(CMT Offstage keeps a 24/7 watch on everything that's happening with country music artists behind the scenes and out of the spotlight.)
Usually when a star has on some super-glamorous stage clothes, I'm jealous. And I wish I had the same clothes. This time, I'm jealous — not really of Shania Twain's clothes but of her body. I wish I had a body that would look that good in a catsuit that tight. I mean, look at her in this glittery, sheer and very skintight neck-to-toe Marc Bouwer catsuit . It's what Twain wore to kick off her string of Las Vegas shows at Caesars Palace this past weekend. Whenever I do any kind of fashion breakdown story, I always try to find out where to get the looks and how much they cost. But this time, honestly, what good would it do? Even if I could afford it, who else could possibly look that good in it? Twain told reporters she's never had a show this exciting before. "I was a bit worried that we were staying in the same place," she said. "Was I going to lose that edge?" I think it's safe to say that as long as she keeps dressing like this, she'll never lose her edge.

TxDOT schedules 2 hearings on proposed Texas 288 improvements
Pearland officials see the widening of Texas 288 as a solution to the long commute experienced by residents who work in the Texas Medical Center.
Adding more lanes is part of the Texas Department of Transportation proposal that will be presented next week at two hearings.
Proposed improvements to Texas 288 from U.S. 59 in Harris County to County Road 60 in Brazoria County would include the construction of toll lanes, interchange improvements at Loop 610 and Beltway 8, the addition of general-purpose lanes between Loop 610 and Beltway 8 and improved access to the Texas Medical Center.
"The ultimate project is estimated to cost $1.38 million," TxDOT spokeswoman Raquelle Lewis said.
The city of Pearland has great interest in improvements to Texas 288, assistant city manager Mike Hodge said.
"We have a lot of commuters. The majority of those people, around 9,000, are employees of the Texas Medical Center. Anything that improves mobility would be beneficial."
Hodge estimates that residents driving from Pearland to the Texas Medical Center spend more than an hour on Texas 288 in the mornings, depending on when they leave, and about an hour in the evening.
With extensive growth taking place in Pearland and northern Brazoria County, congestion only is expected to worsen, he said.
More Information
Public hearings
When: 6-8 p.m. March 5
Where: DeBakey High School Cafeteria, 3100 Shenandoah St. , Houston
When: 6-8 p.m. March 7
Where: Berry Miller Jr. High Cafeteria, 3301 Manvel Road, Pearland
Comment deadline: Comments about the project may be emailed to firstname.lastname@example.com by March 21.
"We don't see it improving until we have more lanes."
Public hearings
TxDOT has scheduled public hearings in Harris and Brazoria counties. Each will feature a presentation on the agency's preliminary engineering and environmental studies for the Texas 288 project.
The Harris County hearing will take place 6-8 p.m. Tuesday, March 5, in the cafeteria at DeBakey High School for Health Professions, 3100 Shenandoah St.
In Brazoria County the hearing is scheduled for 6-8 p.m. Thursday, March 7, in the cafeteria at Berry Miller Junior High School, 3301 Manvel Road in Pearland.
Each session will include an open house 6-7 p.m. when people can review maps and drawings and approach TxDOT representatives with questions.
A formal presentation will begin at 7 p.m., to be followed by a public comment period.
Toll lanes
The toll lanes proposed for this project would be constructed on Texas 288's grassy median between U.S. 59 and County Road 60.
"The ultimate project will have two toll lanes in each direction," Lewis said.
The number of toll lanes is dependent on funding, she said, and TxDOT may pursue an interim project with a reversible two-lane toll road.
Interchange improvements would involve widening the highway's connectors to Loop 610 to two lanes. Beltway 8 would have direct connector ramps to Texas 288 in each direction.
TxDOT is proposing general-purpose lanes for this project as well, where no tolls will be charged. This area of the project calls for one general-purpose lane in each direction from Loop 610 to Beltway 8.
Lewis said TxDOT is hoping to obtain environmental clearance for the proposed improvements this summer. "The goal is to begin construction in 2014, depending on the availability of funding," she said.
"TxDOT would like to proceed with, at a minimum, the initial phase of the improvements, which would include two reversible toll lanes from U.S. 59 to Texas 6, in fiscal year 2014."
If the project moves forward as hoped the new toll lanes could be operational by 2017, Lewis said.
Project history
TxDOT has been exploring improvements to 288 for nearly a decade, Brazoria County engineer Gerald Roberts said.
In 2004, the agency conducted a major investment study, an early step in the planning process, on highway improvements from U.S. 59 to County Road 60 and started preliminary engineering and environmental studies.
TxDOT developed a schematic for the construction of two toll lanes and held public hearings on its proposed project.
Also around that time, the Brazoria County Toll Road Authority was established.
After the passage of state legislation in 2007, the Brazoria County Toll Road Authority and the Harris County Toll Road Authority were given the authority to construct their own toll roads, rather than leaving the project in the hands of TxDOT.
"If we wanted to build the road, we could," Roberts said.
Both Brazoria and Harris counties conducted preliminary traffic projections for Texas 288 toll lanes, Roberts said.
Harris County decided not to pursue the project further.
"Brazoria County wanted to do the project, but we needed Harris County," Roberts said. "The project sat for a while after that."
Brazoria County
In 2011 Brazoria County lobbied state lawmakers for the authority to pursue a public private partnership or P3 that would allow it to pursue the Texas 288 improvement project with TxDOT.
It received the authority to create a P3 through the passage of Senate Bill 1420, Roberts said.
In 2012, Brazoria County and TxDOT began to discuss the Texas 288 improvements.
Since then, TxDOT went on to establish a partnership with Harris County for the Texas 288 project.
Brazoria County, at this point, is preparing to make a decision on what its role in this project will be, Roberts said.
"We're not sure we want to give up primacy," he said. "We may want to pursue this through the Brazoria County Toll Road Authority."
Last spring, the county commissioned a Level 2 Traffic and Revenue Report to guide county commissioners' decision in this area. The report is expected to be finalized in mid-March, Roberts said.
"We expect to discuss with TxDOT in March what kind of partnership we can form. Our commissioners didn't want to make a decision until we know what revenues would look like."
The report explores scenarios for both two toll lanes and four toll lanes.
Regardless of the commissioners' final decision on primacy for the toll lanes, Brazoria County is eager to see the Texas 288 improvements move forward, Roberts said.
"Highway 288 is a very important corridor for Brazoria County," he said. "It's our major thoroughfare into the county."
Harris County
Texas 288 is congested in Harris County as well. TxDOT estimates that the highway carries more than 180,000 vehicles a day in southern Harris County.
After its two March hearings, Lewis said, TxDOT will address the public's comments in a response report. That report and a request for project approval will be submitted to the Federal Highway Administration.
TxDOT has said it will post a summary report of its two March public hearings at www.txdot.gov/inside-txdot/projects/studies/houston/sh288.html this summer.
Direct connector
TxDOT hosted a Jan. 24 public hearing on another proposed Texas 288 improvement. Community members were asked to provide input on a reversible tolled direct connector from Texas 288 to the Texas Medical Center.
Six locations for the proposed 1.33-mile connector are being considered. The connector could run from Texas 288 to Alice Street, Old Spanish Trail, Holcombe Boulevard, Ardmore Street, the Texas 288 frontage roads south of South MacGregor Way or to Hermann Drive.
The deadline to comment on the project was extended from Feb. 8 to Feb. 22. As of Friday afternoon, Lewis said the agency had received 125 comments so far.
The information will be reviewed, assembled and sent to the FHA for its review and approval. She said it might be April or May before a summary report is posted on the TxDOT website for community review and comment.

To set it up (new and easy method from v1.07 onwards):
- Create a new script with the code above, call it something like DNSBL.
- Create a new filter in Tools->Filters to run the above script (before your junk mail filter in the filter window).
- Download runmin.exe and update the path to it in "Setup Script" in Tools->Scripts (it's the first field).
- For Win 95, 98, ME: Download nslook.exe from ->this page<- and update the path to it in "Setup Script" in Tools->Scripts (it's the second field). For Win 2K, XP, NT, leave the second field blank (they come with nslookup.exe and don't require this separate download).

This X-Poco-Spam-DNSBL header lists all the DNSBLs checked along with whether the IP address was found in that DNSBL or not and the score associated with it. You can edit which DNSBLs to check and their spam/ham scores in the section:
- Code: Select all
Embed $dnsbllist "end"
The format is:
"DNSBL address" comma "spam score (IP is found)" comma "ham score (IP is not found)"
If you find the checking too slow then try getting rid of some of the DNSBLs and decreasing the timeout value in "Script Setup". For what it's worth it is scanning all DNSBLs in a few seconds here. I'm not sure what scores are best so they may take some fiddling with.

Professional sf magazines (sometimes stf magazines). Although Harry Warner indicated in All Our Yesterdays that Louis Russell Chauvenet coined the term "prozine" around the same time he coined the term "fanzine," there is some question as to whether this was actually the case. The coining of "fanzine" has been tracked down to the October 1940 issue of Contours, but "prozine" was not coined in the same issue. When and where it was first used in fandom remains a mystery. However, it is safe to say that if, within the microcosm of sf fandom, you use the term for a professional magazine that isn't an sf magazine – Playboy and Time Magazine, e.g. – the fan language purists might very well point their outflang fingerbones of scorn at you.
(In the original Fancyclopedias, the abbreviation "proz" means "prozines" but is occasionally written "pros", which sometimes means "professionals". The usage of "pros" to mean "prozine" is now obsolete, and it always means "professionals".)
Contributors: Dr. Gafia
Tag Cloud: See also the Fancyclopedia 3 tag cloud for Prozine.
|from Fancyclopedia 1 ca. 1944
|Pronounced [proz] Means commercially published fantasy magazines, such as Astounding Stories and Weird Tales. Also sometimes means professional writers of fantasy, tho the definition between one who makes his living as an author, and one who writes only for pin money, has never been satisfactorily made.
Prozines have multiplied from the old days of the Big Three to a peak in 1940. In 1939 the count was 18 different titles, 1116 issues published, and in 1940 it was even higher. In an IPO survey taken near its inception, the flood of new pros was disapproved 18 to 5, so there mustn't have been much weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth when the curve turned downward. (Reasons for the up&down much debated.) Disapproval was mainly because the new magazines, with some exceptions, printed trashier material than the older ones, and fans didn't want to read it or have other people reading it and sneering at stf.
Quite a few long-time fans have at times completely given up reading the pros thru disgust, or preoccupation with fan and other activities. The course of fan history has varied from close to slite connexion with the pros, and the wish has often been expressed that we could get along without the pros as a recruiting medium. This is principally a fanationalistc manifestation, however; the average stefnist eats up good stfantasy, has an exaggerated idea of its literary merit, and will leap to defend it against detractors.

A British firm is aiming to capitalise on travellers' body issues with a security scanner that does not produce an image, yet can identify a wide range of concealed explosives.
Following Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab's failed attempt to blow up a transatlantic airliner over Detroit, body scanners are firmly on the security agenda. Gordon Brown took to the TV studios to suggest they will be installed across the British airport network soon, backed by the biggest operator, BAA.
The current generation, one example of which was on trial at Manchester Airport before the on Christmas day attack, use either millimetre waves or backscatter X-rays to produce images of travellers in the ghostly altogether. Thus, the official line goes, hiding explosives in your pants, out of the reach of a pat-down, isn't possible any more.
This has raised concerns from privacy, civil liberties and child protection groups over who will see the images and how they will be stored. The Manchester Airport trial quickly ran into trouble over consent and the making of indecent images of children, first reported here.
TeraView, based in Cambridge, says it can satisfy both sides of the debate. It claims to be furthest along developing terahertz body scanners, which use light from upper end of the infra-red spectrum, with a wavelength between 0.1 and 1mm.
The firm's scanners don't produce an image but a "fingerprint". Rather than blurry pictures of naked tourists, a TeraView scanner would return absorbance data that could be automatically analysed to approve travellers or alert airport staff to investigate further.
The "fingerprints" identify textiles, skin underneath, metals, and crucially varieties of explosives, including PETN - Mutallab's weapon of choice. Semtex, TNT and RDX all have their own terahertz signature, too.
"We detect with higher sensitivity and lower false alarm rate than with images," said Dr Don Arnone, TeraView's CEO.
"The advantages outweigh the disadvantages and nobody we've spoken to has suggested they need images," he added. The firm has held talks with the Home Office and Department of Transport, and sold testing kit to the US Navy.
This more discreet approach to airport screening requires significant work, however. TeraView, which span out of Toshiba Research Europe in 2001, is seeking funding to incorporate the technology into a unit for airports, which Arnone estimates will take 12 months.
It also has competition pushing the body scanners of the future. Among the gaggle of body scanner firms gaining publicity in the wake of the failed Christmas day attack was Advanced Photonix, another terahertz outfit, based up the road from the target, in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Arnone believes his firm's early start and patents put it in the lead against terahertz rivals.
Even so, the more advanced technologies are backed by some of the giants of public security. Rapiscan, part of OSI Systems, is responsible for X-raying travellers at Manchester Airport. Qinetiq, formerly part of the MoD, is meanwhile pushing a millimetre wave scanner which does not produce an image, but was forced to admit it would not have detected Mutallab's
exploding incendiary pants.
Arnone said he has received several calls since Christmas from authorities seeking confirmation that TeraView could detect PETN.
If terhertz scanners ever make it into airports, public health compaigners may cast more obstacles. A study in Physics Letters A in October suggested that the radiation could damage DNA, despite its non-ionising properties. More work is needed, advocates admit, but set against the very well known risks of ionising X-ray radiation and the fact that travellers are already being irradiated for security purposes, the threat to terahertz scanners from the finding seems minimal.
The advantage of terahertz technology in resolving the privacy debate over body scanners seems in little doubt. What remains unproven are the benefits of body scanners themselves for counter-terrorism*.
As has been explained here and in other enlightened places, the reaction to Mutallab means no self-respecting terrorist will attempt the exploding pants ploy where he knows body scanners are in use. He'll simply try something else, and air travel will still be very safe but not risk-free. ®
*Detection of contraband is the other obvious and much more frequent use of body scanners.

Canadian Cyclist was invited to visit a number of Taiwanese bike companies in the fall of 2011. Here is one of our factory visits - to read the overview to our visit and access all the articles, go to the main page Here
T-One is an example of the newest phase of the bike industry that has come to Taiwan - a OBM and ODM company. Founded in 2007, it was created by parent company Thunder Graphic, which provides decals for many bike companies, including Giant. T-One is a design company that sub-contracts manufacturing. Approximately 30% of the work they do is Original Design Manufacturing, under contract for other companies, with 70% their own branded designs. Among the products the small design team (six) have worked on are bags, racks, bottle cages, cell phone holders, multi tools battery cases (for E-Bikes)and handlebar grips.
The headquarters of the T-One design house
One of the most unique products is their Undercover alarm system . It consists of two parts: a base which is attached to the bike underneath the bottle cage, and a small, handheld remote. When the alarm is activated, if anyone moves the bike too far from the remote (approximately 120 metres), a 100 decibel alarm goes off. Great for being able to leave your bike outside the coffee sho without having to lock it (or even if you do lock it).

Two rabbits take turns traveling trails citing tales of lost tails. Nevertheless, these rabbits, Bob and Nathan, travel mistakenly into a tribe, or, at least, a flock. "Good morning" says TRIBE MEMBER #1 to Bob and Nathan, but he continued, "It, however, is not morning – or is it?"
"It is not," concludes Bob.
"It is not," TRIBE MEMBER #1 concurs.
A trail often leads to a tribe, or, at least, a flock, but that doesn't mean it is worthwhile.

Liberty goes 5-1 to claim second in NCWA national duals
January 19, 2013 | Dalton, Ga.
Defending National Collegiate Wrestling Association National Duals champion Liberty University rallied from behind to upset top-seeded University of Maryland-Baltimore County in the semifinals before falling to second-seeded Lindenwood-St. Charles in a finals rematch, 30-19, Saturday at the Georgia State Trade and Convention Center.
"I'm really proud of the kids," Flames head coach Jesse Castro said. "We weren't really expected to make it to the finals. It was probably the best we've wrestled on the season as a team."
Liberty, seeded fourth, defeated fifth-seeded Lindenwood-Belleville in the quarterfinals, 30-15, the same score the Flames beat Lindenwood-St. Charles by in last year's final.
"They were stronger than last year and because of our lower weights, we weren't as strong," Castro said. "The kids wrestled really well. They were just the better team. Our lower weights don't have the experience. All they can do is give their best and they were just outgunned (in the final)."
The match was even closer than the final score would indicate as the Flames, who trailed 24-0 after the first six bouts (two pins followed by four two-point decisions), narrowed it to 24-19 sparked by consecutive defensive falls from Keyshaun Ward (174 pounds) and Royal Brettrager (184).
"It wasn't a blowout by any means," Castro said. "They were hard-fought matches. We never had the lead in the final and we were too far behind to catch up. We're continually trying to dig ourselves out of a hole."
A 4-0 decision by defending NCWA individual champion Aaron Thompson at 197 pounds and Andrew Wilson's 13-5 major decision at 235 made it a five-point match.
Needing a technical fall to tie the team score and a fall to win it, Josh Travers, a new wrestler for Liberty who took Wilson's spot at heavyweight, was pinned in the first period by the Lions' Matthew Atley, a football player wrestling in his first tournament in five years.
Brettrager, Thompson, and Wilson each finished undefeated for the Flames, who went 5-1 as a team with lopsided wins over East Tennessee State (48-9), Tennessee Temple (58-3), and North Florida (56-0) in Friday's first three rounds.
Liberty freshman Peter Tatanish was 4-1 for the weekend at 141 pounds, with momentum-starting wins in the quarterfinals and semifinals, and 125-pounder Jeremy Beale recorded two wins and stayed off his back in a match against Lindenwood-Belleville. Tatanish, who dropped down from 149 pounds, lost a 3-1 decision to Jacob Janes in the final before Marcus Miller dropped his 157-pound bout by the same count to Derrick Weller and Chase Boontjer was edged by Luke Roth 4-2 at 165.
In their 26-19 semifinal upset of UMBC, the Flames won six straight matches starting with Miller at 157 pounds. It was the second straight weekend that Liberty had knocked off the top seed in a dual tournament, after surprising Roger Williams in the opening round at the last week's Virginia Duals before settling for fifth place.
"This weekend was tougher (competition)," Castro said. "Lindenwood (St. Charles) would have won that tournament last weekend."
Central Florida, which eliminated the Flames last week and overtook them for fourth place in the NCWA rankings, beat UMBC in the third-place bout after losing to Lindenwood-St. Charles 30-15 in the semifinals.

Sure the Falcons beat the Cardinals 23-19 despite Matt Ryan's terrible day (5 INTs, zero touchdowns), but that's only because Arizona's quarterback situation may be the worst in the league. It surely isn't their defense, especially when you see them making incredible plays like this one.
Falcons RB Jason Snelling, after a short pass from Ryan, turns upfield but has the ball punched out by LB Sam Acho. As the football begins to make its way out of bounds, Cards safety Rashad Johnson—using a combination of heads up play and excellent hustle—chases the ball down and somehow manages to throw it back in bounds as he himself is flying out of bounds, and ends up tossing it right to teammate Greg Toler.
Falcons head coach Mike Smith attempted to challenge the play, but because he didn't wait until the booth reviewed the turnover, he was dinged with a 15-yard unsportsmanlike penalty and the play was not reviewed. Chances are that Smith would have lost the challenge anyway, and besides, who would want to see a marvelous play like this overturned because of a toenail on the line?
Nobody, that's who…the Falcons and their fans notwithstanding.

Watering the Tulips
January 30, 2013
"Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; nor His ear heavy, that it cannot hear" –Isaiah 59:1
There is not a person so dire that God cannot save them. Saul (that is, the Apostle Paul) was still"breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord" when God stopped him in his tracks on the road to Damascus (Acts 9:1-8). I'm not sure a man ever hated the people of God more than Paul did in his natural condition. And yet, God opened his heart to the Gospel of Christ and then sent him out to preach it! It was no more difficult for God to save Saul than anybody else.
Every reader of this article knows somebody in an unregenerate state who needs Jesus. Humanly speaking, some of these cases seem impossible to us. From the human standpoint, there are some who simply could never come to Christ. They are too wicked! They are too hardened! But, that's the human viewpoint – not the Scriptural teaching. The truth is, no one person is more separated from God by nature than another. Every one of us is totally depraved when we are born.
All of us were born in the same state – "dead in trespasses and sins" (Ephesians 2:1). The same power that resurrected you from the dead is able to raise up your neighbor. Nobody is deader than somebody else. It's difficult for us sometimes to remember how disinterested we were in the things of God prior to the new birth. Many of us have been saved for decades. However, until the Spirit of God stirred our dead souls, our hearts and minds did not comprehend the things of God (1 Corinthians 2:14).
It certainly is not my intent to make a theology lesson out of this article. But, sometimes it does us good to be reminded that we were just as lost as the person we look at as a hopeless case. Certainly, man left to himself is without "hope and without God in the world" (Ephesians 2:12). However, "the Lord's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save". Just as Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, so the Holy Spirit of God can raise a dead sinner to life in Christ with no problems at all.
Just as the farmer plants seeds and hopes for a harvest, so we should be planting the seed that God has sent us out to plant. Romans 1:16 tells us plainly that the Gospel of Christ "is the power of God to salvation". It is our duty to plant that seed. However, just as the farmer waits on God to raise a seed out of the ground, so we do the same. Paul said, "I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase" (1 Corinthians 3:6). This must be our motivation to tell even the most criminal among us of God's provision for saving sinners.
Child of God, be encouraged. God is still saving sinners. Every time a person comes to faith in Christ, God has worked. Every time a person believes the Gospel, the Holy Spirit has raised them from among the spiritually dead. This is not hard for Him. Our duty is to simply share the message He has sent us out with and rely on Him to empower His Word (1 Thessalonians 1:4-5).

Coder's Site Tracks Trending Twitter GIFs in Real Time
Welcome to Monday's single-serving site of the day.
Like some amalgam of Twitter's stream and BuzzFeed's penchant for animated photos, Web developer Adam Wentz's Gifhell.com is exactly what it sounds like: A ceaseless flow of GIFs — the "graphics interchange format" animated photos on repeat — all spun from the most popular GIFs circulating on Twitter at a given moment.
Wentz created the site rather easily, by tapping into Twitter's public application programming interface and simply searching for links with the .gif file extension on the end, tallying how many times they show up on the service. Wentz's site goes down the list and shows how many times a particular GIF has been tweeted, also showing how long ago a rise in a specific GIF's tweets began to show up on the service.
"This thing exists simply because I like animated gifs and wanted to see more of them," Wentz told me in an email. "I was a little disappointed when I discovered that the bulk of tweeted gifs are Justin Bieber smiling at you but there's still fun stuff to be found in there," he said.
It's a bare-bones site — black text on a stark white background is all that flanks the stream of GIFs — but it's still an interesting peek at what's being tweeted about at a given moment (or at least, what's being tweeted about with a GIF attached to it). Last night, for instance, saw a massive influx of MTV Video Music Award GIFs, replete with a scantily clad Lady Gaga and near-obscene Miley Cyrus imagery on repeat.
A word of warning for the curious: Treat a visit to Gifhell.com like a visit to Reddit; both are streams of raw Internet culture, and often NSFW.
Wentz doesn't believe he's in violation of Twitter's API rules, so take a look at the site here. That is, if the shared server hosting still holds up after the site's sudden spike in popularity.

Top prospect Buxton makes return to Class A
MINNEAPOLIS -- Top prospect Byron Buxton made his return to Class A Advanced Fort Myers on Sunday afternoon after missing nearly two months with an injured left wrist.
Buxton went 0-for-2 with a flyout and a groundout. He also played three innings in center field before coming out of the game, as the Twins plan to take it easy with Buxton in his first few games back.
Buxton, ranked as the No. 1 overall prospect by MLB.com, originally sprained his left wrist while diving for a fly ball in the outfield in mid-March during a Minor League Spring Training game.
He returned to action in early May but reinjured his wrist on a slide on May 8 and was held out of action for nearly two months. But Buxton has been ramping up his activities recently and was cleared by the medical staff to make his long-awaited return on Sunday.
Buxton could make the jump to Double-A New Britain if he performs well at Fort Myers and also remains likely to play in the Arizona Fall League after the season to help make up for the time he missed due to injury.
"He's ready to go," Twins general manager Terry Ryan said. "I envision him going out and taking the post with the Miracle and then we'll see what happens. Hopefully, he's productive and does a nice job and then we can get him to the next level."
Buxton, 20, hit .150 (3-for-20) with a double, a homer and two RBIs in five games with Fort Myers earlier this season before the injury. He hit a combined .334/.424/.520 with 12 homers, 18 triples, 19 doubles, 55 stolen bases, 77 RBIs and 109 runs in 125 games with Class A Cedar Rapids and Fort Myers last season.

Miami Valley Gaming & Racing Completes Purchase of Racing Licenses
New, world-class gaming and racing facility will open in early 2014 with up to 2,500 video lottery terminals
BUFFALO, N.Y. and LOUISVILLE, Ky. (Dec. 21, 2012) – Miami Valley Gaming & Racing, a joint venture of Delaware North Companies Gaming & Entertainment and Churchill Downs Incorporated (CDI), today completed its purchase of the harness racing licenses and certain assets held by Lebanon Trotting Club Inc. and Miami Valley Trotting Inc.
The closing on the purchase and recent state and local approvals pave the way for construction to begin on a new gaming and racing facility located near exit 29 off of Interstate 75 between Cincinnati and Dayton. The new facility is expected to open in the first quarter of 2014.
"We are pleased to be moving forward with this significant economic development project that is expected to add $24 million a year to the local economy and create 1,000 construction jobs and 700 permanent jobs in southwestern Ohio," said William Bissett, President of Delaware North Companies Gaming & Entertainment.
Bill Carstanjen, CDI's President and Chief Operating Officer, added, "We appreciate the hard work of everyone involved, including the Ohio State Racing Commission and the Ohio Lottery Commission, to complete the necessary steps for us to build this new, world-class gaming and racing facility that we expect will be another great entertainment destination in Ohio."
When construction of the new venue is completed, harness racing and simulcast operations will move from the current location at the Warren County Fairgrounds to the new gaming and racing complex on the northeast corner of Union Road and State Route 63 in Turtle Creek Township in Warren County. The joint venture finalized the acquisition of this land with the Ohio Department of Administrative Services on Dec. 20, 2012.
The new facility will include a 5/8-mile harness racing track and a 186,000-square-foot gaming facility, featuring up to 2,500 video lottery terminals (VLTs), on the 120-acre site. The Warren County Board of Commissioners approved the planned use development for the new facility in October. Miami Valley Gaming & Racing will invest approximately $215 million, including the $50 million license fee payable to the Ohio Lottery Commission.
The purchase was contingent upon the approval of the partnership's respective applications to the Ohio Lottery Commission and the Ohio State Racing Commission. The Ohio State Racing Commission approved the joint venture's racing license and application to relocate the raceway on Dec. 13, 2012. The Ohio Lottery Commission conditionally approved Miami Valley Gaming & Racing's application for its video lottery sales agent license on Dec. 19, 2012.
Racing and simulcasting will continue at the Warren County Fairgrounds facility until construction of the new facility is complete.

Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations include: the effect of global economic conditions, including any disruptions in the credit markets; a decrease in consumers' discretionary income; the effect (including possible increases in the cost of doing business) resulting from future war and terrorist activities or political uncertainties; the overall economic environment; the impact of increasing insurance costs; the impact of interest rate fluctuations; the effect of any change in our accounting policies or practices; the financial performance of our racing operations; the impact of gaming competition (including lotteries, online gaming and riverboat, cruise ship and land-based casinos) and other sports and entertainment options in the markets in which we operate; our ability to maintain racing and gaming licenses to conduct our businesses; the impact of live racing day competition with other Florida, Illinois and Louisiana racetracks within those respective markets; the impact of higher purses and other incentives in states that compete with our racetracks; costs associated with our efforts in support of alternative gaming initiatives; costs associated with customer relationship management initiatives; a substantial change in law or regulations affecting pari-mutuel and gaming activities; a substantial change in allocation of live racing days; changes in Kentucky, Florida, Illinois or Louisiana law or regulations that impact revenues or costs of racing operations in those states; the presence of wagering and gaming operations at other states' racetracks and casinos near our operations; our continued ability to effectively compete for the country's horses and trainers necessary to achieve full field horse races; our continued ability to grow our share of the interstate simulcast market and obtain the consents of horsemen's groups to interstate simulcasting; our ability to enter into agreements with other industry constituents for the purchase and sale of racing content for wagering purposes; our ability to execute our acquisition strategy and to complete or successfully operate planned expansion projects; our ability to successfully complete any divestiture transaction; market reaction to our expansion projects; the inability of our totalisator company, United Tote, to maintain its processes accurately or keep its technology current; our accountability for environmental contamination; the ability of our online business to prevent security breaches within its online technologies; the loss of key personnel; the impact of natural and other disasters on our operations and our ability to obtain insurance recoveries in respect of such losses (including losses related to business interruption); our ability to integrate any businesses we acquire into our existing operations, including our ability to maintain revenues at historic levels and achieve anticipated cost savings; the impact of wagering laws, including changes in laws or enforcement of those laws by regulatory agencies; the outcome of pending or threatened litigation; changes in our relationships with horsemen's groups and their memberships; our ability to reach agreement with horsemen's groups on future purse and other agreements (including, without limiting, agreements on sharing of revenues from gaming and advance deposit wagering); the effect of claims of third parties to intellectual property rights; and the volatility of our stock price.

First, we highly recommend using the Forms feature already found on WordPress. Forms can be used for much more than just a way to get in contact with you – use them for polls, surveys, whatever, and keep them within your site. The plug-in we use for Forms is a service called Gravity Forms. It's very versatile, easy-to-use, and can be as simple or as complex as you need to be. (Trust me, we've seen some extremely complex, logic-based forms over the years).
Short example:
If the website's Forms isn't your cup of tea or if you already have an account with Polldaddy, you can now quickly and easily embed a poll or survey that you've created on there.
*Tip: Using a free Polldaddy account? Does your poll url look something like this?
To embed your poll, remove the "s" from polls and then enter the url into the Polldaddy section of Add Media.

Art and Life (Dulwich Picture Gallery)
'Art and life' is currently in its third incarnation after stops in Leeds and Kettle's Yard. When it closes after the Dulwich offering in late September it will have been on the road for nearly a year, an impressive feat for an exhibition that covers only eleven, albeit prolific, years of British art.
Ben Nicholson is the headline act. But this exhibition investigates the period before he became arguably British modernism's MVP. Before Barbara Hepworth Nicholson's first wife was Winifred Roberts. As husband and wife Winifred and Ben travelled to Lugano in Switzerland – via Paris and exposure to European modernist developments – where they spent three consecutive winters in the early 1920s. Here they produced works of vitality and atmospheric gravity. The tissue paper wrapped around Winifred's flowers in Cyclamen and Primula becomes another mountain to match with their dramatic backdrop. The austere use of muted colour by Ben in 1921-c.25 (Cortivallo, Lugano) expertly displays a glimpse of a Swiss winter. They developed as artists together, their relationship reciprocal. Winifred's colour comes out in Ben's First abstract painting, Chelsea, and Ben's quasi-cubist tonal blocks are referenced by Winifred in Castagnola (Red Earth) and King's Road, Chelsea. The relationship clearly of equal importance to each.
In 1926 Christopher 'Kit' Wood became the third member of this cast of British post-war painters. Wood was a colourful figure who came to the Nicholson's home in Cumberland 'like a meteor'. He was the freest of the three, lacking the shackles of an artistic heritage such as Ben Nicholson's, whose father had been highly respected painter, as well as being exposed to European modernist movements early in his practice, before adopting the sometimes staid English traditionalism present in Winifred's work. All three were different, but happily worked alongside one another, each learning new ways of painting. This is beautifully shown in the exhibition by the handing of three views of Northrigg Hill, one by each: Winifred's traditional, Wood's gestural, Ben's austere.
The fourth member of the group came in 1928 when Wood and Ben discovered the work of Alfred Wallis. Wallis became Wood and the Nicholson's Douanier Rousseau. An untrained individual who as a result made paintings as real as real life. Wallis was championed, especially, by Ben in London, where he exhibited him in a 7 and 5 show, and it gave both Ben and Wood encouragement in their pursuit of imbuing their work with life. Examples of this abound in the exhibition, but highlights are Le phare, Porthmeor Beach and Boat on a Stormy Sea.
But nearly as soon as the quartet was formed was it finished. In 1930 Wood died in mysterious circumstances, the Nicholson's marriage was dissolving and Wallis was becoming more and more paranoid as the success earned for him by his London friends began to affect how he was treated in St. Ives. Overall, Art and Life succeeds in showing the development and complementary relationships of this group of British painters that were sadly all too fleeting.
Harry Laughland is an MA student at the Courtauld.
Art and Life is at Dulwich Picture Gallery until the 21st September 2014

According to a number of press releases today, Bank of America have reached 500 000 subscribers to mobile banking within five months. Amongst others, the story wqs picked up by CNN. I am of the opinion if this was the case with any other product launched by the bank, everybody would hail it as a big success. I looking at Bank of America's mobile banking offering, a number of things struck me:
- A link to mobile banking can be found on the Bank of America home page. This is an indication that they view mobile banking as mainstream.
- They have registered a .mobi domain-name (www.bofa.mobi). No sense in doing this, if you don't view it as important.
- They spend a lot of effort to demonstrate the solution, by making use of the media, special blog pages, videos etc. At least they understood that the public would only respond if told about things... and it seems as if they were right.

(For a guide on the hardmode achievement, check here!)
Our strat (normal mode):
We tanked the boss in the center of the room; healers (3) and ranged dps spread out in a circle around the boss, mixing ranged dps and healers to maximize vapors + heals coverage while also spreading out from shadow crashes and the life leech.
Below, you can see our "default" layout, with healers and ranged DPS interspersed roughly in the shape of a triangle. Given the need to flee from shadow crash and cluster into healthy pools o' mana, there was much shuffling during the fight, but for the sake of coverage we had default places the ranged would return to or center on, while all melee and the tank were clustered at the feet of the boss. The triangle isn't a "do not cross" zone, just an outline to show our basic configuration.
- HEALS: You should be able to keep a rejuv and a full stack of lifebloom on the MT, while adding in nourish and swiftmend as needed to help offset Surge of Darkness, raid heals, and the larger hits. You should be ready with a swiftmend during the pull itself, since the other healers may not be in position yet to heal the tank. This is assuming you are using Saronite Vapors to regen your mana.
- GEAR: trade out any mana-regen trinkets (ie +spirit and increased regen while casting, like the MDF) in favor of -mana cost, spellpower, or other trinkets, since the mana regen will not be active during this boss.
*The most important part of this fight that you should know is that you will have NO mana regen.*
Innervate won't work, blessing of wisdom won't work, spirit regen won't work, mp5 won't work, mana pots won't work, replenishment won't work, not even the ticks off of druids' revitalize will work (so far as I have seen for mana, they count as "misses")... your only source of mana will be the green puddles of saronite vapors, laid down when the ranged dps kills the vapor clouds that spawn around the room and float about (they should be killing them as soon as they can, provided they are not hiding in a corner or floating around in the melee). I recommend going with +spellpower foods rather than spirit for this fight.
|Resto druids: lifebloom will still return mana to you on its bloom, half the mana cost of the spell. In our recent work to do Vezax hardmode, I have taken to being in melee and punching the boss for OoC clearcasting procs, and using the procs to cast a free lifebloom. When it blooms, it will give me half the base mana cost of the spell back, even though I spent no mana on it. Using this strategy, you can go through the whole fight without needing to stand in any vapor puddles, using rejuvs and a rare regrowth and swiftmend to help out, but this will require a lot of gear and group coordination. If you are using both vapors and OoC procs, beware getting lifeleech or shadowcrash near the melee or tank.
Going with the above outlined raid layout, any given healer should find an adequate number of pools dropping in the 3/5 of the room closest to them. You should not need to run clear across the room to get in a pool unless you have a seriously unlucky string of vapor spawn locations. You may need to cross to the other side of the boss to find a puddle, but if the ranged dps are paying attention, you shouldn't need to run very far. Healers sharing a triangle point will likely be sharing puddles together.
Stand in the puddles to a stack of 5-6, maybe even 7 if you have the gear and health to take it. The puddles apply a stacking debuff that both deals shadow damage to you and restores your mana at the same time. Pop Barkskin to help mitigate the damage; you should also have shadow protection if available (you can use shadow protection potions if necessasary!). Try to get in every green puddle you can, or you WILL go OoM.
- 6 Stacks: 3,200 Mana for 6,400 Damage
- 7 Stacks: 6,400 Mana for 12,800 Damage
- 8 Stacks: 12,800 Mana for 25,600 Damage
- Note: only 8 total vapor clouds will spawn during the fight (ty Beru for clarifying this!). Make sure your dps does not break too many at once, or the clouds will be wasted and you will run out before the boss is killed. It is still possible to kill the boss even if you run out of vapors at 20% or so, depending on your raids' remaining healer mana and dps levels, but it is something to be aware of.
- Surge of Darkness: many strats recommend kiting during this, but it is not necessary if you have enough pallies and healy priests to bubble through the damage (or a DK tank with appropriate cooldown abilities). We found it rather easy with a holy priest, prot pally, and holy pally to just bubble/shield through it, though I pre-loaded some heals as the surge was cast to help offset the massive damage the General deals. If your raid does choose to kite, be especially aware of your range to the tank, and that interrupters may be out of range to interrupt the searing flames during/right after the kiting.
- Searing Flames: your dps (and some healers as class-applicable) should be interrupting this. It will cast every 11 to 23 seconds (per our shaman's careful watching), so it will take multiple interrupters coordinating their kicks/shocks/etc. If they miss, it will deal an unhappy amount of raid-wide (100 yard range) damage and apply an armor debuff may kill off your tank, nevermind the amount of mana you'd have to expend healing up the raid when mana is so precious a commodity! Your raid should avoid letting any of these cast.
- Shadow Crash: the spell is just like it is with the trash before the boss, except it leaves a puddle of bubbly darkness behind when it lands. RUN the moment this is cast at you (or someone near you), as it will land where you were standing at the moment of its casting, and being in range of it when it lands will knock you flying through the air and hurt you. Do not stand in the black puddle it leaves behind: it reduces healing done by 75%. These puddles are for your magical dps casters (it increases their damage and reduces the mana cost of spells). Note: the BigWigs boss mod has an option for a say speech alert to pop up whenever you get shadow crash on yourself; this will announce to you and all near you to MOVE.
- Mark of the Faceless: a life-leech spell that will hurt anyone around you and use that damage to heal the boss by a significant amount. It is usually cast on ranged players, though it can sometimes catch a wandering melee as they dodge a misplaced saronite puddle. The leech is mitigated by simply not being near other players. If someone has the mark on them, don't go near them. DBM will put a nice mark on their head.

MySQL 5.5 Reference Manual Including MySQL NDB Cluster 7.2 Reference Guide
Achieving the best performance from an NDB Cluster depends on a number of factors including the following:
NDB Cluster software version
Numbers of data nodes and SQL nodes
Operating system
Amount of data to be stored
Size and type of load under which the cluster is to operate
Therefore, obtaining an optimum configuration is likely to be an iterative process, the outcome of which can vary widely with the specifics of each NDB Cluster deployment. Changes in configuration are also likely to be indicated when changes are made in the platform on which the cluster is run, or in applications that use the NDB Cluster's data. For these reasons, it is not possible to offer a single configuration that is ideal for all usage scenarios. However, in this section, we provide a recommended base configuration.
Starting config.ini file.
The following
config.ini file is a
recommended starting point for configuring a cluster running
NDB Cluster 7.2:
# TCP PARAMETERS [tcp default]
ReceiveBufferMemory=2M # Increasing the sizes of these 2 buffers beyond the default values # helps prevent bottlenecks due to slow disk I/O. # MANAGEMENT NODE PARAMETERS [ndb_mgmd default]
path/to/management/server/data/directory# It is possible to use a different data directory for each management # server, but for ease of administration it is preferable to be # consistent. [ndb_mgmd]
management-server-B-nodeid# Using 2 management servers helps guarantee that there is always an # arbitrator in the event of network partitioning, and so is # recommended for high availability. Each management server must be # identified by a HostName. You may for the sake of convenience specify # a NodeId for any management server, although one will be allocated # for it automatically; if you do so, it must be in the range 1-255 # inclusive and must be unique among all IDs specified for cluster # nodes. # DATA NODE PARAMETERS [ndbd default]
NoOfReplicas=2 # Using 2 replicas is recommended to guarantee availability of data; # using only 1 replica does not provide any redundancy, which means # that the failure of a single data node causes the entire cluster to # shut down. We do not recommend using more than 2 replicas, since 2 is # sufficient to provide high availability, and we do not currently test # with greater values for this parameter.
LockPagesInMainMemory=1 # On Linux and Solaris systems, setting this parameter locks data node # processes into memory. Doing so prevents them from swapping to disk, # which can severely degrade cluster performance.
IndexMemory=384M # The values provided for DataMemory and IndexMemory assume 4 GB RAM # per data node. However, for best results, you should first calculate # the memory that would be used based on the data you actually plan to # store (you may find the ndb_size.pl utility helpful in estimating # this), then allow an extra 20% over the calculated values. Naturally, # you should ensure that each data node host has at least as much # physical memory as the sum of these two values. #
ODirect=1 # Enabling this parameter causes NDBCLUSTER to try using O_DIRECT # writes for local checkpoints and redo logs; this can reduce load on # CPUs. We recommend doing so when using NDB Cluster on systems running # Linux kernel 2.6 or later.
RealTimeScheduler=1 # Setting these parameters allows you to take advantage of real-time scheduling # of NDB threads to achieve increased throughput when using ndbd. They # are not needed when using ndbmtd; in particular, you should not set #
RealTimeSchedulerfor ndbmtd data nodes.
RedoBuffer=32M #
CompressedLCP=1 #
CompressedBackup=1 # Enabling CompressedLCP and CompressedBackup causes, respectively, local checkpoint files and backup files to be compressed, which can result in a space savings of up to 50% over noncompressed LCPs and backups. #
MaxNoOfOrderedIndexes=256 [ndbd]
LockMaintThreadsToCPU=0 # On systems with multiple CPUs, these parameters can be used to lock NDBCLUSTER # threads to specific CPUs [ndbd]
LockMaintThreadsToCPU=0 # You must have an [ndbd] section for every data node in the cluster; # each of these sections must include a HostName. Each section may # optionally include a NodeId for convenience, but in most cases, it is # sufficient to allow the cluster to allocate node IDs dynamically. If # you do specify the node ID for a data node, it must be in the range 1 # to 48 inclusive and must be unique among all IDs specified for # cluster nodes. # SQL NODE / API NODE PARAMETERS [mysqld] #
sql-node-A-nodeid[mysqld] [mysqld] # Each API or SQL node that connects to the cluster requires a [mysqld] # or [api] section of its own. Each such section defines a connection # "slot"; you should have at least as many of these sections in the # config.ini file as the total number of API nodes and SQL nodes that # you wish to have connected to the cluster at any given time. There is # no performance or other penalty for having extra slots available in # case you find later that you want or need more API or SQL nodes to # connect to the cluster at the same time. # If no HostName is specified for a given [mysqld] or [api] section, # then any API or SQL node may use that slot to connect to the # cluster. You may wish to use an explicit HostName for one connection slot # to guarantee that an API or SQL node from that host can always # connect to the cluster. If you wish to prevent API or SQL nodes from # connecting from other than a desired host or hosts, then use a # HostName for every [mysqld] or [api] section in the config.ini file. # You can if you wish define a node ID (NodeId parameter) for any API or # SQL node, but this is not necessary; if you do so, it must be in the # range 1 to 255 inclusive and must be unique among all IDs specified # for cluster nodes.
Recommended my.cnf options for SQL nodes.
MySQL Servers acting as NDB Cluster SQL nodes must always be
started with the
--ndb-connectstring options, either on
the command line or in
my.cnf. In
addition, set the following options for all
mysqld processes in the cluster, unless
your setup requires otherwise:

5-year follow-up of surgical dislocation of the hip for the treatment of Femoroacetabular impingement
Suche in Medline nach
|18. Oktober 2011
Questionnaire: Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) leads to hip pain and osteoarthrosis. The gold standard of treatment is the surgical hip dislocation with labrum reattachment performed since 2001. We investigated the 5-year outcome of this procedure and calculated predective factors for poor outcome.
Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 97 hips (75 patients) that underwent surgical dislocation at a mean age of 32±8.3 (range, 15 50) years. The average follow-up was 6.0 0.6 (5.0 7.1) years. Preoperatively, the mean Merle d´Aubign (MDA) score was 15.3±1.4 (8 18) and the mean Tnnis osteoarthosis (OA) score was
The cumulative survivorship at 5 years was 93.8% (95% confidence interval, 89.0 98.6%). At followup, the MDA score was significantly increased to 17.2 1.2 (12-18) (p=0.02) and the Tnnis score did not significantly increase to 0.22 0.46 (0-2). Failure was defined as conversion to a total hip arthroplasty (THA), a MdA score of less than 15, and a progression of OA at follow up.0.29 0.55 (0 - 2) (p=0.56). Failures (15 hips, 15%) included 7 hips (7%) that converted to a THA, 7 hips (7%) with progression of OA, and 1 hip (1%) with a MDA score of less than 15 at followup.
Results and Conclusions: Surgical hip dislocation has the potential to prevent the progression of osteoarthrosis and to decrease hip pain in patients with FAI.

Madonna, Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Aretha Franklin, Annie Lennox, Britney Spears, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey—what is a diva, after all? What are its origins, if locatable, and how has the term evolved and developed musically, temporally, and culturally?
The Divas Reading Group meets weekly to investigate pop divahood as a textual, musical, visual, and cultural phenomenon. The group's 'readings' include critical texts, lyrical content, music videos, live performances, interviews, photographs, magazine/blog articles, social media, and music television specials. Through this blend of scholarship and popular media, the group examines different modes of vocality, textuality, pleasure, identity, sexuality, performance/performativity, (dis)embodiment, divinity, obsession, mesmerism, poetics, and aesthetics.
In spring 2012, participants will contribute writings and/or help edit/curate a journal and potential installation which will explore these many aspects of Diva culture.
Limited spaces; open to students, staff, and faculty. To apply, email email@example.com by Sunday, October 23rd, with your name, department, class year if applicable, and a brief paragraph explaining your interest in the seminar, past relevant experiences, and diva who fascinates you (and why). Full group description and syllabus available at haverford.edu/divas
