Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by Pwn Toney, Apr 21, 2007.
Detroit Basketball...or bassetball...I gotta bassetball jones...Oh baby whoowhoo weee.
I already addressed this issue... and
Low - I have warmed up to Flip, maybe you will as well. He has the team playing so well right now. The offensive flow is beautifull at times. Perhaps he does not coach D the way you want but his system does force a lot of TO's and he has the bigs able to collapse on anyone in the paint. Developed some depth so there are a lot of fouls to use up if need be. I feel as though the Pistons are better prepared for the playoffs than the past 2 seasons. We will see.
I need help, ladies and gentlemens I need someone to stand beside me I need, I need someone to set a pick for me at the free-throw line of life Someone I can pass to Someone to hit the open man on the give-and-go And not end up in the popcorn machine So cheerleaders, help me out

That's your brake master cylinder. The brake booster (the large round thing behind it) is connected to the driver's brake pedal. Your foot's force is amplified by the brake booster and directed to the brake master cylinder, which squeezes the reservoir of brake fluid that it retains, through the metal brake lines which lead to the callipers at all four wheels. This arrangement is done to increase hydraulic pressure on the brake fluid to ensure maximum clamping force is made available at the callipers, which resulted in the E34 breaking world 60-0 stopping records in the early 90s. Pardon me, I had to brag a little.
It appears that part #2 in the diagram below may be defective :
The diagram is deceptive : there are 2 units of part #2. You can try changing both to see if that helps.
If its the nuts which screw into them which are, well, screwed, then you have to change the entire brake fluid reservoir to which they are connected to. The diagram shows that they are not a separate part of the thing. I wouldn't advise a diy workaround on this even if it was possible, as we are dealing with very high pressures and this is a literally a driving safety issue.
That said, this is a very obscure problem that you've encountered. If you need to change the brake lines/brake reservoir, I will wager that a good used unit will do fine.
You ought to inspect everything including the brake booster :
...to ensure that you do not have other brake related issues.
Until you have taken care of this, please do not drive at highway speeds, and keep way more distance between yourself and the car in front than you normally would. Check and top up oil before each trip that you have to make. It is best of course that you get this sorted out at a workshop bright and early on monday morning. Sometimes there's no way to avoid the expense.
If its just a brake reservoir replacement affair, it should take a professional around 30 minutes and 1 litre of dot4 oil to sort it out. However, if you need to change your brake master pump, only buy new and of the correct brand (lucas or girling) according to your car's chassis number (or just use what is already in there). For some reason, the brake master pump and the brake booster need to be of the same brand even if the part numbers for different brands are the same, if not everything gets off. Costly lesson I learned.
The brake booster may involve around 20 minutes of work to swop out for someone who has done this before.

Michigan has won 11 NCAA championships in its history (1937-41, '48, '57-59, '61, '95), tied for most by a Big Ten school with Ohio State. Prior to 1937 when NCAA championships had not yet become official, Michigan won seven additional titles (1927-28, '31-32, '34-36). Michigan swimmers and divers have won a total of 160 national individual, diving and relay championships.
Michigan has scored a top-10 finish at the NCAA Championships in 12 consecutive years dating back to 2001. The Wolverines finished fifth last season, their first top-five finish since 2004 (fifth). The last time Michigan finished in the top three at the NCAA Championships was 1996 (third).
Since 1988, Michigan has crowned at least one national champion at 21 of the last 25 NCAA Championships (none in 1998, 2002, '11, '12). The last Michigan student-athlete to win a national championship in an individual race was Tyler Clary, who won the 400-yard individual medley in 2010. The last relay team to win was the 800-meter freestyle relay team of Peter Vanderkaay, Davis Tarwater, Andrew Hurd and Dan Ketchum in 2004.
The last time Michigan won the national championship was in 1995 in Indianapolis, which is also the site of this year's meet. That year was also the last time the NCAA Championships were held in Indianapolis.
Prior to Michigan's last NCAA Championships win in 1995, the last Big Ten team to win a national championship was Indiana, which won six consecutive from 1968-73. Only nine teams have won the national championship since 1974, with eight of those teams coming from the Pac-12 (California, Stanford, Arizona, UCLA, USC), SEC (Auburn, Florida) or the Big 12 (Texas).
The program's best event at the NCAA Championships has been the 100-yard freestyle, in which 10 U-M swimmers have won a total of 16 national titles. The Wolverines have had at least one individual national champion in every race but three: 100-yard backstroke, 100-yard breaststroke and 200-yard IM. Michigan's most successful relay team has been the 400-yard freestyle relay, winning that race 14 times (last in 1959). Prior to the 800-meter freestyle relay team's win in 2004, U-M won the 800-yard freestyle relay every year from 1993-97. The Wolverines have never won a national championship in the 200-yard medley relay.
Michigan will be represented by at least one swimmer in every individual race and every relay. The Wolverines have the most entries in the 500-yard freestyle with six (excluding two more optional entries). They will also have four entries in the 200-yard individual medley, 1,650-yard freestyle and 200-yard freestyle (with four more optional entries).
On the relays, Michigan enters the NCAA Championships as the top seed in the 200-yard medley relay (1:23.25), 400-yard medley relay (3:05.42) and 800-yard freestyle relay (6:13.70). It is also seeded second in the 200-yard freestyle relay (1:16.42) and sixth in the 400-yard freestyle relay (2:51.25).
Since 2007, a Michigan swimmer has either finished first or second in the 400-yard IM. Alex Vanderkaay won in 2007 and '08, Tyler Clary won in 2009 and '10, and Kyle Whitaker took second in 2011 and '12.
The Wolverines finished fifth at the 2012 NCAA Championships, their highest team finish since 2004. Eleven Michigan swimmers grabbed a total of 22 NCAA All-America honors and 14 All-America honorable mentions. Dan Madwed led the team with five All-America honors and was named Big Ten Swimmer of the Year for his efforts at both the conference and national meets. California won the national championship for the second year in a row (535.5 points), with Texas finishing second (491).
Michigan has 10 student-athletes on its roster that have received NCAA All-America honors in the past: Hassaan Abdel Khalik (two), Ryan Feeley (one), Sean Fletcher (four), Evan Gregg (one), Connor Jaeger (three), Bruno Ortiz (two), Miguel Ortiz (one), Sean Ryan (four), Kyle Whitaker (six) and Michael Wynalda (two). Additionally, Zachary Turk is a former 14-time NCAA Division III national champion from his three years at Kenyon College (Ohio) and was the NCAA D-III National Swimmer of the Year in 2012.
The Wolverines won 12 individual or relay titles at the Big Ten Championships: 50-yard freestyle (Bruno Ortiz), 100-yard freestyle (Bruno Ortiz), 200-yard freestyle (Anders Lie Nielsen), 500-yard freestyle (Connor Jaeger), 1,650-yard freestyle (Connor Jaeger), 100-yard butterfly (Sean Fletcher), 200-yard butterfly (Dylan Bosch), 200-yard freestyle relay (Sean Fletcher, Bruno Ortiz, Miguel Ortiz, Zachary Turk), 400-yard freestyle relay (Sean Fletcher, Bruno Ortiz, Miguel Ortiz, Zachary Turk), 800-yard freestyle relay (Connor Jaeger, Anders Lie Nielsen, Kyle Whitaker, Michael Wynalda), 200-yard medley relay (Sean Fletcher, Bruno Ortiz, Miguel Ortiz, Zachary Turk) and 400-yard medley relay (Bruno Ortiz, Miguel Ortiz, Sean Fletcher, Richard Funk). Mike Bottom was named Big Ten Coach of the Year for the third year in a row, while Dylan Bosch collected Freshman of the Year honors.
During their four days at the Big Ten Championships, Michigan swimmers set eight school records, four Big Ten Conference records, six Big Ten Championships records and nine pool records. The Wolverines won all five relay titles for the first time in school history and swept the freestyle races (50, 100, 200, 500 and 1,650) for the first time since 1993.
Eleven swimmers were named All-Big Ten this season, including first teamers Dylan Bosch, Sean Fletcher, Richard Funk, Connor Jaeger, Anders Lie Nielsen, Miguel Ortiz, Bruno Ortiz, Zachary Turk, Kyle Whitaker and Michael Wynalda. Sean Ryan was named to the second team.
Beginning in the 2008-09 season, the Wolverines have gone 40-3-1 in dual meets under the direction of head swimming coach Mike Bottom, including a 25-1 mark in Big Ten action. In his five years, Bottom has led Michigan to four Big Ten titles (2009, '11, '12, '13) and four straight top-10 finishes at the NCAA Championships, including a fifth-place finish last season, U-M's highest finish since 2004. Bottom has coached Michigan swimmers to 57 Big Ten individual and relay titles.
The Wolverines won 12 events to capture their third straight Big Ten championship from Feb. 27-March 2 in Bloomington, Ind. [ Recaps: Day One | Day Two | Day Three | Day Four ]

For the past few years, disputes over religious liberty has been very prominent parts of the American legal and political agenda. No observer of the state of religion in our nation can fail to be struck by the series of difficult and contentious controversies. The HHS mandate and the redefinition of marriage are just the most recent examples that have brought the conflict into stark view.
This conflict has attracted a great deal of attention from legal and political scholars. In my view, no book does a better job of explaining its background and likely future course than the recent sobering work by Steven Smith, The Rise and Decline of American Religious Freedom. Prof. Smith is one of the leading scholars of religious liberty, which might scare people off from this book. But his writing is remarkably accessible to non-experts, and anyone with a basic knowledge of American history would find it a fascinating and compelling read.
The basic thesis of the book is to contrast what Prof. Smith calls the "standard story" of American religious liberty, which is generally accepted and taught in academia, with a "revised story" that he proposes as a better explanation for where we've come from and where we're going.
The "standard story", in essence:
tells how, under the influence of the Enlightenment, the American founders broke away from the intolerance and dogmatism of centuries of Christendom and courageously set out on a radical new experiment in religious liberty. More specifically, the founders adopted a Constitution that committed the nation to the separation of religion from government and thus to secular governance that would be neutral toward religion. These commitments were not immediately realized… Even now the achievement is under threat… mainly from religious conservatives…
This basic description of the "standard story" should be familiar to all, since it is reflected in Supreme Court decisions and the general public debate about the role of religion in our society. It is the story that I learned in law school, and, I imagine, that is taught in every high school and college history and political science class. It is the story of the alleged "wall of separation" that keeps push religious groups and ideas out of the public square. It is the reason that our courts and legislatures increasingly find little reason to accommodate or protect unpopular religious beliefs and practices. Prof. Smith says that the general acceptance of the "standard story" has reached such a point that nobody feels a need to explain or defend it. Instead, it has become one of those things of which people say, "as we all know…"
According to Prof. Smith, the problem with the "standard story" is that it is actually false in many significant respects. Instead, he proposes a "revised story" that better explains the history of American religious liberty in key ways:
In the end, Prof. Smith is pessimistic about the future of religious freedom in America, and he believes that life in our nation will suffer as a result. Given all that we have seen in recent years, it is difficult to disagree with him. One thinks of the intransigent refusal of legislatures to grant sufficient conscience clause exemptions from laws redefining marriage, or expanding availability of contraception or abortion. Or we can cite the Administration's denial of the right of religious organizations to choose their own ministers, according to the dictates of their faith. And there is always the rhetorical tactic of certain politicians to brand religious believers as "extremists" who are unwelcome in their own home states. Or the tendency of judicial opinions to brand religious beliefs on marriage as irrational hatred or bigotry.
This book is an important contribution to the ongoing debate over the role of religion in contemporary society. It provides a much-needed balance to the "standard story", which has dominated the public discussion and the law-making process. It is essential that legal professionals, policy makers, and engaged citizens understand the true history of religious liberty.
Prof. Smith reminds us all that religious liberty is very fragile, but it is very important to a healthy American society. Such a fundamental freedom, deeply rooted in American and Western history, cannot be so lightly thrown away, or forced to depend on narrow majorities of the Supreme Court. In particular, he warns us that "states that fail to protect religious freedom usually trample on other freedoms as well".

Democrats in the Senate on Thursday held a recess hearing covering a taxpayer bailout of union pensions and a plan to seize private 401(k) plans to more "fairly" distribute taxpayer-funded pensions to everyone.
I called this one a long time ago, and unfortunately, I am sad to report that they're actually trying to figure out how to do it.
If there's a pitchfork moment in this country it had better show up fairly soon, because if this report is accurate you can bet that these clowns are going to find a way to attach this in some obscure section of a 2,000+ page "must pass" bill - another one of those "you have to pass it so you can read it" deals.
I hate it when I'm right. I hate it even more when tens of millions of Americans are going to get reamed to pay for the crimes of the handful on Wall Street, and their crony enablers in Washington DC.
And by the way - you don't hold hearings on something you don't intend to do.

NSF GRFP reviewers are not allowed to disclose their panel assignment or details about the review process. However, panel members are allowed to tell applicants, in general terms, what reviewers seek in a competitive application packet. Keep in mind that panel perceptions may vary by field of study. In other words, GRFP reviewers from the life sciences may differ from those in engineering or the social sciences. That said, based on my experience, and what others have said to me, I believe that panelists across disciplines share similar impressions about "what it takes" to have a highly competitive GRFP application.

What are you working on?
I finished working on the Bourne Ultimatum, in which I play a Guardian journalist, earlier this year. I was invited to LA for the premiere but I couldn't go because I'm doing an indie project with Shane Meadows (director of This Is England) in Sheffield. I've also been shooting a film in London called My Zinc Bed, based on a David Hare play.
Where would you rather be?
I'm right where I want to be at home in Burton-on-Trent, with the wife and kids. I'm a bit of a homebody really. Shooting films can be very intense. I don't find acting particularly easy; it's pretty exhausting and it gets harder not easier. Afterwards, I don't really want to do anything. We're only half an hour from the Peak District and I like to nip up to Thorpe Cloud, but the weather's been rubbish this summer. If I could close my eyes and be anywhere, I guess it would be back in the Maldives, where we went on our honeymoon.
What's so special about it?
Total tranquillity. It's funny because, at the time, we had odd days when we'd twiddle our thumbs, but when you've got two wee'ans, you're crying out for a bit of downtime. But anywhere that makes the kids happy now would make me happy ... something with loads of water slides and all that.
What would you do there?
Swim with stingrays and little sharks. Chill out.
Where would you stay?
Where we stayed on our honeymoon, the Rangali Hilton. Perfect.
Who would you take with you?
The wife and kids.
What's the one place you'd like to see before you die?
Tokyo. I know it would be very hectic, but it's one of those places I just really want to go to. I'm a bit of a toy collector, so I'd be like a kid in a shop. When I land in a city, I like to find quirky little places and shops, and get on my feet and explore. I've been to LA and New York so many times that I feel there's nothing left there for me to explore. I reckon I'd enjoy the quirkiness and culture of Tokyo.
· The Bourne Ultimatum opens next week

Ellie, 13, is one in a thousand
Young Manchester sprinter Edwards given a lesson that she will never forget
Ellie Edwards had the opportunity of a lifetime when she attended a unique masterclass in Manchester.
Edwards, 13, received specialist coaching from sprint legends Tyson Gay, Debbie Ferguson-McKenzie, Kim Collins, Linford Christie and Felix Sanchez at the indoor athletics track at Sport City.
A Sale Harrier and Manchester High School athlete, Edwards had been invited to the session after winning the Manchester Street Sprints competition last year.
The stars were in Deansgate for the Great City Games which were held on Sunday at a specially constructed street track.
After helping the participants warm-up, the legends put them into separate groups where they were shown sprint starts, how to use blocks and hurdles for the first time and other various drills.
Edwards said: "I found the session extremely beneficial. It was an honour to have been invited."
She is one of the front-runners to win the inaugural JC Daniel Sacks Award in recognition of outstanding sporting achievement. Among her recent performances, Edwards won the Greater Manchester Schools 200m title in a time of 27.6 seconds.
She also completed the Trafford Open Medal Meeting 100m in 13.5 and earned a podium place at the McCain UK Young Athletics Northern Premier League.

Keyboard and Trackpad
The Toshiba Satellite L875-10G's keyboard is a mixed bag. Its 17.3in frame lets the keyboard spread out comfortably, with just the arrow keys subject to severe cutting-down. However, key action suffers from a slight lack of definition - typing would feel more comfortable if the keys pushed against your prods a little more. There's also no keyboard backlight, but such things are rare at the price.
The trackpad fares better. Its surface sports careful texturing that makes swiping a finger across it very comfortable. And it's worth noting that while it may look like there's some embossed contouring going on here, it's actually smooth and flat.
Just below, the mouse buttons do have a bonafide touchy-feely texture, and are completely separated. Whether deliberate or not, the right mouse button sits a little lower than the left at the central seam, adding to the already-tactile design.
Going all-out for screen inches, the Toshiba Satellite L875-10G's display is 17.3in across. For a TN panel, the type most commonly seen in laptops, colours are fairly vibrant, but the maximum brightness setting isn't exactly scorching - once again telling you that this is an indoors laptop.
The screen finish is glossy too, further limiting outdoors potential. Given all these quibbles are minimised when you consider what the L875-10G is really for, the one lingering sour note is that it has a native resolution of 1,600 x 900 pixels, rather than Full HD, or 1,920 x 1,080 pixels. This leaves pixel density at a lowly 106dpi, with individual pixels clear to see - although admittedly this density is actually slightly higher than a 15.6in laptop with a 1,366 x 768 pixel display.
The Toshiba L875-10G features an Intel Core i5 -2450M processor, harking from the Sandy Bridge dynasty of 2011. It's anything but ancient, although with Ivy Bridge laptops shipping out now, it's not cutting-edge either.
PCMark 7 scores - 2187
PCMark 7 Entertainment - 2413However, in gaming-capable laptops like this - where graphics performance is paramount - the GPU will often be the top consideration. It uses an AMD Radeon 7670M dedicated graphics processor with 2GB of its own RAM, leaving the already-hefty 8GB of system RAM for other tasks.
Performance across the board is strong. The Core i5 CPU is capable of handling just about anything you'd ask of a laptop, from fairly heavy image manipulation using something like Adobe Photoshop to video editing.
Gaming performance is good too. The AMD Radeon 7670M is a mid range card that can handle most modern games at playable speed - if not with every shader, shadow and water ripple set to max with very demanding (generally under-optimised) titles like Metro 2033. In the Stalker: Call of Pripyat benchmark it averaged 46.2 frames per second, offering a smooth, highly playable experience.
Trackmania Nations benchmark - 62.2fps
When under pressure, heat distribution isn't perfect, with a hot zone under the right side of the keyboard - near the numerical keypad. However, after a solid hour of strain, the Toshiba L875-10G was only a little warm to the touch.
Toshiba's Satellite L875-10G gets you good performance and a mostly-good-looking design for your money. If you want an at-home laptop that will spend most of its time on a table or desk rather than jumping between laps, it gets you a bigger screen and stronger overall performance than an similarly-priced Ultrabook.
However, as the keyboard is less than impressive we'd tend to opt for the Lenovo G770, which offers superior key action and is available similarly-specced (but with a smaller hard drive) for £80 less. This is the inevitable fate of a laptop that can be matched almost spec-for-spec with models almost a year old. And, unless you need a laptop right this minute, we'd recommend waiting a month or two for the first waves of Ivy Bridge CPU laptops to arrive.
The Toshiba Satellite L875-10G offers good performance for the money. Forgetting all about a super-slim, super-light body, extended battery life and fancy speaker arrays, it's able to offer impressive gaming performance for under £700. And thanks to its part-metal bodywork, it feels sturdy enough too. However, the keyboard action could be better and maximum screen brightness isn't great.

New Pacific Rim Poster - Coyote Tango Giant Japanese Techno-Tyrant
Reported by Jay Cochran - 2013.03.25
The Pacific Rim site has released a new poster for the upcoming sci-fi thriller from Warner Bros.
When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanitys resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroesa washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi)who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. Together, they stand as mankinds last hope against the mounting apocalypse.
Oscar nominee Guillermo del Toro is directing Pacific Rim from a script by Travis Beacham. Thomas Tull, Jon Jashni and Mary Parent are producing, with Callum Greene serving as executive producer.
The film stars Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba, Rinko Kikuchi, Charlie Day , and Ron Perlman. The ensemble cast also includes Max Martini, Robert Kazinsky, Clifton Collins, Jr., Burn Gorman, Larry Joe Campbell, Diego Klattenhoff, and Brad William Henke.
Del Toros behind-the-scenes team includes Academy Award®-winning director of photography Guillermo Navarro, production designer Andrew Neskoromny, editor Peter Amundson, and costume designer Kate Hawley.
Slated for 3D, 2D and IMAX 3D theaters on July 12, Pacific Rim is a presentation of Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures. The film will be distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.

Paul Holmgren on trading Simon Gagne
Paul Holmgren talks about acquiring Matt Walker from Tampa Bay in exchange for Simon Gagne on July 19, 2010.
Flyers trade Gagne to Tampa for defenseman
The Philadelphia Flyers announced today that they have acquired 6'4'', 215-pound defenseman Matt Walker and a fourth round selection in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft from the Tampa Bay Lightning in exchange for left wing Simon Gagne, according to club General Manager Paul Holmgren. "This was a move to solidify our defense,†said Holmgren. "Matt Walker is a right shot defenseman that we like. He brings size, grit and toughness to our backend. Simon Gagne played 10 seasons for the Flyers and was not only a good player for us, but also handled himself in a first class manner on and off the ice.†Walker, 30, appeared in 66 games during the regular season for the Lightning, recording five points (2G,3A) and 90 penalty minutes. "My initial reaction was pure excitement,†said Walker. "To find out that I was coming to Philly, I don't know if I would say it was a life-long dream, but I've always wanted to play in Philly and I thought I would be a good fit there.†Over parts of seven seasons in the NHL with the St. Louis Blues (2002-03 to 2007-08), Chicago Blackhawks (2008-09) and Lightning (2009-10), Walker has recorded 30 points (4G,26A) and 444 penalty minutes in 304 career regular season games, and two assists and 14 penalty minutes in 21 career Stanley Cup Playoff games.

When you consider how relationship development is at the heart of social computing and enterprise 2.0, it should be natural to consider the career and leadership development of your employees in this context. This opens up new areas of thought into what it means to influence and lead others through an entirely digital medium rather than when you have a face-to-face leader. In my Forbes article (on Apr 16), I describe it as digital eminence to differentiate from one's leadership activities and capabilities through non-virtual environments--often amusingly referred to as "in real life", IRL for short).

 The best way that I have found to describe it is in terms of how do people understand, appreciate and recognize your expertise, knowledge and skills through online interactions. This could be anywhere online, even email and chat, but it becomes more visible in social computing environments. I also like to separate this idea from personal brand building. While conceptually you are actually bringing out how you are different and significant from other people--even perhaps Seth Godin's notion of a linchpin in your organization--brand building also harks of self-promotion and ego-stroking. Digital eminence emphasizes what others think of you and your abilities, which may or may not have anything to do with self-promotion.

 A second danger is in trying to quantify what is essentially a qualitative assessment. We should be very careful in considering number of followers, friends in your network, or quantity of posts as an indication of one's digital eminence. When you consider eminence as how you stand out, essentially a comparison versus the aggregate group of others in the same field, it may be seen as a ranking. Similarly, such quantity metrics also reinforce this ranking and rating approach. That raises lots of ethical questions when you look at it per individual.

That aside, the real question is what are you doing about sharing your expertise and skills with others? By doing so, you are building your digital eminence.

 When you consider how relationship development is at the heart of social computing and enterprise 2.0, it should be natural to consider the career and leadership development of your employees in this context.

In other news, I finally turned in my piece for Überbot's Hellboy art show, "Let Them Eat Pancakes!" (July 12th, 7 - 10PM). If you're in the area, check it out and watch me anxiously shift my feet in the presence of works by people like Phil Noto. See a full list of artists and details here.

Jul 8, 2012 - By Bruce Tippets, Sports EditorJohnny Souza pitched a complete game as the Riverton Raiders downed Torrington 4-2 Saturday in an American Legion baseball tournament in Douglas.
The Lovell Mustangs outlasted the Raiders 14-12 in the second game of the day.
The Raiders play again Sunday to end the two-day tournament.
"We just came out with the attitude that we were going to play baseball against Torrington," Riverton assistant coach Cody Beers said. "Johnny's arm was feeling good. We played great defense behind him."
After the Douglas tournament, the Raiders play four straight Northwest conference games.
Riverton plays at Cody on Wednesday in a doubleheader at 5 p.m. and 7 p.m.
The Raiders are 1-2 on the season vs. the Cubs. Riverton returns home on Wednesday, July 18, vs. Powell at Roy Peck Field for 3 p.m. and 5 p.m.
Powell swept the Raiders on June 21 in Park County.
Riverton 4, Torrington 2
Souza struck out 11 Torrington batters in 91 pitches in the seven-inning game. He gave up three hits in the two-run victory.
"That was the best pitching performance of the year," Beers said.
The Raiders scored their first run of the game in the second inning after Maurice King singled, advanced to third, and scored on a squeeze bunt by Josh Oaks. Riverton scored again for a 2-0 lead.
Torrington came back to deadlock the score at 2-2 in the top of the fifth on a couple of hits off Souza.
Riverton added one more in the bottom of the fifth. Nick Esposito singled, and Brady Beers had an RBI double. Riverton crossed home plate for an insurance run in the bottom of the sixth.

In the piece in the Journal today, the article mentions a couple of players we are interested in bringing to the club this summer, and they are new names, and since Derek LLambias was being interviewed – maybe the names came directly from the Managing Director.
Georginio Wijnaldum – PSV attacking midfielder
The two players Newcastle are interested in are said to be PSV play-maker Georginio Wijnaldum, the 22-year-old PSV player, who recently broke into the full Holland senior squad.
The other one is Nicolas Isimat-Mirin, the 21 year-old France U21 center-back who currently plays for Valenciennes.
Both of these look to be excellent up-and-coming players, and would be good acquisitions for Newcastle, depending of course on how much we would have to pay to get them to Tyneside this summer.
Wijnaldum started his career at Feyenoord and made his debut in April, 2007 in the Eredivisie, and he played in the home match against FC Groningen at the very young age of 16 years and 148 days.
Georginio played for Feyenoord until the summer of 2011 when at age 20, he was transferred to PSV for €5M (£4.3M) and at Feyenoord he has played 134 times with 25 goals and 11 assists.
And he has an excellent record at PSV, having played 81 times with 32 goals and 14 assists. So at just 22 he has already played 215 times with 57 goals and 25 assists – not too bad a record at all.
Newcastle were first interested in this lad about a year ago – and here is an article we wrote then about the player – who we called a whiz kid.
Nicolas Isimat-Mirin is shown above and plays as a central defender, and is a former graduate of the Clairefontaine Academy, and he stands 6'2″ tall and played for Valenciennes – although when he left the Academy he joined Rennes and spent two seasons at the club before transferring to his current club in 2008.
From what we can find out, he has played 66 times for Valenciennes and he is right footed and there was news in January that Newcastle scouts were watching a lot of Valenciennes games, although the news was we were interested in 24 year-old Cameroon International left back Gaeten Bong.
Both of these players look excellent players of the future, but we wonder just how much they would need to pay to get them on Tyneside?
What do you think?
We ran this heart wrenching story yesterday on Eve Miller – please help the 10 year-old if you possibly can – many thanks.

Writing reports about different countries used to be a real pain when I was a young man. If only I had the Internet (and more specifically, Google) to help me muddle through. Well, it may be too late for me, but for the younger generation, Google has some nifty commands you can type in to get the facts on countries all over the world.
For example, say you wanted to know the current population of Germany. Sure, you could open an encyclopedia, but that may not be current – you could also browse through Wikipedia, but that takes too long.
Why not type population Germany into the Google search box and be done with it?
See? It's that easy! Just type in a command and the country in question to get the facts! Here are some other ones you can try:
gdp – for gross domestic product
anthem – for the country's national anthem
capital city – for the country's capital
flag – for the country's flag
You can even type location (country name) and get the geographical location in Google maps!
What a handy bit of info!

More Americans hit the road to kick off summer
By Rebekah Kebede
NEW YORK (Reuters) - With the weather warming and gasoline costs dropping, Ken Hyman is looking forward to hitting the open road in his Mustang convertible as Americans head back to the highways in higher numbers this summer.
"You feel free," said Hyman, 67, who likes to wax nostalgic about the feeling of wind in his hair as he drives down the highway.
And he's not the only U.S. driver looking forward to holiday road travel this year.
AAA travel and auto group on Tuesday forecast a 1.5 percent rise in travel compared with 2008 for the U.S. Memorial Day weekend, the beginning of the traditional summer driving season.
The trend will likely continue during the major summer travel holidays of the Fourth of July and Labor Day as lower fuel prices reignite the American love affair with the open road, according to AAA.
"The good news is sharply lower gasoline prices and plentiful travel bargains have Americans feeling better about taking a road trip this summer," AAA President and Chief Executive Officer Robert Darbelnet said.
Lower gasoline prices, travel bargains and pent-up consumer demand will trump concerns about the recession during major holidays this summer, he said.
Approximately 32.4 million Americans will travel 50 miles or more from home during the three-day weekend that ends on Monday, May 25, up from 31.9 million last year. Continued...

PITTSBURGH, April 3, 2014 - Chet Kanojia, founder and CEO of Aereo, whose company is preparing for a major legal test with the TV broadcast industry in the U.S. Supreme Court on April 22, yesterday told attendees at the American Cable Association's 21st Summit that the critical issue is not one of copyright, but rather of a new business model.
"People say this is a copyright case. This is not," said Kanojia at the Washington, D.C., event "It's a business model case. It's a bundling case. People want to protect their bundled rights."
Aereo is shaking up television with its groundbreaking online television technology that enables consumers to access an individual, cloud-based over-the-air antenna and DVR to record and watch HD broadcast television on Internet-connected devices, including smart TVs, smartphones, tablets and computers. Broadcasters have challenged the service in numerous courts.
Kanojia said, "If people understand that half the value can be had at a fraction of the price, and that others like Netflix are innovating at lightning speed and demonstrating that they can create new product outside the ecosystem, then the middle men, the packers, don't have room to play."
Kanojia noted that the money at stake is huge. "The top-three guys in these eight or ten companies probably make a billion dollars a year. When people are making that much money, they forget right and wrong."
Aereo is ready for its fight in the Supreme Court. "The brief is robust," Kanojia said, adding that the crux of the issue is interpretation of the Transmit Clause in federal copyright law and whether it allows individuals to make a copy for themselves on a remote server and stream it to themselves as a private performance.
"The reason you can sing in the shower and not pay Taylor Swift is because Congress has protected this idea of private conduct," said Kanojia.
Although the technology has moved to the cloud - storing music, email, and movies - it's still private," Kanojia said, adding that the question has now become "How long can the wire be?"
Kanojia noted that he has big plans for the company's future. "We have built a cloud-based DVR that's lighting fast at sub $10 a subscriber in cap ex. Looking ahead, our goal is an open platform," he said, adding that the company is ready for a massive expansion into 50 to 60 markets and is looking for partners to help accelerate that.
The ACA Summit, taking place April 1-3 at the Grand Hyatt, 1000 H Street NW, Washington, D.C, is unique in that it highlights the special role that independent cable operators play in providing world class communications services to consumers in hometown America.
As cable's premier event for smaller, independent and competitive cable operators, the ACA Summit is widely considered to be the best opportunity for small business owners that provide advanced communications services to advocate for change in direct exchanges with Obama Administration officials, Capitol Hill lawmakers and senior FCC personnel.
The 21st ACA Summit extends a long tradition as the most important forum nationally for honoring the critical role played by independent cable operators that serve rural and remote regions of the country that are typically much more costly to build out with advanced technology.
The theme of this year's summit - Our Time Is NOW! - underscores the important legislative and regulatory goals ACA and its Members are pursuing on Capitol Hill and at the FCC.

Die Wohnung lag super zentral in Madrid und war nur wenige Gehminuten von der Metro entfernt.Desweiteren war die Wohnung mit allem ausgestattet und sauber.Es gab viele Küchengeräte,Bettwäsche und Handtücher.
Dadurch das es kostenloses Internet gibt,konnte man sich sehr gut informieren über die Stadt und Ausflugsziele.Sehr gerne wieder!
Highly recommended. The apartment has everything. Very cozy and comfortable. Everything went just as we talk to Martha. A great place to enjoy Madrid on foot and discover corners.
Muy recomendado. El apartamento tiene de todo. Muy acogedor y comodo. Todo ha ido tal y como hablamos con Martha. Un lugar genial para disfrutar de Madrid a pie y descubrir rincones.
Apartment pleasant and functional. It is conveniently located and easily accessible. For cons, the street is very noisy!
Appartement agréable et fonctionnel.
Il est bien situé et très facilement accessible.
Par contre, la rue est très bruyante !
Very complete and kettle. Parking complicated and noisy at night, normal for the area. Hostess very friendly and willing.
Muy completo y supercentrico.
Parking complicado y algo ruidoso por la noche; normal por la zona.
Anfitriona muy amable y dispuesta.
Nice apartment, well decorated, very functional and pleasant. Well located, you can walk in the city center on foot. The apartment overlooks a courtyard, the building is not well insulated so a little noise from neighbors, but not annoying. I recommend!
Appartement charmant, bien décoré, très fonctionnel et agréable. Bien situé, on peut aller dans le centre ville à pied.
L'appartement donne sur une cour intérieure, l'immeuble n'est pas très bien isolé donc un peu de bruits de voisinage, mais pas très gênant. Je recommande!
Great apartment. Clean and chic. Centrally located. Everything available is needed.
Tolle Wohnung. Sauber und Chic. Zentral gelegen. Alles vorhanden was benötigt wird.
Wonderful apartment,great central residential location. Easy access to all places of interest and Metro.
Could not have been better !

Martha's apartment was just as pictured in her photos. Nicely renovated with everything you need, including an iron and great wifi. We had communication problems when we organised check in - we had confirmed that our plane would arrive in Madrid by 7.30pm and that we would be at Apartment by 9pm latest. We arrived at apartment and waited for over an hour panicked that we couldn't get a hold of Martha by telephone or email. A kind neighbour assisted us to text Martha in Spanish as it appears she does not speak English. Once this was sent we were able to contact her and she organised for a friend to meet us at apartment an hour after that. We had a long travel, we were tired and had all our luggage so we were quite upset with the misunderstanding. But after that hiccup, stay was excellent. Apartment is in an arty neighbourhood and very central. We generally just walked to everything. It was about 5mins from metro station, Anton Martin. Took us about 35-40 mins from airport by bus. My advice is to ensure both parties are fully aware of check in details, especially with the language barriers if you don't speak Spanish.
Everything perfect, as published
Todo perfecto,de acuerdo a lo publicado
If I were to move to Madrid, I might consider staying permanently in Martha Lucia's apartment near Anton Martin Square. The location is either walking distance or one metro stop from everything. The neighborhood is diverse and a real peek into the daily life of Madrid. Small restaurants and cafes abound. It is a ten minute walk to the Prado through the very interesting art district.
The apartment is simple and comfortable. Martha Lucia has provided everything you could need to enjoy weeks of living in central Madrid. I plan to spend more time in her most pleasant spot.

New Law Would Force NYPD To Be Transparent About Hit & Run Investigations
(Christopher Robbins) In addition to e-cigarette and polystyrene bans, the City Council will pass a law requiring the NYPD to be more transparent when it comes to how they keep records of hit and runs across the city. Intro 1055 requires the department to publish quarterly hit and run reports online that include the number of hit and runs resulting in a critical injury, where they occurred, whether an arrest was made, and what steps were taken to investigate them.
"Critical injury" is defined as "any injury determined to be critical by the emergency medical service personnel responding to any such incident."
The legislation is similar to a bill that was passed earlier this year that required the NYPD to post felony crimes in a searchable map on its website (the number of moving violations the NYPD issues are currently posted each month).
The database required by the bill must be searchable by intersection and updated every month. The law would not go into effect until July of 2015.

A strong undercard has been announced for the May 12th "Island Assault 4: The Battle" pay-per-view-event, featuring Brian "Hawaiian Punch" Viloria vs. Omar Nino Romero III, live from Ynares Sports Arena in Pasig City, Metro Manila, Philippines. The 10-round co-feature matches a pair of former world champions, Julio Cesar "Pingo" Miranda (37-6-1, 29 KOs) and Rodel "Kid Rapido" Mayol (30-5-2, 22 KOs), in a 10-round bout with future world flyweight title fight implications. Miranda, rated No. 3 by the WBO and No. 4 by the World Boxing Association ("WBA"), is a Mexican knockout artist who dropped his WBO title fight last year to Viloria. WBC No. 9 and IBF #12 Mayol, a Filipino now living in Los Angeles, lost his WBC Light Flyweight crown, ironically, to Romero in 2010. The remainder of the May 12 PPV card is filled-out by the next wave of Filipino prospects. Robert "Battlin' Bert" Udtuhan (17-1-1, 13 KOs) faces Alvin Makiling (9-4-1, 2 KOs) in a 12-round match for the Interim WB...

Wowzer, I am three years old today. That's like, um, 21 years in human years. Which means, I can finally drink in public and get into pawsome clubs. Ha ha. As if I would...
I'm excited about today. My mom came up to me this morning and played with me right away. She usually is way too busy getting ready. But today must be my lucky day.
Speaking of which, my real lucky day was when my humans found me at this shelter place. Thank God in Heaven, that they liked me!
For the past three years, I've been living a great life: lots of romps, walks, new friends, a little bit of school, swims in lakes, rivers and oceans, lots of super healthy food and bones and rawhide. Many hours of petting and loving me. And since we moved to the burbs, I am king of the backyard - my very own backyard, yo!
I love my life! And I love my humans. Cannot wait to celebrate my pawsday with my best friends tonight. Woof, woof!
I just got the horrible news that my girlfriend Jeddah passed away this morning. I am pawfully sorry and pray that Jeddah's humans find comfort and solace in knowing that I am still around to love on them. I pray to God that He'll keep Jeddah a great spot in Doggy Heaven so she can wait for me there.
Obviously, I still have a lot of stuff to sniff, pee on, jump on, eat, fetch and a lot of years to spend with Wiebke and Paul but I know I'll see her again some day. :-)
You will always be my first love, Jeddah! A sad Woof! Woof!
Today's my 1st birthday! I'm sooo grown up now! My humans took me to Crissy Fields and I got to swim, play fetch, steal other doggies' balls and roll in the grass. What a day! I love being with my family. From that day they rescued me from that shelter, I've loved them with all my furry heart. As a gift to them, I've looked extra super-cute all day...haha. Woof!

Opinion: After Loose Airplane Seats and Salmonella, Why isn't Deregulation a 2012 Issue?
Of the many different issues both presidential candidates are trying to emphasize, a big one is the matter of 'deregulation.' The Democrats want to regulate banks and other businesses in order to "protect consumers" and the Republicans who want to deregulate and "get government off the backs of business."
Ask the American Airlines passengers whose row of seats came loose and fell backwards last week if they think government regulation of airline safety should be reduced. Ask the people who became ill with salmonella when they ate contaminated peanut butter if government regulation and inspection of food plants should be reduced. A total of 240 different products are now subject to the peanut butter recall.
What about the folks all over the United States who received spinal steroid injections to relieve pain and are now holding their breath to see if they develop symptoms of meningitis. You've seen the stories about injections made at New England Compounding Center of Framingham, MA a pharmacy that "compounds" medication and sells them all over the country.
These outfits fall between the state and federal regulatory cracks and so no one regulates them. Apparently the compounders are supposed to meet some sort of minimal standards. Wow really? No extremely diligent regulations for injections designed to go into your spinal cord!? If I want to start a salon and cut and style hair I need to be certified and I get inspected. If I want to sell tacos I need a load of permits and I get inspected. But if I want to cook up some meds to shoot into your spine, not so much!
It is hard to believe that Americans will actually vote for candidates at any level who want to let companies big or small set their own rules and not take into account the rights and interests of consumers.
It's daunting and depressing not to see more storytelling in this election campaign of the tragedies of not having robust and sufficient regulation of services and products. It's distressing that the Republicans have staked out a position on the "absolute deregulation" end of the political spectrum. I don't understand. Don't Republicans get spinal injections? Don't their kids eat peanut butter?
The "deregulation regime" approach relies on lawsuits to punish perpetrators rather than proactive prevention. Have you ever tried to sue your credit card company, bank, dry cleaner, or boat shipping company? It is a daunting, expensive, time consuming and extremely difficult way of correcting dangerous or deadly mistakes made by companies.
After his poor performance, if I were Barack Obama I'd talk meningitis at the next presidential debate."Mr. Romney, what's your position on the need for regulation by the federal government of pharmacies that compound pharmaceuticals injected into the spine by doctors, clinics, and hospitals all over the US which have the fungus Aspergillus that has killed patients?"
BOOM! Debate won. Deregulation and politics 2012. It's not such a complicated problem at all is it?

The 2011 edition of Interbrand's Best Retail Brands report again lists Target in the second position with a value of $23.3 billion in between number-one-ranked Walmart at $142 billion and third-ranked Home Depot at $20.3 billion.
According to the firm, Target's brand value declined 9% last year but the study offers little insight into a decline, which is rather peculiar given that Target is enjoying newfound momentum with some major strategic initiatives such as PFresh and the REDcard loyalty program. Conversely, Walmart's brand value declined 8% even though the travails of the company's U.S. business are widely documented.
Other U.S. retail brands in the top 10 included Best Buy, CVS, Walgreens, Sam's Club, Coach, Amazon.com and Dell. Some of those names may seem curious for inclusion in the top ten as well as the order. Seventh-ranked Sam's Club with a brand value of $12.4 billion is more valuable than 19th ranked Costco with a value of $5.5 billion. Eighth-ranked Coach has a brand value of $11.6 billion and is well ahead of 20th ranked Victoria's Secret at $4.9 billion and 26th ranked Polo Ralph Lauren at $3 billion.
If some of the rankings don't seem to make sense try reading the report's methodology. There is a fair amount of detail but it can be somewhat challenging to follow with historical financial performance blended with expectations for future performance and some subjective decisions about the role of brand and proprietary algorithms that inhibit transparency. Nevertheless, these types of list make for interesting reading, and the full report can be accessed by clicking here.

Kerry expects Syria to join talks
STOCKHOLM (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry today dismissed suggestions that the Syrian government might not join a U.S.-Russia initiative to negotiate a peaceful transition in Syria.
Syria's information minister said Damascus needs more details about the proposed initiative before it decides whether to attend. But Kerry said he expects Syrian officials to join the international effort and that the U.S. is aware that Syrian negotiators have been selected for the proposed conference.
Kerry made his comments during a trip to Sweden. Washington and Moscow — which are on opposite sides of the Syrian conflict — called last week for an international conference to start talks that would be accompanied by a cease-fire in the two-year-old war.

How To Planet 10,000 Trees in One Day
During UNEP's World Environment Day activities, schoolchildren hold saplings at Umuganda, the monthly day of community service, in Rwanda on June 4, 2010. Ten thousand trees were planted. Photo by Meaghan O'Neill.
In the animated film Wall-E, there's a pivotal scene where the eponymous trash-robot hero presents a delicate plant, potted in an old boot, to his new friend and future soul mate, Eva. The small plant, healthy yet so vulnerable, represents both the resilience and fragility of life on Earth. A tiny sapling I saw planted last week during Umuganda, the monthly day of community service in Rwanda, reminded me of that scene.
Worldwide, 70,000 trees were planted on World Environment Day this year, according to UNEP -- 10,000 of them in Rwanda during this event on the outskirts of the capital city of Kigali. I was there (my trip was sponsored by UNEP) along with hundreds of schoolchildren, business people, soldiers, and many, many others, all of whom grabbed a hoe, carried a sapling, and took responsibility for ensuring the future health and biodiversity of the Nyandungu wetlands, and with them, symbolically, life on this planet.
From the inside, I'll admit, the planting felt somewhat haphazard (I never did find out what kind of trees we were planting, though I was assured they were indigenous), but at the end of the morning, when I looked back at the tiny trees scattered throughout the valley, I realized what we'd accomplished.
"Ten Thousand Trees, One Day," is how my traveling companion (and UNEP WED blog contest winner) Tuesday Phillips succinctly put it in the headline of her blog post about the experience. To date, UNEP's Billion Tree campaign has planted more than 10 billion trees planet-wide.
The UN has declared 2010 the International Year of Diversity, and, as such, the theme for World Environment Day this year followed suit, with the tagline "Many Species. One Planet. One Future."

My 2001 focus 1600 had a problem with the speedometer suddenly going to zero. I read about the circuit board problems and went over all the solder joints on the back with a soldering iron, just keeping it on each joint until it melted. It sounds labourious but didn't take that long to do. You have to be very careful doing it but as it was a last resort before replacing the unit, I thought it was worth it. I had previously tried spraying with WD 40, but with no effect. After the resoldering there was an immediate improvement. Before, the speedo would go off many times during a journey, with the millage LCDs also going to dashes and the engine management light coming on. After the repair, the speedo would just go off once or twice breifly at the start of a journey but then would be fine. I then redid the earth points which are near the washer bottle and are prone to corrosion. This stopped the speedo problem all together and it now works all the time. The earth terminals were very rusty and I would recommend plenty of WD40 before attempting to undo the bolts, to prevent them shearing off.

Chemiluminescence as a probe of polymer oxidation
Blakey, Idriss, Goss, Benjamin G., & George, Graeme A. (2006) Chemiluminescence as a probe of polymer oxidation. Australian Journal of Chemistry, 59(8), pp. 485-498.
Many oxidation reactions of organic materials, including polymers, are accompanied by the emission of weak chemiluminescence (CL). From a study of the mechanism of this weak CL, it is shown that the time development of the CL intensity may provide the kinetics of the oxidation reaction and is thus a sensitive probe of the degradation of the material. The intensity of emission reflects the concentration of peroxidic species in the material. Whereas the kinetics of the oxidation may be described by a series of elementary, homogeneous free radical reactions, the use of imaging techniques has shown that the oxidation of polymers such as polypropylene is highly heterogeneous. A model that describes the oxidation as spreading through the material as an infection from a number of initiating sites is able to rationalize these observations and provide a new approach to the prediction of the useful lifetime of a polymeric material.
