I know he's rolling but he's thrown a lot of innings lately, I wouldn't let him throw too many tonight.
Anyone know what his pitch count is up to?
Yea I'd let him go another inning and get him outta there, lets hope the bullpen isn't bad tonight since the offense has let Volquez shut them down.
Yeah, promising inning yielded nothing. Still loving Latos' last three outings.

Real estate experts say uses are limited for August Wilson Center suitorsJanuary 23, 2014 10:33 PM
Investors might not line up to buy the August Wilson Center for African American Culture even if a former U.S. bankruptcy court judge gets the go ahead to sell it.
Interest in the Downtown property with the distinctive sailboat feature may be limited, given that it was built solely as a performing arts, exhibition and educational venue, real estate experts said Thursday.
"I don't know how big of a market there is for that kind of space," said Gerry McLaughlin, executive managing director of the Newmark Grubb Knight Frank real estate firm. "Like any single-purpose building, I've got to believe that it will not be easy to turn it into something else."
Conservator Judith Fitzgerald is expected to go before Allegheny County Common Pleas Orphans' Court Judge Lawrence O'Toole today to seek permission to convert her role to a liquidating receiver as a first step toward selling the facility, opened in 2009.
Judge O'Toole appointed Ms. Fitzgerald as conservator in November as part of a bid to save the center after it defaulted on its $7 million mortgage to Dollar Bank and faced a possible foreclosure.
In an interim report issued Tuesday, Ms. Fitzgerald recommended a sale to pay off the mortgage and other outstanding debt. She said there is "simply no possibility of continued viability of AWC as it currently exists" given a lack of operating support.
While Ms. Fitzgerald has no formal offers on the building, she said Thursday that she has confidentiality agreements with a number of organizations. Some, she said, are not-for-profits, though she declined to provide more information. She would not say whether any of those who have signed confidentiality agreements are for-profit groups.
Ms. Fitzgerald has said her first choice in a buyer is someone interested in keeping it as a cultural center. That is probably the best option, real estate experts said, noting that converting the space for another use might not be easy.
"It's very tough to take a special use building and turn it into something other than what it was intended for," Mr. McLaughlin said.
In fact, Aaron Stauber, president of New Rochelle, N.Y.-based Rugby Realty, which has extensive property holdings Downtown, said the most valuable part of the property may be the land itself.
While Mr. Stauber believes the Liberty Avenue site would be a great location for offices, a hotel or apartments, he doesn't think the center lends itself to such projects.
For developers interested in converting the space, the best strategy probably is to demolish the building and start anew, he said. He thought it would be too expensive to try to add onto the existing space.
"You literally would be better off knocking down that structure and building," he said. "It would be less expensive than jury-rigging it."
One real estate firm that has explored possible hotel, office, and residential uses at the center is Downtown's Beynon & Co.
Richard Beynon, the company's president, said he sees potential to build on top of the current facility and perhaps to incorporate the center into a mixed-use development.
"I believe there would be an opportunity to make use of the lower level of the existing structure that could be worked into a mixed-use project as opposed to razing it all and developing it for a different use," he said.
While the company has explored a development at the site, Mr. Beynon declined to say what the current status of that investigation is. He said ideally he would like to see the August Wilson Center remain as it is, though he added that might require subsidies.
Peter Sukernek, vice president and general manager of Howard Hanna Commercial Real Estate Services, sees either the Pittsburgh Public Schools or the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust as the perfect owners for the building.
He said the district, whose board has been exploring a possible purchase, could use the center in conjunction with its Pittsburgh CAPA 6-12 performing arts middle and high school Downtown, while the trust could use it as an extension of its own programming.
While he agreed the building might be of interest to hotel or office developers, Mr. Sukernek said he wasn't sure that it would be possible to build on top of the existing structure.
"I see a more limited type of audience for somebody that can use that existing building and provide revenue from its operation in order to pay for it," Mr. Sukernek said.
At the same time, Allegheny County Executive Rich Fitzgerald said that he and Mayor Bill Peduto have been trying to craft a plan "that might make sense for the August Wilson Center moving forward."
"We've been working behind the scenes to put together a plan for the future. It's still in the works," added Kevin Acklin, Mr. Peduto's chief of staff.
Mr. Fitzgerald said the elected officials have been talking to major local foundations, the corporate and African-American communities and others in an effort to develop a rescue strategy. But he added that the center faces "severe challenges."
"We're hopeful," he said.
Ms. Fitzgerald, no relation to the executive, is interested in talking to him. "I hope he does have a great plan, and I would love to participate in it if he does," she said.

Steely Dan Sued By Former Singer (A Top Story)
Palmer recorded lead vocals on the tracks Dirty Work and Brooklyn (Owes The Charmer Under Me) for the 1972 release, and also performed backing vocals for a number of other songs. He fronted the band while they toured in support of the album.
After Fagan took over lead vocals he remained with the band to record backing tracks on 1973 album Countdown To Ecstasy, before moving on. Palmer, who now works as a photographer, realised he'd been underpaid when rights organisation AFTRA asked him to confirm whether he was entitled to royalties for his work. - more on this story

By Tiernan Ray
Bernstein Research's Stacy Rasgon today reiterates an Outperform rating on shares of Qualcomm (QCOM), and an $85 price target, arguing that worries about competition in the China market from low-cost chip providers, as well as an ongoing investigation by the government into Qualcomm's practices, should no be a big worry for the company or its shares.
Bears warn of a three-fold threat in the China market, a market that is, Rasgon observes, "potentially a source of significant upside" for Qualcomm.
First, Taiwan's MediaTek (2454TW) and other lower-cost providers could derail Qualcomm's sales, they contend:
MediaTek has demonstrated their ability to gain share in the China market even when they were behind Qualcomm in 3G technology. Currently, MediaTek is poised to have three integrated LTE SoCs in 2H14 at multiple price tiers, with a product roadmap closely following Qualcomm's, including 64 bit offerings (quad-core MT6732 and octa-core MT6752). Investors fear that Qualcomm's ability to capitalize on the LTE transition in China will be hindered by the further presence of competition in the region.
But Rasgon argues Qualcomm maintains a commanding lead in meeting the necessary complexity of the semiconductors required, especially for newer LTE-based smartphones:
Most competitors for the China market are well behind Qualcomm on integration, geometry, and radio technology, and Qualcomm holds the majority of sockets currently certified for use on China Mobile's forthcoming LTE network. Of the primary competitive candidates, MediaTek is likely the most viable (and fierce) competitor, and understands well how to do business in China. However, Qualcomm's challenges on 3G have been, in our opinion, more on marketing to the Chinese consumer than anything else. And, it appears Qualcomm is now getting much more responsive to the demands of Chinese market. Despite previously deriding octa-core chips as a marketing gimmick, Qualcomm is fully embracing the multi-core trends, announcing its own octa-core chip, the Snapdragon 615 (or MSM8939) at the MWC. The chip clearly is aimed to counter MediaTek's success in the octa-core segment, and is targeted at the mid range. Similarly, in another marketing effort Qualcomm is targeting their first 64 bit chip (the Snapdragon 410 MSM8916) designed specifically for the needs of the lower-end China market, delivering high performance into lower end segments at attractive price points.
Bears warn China could bring down Qualcomm's average selling price:
China Mobile expects to have ~200 TD-LTE models this year, with ~100M unit deployments, including some priced around RMB 1,000. Many handset makers have expressed the strong intention to have TD-LTE phones to support China Mobile's deployment pace (Exhibit 7). Many investors fear the rollout of these devices, on top of perceived continued price erosion in the traditional 3G smartphone market, will result in significant erosion of device ASPs and a severe decline in licensing revenues.
Such fears are nothing new, he writes:
Fears of ASP decline have been part and parcel with Qualcomm ever since the "Great ASP Debacle" of 2010. However, mix to emerging markets is not new; QCOM's QTL unit growth has been driven by this shift for years (Exhibit 8). ASPs have increased markedly since that time, even as emerging market growth has substantially outpaced unit growth in developed markets, more than offsetting negative mix as the smartphone cycle continued apace.
Lastly, China's regulators could impose harsh requirements on Qualcomm, the bears argue:
The recent regulatory issues in China, particularly the anti-monopoly case, have caused some angst among investors (though we note the stock itself appears to have weathered it so far). Nevertheless, given the relative lack of transparency there is a fear out there that China is getting ready to hit Qualcomm over the head with a sledgehammer. The recent Lenovo-Motorola deal has added some fuel to the fire as well, with some investors worried that this gives a large Chinese company access to a patent base that will weaken Qualcomm's position. The most bearish out there hold to a view that these are just the tips of the iceberg, eventually leading to an eventual collapse of the patent franchise that Qualcomm has patiently built over the years (and which of course drives the majority of the value of the company).
Rasgon argues Qualcomm can pick up a lot of new royalty payments from a "shadow" economy of smartphones subject to its intellectual property, and that the company is doing more to "engage" with authorities in the country:
As the 4G market, over the next few years, potentially transitions here we would love to see QCOM put a framework in place to capture payments; even if at a lower rate we believe they would still be substantially accretive as this large "shadow volume" of 3G moves over into royalty-bearing mode. We estimate substantial accretive contribution from China Mobile LTE to Qualcomm's royalties as a result, even if it comes at a lower rate. The push toward 5-mode chipsets may help with this [...] Additionally, it appears that Qualcomm is upping their engagement with China. We note recent news that Qualcomm is engaging with SMIC for 28nm products. While Qualcomm has indicated they will be upping their foundry multi-sourcing efforts, we were somewhat surprised to see SMIC mentioned at least in the guise of 28nm, and SMICs inferior capabilities vs. TSMC or Samsung all suggest limited benefits to QCOM from a strict multi-sourcing perspective (benefits on pricing, flex capacity, etc). Benefits to Qualcomm from assuaging China, however, could in theory be much more substantial, and the timing of the newsflow (in the middle of the investigation) suggests other motives may indeed be at play.
Qualcomm shares today are down 44 cents, or 0.6%, at $77.01.

So anyway, I know I moved most of my personal stuff over to diaryland.but I just recieved a really cool email today in reference to ListMistress. For those of you who don;t know me, I'm Trish, kinky geek, and I run a list management site for BDSM related lists (other lists too). Evidently he thinks its a novel idea, my idea is that it would be QueerNet for BDSM
So anyway, was laid off this past week, not too worried, anyone know of any decent jobs in the DC area? I'm moving out of MA as fast as my severance money will take me :) It was a voluntary layoff anyway, I've not been in good health and was biding my time, now I'm recovering and was ready to return to work, and I was offered a nice severance package. I'll take it, "go on.....take the money and run....."

This community-based Diabetes Self-Management Education (DSME) program endeavors to help people with diabetes in the Philippines acquire the knowledge, self-care practices, and attitudes required for the effective management of diabetes. It offers culturally-appropriate, cost-effective, and comprehensive diabetes care by using locally modified educational materials and tapping support from barangay health workers (BHW). This pilot study is part of a long-term, self-sustaining diabetes program which aims at reducing the burden of diabetes by improving physiologic and behavioral parameters. It aspires to be a "model of community diabetes care" throughout the country, ultimately attenuating disparities in health outcomes for underserved Filipinos in the rural community.
Main institution: University of the Philippines – Philippine General Hospital
Principal investigator: Elizabeth Paz-Pacheco
Location of the project: Philippines
Amount allocated:
Date: June 1, 2008 - December 31, 2010
Impact of the project: Modules developed by the IDF Consultative Section on Diabetes Education (DECS) in 2002 were translated into the Filipino language by a bilingual translator from the Center of the Filipino Language (Sentro ng Wikang Filipino) of the University of the Philippines Manila. The translated modules were modified according to the participants' level of knowledge and were used for the diabetes self-management education program.
This project team is now piloting it in several communities in the Philippines.
Presentations and publications:
*Project completed January 2011
BRIDGES (Bringing Research in Diabetes to Global Environments and Systems) is a programme initiated by the International Diabetes Federation, and supported by an educational grant from Lilly Diabetes.

Well, I've decided that I may not be particularly fond of blogging…for two reasons. First, I tend to have a lot more to say as I run out of space (so sequels may be in order), and second, I tend to have more topics invade my brain as I'm trying to finish the thoughts of the current blog. This is a prior invasion…
The joke goes: Well, that's Life… what's Life?… its a cereal…really, how much does it cost?… $2.50…I only have $2.00…well, that's Life. ba dum tsh.
This blog is about life. You see, I am a biologist by training. By definition I am one who studies life. But it is hard to actually define life.
Merriam-Webster defines Life as :the ability to grow, change, etc., that separates plants and animals from things like water or rocks
Now I know that is a definition, but it is really about characteristics of life. We have an easy time telling life from non-life. Does it grow, change, move or just sit there like a rock?
Even children and animals can recognize life, they see a stick on the ground then, whoop! it moves so it could be a snake…
We see the characteristics and know, this is life, but what makes something change from non-life to life? What is the essence of life?
You can't just add electricity (sorry Dr. Frankenstein…), but there is a type of electricity involved with life processes. Some form of DNA/RNA is present in life as we know it. You have to have oxygen, but not all life needs it. And with the organisms that need it, too much harms life. Water is also a necessity, but again too much is a bad thing. It's not a simple recipe.
Scientists have 3 rules of life, called the cell theory.
- The cell is the most basic unit of life.
- All living organisms are composed of one or more cells.
- All cells arise from pre-existing, living cells.
But these are not the essence of life. Scientists don't know how to take a set of non-living chemicals and put them into a cell (the basic unit of life) and make it come alive. Even the right chemical balance taken out of the cell membrane becomes "dead".
And there is a complex hierarchy of life or different levels of life. By that I mean that we are alive as organisms (Level 1). If our brains cease to function then we die. However, our organs can remain alive if donated to another body (Level 2). We are not alive, but part of us is.
And if you break the organ down into its cells, then the organ is dead, but the cells can be kept alive (Level 3).
Then if the cells are tweaked properly, they can be grown into another organ. Or the cells can be put into a prepared egg and become another organism (theoretically at least, see last week's blog).
My kidney is not me, but it is a part of me. If I lose a kidney, I don't cease to exist, but how many parts can I lose before I am no longer me? And some parts seem to define me or my image of me more that other parts.
And when did I begin? Does life begin at birth? Well, a level of life might begin there or another level after we reach a certain age of independence. That was 18 back in the day, but now seems to be more like 34…
Of course another level is when the egg and the sperm unite…conception begins that process of life.
But in reality we don't create life at conception. Cells come from pre-existing cells, or life comes from pre-existing life.
Once life began at…well, the beginning, it has not stopped. It takes a living cell to make another living cell. Mama's egg was alive before conception (as was Daddy's sperm).
We are part of a great continuum of life. Part of a journey. Then when do I cease to be me? …cease to exist? (Ah…add a dash of sequel dust here…)

Mississippi's House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly Tuesday for a three-bill bond package that would fund new construction, repairs and renovations for community colleges, universities and the state's historic sites and properties, but the Senate has not agreed and its fate is uncertain.
The package of bills – HR 845, 1617 and 1618 – would authorize $120 million for universities, $25 million for community colleges, $5 million for Archives and History, plus $3 million for a new community and junior colleges headquarters building that would use revenue bonds, not general obligation bonds issued against the state's full faith and credit.
Earlier in the 2013 session, legislators approved a $31 million expansion of the University of Mississippi's School of Medicine in Jackson in a separate bill. The medical school expansion was strongly backed by Gov. Phil Bryant, who made more doctors a major policy goal of his administration.
Support for the bond bill passed Tuesday in the House is not as certain in the Senate because Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves, who presides as Senate president, is intensely conservative about bond debt. No bonds were approved for the universities and colleges in 2012, a great disappointment in the Legislature and in the higher education community.
The largest of the bond measures passed Tuesday, for universities, would have provisions for additional bond-backed work in the next two fiscal years, with a total of $380 million possible but not required.
The House's action almost certainly encourages presidents of the universities and community colleges, plus the archives and history administrative leadership because virtually none of the projects can move forward without substantial bond approval.
Legislators must authorize bonds, then a majority of the three-member Bond Commission must vote to issue them.
Reeves won a significant victory in his push against bond debt when the House passed a bill to spend $72.6 million out of cash reserves to replace roofs, replace county bridges, buy fire trucks for small fire departments and pay for state accounting software.
The bond bills passed in the House on Tuesday might be described as more substantial in scope. The total ultimately approved also may be less out of an abundance of caution even though bond interest rates are low, which makes long-term payout relatively more affordable.
At least some bonds are needed. Probability of some approval is better than full opposition.

Drive south to Tel Be'er Sheva, another of the many UNESCO's World Heritage Sites on this itinerary. This ancient town, overlooking the modern capital of the Negev that has retained the ancient name, functioned as the administrative center for the Judean monarchy during the Iron Age, beginning some 2,800 years ago. Among the most impressive finds here are the corner stones of an altar and a large-scale water project that served the city during both war and peace.
Continue south to Sde Boker, a kibbutz in the central Negev and the home of Israel's first Prime Minister, David Ben-Gurion. Visit Ben-Gurion's modest home and the nearby exhibition portraying his life and his vision for this region, and stop at his tomb, overlooking the magnificent Tsin Valley.
Proceed to Avdat, once a central city on the Nabatean trade route (known as the Incense Route) connecting Petra and the port of Gaza.

RE:6/17 Late Merrimack River report
Thanks for the report Sully.
I am no crab expert, but I've also seen other crab species in addition to the green crabs you mention on Joppa. Some are black with orange highlights, others are brown and yellow, some are tan with tiny orange spots and others are green. This is not including the spider crabs or hermit crabs and fiddlers.
Frankly, the black and orange look terribly unappetizing. Their shells are hard and they are fat and hardy. When compared to a blue of the same size, they look like an arachnid as opposed to a crustacean. I'd be curious to know if stripers eat those guys as well as the others.
Time to break out the Audubon Field Guides!
6/17 Late Merrimack River report
Went on a last minute unscheduled trip. My buddy called me at 10:00 P.M. on Firday night for an early Saturday river run.
Fished from the Route 1 bridge down to the mouth. Lots of micro bass on drifts along Woodbridge Island down to the Captains Lady charter boats. Lots of boats and surf guy's.
I had just one very large fish follow up to the boat but turn off when she saw the hull. She chased a 9" sluggo with a fly teaser up front.
FWIW, Joppa is loaded with 2" green crabs.

8 arrested as Aborigines protest cull of kangaroos in Australia
May 21, 2008
CANBERRA, Australia: (AP) Kangaroos and Tasmanian devils are beloved Australian icons that are tugging the nation's heartstrings for very different reasons. While authorities are cutting the population of the former, they are struggling to prevent the latter from dying out altogether.
The juxtaposition underscores Australia's challenges, failures and differences in opinion on caring for its unique fauna.
Protesters vowed Wednesday to seek a court injunction to stop the cull of 400 eastern gray kangaroos at a government site in the national capital of Canberra. Scientists say the rapidly growing kangaroo population needs more to eat than its natural habitat can support, threatening the species' own survival as well as that of endangered reptiles and insects.
Tasmanian devils were meanwhile listed as endangered Wednesday because a contagious cancer has been killing off wild populations of the kangaroo's carnivorous marsupial cousin.
Defense Department authorities began the kangaroo cull Monday on an abandoned military site in Canberra where some 600 kangaroos live.Police charged eight Aboriginal activists with trespassing on the site Wednesday. The activists were hoping to persuade Defense to relocate rather than kill the kangaroos, whom they consider sacred. Defense has said relocation would be too expensive.
Pat O'Brien, a protest leader who was not arrested, said the activists planned to apply Thursday for a court injunction to stop the cull until after June 6 when they are scheduled to face the trespass charges in court. Each faces a maximum fine of 1,100 Australian dollars (US$1,050; €670) if convicted.
Canberra's local government leader Jon Stanhope said this week that he understood the cull distressed many people, but that more than 3.5 million kangaroos are shot in the Outback each year because there are too many.
But O'Brien — president of the Wildlife Protection Association of Australia, whose patrons are the family of the late "Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irwin — said government leaders were missing the point.
"Shooting millions of kangaroos doesn't make it right," O'Brien said Wednesday. "The national capital has a chance to lead by example and show that Australia has moved beyond solving all our wildlife management problems with a gun."
The Tasmanian devil, infamous worldwide as the Looney Tunes cartoon character Taz, is threatened by a contagious cancer that has cut its population by up to 60 percent in a decade. The disease has spread so quickly that scientists last year estimated there might be no disease-free population in the island state of Tasmania within five years.
The government of Tasmania — the only place in the world where they exist in the wild — reclassified the devil on Wednesday from vulnerable to endangered status. The reclassification qualifies it for greater government conservation assistance and adds pressure on the federal government to upgrade the devil on its national threatened species listing.
"We are committed to finding an answer and saving the Tasmanian devil for Tasmanians and the world," state Primary Industries Minister David Llewellyn said in a statement.
Early European settlers named the feisty devil for its spine-chilling screeches, dark appearance and reputed bad temper which, along with its steel-trap jaw, made it appear incredibly fierce.
Its larger cousin, the Tasmanian tiger, a striped Labrador-like creature that like all marsupials carried its young in a pouch, was shot into extinction during the 20th century because it preyed on livestock.
Veterinarian Hugh Wirth, former president of the World Society for the Protection of Animals and of Australia's Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, said Australians have become more concerned about conserving their wildlife in the past 20 years.
Wirth said the RSPCA accepted the wild kangaroo population must be kept in check because of manmade changes to the environment, but that it should be a continual process of weeding out the old and sick. He accused Defense of ignoring kangaroo population explosions at properties throughout Australia until the animals are at risk of starvation.
"Impossibly high numbers have been allowed to develop and then you have a mass slaughter. That's not close management and it's intolerable," Wirth said. "In a decade's time, we'll have another slaughter."

To celebrate five years of incredible home entertainment, we asked you to tell us what your favourite PlayStation 3 games have been since the system launched on 23 March 2007.
It was inevitable that this epic adventure from Naughty Dog would be one of the most popular PlayStation 3 titles. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves raised the bar for cinematic experiences and gameplay.
"It's tough when there are so many greats, but I have to choose the spectacular Uncharted 2: Among Thieves." (RShuker)
Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception
The third title in the Uncharted series, Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception sees Nathan Drake embark on another incredible adventure - this time, in the Middle East. Ready yourself for a stunning quest like no other.
"Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception raises the bar on every level with its spectacular voice acting, graphics, motion capture, story, gameplay, music, character development and more as it all blends together to create one seamless masterpiece." (Mitchjay92)
Kratos gave an impressive performance in the action-packed God of War III. Epic boss battles, intricate puzzles and an unforgettable quest to the top of Mount Olympus helped put this title in the top ten.
"The best graphics, gameplay, story, characters, pacing, set pieces, boss fights, art style and music for PS3 by miles." (A-HBX)
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
One of the older titles in the top ten, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots has truly stood the test of time, proving just as popular today as it did when it released in 2008.
"My crown goes to Metal Gear Solid 4 - a solid game in its own right and of epic proportions." (Caragorn_007-11)
Plunges into a captivating tale where your decisions shape the story. A thrilling yet emotional epic full of twists and turns, Heavy Rain is a unique experience that really challenges you to think about your actions.
"When Heavy Rain starts you can feel instantly that this isn't just a regular game. I was on the edge of my seat and really empathised with the characters." (d1capo)
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
Bigger and better than ever before, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 arrived on PS3 in November 2011 and has proven to be one of the most popular first person shooter titles around.
"Even though it was only recently released, there are still new maps and missions coming and it just rocks." (greensmoker)
Stunning, incredible and the most realistic driving experience you'll get in your living room, Gran Turismo 5 was an instant classic as soon as it hit the shelves in 2010.
"I bought my PS3 just because I wanted to play GT5." (y4yma)
Grand Theft Auto IV invites players into an open-world experience to explore the tough streets of Liberty City in a hard-hitting adventure.
"It took open-world games to a whole new level and created something that no GTA title had done before, a character that people could relate to and understand." (Max0895)
This fast-paced action adventure title was PlayStation fans' first introduction to Nathan Drake - a character that would go on to be one of the most popular in the history of PS3.
"It's got to be Uncharted: Drake's Fortune for me. It was not only brutal in difficulty, but had a gripping storyline to boot, filled with twists and turns." (DjRalford)
An epic historical adventure series was born when Assassin's Creed launched on PlayStation 3 in November 2007. You control an ancient assassin, along with his modern-day ancestor in an open world packed with ruthless battles and stunning scenery.
"Assassin's Creed is just THE Game." (nowormnoparty)

This next story begins about ten years ago when the artistic director of a theater we won't name decided not to cast local actors in major roles. Not surprisingly, that didn't go over too well with some very talented people here in town. And it soon led to the birth of the Kansas City Actors Theatre.
Since then, that other organization has changed its policy, but the Actors Theatre goes on, gearing up this summer for its eighth season.
As part of our performARTS series in conjunction with KC Studio Magazine, we take you inside the Kansas City Actors Theatre.
The Kansas City Actors Theater kicks off its 8th season with Agatha Christie's The Mousetrap, which will run August 8th through 26th at Union Station's H&R Block City Stage.

(3) 91.4 % of illegal aliens in the USA are older than 30 years in age, according to Obama's latest executive order of mid-June 2012.
(4) 94% of illegal aliens in the USA do NOT work on farms, or chicken processing plants in Texas, or tomato fields, or fruit trees, or vegetable fields, or dairy cows, etc. those are all agriculture. Only 2% of the US Labor Force works in agriculture.
H-2A is a guest worker visa program for foreign naitonals to legally work in the USA to pick tomatoes.
(1) Immigration Statistics can be found at Department of Homeland Security website (DHS gov)
Year 2009 – 10,750,000 illegal aliens in USA (Obama's 1st year)
(Source – Estimates of the Unauthorized Population report for the USA was listed on page 3, Table 1, and still accessible at the above website)
Year 2010 -10,790,000 illegal aliens in USA(Source: Again, page 3, Table 1, "Estimates of Unauthorized Population", above website, immigration statistics)
Year 2011 – 11,510,000 illegal aliens in USA(Source: Again, page 3, Table 1, see above)
(2) If Obama was doing "record enforcement" or "record deportations", and the flow of illegal aliens into the USA allegedlly stopped under Obama, then how is it that the number of illegal aliens in the USA increased by almost 1 million from 2009 to 2011?
The media keeps saying that Obama deported 1 million illegal aliens, then why didn't the total illegal aliens in the USA go down by 1 million from 2009 to 2011? THAT likely means that 2 million illegal aliens entered the USA from 2009 to 2011, for a net increase of almost 1 million.


text: Never say never, and you won't know unless you ask, but you'll have some fairly difficult obstacles in your path. The first is that these events are not exactly spectator sports; the only ones in the gallery are usually there because they're also running dogs. The second is that you are talking about your city sponsoring you for an event that involves guns and the killing of animals; even if you're lucky enough not to have any gun control freaks or PETA disciples amongst the decision makers, blood sports are not exactly PC for the masses.

Miss Lewis mentions buttermilk cookies, which she pairs with ice-cold lemonade, but as far as we know, she never committed a recipe to paper. When we developed one, the big debate was about texture: Soft or crisp? What you see here is the cookie of your dreams, with a tender interior and the slightest bit of crispness around the edge.
Leave a Review
I like the tangy taste of these, but they are really more tea cake than cookie.
Using a dark-colored cookie pan versus a stainless steel colored pan makes a difference in the outcome. I tried with the same batch, same oven, same temp, 2 different types of pans. The dark-colored one resulted in the crispy-bottomed, soft cookie described in the recipe after 12 minutes in the over (Excellent!). The silver-colored pan barely browned on the edge and never got crispy, even after 15 minutes in the oven. I like a soft cookie, but the ones that didn't crisp were only mediocre-tasting. The cookies from the darker pan were spectacular. Maybe everyone knows the difference in cookie trays, but I didn't until now.
I absolutely love making these cookies. My brother really wanted a buttermilk cookie and I didn't even think there was a recipe for one but I found this one and fell in love with it. There's just so much you can do with it. I like to add cinnamon instead of lemon and cinnamon extract instead of the vanilla extract. I found the glaze to be too sweet for the cookie so instead I like to coat the cookies in a cinnamon and sugar mixture. One thing that I found made them easier to put on a cookie sheet was to put them in the fridge for about an hour or in the freezer for 10 minutes (if you don't want to wait an hour).
These cookies are amazing! I made them with half a teaspoon of vanilla extract and half a teaspoon of lemon extract. The cookies spread and rise very quickly, so just make sure they are spread apart enough. Also, to make aesthetically pleasing cookies, just put some flour on your hands to make circles out of the dough.
I love these and make them all the time (I use cream cheese icing to ice them though) They are very versatile- I spice them up, sometimes fold blueberries in them or pecans and recently did some with a little pumpkin puree and some cloves and ginger! This a great recipe and I love tweaking it.
I tried this recipe to use up left over buttermilk. The icing sugar makes the cookie very sweet. I couldn't really taste the lemon much. I followed what another reviewer did and piped the rest after the second batch since they didnt turn out looking that nice. I didn't find it was that great of a cookie. Will not make again.
This is a very good cookie. I added chopped pecans. For the glaze (since I had so many lemons), I used lemon juice instead of vanilla. I also added about a tablespoon of lemon zest.
One of my favorites. I particularly like the texture, and they have just the right amount of lemon. I usually make these instead of sugar cookies. For a fun variation, add 2 tablespoons of poppy seeds.
The taste of the cookie was great....not too sweet. I did not flatten the first batch, because I expected the cookies to spread out as they baked. I ended up with cake-like cookie balls. I flattened the second batch before baking, which helped. I actually piped the third batch onto the cookie sheet. Overall, I enjoyed the taste much more than the texture. I will experiment a bit with the recipe next time....
Two forks means "good," and that is all these were. They are basically an old-fashioned, cakelike sugar cookie. I didn't have problems with the dough being too dry, it is possible that the people who experienced that did not measure the flour correctly. At any rate, these were very cute when finished. The glaze is as others have said, very sweet and one-dimensional... I added the juice of half a lemon for some zing.

Bernstein Research's Mark Newman late yesterday published a series of slides and a transcript from a conference call he held during the day to discuss a note to clients published December 10th exploring the possibility that Samsung Electronics (005930KS) will lose Apple's (AAPL) chip manufacturing business for the "A" series processors Apple designs for the iPhone and iPad and iPod Touch.
Apple shares today are down $5.11, or 1%, at $528.79, while Samsung stock rose 0.8% to ₩1,515,000 in Seoul trading.
Newman, who has an Outperform rating on Samsung stock, and a ₩2,100,000 price target, reiterates a view that Apple is "actively preparing" to move business away from Samsung, most likely to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM), citing as evidence things such as Apple having designed its own CPU "core" in the most recent versions of the A series, the "A6″ and "A6X," whereas previously Apple had relied on standard CPU cores from ARM Holdings (ARMH).
We believe Apple is actively shifting away their processor business away from Samsung. As a reminder, Apple purchases 100% their processor needs for iPads and iPhones from Samsung today.
However, it will take time, because chip foundry relationships are "sticky," writes Newman:
We have seen Apple start to move away from Samsung in both memory and display. However, they're still locked in 100% for the processors. Why is it taking them so long to move away? We believe that the processor business is a very, very sticky business, firstly due to the business model. Typically, TSMC conducts what is a general foundry model, where they do the wafer manufacturing, with other companies doing other parts of the business. Samsung's strategic foundry business model actually does the complete service for Apple, including the assembly and test, design service, and also manufacturing [...] On the process technology, the difference between Samsung and TSMC is quite stark at the 32/28nm node with Samsung using a Gate-First technology and TSMC using a Gate-Last technology. Those process technologies are very different and we thus believe it's unlikely for Apple to move to TSMC on this node. We believe it's much more likely to happen on the next node (20nm) where both companies will be on a similar Gate-Last technology. That's why we believe the move of Apple away from Samsung to TSMC will not happen until late 2013, because the 20nm from TSMC will not be available before then
Newman provides the following graphic to support his view that Apple's hypothetical product roadmap would make a 2014 shift in foundries the most likely outcome (click for larger image):

You are here
It's time again already! The ASID/Symphony Designer Showhouse is gearing up for its March/April 2011 event. This year, WHAT. A. HOUSE. The address is 89 Beaufain in Harleston Village (my neighborhood!), and it's a knockout historic single. Every house is different, but around this time—as planning and coordinating get into full swing—the Showhouse-to-be is often in full-on renovation mode. Scaffolding here, hard hats there... Don't touch that. Watch your step. Excuse the mess.
Not this one. The William Steele House, as it's known, has already undergone its makeover and is now in impeccable condition. Original carved mantels and moldings, endless piazzas, and outdoor spaces along the side that just go back and back—they never end. I believe the residence is on the Historic Register but I'm still piecing through the research.
So what's happening now? Well, the Carolina Chapter of ASID (American Society of Interior Designers) is in the process of pairing their designers with rooms in the house, and then they'll get to work on hunting down furnishings and paint colors, etc. to fancy up the rooms. On Friday, they held their lottery, where designers vie for the rooms they want. Since Charleston Home is a presenting sponsor of the Showhouse (the program, as always, will be in our Spring/Summer issue), I stopped in to chat with the designers about what we need from them (room descriptions, fabric samples, etc.).
In the meantime, here's some shots from my wanderings around the residence that afternoon:
Exterior of the house
In the kitchen, Designer Liaison Donna Horack of Horack Patch Designs (far right, in black) and Paula Benton, the Committee Chair (second from right, blue jacket), sort through which designers want which rooms.
This hauntingly beautiful mantel is, I believe, in the living room. In unfurnished homes where all the rooms are the same size, it's hard to tell. Check out the detailing.
More historic window detailing...
This on the third floor and is currently referred to as "the smoking room." I can see scooting some big club chairs in there and ushering the cigar aficionados in, can't you?

Jabra VOX Corded Stereo Wired Headsets - Retail Packaging - Black
"The Jabra Vox is Jabra's current flagship IEM. It has impressed me in many ways, but has its shortcomings. But for being only $100 MSRP, these are a definite competitor on the current market. [[SPOILER]] Package - The Vox comes in a hard-plastic container with a yellow silicone stripe down the middle, with the word, 'Vox' written on it. It feels well made, and is aesthetically pleasing to my..." --pro1137
" Was generally attracted to these headphones by the wooden look and the odd buds at the end. Fifteen minutes later I was fairly shocked at the big package I got in such a small one. While these are great for portability, they are annoying when they get tangles (but that happens to all of them unless they are self retractable). All in all, great earbuds. " --thatnewguy15

The following is excerpted from Whitey: The Life of America's Most Notorious Mob Boss. Read our interview with authors Dick Lehr and Gerard O'Neill here.
In its charred aftermath, it's hard to imagine that school desegregation snuck up on Southie. But indeed it did.
It had been dismissed out of hand in the beginning. Busing blacks into the preeminent Irish bastion to desegregate schools? Never happen. Who would even propose something that explosive? Who had the political firewall to withstand what it would unleash?
And if it ever became a real prospect, the battle-tested town would simply do what it always did — shout it down without letup. The way it had routed urban renewal a decade earlier. And it always could depend on how the Boston School Committee genuflected before its ballot box. The whole thing was preposterous.
But enter Judge W. Arthur Garrity, a focused man impervious to street noise.
A former U.S. attorney with strong Kennedy connections, Garrity had been a federal judge for ten years, a job he seemed destined for by intellect and disposition. But the appearance of a quiet ascetic with refined manners and excessive politeness cloaked a man of steel. Once he made up his mind, the matter was considered closed. Forthwith and period. Raucous protests notwithstanding.
It took a while for Southie to realize it had met its match.
It began on a sultry day in 1974 with the suddenness of a summer storm. A case suffused with precedents that supported busing to remedy segregation had quietly worked its way through the federal courthouse. On a June morning, less than three months before schools reopened, the court sprang a cataclysm on a sleepy town.
Garrity ruled that decades of intentional discrimination against blacks by the Boston School Committee now required that schools be racially balanced and resources equally shared. The findings, taken from committee minutes, were irrefutable. But the remedy of large- scale busing turned Boston upside down for nearly a decade. It achieved neither balanced schools nor better education. In fact, the opposite happened.
The Achilles' heel of the ruling was the most radical provision — that black students from Roxbury High be sent to South Boston and vice versa. The idea was to slay the "never" dragon dead on Telegraph Hill in South Boston. Within weeks, the unthinkable was under way.
Whitey Bulger's rise in Southie did not just result from doing in Donald Killeen and then troublesome Mullens one by one. Or from becoming a Top Echelon informant for John Connolly. Or from falling heir to Winter Hill's jackpot after Howie Winter went to jail and handed off a gambling network that rivaled the Mafia's.
His home turf was in historic turmoil that worked to his benefit. Among the legion of unforeseen consequences of Garrity's radical solution was that it proved good for Whitey Bulger's business. A town at loose ends was a crime haven.
Indeed, the peak year for serious crime for the last half century was 1975. This was the first full year of busing in South Boston. And it was the year that class warfare became the bitter backdrop to a vicious election between Mayor Kevin White and his downtown liberal supporters and Dorchester marine Joseph Timilty.

This is an attempt at the Spot the Difference competition. The idea is that Alice May would change one item of her appearance in each shot of her. Unfortunately I was over-ambitious and the changes are too small to see in most cases, and I suspect that on some people's monitors the image is too dark to see Alice May, never mind what she is wearing!
Alice May appears 22 times (ok, 21.75) in this pano shot with a 89mm (35mm equivalent) lens, beating the record set in www.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=20177.
Can you beat that without using Photoshop?

Great idea all around, and great image. In the spirit of competitive gigapanography, however-- good luck besting 24 (ok, ~23.8 or so...see if you can find out where)! gigapan.org/gigapans/34468/
I am not sure Mrs. Bennet would approve of her apparel though. It would vex her greatly.
Ignore the difference in hair styles: www.pemberley.com/janeinfo/janepic t.jpg Her eyes are the same as Jane's and her face, bus especially her eyes :) Which comes from this resource: www.pemberley.com/janeinfo/janelif e.html#picture And the main page is: www.pemberley.com/janeinfo/janelif e.html
I have never seen a picture of Ms. Austen. Did you have one in mind?
I thought about making a snapshot of the front of Winchester Cathedral, but decided not to because an isolated view would take away from the entire [excellent] panorama... which *is* the front of the Cathedral. Note: To my eye, Alice May looks like Jane Austen...

Steve Roach is one of the very few people who create ambient music who sell so many cds albums and can survive on his music.
I think used CD's are in a grey area. If I spent $10 on a cd, then didn't like it, I should be able to resell it to someone else who may appreciate it. But what if I make a copy for myself, then resell it? A strange aspect of all this is the experience of hearing the music. It's like seeing a play; if it sucked, do I get my money back? I can't "resell" my experience - I saw the play, and can't "unsee" it. Isn't that part of my risk going into it? Places like Soleilmoon have a money-back guarantee - if you buy a disk, then don't like it, they'll give you a refund. But what if I like it, then get bored with it in two years? If I paid for the music, didn't I get two years of enjoyment out of it? Am I now entitled to sell the medium, because I'm bored with the content?Did I buy the medium, or the music?
Of course, ripping a CD to your iTunes library and then selling the CD used is no different from just pirating it in the first place, without ever having bought a copy.
Quote from: mgriffin on April 22, 2009, 10:16:35 AMOf course, ripping a CD to your iTunes library and then selling the CD used is no different from just pirating it in the first place, without ever having bought a copy.Mike, this statement doesn't quite make sense to me. A cd bought new is around $15, including tax/shipping, which brings us close to $20. When it's sold, a record store might give $1-$4, or do a trade in type of deal. A bit more money might be made on Ebay, but the point is that one will certainly not make the money back that was put into purchase. Now, if that cd is burned onto the computer before selling the hard copy, in my opinion that can't be equated with piracy. After all, the person did actually buy the album, thereby increasing album sales. If they sell it back, whether it is because they don't like it, or to recoup a bit of money, and also decide to burn it, I can see no wrong in that. I mentioned this whole nuance earlier in the thread, and I'm still not fully decided on whether it is "right" or not, but I am beginning to think it is pushing the limit of what is "right" to be afraid to burn an album before one decides to sell it, for whatever reason. As I mentioned before, when I sell a cd, I often burn it, just in case, but rarely ever listen to it again, and usually delete it, because it no longer feels real to me.
Unfortunately, it is true however. According to the law, the minute you sell a cd, you no longer have the rights to own said CD and it is actually illegal to burn it to your library and sell it. Again, it does not matter what you think or feel is right, the law is the law.PV
In our case, we all know we're "breaking" the law by illigally downloading music, but when someone ends up buying it shortly thereafter, how is any damage done?
Would it REALLY cause any problem to anyone if we download an album that is our of print and can't be found anywhere else, rip a cd that we have bought from the artist (and then sold for an equal price),
or download an album that we have already ordered from the artist as a preview (I think that was the case with Immersion, if I'm not mistaken?) I'd like an honest response concerning this...
I see no problem about this. The artist has been paid for this very copy, and what happens is that the act of buying (sorry if I'm not not making sense, but neither English or law is my forte) is transferred to some other man. The seller, has accomplished his due towards the artist and does not hurt anyone if he keeps a rip of the cd certainly. The buyer however, should have bought a copy directly from the artist rather than buying this used cd. He's much more liable than the seller for the problem, in my book.

Power time
SRM partnered with Shimano to build a new power system that's built around the increasingly popular 2x10 drivetrain configuration. Called the SRM XT 2x10 Powermeter Crankset, this power package provides the most accurate power readings available using SRM's tried-and-proven design. The move toward tracking power data in the mountain world was first realized by SRM when it noticed that many XC and endurance courses remain the same from year to year. Now, with the new power package, riders benefit from being able to record specific aspects of course layouts and structure their training schedules accordingly. Knowing exactly how many accelerations, lengths, and durations of key climbs, as well as average power data for a certain race, work to an athlete's advantage while preparing for these events.
The SRM unit that's been mated to the Shimano XT crankset relies on the recently-improved eight strain gauge design for measuring data. These eight strain gauges for the powermeter are a system of sensors that detect any resistance and vary their output when experiencing applied force. The next step is for the strain gauges to convert this data into electrical resistance so that it's able to be measured. The refinements to the system provide stellar results. The SRM XT 2x10 expresses an accuracy of +/- 1.5% between 30 and 255 rpm, with a wattage range between 0 and 4096 watts. The unit was rigorously tested in order to ensure maximum weatherproofing and durability both on the trail and race course. Additionally, it provides around 700 hours of battery life before requiring replacement.
The cranksets' Hollowtech II arms have been reshaped with an asymmetric design that now mirrors the sophistication of XTR. The right arm is pressed together with the hollow 24mm spindle at the factory, and the splined left crankarm mates to the spindle during installation. This is secured with perhaps Shimano's best detail -- two pinch bolts that secure the arm once the bearing preload is dialed in perfectly. In our experience, it's a superior design over the previous version in terms of installation, ride-quality, and durability.
The Shimano XT 2x10 Hollowtech II Crankset also provides lower weight compared to the triple chainring setup, and new gearing configurations cover what was once only attainable through the three-ring design. Shimano and SRM built the new 2x10 setup using RaceFace's lightweight chainrings. These were selected due to their seamless integration with the SRM unit, and they also deliver rapid, easy shifts that are made even faster due to the elimination of the ambidextrous middle chainring. The little ring is designed exclusively to allow the chain to go to the big and vice-versa. Neither has to do double duty. And with a Shimano asymmetric chain, the system is optimized throughout.
The SRM XT 2x10 is available with 175mm crankarms in the color Black. Additionally, SRM is providing this crankset in both a 40/28t and 38/26t configuration. The powermeter operates wirelessly with ANT+ Sport, and it does not include a CPU. However, it is compatible with PowerControl 7, and any other ANT+ Sport-compatible device. Also, please note that the bottom bracket is not included with this powermeter system.

After exploring Israel's ability, legitimacy, and necessity to attack Iran, Ronen Bergman believes that the country would certainly do so in 2012.
As the Sabbath evening approached on Jan. 13, Ehud Barak paced the wide living-room floor of his home high above a street in north Tel Aviv, its walls lined with thousands of books on subjects ranging from philosophy and poetry to military strategy. Barak, the Israeli defense minister, is the most decorated soldier in the country's history and one of its most experienced and controversial politicians. He has served as chief of the general staff for the Israel Defense Forces, interior minister, foreign minister and prime minister. He now faces, along with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and 12 other members of Iraeli's inner security cabinet, the most important decision of his life — whether to launch a pre-emptive attack against Iran. We met in the late afternoon, and our conversation — the first of several over the next week — lasted for two and a half hours, long past nightfall. "This is not about some abstract concept," Barak said as he gazed out at the lights of Tel Aviv, "but a genuine concern. The Iranians are, after all, a nation whose leaders have set themselves a strategic goal of wiping Israel off the map."
When I mentioned to Barak the opinion voiced by the former Mossad chief Meir Dagan and the former chief of staff Gabi Ashkenazi — that the Iranian threat was not as imminent as he and Netanyahu have suggested and that a military strike would be catastrophic (and that they, Barak and Netanyahu, were cynically looking to score populist points at the expense of national security), Barak reacted with uncharacteristic anger. He and Netanyahu, he said, are responsible "in a very direct and concrete way for the existence of the State of Israel — indeed, for the future of the Jewish people." As for the top-ranking military personnel with whom I've spoken who argued that an attack on Iran was either unnecessary or would be ineffective at this stage, Barak said: "It's good to have diversity in thinking and for people to voice their opinions. But at the end of the day, when the military command looks up, it sees us — the minister of defense and the prime minister. When we look up, we see nothing but the sky above us."

It was a fun day, the weather was perfect and Anne, Logan, Rebecca and Evan (who had to drop due to injury) ended up cheering me on at various points along the course. I ran a pretty good race, with near even splits. It was fun running with some of the fast boys and I am still amazed at Wardian's time and splits (3:00 for the first 25 miles, 2:33 for the second!).
I now had 12 days to prepare for my next race at the Pinhoti 100…
Recovery went OK during this short time, running fast (sub 6 min./miles) was pretty uncomfortable, but other than that I thought I felt pretty good. We drove to Alabama with both boys, stopping in Knoxville on the way out. The boys were fighting off colds and did not sleep well, so neither did Anne or I. When we arrived in Sylacauga, AL the hotel had lost our reservation, so we had to head across the street to the Holiday Inn Express (a nicer hotel, but a little more $$). At packet pickup I learned I was not listed to ride on the bus to the start in the morning. Luckily, Troy Shellhamer had a crew and was able to give me a ride and some early morning amusement with banter about the Louisville tri-athlete community and several references and quotes from Talladega Nights (the race was run in Talladega National Forest).
I got up at 3 AM, got dressed and headed off for the hour and a half drive to the start. After milling around a bit in the cold, the race started. Karl took off and a few others followed. I was content falling back a bit, at least until the sun came up. Things were going fine for about 10 miles. After that I just felt completely spent; not good when you still have 80+ miles and 16+ hours to go. I kept trudging along hoping to bounce back, but by mile 20 I was already in my "100 mile shuffle." There was nothing really physically wrong; I was just completely exhausted and depleted. I trudged along a little further, but finally gave up realizing my body was telling me this was just too much.
Anne and the boys picked me up and we headed to the Mellow Mushroom for lunch - gotta love the Mellow MushroomJ Stopping when I did gave us some extra time to spend in the South and we had a good time. The next morning I talked to Karl for a bit, congratulating him on a great run with a course record 16:42 and win #31. He's thinking about putting on a "Speadgoat 100" next year. Sounds painful, but I am definitely interested; especially if I am unlucky in the lotteries.
This month has taught me quite a bit about my running and both the mental and physical demands of frequent Ultra racing. Hopefully, I can learn and continue to improve with perhaps a bit more consistency. I'll probably stay local for the rest of the year, and there is no shortage of races so I should be able to "get my fill."

What sort of loading will your servo be subject to?
