Aviva Premiership - Round 19 Preview
Harlequins seek return to form

Aviva Premiership champions Harlequins will aim to get back to their best when they run out against Gloucester at Kingsholm, in front of the ESPN cameras on Friday evening.
Quins slumped to a lacklustre 27-12 loss away to Saracens last time out and in doing so slipped from first place in the table to third, with their London rivals taking over at the top. Director of rugby Conor O'Shea has rung the changes for the match and Ross Chisholm comes in for Ugo Monye, while George Lowe and Tom Casson take over in the centres from Jordan Turner-Hall and Matt Hopper. Captain Chris Robshaw is rested, with No.8 Nick Easter set to wear the captain's armband.
"Going to the Shed, going to Kingsholm is an experience," O'Shea said. "Under the lights the atmosphere goes up a few octaves and decibels. We know it is a huge test five days after a massive game. They are unbelievably physical upfront - you wouldn't expect anything else from a Gloucester pack, but then you look at the threats they have out wide."
Gloucester have brought in five new faces in the starting team following the 15-14 win over London Welsh last weekend and fly-half Freddie Burns is under no doubt of what sort of side they will face.
"Their loss last week will only make them more dangerous," he said. "They will be back to their best this week, no doubt about it. But you want that, you want teams to come and have a real crack. The performance has got to be right this weekend if we're going to keep our top-four aims going. We've got to be back in top mode come Friday night."
"It's all about how we perform on Friday night," he said. "It's a big game, against a tough opponent who have been trailblazing over the last two or three years in terms of their performances and results. It's about seeing what we can do, and taking our game to the next level."
The second live ESPN match over the weekend comes from the Majeski Stadium as London Irish try to pull further away from danger and Sale Sharks in 11th place. Irish are five points clear of Sale, who in turn are five points clear of bottom-placed London Welsh. As such a win would give the Exiles some much-needed breathing space with three matches remaining.
London Irish welcome winger Sailosi Tagicakibau back to the starting team and director of rugby Brian Smith expects his side to maintain their form from a week ago.
"I was very pleased with the efforts of our entire squad last weekend," Smith said. "The forward pack fronted up and set a platform for the team to keep the scoreboard moving. On Sunday it is important we keep that same level of performance. Sale are currently playing well so we know it will be another challenge, but one we are ready for."
After going top Saracens face another capital derby, away to London Wasps, who are licking their wounds after letting Northampton Saints in for a last-gasp victory a week ago.
"We are up against a good defensive outfit but it's very important that we back our own ability to break them down," Wasps fly-half Stephen Jones said. "I was impressed with their physicality last weekend, they managed to stop Harlequins' runners straight away and stopped their go forward."
Saracens flanker Will Fraser managed to cross for a try against Harlequins and he is expecting another tough test at Adams Park.
"They've got a very dangerous backline, especially the back three and (Tom) Varndell and (Christian) Wade are the top two try-scorers in the league this year," he said. "They've got carriers all over the pitch, they can run with the ball, they can move the ball and like last weekend our defence has to be spot on."
Bottom-placed London Welsh have another hard assignment away to Bath, as they seek a way of closing the five-point gap to Sale. It has been another tough week for the Exiles who failed in their bid to overturn the five-point punishment for fielding scrum-half Tyson Keats when he was incorrectly registered.
Bath were unable to do London Welsh any favours a week ago when they lost to Sale and their strong form at home suggests that they are likely to add to Exiles' current woes.
"We're expecting them to be unpredictable," Bath defence coach Mike Ford said. "Our defence has got to be strong and I think we can control the game with our defence. Then with the ball in hand we have to combat their blitz defence, which is quite aggressive, but if we get our attack right we can cause them a few problems."
At Franklin's Gardens on Saturday, there will be no love lost between Northampton Saints and Leicester Tigers, with the home team scenting a place in the play-offs following their win over Wasps, their fourth consecutive league victory.
"We enjoy playing Leicester and in a way we owe them one because they've been very successful against us in recent years," Northampton director of rugby Jim Mallinder said. "We went up there and got beaten and they came up here last year and beat us. It is a big game, it is Leicester, but for us it's where we are and it's about us getting another win."
Leicester director of rugby Richard Cockerill has named an unchanged side for a clash with another team in the pack chasing Saracens and Harlequins in the top two places.
"Fixtures between Leicester and Northampton are always very competitive and we're both chasing semi-final spots," Cockerill said. "We had a very good win at Exeter last week, the international boys came back in and got straight into it, and we'll be up for the battle.
"Saints are a very good team and we'll both be going into it in a positive frame of mind. Both sides want to play and score tries."
Worcester Warriors host Exeter Chiefs at Sixways, with the home side needing a win to draw further away from the relegation dogfight and the Chiefs trying desperately to reach the Heineken Cup places.
Worcester director of rugby Richard Hill will be able to call on No.8 Semisi Taulava, who will make his first start since January and Hill is under no impression how much he will help their run in.
"Semisi will start," he said. "When he was playing earlier this season he made a massive impact with his ball carrying and he was a big player for us in that respect. We've missed him - there's no doubt about that. He got 20 minutes last weekend and I'm now convinced he's fully fit and ready to go."

JERUSALEM – A former Israeli spymaster on Thursday cautioned Iran not to dismiss Israel's talk about possibly attacking Iranian nuclear facilities.
The next 12 weeks will be "very critical" to Israel's decision on whether to strike, Ephraim Halevy said. That time frame coincides with the run-up to the US presidential election.
"If I were an Iranian, I would be very worried about the Israeli talk about a possible attack, because Israel's threats sound serious and credible to me," Halevy, who left the Mossad a decade ago, told Israel Radio.
Iran contends its nuclear program is peaceful and designed to mostly produce energy. But Israel thinks Tehran's uranium enrichment activities are a cover for bomb-making, and like the US has said it would not tolerate a nuclear Iran.
Israel considers Tehran to be its most fearsome enemy and does not lightly take multiple references by Iranian officials to the Jewish state's destruction. It says nuclear talks with Iran and tough sanctions against it have been ineffective – an apparent swipe at US policy.
American officials oppose a near-term military strike on Iran and have pressed Israel to give diplomacy and sanctions a chance to work. A strike before US elections three months from now would likely drive up oil prices and drag the US into another domestically unpopular Mideast conflict during the election campaign
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said earlier this week that Israel hasn't decided whether to strike Iran. But before meeting with US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta on Wednesday, Netanyahu sounded impatient with US efforts to curb Iran's nuclear program, saying Washington's strategy of diplomacy and sanctions was perilously close to failure.
"Right now the Iranian regime believes that the international community does not have the will to stop its nuclear program," Netanyahu said. "This must change, and it must change quickly because time to resolve this issue peacefully is running out."

Peter, as usual we listen every Sunday morning to your program and absolutely love it---however, in case you hadn't heard it from someone else, we would like to respond to your pronounciation of Saint Saens last Sunday---it shoud be Saint Saens with the last "s" pronounced as a z". It is one of the irregular French names as Poulenc is Poolank.
Thanks so much for giving us our Sunday joys.

Although the donkey is used as a symbol of the U.S. Democratic Party, it has never been officially adopted. The rooster, however, was. The story begins in 1840, when the famous "Log Cabin Campaign" occurred. More on that shortly. It must be said that the donkey did come first. In 1828, Democrat Andrew Jackson was ridiculed and called a "jackass" by the supporters of John Quincy Adams during the heated presidential campaign. In 1870, Thomas Nast used it as a symbol for the Democratic Party. And it has been widely recognized as the party's unofficial symbol since that time.
Now for the rooster. According to John Fowler Mitchell, Jr., the origin of the rooster as the emblem of the Democratic Party was in Greenfield, Indiana. Joseph Chapman, a native of Greenfield, a Jacksonian Democrat, and a state legislator, was an acclaimed orator and derided by the opposition Whigs for his "crowing." During his campaign for a seat in the lower house of the Indiana State Legislature, the Whigs' critical "Crow, Chapman, Crow!" was seized by the Democrats and used in support of their candidate and Chapman won, despite the Whigs' nationwide victory that year. Indiana Democrats, followed by the national party, soon chose the rooster as their symbol, and Chapman was hereafter known as "Crowing Joe Chapman."
A century or so later, the rooster was seen on a poster in support of Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry S Truman, and is still evident on posters in some states.

Texas-Pan American leads PGA Minority Collegiate
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (AP) — Kevin Kirakossian shot a 5-under 67 in windy conditions Saturday on PGA Golf Club's Wanamaker Course to help defending champion Texas-Pan American take the second-round lead in the PGA Minority Collegiate Golf Championship.
Texas-Pan American had a 3-over 291 for a 9-over 585 total and four-stroke lead over Bethune-Cookman in the Division I standings. Alabama State was third, nine shots back.
"The round was really good today, considering I played the par 5s at 1 over for the day," Kirakossian said. "Our team wanted to come out and win the day, shoot the lowest score of any team out there. Then we could see where we stood and try and win it all tomorrow."
In the women's division, defending champion Bethune-Cookman extended its lead to 13 strokes over Texas-Pan American. Andrea Orozco led the Wildcats with a 69 on the Ryder Course.
"We wanted to build on our lead and play well as a team," Orozco said. "I hit a lot of wedges into greens, hit it close and made some good birdies."
In the other men's divisions, Lincoln University had a 13-stroke lead over Texas A&M International in Division II, and Talladega College opened a 30-shot lead in NAIA play.
Nick Goeke topped Lincoln with a 72.
"I was able to hold it together all day and made a few birdies on the back nine to get back to even par," Goeke said. "The wind was really picking up, especially on the back nine, so it felt good to help the team out with a good score."
Alabama State's Robert Grant, from England, shot a 77 to top the men's independent division at 4 over, a stroke ahead of UNLV's Daniel Inocencio.
"I got off to a really rough start today. With the wind picking up it made it hard to judge at first," Grant said. "Some silly mistakes cost me, but I still have a lead and need to play well again tomorrow."
Texas Wesleyan's Alexis Belton had a 72 to take a two-stroke lead in the women's independent division at 5 over.

In this tutorial we explore the effects of the interpolation settings on the live audio from Sampler Channels & Audio Clips.
Interpolation is a curve fitting process that computes intermediate sample 'amplitude' data between the known sample points (filling in the gaps). This will reduce aliasing when samples are transposed.
Interpolation is only used when the pitch is transposed. Like most things, interpolation uses some CPU power, so FL Studio gives you the option to have different live and rendered interpolation settings.
So what about other plugins?
VST, Dx & FL Native plugins (synths & samplers) may or may not have their own internal interpolation settings (sometimes called over-sampling).
If you check Sytrus for example you will see it has its own Live (Draft) and Render settings. All good plugins interpolate/oversample or whatever, but some just don't show these settings to the user.
To make sure plugins DO put their best foot forward when rendering, use the "HQ for all plugins" on the Render dialog and the select "Notify about rendering mode" on the Wrapper settings.

Her Turn
"Jim and I used to have a great sex life," said Cassie, a stunning redhead who has a grown daughter from a previous marriage. "We've been married six years — it's a second marriage for both of us — and until three years ago we felt, and acted, like newlyweds.
"Now, I have absolutely no sexual desire. The juices never flow, the heat never happens. I want to be more interested in sex, but I'm just not. I've gained twenty pounds over the last few years; it's hard to feel sexy when I feel so frumpy. Still, I'm convinced that the hysterectomy I had three years ago is the real cause of my problems. Since then, I've seen two gynecologists and tried everything from hormone replacement therapy to herbal and homeopathic remedies to improve my libido. Nothing helps.
"Jim and I haven't made love in months and months. On the rare occasion that we do, it's nothing like it used to be. I feel put upon — almost as if it's a chore — and Jim feels that I'm doing him a big favor. I've tried to explain that I love him and still find him attractive; I'm just not in the mood. For instance, the other night I came home from work, and while I was hanging up my coat, he walked up behind me and started kissing my neck. I knew where that was heading — but I was exhausted and the last thing I wanted was sex. I told him to stop it. Whenever I rebuff him like this, he either pouts or, worse, explodes. Jim has a short fuse and can blow up in a heartbeat. He acts the same way if he thinks I'm ignoring his family, criticizing him about some unpaid bill, or asking for time by myself.
"But he doesn't understand that sometimes I need my space. My job is stressful. I'm program director for my city's community centers. The hours are long and we're short-staffed. Jim is an economics professor, but for the last six months he's been on sabbatical researching a book, which means that he's always hanging around the house. Besides his work, and his two boys, 17 and 19, who live nearby with their mother, there's not a whole lot in his life. He rarely sees his old university friends, dropped his lifelong hobby of woodworking, and stopped playing basketball. His whole world centers on me — and it's suffocating.
"Jim has also convinced himself that I don't like his sons and accuses me of not trying hard enough to be a 'family.' I've always been reluctant to push myself on them. But Jim expects us to be this instant close-knit family. Now that they can drive, his sons drop by at all hours. I feel that coming over without calling is an intrusion on our privacy. Inevitably, we slide into an argument and soon, neither of us can stand to be in the same room.
"Until I met Jim and his family, I didn't know what it meant to be nurtured and loved. I grew up the oldest of three. My mother is incredibly self-centered, and my father, who has since passed away, didn't take interest in my life, either. Mother moved nearby 10 years ago when Dad died, but I rarely see her. My brother and sister both live out of town.
"I met Jim at a friend's party. I'd been a single mom for a long time and Jim was the first man I was seriously interested in. We shared a love of books, politics, gardening, and the outdoors. Jim courted me with flowers, home-cooked meals, and tickets to jazz concerts. I never felt so much love — or passion — and I miss the way we were. I want to be my old self again, so when Jim suggested counseling, I said I'd go. Still, I'm not convinced that I can change; it's as if, sexually, a switch has been flipped. And while my husband has the patience of Job, I know that he's not going to stay in a sexless marriage forever. I can't blame him; who wants a wife who has absolutely no desire?"
His Turn
"When Cassie pushes me away, I feel so hurt and frustrated, I've practically given up," said Jim, 43, who, at 6 feet, 4 inches tall, still looks like the college basketball player he once was. "She's been uninterested in sex for at least three years, which is a real change from the sexually alive woman I fell in love with. She's always telling me she doesn't feel sexy because she's gained weight. Well, who hasn't? I still think she's beautiful! But trying to convince her of that is like talking to a brick wall. When we do have sex, she's so obviously not into it that I can't help thinking that weight isn't her issue, it's me. I feel like she's not sexually attracted to me anymore.
"Cassie's aloof in other parts of our life, too. She'll storm in the door, announce that she has a million messages to return and needs to be alone. Instead of laughing easily as she used to, she's prickly and snappish. She treats me like a fool who can't do anything right. If I fail to pay a bill on time, I'm irresponsible. If I want her to join me and my kids for a movie, I'm not respectful of her privacy. I love that my boys are comfortable coming and going between our house and their mother's. I know Cassie sees it as intrusive, but I'm grateful for any time they want to spend with their old man! I wish I had a nickel for every time Cassie begged off, saying she wasn't feeling well, when we were due at my parents' house for dinner. It means a lot to my parents for us to spend time with them.
"I grew up not far from here. Dad worked for the electric company, Mother was a bookkeeper. As kids, we always came first. I'm thankful that we still live close enough to visit regularly. My folks often worked two jobs so they'd have enough money to put me and my two brothers through college. I've never seen my father happier than the day I received my PhD.
"In the beginning I loved teaching, but the politics of academia wore me down. I needed to jump off the treadmill for a while, to finish a book I've been planning for twenty years. I thought I'd make a lot of progress, but Cassie's right: I've lost my zest for it — and everything else, it seems. I waste a lot of time staring at a blank computer screen. You'd think now that I'm home so much, Cassie and I'd spend more time together. But it's just the opposite.
"The way we've grown apart is so disheartening because we used to be so good together. When Cassie and I met, we clicked right away. We'd both been divorced, both had kids, so we understood and respected each other's issues. I don't know what happened. Our arguments are interminable. I know I have a bad temper, but many times, I try to table things until we both cool down, and she won't let me. I'll even walk out of the room, but she always has to have the last word, and she draws me right back in.
"Right now I know I need to make a lot of changes in my life. I miss the interaction with students and colleagues, and I need to find the confidence to finish my book. But most of all, I want to reconnect with my wife, which is why I suggested we see a counselor in the first place. I'm not sure how much longer I can go on like this. It's more than not making love. Yes, I miss the sex, but I also miss the intimacy and the passion we used to have for each other. Where did it all go? Is it lost forever?"
The Counselor's Turn
"Low sexual desire can occur at any age, and for a variety of reasons," said the counselor. "It could be lifelong or situational, triggered by physical conditions such as illness, medication, menopause, or just the stress of life. Cassie told me that since her hysterectomy three years ago she'd experienced changes in her body — vaginal dryness, occasional night sweats, and hot flashes. While it's normal for a diminished sex drive to accompany these symptoms, I suspected there was more than a physical cause at work here.
"I told Cassie that in order to restore her sex drive, she needed to improve her relationship with her husband outside of the bedroom. Their families, children, and careers all became fuel for fights and the animosity severed their communication. Cassie's accusations that Jim didn't understand her need for privacy and suffocated her with demands for closeness made him feel sad and angry. After repeated rejections, he became defensive and stopped investing energy in the marriage.
"We hammered out strategies to short-circuit arguments and improve their communication. They agreed that as soon as either sensed that a discussion was becoming heated, they'd call a time-out. Since both blamed the other for escalating anger, I gave them each an assignment: If Jim called a time-out, Cassie must respect it, instead of pushing for the last word. This allowed Jim to control his temper so he could return later, calmer, to the conversation. I also told Jim to keep a log of when Cassie spoke critically. When he started keeping track, he realized her remarks occurred less often than he had thought. This awareness enabled Jim to drop his guard and focus on the good moments they shared.
"Jim also had to learn to find happiness in his life that didn't revolve around Cassie. It was clear that he was stuck in a midlife career rut. We discussed what he could do for himself to find pleasure. 'My book should be done by the end of the summer,' he told me after several sessions. 'And I've decided to resume teaching in the fall.' Upon my suggestion, he reconnected with colleagues and took up new projects, such as enrolling in a furniture-making class and working for a candidate in their district's Congressional race. 'He's so busy now I have to ask him when he can squeeze me in,' said Cassie, pleased to finally have some time to herself.
"To this end, I suggested the couple make nonbreakable dates with each other once a week. Some dates were to be reserved for taking care of 'business' (such as paying bills and discussing the kids); some were for cuddling only; and some were for practicing the structured exercise called 'sensate focus' that helps couples gradually phase in sexual activity — undressing each other, touching and kissing — without the pressure to have intercourse. They set the mood with music, soft lighting, and scented candles. I told them to just enjoy the moment and each other. After a few weeks of these dates, both rediscovered how much they anticipated and enjoyed their time together.
"Meanwhile, I helped Cassie improve her body image. I gave her a couple of sentences to think to herself whenever she felt critical about herself: 'I don't have to look like a model to feel sensuous,' and 'Parts of my body can bring me great pleasure, and if I share them, it will make my partner feel privileged.' As she learned to appreciate who she is now, her bedrock of negativity began to crumble. I also told her that she had to do things that physically aroused her before she would feel a surge of desire. I suggested she pamper her body and tap into her sensual side through regular exercise, massage with fragrant creams, as well as the occasional facial or pedicure. Making time to listen to her favorite jazz CDs, to enjoy a bike ride through the country or the beauty of a sunset would also awaken her senses and add pleasure to her life.
"After about five months, Cassie and Jim felt ready to put lovemaking back into their lives. To break the pattern of rejection that Jim felt, I insisted that Cassie be the initiator. They decided to spend a long weekend in Florida, and while there, they renewed the intimacy that had long eluded them. When they returned, I reminded them that they had to set the stage for romance by scheduling sex just like any other activity. Jim has also asked his children and siblings to call before dropping over. 'They were fine with it,' he said. At the same time, he has made separate plans with his children to attend a football game or have lunch, instead of waiting for them to drop by. With more time alone, Cassie is more open to family get-togethers.
"Cassie and Jim ended therapy after a year, with greater patience and empathy for each other. 'Because sex is supposed to be fun, I didn't realize I had to work at it,' Cassie said. 'But now that I understand that, I feel so much freer to make it even better.'"
"Can This Marriage Be Saved?" is the most popular, enduring women's magazine feature in the world.

The euro fell the most in two weeks against the dollar as Italian and Spanish bonds slumped amid political turmoil in the euro-area's third- and fourth-largest economies, damping demand for the shared currency.
The 17-nation euro dropped versus the majority of its 16 major peers as Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy faced calls to resign after newspaper reports alleged he accepted illegal cash payments. A poll showed former Italy Premier Silvio Berlusconi closed the gap on front-runner Pier Luigi Bersani even as he appeals a four-year prison sentence for tax fraud. The yen weakened beyond 93 per dollar for the first time since May 2010. European Central Bank policy makers meet this week.
The political uncertainty in Spain and Italy has "provided a convenient excuse for investors to take some profit off the table," Joe Manimbo, a market analyst in Washington at Western Union Business Solutions, said in a telephone interview. "The broader theme for the euro is caution ahead of the ECB meeting this week."
The euro declined 0.5% to $1.3571 at 9:13 a.m. in New York after falling as much as 0.7%, the biggest decline since Jan. 18. The common currency slipped 0.7% to 125.80 yen. The yen rose 0.1% to 92.70 per dollar after sliding to 93.18, the weakest level since May 13, 2010.
Spanish Bonds
The ECB, which has held its main refinancing rate at 0.75% since July, will make no change at its next policy decision on Feb. 7, according to the median forecast of 58 economists surveyed by Bloomberg. Central-bank President Mario Draghi may signal more openness to a rate cut in his press conference, according to Citigroup Inc. in a Feb. 1 report.
Spain's 10-year bond yield climbed as much as 22 basis points, or 0.22 percentage point, to 5.42%, the highest since Dec. 18. Rajoy, who says the allegations published in Spain's biggest newspaper El Pais are unfounded, travels to Berlin today to meet German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
Italian 10-year yields jumped seven basis points to 4.40%. The additional yield investors demand to hold the securities instead of German bunds increased for a fourth day after Prime Minister Mario Monti said the spread may widen if Berlusconi is elected this month.
"It doesn't help that the political background is a little bit more uncertain," said Adam Cole, head of global currency strategy at Royal Bank of Canada in London. The ECB meeting will "be a negative background for the currency this week."
The euro will depreciate to $1.30 by year-end, Cole said. His prediction matches the median of 60 estimates compiled by Bloomberg. Implied volatility from options trading shows the chance of it ending the year below that level is 28%.

Here are over 150 covers of scary, spooky, horrifying, terrifying, funny, and in some cases ridiculous monster-related, science fiction related/ghost related/gothic-related and Halloween-related LP record covers. Some are rare and obscure, some are great and some are awful. You decide.
Arch Obler's DROP DEAD from Capitol was the gold standard of horror records. My brothers and I wore out several copies, always listening to it in... the dark:
Check out Leonard Maltin's essential new article "When Dracula Reigned on Halloween", which includes a link to the very blog you're looking at:
And click this link for more on a series of Horror LP records, not included here:
|"Tales of the Frightened" volume one (cover art by renowned pinup artist Freeman Elliot)...
|Maybe not so spooky, but four Boris Karloff heads is pretty hard to top.
|This album consisted of audio clips from several Universal horror films, and a Don Post Frankenstein monster mask featured on the cover.
a later reissue
Karloff narrates for the kiddies
the back cover
|"A George Garabedian Production".
Slightly misleading cover, as Dracula was no where to be found on this
old Suspense radio drama featuring Bela Lugosi.
|Monster Mash! Zacherle (spelled differently to keep the kiddies on their toes) Fever sweeps the USA!
|More Zacherley! (but not on the cover?)
|And another, Zach leading the pack, featuring a great Jack Davis cover!
|Funny monster stuff featuring Han's Conried and Alice Pearce. One of Jack Davis's best LP record covers ever.
Not the real Zacherley but an incredible simulation
|The exciting sound of Milton Delugg, and the wonderful cover art of Jack Davis.
|More Jack Davis. Front Cover...
|Spike Jones contribution to Horror LP fever, featuring Paul Frees and a duet with Vampira!
music to be murdered by.
|Alfred Hitchcock "hosted" this LP record, featuring spooky stories aimed at kids performed by actor John Allen. Great sound effects on this one.
|"Shock", Another example of the cover far exceeding the record. I stared at this cover for years in the back of FM, but was ultimately disappointed when it turned out to simply be edgy, piercing jazz music.
|"Panic", the sequel to "Shock". A truly disturbing cover.
|Spooky Sound effect albums! I always wondered where this great old house was actually located.
|Love this cover. I'm pretty sure the photo is from an animated skeleton musical movie clip.
|Disney even got in the horror act.
|Essential listening for fans of "Nelson Olmsted"...
|...as is this.
|Crude, but I always liked this cover.
|All this, plus words & music by Rod McKuen!

Unless you see the signs, it is hard to tell when you have crossed the Tennessee-Mississippi state line where Fayette County, Tenn., meets Marshall County, Miss., not too far from the southern city limits of Collierville.
On the Mississippi side, immediately past the signs marking the transition to a new state, is the turn onto Cayce Road, where the boundary vanishes beneath kudzu and two lanes of asphalt.
Truck traffic off U.S. 72 is heavy and gets heavier as the road gets wider.
There is still ample evidence of the farming life and rural communities that have long rendered state and county boundaries a formality.
There are some older homes on large lots that turn from yard to farm fields. A country church and an RV park are part of the scenery.
But that is changing rapidly as Marshall County at its northern border is booming with manufacturing and distribution development.
Roxul, a Danish company that makes stone or rock wool insulation, began construction in May on the $150 million project on 110 acres in the Chickasaw Trail Industrial Park.
Nash Nunnery of the Mississippi Development Authority describes Roxul as an "anchor" of the development.
"It brings a lot to the table as far as the idea of bringing large-type projects to that area of the state," he said. "DeSoto County is the fastest growing county in our state now and Marshall County is part of that growth as well."
The plant is Roxul's bid for the U.S. market. And it has some well-established neighbors in the 3,600-acre industrial park.
The 2-year-old Exel distribution center is 750,000 square feet with company executives reportedly beginning to plan for an expansion. ASICS America Corp. has a 500,000-square-foot distribution center there too.
Other tenants include Soule Furniture Refinishing, Eurowerks, Don Willis Construction and Office Warehouse Properties LLC.
RBR Enterprises makes the Vector 300 tractor and applicator in the park. Southeast Ag Equipment Inc. and Mid-South Ag Equipment Inc. are Vector 300 dealers who sell the tractors as well as distribute parts for them.
The park is North Mississippi's most ambitious and well-planned effort for a business identity and appeal beyond not being Memphis. Its impact means jobs and growth for related or supplying businesses on both sides of the state line.
"It's sort of hard to tell where the state line is," Fayette County Mayor Rhea "Skip" Taylor said of economic development efforts in the border area. "So, they go back and forth almost at will.
"That whole region down there is basically piggy-backing on everybody else, bringing the jobs down there. There's going to be a number of Fayette County folks down there applying for jobs, hopefully getting quite a few of them."
The "piggy-backing" description isn't a put-down of the Marshall County manufacturing boom.
"It is really a great advantage to be so close to Memphis, which is a major hub for business," Nunnery said. "FedEx is there and these larger companies, distribution companies, larger plants and industrial sites find the proximity to Memphis very beneficial. … It's a great concentric area."
Roxul president Trent Oglivie, who was part of the company's site selection team that began looking at locations in the summer of 2011, said the decision to go to Marshall County was about proximity to Memphis.
"We are closer to greater Memphis," he said. "The employment and universities and just the economic size of greater Memphis was an attraction. Alabama fought really hard for it. It really didn't come down to a bigger incentive for one state or the other."
For some time, DeSoto County distribution centers and warehouses have been visible from the loading docks of Memphis warehouses.
And for just as long, if not longer, the land on the Marshall County side of the state line has been zoned and waiting for industrial development.
"It's not an overnight success. This park has been in existence 15-plus years," said Bill Mobley of the Marshall County Industrial Development Authority. "It's just grown and getting the infrastructure there was an important piece of the puzzle."
The industrial park is even more of an achievement given the smaller population and tax base in Marshall County for such an undertaking. Marshall County has a population of 35,919 with a labor force of 15,917, according to the 2010 U.S. Census.
That means it doesn't have the tax base to undertake large, all-at-one-time infrastructure improvements that are necessary before site selection consultants will even consider recommending an area.
The 3,600 acres in the industrial park remain privately owned among a group of six to 10 landowners. They sign covenants enforced by the Marshall County Industrial Development Authority governing what the land can be used for and those conditions transfer to new owners should the current owners sell the land. The authority has options on approximately 1,000 more acres.
The covenant leans toward businesses in telecommunications, aviation, "and of course the thing that I think has made DeSoto County big – warehouse distribution," said Mobley.
The Tennessee Valley Authority helped with access to power. Roxul will put in a new $3 million substation as part of its presence in the park. The Marshall County Water Association is a privately held utility that meets other infrastructure needs. And the city of Byhalia, whose city limits are a good 10-12 miles from the industrial park, extended gas lines to the park.
The landowners also joined together to form Marshall County Utility Services, a publicly and privately funded sewer company providing wastewater treatment for the park and surrounding area.
The landowners in the park hired CB Richard Ellis Memphis to market the industrial park and also market the park individually using the covenants to keep the multiple efforts on a common course.
"It's not unusual, but it hasn't been done that much in our area," Mobley said. "We're a rural area and in the past we've needed to be able to get that private partnership in there with it in order to be able to do it."
Marshall County leaders also lent their voice to the location of the Norfolk Southern Corp. intermodal yard just north of the state line in Rossville. The key landowner in the Norfolk Southern project, William Adair, is also a substantial landowner south of the state line and in the industrial park itself.
The Chickasaw Trail Industrial Park is part of the Gateway Global Logistics Center on both sides of the state line that Adair and Joel Porter have partnered on with Panattoni Development Co.
An access road out of the Norfolk Southern facility goes south and soon crosses the state line.
"The only ingress-egress for truck traffic and car traffic is from the Mississippi side through our industrial park," Mobley said.
Economic development and political leaders on both sides of the state line emphasize that the impact of what is happening in Marshall County at the state line includes jobs for Memphians and relies on the intermodal facilities in Rossville, the BNSF intermodal yard on Lamar Avenue and proximity to Memphis International Airport.
But there remains an element of competition at the government level because where a business locates involves whose taxes that business and its employees pay.
The Mississippi employees pay a Mississippi state income tax regardless of which side of the state line they live on. And tenants in the industrial park do not pay what is the highest property tax rate in the state of Tennessee – the combined Memphis and Shelby County property tax rates.
"There hasn't been a new industrial building built in Memphis (speculatively) since 2008," Memphis City Council member Kemp Conrad said last month on the WKNO-TV program "Behind The Headlines." He was talking in general, and not specifically about the Chickasaw Trail Industrial Park.
"All an industrial building is – it's an envelope to house capital and jobs. They are building them as fast as they can in North Mississippi," Conrad continued. "They won't build them here … because the (property) tax rate is so high, they simply can't do it here."
"For years we heard in Tennessee that we don't need an income tax because it will hurt business," added Memphis City Council member Jim Strickland, who like Conrad opposes a state income tax. "Mississippi actually uses their income tax to recruit businesses. They turned it around and said if you bring your business to Mississippi we will take all the income tax that your employees pay and give you some kind of kickback."
Tennessee economic development leaders acknowledge that Mississippi's state income tax is also a factor in the competition, although they hasten to add that they don't believe Tennessee should go as far as implementing its own state income tax.
"I would never promote that as a policy for the state of Tennessee," state economic development commissioner Bill Hagerty told The Memphis News editorial board in February. "While it may be advantageous in a particular recruiting scenario to tax the workers and then pay it back to the employer, it's not good for the citizens. That's not our objective, to mask incentives and do stuff like that. We have no interest in pursuing that as a tool, although we have been on the receiving end of that."

Consensus Report
Animal Care and Management at the National Zoo: Final Report (2005)Board on Agriculture and Natural Resources
Each report is produced by a committee of experts selected by the Academy to address a particular statement of task and is subject to a rigorous, independent peer review; while the reports represent views of the committee, they also are endorsed by the Academy. Learn more on our expert consensus reports.
This report follows up on an interim report released in February 2004 that focused on immediate needs in the areas of animal care and management, recordkeeping, and pest control. The report finds that the zoo has made good-faith efforts to correct deficiencies noted in the interim report and has made some noticeable improvements in the past year in zoo operations and animal care. However, problems in areas such as staff training, workplace culture, and strategic planning still need to be addressed. Specifically, the report recommends that the zoo immediately develop and implement animal-care training programs to ensure that people who are directly responsible for the well-being of its animal collection are adequately prepared and competent. The report commends a zoo-initiated strategic planning process as a positive step, but recommends it contain a more detailed, comprehensive strategy of how it will meet short-term goals and that it should link plans to upgrade facilities with those to acquire animals. The zoo should also focus on improving communication among keepers, veterinarians, nutritionists, senior managers, and curators.
Key Messages
- A review of the CRC IACUC's activities for the last 5 years indicates that it actively reviewed all submitted animal research protocols. However, it failed to perform its other mandated activities, such as semiannual inspections.
- Although the OHS program has written policies in place on good safety practices, there has been a lack of compliance with these policies in some areas of the zoo.
- For many decades, the pathology department at the zoo has maintained an extraordinary reputation for excellence.
- In a majority of cases, the animal received appropriate care throughout its lifetime.
- The pest-control operation at the CRC facility has not experienced any difficulties. The unified system controlled by the new pest-control officer should minimize any future problems for the facility.
- The preventive medicine program at the CRC was recently updated, and the committee finds it appropriate for all the taxa maintained at the CRC.
- The strategic plan also does not link the zoo's vision with the animal-acquisition plan. The strategic plan does not take into account how the timeline for renovation and construction of animal exhibits should influence the animal-acquisition plan so that expansion of the animal collection will not tax facilities that are already failing.
- The zoo does not have its own human-resources plan, and the current strategic plan does not include projections of the staffing levels necessary to support the new strategic vision of the zoo.
- The zoo is updating and revising its zoo-wide policies with input from each unit, but protocols for husbandry, management, and enrichment have yet to be developed in many cases
- The zoo recognizes that communication is critical for its own revitalization and for ensuring high-quality animal management and care.
- The zoo still needs to address how it plans to train all employees uniformly on zoo procedures.
- The zoo's knowledge base has stagnated.
- There are numerous examples of failure to keep adequate medical records in the CRC veterinary hospital.
- There is also a concern with the zoo's zoonosis program: testing and immunization requirements are not being determined by personnel trained and experienced in occupational health and infectious disease and as a result are inconsistent across the zoo.
- when they began as volunteers or employees of the zoo.

Pancreatic Cancer is a growth of abnormal cells within the pancreas. Currently, pancreatic cancer is the fourth most common gastrointestinal cancer in the United States. The pancreas is a 6-10 inch organ found lying horizontally below the stomach that has both endocrine and exocrine functions. It not only secretes digestive juices but it also secretes hormones that are used throughout the body.
Pancreatic cancer is named depending on where the cancer originates. Cancers found in the ducts or the cells that produce digestive enzymes are called adenocarcinomas, and they account for the vast majority of pancreatic cancer cases. Tumors originating in the hormone producing cells of the pancreas are called neuroendocrine tumors. There are many types of neuroendocrine tumors including insulinomas, gastrinomas and glucagonomas.
Adenocarcinoma of the pancreas has an extremely high rate of morbidity and mortality. According to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, over 37,000 new cases are diagnosed each year and over 33,000 deaths occur each year. The mortality rate is nearly 90% making it the deadliest of all cancers. The disease has a very poor prognosis with the chances of living past 5 years around 5%. Early detection is key, though difficult in this form of cancer.
There are several risk factors for pancreatic cancer.
The causes of pancreatic cancer are not directly known, however genetic predispositions may have an effect. Studies have shown that lifestyle factors and environmental factors play more important roles in the development of pancreatic cancer.
Symptoms of pancreas cancer are related to the location of the tumor.
Many of the symptoms of pancreatic cancer manifest themselves late in the disease. Many of the symptoms are also indicative of other diseases, which leads to misdiagnoses and late detection of the cancer. It is because the cancer is so hard to detect and the symptoms so general that the cancer is already in the metastatic stage before the disease is even recognized.
Some symptoms may include:

Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees with a major or minor in computer science.
The major in computer science, offered by the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, enables a student to develop an understanding of the theory and practice of computing within the context of a liberal arts and sciences education. In addition to computer programming, majors in computer science study computer languages, logic, data structures and applications of computing. The art and science of problem solving are emphasized.
A degree in computer science can serve as preparation for technical careers such as computer programming, software engineering, systems analysis or system administration. A student with a BA or BS in computer science is also prepared to serve other disciplines as a problem solver, or to pursue graduate study in computer science. Because of their problem-solving skills, computer science graduates with knowledge of other disciplines may find themselves sought as candidates for graduate study in those fields.
Students who desire a more scientific emphasis will complete the Arts and Sciences College requirements for a BS degree; the computer science requirements for the B.A. and B.S. degrees are the same.
This program brings a problem-solving focus to the study of computer science and applications of computer science. Most upper-level classes are small enough to allow close interaction between students and faculty members. Interested students may also find opportunities for independent studies on topics of interest or to work with faculty members on student research projects.
All programs are to be planned in careful consultation with a departmental advisor and must have the approval of the advisor. Requirements for a major in computer science are:
The following core courses are required:
15 hours with approval of the advisor from the following:
Students who choose a minor in computer science must have a departmental minor advisor and complete a minimum of 21 hours of computer science and related courses, including (1) CS 65, 66, 130, 135; (2) two additional upper-division computer science courses, or IS courses numbered 145 or higher (excluding CS 140 — the tutoring course, and the Capstone course) and (3) Mathematics 54 (Discrete Mathematics). Completion of Mathematics 80, (Linear Algebra) is strongly recommended and is a prerequisite for CS 147, CS 150, and CS 165.

The chief of Egypt's military, Abdel Fatah al-Sissi, warned of the possible "collapse of the state" following a fourth night of street fighting in Cairo and other major cities. In that event, the military might very well intervene in an effort to restore stability.
Unfortunately, as we pointed out in August of last year, Sissi's sympathies lie with the Muslim Brotherhood. Indeed, this report by the Washington Post, though it suggests that the military itself is "fundamentally neutral," acknowledges that "Sissi is far more loyal to the Islamist regime than the previous generals would have been."
Ah, those "previous generals." Weren't they the pro-American crew that had its legs cut off by President Obama and Hillary Clinton when, in the aftermath of the election of President Morsi, they tried to act as a counterweight to his impending Islamist regime?
We have noted that Obama seems to view the Muslim Brotherhood as the wave of the future in the Middle East. The Egyptian street may beg to differ, but Obama has done his best to make his terrible prophecy a self-fulfilling one.

I am very happy with this binder. The quality is great. Even though this says 3 ring, it is actually a D-Ring and that is what I needed.
The quality of this binder is fabulous. I use it every year as my "One Little Word" binder.
nice looking, well made, roomy...
I have a few 8.5 x 11 scrapbook pages and protectors but I used my albums for gifts for family during a homegoing ceremony so these will be a replacement.
Love this album.great quality. Its attractive and sturdy. Very pleased with my choice.

Suffolk, ss. Division of Administrative Law Appeals
William Davison,
v. Docket No. CR-06-458
Teachers' Retirement System,
Appearance for Petitioner:
William A. Davison, pro se
365 Candlestick Road
North Andover, MA 01845
Appearance for Respondent:
Aaron Morrison, Esq.
Teachers' Retirement System
One Charles Park
Cambridge, MA 02142
Administrative Magistrate:
Maria A. Imparato, Esq.
William Davison filed a timely appeal under G. L. c. 32, s. 16 (4) of the June 30, 2006 decision of the Teachers' Retirement System to exclude from regular compensation used to calculate his retirement allowance the pay that he received for working two extra days during the summers of 2003 through 2005 as a guidance counselor for the Town of Billerica Public School system. (Exs. 1, 2)
I held a hearing on March 5, 2008 at the office of the Division of Administrative Law Appeals, 98 North Washington Street, Boston. I admitted documents into evidence. (Exs. 1 - 10) I marked the Petitioner's pre-hearing memorandum "A" for identification, and the Respondent's pre-hearing memorandum "B" for identification. The Petitioner testified. There is one tape cassette of the hearing.
1. William Davison, d.o.b. 6/20/1945, worked as a guidance counselor for the Billerica Public Schools until he retired for superannuation under Retirement Plus effective July 1, 2006.
2. Mr. Davison's position as a guidance counselor was covered by the teachers' Collective Bargaining Agreement ("CBA"). The CBA in effect from 2000-2003, and the CBA in effect from 2003 - 2006 both provide: "Guidance Counselors may be called upon to work, when necessary, at a pro rata reimbursement for two (2) weeks of the summer recess." (Ex. 3)
3. Mr. Davison was called upon to work for twelve (12) days during each of the summers of 2003, 2004 and 2005. (Exs. 4, 5, 6, 7, 8)
4. Retirement deductions were taken from Mr. Davison's pay for the twelve extra days each summer. (Ex. 1)
5. The Superintendent of the Billerica Public Schools opined by letter of September 3, 2003 that the "intent was for the 'two weeks' to represent no more than fourteen work days of summer employment." (Ex. 10)
6. The Chairman of the Billerica School Committee opined by letter of June 15, 2006 that "[f]or the time period of this present contract the 2 weeks has been interpreted by the superintendent as (14) work days (2 weeks)." (Ex. 9)
7. The Board interprets two weeks to mean 10 working days and accordingly allowed Mr. Davison ten days of creditable service for his summer work in each of the summers of 2003 - 2005. Mr. Davison appealed the denial of the two additional days he worked each summer. (Exs. 1, 2)
The decision of the Teachers' Retirement System is affirmed. Only ten of the twelve extra days of work performed by the Petitioner during the summer of 2003 - 2005 are deemed to be regular compensation.
Regular compensation as defined in G. L. c. 32, s. 1 is "salary, wages or other compensation … lawfully determined for the individual service of an employee. In the case of a teacher employed in a public day school who is a member of the teachers' retirement system, salary payable under the terms of an annual contract for additional services in such school … shall be regarded as regular compensation …" Under the Board's regulation, 807 CMR 6.01, the annual contract is the collective bargaining agreement for the unit which governs the right of the members. Under the terms of the CBA, Guidance Counselors may be called upon to work an extended work year by working up to "two weeks" of the summer recess. The Board viewed "two weeks" to mean two work weeks equaling ten days. The Superintendent and the Chairman of the School Committee indicate that "two weeks" mean fourteen days.
I conclude that according the term "two weeks" its ordinary meaning results in the conclusion that "two weeks" means two work weeks which means ten days.
The Petitioner is therefore entitled to have the salary he was paid for ten days of his extended work year deemed to be regular compensation because it is provided for in the CBA. The additional two days that the Petitioner worked each summer is not deemed to be regular compensation because it is not provided for in the CBA. Retirement deductions taken from the additional two days of the extended work year in each summer must be refunded to the Petitioner.
The decision of the Board is affirmed.

As if we already didn't have enough divas in "American Horror Story: Coven," Patti LuPone joins the show in Episode 3, "The Replacements," although her arrival is upstaged by two murders, bull-riding and one sick mama. (If you can't view the video above, click here.)
SPOILERS! If you haven't seen the episode.
LuPone plays Joan Ramsey, the Bible-thumping new neighbor to the gals at Witchwarts. Joan's first meeting with her neighbors ends with Madison (Emma Roberts) kinetically throwing a knife at her and torching her drapes. Joan kicks Madison and cake-baking Nan (Jamie Brewer) out of her house before delivering a Bible to Fiona (Jessica Lange) and telling her to keep the girls away from her family.
She would have made better use of her time by praising Jesus at midnight in the middle of Bourbon Street.
Meanwhile, Zoe the killer vagina (Taissa Farmiga) picks up Frankenboy Kyle (Evan Peters) from Misty Day's cabin and delivers him to his mother, Mrs. Spencer (the marvelous Mare Winningham), who is absolutely crushed that he's dead. Why? Well, that's a little stomach-churning. If Frankenboy could actually talk, he would have said, "Yeah, I love you too, but stop touching me down there. C'mon Mom!"
Instead, he bashes her head in with a trophy. Despite the joy that little comeuppance brings, I'm still a litle bored with KV's storyline. She seems to be brining Misty Day into the larger story so I'm being patient.
Marie Laveau (Angela Bassett) and Cordelia (Sarah Paulson) provide some super creepy in this episode, too. Cordelia visits the salon, asking Marie to take her jean-jacket-wearing hubby's baby gravy and do the funky fertility dance so Cordelia can get preggers.
Marie declines, and not too respectfully. "You were born into the wrong tribe," she says, explaining how Fiona already showed up at the salon. "She done messed with the wrong witch. And she knows it."
That showdown ain't gonna end well for somebody.
Feelings of loneliness, loss and the lack of love permeate "The Replacements."
After Zoe takes Frankenboy away, Misty Day (Lily Rabe) is left to dance her Stevie Nicks spin all alone.
Queenie (Gabourey Sidibe), who explains to Madame LaLaurie that Dr. Phil says food is a replacement for love, is so desperate to be loved she decides to ride the bull—yes, I'm talking about that creepy Minotaur, who comes a callin' and scares the crap out of Delphine (Kathy Bates).
Even Delphine, despicable as she is, bears a lonely cross: "Liiieeesss," she screams at "the magic box" when it informs her that a black man is president. Also, Fiona has commanded she be the Witchwarts maid and personal servant to Queenie, which has to be driving her crazy.
But none of these situations compare to the lonely life someone as fierce and fabulous as Fiona leads—self-inflicted as it is.
Fiona talks about the dance no one had to teach her and all the nameless partners she's had over the years. "I never suspected the night would come when the dance would end," she says, adding later: "I led a disreputable life but I've done it with style, and I'll die likewise."
She meets with a plastic surgeon and demands "Don't make me look like a god damn trout when I get out of here." Wouldn't it have been great if Ryan Murphy hired Julian McMahon or Dylan Walsh from his earlier series, "Nip/Tuck," to play the plastic surgeon?
Despite all Fiona's treachery, you can't help but feel for her when she talks about her regrets: She was a shitty Supreme. She was a horrible mother. She killed her mentor.
Oh yeah, we see Fiona back in 1971 as she cuts the throat of then-Supreme Anna Leigh Leighton (Christine Ebersole, yet another diva!). There's talk of the Seven Wonders, the gifts a skilled young witch should master before becoming the Supreme. Or she can take Fiona's route and kill the current Supreme first.
Fiona believes that the future Supreme is right there in Witchwarts and draining her very life force. It's Madison, who has been adding witchly powers to her arsenal daily.
When Fiona takes Madison out for coffee and tells her that self-preservation is the most primal instinct, you just know things are about to get primal down in New Orleans. Later she takes the youngin' out for a night of pool and partying and when they return to Witchwarts, Fiona slashes her throat! With the same knife she used on Anna Leigh.
With so many necromancers around, I'm not convinced this is the last we'll see of Madison. Maybe Misty Day will find a family after all?
The big question is: Was all Fiona's blather about having so much to give and so much to teach just an act to get Madison to let down her guard? Or does she really feel that way? OK, two questions. I think she was being honest, but remember what she said about self-preservation; it's survival of the fittest out there.
"The coven doesn't need another Supreme," she purrs as she looks at Madison's body. "It needs a new rug."
Yeah, Club Soda won't work on that stain, oddball house man with no tongue, er, Spalding (Denis O'Hare).
This week's big lessons:
- Incest is never best.
- Peach cobbler won't keep you warm at night.
- Bible-thumping hypocrites and racists are bad.
- Don't mess with the bull, you'll get the horny.
Speaking of horny, did I mention Joan's hunky son, Luke (Alexander Dreymon)? Finally some hot beef is injected into this season. Screw your mother, Luke—I mean, ignore your mother—and keep that shirt off.
What did you think of the episode?

And Now He's Fired: Nate Marquardt … Wait, What?
We blame ourselves.
Well holy shit. Word came out today that Nate Marquardt was having a bad day: he'd failed his medical clearances for his main event fight against Rick Story at tomorrow night's UFC For Free (or whatever they're calling it now). There weren't a lot of details, but his management said it "only temporary" and that "Nate's future is at welterweight."
Marquardt's day turned significantly worse just an hour later, when Dana Tweeted a terse video confirming that Marquardt was donezo:
"I'm sure you heard that Nate Marquardt is out. It's true. He failed his medicals. Not only is he out of this fight, and out of the main event on Versus, he will no longer be with the UFC."
WOW. We're not ones to speculate, but it's pretty obvious that BigDaddyWhite is pissed, like he's holding the fighter responsible for some misdeed.
Oh and by the way, Marquardt will be replaced by Charlie Brenneman, who had originally been slated to fight TJ Grant. Grant pulled out of the bout three days ago due to illness, leaving Brenneman without a dance partner.
Feel free to let your imaginations run wild in the comments, and we'll update you as soon as we hear something from Marquardt.

That's completely different than what you're claiming. Prove this:
In order to be absolutely certain about something, the odds of what they think must be 100%. I can always think of a possibility that works in the same situation. It is possible, but unlikely. Therefore, we must take this possibility into account. It makes the 100% choice, diminish to a 99.999999999% choice. And the other bizarre choice the .0000000001%. Therefore, we cannot be absolutely certain that the 99.99999999999% choice is correct.

Nobody knows whether John Mayberry Jr. factors into the Phillies plans for the future, but manager Charlie Manuel made it simple and clear what Mayberry has to do to earn consistent playing time.
"He has to hit right-handed pitching and has to be more consistent," Manuel said after Mayberry went 3 for 5 with a home run and 3 RBIs in Monday's 12-5 win over the Cincinnati Reds.
The Phillies have won three in a row and Mayberry is 6 for 13 with two home runs and five RBIs in those games.
"I think I am no different than really any other player," Mayberry said. "Just getting in there and getting your timing together is really going to really help you."
Manuel makes a good point about Mayberry hitting right-handers. After a good game against Reds righties, Mayberry is now 39 for 175 (.223) with four home run and 15 RBIs. Against left-handers he is 33 for 126 (.262) with seven home runs and 16 RBIs.
"When John has that good swing, he hits the ball hard," Manuel said.
Mayberry, who turns 29 in December, offers the Phillies tremendous versatility. He has played right, center and left field in addition to first base.
Mayberry had 15 home runs in 267 at-bats last year. This year he already has 301 at-bats and is hitting .239 with 11 home runs and 33 RBIs. His on-base percentage is just .281.
That is what Manuel means about being more consistent. Mayberry has a team-high 80 strikeouts. The Phillies will try to determine whether Mayberry is a fourth outfielder, or could be an everyday player.
He is one of many players who need to show in the final month that he can be a valuable contributor.

What if you had the chance to travel back in time and change just one event in your life? What would it be? For John Sullivan, there is no question. He would undo the events of October 12, 1969, when the out-of-control Bruxton fire took the life of his father, a heroic firefighter. Ever since he was a kid, John dreamed of being able to stop the tragedy of that fateful day, which set into motion the anger and loneliness that have haunted his adult life as a cop in the 1990s. Now John may get exactly what he has wished for, and more than he bargained for. One day before the anniversary of his father's death, in the midst of the spectacular storm known as the aurora borealis, John Sullivan discovers in the house he inherited his father's old ham radio and begins to play with it. Through the electrical static, he finds himself talking to a man who claims to be a firefighter and who appears to be awaiting the World Series of 1969. Is John really talking to his own living father on the very same day, in the very same house, but exactly three decades ago? At first neither can believe it, but soon John is carrying on an all-night conversation with his young father, sharing for the first time his deep love and regret over his future death. Yet John realizes that now he may be able to change all that. By alerting Frank to the mistake that cost him his life the first time around, John saves his youthful father from dying in the Bruxton fire. On October 12, 1999, John Sullivan discovers that he now has photographs on his walls of his father as a gray-haired man. By changing the past, the Sullivans have forged a new present. John is ecstatic with his new memories of his father- until he discovers other things have been altered. Subtle changes caused by his father's survival have led to a string of unsolved serial homicides, including the grisly murder of John's mother. Now Frank and John must race against the clock-divided by three decades and connected only by a radio-to prevent a murder that will seal their destinies. And each time Frank changes something in his universe, John wakes up to a whole new reality.
