Caramel Potato Rolls Recipe
There is a burst of cinnamon in every bite of these ooey gooey tender rolls. They are good to have on hand when someone drops in for a cup of coffee. Maybe that's why we have so many people dropping in for coffee.—Florence Jerome, Helena, Montana

SONNY BILL WILLIAMS has hit back at criticism that his fight against Francois Botha was cut short and accused the South African of dirty tactics.
Williams won a unanimous points decision over the former world heavyweight champion but the fight ended in controversy as Botha claimed the match had been scheduled for 12 rounds and he had the Sydney Roosters' star recruit in serious trouble when it ended after 10 rounds.
With sport reeling from a report by the Australian Crime Commission alleging widespread doping and corruption, Botha, who tested positive to drugs in 1995, said: ''Isn't this match fixing?''
Williams said he had only prepared for 10 rounds - the same as his last bout 12 months ago for the New Zealand heavyweight title - and claimed the blow that rocked him had come after referee Tony Kettlewell had stopped the fight to separate the pair.
''He rocked me in the last round but that was from a dirty shot,'' Williams told Fairfax Media. ''The fight was broken up and he just hooked me.''
Williams's trainer Mick Akkaway, who had worked with him in Japan while he was recovering from surgery for a pectoral muscle tear, was fuming that Kettlewell had allowed Botha to repeatedly land late shots at times when the fight was stopped.
''He hit him on the break, the referee said stop and then he hit him on the side - that was not cool," Akkaway said. ''The referee said stop and he hit him once, the referee said stop again and he hit him another two times and the referee said stop.''
Sportsbet has offered to refund bets on Botha and at least two of the ringside judges said they had thought the fight was scheduled for 12 rounds but Williams insisted he had always believed it would be shorter.
''I thought it was going for 10, I thought it was just like the New Zealand title that I fought for - that was 10 rounds - and my whole preparation was based on 10 rounds,'' Williams said.
Botha said he would protest the decision but Fairfax Media was told on Saturday that he is extremely unlikely to go through with the threat.
Williams's manager and promoter, Khoder Nasser, said he had spoken with the WBA and boxing's oldest sanctioning body had no issue with the bout being 10 rounds as it was not an official world title fight.
Botha's promoter, Thinus Strydom, admitted he had discovered shortly before the fight, which was for the vacant WBA international heavyweight belt, that the bout would be 10 rounds but he did not tell his charge.
''I found out when they were walking in,'' Strydom said. ''They called me aside and said, 'Listen it's been cut down to 10 rounds'. I said to my guy, 'Don't tell him'. Before the bell, you don't do things like that. The last round was cut short and Sonny Bill was out.''
Despite boos from sections of a crowd that included a large contingent of his new Roosters teammates, fellow ex-Bulldogs Reni Maitua,Willie Tonga and Nate Myles and Broncos star Justin Hodges, Williams said he was proud of what he had achieved in just his sixth fight.
''I beat a guy that has fought eight different world champions, he might have lost most of them but he is a guy who had fought 60 times and only lost eight times. Now he has lost another one,'' Williams said.
''He got me with a couple of shots at the end but I have never gone past six rounds before so I am just proud of myself after six fights to have taken on someone with the experience he has and coming out on top.
''Being the old crafty bugger … he was punching me in the back of the head, standing on my feet to try to stop me moving and things like that.
''I have had no amateur background, so it is probably only really my second professional fight.
''Everyone will write it how they want to but my family and close friends are all proud of me so that is what makes me happy.''

RE "Romney says dependent 47% back Obama" (Page A1, Sept. 18): Mitt Romney has nothing to apologize for. He stated the truth that some people will not take responsibility for themselves, and that some see themselves as "victims."
I am a lower-middle-class citizen, and am tired of counting my change at the store to pay for my groceries when the person in front of me, dressed to the nines in designer clothes, just slides his or her EBT card, and walks out into a new car.
I resent Barack Obama's aunt living off my husband's and my hard-earned tax money when I am the same age and have more health problems.
Wake up, America.
This country goes down the tubes when our sense of entitlement exceeds our sense of appreciation for working for a living.

HERSHEY — Tracey Green wasn't exactly on Pennsylvania wrestling's radar screen when the season opened last December.
But he is now ... and will be when next season gets under way this December.
The undersized but overachieving Methacton junior proved he was among the state's premier heavyweights this weekend by finishing sixth at 285 pounds during the PIAA-Class AAA Championships at the Giant Center.
The noticably shorter and lighter Green, surrendering upwards of 5-to-6 inches and 35-to-50 pounds to his opponents all year, won three of his six bouts over the grueling three days here, dropping his last one, 2-0, to Warwick senior Tom Devenney.
Green was the fifth and final Pioneer Athletic Conference medalist on the mats Saturday night, joining Boyertown's Jordan Wood (second at 220), and Owen J. Roberts' threesome of Derek Gulotta (eighth at 113), Colby Frank (eighth at 126) and Gordon Bolig (eighth at 182).
"If in the beginning of the year you would've said Tracey was among the top six in the state, well, I don't know about that," said Methacton head coach A.J. Maida. "I thought he could get here, absolutely, and then anything would be possible. But I don't know if I could've said top six in the beginning of the year."
Green (38-6) — Methacton's first state medalist in the heavyweight bracket and 22nd overall — got here by dominating at the PAC-10, District 1-West and Southeast Regional tournaments. And he made a top-six finish possible by recovering from a quarterfinal loss with back-to-back, overtime thrillers over Frankin Regional's Luke Fleck and Altoona's Austin Rosenberry. Then, after a consolation semifinal setback to Kiski Area's Shane Kuhn, he lost his finale to Devenney (42-5).
"I met my expectations," the soft-spoken Green said. "But it was so exciting to come here, and such a good experience for me. It's been the best experience of my life. I'm really happy with my wrestling. I've improved a lot since last year."
Improved so much that he'll definitely be in this season's final state rankings and, of course, be in an even more admirable spot when he opens his senior season ... not bad for someone who was an unknown soul statewide just a few months ago.
"I just improved a lot since last year," Green said. "I improved on everthing, like my skills, strength, stamina and conditioning.
"When I got here the (wrestlers) were better than I expected. There were some big guys, some strong guys. I learned every point counts."
Long before arriving here Thursday, though, Green made a point of becoming a better wrestler himself, too.
"Tracey was a freshman during (former state runner-up) Brad Clarke's senior year," Maida explained. "They were partners (in the practice room). Clarke was an older guy, but he had a motor, too.
"So Tracey learned from the best. He also took the ball and moved it forward, too."
Green motored by a lot of more recognizeable heavyweight names ... the old-fashioned way.
"Hard work," Maida said. "We alway stress to our kids that their strength and conditionining should be better than anyone they're wrestling. Tracey bought into that. He doesn't wear down, and he's so strong. He's probably stronger than anyone he wrestles, he's just not as heavy."
That's evident during weigh-ins.
"But when Tracey went against Nazareth's (returning state runner-up) Aaron Bradley in the final of the Nazareth Invitational, was only down 3-1 in the third period and was still pushing the action. that kind of opened our eyes," Maida said.
Much like how his wrestling this weekend opened the eyes of many, many others.
And lit up that radar screen.
* * *
Gulotta (40-9) had to settle for his second straight eight-place finish at 113 after an up-and-down weekend. The Wildcat sophomore dominated in his two wins, but a two-point loss in the quarterfinals and a quick pin in the consolation quarterfinals dropped him into the position he was a year ago. And the end result was the same as a year ago, this time a third-period pin by Chambersburg's Tanner Shoap (41-9) denying him a season-ending victory.
Frank (29-7), positioned to get here last season before coming up short due to an injury, got into a thriller with Dallastown's Rodney Sunday in the consolation quarterfinals before falling 4-3. The junior came back in the seventh-place final only to get pinned by Big Spring senior and Southcentral Regional runner-up Dustin Rook (20-4).
Bolig (47-8 ), who won one of three bouts here a year ago, will sure remember 3-2 ... as in the final score of all three of his losses this week. His first was to eventual state champion Jacob Taylor of Bald Eagle Area in the quarterfinals; his second was to Martin Strenk of Delaware Valley in the consolation quarterfinals; and his third was to Alex DeCiantis of North Allegheny (35-4) in the seventh-place final.
The disappointing 0-for-3 on Saturday night didn't diminish what otherwise was a super season for all three of the Wildcats and, for that matter, the entire Owen J. Roberts team.
"Anytime you bring three kids here and all of them medal it's special," said OJR head coach Steve DeRafelo. "I know we've never done it before, so that alone makes it special. To do it you have to get the best out of your kids at the right time.
"It's actually bittersweet for us. All three of them had good quarterfinals. They were right there, so close. They lost, but you have to give them credit the way they battled back."
Bolig was one of the movers and shakers on this year's PAC-10 and District 1 Team Duals championship team. He'll be graduating, but Gulotta and Frank will return to the Wildcats' lineup next season ... and DeRafelo see's that as a big plus for the program.
"It'll be big having their experience back," he said. "(Gulotta's) been here twice, and now (Frank) has been here. But they still have work to do. They're not where they want to be on that medal stand, believe me. So we have to get back to work. We still have some things to clean up."
But this season won't be one DeRafelo or the devoted OJR following will soon forget, either.
"You don't ever accomplish everything you want to," DeRafelo said. "But the kids should be proud, and our team should be proud, of what they all accomplished this year."
District 1 finished with 19 medalists among its 42 qualifiers out of the Southeast Regional. ... All four of the district's finalists - Norristown's Zach Fuentes (113), Penncrest's Joe Gartland (170), Norristown's Brett Harner (182) and Wood all settled for runner-up honors. ... The three-day tournament attracted 47,778 fans.

The lights are on
I always like to double invert the right stick. It feels great especially in third person action games when controlling the camera.
Back when people came to my house to play games, Area 51 was one of the games and it was only inverted and it took me about 30 minutes to adjust. I also always have inverted for aircraft. So, I can go either way.
I think I can play both. I don't remember when or why I got switched back and forth, but now I can see why either makes sense.
Always inverted for which my son-in-law gives me no end of s*t.
I've always played standard, unless I'm in a ship of some sort.
I once tried switching to inverted just to see what it was like and never ended up switching it back and got used to it. So now I play all of my games with inverted controls. All of my friends make fun of me and ask how I could possible play like that haha
I just found out, that it was after playing FFXII on PS3 i "converted" to use inverted.
And now i have problems on some demos where you can´t invert the Y-axis, and that is really annoying!!
always inverted. pushing forward to go up makes no sense in my mind. do you tilt your head forward to look up? no.
If you tilt your head far enough, you will be facing up! hah....
I play whatever way the game starts you in sometimes its inverted but other times its not so I'm good :D
When a person wants to look down they lean forward. When they look up they lean back. I don't look at the stick as up and down but rather forward and backward. Inverted makes sense.
I play regular for shooters, but inverted for any game where I fly.
I always used to play inverted back when Halo first came out and I always felt so cool but something came along and changed me and now it just feels right to play standard.

POLICE have encouraged south-west revellers to take appropriate steps to ensure they party safely this festive season.
Partygoers and supervisors can now register their events with Victoria Police more quickly and easily using the website www.police.vic.gov.au/partysafe.
Warrnambool Acting Senior Sergeant Tania Barbary said that in the past people had to register their parties at police stations but could now fill out forms online, as well as download PartySafe brochures to ensure they were providing the safest possible party environment.
"The benefit is it makes us aware of parties going on so we can target patrols in the general area and make sure there aren't any unwanted partygoers, which means everyone can have a good time without things getting out of hand," Acting Senior Sergeant Barbary said.
"They can also seek advice on practices to take to make the party safe."
She said it was important to ensure alcohol was responsibly controlled around anyone underage, and to be aware of the dangers of providing party information via social media and websites.
"This is pertinent because people supplying liquor in a residence without written and verbal consent from parents attracts a fine of $845. If a party is registered with us we know exactly where a party is at and we can patrol it, so if a response is required we can make it timely and safe as possible for everybody."
Party hosts are encouraged to fill out as much of the form as possible, including how many people will be attending, the average age of guests and whether there is planned supervision by parents or other responsible adults.

Apple Loses the iPad Mini Trademark 144
An anonymous reader writes in with bad news for Apple. "It would appear that Apple has lost an attempt to trademark the 'iPad Mini.' This time it's not nefarious foreigners subverting the just order of things simply by trademarking something several years before Apple did. No, that was what happened in Brazil with the IFone. Nor is it people nefariously selling the rights to everywhere but China but Apple's lawyers didn't notice, as happened with iPad in China. No, this time it's the U.S. Patents and Trademarks Office saying that Apple simply cannot have a trademark on 'iPad Mini.' For the simple reason that the law doesn't allow them to trademark something which is just a description of the product."

Sir Alex Ferguson believes Ryan Giggs' astonishing career even eclipses that of legendary Italian Paolo Maldini.
The evergreen Manchester United man will be making his 900th appearance if he plays some part of the Europa League last-32 encounter with Ajax at Old Trafford.
Ferguson said: "Obviously Maldini was a magnificent player but there is a distinction. Maldini was a defender and although in his case, he probably put in a lot of running as a full-back, wide players have more work to do."
Maldini's first-team career with AC Milan spanned 24 years and he also made 900 appearances; 902 to be exact, before he quit, in 2009, a month before his 41st birthday.
On Giggs, Ferguson added: "He keeps defying age. This season he has just been the same as he was back in Moscow. There is nothing changed from his performance level then as it is today."
As they had a weekend off immediately after the first-leg triumph in Amsterdam, it is only now Ferguson is being forced to wrestle with the thorny issue of a Thursday night turnaround to Sunday, which has proved so problematic to so many teams.
A trip to Norwich is hardly ideal so there is a chance Giggs will not have any more than a fleeting involvement.
The same might have been said of Wayne Rooney, even without the sore throat that rules him out anyway, putting that journey to Carrow Road on to Rooney's agenda.
And, as Ferguson points out, he has more than enough alternatives who do need some time on the pitch as his injury concerns start to ease, with even Michael Owen back in training that might allow a return from a groin strain within a couple of weeks.
"There are a lot of players who need a game; Nani, Young, Hernandez, Cleverley, Smalling, Jones," said the Scot. "Those players will all play tomorrow and we hope to put a sprinkling of experience amongst it."

Nine runners will race seven furlongs topped by morning line favorite Puskita (5-2), who in just four starts has won three times in Maryland along with a runner-up finish in the Beautiful Day Stakes at Delaware Park. Larry Murray trains the 4-year-old daughter of Indian Charlie and Malcolm Franklin is the only rider she has ever known. After missing six months with a cracked splint bone, the daughter of Indian Charlie won a pair of allowance starts at Laurel in a five-week period. Since her last start on January 22, Puskita posted a bullet workout at Laurel.
Co-second choices on the program are defending champion All Giving (3-1) and Fascinatin' Rhythm (3-1). All Giving is a workhorse, with ten lifetime wins which also includes victories in The Very One Stakes at Pimlico and the Alma North at Timonium last year. Jonathan Joyce rides the Allen's Prospect offspring for trainer Flint Stites.
Fascinatin' Rhythm has finished in the money in seven consecutive starts, including four stakes races. She rallied to finish third under Mario Pino in the Grade II Barbara Fritchie on February 14, her most recent start. Pino retains the mount for trainer Richard Small.
After winning just three times in her first 35 career starts, Met A Miner (7-2) was claimed for $14,000 by trainer Scott Lake and has reeled off two wins in front running fashion. Abel Castellano was aboard for both scores and retains the mount on the daughter of Allen's Prospect.
"All Giving is certainly a very nice horse," added Murray. "But the big unknown is the horse Lake is running. Those two that she's run under him have been huge. To me she is the wildcard.
Completing the lineup are Two Columbus (15-1), Fancy Diamond (15-10), Church Bell (20-1), Southafrican Ball (20-1) and My Little Pretty (20-1).
The Conniver is the last race on the Laurel program and the first leg of the Magna 5 wager. The Magna 5 has a carryover of $218,895 from last week.
Jockey turned trainer Dane Kobiskie, who hung up his tack in February 2008 to begin conditioning horses, returned to the saddle in today's seventh race and guided Mysterious Bandit to a gate-to wire victory over seven other optional/claimers. Kobiskie trains the seven-year-old mare for PTK LLC. She paid $6.40.
"No pressure," said Kobiskie. "Jenna Joubert is my stable rider but she's still injured, and my second choice Julian Pimentel is on days (suspended), so I said, 'you know what, I rode this horse, and I'll ride her myself'."
Last summer at Colonial Downs, Kobiskie saddled and rode Citi Charisse, another of his charges, and guided her to a stakes victory.
The 30-year-old now has 290 wins as a rider and 39 as a trainer, including five during the current Laurel Park winter meeting.

Energy Watch: As the financial crisis eases, an energy shortage lies ahead
Goldman Sachs Global Economics, Commodities and Strategy Research June 3, 2009
Commodities Energy Watch
As the financial crisis eases, an energy shortage lies ahead With a credit dislocation in timespreads reversed and the risk of breaching storage capacity reduced, we are raising our oil price forecasts. Because the recent rally was driven mostly by credit normalization, the market has not yet priced in an economic recovery.
The credit normalization rally before the economic recovery rally WTI prices rallied to our end-of-year target of $65/bbl by the end of May, as timespreads strengthened in the face of rising inventories. In our view, this unusual behavior, suggests that the rally was driven by the unwinding of pricing dislocations caused by the credit crisis and the avoidance of breaching storage capacity.
Because this rally has been largely a reversal of pricing dislocations, we view it as the prologue to the rally in WTI prices that we continue to expect will accompany the economic recovery. With the risk of further pricing dislocations reduced, we are omitting the prior anticipated price pullback from our forecasts and have raised our 3-month ahead price target to $75/bbl from $52/bbl.
From financial crisis back to energy shortages The recent rally in WTI prices is likely to be but the first stage in the oil price rally that we expect will accompany a recovery in economic activity. In all, we expect the rally we have just observed to be followed by three more stages, creating a four-stage rally in oil prices in 2009 and 2010:
2009H2: A cyclical bull market as the economy stabilizes and OPEC maintains cuts to draw inventories to 10-year average levels. We are raising our end of 2009 WTI price forecast to $85/bbl from $65/bbl.
2010H1: A structural bull market as long-dated prices rise to motivate renewed Non-OPEC production capacity investment while OPEC spare capacity returns to the market in an attempt to bridge the gap. We are raising our 12-month WTI price target to $90/bbl from $70/bbl.
2010H2: A likely return to energy shortages as dwindling OPEC spare capacity is likely unable to meet rising demand as Non-OPEC production growth is restricted by limited investment in oil production infrastructure. We are introducing an end 2010 WTI price forecast of $95/bbl.

Oh and Rehnquist stopped going and John Paul Stevens never attended either, so there.
He thinks about his legacy, and I know he worries about the institution as Rehnquist did.
Chief Justice Rehnquist, who oversaw the Clinton impeachment, was, like Perry, a lower-back-pain sufferer.
According to a friend who, to this day, fears being identified, Chief Justice Rehnquist "went berserk."

Sweden to Make Denial of Service Attacks Illegal 108
paulraps writes "Sweden is to pass legislation making Denial of Service attacks illegal. The offense will carry a maximum jail term of two years, and is thought to be a direct response to the attack which crashed the Swedish police's web site last summer. Nobody was charged for that, but the fact that it came shortly after a raid on the Pirate Bay's servers was thought by many to be not entirely coincidental. Sweden's move follows the UK, which is even tougher on web attackers — there the sentence can be over five years in prison."

BlackRock ( BLK), the U.S. asset manager and world's largest, agreed to buy Credit Suisse's ( CS) exchange-traded fund business. BlackRock said the purchase of the unit, which has $17.6 billion of client assets under management, is expected to close by the end of the second quarter. Terms of the deal weren't disclosed. 7 Stocks Rising on Unusual Volume
Sprint Nextel ( S) is under no pressure to raise its $2 billion offer for Clearwire ( CLWR) to beat a higher bid by Dish Network ( DISH), Reuters reported, citing three sources close to the matter. Sprint believes it holds several trump cards it can play to thwart rival Dish, the sources said. Dish earlier this week offered to acquire Clearwire for $3.30 a share, or $5.15 billion, topping a bid from Sprint of $2.97 a share.

Attorney General Bill Lockyer Issues Statement Regarding Supreme Court Proposition 215 Ruling
(SACRAMENTO) – California Attorney General Bill Lockyer made the following statement regarding the California Supreme Court's ruling today in People v. Mower:
"The California Supreme Court's decision today provides the state with a welcome and needed interpretation of important aspects of the Compassionate Use Act of 1996. As a supporter of Proposition 215, I believe that the court's decision strikes an appropriate balance in helping to ensure that truly needy patients whose doctors have recommended medical marijuana to alleviate pain and suffering related to serious illnesses will have access to this medicine under California law.
"I also agree with the court that the law does not confer complete immunity from prosecution, but instead allows courts to determine whether a defendant is appropriately charged with violating state law. While today's decision changes the standard jury instruction that has been employed in similar cases throughout California, it is unclear what impact it will have on previous medical marijuana convictions.
"The ruling provides much needed guidance in interpreting an initiative that did not clearly specify how the law should apply. Until legislation such as SB 187 by Sen. John Vasconcellos – which contains many provisions recommended by my Proposition 215 Implementation Task Force, composed of district attorneys, law enforcement representatives, medical professionals and medical marijuana proponents – is enacted to provide statutory guidelines, we will continue to rely on the courts to interpret Proposition 215."

R-Phils ready for updated name, look11/04/2012 8:10 PM ET
By Jonathan Raymond / Special to MLB.com
For 46 years, Double-A Reading has carried the name of its parent club, the Philadelphia Phillies. Beginning in 2013, however, the Eastern League franchise will be fitted with its own identity.
Reading announced Sunday that te team will be changing its nickname, logo and uniforms for the upcoming season, with a ceremony to unveil the new look taking place on Nov. 17 at FirstEnergy Stadium.
Established in 1967, the club has won four Eastern League titles, most recently in 2001, when the Phillies were co-champions with New Britain. Reading's affiliation with Philadelphia is currently Minor League Baseball's longest-standing relationship.
"We've come to realize we want our fans to be able to have their own brand," Reading general manager Scott Hunsicker told The Reading Eagle. "We want to be able to celebrate our association with the Philadelphia Phillies, yet at the same time give our fans their own name so that they can wave their flag even more proudly as fans of the Reading franchise."
The team turned to San Diego-based marketing firm Brandiose to orchestrate the rebranding. The company has worked with the Harrisburg Senators, Lehigh Valley IronPigs and Richmond Flying Squirrels in creating their own identities.
Before the ceremony on Nov. 17, the Phillies will march to the stadium as part of the annual Reading Holiday Parade. The official name change will be announced in the afternoon at an event that will include a performance by Grammy Award-winning guitarist David Cullen.
Fans who want to attend must register by signing up for the team's Baseballtown Insider newsletter.
"Since 1967, the Reading Phillies have been the proud affiliates of the Philadelphia Phillies," Hunsicker said in a statement. "Our relationship is the longest affiliation in the Minor Leagues and there has never been a better time to be a Phillies affiliate. Considering the heritage and fun nature of Baseballtown, our entire front office is extremely anxious to unveil and share our new name with everyone on Nov. 17."
The R-Phils went 76-66 this season, finishing second in the Eastern Division and earning a Wild Card playoff berth. They fell to Trenton, 3-1, in the best-of-5 semifinals.
Reading drew 9,477 for the Baseballtown All-Star Classic, setting an Eastern League record. The Phillies went on to lead the circuit in attendance, topping the 400,000 mark for a record-breaking 15th season.

A jury Monday night convicted two men of armed robbery and false imprisonment in the May 16-17 armed robbery/home invasion that paralyzed downtown Savannah the following day.
The Chatham County Superior Court jury also convicted Kevin Dale Brooks of burglary and aggravated assault on Earl Hamilton, but acquitted him on aggravated assault on Hamilton's 12-year-old son and of kidnapping Hamilton by forcing him to downtown Savannah.
The jury convicted Brian Jones on burglary and aggravated assault on the elder Hamilton, but acquitted him on aggravated assault on Hamilton's son, Earl B. Hamilton.
The jury returned the verdict after four hours of deliberations.
Judge Michael Karpf will impose sentence at a later day. Both defendants were returned to the Chatham County jail pending sentencing.

Jason Taylor is returning to the Miami Dolphins.
I am reporting that Taylor was contacted by both Tony Sparano and Jeff Ireland in recent days and invited to fill Miami's role as a depth pass rusher.
He has accepted.
He announced his return to the Dolphins on his Jason Taylor Foundation Facebook page.
Taylor has also told and texted several teammates so this is absolutely happening. It is no joke.
Taylor, 36, is returning to the team after the second stint away -- the lastest last season with the New York Jets, with whom he went to the AFC Championship game. Taylor had five sacks with New York last season.
The Dolphins have been searching for depth pass-rush help since the middle of last season. While Koa Misi remains the team's starting strongside linebacker and Cameron Wake is the team's weakside linebacker on early downs, the Dolphins are looking for help in obvious passing downs.
Taylor is author of 132.5 career sacks. He played with Miami from 1997-2007 and then was traded to the Washington Redskins for a second round pick by Bill Parcells in 2008. He returned to the Dolphins in 2009 and gave the Dolphins seven sacks.
But the Dolphins showed little interest in Taylor last season and he took the only offer that was on the table: From the Jets.
The Jets, however, are going in another direction this year.
Good idea?
I like it. While Taylor is not the sack machine he was early in his career, he is a threat. He is a great locker room presence. And as of now, he is a Miami Dolphin.

Python Materials Genomics is a robust materials analysis code that defines core object representations for structures and molecules with support for many electronic structure codes. It is currently the core analysis code powering the Materials Project (www.materialsproject.org).
Project description
Pymatgen (Python Materials Genomics) is a robust, open-source Python library for materials analysis. It currently powers the public Materials Project (http://www.materialsproject.org), an initiative to make calculated properties of all known inorganic materials available to materials researchers. These are some of the main features:
- Highly flexible classes for the representation of Element, Site, Molecule, Structure objects.
- Extensive io capabilities to manipulate many VASP (http://cms.mpi.univie.ac.at/vasp/) and ABINIT (http://www.abinit.org/) input and output files and the crystallographic information file format. This includes generating Structure objects from vasp input and output. There is also support for Gaussian input files and XYZ file for molecules.
- Comprehensive tool to generate and view compositional and grand canonical phase diagrams.
- Electronic structure analyses (DOS and Bandstructure).
- Integration with the Materials Project REST API.
Pymatgen, like all scientific research, will always be a work in progress. While the development team will always strive to avoid backward incompatible changes, they are sometimes unavoidable, and tough decisions have to be made for the long term health of the code.
Pymatgen is free to use. However, we also welcome your help to improve this library by making your own contributions. These contributions can be in the form of additional tools or modules you develop, or even simple things such as bug reports. Please report any bugs and issues at pymatgen's Github page. If you wish to be notified of pymatgen releases, you may become a member of pymatgen's Google Groups page.
Why use pymatgen?
There are many materials analysis codes out there, both commerical and free. So you might ask - why should I use pymatgen over others? Pymatgen offer several advantages over other codes out there:
- It is (fairly) robust. Pymatgen is used in the Materials Project. As such, the analysis it produces survives rigorous scrutiny every single day. Bugs tend to be found and corrected quickly. Furthermore, pymatgen uses CircleCI for continuous integration, which ensures that all unittests pass with every commit.
- It is well documented. A fairly comprehensive documentation has been written to help you get to grips with it quickly. That means more efficient research.
- It is open. That means you are free to use it, and you can also contribute to it. It also means that pymatgen is continuously being improved. We have a policy of attributing any code you contribute to any publication you choose. Contributing to pymatgen means your research becomes more visible, which translates to greater impact.
- It is fast. Many of the core numerical methods in pymatgen have been optimized by vectorizing in numpy. This means that coordinate manipulations are extremely fast and are in fact comparable to codes written in other languages. Pymatgen also comes with a complete system for handling periodic boundary conditions.
Getting pymatgen
Before installing pymatgen, you may need to first install a few critical dependencies manually. Please refer to the official pymatgen page for installation details and requirements.
- Installation has been tested to be most successful with gcc, and several external C dependencies have issues with icc. Use gcc where possible and do "export CC=gcc" prior to installation.
- Numpy's distutils is needed to compile the spglib and pyhull dependencies. This should be the first thing you install.
- Pyhull and PyCifRW. The recent versions of pip does not allow the installation of externally hosted files. Furthermore, there are some issues with easy_install for these extensions. Install both these dependencies manually using "pip install <package> –allow-external <package> –allow-unverified <package>".
Stable version
The version at the Python Package Index (PyPI) is always the latest stable release that will be hopefully, be relatively bug-free. The easiest way to install pymatgen on any system is to use easy_install or pip, as follows:
easy_install pymatgen
pip install pymatgen
Some extra functionality (e.g., generation of POTCARs) do require additional setup (please see the official pymatgen page).
Note for Windows users: Given that pymatgen requires several Python C extensions, it is generally recommended that you install it in a cygwin or equivalent environment with the necessary compilers.
Developmental version
The bleeding edge developmental version is at the pymatgen's Github repo. The developmental version is likely to be more buggy, but may contain new features. The Github version include test files as well for complete unit testing. After cloning the source, you can type:
python setup.py install
or to install the package in developmental mode:
python setup.py develop
To run the very comprehensive suite of unittests, make sure you have nose installed and then just type:
in the pymatgen root directory.
Using pymatgen
Please refer to the official pymatgen page for tutorials and examples.

The federation of Malaysia was formed in 1963, under the conscientious, subtle and ingenious sign of Virgo. Beneath the apparently adaptable surface, there is a powerful innate drive in this horoscope toward constant self-renewal and transformation. M
alaysia has never been what she appears to be in the outer world. Over the next few years this nation is likely to experience profound internal changes, particularly in regard to her sense of roots and affiliations with neighbouring countries. A strong sense of independence and self-assertion, arising from within, is likely to inaugurate major political and economic changes, reflecting the transit of Pluto forming strong aspects to the country's Sun placed in the house of roots and origins. In addition, the revolutionary qualities of Uranus, passing through Aquarius and moving over the point in Malaysia's horoscope which describes its image and role in the outer world, suggests that many changes may occur in the structure of government which create a freer, more equal society.
The innate aspiration toward free thinking and an open, tolerant, friendly interchange with the world may be expressed in important social reforms and a renovation of attitudes and laws regarding work, employment, and the relationship between the people and the government. This could be an exciting, dynamic, and sometimes unstable time for Malaysia as the very basis on which the country was formed, and its innate, instinctive style of government, are subjected to Pluto's transformative energies. Whether or not you are personally in accord with the changes described, this is, for Malaysia, truly the beginning of a new era.

No! It can't be that expensive!Me: the wood alone would probably run at least $300-350. And I'll need a couple of router bits, and a couple of drawer knobs to match the species, and some hardware to make some jigs....Guest: that's outrageous!Me: that's a conservative estimate.Guest: but you've got wood just laying around.Me: not that species.

WILSON, N.C. –Barton's sophomore third baseman Rebecka Morgan had the game-winning RBI in both games as Barton College upset Conference Carolinas foe Coker College by scores of 4-3 (8 innings) and 1-0 Monday afternoon at Jeffries Field.
The Lady Bulldogs (19-25 Overall, 5-11) swept the perennial conference power for the first time under the leadership of 15th year head coach Sheryl Neff.
Barton ended a nine game win streak for the Lady Cobras (21-19, 9-7).
Morgan (Huntingtown, Md.) and juniors Kendall Street (Bertie, N.C.) and Stacy Wade (Snow Hill, N.C.) all collected three hits for the Bulldogs. Junior Emily Jordan (Goldsboro, N.C.) and freshman Autumn Pittman (Pikeville, N.C.) each tossed complete-game victories as the duo never allowed an earned run.
Sophomore Sarah Rountree (Plantation, Fla.) was the leading hitter for the Cobras with four hits on the day including a triple in game two. Freshman Sydney Weatherford (Scranton, S.C.) and sophomore Bri Jacobs (Bolton, N.C.) were both 2-for-3 with an RBI in game one.
GAME ONE: Barton 4, Coker 3
After Coker scored its international tie-breaker runner in the top of the eighth, Barton plated a pair of runs in the home half capped by a walk-off single by Morgan as the hosts escaped with a 4-3 win in the opener.
With one out in the eighth Wade hit a single into the left field gap that moved the potential tying runner in Jordan to third. After a passed ball moved Wade to second, sophomore Elizabeth Webb (Wilson, N.C.) hit a sacrifice fly caught in the right field foul territory that was deep enough to tag up both Jordan and Wade. Morgan then stepped into the batter's box with Barton down to its final out and ripped a single back up the middle to plate Wade for the final run.
Barton took a 1-0 lead in the first on an RBI-groundout by Webb and a 2-1 advantage in the fourth on a run-producing single off Street's bat. Coker deadlocked the score both times to force extra innings with unearned runs in the fourth and sixth. Jacobs knotted the score at 2-2 with a single in the sixth and a sacrifice fly in the eighth by Weatherford gave the visitors its only lead of the day.
Jordan (10-9) scattered nine hits and did not allow an earned run while fanning three Cobras.
Senior starter Sydney Greenwalt (Edwardsville, Ill.) kept Coker in the contest only allowing one earned run over eight strong innings but eventually suffered the loss to slip to 10-7. The lefty had four K's.
GAME TWO: Barton 1, Coker 0
Pittman hurled her first collegiate shutout as Barton completed the sweep with a narrow 1-0 victory in the nightcap. Pittman (3-3) retired the first nine batters, did not issue a walk and struck out a pair.
Morgan supplied the Lady Bulldogs with the game's only run in the third.
Coker had its best chance to score in the sixth when Rountree led off with a triple to right but Pittman successfully pitched herself out of the jam with an ensuing groundout followed by a strikeout and a popup.

SANTIAGO, Chile - Former UC Santa Barbara All-American Tony Lochead rejoined the New Zealand National Team for two matches against Chile April 25 and 27. In other Gaucho soccer news, standout forward Thiago Martins was acquired by the Colorado Rapids from the New York Red Bulls April 21.
Lochhead, who began his play on New Zealand's National teams with the Under-16 squad and has competed on each concurrent squad up to and including the Under-23's, started in each game against Chile. The All Whites dropped both matches, falling 4-1 on April 25 in the town of Racagua, before losing a 1-0 decision two days later in Calera. Striker Shane Smeltz netted New Zealand's only goal of the two-match series in the 14th minute of the opener.
The Tauranga, New Zealand native was selected by New England of the MLS in the 3rd round (33rd overall) of the 2005 Major League Soccer SuperDraft. Lochhead has appeared in four games in his first season with the Revolution, starting twice. His first-career start came April 30 in a 2-1 loss to the Chicago Fire.
In his four years at UC Santa Barbara, Lochhead missed just five matches, all because of suspension or national team duty. The 7,546 minutes played in his career are the most of any field player in UCSB history. He capped his four-year college career at UCSB by helping lead the Gauchos to the NCAA Division I College Cup Final. After his senior year, Lochhead was named NSCAA All-America Second Team, the highest honor ever bestowed upon a UCSB player, as well as making the All-Big West First Team and being named Big West Defensive Player of the Year.
Martins, meanwhile, was acquired by the Rapids from the New York Red Bulls in exchange for forward Jean Philippe Peguero. The trade also sends the Red Bulls' 2007 First and Third Round Natural Draft picks to Colorado.
The Sao Paolo, Brazil native, who joined the MLS in 2003, played two seasons with DC United before Chivas USA claimed him in the 2005 MLS Expansion Draft. Martins played a total of 22 games for the Los Angeles-based club, netting three goals and one assist with Chivas. He played in just one game for the New York Red Bulls before being traded to the Rapids.
Martins became the first Gaucho to sign a professional contract with an MLS team when he signed on to play for DC United. While at UCSB he earned First Team All-MPSF honors as a senior after leading the squad with six goals and 14 points.

Ok so these layout managers are driving me crazy. I am trying to create a Tetris program but my **** keeps on getting resized, and once I fix one thing something else gets moved. I created a simple program that encapsulates my problems:
Code :
package BorderTest; import java.awt.*; import javax.swing.*; import javax.swing.border.*; public class BorderTest extends JFrame { public BorderTest() { //setLayout(null); setSize(300, 676); BorderPanel borderPanel = new BorderPanel(); add(borderPanel); setVisible(true); } public static void main(String[] args) { new BorderTest(); } } class BorderPanel extends JPanel { public BorderPanel() { setSize(300, 676); Border b = BorderFactory.createLineBorder(Color.BLACK, 10); this.setBorder(b); setVisible(true); } public void paintComponent(Graphics g) { Graphics draw = g; draw.fill3DRect(10, 150, 40, 40, true); draw.fill3DRect(10, 635, 41, 41, true); } }
When the program is compiled and run, you can see that although the size is set to 300x676 the second rectangle does not show unless the bottom is extended, meaning my JFrame height is somehow getting changed to 640ish. I tried setting the layout to null to see if that helped, but the height is still wrong and now the border is messed up. What is causing these changes, how can I fix it, and why must layouts be so difficult?

Voting-reform legislation, which has been proposed in 34 states, brings me back to 2004, when John Kerry tried to unseat George W. Bush.
The purpose of this new legislation is to prevent voter fraud. According to the Brennan Center for Justice at the New York University School of Law — an academic think tank that took pains to represent both sides of this issue in a recent report — the way the new laws would help prevent voting fraud is, simply put, by making it harder for people to vote. Across the board, this legislation would place additional restrictions on what someone must do or produce at the polling place before pulling any levers, punching any cards, or pressing any touch-screens.
These restrictions, which invariably require photo identification, fall most heavily on young, minority, and low-income voters, according to the authors of the Brennan report, published this month. It notes that 11 percent of citizens, or some 21 million people, do not have photo IDs.
In 2004, I was among a throng of East End residents who traveled to Florida to try to get out the vote for Senator Kerry. A friend and I signed up with the Election Protection Project, which was supported by a coalition of organizations. We wound up in Fort Lauderdale, going door to door and trying to assist people headed to the polls. As volunteers, we worked under the auspices of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
In looking back, I think our participation was most effective as a means of educating us, the volunteers, about the crazy hoops many Americans, especially poor Americans, must jump through to exercise their most fundamental democratic right. We saw scores and scores of citizens — mainly black, mainly from working-class or poor neighborhoods — who stood patiently in ine by the hundreds, in the Florida heat, for five, seven, nine hours before they reached the voting booth.
We did our best to help anyone who appeared to be having difficulties (mainly with their registration or transportation), but, really, most of the people we spoke with were thoroughly familiar with the process — and, in most cases, had already put aside their lives and jobs to spend Election Day waiting in line. Some parents brought along small children for the duration, having nowhere else to park them.
In any case, although it was a wonderful experience, I don't think our Election Protection efforts swayed the result in our district. Fort Lauderdale is in Broward County, which is heavily Democratic. President Bush won Florida by five points, 52.1 percent to 47.1, and Broward was the only county to go for Senator Kerry. There, he took 53.7 percent of the vote to President Bush's 45.8.
Because my late parents lived in a retirement community not far from Fort Lauderdale in the 1980s, I was also struck on Election Day by the number of elderly voters being bused to the polls. Some needed help walking, while others needed Good Samaritans in the voting booth. It was gratifying to be there.
Meanwhile, we kept a wary eye on a different group of volunteers gathered near the entrance to our assigned polling place: a group of distinctly hefty, thuggish-looking men who kept watch on the lines while one of their number checked a mysterious clipboard and made phone calls. Honestly, they reminded us of well-dressed extras from a gangster movie, brought in to look menacing and scare off anyone who might make trouble. We never did figure out what they were doing.
We had been instructed to move along the lines of waiting voters, offering to try to answer any general questions about the process. We carried the phone number of the N.A.A.C.P. headquarters, where lawyers stood by in case advice or intervention was needed. I saw only one instance when a lawyer was called.
The Brennan Center's report is nonpartisan and comprehensive. It describes what proponents of these laws as well as what the opponents have to say about them. It gives detailed information about why the laws impact disproportionately the elderly, minorities, students, those with low incomes, and even the disabled. It notes that although strict photo ID requirements for voting have been suggested for almost a decade, the push for them escalated after 2010, when Republicans took over many state legislatures.
In a state-by-state analysis, the Brennan Center report notes that Texas and Florida now even have laws on the books that target groups that undertake voter-registration drives.
The Florida law, which dates back to 2005 and has been subsequently rewritten, is under federal review to determine if it violates the Voting Rights Act. Nevertheless, the League of Women Voters has discontinued its registration drives in Florida, saying the law would "place thousands of volunteers at risk, subjecting them to a process . . . [that] could result in their facing financial and civil penalties."
While many of us can personally remember the days, not so long ago, when millions of African-Americans were disenfranchised by intentionally draconian voting requirements and institutionalized intimidation, there has simply been no evidence in this country of widespread voter fraud, according to the Brennan Center. The report says our registration system already provides among the most significant barriers to voting, resulting in the disenfranchisement of millions of American during every federal election.
It is easy to find the report on the Web if you are interested. Draw your own conclusions.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) -- Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel still has three years of eligibility left at Texas A&M.
But a tweet he sent out early Sunday morning has some wondering how long he'll stay.
Starting the tweet with an expletive, Manziel's said stuff "like tonight is why I can't wait to leave college station... whenever it may be." The comment went out to Manziel's more than 350,000 followers from his verified account before it was deleted almost immediately.
He soon followed another tweet, saying: "Don't ever forget that I love A&M with all of my heart, but please please walk a day in my shoes."
The quarterback led the Aggies to a win at eventual national champion Alabama last season, and became the first freshman to win the Heisman.
A Texas A&M spokesman says that he does not expect a statement from Manziel or the university on the matter.

It's worse for the same reasons why bad security is worse than no security: A false sense of security. Without, you don't know whether the person is fine.

Not me, thank you.

If it was routable, remote management over SSH by the doctor might be useful. The cardiologist could, for example, do a few runs of dd(1) and determine whether you're ready to have sex with your wife, or whether some additional tweaks are first needed.
The downside, of course, is the patient being a Unix user and discovering the localhost interface.

Warning: mild gore in link.
That's assuming that someone sets up a scheduler to actually do these checkups. When my Dad has his pacemaker put in, he was supposed to go back to the hospital every few months to have the data the device was collecting downloaded...
In this case, it sounds like the patient requires continuous monitoring, like you'd get in the ICU. Note that it's not just connecting to the nearest unlocked router -- there's application-specific equipment at her house. This has got to be a ton cheaper than the ICU (or at l
Now, when our generation gets to "a certain age" (which I'm closer to than y'all, having passed 40)... maybe we'll be more willing to crowdsource our heart rhythm.
as another member of the "over 40" group, I'd have to say "No" to that idea.
This is by no means the first "wirelessly-monitored" pacemaker. Pacemakers and ICDs have been linked to home monitoring equipment for several years, and that equipment routinely communicates with a central monitoring station (usually via a modem).
Now, if the pacemaker itself was doing the communicating directly (say over any Wifi or cellular network) that would be pretty amazing. But they point out that the pacemaker doesn't have an IP address, and it's only communicating with equipment in the patient's home. That sounds a lot like existing technology, except perhaps that the final link (home monitoring device -> monitoring station) is being performed via IP rather than a phone line. That's nice, but certainly not very exciting. And why does it require a whole new pacemaker to make this upgrade?
Clearly there's something to this article that I'm not seeing...
It would be interesting if they put the monitoring equipment in a cell phone, then even though the device has a short range it could be continuously monitored from anywhere not just the house, as long as the lady had her phone with her.
This is nothing new. Boston Scientific (formerly Guidant) Latitude system has been working wirelessly in exactly this manner for nearly five years.
And "researchers" have been trying to hack the protocol -- mainly by reverse engineering the wanded communication.
Gradma is in more danger of a "pillow-attack" for the inheritance than someone trying to tweak her pacing.
Thousands of 4channers suddenly stop what they were doing and in unison spit out, 'WHAT just got connected to the Internet?' as smiles spreads across their faces.
This just remind me of that Harkonnen heart plug from Dune
As someone fitted with a pacemaker of late, having means to often update the doc with performance data would be nice - if not downright life-saving.
With current technology, I have to go in for my "tuneup" every six months. It does involve a wireless interface, and there is an impressive amount of data dumped. A great many parameters can be changed with ease by a trained technician. When we determined that my natural resting heartrate was under 60bpm, reprogramming that to a minimum of 50bpm was trivial.
Transmitting ongoing data to the doc would be convenient, making it easy to email "hey, something funny happened today, please look into it" without having to wait until a scheduled appointment involving a not-always-available technician. Being able to transmit critical event as they occur is also very desirable - duh; my Medical Alert necklace may direct medics to call my cardiologist, who would be much more effective if he already had incident data.
Of course the real problem is remote control. Informing the doc of ongoing/critical data is one thing; allowing access to make remote updates is a different issue. Making the unit such that remote changes are impossible is, of course, possible. However, if ANY change will be made to such a critical device, then it should be done IN A DOCTOR'S OFFICE. One of my diagnostic routines is dropping my heart rate to 40bpm - harmless if done right, lethal if screwed up.
Of course the real concern to most
When something impressive comes along, most
Like you said, Remote logging of activity - incredibly useful, right?
Remote control, for example, is simply one of the largest hazards.

Article indicates the pacemaker doesn't have an IP address, and only connects via 402-405 MHz radio link.
However, it's nearly inevitable that a later version of it and/or those of another pacemaker manufacturer will have its own IP.
Those with access to a large bot net could easily scan for pacemaker software and then target all or, more likely, a specific person(s) to remotely sabotage their pacemaker, possibly resulting in death...
Most killers won't go to such extremes, since there are numerous easier, less traceable ways of killing. But for people in prison, remote killing has its appeal
To digress somewhat, there are already numerous horror stories of people's on-line medical records getting mixed up / corrupted due to identity theives who seek care under someone elses name - and to make matters worse, ID victims generally do NOT have the right to see that extraneous data nor have it removed. So I'm highly skeptical of the security of on-line medical devices when even on-line medical records aren't as secure as they should be.

As for electronic records, don't worry, it appears the US is right on track to stick with the most arcane, inefficient, and not-particularly-effective medical system in the modernized world, so the chances of us making any new types of errors are fairly low! Yay!

First Internet-Connected Pacemaker Goes Dead
Every six months my pacemaker is checked. Part of the test is to speed and slow down the pacemaker and my heart for a short time.
It is a truly a scary and heartfelt experience.
" the pacemaker itself doesn't have an IP address, fun as that would be."
Cant be done.
You cant have a tcp connection without a source IP.
Now maybe the IP is forcefully dynamic and always within the private ranges.... buts thats another thing. K?
Why is that fishy? The pacemaker talks to the base station unit, reporting it's status. The only thing connected to the internet is the base station. It doesn't need an IP address any more than a wireless HID does when attached to a computer.
This isn't even very new, really. Devices like this already exist, they just use telephony to literally "phone home" instead of the intarwebernets
The pacemaker is not connected to the internet. The "base station" is and that is what the doctors are remotely checking. The pacemaker is just sending its current state to the "base station". The pacemaker is no more connected to the internet than a wireless keyboard or a pair of bluetooth headphones are.
A key thing that is left out (But what most people have surmised):
Pacemaker <--MICS Band--> Home monitoring unit (developed by pacemaker company; obtains IP address - typically via dial-up.) <--TCP/IP--> PaceMaker Companies Servers <-- TCP/IP--> Physician Web connection

Video: Event Honors Endowed Professors
- 04-29-2014
- By University Communications
For the first time in its long history, the University of Vermont paused on April 16 to specifically honor dozens of its best and brightest faculty members with an Investiture Ceremony for endowed chairs and professors. More than fifty faculty were recognized in the colorful program in Ira Allen Chapel.
The day also recognized the donors whose generous gifts over the years have created UVM's endowed chairs and professorships.
