Whining. Give it up Wren, the Braves still would not have won the series. They had their shot and they blew it, like so many times before. You had your best pitcher on the mound, in your home park, against a team that tends to struggle on the road. And your team wet the bed, starting with your best player, and the opposition capitalized on every mistake and beat you without even needing their best starter on the mound.Originally Posted by Getting UGGLA
so you agree with this 1 game playoff? take a team that won 94 games over 8 months of baseball and force them to play 1 game against a team that won 6 fewer games? This sounds pretty stupid to me. Baseball playoff series have traditionally been best of 5 or best of 7. If bud wants more teams in the playoffs, why doesn't he just expand it to inculde 6 teams? The NHL and NBA both have 8 teams from each league / conference that make the playoffs and the NFL has 6. Surely the MLB can expand to include 6 teams.
No, but every team knew the stakes and played by the same rules. The Braves had almost everything in their favor and still handed that game to the Cardinals with their own screw-ups, so I don't want to hear/read my GM crying about the format now. His team wasn't tough enough or (ahem) "clutch" enough to get it done. He can either call them out for another piss-poor effort or just keep it himself and focus on building a stronger team in 2013.Originally Posted by thomass
i'm all for trading hanson. if it came down to it, 6.5 for maholm (vet lefty, was really good for us) is better than a gamble on hanson. couldn't we get more for minor though? i like minor as much as the next guy, but he has better upside, imo, and as streaky as he was, i think he's more of a sure bet than hanson. if we can get a good OF (span) or serviceable 3B or 2B with a minor trade, i think i would be able to stomach the dice-rolling of keeping hanson.

Not enough to make an impact. If this is all he does, we're in for a long year and if we get to the playoffs, another failure. We need at least 2, preferably 3 impact players, like Hamilton and Upton or Quentin and Upton.......Losing Chipper and gaining Upton isn't enough. Not even close.
I see your point, I just think Hanson deserves at least the first half of next year to get his mechanics straight and start to realize his potential.
What you don't want to do is give up on a young pitcher too early and trade him for far less than he's worth.
This is a great article on Hanson and his mechanics: http://www.hardballtimes.com/main/ar...-the-velocity/
All of those problems that he pointed out, are the problems Hanson/McDowell will be working on in the winter/ST.
I also doubt that Wren is ready to give up on him as well, so I would highly doubt that we see Hanson traded.
Actually, there are a lot of available center fielders who will be better value propositions than paying a speed player who is entering his 30s and strikes out way too much $16 million per year or more. Look through this thread and you'll see four or five names that have been tossed around as reasonable targets. I'd love to have Bourn back, but all signs point to his demands being off the charts.
I like Hanson more than just about everyone on this board, and I agree with you that more time with his new delivery will help get him back on track. But even with that said, I'm not at all comfortable making him a #2 or #3 starter. Fortunately, he'll be able to line up at the back of the rotation, if he's kept.
When has he ever thrown a temper tantrum? Again, Chipper Jones also had a throwing error in the biggest game of the year, so that tells us...what exactly? And while he was out of the base line and that was a mistake, he wasn't THAT far off. Looked way more like him just running hard than anything else. And for the Braves to be using their limited trade chips to get players at a position where they already have a solid option (as opposed to third base and center field, where they have no one)...that's just not good business.
And I'm pretty sure you're the only one who thinks this. Both Braves' beat writers have already said the Braves won't be going after Hamilton, and your $22 million would eat up just about all of the Braves' available salary space (without solving third base or the bench). It ain't happening.
Yes, there is a reason why they can't fill both OF holes with two of those names: money. Unless you're writing a big donation check to the Braves Payroll Fund, there's only about $25 million to spend. Also, what free agent list are you using? Quentin and Ethier have both signed extensions.
Who do the Braves have in the minors that could be a top-10 second baseman? I get that he's overpaid, but I don't see how you can call him a "giant lack of production" when he was better than the likes of Rickie Weeks and Howie Kendrick and barely worse than guys like Brandon Phillips, Jason Kipnis and Jose Altuve. I mean, he's not Robinson Cano or anything, but there's only one Robinson Cano.
I think it's you who is whining here. There's a great chance given a three-game set that the Braves would have recovered and come back to win. They were the better team on paper, and the more games you play, the more chance that the better team on paper will end up winning. I get that the Braves were outplayed in every facet of the game. I watched just like you did. But that doesn't mean the same would have happened for three games in a row. The likelihood of all that crazy stuff (runner interference, three throwing errors, "infield fly" call) happening in three straight games is unfathomably low.
Just because the Braves "knew the stakes and played by the same rules" doesn't mean they have to like those stakes and rules. In baseball, the nature of the game is even the factors that you CAN have in your favor don't make that big of a difference. Especially not among two teams that were good enough to be in the top five in their league. Wren isn't "crying" about the format; he's stating a pretty common opinion that it's ridiculous to make the outcome of a 162-game season depend on one game. In fact, he probably held that opinion before he ever knew the Braves would lose, and frankly he probably would've held that opinion even if the Braves had won. I bet you could even ask most of the Cardinals brass--whose team was "clutch" enough to get it done--and they would say it's a silly format. There's no connection between Wren's opinion and the fact that the Braves' lost. They didn't lose because of a piss-poor effort or a lack of talent. They lost because one lousy game is random as hell and sometimes the breaks just don't fall your way. Hence the need for more than one game.
If this is what you think, then seriously, give up now. Hamilton is not coming to Atlanta. Carlos Quentin is definitely not coming to Atlanta, after signing an extension in San Diego. The solutions at third base and in left field (plus a few bench players) have to fit into a $25 million budget, so it's not like the Braves are going to be running a lineup of All-Stars out there next year. I am confident they'll make some solid acquisitions, but if you think it's two studs or bust, I can tell you right now they're going to bust.
Chipper Jones had a very good season, but making up for it shouldn't be that difficult. Improvements from the rest of the lineup, plus some solid additions, should be sufficient to replace 3 WAR.
Spoken like a true apologist and company man. "A great chance", you say? Here's a stat for you: The Braves have lost their last seven Game 1s of a postseason round. Seven. Outscored 40-18 in those games. I don't have to tell you how each of those rounds ended for them. The Cardinals, on the other hand, have proven they can handle the pressure of elimination games in recent years, especially in their own building. The Braves simply have not shown much resiliency and toughness in recent postseasons because they cannot get out of their own way, and when things start going badly, they allow it to snowball. If my comments upset you, oh well. Just know it's based on evidence they provided.Originally Posted by rtgthree

We don't need a third baseman. We have Prado, enough said. Our needs are CF, LF, 2B and C. Allthough it looks like we're only going to be addressing CF and LF. I like the idea of Prado at 3B, he's solid. I concede we're ok at SS, and we're good at RF and 1B. Our pitching is already solid and if Greinke wants to come to ATL, I'm cool with that for sure. And Carlos Quentin was on this list: http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2013-mlb-free-agents/ He must've just signed or the list is out of date.

12 million is far too much to exercise on McCann when he is a giant ? and Ross has been nothing short of hero for us. Use that money for a LF.
No, spoken like someone who realizes that random chance has a lot more to do with the outcome of a single game than the fact that the Braves lost a similar game 11 years ago. When I say "a great chance," I mean at least 25%, or a 50-50 chance in each game.
You don't really think that the game 1 loss in the 2001 NLCS has any bearing at all on this year's loss. How many players from that team are still around anywhere in the organization? Is it something the clubhouse guys mix into the Gatorade or what? Five of the seven losses you mention (2005 and before) are completely irrelevant. There are some holdovers from the 2010 team, but that's two games. Randomness is still way more of a factor than some imagined concept of "resiliency and toughness." These are professional athletes. If they couldn't handle pressure, they wouldn't be professional athletes. Clutch performance is a story we fans like to invent because it adds drama and makes things fun to watch, but it's not real.
Your comments don't upset me at all. They're just not based in any kind of evidence.
That was a typo on my part. I meant third base OR left field (depending on where Prado plays) and center field. I'm glad to see you accept that Uggla and McCann aren't going anywhere...all of us wish we could upgrade at those positions from the way those two performed in 2012, but there just isn't much choice given the payroll considerations.
And for the record, Quentin signed an extension on July 22.
I can agree that $12 million is a lot to lay out for a guy that may not even outperform David Ross next year. The problem for the Braves is twofold: there's a huge PR hit from just releasing a fan favorite like Brian McCann, and Ross has never been an everyday catcher. At age 36, there's a huge risk of decline and overexposure. And frankly, I don't think there's that much need for too much extra cash. The Braves can use young pitching trade chips to fill either left or center with a cheap, controllable player, and it's not like signing a big-money contract is something the Braves want to do anyway. Take a guy like Josh Hamilton...even if they could free up money to sign him, his age and health history indicate that he'd quickly turn into another Dan Uggla contract, on a much larger scale.

At the Plano vs McKinney game October 12th, fans are encouraged to wear pink at Clark Stadium as part of National Breast Cancer Awareness month. Players, cheerleaders, band and drill team members will incorporate some pink into their uniforms as well.
The idea to hold a Pink Out game came courtesy of the Planoettes three years ago. Last year the Pink Out raised over $2,000 for the Susan G. Komen Foundation. "It was my vision to start something at Plano to give back to those around us and to support a cause that has touched so many of us -- even one of our Planoette moms," said Meredith Walraven, Planoette director.
According to the American Cancer Society, breast cancer will affect one out of every eight American women in their lifetime.
We ask that everyone wear something pink to the game, and the entire month! so put away your maroon and white and Pack the Place Pink!
We want Clark Stadium pinked out on October 12. Pink Out shirts are available for purchase through the Planoettes and will be sold for just $10. Sales start at the Pep Rally outside the gym Friday, Sept 28 from 8:30 am – 9:30 am and 6:00 pm – 7:15 outside of Clark Stadium prior to game. Shirts can also be purchased in the cafeteria from 11:30 – 1:45 on Tuesday, Oct 2; Wednesday, Oct 3; Thursday, Oct 4; Tuesday, Oct 9; Wednesday, Oct 10; Thursday, Oct 11. They will also be available Friday, Oct 12 6:00 – 7:15 outside of Clark Stadium prior to game
For sales information, go to:
or contact Teresa Michelsen at
or 214-563-1578
The Planoettes drill team of Plano Senior High School is made up of nearly 80 junior and senior girls and the Maroon Guard. The team is led by Director Meredith Walraven and Assitant Directors Lindsay Placke and Jennifer Janak. For more information, visit

Controls the Logitech squeeze box, with basic commands from the system tray. Based upon wxpython
Its designed for Linux, where their seemed to be no nice desktop controller for my squeeze boxes.
It might work on Windows and Mac OSX as its made from python and wxwindows. I cant support Windows and Mac OSX as I dont own these OS systems, but patches to support these OS's will still be welcome as long as they don't break Linux.
Let me know if it simply must have a new feature or that you want to patch it.

Sounds nice.
Would like to get it working in mint 13.
Would you have any instructions on how to make that happen?

Not yet but if you check it out on the command line with:
git clone git://github.com/osynge/squeezetray.git
Change into the right directory:
cd squeezetray
Then run the program:
python squeezetray
It should just work.
Please let me know how it works. Soon (for release 0.0.1) I will make a "setup.py" file and a README so you should be able to install it on any operating system easily.

Thanks, had to install git and wx, but it seems to have installed OK.
In settings, the Player field is blank, at the bottom it says Server Connected.
The play/pause/next etc. controls do not seem to do anything. In the terminal window I see: self.mapping {}
Not recognizing my player it seems?

What name should this little GUI have?
That's wonderful news, thanks for trying. Its still very early stages. Its Changing very rapidly at the moment.
I stupidly named the "squeezetray" without googling first. I now know this application needs a new name, and best done now while the documentation is low.
What name should this little GUI have?
if no one comes up with a better name I will call it "SqueezeWxTray".
This is a bad sign, do you have any squeezeboxes connected to the server?
If you do, it either suggests you downloaded it a few days ago, as I think it
was broken at one point, and an upgrade is needed.
Ok, this is a very good sign, It means you have a Squeeze server installed, and connected the client to it correctly.
They wont as no player is selected.
I have improved this in the new version, and "The play/pause/next etc. " stuff now only appears when the players are found.
If you have more than one "squeezebox" that plays music, you also get a player switcher submenu.
Perfect guess
I have made a lot of code changes over the past few days. Could you please go into
your git checked out directory, and type
$git pull
Writing objects: 100% (10/10), 970 bytes, done.
Total 10 (delta 8), reused 0 (delta 0)
To yourgitserver.example.org/squeezetray.git
4938eec..61b047b master <- master
To get the latest version. I know an older version had some debug statements such as "self.mapping {}". I have removed a
lot of these, and the plan is to put in the standard logging, and and installer / README.
I removed this mapping system, from the "server Id" to "Player Name", during a code clean up.
I changed the code to be more and more Model, View, Controller Pattern.
The model is updated from the server using json http, using a view as a thread pool.
Callbacks on changes to the model to the Controller can then trigger further things.
In this case another View is triggered to display the model as the StatusBar and Tooltip,
which shows details about the current track playing, and server status.
What name should this little GUI have?
Any suggestions
I guess we should open a new thread when some one comes up with a good new name for the application currently known as "squeezetray" and uses wxpython as its GUI.

It seems by default Ubuntu 12.04 and unity tray will hide the wxpython application formally known as "squeezetray".
For a solution go here (its fun):
Or see this web page for an advert filled GUI solution.
Ill let you know when Version 0.0.1 is ready.

SqueezeWxTray-0.0.1.tar.gz (18.5 KB)
Just to announce the first sort of release of the code, and include as an attachment.
Don't worry, you did fine
(Git is a programmers tool)
When the program starts try right clicking to get the context sensitive menu and pull up settings, this will launch a new form. Once this is done, set the server, and port of the squeeze server, Then hit apply, before 10 seconds it should have connected. You then should see a list of players you can control. If this happens hit save, and your settings will be saved when you exit.
I have attached a version that works for me the first release SqueezeWxTray-0.0.1.tar.gz (18.5 KB).
you can now type
$ python setup.py install
To install into your system. It looks like it will be called squeezeWxTray unless some one comes up with a better name soon.

slow io from hdd
I just went from 4.0->4.5 with a completly reinstalled machine. I tossed all old idedrives and inserted 1 new satadrive (the 1.5tb seagate) otherwise its completly the same hardware. I have picked it into pieces and cleaned out all the dust.
The problem is slow transfers and high load. Copying from one drive to another is at best 20mb/s but more common 5-10 and sometimes even dropping to 1mb/s and all this at 40-60% load? Old system was almost constantly 20-40mb/s. Going to test some benchmarkprograms(welcome to recommend one) tomorro, but for now i was hoping for some directions from you experts! dmesg: Quote:
Interrupt routing issues always concern me.. boot into the UKC and disable apm, this will force the system to use acpi instead.
I have a similar system, look in the BIOS for an option to enable APIC instead of PIC, and if you see any options related to "Plug and Play OS, PnP OS", set that to "No/False". Good luck, post the updated dmesg.. we like them. |
Your hardware has both ACPI and APM. OpenBSD selected the latter. Try using ACPI instead.
At the boot> prompt, respond "-c" At the first UKC> prompt, respond "disable apm" At the next UKC> prompt, respond "quit" Inspect the new dmesg, and see if the interrupt routing problem goes away. If it does, then make this change to your kernel permanent with config(8).

All street closures related to the Grand Prix of Baltimore are now in effect.
All traffic on both northbound I-395 and northbound Maryland Route 295 (Russell Street) is diverted onto northbound Martin Luther King, Jr Boulevard.
Pratt Street is closed between Paca and Calvert Streets. The northbound Martin Luther King Boulevard exit to Russell Street is now closed.
Traffic volume is getting heavier through the afternoon rush hour.
Baltimore City transportation officials advise motorist who commute through Baltimore City to avoid the downtown area during rush hours.
WBAL's Jim Russ suggests that city-bound motorists from the south use either I-895 North to the Harbor Tunnel or I-95 North to the Fort McHenry Tunnel, then exit at either O'Donnell Street or Eastern Avenue and then head into downtown from the east.
To get into downtown from the north and west, motorists could use the Jones Falls Expressway (I-83 South) or any of the routes from the beltway used to avoid the emergency JFX work earlier this year.
Motorists heading for downtown from the north should be aware that southbound streets around the race course are closed at Lombard Street.
CLICK HERE to figure out your route around the Grand Prix delays.
Listen for WBAL traffic updates throughout the day.
Statement from Baltimore City Department of Transportation

Brita® Water Filtration Slim Pitcher
Pitcher with a slim design will fit easily in your refrigerator, while providing healthier and better tasting water. Pitcher is certified to reduce chlorine, sediment, 98% of lead and more. Holds 40 ounces. Includes one filter; additional filters sold separately. Hand wash.
Brita® Water Filtration Slim Pitcher
Hate this pitcher
I have been a Brita user for more than 20 years and this pitcher design does not work. The filter keeps floating up and dislodging so that the unfiltered water in the top leaks into the filtered reservoir. I have tried putting less water in to filter, I have tried being patient in letting the water filter through but over 70% of the time when I open the top of the pitcher the filter is not seated in the pitcher like it should be and if I don't check it every time, the unfiltered water just runs through into the bottom of the pitcher
April 5, 2013
After returning 2 Keurig coffee makers for poor performance my son suggested I try filtering the water (I have a well) The amount of silt that was in it was amazing. Now I get a perfect cup of coffee every morning. I will soon be purchasing the large dispenser.Thanks for a great product.
March 19, 2013
I enjoy this product
I've enjoyed using this pitcher. The water tastes great and I'm saving money by not buying bottled water.
February 27, 2013
simple to use
i now have gotten 2 people to use the brita pitcher. I just wish that i could afford the new brita filter in the bottle carry bottle.
February 25, 2013
A small change in your life can make a big difference for you and the environment. One Brita Pitcher can effectively replace as much as 300 containers of bottled water and also reduces chlorine flavor, mercury, and copper from tap water. So you get great tasting water with less waste. Talk about refreshing. |

For some people Valentine's Day is easy. They sow Necco Sweethearts like grass seed, believing each little saying imprinted on each little pastel-tinted heart to be meaningful if not oracular. Then there are the conspiracy theorists who claim to have documented proof that the Truffle Makers' Guild and the equally nefarious Greeting Card Poets' Bund are behind the whole charade.
And then there are the rest of us, swinging between hope and despair.

IU McKinney Law Grad is Finalist for Indiana Supreme Court
The Hon. Steven R. Nation, '75, of Hamilton Superior Court, is one of three finalists for the Indiana Supreme Court. Judge Nation has a diverse legal background, having worked as a civil trial attorney, a prosecutor, and a trial judge.
Also under consideration for the opening on the Indiana Supreme Court are Tippecanoe Superior Judge Loretta Rush, and Taft Stettinius & Hollister partner Geoffrey Slaughter.
This most recent vacancy occurred when Professor Frank Sullivan, Jr., left the Indiana Supreme Court to join the IU McKinney Law faculty. Governor Mitch Daniels will make the final decision. Three other alumni already serve on the court. Justice Mark Massa, 89, was appointed earlier this year. Justice Steven David, 82, was appointed in 2010. Chief Justice Brent E. Dickson, 68, has served on the court since 1986.

Do you need help with finding your Dutch ancestors?
The Yvette behind Yvette's Dutch Genealogy Homepage is Yvette Hoitink, a Dutch amateur genealogist with an interest in emigration research. The information on this website represent her personal views and do not reflect the opinions of her company or employers.
Yvette became interested in genealogy at the age of 14 and has been doing it ever since. Her paternal ancestors come from the eastern part of Gelderland, mainly from Winterswijk, Aalten, Bredevoort and Dinxperlo. Her maternal ancestors come from Noord-Brabant (the area around Breda and Tilburg) and Zeeland (western Zeeuws-Vlaanderen).
In 1993, Yvette started studying computer science and management studies at the University of Twente. Because her faculty provided internet access for students, Yvette became one of the first Dutch people to have her own website: Yvette's Dutch Genealogy Homepage. Because there were hardly any people outside the United States online, the website was focused on Americans with Dutch ancestors. That has remained the focus ever since.
Using the internet, Yvette got in touch with Mary Risseeuw and other descendants of 19th century emigrants from the Netherlands. This sparked her interest and she started researching why those people left the Netherlands and where they ended up.
As a result of this, Yvette attended the sesquicentennial commemoration of the Phoenix disaster in 1997. The Phoenix perished on Lake Michigan in 1847, carrying mainly Dutch emigrants. Yvette researched the backgrounds of these passengers. Researchers in the United States, including Ione Heinen and Mary Risseeuw, researched what became of the survivors.
For the last nine years, Yvette has run a computer company together with her boyfriend. The company, Heritas, is aimed at historical applications of information technology. Because of her work, Yvette has been involved in many websites that are related to genealogy like Genlias, Archivenet, the Dutch National Archives, the Overijssel Historical Centre, etc. Since March 2006, Yvette works as a ICT consultant and project manager for the National Archives in The Hague. Yvette was also involved in creating the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines so people with disabilities can access online information.
Because of her knowledge of historical applications of information technology, Yvette gives lectures and workshop on using the internet for genealogy. In 2002, she wrote a book on this subject together with her friend Jeroen van Luin which was published by the Central Bureau of Genealogy in The Hague. A revised edition was published in 2007.
Yvette's own research focuses on the following areas:

Active Grants
The Center for Community-Based Research and Health Disparities is supported through research grants from the National Cancer Institute, the National Center on Minority Health and Health Disparities, and the National Human Genome Research Institute. This research focuses on three converging lines of investigation that have high policy and clinical importance for understanding and eliminating racial health disparities: (1) enhancing participation of minorities in clinical cancer prevention and control research; (2) developing culturally tailored assessments and interventions to improve outcomes in minority health; and (3) developing sustainable infrastructure for cancer prevention and control through community-based participatory research methods.
- African American Breast Cancer Risk Counseling Program
- African American Participation in Cancer Genetics Research
- Community Outreach
- Health Beliefs and Values
- Research on Cancer Survivorship
- Triumphant Living Collaborative (TLC)
- Cancer and Cardiovascular Disease Risk Education Trial
- Community-based Cancer Navigation Program
- Participant Registry
African American Breast Cancer Risk Counseling Program
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of enhanced versus standard breast cancer risk counseling on obesity reduction behaviors among African American women at increased risk for developing breast cancer. Participants are women who have a family history of breast cancer in a mother, sister, or daughter. Women who participate in this study receive standard breast cancer risk counseling or risk counseling in addition to education and counseling about nutrition and physical activity. This study is an extension of the With Our Voices Program described in the section on previous or closed studies.
African American Participation in Cancer Genetics Research
The purpose of this study is to identify barriers and facilitators to African American participation in cancer genetics research and to translate this information into a psychometrically sound instrument to evaluate these constructs. Experimental research will also be conducted to identify factors that are predictive of participation intentions in a nationally representative sample of African Americans.
Community Outreach
The Center manages two federally funded cores that are designed to disseminate information about health issues that disproportionately affect African Americans in terms of morbidity and mortality. The Community Outreach and Dissemination Core in the Penn Center for Population Health and Health Disparities was established to develop and evaluate mechanisms for disseminating information about prostate cancer prevention and control to at-risk communities and public health practitioners. Similarly, the Community Liaison Core in the Penn Resource Center on Minority Aging Research was established to disseminate information about minority aging research to African American elders and to establish mechanisms for monitoring recruitment into research on minority aging.
Health Beliefs and Values
The purpose of this study is to develop and evaluate a multi-dimensional cultural values assessment instrument for cancer prevention and control behaviors among African Americans, Hispanics, and Caucasians. This mixed methods study involves qualitative research to identify cultural values for cancer prevention and control and a prospective, longitudinal survey to evaluate the psychometric properties of the instrument.
Research on Cancer Survivorship
The Center is conducting research to enhance breast and prostate cancer survivorship among African Americans. The Health Habits and Behaviors Study is an observational study that is evaluating psychological and behavioral reactions to treatment-related side effects among African American women and the Determinants of Ethnic Differences in Quality of Life Study is a community-based longitudinal study that is designed to identify cultural, psychological, and environmental factors that contribute to racial disparities in quality of life among African American and Caucasian men who are diagnosed with prostate cancer.
Triumphant Living Collaborative (TLC)
The purpose of this Collaborative is to provide infrastructure for community-based participatory research that is designed to improve health outcomes among African American residents in West and Southwest Philadelphia. As part of this Collaborative, the health priorities and concerns of residents have been identified and this information is now being translated into interventions to address these needs.
Cancer and Cardiovascular Disease Risk Education Trial
This trial is currently being conducted through the TLC. The purpose of this program is to evaluate the effects of an integrated risk counseling program on behavioral and psychological outcomes relevant to cancer and cardiovascular disease in African American residents in West and Southwest Philadelphia.

Community-based Cancer Navigation Program
This program is also being implemented through the TLC. The purpose of the navigator program is to develop and evaluate a community-based navigator program for cancer care in terms of uptake and subsequent screening behavior for breast, prostate and colon cancers.
Click here for a printable flyer with additional information (pdf)
Participant Registry
The Older Adult Research Connection is a registry, or list of people in the Minority Aging Research Center for Community Health (MARCH) at Penn. This registry is for individuals ages 55 and older who want to participate in research. The purpose of this registry is to develop a resource for recruiting men and women ages 55 and older into research, to find out differences among those who participate and to ultimately aid in the development of programs for older adults.

Blink, Ragdoll Run, Battery Level for WP8 and Nokia Access Point updated
We started off today with a number of apps updated for both Windows Phone 7 and 8, and it seems we'll be ending the evening that way too (depending on where you reside). Ragdoll Run, Access Point, Blink and Battery Level for WP8 have all been bumped. It's certainly been a busy day of publishing before the weekend hits Microsoft and developers.
So what's new in this collection of apps?
Nokia access point
This mysterious system app continues to be updated by Nokia, but we never quite know what the company is implementing or fixing. All we know is Nokia is working its magic and more updates can only mean a better experience for consumers. The app itself enables one to configure access points and how the Windows Phone connects to a desired network.
You can force check an update by viewing access point on the Windows Phone Store.
Battery Level for WP8
This Windows Phone 8 app (note the name) is a handy tool for those who wish to keep on top of battery life and usage on their handset. We previously looked at Battery Level for WP8 when it was bumped to version 1.1 last year, but now the app has just hit 1.4. Here's what the changelog reports:
- Localized to Russian, Polish, Hebrew
- Bug fixes
Not the largest update in the world, but still a new release. You can download Battery Level for WP8 from the Windows Phone Store for $0.99.
Microsoft Research pushed out this app earlier this month for Windows Phone 8, which is a lens to help capture photos before completely pressing down the shutter button, etc. to get that perfect shot. BLINK has since been updated to version 1.1 within a matter of days and introduces the following:
- Fixed edit bug for certain phones
- Fixed crashing issue for certain Lumia 820s
- Added tap to select
You can download BLINK from the Windows Phone Store.
Ragdoll Run
We've not touched on Ragdoll Run before. The highly popular game for Windows Phone is a cute, 3D puzzle arcade game which sports addictive gameplay with online leaderboard support. The main objective is to have your ragdoll run as far as possible. So what's new in 1.8?
The latest release sports the following:
- Added Live tile when Ragdoll Run is pinned to the start screen on the phone
- Updated abilities for Dixie and Zipper to include all Power-ups
- Changed the unlock criteria for Cookie
But that's enough text, be sure to download Ragdoll Run from the Windows Phone Store for $0.99 - a free version is available.
Thanks, Atif, for tipping us on these updates!

Ooooohhhhh, there´re a grey Lumia 920!!! Its is a mirage?? Wow!! :)
Pi Sin says:
lol i hv a grey NL920 too
ricardios says:
Battery level for wp8 gets updated almost every week it seems
sholokov says:
I email back and forth with the developer. He is very responsive and listens to every recommendation. I have reported bugs that he has fixed within days, like text overlap in chart, default zooming, and hopefully soon some version of time stamping on the graph. (Atif)
jordonreedm says:
I have the Lumia 810 in US and can't find access point in the store nor on my phone. Where can I find it and get the newest updated version?
Icbuono5 says:
You have to wait til your store app receives info about the app/setting update. That's how it is for most app settings that Nokia keeps updating.
Fritzly says:
Could it depend by carriers blocking it? My 920 is SIM free and,I have it...
tds101 says:
I wanted to try out "battery level for WP8", but the trial doesn't work at all. What a waste,...
Jhay Yap says:
is there a way to check all my apps if theres an update available without searching the app from the store to see if theres an update available? please help
matrixcruiser says:
It should do that by its own. I get a small numer next to my store icon displaying the count of apps with an available update.
Jazmac says:
I didn't think I would care for a battery app but I do. I like this one a lot. Looks good, unobtrusive and sits quiet until it has something to say. Good job on this one.
TopTomy says:
thanks for the info!!
juniwalk says:
I had also another update for the PDF reader this morning.
matrixcruiser says:
I tried several battery apps. Used battery status a long time. But right now i'm using Power status. It rly provides more information. Especially graphs of battery usage of the last 7 days. Someone might check that.
toph36 says:
My 4 year-old daughter loves Ragdoll Run! Great game and she is great at it! Better than me!
hutuka says:
Similar to Jhay Yap, I have to do these updates manually??? What the hell Microsoft?

Chile: A Traveller's Literary Companion
- Price: £11.99 Add to Basket
- A collection of twenty-two stories set in Chile, from authors and poets including Pablo Neruda and Ariel Dorfman.
Blow-up and Other Stories by Julio Cortazar
- Price: £11.99 Add to Basket

The Informers by Juan Gabriel Vasquez
- Price: £8.99 Add to Basket
- A story of personal and political betrayal in Columbia in the years following the Second World War, this is one of the most original new novels to come out of Latin America in recent years; a powerful story told with subtlety and elegance.
The Time of the Hero by Mario Vargas Llosa
- Price: £8.99 Add to Basket
- Mario Vargas Llosa's satirical first novel tells the story of a group of cadets, bored and horrified by the violence of their military education, who plan to escape their barracks in Lima. A thrilling and powerful book, so controversial that a thousand copies were publicly burnt on the streets of Lima. Highly recommended.
Sound of Things Falling by Juan Gabriel Vasquez
- Price: £16.99 Add to Basket
- The dark, brilliant new novel by Juan Gabriel Vasquez, author of The Informers and The Secret History of Costaguana. No sooner does he get to know Ricardo Laverde than disaffected young Colombian lawyer Antonio Yammara realises that his new friend has a secret, or rather several secrets. Antonio's fascination with the life of the ex-pilot becomes a troubled investigation that leads him all the way back to the early 1960s, marijuana smuggling and a time before the cocaine trade trapped a whole generation of Colombians in a living nightmare of fear and random death. The Sound of Things Falling, winner of this year's English PEN Writers in Translation Programme Award, confirms Juan Gabriel Vasquez as one of the leading novelists of his generation.
Lost City Radio by Daniel Alarcon
- Price: £7.99 Add to Basket
- One of the most exciting of a new generation of South America authors, Daniel Alarcon tells the story of Norma, a survivor of the brutal civil war who reads out the names of the missing on her radio show every evening. One day a boy from the Peruvian jungle walks in to the station with news of a husband she has not seen for ten years. Powerful, evocative and extremely moving.
The House of the Spirits by Isabel Allende

Of Love and Shadows by Isabel Allende
- Price: £8.99 Add to Basket
- This part-thriller, part-romance is based on a true story of the disappearance of a little girl called Evangelina from a small village in Chile in 1978. In an entertaining and nail-bitingly tense blend of fact and fiction, it exposes the corruption and violence of the state and the powerlessness of the Chilean people.
Dona Flor and Her Two Husbands by Jorge Amado
- Price: £12.99 Add to Basket
- Dona Flor, recently remarried to a kind, considerate pharmacist, is being haunted by her lascivious, decadent and very much dead first husband. A delightfully funny and romantic book, with that Latin American twist.
Gabriela, Clove and Cinnamon by Jorge Amado
- Price: £13.99 Add to Basket
- Gabriela, a poor, migrant worker, turns up in the traditional, rural, Brazilian town of Iheus. The year is 1925 but Gabriela will bring with her a wind of change that will turn this provincial town upside down. This is a warm-hearted, energetic, panoramic novel; equally likely to make you laugh out loud as cry.
Dom Casmurro by Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis
- Price: £12.99 Add to Basket
- Known as the Brazilian Othello, this masterpiece from nineteenth century novelist Machado de Assis, tells the story of Bento, a man on the eve of death, describing a life full of love, tragedy and self-deception, narrated in a unique, astonishingly modern style; a classic of Brazilian fiction.
The Posthumous Memoirs of Bras Cubas by Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis
- Price: £12.99 Add to Basket
- Bras Cubas, the ridiculous, amusing, quixotic narrator of this novel, recounts the story of his life from beyond the grave. A wonderful, outrageous book from this master of nineteenth century Brazilian fiction.
A Chapter of Hats by Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis
- Price: £8.99 Add to Basket
- A selection of newly translated short stories that showcase Machado de Assis' searing, elegant prose and paint an evocative picture of 19th century Rio de Janeiro.
The War of Don Emmanuel's Nether Parts by Louis de Bernieres
- Price: £7.99 Add to Basket
- The first in Louis de Bernieres' enchanting, magical, funny and moving trilogy set in a fictional Colombia where people turn into giant cats, the president dies on the toilet and vicious drugs barons and the militia cause havoc and destruction. Highly recommended.
One Hundred Days: One Hundred Nights by Christopher Bigsby
- Price: £10.00 Add to Basket
- The magical, carnival-like history of a fictional South American country from the moment a lost Nazi U-boat is grounded on its shores in 1944. Fabulous beasts, ridiculous dictators and beautiful girls are brought to life with energy and charm by Christopher Bigsby's elegant prose.
Nazi Literature in the Americas by Roberto Bolano
- Price: £16.99 Add to Basket
- Probably our most favourite book from this extraordinary, surreal Chilean writer. Insightful and blackly comic, he imagines entirely fictional biographies of right-wing authors.
By Night in Chile by Roberto Bolano
- Price: £7.99 Add to Basket
- On the last night of his life, Chilean priest and member of Opus Dei, Father Sebastian, recalls his life as a literary critic, repressed homosexual and Marxist teacher to Pinochet. The backdrop to Bolano's satiric masterpiece, is the brutal, violent history of Chile. Highly recommended.
House of Mist by Maria Luis Bombal

- Considered to be one of the earliest examples of magical realism, House of Mist tells the story of a young bride trapped in a loveless to marriage to a distant man obsessed with his first wife, and their life together in a house in the Chilean woods.

"Any resemblance between the Three Stooges and regular human beings is a dirty shame."
About Me
- Kansas Stooge
- "Hello! Hello! Hello! - Hello!" What? Tell something about myself. "Why Soitenly!" First and foremost I am a big fan of The Three Stooges!!! I'm a leader like Moe ( "I'll lead the way. Go ahead!" ), I work like Larry ( Moe: "Get the Tools". Larry: "What tools?" Moe: "The tools we been using for the last ten years!" Larry: "Oh, Those Tools!" ), I think like Curly ( "I'm trying to think but nothing happens" ). I was told this would make me poifect for the military!!! So I join the Air Force back in 1979 and stayed in for 13 years. Served in Desert Storm in 1991. "I make a lot of money but I got sick of the dough, and thought I'd go on the loaf." So I got out of the Air Force and join the Kansas Air National Guard in 1992. I have a great love for dogs! In fact I have four dogs that live in my house right now. "Arf! Arf! Arf!" & "RrrrARF!" After a long day at work, I come home, open the door, kiss the dogs and pat the wife on the head. What a life!!! "Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk" Of course after my wife reads this she's going to hit me on the head just like Moe would do Curly. And I'm going to have to run for the hills! "Woo, woo, woo, woo!!!"

Westminster is beginning our second of three years participating in a grant-funded research initiative called Project ShIFT (Shaping Inclusion through Foundational Transformation). As a part of our participation in Project ShIFT, and in response to the broadened definitions and protectiions in the reauthorization of the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Office of Disability Resources is in the process of updating its policies and procedures to be more consistent with current best practices in the field.
About Project ShIFT
Project ShIFT (SHaping Inclusion through Foundational Transformation) is a 3-year grant funded initiative of the Disability Resources Office of Lane Community College in Eugene, Oregon. The focus of the project is to prepare and support postsecondary disability service providers from across the country to examine and change disability policies and practices on their campuses.
The first year of the project focuses on campus disability resource programs and staff. Participants will explore progressive views of disability, universal design concepts, and conduct a careful examination of the subtle messages about disability that we encounter on a daily basis. Through a comprehensive curriculum, disability service professionals will examine the policies and practices of their offices and make plans for introducing changes in their policies, practices, and campus interactions.
During the second year of the project, a faculty member from each participant institution will be invited to participate. The disability service providers will serve as leaders for faculty in the redesign of curriculum, the use of UD instructional strategies, and the infusion of disability into course content. Faculty participants will examine their own teaching strategies, consider how course design impacts student inclusion, and develop a plan for integrating new design ideas into their courses.
The project will create and disseminate training curriculum for DS staff to analyze and enhance their own policies and practices and guide faculty in the development of more inclusive courses, the template for a DS action plan, implementation plans for faculty, and a replication manual. Campus-wide dissemination will be through trained DS staff and faculty with the goal of increasing institutional capacity; national dissemination will be through publication, presentation, and this project web site.
Many changes are under way, including our promotion and support of Universal Design in Instruction (UDI), and our renewed focus on disability definitions and reframing. It is important to note that these changes are intended to: respond to developing legal and social trends, reduce unnecessary barriers to access for qualified students, and bolster the overall climate of diversity on campus. None of these changes are to reduce student responsibility, faculty academic freedom, or Westminster's curricular rigor.

I've noticed a lot of female miniatures have bubbles in their chins - more than their male counterparts - goodness knows why.
Bought a witch-hunter and isabella during the week. Isabella was... quite good - not quite up to par with the last few finecast miniatures I've bought which were great.
The witch-hunter was really diabolical, the worst I've bought yet. They both have red stuff on them (mold release agent?) Maybe it's due to having a relatively high turnover - but I've never had a great finecast miniature from GW oxford street.
So out of nine purchases thus far - 5 postives, 2 neutral, 2 negative.

The independent British engine manufacturer´s foray into F1 is over, rivals say these days.
Coming back in 2010 to supply engines for the three newest teams on the grid, Marussia, Lotus and HRT, as well as Williams, but only the latter team managed to score points that year, finishing 6th in the championship. 2011 was a step back for Cosworth it seemed, when all their teams finished at the back of the grid, with Williams again being the best of the four, though only scoring 5 points of the season.
For this season only two teams are left with the Cosworth engines, HRT and Marussia. Williams and Caterham, the former Lotus team, both switched to Renault, but the immediate future looks grim for those final Cosworth powered teams. Rule changes from 2014, mean that the current V8 units are history, replacing them with Turbo charged V6 engines, and it´s a big question of Cosworth can even stay for the final season.
Speaking to motorsport-total.com, Renault´s Jean-Francois Caubet said:
"Cosworth, for sure, are finished." Caubet is pushing for FIA to 'relax' the rules so that engine suppliers can have more than four customers. And last year Caubet said: "I am pushing for an open market because we are in formula one and regulations cannot solve all the problems," he added.
So what´s left for the teams to choose from? Craig Pollock, who we know as former team principal for the BAR Racing Team, is ready with the answer. His PURE engines have been under development for some time, and expects to be ready to take on customers when the new rules for 2014 are introduced.
"Cosworth cannot be there in 2014. They just can't make it in time now, no matter what anybody says," Pollock said. "It's an absolute impossibility."
When BMW and Toyota dropped out of F1 before the 2010 season, the engine diversity dropped too. For the first time in 30 years, only four engine manufacturers supplied engines to the teams.
Cosworth have supplied engines to such teams as Lotus, McLaren, Matra, Brabham, March, Tyrrell, Surtees, Hesketh, Lola, Williams, Penske, Wolf, Ligier. From 1969 to 1973 every world championship was won using the powerful DFV-engine, Double Four Valve, winning 155 races out of a total of 262 between 1967 and 1985.

I've heard of about half of those. I voted. You're welcome.
Team America: World Police
everything on your list sucks.
so many great movies...tough tough choice
loved sideways and bourne but i chose.........
oddly enough the two worst are winning...holy shit
Went for kill bill 2. Million dollar baby is a strong choice too.
Napolean Dynamite was funny as hell, and it was unique; very original. I thought it would suck but peer pressure got to me and I fucking loved it.
Kill Bill 2 was excellent, but it's hard for me not to think of 1 & 2 as one long movie...
The Aviator was good, even though DiCaprio irks me for some reason....Howard Hughes was an interesting dude.
