Summit County Police Blotter: Texting inmate charged with felony
Editor's note: The police blotter is written from incident reports provided by local police departments and the Summit County Sheriff's Office. All individuals named are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
A woman who allegedly used her cellphone to send a text as she was being booked into the Summit County detention facility Aug. 28 was charged with introducing contraband in the second degree, a Class VI felony.
The woman reportedly told authorities at the jail she needed to retrieve her cellphone to pull phone numbers from it. She was warned not to make any calls or send any texts while handling the phone, as it is a felony to do so, according to a report from the Summit County Sheriff's Office.
The woman was reportedly seen soon after "using her thumbs to enter in more information then (sic) was necessary to retrieve phone numbers," the report stated. A deputy who was monitoring the facility from the control room also relayed to the woman that he could see her typing text messages into the phone.
A short time later, the woman's father reportedly called to inquire about a text message he'd received from her letting him know she was in jail for a year, according to the report.
"By using the cellphone to text, it poses a threat to the safety and security of the facility allowing sensitive information to be released and or contact a protected party," the report stated.
The woman was later charged with the felony of introducing contraband.
SCSO: Man allegedly assaults deputies
A man who was apparently intoxicated and injured at River Run in Keystone Sept. 2 was charged with assault after he allegedly hit and head-butted sheriff's office deputies.
Authorities reportedly found the man lying on the floor, injured, covered in blood and yelling incoherently at a building in Keystone, according to a report from the sheriff's office.
Passers-by told authorities the man had too much to drink at a nearby bar and fell down on his face, the report states.
When firefighters arrived on scene and began asking the man medical questions, he reportedly became angry and combative, swearing and punching a firefighter under the chin.
Deputies then attempted to put the man in custody, and he began to threaten to kill the deputies and became more combative, spitting blood at the firefighter. As authorities were escorting him out of the building he head-butted one of the deputies and kicked another in the kneecap.
He was eventually taken to the Summit County Jail where he was charged with two counts of second-degree assault, one count of third-degree assault and one count of obstructing a peace officer.
Purse stolen from Breck bar
A woman reported a small black-and-white purse missing Aug. 24 from a bar in Breckenridge.
According to a Breckenridge police report, the purse was last seen on a seat near the dance floor. After searching the building, the owner could not find the bag, according to the report.
It contained approximately $50 in cash and the purse itself and remaining contents were valued at an additional $100.
Although the bar does have video surveillance, it was busy that night and officers were unable to determine what happened from the tape, according to the report.
Robbery suspect nabbed
A man suspected of robbing a shopper at a Frisco grocery store was arrested through the collaborative effort of the Silverthorne and Frisco police departments and the Summit County Sheriff's Office.
The suspect reportedly threatened the victim in the grocery store, saying he had a weapon. He allegedly took unspecified prescription drugs from the victim and managed to elude police and escape the store, according to a report from the Silverthorne police.
The local law enforcement agencies then worked to identify the suspect and later apprehended him.

bpython - A fancy curses interface to the Python interactive interpreter
Pygments (apt-get install python-pygments)
A few people asked for stuff like syntax highlighting and autocomplete for the Python interactive interpreter. IPython seems to offer this (plus you can get readline behaviour in the vanilla interpreter) but I tried IPython a couple of times. Perhaps I didn't really get it, but I get the feeling that the ideas behind IPython are pretty different to bpython. I didn't want to create a whole development environment; I simply wanted to provide a couple of neat features that already exist and turn them into something a little more interactive.
The idea is to provide the user with all the features in-line, much like modern IDEs, but in a simple, lightweight package that can be run in a terminal window, so curses seemed like the best choice. Sorry if you use Windows.
bpython doesn't attempt to create anything new or groundbreaking, it simply brings together a few neat ideas and focuses on practicality and usefulness. For this reason, the "Rewind" function should be taken with a pinch of salt, but personally I have found it to be very useful. I use bpython now whenever I would normally use the vanilla interpreter, e.g. for testing out solutions to people's problems on IRC, quickly testing a method of doing something without creating a temporary file, etc..
I hope you find it useful and please feel free to submit any bugs/patches (yeah right)/suggestions to: firstname.lastname@example.com or place them at the bitbucket issue page for this project at: http://bitbucket.org/bobf/bpython/issues/
For any other ways of communicating with bpython users and devs you can find us at the communication page on the projects homepage: http://bpython-interpreter.org/community
Hope to see you there!
- In-line syntax highlighting.
- This uses Pygments for lexing the code as you type, and colours appropriately. Pygments does a great job of doing all of the tricky stuff and really leaving me with very little to do except format the tokens in all my favourite colours.
- Readline-like autocomplete with suggestions displayed
- as you type.
- Thanks to Python's readline interface to libreadline and a ready-made class for using a Python interpreter's scope as the dataset, the only work here was displaying the readline matches as you type in a separate curses window below/above the cursor.
- Expected parameter list.
- As in a lot of modern IDEs, bpython will attempt to display a list of parameters for any function you call. The inspect module is tried first, which works with any Python function, and then pydoc if that fails, which seems to be pretty adequate, but obviously in some cases it's simply not possible. I used pyparsing to cure my nested parentheses woes; again, it was nice and easy.
- Rewind.
- I didn't call this "Undo" because I thought that would be misleading, but "Rewind" is probably as bad. The idea is that the code entered is kept in memory and when the Rewind function is called, the last line is popped and the entire code is re-evaluated. As you can imagine, this has a lot of potential problems, but for defining classes and functions, I've found it to be nothing but useful.
- Pastebin code/write to file.
- I don't really use the save thing much, but the pastebin thing's great. Hit a key and what you see on the screen will be sent to a pastebin and a URL is returned for you to do what you like with. I've hardcoded paste.pocoo.org in for now, that needs to be fixed so it's configurable. Next release, I promise.
- Flush curses screen to stdout.
- A featurette, perhaps, but I thought it was worth noting. I can't personally recall a curses app that does this, perhaps it's often not useful, but when you quit bpython, the screen data will be flushed to stdout, so it basically looks the same as if you had quit the vanilla interpreter.
See the sample-config file for a list of available options. You should save your config file as ~/.bpython/config or specify at the command line:
bpython -c /path/to/bpython/config

Except for nonmelanoma skin cancer, breast cancer remains the most frequently diagnosed cancer in women. But cancer experts say that women should feel encouraged by the current breakthroughs in detection and treatment.
In recent years, researchers have discovered new and better ways to detect and treat breast cancer--and to keep it from coming back, the American Cancer Society (ACS) says. These new developments stem from a vast body of research. Recent advances, along with greater public awareness of the importance of breast exams, have caused a decline in breast cancer deaths in women since 1990.
Here's a roundup of what's on the horizon in the areas of mammography, surgery, and hormonal therapy. Keep in mind that all these advances are not yet widely available and many may not be appropriate for everyone. Any treatment decisions must be made by a woman and her doctor, based on her particular cancer, her medical and physical history, and her doctor's clinical judgment.
No doubt about it: Finding breast cancer early increases treatment options and saves lives. Study after study has shown that regular mammograms play a vital role in early cancer detection.
Thanks to advances in digital technology, mammography may become an even more valuable tool in the future. Currently, standard mammography captures images on film or digitally on computers. But research centers around the country are now testing 3D digital mammography or tomosynthesis, an extension of digital mammography. Tomosynthesis allows the breast to be viewed as many thin slices, which can be combined into a 3D picture. It may allow doctors to detect smaller lesions or ones that would otherwise be hidden with standard mammograms. But it's still experimental and not available outside of clinical trials.
An alternative to using X-rays is magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which uses radio waves and strong magnets to view body tissue, the ACS says. Although MRIs are common in helping to diagnose other diseases, they must be specially adapted to scan the breast. They can be used as a follow-up after mammography has found cancer in the breast, or to screen women at high risk for breast cancer. More research is needed, however, to find out if MRIs are any better than mammography at finding small breast cancers. In 2007, the ACS recommended new guidelines that include screening MRI with mammography for certain high-risk women.
Before an abnormality on a mammogram is diagnosed as cancer, doctors typically order a biopsy. This is a procedure in which a doctor removes a small tissue sample from the breast and examines it under a microscope. This is the only way to tell if cancer is really present. The sample may be removed using a needle or open surgery. When using a needle to perform the biopsy, the doctor usually guides it into the area by feeling the lump. If a lump is too small to be felt, doctors have used ultrasound or a computer to help guide the needle.
The newest biopsy technique being studied uses MRIs to help doctors get a clearer picture of the tissue being sampled, the ACS says. In this type of biopsy, a doctor can take many tissue samples through one small incision. Researchers say this procedure is being studied in women with a personal or family history of breast cancer, those who have already had breast surgery, and those with dense breast tissue.
Once breast cancer has been diagnosed, most women have some type of surgery to treat it. A lumpectomy removes only the breast lump with a small amount of tissue around it. Partial, or segmental, mastectomy removes more breast tissue than a lumpectomy. A mastectomy removes the whole breast.
For women who undergo a mastectomy with immediate breast reconstruction, a procedure called skin-sparing mastectomy (SSM) is becoming more popular, the ACS says. In a traditional mastectomy, the skin of the breast is removed along with other tissue. In SSM, however, the cancer surgeon removes the breast tissue, but leaves the skin that covers the breast in place. Implants or tissue from other parts of the body is then used to reconstruct the breast.
This approach has not been used as long as standard mastectomy, but some women prefer it because it gives the advantage of less scar tissue and a more natural appearance to the reconstructed breast.
During a lumpectomy or mastectomy, lymph nodes under the arm may be removed to check whether the cancer has spread. In the past, several lymph nodes had to be removed, which sometimes led to uncomfortable side effects such as numbness or swelling of the arm. Today, however, a less extensive procedure known as sentinel node biopsy may be another option, the ACS says. Research suggests that it may be just as effective at indicating whether cancer has spread.
In a sentinel node biopsy, a special dye or radioactive substance is injected near the tumor and carried by the lymph system to the first, or sentinel, node to which the tumor drains. Once this node has been identified, it can be removed and checked for cancer. If none is found, it may not be necessary to remove more nodes.
After surgery, many women receive additional treatment to destroy any remaining cancer cells. Radiation therapy uses high-energy rays to destroy cancer cells or to slow their growth. It can be used to target any cancer cells that may remain in the breast or in nearby tissues. Systemic therapy, on the other hand, targets cancer cells that may have spread beyond the breast area. The two main types of systemic therapy are chemotherapy and hormonal therapy. Accelerated partial breast irradiation is now offered for women who need radiation after a lumpectomy. Its advantage is in accelerating the radiation treatment into less time, making it more convenient.
Chemotherapy involves powerful anticancer drugs that are either injected into a vein or swallowed as a pill. Doctors are now studying new dosage regimens and drug combinations to find the ones that are most effective for women in specific situations. One treatment option that is being both studied and used is monoclonal antibody therapy.
Hormonal therapy refers to treatments that affect hormone levels in the body. Estrogen, a female hormone, causes some breast cancers to grow. For women with such cancers, various methods may be used to block the effects of estrogen or to lower estrogen levels. The most widely used estrogen-blocking drug is tamoxifen. A class of drugs called aromatase inhibitors is also available. Aromatase inhibitors include letrozole, anastrozole, and exemestane. These drugs, which stop the body from making estrogen, only work for women past menopause.
Today, the five-year survival rate for women whose breast cancer is caught before it has spread outside the breast is 98 percent. As detection and treatment methods continue to improve, this percentage should increase.

MILWAUKEE/CHICAGO (Reuters) - Investigators looking into possible wrongdoing by Republican Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker expanded their probe the day before he was elected governor in 2010, seizing computers and hard drives from his offices, documents revealed on Wednesday.
The documents were released in connection with a criminal case involving a former Walker aide, as part of an investigation into county workers illegally campaigning for Republican candidates when Walker was working as county executive.
Walker was not indicted in the three-year probe that led to six convictions. His campaign said that the documents were part of a legal process completed early last year, and he is confident they were "thoroughly reviewed by the authorities."
Democrats compared the Walker case with the controversy surrounding New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, another potential Republican presidential candidate, whose aides are accused of tying up traffic to punish a political opponent.
"This wasn't the work of a few rogue staffers - this was a coordinated effort that goes right to the top," said Michael Czin, national press secretary for the Democratic National Committee.
Walker is running for re-election as governor in 2014 against Democratic businesswoman Mary Burke and is considered an emerging top-tier candidate for the Republican presidential nomination in 2016.
The 28,000 pages of documents, mostly emails, involve Kelly Rindfleisch, Walker's former deputy chief of staff, who is appealing her conviction for misconduct in public office. A state appellate judge ordered the documents unsealed at the request of news organizations.
Rindfleisch has admitted to doing campaign work for Republicans while she was on the clock for Milwaukee County, where Walker was county executive from 2002 until his election as governor in 2010.
The documents show that on November 1, 2010, investigators requested and received permission to seize hard drives and other equipment from Walker's offices, though it did not seek Walker's own computer, according to a transcript of a secret court hearing.
David Budde, an investigator for the Milwaukee County district attorney's office, testified that Walker "would appear to be aware" that laptops were used in his offices for accessing non-County networks, according to the transcript.
Budde refers to a May 14, 2010 email in which Walker discusses a Milwaukee Journal Sentinel story which reported that Walker aide Darlene Wink spent much of her time at her county job posting pro-Walker comments online. The Walker email has already been made public, according to the Journal Sentinel.
Walker wrote in the e-mail: "We cannot afford another story like this one. No one can give them any reason to do another story. That means no laptops, no web sites, no time away during the workday, et cetera."
Budde also discusses e-mails that seem to set up a daily campaign coordination conference call in Walker's office.
The document release will not likely hurt Walker's chances to be Republican presidential candidate, said Mordecai Lee, a political science professor at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
"His ultimate defense is that they had all these documents and I wasn't indicted and I was never charged," Lee said.

First of all I would like to apologise for my photos. I know many crafty sites don't like funny edited photos or photos taken with a phone, but unfortunately when we moved just before Christmas, the camera has decided to go into hiding. No matter where I look, I cannot find it. I know it is here, but it is the one thing that has eluded me from the move.
Stampotique Designers Challenge is hosting a "use some text" challenge this week. I happened to have started work on a large project, and was incorporating text into the cover, so this is my entry for this week.
One of my niece's was married in December, and as part of the wedding, guests were asked to note down some well wishes, some advice, some encouragement, anything to express their love for the bride and groom. I am collating these into an A4 album for them, along with some fun photo booth photos taken by my son (it was an early 1900s themed wedding).
I have kept the palette very simple, using Kraft cardstock for the base, white, pumice stone and black, with hints of blue (the wedding accent colour). You can see as part of the design of the cover I have typed up portions of the wedding vows on the right hand side, and also stamped out a few lines of the vows in pumice stone for depth and interest.
Thanks for visiting :)

No more crying over spilled milk
COLUMBIA CITY — After several years of the dairy club having to dump its milk, Veterinarian and 4-H parent, Dave Brelage, will be purchasing the club's product.Brelage will be buying the club's milk for 50 cents per gallon — less than they would make if a milkman came to pick it up, but that has been hard to come by."Since most of the milk cows go home after the first day of the fair, we don't produce a lot of milk anymore," said Brandy Studebaker, Dairy Club leader. "It's great to actually make some money off of it."The club only managed to find one company that would pick up its milk, due to the low quantity.To read the rest of this story, see the July 17 issue of The Post and Mail.

I will be speaking at SES London and New York on a session called Search, PR and the Social Butterfly with a good friend of mine Mel Carson, Microsoft Advertising Community Manager at Microsoft Advertising.

The HD versions of Ico and Shadow of the Colossus will be released for free to PlayStation Plus members in June, Sony has confirmed.
The news comes via a new PlayStation Store sale which is offering the pair for only £10.99. However, a note from Sony states that the titles are "coming to PS Plus in June" - a sensible decision from Sony in order to avoid a backlash next month.
Similarly, Demon's Souls will also appear on PS Plus in June, and is currently on sale for £7.99.
The sale also includes such bargains as Ni No Kuni for only £19.99 (£18 for PS Plus members) and PSOne classic Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver for only £1.99.

Highly-Anticipated 'Call of Duty: Black Ops 2' Hit
Activision's 'Call of Duty: Black Ops 2' hit store shelves today as the holiday season started early for game enthusiasts. Will 'Call of Duty' slow down sales of recently-released 'Halo 4'? Dan Gallagher reports on digits. Photo: Activision.

... I ... the ... it's ... looking at video of Call of Duty the new hot videogame are least expected to be out this holiday season ... is gonna go up against halo for what proved to be an epic battle between two videogame giants ... here to talk about his MarketWatch's Dan Gallagher Dan Eddie Dylan ... gray dirty today ... are right so just how big of a battle is in this holiday season between Call of Duty Halo four ... ah well it's a battle and it's somewhat of an apples to oranges comparison as well because you're IVC to combat shooter is ... in a very popular with hard core gamers ... of the big difference is that he'll always SinglePlatform title you know it's available only on the Xbox because of course ... Micra soft is the owner and publisher of that game and the user to showcase their own console ... Call of Duty is available on the Xbox PlayStation three pre much every consulates out they are ... so big day doubt they will sell more units for sure because there's just a wider platform to build on ... but they're still the question of the fact that you okay now just a week ago ... sort of people went out and bought the low rate of white spend money on a new shooter already ... that said when this nation to bring up what are the expectations for the two teams this holiday season ... what analysts expected IDC be the biggest selling night game on the Xbox three sixty for sure ... on you know it then passes the title actually helps move units of the console people actually ... live AppData console by the costly to play the game but since the Xbox three ... three sixties del Sol all ... on it's very likely that's out there will be as many console selling with the game ... on that sometimes payouts ... on call duty is widely expected to again be the top selling game franchise of the year it's been at least the last four years ... um what's your Activision sold about six point five million units in the first twenty four hours ... I was about four billion dollars worth of revenue ... so will be watching to see me actually talk that this time or the franchise starting to get a little ... I hit its peak ... and where bin Laden the early reviews on call of duty ... I'm very strong as usual it's a it's a very well reviewed title people like it ... on the added benefits this year compared to last year alas you're was going against another very similar combat shooter ... called battlefield three from Electronic Arts ... either shooter that guy he put out this year of war called Medal of Honor Warfighter ... on as as generally portly with critics and so that at that site can really post much but competitive threat from call of duty ... on so that helps them in that way but last year called the Vedic how but he will release ... I just a week before ... given the status of the videogame industry could this be one of the Himalayas real big ... battles that we see in this area ... I just I mean it's possible what's it sapling on to an industry where the kids are fewer and bigger ... on so you don't have as many second and third tier titles sell respectable number of units ... Yum few titles sell all or much ... and a lot of white much much much cheaper titles or even free titles EU ... wide download for free you spend a few bucks on ... so that you know the Mema games that are going to be able to command this kind of revenue ... and this mini unit sales are going to be fewer and far between ... aam but there was so probably be some because are still large based console gamers out there the lights by these titles ... besides these two teams any other wants to pay attention to this holiday season ... I wanted to melt a couple weeks ago someone called Assassin's Creed three it's not a shooter it's more of a Renaissance themed ... ups or fighting type of again ... I've that is done really well with critics I that's been a popular franchise but there's a lot of strong buzz about it that it's going to ... Bobby another big seller in this quarter ... of very mention of all Bonner that hasn't done well with critics ... on and so going forward there's there's a related titles like you speak for me a veteran of the better popular unity it's awesome the main franchises in different genres ... but Call of Duty and the lower among your top shooter franchise he's upright the new rules ... that particular genre style ... will you be watched here for a spanking Dan Gallagher ...

Quebecor, owner of Sun Media, made the statement as it reported a surge in income and profits for 2011.http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Hockey/NHL/2012/03/15/19508811.html
"Quebecor Media now has all the tools it needs to pursue its goals, which are to manage a world-class multipurpose centre and to bring a National Hockey League team to Quebec City," the company said in a statement.
Quebecor CEO Pierre Karl Peladeau has made it clear that he is very interested in buying an NHL team and moving them to Quebec. He has already 25 year 33 million dollar deal for naming rights on a new arena that is planed to be completed by 2015. If that year sounds fimilar to you that is since its the same year the Islanders lease ends with Nassau. At the moment it seems like its going be a two horse race between Brooklyn and Quebec for the Islanders, but there is a chance that a dark horse may come in and win this race. If not though then make your choice Brooklyn or Quebec. I know who I am rooting for in this race.

Sasha's INTO IT: Biographe ID Bracelets
WHY: If there was ever a time I wanted you to pay attention to my favorite things, this would be that time because I couldn't be more INTO these Biographe ID bracelets!
Not only do they make for a cool style statement, but the important social statement is what makes them so special. The Blind Project is an excellent non-profit that empowers and provides opportunities to women who have been exploited in the commercial sex trade in South East Asia.
I've been in direct contact with Anthony Dodero, the co-founder of The Blind Project, and this is what he had to say about the meaning behind the design:
"The open space in this bracelet symbolizes a break in a cycle - the brothel to brothel cycle many women go through. New jobs for these women provide an opportunity for a new identity. The clear I.D. plate signifies this blank slate, where she can re-write her story."
So by buying one of these bracelets we can play a part in putting an end to buying women. Spread the word!

I tested the recipe last night and gave the little Mounds to several different people and they were a big hit! They are a perfect little disc size that will quench your sweet tooth. I think it would be hard to overeat them because they are so fatty and rich. Unlike cookies where you end up eating a handful straight from the oven, these little chocolate dreams are stored in the freezer to keep the coconut oil from melting, and somehow one is enough! I'm a pretty good judge about things like this because I rarely eat only one of something I love.
Preparing them takes only about 10 minutes, but there is some waiting/freezing time involved. From the time you begin, you will have a finished product in one hour. They are so good. Thanks to The Nourishing Gourmet for the recipe!
"Mounds" Frozen Candy Bars
1 1/3 C. unsweetened coconut flakes
1/2 C. coconut oil (unrefined, virgin is best)
1/4 C. honey
1 tsp. almond extract
1/2 C. sliced almonds
- Melt coconut oil and honey over low heat until just melted. Whisk to combine. Add almond extract and coconut flakes.
- Take a 12-compartment muffin tin and evenly distribute the almonds in each. Then evenly distribute the coconut mixture over each of those. Place in freezer on flat surface for 30 minutes.
- Next, you will prepare the chocolate:
1/4 C. honey
1 C. coconut oil
1 Tblsp vanilla extract
- Combine these ingredients in a 2-cup measuring glass and place in a pot of simmering water. Heat and whisk until everything is just melted. Remove from heat and continue to whisk until smooth.
- Take out the tin of frozen coconut and evenly distribute the chocolate mixture over it.
- Put back into your freezer and freeze until hard, about 30 minutes.
- To get them out after freezing, simply pop them out with a knife. Keep them frozen as they melt otherwise.
- Enjoy!

Detroit Tigers third baseman Miguel Cabrera and manager Jim Leyland were both ejected in the top of the first inning of Monday night's 5-1 loss against the Chicago White Sox.
Cabrera, Leyland ejected in 5-1 loss in Chicago
Miguel Cabrera didn't have much of a chance to help Max Scherzer get his 20th win and the Detroit Tigers end their recent slump.
Just three batters into the first inning, Cabrera was ejected by home plate umpire Brian Gorman and Detroit went on to lose 5-1 to the Chicago White Sox on Monday night.
The reigning AL MVP and 2012 Triple Crown winner complained to Gorman that he had checked his swing on an 0-1 Sale pitch that struck him in the right knee.
"I tried to get out of the way and (Gorman) said I swung, I was too far out," Cabrera said. "I asked him how could he explain that. I don't know, I just tried to get out of the way. I told him that a couple of times."
Gorman countered, "(Cabrera) was told to stop arguing and continued to argue and he was ejected for continuing the argument."
Manager Jim Leyland ran out to defend his player and he was booted too.
"I guess I made my point a little too long and (Gorman) decided to run me and that's fine," Leyland said. "I wasn't questioning the calls at all. I just thought (Cabrera) was an unnecessary ejection."
Chris Sale (11-12) outpitched Scherzer, denying him a 20th victory. Sale gave up one run and four hits in eight innings to win for the fifth time in six decisions.
"We ran into a buzzsaw with Sale," Leyland said. "He was absolutely terrific."
Sale was heartened by Cabrera's ejection, but it didn't make his job any easier, either.
"I was kind of like 'thank you,' the best hitter to ever walk the planet leaving after the first," Sale said. "(But) it doesn't get any easier after that. You've still got to make pitches because they've got a heck of a lineup up and down."
Scherzer (19-3) gave up five runs and six hits in four innings as he lost consecutive starts for the first time this season after Boston beat him Sept. 3. It was Detroit's fifth loss in six games, dropping the Tigers' lead in the AL Central to 4 1-2 games over Cleveland.
"I just made too many mistakes, elevated the ball, it was too high, I wasn't able to get it down and it cost me," Scherzer said.
As for failing for the second straight time to get his 20th win, Scherzer shrugged.
"I'm not going to beat myself up over this outing," he said. "I've been pitching too well this year to do that. I'm just focused on what I can control and I just need to go out there and pitch the way I'm capable of."
Monday's game was the second meeting of the season between the All-Star pitchers. The first was on July 22, when Scherzer pitched eight innings and allowed two runs to beat Sale, who also went eight but was victimized by two unearned runs.
This matchup was different for Detroit, which has scored only 14 runs in September apart from its 16 on Friday against Kansas City.
Sale's strikeout of Austin Jackson to end the third gave him 200 on the season in 190 2-3 innings pitched. It made him the fastest pitcher in White Sox history to 200 strikeouts in a season, passing Javier Vazquez in 2007 (207).
After the ejections during the top of the first, Chicago gave Sale a lead in the bottom of the inning.
The White Sox took a 2-0 advantage with two outs when Paul Konerko singled to centre, driving in Alejandro De Aza and Gordon Beckham. Beckham walked with no outs and advanced to second on Adam Dunn's fly ball to centre, which also got De Aza to third.
Chicago scored three times with two outs in the fourth. Dayan Viciedo's RBI single gave the White Sox a 3-0 lead, then Scherzer's throw to first on Josh Phegley's soft roller between third and home was well away from Prince Fielder, bringing in Viciedo and Jordan Danks.
Danks was in the lineup in place of former Tigers outfielder Avisail Garcia, who had two teeth pulled Monday and was held out.
Victor Martinez broke up Sale's shutout bid with one out in the seventh with his 12th home run of the season.
NOTES: White Sox general manager Rick Hahn called their season "gut-wrenching" and said they have "a number of areas we need to upgrade." … Leyland sounded happy with the results of the July 30 three-team trade that sent Garcia to Chicago, Jake Peavy to Boston and Jose Iglesias to Detroit. Garcia entered Monday hitting .320 in 27 games for Chicago, Iglesias has replaced suspended Jhonny Peralta in the Tigers lineup and was batting .297, and Peavy was 3-1 with a 3.55 ERA, giving all three teams production from their new players. "That's what you want in trades because then you can deal with those people again," Leyland said. … White Sox DH Adam Dunn refuted a recent report that he was considering retirement. While he did say that the White Sox playing the way they have is a "letdown" he also said "I don't know where that comes into that I'm retiring." … White Sox pitching coach Don Cooper (diverticulitis) was back with the team after missing two games. …Tuesday's pitching matchup is Rick Porcello (11-8, 4.76) against Chicago's Erik Johnson (0-1, 4.50).

vermaden's: links resources deviantart spreadbsd
Personally, I would choose the Antec case just because it looks nice ...
UNIX was not designed to stop you from doing stupid things, because that would also stop you from doing clever things.
'compliant grommets to mount the hard drives' =
This is what it says about this case:
However, a review of this case says 'its a beautiful case, but its a little bit small for default mainboards. Thats why its a hassle with all the cables inside'.
Should I take a different case? From this page, which one should I take?
(I don't care about 'beautiful' or stuff like that, it has to be functional and next as cheap as possible provided it is quality).
( As said, I am very thankful for all your help of you all, make no mistake about that. Its just here I am again, Saturday, 6000 tabs open and trying to find different hardware ).
So I was looking at the WD RE3 that Carpetsmoker recommended, but in the above drive tests you mention the RE's aren't really 'the fastest' ones. So this would be a tradeoff between speed and reliability (reliability being most important of course to me, but then again, reliability at the cost of an utterly slow HDD is also not ideal.
These WD Black editions, are these the so-called 'standard consumer disks' that Carpetsmoker talked about, which are 'less'?
Which LG drive do you have?
I originally picked the Seasonic S12II 430W. Seasonic based on the recommendations in this thread, and the 430W was initial but I planned to change that to the 500W again based on your feedback.
1. On reading this on the Seasonic website: http://www.seasonic.com/new/twevent20081002.htm
2. I asked the vendor if the S12II-500 they offered was a genuine retail S12II-500 or an OEM.
3. Next you know, this morning, both the S12II-500 and the S12II-430 are no longer on the website (). Well, I guess, that's my answer to my question
4. Now 3 is not a problem per se, however, the remaining PSU's of Seasonic are quite expensive: http://www.pcmegastore.nl/catalog/de...&filter_id=393
5. When I asked them to create an offer, they already recommend a different brand to me (OCZ), because they said 'cheaper and better'.
6. On checking that brand out I learned that Seasonic actually is an OEM for OCZ sometimes, but then again, I've also learned that Seasonic makes to the specifications of OCZ, meaning Seasonic inside doesn't necessarily mean the same quality as original retail Seasonic itself.
So, here I am: the 'real' retail Seasonics remaining on the website suddenly are quite expensive, so I am thinking of moving away from Seasonic. That leaves me, again, with a search for another PSU. Of course, 80plus-certified, but then a good quality and not so expensive as Seasonic.
EDIT: A Corsair, one of these, would that be ok?
Or a 550W here:
Picking hardware is depressing
(How I long for the old days: can I have that 386SX16, yes, make it a monsterous machine, put in 4 MB of ram instead of 1 ).
Last edited by Broodjegehaktmetmayo; 31st January 2009 at 12:49 PM.
Also 430W Seasonic PSU will do here without any problem, I have recently created (for gaming - for my family), a box with Intel e2160 CPU + ASUS 965G motherboard + 2GB RAM + GeForce 9600GSO + HDD + DVDRW and Mode Com Feel III 350W does the job without any problems there (works for about half a year now).
OCZ PSU are also not bad.

vermaden's: links resources deviantart spreadbsd
That doesn't do bad (it does very well, it seems), and the black should be the same. I'm trying to find a review of a WD black 500GB now.
About the PSU: yes, Vermaden, my first choice was Seasonic but as I wrote above, its now getting too expensive. What about the Corsair I posted?
The hours fly by
I'm looking and looking and looking, but I can't seem to find any reviews on the WD 500GB, either RE3 or Black edition.
My question now is, which one should I take
I was thinking, instead of taking a separate Antec case and Corsair PSU, I could perhaps also take this Antec with an integrated PSU:
The PSU is 80plus (Antec EA-500, http://www.futurelooks.com/antec-son...case-review/3/), so that would be ok.
Would this one be better than the separate PSU and the Antec case I've selected previously:
(The pricedifference is the Antec case with integrated PSU is 10 EUR cheaper, so that's not relevant. It would be merely a matter of which one is to be considered the best quality, both from a technical/reliability perspective and from a 'future expansion' perspective).
It's down to two things now: the case, and the HDDs.
Again, thank you for your help
Lots of new posts!
On the grommet comment: in the old days, hard drives were mounted with screws directly into the case. The issue is that hard drives vibrate, and the small drive vibration is coupled through the mounting to the rest of the case. The large flat sides are wonderful resonators. Consequently, the amount of noise the computer makes goes way up.
This bothers me a lot. I like silent computers. Not everyone cares about this, but if you do, you should look to minimize case vibrations induced by the hard drives. One way to do that is to screw the drive to the case (or drive sled) through a flexible grommet. That lessens the amount of vibration that reaches the case. A more extreme, and very effective method, is to suspend the drive with elastic bands. The Solo models derived from the P150 do this, and it works very well. (They also have the soft grommet mounting method too.) The Antec you cited doesn't have suspension, but does have soft mounting.
I've used both the 520W Corsair (made by Seasonic) and the 500W Antec (I don't recall who made this one for Antec). I really like the Corsair. Solid, quiet, detachable cables, and very stable. The 500W performs well enough, but makes an odd noise (coil whine) that is irritating. I probably could have had it replaced, as this is a common power supply defect. I didn't, because the noise did not bother my customer (my wife). They have the reputation for being decent supplies for the price. This one also has fixed cables that you have to put somewhere, so it is less convenient to work with.
So I think either would be fine, but I personally would go for the Corsair. It should add that it has been about a year since I've looked in detail at power supplies, and like disks, the model line-up and the OEM changes. Personally I'd avoid CWT (Channelwell) as an OEM -- not that there is anything wrong with them, I just prefer the Seasonic-derived units overall.
The Solo case you cite is derived from the first case designed expressly for quiet operation. It is fine, and you can often find them on sale for a good price. It has side-mounted drives: if you have the case open, the drives on their sleds pull out towards you, instead of to the back of the case or out the front. That's a nice feature (I have a similar layout on three computers in different cases), but honestly I don't pull drives that often. The rest is OK, and if you like the looks of it, you can build a quiet computer using it. I've just preferred the P150-derived series; I think it looks better, does not have a front door covering the CDs, and it has the drive suspension system.
Antec does often give very good prices on their combined case/power supply packages, so you may well save quite some money going this route.
My observation about SATA drives recently has been that Seagate does not perform quite as well as its competition, but has had longer warranties and some people claim that their error checking is better. Most of my drives are still SCSIs, so I don't follow the SATA drive market that closely. But do trust techreport -- they are very good. So is Vermaden.
Oh, and the PATA DVD-RW I bought seven years ago is still working fine, as is the one I bought 5 years ago. Both have been used heavily, and show no signs of failing.
Rather than despairing over all of the hardware choices, you should rejoice! There are a lot of fine options available to craft a system exactly as you want. This does take some work, but the upside is that you will get a system that is fast, reliable, quiet and will last a long time. You should also be able to overclock you CPUs with the heat sink you are using to get performance that will be comparable to a prebuilt unit at about the same price. What's not to like?
What's not to like? I am extremely charmed by FreeBSD (extremely ), and it's sort of frustrating that it costs me so much time (really, way to much) to buy what I consider to be commodities: 'it's only hardware' (I know, this is insulting to the fine hardware engineers that do their utmost best to design quality stuff, and I don't mean to insult them. Yet again, I think I do want to insult the 'marketeers' that make it so complex to choose a piece of hardware, with their 1 zillion different models ). I'd rather have I could quickly buy a PC (as in the old days, where the questions were simple: you want an Intel386SX16 or a 'real' (copro) 386, the Intel386DX33, or even 'a monster', the AMD386DX40, and you want 20MB or 40MB, and 1 MB ram or 4 MB ram, and black and white or color VGA?), and then move on to fun stuff: FreeBSD. Now, it seems picking hardware is more difficult than learning FreeBSD
Btw: don't expect me to, after I have this PC, to post a zillion 'noob' - questions on FBSD: I've bought 2 excellent books around 1 year ago, and I plan to memorize them from begin to end, from left to right, from top to bottom, and then backwards
If only I can get this hardware stuff to be out of the way, and then, let the [s]games[/s] fun begin
Last on my list now: the HDDs. Hopefully somebody can tell me which WD would be the wise choice.
Thanks again DrJ
It is not the perfect case -- none is -- but overall it has worked out remarkably well for me.
Could I ask what you have against the one I originally picked (well, actually, have been told is 'good enough' by the shop), this one:
Because the one you are suggesting is considerably more expensive.

Two left now: the HDDs, and the case

So I guess it will be the WD RE3
I am sort of camping behind my PC
The problem was, I couldn't find a decent test of the WD RE3 500GB. Is seems I've found one now. Just for academical safety: I don't really have a clue if the tests used here (and, moreover, the testsoftware) are the right tests, but I am figuring 'since all the HDDs have been tested using the same tests, it should say something about the relative position of the disks towards eachother' (margin of error here: in case the tests are complete crap and each and every one of them doesn't measure anything usefull at all).
Main points in this test:
So, unless any of you tells me 'too bad, son, but that test is rubbish' () I'll take the RE3. Performance is ok, and I'll gladly pay a little bit extra for increased reliability.
Btw, this is my current HDD, Seagate 7200.7, measured with HDTunePro 3.50:
Remaining, thus: the case.
Back to the PSU (pfff)
However, this is an old thread. How do you determine who is the OEM for a particular type
Moreover, it seems that these are two different PSUs (from different product lines), and I really am too much of a hardware noob to interpret what their differences imply. I've found two 'reviews', but its all abracadabra to me:
Corsair VX550 http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php...=Story&reid=62
Corsair HX520 http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php...=Story&reid=18
And, in addition, posts like this:

What should I do?

I will do that tonight, then. Thanks for the advice, appreciated.
One small question about the RAM
I will need to buy each and everyone of you a beer for having to put up with all my questions
The thing about RAM is this: in the past, I was advised to take Corsair because of the reliability/quality. So this was originally planned:
When receiving offers the shop told me I shouldn't take Corsair but Kingston, as 'Kingston has much better compatibility with your mainboard (Asus P5Q-E) than Corsair'. So they recommended 'Kingston HyperX DDR2 4096MB PC6400 Matched Pair':
I've already found out their statement is rubbish (the QVL - Qualified Vendors List) for the mobo clearly also lists Corsair, but one question remains: should I worry about the brand? I mean, is Corsair better/worse in your opinion than Kingston?
On the Antec case you would like to buy, I'd ask CS. If he has had success using it, then by all means go for it. I tend to reuse equipment for many years, and having the extra capability of the Solo is worth it to me. For example, I am reusing one to put together a "new" computer from existing parts. It will have a bunch of SCSI drives in it, and they really vibrate like mad. The Solo will really help for that. Such a thing may not be important to you.
Bear in mind that our household and my small company have about a dozen active computers and a bunch of spares and parts. Buying things that are more long lived and flexible is important here. It may be less so for you, and that's fine.
On the power supply, modular cables help to keep things clean by using only the cables you need at the moment. If you add new components, you then add another cable. That's very convenient, but it may not be worth it to you. I also go for the most quiet components I can (SCSI drives excepted), so the noise profile is important to me. It may not be as important for you.
Also, I build these myself, so I can buy things on sale. The Solos I bought for between $50 and $60, the 520W Corsair for $70, and an Antec Designer (the Solo + Antec 500W PS) for $100. I have that flexibility. If you buy from someone else, like CS, you don't really have that option. You gain other things, of course, and for you that may be more attractive.
On the disk issue, computer people tend to make a big deal about small performance differences. I'd bet you could not tell the difference in performance between any of the SATA drives you are considering if they are of comparable vintage and rotational speed. The differences really come when you compare those drives with SCSI, SAS or the 10K RPM SATA drives like the Raptor family. Within a particular drive class, I'd look for longevity/reliability, warranty, and noise. The differences in power consumption are not that big a deal for a desktop, and the performance differences usually are not large.
Last, I think you are over-thinking your decision. One benefit with purchasing from a systems integrator like CS (you are still doing that, right?) is that they have a lot of experience. A lot more than vermaden or I likely have, since they have had the chance to work with a greater range of hardware. You are in part paying for their advice. Use it! I've known CS through the boards for many years now, and I believe him to be honest and with very good knowledge about computers. If he recommends this component or that, and it fits with your overall goals, I'd listen to him.

Even though he is 92, Howard Hensleigh of Menlo Park, Calif., remembers 1944 like it was yesterday. That was the year the Army World War II veteran killed a German soldier during a gunbattle in southern France.
"The sergeant that I'd chosen to fire the first shot fired, and of course they (the German soldiers) hit the dirt. And there's firing going back and forth all the time," Hensleigh said.
Hensleigh, who was an intelligence officer and assistant platoon leader, says he knew the German soldiers were not going to give up without a fight. He says he gave them several chances to give up. But a man he later came to find out was named Georg Reick give him no other choice. Hensleigh shot and killed him during a firefight. Hensleigh said he felt it was something he had to do in order to save his men.
"When you take prisoners you get all the information off of all of them," Hensleigh said. "I hate to admit it but they don't end up with their watches rings and anything else."

In this case, Reick was stripped of personal artifacts, such as pictures of his wife and family and his wedding photo: It was common to confiscate the goods from the dead Germans at the time. Hensleigh took them, and put his enemy's belongings in his personal scrap book.
They stayed there for 68 years until a young French writer named Jean Loup came along. Loup was interested in interviewing WWII veterans who served their country in southern France for a documentary he was working on. While researching online, Loup found Hensleigh. Loup flew to the San Francisco Peninsula to meet Hensleigh, and during their meeting, learned of his story and started to connect the dots.
Loup then contacted the company that developed pictures. But the company was no longer there.

He then sent them to the mayor of the small German town where the soldier lived.
The mayor recognized the dead soldier and put Hensleigh in touch with the soldier's grandson whose name is also Georg Reick.
The grandson and Hensleigh now email each other back and forth. Hensleigh gave Reick's grandson information he's been longing for and Reick has pictures he thought he would never get.

The article failed to mention a single "personal attack", simply because the objections to him were not personal. His own words drew criticism, along with his beliefs. So now when we object to someone based upon their beliefs this is now personal?
The utopian "progressive wet dream" about an inclusive greens economy is simply a bed time fable to the masses of automotons who sacrifice in their own lives while the elitists use all means necessary to make their own lives comfortable.
Do not be duped by cheap, remedial rhetorical drivel,
"The study's results," Dr. Calzada wrote in the paper's introduction, "demonstrate how such 'green jobs' policy clearly hinders Spain's way out of the current economic crisis, even while U.S. politicians insist that rushing into such a scheme will ease their own emergence from the turmoil. … This study marks the very first time a critical analysis of the actual performance and impact has been made."
The following represent some of the study's key findings:
NOTE: According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), Spain's annual emissions of carbon dioxide have increased by nearly 50 percent since the nation began its aggressive push to subsidize and support "green jobs."
The man is a communist. That means his ideals are completely antithetical to the premise of liberty, libertairan thought, and free markets.
Social justice is steeped in Marxism. Where as libertarian ideals demands equal opportunity, social justice seeks equity in outcome. So some politician steels someone elses capital, and decides who sould get it. I would rather have a thief rip me off, that way when the theft is done, the theif is gone and I am done with them. For a self promoting politician, I have to hear their blathering after they rip me off about why they need to have the legal right to steal from me.
I am not suprised that a communist would want social justice. Benjamin Frankin once said, "Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.". Social justic will fall on its face because it is neither just nor honest.
As far as progress is concerned:
A rapidly growing literature promises that a massive program of government mandates, subsidies, and forced technological interventions will reward the nation with an economy brimming with green jobs. Not only will these jobs improve the environment, but they will be high paying, interesting, and provide collective rights. This literature is built on mythologies about economics, forecasting, and technology.
Myth: Everyone understands what a green job is.
Reality: No standard definition of a green job exists.
Myth: Creating green jobs will boost productive employment.
Reality: Green jobs estimates include huge numbers of clerical, bureaucratic, and administrative positions that do not produce goods and services for consumption.
Myth: Green jobs forecasts are reliable.
Reality: The green jobs studies made estimates using poor economic models based on dubious assumptions.
Myth: Green jobs promote employment growth.
Reality: By promoting more jobs instead of more productivity, the green jobs described in the literature encourage low-paying jobs in less desirable conditions. Economic growth cannot be ordered by Congress or by the United Nations. Government interference - such as restricting successful technologies in favor of speculative technologies favored by special interests - will generate stagnation.
Myth: The world economy can be remade by reducing trade and relying on local production and reduced consumption without dramatically decreasing our standard of living.
Reality: History shows that nations cannot produce everything their citizens need or desire. People and firms have talents that allow specialization that make goods and services ever more efficient and lower-cost, thereby enriching society.
Myth: Government mandates are a substitute for free markets.
Reality: Companies react more swiftly and efficiently to the demands of their customers and markets, than to cumbersome government mandates.
Myth: Imposing technological progress by regulation is desirable.
Reality: Some technologies preferred by the green jobs studies are not capable of efficiently reaching the scale necessary to meet today's demands and could be counterproductive to environmental quality.
In this Article, we survey the green jobs literature, analyze its assumptions, and show how the special interest groups promoting the idea of green jobs have embedded dubious assumptions and techniques within their analyses. Before undertaking efforts to restructure and possibly impoverish our society, careful analysis and informed public debate about these assumptions and prescriptions are necessary.

Bro. Thanks for your response to this commie lover's belated effort and providing the links about the green jobs!
So far GB show is concerned I have no personal liking for Glen Beck due his pro war views Obama is making in Afpak with a great cost to the American tax payer while their unemployment stands at double digit!
And he also happens to be an Islamophob to boot
Having said that, what I see is that he provides information like an entertainer that others don't and the info he put out for people on Jones was damaging enough plus what this administration is doing was mind boggling...
What is obvious Obama's place is crawling with Zionist tripe with some black socialists and Papal agents way out of proportion with their respective demographics are making monkey of everybody ....and no one dares to speak about the disaster that has hit America and what else is being brewed by this gathering of witches...the working Americans are either MIA politically or are totally bamboozled by this kumbya Marxist crowd!
The Bushies are too afraid to speak cuz of their past sins of their fathers...
If any who speaks is Cheney who is worried about his investment or his cronies in the MIC!
This Chicago Gang have hijacked guilt ridden, self absorbed simpletons through a high spending campaign with flair of Hollywood rhetoric ...they are tearing down America brick by brick...offering unearned entitlements; a Marxism in reverse on the backs of the shrinking middle class...
Even Glen is afraid to point out the Zionist background of the characters he puts on the blackboard for his show for people to watch out ...
The Marxist campaign is going full bore around the world... watch out guys!
And who is getting killed under this green president? the jobs in US and Muslims abroad
I hope the Americans wake up from the hubris before the place goes to dogs, wouldn't matter what color!

Game of Thrones in the Style of Other Shows
To celebrate last night's season three premiere of Game of Thrones, we're going to take a look at how the show would be different if created in another decade and by different people. Joffrey probably wouldn't find this too funny (and Dany would be too busy looking for her dragons), but Tyrion would probably chuckle a bit.
As a '95 HBO relic
Borrowing the tone from Xena: Warrior Princess and Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, this faux opening splices together clips to create a cheesy, yet epic introduction. Queen's "I Want It All" gives it that certain Stark quality.
As Seinfeld slapstick
Add in a laugh track, Seinfeld's signature scene transition tune and a bit of unintentional comedic moments from Game of Thrones, and you've got a network-ready sitcom.
As a Friends opener
Recast Phoebe, Ross, Rachel, Monica, Chandler and Joey with Dany, Jon Snow, Cersei, Arya, Tyrion, Joffrey (and the rest of the gang) and it's Friends. OK, maybe not exactly, since most of these people hate or don't trust one another, but it would still make for good comedy if the writers altered the scripts just a tad.
As a Simpsons parody
In classic Simpsons style, the show's creators give their take on Homer's stomping grounds with the use of Game of Thrones' unique opening sequence style. From Springfield Gorge to Burns Landing, the lampoon simply reimagines the animated land as a vast territory and ends taking viewers straight to The Couch. Watch out for White Walkers, Marge.

His first expedition was to Everest Base Camp. His dad's friend dropped out at the last minute, so Matt Moniz took his spot. Even though the kid from Colorado hadn't done any mountaineering before, he bagged what he describes as "a little 18,000-footer" on a day hike. "After that," Moniz says, "I was hooked. I'd just had the best time of my life." He was nine. The next year Moniz climbed Kilimanjaro and Russia's Elbrus, then, after turning 10, he summitted 22,841-foot Aconcagua.
From June to August this year, at the ripe old age of 12, Moniz and his climbing partner (and father), Mike, reached the highest point in all 50 United States—from 20,320-foot Denali to Florida's 345-foot Britton Hill—in just 43 days. In the Midwest and South, they traveled by twin engine Cessna and an old Mercedes Sprinter. On Washington's Rainer, they got caught in a storm before the final push to the summit. But the hardest section, what they called "the loop of pain" was Utah's King's Peak, Wyoming's Gannett, and Montana's Granite—all of which required at least a 32-mile loop in and back. By the end, the Moniz men had hit all 50 hills and mountains with the fastest time on record. Matt, of course, is the youngest ever to pull off this feat—and he's become an eloquent advocate for kids getting outdoors. The only thing more impressive, maybe, is his sixth grade paper about what he did on his summer vacation.
—By Ryan Bradley
By Matt and Mike Moniz
Most Beautiful
Matt Moniz: There were some really surprising, beautiful mountains. Guadeloupe Peak in Texas jumps out. It's right on the border. There are like 500 species of plants and trees unique to the mountain. There's one tree that has bright red bark, and it's the only place in the world it grows. Half of the mountain is gradual slope; the other half is 2,000-foot vertical cliff. It's just a complete wall. And it's the only thing there in the middle of plains and desert.
Mike Moniz: Up by the Great Lakes, we were landing in the middle of cornfields. In Wisconsin we had to buzz the runway to get all the cows off. By Louisiana, a lot of the summits were drive-ups.
Matt: In Kansas, we got to one at 2 a.m., climb up in the mud, and at the summit was a little mailbox with an iron sunflower on it. Mount Sunflower, it's called. A lot of states put pride in their highest points, but Mississippi was the only one that wasn't very interesting—just a three-inch concrete pillar in the middle of this circular grass thing. But that didn't last long. Two months later we returned to Mount Woodall for the Highpointers Convention and found an impressive new monument on the summit.
The Luckiest Climb
Mike: Matt has a set of Buddha eyes that have become famous all over the world—he brings this unbelievably good weather window for summit days. Even so, on Rainier, we got caught in a really horrendous storm on the summit push. We couldn't even escape Camp Muir. The next morning we woke up around 4:30 a.m. and the storm had inverted and was raging 1,000 feet below. So we cruised to the summit.
A Side Project
Matt: I wanted to try and find the best root beer and best hot chocolate in the country. The best root beer was at the base of Mount Rainier. I don't even know what it was. I think it might have been microbrewed. The best hot chocolate was in Ruth's Chris in Salt Lake City.
How to Hustle
Matt: Kings Peak was 40 miles, round trip.
Mike: The night before Matt had eaten a steak about the same size as him.
Matt: We did the whole trip in one day. Started at 10 p.m., we hiked through whole night. At 6 a.m., we sat down and slept for about an hour, got back up, and did rest of the trip. By this point we were doing a lot of running,Mike: Matt was kind of peaking right then.Matt: Also, we were chased by swarms of mosquitoes for the last six miles.
Too Young?
Mike: I never really embraced the whole notion of age records. It seems to cascade in the wrong direction. While we hope to someday climb more peaks together, the Himalaya are a whole other game. We're going to wait until Matt has an adult mind for that.
A (Small) Soapbox
Matt: I'm an ambassador for Outdoor Nation, and in the middle of the trip this summer, I took a day off in New York City, for this youth summit in Central Park. It's important to try to encourage kids to go outside and protect public land. In another 30 years, if we had a president who just grew up in the city and played video games all his life, he might not be as focused on protecting our land.

Giants hold off Cubs 4-3
June 2, 2012
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) – Melky Cabrera remained the hottest hitter in the National League, Madison Bumgarner picked up his first win in nearly four weeks and the San Francisco Giants beat the Chicago Cubs 4-3 on Friday night.
Cabrera had two hits to raise his average to .376, tying him with Paul Konerko of the Chicago White Sox for the highest mark in the majors. That comes on the heels of his outstanding May when he tied a San Francisco franchise record with 51 hits.
Ryan Theriot added three hits and scored twice while Buster Posey had two RBIs to give the Giants their fourth win in five games on the current homestand.
Alfonso Soriano hit a three-run home run in the ninth for Chicago, but the Cubs fell short and lost for the 15th time in their last 20 games.
Coming off one of his worst starts of the season, Bumgarner looked strong after overcoming some early struggles. He retired 17 of 20 batters during one stretch and carried a shutout into the ninth before tiring.
Closer Santiago Casilla nearly let it slip away.
Recommended Stories For You
After Bumgarner gave up back-to-back singles to Starlin Castro and Joe Mather to open the inning, Casilla gave up Soriano's home run that cut San Francisco's lead to 4-3.
Casilla retired Reed Johnson on a comebacker but allowed a double to Jeff Baker and an infield single to Darwin Barney. Casilla then left the game after appearing to get hurt while pitching to Barney.
Javier Lopez relieved Casilla and recorded the final two outs for his first save of the season.
Bumgarner (6-4) didn't walk a batter and finished with a season-high 11 strikeouts.
Cabrera continues to be the Giants most significant offseason acquisition.
He singled as part of a two-run first inning, tripled in Theriot in the third and later scored on Posey's single to right that gave the Giants a 4-0 lead. He also grounded into a double play and flew out to deep center in his other at-bats.
That was more than enough support for Bumgarner, who scattered eight hits over eight innings to earn his first win since May 5.
Chicago starter Paul Maholm wasn't as fortunate.
The Cubs' lefty walked leadoff hitter Gregor Blanco in the first then gave up an RBI double to Theriot. Cabrera followed with a single before Posey's sacrifice fly made it 2-0.
Maholm (4-4) was tagged for two more in the third and left after giving up a one-out single to Brett Pill in the sixth. He struck out four and walked two.
Chicago, which was coming off a three-game sweep of San Diego, didn't show much life offensively until Soriano's home run in the ninth.
The Cubs hit into two double plays and had a runner thrown out easily trying to steal second.
Angel Pagan singled in the third inning for San Francisco to extend his home hitting streak to 25 games, the longest in Giants franchise history.
Notes: Bumgarner has now reached double digits in strikeouts six times in his career. … Injured Giants 3B Pablo Sandoval could begin a rehab assignment in the minors as soon as this weekend. Sandoval is expected to play four to five games with Class-A San Jose and will bat mostly from the left side while he continues to recover from surgery on his left hand. … The Cubs claimed RHP Jairo Asencio off waivers, the reliever's third team this season. Asencio went 1-1 with a 5.96 ERA over 25 2-3 innings for Cleveland before getting designated for assignment on Monday. To make room, Chicago designated RHP Michael Bowden for assignment. … RHP Matt Cain (5-2), who pitches for San Francisco on Saturday, has not allowed a run in 15 consecutive innings against the Cubs. He'll oppose RHP Matt Garza (2-3). … Pill's stolen base in the sixth was the first of his career.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Companies Refused to Hire Black Applicants and Retaliated Against Employees and Former Employees for Opposing the Discrimination, Federal Agency Charged
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – A group of real estate brokerage and management companies based in Little Rock and Memphis violated federal law by refusing to hire a class of black applicants because of their race and retaliating against employees and former employees for opposing the discrimination, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit it filed on December 30.
The EEOC's suit, Civil Action No. 4:10-CV-002070-SWW, filed in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas, Western Division, asserted that Crye-Leike, Inc. and Crye-Leike of Arkansas, Inc., doing business as Bankers Asset Management, shunned numerous black applicants for jobs at the companies' Little Rock location based upon their race.
Further, the EEOC said, the companies retaliated against other employees and former employees, such as demoting and forcing one out of her job and suing others, for opposing or testifying about the race discrimination.
Such alleged conduct violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The EEOC filed suit after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement through its conciliation process. The suit seeks monetary relief in the form of back pay, compensatory and punitive damages, instatement or reinstatement, and an injunction against future discrimination and retaliation.
"The EEOC is uniquely situated to address race discrimination in hiring," said EEOC General Counsel P. David Lopez. "Recent cases such as our significant settlement with Scrub, Inc. of Chicago, where we alleged that the company failed to recruit and hire black applicants for entry-level janitorial positions, point to the need for continued vigorous enforcement."
Katharine W. Kores, district director of the EEOC's Memphis District Office, which has jurisdiction over Arkansas, Tennessee, and portions of Mississippi, said, "Combating this type of blatant race discrimination and retaliation is a priority for the EEOC. Employers cannot refuse to hire people based on discriminatory stereotypes or retaliate against employees when they oppose the discrimination."
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its website at www.eeoc.gov.

AFC Wildcard
January 8, 4:30pm EST
The Steelers are limping into the playoffs with an injured but still formidable, veteran team. The Broncos have injury issues of their own but it's playoff time, who wants it more? Who's got what it takes to move on to the next round?
Tim Tebow and the Broncos have lost the last 3 games of the regular season but are still a team to not look over. Anything can happen in the post season and the Steelers have a tough task playing on the road.
Latest injury news:
Roethlisberger practiced fully on Thursday after talking earlier in the week about a setback he suffered in Cleveland with his ankle.
Woodley and Sanders also practiced and will be ready to go.
Harrison missed the last 2 days of practice with a toe injury but no indication that he won't play on Sunday at this point.
Ryan Clark will not suit up due to his sickle cell trait condition. Ryan Mundy will start in his place.
Maurkice Pouncey missed practice on Thursday due to continued problems with his high ankle sprain. If he cannot go, Doug Legursky will start in his place.
