CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – In its first home game of the season, the MIT baseball team overcame a shaky start to the contest to take a 6-2 win over Amherst. Senior Aric Dama (Winfield, Ill.) settled down after a first inning that saw the Engineers commit three errors and pick up the win by holding the Lord Jeffs to four hits and one earned run in 7.1 innings of work.
The three errors in the first came on the first three Amherst (8-4) hitters, with leadoff batter Alex Hero eventually coming around to score on the third miscue. With two on and no outs, Dama, who committed two of the errors, bounced back to get a strikeout and a double play to get out of the jam.
Amherst also was shaky in the field in the bottom half of the inning, making two errors that helped MIT scored three times. An error and two singles put the first three aboard for sophomore Hayden Cornwell (Newport Beach, Calif.). His comebacker to the pitcher was misplayed, with Amherst starter Fred Shepard kicking the ball back past home to allow the first run to score. Senior Ricardo Perez (Vienna, Va.) brought home the second run with a fielder's choice before sophomore K.J. Parent (Knoxville, Tenn.) knocked in the third with a single.
Dama and Shepard then seemed to hit their strides as they combined to allow just four hits over the next three innings before MIT extended its lead with a run in the fifth. Sophomore Eben Bitonte (Wichita, Kan.) led off with a walk, stole second and then moved to third on a balk. With one away junior Creed Mangrum (Sandy, Utah) lofted a fly to left and Bitonte just beat the throw home to make it 4-1.
Amherst tried to rally in the eighth when Mike Odenwaelder led off with a walk, moved to second on a wild pitch and then to third on a single to left from Louis Hunt. The Lord Jeffs then pulled off a double steal, with Odenwaelder beating the throw to the plate to make it 4-2. Taiki Kasuga then drew a walk that ended Dama's day and brought senior Henry Zhu (Overland Park, Kan.) in from the bullpen. He did his job, shutting down the rally by striking out the next two hitters looking.
MIT then responded with two runs to ice the game. Cornwell led off with a single and then came all the way around to score when senior Ricardo Perez's (Vienna, Va.) single to center got away from the Amherst center fielder. Perez, who took second on the throw home, was sacrificed to third and then scored on sophomore Parker Tew's (Chapel Hill, N.C.) single down the first base line.
Zhu finished things off on the mound, giving up just a single in the ninth as he earned his fourth save of the season. Dama struck out six in his 7.1 innings as he improved to 3-0 on the season. Shepard gave up just four hits and struck out seven in six innings for Amherst, but picked up the loss to fall to 1-1.
Cornwell was the only hitter to record two hits in the contest, finishing 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run. Kasuga was 1-for-2 with a pair of walks for Amherst.
MIT will play again tomorrow when it travels to Endicott College for a 3:30 p.m. game. Amherst will also play tomorrow, hosting Brandies University at 3:30 p.m.

Oor wrote: Recently(ish), my Gorean FW character had reason to try to use tassa powder on someone. She made enquiries IC about obtaining the powder (with the story that she suspected a house slave of stealing wine and wanted to prove it conclusively since the slave was one of her father's preferred girls), and OOC I sent a message to the sim admins to see what the admins' preference was - whether I would need to emote about the (pre-prepared) wine being laced with tassa powder before handing over the wine, or would be able to not mention the powder until after the other character had drunk (or left).
And the admins decision was that it should be mentioned in narrative before the target character drinks. My opinion is that mentioning something in narrative that the other character cannot know gives an opportunity for metagaming that is unnecessary.
This really isn't complicated. The administrators are right. Dropping any kind of powder into someone's drink (without narrative) that will result in a change to the other roleplayer's condition, health, consciousness without their roleplay permission is godmodding the roleplay.
"God Modding" is in essence when someone's character has the ability to do practically anything to another character like killing or injuring or poisoning or knocking out a character without the player's express permission. It isn't your job to police potential metagaming from the other player if they have a fair narrative of your "intent" to spike their drink. Roleplay is a two way dance, not just your own, and everyone deserves a chance to share in and write the story together. I've been in a couple past roleplay situations where men tried to dupe me into drinking beverages spiked with gorean ruffies to knock me out and rape me (with no rp warning). They later revealed their intentions all along were to get me pregnant and keep me. That's some pretty serious life changing roleplay. I was like, so I don't have a choice in this roleplay?
But back to the point of the topic, it also isn't cool to resort to ooc trickery by using insincere thought emotes that contradict the characters true intentions. That's gerrymandering the roleplay. Of course, if the roleplayers agree ahead of time to this kind of surprise roleplaying, want to play it that way, especially if they know each other, are ooc friends, then off course, all bets are off and you can do anything you like together.

Microsoft's SQL Server database server platform and its cloud-based SQL Azure may share many core technologies but they are not one and the same. As a result, moving data and apps from one to the other is not all that simple.
Two companies this week set out to address that during the annual PASS Summit taking place in Seattle. Attunity and CA Technologies introduced tools targeted at simplifying the process of moving data from on-premises databases to SQL Azure.
Attunity Replicate loads data from SQL Server, Oracle and IBM's DB2 databases to SQL Azure and does so without requiring major development efforts, claimed Itamar Ankorion, Attunity's VP of business development and corporate strategy.
"The whole idea is to facilitate the adoption of SQL Azure, allow organizations and ISVs to benefit from cloud environments and the promise of SQL Server in the cloud," Ankorion said. "One of the main challenges that customers have is how do they get their data into the cloud. Today, it requires some development effort, which naturally creates a barrier to adoption, more risk for people, more investment, with our tools, it's a click away."
It does so by using Microsoft's SQL Server Integration Services, which provides data integration and transformation, and Attunity's change data capture (CDC) technology, designed to efficiently process and replicate data as it changes. "We wanted to basically provide software that would allow you to drag a source and drag a target, click, replicate and go," Ankorion said.
For its part, CA rolled out a new version of its popular ERwin data modeling tool for SQL Azure. CA ERwin Data Modeler for SQL Azure lets customers integrate their in-house databases with SQL Azure.
"CA ERwin Data Modeler for Microsoft SQL Azure provides visibility into data assets and the complex relationships between them, enabling customers to remain in constant control of their database architectures even as they move to public, private and hybrid IT environments," said Mike Crest, CA's general manager for data management, in a statement.
CA's tool provides a common interface for combining data assets from both premises and cloud-based databases. Customers can use the same modeling procedure to maintain their SQL Azure databases.

Egypt's Morsi pardons 'Arab Spring' political prisoners
Issued on: Modified:
One hundred days into his term as Egyptian president, Mohammed Morsi announced on his Facebook page that he would pardon all those arrested during the popular revolution that toppled Hosni Mubarak in early 2011 and up until June of this year.
Egypt's President Mohamed Morsi on Monday pardoned all those arrested between the start of the revolution that toppled president Hosni Mubarak in February 2011 and June this year, state media said.
A decree published on the presidency's official Facebook page announced the amnesty for deeds "committed with the aim of supporting the revolution and bringing about its objectives, in the period January 25, 2011 to June 30, 2012, with the exception of crimes of first-degree murder."
Massive protests that erupted on January 25 last year forced Mubarak to stand down after more than 30 years of iron-fisted rule.
The amnesty declaration covers people who already have convictions and those who are still under investigation or are on trial, according to the decree.
It comes 100 days after Morsi, who emerged from the Muslim Brotherhood, became the first freely elected president of Egypt and its first civilian head of state when he took office in June.
The decree was issued on the eve of the first anniversary of the Maspero massacre of 20 protesters during a Coptic Christian demonstration after the torching of church.

Are Adult Orthodontics Really Worth It?
When you are considering getting adult orthodontics, you should know if it is worth going through the process. Many people look at getting something like braces and are overwhelmed by the prospects of needing to wear braces or aligners for a year or two. While it may seem daunting, orthodontics are far more comfortable, discreet, and convenient than they used to be. Besides, what is a year or two over the course of a lifetime? Your smile is something everyone sees any time they look at you. If your teeth are crooked, they will notice. If your smile is beautiful, it can light up the room. The small sacrifice you make today can positively impact the rest of your future.
In addition to drastically improving your appearance, adult orthodontics can also improve your oral health. Few people consider the downside of having crooked teeth beyond how they look. In reality, crooked teeth can create a breeding ground for bacteria as food becomes trapped in between teeth, making it hard to remove and allowing plaque and tartar to form. When teeth are severely crooked, even floss can have a difficult time removing everything. As a result, people with bad teeth are more likely to suffer from cavities and infections. Simultaneously, many people with crooked teeth also have a misaligned jaw. When teeth do not come together as they should, it can place pressure on certain areas of the jaw and on particular teeth. These teeth may be subject to premature wear, enamel erosion, and sensitivity. By aligning your jaw, you can reduce the risk associated with this so your teeth have a better chance of remaining healthy and intact and you are less likely to suffer from jaw pain. Orthodontics are a win-win for your oral health and appearance.
If your primary concern regarding orthodontics is how you will look during treatment, don't worry. We offer several ways to straighten your teeth, and the benefit of waiting until you are an adult is that you have far more options than children do. Typically, traditional metal braces are the best solution for children. They are durable, effective, and get the job done. Unfortunately, they stand out while doing so. As an adult, you can choose between metal braces, ceramic ones, and clear plastic aligners. This means you can select a treatment option based on your needs, budget, and the goals you have for your appearance. For example, if you need a solution that is flexible because of your sales job, you may want to wear clear aligners that can be taken out when you are making a presentation. If you are a busy parent and want a solution that works without you needing to remember to do anything, traditional braces may be your best option. All our solutions are effective, so it is really up to you to determine what you are comfortable with. We can help.

Mariners unable to hold down Jeter, Yankees
SEATTLE -- In a classy gesture, the Mariners honored Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter with a special ceremony before Tuesday night's series opener at Safeco Field.
In classic Jeter fashion, he came up clutch, sparking the Yankees with a one-out double in the top of the eighth inning before scoring the go-ahead run to send the Mariners to a 3-2 loss.View Full Game Coverage
SEATTLE -- In a classy gesture, the Mariners honored Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter with a special ceremony before Tuesday night's series opener at Safeco Field.
In classic Jeter fashion, he came up clutch, sparking the Yankees with a one-out double in the top of the eighth inning before scoring the go-ahead run to send the Mariners to a 3-2 loss.View Full Game Coverage
Granted, it was Jacoby Ellsbury who delivered the go-ahead single off Mariners reliever Charlie Furbush on an 0-2 pitch, scoring Jeter from second.
But the night belonged to the Yankees captain, who is making his last trip to Seattle -- barring a playoff matchup -- in his 20th and final season in the Major Leagues.
For most the night, the noise from a divided crowd of 28,405 went back and forth between cheering the Mariners and chanting "Derek Jeter!" All this after he was gifted a video tribute on the Safeco Field big screen, a watch from former teammate Robinson Cano, a base, a chair from the Kingdome and a $5,000 donation to his Turn 2 Foundation. Jeter responded by going 2-for-3 with two runs scored to lift his average to .259.
"He played a nice game," Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon said. "I wished he didn't, but he played a nice game."
The Mariners' contingent didn't have much to holler about until Dustin Ackley delivered a game-tying single with two outs in the seventh off Yankees reliever Dellin Betances. It came after Mike Zunino was hit by a pitch and then advanced to second on a wild pitch.
Prior to Ackley's single, Betances had been nearly unhittable this season. He leads MLB relievers with 63 strikeouts and has a 3-0 record (1.50 ERA) in 17 appearances since May 2, a span in which he's held hitters to a .157 batting average.
"He's one of those guys that throws so hard and so long that you just gotta see it and hit it," Ackley said.
That's what the Yankees did in the first off Seattle starter Hisashi Iwakuma, scoring two runs when Carlos Beltran lined a two-out RBI double, then Brian McCann reached on an RBI infield single back up the middle. Mariners shortstop Brad Miller laid out to stop McCann's grounder from reaching the outfield, but his throw pulled first baseman Willie Bloomquist off the bag as the second run came around to score.
"Early on, it seemed like they had a very good game plan of what I wanted to do," Iwakuma said through translator Antony Suzuki. "They had me by the book. I had to change my game plan from the second inning on, and I was able to get quick outs and use the inside of the plate more effectively. That kind of helped me out."
From there, Iwakuma was efficient and effective. He allowed three runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out five in 7 1/3 innings. He threw a season-high 108 pitches, 69 for strikes, but earned the loss when he couldn't close out New York in the eighth.
Brett Gardner led off the inning by launching a pitch that landed in the right-field seats -- barely foul. He followed by flying out to the center-field warning track before Jeter delivered a ground-rule double to left-center.
"He's my No. 2 starter, he had 102 pitches, he said he felt great," McClendon said when asked about the decision to leave in Iwakuma. "That's baseball."
Iwakuma's support came in the bottom of the first, when Cole Gillespie cut the deficit to 2-1 with a two-out RBI single after Cano (2-for-4) doubled down the left-field line. Since May 31, Gillespie is hitting .431 (10-for-23) with a home run, four RBIs and two runs.
However, the Mariners couldn't come through with another clutch hit against Yankees starter Vidal Nuno, who allowed one run on four hits and a walk in 5 2/3 innings.
"He mixed the fastball, curveball and slider to the lefties," said Ackley after finishing 1-for-3 with a walk. "He was kind of just mixing it up the best he could."
The left-hander entered with a 5.33 ERA, but he was able to work out of jams and allow minimal damage against a Mariners club coming off a 6-1 road trip. On Tuesday, the Mariners missed chances and ended the night with a .238 team batting average.
With one out in the second, Zunino doubled, but Nuno struck out Michael Saunders and induced Ackley to fly out.
In the fourth, the Mariners threatened again with a one-out walk by Gillespie and a Kyle Seager single, but Zunino flew out to shallow left and Gillespie didn't test the arm of Gardner by trying to score from third.
"He would've been out," McClendon said when asked if Gillespie should have tried to score.
Then Saunders sent a deep drive to the center-field wall, but Ellsbury made a leaping catch as he crashed into the fence, ending the inning and the Mariners' best chance to upend New York.
"I think the way we swung the bat today didn't really indicate the score," Ackley said. "I think a lot of guys squared some balls up, but we didn't really have any luck. I think that's just gonna happen. You're gonna have those nights. We're just going to continue with the same approach."
The loss snapped Seattle's three-game winning streak and dropped its record to 34-30. The Mariners finished with seven hits.
"It's OK, guys," McClendon said, perhaps noticing a quiet interview room. "We just lost the game. We're going to be OK tomorrow."

Huckabee: Ad not an endorsement
Former Gov. Mike Huckabee recently taped a glowing video thanking Sen. Lindsey Graham for his tough positions on national security. But this week, Huckabee stressed that the spot shouldn't be viewed as an endorsement for the South Carolina senator, who faces several primary challengers as he seeks reelection this year.
"To be clear, I haven't endorsed Lindsey Graham for Senate," Huckabee, a former presidential candidate, said in a statement on his PAC's website. "Last year, I voiced an ad thanking him for support of Israel. It was not an endorsement for his reelection. In fact, I don't plan to endorse anyone in [the South Carolina] Senate race in the primary but I will certainly help in the general election if asked."
Story Continued Below
The ad in question, from the South Carolina Conservative Action Alliance, calls Graham a "conservative champion for peace through strength," and urges viewers to call Graham to thank him.
( Also on POLITICO: Bill O'Reilly: New York Times Benghazi report 'pure bull')
The ad in question, from the South Carolina Conservative Action Alliance, calls Graham a "conservative champion for peace through strength," and urges viewers to call Graham to thank him. It was filmed last month but played prominently Wednesday during the Capital One Bowl, in which the University of South Carolina was playing.
"The enemy of our time is radical Islam, and there's a leader in South Carolina who knows what it takes to win: Sen. Lindsey Graham," Huckabee said in the spot. "He demands answers on Benghazi, backs our allies in Israel and he fights for a strong national defense."
But in the statement on Thursday, Huckabee sought to clarify that the message wasn't intended to pick favorites in the primary.
"Obviously, Senator Graham's people are using the 'Thank you' ad and treating it like an endorsement, but neither the PAC nor I personally have endorsed in the South Carolina Senate race," he said. "Please help me by sharing this statement with your friends across South Carolina so voters understand where I stand."
( Also on POLITICO: Sonia Sotomayor faces health law contraception decision)
A spokesman for the Graham campaign contacted by POLITICO did not offer comment on the matter. But David Wilkins, the South Carolina organization's chairman, backed up Huckabee in an email. "We agree with Governor Huckabee's statement that this was not an endorsement," he said.

News Release 2009-66 | June 15, 2009
Joint Forum Final Release of Paper, Stocktaking on the use of credit ratings
WASHINGTON—Comptroller of the Currency John C. Dugan said that a paper released today provides valuable information on the use of credit ratings. The Joint Forum, which he chairs, released the paper, Stocktaking on the use of credit ratings. The paper had already been released to the Financial Stability Board (FSB) in December 2008 as part of the process associated with the G7 – Report of the Financial Stability Forum on Enhancing Market and Institutional Resilience.
"This paper provides valuable information on the regulatory use of credit ratings by a broad range of regulatory authorities, including banking, securities, and insurance supervisors across 12 countries," Mr. Dugan said. "Policymakers and others will find the report a useful reference when considering the extent to which credit ratings should be relied on in regulation and supervision going forward."
This paper was developed in response to a request from the FSB for the Joint Forum to conduct a stocktaking of the uses of external credit ratings by its member regulatory authorities in the banking, securities and insurance sectors. The Joint Forum prepared and circulated to member authorities a questionnaire on the use of credit ratings in their jurisdictions. The questionnaire was designed to elicit information regarding member authorities' use of credit ratings in legislation (statutes), regulations (rules), and/or supervisory policies (guidance) governing, generated by, or affecting such authorities. This report focuses on the responses concerning the usage of credit ratings. It also describes respondents' assessments regarding the impact of their use of credit ratings.
The Joint Forum was established in 1996 under the aegis of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, IOSCO, and the IAIS to deal with issues common to the banking, securities, and insurance sectors, including the supervision of financial conglomerates. Comptroller of the Currency John C. Dugan has been Chairman since September 2007.

Subscribe To SAG Award Nominations Throw Weight Behind 12 Years A Slave, The Butler Updates
I've already subscribed
Nominees for the 2014 Screen Actors Guild Awards were announced Wednesday morning in Los Angeles, giving Oscar trackers a clearer picture of the ongoing race as it continues to gel.
As the L.A. Times notes, the annual SAG Awards can be "the most reliable early predictors of the Oscars," primarily because the Academy's acting branch tends to be the largest voting group – so their collective preferences can point to a notable direction in the Oscar race. This year, SAG seems to have put its weight behind 12 Years a Slave and August: Osage County, which earned multiple nominations including the key category of Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture (the SAG equivalent of Best Picture).
SAG isn't always right. Last year, the group accurately predicted that Ben Affleck's Argo would have a big night at the Oscars. But the year prior, SAG went with The Help over the eventual Best Picture Oscar winner, The Artist.
How will history shape this race? We're starting to see the final pieces snap into place. The major regional critics' groups continue to recognize the best of 2013. The Broadcast Film Critics Association will reveal its nominees for the Critics' Choice Movie Awards on Monday, Dec. 16. And tomorrow, Dec. 12, we'll have a full slate of Golden Globes nominees to analyze … and likely criticize.
Until then, here's the complete list of film nominees for the 2014 SAG Awards, which will be aired on TNT and TBS on Saturday, Jan. 18. What did they get right? Where did they go wrong?

{My tiny guy & my new white sofa}
It's from Restoration Hardware and it's the Belgian track arm sofa. It was a bit of an impulse purchase... one we thought long & hard about (is it weird to talk about the purchase of a sofa for hours over the course of a couple of weeks??) but an impulse purchase nonetheless because I didn't really think it through the way I should have.
With my clients, I keep them safe... In my own house, I take the hits. We're the guinea pigs. We try things I would never be comfortable recommending until I'd tried myself. Case in point: a white sofa. I have never recommended a pure white UPHOLSTERED sofa to a client. Washable slipcovers, yes, but nonwashable, no neva.
So... before I ordered the sofa, I got the sample of my fabric- the Indoor-Outdoor Perennials Linen Collection in White- and I trashed the thing. I smeared a greasy gob of tomato from a pizza on it. I let it sit a while and then I worked the stain out. It came out perfectly clean!! You could basically just hose this thing off and it came out perfect! Over the course of a few weeks, I'd take the memo out and shake my head that there was no residue from the nasty stain I'd made and that's really what sold me.
{And the fact that it's totally gorgeous}
I thought about using my usual trade sources but I was impatient and had already seen the magic of the fabric, so I went with Restoration Hardware.
But I'd forgotten my own previous experience with a nonwashable white sofa which is- it's not the stains that get you because they can usually be worked out, it's the daily dinge and grime that kills the sofa. We've had a couple of times where I've had to work out stains from the sofa and it's done really well, but it's when we have lots of people over and there are lots of blue jeans and bare legs and feet on my sofa that really mess it up. I've tossed a pretty blanket over the back rail because it's in a major walkway of the house where people tend to lean on & touch so there's no problem there but the bottom seat cushion itself didn't stay looking good for very long. It started looking a bit gray and just not fresh at all like the rest of the sofa.
I started thinking of my back-up plan... (This had secretly been in my head all along but I hadn't wanted to go there.) The indoor-outdoor fabric isn't supposed to be machine washable. But I took a deep breath one day and threw it in the washing machine. I couldn't take looking at the dinginess anymore. I put it on cold & gentle and used a ton of spray & wash and it came out perfectly white. I let it air dry.
My sofa looked so good again!! I only washed the seat cushion and am dreading having to wash the sofa slipcover itself (and may never have to- at least for a long while) because things can tear and get messed up in the washing machine if they're not meant to be washed and I've got to worry about the shape--- but I'm definitely going to keep washing the cushion covers.
The perennials fabric itself attracts little bits of lint from people's clothing and so it looks a little pilly. The washing didn't get rid of those and so to get rid of them, I literally have to pick them off like lint on a sweater. It is what it is.
It's super-comfy, really pretty and a bit of a pain to deal with.
So- would I recommend this sofa? Sofa itself, I like. Perennials in WHITE?? Not so much. I know that when I'm washing it, I'm getting rid of whatever is on it to make it bullet-proof. (Washing treated fabric also washes away the treatment.) So if you HAVE to have a white sofa like I did- I'd really recommend going washable. At this point, I'm just telling myself I own a sofa with a washable white slipcover and I'm forgetting that it had any magical stain-proof qualities. As a washable white slipcovered sofa- I like (and kind of love) it.
So for me, it's a "yes." For a client? I'd still have to say "no" because it's pretty risky. If it was in another color other than white (the natural, for example) it would probably be great because even a slight color off from white hides the daily grime although the fuzz/pills would still slightly bug me. (We have a very light- almost white- "natural"-colored twill slipcover upstairs and have had it for 5+ years and it still looks amazing. (Also by Restoration Hardware!)
I will probably keep washing mine for a few years and I do plan on having an alternate slipcover made some time (way) in the future to be able to switch it up.
Anyway, hope this helps!!

QuickBooks 2012 Customers Menu Odds and Ends
The Customers menu in QuickBooks 2012 supplies several commands that are noteworthy — perhaps even useful — and deserve discussion. Here is a brief description of the lesser used commands that may be available on your Customers menu:
Customer Center: Displays the Customer Center window, which includes information about your customer list, including the amounts that your customers owe.
Create Estimates: Displays a window you can use to create an estimate for a customer to show them, for example, what a product or service will cost if you sell it to them.
Create Sales Orders: Displays a window you can use to create a sales order. Essentially, a sales order is an invoice for something you haven't yet really sold or for services you haven't yet provided. You prepare a sales order to record an order from a customer or client and document the order details.
Sales Order Fulfillment Worksheet: Displays the Sales Order Fulfillment worksheet window, which lists all your unfulfilled sales orders. You can print batches of sales orders using this worksheet, too. (Note: If you've created sales orders for a particular customer or client, QuickBooks asks whether you want to turn a sales order into an invoice whenever you start working on an invoice for that customer.)
Create Batch Invoices: Displays the Batch Invoice dialog box, which lets you identify a group of customers you want to bill for some specified item. After you've grouped, or batched the customers in this manner, you can tell QuickBooks to create a bunch (a batch) of invoices.
For example, if you charged customers a monthly retainer fee, you could batch the customers on retainer and then create an invoice for each of them that billed for the "monthly retainer fee" item.
Enter Statement Charges: Displays the Accounts Receivable Register. You shouldn't need to use this command. You can, however, use this command to add amounts to the accounts receivable for a particular customer. The amounts then appear on the customer's next statement.
Create Statements: Displays a window that you can use to create a set of monthly statements for customers. Such statements show the amounts that a customer owes, invoices created for the month, credit memos issued for the month, and payments made during the month.
Lead Center: Displays the Lead Center window, which lets you store and monitor customer leads. The window lets you name names, collect notes, and keep a to-do list of lead generation activities.
Add Credit Card Processing: Displays a web page that explains and tries to talk you into buying Intuit's credit card processing service.
Link Payment Services to Company File: Makes the connection between your QuickBooks data file and the Intuit servers — something that's necessary if you sign up for credit card or electronic check processing.
Add Marketing and Customer Tools: Displays a submenu of commands you can use to get information about add-on products and services that Intuit and other companies sell to improve marketing, manage field service activities, or use EDI (electronic data interchange) to share business data with other companies.
Learn about Point of Sale: Displays a web page that explains and tries to talk you into buying Intuit's point of sale software.
Item List: Displays the Item List, which shows the items that may be included on the invoice or credit memo.
Change Item Prices: Lets you change the prices of a bunch of different items at one time — for example, increasing every price by 5 percent.

Seattle's Sport Bar, Jillian's Promotes Local Craft Beers
Jillian's Billiards Club of Seattle is your quintessential sports bar: pool tables galore, a wide collection of large, flat screen TVs, sports apparel on the walls, okay food and a slim selection macro-brews on tap.
This past Friday, Jillian's changed that with a beer fest called Micros and Music. $5.00 bought you 10 2oz pours of local, craft brews and unlimited finger foods, such as min-burgers, hot pretzels and spring rolls. As stated on Washington Beer Blog's preview post about the event, this new direction and focus on craft brewing is largely due to new management. I think sports and great beer should always go hand in hand.
Aside from the fact that this was a great deal, I was able to taste not just Washington State beers, but several local, Seattle beers.
Highlights include:
Georgetown's Lucille IPA- fruity, smooth and refreshing.
Odin's Smoky Bacon Beer– robust, perfectly smoked and slightly salty.
Schooner Exact Brewing's Puget Soundian Dark Ale, Black IPA– a great balance of hops and roasted malt remaining consistent with the body and texture of an IPA- well done!
Other note worthy brews:
Big Al's 5 Star Chili IPA got the group's attention. Brewed with jalapenos, chili peppers and habeneros, this IPA will scorch your mouth and leave you wanting more.
Two Beers Brewing's Fresh Hop was one of the first of its kind to pour this season, this beer uses 5 different hops in the process and is finished with fresh Centenniel. This was my first beer of the night and its balance of bittering hops and sweet, honey flavors kept me thinking about it the entire time (plus they were giving out stickers).
Sad to say, I did not get to taste all of the beers due to time constraints. Breweries I missed: Naked City, Diamond Knot, Red Hook, Widmer Bros., Alaskan Brewing Co. and Emerald City Brewing Co. This event was a great showcase of what Jillian's plans on rotating on tap in the future. So if you hesitated about going to Jillian's due to the lack of options, grab some friends, play some pool and enjoy the craft beer we love so much.
October 20, 2010 at 6:49 am
Yeah..Seattle is a great city. I had been there a year ago for my work. But couldn't try this beer. maybe next time. Cool blog. 🙂

The Princess Effect
How women's magazines demean powerful women—even when they're trying to celebrate them.
On June 18, the Hearst Corporation announced that Alyssa Mastromonaco, the former White House deputy chief of staff for President Barack Obama, would shortly join the publishing juggernaut as "an ambassador for the Marie Claire brand." Mastromonaco, whose tasks will include "providing insight on trends and women to watch," says she is excited about the move. Marie Claire, she notes in the press release, "not only produces gorgeous fashion editorial and provides cultural insights but also helps its readers navigate world news and get smart on global women's issues."
Providing "fashion editorial" and "getting smart on global women's issues" might seem like mutually exclusive goals. But for women profiled as political players, there is rarely a chance to choose between them. The personal is political, the saying goes, but for women, the political is removed from the person, replaced by trite obsessions with clothes, hair, child care choices and exercise routines. The media's preoccupation with such trivia is no mere relic of an earlier era. Even today, several generations removed from the devastating critique of their triviality that was at the heart of first-wave feminism, Marie Claire and other women's magazines remain obsessed with the appearance of female public figures, an obsession that still extends far beyond them into leading news publications like the New York Times and the Washington Post. You can take the woman out of the woman's magazine, but the style of coverage—and it is all about style—remains the same.
Story Continued Below
For nine years, Mastromonaco guided Obama's political trajectory behind the scenes. In 2011, the New Republic listed her as one of "Washington's Most Powerful, Least Famous People"; according to POLITICO, she "managed nearly every aspect of Obama's political rise." But even as she guided the life of the man running the most powerful country in the world, she remained typecast in the media in the two (very contradictory) roles allowed for women in public life: at once a Machiavellian maneuverer and a cupcake-eating cheerleader.
Here's a 2014 New York Times article with her in the scary role. It opens with a sober description of Mastromonaco's appearance: "Her reddish hair is colored; stress turned it prematurely white years ago." She is called "a secret weapon" with "a power that is relatively scary to people." Advisers note she remembers things about Obama, for whom it is her job to remember things, in "somewhat disturbing detail." In contrast, a 2008 Washington Post profile infantilized Mastromonaco to the point of actual infancy: "Her signature blend of extroverted insistence on organization and political savvy asserted itself when she threw an elaborate party for one of her teachers," the Post recalls of the deputy chief of staff's seminal nursery school days. "She called a meeting with her fellow 4-year-olds and gave each of them an assignment: cupcakes, streamers, balloons."
The Post gave Mastromonaco a nickname—"Ms. Fix-It"—and emphasized her obedience to the president: "She kept Obama's secrets and took his grief." Mastromonaco, they told us, was single, enjoyed celebrity tabloids, and was too subservient to call her boss by his first name. The sole allusion to her authority was that she "can be a bossy micromanager." (Bossy! Paging Sheryl Sandberg, the Facebook COO who has turned her global celebrity as an advocate for women "leaning in" to the workplace into the cause of trying to ban the practice of labeling ambitious young girls "bossy.")
Now Mastromonaco lands at Marie Claire, where she will shape the profiles of women much like herself—women in or in proximity to positions of power, nearly all young and attractive. How will Marie Claire operate? A clue lies in Mastromonaco's own 2013 profile and photo shoot, described by photographer Melissa Golden as an uncomfortable, staged process. Under Golden's guidance, Mastromonaco "fake-walked" the Eisenhower Executive Office Building and laid out her papers in a stereotypical image of work. (In a phone call with Politico Magazine, Golden disputed the characterization of the shoot as uncomfortable.)
"I think she was thrilled to end the shoot," writes Golden. Can you blame her? As both the orchestrator and subject of multiple media profiles, Mastromonaco knows how the game is played—and how, for women, it is rigged.
In The Feminine Mystique, Betty Friedan critiqued the narrow topics women's magazines would allow in a time of domestic unrest and Cold War: "[They are] crammed full of food, clothing, cosmetics, furniture, and the physical bodies of young women, but where is the world of thought and ideas, the life of the mind and spirit?"
Fifty years later, women have advanced in "the world of thought and ideas" only to find that, in the very same magazines, ideas pale in importance to the superficial qualities valued in Friedman's time—bodies, clothes, houses, makeup. Even the profiles that do manage to focus on ideas and achievements—like Marie Claire's 2012 take on Obama campaign adviser Stephanie Cutter— begin with "buttery highlights" and end with workout tips.
It is often said that "Washington is Hollywood for ugly people," but the adage is only half true. Women are not allowed to be ugly people because women—and nowhere more than in such women's magazines that reduce female political leaders to their supposed fashion and lifestyle choices—are not really allowed to be people at all. Female political leaders, even after decades of alleged advancement, remain pre-selected personas, trotted out to readers to conflicting and confusing effect.

Chartwells dining services supports K-State students both body and mind thanks to new scholarship
When it comes to campus dining and nutrition, Chartwells Higher Education Dining Services has been a partner with Kansas State University and taking care of K-State students' appetites since 1996.
Thanks to an $80,000 commitment from Chartwells, K-State can announce the establishment of the Nancy Kassebaum Scholarship.
"As a partner donor, Chartwells not only contributed generous financial resources to support the scholarship but also enjoys the opportunity to develop relationships with the students they support," said Bernard Pitts, assistant vice president of student life and executive director of the K-State Student Union.
The scholarship honors Nancy Landon Kassebaum, former U.S. senator for Kansas. The scholarship will be awarded annually to four freshmen who are enrolled in any curriculum at K-State and demonstrate a commitment to public service and a strong desire to continue to work in the public service realm.
Chartwells has historically been involved in student life at K-State by providing various gifts to the K-State Student Union, the university's Parents and Family Association and the hiring of several K-State hospitality management and dietetics graduates.
"We appreciate Chartwells' continued support of our students and shared value in supporting today's emerging leaders," Pitts said. "They have been more than a service provider; they support K-State in its holistic educational endeavors."
"We're proud to help students succeed in accomplishing their life goals and support our partnership with Kansas State University," said Steve Sweeney, Chartwells president and CEO. "Congratulations to all of the students embarking on a promising academic career at K-State."
"This is a wonderful way for Chartwells to impact our campus community," said Pat Bosco, vice president for student life and dean of students at K-State. "They are recognizing the importance of investing in our students and their success through their contributions, and we are very thankful for that."
Philanthropic contributions to K-State are coordinated by the Kansas State University Foundation. The foundation staff works with university partners to build lifelong relationships with alumni, friends, faculty, staff and students through involvement and investment in the university.

Schwenen, Sebastian (Frederiksberg, 2011)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The regulatory approach to supply security in electricity markets has been substantially altered since power markets were partly privatized and reregulated in the mid 1990's, when regulators chose to rely on market based prices and decentralized commercially based decisions on generation capacities. Prior to this market restructuring power systems basically worked as planned economies, however, the decentralization of production decisions introduced stochastic elements to electricity systems. Additionally, since the early 2000's, power generating companies, often incentivized by the state, started increasing the share of renewable but intermittent energy sources in their generation portfolios. Due to its intermittency the production process of wind, solar and hydro power is difficult to plan and therefore the final amount of power that enters the market at each point in time becomes difficult to predict. As the level of power supply intermittency increases, so also do the number of challenges that market based approaches face in organizing secure power systems....

Gold Pendant for Women
Gold Pendant for Women

One cannot resist the charm of a delicately crafted piece hanging from an equally great designer chain. Nowadays, just like everything else; one can buy gold pendant online. You might hear a lot of people discouraging you form doing this and telling you that you are putting your money at risk. This is true if you just randomly buy forma any website; however if you follow the following tips there is absolutely no need to worry when online gold pendant shopping.
1. The first thing you should be careful about is whom you are buying it form. There are already a lot of reputed retailers that hardly need an introduction. Stick to these few names only and do not buy form any new comer in the market.
2. Next thing to be sure is of their payment options. Is there COD facility that is cash on delivery? Today a lot of people who buy gold pendant online avail of this offer. Before placing an order, you can check for the availability of the same in your area and then proceed.
3. When online gold pendant shopping, read product description carefully. In the description look for the presence of BIS 916 marking. This is proof of the authenticity of the quality of the gold. Now, as far as the quality of gold pendant is concerned, know the difference between carat and karat. The latter tells you the purity and the former the weight. Hence, a 14 k or karat gold will have lesser purity than an 18 k and an 18K will have lesser purity than 22 K. The maximum purity found in gold jewelry is 22k. However, if you are looking for gold pendant for women that are studded with diamonds then you have no choice but to buy gold with a purity of 18K or lesser. The reason is that diamonds cannot be studded properly in gold jewellery with higher purity.
4. Now, once the package arrives, look for the authenticity marking that is BIS 916 and then only make the payment.
5. Similar to reading the product descriptions of gold pendant for women; you must also keep in mind the return policy or cancellation of request. When buying gold pendants for women online it is important to know whether any action will be taken and how long it will take for the same if, there are any defects found or there is difference in the design that you ordered.
6. What gold rate will the online retailer consider when shipping a replacement? This is very important as it can make a significant difference to your budget.
Lastly, ensure that you receive certificates of the diamonds studded in the pendant too. Once you are sure of all these points when buying gold pendants for women online then there is no cause to worry.

On the 7th anniversary of our first video – we present to you the LOST EPISODE of Ronin Dojo Community College DX!
This was made way back in 2010 for a cartoon film fest night in New York City. We had planned on releasing it when we had more Ronin Dojo episodes, but then we got jobs writing for TV and those episodes never came to be.
So please enjoy something we thought was funny four years ago. Hopefully Metal Gear Solid jokes are still relevant.
And big thanks to Tim Martin, the voice of Hank!

Each week throws off several new video game lists ranging from the humorous to the trivial. What's better? A list of those. Here's a roundup of the rundowns out there.
•The Top 10 Sexiest Video Game Commercials [Joystick Division]Some of these are reasonably tame. Many aren't even actual ads. All-Stars that are include the Heidi Klum Guitar Hero: World Tour ad that got Bill O'Reilly pissed off, Tera Patrick's partnership with Saint's Row 2 and the oopsie Serena Williams Top Spin 4 spot that never should have gotten out. No 1 is Jo Garcia on the Wii Fit.
•The Top 10 Counter Terrorists in Video Games [Ranker]Had to figure something like this was coming, with the killing of Osama bin Laden last Sunday. Splinter Cell's Sam Fisher is the obvious No. 1 choice; Solid Snake gets No. 3. The Bad Dudes are just No. 9.
•10 Video Game Console Prototypes [The Kartel]Nintendo's "Project Café (the Wii 2) and rumours (strenuously denied) that EA has an Xbox 360 successor make this retrospective another topical list, with looks at the original PlayStation, the Wii when it was known as the "Revolution," and the PS3's Boomerang controller.
•The 10 Worst Video Game Magazine Covers [1Up]GamePro shows up here twice, the only multiple dishonoree. Gotta admit, even considering the primitive capabilities at the time some of these were published, these are some extremely bad video game magazine covers. There's a top 10 best covers, but it's more fun to criticize.
•The 12 Worst Cutscenes in Gaming History [UGO]Hey, look at this, it's unbearable to watch. No 1 is Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon from the CD-I.
