Midday Roundup: In Ukraine, another province goes rogue
Unrelenting unrest. In an ominous echo of events in Crimea, pro-Russian separatists seized a provincial building in the eastern Ukrainian city of Donetsk on Monday and proclaimed the region independent. Ukrainian authorities called the move an attempt by Russia to sow unrest. The Russian Foreign Ministry rejected the allegations but reaffirmed its long-held demand that the Ukrainian government turn the country into a federation with broader powers for provinces. Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk said Russian troops remain stationed within 19 miles of the border.
In memory. Mickey Rooney, the cherub-faced icon of 1940s Hollywood, died Sunday at age 93. A superstar in his youth, Rooney sang and danced; played roles both serious and silly; wrote memoirs, a novel, movie scripts, and plays; and married eight times, fathering 11 children. His early blockbuster success as the vexing but wholesome Andy Hardy and as Judy Garland's musical comrade was bookended 70 years later by roles in Night at the Museum and The Muppets. After a lifetime of philandering, he became a member of the Church of Religious Science, a New Age spirituality group that emphasizes meditation, and settled in suburban Thousand Oaks, about 40 miles west of Los Angeles. In 2011, Rooney was in the news again when he testified before Congress about abuse of the elderly, alleging that he was left powerless by a family member who took and misused his money.
Promising ping. Searchers looking for the missing Malaysia Airlines plane have discovered signals in the Indian Ocean that could be from its black box. The Australian navy vessel Ocean Shield picked up the signals using a U.S. Navy device called a towed pinger locator. Crews are working to verify the signals and confirm their location. When and if they can do that, the next step will be to send down the U.S. Navy's autonomous underwater vessel Bluefin 21, a robot that can create a sonar map of the seafloor and any wreckage, as well as take photos. Since the Bluefin's range is limited, searchers are waiting to use it until they determine more precisely where the pings are coming from.
Mob mentality. A Bacchanalian Spring Break fest near the University of California, Santa Barbara, turned into a violent melee over the weekend. About 100 people were arrested and at least 44 were taken to the hospital after the party known as Deltopia devolved into a rock- and bottle-throwing free-for-all. Police had to fire tear gas and foam projectiles to break up the crowd of about 15,000 people. Party-goers got unruly when a campus officer arrested someone who hit him in the face with a backpack filled with large bottles of alcohol, sheriff's spokeswoman Kelly Hoover said. One university officer and five deputies were injured, including one who was hit in the face with a brick and two others who were both hit in the hand with bottles, authorities said. One will require surgery on his hand, Hoover said.
Taking bets. NASA wants your best guess on when an orbiter on a scientific mission will make a planned collision with the moon. The LADEE spacecraft is finishing up its work and gradually descending toward the moon, though when it will crash land is anyone's guess. NASA is inviting members of the public to enter on a website their guesses of the day, hour, and minute the spacecraft will crash. Winners will be notified by email and receive a personalized certificate.

Kate Winslet: Celeb Mom Who Embraces Her Curves (Photos)TheMommyologist
In a business where most women are totally preoccupied with being a size zero, it's so refreshing to see celebrity moms who actually embrace their curves. I'm not sure when exactly being pin-thin instead of looking like a real woman became trendy, but thankfully, more voluptuous, feminine looking bodies seem to be making a comeback.
Kate Winslet is one celeb mom who has never been ashamed of her body, and she has always been proud to be a normal, healthy size. Many people fell in love with Kate when she starred opposite Leonardo DiCaprio in Titanic. Her classic good looks and natural beauty simply cannot be argued with!
Poor Kate was trying to enjoy a relaxing family vacation this week on Richard Branson's Necker Island, but the mansion shockingly caught fire during a bad storm last night. Kate and her kids are all okay and were not injured.
To see photos of Kate and her gorgeous curves, check out the slide show below.

text: Gander mountain use to give a 10% discount on all merchandise other than firearms to all retired and active duty military. I was in the Lake Mary, Florida store last week and was told that they where no longer offering a discount for retired and active duty military. Over the last couple of months I had purchased over $2000.00 worth of merchandise and really enjoyed the discount. I e-mailed Gander Mountain and they said that they will offer a discount on phone and internet orders but not in stores. But in the future I will look at other places that offer a discount to those that serve.

I appreciate negativity is more popular right now but there's a lot more good than bad with the Pats IMO.
On offense the mistakes have been magnified due to happening at critical moments but appear to be more decision making issues than talent and so in theory at least are correctible. It probably wasn't realistic to expect a well-oiled machine right away despite the talent. There's a lot of moving parts with Josh McD being the new/old OC. None of the RB's nor Gronk and Hernandez have played with him. The departure of Light and Waters plus injuries have slowed the o-line getting into sync as a unit.
Despite some hiccups even in today's offensive era no team has been more productive overall on offense.
The defensive front 7 has real potential and is already solid against the run which is never a bad thing. Yes, a more consistent pass rush would be nice but very few teams can consistently generate pass rush with just the down linemen. Especially when two starters, Wilfork and Love, are more run stoppers. We've seen flashes of good blitz instincts from the LB's at times. One has to think the reluctance to blitz is based mostly on the inexperience in the secondary.
Yes, the secondary has been tough to watch. But the two most experienced guys, Chung and Gregory have been hurt. So you've got 3 rookies, Wilson, Dennard and Ebner, two of whom are basically starting. Two other guys, Dowling and Moore are virtual rookies. McCourty is again getting bounced around.
The margin of error in terms of giving up plays is very small and we're currently watching trial by fire for that young group, which is tough now but should pay dividends later. There seems to be talent, although I'll admit being a little worried about Chung, and the problem seems to be moreso uncertainty with assignments which should improve. If BB develops a little more confidence in these young guys understanding their jobs, hopefully we'll see a more aggressive approach in the second half.
As hard as close losses are to watch this team should ultimately be more battle tested than last year.
Lots of football still to come. Hang in there Pats fans.

2007 Sabermetric Year in Review: Chicago White Sox
March 25, 2008 2 Comments
Well, the next stop (#25)Āon the tour will be a short trip, although I never really get down to the South Side.Ā If you ever want to know how deep that Sox/Cubs/South Side/North SideĀdivide goes in Chicago, allow me to tell the following story.Ā In 2005, right after the White Sox won the World Series (first time I'd ever been in a city that had won a major championship), there were news reports that the South Side was just one giant party.Ā On the North Side, you probably would have gotten the same reaction if you had said "Hey, the Texas Rangers just won the World Series."Ā
Record: 72-90,Ā4th inĀAL CentralĀ
Pythagorean Projection (Patriot formula):Ā 66.41 wins (693 runs scored,Ā839 runs allowed)
Team Statistical Pages:
Baseball Reference
Baseball Prospectus
MVN Blog:
The Bard's Room (huh?)
MoreĀWhite SoxĀResources:
Latest News
Contract StatusĀ
Trade Rumors
Overview: That Pythagorean record is astounding.Ā The White Sox managed to look respectable by pulling out a few close games, but deep down, they were a 66 win team.Ā
What went right: Jim Thome is still going strong.Ā As an Indians fan still holding on to the glory of the mid-90s that's good to see.Ā Still strikes out 30% of the time, and still a good bet to hit 35-40 HR.Ā Thome's a good case study in why the magic 500 HR mark for admission into the Hall of Fame is going to lead to some weird cases.Ā I'm not much into the whole Hall of Fame debates.ĀĀI think it is and should stayĀa museum and a cultural shrine more than anything, so usually, I don't lose sleep over who gets in, but… Thome?Ā In Thome's defense, he hasĀa career OPS of .974, and statistically, I could probably make a halfway decent case with the rest of his numbers.Ā Maybe I'm just reaching the point in my life where where I can't believe that a guy might soon be in the Hall of Fame and I was at one of his first games in the Majors.Ā Sorry, I'm having a mid-life crisis when I should be re-capping everything that went right for the White Sox last year.Ā Fortunately, nothing went right for the White Sox last year.
What went wrong: Where to begin?Ā Juan Uribe?Ā It's not that he actually even regressed to anything.Ā His stat line looks like it has for the last few years.Ā Juan Uribe is another one of those guys who looks better because fantasy players like him because he's a shortstop who hits home runs.Ā He also has a OBP (also called the not-making-an-out percentage) of .284, rarely walks, strikes out a lot, and he somehow went 1-for-10 in stolen base attempts last year.Ā Maybe someone needs to have a talk with Ozzie Guillen about… well, a lot of things.Ā But, a conversation aboutĀthis in particular would do some good.
Didn't Jose Contreras used to be good?Ā His luck was a little off in 2007 (BABIPĀin the .340s), but the trend line is definitely pointing downward.Ā Even granting him the very generous "he's really 36," it's not like there are a lot of 36 year olds who suddenly put everything back together.
Then there'sĀthe little issue of the White SoxĀminor league system, ranked by Baseball Prospectus as last in the majors.Ā Part of it is because some of their prospects "graduated", but that means that someone is asleep at the wheel in the White Sox front office that they have no one left.
Yeah, that about sums it up: A list of White Sox hitters with a VORP over 10: Jim Thome, Paul Konerko, and Jermaine Dye (12.2)Ā A list of White Sox hitters with a VORP below zero (min 200 PA): Jerry Owens, Danny Richar, Scott Podsednik, Darin Erstad, Juan Uribe, and Angel Gonzalez.Ā Alex Cintron and Joe Crede were also below replacementĀlevel, but just missed my 200 PA cutoff.Ā I just didn't want to make the White Sox feel too bad.
A trade here, a trade there: I covered the Orlando Cabrera-for-Jon Garland trade in my piece on the Los Angeles California Angels of Anaheim near Los Angeles.Ā Summary: Orlando Cabrera is over-rated.Ā So is Jon Garland.Ā Carlos Quentin has the nice habit of putting up .900+ OPS numbers in AAA, but of course, needs to repeat that in the majors. Nick Swisher, all Moneyball references aside, is a good player to have on a team because he gets on base a lot.Ā All they had to give up was a lefty starter who absolutely lit up AA last year, a righty starter who absolutely lit up A ball last year, and a marginal 23 year old outfielder.Ā So, they got a good guy who will help them get up to .500 this year for two pitching prospects whose stats made me drool out of a very dry farm system otherwise.Ā And a throw-in outfielder.Ā Then, there's Scott Linebrink who signed to help out in the bullpen for 4 years and $19 million.Ā That's at once a bargain and an amazingly bad contract.Ā Linebrink has pitched just as well as many closers (such as Coco Cordero, who's going to make something like $10 million this year), but didn't do it in the ninth inning.Ā No saves, no money.Ā But, then theĀOrioles tried this type of strategy — throw a lot of money at some middle relievers –Āand it didn't exactly work out well for them.ĀĀFour years for a guy who looked great in 2004 and 2005, when his BABIP was below league average, and in 2005 especially when his HR/FB was below league average…Ā Yeah, the White Sox are doing just dandy, aren't they.
Is there something Bobby Jenks isn't telling us?: Sneak a peek at Bobby's fangraphs pitch breakdown page.Ā His average fastball has gone from 97 mph in 2005 to 95.8 in 2006 to 93.9 in 2007.Ā His strikeout rate also dropped a lot this year.Ā Not much else changed, and he's still going to be a rough pitcher to have to deal with, but is there a reason for the declining velocity?
Ozzie Guillen and crazy ball:ĀSo, Ozzie likes to do the "bunt, run, and swear at your team in the presser afterward" strategy.Ā Hey, at least he's entertaining.Ā BUT, it worked in 2005, didn't it?Ā In 2005, the White Sox were third in the league in stolen bases.Ā They also led the league in times being caught stealing.Ā In fact, they checked in with 137 steals in 204 attempts, for a success rate around 67%.Ā That's below the usually accepted cut off point of 70%.Ā So, the White Sox won in spite of their baserunning madness.Ā Then, there's bunting.Ā Bunting is a good strategy when the player who's doing the bunting is an awful hitter.ĀĀI now present the OBPs of the White Sox starting nine for 2005 (the guys who logged the most time at each defensive position — and DH).Ā .308, .375, .342, .303, .301, .351, .329, .333, .311.Ā Anyone notice any obscenely low numbers in there?Ā Yeah, bunting a little more often might be a good idea then.Ā The White Sox scored 741 runs in 2005, good for ninth in the league.Ā For a winning offensive strategy… that's not a really effective strategy.Ā
Swearing at the team in the presser afterwards, however, makes living in Chicago a little bit more entertaining.Ā Thanks Ozzie.
Outlook:ĀNo farm system.Ā Players who were good last year are aging and there weren't that many to begin with.Ā Odd trades.Ā Well… at least they've won a World Series in the last century, which is more than their neighbors to the north can say.

Allergy-Proof Your Life
10 Ways to Soothe a Sore Throat
One of the most effective treatments for sore throat is probably already in your medicine cabinet: an over-the-counter, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) such as Advil or Aleve.
"These medicines are combination pain relievers and anti-inflammatories, so they'll make you feel better and they'll also reduce some of the swelling associated with a sore throat," Dr. Linder says. "If you have a fever that's also contributing to your symptoms, they can help reduce that as well."

Through the first three weeks, Kelen "B Hyphen" Conley has led the way (34-14), despite a mediocre 9-7 last week. The rookie "Mischievious" McCumber is right behind B Hyphen, going 31-17 through the first three weeks. Thomas "Nocturne" Deja has been the model of consistency of the group, going 10-6 all three weeks. The defending champion, Mike "The Buzz-Saw" Asti (28-20 through 3 weeks) hasn't been able to emulate last season's success, as he sits in fourth place. Anthony "Triple S" Sellers has been the dullest tool in the GoG shed, however, only carving out a 27-21 record through the first three weeks. Can Asti mount a comeback to repeat as champion? Can "Triple S" transform into the proverbial gridiron Einstein? Can Hyphen stay atop the group?
Conley 34-14 (9-7 week 3)
McCumber 31-17 (8-8 week 3)
Deja 30-18 (10-6 week 3)
Asti 28-20 (7-9 week 3)
Sellers 27-21 (7-9 week 3)
The Unanimous Games (unanimous groups picks are bold and italicized)
San Francisco @ St. Louis (played Thursday night)
Cincinnati @ Cleveland
Indianapolis @ Jacksonville
Philadelphia @ Denver
New England @ Atlanta
Miami @ New Orleans
The Standout Games
Baltimore @ Buffalo
The rookie Mischievious "quoth the Raven, nevermore." He likes the Bills to win at home, while the rest of the Gridiron Geeks are flying with Joe Flacco and the Ravens.
Chicago @ Detroit
Again, the rookie Mischievious stands alone, taking the Lions at home while the other Gridiron Geeks like Chicago to leave Detroit with a victory.
New York Giants @ Kansas City Chiefs
The Buzz-Saw goes with Eli Manning and the Giants to bounce back against KC, while the other four Gridiron Geeks like Alex Smith, Jamaal Charles and the Chiefs to get back-to-back-to-back-to-back wins.
Pittsburgh @ Minnesota
Which team will get their first win? The rookie Mischievious and "Nocturne" Deja (you can read Deja's analysis here) go with Adrian Peterson and the Vikings. The Buzz-Saw, B Hyphen, and Triple S like Pittsburgh to defeat Minnesota in London for their first win of the season.
Arizona @ Tampa Bay
While four of the Gridiron Geeks like Arizona, Mike "the Buzz-Saw" went in the opposite direction and likes the Buccaneers to snipe the Cardinals this week.
Seattle @ Houston
Deja, Hyphen, and Sellers go with the Seahawks on the road, while the rookie Mischievious and the Buzz-Saw like the Texans at home.
New York Jets @ Tennessee
Again, it's Deja, Hyphen, and Sellers teaming up with the Jets and rookie QB Geno Smith, while the rookie Mischievious and the Buzz-Saw like the Titans to win at home.
Washington @ Oakland
The rookie Mischievious and Sellers go with the Redskins to win in the black hole, while B Hyphen, the Buzz-Saw and Deja like the Raiders to get their second win.
Dallas @ San Diego
B Hyphen, the Buzz-Saw and Deja pick San Diego to get to .500 on the season, while the rookie Mischievious and Sellers go with America's Team.
Be sure to check back next week as the Gridiron Geeks continue to battle for the title "Minister of the Tricycle"!

City Manager Robert Herron said Wheeling officials are close to finalizing a deal to purchase and demolish the former downtown location of Howard's Diamond Center, adding to the more than 40,000 square feet of land the city already has cleared to create open space for future development.
"We're near an agreement," Herron said Friday. "My guess is we'll have something in place within a week or so."
Workers were seen Friday removing items from the 1125 Market St. building, the entrance to which is now roped off with bright yellow caution tape. The city has been negotiating with building owners Seth and Howard Posin since late February, when the jewelers settled a lawsuit with their insurance company related to damage done to the building during the 1100 block demolition in October 2012.
Article Photos
Photo by Shelley Hanson/Caution tape now blocks the entrance to the former Howard's Diamond Center building in downtown Wheeling, which the city is close to acquiring, according to City Manager Robert Herron.
City Council would have to sign off on any purchase agreement. Herron said the city would use proceeds from its 2011 tax increment financing bond sale to purchase and raze the building, as it did to pay for the rest of the 1100 block project.
Herron would not comment on what the city would be willing to pay for the Howard's Diamond Center property, noting the purchase price would be made public when it comes before council. The property was appraised at $68,200 in 2008, and its most recent assessed value is $29,588.
This is not the first time Wheeling has attempted to purchase the building, which was one of three the city sought unsuccessfully as part of the original 1100 block project.
Several years ago, when the jewelry store was still open downtown, the Posins refused to sell the building - but the business moved to The Highlands in 2010. And on Oct. 25, 2012, city demolition contractor Dore and Associates knocked a wall onto the Howard's Diamond Center building in the process of demolishing an adjacent structure, destroying the roof and damaging all three floors.
Hartford Fire Insurance Co.'s subsequent refusal to pay the jeweler's claim on the building led to the lawsuit, settlement terms of which have not been disclosed. The original suit sought nearly $700,000 in damages.

A top hedge fund manager has called on Microsoft's Steve Ballmer to step down.
David Einhorn, President of Greenlight Capital, blames Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer for the company's stock price. Speaking candidly during the annual Ira Sohn Investment Research Conference in New York on Wednesday, Einhorn said it was time for Ballmer to step aside and "give someone else a chance," after being in charge for over 10 years. "His continued presence is the biggest overhang on Microsoft's stock," he added.
Microsoft shares rose by 0.87% in after-hours trading on Wednesday following Einhorn's remarks. Einhorn's hedge fund owns around 9 million shares in Microsoft, 0.11% of the company's outstanding shares reports Reuters.
Speculation that Ballmer would step down spiked in November after he sold 49.3 million shares, at a price of between $26 and $28 each. The Microsoft chief still owns around 359 million Microsoft shares, or 4.2% of the company, worth $9.6 billion in total. Steve Ballmer, one of the richest people in the world, took over as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Microsoft in January 2000. The detroit born Harvard student joined Microsoft in June, 1980. Ballmer was Microsoft's 30th employee and was initially offered a salary of $50,000. Ballmer is the 33rd richest person in the world according Forbes, with an estimated wealth of $14.5 billion.

The Sphincter Muscle and Peak Performance
There is a basic human instinct that is as old as 'fight or flight'. When a person feels threatened or under pressure, our body automatically reacts with basic physiological responses. These automatic reactions can hinder athletic performance if we let them. It is vital to understand how our body and our mind respond to playing under pressure so we can control those automatic responses and keep them from hindering performance. Most young basketball players don't know how to control their body's reaction, so most remain a victim of the automatic response.
Every competitive basketball player knows the feeling right before a big game. The crowd has the buzz of excitement, the band is playing, the basketball coach is giving last minute reminders, and there is a ball of excitement building inside your chest. Whether you call this nerves, adrenaline, or tightness, it invokes the same physical reaction. First, the sphincter muscle tightens. It is important to note that the sphincter muscle surrounds the stomach and the intestines. We feel the tightness of the sphincter in the pit of our stomach; this is also called "butterflies". The second thing that happens is the solar plexus (the chest plate) gets rigid and begins to constrict. This is what creates the 'tightness' we feel at the beginning of games, and in the moment of truth towards the end.
These natural, automatic reactions to performing under pressure impact a very important aspect of athletic performance. Breathing. When we feel the tightness, we forget to breathe and we don't get as much oxygen into the lungs; the tightness builds to a point where we can't perform reflexive athletic movements and find it difficult to get our breath.
NBA legend, Larry Bird, was in many pressure situations throughout his basketball career. He is one of the best clutch basketball players the basketball world has ever seen. Larry Birds's teammates, coaches, or anyone who sat courtside have said that when they saw and heard Larry play, they were shocked by the volume of his breathing. He was a lanky 6'9 man sprinting up and down the basketball floor and all one would hear was the sound of his breathing – deep, in through the nose, and exhale through the mouth.
The best way to counteract tightness, to loosen the chest plate, solar plexus and sphincter, is to practice deep breathing. This will counteract, the tightness, lack of breath, and nerves in pressure situations. Make it a habit to breathe intentionally.
Pressure also impacts our mind.
Don't think of a White Horse!
I bet you did. I guarantee you saw a white horse in your mind.
There are two worlds we can choose to live in. As an athlete we can choose to be a part of the world of 'do' or 'do not'. When most basketball players make a mistake, miss a shot, or are under pressure, they focus on what not to do - (don't miss long, don't throw the basketball away, and don't get beat on defense). Words have power, and negative words carry negative power - when what you focus on is do not miss the shot, you will likely miss, when your focus is do not turnover the basketball, you likely will.
Live in the world of do. Do get wide and run the lane hard in transition, do box out your man on defense, and do get your legs loaded and ready to shoot the basketball. These are all positive focus points. This is a world of action, not reaction. When you feel pressure, focus on one thing to do - breathe. Then do it again and again. It is amazing how this will impact your performance.
Coaches, we challenge you to live in the world of do as well. Instead of coaching your basketball players on what not to do, give them the positive alternative. Many times in a game, when a mistake is made, our first reaction is to coach the mistake. Don't throw the basketball away, don't run at the ball, don't foul, and don't take that bad shot. That is a sure-fire way to reinforce negatives. It takes more imagination to coach them in the alternative. Do show your hands to the referee, do move off of penetration, do be ready to shoot, and do help earlier. It's a far more powerful method of coaching and it will increase the energy of your players.
Breathe and Do.

We are started Phase II of our CycleTracks data collection in San Francisco in November of 2013. You can still download the iOS or Android app versions today and start recording your trips. Every trip counts!
CycleTracks in San Francisco, PHASE II
The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) has been busy enhancing San Francisco's bicycle infrastructure over the last couple of years, and we want to know how it's going out there. We're finding out with the help of cyclists who install the CycleTracks smartphone application and use it to record their bike rides. Install CycleTracks and start logging your trips today!
In 2010, we used CycleTracks to learn just how important bike lanes are. We also were able to use the data that was collected in our SF-CHAMP travel demand model to forecast how attractive bike facility A would be compared to facility B, and to understand the potential mode shifts that could occur with implementation of bike infrastructure. Now we have a lot more bike lanes and many other innovative facilities (i.e. parking-separated cycletracks, green-backed sharrows, and soft-hit posts) that we want to learn about.
Ever wondered what effect building out the SFMTA bike plan had on cycling? Us too. The 2010 data collection was gathered "before" implementation of the bike plan, now we're looking at "after" data to see how the new facilities of changed the bicycling landscape. Think of it as an extensive follow-up survey where all you have to do is push a couple buttons before you take your regular rides.
CycleTracks uses smartphone GPS support to record users' bicycle trip routes and times, and display maps of their rides, in order to help transportation planners make informed decisions about bicycle use in the community. At the end of each trip, data representing the trip purpose, route, and the date and time are sent to the San Francisco County Transportation Authority (SFCTA) for analysis. All personally identifiable data are kept confidential.* The Transportation Authority—or another agency using CycleTracks-uses the data to create models that better predict where cyclists will ride and how land developments and transportation infrastructure will affect cycling in the community. The SFCTA developed CycleTracks to help understand the needs of cyclists, in order to more effectively prioritize cycling infrastructure investments.
CYCLETRACKS IN SAN FRANCISCO, PHase I: November 2009 through April 2010
Data Collected
The CycleTracks App was developed in 2009 to collect data in the San Francisco area for models that would predict what types of routes cyclists were likely to use, based on rider characteristics (e.g., level of experience) and characteristics of the bike network (hills, bike lanes, and sharrows).
How did we use CycleTracks data?
After several months of data collection, there was a sufficient amount of data to develop a bike route choice model. The results of the model development have been published in the peer-reviewed journal "Transportation Letters."
What does a bike route choice model do? It shows how more or less attractive it is to bike between two points in San Francisco, based on the relative scores of a multitude of routes. The purpose of the bike route choice model is to both (1) allow planners to understand in a quantitative and statistically valid way the trade-offs that cyclists are making when they are out biking (i.e., How far away are people willing to bike for a bike lane versus a sharrow?) and (2) incorporate the value of bicycle infrastructure into the SF-CHAMP travel demand model.
What did we Learn?
A few nuggets that we found from CycleTracks data in San Francisco:
The model even revealed the value of routes such as "The Wiggle" by demonstrating the distance people were willing to bike out of their way, rather than take more direct routes over nearby hills.
How is CycleTracks data used in SF-CHAMP, the official travel model for San Francisco?
Previously, SF-CHAMP did not have a way of understanding the value of a bike lane versus a regular street. With the completion of the bike route choice model, official travel forecasts are able to quantify in a statistically valid way the benefit of bike infrastructure on congestion, mode share, and active travel.
Incorporating the bike route choice model into SF-CHAMP makes San Francisco one of the first cities in the world to be able to quantitatively forecast changes in travel behavior-and the effects on congestion and greenhouse-gas emissions-as a result of bicycle infrastructure investment. Academic papers detailing this achievement are can be found at the bottom of this page.
Since the SFCTA declared the initial San Francisco project a success in 2010, a number of other agencies and municipalities have begun using CycleTracks to understand the needs of cyclists. As of August 2012, 4,365 users have submitted trips. 14% of users have submitted 10 or more trips.
Both the application (iPhone and Android versions) and the bike route choice model are open source and available on Github, to fork and rebrand. We have also made the (anonymized) data collected via the CycleTracks available to public agencies who wish to publicize the original application without reworking it, which allows agencies and researchers across the country to replicate and build on what we've done.

Article adapted from: "Putting Out the Fire,"
TechBeat, Fall 1998. Reprinted with permission.
At times it looked like Utica, N.Y., was going up in smoke. Its arson rate was twice the national average and three times the state average.
Utica's arson problems could be traced to several sources. The city had lost more than 30 percent of its population due to the closing of Griffiss Air Force Base and defense-related businesses. With the local economy spiraling downward and home sales plummeting, some property owners started burning their homes for the insurance money. Others just boarded them up and walked away. These areas became prey to drug dealers who often burned property used by competitors to take over additional turf. At the same time, New York City cracked down on criminal activities, significantly lowering its crime rate but sending many criminals scurrying for new and more lucrative areas. In addition, profiteers bought abandoned housed at fire-sale prices, insured for $100,000, and torched them.
At its worst, Utica firefighters battled two or three blazes a night, with 45 percent of all structure fires ruled arson. The national average for arson case closures was 15 percent; Utica, a town of 65,000 people living in nine square miles, only closed 2 percent.
Technology Useful
The inner city bore the brunt of the arson-related crimes, but it was where hope was born. With $10,000 from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Utica, several surrounding local agencies and federal agencies formed the Utica Arson Strike Force in April 1997. From each participating agency, the strike force tapped experts in arson investigation and housed them in an abandoned firehouse in the city's most fire-ravaged section.
Utica was designated the fourth pilot city in FEMA's National Arson Prevention Initiative. FEMA asked the National Institute of Justices' (NIJ) National Law Enforcement and Corrections Technology Center (NLECTC) to assess and provide the team's technology requirements.
"They needed a digital camera, a color scanner, printers, and funding to build a custom database, which we provided," says John Ritz, director of NLECTC-Northeast. "They also needed a local area network, which we designed, built, and implemented. This network gives them the capability to send and receive information with other agencies."
Through the U.S. Air Force's Law Enforcement Analysis Facility, NLECTC-Northeast also cleaned up audio tapes taken from body wires and enhanced the quality of surveillance audio and videotapes.
"The actual number of dollars invested has not been that much," Ritz says. "The task force has substantial manpower and expertise in every area of arson investigation. We provided the technology that supports what they do. With the digital camera, they can develop high-quality investigative documents, which increases their conviction rate. It also lets them e-mail suspect photos to other agencies, which has helped them arrest arsonists in New York City, North Carolina, Nevada, and Florida."
Coordinated Effort
The strike force consists of a commander, a deputy commander, a technical-resource coordinator, an operations officer, three fire marshals, an arson-detection dog and handler, a forensic technician, a special agent from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF), an assistant district attorney on call 24 hours a day, and six investigators. Participating agencies include the Utica Police Department (UPD), Oneida County Sheriff's Department, Utica Fire Department (UFD), New York State Office of Fire Prevention and Control, and New York State Police. Part-time members come from the U.S. Marshals Service, the New York State Insurance Fraud Bureau, and NLECTC-Northeast.
The strike force also took advantage of cooperation, donations and funding from the community: A local communications company provided intercoms for the strike force's offices; a cellular phone company supplied phones to investigators for free for six months; local businesses, agencies and colleges donated office furniture, computers and supplies; area insurance companies donated money and camera equipment; the UFD donated

Traditional charcoal briquette machine needs many people to operate and is easy to have failure during the working process. Under the above situation, Fote briquetting machine manufacturer makes a series of improvements. For the upgraded charcoal briquettes making machine, it has two rollers inside with same diameter and certain distance.The two rollers revolve toward different way at similar speed. On surface of rollers, ball sockets with different shape and similar size are regularly arranged. Since two rollers are put horizontally, powered materials can be continuously and evenly fed from the above. Through the pre-loading spiral, raw materials are impulsively fed into the distance between two double rollers. Before being delivered into distance between two rollers, raw materials move freely and get struck at certain points. According to the strong appeal for clean environment and sustainable economy, charcoal briquetting machine will develop more and more quickly. Through the screens, briquettes are screened and packaged. For those unqualified briquettes, they should be suppressed again after being mixed with new materials. Since some materials are quite hard to be fed, Fote briquetting machine manufacturer equips the charcoal briquette machine with spiral feeder. As to the preloading spiral, it can well limit the feeding work. As long as the feeding amount is sufficient, work of charcoal briquette press machine will not be a problem. To acquire the highest balling rate and largest working capacity of charcoal briquette press machine, you can properly change the working speed by adjusting the electromagnetic speed motors manually.

I just don't seem to see what the point is in playing that vehicle. Especially considering the ridiculous grind that it entails.
They feel like obese, handicapped Grilles.
One would think, "Wow, what a huge gun! It's surely the best thing in the world!", but at the end of the day, the 210mm isn't as strong as one would think when reading the usual "remove arty" threads. Of course, it does not help that even when aiming properly, there's still a very high chance that you will hit nothing at all.
Missing targets is something all SPG players are used to, but waiting for such a big shell's ridiculous reload time is simply boring. It's an all or nothing vehicle. Now and then the shells will land just right and you will feel happy about it, but if you miss two shells it means that you spend a long time being bored without being able to do anything for the team.
Grille-Hummel-GwPanther - they're all upgrades. But this is a downgrade...and Gw Typ E isn't looking like it will be worthwhile. I don't even have mobility, so there's no versatility to be found either.
So again, what's the point of those two vehicles? And more importantly, why is there such an overwhelming amount of Gwt/E players, when these machines seem to be so bad? What am I doing wrong?
I'm getting close to selling this thing and forgetting about it. The little Premium SPG is much more fun to use, even if it has a weak gun.
On another note, what IS the point of any superheavy tank? E-100, GWT/E, Maus, JPE. It seems to me that Superheavies don't work at all. I bet a lot of the people wouldn't mind if these vehicles were replaced for more reasonable designs anyways.
Maybe I just don't know how to play.
Edit: I'm gonna try the 170mm gun again, it seems more reasonable.

Stock rating: 'BUY' - TCS, Wipro, Tech Mahindra Ltd v 'HOLD' - Infosys, HCL Technologies shares. Weak Indian rupee could be used to gain share: Indian IT service companies will benefit from the steep depreciation of the rupee for the second year in a row. While rupee depreciation has a positive impact on the margins (and hence earnings) of the Indian vendors, importantly it also improves the competitiveness of the Indian IT service companies and can be used to gain market share. In particular, it will enable vendors to enhance win rates in IMS (infrastructure management services)-based deals. Margin pressure exerted by these deals (which, in some cases, involve transfer of assets and employees), particularly during the ramp-up years, can be offset by gains from a weaker rupee.
Our analysis demonstrates that even if Indian vendors endeavour to maintain operating margins, ceteris paribus, for every 1% depreciation of the Indian rupee vs US dollar the Indian vendors would save $12-53m, which can be used to invest in sales with a lower margin profile.
We assume it is currently possible to achieve cost savings of 40%, which is approximately the mid-point of the range (30-60%) that we have come across in industry commentary. We estimate this would increase to 44-46% (from 40% assumed) if the rupee depreciated by 9-12% year-on-year in FY14e (estimates). This assumes that Indian vendors pass on all the gains from rupee depreciation to clients.
Alternately, the Indian vendors could choose to use the gains from a weak rupee to offer price discounts and gain market share. Our detailed analysis suggests that most Indian vendors could witness 6-8% increases in FY15e USD revenue growth forecasts. Consequently, earnings forecasts could potentially move up 4-11%.
Tata Consultancy Services (TCS)top beneficiary; will invest to win more large and complex engagements: While all offshore vendors gain from the increased cost competitiveness, we believe TCS will make the best use of the current rupee weakness to win more transformational engagements (involving IMS) and improve its top line, while maintaining operating margins. Our analysis suggests that TCSs USD revenue CAGR over FY14-16e could increase to 24.5% (vs our current estimate of 21.8%). Consequently, it could report an earnings CAGR of 23.8% (vs our current estimate of 18.3%).
Infosysloss of talent will affect deal win rates: Though theoretically Infosys should be the second best beneficiary, the loss of senior business heads in the strongest market (the US) and inferior positioning in its key growth market (Continental Europe) increase the hurdles before the management in its quest for a revenue growth revival. While a weaker rupee can help Infosys price its services competitively in order to win back market share, the continuation of senior management exits could blunt the effectiveness of these measures.
Reiterating positive view on the sector: We maintain our positive view on the sector given (i) an economic recovery in the US, (ii) a rebound in demand from the financial services vertical, (iii) continued strength in demand for outsourcing from Europe, (iv) a pick-up in discretionary spending and (v) a weaker-than-expected rupee.
Valuing IT service stocks as before: We continue to value the stocks at 12-20x one-year forward earnings (relative to their historical trading range and compared with peers as well as growth rates) and will revisit our earnings estimates and target PE (price-to-earnings) multiples once there is more clarity on the nature and size of IT budgets and the sustainability of the demand pick-up. The key sector risks relate to cross-currency headwinds.

text: The ongoing saga. I rechecked with Bontrager and they flatly state that the front and rears are the same length -263mm, non-disc side and 261mm, disc side- yet I absolutely, dead certain measure a front at 292mm plus or minus. So, either my ruler is nuts or Bontrager is. I clarified with them that I have a 700c wheel. So... do I believe them and order 261mm and 262mm or do I believe my ruler and my eyes and order 292's? This is pretty insane

Monday, July 7, 2008 - The largest U.S. airlines rate of on-time flights this past May was higher than in both the same month last year and April 2008, according to the Air Travel Consumer Report released today by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). The rates of flight cancellations and mishandled baggage also declined compared to the same periods, according to the report.
According to information filed with the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), a part of DOTs Research and Innovative Technology Administration (RITA), the 19 carriers reporting on-time performance recorded an overall on-time arrival rate of 79.0 percent in May, higher than both May 2007s 77.9 percent and April 2008s 77.7 percent.
The monthly report also includes data on the causes of flight delays and consumer service, disability and discrimination complaints received by DOTs Aviation Consumer Protection Division. This report also includes reports required to be filed by U.S. carriers of incidents involving pets traveling by air.
The consumer report includes BTS data on the number of domestic flights canceled by the reporting carriers. In May, the carriers canceled 1.0 percent of their scheduled domestic flights, lower than both the rates of 1.1 percent in May 2007 and 1.7 percent in April 2008.
In May, the carriers filing on-time performance data reported that 7.73 percent of their flights were delayed by aviation system delays, compared to 7.70 percent in April; 6.39 percent by late-arriving aircraft, compared to 6.51 percent in April; 5.12 percent by factors within the airlines control, such as maintenance or crew problems, compared to 5.63 percent in April; 0.53 percent by extreme weather, compared to 0.55 percent in April; and 0.04 percent for security reasons, the same percentage as April. Weather is a factor in both the extreme-weather category and the aviation-system category. This includes delays due to the re-routing of flights by DOTs Federal Aviation Administration in consultation with the carriers involved. Weather is also a factor in delays attributed to late-arriving aircraft, although airlines do not report specific causes in that category.
Data collected by BTS also show the percentage of late flights delayed by weather, including those reported in either the category of extreme weather or included in National Aviation System delays. In May, 44.05 percent of late flights were delayed by weather, up 12.54 percent from May 2007, when 39.14 percent of late flights were delayed by weather, and up 16.26 percent from April when 37.89 percent of late flights were delayed by weather.
Detailed information on flight delays and their causes is available on the BTS site on the World Wide Web at http://www.bts.gov.
The U.S. carriers reporting flight delays and mishandled baggage data posted a mishandled baggage rate of 4.59 reports per 1,000 passengers in May, an improvement over both May 2007s rate of 5.94 and April 2008s 4.99 rate.
In May, carriers reported six incidents involving pets while traveling by air, up from three incidents in April. The May incidents involved four deaths and two injuries.
In May, the department received 885 complaints about airline service from consumers, down 4.8 percent from the 930 complaints filed in May 2007 and 20.5 percent fewer than the total of 1,113 received in April 2008.
The report also contains a tabulation of complaints filed with DOT in May against specific airlines regarding the treatment of passengers with disabilities. The Department received a total of 39 disability-related complaints in May, up 14.7 percent from the 34 filed in May 2007 and 8.3 percent more than the 36 complaints received in April 2008.
In May, the Department received 13 complaints alleging discrimination by airlines due to factors other than disability such as race, religion, national origin or sex up from both the five complaints received in May 2007 and the total of eight received in April 2008.
Consumers may file their complaints in writing with the Aviation Consumer Protection Division, U.S. Department of Transportation, C-75, W96-432, 1200 New Jersey Ave. SE, Washington, DC 20590; by voice mail at (202) 366-2220 or by TTY at (202) 366-0511; or on the web at http://airconsumer.ost.dot.gov.
Consumers who want on-time performance data for specific flights should call their airlines reservation number or their travel agent. This information is available on the computerized reservation systems used by these agents.
The Air Travel Consumer Report can be found on DOTs World Wide Web site at http://airconsumer.ost.dot.gov.It is available in "pdf" and Microsoft Word format.

I finished it on a southbound northern line train that was being held at Camden. The door frames were obscuring the right half of a poster (You can't talk [something] because [something]) but the words drawn in black marker in the yellow background were clearly visible : 'Because God forbids it'. It is moments like these that make me regret giving up camera phones.
Someone once said (I think it was Stephen King) that once you commit to creating as good a story as you can you become incapable of evil. I believe this, at least for Vernor Vinge, to be true.
I must say that I read A fire Upon The Deep first, and although they were written in that order A Deepness In The Sky takes place before the events in A Fire Upon The Deep. It's been described as 'hard' science fiction, the implication being that focus (you'll get the pun if you read it) is on technology and science, and even though flawlessly emulated interactions between brilliantly extrapolated technologies is abundant, there's at least the same amount of character development present with heavy humanist undertones (delivered via a society of huge spiders lol). Vinge's mind reaches out trough vast expanses of space and time as easily as it dives into the depths of sentient souls – and the gifts it brings are (surely) a match for any Qeng Ho mission bounty. Thank you.
P.S. I highly recommend reading 'A Fire…' first, the connection is subtle at best but it vastly enriches the experience.

I am back to using two phones, at least for now.
Ever since Jorge chewed on my HTC Desire Z's original battery, it lasts only 20 minutes at full charge. I have 2 replacement batteries which I ordered from Hong Kong, via eBay (actually I had 3, Jorge split one in half the very day it arrived in the mail) but each one lasts only about 4 hours given the amount of activity on my phone. That's one major disadvantage of using just one device for cellphone calls, mobile landline calls, and data.
With a great amount of hesitation, I'm ditching my almost-perfect Desire Z until HTC comes up with better battery life/energy consumption measures on their mobile phones (I was reading a review on the HTC Evo Shift 4g earlier today, same issues). Beginning today, my ol' reliable Palm Treo 680 will house my Globe SIM for cellphone and mobile landline calls while my ol' reliable BlackBerry 8520 will house my Smart SIM for data. This way my Smart line won't be as neglected as it's been ever since the Desire Z came along.

By Jarrett Potts, director of strategic marketing for STORServer
In 2012, we saw the rise of cloud and all things virtual and the fall of budgets. While the latter is of no surprise as all businesses, corporations, and individuals are tightening their belts just to survive, the first two have been brewing for some time and seem to have gained some serious traction in 2012.
In 2012, we saw everything from service desks to storage head to the cloud. The marketing people really did their jobs because the industry is abuzz with everything cloud. While the concept of the cloud is not really new, the concept that anyone can have a cloud is. In 2013, you will start to see some real adoption by the marketplace. By that I mean small to medium-sized customers (not just the big boys) will embrace it. The thing about cloud is that it has been hard for people and consumers to understand the concept of a cloud offering. That has changed as 2012 comes to a close. I have started to see cloud be offered as a pool of items where sales people say they can do it locally or in the cloud as if it were something tangible. Why will cloud gain traction in 2013? Simply put: simplicity. The easier to explain, use and manage, the more adoption you will see. With the advances that were made this year, 2013 should be a banner year for cloud offerings.

Potter's Pub to close its doors
Closing of East Meadow 'icon' shocks residents
1 2 Next page >
Potter's Pub, a staple of the East Meadow community since 1972, will shut it doors on Saturday. The announcement was posted on the restaurant's Facebook page on Monday night, stating that, "After 41 years of serving the East Meadow community we will be turning our lights off forever on Sat night."
Mike Amitrano, who has owned Potter's Pub since 1990, said that business took a hit when, following Hurricane Sandy, he put in a claim for a loss of food and equipment but was denied by his insurance company. After that, he said, he had a deal in place to sell the restaurant, which fell through. "And then it was just one thing after another," he said. "It was a very hard decision to make after 41 years of being open."
Amitrano said he remains hopeful that he will sell the restaurant soon to keep it from remaining closed for long. He went on to say that his health was a factor in his decision: He is a cancer survivor, though he said he is not in "immediate danger."
"I just want to thank the East Meadow community for 41 years of being able to serve them," he added.
The news shocked many in the community, and by Tuesday afternoon, more than 60 comments had streamed in on the eatery's Facebook page, as people expressed their disappointment with the news.
"It's an East Meadow institution," said Tom Gallagher, a past president of both the East Meadow Kiwanis and Chamber of Commerce, adding that he has frequented Potter's Pub since 1974. "I'm very saddened."
"I hate to lose another business on Hempstead Turnpike," said Dolores Rome, the Chamber's current president. "Everybody's going to be in shock."
Potter's Pub is not the only establishment to close recently in East Meadow. Zorn's Chicken, on Hempstead Turnpike, never reopened after Hurricane Sandy. Hooters, also on the turnpike, closed in October. And just two weeks ago, Pathmark, on Front Street, announced that it would shut down in May. "I think the bad economy has finally hit East Meadow," said Rome.
