More than half of respondents to this week's RBJ Daily Report Snap Poll think Ronald Reagan is the best U.S. president of the past 50 years. The only other president in double digits was Bill Clinton, who was selected by roughly one-quarter of the poll participants.
Over the past half-century, 10 men—five Democrats and five Republicans—have served in the White House.
With the upcoming Republican and Democratic national conventions, this year's presidential race between incumbent Democrat Barack Obama and presumptive Republican challenger Mitt Romney will come into sharp focus. The Republicans meet next week in Tampa, Fla.; the Democratic convention in Charlotte, N.C., is the week after.
According to a recent Gallup Poll, 26 percent of Americans say they consider themselves Republican, 29 percent Democrat and 42 percent independent. In the Snap Poll, party affiliation was weighted toward the GOP, with Republicans at 39 percent and Democrats at 22 percent.
Among Republicans, Reagan was named by more than three-quarters of respondents. Among Democrats, nearly half chose Clinton.
Nearly 900 readers participated in this week's poll, which was conducted Aug. 20 and 21.

Ronald Reagan: 54%
Bill Clinton: 24%
John F. Kennedy: 9%
Lyndon Johnson: 4%

Democrat: 22%
Republican: 39%
Non-affiliated: 35%
Other: 5%
When Reagan took office, unemployment, inflation and GNP were all in bad shape and the nation's confidence was waning fast. Reagan's unwavering commitment to his long-held principles was instrumental to generating an incredible turnaround. A great lesson for today's situation.
—Jim Ryan
It is extremely difficult to compare one with another due to many variables. However, I do believe Reagan was much more open, amenable and willing to do what was right for the country, no matter whose idea it was, Democrat or Republican.
—J.A. DePaolis, Penfield
Although I was part of the Goldwater campaign, I have to say that, in retrospect, JFK was the most inspiring president since FDR and the later Eisenhower.
—Ken Maher
I go with Clinton for two reasons. First, he got NAFTA through Congress. We are a global community, and free trade is an important component in stable relations between nations. Note, I said "stable," not necessarily friendly. Second, in his second term Mr. Clinton worked with an unfriendly, divided legislative branch to deliver some real results. Today, that ability to negotiate/compromise is fading or gone. It has been upstaged by "line in the sand" politics from both the right and the left.
—Wayne Donner, Rush
It was due to Ronald Reagan that I dropped my Republican affiliation and took up as a registered Conservative. Sure, John F. Kennedy was great and even by today's standards very conservative. Remember he stated, "Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country." Today's Democrats have turned their backs on that statement and now press people to demand that government do things for you. Ronald Reagan believed in smaller government and self-reliance. What made Ronald Reagan so great was he retained his core principles and knew how to compromise when it was necessary-but like John F. Kennedy, never his core principles. As you can tell, I believe that both Reagan and Kennedy were great. Why I believe Ronald Reagan was the best president is because he could honestly relate to the common man and address important issues without considering what the media would think.
—Michael F. Kloppel, chairman, Ontario County Conservative Party
I'm not too crazy about any of them. We don't seem to have a system that identifies and allows truly great people to run for president.
—Rick Corey
President Reagan was at true leader in the sense that he believed in American values and excellence. It therefore resulted in the elevation of individual success that government control stymies. —Todd Black, Black's Hardware
In spite of his poor judgment on the Iran-Contra matter, (Reagan) took the blame for the entire mess (the buck truly stopped at his desk!), stood up to the Soviets ("Mr.Gorbachev, tear down this wall"), brought the country out of a deep recession, and treated the office of the presidency with respect and dignity. He made (at least most of us) to feel proud to be an American!
—Al Kempf
Hands down, Ronald Reagan. He always spoke from the heart with no teleprompter and had a birth certificate!
—Daniel Mossien, architect
Interesting poll, as this is truly a mixed lot. Reagan and, as much as I would never had said at the time, Clinton are 1-2, but after that it gets tough. Carter and Obama are at the bottom. The rest all had their positives and negatives and are probably too close to call.
—Peter Short, J.J. Short Associates Inc.
It is amazing as I look at this list; virtually every one of these presidencies, and/or personalities, were seriously flawed! I never thought that I would vote this way, but an enormous amount of credit has to be given to Lyndon Johnson, who despite the Vietnam debacle made enormous contributions by enacting Medicare and, against all advice and fierce opposition, the Civil Rights Act. In signing the latter he correctly predicted that this would end his party's 32-year reign in Washington and "turn the White House over to the Republicans for the next 50 years." As a Southerner and a Democrat, that took no small amount of courage.
—J.P. Gleason, Gleason Fund Raising Consultants
(Lyndon Johnson) did more than any other president in this period to change the aspirations for many of our citizens with the Voting (Rights) Act and the start of the so-called "Great Society." You may not agree, totally, with the results some 40 years later, but there is no question Johnson and his political skills changed the nation more than any other president in this time frame. Even with the failure of his foreign policy (Vietnam), his domestic successes should not be overlooked.
—J. Biemiller
Ronald Reagan is the best president of the past 50 years. In 1980 I didn't think a former actor named Ronald Reagan was a legitimate presidential candidate and I voted for Jimmy Carter, who I also voted for in 1976. However, I completely misjudged President Reagan. His economic policies created 22 million jobs during his administration, he bankrupted the Soviet Union, and countries behind the Iron Curtain were liberated. Because of the Reagan tax cuts, federal income tax revenue skyrocketed. If it wasn't for Speaker of the House Tip O'Neill and the Democratic House of Representatives, President Reagan would have been even more successful. Tip O'Neill would not agree to reduce the federal bureaucracy and government spending. In fact, President Reagan shut down the federal government at least three times in trying to overcome the big government spender Tip O'Neill. If President Reagan could have gotten enough votes in the House of Representatives to overturn O'Neill's huge government spending appetite, his tenure would have been even more successful.
—John Rynne, president, Rynne, Murphy & Associates Inc.
Reagan always reminded us how exceptional this great country truly is. He made you feel proud and fortunate to be a part of it. He was a shining example from "the greatest generation." No president from the last 50 years can hold a candle to Ronald Reagan.
—George Thomas, Ogden
Today, it seems even the Democrats like to use Ronald Reagan's name to lend authenticity to one of their ideas. He is the gold standard—prosperity at home and respect and accomplishment abroad.
—Bob Worden, Penn Yan
Reagan was the only president on the list that believed in what America stands for (and) truly loved his country. He showed that pride in how he led the nation and governed with belief, confidence, common sense and the highest ethical standards.
—Jim Weisbeck, Bloomfield
President Reagan was at true leader in the sense that he believed in American values and excellence. It therefore resulted in the elevation of individual success that government control stymies.

/LN (Create MSIL Module)
Specifies that an assembly manifest should not be inserted into the output file.
By default, /LN is not in effect (an assembly manifest is inserted into the output file).
When /LN is used, one of the /clr (Common Language Runtime Compilation) options must also be used.
A managed program that does not have an assembly metadata in the manifest is called a module. If you compile with /c (Compile Without Linking) and /LN, specify /NOASSEMBLY (Create a MSIL Module) in the linker phase to create the output file.
You may want to create modules if you want to take a component-based approach to building assemblies. That is, you can author types and compile them into modules. Then, you can generate an assembly from one or more modules. For more information on creating assemblies from modules, see .netmodule Files as Linker Input or Al.exe (Assembly Linker).
The default file extension for a module is .netmodule.
In releases before Visual Studio 2005, a module was created with /clr:noAssembly.
The MSVC linker accepts .netmodule files as input and the output file produced by the linker will be an assembly or .netmodule with no run-time dependence on any of the .netmodules that were input to the linker. For more information, see .netmodule Files as Linker Input.
To set this compiler option in the Visual Studio development environment
- Specify /NOASSEMBLY (Create a MSIL Module) in the linker phase to create the output file.
To set this compiler option programmatically
- This compiler option cannot be changed programmatically.

Angelo Corsaro is CTO at PrismTech. Angelo also leads strategic standardization at the Object Management Group (OMG), where he co-chairs the Data Distribution Service (DDS) Special Interest Group.
The Data Distribution Service for Real-Time Systems: Part 1
The Data Distribution Service for Real-Time Systems: Part 2
This is the first installment of a series covering the Object Management Group (OMG) Data Distribution Service for Real-Time Systems (DDS). In this first installment I focus on what DDS is, why it represents an important technology you should learn about, and how it is being used today. I also make sure that those of you that can't spend too much time away from a keyboard will get started coding their first DDS application.
What Is DDS?
Whether you are an experienced programmer or a newbie, it is highly likely that you have already experienced some form of Publish/Subscribe (Pub/Sub). Pub/Sub is an abstraction for one-to-many communication that provides anonymous, decoupled, and asynchronous communication between a publisher and its subscribers. This is the abstraction behind many of the technologies used today to build and integrate distributed applications, such as social application, e-services, financial trading, etc., while maintaining their composing parts loosely coupled and independently evolvable.
Different implementations of the Pub/Sub abstraction have emerged for supporting the needs of different application domains. The Data Distribution Service for Real-Time Systems (DDS) is an Object Management Group (OMG) standard for Pub/Sub that addresses the needs of mission- and business critical applications, such as, financial trading, air traffic control and management, and complex supervisory and telemetry systems.
That key challenges addressed by DDS are to provide a Pub/Sub technology in which data exchange between producers and consumers are:
- Real-time, meaning that the right information is delivered at the right place at the right time -- all the time. Failing to deliver key information within the required deadlines can lead to life-, mission- or business-threatening situations. For instance in a financial trading 1ms could make the difference between loosing or gaining $1M. Likewise, in a supervisory applications for power-grids failing to meet deadlines under an overload situation could lead to severe blackout such as the one experienced by the northeastern U.S. and Canada in 2003 [1].
- Dependable, thus ensuring availability, reliability, safety and integrity in spite of hardware and software failures. For instance, from the reliable functioning of an Air Traffic Control and Management System depends the life of thousands of people flying over the area it is managing. Thus these systems have to ensure 99.999% of availability and guarantee that regardless of experienced failures critical data is reliably delivered.
- High-Performance, hence able to distribute very high volumes of data with very low latencies. As an example, financial auto-trading applications have to deal with millions of messages per second each of which has to be delivered with minimal latency, in the order of tens of microseconds.
At this point, to the question "What is DDS?" I can safely answer that it is is a Pub/Sub technology for real-time, dependable and high-performance data exchanges. Another way of answering as you will find in the course of this series is that DDS is Pub/Sub on steroids.
DDS vs Other Pub/Sub Technologies
Whenever you hear about a new technology you may say "Cool!" or "So What?!". If you are a "So What?!" kind of person, this sidebar quickly summarize how DDS differs from other publish/subscribe technologies. We'll compare with the Java Message Service (JSM) and Advanced Messaging Queuing Protocol (AMQP).
One way of comparing DDS to JMS and AMQP is to measure what they standardize. JMS standardizes an API while AMQP standardizes a wire-protocol -- DDS standardizes both. Another important characteristic is the architectural style promoted. DDS is fully distributed and does not require the presence of any broker mediating communication between producers and consumers. On the other hand, both JMS and AMQP have a broker-based architecture where one or more brokers mediate the distribution of information from sources to destinations.
If you look at the expressiveness of these different technologies, you will see that DDS provides the ability of associating user defined data types with topics and perform full queries as well as continuos queries on these data types. This exceeds what both JMS or AMQP can provide since filtering is limited to message headers and topics tend to hide the user data type into more or less structured blobs.
Another dimension in which DDS excels when compared to either JMS or AMQP is the support for QoS. DDS allows you to configure just about any non-functional aspect of a distributed pub/sub application while JMS and AMQP provides a subset of QoS with often a subset of possible choices.
Finally, if we look at performance, DDS implementations can deliver very low latencies (in the range of 50-60 usec on a Gbps Ethernet) along with very high throughput (millions update per second) while retaining very low and deterministic jitter.
The OMG DDS Standard
The OMG DDS standards family is today composed, as in Figure 1, by the DDS v1.2 API [2] and the DDS Interoperability Wire Protocol (DDSI v2.1) [3]. The DDS API standard guarantees source code portability across different vendor implementations, while the DDSI Standard ensures on the wire interoperability across DDS implementations from different vendors. The DDS API standard defines several different profiles (see Figure 1) that enhance realtime pub/sub with content filtering, persistence, automatic fail-over, and transparent integration into object-oriented languages.
The DDS standard was formally adopted by the OMG in 2004. In less than six years, it has become the established Pub/Sub technology for distributing high volumes of data, dependably and with predictable low latencies in applications such as, Radar Processors, Flying and Land Drones, Combat Management Systems, Air Traffic Control and Management, High Performance Telemetry, Large Scale Supervisory Systems, and Automated Stocks and Options Trading.
Along with wide commercial adoption, the DDS standard has been recommended and mandated as the technology for real-time data distribution by several key administrations worldwide, such as the U.S. Navy, the DoD Information-Technology Standards Registry (DISR) the UK MoD, the MILVA Vehicles Association, and EUROCONTROL--the European organization for the safety of air navigation.
Now that I've given you an overall idea of what DDS is and where it is being used let's try to see how it works.

hello, (ides of) march | robyn + marian
March 15, 2016 by Sharon | 0 comments
Yeah, that's what today is. Apparently the Romans had this whole system for naming the point they were in the month. Pretty interesting stuff.
Incidentally, this is my first post of 2016. A few things have been going on behind the scenes here at artgyrl, and I've just failed to update my blog here. I've been pushing my Patreon more, uploading more exclusive art there. I finally got going with developing and drawing my comic. Recent updates will be posted exclusively to Patreon first and then here. So consider subscribing if you would like to get a first look at my new content. I won't bore you with all the details here, so click the link for more info. :)
Some sketches of Robyn and Marian, the main characters of my comic. I drew it in a handmade sketchbook, so I'm not sure of the paper, probably about 80lb, colored with Copic and Spectrum Noir markers, outlined with Staedtler Pigment Liners, and highlights with a Uni-ball gel pen.

If you have symptoms that suggest a brain tumor, your doctor will give you a physical exam and ask about your personal and family health history. You may have one or more of the following tests:
- Neurologic exam: Your doctor checks your vision, hearing, alertness, muscle strength, coordination, and reflexes. Your doctor also examines your eyes to look for swelling caused by a tumor pressing on the nerve that connects the eye and the brain.
- MRI: A large machine with a strong magnet linked to a computer is used to make detailed pictures of areas inside your head. Sometimes a special dye (contrast material) is injected into a blood vessel in your arm or hand to help show differences in the tissues of the brain. The pictures can show abnormal areas, such as a tumor.
- CT scan: An x-ray machine linked to a computer takes a series of detailed pictures of your head. You may receive contrast material by injection into a blood vessel in your arm or hand. The contrast material makes abnormal areas easier to see. Your doctor may ask for other tests:
- Angiogram: Dye injected into the bloodstream makes blood vessels in the brain show up on an x-ray. If a tumor is present, the x-ray may show the tumor or blood vessels that are feeding into the tumor.
- Spinal tap: Your doctor may remove a sample of cerebrospinal fluid (the fluid that fills the spaces in and around the brain and spinal cord). This procedure is performed with local anesthesia. The doctor uses a long, thin needle to remove fluid from the lower part of the spinal column. A spinal tap takes about 30 minutes. You must lie flat for several hours afterward to keep from getting a headache. A laboratory checks the fluid for cancer cells or other signs of problems.
- Biopsy: The removal of tissue to look for tumor cells is called a biopsy. A pathologist looks at the cells under a microscope to check for abnormal cells. A biopsy can show cancer, tissue changes that may lead to cancer, and other conditions. A biopsy is the only sure way to diagnose a brain tumor, learn what grade it is, and plan treatment. Surgeons can obtain tissue to look for tumor cells in two ways:
- Biopsy at the same time as treatment: The surgeon takes a tissue sample when you have surgery to remove part or all of the tumor. See the Surgery section.
- Stereotactic biopsy: You may get local or general anesthesia and wear a rigid head frame for this procedure. The surgeon makes a small incision in the scalp and drills a small hole ( a burr hole ) into the skull. CT or MRI is used to guide the needle through the burr hole to the location of the tumor. The surgeon withdraws a sample of tissue with the needle. A needle biopsy may be used when a tumor is deep inside the brain or in a part of the brain that can't be operated on.
However, if the tumor is in the brain stem or certain other areas, the surgeon may not be able to remove tissue from the tumor without harming normal brain tissue. In this case, the doctor uses MRI, CT, or other imaging tests to learn as much as possible about the brain tumor.
A person who needs a biopsy may want to ask the doctor the following questions:
- Why do I need a biopsy? How will the biopsy results affect my treatment plan?
- What kind of biopsy will I have?
- How long will it take? Will I be awake? Will it hurt?
- What are the chances of infection or bleeding after the biopsy? Are there any other risks?
- How soon will I know the results?
- If I do have a brain tumor, who will talk with me about treatment? When?

Once upon a time, Jeremy Piven was a humorously welcome presence in our movies and on our televisions. (Remember when he played TV George on Seinfeld?) Then something happened.
His rapid-fire conversation style and cocksure bravado went from charming to kinda obnoxious. Maybe it was when he got a regular gig on Ellen, or when he stopped playing the best friend all the time, but whatever it was, his shtick started to get a little old. We're reluctant to go see his new movie The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard, because we're worried that partway through we'll hit our capacity for Piven and have to leave the theater. To try and break it down scientifically, we looked back at Piven's body of work to see how much Piven, exactly, is too much Piven.
Just shy of 30, Piven had not quite begun to get on our nerves yet when he played the role of Droz, de facto leader of the upperclassman dormitory known as "The Pit" Although he was arguably the lead actor, appearing in more than 60% of the film, this was in the early days, and he moved back and forth between manic and laid-back with ease.
Piven Levels: SAFE
U.S. & World
Grosse Pointe Blank (1997)
While Piven is only a small part of this John Cusack vehicle about a hitman going to his class reunion (he plays an old classmate), the times when he is on screen are already starting to get wearisome, especially when he's drunk or high, which is always. Luckily, we only get him in small doses. This time.
Piven Levels: SAFE
Cupid (1998-99)
We're still not sure why Rob Thomas tried to bring this show back to the airwaves with a new lead actor in 2008. Maybe he thought that Piven was the problem with the original series, which was cancelled after 15 episodes? Granted, Piven was talking a mile-a-minute in most of his scenes as the possibly delusional God of Love, and came across as an overconfident tool, but he showed a softer side every now and again, and actually made us feel for the character sometimes. So maybe Rob Thomas should just deal with the fact that it's a terrible idea for a TV series and move on.
Piven Levels: MEDIUM
Serendipity (2001)
Yet another "best friend" role, although this time he's pretending to be best friends with an actual close friend. Piven plays this one nice and easy, helping Cusack track down a woman he connected with in New York City before he gets married to someone else.
Piven Levels: SAFE
Old School (2003)
As the nemesis to hard-partying Will Ferrell, Vince Vaughn and Luke Wilson, Piven's Dean Pritchard was a fairly refined, reserved individual. But he was also a huge d-bag, a quality Piven must have delivered pitch-perfectly, since we totally wanted to punch him in the face. Good acting, or a glimpse behind the curtain?
Piven Levels: MEDIUM
Entourage (2004-present)
When the racist, misogynistic, alpha-dog agent Ari Gold first appeared on this show, we loved that he summed up everything that was wrong with Hollywood. And since he was only a supporting character, we could handle small doses of him, then return to following Vincent and company. But after his first Emmy nomination, the writers upped his profile on the show, and he started getting more of his own storylines, going on to win three Emmys in a row. Call it backlash if you have to, but after six seasons, it's getting a little old.
Piven Levels: SAFE to HIGH
Speed the Plow (2008)
Piven made news for doing this David Mamet play when he had to leave the production due to suffering from hydrargaria, a.k.a. mercury poisoning. When it was suggested he got it from eating too much sushi, the press had a field day, and the production actually filed a lawsuit against the actor for lost revenue. William H. Macy took over the role, but Piven is obviously still sensitive about it, recently clashing with Chris Kattan backstage at MTV over a inferred joke. We're sure he's tired of hearing about it, but, frankly, so are we.
Piven (and Mercury) Levels: HIGH
The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard (2008)
Lately, we've been suffering form some Piven poisoning ourselves as the actor has been everywhere promoting his new movie. Not only did he visit the Big Brother house to promote a "car-selling" competition, he even went on World Wrestling Entertainment's Monday Night Raw and took a flying leap at Superstar/movie star John Cena. We can't wait until promotion of the film is over, and he goes on vacation. As to seeing the movie itself... well, our doctor doesn't recommend it.
Piven Levels: TOXIC

The service records of medieval soldiers have been made available in a new online database.
The website contains 250,000 service records of soldiers who fought in the Hundred Years War between 1369 and 1453.
It includes the names of archers who served with Henry V at Agincourt, meaning you could see if any of your relatives helped rout the French in the famous 1415 battle.
The Medieval Soldier Database contains full profiles of individual soldiers, with muster roll evidence allowing researchers to piece together details of soldiers' lives.
Dr Adrian Bell of the University of Reading, who undertook the research project with Professor Anne Curry of the University of Southampton, said: 'The service records survive because the English exchequer had a very modern obsession with wanting to be sure that the government's money was being spent as intended.
'Therefore we have the remarkable survival of indentures for service detailing the forces to be raised, muster rolls showing this service and naming every soldier from duke to archer.
"There are accounts from the captains demonstrating how the money had been spent, and entries showing when the exchequer made the requested payments.'
The database, which shows which campaigns soldiers fought in, and other details including what they were paid, how often they were off work sick, who rode the furthest and who was knighted.
The youngest soldier on the records is Thomas, Lord Despencer, whose career began when he was 12 years old in 1385.
Thomas Gloucestre, who fought at Agincourt, is also included on the database, and his career can be traced over 43 years and includes campaigns in Prussia and Jerusalem.
The records also show that social mobility was possible, as in the case of Robert de Fishlake, who enlisted at the age of 16 in 1378 and progressed from being an archer to a man-at-arms.
The project was funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council.
Use the database free at www.medievalsoldier.org.

Drew Estate Herrera Esteli Norteno Cigars
Herrera Esteli Norteño is Willy Herrera's sequel to his namesake Top 25-ranking cigar in 2013. Don't think that Norteño is just a maduro version of the original, however; an almost-box pressed smoke that exudes layer upon layer of flavor from its Nicaraguan and Honduran tobaccos, it's an all-NEW Herrera blend from Drew Estate. Medium-full, Norteno gushes with silky-rich smoke...this one will get your attention. Buy a box and be sure that you'll smoke each one to the nub with satisfaction.

Covering the Bases: Game 33
FIRST: Thanks in part to one big swing from Fred Lewis, the Blue Jays mnaged to do what they couldn't one day earlier.
They overcame some shaky pitching with a pile of offense.
Ricky Romero didn't have his best stuff (five walks, 5 1/3 innings) and the bullpen struggled behind him. Shawn Camp gave up a homer to Alex Rios, Scott Downs hit Juan Pierre with the bases loaded and Jason Frasor allowed a run.
Have no fear, though, @fdotlew is here. With two on and the Jays down 7-5 in the ninth inning, Lewis drilled a pitch from Bobby Jenks to right for a three-run shot that regained the lead for the Jays.
"A burst of energy came out of nowhere when I saw those guys out there on base," Lewis said. "I was like, 'Man, I've just got to hit this ball somewhere.'"
Boy, did he ever.
Lewis is looking more and more like a great addition, making for a bit of a mess in terms of what to do when Edwin Encarnacion is ready to return from the disabled list. My guess is the Blue Jays continue to take their time with EE while Travis Snider is heating up, Lewis is producing and Jose Bautista is holding steady at third base.
Lewis' heroics aside, one of the better developments on Sunday was some life out of the bats of Aaron Hill and Adam Lind. The bullpen struggled on Saturday, but Hill and Lind combined for an 0-for-8, making a comeback that much harder. On Sunday, Hill snapped an 0-for-18 with a double in the third and then scored when Lind snapped an 0-for-12 with a two-run single.
The Jays can only hope that's a start of a turnaround for their dynamic duo.
SECOND: When Downs hit Pierre with a pitch in the seventh, forcing in a run with the bases loaded, it got me thinking. It sure seems like the Jays have allowed a good chunk of runs to score on walks or hit batters with the bases loaded this year. I mean, Casey Janssen walked in two runs just a day ago.
I hate when I'm right…
The Blue Jays have allowed eight runs to score with the bases loaded on either walks (six) or hit batsmen (two) — the most in baseball. Ouch. On Sunday, Toronto had six bases-loaded plate appearances, and the pitchers allowed five runs on two hits (another two came in on grounders.
Overall, the Blue Jays have allowed 29 runs to score on 11 hits with the six walks and two hit batters with the bases loaded. That's in 34 plate appearances for opposing batters. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but that's not that good.
THIRD: This just in: Rios loves facing the Blue Jays. Who knew? In eight games against Toronto this year, Rios has hit .394 (13-for-33) with three doubles, three homers and five RBIs. On Sunday, he went 4-for-4. Rios wasn't even being booed for extra motivation this time around.
HOME: I'd love to end on a high note, like the fact that the Jays have four wins when trailing after eight innings or that they have 11 comeback victories already. But, I'm going to head back into Debbie Downer territory for a moment…
Ricky Romero leads baseball with 12 wild pitches — more than double the No. 2 man, Tim Wakefield. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, this is not all Romero's doing. In fact, I applaud him from still pounding the lower half of the zone, even though his catchers — two signed for their defensive abilities — have struggled so mightily to block pitches this season.
Catch you from Fenway.
3 Comments
I think the total of wild pitches is much more than 12, nether Buck nor Molina seem to be prepared to get in front of and block those pitches and they're key to the success of almost every pitcher we have.
In addition, I'm not too crazy on how Buck calls a game, I'm sure some of the difficulty Romero and Cecil had their last starts is because of no change in the game plan pitch calling. The pitchers won't wave them off because of the age and respect issue so they throw what they're asked to throw and it's almost identical to each hitter and each game. Molina is much better in this regard, but doesn't block the pitches and his bat is non-existent.
With Buck hitting so well, I think it's time to trade him, we should be able to get something in return, and call up Arencibia.
Arencibia will need time to settle in on offense, but he's now apparently very good at blocking pitches, throwing out base runners and calling a game. One thing is for sure-it sure can't be as bad as what we're seeing from these two.
I have a great idea! Since no one on our team will ever have a higher trading value (Except for Overbay because we all no he sucks) Why don't we just trade our entire team and call up all of triple A? And with the HIGHLY talented prospects we get from our team, we can throw them into the farm system for the future!
Toronto Blue Jays starter Jesse Litsch will begin his comeback from Tommy John Surgery with his first professional appearance since April of 2009 when he starts for Dunedin on Tuesday, May 11.
The start against the Florida State League South Division leading Palm Beach Cardinals is the first step in a slow process that will see Litsch ease his way up the ranks of the Blue Jays organization before returning to the team's starting rotation.
Litsch struggled after two starts in 2009 and was placed on the disabled list with a right forearm strain on April 14. After weeks of attempted rehabilitation, he succumbed to the surgery on June 12, ending his 2009 season.
Litsch has been stationed at the Mattick Training Complex in Dunedin during the majority of his rehab and had pitched a couple of games with Extended Spring Training teams in preparation for his return.
He is scheduled to make two starts for Dunedin, with the second one coming on Sunday, May 16 when the Blue Jays start a four game series with the Bradenton Marauders at 1 p.m.

Two bears spotted in Kennebunk
Several callers report seeing the animals
Two bears were spotted in several areas in Kennebunk's lower village and Sea Road areas in recent days.
Callers reported what appears to be a young bear off of Boothby Road, Blue Heron Lane and on the path at the Franciscan monastery.
On Wednesday, a caller reported seeing a large black bear directly across from Sea Road School. The caller told police that the bear ran off once it spotted his vehicle.
Students at Sea Road School were kept indoors for recess and parents were notified. The school already had an early release scheduled for the day, and students who live near the school were dropped off by buses at their houses.
Officers the bears are a mother and a young cub. The bears are not believed to be dangerous or rabid.
Animal control officers and game wardens have so far been unable to spot the bears, and they do not plan to look for the bear unless they receive more calls that the bear is in an area of concern.

My Recent observation at the Selayang wet market found foreigners occupying a significant space in the vegetables section. Based on interviews with several local Chinese sellers in the area, most of the foreigners were made up of those from Bangladesh and Myanmar. The locals further alleged that these foreigners did not have a business license.
I recently visited the Selayang wet market in Kuala Lumpur after receiving complaints from local traders that foreigners were operating illegally there. They said every time enforcement action was taken against these illegal traders, they would return a few days later. The local traders said they had been facing this problem for the past 10 years.
The main concern of the locals was that these foreigners were selling low-quality vegetables at a lower price. Based on further observation, this problem is not only affecting the Selayang wet market but also other major wet markets around Kuala Lumpur.
Some traders are worried that this problem, coupled with the coming Goods and Services Tax (GST), may result in further losses for them.
It is learned that some of these foreigners started off working for local businessmen at the market. Later on, they began to venture out into business on their own.
My last 2014 post.
The collection of Malaysia daily life pictures taken in color and black and white as my 2014 wrap up post.
Pictures feature on new year countdown, stamp exhibition in KL Convention centre, Christmas decoration, AFF Suzuki Cup final, UMNO 2014 AGM, Taktha 3 Ratu theater taken at Istana Budaya, Penang night street and many more.
2014 indeed a bad year for Malaysia. 3 major aviation incident happened on a same year and many people has died and missing. This year, I've witnessed the pain and suffering for the one who lost their family members and the most I remembered is during the first batch on MH 17 victims bodies came back to Malaysia. I saw an innocent face expression of a boy when the army force carried a coffin of his mother and put it on a grave. He is speechless and wonder why his mother in a coffin and what is happening.
Thought everything is over and all the things happened will become history. My life as a News Photographer makes me realized one thing which is I am with competition with no one, I have no desire to play the game of being better than anyone. I am trying to be better than the person I was yesterday.
Performed during Chinese New Year as well as other traditional, cultural and religious festivals, the lion dance makes up a huge part of the Chinese culture. The Rakyat Post photographer Daniel Chan documents the process involved in the making of the lion's head at Taman Desa Pandan in Selangor. Craftsman Wong Soon Fai, 53, produces two styles of southern lion heads, the Fut San (Buddha Mountain) and Hok San (Crane Mountain), with both originating from the Guangdong province in China. According to Wong, rattan as a material is favoured over the traditional bamboo-made lion heads due to its lightness and pliability as it does not snap like bamboo, putting the lion head operator at the risk of injuries.
Collection pictures of Malaysia daily life taken on October 2014. This time, I featured some pictures taken during Diwali public holiday, MRT site visited, Petronas Twin Towers night view, art in the park exhibition at Lake Garden, Batu Caves and Malaysia UNESCO day.

From today through Wednesday, The Free Press is taking a look at the terrible financial situation in Greene County � what went wrong, how it got so bad, who is responsible and what it will take for the county to recover.
This is Part 1 of a four-part series to recap and understand what went wrong with Greene County�s financial state. Coming Monday: How did it get so bad?
SNOW HILL � Greene County is teetering on financial disaster.
Just three cities and one water and sewer district in North Carolina have had their financial records taken over by the state�s Local Government Commission since it was created in 1931, according to pewstates.org.
It could happen to Greene.
Interim County Manager Richard Hicks said he would give Greene County a 10 on a scale of one to 10, with 10 being the worst financial situation.
Former county manager Don Davenport presented to the Board of Commissioners a budget in June with a 5.4 percent property tax increase.
Following citizen outcry, the board announced in June that the assistant county manager/economic developer�s position would be eliminated as of September to save $81,600. This would be the start of shaving down the $518,000 budget shortfall to avoid a tax increase. But further events began to unfold.
A Dec. 12 letter from Sharon Edmundson, director of the Fiscal Management Section of the State Treasury Office, stated, �Fund balance declined primarily because the county significantly over-estimated its revenues in the 2012 budget.�
Davenport took early retirement in December following the announcement the June 30 reserve fund balance was at 6.32 percent � below the 8 percent minimum to cover a month�s worth of expenses.
With the hiring of Hicks in January came numerous revelations of budgetary mistakes, and the finance officer, Shawna Wooten, resigned in February.
Out of 192 revenue accounts in the 2011-12 budget, 105 were overestimated to the tune of $2.67 million, but the under-budgeted expenditures offset it by $1.2 million, leaving a shortage of $1.6 million.
This year�s budget also included a slew of omissions and revenue overages. With Hicks making cuts and amendments, he said he hopes to get the current $700,000 shortage down below $300,000.
One recent omission was a $693,000 loan payment for the new intermediate school.
But a group of citizens say they knew back in June something was drastically wrong with the budget. A budget workshop � one of two held before the budget was passed � was held in what was termed by the group as �the closet,� a small office conference room.
�Following that meeting,� Arba resident Jody Tyson said, �the parody of answers that were given made a lot of people leave scratching their heads.�
There were more questions than answers.
Carolyn Newcomb of Snow Hill said the budget �numbers did not fit.�
Scuffleton resident Chuck Stokes agreed and added further insight.
�Things we were being told just weren�t adding up,� he said, �and (commissioners) tried to raise property taxes 5 cents and that was a pretty significant jump and they were trying to do it pretty quickly and they were having meetings, not necessarily in an open forum. I�m not going to say they were trying to avoid the public, but they definitely were on the fast track for a property tax increase.�
Snow Hill resident Laura Exum asked questions at numerous board meetings to a silent board and county manager, while referring to the �smoke and mirrors budget.�
Rather than answering citizens� questions, Commissioner James Shackleford directed them to ask Davenport their questions, which brought out heated remarks from the public.
Susan Blizzard of Hookerton began to appeal to the board on behalf of the employees, who hadn�t received a raise in four years.
�If they continue on this path they�re on with the county employees,� she said about the commissioners, �they�re going to break (the employees�) backs and that is going to be a crisis.�
Commissioners said they were surprised by the budgetary revelations and didn�t know the fund balance was in critical shape until the December audit report.
�No, I did not think it would be this bad,� Commissioner Jack Edmondson said, �but then when you�ve got a jail payment of $517,000 and a new school at $693,000 � that�s a million-210 � you�ve got to set aside for those payments every year.�

One of the blogging prompts at Geneabloggers this past week was to review our genealogical accomplishments of the last year, and post our goals for the coming year. I was sorry that I didn't get around to participating last year, so here I go for this year, and only a few days late. Maybe by putting my goals out there, I'll be more motivated to work on them!
I was busy in 2011, to the point where I cleared the decks of nearly all client work. An intensive elementary German class, the online ProGen study group, and being a teaching assistant for Boston University's online Certificate Program in Genealogical Research and their new Genealogical Essentials course filled most of the time that I allotted for work.
It was a good year for taking advantage of continuing education opportunities: I attended the New England Regional Genealogical Conference (NERGC) in April, a week-long course in Writing Narrative Family Histories at Boston University in July, and a three-day workshop about Massachusetts colonial governor Thomas Hutchinson and the time/situation in which he lived.
I managed to carve out time to give some of my own ancestral projects the same thoroughness as I do my client work, and wrote extensive "state of the research" reports for two of my more troublesome families. It was very satisfying work, and I'm looking forward to giving the same treatment to other of my projects this year.
The genealogical high point of the year concerned my continuing research on my grandfather's half-sister, Marisa. In April I found and met with a woman who had known her well; she graciously invited me to her home, spent an entire morning talking to me, and gave me the only known photos of Marisa. My quest for Marisa is a long story for another time; suffice it to say that this is a project in which I am quite invested emotionally.
Looking ahead to 2012… one always begins with a long list of hopes and plans (heck, I begin every day that way). But if I accomplish these three, I'll be doing pretty well:
- It's time for me to try and get published. [Yikes, did I just say that out loud?] I have two projects that I want to re-write for state/regional publications, and which I think have a chance of being accepted. Y'all can hold my feet to the fire on this one!
- I need to resume client work, if for no other reason than the fact that researching for others always makes me stretch my skills. There are time constraints, unfamiliar repositories and records, and the absolute necessity for writing up the research thoroughly yet very clearly and succinctly. I'm forced to move out of my comfort zone, which really means that I end up expanding my comfort zone.
- Client work also pushes me to investigate new tools, and I am then usually slow to really learn all that the tool can offer me. I think I did a good job of choosing new and useful bits of software last year, and this year's goal will be to become more proficient with them. I don't want to spend research time or writing time in figuring out how things work! First up: an inexpensive four-week online class on Scrivener. This will do double-duty: not only will it give me an extended period of guided practice, but I'm also very curious to see how an individual (vs. a company or institution) sets up an online class.
I'll also continue my volunteer work in the Manuscripts Department at the New England Historic Genealogical Society in Boston. Continuing education opportunities are always a goal, and always dependent on schedule and economics.
Lastly, I need to figure out what I'm doing with this blog. It fell by the wayside last year as I became busier than I ever expected to be. It might be that my intention of using the blog to write up my Michutka family history very thoroughly is overly ambitious. Stay tuned!
A blessed New Year to all!

Kate Gosselin didn't sound too happy about estranged husband's Jon's gabby ways with the press on an appearance on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" set to air on Wednesday.
"Certain ones of us speak a lot, [others] of us prefer to keep out mouths shut," Kate said, refusing to reference Jon directly. "I just know that on TV or off TV and I've been very much targeted and torn apart."
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Jon & Kate: After The Break Timeline
The reality mom told Ellen that her kids – not jet-setting or a new job – came first for her, a likely dig at Jon's recent trips to Las Vegas and St. Tropez.
"I'm telling you the root of my heart everything about me. I am a mother first," Kate told Ellen. "I will always be a mother and I would die for my kids if need be. I would never put them in a situation that was dangerous or unsafe for them and like any mother… there is nothing I would do to put them in danger. My focus is them. It's not the paparazzi. My focus is not what trip I can go on or what shows I can do as a result of this thing. This is my job. This is my paycheck and so this is what I do."
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Jon & Kate's Family Photo Album
Asked by Ellen if she's thought about dating again, Kate said, "The thought has crossed my mind."
"I'm not thinking about it [now]," she explained. "At some point, it's going to be scrutinized. Let's not talk about it."
She also explained why she wasn't wearing her wedding ring – and how she'll replace it for her children.

"At some point, I talked to the kids, it came up very naturally and I said 'I'm not going to be wearing this ring very much longer.' They said, 'Oh, why?' I said, 'Because I'm not going to be married to Daddy anymore,' which of course hearing that I don't think was fun for them," she said. "I did say that… I'm looking at a ring that has eight diamonds and mother of pearl. I'm very into symbolism and I found a ring that had eight little diamonds surrounded by mother of pearl, me and the kids. They were very excited about that because it's the symbol of me and the kids together forever."
While Kate said she's trying to ignore the paparazzi, the media attention to her has been so great that Halloween stores have stocked Kate Gosselin wigs this year – which made Kate take a second look at her much-discussed hairstyle.
"Somebody emailed that to me a bit ago saying there was going to be a Kate Gosselin wig and I thought, 'Wow is that really what my hair looks like?'" Kate said.

In a letter to a fellow physicist in 1915, Albert Einstein described how a scientist gets things wrong:
"1. The devil leads him by the nose with a false hypothesis. (For this he deserves our pity.)
"2. His arguments are erroneous and sloppy. (For this he deserves a beating.)"
According to his own rules, Einstein should have been pitied and beaten alike. "Einstein himself certainly committed errors of both types," the astrophysicist Mario Livio writes in his enlightening new book, "Brilliant Blunders."
Much of what we read about science is some version of a success story: Scientists just discovered the oldest human fossil; how did they do it? Success is certainly part of the story, but this version of Whig history blinds us to how people actually do science. Science is a mess. It's shaped by the time and place in which scientists work. Scientists choose to do a certain experiment or interpret an observation for many reasons. "More than 20 percent of Einstein's original papers contain mistakes of some sort," Livio writes. "In several cases, even though he made mistakes along the way, the final result is still correct. This is often the hallmark of great theorists: They are guided by intuition more than by formalism."
For many people, however, being a great scientist means being above error. That's why it is so common to see a magazine cover headline declaring, in screaming type, Einstein was wrong, or its weasel-word variant, was Einstein wrong?
Livio's book is a valuable antidote to this skewed picture. He profiles five great scientists — Einstein, Charles Darwin, Lord Kelvin, Linus Pauling and Fred Hoyle — each of whom made major discoveries and major mistakes. All five put their chips down on the wrong number, even as others prevailed. Thanks to his deep curiosity, Livio turns "Brilliant Blunders" into a thoughtful meditation on the course of science itself.
When Charles Darwin presented his theory of evolution in 1859, he built a foundation for all of modern biology. Crucial to his theory was the fact that animals and plants inherited traits from their ancestors. Natural selection favored some traits over others, giving rise to long-term change. But Darwin didn't know how heredity worked. He devoted a lot of time to developing ideas that, in hindsight, seem daft. "Darwin had been educated according to the then widely held belief that the characteristics of the two parents become physically blended in their offspring," Livio writes, "as in the mixing of paints." By this logic, each ancestor's genetic contribution would be halved in each generation.
This idea wasn't just wrong. It undermined Darwin's own theory of evolution. If our traits are just a result of blended particles, it shouldn't be possible for natural selection to change traits over the generations. But try as he might, Darwin couldn't figure out a better explanation.
Yet right around the time that Darwin published "On the Origin of Species," the Czech monk Gregor Mendel was discovering genetics. Crossing pea plants in his garden, he got a glimpse at how heredity actually does work. Darwin apparently never became aware of Mendel's work, nor did he discover Mendel's results for himself.
Today biologists can track evolution at the molecular level because they know what genes are made of. In the early 1950s, Francis Crick and James Watson worked out the double-helix structure of DNA. They worked quickly, because they knew that the Nobel Prize-winning biochemist Linus Pauling was trying to solve the puzzle as well. Pauling came very close, but stumbled just as Watson and Crick were making their breakthrough. He got stuck on the idea that DNA forms three intertwined spirals, rather than two, and worse, he made an elementary error in the chemistry — his nucleic acid molecule was actually not an acid.
Shortly after Crick and Watson published their discoveries in 1953, Pauling paid them a visit at Cambridge and examined their model of DNA. He acknowledged that they were right and he was wrong, and soon afterward he made the same declaration in public. That kind of graciousness is not universal among Livio's blunderers, though. The great physicist Lord Kelvin held firm, until his death in 1907, to his conviction that the Earth was only millions of years old.
Kelvin believed that life had been designed, and he investigated the age of the Earth in part to rebut Darwin's theory of natural selection. If Darwin's theories were right, then the Earth must be very old, but geologists had no way to precisely measure the planet's age. Kelvin had the brilliant insight that the temperature of rocks might hold the answer.
The Earth, Kelvin rightly reasoned, had started out as a ball of molten rock. It took a straightforward mathematical exercise to calculate how long it had taken for the Earth to cool to its current temperature. And when Kelvin did the math, he concluded that the Earth was fairly young, roughly 100 million years (we now know it to be about 4.567 billion years old). He carried out similar calculations to work out the comparable age of the Sun. If the Sun had indeed formed billions of years ago, Kelvin believed it would have burned out long ago.
Kelvin was wrong for two reasons. As a former student of his pointed out, Kelvin assumed that the Earth's interior was fixed and transports heat at the same rate everywhere. In fact, it roils like boiling water, transporting heat to the surface. The other reason for Kelvin's error was quantum physics. Radioactivity helps keep the Earth warm, and nuclear fusion has allowed the Sun to burn for 4.567 billion years. Kelvin's critics brought both these counterarguments to his attention, but he seems to have viewed them with contemptuous indifference.
Nuclear fusion doesn't just power stars, it also creates new elements like carbon and iron. The British astrophysicist Fred Hoyle made this tremendous discovery in the 1940s and '50s. Unfortunately, Hoyle might be better known for promoting a flawed theory about the origin of the universe: He was convinced that the universe was in a continual state of creation. As evidence for the Big Bang mounted, he became an increasingly embarrassing crank.
Livio chooses Einstein as the fifth member of his blundering quintet. Einstein was puzzled as to why the universe didn't cave in on itself. Empty space, he suggested, contained a mysterious energy pushing outward, resisting the universe's inward collapse. After he published this idea — what came to be known as the cosmological constant — he regretted it. He said it didn't emerge naturally from his equations; he'd tacked it on like a cheap piece of plywood over a hole in a roof.
Einstein eventually denounced the cosmological constant. And that, it turns out, was his big mistake. In the 1990s, physicists discovered dark energy, something very similar to that mythical force.
Livio brings the care of a historian to his nimble narratives, avoiding heroic clichés. He's less adept at explaining why these great scientists made their mistakes, too often trotting out pop psychology to demonstrate why people stubbornly cling to ideas even when they see evidence to the contrary. The psychology of bad science is a fascinating topic, but it requires a broader look at how the entire scientific community operates. Five scientists — no matter how great — cannot shoulder that load.

For a while there, Hollywood was letting us down. Not that the movies it was putting out were bad, necessarily, but it was a stirng of "yep, another comic book movie. OK, fine" banality.
But something changed in the past few weeks. We started getting those wonderful, "holy crap, this is so bananas I have to see it" kind of movies.
First there was the just-released "The Grey," which had us at "Liam Neeson straps broken bottles to his hands like DIY Wolverine claws and punches wolves." Who cares what the rest of the movie is about at that point? We're all-in.
U.S. & World
Now comes the Luc Besson-produced "Lockout," which can only be described in the paint-peelingly awesome elevator pitch: "It's 'Escape From New York' meets 'Die Hard'...in SPACE."
Let that marinate for a bit.
The movie stars Guy Pearce (?!?) doing the acting equivalent of a tribute montage to the early career of Kurt Russell. His grizzled tough guy Snow is part "best there is/loose cannon" (yes, that line is in the film almost verbatim) Snake Plissken and part wise-cracking, devil-may-care Jack Burton. It's the kind of lead character that seemed to die out in the 80s, but is ripe for a comeback.
At worst, this will be a cheese-tastic, so-bad-it's-kind-of-good romp. At best, it'll be the movie Neil Marshall's "Doomsday" so badly wanted to be.
Either way, consider us in.
