While House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi stopped short of calling for Rep. Anthony Weiner to resign, her demand for an ethics investigation into his online affairs clearly signaled that her Caucus thinks it's time for him to go.
Democrats said Pelosi's unprecedented decision to swiftly call for an ethics investigation — and her harsh words for the New York Democrat — has sent a not-so-subtle sign that leadership does not want to see a protracted scandal at a time when Democrats are battling for control of the House.
"From a leadership standpoint, they've got to show they forced his hand," one Democratic consultant said. "It's so blatant. They don't want to see something drawn out, and it's not going to be the majority's position to resolve this quickly."
Although Pelosi's office declined to comment on the matter, Democrats close to the Minority Leader said that when it became clear Weiner had lied not only to his family and the media but also to the entire Democratic Caucus, Pelosi was not going to let him off the hook.
"She wasn't going to give him a break. There's just no question about that," a Democratic source close to Pelosi said.
"We've lost some time" in the party's efforts to hammer Republicans over Medicare, the source added.
Pelosi's handling of Weiner's scandal — which centers on a series of online affairs and lewd pictures of himself that he sent to women via Twitter, Facebook and text message — is strikingly different from how she has handled previous instances of Democrats having ethical woes. Weiner admitted Monday that he had inappropriate online relationships with at least six women over three years.
Pelosi on Tuesday officially asked the Ethics Committee to launch an investigation into Weiner's actions, saying that because the New York Democrat "disclosed conduct which he described as inappropriate ... an investigation by the Ethics Committee to determine whether the Rules of the House of Representatives have been violated is warranted."
Although Pelosi has sent similar letters to the committee in the past regarding Republicans — most notably asking for an investigation into former Majority Leader Tom DeLay (Texas) — she has never sent such a request when a Democrat is at the center of the scandal.
In previous scandals, Pelosi has tried to protect Members she is close with including then-Ways and Means Chairman Charlie Rangel (D-N.Y.) and her strong ally the late Rep. John Murtha (D-Pa.).
With Weiner, however, Pelosi called for an ethics investigation within an hour of his Monday press conference.
In the case of Rangel, Pelosi had a long personal and political relationship with the New York icon, which in part led to her hesitancy to quickly condemn him over charges of corruption.
But more significantly, Pelosi ultimately decided to back Rangel in response to internal political pressures within the Democratic fold, particularly from the Congressional Black Caucus.
CBC members — as well as other Democrats — were unhappy with how Pelosi had handled the scandal surrounding former Rep. William Jefferson (D-La.), who was accused of taking bribes. She forced him to step down from his seat on the powerful Ways and Means Committee while he was still under investigation. Additionally, several members of the CBC were also under investigation for a Caribbean trip they took, and the group was feeling besieged by the Ethics panel.
"There were absolutely CBC politics in play. You had a lot of CBC members who were really standing up for the chairman," a Democratic lobbyist said of the Rangel imbroglio.
Similarly, Pelosi strongly backed Murtha throughout his ethics woes over earmarks. She went so far as to back him over Rep. Steny Hoyer (Md.) for the Majority Leader post in 2006 — even as many in her Caucus were distancing themselves from him.
Those close to Pelosi said her support for Murtha was based in large part on simple loyalty. Murtha was one of the key architects behind Pelosi's rise in leadership and one of her most trusted lieutenants. Throughout multiple investigations regarding earmarks for companies in his district, Murtha maintained his innocence, and Pelosi chose to back him rather than isolate him.
But Weiner is not particularly close to the California Democrat, nor much of the Caucus.
"He's an independent operator," a senior Democratic aide said, noting that Weiner has never fallen into either Pelosi's or Hoyer's spheres of influence.
"He kind of does his own thing," one Democratic strategist agreed. "I think it is one of the reasons why he is in this predicament. He doesn't listen to many of his colleagues, and he doesn't listen to staff."
Even in the case of former Rep. Eric Massa (D-N.Y.) — who was brought down by allegations of sexual harassment — Pelosi opted to take a decidedly hands-off approach. While she was apprised of his inappropriate conduct with male staff, she ultimately left the handling of the scandal to Hoyer. Massa resigned several days later.
To be sure, Democrats have not always used kid gloves when it comes to those accused of ethics missteps. Democrats in the past have made it a practice to strip committee assignments from Members under federal investigation, but when Pelosi was Speaker, she seemed to struggle to force lawmakers to resign from their seats.
Still, Democrats said they are pleased with how Pelosi has dealt with the Weiner situation.
"I think she's handled this very well," Democratic lobbyist John Michael Gonzalez said. "Other than wagging her finger, I don't know what else she could do."
"In the minority, we just can't let these kind of issues weigh us down," one Democratic lobbyist said. "We've got to act quickly."
Pelosi may be taking a lesson from Speaker John Boehner. The Ohio Republican has had little patience for ethical missteps in his rank and file. Rep. Chris Lee (R-N.Y.), for instance, resigned within hours after shirtless photos that he sent to a woman he met on Craigslist were uncovered in February. While Boehner has said that he did not speak to Lee, it is an example of how GOP lawmakers have moved to try to get away from the "culture of corruption" reputation they gained during DeLay's tenure.
Boehner hasn't ousted everyone with ethical problems, however. He did allow freshman Rep. David Rivera (Fla.) to maintain his position as he faced charges of personal and campaign corruption.
Pelosi's action may be for naught. Weiner has continued to maintain that he will not resign, and ethics experts are undecided over whether his behavior would rise to expulsion from the House.
"It's going to be a letter of admonition unless they find out more," said Melanie Sloan of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington. "I think they're going to be stretching. ... Every time a staffer picks up a phone to make weekend plans, you can't have that as a misuse of official resources."
Additionally, Sloan said it could be "risky" to go after general sexual inappropriateness since there have been allegations against other Members in the past.
Still, ethics lawyer Stefan Passantino noted that the ethics process is political, which could work against Weiner.
"Even if it's shown that there wasn't another violation, the mere discredit he's brought to the House is enough to be a violation," McKenna Long & Aldridge's Passantino said. "At the end of the day, the Members tend to look at the public mood and there is a long process gauging how much or how little the public will tolerate depending on who is controlling the House."

Pedro Ramirez Vazquez, an architect who changed the face of Mexico City by designing a number of landmark modernist structures, died on Tuesday, his 94th birthday.
The cause was pneumonia, according to Mexico's National Council for Culture and the Arts.
Ramirez Vazquez was known for stunningly original designs that blended a European modernist sensibility with pre-Columbia aesthetics.
His most famous modernist buildings, all in Mexico City, include the Basilica of Guadalupe, one of the country's holiest shrines; the National Museum of Anthropology, distinguished by a vast, square concrete umbrella; and Azteca Stadium, open since the mid-1960s and home to Mexico's national soccer team.
The sweeping, curvy lines of the basilica and the cantilevered central pavilion of the anthropology museum became hallmarks of Mexico's modernist architectural boom, led by noted architect Luis Barragan and others from the 1940s to the '70s.
In a Twitter post, arts council president Rafael Tovar y de Teresa said "Mexico has suffered a great loss" and called Ramirez Vazquez "one of the greats of our culture."
The son of a bookseller, Ramirez Vazquez was born April 16, 1919, in Mexico City and became fascinated by architecture while visiting the Acropolis in Greece as a teenager.
After studying architecture at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, or UNAM, he oversaw building conservation for the Ministry of Education from 1947 to 1958. His design for a pre-fabricated school resulted in 35,000 of the low-cost structures being built in rural areas, according to the reference "Contemporary Architects."
The Mexican government also commissioned Ramirez Vazquez to design pavilions for three World's Fairs — Brussels in 1958, Seattle in 1962 and New York in 1964.
As chairman of the Mexican Olympic Organizing Committee, he helped bring the Summer Games to the country in 1968, marketing them as a showcase for the modernization of Mexico and emphasizing that the country was a land of peace.
But his Olympic legacy was marred when soldiers massacred student protesters at the Plaza of the Three Cultures in the Tlatelolco area of Mexico City days before the Games. Ramirez Vazquez defended the government crackdown and was criticized along with other officials. Human rights groups have said as many as 350 were killed.
He rejoined the government in the late 1970s, serving as secretary of human settlements and public works until 1982. That year Tijuana opened a $30-million cultural complex he designed with another architect, Manuel Rosen Morrison.
Other significant Mexico City buildings by Ramirez Vazquez include UNAM's school of medicine, a modernist structure on raised stilts; and the Museum of Modern Art, a contemporary circular building featuring large domes and wedge-shaped exhibit areas.
Architecture is "an instrument of social politics," he once said, and "a discipline meant to serve man."
He is survived by his four children: Pedro, Olga Maria, Javier and Gabriella.

Quaker Silent Worship, in Spirit and in Truth
By: Paul Thompson
Christ calls us together to worship God in Spirit and in Truth. It is more a testimony to his authority that we gather, than any decision of ours to be in a certain place at a certain time.
Christ promises to be with us when we meet in his name, and tells us to ask God for what we need, in his name. It is important that we know what this means. It is not that we simply call ourselves his people, get together, and voice requests. In Jewish culture, within which Jesus taught during his mortal ministry, to invoke a name is to invoke the power behind that name.
Therefore when we meet to worship, we surrender our own will and purpose to that of our Shepherd, Christ. He calls each of us by name, and draws us into the fold.
In that safety, we wait in silence. It is not a vacant, listless silence, if we are prepared to let goof our concerns and busy thoughts, even thoughts about things which we have convinced ourselves need praying about! The physical silence becomes, under that steadying divine hand, a deep, worshipful stillness.
In that stillness, we are prepared to feel God's Holy Spirit at work amongst us. It is this Spirit that gathers us together, and which takes over the ordering of the worship.
The Spirit may move someone to speak or preach, which is an uplifting experience, both for speaker and listener; far more so than any prepared sermon, however instructive. Someone may be moved to pray out loud, praying in the grip of the Holy Spirit; this is true prayer, far more than following a pattern of words or the direction of a human authority would be
The Spirit may bring someone to their feet to praise or sing. They will have said to God, "open thou my lips", as did the psalmist, which is far more praise than a hymn number on a board.
This meeting together for worship, our first testimony to Christ's leadership of our lives, leads to all our other testimonies, by which we bear witness to his authority.
As we have gathered, so we are eventually allowed to go. The worship ends, and we return to other things. What we take with us from our meeting, is the knowledge that Christ is our constant guide, the Light that shines upon all who enter the world. Worship continues throughout our daily lives, maybe at a different level, making us his disciples, his friends, the living stones of his church.

Greenpeace activists protest against GMO's in front of EU-parliament, during a meeting on GMO's
The German Minister for Food, Agriculture and Consumer Protection, Ilse Aigner, said "I have come to the conclusion that there are legitimate grounds to accept that genetically modified corn from the MON810 strain constitutes a danger to the environment."
MON810 is mostly cultivated in the EU for animal feed - and is now due for re-authorisation under EU rules after the expiry of its ten-year license. Besides Germany, five countries have already banned the planting of it: France, Greece, Austria, Hungary and most recently, Luxembourg.
Any government that seriously examines the risks associated with growing this maize can only reach one rational conclusion: it must be banned. Instead of trying to force countries to lift national bans on this crop, the European Commission needs to face the reality of scientific findings. We're calling on Commissioner Dimas to stop the re-authorisation of Monsanto's maize in the EU.
The recent announcement from the German Agriculture Minister has resulted in our phones ringing off the hook. An EU ban on this maize is something we have been working towards for years and having the two strongest countries in the EU, France (as of last year) and now Germany, agreeing on ban has brought us a lot closer to our goal. This is a victory for the environment, for consumers and farmers who want to avoid GE crops as well as for independent science.
Scientific studies have demonstrated that the pesticide-producing MON810 maize, has negative effects on the environment and on biodiversity. The Minister based her decision on a safeguard clause in EU law which allows Member States to use the precautionary principle and prohibit gentically modified organisms (GMOs) in light of new evidence. Aigner's decision sends a powerful message to bio-tech corporations like Monsanto against taking control of our global food chain.
In another bid to control our food, Bayer, the German chemical giant is hoping to get EU approval for the import of their GE rice variety LL62. Most countries have shied away from allowing risky experimentation with rice - the world's most important staple crop and at present, no GE rice is grown commercially anywhere in the world. Bayer has genetically manipulated rice to withstand higher doses of a toxic pesticide called glufosinate, which is considered to be so dangerous to humans and the environment that it will soon be banned from Europe.
In the coming weeks, the European Union will also decide whether or not this GE rice can enter EU countries, appear on supermarket shelves and end up on our dinner plates. If the European Union approves the import of Bayer GE rice, farmers in the US and elsewhere may soon start planting the manipulated crop. Keeping rice GE-free is not just about consumer choice or the environment - it's a lot bigger than that. It's a matter of global food security, human rights and survival.
We hope that governments around the world will follow the examples of countries like Germany and France and ban all risky GMOs.
Ask all governments around the world to protect consumers and farmers, their crops and fields by rejecting Bayer's GE rice, and stopping GE rice field trials.
Our vision of a GMO-free future is only as strong as the people who support us. Join Greenpeace today and add your voice to the movement that's committed to defending our food and planet. Your support will make all the difference.

Here's the assignment:
I. The Term Class
Create a class to represent a term in an algebraic expression. As defined here, a term consists of an integer coefficient and a nonnegative integer exponent. E.g.
• in the term 4x2, the coefficient is 4 and the exponent 2
• in -6x8, the coefficient is -6 and the exponent 8
Your class will have a constructor that creates a Term object with a coefficient and exponent passed as parameters, and accessor methods that return the coefficient and the exponent
II. The Polynomial Class
Now create a class to represent a polynomial. As defined here, a polynomial is a sequence of terms. E.g.
1. 3x2 + 4x4 + x6
2. 2 + 5x2 + 6x3 + 2x7
3. 4x10
The terms of polynomial 1 are (3,2), (4,4) and (1,6). The terms of polynomial 2 are (2,0), (5,2), (6,3) and (2,7). Polynomial 3 has only one term (4,10)
To receive credit for this assignment, your class must use a generic "ArrayList of Term" to store the terms of a Polynomial object
Your class will have a constructor that creates an empty list and additional methods to do each of the following:
1. insert a new term in its proper place in a polynomial (see "Additional Specifications," below)
2. return all the terms of a polynomial as a single line string, as shown here:
3x^2 + 4x^4 + x^6
3. delete a term from a polynomial (see "Additional Specifications," below)
4. compute and return the product of all the terms of a polynomial
5. reverse the order of the terms in a polynomial (see "Additional Specifications," below)
III. The Test Class
The main method of your test class will create a Polynomial object and then read and process a series of operations until end of file.
The operations are:
Insert a new term with coefficient X and exponent Y into its proper place in the polynomial
Remove the term with coefficient X and exponent Y from the polynomial
Reverse the order of the terms of the polynomial
Compute and return the product of all the terms
Each operation is to be carried out by calling a method of the Polynomial class
Each operation read must be "echo printed" to the screen
After each operation, print the updated polynomial by calling the toString() method
For the PRODUCT operation, print the string returned
My professor said I should get started on the test class first and he gave this algorithm:
while (! end of file)
get the next operation
call the method that handles it
call toString to print the updated list
Although the operations are to be read from a file, get started now by having the user enter them. Input files will be covered next class. You only need to enter one of each (INSERT X Y, DELETE X Y, REVERSE, PRODUCT) to verify that you are doing this correctly. Then, you can start implementing the methods of the Polynomial class, and implementing the Term class.
This is what I have so far
import java.util.Scanner ; import javax.swing.JOptionPane; /* * To change this template, choose Tools | Templates * and open the template in the editor. */ /** * * @author John */ public class PolynomialTest { public static void main(String[] args) { Polynomial Poly = new Polynomial(); String input = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter coefficient and exponent" + "\nseparated by spaces."); while(input != null) { Scanner scan = new Scanner(input); int coefficient = scan.nextInt(); int exponent = scan.nextInt(); Term next = new Term(coefficient, exponent); Poly.insert(next); input = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter next coefficent and exponent"); } } }
This assignment completely has me stuck. Any help or nudge in the right direction is much apreciated.

This article contains lore taken from Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness, Warcraft II: Beyond the Dark Portal, the manuals, and official bonus maps.
With his Paladins keeping vigilant watch over the northlands, the Archbishop's assistant Uther Lightbringer of Lordaeron has come to offer comfort to those who are suffering the misfortunes of war.
Lord Lothar has entrusted you with the protection of the Paladins' Commander and his entourage as they travel to the island township of Caer Darrow.
- Escort the Lightbringer to the Circle of Power at Caer Darrow.
Milan's commander had decided to attempt a bold maneuver. Spies had reported that their land forces may not have been able to deal with the heavily fortified orcish settlement that separates them from Lightbringer, so they endeavored to clear the seas of ships and trust Fate to deliver him safely to the Circle. Their first task was to assemble all of their warships into a tight cluster; then they sent a single fast destroyer south to draw out the enemy ships guarding the way to Caer Darrow. Once those had been eliminated, they decided not to risk doing the same with the traitorous elven destroyers beyond the gauntlet of cannonw towers, for they were quite a bit smarter than orcs and would perceive their trap. Intead, two more Horde destroyers were drawn out of the other passage to Uther and were sunk, leaving the sea lanes mostly open.
Their four transports were then prepared for a dangerous mission. All unnecessary deck hands were invited to stay safely ashore with the troops. These four ships then set out unescorted toward Lightbringer. They sent their prayers after them, knowing that not all of them would return. As they sailed quickly through the Gauntlet, the cannon towers could not reload fast enough to hit them at all; all four arrived, damaged but still sea worthy. Uther boarded the strongest of the four and prepared to sail back. His transport was placed in the middle in the hope that the lead and trailing ships would draw most of the cannon fire. The plan worked, they praised the Gods, but two of the four sank below the waves.
With Uther safely among the warships, their entire flotilla set out directly for Caer Darrow. With so many targets, the second gauntlet could not possibly stop them at all. Even the enemy battleship near their goal was too busy with their warships to notice the transports sneaking past. As soon as Uther's craft landed, he raced for the Circle of Power and stood with upraised hands. Boiling thunderheads soon filled the sky and unleashed bolts of lightning on the elven craft, utterly destroying them. With the forces of Nature on their side, the remaining Horde forces quickly abanonded their cause and retreated. Milan believed, Fate had smiled on them once again, and the seed of hope had firmly taken route.[1] (W2ToDOSG 126, 127)

I am using ESRI based GIS software, Postgresql/PostGIS/ArcSDE DB and we have a Mincom Ellipse asset management system.
Currently our all our spatial information regarding asset sites have been recorded as points, this has been versatile for the fact that it accommodates mapping at various scales. Now that we are integrating our Asset Management System with our GIS database the asset management guys want the GIS features to reflect the structure e.g A building footprint as a polygon instead of a point.
My question in terms of the spatial data management. Should I be maintaining two sets of data? One for the asset representations and then one for various mapping tasks?
Thanks DB

opium, substance derived by collecting and drying the milky juice in the unripe seed pods of the opium poppy, Papaver somniferum. Opium varies in color from yellow to dark brown and has a characteristic odor and a bitter taste. Its chief active principle is the alkaloid morphine, a narcotic. Other constituents are the alkaloids codeine, papaverine, and noscapine (narcotine); heroin is synthesized from morphine. Morphine, heroin, and codeine are addicting drugs; papaverine and noscapine are not. A tincture of opium is called laudanum; paregoric is a mixture of opium, alcohol, and camphor.

Dee of St. Mary's is your one chance on the Western Shore
Shanghaied into labor, two able-bodied passengers grapple a stout line hand over hand to hoist the 2,000-square-foot Dacron mainsail of the skipjack Dee of St. Mary's up her 72-foot tree-trunk mast. Then First Mate John Fulchiron crawls out on the 19-foot bowsprit to raise the smaller jib. And off Dee goes.
At 10 knots per hour, she is not a speedster. But passengers hold onto their hats as the fresh breeze moves the 56-foot-long boat through the humid air of an August afternoon. Captain Ed Bahniuk steers Dee out of Solomons harbor into the Patuxent River. The waters part under her thrust.
Every class of boat tells the story of its era, and every boat of every class has its own story.
|First Mate John Fulchiron provides an intro to crabs, crab pots and oysters for passengers aboard the skipjack Dee of St. Mary's. <<
photo by Sue Kullen>>
As a skipjack, Dee is one of a fleet fashioned in the late 19th century to more economically dredge a diminishing oyster harvest. Beauty was a byproduct of the efficiency of the long-bowsprited, flat-sterned, low-riding sailboats. Hundreds were built, almost all on the Eastern Shore.
It's been many years since skipjacks like Dee were efficient. Crews drop from the skipjack's five or six to one or two. Oysters went scarce. Motorized oyster boats put skipjacks out of business. The last of the working fleet was built in the middle of the 20th century.
As the last commercial sailing fleet in the United States, skipjacks made the National Trust for Historic Preservation 2002 list of America's 11 Most Endangered Historic Places. Perhaps three dozen survive, some in private ownership, some in museums.
Among skipjacks, Dee's history is unique.
In the late 1970s, Jack Russell — a prospering seafood merchant up the Potomac River on St. George's Island — commissioned a skipjack. Boatwright Francis Goddard finished his work in 1979. Russell christened his boat Dee after his wife.
Skipjacks had always been Eastern Shore boats. Dee was only the second to be built on the Western Shore, according to a mid-1980s survey by the Maryland Historical Trust.
"I'd been a waterman all my life, patent tonging, shaft tonging, all the stuff," Russell told Bay Weekly. "Building a skipjack was getting my doctoral degree in the waterman's business."
Russell worked his boat for a decade, dredging oysters down the Bay from north to south "ahead of the ice."
Russell next shifted Dee from commerce to education, taking students sailing, dredging for oysters, walking the beaches to pick up trash and recycling.
A waterman with a University of Maryland degree in government, Russell manages a double life in community, regional and waterways policy making. Since 2006, he has been president of St. Mary's County's Board of Commissioners. To support Dee and its work, Russell formed a nonprofit, the Chesapeake Bay Field Lab.
But a wooden boat needs constant and costly upkeep.
In 2009, Dee was still sailing, one of only a handful of skipjacks certified to carry passengers. By 2010, keeping her afloat took an $85,000 emergency grant from the Southern Maryland Heritage Area Consortium.
Over two years and with another $57,000 Heritage grant, Dee was "hauled out of the water and substantially rebuilt."
For a decade her foundation searched for a home that could maintain and use her. In 2012, Calvert Marine Museum adopted Dee.
"I've never seen anybody happier to give away a boat," said Sherrod Sturrock, the museum's deputy director. "She was built on the Western Shore, and with us she stays here."
In Solomons, Dee joined a fleet of historic boats and a sister historic tour boat, the bugeye Wm. B. Tennison.
She also found a workforce able to keep up with her many needs. Over the past year, the museum's Patuxent Small Craft Guild has been hard at work, cleaning, painting and working as crew.
• • •
Dee made her maiden voyage July 27, with her second voyage scheduled for Saturday, August 10. Passenger cruises will continue monthly; most of her time belongs to students.
As Dee made big circles in the river, passengers enjoyed a couple of lulling hours on the water and First Mate Fulchiron's introduction to crabs, crab pots and oysters. Dee's five-man volunteer crew can tell you all about her, but you'll need to ask. Skipjack lore is not yet a routine part of the program.

Post-game Press Conference Video
CARY, N.C. – No. 4 Georgia College & State University baseball (41-16) pounded out 10 hits and a tournament-best nine runs en route to a 9-4 win over No. 3 University of Central Missouri (52-11) Wednesday, advancing to the next round of the Division II College World Series.
The win advances the Bobcats to the final four of this year's Division II Championships. Georgia College will take on No. 9-ranked University of Southern Indiana Thursday, May 27 at 3 p.m.
Senior righthander Brendon Malkowski (Schenectady, N.Y.) entered in the fourth and went the rest of the way, allowing just two hits and no walks while fanning nine. The six innings of work was the most for the reliever Malkowski (6-1) since April 3.
"I had the fastball working for me again," said Malkowski. "I got one strikeout on a split change, but the rest was the fastball. I felt great."
Head coach Tom Carty remarked on the big righty's effort in relief.
"Brendon was huge for us today," said Carty. "He's a guy that can throw the fastball upstairs on purpose, he rises through the zone well. We've been working with him on setting up hitters low in the zone, making that high fastball that much more effective."
The Bobcats jumped out in front with a pair in the bottom of the first, when leftfielder Kyle Allen (Conyers, Ga.) led the game with a single, scoring on rightfielder Shawn Ward's (Martinez, Ga.) single. Ward later came around himself on a Mule error.
After the Mules took a 4-3 lead in the top of the third thanks to a four-hit inning, the Bobcats responded in a big way, putting four runs across. Third baseman Steve Muoio (Rochester, N.Y.) started the scoring with an RBI single, plating Allen who tripled. Ward then scored another run with a sacrifice fly. After an out, catcher Richard Pirkle (Norcross, Ga.) ripped a two run blast to left field for a 6-4 lead.
"Momentum is one of the biggest factors in team sports in my mind," said Ward of taking the lead right back from the Mules in the third. "We hadn't had the bats going for quite a while and it was nice to finally support all of this great pitching we've been given."
While Malkowski was throwing up goose-eggs, the bats continued to stretch the lead. Ward's sacrifice fly in the fifth made it 7-4, while a pinch-hit solo home run by Andrew Evans (Milledgeville, Ga.) made it 8-4 in the sixth. Centerfielder Sean Harrell (Martinez, Ga.) capped the scoring with a sacrifice fly in the eighth.
Ward finished 2-for-2 with three RBI and a run, while Allen scored twice on a 2-for-4 day. Muoio was also 2-for-4 with one RBI. Harrell scored twice and drove in one on a 1-for-1 day, tallying a pair of walks and two sacrifices.
Mule starter Mitch Stubenhoffer (3-1) suffered his first loss of the season, not making it out of the third inning. He allowed five earned runs on five hits and a walk. At bat, shortstop Bret Schwartz was the only multi-hit performer at 2-for-3.

Congress Woman Introduces Bill to Ban All Credit Default Swaps
I'm a little late to this story, but last week Congresswoman Maxine Waters introduced a bill to ban all credit default swaps.
As Waters said:
Preventing all credit-default swaps is essential to bringing stability to the market and preventing a similar crisis in the future.
Many top experts – including nobel prize winning economists and numerous other well-known PhD economists – agree.
Indeed, just today, Credit Sights published a report documenting – as I have previously pointed out – that CDS drive companies into bankruptcy.
But aren't Obama's new regulation of CDS good enough?
I have repeatedly argued that they aren't.
But don't listen to me. Satyajit Das is one of the world's top credit default swap experts. Yves Smith says of Das:
Satyajit Das is a hard core derivatives expert, having worked with them in enough markets and enough vantage points to be very well versed . . .
This is Das' area, and if he says it's an issue, it is …
Today, Das wrote an essay arguing that the new credit default swap regulations not only won't help stabilize the economy, they might actually help to destabilize it.
Indeed, the only people that are for CDS and the current half-baked regulations are the handful of giant banks that are making a killing from them. Everyone else is against them (indeed, the economy is the thing "being killed").
Call your Congress member and demand he or she support Waters' bill to ban all credit default swaps.

Enormously Appealing Lakeside Summer Cottage
The living is easy at a Wisconsin summer home
A winding flagstone path leads to the cottage nestled among giant white pines and birches in the northern Wisconsin woods. With its rusty metal roof, red-painted trim, and chink-and-log siding, it looks like a stop for Goldilocks.
Step inside, however, and the story line takes an unexpected and sophisticated twist. Rather than three chairs and bowls of porridge, visitors to Jim and Sue Bakke's lakeside guesthouse are greeted by a 14-foot-long Asian wood table, curved walnut-and-quartzite bar, and a lighted jukebox playing the latest hits.
The 2,265-square-foot main level is an easygoing, wide-open area designed for good times. "Jim and Sue wanted this to be a fun space," says Mick De Giulio, Chicago designer and friend of the Bakkes. "Nothing could be too serious or fussy," he adds.
Lake Manitowish has lured Jim and Sue each summer for all of their 33 years of marriage, offering a calm respite from their busy lives in Madison, Wisconsin. Jim is president and CEO of Sub-Zero Wolf appliances, and Sue is involved in countless community and their children's activities. Nineteen years ago, the Bakkes built a log-style vacation home on the lake four hours north of Madison as a place to relax and enjoy summers with their three children, Robbie, Samantha, and Bryan—now 26, 23, and 18.
As the kids grew up, the lake house began feeling crowded, especially when the teenagers invited friends for a weekend. "We got to the point where all of the bedrooms were full," Sue says. Plus, many of Jim and Sue's friends were buying vacation homes in the area, and the Bakkes' parties could easily attract 20 or more guests.
Jim turned to De Giulio for advice, and the two men headed north in Jim's pickup to check out the snow-covered site. Suggestions evolved from adding to the existing house (Sue said "no way") to finally settling on building a separate, modest-sized two-level structure that could serve as both a party venue and guesthouse.
De Giulio devised a main-level floor plan that would allow for easy movement around a bar and into cozy seating centered on a stone fireplace. "The way in which the curve of the bar moves into the space invites people to walk around and move into the area," De Giulio says. One end of the bar is open so guests can step behind it and easily serve themselves. Large windows span the bar's length, giving guests seated there postcard views of the lake while enjoying a cold Wisconsin brew.
Ceilings are vaulted for a sense of spaciousness and defined with heavy salvaged timbers. "We wanted a light and airy feel, and to let in a lot of natural light from the lake side," notes De Giulio. The boards between the beams were sealed and given a crackle finish for a "soft, milk-parlor look," says Fred Wiedenbaur, formerly a project manager for Benson Builders, which built the home.
The space's centerpiece is a massive dining table, a 50-year-old slice of wood from a Balinese lychee tree, which De Giulio mounted on a wood-and-bronze trestle base. "We wanted to break away from a North Woods look, so here we're using a piece of Asian wood," he explains. A ceiling panel painted with a Navajo-inspired motif is suspended above, grounding the table and adding a sense of intimacy, he adds.
The dining area opens to the kitchen, which is light and casual with butternut wood cabinets stained a cream color. Saddle-style stools with cowhide seats mosey up to a zinc countertop.
When De Giulio spotted red glass tiles at the Chicago Merchandise Mart, he immediately nabbed them for the Bakkes' project. "Red is Sue's favorite color, and she wanted that feeling of fun and the unexpected," he says. The triangular tiles have "just the suggestion of a tepee, but nothing too obvious."
Manitowish interior designer Veronica McGraw went on the hunt for furnishings and fabrics, mindful of Sue's vision. "Sue told me two things when she asked me to do the job," McGraw says. "First, she wanted the house to be fun, and second, that her favorite color is red." McGraw heeded both points.
On the front porch, the designer created an irresistible snoozing zone, covering a twin bed with black-and-white ticking fabric and piling it with red pillows edged with black-and-white fringe. Wiedenbaur's construction skills were tapped to safely suspend it and create a delightful swinging bed.
The builders also heeded Sue's love of red, painting exterior window and door trim with the warm hue. The porch roof is corrugated sheet metal that was treated with chemicals to prematurely age it for a red rust finish. "It rusts to a certain level and then stops the rusting process," explains Wiedenbaur.
While the main level is all about entertaining (except for Jim's office next to the dining nook), the lower level comfortably accommodates overnight guests, with two bedrooms, baths, and an open sitting area. The back portion of the house was excavated to create deep window wells that allow plenty of natural light inside and outdoor views. "It doesn't feel like a lower level at all," De Giulio says.
The cottage is a standard stick-frame construction, so most of the rough-hewn beams are decorative rather than structural (save one vertical beam in the center of the space). Half logs were applied to exterior and interior walls for a log-home look, but that doesn't mean the home lacks authenticity. Salvaged heart pine was laid down for floors, and the builders used moss- and lichen-covered stones, which they found in nearby fields, for the fireplace surround and foundation walls. Entry and interior doors and lower-level bath vanities were constructed with salvaged barn boards for a casual and gently aged look.
"The entire property is really magical," De Giulio says. "It's one of those projects that just sings."

Zinc Countertops with Artisan Details
In the kitchen area, zinc is bent over the sides of the countertop and fastened with nailheads. "The idea is having elements that are more handcrafted and not so perfect," De Giulio says.
Cabinet Corner
Sub-Zero refrigerators and freezers are faced with carved door panels in a woven-wood pattern. A creamy glaze on cabinets with grooved insets keeps the space feeling light and casual.
Artistic Range with Custom Hood
The custom-designed barrel-shaped hood above the Wolf range looks like zinc but is actually stainless steel in what designer Mick De Giulio calls an "angel hair" finish. "It gives a more muted look to stainless steel." The hood has a stovepipe on one end "just for effect," the designer adds.
Colorful Range Backsplash
Glass tiles from Artistic Tile add a splash of color behind the range.
Cozy Dining and Game Nook
Near the shuffleboard table, the nook with a lychee wood tabletop is a favorite spot for card and board games. Often Sue enjoys a cup of coffee there while watching wildlife.

Built for Entertaining
De Giulio designed the deep stone bar sink so it can be filled with ice and beverages when the Bakkes entertain. The bronze-finish faucet is from Rocky Mountain Hardware. Rich brown countertops in the bar's work area "look like petrified wood," the designer points out, "blending into the landscape and the rest of the home's wood finishes."
Metallic Touches
The bar area is well equipped with several Sub-Zero glass-door beverage refrigerators and lighted wine chillers. De Giulio trimmed them with walnut frames and added hefty 1920s-looking chrome-plated latches.
Industrial-Chic Bar Lighting
Light fixtures above the bar from Italian maker Aldo Bernardi have glass shades over exposed filament bulbs for an old-fashioned feel.

The course content is integrative and practical, particularly for social and commercial startups. The delivery of the content is highly interactive.
Seed Stage Due-Diligence for Impact Investors
Instructor: Paul Breloff, Founder and Managing Director of Accion Venture Lab
This course will cover the process and techniques used to find, assess and invest in seed-stage impact investments. This course will dive deep into the full investment life-cycle in impact investing, with particular attention paid to the unique challenges of investing in startups, often including the lack of financial history or market data, unproven business models or customer demand, unsettled regulatory contexts, and first-time entrepreneurs. At each step of the process, from sourcing to screening and analysis to actually doing the deal, we will discuss both the theory as well as the practice through real-life examples and case studies. The course will culminate in group-based analyses of particular opportunities and the chance to decide whether we should invest and how we should get the deal done.
Scaling High-Impact Social Enterprise
Instructor: Miguel Granier, Managing Director, Invested Development
This course focuses on key challenges and methods in scaling a social enterprise from seed stage to growth —from a funder's perspective. The course will address blended capital (public/private/grant), corporate partnerships, hiring and team-building strategies, partner selection methods, and will draw from case studies of leading emerging market enterprises, including Husk Power Systems, d.light design, IntelleGrow, and GroFin.
Profiling Ventures for Impact Investing
Instructors: Amit Sharma, Co-Founder of Empowerment Capital
This workshop focuses on the development of value-based assessment and ratings criteria to assess impact and related-initiatives, including investing, corporate/commercial activities, and social venture creation. The course begins with a review of the current universe of systems of environmental, social and governance ratings (ESG ratings and analytics), including those commonly used in impact investing such as GIIRS. They are compared with the commercial financial rating systems and associated business models. The common challenges to both the ESG and commercial financial ratings and analytics are highlighted with a view to understand the complexity of understanding "impact risks" more comprehensively, and in a manner that enables greater involvement by mainstream financial participants and stores of capital. This workshop offers participants an opportunity to develop a more comprehensive solution to impact analytics and management, brainstorm potential solutions, and share the visions for a new ecosystem that can be implemented and modeled by the Frontier Market Scouts program. Fellows will also walk through the development of Impact Venture Profiles during their time in the field to assist in the above effort, facilitate appropriate and sustainable data capture of social ventures working with their counterparts, and provide for a final case deliverable for their FMS participation.

Denver Nuggets forward Kenneth Faried appears in a video with his two mothers, who entered into a civil union in New Jersey in 2007, advocating the passage of a civil-unions law in Colorado.
"Nobody can ever tell me I can't have two mothers because I really do," Faried says in the YouTube clip, which was posted Friday.
Faried's two mothers, Carol and Waudda, have been together for 11 years. Waudda has lupus. In the video, they say civil-union protections have helped Carol care for her partner.
The video by One-Colorado.org is advocating for the passage of Colorado Senate Bill 11, which would allow gay couples to enter civil unions.
The bill has passed a Senate committee and is heading to appropriations.
Faried and his mothers were videotaped at One Colorado's Session Party, an event that kicked off the legislative session and celebrated the historic number of openly lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender legislators in office this year.
"I really do support civil unions because it gives people, gays and lesbians, the right to make decisions on their own," Faried says.
If passed, Colorado's civil-unions bill will provide committed gay and lesbian couples with legal protections and responsibilities, such as the ability to take family leave to care for a partner, to make medical and end-of-life decisions for a partner, to live together in a nursing home and to adopt children together.

Currently I'm following almost 2k users on Twitter, I wish to review my followings and remove some of them, but it's very time consuming to check all of those one by one!
Basically I need to unfollow these users:
- Who are not active anymore and have no tweets in last 2 month.
- Who unfollowed me.
- Users that appears that their account got hacked, and who send spammy DMs.
It would be very useful if I could have a list to see users profile, website, their last tweet and an unfollow button, all next to each other. is there any trustworthy ready-to-use application available or can I make something with Twitter API?
