The war in Iraq has now lasted longer than U.S. engagement in World War II, but the comparison heard most often these days is to an even longer war - the one in Vietnam.
When the United States invaded Iraq, many Americans called for unqualified support not only of the troops but of the war itself, with some implying that criticizing the war was morally equivalent to criticizing the service men and women in the middle of it. After all, we didn't want another Vietnam, where troops were demonized for fighting an unpopular war. But wait.
It's not that simple. More than 90 percent of returning Vietnam veterans themselves said they received a warm homecoming, according to a 1971 Gallup poll. That statistic is cited in The Spitting Image: Myth, Memory and the Legacy of Vietnam by Jerry Lembcke, a Holy Cross professor and Vietnam veteran who challenges the collective memory that the troops were blamed for Vietnam. And, of course, many Vietnam veterans became the backbone of the Vietnam antiwar movement.
So what lessons are there to learn?
When President Bush landed in Vietnam last month, he made a mind-boggling comparison between the wars, suggesting our long haul in Vietnam had somehow contributed to that county's eventual success and stability. He claimed the lesson he drew from Vietnam was "we'll succeed unless we quit." The success Bush so strangely evoked included 58,193 U.S. troops killed and hundreds of thousands wounded.
While the casualties in Iraq are nowhere near that, the shattering of each country is eerily parallel. Both wars were depicted by the United States as rescue missions to free people and to promote democracy and our own national security.
They became wars of insurgency where U.S. troops were increasingly perceived as invaders. Both wars have been marked by scandals of abuse, rape, torture and murder of innocent civilians. And in both, as in all wars "good" and "bad," the foot soldiers are the ones fighting and dying.
Two films about war were shown on Veterans Day at Studio@620 in St. Petersburg, sponsored by WMNF Community Radio and Veterans for Peace. Both films present the disturbing views of returning veterans. The first was the rereleased 1972 documentary Winter Soldier about the 1971 gathering of Vietnam veterans in Detroit. Gainesville antiwar activist and Vietnam veteran Scott Camil, who is prominently featured in the film, was on hand to lead a discussion with the audience, which included veterans of Vietnam and Korea and longtime peace activists. The second film, The Ground Truth, dealt with resistance to the war in Iraq among more recent veterans.
Camil was once a gung-ho Marine who served two tours in Vietnam and earned two Purple Hearts. He now spends time counseling veterans on a GI rights hotline and going into schools to educate students about the consequences of war.
Veterans loyal to each other
The films evoke the loyalty veterans felt toward each other but also their pain and confusion about their service in the wars they have come to reject.
Winter Soldier is a famous though seldom screened film about a public inquiry into U.S. official conduct in Vietnam. It took place one month after revelations of the My Lai massacre. More than 125 soldiers took part, testifying about standard operating procedures in their units, including atrocities against civilians and routine destruction of whole villages.
The title of the film and the inquiry takes its name from a quote by Thomas Paine: "These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman." Paine was urging commitment to the American Revolution and the glorious triumph he envisioned. But these winter soldiers define their patriotism by their courage to question their war.
Pain, guilt and outrage characterize the testimony of the soldiers who stood up in 1971 to relate their Vietnam experience. In a landscape where the enemy is seldom identified, soon loyalty is only to close buddies. Many of these winter soldiers went on to form Vietnam Veterans Against the War.
In the second film, Patricia Foulkrod's The Ground Truth, released this year, veterans of the Iraq war are interviewed about their experiences. The parallels between the conflicts, the agony and horror experienced, were especially evident when we watched these two films back to back.
Like The Ground Truth, a new book Mission Rejected: U.S Soldiers Who Say No to Iraq by Peter Laufer, profiles a recent crop of winter soldiers who are speaking out. But some Vietnam vets have been making these connections all along. In the winter of 2004, I spoke to a small band of Vietnam veterans who were waving flags on Tampa's Bayshore Boulevard, a few blocks south of the Bayshore Patriots at Bay to Bay.
These vets also supported the troops but some opposed the war. As Scott Camil said at the film viewing, "To see my country doing the same thing to my children's generation shows we didn't learn anything. It's like kicking dirt on the Wall."

Okay, in full disclosure, this pizza elicited more teen jokes than any other meal I've prepared. Trying to by "artsy," I made a flower design with the sage leaves. My daughter thought it looked like a marijuana leaf. I'm always glad to be the source of amusement. And really, no more trips to Spencer's Novelty Shop.
This pizza is super tasty and full of fall flavor. It involves no illegal substances, although pumpkin is so addictive this time of year, it probably should require a driver's license to purchase. We used a spicy chicken sausage, but I think an Italian sausage or sage sausage would be pretty terrific as well. Or even soyrizo if you are going meatless. I replaced our usual mozzarella with a blend of Swiss and Gruyère cheese–I think those cheeses taste great with the sage and pumpkin (and they melt beautifully).
I used organic canned pumpkin for this recipe because it is already cooked and it is very thick with little residual moisture. If you use fresh pumpkin, make sure you cook it down to a very thick paste or your pizza dough will be quite soggy (I made that mistake with butternut squash once and it was not good).
Pumpkin, Sausage and Sage Pizza (makes 1 pizza)
- 1 whole wheat pizza crust (recipe HERE)
- 8-10 fresh, organic sage leaves
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 lb. local, spicy link sausage, casing removed
- 1 organic yellow onion, peeled and sliced thin
- 2 cloves organic garlic, peeled and minced
- 1 cup organic pumpkin puree
- 2 cups grated Swiss and Gruyère cheeses
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
- In a medium skillet or saute pan, heat the olive oil to medium high.
- When oil is hot, add the sage leaves and fry them for about 90 seconds per side or until they are crispy, but not browned. Remove sage leaves to a paper towel to drain.
- Add the sausage to the pan and reduce the heat to medium. Cook the sausage until no longer pink, breaking up any large clumps with the back of a wooden spoon.
- Remove the sausage from the pan to a colander or paper towel-lined plate to drain.
- Add onion and garlic to the pan with the drippings and saute for 4-5 minutes, or until the onion is soft and starts to caramelize a bit. Remove the onion and garlic to a small bowl.
- Assemble the pizza by stretching the dough (my pizzas are never round–more like rounded rectangles) onto a flour dusted baking sheet or pizza stone.
- Top the dough with the pumpkin, spreading it across the dough, leaving a 1-2″ crust around the edges.
- Sprinkle the onions and garlic over the pumpkin.
- Crumble up 2-3 sage leaves and sprinkle them over the onions.
- Top the onions with the crumbled and drained sausage.
- Cover the whole thing with cheese.
- Arrange the remaining sage leaves into a flower that will be completely misinterpreted by your family.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes or until cheese is just browned and bubbly.
- Cut the pizza and serve immediately.

A Nobel Prize for Peter Diamond--October 12, 2010
It has been a big year for Peter Diamond, 70, the renowned professor of economics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In April, Mr. Diamond was nominated by President Obama to serve on the seven-member board of governors of the Federal Reserve. On Monday, he became one of three recipients of this years Nobel in economic science.
In between on Aug. 5, the day the Senate adjourned for its summer recess Republican senators used an obscure procedural rule to obstruct Mr. Diamonds nomination to the Fed. Senator Richard Shelby of Alabama, the ranking Republican on the Banking Committee, said, at the time, that Mr. Diamond lacked sufficiently broad macroeconomic experience.
Mr. Shelby responded to Mr. Diamonds Nobel by saying that the Royal Swedish Academy does not determine who is qualified to serve on the Fed board. True enough. But its quite a third-party endorsement.
It was absurd from the start to suggest that Mr. Diamond was unqualified. By law, the Feds mandate is to promote low inflation and full employment. Mr. Diamond and his fellow laureates are being recognized precisely for their groundbreaking work into the ways in which joblessness, job vacancies and wages are affected by regulation and economic policy.
The work bears directly on whether todays unemployment is a cyclical result of recession or a structural mismatch between workers skills and employers needs. It is also relevant to supply-and-demand issues in housing, another important challenge facing the Fed as it tries to steward the weak economy.
Last month, President Obama renominated Mr. Diamond for the Fed board. It is believed that Republicans will not try to obstruct his nomination a second time. To do so would be to deprive the Fed of one of the best minds in economics.
Is the author biased in favor of Diamond's nomination?
Is the author biased against his nomination? give me two words to proof the answers
2. Even there, please remember that we don't do your work for you. You need to try to answer those questions yourself first. If you post your suggested answers, we will be happy to comment on the grammar, punctuation etc of your suggested answers.

Yemen: Does Shari'a Oppose the State Law on Marriage?
Historical Precedents
The earliest concerns expressed by religious figures over the advancement of women in Yemen began in the 1930s. Responding to emerging desire among Adeni families to educate their girls, clerk Ahmed Mohammed Saeed emphasized (and set what later became a social convention) that girls must only be educated in religious studies and matters suitable to their "nature," in order for them to become more adept "wives and mothers of the future."
Two religious figures, both graduates of Al Azhar University in Cairo, became dominant voices in the 50s and 60s against women's public participation in Aden: Sheikh Mohammed Al Bayhani and Sheikh Ali Ahmad Bahamish. Al Bayhani published a book in 1950, "Ustadh Al Mar'a"("The Woman's Teacher"), in which he upheld conservative views on several topics concerning women. Between 1948 and 1950, Bahamish published a religious and social newspaper "Al Dhikra" ("The Remembrance") which was the mouthpiece of the Islamic Welfare Society. One of the paper's editors wrote in 1950, responding to discussions of granting political rights to women: "I say it…and I say it with strong emphasis: The woman is a creature for the home only; if granted alleged political rights, then woe to the men. Woe to them from a coming era." During the same period, a religious figure in Sana'a, Abdul Wasi'i Al Wasi'iy, published the book, "Al Burhan wa Al Hujja Fi Wujoob Ta'at Al Zawja" ("The Proof and Argument for the obligation of the Wife's Obedience" [to her husband]), preaching similar conservative views on women's social roles and duties.
An incident that caused great outrage among religious groups was when, in 1959, six female activists removed their veil and marched down the streets of Aden, rebelling against what they perceived as backward and hindering traditions. Not only did religious figures strongly protest, they declared an emergency meeting and, interestingly, approached the British colonial authorities for help in containing what they perceived as the beginning of moral chaos (The British refused to interfere). When journalist Mahia Nagib founded the female journal Fatat Shamsan ("The Maiden of Mount Shamsan") in 1961, religious groups and mosque imams in Aden mounted a campaign against the journal, threatening its founder and accusing her of blasphemy. And in 1969, they assaulted judge Hamida Zakaria, who had also been running a family program on TV, opposing her appointment as a judge and deploring her appearance on TV as causing fitna (moral disorder).
The socialist regime in the south provoked further religious opposition during the 70s with its radical social and economic policy measures that aimed at empowering women, especially its secular 1974 Family Law. This caused outrage among many Yemeni conservative and religious groups, not only within Aden, but even within Yemeni communities based in Saudi Arabia who reacted by broadcasting their opposition and demonizing the socialist regime through radio stations. The mid-70s in the north also witnessed a rise of Islamist opposition to organized women's activity. In 1974, a group of Islamists took over and closed down the Yemeni Woman's Association in Sana'a, which had been providing basic literary lessons, craftwork training, and running a radio Family Program. The Association remained dysfunctional until it was re-opened in 1979 by activist Raufa Hassan.
The Islah Party and other conservatives managed to influence the 1992 Family Law which was only a slightly improved version of the conservative northern 1978 Family Law of the former Yemen Arab Republic. In the same year, Islah organized a huge conference where several unsigned working papers addressing the woman's questions demanded behavioral codes for women, including hijab, separate educational facilities, and restrictions on travel without a male guardian. In 1997, a new conservative and regressive family law draft was secretly proposed and passed in Parliament without notice, but women later persuaded the president not to sign the bill. The Women's Studies Center at Sana'a University was ransacked, closed down, and its director threatened, by religious groups in the late 90s. More recent examples include the 2008 fatwa issued against calls for facilitating women's political participation through a quota system and the fatwa issued last month against the minimum marriage age set by the Parliament.
In light of the brief historical survey above, the recent efforts by religious groups to retract the marriage age law come as part of a continuous effort to employ religion in defining women's social and political realities. One common underlying rationale that informs religious and conservative reactions is the assumption that women's roles are pre-defined according to their nature or biology. Hence, women's education, work, public participation, and other life opportunities, are made subject to this socially constructed rather than naturally determined constraint. Another common rationale (or rather, fear) is that allowing women to practice their full autonomy will lead to social disorder and chaos. There are also the readily hurled accusations of blasphemy and/or association with ill-intentioned Western agendas at anyone who voices disapproval of the status quo.
Focus on women and gender relations
Regarding the recent marriage age debate, Assistant Secretary-General of the Islah party Mohammad Assadi said that "marriage age is an Islamic rule and political parties cannot intervene in such affairs." As we notice from this statement and from past incidents, there has always been a particular effort by religious groups in Yemen to influence the family law. More specifically, to ensure that it remains closely governed by the Shari'ah, as opposed to other areas (such as education, business, or labor) that regularly, and with no objections, undergo amendments that are largely secular in nature. This persistence of governing matters related to women and gender relations by Islam is best explained by Eleanor Doumato: "The woman issue has assumed a place of unprecedented importance in the definition of Islamic values and Islamic behaviors, mainly because in the rush of development and the infusion of Western culture, there is little else of symbolic value that is so visible, and no other group in society whose behavior can so easily by controlled, and no other challenge to religious values that threatens male identity or affects people's lives so personally."
Arbitrary Shari'aism
One of the main arguments presented during the recent marriage age debate was that "marriage age has no Islamic basis" and that "setting a marriage age for girls is [therefore] a restriction of what Shari'a permits." Indeed, religious scriptures are silent on marriage age, just like they are on many other daily matters. But what's interesting is how this silence in the case of marriage age is arbitrarily interpreted as "permission" by Shari'a. This arbitrary Shari'asim with respect to family laws, along with the constant assertion that such laws are divine and immutable, presents a central challenge to those attempting to reform family laws. This challenge is particularly powerful because such religious efforts, according to Amira Sonbol, "represent a patriarchal hegemony that is supported by traditions, conservative clerical classes and state power structures." We must realize that Muslim family laws are the products of socio-cultural (often patriarchal) assumptions and juristic reasoning about the nature of relations between men and women. They are, as Mir-Hosseini asserts, "man-made juristic constructs, shaped by the social, cultural and political conditions within which Islam's sacred texts are understood and turned into law."
Patriarchal interpretations of Islam, or Shari'a, and their portrayal as sacrosanct, have a long historical tradition that is not only particular to Yemen. Two sets of explanations for their existence (and persistence) are found in Islamic feminist (and no, this not an oxymoron) scholarship. They are best summarized by Ziba Mir-Hosseini: "The first set is ideological and political, and has to do with the strong patriarchal ethos that informed the classical jurists' readings of the sacred texts and the exclusion of women from production of religious knowledge, and their consequent inability to have their voices heard and their interests reflected in law. The second set of answers is more epistemological, and concerns the ways in which social norms, existing norms, marriage practices and gender ideologies were sanctified, and then turned into fixed entities in fiqh. That is, rather than considering them as social, thus temporal institutions and phenomena, the classical jurists treated them as 'divinely ordained', thus immutable."
Expedient Constitutionalism
Conservative and religious groups in Yemen have always had an ambiguous relation with the state. Their recognition of state legitimacy fluctuated with the degree to which they perceived the state as serving their interests. Arguably, the biggest fear of those groups is that the state and its goals becomes a higher authority than religion and the kin group, particularly in matters pertaining to women's status, as had happened during the southern socialist regime. In addition to family law, another site of tension between the state and religious groups is the constitution. Pre-empting the total loss of their long held authority to the state, religious and conservative groups assured that the new 1990 post-unification constitution made Shari'a as the sole source of legislation. This was further emphasized to the public masses, during the 1992 Islah conference, through slogans such as "The Quran and the Sunna Supercede the Constitution and Laws." Then, in 1994, another layer of assurance was created with the addition of Article 31 to the constitution declaring: "Women are sisters of men." This article upholds the authority of the kin group and perpetuates the cultural norm that typically regards females as inferior and subordinate to their male siblings and relatives. Today, with enough comfort in the authority guaranteed to them by the constitution, religious groups seem to recognize the legitimacy of the state and its constitution like never before. So much so that, in addition to claims of Shari'a non-compliance, claims of constitutionality, or otherwise, have become an expedient recourse for religious groups (like we've seen in claims of the marriage age law being unconstitutional).
Towards a "good life"
Shari'a, in its religious usage from the earliest period, as Fazlur Rahman notes, has meant "the highway of good life". And indeed, Shari'a court records from the Ottoman Empire reveal how people had faith in the "good life" Shari'a assured them. As Amira Sonbol asserts from her studies of those records, "the system was flexible and provided an avenue for the public to achieve justice and litigate disputes rather than to enforce a particular philosophy of social laws and norms formulated by the State." It is time that we re-establish this purpose of Shari'a, or any governing system for that matter. We've mastered the skill of deploying our constitution expediently and our Shari'a arbitrarily. Let us now learn to use this skill towards achieving humane and truly Islamic goals of equality, integrity, welfare, justice, and "good life," for all Yemeni citizens.

The value of a turnover is a topic addressed in The Hidden Game of Football, noting that the turnover value consists of the loss of value by the team that lost the ball and the gain of value by the team that recovered the ball. To think in these terms, a scoring model is necessary, one that gives a value to field position. With such a model then, the value is
Turnover = Value gained by team with the ball + Value lost by team without the ball
In the case of the classic models of THGF, that value is 4 points, and it is 4 points no matter what part of the field the ball is recovered.
That invariance is a product of the invariant slope of the scoring model. The model in THGF is linear, the derivative of a line is a constant, and the slopes, because this model doesn't take into account any differences between teams, cancel. That's not true in models such as the Markov chain model of Keith Goldner, the cubic fit to a "nearly linear" model of Aaron Schatz in 2003, and the college expected points model (he calls his model equivalent points, but it's clearly the same thing as an expected points model) of Bill Connelly on the site Football Study Hall. Interestingly, Bill's model and Keith's model have a quadratic appearance, which guarantees better than constant slope throughout their curves. Aaron's cubic fit has a clear "better than constant" slope beyond the 50 yard line or so.
Formula with slopes exceeding a constant result in turnover values that maximize at the end zones and minimize in the middle of the field, giving plots that Aaron calls the "Happy Turnover Smile Time Hour". As an example, this is the value of a turnover on first and ten (ball lost at the LOS) for Keith Goldner's model
And this is the piece of code you can use to calculate this curve yourself.
Note also, the models of Bill Connelly and Keith have no negative expected points values. This is unlike the David Romer model and also unlike Brian Burke's expected points model. I suspect this is a consequence of how drives are scored. Keith is pretty explicit about his extinction "events" for drives in his model, none of which inherit any subsequent scoring by the opposition. In contrast, Brian suggests that a drive for a team that stalls inherits some "responsibility" for points subsequently scored.
A 1st down on an opponent's 20 is worth 3.7 EP. But a 1st down on an offense's own 5 yd line (95 yards to the end zone) is worth -0.5 EP. The team on defense is actually more likely to eventually score next.
This is interesting because this "inherited responsibility" tends to linearize the data set except inside the 10 yard line on either end. A pretty good approximation to the first and ten data of the Brian Burke link above can be had with a line that is valued 5 points at one end, -1 points at the other. The value of the slope becomes 0.06 points, and the value of the turnover becomes 4 points in this linearization of the Advanced Football Stats model. The value of the touchdown is 7.0 points minus subsequent field position, which is often assumed to be 27 yards. That yields
27*0.06 – 1.0 = 1.62 – 1.0 = 0.62 points, or approximately 6.4 points for a TD.
This would yield, for a "Brianized" new passer rating formula, a surplus yardage value for the touchdown of 1.4 points / 0.06 = 23.3 yards.
The plot is below:
Update 9/29/2011: No matter how much I want to turn the turnover equation into a difference, it's better represented as a sum. You add the value lost to the value gained.

I think Kathryn hit the nail on the head. I feel exactly the same way. I grew up almost everywhere in the U.S. (Illinois, California, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and finally, but most unwontingly, Ohio). I think my accent, if I can call it an accent, was shaped mostly by the speakers in Illinois (very close to Chicago). Perhaps it's a Midwestern accent, but I here myself, my accent that is, when listening to people from Chicago speak. It's kind of scary.Originally Posted by Kathryn
I totally agree with Kathryn about the fluidity and aesthetic qualities of the British accent. It really does sound more refined and proper.

NEW POST Ron Bloom, below, the restructuring expert who helped overhaul the American automobile industry and more recently took on the ailing United States Postal Service, has now become a senior adviser to Lazard.
The investment bank, in a statement on Wednesday, said Mr. Bloom would provide strategic advice to the firm and its clients. He will start immediately. BEN PROTESS
FRIENDLY MERGER TPG Capital agreed on Wednesday to buy GlobeOp Financial Services, a major provider of administrative services for hedge funds, for £508 million, or $801.5 million.
Under the terms of the deal, TPG will pay 4.35 pounds a share, 22.5 percent above GlobeOp's closing price on Tuesday. It is also 48.5 percent above GlobeOp's stock price on Jan. 5, the day before the company disclosed it was in discussions with TPG. MICHAEL J. de la MERCED

Has anyone bothered to calculate the 1900 coordinates for V339 Del? I still record my nightly observation in order of their old Harvard/AAVSO designation system and would like to put the nova into its proper place in my list (there are a lot of variables within the 20th hour of RA!).
I had a conversion program a while back, but don't know what became of it the moment. Thus, any assistance rendered by someone who has already run the calculations would be most appreciated. Thanks guys.

given fullness in Christ, who is the head over every power and authority.
-- Colossians 2:9-10
What do quadriplegics (people whose hands and legs are paralyzed) daydream about?
Running a marathon? Ballroom dancing? Climbing a mountain? Many of us have scaled
down our fantasies. In my weaker moments, I'm tempted to think life would be great
if only I were a paraplegic - then I could use my hands. I see paraplegics transfer
themselves out of their wheelchairs into their own beds, reach for items in the
refrigerator, wash dishes at a sink and quickly sort through the mail. Then old
feelings of disappointment start to slink back into my heart.
Even able-bodied people look at others who seem more attractive, smarter, richer,
healthier, and who get all the breaks in life. In comparison, our minor defects
begin to look like deformities. Thankfully, the Bible has good advice for people
prone to compare. Paul tells us we have been given "fullness in Christ." In other
words, we are complete in Him. We have everything. We lack nothing. There's no need
to compare. Once we comprehend this truth, our so-called defects become reminders
of how "full" we are - because we have "fullness in Christ." The inferiority complex
releases its grip. We become content.
I wouldn't be happier if I were a paraplegic rather than a quadriplegic. The fullness
of Christ dwells in me, even with my infirmities. Therefore, I will gladly boast
as a quadriplegic. After all, you can't improve on "complete."
In what ways do you feel incomplete, inadequate, or less than you had hoped? Rather
than seeing these as insufficiencies, realize you are lacking in nothing. Why? Because
Christ dwells in you. Bask in that knowledge for a few, quiet moments and feel yourself
relax into contentedness.
* *
Many times I feel very weak and insufficient for the tasks and duties I am called to perform. I stumble and fall physically an d spiritually. It seems my disabilities are ridiculing me. Many times I don 't get the respect due to me as a lonely, handicapped reclusive woman, I get wounded. I wonder about the future.
If I look at a Python on the ground I will most probably be afraid of it, but if I let it be draped around my neck (for a short while) I can overcome my fear of it. So I have to tackle my problems head on - I cannot back away from them.
I had delegated 2 people to help me in a small church business which would earn us a few rupees each month. But they were lax and careless about it resulting in our losing ten thousand five hundred rupees. US $ 234. That 's a lot of money for us.
So I have to take over the duty of managing it. It will be a physical strain on me, but I have to do it, till I can find someone reliable enough for the job.Please pray for this.
Things are difficult but not impossible.
God 's grace is sufficient for me.
His power is made evident in weakness.

Possibility of Garza to Rangers diminishing
ARLINGTON -- The Rangers are still having trade discussions with the Cubs about pitcher Matt Garza, but the possibility of a deal has diminished over the weekend.
The biggest obstacle is that the Cubs have some medical concerns about one of the players being offered by the Rangers in return. The questions weren't serious but were considered legitimate. According to Major League sources, the two sides were trying to find alternative ways to make the deal.
The trade could happen, it may not or Garza could be traded to another team. The Cubs were in fourth place in the National League Central going into Saturday, 14 games behind the first-place Cardinals, and they appear to be determined to trade Garza.
Right now Garza is considered the top starting pitcher on the trade market, but the Rangers were among the teams that had a scout watching Jake Peavy pitch for the White Sox against the Braves on Saturday. Peavy, who allowed four runs (two earned) in six innings, made his first start since June 4 after being sidelined for six weeks with a fractured rib.
Unlike Garza, who can be a free agent after this season, Peavy is signed for next year at $14.5 million with a performance-based option of $15 million for 2015.
There is no word on which Rangers players raised concerns with the Cubs. But pitcher Neil Ramirez, whose name has been prominently mentioned in the discussions, has been dealing with some shoulder issues lately. He made his first start in two weeks for Double-A Frisco on Friday night and allowed five runs in 3 1/3 innings.

Hi all,
I am just working through all the methods for String in java.
I am on compareTo at the moment but have to say i dont really know what it does, i have a small working program here to test it:
package testing; import java.lang.String; public class testpage { public static void main(String[] args) { String myString = "abcdef"; String myStringTwo = "regkaneighuornag"; int myInt = myString.compareTo(myStringTwo); System.out.println(myInt); } }
And my result for myInt is: -17
But what does this -17 actually mean ? Thanks. All java docs say is ''Compares two strings lexicographically."
But i dont know what this is.

Catch up here on the latest news and announcements from Inmarsat.
If you have an urgent press enquiry, please contact us at email@example.com, or follow us on Twitter for further information.
Global Xpress® 2013 Service Launch Will Include Earth Station Testing Requirements Aligned with GVF 'Quality Products' Industry Initiative
Quality assurance is at the heart of Inmarsat's US$1.2 billion Global Xpress system. The launch of this new satellite service will be enhanced through the implementation of mandatory earth station testing requirements. This will be done in co-ordination with the Global VSAT Forum (GVF), the international association of the satellite communications industry.
Through Inmarsat's testing programme, earth station products to be used with the 2013 launch of Global Xpress broadband services will be required to demonstrate high levels of performance to ensure customer satisfaction. Inmarsat's programme will be aligned with the GVF Product Quality Assurance Framework, and meet the GVF Quality Products Industry Initiative.
"Inmarsat is committed to ensuring that our customers receive high-performance broadband satellite products," said Leo Mondale, MD of Global Xpress. "Our decision to require product testing in alignment with the GVF Product Quality Assurance Framework is a clear demonstration of that commitment."
"The global satellite industry is taking next-generation broadband solutions to a higher level of performance," said David Hartshorn, Secretary General, GVF. "Inmarsat's requirement for type-approved earth station products — and Global Xpress' co-ordination with the GVF Quality Products Initiative — will give customers the standard of quality that is essential in today's demanding marketplace."
GVF provides earth station testing through a mutually-recognized type approvals framework and an industry-authorised network of testing entities. Major satellite operators rely upon or conduct their own testing in co-ordination with the service, which is provided by GVF through its Mutual Recognition Arrangement Working Group (MRA-WG).
"Global type-approvals, which have a major bearing on industry profitability and competitiveness, have gained in importance as demand for satellite-based systems and services have increased and volumes have risen," said Colin Robinson, Chairman of the MRA-WG. "Inmarsat's support for the industry's quality-assurance initiative is well timed to address that trend."
The MRA-WG maintains procedure GVF-101, which defines a set of standard tests that an antenna or earth station manufacturer must perform in order to apply for type approval from any satellite operator who is a member of GVF. Use of this procedure assures the quality of the ground communication equipment and provides the earth station operator with a complete set of measured and verified test data. This helps reduce the time and cost required to bring new ground-segment technology to the market, provides credible measured performance data for use in developing link budgets, thereby advancing the competitiveness of satellite communications services.

Red Sox team up for Buchholz fundraiser
Current, former players show support at bowling event for local charities
BOSTON -- A day before kicking off their second half of the season against the rival Yankees, more than half of the Red Sox team took the night to focus on giving back to the Boston community.
At least 13 members of the current team assembled about a block away from Fenway Park to show their support for teammate Clay Buchholz in the first annual Buchholz Bowl, an event which raised money for kids with cancer.
A sold-out Lucky Strike Lanes just down the street from Fenway served as the venue as kids bowled alongside and spent time with current and former members of the Red Sox, including David Ortiz, Pedro Martinez, Dustin Pedroia, John Lackey and Jon Lester.
The event featured a bowling tournament, silent and live auctions, food and beverage service, as well as an awards ceremony with all proceeds from the event benefitting the Clay Buchholz Foundation.
"Awesome turnout," Buchholz said. "Obviously the first time I've done something like this and it turned out great."
Autographed memorabilia from all of Boston's professional sports franchises was featured in the private auction as well as a trip to see the Red Sox play the Yankees in New York City and a trip to Maui, Hawaii.
Sponsorships for the private event ranged from $5,000 to $50,000 for bowling opportunities and $200 for tickets.
Members of the Red Sox captained teams at each of the lanes.
"Pretty much par for the course about how professional and personal this ballclub is," outfielder Jonny Gomes said. "That's pretty much how tight this whole team is. Clay's having a fundraiser? Boom. Twenty-five guys come."
Buchholz kicked off the bowling by helping some of the younger kids at the event throw their bowling ball down a lane as cameras flashed and everyone watched.
They were shy at first, but it didn't take long for them to warm up to the Red Sox right-hander.
"It's funny how kids are," Buchholz said. "They're really shy at first and then they have a good time doing something and then they respond a little bit differently than they did at first. It's a great event. Definitely makes it better when you got the kids here having fun."
Buchholz's foundation, which was co-founded by his wife, Lindsay, chose to give the money from the event to local charities, including Christopher's Haven, which provides comfortable, supportive living spaces for children and their families while they are going through treatment for cancer at local hospitals.
"We've talked about doing this for such a long time. Cancer has been so important to us because we know so many people affected by cancer, especially children. It's heartbreaking," Lindsay Buchholz said. "Once we saw those kids at Christopher's Haven and actually get to see what they're doing there that they're saving lives, we knew this was the right place."

Lakers battle No. 14 Tritons
The Iowa Lakes women battled toe-to-toe with Iowa Central Saturday.
The Lakers trailed by four, 64-60 with 1:37 remaining in the contest, but the visiting Tritons made their free throws to pull away. A 3-pointer by Tayler Boroson with 13 seconds left wasn't enough as the Lakers lost 73-65.
"I'm proud of our physical effort," said Iowa Lakes coach Nicole Bullock. "It's the best it's ever been. We just got out-executed at the end.
"If we approach each game with the same type of effort, we'll be in every game," she added.
Iowa Central, ranked 14th in Div. II of the NJCAA, jumped out to a 9-1 lead in the first two minutes and threatened to win with ease. But the Lakers' defense stiffened as they tied the game at 10-10 on two baskets by Nijala Johnson with 14 minutes still left in the first half.
Over the next few minutes, the Tritons started scoring three points-via a 3-pointer or three-point play to build a 22-18 lead, but the Lakers tied the game at 22-22.
Iowa Lakes took its first lead in the last minute on two free throws by Shaunte Taylor at 31-30. The Tritons scored the next four points, but the Lakers had the final possession and highlight of the first half.
With just 2 seconds on the clock, the Lakers inbounded from the side to Alissa Johnson. She took a couple dribbles to get across half-court and launch the ball toward the basket. Fans watched the high-arcing ball bank in from straight on to tie the game at 34-34.
In the second half, the Tritons started quickly with the first six points, but the Lakers would never quite go away.
A 3-pointer by Macy Dahl had the Lakers within two, 54-52 with 6:30 left. Iowa Central's Lydia Harvey immediately answered with a three of her own and the Lakers never got closer than four the rest of the way.
Alisa Johnson led four Lakers in double digits with 13 points. Leah Courtney finished with 11 while Dahl and Boroson each had 10. Tucker finished with nine points, Nijala Johnson had eight and Carly Gilliland and Shabreka Edwards each had two.
Miliakere Koyamainavure led Iowa Central with 18 points.

More and more people, especially the overstressed, time-strapped, and nutrition-starved, are turning to detoxification to improve their diets and cleanse their systems. But what is detoxing really all about?
Registered dietitian and former media spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Lisa Dorfman dishes the straight goods on detox.
What is detox?
Detox is a naturally occurring physiological process wherein the body rids itself of toxic substances through sweat, urine, and feces, Dorfman says. These toxins typically include air and water pollutants and processed food chemicals. "The body first eliminates these toxins through the gut; whatever the gut can't catch gets into the bloodstream and passes through the liver, which flushes them out."
What is detoxing?
Sometimes, Dorfman says, toxins don't leave our body – they hang around in our lymph and digestive systems.
Detoxing provides your body with a nutritional break so that it can become a better waste dumper and nutrient absorber, Dorfman says. A proper detox lasts for a set period of time and involves eating a specific, nutritious, well-balanced diet that's high in essential vitamins, minerals, fibre, and antioxidants, drinking plenty of water and clear fruit juices, and getting enough rest. You can also incorporate moderate exercise into your routine.
You should talk to your physician or a registered dietitian to develop a detox plan that suits your body and health goals. A detox may be a good way to kick-start a commitment to a well-balanced diet and long-term healthy active living.
What is detoxing not about?
Dorfman says the main misperception about detoxing is that you need to go to a dietary extreme to achieve results. Detox plans people should steer clear of include water fasts, juice fasts, and combination water-juice fasts – or fasting altogether. Detoxing is also not about using laxatives to clean out your digestive system.
"There's a spiritual element to fasting – it's seen as a way to get rid of your sins," Dorfman says. "The truth is that fasting is the worst thing you can do to your body. Your body needs nutrients and energy; fasting just makes detoxing harder."
What should I eat?
A detox diet varies from person to person based on their age, gender, fitness level and dietary restrictions, Dorfman says, but in general, it should include whole-grain foods; probiotic yogurts; fruits and vegetables; sufficient protein sources, including beef, nuts, and salmon; and ample water and clear natural juices. "Make sure there's enough colour and variety in all the food you eat, and that all the food groups are represented," she says.
What are the overall health benefits?
Detoxing helps enhance general physical and mental well-being, Dorfman says. It might even be your springboard to a more permanent healthful diet. "When you're more in tune with your body, you feel better and you look better. It gives you energy and helps you achieve inner peace and enlightenment."

Capture the moment
Graduation means plenty of memories to capture in photographs.
But sometimes those precious moments end up as awkwardly cropped images of caps and gowns or blurry walks across the stage.
That's why we want to offer tips on how to take great graduation photos.
And that's where you come in. We want to share your best — and worst — graduation pictures.
After all, what's a photo tips story without some visual aids? And what better way to illustrate the do's and don'ts of graduation photography than with pictures that are frame-worthy as well as cringe-worthy?
Since we're talking graduations of all ages, we welcome your photos of the cutest little preschoolers on up to the never-too-old-to-get-it-done grown-ups. So go forth and seek them out.
Email your good and bad graduation pictures to us at firstname.lastname@example.com. Put "Graduation Photos" in the subject line and include your name and daytime phone number, plus the name of the graduate and anyone else in the picture and any other information (school, year, etc.).
Submissions are due by April 18.

The sole Austrian Porsche distributor, Porsche Salzburg Austria, seems like they were a pretty fantastic bunch of kooks back in the '70s. Why? Because they're a Porsche distributor, and they wanted to rally. So they entered a Beetle.
You may be thinking "Why don't the enter a Porsche?" but where's the fun in that? Instead they created one of the most amazing rally Beetles, the Salzburg Rallye Beetle. It had a Porsche 914 5-speed transmission, and a very heavily modified Beetle engine that put out well over double the stock output at 129 DIN HP.
Man, that looks like fun.

Unified Messaging provides the functionality of having voice mail, email and fax to a single location that is the user's mailbox. In Exchange 2007 Unified Messaging the fax feature is limited to inbound fax only. Which means that, an external or internal caller can call to the UM server and leave a fax message for a user with Exchange 2007 mailbox. A user can receive fax in their mailbox the following manner:
Protocol for Fax
UM supports T.38 protocol for fax media. The signaling information is sent by the VOIP endpoints (gateway or IP-PBX) as SIP over TCP. UM relies on the VOIP endpoints to detect the fax tone and take appropriate action in handling the media.
Configuring the Fax Feature in UM
The default configuration on Unified Messaging is already set for receiving fax. Which means the dial plan, the user and the UM server are all by default, Fax enabled.
A UM enabled user account has a parameter called 'FaxEnabled' which determines whether the user is enabled for fax or not. If this attribute is 'not set' then the user defaults to the settings of the dial plan.
The command for enabling fax for a dial plan:
Set-UMDialPlan –identity MyDialPlan –FaxEnabled $true
When you enable a dial plan for Fax all the users within that dial plan are enabled for fax unless user level attribute for fax is set to 'false'.
The duration of the fax call is impacted by the parameter 'MaxCallDuration' parameter of the dial plan. It is set to 30 minutes by default.
You can also configure fax on the UM mailbox level. You have to set the UM mailbox attribute 'FaxEnabled' to 'true' to enable the user to receive fax. After the user is fax enabled you can add a new proxy address of 'eum' type as an alternate number for fax or you can use the same number for voicemail and fax messages.
The command for enabling fax for a user:
Set-UMMailbox –identity UMUser1 –FaxEnabled $true
If the dial plan is configured for fax but a user's 'faxEnabled' attribute set to 'false', the user will not receive fax messages.
Configure Fax Attributes for a UM Server
This section explains how to use the Exchange Management Console and the Exchange Management Shell to configure the number of concurrent fax connections that are accepted by a Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Unified Messaging (UM) server. The range of concurrent fax calls is 0 to 200, and the default value is 100.
You need to have exchange organization administrator permission to perform this operation.
Following is the step by step procedure:
Following is the command:
Set-UMServer -Identity UMServerName -MaxFaxCallsAllowed 100
You can configure couple of settings in the UM Mailbox Policy to customize the fax that the user's receive.
You can add fax identifier for all incoming Fax by editing the UM Mailbox Policy. The parameter is 'faxId'. By default the value is set to 'Microsoft Exchange'
Following is the command:
Set-UMMailboxPolicy –identity MyUMPolicy –FaxId "Fax Service"
You can add a default message for all incoming Fax by editing the UM Mailbox Policy. This message is added within the body of the email message that has the fax message. The parameter is 'faxMessageText'
Following is the command:
Set-UMMailboxPolicy –identity MyUMPolicy –FaxMessageText "This Fax is received by UM Server."
The fax call flow to UM server is very similar to the voice mail call flow. For details go to:
Fax Message in the client
Fax message will arrive as email message with fax message as an (tif) attachment. After receiving the fax message from the gateway, UM server will treat the message the same way as with voice mail message. The message will look like the following screen shots in the client machine, Outlook or OWA client:
