Indulge us, if you will, the latitude to contradict1 ourselves.2
If years of reading this blog hasn't led you to the notion that we don't put much stock into Spring Training, then perhaps you've missed the past few years where we refer to this part of the schedule as "fake games".
And yet...tilt your head in just the right way, and there's something to be gleaned from the collected output of 21 exhibition matches. Not that we think that they are overly predictive, but some of the whatnot and wherefore makes for amusing chatter. So here are a few curios that we've plucked out of the pile.
Iron Men: Both Jonathan Diaz and David Cooper have played in 20 games thus far in the spring, most of any of the Dunedin denizens. Though most of those appearances have come off the bench, allowing their big league brethren to peel out of the parking lot before the last pitch is thrown, we suspect that the brain trust have chosen to take a longer look at them in the pre-season. Same goes for Eric Thames, whose 46 ABs (in 18 games) are most this spring for the Jays.
Why the lingering gaze? In the case of Thames and Cooper, we get the sense that a decision has to be made within the next 12 months on where they fit in the plans for the future, and this spring is a crucial piece of their evaluations. Neither player is heading north any time soon, but the 2012-2013 rosters are beginning to take shape. And as well as they've performed so far, we suspect that neither will have any sort of profound impact on those future contenders.
As for Diaz, he sounds as though he's in possession of a magnificent glove, though his acumen with the bat makes Mike McCoy seem like the Splendid Splinter. Our guess is that he's a body who can fill in at enough positions to get the Jays through the overly long tune-up period.
Ratios! We heard ESPN fantasy dude Nate Ravitz make mention on his podcast this week that the only stat he observes through the spring are K-to-walk ratios for pitchers. Which seems about right to us, especially with his proviso that the ratio has to be really impressive or really bad to catch his attention. So here's what we found upon a brief review of the Jays' hurlers:
Jesse Litsch - 17Ks/3 BBs. Woah. If we had any reservation about his spot in the rotation, it's probably gone. For now.
Brandon Morrow - 16Ks/3 BBs. Okay, we're not going to put too much stock into this...But Jesse Litsch's K/BB ratio is slightly better than Brandon Morrow's so far. Roll that around your noggin for a while.
Kyle Drabek - 9Ks/1 BB. Still under a strikeout per inning pitched, but you at least have a sense that he's ready to step in as the fourth/fifth guy and work his way up the ladder.
Bret Cecil - 10Ks/4BBs. Sounds about right.
Ricky Romero - 10Ks/9BBs. Aside from Aaron Hill's spotty attendance record so far, this is the March development that concerns us most. When we watched him a few weekends ago, he looked as though he had great control over all his pitches...so we'll chalk this up to spring experimentation.
David Purcey - 5Ks/7BBs. That's how you pitch your way out of town. Or pitch Marc Rzepczynski (9/6) into contention for your spot in the bullpen.
Other fun numbers of note: The Jays are taking a lot of walks so far, with J.P. Arencibia leading the way with six (tied with Thames). For all of the talk about his bad start at the plate, we'll gladly take the walks...Rajai Davis is slugging .639, with three homers and five doubles so far. Now that's our kind of slap-hitter...Yunel Escobar has 16 hits and five walks so far, which gives us a modicum of hope that he'll be back to a 3ish WAR.
So that's about it. We could really parse these numb3rs and try to figure out who the killer is before the third commercial break, but that would just make us look silly, wouldn't it?
1. Walt Whitman wrote: Do I contradict myself? Very well then I contradict myself, (I am large, I contain multitudes.) So there.
2. Amongst the hazards of my continuing insistence on using this "we" voice is getting stuck with this awkward quandry: "ourself" or "ourselves"? Either way sounds wrong. Comes off simultaneously as oafish and poofy . No small feat, that.

After a dry winter and a warm, dry spring, bud break in Alsace came early in 2011. Flowering followed suit in the midst of record high temperatures, and a potentially large crop was set. From June on however, normal conditions returned, and moderate rains replenished the dry soils. Ripening continued steadily through the summer, and cooler temperatures in August helped keep acidity fresh and sugars in check. It was an early harvest with most sites beginning in the first week of September and many concluding before the end of the month.
Overall, 2011 brought a large crop with good to very good wines that are somewhat round and forward, and should be enjoyable early on in their lives.

Today's lesson: Don't mess with Brad and Angelina.
A security guard for the couple attacked a member of the paparazzi waiting outside their hotel on Saturday in Pune, India-- and it was all caught on tape.
After yelling at the photog, who says he was a guest of the hotel and was being considerate, the bodyguard lunged forward and grabbing him by the throat, choking him.
The photographer, Sam Ralph, says he's considering taking further action, "I haven't decided yet, I'm considering it. But yes, I'm a guest at this hotel, I have every right to be here and it would be disrespectful to take pictures inside the hotel I know they wouldn't like that, but I was outside anyway doing my job along with everyone else."
Pitt and Jolie are in India preparing for Angelina's new film, "A Mighty Heart," which begins shooting next week.

Judy Batson needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 137 designs submitted by 43 freelance designers.
Home Energy Inc
(LAST MINUTE UPDATE: Note that Home Energy is a home construction company - not a electric utility company. Many of the designs submitted in the contest so far appear to be better for an electric utility - not a construction company. 6 Aug 9:30am EDT)
Home Energy is a residential construction company serving the suburbs north of Boston, MA, USA. The origins of the 30-year-old company are in remodeling existing homes to improve energy efficiency. Today, the company is a full-service residential construction team working on both new homes and remodeling for all purposes - but still incorporating all of the team's experience in energy-efficient construction.
In this era of global warming, it is important for all homeowners to make sure their homes use as little energy as possible for heating, hot water, and air conditioning - reducing their "carbon footprint" both to help save the planet, as well as to reduce their own heating / cooling costs. Home Energy can provide both the consulting and construction help needed for homeowners.
At the same time, it is important to make your home a happy place to live. Home Energy has its own design capabilities, as well as a team of partner architects it can use to help homeowners incorporate design and architecture to make their home a place they are proud of, and happy to live in.
Home Energy's customers are nearly all residential homeowners owning single family homes. There are few condominium owners or business customers.
The company services customers in the suburbs north of Boston. The New England area is filled with traditional colonial-style, and Cape Cod style homes on 1+ acre lots. The customers are in a middle-to-higher income bracket. Most are white collar professionals, and about both adults work in about 1/2 of the customer households served by the company.
Design constraints:
- Prefer to have somewhat stylized text of company name as focal point of the design, so that name can be used independently of any image, and still be distinct
- However, it would still be good (though not required) to have some form of line-art image that (also) can be used independent of the name, and be a iconic form (e.g. used on trucks, job site signs, etc.)
- (Example: see http://tocci.com. Note how black square with dot is simple, notable iconic form, and yet the name is simple, slightly stylized, and can be used on its own and still be notable. Update: DO NOT simply riff on the Tocci square in proposals; I mention Tocci only to illustrate typography vs. iconic treatment.)
- Max two color logo.
- Design ideas must also be shown in, and function well in B&W or greyscale (and final delivery must include B&W versions on both black and white backgrounds)
Final delivery in at _least_ EPS form; strongly preferred to be delivered in .ai (Adobe Illustrator) form.

Crab Cake Appetizers Recipes
Artichoke Crab Cakes
Whenever I see fresh crab available at the market, I buy a few, boil or sauté them and reserve at least one for cracking later to make another dish the following day. This is exactly what we did and this time I made crab cakes. I flavored the crab with capers, tarragon, chives and marinated artichoke hearts. My tip is to chill the crab cakes for a few minutes before cooking them to help them hold their shape.
I served the crab cakes with twice-baked potatoes and grilled asparagus on a bed of homemade hollandaise sauce. I wanted to serve the crab cakes warm, so little Aria and I dug in immediately after the meal was ready and I took photos afterwards. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to capture the beautiful crab cakes with the hollandaise sauce as reheating it caused curdling. So even though the sauce isn't pictured, give some extra time to preparing it because the results are well worth it for a perfect weeknight meal!

Super Bowl Finger Food: Crab Cake Recipe
Crab cakes may be synonymous with Maryland in general and Baltimore in particular, but these delectable seafood treats are made San Francisco-friendly with the use of Dungeness crab. I love Dungeness crabs almost as much as Lulu loves the Niners, so you could say that this dish is a match made in heaven. Except of course that Lulu's a vegetarian (I'll post a veggie version next week).
For all us seafood eaters, this is a super easy dish to prepare, which makes it perfect party fare. The only part that requires any real effort is cooking, cracking and collecting the crab meat, but the results are well worth it!

David Murphy is finally considered an everyday player for the Texas Rangers.
Only Michael Young and Ian Kinsler have appeared in more games than Murphy for the Rangers over the past six seasons. But until this spring, Murphy had long carried the tag as being a fourth outfielder.
Murphy says he approached this spring like every other since he knows his success last season has set him up as the starting left fielder.
Murphy played 147 games last year, with 118 starts in the outfield and seven more as the designated hitter. The left-handed hitter had a .304 average with 15 home runs and 61 RBIs.
Through his first 13 spring training games before the Rangers had a day off Wednesday, Murphy hit .314 (11 for 35).

"By turns haunting, fascinating, funny, and intensely mournful, Aldrich's Companion [to an Untold Story] is a stellar work that goes beyond Joel's story and into the very nature of grief and loss. How do people put the fragments of another's life together when they're gone? Many times, it's an impossible task, but Aldrich shows the worthiness of the attempt."
—Elizabeth Millard, ForeWord Reviews
When Marcia Aldrich's friend took his own life at the age of forty-six, they had known each other many years. As part of his preparations for death, he gave her many of his possessions, concealing his purposes in doing so, and when he committed his long-contemplated act, he was alone in a bare apartment.
In Companion to an Untold Story, Aldrich struggles with her own failure to act on her suspicions about her friend's intentions. She pieces together the rough outline of his plan to die and the details of its execution. Yet she acknowledges that she cannot provide a complete narrative of why he killed himself. The story remains private to her friend, and out of that difficulty is born another story— the aftershocks of his suicide and the author's responses to what it set in motion.
This book, modeled on the type of reference book called a "companion," attempts to find a form adequate to the way these two stories criss-cross, tangle, knot, and break. Organized alphabetically, the entries introduce, document, and reflect upon how suicide is so resistant to acceptance that it swallows up other aspects of a person's life. Aldrich finds an indirect approach to her friend's death, assembling letters, objects, and memories to archive an ungrievable loss and create a memorial to a life that does not easily make a claim on public attention. Intimate and austere, clear eyed and tender, this innovative work creates a new form in which to experience grief, remembrance, and reconciliation.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. (Feb. 3, 2012) – Two weeks before hosting the 2012 Atlantic Sun Indoor Championships, the ETSU track and field program travels to Penn State University for the single-day Sykes & Sabock Challenge Cup on Saturday at the Nittany Lions' Ashenfelter III Indoor Track starting at 9 a.m.
30 collegiate track and field teams in all will be competing in University Park on Saturday, including Appalachian State, Binghamton, Buffalo, Coastal Carolina, Connecticut (M), Cornell, ETSU, Jacksonville (W), James Madison (W), Kent State, Liberty, Lock Haven, Penn State, Princeton, UNC-Wilmington, West Virginia (W) and Western Carolina.
ETSU comes off a weekend in which it hosted the 34th annual Niswonger Invitational inside the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center. The Bucs finished in the top-five in numerous events throughout the weekend, and were commended by assistant coach Eli Sunquist who stated, "This was by far our best meet of the year," at the conclusion of the Invitational.
The Buccaneers have enjoyed much success through the 2012 indoor season, resulting in two A-Sun Field Athlete of the Week honors on the men's side, along with three such honors for the women. Of the five combined weekly award winners, two have come from ETSU's freshmen class as newcomers K'vonte Scott (Virginia Beach, Va.) and Katerina Vodova (Humpolec, Czech Republic) were each recognized the week of Jan. 25.
Scott, who broke ETSU's heptathlon record by scoring 4,834 points in the event at the CNU Captains Invitational and Multis, is also a candidate for the Crons Brand Achiever award. The award recognizes one student-athlete from the Atlantic Sun Conference for his or her performance each month.
Live results and heat sheets for Saturday's Sykes & Sabock Challenge Cup will be provided courtesy of gopsusports.com.
During Saturday's meet, Penn State will also be hosting its second-annual "Compete for a Cure," in order to help fundraise toward breast cancer research. Donation opportunities will be available for those at the event, including t-shirt and wristband sales, and a silent auction.

COLUMBIA - About 420 million gallons of groundwater could flow into the newly pitted earth at a proposed sand mining site five miles south of Hardeeville, dropping the water table and draining the wetlands.
That's one of the warnings aired this month by environmental advocates, who, along with local residents, are chafing at a developer's plan to dig three sand mines, fill them with water, and ultimately build a housing development.
Removing 56 million cubic feet of sand from below the water table, which is 8 feet below the surface at the site, would touch off the groundwater changes, said the S.C. Coastal Conservation League. Those changes could "severely alter" wetlands on nearby properties and within the Savannah National Wildlife Refuge, said the organization in a letter to state officials this month.
On Thursday, the day before state regulators were to stop taking public comments on Reed-HTI's sand-mining permit application, the environmental organization was the only one to weigh in.
A public comment period this month had drawn outcry from nearby Oakwood Drive residents, including one letter with a dozen signatures. Residents warned of mosquito-breeding craters and diminished property values. Like the league, they were also concerned about the sand-mining's effects on their groundwater.
CEO John Reed has said the sale of the sand extracted from the land would help pay for the housing development. The canyons would be filled with water and boaters would have a new recreational spot. On Thursday, he could not be reached by phone or email.
In addition to groundwater concerns, the league's letter, received by the state environmental agency on Monday, said the project should take steps to avoid hurting precious mitigation bank property.
Mitigation credits are the currency of a system aimed at compensating for damaging some wetlands by promising to preserve comparable land.
This spring, for instance, South Carolina and Georgia transportation departments had to secure credits from the Salt Creek Saltmarsh Mitigation Bank in Chatham County, Ga. before receiving a permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to replace the Back River Bridge, connecting Savannah and Jasper County on U.S. 17. Sometimes those credits are being held for other projects and can't be bought.
If state regulators grant the developer the 5-year mining permit, the developers will dig three lakes, between 20-25 feet deep, excavating about 80 acres and ultimately affecting 110 acres.
In the permit application, Reed described the site as having scattered hardwood trees and pines, with wetlands to the north and south, Highway 17 to the west and an abandoned CSX railroad to the east. The company's application says there won't be any pumping of groundwater or filling in wetlands, nor effects to any cultural or historically significant sites.
Noting the mine's one-mile distance from the wildlife refuge, Reed wrote in his May 16 permit application that the plans are designed to manage runoff.
"The water to be generated from the dewatering of the site is to be routed through a series of rock check dams and overland flow to an existing wetland system," he wrote, adding that developers will take steps to control erosion and sedimentation "to further protect the surrounding area from sediment runoff."
That didn't satisfy the Coastal Conservation League.
"If these receiving wetlands are connected to wetlands of a mitigation bank, such activity could affect the quality, hydrology, and ecology" of those wetlands, the league told to state officials.

|Graduate Assistant - Athletic Performance
Scott Schweitzer, a 2012 graduate, returned to his old stopping grounds as an APC graduate assistant. He will primarily focus on assisting Pugh with the men's basketball and football teams.
Schweitzer was an All-American for the Golden Eagles, and ranked as one of the team's most outstanding offensive linemen. His attitude on and off the field left a large impact not only on his teammates, but his coaches as well. The transition into the ranks of mentor should be seamless. Using his own personal experience of improving footwork and increasing his strength throughout his four years as a Golden Eagle is a testament to hard work paying off, not only with a championship ring, but an All-America honor as well. Schweitzer majored in exersise science and physical wellness and is originally from Birmingham, Alabama.

Press Release
Betty Martin Appointed Director of Administrative Services
for the Alaska Department of Law
March 29, 2007
(Anchorage) - Attorney General Talis Colberg announced today the appointment of Betty Martin as the Department of Law's new Director of Administrative Services.
The Administrative Services Division provides vital services and manages the resources for the Department of Law. As director Martin will manage the department's accounting and budget preparation, oversee procurement of equipment and supplies and monitor the department's information technology efforts.
"The department's ability to prosecute crimes and represent the state's legal interests depends upon a solid administrative and fiscal foundation," said Colberg. "I believe that Ms. Martin's training as a CPA and her work experience in the public and private sector make her an excellent choice to fill this position."
Martin previously served as the Controller for Galligaskins, a Juneau-based retail operator. Prior to that she served as the State Comptroller for the State of Alaska, Department of Revenue, Treasury Division from February 1995 to August 2005. Martin served as the Controller for Kootznoowoo, Incorporated, the Finance Director for Prince William Sound Aquaculture Corporation, Head Accountant for the U.S. Coast Guard, Support Center New York, NAFA Division, as an assistant controller for the publishing company Faulkner & Gray, Inc. and as a senior and staff accountant for Price Waterhouse.
Martin replaces Kathryn Daughhetee who retired as the director of administrative services in January 2007 after serving in the Department for 10 years.
"I am very grateful to Ms. Daughhetee that she extended her retirement date to ensure a smooth transition for Ms. Martin to assume her new position within the administrative services division," said Colberg.
Daughhetee, also a CPA, was hired by the Alaska Legislature's Division of Legislative Audit. In 1993 she became a budget analyst with the Alaska Legislature. She started work with the Department of Law in July, 1996 as Deputy Director of the Division of Administrative Services. In January 1999 she became the Division Director.

Large parades in support of women's suffrage were held in both New York City and Washington, D.C. Alice Paul organized a parade down Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington in 1913. Held the day before Woodrow Wilson's inauguration, the parade degenerated into a riot when thousands of male spectators tried to block its passage. Troops were called in to restore order and hundreds of people were hospitalized. This parade in New York City was also large, with 30,000 women marching, but it was peaceful.

Welcome to This Positive Life! We have with us Cassandra Whitty, a 53-year-old woman from Baton Rouge, La. Cassandra had been living with HIV/AIDS for almost a decade and was completely unaware until she was finally diagnosed in 2000. Despite showing numerous symptoms and having multiple hospital trips, like so many others, she fell through the testing gaps, and was misdiagnosed with an autoimmune disease. Cassandra admits she never really thought that HIV could happen to her. She tells us that coming from an era that didn't emphasize condom use and believing that AIDS was a gay man's concern, she thought she was exempt. And then she tested positive and realized she wasn't.
This mother and grandmother shares her experiences grappling with the diagnosis, how disclosing made all the difference, and why being an advocate and speaker in her community has proven to be her life's calling.
This is Kellee Terrell reporting live for TheBody.com. Welcome to This Positive Life. Welcome, Cassandra.
Thank you, Kellee.
So let's get started. Walk me through the day that you were diagnosed.
I was diagnosed on Nov. 19 of 2000. I went to the doctor to receive my results from a test. I probably need to back up, because I was misdiagnosed for two years with Sheldon's syndrome. And what moved me to the doctor that was about to give me my results was the fact that my insurance companies changed.
So I went to a new doctor; had to go all through my story all over again, what I was experiencing, what I was going through. I had to go through another battery of tests when I started realizing something was going wrong with my body. My lymph nodes, right here between my ears, always would swell. At the time, I was working in the Popeye's building down in New Orleans, because I work for a major insurance company. We were doing storm duty, catastrophe duty. And we were in a big, dusty building, so I just thought it was my sinuses.
So in 1995, I started noticing changes in my body. Fast-forward to 2000: By this time I had lost a lot of weight and I couldn't keep food down. I just knew something was not right. And I had been diagnosed with Sheldon's syndrome, which is also an autoimmune deficiency disorder; it has some of the same symptoms as HIV. So, I went to a new primary care doctor because my insurance changed in the middle of the year. And I told him to go do a whole battery of tests again. And they came back negative.
Those tests came out negative so he said, "Well, what I need you to do now is take two other tests. The one, you're going to have to sign for."
And I said, "OK."
He said, "Those tests are: one's a TB; and the other is an HIV." So in the back of my mind I'm going, "OK. I've been tested from the booty to the tooty -- from head to toe. Surely if I was HIV positive, I would know."
And how long did this testing process take?
From 1995 to 2000, so about five years.
You were basically showing signs of HIV. Maybe AIDS -- we don't know at this point -- and not one doctor thought that perhaps they should test you for HIV.
Not one. Not even in the emergency room. Because I went to the emergency room one Christmas Eve. And I had meningitis. I was running a fever of 104 degrees when they got me to the emergency room. That's the first time I've ever had to take four Tylenol to try to bring my temperature down. Even in the emergency room, I guess they didn't test me for HIV because I did not fit the image.
But in 2000, my new doctor proceeded to tell me, "I'm going to take these tests." That meant I had to wait another week for those results. So that's when I went back: on Nov. 19.
And when he walked in the room, he said, "Miss Whitty? You don't have to worry about not knowing what's wrong with you anymore. You're HIV positive."
I don't know what else happened after that. I just kind of sat there. I just got numb.
I was by myself, so I got upset in a way that wasn't emotionally on the outside in tears, but it was -- my stomach became real upset. I kind of got myself composed and came back. And he sat down and he said, "Well, 10 years ago this might have been a death sentence. But you know, I'm going to send you to another doctor, a specialist."
I didn't remember any, you know . . . all of this.

Looking Back
I've been busy.
Busy with life.
Busy with love.
Busy with emotions running wild.
Busy turning 29.
I could write and write and write. About deep stuff. About the 4,276 emotions that have made their way into my past week. But, not today. Soon.
Today, I want to concentrate on all that is good. All that is beautiful. All that I have to be thankful for.
And what better way to do so, than with photos.
Keepin' it sweet and simple and letting the pictures do the talking.
I can't forget the ones that didn't make it to last week's posts, before getting to the celebration pics...
There was dinner at Kurt and Kelly's house. Complete with 5 or 6 rounds of Scattergories.
Before this photo/game... The letter - "L". The topic - Terms of endearment. Me - (thinking to myself, "OH yea, I'm gonna snag 2 points for this one with my 2 "L" word") My answer - "Love Letter"
Kelly begins her signature cry laugh, looks at me and says sarcastically, "What?!! How is that a term of endearment?! Oh, my little love letter!" *more cry laughter
Me - "OHHHHHHH, hahahahahahahaha that's what terms of endearment means???!"
As always, Steve shakes head.
My Dad and Brigid had a picnic...
We had friends over for dinner and games...
There was lunch with friends. Sweet little girls meeting for the first time.
and that concludes the pre-celebration photos.
And so begins all that made "29" Beautiful.
It all began with this cake.
Kelly showed up at my door with this unbelievably sweet, homemade, creative crazy cat lady cake. Complete with pictures of my precious fluffies and I, and even a peacock feather (love!)
Of course, I cried.
Next stop...
We headed to the shop downstairs for some fun.
We found ourselves acting like children in the corner of the shop, after we found these super cool glasses.
There was dinner with my family...
After, there was present opening and coffee at my Mom's.
There was a kitty card that "Meowed" the Happy Birthday song to me. My Mom said to listen to it anytime I need a laugh or want to distract myself from too much thinking. :)
There was a crazy cat lady pillow.
There was a snoring Mr. on the couch.
There was a Saturday morning visit from Noah. Who only had 3 cat photo holders to play with at our house. We named them Ted, Melinda and Belinda.
There was Saturday night fun and dancing with friends. There was letting loose and feeling free for a night.
There were Sunday morning muffins, cards and flowers from Steve on my birthday.
There was a Muffin lovin' the tissue paper!
There was a visit @ my Mom and Nani's house.
There were gorgeous flowers and a touching card from friends, left for me to find on my doorstep.
I cried...again.
Muffin, stopping to take a whiff.
There were burritos. Yummy hot sauces. Salsa and Guacamole.
Steve making his selections.
There was a visit to our old stomping ground from years ago. There were drinks at a familiar table and great conversation into the night.
There was a goodnight hug from Twinkie.
There was a surprise "day after birthday" with the Mr. He took the day off and we spent all day and night together.
There was sushi. Really, really good sushi.
There was pottery painting. Such therapy. So peaceful.
It was a birthday of many feelings...
There were tears of many kinds.
It is the best feeling.
To feel it so greatly.
That is something to be truly grateful for.
*looking forward to more celebrating with two very special girls tomorrow night <3
Wishing Everyone A Wonderful Wednesday!

LITTLE ROCK — New to the job of Arkansas State University athletics director, Terry Mohajir was talking future football schedules with ASU fans who dreamed out loud.
Wouldn't it be great, one said, if ASU could play Texas in Little Rock?
Mohajir countered with, Why not Texas in Jonesboro?
They wouldn't come to Jonesboro, the dreamer said.
Have you ever asked? Mohajir said.
Hired last September, Mohajir is not afraid to ask any BCS school about scheduling the Red Wolves and the man can sell. Already, he has succeeded to the point that ASU has a home and home with Missouri and is a signature or two away from securing the same with Miami. It is not the Tigers nor the Hurricanes that got my attention, but the fact that teams from the Southeastern Conference and the Atlantic Coast Conference are going to play in Jonesboro in a straight-up, on-for-one deal.
For example, with Missouri, the home team pays the visitor $250,000 and the Tigers' buyout is large enough that ASU will turn a nice profit if Missouri reneges.
In years past, ASU vs. a team from a BCS conference was a one-way street and strictly about money. Ole Miss in 2001 was the last football team from a BCS conference to play in Jonesboro.
Mohajir is in contract discussions with a Pac-12 team for a home and home, all part of a grand plan. "We have to be fearless as a program, but also strategic," he said.
To him, scheduling is not a science, but an art. He goes about it with several things in mind, including the athletic department budget, a competitive advantage, and expansion of ASU's season ticket base.
"Possibly building a national brand would be a fourth," he said. "In order to build a brand, you have to beat those teams and you can't beat them unless you play them."
The budget thing is self-explanatory — ASU needs a million-dollar payday per year. Negotiating with a Tennessee or a Pac-12 team for a one-time payday, he is certain that ASU is worth $1 million and he will move on to another A.D. if a school insists on paying less. "It's about being confident about who you are and how you talk to people," said the former ASU defensive player. "We believe we have value."
He avoids labeling such outings money games. "That becomes negative," he said. "We want it to be positive. Aren't we lucky to get to test …"
Claiming a competitive advantage was a head-scratcher until Mohajir explained that the idea is to play BCS teams early in the season, when he believes they are more vulnerable. Along those lines, note that the second game of the Missouri series is Sept. 12, 2015. The Miami game could be as early as the second Saturday in a September.
He is fond of calling contests with BCS teams "advance training games."
"We have to measure where we are as a program," he said. It's like playing golf, he said, counting all strokes is the only way to get an accurate score.
Playing the marquee game in Jonesboro makes an already inexpensive season ticket even more attractive and is a carrot for people to travel to Northeast Arkansas. "The power of having someone in every seat far outweighs anything else," he said. That includes filling the 600 club seats and 240 loge seats that will be available when the indoor practice facility in the North end zone is complete.
A lesser opponent — an Idaho, for instance — is ideal for Little Rock where a ticket would be one game only. Down the line, a long-term series with Memphis, an hour from Jonesboro, would be a natural.
Blank when Mohajir was hired, his non-conference schedule turned heads. The next step is to retain that attention with a W over a name opponent.

Most agricultural economists expected U.S. farmers to plant more corn and less everything else this spring, but the scope of the change caught many analysts, including those at the Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute, off guard.
FAPRI analysts had predicted U.S. cotton producers would plant 13.4 million acres in 2007, 12.2 percent less than in 2006, but even that number was eclipsed by USDA's forecast that U.S. cotton plantings could drop to 12.1 million acres or 20 percent below 2006. Three weeks before the release of the March 30 Planting Intentions report FAPRI economists said the acreage and price forecasts generated by its economic models may have been overtaken by events.
"Based on January information, we had projected smaller shifts," said Pat Westhoff, the analyst who oversees the preparation of the agricultural economic baseline by the FAPRI centers at the University of Missouri-Columbia and Iowa State University, Ames. "There have been a number of pessimistic news items about cotton since then, so I am not surprised that the report suggests farmers intend to make larger shifts in acreage out of cotton and into corn than we had projected. Still, I was not expecting the cotton and soybean numbers to be quite this low or the corn number to be quite this high.
"As always, it is important to remember that this report is not the final say on 2007 acreage. Weather conditions this spring and market reactions to the report and other news will mean that actual plantings will certainly differ from this report of farmers' intentions."
While FAPRI said cotton plantings would certainly drop by 12 percent or more, it said soybeans would feel the rise in corn the most, falling to 70.5 million acres from 75.5 million acres in 2006. (USDA forecast 67.1 million acres of soybeans.) Wheat area increases to 60.1 million acres in 2007 but drops in following years to 57 million by 2016.
The baseline, prepared annually for Congress, is a collaborative effort of several institutions. Texas A&M, Texas Tech, the University of Arkansas and Arizona State also contribute.
FAPRI analysts say the current outlook depends on the price of corn not becoming too high, removing profits from ethanol plants. Baseline projections show ethanol production remains profitable, but increasing production and falling petroleum prices result in lower ethanol prices.
The baseline projects high crop prices will increase net income for grain farmers; however, higher feed costs cut profits of livestock feeders.
Overall, net farm income dropped $26 billion dollars in 2006 from a record high of $85 billion in 2004, with higher input costs largely responsible. Net farm income could rise $7 billion in 2007 to $66 billion and could remain above $60 billion in later years.
Cash receipts for cattle and calves reached a record $50.7 billion in 2006, but are expected to decline to $47.9 billion by 2010.
"As more expensive corn increased the cost of feeding cattle, feedlots bid down feeder cattle prices," said Scott Brown, MU FAPRI livestock analyst. "This trend continues through the baseline, as feed costs remain high."
Poultry producers reacted quickly to higher feed costs, reducing production in the third quarter of 2006. "Slowing growth in poultry is a rarity," Brown said. "Broiler production is expected to grow only 1.6 percent annually through the baseline, compared with 3 percent annual growth for the previous 10 years.
Three years of profits for hog producers will end in 2007, according to the baseline. The price of producing pork is expected to go up 6 cents a pound, or 16 percent.
Food cost increases remain moderate in spite of higher grain prices. Annual growth in the food Consumer Price Index will average near 2 percent long term, near the general inflation rate, Brown said.
While grain prices play a part in food cost increases, 80 percent of consumer food costs come from other factors, including labor, fuel and packaging.
Fruit and vegetable costs spiked in 2006 and are expected to continue high, given weather-related losses.
Cost of food eaten away from home outpaced home meals in 2005. This trend is expected to continue.
Federal spending for farm programs is lowered by higher grain prices. Direct payments, counter-cyclical payments and marketing loans peaked at $16 billion in the 2005 crop year. Those same payments total $7.7 billion for the current marketing year. Payments are expected to drop to $6.7 billion by the end of the baseline in 2016, with direct payments accounting for $5.3 billion.
The baseline, which will be used to analyze the 2007 farm bill, has been given to the Senate and House agricultural committees and USDA.

"A wise and loving owner's manual for anybody who has ears. Mathieu offers a rare opportunity to re-discover a rich and often neglected channel that links our inner self with the world." —Keyboard Magazine
"A practical and in-depth guide to the vastness of the mysticism of sound. It is also beautifully written. It is poetic, humorous, loving, and confrontational—it is filled with the child's curiosity and it is filled with love for life—and it is contagious." —The Sound
"In this collection of short, evocative essays, [Mathieu] offers playful and powerful suggestions for awakening to the music that is always around us and inside us. . . . His infectious passion for the melodies and rhythms of everyday life shimmers on every page." —Yoga Journal
"In this age of the couch potato, squatting bug-eyed at the boob-tube, this is a book on behalf of the unregenerate ear-minded person's protest against the eye-minded majority. . . . Mathieu offers suggestions and encouragement on many aspects of music-making, and provides playful exercises to help readers appreciate the connection between sound, music, and everyday life." —Spiritual Frontiers
"The Listening Book is a true gift for music-makers of any stripe, It offers us not only the insights of a master teacher and the instincts of a great musician, but it radiates with that wonderful quality of a man who wears his soul on his sleeve." —Paul Winter, composer and musician
"The Listening Book is a remarkable and exciting work. An obvious labor of love, every page sings of the joys of life and music. Mathieu's observations and perceptions are insightful, incisive and often startling. This is a book that could change the way we view music, and which would be of benefit to everyone from the casual listener or performer to the professional musician." —David N. Baker, Distinguished Professor of Music and Chairman, Jazz Department, Indiana University School of Music

Sometimes I wonder how people used word-of-mouth recommendations for restaurants and stores before the web. Sure we had great newspapers (and with the Washington Post we still do), but when you're transplanted into a strange town where you don't know anyone word-of-mouth just doesn't happen.
I ended up in Glover Park not just for the rent, but probably because Wikipedia gave me the clues that the location was right. Google Maps helped me find an apartment within walking distance to the grocery store. This move would not have worked so well for me only 10 years ago.
Once I moved in, I could use HopStop to find the right Bus/Rail times. Later I found the WMATA's site worked a little better. I found out the sort of places other locals would like using Brightkite. I traded in for an iPhone with GPS at the end of my contract. I use Brightkite even more. Yelp is still pretty invaluable for me.
And since I know that I could live here for another several years and still not find everything, I'm glad we have the right tools through the Geo-local internet. Wired is right; GPS+internet is changing how we take part in a community.

At the ecumenical service at St. Joseph's Church yesterday, the congregation actually sang out loud. And they were good! I couldn't help wondering if this was attributable to the preponderance of non-Catholics in the group?!
And the hats – did Catholics sing better when women wore hats to church? There were lots of great hats in the group yesterday, primarily on the heads of Orthodox clergy. Very cool.
And the ushers – borrowed for the occasion from St. Patrick's Cathedral — they were wearing morning coats and white gloves.

Don't just make do with less.
Protect what you've got.
By, for instance, deploying Oracle Solaris 10 inside a zone cluster.
"Wait," you say, "what is a zone cluster?"
It is a zone deployed across different physical servers.
"Who would do that!" you ask in a mild panic.
Why, an upstanding sysadmin citizen interested in protecting his or her employer's investment with appropriate high availability and disaster recovery. If one server gets wiped out by Hurricane Sandy along with pretty much the entire East Coast of the USA, your zone continues to run on the other server(s). Provided you set them up in Edinburgh. This white paper (pdf) explains what a zone cluster is and how to use it. If a white paper reminds you of having to read War and Peace in school, just use this Oracle RAC and Solaris Cluster Cheat Sheet, instead.
"But wait!" you exclaim. "I didn't realize Solaris 10 offered zone clusters!"
I didn't, either! And in an earlier version of this blog post I said that zone clusters were only available with Oracle Solaris 11. But Karoly Vegh pointed me to the documentation for Oracle Solaris Cluster 3.3, which explains how to manage zone clusters in Oracle Solaris 10. Bite my fist!
So, the point I was trying to make is not just that you can run Oracle Solaris 10 zone clusters, but that you can run them in an Oracle Solaris 11 environment. Now let's return to our conversation and pick up where we left off ...
"Oh no! Whatever shall I do?"
Fear not. Remember how Oracle Solaris 11 lets you create a Solaris 10 branded zone inside a system running Oracle Solaris 11? Well, the Solaris Cluster engineers thought that was a bang-up idea, and decided to extend Oracle Solaris Cluster so that you could run your Solaris 10 applications inside the protective cocoon of an Oracle Solaris 11 zone cluster. Take advantage of the installation improvements and network virtualization capabilities of Oracle Solaris 11 while still running your application on Oracle Solaris 10. You Luddite, you.
That capability is in the latest release of Oracle Solaris Cluster, version 4.1, which became available last Friday.
"Last Friday! Is it too late to get a copy?"
You can still get a free copy from our download center (see below). And, if you'd like to know what other goodies the 4.1 release of Oracle Solaris Cluster provides, see:
As always, you can get the latest information about Oracle Solaris Cluster, plus technical how-to articles, documentation, and more from Oracle Solaris Cluster Resource Page for Sysadmins and Developers.
And don't forget about the online launch of Oracle Solaris 11.1 and Oracle Solaris Cluster 4.1, scheduled for Nov 7.
"I feel so much better, now!"
Think nothing of it. That's what we're here for.

A day after U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens was killed in Libya, friends in Northern California remembered him not just as a man devoted to the foreign service but also as a devoted friend.
By Wednesday morning, Paul Feist, a friend who had known him since they attended Piedmont High School in the East Bay in the 1970s, posted a status update on his Facebook page: " 25 years ago next week, John Christopher Stevens was the best man at my wedding. Today I awoke to the horrible news that Ambassador Stevens had been killed at the U.S. consulate in eastern Lybia. We are grief struck. Thank you, Chris, for being a friend and for serving your country and the international community so well and so selflessly."
The two met when they were freshmen who enjoyed sports and wrote for the student newspaper.
Throughout college and then through the years of Stevens' career with the State Department in the Middle East, he made a point of staying in touch, said Feist, a California Community Colleges vice chancellor.
"He would come back and visit family in the Bay Area and Sacramento, and he'd always come to Stockton to see us," said Feist. "We'd cook him a home-cooked meal. He'd come to the house, and we'd try to pump him for information about the excitement of his life and career.
"He was such an unpretentious guy. He'd want to know about your son and how he was doing in school. He was a remarkable man."
Stevens spent his early years in Davis, where he attended elementary and junior high school before his parents divorced. His father, Jan Stevens, is a retired attorney with the state of California. His mother, Mary Commanday, is a musician who once played cello with the Marin Symphony. A brother is in the U.S. Attorney's office in San Francisco, and a sister is a doctor in Seattle, Feist said.
Keith Sparks, a retired Sacramento County court of appeals judge who lives in Loomis, not far from Stevens' father and stepfather, said that Stevens visited Northern California not long before Hillary Clinton swore him in as ambassador to Libya in May. His father and stepmother attended the ceremony in Washington, D.C.
"I takes so long to develop great skill, and it's gone in an instant," Sparks said.
