to Star Trek: The Next Generation Premiering June 2, 2008, Plus Charmed, Early Edition, Mork & Mindy and More�
New York, NY � May 5, 2008 � SCI FI Channel has secured off-network cable rights to CBS's Emmy-nominated series, Ghost Whisperer, from CBS Television Distribution, it was announced today by Thomas Vitale, SCI FI's Senior Vice President of Programming and Original Movies. SCI FI will launch the series in the fall of 2009.
In addition, SCI FI will have access to shows in the CBS library, including Star Trek: The Next Generation, which will premiere Monday June 2, 2008 on SCI FI, Charmed, Early Edition, Highlander, Friday the Thirteenth: The Series and the classic sitcom Mork & Mindy, among others.
"'Ghost Whisperer' is an incredible addition to SCI FI's programming inventory," said Thomas Vitale. "The paranormal is very popular with our audience, as evidenced by the huge success of our original series 'Ghost Hunters' and 'Ghost Hunters International,' television's most popular paranormal franchise. As part of SCI FI's primetime lineup, 'Ghost Whisperer' will appeal to our existing audience, while bringing in new viewers, including more women."
SCI FI will air Ghost Whisperer in a weekly 4-hour primetime stack beginning in the fall of 2009. SCI FI will be the only place on television to see weekly mini-marathons of the show. The Channel will also schedule programming stunts with full-day marathons. SCI FI will simulcast Ghost Whisperer in HD.
In Ghost Whisperer, Jennifer Love Hewitt stars as Melinda Gordon. Melinda communicates with earthbound spirits, ghosts who cling to the living because they have unfinished business that prevents them from moving beyond the familiar earthy plane of existence. The series is inspired in part by the work of famed mediums James Van Praagh and Mary Ann Winkowski. It explores the spiritual side of life and death as Melinda navigates among the living and the dead in her chilling sometimes heart-rending and sometimes amusing attempts to act as an intermediary between the ghosts and those they haunt.
Ghost Whisperer is produced by Sanders/Moses Productions in association with ABC Studios and CBS Paramount Network Television. It premiered September 23, 2005 on CBS.
SCI FI Channel is a television network where "what if" is what's on. SCI FI fuels the imagination of viewers with original series and events, blockbuster movies and classic science fiction and fantasy programming, as well as a dynamic Web site (www.scifi.com ) and magazine. Launched in 1992, and currently in 93 million homes, SCI FI Channel is a network of NBC Universal, one of the world's leading media and entertainment companies.

The first national Bike to School Day took place this Wednesday, May 9, including participation from the Warren High School Cycling Club and two other secondary schools in the area. The entire month of May, in fact, is National Bike Month, and National Bike to Work Day is next Friday, May 18. (Except for the San Francisco area, where they seem to be celebrating it on Thursday, May 10.)Despite the fact that I've been retired for about a year and a half, I thought it would be interesting to experience riding a bike to my old workplace in Culver City, about 35 miles round trip from my house in Downey. Let me be clear that I'm not an athlete, and certainly not a competitive cyclist, though I have been riding a bicycle as my primary, if not exclusive, mode of transportation for most of the past year. My limit has been about a twelve mile radius, including occasional bicycle commutes to downtown Los Angeles. So the idea of a thirty-five mile ride out and back frankly made me a little nervous. For starters, I checked my usual source for locating a route to a destination I'm not familiar with on my bike--namely, Google Maps. If you haven't already noticed, Google Maps has a bicycle option under directions, although they clearly note that bike directions are still in beta. These directions sent me zig-zagging to the north and west towards USC and the closest stop for L.A. Metro's new Expo Line, destined eventually for Santa Monica, but currently taking passengers as far west as La Cienega Boulevard, just a few blocks away from my old work address. (I figured I'd parallel the Expo Line, just in case I ran out of gas--so to speak.) Google Maps, it turns out, is uncannily savvy about how it picks routes for bicyclists. Specifically, it looks for ways to keep you off the major thoroughfares and on less traveled streets, including even sending you down alleys that parallel major arterials (street engineering lingo for principal throughways). This can be good news and bad news, because these alleys don't have names, and sometimes Google sends you in directions and down streets without names that don't seem to exist. So I ended up mostly guessing my way until I finally reached Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, which heads west towards Exposition Blvd., then Jefferson Blvd., all of which were familiar to me. I turned the corner onto King Boulevard, when, what to my wondering eyes should appear!?!?! But a bike lane. A bike lane! Right before me on a major Los Angeles city street. Thank you, Martin! I indulged this eighth wonder of the world until I headed into Exposition Park, with its astonishing Rose Garden, the Sports Arena, Coliseum, and the Museum of Natural History, coming out the other side to Exposition Boulevard, and--lo and behold!--another bike lane! Turns out with the development of the Expo Line that both Exposition and Jefferson Boulevards (Thank you, Thomas!) have been outfitted with bike lanes all the way to La Cienega. So I luxuriated in the comfort of my own travel space until the last few blocks on National Boulevard in Culver City. Returning, I discovered two more bicycle amenities that signal the future of bicycle transportation--literally. At two red lights on the return bike route there were weight triggers for bikes under the asphalt. By standing on the designated lines, my weight along with the bike's communicated a signal change to the red light, where normally I would expect to have to become a pedestrian in order to get a light change at the crosswalk. This was my first real-life experience of a growing number of traffic devices now being implemented to facilitate bicycle travel. To put my experience in perspective for further discussion, I would offer a few observations. First, I wore a helmet, universally recommended by bicycle advocates everywhere. Second, I observed all traffic regulations. (OK, maybe a few California stops on the back streets, but NEVER when another vehicle was in sight.) By the way, without exception, whenever I came to a four-way stop at the same time as a motorized vehicle, the driver deferred to me. Third, I took Google Maps' advice--as I always do--and stayed on the back streets as much as possible. Even Exposition and Jefferson Boulevards have less traffic than some of the north-south streets I've experienced riding to L.A., such as Santa Fe and Alameda. (I suppose most of the east-west traffic was gridlocked on the I-10.) This leads us to our next topic, as requested by Patriot reader, Mr. Paul Duran. Next time we'll look at bicycle rules and some elements of common courtesy between bicyclists and drivers as we share the road together.

Big Brother 17 Updates 9 to 10 pm BBT "Whose Side is She On? Tuesday 9/8/15
OK I could live without Austin and Liz making out, so moving on.
JM in the hammock. Nothing else going on. Still no sign of Steve. I'll stay here for now. Anything has to be better than the noisy kiss face. JM still swinging. No one else around but the kissy faces. Julia folded some laundry in the bedroom and is talking to Vanessa about nothing. OH She went into to look for her BC (birth control I gather.) Keep freezing here.
Julia is now talking to Austin and Liz. Talking about cats or dogs or something.
They are talking about Austin's tats.
They are talking about Gabrielle on Desperate Wives. AND HERE IS STEVE. Wanders in without a word. JM still in the hammock. Van probably still in bed. I think A is talking about the Bold and Beautiful. Now they are on about his Judas thing and everyone thought he had a spinal injury, but it was just routine hip surgery. (same conversation he had with Van the other day). Steve has got up and wandered away.
Steve in the hammock with JM. Can't hear them. Something about a name mentioned during DE and Steve won't say because it keeps it cleaner. Steve asks if he has talked to Austin. No. But Austin has decided he will do whatever the twins decide. Steve says he hopes JM wins next week and says you shouldn't have thrown this week to me. JM says they would come after him. Now they are talking about dates and JM has to study them in case it is a ? comp. They said because they were locked out that there will be eviction. Tomorrow veto Sun eviction HOH noms. Wed will be veto and eviction. This is what they think. He wonders if Steve could win final HOH but it doesn't' matter. Veto is the money in f4.
They are talking about AP (far as I know there hasn't been one). JM laughs and says if i was you couldn't tell me anyway. They think America is voting on something. If they are it is news to me. Steve says if he is right that something is up it is a new thing. JM says he is confident there is no AP. JM still at the hammock. Steve is munching on something in the bathroom. They are talking about feeders not screen shooting them with a mask on. Austin comes in. They are talking about speeches. Who straightens their hair before they go to bed???
Van in the bedroom talking to (Ican't see) JM. She is talkng numbers and what do we tell Steve. JM says it it was physical? Liz falls in comps, she says that Liz was trying to throw it to Julia and it has happened twice. She says they made mistakes and ended up winning anyway. She says Liz unfocussed because of the romance. She says the odds are if they win and Steve doesn't win veto they are ok.
I can't make sense of her, or what her point is, never mind what side she is on (other than her own).
She wonders if he has talked to Steve. We will tell Steve we are cool with it. A twin comes in and says that if that is what you want we will vote to keep your sister. (I think it's Liz) She says she will cry when she sees Julie and the goodbyes. They say ask Steve what will happen, they say everything Steve says has been wrong. (he is playing chess lookalike Austin with him. OK out, not much going on now.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Here's all you need to know about Netflix ( NFLX).
No. 1. The same flavor of irrationality --Netflix's Business Model Isn't Sustainable -- Seeking Alpha, April 5, 2011. Prepare to Buy Netflix Before It Rises From the Dead -- TheStreet, July 30, 2012. Netflix Will Hit $300, Go Out of Business or Both -- TheStreet, January 17, 2013.Timestamp it: NFLX will hit $300 by summer. Why? Because Reed Hastings has fired up the smoke-and-mirrors machine yet again. So, No. 2. Netflix has an excellent product. As somebody who covers the stock and subscribes to the service, there's no question the Netflix of 2013 is worlds better than the Netflix of 2011 from a content standpoint. As Reed Hastings explains in the company's Q42012 Letter to Shareholders, Netflix has found its content sweet spot. It owns KidsTV. It has become an excellent outlet for prior seasons of current television shows (e.g., "Mad Men"). It's about to roll the dice on original programming. And you'll be hard-pressed to find its most popular movies and television shows on competing services such as Hulu and Amazon ( AMZN) Prime.
In the past, we have managed our content licensing agreements such that cash payments in any quarter do not exceed 110% of the P&L expense (in other words, if our P&L expense was $200 million in the quarter, our cash payments for content would not exceed $220 million in the quarter). As we shared on our last earnings call, our original programming will require more up-front cash payments than most other content licensing agreements, raising this ratio (of cash to P&L for content) to as high as 120% in certain quarters with material originals payments. The bulk of our remaining cash payments for our current originals will be in Q1, driving FCF materially more negative than Q4, and then FCF will improve substantially in subsequent quarters.So free cash flow is plummeting. Spending continues to escalate. And cash is, once again, getting tight:
In addition, we are exploring taking advantage of the current low interest rate environment to refinance our $200 million in outstanding notes and raise additional cash through new debt financing. This would give us additional reserves as well as increased flexibility to fund future originals.After Netflix raised cash at the end of 2011, it had $508 million in cash and cash equivalents. That was up from $160 million in the previous quarter. The big jump came because Netflix raised funds in a pair of dilutive financing deals. At the end of 2012, that cash number continued to trend lower, down to $290 million. (Data from Netflix Q42012 financial statements, available at the company's investor relations' Web site).

Elusive return predictability
- Authors
- Disciplines
Investors' searches for successful forecasting models cause the data generating process for financial returns to change over time, which means that individual return forecasting models can, at best, hope to uncover evidence of 'local' predictability. We illustrate this point on a suite of forecasting models used to predict US stock returns, and propose an adaptive forecast combination approach. Most of the time the forecasting models perform rather poorly, but there is evidence of relatively short-lived periods with modest return predictability. The short duration of the episodes where return predictability appears to be present and the relatively weak degree of predictability even during such periods makes predicting returns an extraordinarily challenging task.

Dog Psychology 101 – Grandma is mauled by her own dog and she still keeps ferociously loving and defending them…
You won't believe that post.
I promise you; it's not made up. Really.
"Grandmother on fixed income,
has lost many teeth,
and my smile!"
I was really curious about Grandma Linda and her extreme behavior on this site, always reverencing dogs and blaming the 'haters'. It was over the top, even for the average type of regular dog owner of today, that seems to be the vast majority.
So, I did a little research on her.
Nothing found on Facebook that could conclusively prove that one of the people I found there was her.
I was just about to give up, as it was meant to be only a quick search, not a thorough investigation, when I remembered I could use one last trick. And that worked! I found her! At least one comment that, as I said, you won't believe, but is true. Would be comic, if not tragic, as it is.
That is, by Grandma Linda herself:
"I'm 64, and until my dog chewed up my upper partial, I at least had some teeth on top that preserved my beautiful smile. My grandchildren now say I don't smile anymore, and it pains me for sure! A few of the teeth that broke off, still have the roots in the gums. I can make small monthly payments, but who will help me?"
Again, I didn't make that up.
That request for close-to-free medical assistance because of a dog mauling – her own dog – was posted on September 23, 2011 – 6:02 PM at Dr. Oogle – The Best Dentist Guide – By Patients for Patients, well before we came to know her, or when this website didn't even exist.
I'm not the kind of person to poke fun on people suffering from catastrophic events, even by dogs, and I'm not, but this case is absolutely worth mentioning. It was catastrophic as an event by itself, but not traumatizing for her, as it seems.
I was not expecting to find that, at all. Surely I was suspicious that I'd see some compromising stuff, but not that.
What can we learn from this tragedy?
What can we get out of this story? Well, that dog owners, pooch lovers, canine apologists and the like are persons with extreme mental problems. Clear psychological issues.
They can not deny that anymore, although they will, for sure.
Worse, they undoubtedly will claim that us the 'haters' are the ones who suffer from a mental disorder.
Normal people can clearly see who are who.
This is not an isolated case, as ODORs will certainly say, we can find numerous comments that support this assertion. Please find some on the links at the bottom of this page.
Stockholm Syndrome from dogs?
Is that a case of Stockholm Syndrome as well?
No, it's not. At least not exactly, let's keep it this way.
According to the Merriam-Webster Medical Dictionary, the Stockholm Syndrome is, summarized, defined as:
The psychological tendency of a hostage to bond with, identify with, or sympathize with his or her captor.
Grandma Linda above was not a hostage (actually she was the captor of the dog that mauled her) but had and still has a clear "psychological tendency… to bond with, identify with, or sympathize with… her " mauler!
To me, that is an obvious mentally challenged person – a regular dog owner of today.
PS. Before you all canine apologists who consider yourself Responsible Dog Owners start to call me all names, please read this post here and then, only then, decide if you are a normal person an still want to scold me.
If you are fully responsible, as in the previous link, then congratulations; you are Not a regular dog handler as Grandma Linda unfortunately is.
You will surely enjoy these pages, too:
► Stupid Comments – Mentally Disturbed dog owners.
► "Dog Haters, You are So Arrogant!" – Stupid Comments
► Excuses from Dog Owners – Lies, Tactics, Accusations…
Ps 2. I just noticed that without this exact paragraph here, at the time of first publishing right now, this post has exactly 666 (six hundred and sixty six words), the number of the beast, something that Grandma Linda and her doggists colleagues love to venerate. Again, I did not make any adjustments for that to happen. Coincidence?

Archives Assistant
Or Assistant Archivist. They're one and the same, right? Not exactly! An archive assistant can be the first rung on the ladder to becoming an archivist, usually undertaking a professional qualification on route. Whereas, an assistant archivist is usually your first job after qualifying as an archivist.
Entry for archive assistant posts is very competitive. Many promising archivists seek relevant experience to beef up their CV, and archive collections (repositories) welcome volunteers. Although vital for self-promotion, it's not the most glamorous of jobs. But can provide a vital foot in the door. Expect to get your hands dirty, shifting boxes around, scanning documents and all sorts of other manual stuff. And we should warn you, trainee positions are not always paid.
The Archives and Records Association has a list of employers who offer work experience placements, both formal paid employment and unpaid volunteering opportunities.
Key Responsibilites
Directing and assisting all users with their enquiries and research in the public search room
Responding to telephone, e-mail and written requests from researchers and members of the public
Assisting with the care and preservation of archive collections and maintaining good order in the strong rooms.
Assist with cataloguing related activities such as numbering andlisting of documents and with inputting of data into databases
Supporting the development and maintenance of digital resources, including handling, scanning and digital manipulation
Locating the required archives in response to requests
Preparing presentations, displays and exhibits and giving talks to special interest groups
Producing teaching materials
Starting salary
Pre-qualification salaries are typically around £17,000.
Potential earnings
The Archives and Records Association recommend that the minimum salary paid to recently qualified archivists should be £21,937. Could potentially reach £35,000 for qualified and experienced assistant archivists.
Entry requirements
Basic literacy and numeracy skills although 'trainee' posts will require a degree
Essential skills
Employers themselves look for good communicators that can relate well to people. You need to be good presenters and confident talking to groups of people. Logical, flexible and forward thinking are another must.
Professional qualifications
There are a number of postgraduate courses in archives administration and records management, including entry-level qualifications for people new to the profession, as well as full-time Masters and distance learning courses.
A list of qualifications recognised by the Archives and Records Association is published and updated on their website
. Currently, courses are available at:
University College London
University of Northumbria at Newcastle
University of Wales, Aberystwyth
University of Liverpool

I am basically obsessed with everything Sofia of Branco Prata touches, so when I saw this pretty -as-can-be Portugal shoot I stopped everything I was doing to soak it all in. Because between the flowers, the scenery, the gorgeous tablescape and the perfect stationery – I can barely contain my happiness. Add the fact that Anneli Marinovich's images are so beautiful I could cry, and ladies and gents, we have a winner on our hands. See it all here.
From Anneli… Working with amazing Portuguese stylist Sofia from Branco Prata, we came up with the concept of a rustic bridal shoot set at one of the most beautiful wedding venues in Mafra, Portugal – Quinta de Sant'Ana. Making the most of the golden afternoon sunlight and yellow walls at the venue, the shoot was warm and definitely inspired by Portugal – showcasing rustic candle holders & Portuguese tiles on the sweetheart table, as well as stationery designed by Sofia from Branco Prata, drawing inspiration from Portuguese tile patterns. The bride's bouquet was also quite rustic and incorporated lots of orange and yellow to tie in with the overall look & feel of the shoot. With two looks and a beautiful wedding gown from Sabina Motasem, our bride wore a soft & colourful flower crown at first, followed by a more elegant hairstyle & a gorgeous beaded belt to add some sparkle to the gown. Our groom looked dashing in his dark navy suit & bow tie, with a button hole pulling through the golden tones from the shoot. The overall feel of the shoot will hopefully inspire brides & grooms to have their destination wedding at a gorgeous outdoor wedding venue like this one, where the best of Portugal – beautiful vineyards and a rustic estate overlook the village of Gradil creating the perfect setting for a relaxed, outdoor wedding inspired by the rustic beauty of Portugal.

"I am so excited to give this notepad to my mother-in-law for her birthday later this month! She has about everything in the world one could possibly want, so thinking of thoughtful and useful gifts for her is sometimes a challenge. When I saw this 5 X 7 notepad that could be personalized not only with her name but family photographs, I knew it would be the perfect gift! I chose the colorful filmstrip notepad because I could insert 5 photos, and she has 4 grandchildren and a dog that she treats like a grandchild. :) Creating the notepad was easy and I was thrilled when it arrived. The quality was very good, the paper thickness was exceptional and I know she is going to be so happy when she unwraps this gift!"
"I created this notepad for my mom last Christmas and put it in her stocking. She loved it and couldn't believe all the pictures on it. Shutterfly is my go-to for unique gifts for everyone and they did not disappoint with this affordable notepad. It's the perfect size for someone to put on their desk at work or by the phone for messages. The paper is sturdy and the adhesive part doesn't come apart from the paper or cardboard backing."
"Excellent quality, super quick turn around, and all as a free gift! You are pretty smart Shutterfly...I would have never ordered this out of the blue and am definitely going to reorder after getting one. Great gift ideas! My Grandkids will love seeing themselves on Grandma's notes!"
"love everything i buy from shutterfly and so do my family and friends. I always get compliments on all our photo cards!"
"I am very pleased with these cards. The paper is thick and feels high quality, as do the envelopes. The pictures are printed well and look great. The 3x5 size is just right for a thank-you card."

Shtick & Soul
Monica Lewinsky may be the best thing to happen to comedy since Viagra, but for Al Franken she's a must to avoid. "It's hard to do a smart joke about a blowjob, especially when there are eight or nine blowjob jokes on TV every night," he sighs. "I deliberately stayed away from it in the book."
The book is Why Not Me? The Inside Story of the Making and Unmaking of the Franken Presidency, in which Al wins by a landslide only to choose an entirely Jewish cabinet, a portent of the gaffes that will lead to his resignation after only 144 days. Replete with visual send-ups (such as the cover of a Bob Woodward tell-all called The Void), Franken's book hearkens back to those memorable moments on Saturday Night Live when he invited viewers to send their tax receipts to "me, Al Franken."
But it's also a kinder, gentler sequel to his surprise bestseller, Rush Limbaugh Is a Big Fat Idiot and Other Observations. That scathing attack on the right wing's gift to gonzo has no doubt earned Franken the title Antichrist among a certain set of Dittoheads. The question of which male Jew is the Antichrist brings a more modest response than he might have delivered on SNL: "I thought it was Marvin Hamlisch, until the Teletubby thing, and now I think it's Harvey Fierstein."
Franken's multimedia empire which currently includes Lateline, the first prime-time sitcom inspired by Ted Koppel is a tribute to the power of smart shtick. Franken's comedy, like Harry Shearer's, is honed on the increasingly porous boundary between fact and fiction, culture and politics. But, like Garrison Keillor's monologues, it also features an irresistible persona. If Keillor is the rueful cosmopolitan looking homeward, Franken plays the hapless naïf who intrudes upon events beyond his comprehension, but who manages, through sheer narcissism, to skewer all cant. It's a classic comedy pose, but with an edge of aggro. To gaze at Franken's face is to see the schlemiel who's about to give you such a zetz.

This soulful yet seditious stance is what distinguishes Franken's comedy from the sado stand-up of the right. If inflicting punishment is the conservative version of therapy, liberals heal through transgressive irony. Unfortunately, a generation out of power has turned that kickass wit into exculpatory earnestness, a stance that doesn't usually lend itself to yuks. But if there's a crisis of liberal comedy, it hasn't gotten through to Franken. "I've always been liberal and I guess I've always been funny, so it never occurred to me that liberals aren't funny," he maintains."Besides, all the comedians I grew up with Godfrey Cambridge, Dick Gregory were leftists, so I've always thought of it the other way."
It may be a harbinger of changing times that the past few years have seen a modest revival of this tradition. The mass-marketing of Michael Moore suggests there's a public again for the kind of liberal comedy that doesn't throw the issues in anyone's face without being wickedly hilarious. That's why Franken's attack on Rush was so refreshing. Not only did it capture Limbaugh's reckless disregard of the facts, but it was funny not lardass-funny like Howard Stern; funny the way a well-timed political joke is. You laugh because the very act of successful mockery gives you a sense of possibility. When Franken's book sold more than a million copies last year, it dawned on the media that the icons of the right were vulnerable. That makes him a hero of the culture wars, though he begs off that honor (perhaps because it conjures up bullwhips and smeared chocolate). Still, Franken does acknowledge that "the Rush book was a liberal screed. I meant it to be a political act."
With a press pass and a puckish grin, he's insinuated himself into a number of unlikely events, from the most recent GOP convention to the impeachment trial (where he was escorted out of a press conference for asking Phil Gramm an intemperate question). In his faux-naïf persona, he's been known to inquire about the fate of passengers on a plane whose pilot ascends to heaven in the Rapture. "I once told Ralph Reed I was a little worried that, after the Rapture, the Christian Coalition might be understaffed. I said, 'I don't know how you're going to get your voter guides out.' " Reed laughed and walked away.
Of course, one reason Franken is able to enter such charmed circles is that he doesn't raise the specter of sexuality. His act is clean without seeming puritanical, and he guards this balance like a Congressman hoarding pork. "That's rough," he says when I show him Art Spiegelman's New Yorker cover of a cop at a shooting gallery gunning down cutout citizens. "It's hard to handle some things without being rough." Like the Juanita Broaddrick story: "I've been playing with stuff, but I keep stepping on it." Perhaps that's because rape is hard to do shtick on, or perhaps it's because, though Franken admits that "Clinton acted in a bad way, he's our guy." At any rate, Clinton seems to understand that it's more important to charm comics then pundits, since he's met Franken several times.
That Al considers Bill a liberal implies a definition of the word that bypasses much of the agenda it's acquired over the past 30 years. "If you believe in Medicare and Social Security, you're liberal," Franken says. "These are people who believe government has a role to play in caring for people." That rubric also describes what's liberal in Franken's comedy and it's a quality he shares with Clinton. There's a certain tendresse to his tummling, and nowhere is that more evident than in Stuart Smalley, the 12-stepping nebbish with a heart of guilt. This character has become so intimately associated with Franken that he can't go anywhere without people asking him to speak in Smalley's voice.
"Stuart is the most vulnerable character I do," he says. But like the pushy putz Franken plays when he crashes political events, Stuart also manages to speak truth to power. And his fragile masculinity is the most daring thing in Franken's comedy. It's a temperament that could only be evoked by someone who knows Al-Anon from the inside, as Franken does. Then, too, Stuart is an homage to the petit-bourgeois life Franken saw as a child, growing up prosperous in Minnesota. It's his attempt to revisit Lake Wobegon.
His current digs on the Upper West Side have an oddly midwestern ambience, as if the furniture were transported from Chicago piece by mahogony piece. But instead of the ceremonial piano, there are book cases filled with quality fiction, and hanging on the walls are portraits of great-grandparents from some nameless Russian shtetl. Here are the trappings of a fiercely held identity that stands apart from the characters Franken plays, but informs them all. Jewishness hovers over his act, undermining any tendency to be saccharine and turning punch lines into the sinews of character. This ability to combine shtick and soul is certainly not a uniquely Jewish trait, but perhaps the knack for knowing exactly how far the envelope can be pushed has something do with the subtle precariousness of being a Hebrew from the heartland. Maintaining an exquisite balance between the demon and the dweeb has made it possible for Franken to mainstream the L-word. He's Seinfeld with a conscience, bringing menschiness to prime time.
As Al leaves to "do Conan," I promise not to make him seem tendentious. There's a brief, blank pause before he gives me the slightest zetz, a tweak you'd reserve for someone less evil than Rush but more pretentious. "I wouldn't want to seem tendentious," Franken replies. Just funny will do.

$3.2 Million Title V Grant Awarded to Union County College and Kean University
Tuesday, August 26, 2014
Cranford, NJ, Aug. 25, 2014—College students at Union County College and Kean University will receive a big boost, thanks to a just-announced five-year, $3.2 million federal Title V grant.
The award enables Union County College to partner with Kean University to develop a multi-faceted program focusing on increasing the success rates of students in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) disciplines.
Title V funds are allocated through US Department of Education to strengthen institutions that serve a high proportion of Hispanic and low-income students. The grant funds institutional capacity to benefit all students, but especially colleges like Union, which has a long record of achievement as a federally designated Hispanic Serving Institution.
One of the key goals of this Cooperative Grant with Kean will be to develop a pathway from the associate degree at Union to a bachelor's degree at Kean for Title V students in STEM disciplines.
Union's President Margaret McMenamin says the program is in line with federal educational priorities. "President Obama is calling for a diverse 21st-century, STEM-trained workforce. To that end, our partnership with Kean University will develop a strong model of transfer and articulation to promote the success of Title V students in STEM education. Once these students earn an associate degree at Union and a bachelor's degree at Kean, they will enter the workforce in a STEM-related career or as a teacher of STEM disciplines."
The project has multiple components. One objective is to improve student retention, graduation, and transfer rates. To accomplish this goal, Kean and Union will create a joint-admissions agreement involving these Title V students.
"With Union County College's designation as an HSI and Kean University's selection as one of the top 5 most diverse colleges in the country, Kean and Union County College are natural partners for this Title V grant," said Dr. Dawood Farahi, Kean University President. "Both colleges have a long history of serving our region's diverse student population and providing our students with access and opportunity."
One of the more innovative features of the project that Kean will provide is a 'Possibility Zone' which will afford Title V students with faculty mentors for STEM research activities. The project's other major focus is on improving the way faculty teach STEM disciplines. Union's Chief Academic Officer Maris Lown explains that the project funds "professional development that advances innovative pedagogy. This includes providing dedicated learning laboratories and equipment to offer students hands-on inquiry-based discovery in learning."
Grant funding will continue through 2019. Dr. Farahi and Dr. McMenamin credit federal legislators (Senators Robert Menendez and Cory Booker, and Congressmen Albio Sires and Leonard Lance), State legislators (Senator Raymond Lesniak, Assemblyman Jerry Green), and the Union County Freeholder Chairman Christopher Hudak for supporting this grant.
"Our elected officials understand and appreciate the value of education in turning around the lives of the County students who are most at risk due to financial hardships," said President McMenamin. "Title V is a pathway to a better life for hundreds of Union County College students each year."

August 17, 2010 Prospectus PerspectiveA Rose is a Rose is a... Rozelle?
If by fiat we stopped regular-season play on Sunday, we'd get just two repeat entries in the playoff picture: the ubiquitous Yankees, and the Twins. We could get a third repeater in the Phillies, but they'd have to settle for slipping in as a wild card, not the division champ, and then only after a one-game playoff with the Giants, who would certainly qualify as newbies if they trounced the two-time defending pennant winners. Even that understates the potential for turnover: Change the point in time at which we might arbitrarily end the season by a few days this way or that, and you could wind up with seven new playoff teams instead of five. This isn't a recent development, of course. Turn to the same point of the season last year, and you'd be making much the same proposition as far as 2009 versus 2008. Once again, you'd have two new teams in the AL (with the Rangers or the Red Sox replacing the Rays, and the Tigers replacing the White Sox), and you'd "just" have two new teams in the NL, with the Cardinals unseating the Cubs and the Rockies replacing the Brewers for the wild card, and with three more clubs besides in the running for the wild card slot at the least. To some extent, this sounds a lot more revolutionary than it really is. The American League's shorter field also boasts fewer plausible contenders, for all of the pre-season enthusiasm for exotic longshots like the Mariners or Indians, or the Tigers' eventual decision to give the leftovers of their 2006 pennant winner one last shot. The National League has turnover, but generally within a slightly broader field of usual suspects. In a way, this isn't unlike the phenomenon of the sheer number of teams and players contributing to a sense that there is that much more player movement—whether we're talking about the numbers of contenders or transactions, the raw numbers get to be bigger, contributing to a sense that there's more. More contenders, more movement, more action, and more parity.
Consider the fields from the last three years at this time of year, as well as the year before:
Setting aside the National League for a moment, consider the situation in the AL. The slow changing of the guard in the West from the Angels to the Rangers is something many analysts have been anticipating; maybe losing Kendry Morales for the year or the total implosion of Scott Kazmir helped abbreviate this switch, but the Angels' previous, historic capacity to reliably exceed their projected records the last three seasons simultaneously suggested their ultimate vincibility as soon as the going got tough.* The Twins are riding high at present in the Central, but you could say the same of the White Sox two weeks ago. Plot twists seem to be the division's destiny as a matter of course, and between them, the two teams have have four of the last five AL Central titles. This year, that will become five out of six. What's going on in both divisions isn't especially dynamic or ephemeral. Which leaves us with yet another three-way duel in the AL East for the title and the wild card slot. As races go, it's a lot more exciting in the abstract than the actual—our third-order projected standings suggest we ought to have a three-way death race with a barely-there two-game separation between glory and being no better off than the Blue Jays. Reality's a tougher proposition, but the Red Sox' injury-marred bid to keep up with the Yankees and Rays might mask their ability to catch up more effectively than the tough proposition of a one-in-four shot from our Playoff Odds Report calculates. This year's probability that we wind up with the Yankees and Rays just means we'll get the third of the three potential slates for the two slots. It's exciting and interesting, but it's parity for some, not all. Instead, as ever, it's the National League where broader possibilities for death or glory reside. You'll notice a couple of obvious missing teams from the 2008 side of things: those are Mets- and Snakes-sized holes. Both clubs subsequently blew it down the stretch in '08, and haven't been really seen since. Similarly, the Cubs and Brewers were at the end of the line by 2008, so the 2009 season wound up with a smaller slate as a result, and it's into that growing vacuum that you could argue the Padres and Reds have stepped in. It's interesting to notice that a big difference in the NL East at this stage of the season is that this time around the Braves aren't underperforming this year, while the Phillies aren't overperforming, creating a tighter race that the underlying fundamental performance of the two teams over time suggests has been there all along. This year's NL field is especially entertaining because, as we went in Monday night's action, you have six teams within four games, spread evenly two per division. That real-world pack finds its analog in the interpretive data—the Braves with a grouping that tight, I'd suggest that nobody is an easy favorite for survival. The Giants may have just lost a series to the Padres, for example, but they've got seven more bites at that particular apple, plenty of head-to-head play within which to alter the current state of affairs. And best we count out the Rockies and Dodgers altogether, recent history provides plenty of epic in-season comebacks, like the Rockies' run in 2007 or the Tigers' swoon in '09, stupendous enough to squelch any effort to say it's over before it's over. A couple of questions come from these observations. If the American League's field seems somewhat static or slowly changing over time, the National League's more dynamic spread reflects the real opportunities that exist. The Padres' brass saw what they did down the stretch last season, and decided to take their 2010 chances seriously, a decision justified by the league-relative decline of some of the other entries in the field. The Reds' opportunity was even more narrowly focused: The Cardinals aren't a 100-win team, the Cubs and Brewers had issues, so why not the Reds? Parity in the National League is simultaneously the product and the symptom of viable short-term exercises in hope and faith, because there is no extreme imbalance the way there is in the AL East: You can get to the dance and have a real shot at a pennant, not just the right to lose to the AL East in October. This slow development during the latter stages of the age of Czar Bud the Only has certainly been brag-worthy in its way, to the point that the man himself touted it to the Fourth Estate at the All-Star break, and for good cause, even dignifying the recommendations of that domesticated dog-and-pony show, the tenuously independent Blue Ribbon Panel of a decade ago, with some credit for the happier present. Obviously, a Rozelle by any other name smells just as sweet. To borrow a term from Keith Woolner, does this really mean that the competitive ecology of baseball changed for the better? Yes and no, but for the most part, I'd argue that it has been and remains mostly a National League phenomenon, because at least there, you have some turnover. Teams like the Tigers or Astros, or the Mets and the Cubs, have tried to patch up veteran contenders of mid-Aughties vintage, and generally failed, but that doesn't mean they were wrong to try. In the abstract, more teams with realistic late-season bids are supposed to make for better late-season attendance in more venues; if even a by-blow yields up a more plausible pitch for season ticket sales and local-market revenues, then the industry-wide benefit of more teams profiting from playing relevant ballgames (or nearly so) seems fairly obvious. More local revenues equals more money to kick into the revenue-sharing kitty. They say that victory has many fathers, but defeat is an orphan. I suppose opening matters up to a wider field of aspiring sires creates enough action and puts so much cash in the till that you can see baseball as Babylon or Mammon, or both, or just keep things American by combining the two and calling it Mae West. As ever, there's the element of geographic determinism, but it's relatively minor, in that it's a problem for two teams, and two teams alone. The Blue Jays remain the best fourth-place team in baseball, and the Orioles remain the industry's baby in a well, where the most help you can offer is to toss a shovel in after them. But that problem of geography is essentially unique to those two teams; teams like the Pirates, Royals, or even the Mariners and Indians have no such excuses, and the opportunity is there for them if they land on better combinations of investment and retention than they have so far. The other question that deserves at least a nod is asking why twice over: Why the distinction between the leagues, and why parity at all? To address the first question, my own argument would be the parity-perverting impact of the AL East's clash of titans. In the AL West and Central, a lower standard for contention retards the need for taking on the more ambitious target of taking on the power division's big three. Or, if a team is going to make that challenge, it's a product of planning and work over time and good fortune. The Rangers aren't building up to win just this year alone, but picking up Cliff Lee was exactly what they ought to have done to make the most of their opportunity. Why parity at all, though? My thought here is that its the product of a better-run industry overall, where the distinctions between whatever "smart" clubs are in vogue and whatever "dumb" clubs have become relatively small over time. We can kick clubs like the family-run Orioles or the family-run Pirates or the deliberately disinterested Marlins for their failures, but their brands of hope and faith involve bucks as much as ballgames. At least the Orioles seem motivated to create a long-term plan, to follow where the Rays have already gone, proving that it's possible. And being smart doesn't necessarily mean you always come up smelling like roses. We get examples like the Mariners investing too much meaning in the descriptive power of defensive metrics, or the Rockies' great changeup experiment; being too clever by half carries a heavier penalty in a more competitive environment. *: Indeed, the phenomenon of the Angels' overperformance relative to their expected record is living a longer life than they are themselves, as they lead the AL by being more than five wins above their expected record.

Midazolam injection may cause serious or life-threatening breathing problems such as shallow, slowed, or temporarily stopped breathing that may lead to permanent brain injury or death. You should only receive this medication in a hospital or doctor's office that has the equipment that is needed to monitor your heart and lungs and to provide life-saving medical treatment quickly if your breathing slows or stops. Your doctor or nurse will watch you closely after you receive this medication to make sure that you are breathing properly. Tell your doctor if you have a severe infection or if you have or have ever had any lung, airway, or breathing problems or heart disease. Tell your doctor and pharmacist if you are taking any of the following medications: antidepressants; barbiturates such as secobarbital (Seconal); droperidol (Inapsine); medications for anxiety, mental illness, or seizures; narcotic medications for pain such as fentanyl (Actiq, Duragesic, Sublimaze, others), meperidine (Demerol),and morphine (Avinza, Kadian, MS Contin, others); sedatives; sleeping pills; or tranquilizers.
Midazolam injection is used before medical procedures and surgery to cause drowsiness, relieve anxiety, and prevent any memory of the event. It is also sometimes given as part of the anesthesia during surgery to produce a loss of consciousness. Midazolam injection is also used to cause a state of decreased consciousness in seriously ill people in intensive care units (ICU) who are breathing with the help of a machine. Midazolam injection is in a class of medications called benzodiazepines. It works by slowing activity in the brain to allow relaxation and decreased consciousness.
Midazolam injection comes as a solution (liquid) to be injected into a muscle or vein by a doctor or nurse in a hospital or clinic.
If you receive midazolam injection in the ICU over a long period of time, your body may become dependent on it. Your doctor will probably decrease your dose gradually to prevent withdrawal symptoms such as seizures, uncontrollable shaking of a part of the body, hallucinations (seeing things or hearing voices that do not exist), stomach and muscle cramps, nausea, vomiting, sweating, fast heartbeat, difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep, and depression.
This medication may be prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
Before receiving midazolam injection,
Unless your doctor tells you otherwise, continue your normal diet.
Midazolam injection may cause side effects. Tell your doctor if any of these symptoms are severe or do not go away:
Some side effects can be serious. If you experience any of these symptoms or those listed in the IMPORTANT WARNING section, call your doctor immediately:
Midazolam injection may cause other side effects. Call your doctor if you have any unusual problems while receiving this medication.
If you experience a serious side effect, you or your doctor may send a report to the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program online ( Web Site) or by phone (1-800-332-1088).
In case of overdose, call your local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222. If the victim has collapsed or is not breathing, call local emergency services at 911.
Symptoms of overdose may include:
Keep all appointments with your doctor.
Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions about midazolam injection.
It is important for you to keep a written list of all of the prescription and nonprescription (over-the-counter) medicines you are taking, as well as any products such as vitamins, minerals, or other dietary supplements. You should bring this list with you each time you visit a doctor or if you are admitted to a hospital. It is also important information to carry with you in case of emergencies.

Girl, Interrupted is a bit more mainstream and straightforward than we've come to expect of films scored by Mychael Danna. Though the editing of the film's first twenty minutes or so is on the more surreal side, it thereafter sets in to a linear narrative and becomes a rather "pop"-ish film with some great acting. Responding to the nature of the film, Danna's music is some of his most accessible, even if not his most interesting or complex work.
Getting the songs on the album out of the way (since they comprise most of it), they tend not to do much for me. With Aretha Franklin, The Mamas & the Papas, Them (featuring Van Morrison), and others, we have a case of some reasonably lesser-known songs by well-known artists. The only songs in the film that really stand out in my memory are Petula Clark's "Downtown," and Wilco's "How to Fight Loneliness"which, even though it's the only new song on the album, has a Simon and Garfunkel-ish familiarity to it.
As for Danna's score, to say that it is not on par with his usual work is not to say that it is not at times very pleasant, and occasionally very beautiful. "You Need a Rest" introduces Danna's main theme, a bit of minimalism where the harmonic progression never quite goes where one would expect. After this comes quite a bit of folksy guitar work (performed by brother Jeff Danna) and some suspense music utilizing string work similar to Ride With the Devil. What sets this score apart from other Danna scores (there's always something!) is the use of the Glass Orchestra, a Canadian quartet wherein all instruments played are made from glass. The sound is eerie, but for me, does not have the same effect as similar use of gamelan bells in The Ice Storm.
With twenty score tracks, I find myself listening repeatedly to about four of them, and the best of the music is near the end of the album. "Driving In the Rain" finds Danna's penchant for the clarinet shown here in a haunting trio with bass and bells, after which comes the best use of folk guitar in the score. "Going Home" restates the main theme, but this time, it evolves into a variation for flute that is (in my opinion) the highlight of the album.
1999 had brought about quite a variety of scoring assignments for Mychael Danna, with 8MM, Ride With the Devil, Felicia's Journey, and finally Girl, Interrupted. Though his latest score isn't as groundbreaking as 8MM or Felicia's Journey, it's a rather pleasant listening experienceeven at about twenty-four minutes.
