High School Recruiting
Ron Turner's initial signing day class addresses FIU Panthers' issues
Hiring Ron Turner just a month before National Signing Day left the new FIU coach and his staff, still under construction itself, trying to keep this year's recruiting class from being a state of condemned. The early results, after Wednesday:
Light in quantity — 18 signees and two walk-ons with seven scholarships left to distribute. Light overall in quality, if one goes by those who try to project how 18-year-olds will evolve in four years, with only two consensus three-star recruits, the lowest for FIU in several years.
But at least FIU started to address holes in the secondary, linebacking corps and along the offensive line. Signees in those areas account for 11 of the 18 with more offensive linemen likely. Also, Turner said, FIU might use one of those remaining scholarships on a kicker.
"I want to thank the coaching staff for the tremendous job they did under tough circumstances," Turner said. "By the time we started to get staff together, it was mid-January. A lot of these kids that were committed had decommitted or at least started looking. A lot of other kids that were out there that committed or had interest in other schools. I think our staff did a tremendous job of selling what we're all about."
Ultimately, seven players who had verbally committed to FIU before the firing of Mario Cristobal went elsewhere: FIU defensive backs Simeon Thomas from Carol City and Troy McCollum, both of whom signed to go to Louisiana-Lafayette; Collins Hill (Ga.) three-star quarterback Brett Sheehan wound up at South Alabama; Miramar wide receiver Sean Avant decided to walk-on at FAU; Panama City Bozeman defensive end Chandler Burkett signed with Maryland; Jacksonville Sandalwood offensive tackle Donald Rocker will go to Western Kentucky; and Lauderdale Lakes Boyd Anderson offensive tackle Sandley Jean-Felix went to Marshall, where former FIU offensive line coach Alex Mirabal is offensive line coach.
FIU managed to hold on to Belen cornerback Xavier Hines; Bradenton Manatee defensive back Willie Smith; Vero Beach offensive lineman Chris Flaig; North Palm Beach Benjamin Jonathan Pavlov; Hallandale linebacker Jeremy Derrick; and Columbus linebacker Jordan Guest.
Smith, who had a spectacular junior season followed by a senior year truncated by a knee injury, said he committed to FIU last season because "I liked the team and I loved the campus. It seemed like the school and team were progressing." And he liked secondary coach Jeff Popovich after meeting him at a prospect camp.
After Cristobal was fired, Smith said he considered decommitting, but "I checked the résumé of the coach [Turner] and it seemed pretty good."
(Popovich, who coached a strafed secondary last season but also helped keep the defensive back part of the recruiting class together, got fired Wednesday afternoon.)
Among the new recruits were Bartow cornerback Vontarious West, the Panthers' consensus highest rated recruit in this class. The fourth defensive back, Olrando Jones Wilkenson Myrtil, is one of the fastest defensive back recruits in Florida. All the defensive backs officially are listed at 6-0. FIU wanted to add height and length to a secondary that has had three cornerbacks 5-9 and under the past two seasons.
On the offensive line, where the Panthers lost five senior starters, FIU brought in Flaig, whom Turner said might get playing time this season as a long snapper; Fort Lauderdale University lineman Jordan Budwig; Palm Beach Gardens' James Cruise and Riviera Beach Suncoast's Garrett Scott, who will walk-on with a full academic scholarship.
FIU also signed four linebackers, with Norland's Treyvon Williams and Killian's Jordan Gibbs joining Guest and Derrick.
Perhaps the most interesting recruit was Royal Palm Beach Seminole Ridge running back Silas Spearman, who gives the Panthers a younger back with some boogie. Spearman ran for 1,258 yards and 12 touchdowns, in addition to catching four passes for 212 yards and two touchdowns. The Class 8A Third Team All-State selection committed last weekend.

Drugs to treat nephrogenic diabetes insipidus quizlet,natural herbs for diabetes cure latest,squla account - .It occurred to us as we were laying out the contents of this article that we should probably not assume certain things. The Bank of Japan is unlikely to wind back its record monetary stimulus after completing a review of its policy, Governor Haruhiko Kuroda said. Silver kangaroo coins have seen sales surge to over 10 million coins which is double the expected demand for the year. Pokemon Go, an extremely popular mobile game released last month, uses the GPS and camera on players' phones to turn the real world into an adventure land filled with cartoon creatures, called Pokemon, which can be found and caught by exploring real-world places and throwing Pokeballs at them before other players do the same. The most common varieties of Pokemon (Rattatas, Pidgeys, Jigglypuffs, etc.) turn up everywhere and in great abundance, and so seldom lead to dust-ups between ambitious Pokemon trainers. Results from the "review", which are set to be announced at the September 20-21 meeting, will be interesting because it brings the BOJ closer to either abandoning its failed policy or having to double down and go the helicopter money route.
I continue to believe before the BOJ and other central banks admit failure, they will first double down and ease further.
The Gallup Poll has released an Economic Confidence Index which reflects the sentiment of Americans, as it pertains to the economy. As the stock market makes new record highs and the housing "bubble" market soars, one would expect that the "average" American would be smiling from ear to ear.
That quote captures the spirit of "carpe diem", seize the day – except the idea is to seize every day, every experience, every awakening, and every awareness. Devil or deliverer, the candidate who wins the White House has already made a Faustian bargain to keep the police state in power. Sure we're being given choices, but the differences between the candidates are purely cosmetic ones, lacking any real nutritional value for the nation. But for financial companies like insurers, pension funds, and money market funds, today's world is not just unprecedented, it's existentially threatening. Many a-list celebs have tones of fame but their fortunes are small potatoes compared to these folks, the billionaires.
The story of millionaire Simon Cowell, who dropped out of school at 15, worked for Sony BMG and EMI Music. Our roundtable guests talk about their roles as agents and being acknowledged by their clients. The world knows Valeria Lukyanova as the girl who turned herself into a real-life Barbie doll.
The government earlier on Tuesday approved a 28 trillion yen fiscal package, which includes about 4.6 trillion yen of new spending for the current fiscal year.
20-21, is aimed at helping it find ways to reach its 2 percent inflation goal as soon as possible. Anyone who downloads the app is likely to find these so-called normal-type Pokemon inside their own homes, ready to be caught from the comfort of the couch. The real world has been divided up into biomes by the game's creators, meaning different types of Pokemon tend to stay in specific areas. The Bank of Japan once again decided against aggressive monetary policy and instead decided to stick to more of the same. I'm back in the saddle again… Our where a friend is a friend, where the longhorn cattle feed on the lowly gypsum weed, Back in the saddle again… Well, at least for a couple of days, and then it's back to the every two weeks procedure, but for now l prefer not to think of that! It's following the human impulse to explore the unexplored, question what doesn't ring true, dig beneath the surface of what you think you know to formulate your own reality, and embrace the inherent 'now' of life.
And not in that 'why did you leave banking to become a writer' sort of way, deeper than that. It's no longer a question of which party will usher in totalitarianism but when the final hammer will fall. We're being served a poisoned feast whose aftereffects will leave us in turmoil for years to come. For example, grass-type Pokemon are usually found in verdant places, like parks, farms, and forests.
The Gallup Polls results are dumbfounding the American public as to why this divergence has occurred. I had a visitor while I was gone, JMR Doug, was here with his daughter, for a visit, and brought me a bumper sticker with a saying on it by the great Mogambo Guru, who also autographed it! Interest rates in major countries will either remain extremely low or fall further from here.
NO MATERIAL HERE CONSTITUTES "INVESTMENT ADVICE" NOR IS IT A RECOMMENDATION TO BUY OR SELL ANY FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO STOCKS, COMMODITIES, OPTIONS, BONDS, OR FUTURES. The topic we are going to tackle in this second installment is a complex one, so some introduction is in order.
That may be positive for the company but that does not necessarily translate into a better financial position for mainstream Americans. With $11 trillion of government bonds already trading with negative yields, that's an historically unprecedented prospect.

Therefore, this piece will consist of two parts: an opening introduction, a primer if you will, then the analysis will follow.

|Somali forces remove roadblocks in Beledweyne
|[Shabelle] A police commissioner in Somalia's central town of Beledweyne say the government forces along with Djiboutian troops, part of AMOSOM there have on Saturday removed all roadblocks set up in the city, complying with Somali president statement.
Col.Ali Dhuh Abdimahad, the police boss has told Shabelle Media station in Mogadishu via phone that the removal of the roadblocks is part of their plans to implement President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud's order.
On Sunday, last week Somali president Hassan Sheikh Mohamud said while meeting with district and army officials at Villa Somalia "all roadblocks in Mogadishu where motorists are extorted will not be tolerated for longer".

CHICAGO -- Doug Sohn has made an art of the traditional Chicago-style hot dog, replete with mustard, onions, pickle relish, dill spear, tomatoes, celery salt and sport peppers. (No ketchup!)
But if you stop your order there, you'll miss much of the joy of eating at his Hot Doug's restaurant on the city's northwest side. Because what really draws the crowds -- and foodies from afar -- is Sohn's menu filled with rare sausages curated to offer up spicy and sweet, ethnic and American, and all served for about $10 or less.
It's what earns Hot Doug's the title "The Sausage Superstore and Encased Meat Emporium." Things like smoked and spicy alligator sausage with crayfish etoufee mayonnaise and smoked blue cheese drizzled with honey; or apple, pear and port wine elk sausage with cherry-apricot mustard, double cream brie and pate de campagne; or even red mole turkey sausage with chipotle Dijonnaise, queso asadero and fried tortillas.
Sohn has a rotating stockpile of about 100 recipes that he's created and gets his meats from about dozen sausage makers. He says he knew he hit it big when the sausage companies started coming to him.
So there are two menus, the basic hot dogs, Polish sausages, bratwursts and corn dogs. That menu doesn't change, though the names of the dishes do. For example, a hot link is now known as an Anna Kendrick (previously Britney Spears, Jennifer Garner or Keira Knightley).
The other menu lists the gourmet dogs and it changes week-to-week, based on inventory, and has about a dozen dogs on it.
"There are new ones coming on and off the board all the time," Sohn said recently.
He also serves fries made in rendered duck fat, but only on Fridays and Saturdays. Foie gras is on the menu, too. This got Sohn into some trouble a few years ago when Chicago banned the goose and duck liver delicacy. He was fined $250 when he refused to stop serving it. The city later repealed the ban.
It's no surprise that the line into Hot Doug's can stretch along the side of Sohn's brick Chicago two-flat before his 10:30 a.m. opening, and sometimes down the block. He's got fans. His book, "Hot Doug's: The Book," features pages filled with people who have Hot Doug's tattoos.
Inside, the walls are decorated with hot dog-themed pictures, posters and memorabilia, including "Critical Links: A History of Encased Meats."
Sohn said his clientele include tourists, mostly on Saturdays, but also mothers and children, police officers and construction workers. You can tell it's important that he not only be seen as a gourmet hot dog connoisseur.
"We're a classic Chicago hot dog stand," he said. "To me, it's really still this classic Chicago restaurant."
If You Go ...
HOT DOUG'S: 3324 N. California Ave., Chicago, about 6 miles (10 kilometers) from downtown, http://www.hotdougs.com , 773-279-9550. Monday-Saturday, 10:30 a.m.-4 p.m., closed Sundays. Closed for holidays and vacations so check the schedule online. Cash only.

Debate grows over carbon tax
A tax on carbon emissions may not be on anyone's short list of legislation likely to emerge from the gridlocked Congress, but that's not dampening the debate over the merits of the idea.
The National Association of Manufacturers and left-leaning think tank The Brookings Institution locked horns on Tuesday, with each issuing new analyses on carbon taxes that came to very different conclusions.
Story Continued Below
NAM says a carbon tax would cripple American businesses and not accomplish its goals. Brookings says the tax would be an efficient way to boost federal revenues, drive down greenhouse gas emissions and enable Washington to cut high corporate tax rates.
And Sen. David Vitter (R-La.), ranking member of the Senate environment committee, wants to make sure the White House isn't interested. In a letter Tuesday, Vitter asked to President Barack Obama to reaffirm his opposition to a carbon tax — and to come out against newly proposed legislation from Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) that would put a fee on carbon.
"Given the administration's statements that you do not support and would not propose a carbon tax, given your consistent rhetorical support for the new unconventional production of natural gas and oil, and given your budgetary and rhetorical support for clean coal, I write to ask for your thoughts about the proposed legislation, as well as any administration position on the legislation," Vitter said in the letter.
"As you may know, you and I share many of the same concerns about these issues," Vitter says in the letter, in an unusual display of bipartisan affection from the Louisiana senator.
Obama has called on Congress to take action to help combat climate change, but has typically favored establishing a cap-and-trade mechanism. And his nominee for Treasury secretary, Jack Lew, downplayed a carbon tax on Monday in a letter to Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), ranking member of the Senate Finance Committee, as reported by The Hill.
"The administration has not proposed a carbon tax, nor is it planning to do so," Lew said in a written response, which echoed comments made by White House press secretary Jay Carney in November.
Nevertheless, manufacturers aren't taking any chances.
"I have not heard them actually say that they would veto a carbon tax," said Jay Timmons, president and CEO of NAM on Tuesday. "Nor do I think that there's any shortage of bad ideas in Congress, and this is one of them."

This page is a loose translation of the page about the xmltv2vdr-plugin available in the german wiki.
Current Version
xmltv2vdr is a plugin for the VDR that imports EPG-Data into the VDR. By itself, it does not fetch any EPG-Data; the EPG-Data has to be supplied by third-party software to xmltv2vdr in xmltv format.
The third-party software to fetch the EPG-Data is not part of xmltv2vdr because of legal issues (cf VG_Media).
Software Requirements
libxml2, libsqlite3, libpcre
Assuming that the xmltv2vdr plugin has been installed on the VDR in conjunction to third-party software that uses the xmltv2vdr plugin to get the EPG-Data into the VDR, the configuration about
* what EPG-Data sources to use * what channels of the source correspond to what channels of the VDR * other configurations like frequency of updates, etc.
is completely done in the OSD of the VDR.
The OSD of the xmltv2vdr plugin can be accessed under the plugins settings.
Third-party EPG-Data Sources
For the end-user
The configuration and usage of the third-party EPG-Data sources will not be discussed here.
The third-party software to fetch the EPG-Data is not part of xmltv2vdr because of legal issues (cf VG_Media).
For the developers of the third-party software providing EPG-Data
The interface between the xmltv2vdr plugin and the third-party software providing the EPG-Data has been defined like this:
* Every source must have a control file in the /var/lib/epgsources directory. This control file is a text file that contains information to control the xmltv2vdr plugin and a list of the channels offered by the source. The name of the control file can be chosen freely, but must not have an extension. The control file on the VDR must be readable by the vdr-user. * Every source must have an executable file that offers the EPG-Data in the appropriate format to the xmltv2vdr plugin. The binary file has to be in the path of the executables of the VDR. The binary file must have the same name as the control file, to which it corresponds.

text: Is it just me, or am I wrong? I am a big fan of the Sharks, but cannot for the life of me understand why the coaches and management can't see that the one big glaring weakness of the Sharks has been for years their lack of a strong, consistent and intimidating defense. Why the Sharks a few years back ever thought that fielding a defense that started two rookies Vlassic and Carle would work is beyond me. If you look at the recent championship winners, they all have had in common tough D-men who opposing teams had to watch out for. In my humble opinion, I think the Sharks need to bolster their defense by bringing in more wrecking ball guys like Murray, who can pound as well as skate and shoot like Boyle.

- Overwhelming feelings and thoughts

- Miscommunications / Misunderstandings
- Fatigue or Tiredness due either to the condition that all to the treatment of the condition (eg: Ritalin)
There is a lot of research into the depression and ADHD or ADD (a common condition which exists alongside Aspergers)
There's not nearly as much information on depression from an Aspergers only standpoint.
Recent research...
(Tantam, D. (2000). Psychological disorder in adolescents and adults with Asperger syndrome. Autism)
...suggests that depression is common in individuals with Asperger syndrome with about 1 in 15 people with Asperger syndrome experiencing such symptoms. Personally, I think this figure is much, much higher and that the differences are related to how depression is seen by others (particularly the researchers) and how it handled by those who suffer from it. Remember that Aspies aren't always easy to read.
The aim of this post is to look at depression that is directly related to the Aperger's condition only. It's obviously going to take more than one post to get through this.
There are a number of factors an which are part of aspergers which would influence the onset of depression. These include as follows;
- Very good long term memory
- Obsessive compulsion - (I wonder if this is simply be one of my conditions or if it really belongs in the core Aspergers definitions)**
- Obsession with completeness, order and patterns
- Difficulty reading of other people's body language expressions and tone (leading to misunderstandings)
- Unusual world view/Paradigm
Unfortunately, this post is already getting long, so I'll discuss these lists in the next post.
In the meantime, here are some links which may be of interest;
**Szatmari et al (1989) studied a group of 24 children. He discovered that 8% of the children with Asperger syndrome and 10% of the children with high-functioning autism were diagnosed with OCD. This compared to 5 per cent of the control group of children without autism but with social problems. Thomsen el at (1994) found that in the children he studied, the OCD continued into adulthood.

Church of San Juan Bautista
Путь святого Иакова, первый «Европейский культурный маршрут» и объект Всемирного наследия. Подробнее
Every two years this village in Navarre celebrates the Mystery of Obanos, a legend whose origins go back to the Middle Ages.
Obanos is just 20 kilometres from Pamplona, the capital of the Region of Navarre. This small village is on the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route. Pilgrims on their way to Santiago de Compostela pass through the village – here two important branches of the route (from Somport and Roncesvalles) converge.
It is well worth taking a stroll through the streets and squares of Obanos. They are beautiful and have a marked medieval atmosphere, with buildings with Gothic elements and large houses built in masonry and brick. Amongst its monuments, special mention should be made of the Nuestra Señora de Arnotegui Shrine, where the legend of the Mystery of San Guillén and Santa Felicia has its origins. This story is closely linked to the Camino de Santiago and is played out every two years in Obanos.

Air National Guard Ready, Relevant Force, Director Says
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, July 24, 2006 - The Air National Guard is an integral part of the National Guard force and is transforming to better meet its dual roles of assisting in homeland defense and contributing to the global war on terror, the component's new director said here today.
The Air National Guard is transitioning along with the total force to a more operational status, while still maintaining its traditional missions in the homeland and taking on new missions, like providing support to Army National Guard operations at the U.S. southwestern border, Air Force Lt. Gen. Craig R. McKinley, director of the Air National Guard, said.
"The nature of war has changed, and we've had to change and adapt to that nature, and therefore we have become more operational. We have created a system of rotation that works well for our airmen, and we are in balance across the board," McKinley said.
The Air National Guard already has started supporting U.S. border operations and will provide up to 25 percent of the Guard force involved in those operations, McKinley said. The Air National Guard will be able to sustain this level of involvement for about two years, he said.
McKinley, who was confirmed as director May 20, said he would like the Air National Guard to take on more state-level missions, which the Army National Guard is primarily responsible for now. The Air Guard can provide civil engineers, security forces and communications personnel to assist after disasters like Hurricane Katrina, he said.
McKinley said he also would like to see the Air National Guard expand its operations in foreign military sales training and space missions.
Despite new demands on the Air National Guard, recruiting and retention remain high for the force, McKinley said. The last two months have shown positive gains in recruiting, and the force is on track to meet its goals for this year, he said. The Guard normally keeps airmen and soldiers for longer terms than the active force, so leadership in the officer and enlisted ranks is strong, and retention is high, he said.
The Air National Guard has a long history and enjoys a strong partnership with the U.S. Air Force, McKinley said. The two components working together will continue to provide for airmen and ensure the force is ready to meet the challenges of this century, he said.
"I would just like to thank the men and women who serve in the Air National Guard -- those people who give up their free time to give to us and to our nation and their states, who work so effectively with our U.S. Air Force," he said.

30 Jays in 30 Days – EXTRA! Off-Field Edition!
With our esteemed patron handling the pre-season preview duties for the active roster, there's not much left for a part-time fill-in to do in the 30 Jays in 30 Days series. But there's more to the team than the players, so on the weekends, I'll be doing my best to take stock of some of the off-field staff of the Toronto Blue Jays as the 2012 season approaches. Up first is the manager, John Farrell.
Who: John Farrell. Manager. 49 years old.
Twitter hashtags inspired by managerial style: #Farrellball, usually accompanying tweets criticizing the manager's seemingly mystifying decisions to allow runners to attempt to steal second base while Jose Bautista was at the plate, sacrifice bunt in bad situations, and pencil Corey Patterson in as a leadoff hitter.
Key characteristics: Lantern-jawed. Man, I'd love to be lantern-jawed. I think lantern-jawed people get respect just for being lantern-jawed.
History: One MLB season as a manager (81-81 record). 116 games, 698.2 innings as a major league pitcher over 8 seasons, retiring after the 1996 season. Assistant Coach and Pitching & Recruiting Coordinator Oklahoma State University from 1997 to 2001; Director of Player Development for the Cleveland Indians from 2001 to 2006; Pitching Coach for the Boston Red Sox (BAH! *spits*) from 2007 to 2010.
Contract Status: Signed as Manager prior to the 2011 season to a three-year contract (through the end of the 2013).
Intrigue!: In the absence of a big free agent or trade acquisition, John Farrell became the subject of perhaps the most contentious bit of speculation for the Blue Jays during the offseason. Reports surfaced that the Red Sox (BAH! *spits*), in the aftermath of their well-publicized September collapse and tarring and feathering of Terry Francona, were interested in bringing Farrell back into the fold to manage the club for 2012 and beyond. There was enough oomph beyond the rumours to have prompted the Blue Jays to make a shift in human resource policy – employees would henceforth no longer be granted permission to discuss "lateral moves" to other organizations.
But would it have mattered anyway?: Many of the more statistically-minded have set out to prove (and done a pretty convincing job of it at that) that the impact of any manager on any team is negligible, if there is any at all. I have a great deal of time for these arguments, but I can also see the – dare I say it? – intangibles that a manager might bring to an organization. It does look, from the outside, as though Farrell and General Manager Alex Anthopoulos have a strong relationship, a shared vision of how to assemble a roster, and a common commitment to long-term sustainability for the organization. I'm not sure you could say that with Cito Gaston (and you could say a whole bunch of other things about Cito Gaston too, but I won't). In terms of on-field performance, it probably doesn't matter that much who is making out the lineup card every day, but there is likely some value in having a person in the dugout pulling in the same direction as the guys upstairs.
Looking Back: Farrell took his fair share of heat last year for some of his in-game decision making. It's difficult, though, to separate the decision-making from the talent he had on the roster to execute the decisions. In retrospect, I wonder whether Farrell had succumbed to the pressure of needing to "make something happen" because he was forced to field a lineup that consisted of one or more of Corey Patterson, Juan Rivera, Jayson Nix or Mike McCoy.
Farrell had to go with what he had in the starting rotation too. Given the lack of talent and depth among starters for 2011, I can't fault Farrell for much on how he used them. I don't recall any egregious situations of starters being overstretched or yanked unfairly, which is perhaps testament to Farrell's background as a big league pitcher himself, and a pitching coach for some pretty good arms in Boston (BAH! *spits*).
With respect to his management of the bullpen, we may again be able to take advantage of some informed hindsight, or at least give Farrell some benefit of the doubt. In the closer spot, Frank Francisco didn't open the season healthy, forcing him to use Jon Rauch in the ninth. I think we can all agree watching Rauch close games was on par emotionally with watching a loved one having a limb amputated by a carnival worker. Francisco reclaimed the closer job later in the season and pitched pretty well. But apart from Francisco finally stabilizing things (far too late in the season), I never really got the sense that Farrell had any inkling from one day to the next what he was going to do with the 'pen in general. But the roller-coaster ride may well have been a function of trying to find something that works with a thin batch of arms, not unlike the way the offense was managed.
Looking Forward: Perhaps blaming the talent Farrell had on the roster for his frustrating decisions is being overly generous to the man, but that's what 2011 was like. 2012 is likely to be the season where we can see a truer measure of Farrell as a manager. There are fewer question marks with respect to incumbents and their roles (with the exception of left field and the backup infield spot, and arguably the first base/DH situation). Farrell knows who his closer is. He's got a clearer picture of the other types of relievers he has and what types of situations he'll ask them to face. He's looking at the same challenges we all see in the starting rotation, beyond the 1-2 punch of Ricky Romero and Brandon Morrow.
This is essentially a contract year for John Farrell. It's hard to imagine a scenario in which he enters 2013 as a manager with a contract set to expire at the end of the season. I remember that really pissed off Philip Seymour Hoffman, and Brad Pitt had to deal with his insouciance all season because of it.
Farrell is probably going to have to go to Anthopoulos and Paul Beeston after this season and say, "This is why I deserve an extension." He's going to need to be able to point to something – a better record, an improving core of players, a few breakthroughs nobody expected. If that something isn't there, we might not see much more of the guy after 2012.
2012 Expectations: Farrell's job, as I see it, is to help this team figure out what it is – by putting the best players in situations where they can continue to succeed and help the team win, and by sorting out the best way to assemble a supporting cast. There are going to be times this season when we all shake our heads and tweet our anger about Farrell's lineup card or decision to send a runner. That's part of the fun of being a fan. I think he's a smart guy with a pretty good grip on what the team has, and what it can accomplish. I don't think he'll win Manager of the Year, but adding five wins to what he delivered in 2011 will keep him on an upward track.

Great article Org! aside from the head scratching running blunders, the most obvious mistake I can recall is continually trotting Dotel out against lefties despite the vomit inducing splits.
I think your point about working with the talent he had is legit. He did acknowledge some of his past mistakes from last season, so it will be very interesting to see if his managerial style has matured at all with a full year under his belt now.

Nice one.

I'm still convinced that the odd use of Dotel was to actually see if he could have some success against lefties to maybe try to up his value. I think that now that there's a bullpen with no obvious trade at the deadline candidates, and with a bit more experience, we'll get a better sense of exactly how he'll manage the 'pen.

New study shows spironolactone reduces heart failure hospitalizations, but not mortality
A late-breaking clinical trial, known as the Treatment of Preserved Cardiac Function Heart Failure with an Aldosterone Antagonist (TOPCAT) trial, to be presented at the American Heart Association (AHA) Scientific Sessions, November 18, 2013, demonstrates that spironolactone did not reduce the primary outcome of cardiovascular death, heart failure hospitalization, nor surviving a cardiac arrest in patients with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction (pump function). However, spironolactone did reduce the major burden faced by these patients—the risk of repeated hospitalizations for heart failure.
The TOPCAT trial is the first randomized, double-blind trial to assess the effect of spironolactone on clinical outcomes in these patients with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction.
The trial enrolled 3,445 participants from 270 medical centers in six countries. Participants were randomly assigned to receive either spironolactone (target dose of 30 milligrams/day) or matching placebo, and were followed for an average of nearly 3.5 years. Moreover, participants were also treated for other co-existing conditions (e.g., diabetes, high blood pressure, etc.).
According to the researchers, patients randomized to spironolactone were less likely to be hospitalized for heart failure compared to those on placebo. At the end of the study, 206 out of 1722 patients on spironolactone (12 percent) had been hospitalized for heart failure, compared to 245 of 1723 patients (14 percent) given placebo. There were no statistically significant differences between the groups in deaths or hospitalizations from any cause.
The TOPCAT trial also presented the opportunity to study cardiac structure and function in this population through an echocardiography sub-study in 935 patients, which demonstrated a high prevalence of abnormal cardiac structure in these patients. These results will be published simultaneously with the TOPCAT AHA presentation in the AHA journal, Circulation: Heart Failure.
The TOPCAT trial was led by a clinical research team at Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) under the direction of Marc A. Pfeffer, MD, PhD, BWH Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, Department of Medicine, in collaboration with the New England Research Institutes, directed by Sonja McKinlay, PhD. The rationale for using spironolactone—an inexpensive, generic, medication—stems from the pioneering research of Bertram Pitt, MD, University of Michigan School of Medicine, who showed the benefit of this class of drugs in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction, and who also served as chair of the TOPCAT Steering Committee.
"At present, therapy for this large proportion of patients with heart failure is empiric, and there remains a huge unmet need," said Scott Solomon, MD, director of BWH Noninvasive Cardiology, who also led the core echocardiography lab for the study.
"While these patients also suffer heart attacks and strokes, hospitalizations for heart failure represent their predominant problem, which is also a major burden to society," said Eldrin Lewis, MD, advanced heart failure specialist, BWH Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, Department of Medicine, who chaired the TOPCAT Clinical Endpoints Committee.
"When treating our patients, clinicians are always balancing risks and benefits," said Akshay S. Desai, MD, MPH, advanced heart failure specialist, BWH Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, Department of Medicine. "The results of TOPCAT will help inform clinicians as they make treatment decisions for this understudied population," Added Desai, "If clinicians choose to use this therapy, they must be vigilant about monitoring for serum markers of kidney and electrolyte disorders which can be exacerbated by spironolactone."

US President Bill Clinton has issued a 12-month extension of economic sanctions against Iran, already in place for more than 20 years, until relations between the two countries are normalized. The president informed the US Congress of the decision in a letter released Thursday by the White House.
"I am continuing the national emergency with respect with Iran for one year," Clinton said in the letter. Iran swiftly condemned the measure as "unacceptable". The sanctions were imposed in 1979 after the US embassy was seized and its employees taken hostage in Tehran. Since then, the measures have been renewed each year.
Last March, the United States slightly eased its sanctions, trying to encourage a restart of dialogue with the Islamic Republic after moderates won general elections, by lifting bans on Iranian caviar, carpets and pistachios.
"We condemn this unacceptable decision which is in violation of international and trade relations," Iranian state television quoted foreign ministry spokesman Hamid-Reza Asefi as saying. He added that Iran had no worries because of its internal resources, but the sanctions hurt US firms anxious to do business with Tehran. — (AFP, Washington)

For any LOB (Line of Business) Application, User Interface Design can make or break the success of the application. In the recent years, due to the advent of mobile devices, great improvements in the Web technologies, the browsers and client side experience, there has been greater than ever emphasis on UI Design and usability than before. Users having used iPhones, iPads and Kinects come to expect similar intuitive experience when they are using any application, be it an internal enterprise app or public facing web applications.
I've been very inspired by Billy Hollis' approach to Application development, ever since I first listened to his shows on the .Net Rocks podcast shows. He has a keen focus on User Experience and Prototyping.

The last few weeks have brought so many lovely new releases it's been hard to narrow it down to these six:
Bumble & Bumble Crème de Coco range – from £18.50
These products smell so good! In fact I was in the lift (elevator) and the lady behind stopped me to ask what I had used on my hair as the smell was so lovely. It's not just the smell though; the range makes my hair look and feel nourished and moisturised and the masque left my hair smooth, silky and glossy. It's very moisturising so it's not suitable for those with very fine hair but everyone else (relaxed, natural, coloured, dry etc) it's perfect.
Boots Eye Drops – from £9.49
If you wear contact lenses and work in an office, around 3pm your eyes probably start to feel dry and uncomfortable. My optometrist recently told me my eyes don't produce enough tears (common with lens wearers) so I'm using these Contact Lens drops from Boots which have been specially formulated for use when wearing lenses. The Brightening Eye Mist helps reduce redness and puffiness so perfect before a night out while the Irritated Eye Mist is good if you suffer with hayfever.
Electric Hair P-4 Preparation Spray – £15.50
This leave in conditioner is perfect for protecting, detangling, softening, enhancing and priming your hair before styling. If you have curly/afro hair and you like to blow dry it straight, chances are parts of it dry out before you get round to them so use this spray to re-hydrate and condition. The range was formulated by hairdresser Mark Wooley who has worked on Sienna Miller's hair. He said: "Great hair starts with good foundations so it is vital to focus on preparation. For hair that looks and feels luxurious from the inside out, you need a miracle product that de-frizzes effectively yet doesn't leave behind any residue."
Korres Japanese Rose Body Butter – £12.50
Online natural supermarket Big Green Smile has recently started stocking Greek range Korres. Using the finest quality organic herb extracts and natural ingredients and avoiding mineral oils, silicones, parabens and propylene glycol, each product details its natural formulation. I tried the Japanese Rose Body Butter which has a slightly whipped finish and leaves a very subtle shimmer on the skin. It is 93.6% natural so is good for use on even young skins.
Nanogen Hair Growth Factor Treatment Serum – £29.95
This light moisturising serum contains a powerful clinically tested formula that maintains natural hair growth, restores hair condition and protects the scalp from damage, creating the perfect environment for hair growth. It's part of the new patent protected Nanogen Thickening collection (serum, shampoo and conditioner) which, in trials, gave noticeably thicker hair in 88% of 200 women who followed the regimen over 1 month. I've been using the serum for just over a week and my hair does feel slightly thicker already.
Origins Gin-Zing Energising Moisturiser – £23
This day cream/gel hybrid is perfect for waking up tired, dull skin. Ingredients include:
• Panax Ginseng: Known to help strengthen and eliminate visible signs of fatigue.
• Caffeine: A powerful anti-irritant derived from coffee beans
• Chestnut Seed: Desquamates dull surface cells.
• Olive: Provides oil-free hydration and creates a translucent "glow" to skin.
• Grapefruit Oil: Uplifting aroma that imparts clinically proven anti-irritancy benefits.
• Spearmint Oil: Known to encourage energy.
• Lemon Oil: Helps dispel mental fatigue and increase concentration and awareness.
It left my skin feeling smooth and smelling great.

Woman killed in DUI crash, police say
Agustin Macias-Marquez charged with homicide by vehicle while DUI
A 25-year-old woman was killed in an early morning crash on Monday in Chambersburg, Franklin County, and a 27-year-old man is being charged in connection with the fatal accident.
The Franklin County coroner said the woman killed in the crash on Cleveland Avenue at McKinley Street was Heather Coble, of Shippensburg.
The crash happened when Agustin Macias-Marquez, 27, of Waynesboro, drove a vehicle into the vehicle carrying Coble and two other people, driver Nicholas Fortenberry, 30, of Shippensburg and Madison Perry, 24, of Shippensburg, according to police. The collision forced both vehicles into a residence at the corner of the intersection.
Coble was killed, and Fortenberry and Perry both suffered serious injuries. They were flown to York Hospital. Police have not released their conditions.
Marquez was treated and released from Chambersburg Hospital. He has been charged with multiple offenses, including homicide by vehicle, homicide by vehicle while DUI and aggravated assault while DUI.
Marquez is now being held at the Franklin County Prison in lieu of $350,000 bail.
Chambersburg police say their investigation continues.

NEW YORK, June 6 (UPI) -- Workers at New York's Belmont Park racetrack said Wednesday they have averted a strike just three days before the Belmont Stakes Triple Crown horse race.
Vincent McElroen, financial secretary of International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 3 union, said maintenance workers and starters at the track have reached a tentative contract agreement as I'll Have Another prepares his Triple Crown title attempt, CNN reported.
"We're happy we came to an agreement," he told the broadcaster. "The guys will be putting the horses in the gate this weekend."
The deal on wages and employee contributions to healthcare has been under negotiation with the New York Racing Association since 2010 and comes a week after workers voted to authorize a strike.
McElroen told CNN the timing of the strike vote was coincidental with the Belmont Stakes.
I'll Have Another Saturday will seek to become the first horse in 34 years to collect the Triple Crown of horse racing. The 3-year-old colt has already claimed victories at the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes this spring.

Chemical Common in Plastic Containers Linked to Asthma
(NEW YORK) -- Young children exposed to a specific chemical, commonly present in plastic containers and metal cans used to hold food, may be at higher risk of developing asthma, according to a new study.
The report, published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, found a link between exposure to bisphenol A (BPA) and increased rates of asthma among children, according to HealthDay. BPA has previously been linked to respiratory problems, obesity, increased blood sugar levels, and behavioral issues.
Dr. Kathleen Donohue, an assistant professor of medicine at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, explained to HealthDay that the link between BPA and asthma is only an association, and not necessarily a cause.
Investigators studied the levels of a form of BPA that is found in urine after exposure to the chemical in 568 women and their children. The measurements were first taken during the third trimester, and then when the children were 3, 5 and 7 years old.
During each measurement, about 90 percent of the children had some BPA in their bodies. Interestingly, the researchers found that the children exposed to BPA after birth had increased rates of wheezing and asthma.
The report found no connection between exposure to BPA during the third trimester and asthma rates.
While some experts remain unconvinced, Dr. Len Horovitz, a pulmonary specialist at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City, told HealthDay, "It is unclear what the mechanism is, but it seems clear there really is a mechanism."
Horovitz recommended avoiding BPA as much as possible to HealthDay, saying that people should "stop using number 3 and number 7 plastics, use more glass containers, more metal containers."

- The diameter given is the diameter a food product, such as a pie or pizza, would be if baked in the pan. The pan itself is a bit wider due to the thickness of the metal on all sides.
American Metalcraft NCAR9HC Details
The American Metalcraft NCAR9HC 8 1/2" CAR hard coat anodized pizza pan with nibs has an unfinished top edge that can cut dough, which allows you to roll out the dough over the pan with a rolling pin for fast, consistent results. This CAR pizza pan contains nibs which are approximately 5/8" in diameter and raise the pizza about 1/8" above the surface allowing moisture to escape to provide a mouth-watering, crispy crust. Thanks to the dark coloring of the hard coat anodized aluminum finish, this pan heats up quicker and gets hotter than typical aluminum pans for a faster baking time. Customers will love the quick service and you'll make a crispy, evenly baked pizza every time!

We are currently OCCO skin studio. We operate a small spa in Columbia, SC. Our massage therapists and estheticians are currently master teachers within the educational arena. We are looking to utilize their knowledge and expertise to incorporate our own curricula for the national licensing boards. We will provide state and national board approved continuing education credits for licensed massage therapists and estheticians. A therapist must obtain a specific amount of CEC each year to maintain his or her license. We intend to hold these classes at our educational facilities as well as traveling to different locations to provide 3 day classes to obtain these credits. We will continually need to advertise and attract clients so an ongoing changing internet or electronic venue is required.
Help us think of the name and design and be a part of it as we grow.
Our target audience is licensed massage and esthetics professionals who require continuing education credits to maintain their professional license within their state. We need to tell them why we should be their choice of hands on continuing education.
We want a name that is fun and either plays on or describes us.
We need a logo to go with that.
We do not want to be a sterile name or logo. Have fun but we need to be professional.

[Pre-recap recap: Last week, the chefs dug up their own oysters, Micah won the Quickfire, the Rat City Roller Girls had a "Top Chef"-catered skating party, Padma wowed us with her roller disco moves, Josie got on everyone's last nerve, team Brooke/John won and Bart was sent home. Got it? Good.]
It's dawn in Seattle: We wake up to witness Sheldon methodically sharpening his knives and Stefan methodically applying face cream.
No surprise, then, that the challenge is about knife skills. Padma introduces master bladesmith Bob Kramer, who will be judging the Quickfire. He is one of only 120 masters in the U.S. and the footage of him working in his shop is pretty impressive. This guy is old school. His knives sell "for $500 ... an inch," purrs Padma, with not a hint of subtlety.
The three-part Quickfire will test sharpening, precision, and butchering. The crew will compete in teams of three. Sharpening begins and the chefs hunch over their whetstones. The knives must slice cleanly through paper - with several failed attempts, two teams move on.
The next step is to tourne 50 potatoes. If you're sheepishly wondering what that means (as I was, no shame) — to tourne is to peel and shape the spuds into a perfectly uniform oblong shape, almost like a little football — with exactly seven sides. Josie knicks her thumb and is disqualified (Padma had earlier decreed any blood would equal immediate dismissal). The blue team (Josh, Sheldon and Micah) tourne fastest and are now competing against each other to butcher two rabbits. In a true dark horse moment, Micah silently and deftly takes the Quickfire, scoring immunity and the $4,000 Bob Kramer knife.
In what has got to be the most convoluted elimination challenge ever, the chefs are asked to (deep breath here) recreate a healthier version of a dish from a memorable moment in the prior nine seasons of "Top Chef," as it will be made into a Healthy Choice Steamers frozen entree. Kindle Fires are distributed so the chefs can watch video replay of their assigned "memorable moment." John proves himself quite the Top Chef mega fan as he practically recites everyone's scenes as they watch. I must admit I am delighted to relive the greatest line ever uttered on this program, Season 5's Fabio barking "This is 'Top Chef,' not 'Top Scallops.'"
As they shop for ingredients, Lizzie describes the scallop dish she is going to prepare and decides this challenge is going to be easy. Ruh-roh. That's never a good sign.
The next day, the troupe heads to the Palace Ballroom to prep their recreations. The meal will be served to a room full of "Top Chef mega fans" as well as our guest judges, all former "Top Chef Masters" competitors: Wolfgang Puck, Wylie Dufresne, Jonathan Waxman and Chris Cosentino (winner of the last
"Masters" and, yes, my heart).
In the kitchen, John is concerned about the "curse of the risotto" which has plagued prior chefs, and Stefan wonders if his grilled cheese sandwich with butter-laden soup might not be the healthiest choice.
The judges are served their "memorable moments" in chronological order by season. Again, this whole attempt at celebrating ten years of the show is falling completely flat. I would have much preferred they actually bring back some prior contestants or have the focus be on one thing. Instead, the chefs are recreating winning dishes, losing dishes, and dramatic moment dishes. This walk down memory lane is bumpy and confusing.
Josie, Stefan and John serve, and all fare pretty poorly: Josie's chicken is boring, Stefan's soup is swimming in grease, and John's risotto is somehow simultaneously both over and under-cooked.
Seasons 3-5 are up next. Josh has finally cooked a pork dish that pleases the judges. Sheldon's carpaccio is interesting in flavor but visually unappealing. Lizzie's scallops are not fresh and that has sullied her whole effort.
The last three dishes are up. Brooke wins beaucoup adorable points as she greets the judges' table, "Hi, intimidating group of people!" Micah's duck gets inconsistent reviews. Tom raves over Kirsten's pie-less chicken pot pie, although Chris is disappointed he didn't get the gravy on his plate as the other judges did. Brooke's un-pilfered pea puree is winning over everyone.
After service, Padma calls back Josh, John, Lizzie, Kristen and Brooke. That's over half of the contestants, what does this MEAN? We are quick to learn: They are the top AND bottom dishes. Brooke, Josh and Kristen are on top, John and Lizzie are up for knife packing.
Chris announces the winner: Kristen, for her poached chicken breast, carrot puree with garlic & tofu emulsion (inspired by Carla Hall's Season 5 Chicken Pot Pie). She pockets $15,000 and her dish will be made into a Healthy Choice frozen entree. I'm sure she's a bit more stoked about the cash.
The judges move on to detailing John and Lizzie's failures. After hearing his risotto was unevenly cooked, John says, "You know, I'm not making an excuse, but there wasn't one level pot in the kitchen." Oh wait, you just made an excuse (Again!).
Josh can't help himself and points out the pots he had were just fine. Lizzie offers no such stammering and admits that she knew the scallops were subpar - she apologizes to the judges and you can feel the genuine pain in her voice. Padma tells them they have one last chance to save themselves. Twist! On the last Kindle Fire is the "memorable moment" from Season 10 - which, by the way, we're currently watching. This reminds me of that scene in "Spaceballs" when they rent the movie "Spaceballs" to see what will happen. ("When will then be now?" "Soon.")
The moment in question is CJ's dill pickle burger fail. Lizzie and John have 45 minutes to make a healthier version of that dish. In the kitchen, John asks if he can use some of Lizzie's dill, and then just throws all of it into his blender. When she discovers it's gone ,she is clearly shocked and peeved. John also repeatedly leaves the oven open as she's trying to cook her burgers. John points out that he shared his pickles with her, therefore he's not a total prick. Gah! Yes. You. Are.
Burgers are served. John's is a lamb burger with fried egg & spicy pickle, tomato & pomegranate salad. Lizzie presets a chicken burger with goat cheese ricotta & dill pickle roasted red pepper salad. The judges are pleased with both dishes. Most of my fingernails are gone as we go to commercial break.
The judges are unanimous: Lizzie made the better burger. John, please pack your knives and go. He leaves us with a final John-esque hypocritical statement: "I'm not bitter, but yeah, I think it's bulls---." OK, don't let the "Top Chef" door hit your ass on the way out.
Coming up next week: Restaurant Wars, redux! And someone insults Gail and her entire tribe with an offensive matzoh ball soup. Oy vey.
