Introverted Litigators: How to Go from Good to Great
June 3, 2015 By Kate Mangan Leave a Comment
We are excited to welcome back Kate Mayer Mangan! You may recall her previous post about whether personality tests are an actual indicator of career success, especially for lawyers. Today Kate shares some tips for how introverts can achieve success in litigation careers. Welcome back, Kate!
Litigation, especially in the courtroom, seems a poor fit for an introvert. Introverts usually prefer quiet, flourish with less stimulation, and are often called shy or reserved. Courtrooms, with their lambasting judges, rude opposing counsel, and judging juries would hardly seem an environment where an introvert would succeed. When we think if introverts, we think of bookish types, not dashing performers who wow juries and judges with their charisma. But armed with some knowledge about what makes introverts perform well, as well as some tricks for faking it, introverts can be calm and charismatic litigators.
Fake It
The first bit of reassurance is that the judge and jury probably won't know that you're not a natural performer. Susan Cain, the author of Quiet: The Power of Introverts in World That Can't Stop Talking and a lawyer herself, explains that introverts can be just as skilled at public speaking as extroverts. Introverts can fake extroversion, she writes, particularly for the sake of work they love or causes they value. In some studies, observers could hardly tell the difference between real extroverts and introverts who were faking it.
Recent research by Amy Cuddy confirms that faking it affects our physiology in ways that probably enhance our performance. Cuddy has shown that adopting "power poses" for two minutes before a meeting can build courage, reduce anxiety, and inspire leadership, all assets to a great courtroom performance. She reports that adopting a power pose can increase testosterone levels by about 20% and lower the stress hormone cortisol by about 25%. For introverts who feel nervous about performing in court, using power poses before and during a hearing or trial can help.
Long before I'd heard of Susan Cain, Amy Cuddy, or knew there was a science of introversion, a grizzled trial veteran advised me to "fake it." I am a dyed-in-the-wool introvert, and I was beyond nervous before the first motion I ever argued, which was a major motion in a $40 million trial. The veteran told me to "act like the lawyer you want to be." I suspect he may have been an introvert himself, but regardless of his personality type, he was an extraordinarily successful trial lawyer—partner at an AmLaw 100 firm, ABOTA, Inn of Court master—you name the trial lawyer accolade, and he had it. He told me, even in his sixties, he tried to act like his trial lawyer heroes; in a word, to fake it. His advice helped me calm down enough to deliver a successful argument. When modern science and trial lawyer lore line up, there must be truth nearby. So don't worry about how awkward or nervous you feel; just fake it.
Extra, Solitary Preparation
Of course, faking it without preparing is unwise, especially for an introvert. In fact, the key for many introverts is extra preparation—usually alone. Introverts typically don't like to wing it, but will do well if they have time to prepare thoroughly. Cain writes that introverts often prefer to work more slowly, deliberately, and on one task at a time. This is good news for introverted litigators. You typically know far in advance when your trial call or hearing will be. You can build in extra time to prepare.
It's worth paying attention to the process that works best for you. Do you like note cards? A detailed, neatly typed outline? Practicing on video-tape? Perhaps you think best if you write out your argument longhand instead of typing. Try a few methods and pay attention to which is most effective for you. Mastering a particular process will give you a concrete tool to turn to whenever you need to appear in court. Knowing you've used a tried and true procedure will give you extra confidence when you're forced out of your comfort zone.
One particularly helpful tool is to visualize yourself making brilliant arguments in the very courtroom where you'll be appearing. This is something Olympic athletes do, and it works. Michael Phelps played the "video tape" of his race every night for years, so often that the "video" became the reality and practically second nature. You can do this, too. Play a "video" of yourself delivering an incredible examination (like Tom Cruise in A Few Good Men) or an amazing oral argument (like any John Roberts or Paul Clement Supreme Court argument). You will start to know what it feels like to perform brilliantly.
Charge Up Before, Recharge After
One of the quintessential traits of introverts is that their energy is sapped when they spend too much time out of character. Cain advises the creation of "restorative niches," places in your daily life where you can go to return to your true self. You may want to charge your batteries before your appearance. That likely means spending time alone, gathering your thoughts, rehearsing, planning, and relaxing. Introverted litigators are not likely to want to "talk through" their arguments over an early morning cup of coffee. A pre-hearing team meeting is more likely to rattle you than to pump you up. If you're an introvert, protect your solitary prep time.
After the big event, you'll very likely need to recharge—alone. Don't head straight for the post-game debriefing. Take a walk around the block or excuse yourself to catch up on email or phone calls. If you need to head back to court for another session or move straight into another intense task, make sure you carve out time to recharge. Introverted speakers have been known to steal away to bathroom stalls or their hotel rooms, just to catch a few minutes of quiet. This is wise, and if you do it, your career and performance will benefit.
Take heart, introverted litigators. With the right systems in place to respect your personality, you, too, can deliver winning performances in court.
Thanks, Kate! Great article.

AUGUSTA, Maine — Agriculture Commissioner Walter Whitcomb on Tuesday shared new details about a plan from Gov. Paul LePage's administration to restructure the Maine Forest Service, including the elimination of about 12 to 13 forest ranger positions.
Whitcomb told a joint meeting of the Legislature's budget writing Appropriations and Agriculture committees that the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Conservation wants to separate rangers' firefighting and law enforcement responsibilities. The department also wants two new positions to focus on resource protection in anticipation of another destructive infestation of spruce budworm or other invasive insect species that could spell trouble for Maine forests.
Whitcomb also said the total number of active positions that were being eliminated within the Department of Conservation was equal to 3.5 full-time jobs and that many of the reductions in staff proposed under the department's 2016-2017 budget are vacant positions.
Sen. Roger Katz, R-Augusta, a member of the Appropriations Committee, questioned how a revamped Forest Service with just six full-time officers with law enforcement powers effectively would respond to the 4,000 calls per year for law violations currently handled by about 55 rangers.
"The numbers that we have used are far different than those than I see quoted in the press," Whitcomb said.
He said the most common infraction rangers are called to deal with is littering.
"The number of calls that had to do with specific law enforcement are dramatically less than the number you just described and others I have seen in the press," Whitcomb said.
The proposal to eliminate several rangers positions came on the heels of a legislative bid in 2014 to allow the state's forest rangers to carry firearms, like other Maine law enforcement.
The Legislature sustained LePage's veto of that bill, effectively killing it.
In his veto message, LePage said lawmakers failed to provide the funding to train the rangers and to provide weapons and ammunition for them.
Rangers cited the need to carry firearms because they often are in dangerous situations in the woods, including when they encounter illegal drug operations or are enforcing logging laws against hostile individuals who may be armed.
Ed Archer, president of the Maine State Law Enforcement Officers Association, the collective bargaining arm of rank-and-file rangers, told the Bangor Daily News earlier this month that his organization was blindsided by the budget proposal.
Meanwhile, a Facebook page set up as the Maine Forest Rangers Association community has suggested the administration's proposal to eliminate ranger positions is retaliation by LePage for the rangers seeking the ability to be armed. Whitcomb has refuted that allegation.
Among other things, Maine's forest rangers are responsible for fighting wildfires, investigating forestry violations that include arson and timber theft and enforcing timber harvesting laws. They also inspect active logging operations.
Whitcomb said Tuesday a shift in focus would push the rangers' law enforcement role to the new law enforcement officers and that efforts were under way to put rangers in more a coordinating role when it comes to fighting forest fires in Maine.
While some lawmakers questioned whether the state would have enough rangers to combat fires under the new plan, Whitcomb noted that Maine has enough additional rangers each summer to be able to send teams of rangers to fight wildfires in other states. He noted that Maine receives revenue from other states and the federal government when it sends rangers to fight fires elsewhere and that the rangers are better trained and able to help train other local firefighters as a result.
Sen. Jim Dill, D-Old Town, a member of the Agriculture Committee, asked whether the intent of the proposed changes is to convert some of the 13 rangers, who would lose their jobs under the restructuring, to the new conservation law enforcement positions.
"I would certainly hope that a lot of those individuals would be at the top of the list in terms of applicants," Whitcomb said.
He said the department intended to use existing state civil service rules in the hiring process while recognizing the new law enforcement job classification would have heightened qualification requirements.
While Whitcomb downplayed the potential lost ranger positions, he also told lawmakers there was little doubt the proposal before them was a significant change in the way the Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry would be operated and staffed.
As part of an overall budget proposal being offered by the LePage administration, lawmakers will spend the next few months holding hearings and work sessions on the proposals and could adopt or reject all, part or none of them.

how to troubleshoot the above error, what to check , very less clues in the flink logs

A: The reason why is happening is because you are submitting a job across a distributed cluster and the location you have specified is perhaps only accessible by Job manager or machine from where you have submitted your job. However, actual program and Job execution takes place in Task Manager. Better approach for this would be by specifying a location which is accessible by all the nodes, may be HDFS or NFS.

TOP STORIES / World
Land grabs, biofuel demand raise global food-security risk
A new report says Europe's growing demand for biofuels increases the risk of conflict over land and impairs food security. The authors even warn of a potential global crisis.
Demand for biofuels could lead to more food shortages
The report, compiled by international environmental pressure group Friends of the Earth (FoE), says that the amount of land being taken in Africa to feed Europe's increasing demand for biofuels is "underestimated and out of control." An area of arable land the size of Denmark – around five million hectares – has been acquired by foreign companies to produce biofuels, mainly for the European market, the report says.
The FoE warns that even more land will be required for biofuels if the European Union is to reach its target of 10 percent of transport fuels from renewable sources by 2020.
Africans have protested unfair land deals
"Our research shows that Europe's demand for biofuels is a major driver of land grabbing in Africa," Adrian Bebb, food and agriculture campaigner for FoE Europe, told Deutsche Welle. "Local communities are facing increasing hunger and food insecurity just so Europe can fuel its cars."
The pressure on local communities, regional and national governments in the 11 African nations investigated in the report's research could lead to internal conflicts and potentially spread across borders as arable land, forests and natural vegetation are cleared for biofuel production.
Internal African unrest building over land rights
According to a controversial leaked World Bank report on land grabs – which it has so far refused to release publicly – local communities are being bypassed in consultations between land-acquiring companies and African governments, a situation which has already led to conflicts over land rights. The report, cited by FoE, claims that there have been protests in Tanzania, Madagascar and Ghana following land grabs by foreign companies.
Food shortages could lead to rioting, experts fear
"The expansion of biofuels on our continent is transforming forests and natural vegetation into fuel crops, taking away food-growing farmland from communities, and creating conflicts with local people over land ownership," said Mariann Bassey, food and agriculture coordinator for Environmental Rights Action/FoE Nigeria.
"The aim of the investments taking place at the moment is to satisfy the food or agrofuel needs of foreign governments; some Gulf States, Asian countries and also EU-countries, and in the case of private companies, the hope for lucrative gains by speculating with land or trading agricultural goods," Alexa Emundts from MISEREOR, a German development organization affiliated with the International Cooperation for Development and Solidarity Alliance, told Deutsche Welle.
"Most of the investments are done by a broad range of private companies, but there are also joint ventures with governments or purely government-lead investments from a number of Gulf States, China, India and others."
The large scale investments in African land carry "a high risk for the local population's food security," Edmundts added.
Many of these investments, aiming at the production of export goods, target non-democratic countries that suffer from high rates of malnutrition and which even depend on food relief, such as Sudan and Ethiopia.
"By further reducing access of the local population to land, this situation will still be aggravated," Edmundts said.
Food shortages and conflicts a possible consequence
With increasing demand for biofuel production reducing areas of arable land around the world, experts fear that the ultimate impact on food security will be global rather than local. Food shortages bring their own threat of instability and unrest. Resources and commodities used in food production will become increasingly sought after, and regions providing these will become more important and protected.
"When the food prices spiked in 2008-2009, we saw serious riots and the governments of Haiti and Madagascar fell," said FoE's Adrian Bebb. "Over the coming years we will see an increase in competition for land and natural resources, especially to meet the demand for biofuels ... Biofuels also need a lot of water and this could be a sticking point between nations."
The north-to-south food flow may slow in the event of crisis
"Using agriculture land in Africa to supply the world's commodity markets will make it more difficult for Africans to feed themselves," he added. "Many countries and regions in Africa already face serious food insecurity issues. Rural communities losing their access to land and water would exacerbate existing problems and in likelihood lead to a greater dependence on imported food aid."
Andrew Jarvis, a food security expert at Chatham House, agreed that the strategic importance of land for food production, and who owns it, is a rising political issue.
"We are seeing debates about so-called land grabs in Africa and Asia, but also debates in Australia and New Zealand about foreign – especially Chinese – ownership of farmland, and a resurgence of interest in the US too," he told Deutsche Welle.
"Countries such as Russia and the Ukraine can now see their potential for wheat production as a source of economic growth but also of strategic advantage. With countries seeking to have rights to food produced in other states, there is certainly scope for these deals to exacerbate local and regional conflict risks."
North-South divide likely to increase in food crisis
Dr. Stephen Humphreys, a food-security expert at the London School of Economcs and Political Science, said today's global food system "has the form of interdependent chaos."
"It is globalized in the sense that falling or rising wheat subsidies in the US will affect the price of bread in Swaziland – but without anyone actively overseeing or managing these effects," he told Deutsche Welle.
"The principal flow of food is still from North to South, due to a general policy of food sovereignty and over-production in the countries of the North. In principle, biofuel production in the South is therefore unlikely to impact food availability in the North, at least in the medium term."
If arable production increasingly becomes the preserve of in the North, then North-South conflict is unlikely, he added.
"There are powerful structures in place to maintain security and stability in these countries. But of course, where production continues in diminishing pockets of countries with lesser security apparatus, we should expect conflict in the event of global food shortages."

Q: Asymptotes of a General Rational Function
$f(x)$ is a rational function of the form $f(x)=\frac{ax^2+bx+c}{dx+e}$ and the function $g(x)$ is given by $g(x)=\frac{4}{f(x)}$. It is known that $f(x)$ has an oblique asymptote $y=x+1$ and $g(x)$ has vertical asymptotes $x=\frac{1 \pm \sqrt3}{2}  $. Find all the values of $x$ for which $f(x)=g(x)$.

The answer is $x=\frac{-1\pm\sqrt19}{2}$.
Vertical asymptotes of $g(x)$ are when $f(x)=0$ which is when $ax^2+bx+c=0$
Therefore
$ax^2+bx+c=(x-(\frac{1+\sqrt3}{2}))(x-(\frac{1- \sqrt 3}{2}))=0$
$2x^2-2x-1=0$
$f(x)=\frac{2x^2-2x-1}{dx+e}=\frac{2}{d}x-\frac{2}{d}(1+\frac{e}{d})+\frac{1+\frac{2e}{d}+\frac{2e^2}{d^2}}{dx+e}$
$\lim_{x\to0}f(x)=\frac{2}{d}x-\frac{2}{d}(1+\frac{e}{d})=2x+1$
Therefore $d=2$ and $e=-4$
$f(x)=\frac{2x^2-2x-1}{2x-4}$
$g(x)=\frac{4(2x-4)}{2x^2-2x-1}$
$f(x)=g(x)$
$\sqrt((2x^-2x-1)^2)=\sqrt(4(2x-4)^2)$
$2x^2-2x-1=2(2x-4)$
$2x^2-6x+7$
which gives no solutions
I didn't think that method would work as it does not take into account the $\pm$ of the square root.
Expanding gave the equation
$4x^4-8x^3-16x^2+68x-63=0$
which gives 4 solutions,
$x = \frac{-1\pm\sqrt19}{2}$, and the two complex solutions $\frac{3\pm\sqrt5 i}{2}$
which actually gives the correct answer

A: So, you've got $a,b,c,e$ and $d$, so I'll take it from here.
Instead of writing $$f(x) = g(x)$$
I will write $$f(x) = \frac{4}{f(x)}$$
$$f(x)^2 = 4 $$
Then $$f(x) = ± 2$$
Taking $f(x) = 2$ gives: $2x^2 - 6x + 7 = 0$, which has no real solutions.
Taking $f(x) = -2$ gives:  $2x^2 + 2x - 9 = 0$, which has the two aforementioned solutions.
Hope this helps!

Bigg Boss 3 – 11th July
Bigg Boss Tamil is a reality show based on the original Dutch Big Brother format developed by John de Mol Jr. A number of contestants (known as "housemates") live in a purpose-built house and are isolated from the rest of the world. Each week, housemates nominate two of their fellow housemates for eviction, and the housemates who receives the most nominations would face a public vote. Eventually, one housemate would leave after being "evicted" from the House. In the final week, there will be four housemates remaining, and the public will vote for who they wanted to win. Unlike other versions of Big Brother, the Tamil version uses celebrities and famous people as housemates, not ordinary members of the general public

School social workers help students with academic and mental health problems.
4 What Is a School Social Worker?
Elementary school social workers provide a valuable service to children as they progress through their school years. In collaboration with other school professionals, such as teachers, administrators and school psychologists, school social workers try to help remove barriers to learning and address issues that may affect the well-being of the student, both in and out of the school environment.
One of the main duties of an elementary school social worker is to provide counseling to students with social, emotional or psychological problems. An elementary school social worker may help a child who is being bullied, a shy child who has trouble making friends or a child with a learning disability who has trouble integrating into his new special education class. A school social worker may also provide crisis intervention counseling in emergency situations like suspected suicidal ideation or violence. In addition to direct contact with the student, an elementary school social worker may also draw family members or other involved professionals, such as child protective services workers, into counseling sessions to help address any identified needs, and to provide referrals to outside agencies or therapists if additional counseling services are required.
Elementary school social workers participate in assessment meetings to determine whether a student has a learning disability or requires placement in special education classes. They are also involved in Individual Educational Planning, or IEP, meetings and discuss a student's disability with teachers, school professionals and related services providers to make sure that the student's identified needs are being adequately met. As part of the assessment process, an elementary school social worker may compile a psychosocial history that details important biological, psychological and social influences in a student's life.
Elementary school social workers provide education on a variety of important biological, psychological and social topics, including health and wellness, bullying, substance abuse and violence prevention. They may conduct in-school workshops or after-school programs to help educate students on topics such as self-esteem, depression and anxiety, cultural diversity and awareness or stress and anger management. School social workers may also provide education to other school personnel on similar topics to help them understand and assist their students.
Helping students and families obtain needed services from the community is a vital responsibility of an elementary school social worker. The school social worker helps identify these needs and provides information and referrals to students and families as necessary. This may include providing information about local food pantries, assisting with social services benefits, providing referrals to domestic violence shelters or coordinating services with child protective agencies.

Judgment Day: My Years with Ayn Rand is a 1989 memoir by psychologist Nathaniel Branden that focuses on his relationship with his former mentor and lover, Ayn Rand. Branden released a revised version, retitled as My Years with Ayn Rand, in 1999.

Background
Nathaniel Branden met Ayn Rand in 1950 and was her close associate for 18 years. He and his wife, Barbara Branden, were leading figures in the Objectivist movement based on Rand's philosophy of Objectivism, and they operated the Nathaniel Branden Institute to promote Objectivism. In 1954, Rand began an extramarital affair with Nathaniel Branden. The breakdown of Rand's relationship with Nathaniel Branden in 1968 coincided with the closure of the Nathaniel Branden Institute and the expulsion of both Nathaniel and Barbara Branden from Rand's circle. In 1986, Barbara Branden published The Passion of Ayn Rand, a biography of Rand that made the first public revelation of the affair between Rand and Nathaniel Branden.

Reception
In a review for The New York Times, Susan Brownmiller said the memoir was "an embarrassing venture" that included "a massive dose of psychobabble". In a review for National Review, Joseph Sobran described Branden as having "a layer of California psychobabble" and said, "At times he is rough on himself, but not nearly rough enough." A review in The Blade of Toledo said the book offered "interesting glimpses of Ayn Rand and her life", but also said, "It is noticeable that in most situations Branden emerges on the side of right, or at least lesser evil."

Liberty magazine editor R. W. Bradford called the book a "valuable work" that "provides hitherto unpublished details" about Branden's relationship with Rand, but said it provided an "unflattering self-portrait" of Branden that made Bradford more sympathetic towards Rand. He also complained that Branden's discussions of his former associates in the Objectivist movement sometimes showed "cruelty" and "contempt" toward them.

The book was also reviewed in such publications as the Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, Chronicles, and Kirkus Reviews.

Revised edition
In the 1999 revised edition, Branden says he updated the book both to add and remove material, as well as to correct "factual errors" and "unintended and misleading implications" from the first edition. He also hoped "to present a more balanced portrait of certain people with whom my relationships were at times adversarial."

Glee Fierce: Beyonce Tapped for Fox Series
By Singersroom|2016-01-01T22:44:00-04:00July 13th, 2009|Categories: News, R&B News|Tags: beyonce|0 Comments
Beyonce's hit record "Singles Ladies (Put A Ring On It)" has been tapped for the Fall season premiere of 'Glee'. Producers of the forthcoming series are said to be hopeful that "Single Ladies" will garner buzz. According to E!, the song will be used as Kurt Hummel (Chris Colfer) is caught by his dad (Mike O'Malley) dancing in a leotard to "Single Ladies" with two female friends. To try to cover up his less-than-masculine performance, Kurt ends up convincing his father that he's the high school football team's newest kicker. Kurt then lands the position and becomes the school hero when he helps the team break its losing streak by incorporating "Single Ladies" into one of their plays. Set to premiere on Fox September 30, the 'Single Ladies' tinged 'Glee' culminates with Kurt coming out to his father. In the end, Dad says he always knew and that he loves him no matter what. Glee is also due to feature Hip Hop recording star Eve.

Even though its widely accpeted in the SEO community that flash based websites are not search engine friendly, this information isn't universally known, let alone properly understood. A recent discussion on this topic convinced me that this subject was worth revisiting.
Put simply, the way search engines work is that when they get hip to your site (usually via a URL from another site they're already indexing) they will index your site. The indexing process involves the scanning the content of your site (called "crawling") and then associating the text content and meta data to a relational database. This is how search engines decide what your site is about and how to include it in their search directories.
The important distinction here is text. Search engine "bots" can't read images, let alone text trapped in images.
As FLASH content is image and animation based, its content is almost completely invisible to search engines. Its fine to use flash for media players and cool effects, but its a very bad idea to build the site entirely in flash. While accessibility is one thing (mobile devices, disabled users, etc can't display/understand flash), not even showing up in search engines is a whole other issue.
Phaseous Phact: If you want your website to show up in search engines when users search for your proucts and services (not just your company name ur URL), do not build your entire website in flash.

Rockies Come Calling On Cordero
By Tim Dierkes | March 31, 2007 at 9:55am CDT
The Denver Post reports that the Rockies expressed interest in Washington Nationals' closer Chad Cordero. The Nationals gave the Rockies the same answer they give everyone that comes calling on Cordero: he's not available.
Is March 31st too early to talk about a trading deadline that is four months away? If The Nationals are smart, they will hang onto Cordero until they have the maximum amount of leverage, and that's in July. General manager Jim Bowden proved last year in trade discussions regarding Alfonso Soriano that he isn't going to make a deal that he doesn't feel gets the proper return, so when July comes around, other general managers will have to factor that into their offers.
Having said that, the Nationals would be foolish not to trade Cordero at some point this season. An elite closer is a luxury a 100-loss team can not afford.
Tom Goyne is the author of Balls, Sticks, & Stuff, a Phillies-centric site, and maintains the Phloggers' Pheeds page, a source for the latest commentary from around the "phlogosphere".
Chad Cordero Colorado Rockies Washington Nationals
A's Interest in Kim Wanes
The Rockies have been shopping Byung-Hyun Kim with little success and earlier in the week, it's likely that the Oakland A's can be crossed off the list of possible trade partners. Oakland had been hoping to solidify the fifth starter's slot and Joe Kennedy turned in a nice performance on Tuesday.
Kennedy struck out 9 and allowed only one walk and four hits in five innings. Despite the strong performance however, Kennedy's ERA for the spring stands at 14.11, so don't be surprised if the A's feel the need to start browsing the pitching aisles again.

Phillies Non-Trade Rumors, Vol. III
The Phillies bullpen has pitched better as of late, but according to assistant general manager Ruben Amaro, Jr., someone it appears general manager Pat Gillick relies on quite heavily, that isn't stopping them from looking at ways to improve the situation.
But at the same time, he also reported that nothing is about to transpire. "We continue to talk to clubs and we'll look for possibilities, but right now we don't see anything imminent." With both Freddy Garcia and Jon Lieber on the disabled list (Garcia could come off the list to pitch on April 7th or 8th), there is little wiggle room for a trade.
Curtis Granderson Interview
Tigers center fielder Curtis Granderson was kind enough to answer a few questions for MLBTradeRumors.com. He seems like a smart guy; I was impressed by the content and honesty of his answers. I certainly wouldn't mind seeing him in a Cubs uniform ten years from now.
Curtis writes an MLBlog and has a MySpace page as well. On to the Q&A:
When did you first realize that you might one day play in the Major Leagues?
Honestly the first time was when I got called up in 2004 after our final game in AA Erie. Up until that point, I thought about and hoped I would be able to, but never thought I would get a chance to do it so fast.
You grew up near Chicago. What would it be like for you to play for the Cubs or White Sox one day?
For me it would be a little rough to play for one of the Chicago teams, because I know so many people there. A lot of the people that I know there are also big fans of one or both of those teams, and would try to get a lot of information out of me. I'm not sure if I would want to play there, but towards the end of my career I could see it possibly. I know I will always have a house in Chicago, so you can never discount anything.
Do you have any lineup preference? Do you take a different approach leading off than if you are hitting in another spot?
Honestly my favorite spot to hit is the second spot, but I haven't done that in almost two years. The second spot gives you a lot of freedom especially if your leadoff hitter gets on. The second hitter can move a runner over by bunting, hit and run, or getting a hit through the hole at 1 st base. In the leadoff spot my approach really only changes in the leadoff spot later in the game when our team really needs me to get on base. I have to try my best to get on base any way possible. That is really the only time, and when I lead the game off, I'm not trying to draw a walk, I'm not trying to see pitches, I'm trying to get a hit and get on base.
I've read that you're trying a new batting stance. How is that going so far? Do you think you'll stick with it?
The new stance is very simple. All we (Lloyd McClendon and I) did was try to eliminate a lot of wasted movement before I swing at the baseball. Hopefully this will make me quicker to the ball and allow for easy correction if something wrong starts happening over a period of time. It has worked out pretty well for the most part this spring, but it is only spring training. Pitchers aren't at 100 percent yet, so when the season starts and we get a month into it, we will see how it is. I like it right now though.
Are there any players on the club who serve as mentors for you?
I'm not sure if there is one particular mentor for me on this team because a lot of people have been teaching me different things since I made my debut in 2004. Nate Robertson and Vance Wilson have taught me different things about the Players Union. Craig Monroe, Gary Sheffield, and Marcus Thames are teaching me different things about hitting situations. Andy Van Slyke has taught me a lot about baserunning and also playing the outfield. Kenny Rogers teaches me different things about how opposing pitchers might pitch me. So you can see that everyone has been taking a role in trying to develop and build me into a better player.
Curtis Granderson Detroit Tigers Interviews
Tigers Sign Carlos Guillen
By Tim Dierkes | March 30, 2007 at 2:49pm CDT
The Tigers signed shortstop Carlos Guillen for four years and $48MM, starting in 2008. An excellent bargain, and $8MM less than MLBTR readers guessed.
This despite the huge discount he's giving them in 2007 ($5MM salary). Guillen must really love Detroit. Hopefully the Tigers keep him at short most of the time for the length of the deal, but at $12MM annually it's not the end of the world if they don't.
Carlos Guillen Detroit Tigers
The Pudge Option
In today's column, John Lowe of the Detroit Free Press names the many milestones Tigers catcher Ivan Rodriguez is approaching. Lowe mentions at the end of his column:
"Right now, it seems automatic that the club will exercise the option and have him catch next season — and maybe into the season after that, when he could be passing Fisk for the most games caught all-time."
That is an interesting statement as Rodriguez's option for 2008 is probably not a no-brainer. It's for a hefty $13MM. But it should be noted that it includes a $3MM buyout, so the question is whether he's worth $10MM to the Tigers. PECOTA says $8.125MM, but might not fully value his defense and intangibles.
Some other catchers could be available after this season: Jorge Posada, Paul Lo Duca, Michael Barrett, and Jason Kendall. Since all would require at least a two-year deal, I think Pudge's 2008 option should be exercised. As far as keeping him in 2009 as well…only for the right price (less than $10MM).
Detroit Tigers Ivan Rodriguez
Carlos Guillen Doesn't Change Tune
Back in February, I praised Carlos Guillen as the rare marquee free agent who refused to impose a deadline for his next contract. However, Guillen has since changed that stance.
The Tiger shortstop said yesterday that he would not negotiate a contract after the season starts. He does wish to stay in Detroit, and talks are ongoing.
The general feeling of MLBTR readers when last surveyed was that Guillen will land a four-year, $56MM contract. If he remains mostly at shortstop, that's a bargain.
UPDATE: We're back where we started – The Detroit News reports that Guillen will negotiate into the season as long as it's not a distraction. Tom Gage learned that there has not been a recent offer from the Tigers.
Rockies Offer Kim To Orioles
Ken Rosenthal's recent column is chock full o' rumors as usual. The highlights:
The Rockies offered Byung-Hyun Kim to the Orioles for reliever Todd Williams but were turned down. The O's may yet work out a deal with the Mets for Williams. Kim, meanwhile, may end up a bargain for some team if the price is that low. Really, he's better than most teams' fifth starters.
Rosenthal agrees with most that Carlos Zambrano will sign with the Cubs by Opening Day. However, a couple of other big-name free-agent starters to be probably will hit the market. Jason Jennings and Jake Westbrook are two of the younger members of the '08 free agent starter class. Mark Buehrle, Joe Kennedy, Kyle Lohse, and Kim will all be under 30 as well.
Baltimore Orioles Byung-Hyun Kim Chicago Cubs Colorado Rockies Todd Williams
Cards Looking To Trade Rincon
About a week ago, Joe Strauss reported that the Cardinals might use their lefty reliever surplus to acquire Jorge Julio. That option is off the table, but Walt Jocketty is still looking to dispatch a southpaw. Strauss has confirmed that Ricardo Rincon is the player he'd like to move.
The Cards would like to ditch Rincon's $1.45MM salary. He pitched in the WBC last year and but was on the operating table for shoulder and elbow issues by May. He's said to be fully recovered and could bounce back as a useful LOOGY.
Ricardo Rincon St. Louis Cardinals
Phils Make Offer for Rosario
From Ken Rosenthal's latest:
The Phillies are one of three clubs that have made trade offers for Blue Jays right-hander Francisco Rosario, who is out of minor-league options.
Rosario has very little major league experience, just 23 innings with Toronto last year, but put up some very good numbers in the International League before that and has had a very good spring in Dunedin.
Outside of inexperience and a checkered health history, Rosario has the type of stuff the Phillies could use in their bullpen right now. His fastball reaches 96 and misses bats, something even good pitchers in the Phillies pen don't do a lot.
It might be worth the low-level prospect the Jays would want.

H.P. Acthar Gel a Cost-Effective Option for Managing MS Relapses, Study Reports
by Katie McCallum | July 7, 2016
A recent study analyzing the healthcare resource use and cost of H.P. Acthar Gel, an injectable drug used to manage multiple sclerosis (MS) relapse, demonstrated that the therapy is a viable alternative to plasmapheresis (PMP) and intravenous immunoglobin (IVIG).
Annual direct healthcare costs encountered by MS patients in the U.S. are, on average, $24,000 higher than those without MS. It has also been suggested that relapses account for a large portion of these expenses. This is further complicated by the frequency of relapse in the MS population, with more than eight in every 10 patients experiencing relapses.
Researchers at University of Washington conducted a retrospective observational study to assess the healthcare use and cost of Acthar in treating MS relapse by reviewing healthcare claims data from the Truven Health Analytics MarketScan Commerical Claims and Encounters Database over a one- and two-year period. The study, "Health Care Costs and Resource Utilization in Multiple Sclerosis Relapse Patients," was published in the journal Advances in Therapy and supported by a grant from Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals, the gel's developer.
H.P. Acthar Gel is a repository corticotropin injection (RCI) that was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1978 to treat 19 indications. For patients with MS, Acthar is used to treat acute symptoms in those with frequent and recurring relapse.
The observational study, led by Ryan Hansen, PharmD, PhD, adjunct research assistant professor of Pharmacy and Health Services at Washington, revealed that, within a commercially insured U.S. population, management of MS relapse using Acthar reduced hospitalization frequency, outpatient services, and both inpatient and outpatient costs compared to PMP and IVIG therapies. Specifically, Acthar use reduced inpatient costs by $15,000 and outpatient costs by as much as $54,000 over the one-year period analyzed. These costs were further reduced when data was examined over a two-year period.
Overall data, however, also demonstrated that total patient costs were similar regardless of whether Acthar, PMP, or IVIG was used to manage MS relapse. This is because patient prescription medication costs were higher in those being treated with Acthar. But, the researchers said, these increased expenses were counterbalanced by the decrease in both inpatient and outpatient costs that resulted from using the therapy.
"Managing relapses is a central concern for the overall management of MS, yet there are few studies that compare these three treatment options for multiple relapses. Data such as this from real-life settings can help guide decision making among health care professionals," Dr. Hansen said in a press release.
Researchers concluded that "Acthar may be a useful treatment option compared to PMP/IVIG for patients with MS experiencing multiple relapses," but also noted limitations to their study, including a small patient population.
Katie McCallum Katie McCallum is a PhD candidate at University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston in the Microbiology and Molecular Genetics program. While at the bench, her research is primarily focused on the basic biology governing host-microbial interactions. Katie's research interests extend far beyond the scope of medical microbiology. Her exposure to the enormity of collaborative effort and innovative research that exists in the Texas Medical Center has fostered her interest in science communication and science outreach.

Former U.S. Attorney for D.C. and chief counsel to the Senate Rules Committee Joe diGenova stated on WMAL radio on Friday that the memos written by then-FBI Director James Comey about his conversations with President Donald Trump early in 2017 reveal a "tortured and troubled mind," a man who "committed a crime" and who "should go to prison."
DiGenova, a long-time attorney dealing with white-collar crime and congressional investigations, also said that the memos reminded him of those written by Nazi war criminals, who detailed their illegal actions in documents and then saw those same documents used against them during the Nuremberg trials.
DiGenova added that the Comey memos further confirm that top people in the Justice Department (DOJ), the FBI, and the Obama administration were involved in "a brazen plot to exonerate Hillary Clinton, and then if she lost the election, to frame Donald Trump."
During the April 20 interview on WMAL's "Mornings on the Mall," co-host Mary Walter talked about the DOJ Inspector General's criminal referral of former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, who made false statements, "lacked candor," on four occasions when being interviewed by FBI officials. Was this surprising to you? she asked diGenova.
"It's not a surprise and here's the reason why," said diGenova. "What you are watching is the Department of Justice clumsily get back to a rule of law with one standard, instead of the two standards that were applied during the Obama administration."
"The referral of Mr. McCabe for possible prosecution … is an example of the department trying to figure out a way to restore its credibility and the confidence of the American people in a very broken department that was ruined by Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder, and a bunch of other people at the top and, of course, James Comey," said diGenova.
"So, this is all about if you're going to charge [former Trump adviser] Michael Flynn, you have to charge Mr. McCabe," he said. "It's real simple stuff. And if McCabe isn't charged, I don't care if it's a Republican U.S. attorney or not, these guys are going to pay a price. It's too bad. This isn't retributive justice or vengeance. This is the rule of law. This is what it looks like."
He continued, "And for the Democrats who keep saying 'no there there,' like that idiot Nancy Pelosi yesterday, who says the memos confirm everything she's ever said – God help us, what an idiot!"
Given what the memos reveal about why Comey spoke with Trump, diGenova said, "It shows that there was, in fact, a plot, a brazen plot to exonerate Hillary Clinton, and then if she lost the election, to frame Donald Trump. Because what they were doing with the [salacious Russia] dossier was dirtying-up the president so that when the [Christopher] Steele dossier became part of the FISA warrant process, they could use it in the application of public pressure to get a special prosecutor."
Asked to comment further on the Comey memos, diGenova said, "It's a veritable cornucopia of revelations of a very, very tortured and troubled mind. I urge people to print out the 16 pages – they're available everywhere on the Internet – and read them."
"What you see is a man – I was saying to Victoria [Toensing], my wife, this morning, as I read them, I thought of the Nazis who kept detailed records of the exterminations and then they were used in the war crimes against them," said diGenova. "This is the same thing. These are the Nazi war crime memos done by an American government official."
"They are a detailed description of how to violate the law, subvert the Constitution, and frame an incoming president of the United States," he said. "They are filled with arrogance, and I must say, the writings of what I consider to be a very disturbed mind."
DiGenova was also critical of Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who wrote the memo to Trump advising that Comey be fired and who then appointed Robert Mueller to investigate Trump.
"Rod Rosenstein, when all is said and done, will go down in history as an absolute coward for having appointed Robert Mueller," said diGenova.
"Go back and look at this now, and you see that nothing, nothing has been discovered about collusion," said diGenova. "[For Rosenstein] to sit there and not tell the president of the United States a long, long, long time ago that he had no [legal] exposure is absolutely despicable by Rosenstein."
"And when this is over – when this is over!" he said, "[Attorney General] Jeff Sessions should fire Mr. Rosenstein ipso facto, as fast as possible."
WMAL co-host Vince Coglianese then asked about these FBI and DOJ officials who are now criticizing each other in public and claiming that other people are not telling the truth, and whether it is all spinning out of control.
"It is, the brazen plot is unraveling," said diGenova. "It's also like rats swimming to a sinking ship. These are people who are fundamentally dishonest people. When you watch James Comey on television, you are watching the unraveling of a bad mind. You're watching a man who engaged in conspiracies, who corruptly tried to frame people, who lied to his superiors, who conspired to leak information."
He continued, "And, when you look at the 16 pages that were released of these memos, you will see that huge portions are blacked out. Now why is that? It's because the information was determined to be highly classified. That means when James Comey gave those memos, took them out of his house and gave them to the professor at Columbia, Mr. Daniel Richman, he committed a crime."


Just nine complaints were made against the borough council governing Uttoxeter and Burton in the last year.
The office of the local government ombudsman, which deals with complaints levelled against councils, has published its annual report.
It showed East Staffordshire Borough Council performed favourably in terms of the number of complaints made about it.
The council was ranked in the top 25 per cent for the whole country - and none of the complaints were upheld under independent scrutiny.
Council leader Richard Grosvenor said: "I am delighted to receive the news from the local government ombudsman that the council has received such a low number of complaints.
"Not only were the number of complaints received very small, when compared to the national average, but less than 50 per cent of complaints received by heads of service progressed to chief executive level, meaning that complainants were no longer dissatisfied.
"None of the complaints that progressed to the ombudsman were upheld. We have continuously been improving our services and becoming a more efficient and well-run council."


Stegall, you are a one-trick pony. Yep, blame it on the welfare state. How about the modern industrial complex and the dehumanizing effects of corporate capitalism? There's more going on in London than the right's old bogey "socialism". I find simplistic one-sided crap of this sort tiring. Don't you have government work to attend to?
That was written by a leftist/marxist at Spiked Magazine. I just linked it without further comment.
Thus we have the neoliberal technocratic elite, enjoying the benefits of a profiteering globalization and a therapeutic multiculturalism, and the dependent masses, crushed beneath the wheel of capitalism and so long without any kind of real economic sovereignty or sustainable community that organizing themselves around a crummy dole-enabled consumerism seems pretty damn obvious. Real work is often all but entirely absent in many inner-city communities, and where it does exist it's often rendered pointless, wholly dependent upon the good graces of distant bankers and rapidly depleting social capital. Not that this makes engaging in criminal violence and destruction either justified or excusable, but when both Tocqueville and Marx predicted certain similar outcomes, you've really got to wonder.
And unfortunately, that same zapping has occurred throughout American society where the welfare system is part and parcel of a greater beast fragmenting men into a homogeneous american whole.
Thanks Russell for getting why I posted the link!
What is the welfare-police state if not corporate capitalism taken to the nth degree?
I would like to think the solutions are simple: Create places worth caring about, and jobs worth doing. However, my personal experience fills me with despair, and makes me wonder if such a course is even possible at this point. To me, the place where I grew up–West Virginia–is certainly worth caring about. Yet some of the people I grew up with apparently don't feel the same way. In fact, they seem to have no problem participating in the destruction of the state's soil, water, air, vistas, and most importantly–its people. Worse yet, this destruction is at the behest, and for the benefit of, outside corporations and entities who see the state's resources and people as nothing more than numbers on a balance sheet.
As elderly Catholic ladies often say, Bingo. Today's Leviathan is comprised of both the corporate and the welfare "states," both of which are indispensable to the operation of the Machine.
Seems to me that we're witnessing a self-fulfilling prophesy in the UK. Since the economy finds able-bodied men with no opportunity or inclination to sit behind a desk useless and antisocial the rioters have fulfilled those expectations. What would an economy look like in the modern world that is structured by the needs and abilities of people and not merely by the imperatives of capital?
Cheer up. Movement back towards the light began years ago. Our seminaries and young priests are good, and since it has always been a spiritual problem manifesting itself, we can in turn expect similar to the seminaries to manifest themselves in society as a whole. Not that we will see much visible progress in our lifetime, but it will come.
What would an economy look like in the modern world that is structured by the needs and abilities of people and not merely by the imperatives of capital?
Excellent question, CR. One things for sure–it almost certainly wouldn't look like Oxford Circus, with nothing but (now burned out and looted) high-end chain stores as far as the eye can see.
The anticipated end result of excessive expectations without any responsibilities embedded in an over-permissive suicidal society. Poor England.
I think these the cause of these riots is far more psychological, as opposed to political. The rioters are predominately young males, and to me the vandalism and looting seems to be a sort of juvenile one-upmanship typical of sporting riots and extreme dares, the modern equivalents of the "right of of passage" initiation into manhood seen in many ancient cultures.
While they're likely numerous other circumstances that triggered these events, I don't think we should see them in light of class struggle, or even as the result of the welfare state until a more diverse population of rioters exist.
The least you could do , Farmer Stegall Esq., when quoting leftists in a Conservative context is to employ the Ironomotican, where the quotation marks are attended by a happy face with a smirk. After all, it is a bit of messy business when liberals actually agree with conservatives on something.
I think this congruence of thinking may become more frequent because it will not be hard for leftys or rightys to agree that their Social Construct is SNAFU.
Just like the Sarcasm tags that some sue.
Thus the problem, as I see it: the state as it exists aids and abets this sort of cultural destruction, and yet there seem to be no stateless solutions — even thinking rather hypothetically — to avoid the same outcome. I too despair of practical solutions, but I'm not even sure I can identify a genuinely sound theoretical one.
As a native of West Virginia for one day and a close neighbor to it for 25 years, I'm glad to discover that somebody still cares about it.
Well, here's another article from lefty David Harvey, which adds I think some proper breadth to the discussion as to what is really going on in London.
Oh, and forgive me Mr Stegall for assuming you wrote the piece (although no doubt you agree wholeheartedly with its contents), alas, I was hastily reading it on my iPhone (insert appropriate emoticon here) and missed that distinction.
Still, I think it presents a woefully limited perspective.
Looting and rioting (and worse) go back a long way. Nothing new under the sun about such behavior, nor anything spcifically modern about them.

40 Year Ago Today: George Strait Releases "Amarillo By Morning"
When enumerating the greatest country songs of all time, it's without a doubt that "Amarillo By Morning" must be near the top. And like all of the greatest country songs and performances, the song hasn't become exposed or dated as time has gone on. "Amarillo By Morning" has only grown better and more important over time.
On January 14th, 1983, George Strait released the song as the third single from his second album Strait from the Heart. The album had already birth's Strait's first ever #1 song in "Fool Hearted Memory," and he would score another #1 with the fourth single from the album "A Fire I Can't Put Out." "Amarillo By Morning" was a hit as well, but surprisingly, it wasn't one of Strait's record number of #1s. It stalled at #4.
Though "Amarillo By Morning" is synonymous with George Strait, he wasn't the first to record it. And like many of his biggest hits, Strait didn't write it either. Terry Stafford was a singer and songwriter who grew up and lived in Amarillo, and had the huge hit in 1964 with the Elvis-inspired "Suspicion." He got the idea for the song after performing at a rodeo in San Antonio with his band, and then driving back to his home in Amarillo afterwards.
"Amarillo By Morning" drew further inspiration from another and more unlikely place: a FedEx commercial. At the time, the parcel carrier was bragging how it could "get your package to places like Amarillo by the next morning." At the time, the Texas panhandle town was synonymous with the middle of nowhere for many people in America (and it still is for many). Being from Amarillo, it piqued Terry Stafford's ear.
Simultaneously, Terry Stafford also happened to be writing a movie score with fellow songwriter Paul Fraser. When Stafford got the idea for "Amarillo By Morning," he called Fraser up, and the two agreed they'd try to write the song together the next morning. But feeling inspired by the idea, Paul Fraser sat down at his kitchen table that night, and basically wrote out "Amarillo By Morning" in about an hour. The two songwriters met the next morning, and the song was finalized.
Recording the song in 1973 at Jack Clement's Recording Spa in Nashville, Terry Stafford's version took on a decidedly pop version of country, with a lush arrangement complete with xylophone and chorus singers—far from the rugged and Western version George Strait would record nearly a decade later. Terry Stafford's version didn't do terrible. It peaked at #31 on the Billboard country chart, which showed the song's promise, but didn't spoil it as something someone else could record later.
Before George Strait went into the studio with the song, Chris LeDoux also covered "Amarillo By Morning" in 1975 as he was making big strides on the rodeo circuit as an independent artist. But it's was George Strait's decidedly neotraditional version that became the definitive one, with the fiddle start off and the mournful fiddle ending, and George Strait communicating the lonesomeness and despondency the song looks to capture perfectly.
"They took my saddle in Houston, broke my leg in Santa Fe. Lost my wife and a girlfriend somewhere along the way. Well, I'll be looking for eight when they pull that gate. And I hope that judge ain't blind. Amarillo by morning, Amarillo's on my mind…"
Like many of the greatest songs in country music, it's not just what George Strait sings. It's the emotion that the song evokes—how it inspires a mood unlike anything else where you can almost feel exactly what that lonesome cowboy must have felt as he was driving through the night. The inspiration for "Amarillo By Morning" may have been a bit matter-of-fact, but that's not how the song comes across.
Many love to chide George Strait for not writing many of his signature songs, but "Amarillo By Morning" in many ways proves Strait's worth. Even if he didn't write 'em, he sure could pick 'em, and as he was just starting his career as an artist who wanted to re-instill the roots back into country music, "Amarillo By Morning" was the perfect composition for him to hit out of the park.
Even though "Amarillo By Morning" never hit #1, the momentum of the song only grew over time. It's Strait's only single from the 80s to be certified Double Platinum. On streaming services, it's either Strait's 1st or 2nd most streamed song. And 40 years after it was released, "Amarillo By Morning" is as relevant and resonant as it ever was. That's how you know you've got a great song—when it withstands the test of time.

Q: How do I make Internet Explorer Open Invisibly in VB6? Doing like so:
Shell ("C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe -embedding http://www.websiteurl.com")
Doesn't work how I need it as I essentially need it to be able to redirect and prompt a user to download a file.  Any ideas?

A: Internet Explorer exposes a COM accessible interface you can use. If you really have to. I'd recommend against it - its comparatively slow, error-prone, cumbersome and resource-intensive.
What solves your problem more elegantly is using WinHTTPRequest. In your Project, reference "Microsoft WinHTTP Services, version 5.1", and then go on like this:
Dim HttpRequest As New WinHttp.WinHttpRequest
Dim TargetUrl As String
Dim TargetFile As String
Dim FileNum As Integer

TargetFile = "C:\foo.doc"

TargetUrl = "http://www.websiteurl.com"
HttpRequest.Open Method:="GET", Url:=TargetUrl, Async:=False
HttpRequest.Send

If HttpRequest.Status = 302 Then

  TargetUrl = HttpRequest.GetResponseHeader("Location")
  HttpRequest.Open Method:="GET", Url:=TargetUrl, Async:=False
  HttpRequest.Send

  If HttpRequest.Status = "200" Then

    FileNum = FreeFile
    Open TargetFile For Binary As #FileNum
    Put #FileNum, 1, HttpRequest.ResponseBody
    Close FileNum

    Debug.Print "Successfully witten " & TargetFile
  Else
    Debug.Print "Download failed. Received HTTP status: " & HttpRequest.Status
  End If
Else
  Debug.Print "Expected Redirect. Received HTTP status: " & HttpRequest.Status
End If

Hard-coding "C:\foo.doc" does of course not make much sense. I'd use the file name the server supplies in the response headers ("Content-Type" or "Content-Disposition", depending on what you expect).

A: There are a couple of things you could do.

*

*Use an external program like wget to get the file instead of IE.  You can get wget for free at http://www.cygwin.com with the cygnus tools.  It's GPL, so just watch out if you have a commercial product.

*Write a little .NET program that uses the HttpWebRequest class to get the file and shell out to that program instead of IE.  I don't think you're going to have a lot of luck shelling out to IE itself.  Sounds like a, to paraphrase Steve Jobs, "bag of hurt".

A: If all you are trying to do is download a file, you can use URLDownloadToFile.

A: The Internet Explorer interface is exposed to ActiveX via the WebBrowser control (contained in %systemroot%\system32\shlwapi.dll).  While it may not be very elegant, you could easily place the control somewhere off the visible area of the form.
The control is very simple to use.

A: Your best bet is creating separate download application using some .NET http object in order to download the file.
I'd recommend WebClient.
If you really gotta stick to VB6, I'm sure you can use some basic socket work in order to download the file directly.

A: Another option besides the URLDownloadToFile API call suggested by Glomek is to use the AsyncRead method built into VB6.

Le Pop surréalisme est un mouvement artistique né à la fin du  en Californie. Issu du lowbrow il s'en distingue par la réintégration de références aux peintres anciens et par l'utilisation de techniques propre aux beaux-arts.

Histoire
Après la deuxième guerre mondiale alors que le pop art se développe sur la Côte ouest des États-Unis, des artistes californiens rejetant eux aussi les arts classiques s'inspirent de tout ce qui les entoure et peignent sur tout type de support. Avec leur chef de file Robert Williams, ils créent un art figuratif, dénonciateur des dérives sociétales dont l'esthétisme est dominé par la couleur, le trash et la quasi-absence d'ombrage.

La génération suivante opère un tournant en réintégrant les écoles des Beaux-Arts étudier les maîtres anciens. Parmi ces écoles l'Art Center College of Design de Pasadena où étudie Mark Ryden a joué un rôle important dans la formation de ces nouveaux artistes.

Le terme Pop surréalisme est utilisé pour la première fois par Kenny Scharf en 1996 : « Le Surréalisme renvoie à la notion de l'inconscient, et je pense que mon travail tourne autour de l'inconscient. Les images que je peins proviennent de mon inconscient, or mon inconscient est rempli d'une imagerie Pop. En d'autres termes, mon inconscient est Pop, et par conséquent, mon art s'apparente à du Pop Surréalisme ».

Deux ans plus tard, en 1998, la Peter Mendenhall Gallery de Pasadena organise la première exposition, The meat show, qui regroupe des œuvres de Mark Ryden sur le thème de la déconnexion entre la nourriture et l'animal dont elle provient. Avec son épouse Marion Peck, ils forment le couple emblématique du mouvement.

Le succès est immédiat et très vite le mouvement dépasse ses frontières américaines. De jeunes artistes à travers le monde sont séduits par son esthétisme qui redonne ses lettres de noblesse à la figuration narrative. Ils étendent leur création à d'autres techniques tel que Ray Caesar qui utilise le logiciel Autodesk Maya ou encore Nicoletta Ceccoli en participant à la création de l'animé Jack et la Mécanique du cœur.

Pour les plus jeunes nés à la fin du , l'imagerie de la culture de masse, le lowbrow sont devenus anciens. Ils s'en inspirent y ajoutant encore d'autres références.

Esthétisme
Les artistes Pop surréalistes utilisent les songes et l'imaginaire contemporain connus par la culture de masse pour créer un monde qui fait réfléchir sur lui-même. Les scènes ainsi créées, alors qu'elles peuvent paraître simplistes au premier regard, sont en réalité alarmantes.

L'iconographie dominante est liée au monde de l'enfance. Elle est à mettre en relation avec l'émergence dans les années soixante-dix d'une société plus sensible et plus humaine.

Q: correct datatype for storing negative numbers I have to save the the value -1. Is for it more correct to use a data type of tinyint(1) or tinyint(2) and why?
I know that I can also store with tinyint tinyint (1) many more digits, but I want to know what you use in my case.

A: You may use DECIMAL which would be probably the best datatype for storing negative numbers.

Standard SQL requires that DECIMAL(5,2) be able to store any value
  with five digits and two decimals, so values that can be stored in the
  salary column range from -999.99 to 999.99

Although in your case you may use TINYINT(1) as  it takes 1 byte of storage and its range is -128 to 127.
On a side note:
You may also like to know what is the difference between TinyInt(1) and TinyInt(2)

M indicates the maximum display width for integer types. The maximum
  display width is 255. Display width is unrelated to the range of
  values a type can contain, as described in Section 11.2, "Numeric
  Types". For floating-point and fixed-point types, M is the total
  number of digits that can be stored.


There's a bit of spring in our step as we anticipate the Attitudes & Attire Luncheon and Fashion Show this Friday. The color blue often symbolizes confidence and faith and with the Tory Burch Crescent Guipure Boatneck dress the sky is truly the limit. Other event-ready picks are Pointy-Toe Pumps from Jimmy Choo, a classic satchel from Saint Laurent, and a Balenciaga bracelet. For attitude, finish your look with Tom Ford's Celia Oversized Butterfly Glasses.

Watch: PENTAGON's Hui, ASTRO's MJ, And More Perform As A Trot Group For 1st Time On "Favorite Entertainment"
by S. Cho
On the latest episode of MBC's trot audition program "Favorite Entertainment," the show's new five-member boy group began promoting together!
The August 1 broadcast of "Favorite Entertainment" followed the group as they prepared for their very first performance, starting with ASTRO's MJ, PENTAGON's Hui, and Ock Jin Wook practicing together. Although MJ missed his cue because he was busy passionately shouting along to the song, their dance instructor applauded his energy, commenting, ""There's something you really understand perfectly. You precisely understand the feeling [of trot]."
After an exhausting practice, the trio sat down to eat. Pulling out a chicken breast for his meal, Hui told the other two members, "Eat lots; I have to watch what I eat."
Ock Jin Wook then pointed out to MJ, "But you're an idol too." MJ hilariously responded, "Today, I'm not going to live like an idol. If you eat happily, you don't gain weight."
Later, the five-member trot group set out on their first mission. After practicing for a week, the group performed "Gimme Gimme" by Kim Shin Young's alter ego Second Aunt Kim Davi, "Rokkugo!" by Super Junior-T, and "Come" by Jang Yoon Jung in front of an audience of 30 Koreans and 30 foreigners.
Although they were nervous at the start of their performance, the members gradually began to loosen up and were able to show off their great chemistry. Hui also impressed with his powerful b-boying skills.
After their performance, Jang Yoon Jung told them, "You did well. You did really well today. You've improved so much." She also specifically complimented Hui, saying, "When Hwi Taek [Hui's given name] is on stage, he shines so brightly. He shines brighter than anyone else."
Park Hyung Suk commented, "I made a couple mistakes in the middle, and when I get the choreography wrong, my mind goes blank. However, since I had my fellow members, it was good that we could fill in for one another."
Hui added, "Since it was our first performance, we were nervous, and it wasn't perfect. But I'm thankful that we were able to show what we prepared."
MJ made everyone laugh as he chimed in, "I was satisfied. I thought we tore the stage apart."
