Yesterday when i was young Various Artists
Yester[Gm]day when I was [C7]young, the taste of life was [Fmaj7]sweet as
rain upon my [Bb]tongue, I teased at life as [Em7]if it were a foolish
[A7]game, the way an evening [Dm]breeze may tease a candle flame.
The thousand dreams I [Gm]dreamed, the splendid things I [C7]planned, I
always built [Fmaj7]alas, on weak and shifting [Bb]sand, I lived by night
and [Em7]shunned the naked light of [A7]day, and only now I [Dm]see how the
years ran away.
Yester[Gm]day when I was [C7]Young, so many drinking [Fmaj7]songs were

and so much pain my [Dm]dazzled eyes refused to see.
I ran so fast that [Gm]time and youth at last ran [C7]out, I never stopped
to [Fmaj7]think what life was all [Bb]about, and every conver[Gm]sation I

Yester[Gm]day the moon was [C7]blue, and every crazy [Fmaj7]day brought

Softbank Said to Plan $2 Billion Bond Issue in Dollars, EurosSarika Gangar
Softbank Corp., the Japanese telecommunications company vying with Dish Network Corp. to acquire Sprint Nextel Corp., is preparing to sell $2 billion of bonds in the U.S. and Europe.
The company may sell seven-year notes denominated in dollars and euros this week, according to a person familiar with the transaction. The bonds may yield 4.5 percent to 4.75 percent.
Softbank began marketing the debt last week with part of the proceeds intended to be used for the Sprint deal, said the person, who asked not to be identified because terms aren't set. The sale is not contingent on the deal's closing.
Should the acquisition fail to close, "there's a lot of potential uses" for the proceeds, Sajod Moradi, a Philadelphia-based credit analyst at Delaware Investments, said in a telephone interview. "They're a pretty solid company and they'll find a good use for that cash."
Billionaire Masayoshi Son's Softbank offered in October to buy a 70 percent stake in Sprint Nextel to enter the U.S. market and create the world's third-biggest mobile-phone services provider. Dish made an unsolicited $25.5 billion cash-and-stock offer for Sprint Nextel on April 15.
The bonds have been rated a provisional Baa3, the lowest level of investment grade, by Moody's Investors Service, the ratings company said in a April 9 statement. The bonds may be graded BB+, the highest speculative level, by Standard & Poor's, the person said.
"There's still a lot of demand for paper on higher-rated, quality companies out there," Moradi said. "This is an opportunity for them to diversify their investor base a little bit."
Deutsche Bank AG is serving as global coordinator for the offering, the person said.

Epilepsy. Parkinson's. Crohn's. Rheumatoid arthritis. Each condition used to carry with it a lengthy sentence of suffering. Today, UCB, a global biopharm company focused on severe diseases that is based in Brussels, Belgium, has developed therapies that mitigate many of the most debilitating aspects of those illnesses.
Continued below...
Of course, there is still much work to be done. UCB not only wants to find more answers, they want to find them quickly. That's why they rely on Waters and a key Waters technology: Hydrogen Deuterium Exchange (HDX). It allows UCB scientists to better understand the binding of molecules to select proteins and therefore optimize molecules for future drugs. Most important, HDX is fast. It's common to set up the experiment one day and have the data 24 hours later.
The right answers in a rapid timeframe allow UCB scientists to accelerate their work in turning today's molecules into tomorrow's medications.

Today, the Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO) expresses strong
support for the "Bipartisan Congressional Trade Priorities Act of 2014",
which was issued by a bipartisan group of leaders from the Senate
Finance and House Ways and Means Committee last week. The bill outlines
Congressional objectives for trade agreements, and lays out the process
for Congressional approval of agreements negotiated by the
The following statement can be attributed to BIO's President and CEO,
Jim Greenwood:
"This legislation would help advance the global goals of our members
significantly by ensuring that trade agreements reflect a high level of
intellectual property rights modeled on U.S. laws, strengthening the
transparency and accountability of drug reimbursement regimes, and
removing unjustified barriers to agricultural biotechnology trade.
"America's innovative biotechnology industry, which includes hundreds of
small companies, is engaged in the business of researching and
developing innovative new medicines and treatments. Our goal is to
ensure that the U.S. biotechnology industry remains the strongest and
most advanced in the world.
"Biotechnology has the potential to be one of the cornerstones of U.S.
global competitiveness in the 21st century if U.S. trade
agreements ensure IP rights and fair play by our trading partners.
Hundreds of thousands of new jobs will depend on this.
"Fortunately, Congressional leaders have recognized this, and we believe
this bill advances these goals, and we call for its swift enactment.
"We look forward to working with the Congress to enact this legislation,
and just as importantly, to ensuring that trade agreements negotiated by
the Administration, such as the TPP and TTIP faithfully reflect these

Effective Program Management
|The aim of the course is to develop a deeper understanding of the best practices and techniques for program management of projects leading to change. This will be achieved through using different workshops and case studies in addition to lectures and exposing the participants to the latest ideas on the topic.
|The workshop is developed for executives and senior managers in IT, telecommunications, finance and other fields.
The first day is ideal for:
Project and Program managers (people delivering projects and programs or supporting people that do)
Senior executives (who direct change) to see the value of portfolio and program management to their organisation
Senior managers who manage the project and programme managers
The second and third days are aimed directly at Project and Program Managers (people delivering projects and programs or supporting people that do)
|The training course mixes theory and discussions of best practices with exercises based on hypothetical but realistic case studies. The training method is designed to be simple enough to be understood by all participants, but deep enough to provoke thorough concentration on the exercises.
The training will help Project and Program Managers and other professionals who lead changes in their organisation to understand the following key aspects:
How to manage changes of programs used within their organisation;
How to effectively manage a portfolio of projects;
How to maximise the benefits derived from those programs.

Spending, mudslinging up in US Senate race
WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — It's the most expensive race in US Senate history the airwaves have been flooded with mudslinging from both sides. Thom Tillis and Kay Hagan are battling it out in the Tarheel State for your vote.
Thursday Speaker Tillis and Senator Hagan both campaigned in Wilmington and both stuck to their traditional stump speeches.
Tillis criticizing Hagan for her ties to President Obama. Hagan hitting Tillis on his record in Raleigh.
Tillis didn't want to talk to reporters but Hagan did. We asked questions though about the campaigns negative turn to both of them.
"Actually our race is getting pretty positive I'll let the other side speak for themselves," Tillis said.
"The fact that Charles and David Koch have attacked me over and over and over again for Thom Tillis is wrong," said Hagan.
Between the two campaigns, and outside groups, more than $100-million has been spent on this race.

When she gets nasty, hire a legal warrior to stop her dumb games.
We are dedicated to fighting for a father's right to remain involved in his children's lives. We know how to prepare the evidence, advise you and present the facts to win in court or negotiation.
Call or e-mail now to schedule an appointment for an office consultation with one of our attorney's about:
- Legal custody
- Joint custody
- Sole custody
- Visitation rights
- Contempt
- Modification
- Child support
- Paternity, or
- Legitimation
Fathers' Rights and Child Custody
Today, Georgia law encourages both parents to be involved in the life of their children.
Unfortunately, for decades mothers have held an inherent advantage in court in matters involving custody rights with children. We have all heard the joke about the elderly South Georgia judge who had just been questioned about his custody ruling in favor of a mother that stated, "Well, I have never seen a bull who could nurse a calf."
This gender bias must be eliminated for our legal system. The attorneys at Daniels & Taylor, P.C., fight every day to eradicate gender bias and to ensure that fathers are given equal consideration in custody disputes. Custody should always be based upon the best interest of the children, not gender bias.
We have helped many fathers obtain legal and physical custody of their children over the years. Attorney Tony A. Taylor, in fact, won sole custody of his young daughter back in the early 70s and he has fought for fathers' rights ever since that time.
WE CAN HELP YOU! Call or e-mail now to schedule an appointment for an office consultation with one of our attorney's about your child custody case.
Fathers' Rights and Visitation
If you are a father who cannot be satisfied with being a weekend dad, we can help! Visitation does not have to be every other weekend, from Friday at 6:00 pm, until Sunday at 6:00 pm. There are many opportunities for additional time with the children when a father does not have sole or even joint custody.
These include, but are not limited to;
- Pick up at school
- Return to school
- Attending school activities
- Attending extracurricular activities (perhaps even serving as a coach)
- Teacher workdays
- Snow days
- Additional weeks in the summer
- Spring and Fall breaks
- Mid-week visits
- First option as child care provider
Every case is unique. The attorneys at Daniels & Taylor, P.C., will evaluate your circumstances and fight for every opportunity to maximize your visitation rights with your children.
From our office in Lawrenceville, our lawyers represent clients in communities throughout Gwinnett County and Walton County, Georgia. Call us at 770-604-1380 or contact us by email to arrange a consultation with one of our experienced Lawrenceville fathers' rights attorneys today.

Neurodevelopmental diseases like schizophrenia are common, complex genetic disorders that affect higher cognitive function, and exact a high burden on individuals and society. The developmental environment has also been shown to increase disease risk, for example intrauterine infection, nutritional deprivation and urban living However, little is known about which genes interact with different environments to influence higher cognitive brain process known to be associated with heritable risk for disease. Thus, the goal of this collaborative US-China study is to leverage China's exceptional naturalistic research opportunities to powerfully examine the effects on higher brain functions of starkly different degrees of rural and urban childhoods resulting from China's unique economic development, and how these may influence genetically controlled higher-cortical functions linked with disease, within its population of relatively limited ancestral diversity.
In Aim 1, we will define, using functional MRI, prefrontal- striatal-hippocampal circuit intermediate phenotypes associated with heritable risk for schizophrenia in a twin study, supplemented by neuroimaging data from patients and siblings. We will also define the effects of differing degrees of childhood urban or rural environments on these intermediate phenotypes in adult individuals, controlling for IQ, socioeconomic status and genetic heterogeneity.
In Aim 2, using a candidate gene and genome-wide strategy, we will examine specific gene-environment interactions based on the brain phenotypes associated with heritable risk for schizophrenia and sensitive to the environment in Aim 1. These associations will be further interrogated in available genome-wide association datasets, and in terms of prefrontal and hippocampal postmortem brain expression profiles across the human lifespan. At the end of the study, we will have defined the influence of childhood rural or urban upbringing on higher brain functions implicated in heritable risk of schizophrenia, and putative genetic influences on these environmental brain effects. This will enhance knowledge about how modifiable aspects of the childhood environment and potentially novel genetic disease mechanisms biases towards risk or resilience for schizophrenia.
Neurodevelopmental disorders like schizophrenia are more prevalent in cities;and with global trends in urbanization, it is clinically important to understad the underlying brain mechanisms of risk and resilience. This project leverages the naturalistic research opportunities in China to address this critical need. We focus on higher cognitive functions known to be associated schizophrenia and with heritable risk for schizophrenia in further defining the roles of the childhood environment and specific risk genes on potentially novel mechanisms of brain circuit dysfunction implicated in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia.

Final Fantasy is one of those epic series that seems to transcend fad or the whims of gamer fascination. Constantly reinventing itself, it's as relevant (or even more so) now than it was in 1987. This, the thirteenth iteration in the main series (there have been numerous spin-off titles as well), has arrived some four years after the release of the previous title.
To describe our breath as baited is like saying space is really big or that it's nice to beat the Aussies in a one-dayer.
The backdrop for Final Fantasy XIII is a world in chaos. The powerful government is deathly afraid of the world below and they're using that fear as an excuse for what amounts to ethnic cleansing. Thrust right into the middle of the conflict, you'll take control of a vast array of characters who find themselves playing a key role in how things play out.
Without ruining too much of the story (which, lets face it, is something you should discover for yourself in any Final Fantasy game), you'll soon form up a band of heroes and begin an epic quest to resolve the situation. That the party you form up resembles the cast of Lost, we assume, is a complete coincidence... (there's even a slightly silly Australian girl!).
Normally we'd talk about the visual presentation of a game a little later, but for Final Fantasy we're going to make an exception: Final Fantasy often sets the benchmark for visual delights and, as this is the first to hit the current generation of consoles, how it looks is something a lot of people are going to want to know about straight away.
Final Fantasy XIII looks unbelievably good. The pre-rendered cutscenes are preposterously gorgeous, of course, and the game-engine sequences aren't a let-down either. This game looks incredible. The art style and its execution is second to none.
The only thing that lets it down is the weightless and slightly quirky way in which most of the characters move around the environment (helped not even a little bit by the twitchy camera and character controls).
The non-interactive story sequences are numerous and lengthy, yet never bore you as they reveal the story or fill in background detail on some random character. If you've got a big TV and want to show people what HD or a next-gen console is all about, there's no better way to go about it. Rumours suggest the 360 is a little less impressive, but, with only PS3 code to test, we were unable to ratify these claims for ourselves.
Gameplay in Final Fantasy XIII revolves around you running your character (which you get no choice about - you play certain characters at certain times and cannot switch them, even in combat) around the map until you encounter an enemy, at which point it switches to combat mode. If you're quick, you can initiate combat mode before the enemies become aware of you (netting you an opening attack before combat-proper begins) but most enemies will spot you far enough out to make this fairly rare.
Combat starts off pretty basic - time fills a bar and, once it's topped off, you perform the actions you've queued up. Actions take different amounts of time to perform (so a powerful area-effect spell might take twice as long as a single attack). They also have different results, so there's a little bit of thinking to be done, but there aren't many moves to choose from and the "auto combat" button is so shiny, it's hard not to hit it.
Target selection is performed by choosing names from a list, which in turn changes which enemy you're targeting. While this makes perfect sense and works well enough, there are occasions when you'll be attempting to target a specific character because of where they're standing, which can be quite hard when your only selection method is a list that doesn't reflect the enemy's actual location.
As you get used to the way things work, however, the system evolves, adding the ability to execute moves before the time bar is completely full (a necessity, as this bar grows longer as your adventure continues). You'll also pick up the ability to change the way your team roles are assigned, summoning, and more. The way the system is gradually expanded is perfectly paced, resulting in a complex and involved combat system you can become an expert in.
Character levelling is handled by spending points earned each in successful battles. The better you do in combat (which generally comes down to killing things faster than the par time), the higher your rating, which in turn leads to more points and better loot.
You then use these points to advance your character's abilities down one of a number of trees in a direction you choose. The interface used for this character expansion is, like many of the game menus, rather confusing, and was clearly designed with aesthetics (rather than usability) in mind. You'll get the hang of it quick enough, but that doesn't stop it being a bit weird.
As you progress through the game, encountering new characters, advancing the story and unlocking more of the game's functionality, your inbuilt guide computer will gain more and more entries. These entries help to explain every facet of the game, including both re-explaining key story elements and actually expanding on the backstory of the world. If you don't mind pausing to read from time to time, this system works really well and helps to flesh out the game's lore in a way only a series of full-length movies could otherwise do.
There are no real towns in Final Fantasy XIII, so commerce is handled by interacting with regularly spaced terminals through which you can buy, sell and save. Quite how these little machines end up in some of these outlandish locations is up for discussion, but they do. You gain access to more retailers through this internet-shopping-like experience as you progress, and the retailers you can access will gain more stock from time to time as well. Fortunately the system clearly indicates when something has changed, so figuring out when you should check back with a retailer relies only on you being awake, rather than having to pay any particular attention.
Initially the maps are very linear, with no options as to how you progress. As you play, however, these areas gradually start to provide you with some light exploration opportunities until ultimately the map opens right up. This will annoy some people to start with but it really is a great way to gradually introduce the levels of complexity present in the gameplay mechanics. By the time the world gets big and scary, you'll have the skills and options with which to tackle it.
The sound in FFXII is, unfortunately, a mixed bag. The voice acting is awesome (even if one of the characters is kind of annoying, it still suits her and is well done), with a great soundtrack with all the epic sweeping scale a Final Fantasy game deserves. The effects are great in the cutscenes but in-game (particularly when just wandering around) they'll occasionally be glaringly awful. Overloud shoes thumping around being an obvious lowlight. Still, overall the package is very solid and frequently spectacular.
Final Fantasy XIII is a fantastical foray into a magical imagination. Ably supported by gorgeous visuals, the gameplay ramps up at a rate than can only be described as perfection as you fall in love with the characters in your party and the environment in which they adventure. It's not perfect in every way but the imperfections that are to be found are like dust on a diamond - there, certainly, but utterly irrelevant. Final Fantasy is back and it was worth every second we had to wait - here's hoping we don't have to wait for the PS4 or Xbox 720 for our next adventure.

German club Hoffenheim have granted Gylfi Sigurdsson two weeks of leave so he can try and secure a move to the Premier League.
The Icelandic attacking midfielder, who spent the second part of last season on loan with Swansea City, was believed to be close to finalising a permanent move to the Welsh club before manager Brendan Rodgers left his post to take the job at Liverpool.
It is now suggested that the Reds are favourites to secure his services and while the negotiating goes on, Hoffenheim have allowed him time away from the club to sort his future.
"The club wants the 22-year-old to continue to secure a future in the Premier League."
"Gylfi Sigurdsson will not be with TSG 1899 Hoffenheim for the start of pre-season. He has, after consultation, obtained a prolonged holiday until 30th June," read a statement from the club.
"The club wants the 22-year-old to continue to secure a future in the Premier League."

Madame Einzige: Amor Fati
A Novel Synopsis
(Due for 2013 release, copyright© 2011, 2012 Ismael Sarepta)
In the once glorious homeland of the great spiritual-philosophers Zarathustra, Bodhidharma, and Rumi, on the frigid decaying steppes of Central Asia, amidst its bleak Modern condition of mafia-oligarchies, ruthless oil politics, extraordinary rendition torture and execution, corporate exploitation, and the proliferation of private military companies, a new Spring of Revolution breaks out.
But, unlike the Arab Spring years prior, this Central Asian Spring receives no international attention. These Eurasian States and their foreign puppet-state masters have learned from the bloody examples of Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, and Syria, of the necessity to systematically patrol and monitor regional Internet activity for dissidence and revolutionary activity. In the wake of the Arab Spring, the multi-trillion-dollar enterprise of mass State-wide Surveillance, Censorship, and the total State takeover of all inbound and outbound digital data, has been opened up for anyone with the resources, skills, and money to engineer Big Brother. Its sole contractors are the secretly founded subsidiaries of European and American Computer Corporations that operate outside of the law of their home countries, in order to engineer this Dystopic Nightmare of the Information Age.
And unlike the Arab Spring, this Central Asian Spring receives no blessing from Moscow, Beijing, Washington, Brussels, or even the United Nations — not even an attempt to co-opt the Spring for a Superpower's proxy war against another State — they are the unmemorable, the reviled, the censored. This is a refusal of the Spring's recognition all for the sake of protecting the State's geopolitical oil and economic interests in Central Asia, and out of the irrational phobia of the most misunderstood and most diverse force reacting against the Nihilism of Westernizing "Globalization" Modernity today: political Islam.
Madame Einzige is thrown onto the front lines of war-torn Central Asia gripped by the thoroughs of Revolution and Counter-Revolution. Takes up arms alongside these unknown, unsung rebels, she participates full-on in the brutality, carnage, insanity, and surrealism of warfare in the Information Age: the terror of the unmanned aerial drone, the cyber-war of mass disinformation, the ubiquity of the Superpower State's self-preservation instinct, and the mercenary looting, pillaging, and massacring of the Private Military Company—
Yet, despite the privatization of totalitarianism, despite the industrialization of destruction, despite the mechanization of slaughter in modern warfare, Madame Einzige witnesses the emergence of a new, enlightened, counter-culture movement — a counter-culture movement that combines the Hacker Ethic and reverse engineering, populism and Social Democracy, with the Mystical, the Philosophical, and the Rational of the Islamic tradition.
Inspired by the enlightened spiritual-warrior Sufi orders that once populated Central Asia and the Middle-East, and armed with jury-rigged cyber-warfare devices, homemade weaponry, salvaged old Soviet automobiles, camels and horses, these new techno-spiritual rebels carry out their revolution against the Corporate Machinery of the West, against the corrupt Oligarchies of Eurasia, and against the torrent of regressive Puritanical extremist interpretations of Islam.
Madame Einzige: Amor Fati is where speculative fiction, the political thriller, and the war novel meets the philosophical narrative, in a hyper-real, Postmodern Nietzschean Epic. Amor Fati is the first installment of the Madame Einzige series.

In Section 1.5 of the textbook, Zak introduces the Lagrangian L = K − U , which is the difference between the kinetic and potential energy of the system. He then proceeds to obtain the Lagrange equations of motion in Cartesian coordinates for a point mass subject to conservative forces, namely, d dt ∂L ∂ xi ˙ − ∂L = 0 i = 1, 2, 3. ∂xi (1)

In many respects, the science of materials has only fully utilized two of its three fundamental tools —the variables of temperature and chemical composition. Pressure, the third fundamental variable altering materials, is in many ways the most remarkable, as it spans some 60 orders of magnitude in the universe.

For five years I have been lecturing in a school of physical education (it could equally be described as a department of human movement, exercise science or kinesiology) where I teach a compulsory pedagogy course to approximately 220 undergraduates. The course has not been particularly popular with students, the most common objection being – 'I'm not going to be a teacher, so why do I have to do pedagogy?' Over the years I have tried different strategies in an effort to make the course more obviously relevant to students without compromising its educational content....

Opportunities for play, throughout childhood, contribute to children's life chances and development and active toddlers who grow up enjoying physically active play, especially in natural environments, may be laying the foundations for better health and a longer life than sedentary children (Pretty and others 2009). Active play is the most common type of physical activity children take part in outside of school, and outdoor and unstructured play may be one of the best forms of physical activity for children (BHF 2009).

The main objective of the doctoral research was to improve the performance in Physics and Mathematics, at Advanced Level Examinations, of two rural girls' secondary schools in Arua (Muni and Ediofe) through application of e-learning. Both schools have no functional science laboratories and libraries. They also have no qualified and committed teachers who can competently teach at that level of education. The research included participatory action research methodology and the use of interactive multimedia CD-ROMs for Physics and Mathematics as the main course delivery platform.

The Implications of the Final Report of The Commission on the Future of Health Care in Canada for Women
Women's involvement in the formal sector has mainly been urban-based, as civil servants in the health and education sectors, where they had a sizeable presence before the conflict. This was severely disrupted by the strong restrictions on female employment during the Taliban period. Currently, close to one-third of all teachers are female, while an estimated 40% of all basic health facilities lack female staff, a clear constraint to delivering basic services (health, in particular) to women.

The view is held that "right living" consists in the harmonious adjustment of one's habits to the nature and plan of the body, and that the best preparation for such living is a correct understanding of the physical self.

Company culture underpins a person's acceptability and shared values. Such values have an impact on the work of Human Resource managers involved in the recruitment, selection, and especially the retention of staff. There is a link too to allocating training opportunities to those in favour within an organisation. A key concern must surely be retention of valued staff. Thus an 'aesthetic' employee is perceived, perhaps through behaviour, as talented, valued and beautiful, though probably not in a physical sense.

The steps needed to define a successful space science mission are numerous. The science drivers, the unique advantages this mission provides over past missions or earth-based experiments, and the payload that it includes are the key factors to guarantee its success. Finding the required information on such topics is not so straightforward, especially as they are usually outside the scope of undergraduate courses.

Digital Terrestrial TV
How do I know that my device is affected by the shutdown?
A number of different digital TVs and digital DVD recorders could be affected by this broadcast shutdown.
An easy way to find out if your device is using GUIDE Plus+ is to start the Electronic Program Guide by pushing the "Guide Button" on the remote control.
If you can see the GUIDE Plus+ logo in your Electronic Program Guide your device could be impacted by the termination of the service.
My GUIDE Plus+ system is no longer displaying data. I have seen that the service has been terminated but is there anything I can do?
The Guide is capable of receiving data that is available on many channels. We recommend to perform a reset of your device to trigger a clean installation sequence. You should then get broadcasters' TV listings data in the GUIDE Plus+ system.
Please refer to your user manual for more information about the installation sequence.
I have performed a full reset of the GUIDE Plus+ system but I now find that not all channels have a complete set of TV Listings data. Why is this happening?
The GUIDE Plus+ system has now been populated using the data that channels make available. Not all channels will provide full information so there is nothing else that can be done. Most channels will provide information to see what is presently showing and what will be shown next.
Why is the Guide information inferior to what it had been before?
We had been providing extensive programming information but since this service has been terminated the Guide is now receiving its data directly from the broadcasters. However the level of coverage or quality is dependent on each and every broadcaster.
I am seeing a message on the Guide telling me to perform a manual data download. I don't seem to be able to avoid this so what should I do?
Since the service has been terminated you should perform a complete reset and run through the full Start Sequence Installation. You should then find that the Guide is populated with programming information that is made available by the individual broadcasters.
What is the discontinuation of the broadcast data service?
Rovi will be discontinuing the digital terrestrial broadcast data service for consumer electronic guides. The data used by the GUIDE Plus+ service provided by Rovi will no longer be available via the host broadcaster.
What will happen to my Guide after the discontinuation of the broadcast data service?
When a Guide stops receiving the broadcast data, it will set up using the data schedule that may be available on the channel. This DVB-SI EIT schedule will be available as long as the broadcasters continue to make it available. In other words the GUIDE Plus+ system will display similar data that is available on the normal digital guide available in your product.
In the case where no DVB-SI EIT data is displayed in the grid, we recommend the user to proceed with a "Start Installation Sequence" from the GUIDE Plus+ setup menu.
Why are we discontinuing the service?
Rovi has decided to stop broadcasting its digital GUIDE Plus+ TV listings data because Rovi's Guide Plus+ broadcast system is being superseded by Smart TVs and connected BluRay, where Rovi can offer richer more interactive services which can be delivered over the top through the internet connectivity of the devices.
I have set up some recordings for the future using the Guide. What will happen to these?
Once the timer has been set up on the recorder the recording schedule will be preserved. These would be lost if the recorder is fully reset.

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WYTV) – Winter breaks usually turn college campuses into deserted islands, but not when your football team is one win away from being national champions.
Even though classes don't start at Youngstown State University for another six days, the excitement keeps people flocking to campus.
"I just wanted to come out, support the team, buy some championship gear," said Darrin Roseman of Austintown.
The campus bookstore, which sells the majority of YSU's apparel, has brought in a consistent stream of traffic for the last three weeks.
"Winter break here on campus is usually slow, but we've had a lot of interest across campus, especially here at the merchandise we have," said Ron Cole, YSU's public information officer.
With the championship game getting closer and closer, the bookstore doesn't expect the stream of customers to decline. It has sold over 2,000 national championship shirts so far.
YSU football fans can wear their new shirts to the Covelli Centre's watch party starting this Saturday at 10 a.m.
The center said it expects the event to be well attended due to the number of people already getting tickets.
"The goal is to keep it free, keep it something that is celebrating the community, celebrating YSU sports," said Michael McGiffin, Youngstown's director of downtown events.
Tickets are required to enter. You can get them in advance or the day of at the box office.
"I think that everyone has championship fever now. It might have been a little slow and growing, but I think you're starting to feel a little bit like what it felt back in the '90s when we had an incredible run of championships. I think, again, that's going to continue to grow as the week goes on," Cole said.
Cole also said the university plans to sell championship merchandise online and in the bookstore "when we win," probably Tuesday afternoon.

Byron Abraham
After a career where he would set numerous high school records in football, baseball and track, including holding the Section III record in 1982 for most rushing yards in a season and in a career and also the Section III record in the 100m and 200m in track, Byron Abraham was the most heavily recruited high school football athlete in the entire Utica area in 1983.
When the University of Notre Dame called, the Notre Dame High School star committed, and played in all of the Fighting Irish's games as a True Freshman. In his first game, Abraham scored a touchdown against Purdue University. In the Liberty Bowl that year against No. 10 Boston College, Abraham helped secure a nail-biting win for the Irish 19-18.
After transferring to Syracuse University in 1984, Abraham would become one of the Orangemen's leading offensive stars. That year, he was the team's second leading rusher behind College Football Hall of Famer Don McPherson, and the team would play in the Cherry Bowl.
In 1987, Abraham, then a senior, helped the Orangemen to an historic undefeated season and a Sugar Bowl berth. His touchdown in the team's game against the University of West Virginia secured a 31-30 Syracuse win and preserved their undefeated season. That year, Syracuse would finish the College Football season ranked No. 4 nationally.
Abraham's accolades have been numerous. Some of the most noted awards and honors he has received include the 1983 All-Upstate High School Player of the Year, being named as one of the Top 100 incoming Freshmen in the Nation by The Sporting News magazine, a 1983 Adidas High School All-American in Football, the 1984 National Collegiate Baseball League Leading Hitter (he batted .400 that season), CBS Co-Player of the Game in 1985 against the University of Pittsburgh, a Coca-Cola Player of the Game in 1987 against the University of West Virginia, and a 2003 selection for the Notre Dame High School Brother More Sports Hall of Fame.

Can't open the Sizing Chart? Download Adobe Acrobat Reader.
Measure your foot with a ruler, using cm or inches; convert to Euro or US using this chart. If you need mondo sizing, please refer to the SCARPA chart on this page/tab. We recommend you purchase two sizes, the size you think you are plus one .5 size bigger for fit testing at home. As long as the products are in like new condition and the packaging is 100% intact, we will credit you for the returned product.
General fitting rules depend on the product's intended use... follow the appropriate guidelines below for best results.
Trail/mountain/approach/lifestyle products:
- The bigger/heavier/more supportive the product, the more you may want to upsize .5 - 1full size. Lighter, softer, more supple shoes can be sized closer to your measured size.
- Note: SCARPA Plastic mountain boots all use UK sizing; UK converts easily: 1 full size smaller than US men's size, 2 sizes smaller than US women's size.
- Try on with appropriate socks for your usage. The bigger the boot, the more appropriate a bigger sock (sounds crazy, huh?)
- If you use orthotics or already have aftermarket footbeds, measure against the standard footbed in boot. Fit into boot for sizing/fitting the boot.
- Best to try on at the end of the day when your feet are larger/swollen, than when your feet are fresh to ensure good fit after a long day.
- Lacing can play an incredibly important part of a good fit. Be sure to play with lacing when analyzing fit.
- Make sure your heel isn't slipping.
- Make sure your toes aren't hitting the end.
**Approach shoes may be sized smaller for performance purposes but beware... small shoes are really uncomfortable on the trail.
Rock climbing shoes
- From your measured size, you'll want to consider downsizing .5 - 2 full sizes. The flatter the shoe, the closer to your measured size; the more downturned/aggressive the shoe, the more you'll want to downsize.
- The best fit is comparative between sizes and only you will be able to judge that, though an experience climber could offer good insights to your fit.
- If it feels painful, it may break in... or it may not.
- Pain sucks as a rule of thumb though and makes climbing miserable.
- Only you can judge what's 'acceptable' discomfort.
- Good fitting rock shoes shouldn't necessarily be 'comfortable' by walking/running shoe standards.
- Look for looseness/bagginess in the toes and heel. Bagginess can mean 'slop' when climbing with feet perspiring, etc.
- Toes should completely fill the toebox.
- Heel should feel solid; like they won't pull off if heel hooking.
- Any foot movement in new shoes will mean sloppy fit when broken in.
Ski boots
- From your measured foot, convert to US size using the scale. Translate the US size to Mondo size using the SCARPA mondo scale (not 'true' mondo conversion)
- Shell fit: taking liner out of the shell and inserting foot, toes touching end of shell but completely flat.
- Should have 1.5 - 2 fingers of space behind heel and heel of shell (between 14mm - 20mm)
- Too little space = go up one shell
- Too much space = go down one shell
- If not sure... fit test BOTH shell sizes
- Put on a ski sock for gosh sake!
- Use and orthotic? Put it the boot (after taking out the standard footbed).
- Put foot in boot AND BUCKLE IT! You can not tell a boot fit without buckling it
- This will pull your heel back into the heel pocket, relieving cramped toe space
- Boots do pack out! A 'comfy' fit when new will mean slop later.
- Regardless, your toes should NOT be pressed against the end of the liner
- Get your Intuition liners molded! This provides THE BEST FIT available.
- Any minor pressure points or space will be eliminated by molding
- Find an experience SCARPA dealer for fitting/molding
- Boot fitting is an incredible service and generally requires a service fee of varying amounts... it's worth it though!

After doing a lot of research on buying a hiking shoe I settled on this one and so far it's working out really well. I wanted a shoe that's light weight yet gives ankle support and this shoe is just for that. I went on a 3 hour hike with a 30 pound pack in 100 degrees and this shoe performed remarkably well. It breathes great, no hot spots, very comfortable and handled the terrain really well (mud, rocks, inclines etc). It does run true to size, since I am size 40, I ordered a 42 and it worked out great. My feet stay firm in the shoe and there were no blisters. This shoe is just ready to go out of the box. I plan to put many more miles on it...

Another biathlon gold medal for Conway's Doherty
February 28. 2014 3:00PM
Less than one week after making his Olympic debut, Conway biathlete Sean Doherty on Friday won a gold medal on the first day of competition in the IBU Youth/Junior World Championships at Presque Isle, Maine.
A Kennett High School of Conway student, Doherty -- at 18, the youngest-ever member of a U.S. Olympic Biathlon Team -- won the men's 7.5-kilometer race, the same event in which he captured silver at last year's youth/junior championships, in 19 minutes 35 seconds, with four penalties.
On a frigid and windy day, powerful skiing enabled Doherty to overcome struggles on the shooting range and edge Germany's Marco Gross, who earned the silver medal by finishing with two penalties, 1.7 seconds back. Dmitri Shamaev of Russia won the Bronze medal, with three penalties, 18.9 seconds back.
Doherty last year became the first American ever to achieve three podium finishes at a world championship when he earned two silver medals and a gold at Obertilliach, Austria. In the Olympic Winter Games last Saturday, he had the second-fastest time of the four Americans in the 4-by-7.5K biathlon relay, helping the U.S. to a 16th-place finish.
The IBU Youth/Junior World Championships continue through March 7.

" According to conviction, I am not simply what I am doing now. I am also what I have done, and my conventionally edited version of my past is made to seem almost more the real me than what I am at this moment. For what I am seems so fleeting and intangible, but what I was is fixed and final. It is the firm basis for predictions of what I will be in the future, and so it comes about that I am more closely identified with what no longer exists than with what actually is

There aren't too many things that can ruin a ride faster than poorly fitting socks. First they are just distracting, then they start developing painful hot spots. Pearl Izumi comes to the rescue with its Elite Sock, which combines their precise cut with advanced moisture-managing materials. The socks' new Elite Transfer yarn wicks moisture like crazy (33% faster than competitive brands) so your feet can regulate their temperature by sweating when needed without worries about moisture accumulation. That's important because sweaty feet are not only uncomfortably clammy, but they can lead to blistering. To say nothing of stinky shoes. Smart design contributes to your comfort, too. The ultra-smooth toe design means that there is hardly a seam to rub against your toes. The fit has around the instep is enhanced by anatomic arch compression; these babies will absolutely hug your feet. Ventilation has been aided by mesh over the top of the foot that will help keep the foot cool while giving the sock a low-profile shape. The standard cuff height will give your Achilles tendon just the right amount of protection from your shoe rubbing, and enables a suitably cycling-appropriate tan line. The Pearl Izumi Elite Socks are available in Black and White. They come in sizes Medium through X-Large.

The couple was walking on the pavement. They looked to be totally consumed together. They were not talking with each other, but a look at them could tell that they were in deep love and were created for each other. What is this magical quality to be created for each other? What features does this kind of relationship have? Are the choices sam-e? Or once we say in science, opposites attract. Therefore the choices are many different? May a couple having different choices in every aspect love one another or fight within the choices? We are able to say that at least most of the choices ought to be quite typical. If I say that my partner and I are manufactured for one another, what I should mean is this - he/she will be the right person for me. There is no other person in the world other than him/her who is able to produce a pair with me. Be taught further on a related wiki by clicking FriDae: Search Engine Optimization And Meta Tags: No More Foolin . We are happiest being together and our happiness arises from our relationship.
Are choices the sole factor that subject inside our life? Could it be enough if my weather preferences, my dressing choices, my color preferences, my diet plan and all my other likings are same as my partner, we're designed for each other? Is that most to the relationship said to be created for each other? There has to be something more? What can be-that? Let us figure out.
Love for each other, once the couple is together a deep longing for a sense of deep satisfaction and others body, heart and words that's taken. The couple has only 1 desire- to generally share every sensation, every thought, and anything. The key goal in life - make and keep the partner happy and feel happy in his/her happiness. We never say that they are made for one another, when we have a look at a mother with her baby, but they share a connection that is very strong. If a couple can somehow share that kind of bond, it can be called 'designed for each other.'. To research additional info, please consider checking out: company website .

Failures in risk governance are visible on a daily basis through "breaking news" stories which demonstrate limitations in the effectiveness of typical approaches to risk management.
With advances in technology, companies are now collecting far greater quantities of data about their business processes and assets than before.
Many organizations that have undertaken safety improvement initiatives have found that while easy wins are typically accomplished early on, further progress often becomes increasingly difficult.
The corporate leadership agenda has become busier over the last decade as the world's largest firms come under increasing scrutiny from a broader range of stakeholders.
New sentencing guidelines are evidently changing the landscape for health and safety prosecutions. Executives should be aware of these changes and the potential implications on their business
In the current environment uncertainties seem to be everywhere, making strategic planning more difficult than ever. Many companies use enterprise risk management (ERM) as a proven framework for managing risk.
A different approach - "value-based risk management" - can help organizations strengthen their decision-making capabilities and ultimately achieve better alignment with the strategic needs of the business.
As corporations extend their footprint into new geographies or new types of operations they face many challenges, not least of which is the potential for unexpected losses that can damage operations, corporate reputation, brand and business performance.
In the face of relentless and growing pressure for efficiency, companies are increasingly outsourcing to suppliers and contractors, meaning that managing safety across the supply chain is more challenging than ever.
National legislation with broad international reach is increasing the acute risk of legal non-compliance and the associated impact on corporate reputation. A risk-based due diligence approach is required to detect and prevent these risks.

Couples will be forced to have mediation to resolve any disputes before resorting to the courts in a shake-up of the divorce system.
Justice minister Jonathan Djanogly said mediation was "a quicker, cheaper and more amicable alternative, particularly where children are concerned".
The move follows a recommendation from the family justice review report that was intended to cut the strain on the system as an increasing number of parents become involved in legal wrangles over children and money.
Under the change, anyone wanting to use the courts will have to undergo a compulsory mediation assessment session first, which could cost some couples up to £140.
The proposals, which come into force from 6 April under a new agreement between judges and the ministry of justice, represent an extension of the system already in place for couples granted legal aid.
The move comes after justice secretary Kenneth Clarke's plans to scrap civil legal aid for a range of cases, including disputes over relationship break-ups.
Djanogly, who believes people are often too willing to hand over their personal problems for the state to solve, said: "Nearly every time I ask someone if their stressful divorce battle through the courts was worth it, their answer is no. Mediation already helps thousands of legally aided people across England and Wales every year, but I am concerned those funding their own court actions are missing out on the benefits it can bring.
"Now everyone will have the opportunity to see if it could be a better solution than going straight to court."
Djanogly has insisted that, at more than £2bn a year, the legal aid bill in England and Wales is far more per head than most other countries.
"Our proposals aim to radically reform the system and encourage people to take advantage of the most appropriate sources of help, advice or routes to resolution, which will not always involve the expense of lawyers or courts," he said.
A spokesman for the ministry said many people repeatedly go to court to argue over matters they are better-placed to sort out themselves, such as securing 30 minutes extra contact time with children or varying their allocated contact days. About 137,000 such cases were dealt with in 2009, a rise of 16%, figures showed.
In cases where either party or the mediator feels that mediation will not be suitable, the cases will continue towards the court system. Cases involving domestic violence or child protection issues will still bypass mediation and go straight to court.
Mediation was also cheaper than going to court, the ministry said, with data from legal aid cases showing the average cost per client of mediation as £535, compared with £2,823 for cases going to court.
The average time for a case using legally aided mediation is 110 days, compared with 435 days for court cases on similar issues, National Audit Office figures showed.
In October, David Norgrove, chairman of the Whitehall review, said there was a "tremendous strain" on the system, which was "intolerable" for children and their parents.

Family mealtime used to be a core daily activity in most households in the United States. With hectic schedules for both parents and children, it is becoming a lost art in many homes. Family members often eat at different times or in separate corners of the house while watching TV, playing video games, talking on the phone, etc.
To learn more about the many benefits of family members enjoying a pleasant meal together as well as ways to make the most of family mealtimes, refer to: HGIC 4105, Making Mealtimes Pleasant.

Finding window treatments that protect your privacy or shade you from glaring sun can be one of the most tedious and joyless of all decorating tasks. But it doesn't have to be. First of all, there is no law stating that you have to cover your windows. But if your view is less than enchanting or you just need privacy, there are options beyond curtains or dull blinds. Here are 19 creative ideas for dressing your windows that are anything but ordinary.
1. Frame It: If you can get away with no covering at all, you can still dress up the window with a bold burst of color. (via Elle Decoration)
2. Make A Reflection: Maybe you don't have a lot of wall space, or maybe you just never want to open your bathroom blinds because of the proximity to neighbors. Hanging mirrors in front of the window is a unique use of space. More importantly, it will give you the best light for doing your makeup! (via Maddux Creative)
3. Let The Light In: Without completely blocking the view, this simple treatment will make doing the dishes a much more cheerful affair. (via At Home on The Bay)
4. Door Frames: Get the shabby chic cottage feel with these DIY wooden gate window covers. (via Funky Junk Interiors)
5. Bedazzle With Beads: Creating a dreamy coastal atmosphere, this beaded curtain is perfect where privacy isn't needed. (via Houzz)
6. Eclectic Pieces: Love finding flea market treasures, but never know what to do with them? Why not hang it above the window as a valance like this swirly piece of wood? (via Houzz)
7. Screen Out: Providing shade, privacy and gorgeous shadows, these screens give you the best of all worlds. (via Delia Shades)
8. Royal Treatment: Instead of putting curtains around each little window, create a sweet canopy that doubles as curtains by hanging two extra-long swaths of fabric from a bed crown instead of a rod. (via Country Living)
9. Lacy Patches: Colorful and feminine, this would be pretty easy to make with thrift store lace doilies and some dye. (via Hupsistarallaa)
10. Loopy Circles: Wouldn't this be cute in a playroom or nursery? (via Unikatissima)
11. Statement Blinds: Well, if you insist, dear kitchen. (via The Well Appointed Home)
12. Cutout Spaces: These aren't your grandmother's shutters! We love the little peekaboo effect of the cutout pieces. (via Chaikhona)
13. Metal Screens: Jet-cut metal screens cast amazing shadows all over the walls and floor. (via Houzz)
14. Sculptural Screening: An algae-inspired sculpture hangs in front of a window wall, adding interest and texture to this bright loft space. (via Houzz)
15. Frosted Glass: While traditionally seen in bathroom, frosted glass panels can add a really nice diffused light to your space, and it offers complete privacy without cutting off the light. (via Cowhide Rugs)
16. Adhesive Film: A little like a decal, this adhesive is available in a range of contemporary patterns, goes on with water and can be removed easily for renters or the fickle of heart. (via Emma Jeffs)
17. On The Map: Perfect for the armchair traveler, plot your next trip from the comfort of your living room chair! (via Surface View)
18. Pom Pom Garland: We love the playfulness of the simple garland and the coverage the tall plants offer. (via Lillian Day)
19. Vertical Garden: We love anything that is a two-in-one and if they happen to look good doing it, that's even better. How awesome is this curtain and vertical garden in one?! (via Brit + Co)
Are you inspired to throw out those old curtains? Let us know in the comments below!

Grapes grow well in open sun and produce fruit abundantly. They will grow in shade also but fruit will be less abundant. Prepare the soil. Grapes grow very deep roots and do best in well drained soil. If your soil is clay rather than loamy or sandy, amend it well. Dig a hole between two and three feet deep and blend in some peat moss and compost with the existing soil. Set the plant and root ball in the hole, fill all the spaces with the amended soil and water well. In general, grapevines thrive in temperate climates, which grant the vines long, warm periods during the crucial flowering, fruit set and ripening periods. Below 10°C, the vines are usually in a period of dormancy. Much below this temperature, such as the freezing point of 0°C the vines can be damaged by frost. When the average daily temperature is between 17 and 20°C the vine will begin flowering.
Comments Warnings : Grapes have been heralded for their medicinal and nutritional value for thousands of years. They are made into wine or juice or eaten fresh. Traditionally grapes have been used for their levels of flavonoids which have antioxidant properties believed to have an anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic effect.

Although there's a lockout, it doesn't necessarily mean that all NHL players are without paychecks. In fact, it's far from the truth. Any player that has a signing bonus will still receive that bonus. Also, any player that was injured before the lockout will still receive paychecks until he is cleared to play by the NHL doctors. This means that injured players Marian Gaborik ($7.5 million) and Mike Sauer ($1.25 million) will still get paid until they are cleared to play by team doctors. For Gaborik, he will get paid for October and November at the minimum. As for Sauer, considering there was no timetable for his return, I'd expect that he will get paid for the entire duration of the lockout. For Rangers with bonuses, those bonuses will still be paid out: Brad Richards: $8 million Ryan Callahan: $1 million Chris Kreider: $90,000 + AHL salary of $67,500 Derek Stepan: $87,500 Carl Hagelin: $87,500 Anton Stralman: $200,000 Ryan McDonagh: $87,500 For the rest of the players who

Latest news »Blind Boys Holiday Special on PBS for Viewers in the USA
The initial release of Go Tell It on the Mountain was followed by a tour which included special guests who sang or performed on the CD. In December 2003, a special holiday concert was held at the historic Beacon Theater in New York City, along with vocal guests Aaron Neville, Chrissie Hynde, Mavis Staples and Michael Franti, as well as musical guests Robert Randolph, Charlie Musselwhite, Duke Robilliard, and ace keyboard player John Medeski. PBS filmed that show and it will be presented as a Holiday special entitled BLIND BOYS OF ALABAMA - GO TELL IT ON THE MOUN TAIN as part of their December 2004 pledge drive (check local listings). The program will air nationally between Dec. 4- 14. The program features a mix of gospel standards, such as "Down By The Riverside" and "Amazing Grace," as well as holiday songs chosen in collaboration with the guests. Mavis Staples joins us on "Born in Bethlehem," a song she learned as a child; Chrissie Hynde performs "In the Bleak Midwinter," a traditional English Christmas song; and Aaron Neville sings "Joy to the World." There's also the holiday classic "Little Drummer Boy," with spoken word by Michael Franti. You will be able to purchase a DVD copy of the concert with your pledge to PBS.

That. Was. Incredible. The Pirates are moving on to the NLDS after defeating the Reds in the wildest, most emotional, powerful sports environment you will ever witness. After being a part of it, I'm confident that is not hyperbole. This was an absolutely epic evening that no Pirate fan will ever forget. The blackout – which was a tremendous success. The countless rousing ovations, from warmups to player intros to all the big moments in the game. The sea of jolly rogers and black towels. The party on Federal Street, the Clemente Bridge (including this guy, who partied a little too hard), and on streets surrounding the park. The crowd rising and going nuts on numerous two-strike, two out situations. And of course…. CUEEEETTTTOOOOOOOO…..CUUUUEEEEETTTTTOOOOOOO!!!! (Cueto drops ball) [Crowd goes insane] RUSSELL MARTIN CRUSHES A HOMER AHHHHHHH!!!!! That's the tenth man at work right there. You hear countless pundits and fans boast about how an atmosphere can make an impact on a player's performance or a game itself. Most of it is probably nonsense. But that was the crowd influencing the game before your very eyes (and ears). Johnny Cueto and the Reds wilted under the pressure of 40,000 crazy people dressed in black, and the Pirates took full advantage, making everyone delirious. Francisco Liriano was a big part of it as well, as he got the crowd right into it with a quick strikeout, a 1-2-3 inning, and another simply excellent start in a huge spot. He followed the plan of completely shutting down the Reds' left handers, dominating Choo, Votto, and Bruce – who combined for one hit and a HBP against Frankie (Choo homered off Tony Watson). Getting the Pirates off to a clean start was enormous, and after that Liriano mostly cruised. Seven strong innings while allowing just one run, four hits, and a walk…and almost no stress whatsoever – only the fourth inning was a tad messy. Absolutely wonderful work by the Pirate ace, and he reaffirmed why he was the clear-cut choice to start this game. And then there was Cueto, former owner of the Pirates. Not anymore. He was off all night, leaving balls up and out over the zone and paying for it. Even when the Pirates didn't score in the first, things were looking good because they hit the ball HARD. Marlon Byrd took him deep in the second – Byrd's first postseason AB despite his long career. Awesome. (Byrd's good career numbers vs Cueto were a big talking point before the game…and remember how the Reds could have blocked the Pirates from trading for him? Oops.) Two batters later, Martin followed after the crowd jumped on Cueto. The Pirates did not let up. I was a bit surprised Dusty Baker stuck with Cueto so long, and the Bucs were able to take advantage with two more runs. Cueto wasn't the only Red who appeared rattled – Zack Cozart and Brandon Phillips helped the cause with some shaky defense up the middle. A Pedro sac fly added a third run after Cozart's error, and once Baker went to the lefty Sean Marshall to turn around Neil Walker, Walker delivered a booming 2-run double anyway to bring home a fourth. Byrd added a fifth run when Phillips botched an easy DP ball and got just one out. The rest of the game went perfectly smoothly. Liriano got through seven, Martin homered again, Watson tossed the eighth (he allowed a solo homer, but no big deal up 6-1), and Jason Grilli finished it off. Listen to Greg Brown call the end. It was a totally thorough, brilliant performance by the Pirates to eliminate their rivals, knocking them off for the fourth straight game to finish their season. Just surreal. The Pirates are going to St. Louis. There will be more playoff baseball at PNC Park on Sunday. I cannot WAIT, and neither can the rest of this city. Buctober is happening.
