But he’s too slow. The K hits the sun. Oh no! But wait a moment, it turns out that back in the past, the original JLA has done a bit of sleight of <a href="http://www.chasereviews.com" rel="nofollow">www.chase.com</a> hand. It’s not a piece of kryptonite at all. It’s another Green Lantern power ring. So the Supes in the sun pops it on and crushes Solaris into a bloody (okay, not bloody - he’s a freaking sun!) pulp. Then, amid frenzied cheering, he emerges from the sun, makes out with a robot version of Lois Lane, The original Superman from the 20th Century gives chase to the kryptonite fragment lest it kill his future self.

His walk rates were quite low as an Indian, and his swing rates were only slightly below average.

His more patient approach looks like it has worked for now, as he has seen 13% more fastballs this year than last year, as pitchers have chosen to throw strikes instead of hoping that he will chase a breaking ball out <a href="http://www.chasereviews.com" rel="nofollow">www.chase.com</a> of the zone. In summary of his new approach, Franklin Gutierrez is swinging much less, which has resulted in both more walks drawn and more fastballs thrown by the pitcher. When Gutierrez gets nice fastballs in the strike zone, such as the one Kevin Millwood threw him Monday, the results look pretty good, as his game-tying home run did that night.Now, the big question is, can he continue this hot streak? Chances are he won't hit this well all season, and his numbers will creep down, but there's no reason to think that he will suddenly go back to being the hitter he used to be.

Also, found that it works better to open the xls directly within the word mail merge rather than creating an odbc data source for the excel file. Cheers! Great suggestion. Thanks Ontic.

Also delete the JPG logo which in my instance shows up as a blank X box. Then you can merge on the document.

I do know that I can’t seem to get the ranking to export to excel.

Can it's "Ranking" custom field be used in normal JIRA filters? We have a legacy app that we need to track bugs in, and the lack of forced ranking in core JIRA is a real pain. The "paper vs. electronic" debate has bugged me ever since I got involved in agile techniques. We use stickies for speed now, but then bang them into JIRA for tracking. But it would be great, in theory, to use something like Greenhopper to go back and forth between the two mediums :-) So I have a question about Greenhopper (which I’ve been admiring from a distance).
