And now Obama-Cameron.
Whether or not the US president and newly elected UK premier will forge a "special relationship" as have past transatlantic leaders, Barack Obama and David Cameron already have one thing going for them: syllabic harmony.
Bush-Blair was a mono-syllable partnership; Thatcher-Reagan was a two-syllable collaboration; and Obama-Cameron is now the three-syllable match.
Nomenclature numerology?
Syllables as destiny?
Ever since Winston Churchill coined the phrase "special relationship" in 1945, a coincidence of surname syllables has occurred.
During 42 of the past 65 years – or some 65 percent of the time – both the US and UK had a leader with the same number of syllables in their last name.
But during the first 156 years of UK premiers and US presidents (starting with George Washington's first term in 1789), when a much higher percentage of American names actually had Anglo-Saxon roots, presidents' and premiers' syllables only coincided over 54 years, or about 35 percent. Leadership years overlap (for example, we've classified 2010 as a Cameron year, even though Brown held office the first four months), creating small a margin of error.
And when comparing the US with its Cold War enemy, Russia, over the past 65 years, syllables have coincided only 25 years, or about 38 percent of the time.
Transatlantic harmonic convergence
Between American and Britain there now exists a "harmonic convergence in the rhyming scheme of the names," Mark Blyth, a professor of political economy at Brown University, says sarcastically.
"It's totally random," he adds. "I'm not signing up to the new school of political analysis based upon syllables."
And no one is suggesting that this is what Churchill meant when he started using the term.
"We should not abandon our special relationship with the United States and Canada about the atomic bomb and we should aid the United States to guard this weapon as a sacred trust for the maintenance of peace," Churchill said in November 1945.
He used the phrase again in March 1946, more famously, in his so-called "Iron Curtain" speech in Missouri, saying: "Neither the sure prevention of war, nor the continuous rise of world organization will be gained without what I have called the fraternal association of the English-speaking peoples. This means a special relationship between the British Commonwealth and Empire and the United States."
As Churchill said those words, Harry Truman's presidency was coinciding with the UK leadership of Clement Attlee (and then Churchill), marking eight years of a two-syllable leadership on both sides of the Atlantic. The three-syllable (John F.) Kennedy presidency coincided with the (Harold) Macmillan and (Alec) Douglas-Home premierships.
All of the (Lyndon B.) Johnson years, plus two of the (Richard) Nixon years, coincided with the (Harold) Wilson premiership. The last two (Jimmy) Carter years, and all of the (Ronald) Reagan years, coincided with (Margaret) Thatcher's time in office. And five of the (Bill) Clinton years matched with the (John) Major premiership, which led us into the eight-year Bush-Blair-Brown single-syllable special relationship.
Now, after a chilly miss-match between three-syllable Obama and one-syllable Brown, the two countries are in syllabic harmony again.
"As I told the Prime Minister," Obama said in statement posted on the White House web site Tuesday, "the United States has no closer friend and ally than the United Kingdom, and I reiterated my deep and personal commitment to the special relationship between our two countries – a bond that has endured for generations and across party lines, and that is essential to the security and prosperity of our two countries, and the world."
"It was very notable," says Reginald Dale of the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, D.C., "that Obama used the phrase 'special relationship' when he congratulated Cameron on becoming prime minister. He was surprisingly fulsome in his remarks to Cameron, given that he has not shown much fondness for Britain."
Mr. Dale says that Obama's relationship with Gordon Brown suffered from personality differences because of the former British premier's "crankiness."
But the younger David Cameron is seen as a charming, graceful, smooth-talking politician more akin to Obama, who is also a young father. And because Cameron is arguably a conservative in a liberal country, while Obama is a liberal in a conservative country, Professor Blyth says the two actually meet somewhere in the middle.
Cameron has in the past questioned the concept of a special relationship, saying "the sooner we rediscover the right balance, the better for Britain and our alliance," though he reportedly reaffirmed ties during Obama's call on Tuesday and pledged continued military support in Afghanistan.
It may be noted that as Russia and US relations have warmed up over the past two years, their syllables have also matched up.
Medvedev, like Obama and Cameron, is a three-syllable name.
"I wouldn't go too far with this," says Dale. "That's more trivia than a policy question."

Seven Must-Attend Events If You're Going to SXSW
If you've ever been, you know that South by Southwest is a psychedelic triple-decker of pop-cultural happenings — a unique and staggeringly expansive event that brings the esoteric, alternative and obscure together with the hyped and headlined across the increasingly convergent worlds of music, film and technology. (Not to mention more recent and less high-profile categories like environmentalism and education.)
The best way to experience SXSWis to just do it — dive into the pool and go to whatever's most interesting and closest: Not everything's a masterpiece, but nearly everything's worth doing, including hanging out in hotel lobbies and striking up conversations with fascinating random strangers.
But for first-timers in need of a map — or Twitter gawkers in search of hashtags worth following — here's a set of seven must-dos (and seven backups in case of emergency):

Rodial Glamotox™
Rodial's known for their somewhat clinical approach to non-surgical beauty. Tummy tuck and the lot promise results without the need to go under the knife. That said, most of their products focus on the body.
Not any more. This fall, they're launching the lastest in facial skincare with Glamotox™, a 'glamorous alternative to botox'. This non-invasive alternative to surgery has SPF18 and micro-injected hyaluronic acid (the ingredient du jour, it's amazing for moisturising), pomegranate ellagic tannins (Rodial's hero ingredient), myrrh extract, peptides and vitamin c. Think of it as preventative and restorative moisturising.
It's £98 for a 50ml bottle. It is supposed to be available for sale in December.
PS: Look out for the a-list cleanser coming soon.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – No. 6 Stevens Institute of Technology topped No. 13 Eastern Mennonite University, 30-16, 30-23, 30-20, in the first round of the North East Collegiate Volleyball Association (NECVA) Championship Tournament on Friday. With the win, the nationally-ranked No. 6 Ducks improved to 22-6 on the year and will take on either Endicott College or SUNY New Paltz in quarterfinal action on Saturday.
The Royals closed their season with a ledger of 13-16. Tomas Bochicchio led a balanced Stevens' attack with 10 kills and a .381 hitting percentage to go along with six digs, four blocks, and three aces. Andrew Cranford notched nine kills and five aces as Joe Trinsey added eight kills. Doug Reger was a force to be reckoned with at the net as he totaled six blocks while Michael Bertucci registered five digs. Brandt Grobeis capped the match with 30 assists and four blocks.
Cody Kennedy posted 10 kills and two blocks as Kendall Garber added six kills for Eastern Mennonite. John Bottles tacked on seven digs and five kills while Cory Parsons contributed six digs. Nolan Prock dished out 30 assists as Frankie Coto notched four blocks.

Tiksi (the one who made the mission) simply made a mistake and forgot something. Yet, he didn't forget it randomly, but in a certain place - no brute-forcing required, at least none that needs you to write an app for it.
Well I ended up brute forcing it and completed the mission pretty easily. I still don't understand how could I do it without brute forcing, the place that the missing something was supposed to be in doesn't make any logical sense to me and seems like it was chosen randomly.

Did you know that "Mori-girl" style contrasts with "Gal" style? Students at Stevenson High School in Pebble Beach learned all about the nuances of Japanese teenage fashion styles when they were treated to presentations from 21 Kanda University scholars who are visiting the Monterey Institute of International Studies as part of a study abroad program. The Japanese scholars will enrich the curriculum of other students in the Monterey area in the coming days, with visits scheduled to the International School of Monterey and Stevenson lower school.
For the record, "Mori-girl" means forest girl, and signifies a style of fashion that typically involves teenage girls wearing floating dresses, second-hand clothes and little make-up. They are interested in the forest, Finland and fairies. In contrast, teenage girls that consider themselves "Gal-girls" are very trendy, and like to wear lots of both make-up and accessories. "Gal-girls" tend to have their own slang and the description made Stevenson teenagers think of the American style known as "Valley girls." How is that for teenage cultural exchange?

Coming up Slickenside Ridge past the last little slickenside, we came upon this whopper.
It's hard to tell from this photo, but fractured, brecciated, and slickensided dike rock on the far side of the fault plane is juxtaposed against more dike rock, which is what I'm standing on to take the photo. The fault is dipping more or less to the east, and the slickenlines are almost straight downdip (slightly oblique).
|A closter view of the lower part of the slickenside.
|An even closer view of the lower part of the slickensided surface.
We also noticed a nearby cross-cutting fault of minor displacement running about east-west, offsetting this fault and the faulted dike-dike contact by a few feet. Apparent offset across this cross fault was south side to the east (the fault was poorly exposed and dip direction wasn't obvious).
|View of "Dike Hill" across Water Canyon.
|We viewed the hill again a little higher up, from this little shadow created by an outcrop of quartzite.
Our hike wasn't over, though...

Seminar to feature tips on bridging cultural gaps in ministry
PLAINVIEW – With today's ever-changing society, finding various cultures within one community is not uncommon. Bridging those gaps can be a challenge, especially for those doing ministry in churches or individually.
In an effort to assist ministers and laypersons in this challenge, Wayland Baptist University will host a one-day seminar called "Crossing Cultures for Ministry," set for Feb. 26 in the McClung Center, room 211.
"With the mission field not only across the ocean but across your backyard, we hope this seminar will help churches prepare their members to be missionaries wherever they go," said Micheal Summers, director of church services at Wayland. "This will be valuable training for churches planning mission trips or mission activities in their neighborhoods."
Patty Lane, director of the Office of Intercultural Initiatives of the Baptist General Convention of Texas, will lead the seminar. Lane began her ministry with the BGCT in 1984, serving as an interculturalist in the Church Starting Center until assuming her current position in February 2001.
Lane has a bachelor's degree from Baylor University and the Master of Divinity from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. She has worked as a language missionary since 1987 and previously served as a journeyman to Israel. She has also done volunteer missions in several countries, including Singapore, Venezuela, Kenya, Iritrea and Nigeria. She has experience working with more than 47 different languages and culture groups.
Her first book, A Beginners Guide to Crossing Cultures, was released in Spring 2002 through Intervarsity Press. In her BGCT position, her primary responsibilities include encouraging and supporting churches and developing strategies to connect the needs and resources of ethnic churches with the needs and resources of the BGCT.
The workshop will be held from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., with lunch provided by the university. There is no charge to participate, and additional materials will be available for purchase. The event is sponsored by Wayland's Office of Church Services.
For more information, contact Summers at (806) 291-1165 or Lynette Bowen, ESL Consultant, at (806) 296-7310.

text: I'm wondering what directives to write to my apache 2 virtual hosts so as to start using a design based on the front controller pattern. To be more precise, my ajax requests would update the url hash fragment resulting in urls shown to user as: Code: http://www.mysite.com/#!/path/to/data&ui=123&var=456&id=2714 containing links of the form: Code: link or using the Hijax technique: Code: link (javascript handles all behavior of links) But as google instructs here the crawler will make the following request TO the server: Code: http://www.mysite.com/?_escaped_fragment_=/path/to/data&ui=123&var=456&id=2714 or using the Hijax technique (nothing new here): Code: http://www.mysite.com/index.php?/path/to/data&ui=123&var=456&id=2714 and the server SHOULD map these back to their ajax form plus a snapshot of the page! As you can see, one immediate solution comes from the front controller pattern: send all external requests of the form: Code: http://www.mysite.com/whatever/you/like to Code: http://www.mysite.com/index.php?/whatever/you/like and also force the user to see the new ajax version: Code: http://www.mysite.com/#!/whatever/you/like How can I do such generalized redirection in apache2? Thanks!

GAA stars Diarmuid Lyng, Eamon Fennell and Jane Adams were guests on RTE's Claire Byrne Live last night to explain why over 250 inter-county GAA players are going to sleep rough in solidarity with Ireland's homeless.
They were speaking on behalf of Gaelic Voices for Change which is a voluntary group of past and present inter-county GAA players who, supported by the Gaelic Players Association (GPA) and Women's Gaelic Players Association (WGPA), have come together to form 'Gaelic Voices for Change', a community action initiative that shines a light on important social issues.
Their initial focus is on the escalating housing and homeless crisis.
On December 16, they are planning a solidarity sleep-out in 11 towns and cities: Dublin, Galway, Cork, Limerick, New York, Belfast, Carlow, Naas, Portlaoise (Dec 15), Sligo, and Wexford.
Their aim is to generate solidarity, funds, awareness, and action.
All funds raised will go to registered charities including the Peter McVerry Trust, the Simon Communities, Focus Ireland, DePaul Ireland, the Capuchin Day Centre, Cope Galway, the Welcome Organisation and Thomand House.

Mr. Speaker, as co-chair of the Canada-Indonesia Parliamentary Friendship Group, I was delighted to welcome to Ottawa this week a delegation from the Indonesian house of representatives. Seven parliamentarians representing the Indonesia-Canada friendship group are in Canada this week meeting with Canadian lawmakers and administrators, seeking ways to better understand each other and to strengthen the relationship between our two countries.
Our members of Parliament and senators had a fruitful dialogue with the visiting MPs and we had the opportunity to exchange ideas on furthering our relationship. Topics raised included human rights, co-operation on fighting terrorism and Indonesia's role as a key player within ASEAN.
As they conclude their visit, I wish them a safe journey back to Indonesia.

Flash Fiction Series – The Calling of a Myth (Episode Five)
A bit late, but finally got around to publishing this new episode 🙂
Episode Five
'I have been told that the two investigators are at the military post near the city gates,' informed Xander as he perused a fruit-laden market stall outside the tavern he was staying in. 'I suggest we make our way there now.'
Justine retied her mass of blue hair into a ponytail as she watched people going in, out and past the tavern. A horrid silence had befallen her after the silver haired Evenian divulged the gruesome details about the Dark Blade assassins and what they were about. She had been shocked into silence by stories of these agents performing despicable tasks such as the killing of children, raping of girls barely of the legal age, and the slaughter of entire families. What made these tales worse was the fact that half of them were performed just for fun. The nauseated feeling she felt set in was still hanging in the pits of her soul.
As they both hurried down the cobbled paths toward the front of the city, Xander eyed his companion's discomfort. 'I'm… sorry; sorry you had to hear such stories, but you must know what we are up against if you are to decide whether or not to help me.'
Justine gritted her teeth as she hesitated to look him in the face. 'I… I just… I can't imagine the mentality of such acts – it's sick!' She kept her attentions on the road in front of her, a troubled sense of determination bleeding out into the street from her presence.
Xander lowered his head and bit his lower lip hard. 'Nothing about their mentality is understandable; I, of all people, know this.'
Tenrian removed his green hood as he entered the office of Captain Relphea, the officer in charge of the city's guard posts. Fiona followed closely behind her comrade, her face stern and tight-lipped.
Relphea looked up from her desk and the paperwork she was scribbling on. Her long black hair cascaded around her neck like a curtain that revealed nothing of what it hid. She wore a captain's insignia on the chest of her dark grey and gold uniform, a position that was hard to obtain unless someone was willing enough to work for it. Relphea had been nicknamed 'The Unwavering' due to her seemingly unshakeable resolve in getting things done.
Fiona addressed the captain, cautiously avoiding the piercing stare of her strong blue eyes – something she always did as she felt a certain degree of discomfort around her superior. 'Captain…'
'Fiona, Tenrian; what news from the latest attack?' The captain's voice was solid and unnaturally calm; a tone that could break stone without any resistance.
Tenrian folded his arms and weighted himself on his left. 'We came across something, at long last, that could give us a clue as to who's instigating these raids.'
Relphea put her quill down and leaned back in her chair, an expectant look on her face.
The hunter reached down to his thick leather belt and detached a small pouch, opening and placing it on the desk in front of the captain. 'We found this residue around a wound on one of the corpses at Pisca – I believe it to be a rare and exotic poison.'
Relphea arched forward to inspect the sample of the poisonous leftovers, but quickly recoiled from the pungent smell that wafted up her nose. She covered her face; her eyes closed and near watering point. 'And the barbarians have used this? Unusual…'
'I do not believe the barbarians used this,' Tenrian explained. 'I suspect that someone other than a barbarian was involved here, and I think the same person has had a direct involvement in the other raids.'
The captain eyed him with an indistinguishable scepticism. 'Who exactly?'
Fiona ended her silence. 'Ma'am, I'm afraid we don't know that vital piece of information, but the evidence before us at the scene led us to conclude that someone could very well be motivating these tribes to attack the villages under our jurisdiction.' She fell mute again as she caught Relphea's stare.
After a few moments contemplation the captain stood up from her seat, signalling Tenrian to cover up the foul smelling poison residue, which he did so swiftly. 'I will have you leave the evidence with our alchemists on your way out. Until we have an answer I am afraid you two will be twiddling your thumbs, so use this time to relax and have a break.'
They were dismissed with the wave of a gloved hand.
'You're looking rather nervous,' remarked Xander as he leaned against one of the sandstone pillars outside the guard post.
Justine scraped her nails against one another idly, her eyes fixed on the entrance as they waited for the two investigators to emerge. 'I hope you've been told correctly, Mister.' She could feel the presence of her Evenian counterpart all around her as if he was the very air that she was breathing.
'Relax,' he cooed. 'I'll do the talking.' He flicked his silvery mass of hair out of his eyes before tapping Justine on her shoulder. 'What made you decide to come with me anyway? Was it idle curiosity? Or is there something else?'
Her breath wavered as the question sank into her mind like water into a sponge. 'I…'
Xander unfolded his arms and turned, still looking at the back of her head. 'You…?'
Justine huffed to herself and hung her head. 'I suppose idle curiosity is a part of it…'
Her eyes closed. 'But… I dunno. There's something about this situation I really don't like. Maybe I'm looking for some kind of truth.'
'What is it about the situation you don't like?' He moved so he was in front of her. 'Tell me – you can trust me.'
She lifted her head cautiously and looked at Xander's face before her mouth opened to say what was on her mind. It was then that her eyes darted to one side as she observed two figures, which were not dressed like the other soldiers, exit the guard post. One was a blonde haired woman with an exquisite set of light flexi-armour and a dark blue and silver cape; the other was a man judging by the build, with a dark green hood and tight-fitting green tunic that had two thick, brown leather straps crossing diagonally over the chest, a single silver chest plate, dark brown trousers and boots. Justine assumed it was the two Xander was after.
'I believe they are the two we're after,' said Xander as he turned his head and watched them trudge off into town. 'We'll have to tail them.'
'Why not just go up to them? It'd be much easier, not to mention quicker,' suggested Justine.
Xander shook his head as they made their way after the two investigators at a safe distance. 'Doing that in front of everyone would cause unnecessary attention to be had. It'd be better to approach them in a more deserted place.'
Justine raised an eyebrow. 'Oh yes, because that wouldn't put them on edge.'
'Just… trust me, OK?'
They followed the two figures down a variety of crowded streets and wide roads. It seemed as if they were toying with them, or maybe just sightseeing aimlessly.
It got to a point where Justine became uneasy. 'I suspect they know we're following them.'
'You reckon?' Xander pulled his hood up and kept a sharp eye out.
'Well they've been wandering around the city now for the best part of half an hour and they aren't really stopping to look at anything or talk to anyone.' Justine was beginning to let her nerves overtake her, her heart beating furiously like a caged angry cat.
They saw their targets take a sharp turn into a side street and they pursued as quickly as possible… only to find an empty passageway.
Xander clenched his fists together as he looked behind them, up into the air, and then began to check the dark shadows in front of them.
Justine, on the other hand, had begun to let her nerves get the better of her. 'I can't see them anywhere,' she exclaimed in a soft panic.
'How did they elude us so quickly?'
It was then that Justine breathed in sharply, her eyes turning towards Xander. 'They're still here…'
A sudden scuffling of feet, unsheathing of metal, and grunts of painful confrontation ensued until Justine was pressed up against the wall with a gloved hand over her mouth and a knife against her throat. Xander had been kidney punched by a metallic fist before he felt the tip of a longsword pressed against his chest.
'You've been following us for over half an hour,' Fiona growled firmly, her voice never once losing any control in its command. 'What are you after?'
Xander had his hands nursing his side as he looked up at the ferociously resilient warrior woman. He slowly removed his hood and gazed into her eyes. 'We're here about your investigation.'
Tenrian glared at Xander from within the refuge of his green hood as he held the shivering, blue haired girl firmly. 'What do you know of our investigation?'
With a tearful quiver, Justine spoke. 'He… knows who's behind it all.'

We are "ETSU"
The ETSU Department of Intercollegiate Athletics would like to ask both the print and broadcast media to honor our request to be called "ETSU" ... East Tennessee State in first reference is acceptable, but subsequent references should be ETSU ... On TV graphics please use ETSU ... Our nickname is the Buccaneers, but Bucs is also acceptable.
Buc bits
The ETSU men's basketball team only added to its rich history of success during the 2009-10 season, capturing its second straight Atlantic Sun Conference Championship and earning the program's ninth trip all-time to the NCAA Tournament ... Posting the program's fourth 20-win season in the past seven years, the Bucs overcame multiple challenges during the season before dropping Mercer in the A-Sun finals.
ETSU basketball weekly update
The ETSU men's basketball team went 2-1 in action last week, picking up wins over Lipscomb (68-67) and USC Upstate (67-52), while dropping a hard fought game to Belmont (72-62) � The Buccaneers stand at 14-8 overall, 9-2 in A-Sun action, and are just one game back of Belmont in the league standings � Senior guard Micah Williams (Manchester) will enter the Bucs next game just 14 points shy of 1,000 for his career, while fellow senior Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.) eclipsed the 1,500-point mark during his 22-point effort against USC Upstate on Jan. 25 � Smith continues to lead the Bucs offensively with 16.2 points per game, and ranks second on the team with 7.2 rebounds a contest � Senior guard Justin Tubbs (Trussville, Ala.) continues to nurse an ankle injury suffered during the Lipscomb game - he has missed the Bucs' last two games and is listed as day-to-day � ETSU will wrap up its current five-game home stand this week with games against Kennesaw State (Jan. 29) and Mercer (Jan. 31) � For more on ETSU men's basketball, visit ETSUBucs.com and click on the men's basketball link.
The series versus Kennesaw State
The Bucs are 10-1 all-time against the Owls, including an 80-69 win over Kennesaw State in their last meeting, which occurred back on Jan. 5 of this year.
Last time against Kennesaw State
KENNESAW, Ga. (Jan. 5, 2011) - Senior guard Justin Tubbs (Trussville, Ala.) scored a game-high 21 points and junior point guard Adam Sollazzo (Tampa) continued his strong play, as the ETSU men's basketball team completed a two-game sweep on the road by dropping Atlantic Sun Conference foe Kennesaw State 80-69 inside the KSU Convocation Center. ... Along with Tubbs' effort, Sollazzo scored 13 points and dished out nine assists, while senior guard Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo) and Micah Williams (Manchester) netted 17 and 16 points, respectively. ... The Bucs shot 52.4 percent from the floor, 42.9 percent from beyond the 3-point arc, and out-rebounded the Owls 34-28 for the game. ETSU also committed just seven turnovers. ... In the first half both teams raced out of the gates offensively and combined to score 24 points in the first five minutes of play. ETSU led 14-10 with 14:26 left on the clock at that point, and increased its advantage to 28-13 thanks to a 12-0 offensive run midway through the half. ... Kennesaw State managed to cut the lead to 10 at 35-25, but the Bucs closed out the half on a 5-0 run to hold a 40-25 edge at the break. ... Tubbs led the way early with 16 first-half points, while Sollazzo continued his solid play with eight points and six assists before in the break. ... In the second half, an emphatic dunk from Sollazzo followed by another 3-pointer from Tubbs put ETSU up 55-39 with 15 minutes left in the game. KSU rallied again to cut the lead to nine at 62-53 with just nine minutes remaining. ... ETSU responded at that point with an 8-0 run to push the lead back to 70-53 with just over five minutes left on the clock.
Last time out
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Jan. 23, 2011) - Senior guard Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.) scored a game-high 22 points and eclipsed 1,500 points for his career, leading the ETSU men's basketball team to a 67-52 win over Atlantic Sun Conference foe USC Upstate evening inside the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center. ...

With the win, ETSU improves to 14-8 overall, 9-2 in A-Sun action, having won 10 of its last 11 games. Meanwhile, Upstate drops to 2-18, 1-9. ... Smith, Williams and Sollazzo, along with sophomore guard Sheldon Cooley (Tampa) accounted for 62 of the Bucs' 67 points on the night. ETSU shot 46 percent from the floor and 38 percent from 3-point range, while also connecting on 79 percent of its shots from the foul line. ... Meanwhile, the ETSU defense was stifling, forcing 14 turnovers and holding the Spartans to just 31 percent shooting from the floor and 17 percent from 3-point range. However, the Bucs were outrebounded by nine (39-30). ... The Bucs overcame a sluggish start in the first half after falling behind by as many as five points at 15-10 with just over 12 minutes left before the intermission. Breaking out its "white" pressing defense, ETSU gave the Upstate offense fits, creating multiple turnovers and putting together a 7-0 run to close out the half and enjoy a 31-24 lead heading to the locker room. ... After the intermission, ETSU raced ahead by 12 at 48-36 but Upstate answered with a 10-5 run to cut the lead to six at 55-49 with four minutes left in the game. From there, though, the Bucs ramped up the defensive pressure and outscored the Spartans 12-3 the rest of the way.
Williams chasing 1,000; Smith moving up scoring list
While senior Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.) is already a member of the 1,000-point club, fellow senior Micah Williams has a shot at making it to the group., Meanwhile, Smith continues to climb the all-time scoring chart. Below are numbers for both players:
Name Current Points
Micah Williams 986
With those point totals, Williams would need to average just 1.5 points a game for the Bucs' final 10 regular season games to reach 1,000. Smith stands at 1,513 points, and just recently overtook former Buccaneer great Zakee Wadood (Lonoke, Ark.) for No. 8 on the ETSU all-time scoring list. Here are is the breakdown:
Name Place Points
Troy Lee Mikell No. 7 1,684
Mike Smith No. 8 1,513
Zakee Wadood No. 9 1,382
Harley Swift No. 10 1,367
Smith's 20/20 vision leads Bucs over FGCU
With his 20-point and 20-rebound effort against Florida Gulf Coast on Jan. 8, 2011, senior guard Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.) made history ... According to the statistics available to the ETSU media relations office, Smith was the first Buccaneer since Feb. 14, 1959 to post a 20/20 effort ... The last was Buc great Tom Chilton, who scored 35 points and grabbed 25 rebounds in a win over Wofford during the 1959 season. ... In addition, Smith is only the third player nationally to achieve that mark this season.
Sollazzo rolling in last
12 games for ETSU
Junior guard Adam Sollazzo (Tampa) has really found his rhythm in the last 12 games, leading the team with 4.3 assists per game, and ranking third on the team with 12.7 points per game ... In those 12 games Sollazzo is shooting an impressive 53-of-85 from the field for a 65 percent clip ... he is also averaging 2.4 rpg in this stretch ... The Bucs are 10-2 during these past 12 games.
Bartow gets wins No. 250 overall and 150 at ETSU;
ranks among best coaches in last five years
With his team's win over Florida Gulf Coast on Jan. 8, ETSU head coach Murry Bartow picked up his 250th career victory ... He then collected his 150th win at ETSU when the Bucs downed Jacksonville on Jan. 15 ... When looking at coaches across the country, ETSU head coach Murry Bartow stands among a select group ... Of those coaches that have been at their current school for at least five years, only 24 have averaged better than 20 wins a season ... That list includes coaches such as Dayton's Brian Gregory, Syracuse's Jim Boeheim, UConn's Jim Calhoun, Florida's Billy Donovan, Michigan State's Tom Izzo, Duke's Mike Kryzewski, Louisville's Rick Pitino, Kansas' Bill Self, Maryland's Gary Williams and North Carolina's Roy Williams ... The list also includes Bartow, who is average 20.2 wins a year since 2005-06.
Bucs help bolster A-Sun to strong RPI standings
With a pair of signature wins already this season, the ETSU men's basketball team - along with other members of the Atlantic Sun Conference - is doing its part to put the league in some impressive company on the national hoops stage. ... With wins over Atlantic 10 Conference stalwart Dayton and Southeastern Conference West Division favorite Mississippi State, the Buccaneers have helped the A-Sun generate plenty of waves across the board in the national RPI rankings. As a result, one month into the 2010-11 NCAA men's basketball season, the Atlantic Sun Conference is ranked ahead of other mid-major leagues including the Southern, Ohio Valley, Big South, West Coast, Mid-American, WAC and Sun Belt. ... The A-Sun remains among the top half of the conferences in the country. CollegeRPI.com ranks the A-Sun 14th, immediately behind the Horizon, Conference USA and Missouri Valley, and ahead of the conferences mentioned above. Against the Southern, Big South, Sun Belt and Ohio Valley conferences, the A-Sun owns a 15-8 mark. ... The conference has more than held its own against the BCS conferences. With ETSU's win at Mississippi State, the conference grabbed its fifth win against the "Power-6" leagues. No conference eligible for consideration for the CollegeInsider.com Mid-Major Top 25 poll owns as many BCS wins as the A-Sun. The five wins represent the most for the league since 2007-08.
Home Sweet Dome
Since the 1996-97 season, the Buccaneers are an amazing 146-46 inside Memorial Center, good for a winning percentage of 76 percent ... The Bucs had won five straight at Memorial Center during the 2006-07 season before a loss to Belmont (1/2) ... The Bucs then rattled off 10 straight at home to stand at 15-1 on the Memorial Center floor that season ... In 2007-08, the Bucs were 11-2 at Memorial Center ... In 2008-09, the Bucs were again 11-2 at home, and last year the team dropped off to a 9-5 clip at the Dome ... This season, the Bucs are 7-1at home.
"Big 3" hitting key to Bucs' success
Coming into this season, the Bucs were counting on quality offensive production from their "Big 3" senior guards in Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.), Justin Tubbs (Trussville, Ala.) and Micah Williams (Manchester) ... All three have had double-figure scoring seasons in the past ... However, so far this season, six of the Bucs' seven losses have coincided with poor output from the trio .

Installing an all-in-one printer device in Debian
Recently I had cause to buy a scanner. Being in a reasonably small home I was eager to save on desk-space, and so decided to upgrade my ageing inkjet printer at the same time. Having looked around I eventually went for an HP Photosmart C5180 device. This is my experience of installing it on Debian Lenny.

Summer Jobs Galore
Many high schools are about to let out for the summer (if they aren't already). What better way to end the school year than by having a job lined up for the summer?
Ok … so you might think that there are better ways to spend your summer, but don't roll your eyes yet. Having a job or internship now will not only give you a few extra dollars of spending money, but it would also help prepare you for life after graduation.
There are a multitude of summer job options out there in Georgia. The Georgia Department of Labor provides career centers in a variety of locations to help counsel you while looking for a job. They also hold job fairs and other events bringing together countless employers looking for new hires.
You can also always have an internship or become a volunteer. Some places that offer great opportunities are the Boys and Girls Clubs, YMCAs, libraries, humane societies, parks, summer camps or city, county and state governments.
If I haven't convinced you yet, here's a quick list of benefits you can receive by working during the summer:
- On-the-job training
- Gaining experience in certain fields
- Helping to tone your career path (by weeding out things you dislike)
- Developing an extensive career network
- Gaining school credit for some internships
However, be sure to keep in mind the Federal and State Child Labor Laws enforced in Georgia. For example, those working under the age of 18 need to have a work permit (only if you're getting paid — you don't need one if you're volunteering). Also, keep in mind that if there's a difference between the two levels (federal or state) the stricter law is usually the one enforced.
Be sure to check out the Department of Labor's FAQ section for more information about child labor laws in Georgia.
Even the smallest/simplest of jobs can help tone a variety of skills that can be beneficial in college and outside of school. Why not take this opportunity to help advance your future?

1. Re: Connect to a MS SQL Server databaseatta707 Jun 11, 2008 4:09 AM (in response to phatnq2002)You can't!
Flex cannot *directly* connect to SQL Server or any other database for that matter.
You get data into flex using a HTTP layer: like for example using a ASP or ASP.NET page to generate XML -- or any other format of your choice JSON, CVS -- use HTTPService class, send a request to your server, get the data using result event of the class and do whatever you want to do wit this data.
Similarly, you'll need to post the data to the server over HTTP and store in the database.
There is no FDBC, like JDBC and ODBC!
2. Re: Connect to a MS SQL Server databasephatnq2002 Jun 11, 2008 7:41 PM (in response to atta707)Thanks atta707,
In accordance with you answer, we must export data from a table (or more) in SQL Server database to a XML data. It seems taking more time and hard to coding.
So, please tell me how to find a tool or a component that help me to do this.
Thanks again.
3. Re: Connect to a MS SQL Server databaseatta707 Jun 11, 2008 8:37 PM (in response to phatnq2002)No. You don't have to.
Consider a ASP.NET page. It can connect to SQL Server using ODBC driver -- or whatever MS call the driver these days -- you run your query and get a result set. you process the result set and convert it to an XML string. Maybe using some library or built-in support for XML in .NET framework. Now you XML ready. Just write to the Response object of your page.
Have you made any Ajax calls for data in your project? If so, you already know how to get this data in Flex. Using HTTPService class instead of XMLHTTPRequest.
4. Re: Connect to a MS SQL Server databasephatnq2002 Jun 12, 2008 12:03 AM (in response to phatnq2002)atta707,
Can you send me a sample using an ASP.NET page to connect to SQL Server?
Sorry, disturb you more.
5. Re: Connect to a MS SQL Server databaseFlexPrashant Jun 12, 2008 5:07 AM (in response to phatnq2002)it's very simple you just need to give url in httpservices of your aspx page.......... Instead to using aspx page use webservice in asp.net ........

FTR...Pappa John told the public that he had tomatoes grown for his particular pies and was sued. He lost that suit. No comparison. None whatsoever!
San Marzano DOP tomato's are known to be of superior quality.Anyone can see that those Cali one's in the white can with the bright colored lettering is a misleading "rip off" on the San Marzano name......Sheeesh!
In the case of the California canned San Marzano tomatoes, from SiLtd (Simpson Imports), the label on the can clearly states that the tomatoes are grown in the U.S.
But it says "San Marzano" all over the can. And most people probably don't know "Grown domestically in the U.S.A." also means "not San Marzano."
Most people don't have the slightest idea what San Marzano means period.
But it says "San Marzano" all over the can. And most people probably don't know "Grown domestically in the U.S.A." also means "not San Marzano."I remember the first time I saw those cans. I didn't know if they were San Marzanos or not. In fact, I wasn't sure for a long time, even though I had already done a good bit of research on the subject.If I wasn't a pizza nut, I would never notice the part of the label that says "Grown domestically in the U.S.A." All I would see is the four large tomatoes that say "San Marzano" in large print. And I think most of the people who buy those cans buy them because they think the can has San Marzano tomatoes in it.
I think enough people do have the slightest idea what "San Marzano" is supposed to mean, which is why these cans bother me.
I don't know if Cento DOP San Marzanos are really San Marzanos, even though they have all the proper labeling. But what I do know is that they always taste amazing. I've gone through two cans of Stanislaus Saporito Filetto di Pomodoro in the last month, and they're not as good as Cento DOPs. But I didn't expect them to be as good, and they're not labeled in a way that would make me expect them to be as good as San Marzanos.
You're not telling people that 40% hydration is OK for Neapolitan pizza dough, are you? Why not? My guess is because 40% is not OK for Neapolitan. I'm guessing you don't tell them that because if you tell them 40% is OK, you know you won't be helping them in any way.I'm sure you're gonna tell me my analogy is apples and oranges, so go ahead. But explain why this time.
I believe the reason why no such suit has been initiated (as far as I know) after all these years is because San Marzano is a varietal. In addition, Simpson Limited has clearly stated that their tomatoes are grown in the U.S. That takes us back to buyer beware. Peter
Georgia Vidalia onions couldn't be grown in other areas due to the composition of the Georgia soil. No where else could produce an onion as sweet. I forget what it was in the soil, but whenever people tried to transplant them out of state, they didn't get the same onion. I don't know whether that might hold true with tomatoes, but I do believe in terroir making a difference in flavors personally. Well, certain things, with cheese and sourdough starters for example.
Cory, Don't know if you knew this but there are other places that have sweet onions too that are indigenous to their area.Texas has their 1015 Super Sweet(planted on Oct.15) and Washington has what's called Walla Walla's. I think Hawaii has a particular sweet onion too.
I'm sorry Craig.....we prolly posted at the same time, yeah riiiight! OK, now this has turned informative. Would you mind telling me the correct word to be used instead of indigenous."The Walla Walla sweet onion is named for Walla Walla county in Washington where it is grown.[1] Its development began around 1900 when Peter Pieri, a French soldier who settled in the area, brought a sweet onion seed from the island of Corsica with him to the Walla Walla Valley.[2] This sweet onion was developed by selecting and reseeding onions from each year's crop that possessed sweetness, jumbo size, and round shape."So, this onion is indigenous to Corsica..correct? Now, what is it's relationship(correct word) to Walla Walla county? Thanks.

Molly Woolsey of St. Paul was 19 when her anorexia was diagnosed. She's struggled with it all her life.
Once she passed her 20s, Woolsey said, passersby assumed she had cancer or another terminal illness because she was so thin.
"It doesn't occur to them that someone my age could have an eating disorder," said Woolsey, now 45.
Anorexia, binge eating and bulimia are considered afflictions of teenage girls or women in their 20s. But increasingly, older women are admitting to eating disorder symptoms, which put them at higher risk for a wide range of health problems.
"Nine years ago, the mean age for anorexia nervosa was reported to be between 15 and 19 and the mean age for bulimia presentation was 23," said Cynthia Bulik, director of the University of North Carolina Eating Disorders Program. "Now, over half of the women presenting for treatment in our program are over the age of 30."
Bulik was the leader of a study published in the International Journal of Eating Disorders, which showed that more than 13 percent of women age 50 and older have reported eating disorder symptoms. Eight percent reported purging; nearly 4 percent binge eating. And 12 percent admitted to using unhealthful methods of dieting to lose weight, such as laxatives or diet pills.
Bulik said eating disorders in older women can primarily be traced to a culture that "doesn't allow us to look our age. Now that 70 is the new 50, women feel pressure to keep up their appearance."
Repeatedly engaging in bingeing weakens bodies young and old, but eating disorders exact greater punishments on women who may already be on the decline physically because of aging.
Older women with eating disorders are often at higher risk for osteoporosis, gastrointestinal ailments, heart and dental problems. "These disorders wreak such havoc on younger bodies, and older bodies are less resilient," Bulik said.
And while older women with eating disorders are more likely to seek treatment on their own, doctors are sometimes missing diagnoses because they aren't looking for it in middle-age patients, Bulik said. "I have had women tell me they got up the courage to go to their doctor and say, 'I think I have bulimia,' only to have him tell her, no, that's a young woman's disorder."
Woolsey said she's feeling the effects on her body more intensely than she did in her teens.
"I get tired so much more easily now," she said. "I just don't have the stamina. I'm also a compulsive exerciser, so I have to remind myself I'm not lazy -- I have a disorder."
The survey didn't collect data on whether it was the first time the women had developed symptoms, but Bulik said that based on clinical observation, she estimates that a majority had problems as teens or young adults that may or may not have been recognized at the time, got better and then relapsed later in life. About 20 percent have suffered chronically their entire lives, and 10 percent were developing their symptoms for the first time.
The study's results don't surprise Jillian Lampert, director of the Emily Program in St. Paul. In the past four years, 10 to 15 percent of the eating disorder treatment center's 8,300-plus clients have been between ages 50 and 87.
"We now know it is a common occurrence, and many are suffering in silence," Lampert said. "It is common that they have been dealing, alone, with an illness that is treatable for a significant amount of time because they're reluctant, at their age, to disclose struggles with food and body image."
Avoiding the truth
A 54-year-old Minneapolis nurse named Ann, who didn't want her last name used because she has kept her eating disorder a secret from her siblings, fits that description. More than 100 pounds overweight due to compulsive overeating, she recently received from the Emily Program a diagnosis of a common, catch-all type of eating disorder involving a combination of symptoms, like bingeing and occasionally purging.
"It's really a shame-based illness," she said. "I feel like as a nurse, I should know better, but it's not about sticking with a food plan, it's about the underlying issues and how we deal with them."
During a recent session with a counselor to discuss other issues, the counselor immediately suggested that Ann look into eating-disorder treatment.
"I didn't know there was help available," she said. "I felt such relief when I heard her say that."
Sometimes people are unaware that treatment resources exist, or that the problem they have even has a name, Lampert said. "Some worry that they will be 'too old' for treatment, or fear stigma if they disclose struggling with an eating disorder."
Woolsey said that another difference about being middle-aged with an eating disorder is that there is no parent pushing her to get treatment. She has to do it on her own.
"You tell yourself you shouldn't need anyone else's help anymore," she said. "But I've realized if I could do it on my own, I would have."
Some people have a genetic predisposition to eating disorders, Bulik said, "but it doesn't act alone. It's pals with environmental triggers."
When Woolsey was young, her emotional trigger was about fitting a magazine image. Now, it's her isolation and "being critical of myself," she said.
In older women, those triggers might be a major change such as empty nest or divorce, especially if a husband has left her for a younger woman.
"That often leads to intense feelings of physical inadequacy," Bulik said, adding that the beauty industry compounds the problem by encouraging women to be discontented with the way they look. "They are no longer allowed to look old or have their bodies expand the way 50-year-old bodies like to do. It's almost like it's your responsibility to buy these products or get this surgery so you won't appear to age."
Bulik was surprised by one trigger she hadn't seen coming -- financial uncertainty. "Worrying about whether they'll be able to retire, whether they'll have enough to live on for the rest of their lives, can cause major stress."
Passing it on
Lampert said the growing number of older women with eating disorders is doubly concerning because the anxieties that cause one generation to develop an eating disorder can be passed to the next.
Ann, who met with a nutritionist this month to start her treatment plan, said she thinks her two daughters have food issues related to her own.
"It was always an issue in our household," she said. "If you're thinking about food all the time, it takes a lot of time and energy away from normal living. Now that I'm getting help, I hope I can lead by example."

First look at Intrepid Ibex
November 1, 2008
In the wee hours of this morning I decided to upgrade from my much loved Hardy Heron installation on my trusty Dell Inspiron 9400 (e1705 for you yanks out there) and give Intrepid Ibex a run. At this point I'd like to digress for a second and state that I'm convinced that the person who designed this laptop probably also is responsible for the design of the sherman tank. This thing is friggen' huge – it's claim to portability is roughly the same as that of a spare truck tyre. Sure you probably could drag one around but it really belongs strapped to 20 tons of Detroit muscle to make it easy. Once I had to carry it into work every day for a fortnight. I swear the resultant chiropractic bills coulda bought me a new cheaper, lighter laptop. Anyway enough whinging, gotta leave some room for what's to come.
Although Intrepid doesn't boast much in the way of new features, I was excited to hear that the Canonical team had spent a fair amount of time and effort improving the stability of the distro and fixing bugs. Considering I already thought Hardy Heron was getting pretty damn close to M$ Windows killer (I even managed to shun Vista entirely and used it exclusively for a period of about 3 months), I thought surely this latest release was gonna be "the one".
Given that I already had an existing Ubuntu install with a separate home partition I thought I'd simply overwrite the root partition with the latest incarnation. I was impressed as always with the graphical installer, and the process of performing the upgrade was relatively painless. Feeling rather happy that it had all gone so smoothly I quickly rebooted and logged with baited breath. The system logged in and detected my wireless and ATI graphics card within seconds of logging in. I was really impressed at that point and decided to grab the latest updates off the web. Imagine my disappointment then, when everything came to a screeching halt about 5 min later and about halfway through downloading the latest kernel patch.
Now I'm no stranger to these sort of happenings in Linux, especially when it comes to laptops. The first thing I checked was the temperature of the case by running the back of my hand under the laptop and bingo! The thing was more steamed up than a shower scene with Sharon Stone. Immediately I thought to myself, oh great we're back to the Edgy days when I'd struggle to keep a lid on the CPU temp of my Inspiron 5150 at 75 degrees Celsius (scary huh). To be honest I was majorly boned about this, I really though they'd sorted out all the ACPI shite in earlier releases. I was just about to give up and revert back to the venerable Heron when I noticed a curious thing. Then hot spot wasn't anywhere near the CPU!
Turns out my Intel 3945ABG wifi card was trying to turn itself into a mini supernova right from the comfort of my desk. Disabling the wifi card and running using the wired NIC confirmed my suspicions. No lockups, nothing. She was solid as a rock. Turn the wifi card back on and bam! My laptop was cookies (as in baked) within a minute or two. Now that really had me scratching my head. What the hell had they done to the wireless driver stack to hurt my wifi card's feelings so badly? I mean you shoulda been there, he was really hot under the collar about it all.
Thankfully I stumbled upon a post or two on the Ubuntu forums from people with the same card experiencing similar conflagrations breaking out on their desks spontaneously. The solution was rather straight forward. I simply went to http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Download and followed their instructions to compile a new driver and presto I had my wireless back.
Now where was I? Oh yeah I was supposed to be feeding you some sycophantic review about how good Intrepid (ergo Linux) is and how much M$ suck. Well I'm not going to – go to ITWire if you want to read one of those.
So what do I think? Well driver issues aside Intrepid's not bad, I particularly like the new dark theme. Given the aim of this release I think I'm going to withhold judgement till I've been living with it for a few weeks and see if it lives up to Canonical's claims of a more stable and reliable OS.

Drinking Party-Parents Fined
WAUKESHA, Wis. (AP) – A Waukesha County couple and their teenage son have agreed to pay reduced fines for hosting a drinking party that led to a crash that killed three young people. Prosecutors agreed to drop some of the 26 citations issued to Scott and Charlene Wetzel, of Pewaukee, and their son, Jason, for supplying alcohol to underage guests last July. District Attorney Brad Schimel says no criminal charges could be filed because the guests were 18. Three 18-year-olds who had been at the party died after their car slammed into a tree in Delafield. The victims were all students at Arrowhead High School. Schimel tells the Journal Sentinel (http://bit.ly/ZPKMdz ) that he believes the total fine of $2,700 will be a substantial lesson for the Wetzels. Defense attorney Anthony Cotton says it's a fair outcome of the case.

I did not receive any questions this week. When this happens, I try to write about a public safety-related issue I've noticed in the area.
I did not receive any questions this week. When this happens, I try to write about a public safety-related issue I've noticed in the area.
This week I would like to remind everyone of the importance of address signs. A highly visible sign is important for emergency responders to locate your home or business during an emergency.
I have responded to many emergencies and I know that response time becomes delayed when responders cannot locate an address because there is a missing, damaged, or non-visible address sign.
Remember that responders are not as familiar with your home as you are, and even with the help of GPS and dispatching technology, we still rely on address signs to find addresses.In emergencies, seconds matter, so help make sure that the time is not wasted looking for your home or business.
Make sure you have an address sign that is visible from the road in both directions, is not obstructed, and that the numbers contrast well with its background.Most counties, including Ionia, have ordinances that require these signs. To paraphrase Ionia County's ordinance, addresses must have a sign with visibly contrasting and reflective numbers at least 3 inches tall.
If your home or business is not visible or it is more than 100 feet from the road, a sign must be posted within 20 feet of the middle of your driveway and within 10-20 feet from the edge of the road, visible in both directions. It must also be posted between four and six feet from the ground.
If you need a new or replacement sign, kits are available online and at many hardware stores. You can also order them from a sign making business.

In our previous issue, we said a digital output module could be tested by using the PLC logic to force the output on and off then and observing the module's response. If the module doesn't respond, replace it.
But what if the replacement module doesn't respond? Test both modules in a known working loop. If either one works there but not in the loop that's faulty, then the problem obviously isn't the module. It's in the backplane, cabling, or some other area between the module and the PLC logic.
Let's say the module was faulty, and now you have a replacement, but the loop still isn't working even though the module lights change as expected. Disconnect the field wiring, connect a simulated load on the module, and test again. If you don't have a loop simulator capable of providing the simulated load this loop requires, you could use a known good field device (e.g., a solenoid) connected in place of the field side of the loop. Just be sure you're using something appropriate to the module in question, and you aren't removing loop power.
If the module responds properly with the simulated load, test in the other direction by connecting a simulated module output to the field wiring. You should see, in this direction, the same failure, because you have ruled out the output module. Now, turn your attention to the field wiring.

The Red Sox did something yesterday I wish the New York Mets had done, and something I suggested before. I realize I'm in the minority on this, but I wish they signed Grady Sizemore.
You read that correctly. For the bargain-basement price of $750,000 – with incentive clauses on games played and plate appearances that could reach $5 million – the Red Sox took a gamble on a former All-Star.
From 2005-2008, Sizemore averaged 27 homers and 81 RBI with the Indians and was on the cusp for becoming one of the game's best players before his career hit an injury-plagued tailspin. Then, from 2009 on, he's had six operations, including his left (throwing elbow), two hernias, two knee operations – one on each side – and his lower back.
He missed all of last season rehabbing his right knee and back.
That's a lot of cutting and the odds are long on him returning to star status. If he doesn't, the Red Sox would only be out $750,000, which in today's baseball economy is chump change – even by Mets' standards.
It would have been a low-risk, high-reward gamble for the Mets. Conversely, they'll give Chris Young $7.25 million, which I still can't get over.
The probability of Sizemore reaching the 27-81 plateaus is long, but the Mets would take – and be happy with – a lot less for fewer than a million. Plus, his reputation of a hard worker and gamer would be good examples for a young team, and you don't think Juan Lagares can't learn a thing or two about playing centerfield from Sizemore?
I always liked Sizemore and hate to see a promising career go down as his has done. But, I also like comeback stories and Sizemore would have been a good one. Again, I know I am in the minority on this, but I'm allowed to cheer for good stories and it would have been fun to see it happen at Citi Field.
ON DECK: Mets sign Duda. All arbitration players locked up.
