The Ravens added yet another to the 2009 list of crushing last-minute defeats yesterday, as they fell to Indianapolis by two points despite being in field goal range with under three minutes to play. Joe Flacco's ill-advised toss right into the palms of Gary Brackett on what turned out to be the team's final offensive play sealed the deal, and let the horseshoes escape B'More with their perfect record intact, and their seventh straight over the purple and black.
The blowout that many of us expected (and most of us probably would have preferred) never materialized, as the Ravens never trailed by more than a touchdown for the entire afternoon. However, because of their failure to get into the end zone even ONCE, their 32-27 time of possession and 3-2 turnover (3-0 for the game's first 57 minutes) advantages were rendered moot. The Ravens' much maligned defense refused to be lit up by Manning like they had by Rivers, Favre, and Palmer, as they picked him off twice in the first half. They set up the offense at the Indy 29 and their own 48 on the strength of interceptions by Dawan Landry and Ed Reed, only to see Joe Flacco & Co. settle for Billy Cundiff field goals on both possessions. After Landry's, they managed a pathetic three yards before trotting out Cundiff to cut the score to 7-6.
Holding Peyton Manning to just 17 points is a commendable feat – it was the second-least points they have put up all year, and the fewest since Week 1.
This loss is squarely on the shoulders of Cam Cameron and the Ravens' offense. The O, which came out gangbusters to start the season, has been stuck in neutral since the furious rally in the second half of the Minnesota game. They have now scored just one offensive touchdown in their last TWELVE quarters of play. The chunks of yardage, big plays, and 30-point outputs that gave us visions of Testaverde-to-Jackson to start 2009 have suddenly turned into painful reminders of Tony Banks-to Travis Taylor(-to ground).
The offensive FAIL was never more pronounced than when, with 12 minutes left in the game, trailing 14-12, the Ravens were stopped on three consecutive plays from inside the Colts' 1-yard line.
Where was Le'Ron McClain?!
Your quarterback is 6'6″ and you need five inches…he almost got it on the first try, so why not sneak it two more times?!
Settling for a field goal there, as the CBS announcers were quick to point out, sealed the Ravens' fate.
When you can't punch it in from INCHES out, at home, in a pivotal game…you don't deserve to win, let alone call yourselves a playoff contender.
Pathetic. Just…pathetic.
Sure, the final drive was heart-wrenching, and the Ravens were in place to go ahead at or near the two-minute warning – but that game was lost with 10:53 on the clock, when Willis McGahee was stopped short for the second straight time.
It was a fitting sequence for an offense that has regressed greatly over the last several games. Joe Flacco, who started the season spreading the ball out admirably between all of his receivers, seems to have again fallen in love with Derrick Mason, only this time there is a lover's triangle that also includes Ray Rice. The stat sheet will tell you that eight different Ravens caught passes; however, a closer look reveals that 16 of Flacco's 23 completions went to Mason or Rice. There were three Colts' defenders around #27 on the game-ending interception…somebody else was open, Joe.
You can't fault Flacco for wanting to get the ball into the hands of Rice, who has quickly developed into a premiere playmaker, or of Mason, his security blanket. But a line has to be drawn at some point. Kelley Washington has proven himself to be a very capable target, and Mark Clayton seems to be catching everything thrown his way since his drop in Foxboro. Flacco seems to have become extremely risk-averse lately, and the throws into tight windows in the middle of the field that we saw early in the season, and which are crucial to his continued development, have all but disappeared. Whether it is a coach in his ear telling him to be more careful with the ball, or a doubting of his own abilities that has taken hold as a result of his earlier red zone interceptions, is up for debate.
What are not up for debate though, are these facts:
- Flacco threw the ball into the end zone just once all day against Indy, a ball that was nearly picked off.
- After throwing 11 touchdowns in 6 games, Flacco has now thrown just 1 in his last 4.
- Washington had 24 receptions in the season's first 8 games, and has 2 over the 3 games since.
At this point, Ray Rice basically IS the Ravens offense. A situation that is likely to present itself sooner rather than later is that a good defensive coordinator (ahem..Dick Lebeau, anybody?) will find a way to shut down Mighty Mouse and make Flacco use his other options. From what we've seen lately, it is tough to believe that Joe Cool still trusts his ability to go to those other guys consistently.
It's a problem. And Cam Cameron, after all the genius he displayed last season in making something out of not-much in B'More, is going to start finding himself under increasing scrutiny should this year's team fail to start putting up points again.
Other nit-picky items from the game:
- John Harbaugh showing us that he did, indeed, learn by watching Andy Reid in Philadelphia, as his atrocious clock management cost the team valuable seconds down the stretch in both halves. Everyone will point to the challenge-time out debacle in the second half, but there was more of the same in the first. Flacco completed a 19-yard pass to Mason to the IND 34 with 0:35 to play, and with plenty of time to run up and spike the ball, the Ravens instead burned their final timeout. Standard wisdom says to keep a timeout in your back pocket as long as possible in that situation.
- The defense played well overall, but Terrell Suggs' absence was glaring, as there was no pass rush to speak of. The Ravens never once sacked Manning, and hit him only a small handful of times.
- Ed Reed. Ed…Reed. Quite possibly my favorite Raven of all-time, but…man. You just CAN NOT do that. Lateraling the ball, while being dragged to the ground, to an unsuspecting teammate, with a last-gasp field goal attempt still in the cards…just…wow. Speechless. Also, whichever coach – Rosburg, Harbaugh, whoever – that decided to put him back there in that situation, knowing his history of ball "insecurity," should be b-slapped. Reed is best served trying to block the punt in that situation, not given the chance to pitch away any chance of victory.
I know I said that this time doesn't deserve to utter the "p" word. However, thanks to last minute choke-jobs by both the Steelers in Kansas City and the Bengals in Oakland, the AFC North looks exactly the way it did on Saturday. The Ravens blew a golden opportunity to gain some ground, but they did't lose anything in the standings either. Jacksonville currently holds the final playoff spot in the AFC but come on…does anybody really think they'll be able to hold onto it? They're awful.
Sunday Night's clash with Pittsburgh is just as meaningful as it would have been if both teams won yesterday. And the Steelers may be without Troy Polamalu AND Ben Roethlisberger – at the very least they will not be at full strength. Even though the sky seems to be falling, the truth is, it's still up there, albeit as gray and cloudly as one would expect in mid-November.

Apart from the domain name itself, our list contains a number of other information helping to discern the domain value. They are:
- Domain PageRank - rank attached by Google search engine to the site which existed on the domain before its deletion.
- Number of pages from given domain indexed by Google.
- Number of links to given domain indexed by Google.
- Alexa rank - domain position in the ranking of most popular Internet sites created by Alexa.com; higher position means more traffic to the site.
Domains with PageRank, pages or links indexed in search engines, or having visitors from other sources (indicated by Alexa rank), are valuable and worth buying. Our list allows finding such domains in a simple and effective way. Thanks to advanced search criteria, searching and filtering the list by various criteria is possible.
Domains which go to our list are being deleted because of not being renewed by their owners. Such domains are reserved for renewal by the owner (who could simply forget about his domain) for 15 days, and after that, they go back to the pool of free domains.

WSU Cross Country closes the gap; anticipates strong 2006 season
Jan. 10, 2006
THE 2005 SEASON: The WSU Cross Country teams began the 2005 season with several unknowns, especially on the men's side...many talented runners emerged from the pack over the course of the season...one of the Cougar female harriers, sophomore Haley Paul, solidified herself as one of, if not the best, female cross country athlete in Cougar history...redshirt freshman Woody Favinger, in his first year of competition, was the top scorer on the men's side in nearly every competition...battled closely by redshirt junior Ryan Friemuth and redshirt freshman Drew Polley...both teams made decent showings at the championship season meets, although there were some injuries on the women's side...third-year Head Coach Jason Drake is optimistic about the team and individual accomplishments, and excited about the 2006 season.
REBUILDING COMPLETE: The 2006 season has the potential to be an extremely strong one...all Cougar runners will return with the exception of senior Justin Ireland...two freshman, Drew Polley of the men's team and Marisa Sandoval of the women's team, broke out as scoring runners for the Cougs...sophomore Haley Paul still has two years of competition to build upon her 14th place finish at the NCAA Championships...Paul had the best-ever NCAA performance by any WSU woman in cross country...by the start of competition next year, the Cougars will have eight men and eight women on the team who have run in a Pre-National, Pac-10 and NCAA West Regional Championship race....Coach Drake says with this experience, as well as the return of Alex Grant and Andrew Jones (both redshirted 2005), both the men and women will be more competitive in the team standings at the championship races in 2006.

Meghan Leonard (RS-Fr., Newberg, Ore.) Number two runner for Cougar women behind sophomore Haley Paul...season highlights included finishing second at Idaho Jamboree, 11th at Sundodger Invitational and sixth at Montana Invitational...also 100th at Pre-Nationals, 41st at Pac-10 Championships and 35th at NCAA West Regional meet.
Casey Maus (Fr., Lakewood, Wash.) Competed in four races for WSU...finished 22nd at Idaho Jamboree, 119th at Sundodger Invite, 51st at Montana Invitational and 38th at Eastern Washington Invitational.

Lisa Waananen (RS-Fr., Maple Grove, Minn.) Did not compete for WSU in 2005.
DRAKE'S THOUGHTS ON THE COUGAR WOMEN: 'On the women's side I was very pleased with their season. Fifth place (at the Pac-10 Championships) was the same we finished last year, but the conference was stronger this year and more competitive. So we were pretty happy to get out of there with fifth place. Individually, Haley Paul was obviously the standout of the season, going to the NCAAs and being 14th and an All-American. We were really pleased with that, it kind of solidified her as being a big-time athlete. She has a couple more years, and this season will help her in track as she looks to go the NCAAs there as well. It will give her a little more confidence. Overall, we never really had a great day where we had five runners run well at once. That's got to happen, we have to get a little more depth in there or have five great performances in one day. Each athlete ran great at one point in the season, just not all together. I'm looking forward to having a strong group of seniors on the team in 2006 that I recruited and that have been in the program for a while.'
WSU MEN:The men's team season was highlighted by several standout performances at the Championship meets...Redshirt Junior Ryan Freimuth led the team to an eighth place team finish at the Pac-10 Championships...the WSU male harriers finished 11th at the NCAA West Regionals, led by Redshirt Freshman Drew Polley.
Sam Ahlbeck (Fr., Renton, Wash.) Emerged as a top 5-7 runner in first year of collegiate competition...best finish was 15th place at Idaho Jamboree...finished 46th at Sundodger Invite, 18th at Montana Invitational, 150th at Pre-Nationals, 74th at Pac-10s and 82nd at NCAA West Regional Meet.
Derry Betts (Fr., Edmonds, Wash.) Competed in four races for the Cougs...finished 10th at Idaho Jamboree, 69th at the Sundodger Invite, 16th at Montana Invitational, and 75th at Pac-10 Championships.
Evan Blanshan (So., Selah, Wash.) Did not compete for WSU in 2005.
Chris Concha (RS-So., Reno, Nev.) Best finish was 11th at Idaho Jamboree...finished 27th at the Sundodger Invite, 17th at Montana Invitational, 32nd at Pac-10 Championships and 63rd at NCAA West Regional meet.
Woody Favinger (RS-Fr., Bellingham, Wash.) Was men's front-runner and highest placer in nearly every meet this season... finished third at Idaho Jamboree, 14th at Sundodger Invite, best finish was second place at Montana Invitational...64th at Pre-Nationals, 21st at Pac-10 Championships, and 61st at NCAA West Regional meet.
Ryan Freimuth (RS-Jr., Wenatchee, Wash.) Was 38th at Sundodger Invite...finished fourth at Montana Invitational and 87th at Pre-Nationals...ran to team-best 16th place finish at Pac-10 meet in Tucson...placed 55th at NCAA West Regional Meet...named captain of the men's squad for 2006.
C.J. Godfrey (RS-Fr., Port Orchard, Wash.) Finished 24th at Montana Invitational...named to Pac-10 All-Academic Honorable Mention team.
Alex Grant (Jr., Bellingham, Wash.) Redshirt season...ran unattached at Idaho Jamboree, placing fifth.
Clay Hemlock (Sr., Ferndale, Wash.) Best finish in 2005 was 31st at Sundodger Invite.
Phil Hinrichs (RS-Fr., Pullman, Wash.) Did not compete for WSU in 2005.
Justin Ireland (Sr., Issaquah, Wash.) Was consistently among the top seven runners all year...best finish was 12th place at Idaho Jamboree...finished 45th at Sundodger Invite, 15th at Montana Invitational, 65th at Pac-10 Championships and 81st at NCAA West Regional meet.
Andrew Jones (Jr., Gillette, Wyo.) Redshirt season...won Idaho Invitational as an unattached competitor...placed 11th at both Sundodger and Montana Invitational, also running unattached.
Dan Lucero (Fr., Port Angeles, Wash.) Finished 67th at Sundodger Invite and was 25th at Montana Invitational...came in season-best 14th place at Eastern Washington Invitational...placed 76th at Pac-10 Championships.
Matt Miller (Fr., Kennewick, Wash.) Did not compete for WSU in 2005.
Drew Polley (RS-Fr., Port Orchard, Wash.) Was one of the top three scorers for WSU in every race in 2005...best finish was at Idaho Jamboree, where he placed fourth...finished 15th at Sundodger Invite and seventh at Montana Invitational...placed 86th at Pre-Nationals and 26th at Pac-10 Championships...led the team with a 48th place finish at NCAA West Regional meet.
Dominic Smargiassi (Fr., Auburn, Wash.) Redshirt season...finished 28th at Eastern Washington Invitational, running unattached.
Chris Williams (RS-So., Federal Way, Wash.). Best finish was sixth at Idaho Jamboree...placed 32nd at Sundodger Invite, 28th at Montana Invitational, 153rd at Pre-Nationals, 56th at Pac 10-Championships and 74th at NCAA West Regional meet.
DRAKE'S THOUGHTS ON THE COUGAR MEN:Head Coach Jason Drake emphasized the depth the team will have in 2006 as its strong point. 'One the men's side the Pac-10 Championships was kind of our focus this year, since it was a rebuilding season, considering the runners that we redshirted (Alex Grant and Andrew Jones). We didn't do as well as we would have liked, but we were really thrilled with our top four runners. Having Ryan Freimuth place 16th was phenomenal, and having Woody (Favinger) and Drew (Polley) place in the top thirty was great, and they each had a strong season. Chris Concha also had a great performance in 32nd. Throw in our recruits and our redshirts next year, and it looks like it will be a good season for the men's team.'
PAC-10 HONORS: Six women and five men on the WSU cross country teams were named to the 2005 Pacific-10 Conference Cross Country All-Academic teams.
Women's All-Academic Team
First team: Haley Paul, sophomore, Phoenix, Ariz., (3.89 GPA, undeclared).
Honorable mention: Collier Lawrence, sophomore, Reno, Nev., (3.03 GPA, undeclared), Meghan Leonard, redshirt freshman, Newberg, Ore. (3.34 GPA, undeclared), Kayle Peterson, junior, Port Orchard, Wash. (3.62 GPA, general studies), Kelly Ramirez, junior, Duvall, Wash. (3.51 GPA, biology), and Natalie Smith, junior, Bellingham, Wash. (3.72 GAP, psychology).
Men's All-Academic Team
First team: Ryan Freimuth (second consecutive selection), redshirt junior, Wenatchee, Wash. (3.88 GPA, accounting) and Drew Polley, freshman, Port Orchard, Wash. (3.88 GPA, undeclared).
Second team: Woody Favinger, redshirt freshman, Bellingham, Wash. (3.75 GPA, undeclared).
Honorable mention: C.J. Godfrey, redshirt freshman, Port Orchard, Wash. (3.71 GPA, undeclared) and Chris Williams, redshirt sophomore, Federal Way, Wash. (3.06 GPA, math).
WOMEN NEXT SEASON: The Cougars will have a strong core of senior leadership for the first time in Drake's coaching stint...overall team experience in the championship meets will greatly benefit the WSU harriers... junior to-be Haley Paul will be the team captain in 2006, as named by Head Coach Jason Drake... Drake says sophomore to-be Marisa Sandoval will be a great athlete, 'She got thrown in the fire pretty early as a freshman and just needs some time.' There will be a couple of recruits coming in on the women's team, and Drake anticipates they will add the depth the team needs. 'The recruits are ahead of a lot of our current athletes, as far as where they were as freshman, Drake said. 'For the women, it's still going be tough (in 2006) to be in the top five in the conference. Hopefully we close the gap a little bit on Oregon and Washington. For the first time I'll have some seniors on the women's team that I've recruited and that have been in the system. Stanford and Arizona State are always very, very good, but it would be great to make up ground on them as well.'
MEN NEXT SEASON: Drake looks forward to all the potential the men's squad will have in 2006. The team will welcome back redshirt seniors to-be Alex Grant and Andrew Jones as they return to competition...Woody Favinger and Drew Polley, two of the men's front-runners, still have three years of competition and look to improve on a strong 2005 season...senior to-be Ryan Friemuth is the team captain for 2006, as named by Head Coach Jason Drake. 'Our 2005 redshirts, Jones and Grant, should be especially helpful next year,' Drake said. 'A couple freshman that redshirted, as well as our recruits, will be good additions as well. We should be really strong, the best team we've had in a long time, with a lot of depth as well.'

Gloria Zigner, Douglas Rankin and Elizabeth Turk move in different worlds but have, in their own ways, made a mark on the Orange County arts scene.
Come September, all three will be recognized at the 13th annual O.C. Arts Awards in Costa Mesa as recipients of the Helena Modjeska Award, a lifetime achievement handed out by Santa Ana-based nonprofit Arts Orange County, the ceremony's host whose mission is to promote the arts countywide.
"It is our premier award," said Richard Stein, Arts O.C. executive director.
The ceremony will be at the Samueli Theatre on Sept. 18. The Modjeska Award recognizes an extraordinary contribution to arts and culture demonstrated during one's life by a leader, artist, educator or philanthropist, Stein said.
When she's isn't covering the O.C. cocktail circuit as the society columnist for Orange Coast magazine, Zigner, a Newport Beach resident, has served as the force behind the CHOC Follies.
Since 1997, this zany but annually changing series of musical comedy productions has been a communal effort, mostly put on by an all-volunteer cast of O.C. residents. They aren't afraid to dance, sing and don over-the-top costumes on stage, while pledging to raise at least $1,000 each for the Children's Hospital. Throughout the years, the Follies has raised more than $5 million for CHOC.
The 15th edition of CHOC Follies, dubbed "Christina and the Crystal Ball: A Cinderella Story for the Social Net set," just wrapped up a four-show run at Orange Coast College and is expected to net more than $500,000 for the hospital. It featured send-ups of celebrities such as Lady Gaga (played by Juliet Fischer-Schulein), Charlie Sheen (Steven Chavarria) and the Cuban-American rapper Pitbull (Shawn Hoctor).
Zigner came up with the idea while serving as director of the CHOC Foundation in the mid-1990s. The first CHOC Follies starred O.C. philanthropist Julianne Argyros, and the Follies director, music director, choreographer and costume designer have stuck by Zigner since.
"I am humbled by it — it's such an honor," Zigner said of this week's Modjeska Award announcement.
Rankin, president and chief operating officer of the Irvine Barclay Theatre, is marking the 25th anniversary of his association with the theater, which opened in 1990.
The Irvine Barclay now is an acclaimed regional venue that presents eclectic programming, which ranges from classical dance to modern dance to foul-mouthed improv puppet shows. On Wednesday night, the theater presented the West Coast premiere of a Blues Brothers revival show imported from Britain.
Rankin was recruited in 1986 to head up an effort to bring a performing arts venue to Irvine.
In an interview on Thursday, Rankin said he gave up the security of a long-term job in Illinois, where he had successfully led an effort to restore the historic Woodstock Opera House, to head west to sow cultural and artistic seeds in Irvine.
"Not a chance," Rankin said when asked about whether he had envisioned staying in O.C. for long. "I would have bet against it."
As to being named a recipient of the 2012 Modjeska, he said, "I wasn't expecting it."
Turk, a 2010 MacArthur Fellow whose main studio is in Santa Ana, is a multifaceted artist known for her intricately carved marble pieces, which are shaped like ribbons or resemble collars and vertebral cages.
Turk was unavailable for an interview Thursday.
Examples of her work can be viewed at her website and a video of the artist explaining her work can be seen on the MacArthur Foundation's site.
In other news, Stein said that Arts O.C. is still taking nominations for its 2012 Annual Achievement Awards.
Nominations can be made through May 1 for arts-related achievements accomplished between Jan. 1, 2011, and March 31, 2012, in three categories: Individual Artist (visual, performing, or literary artist); Arts Philanthropist; and Arts Organization.

From time to time, former NFL linebacker Brian Bosworth resurfaces. He became an actor once his playing days ended, appearing in only a smattering of roles since 2005's The Longest Yard.
He's now starring in the Revelation Road series, and he says the religious films made him once again a religious man. Previously, Bosworth had a feud with God.
"It's not that I didn't know God or didn't have a relationship or an understanding of God," Bosworth told FOX News. "I knew the Lord, I just hated him. There was a feud and a grudge match because I felt He broke a promise we had and broke my trust. I would choose to ignore Him. 'The Boz' was born, my pride became more than my agreement with God. That was me telling Him I didn't need Him anymore, and being boastful of all the gifts I had. You have to be humble and ask Him for courage and wisdom, but I put me first and God last. I allowed people to guide me and my arrogance. [I used] my ignorance to play through the pain and getting a call that my career was over started my feud with God."
At least Bosworth decided when launching a feud to punch up. Even if he was risking being permanently sent, well, down.
Meanwhile, Bosworth didn't exactly provide a ringing endorsement of his acting skills.
"I never wanted to be an actor," Bosworth said. "It was always my agent's dream. My dream was to play football and it's what God gave me the talents to do, but I screwed that up. I didn't know how to act really, and no one wants to do something they don't have a passion or training for. . . . 'Revelation Road' is my movie and the rest were 'Boz' movies. I have made some horrible movies and I don't know if I will do another movie, but I am so grateful that this one came."
It's unknown how grateful audiences have been for either installment of the Revelation Road series. But you've now at least heard of it, which is probably more than you could say before reading this.

This page will guide you through a typical, one size fits all, installation of MinGW. If you are new to MinGW, you may wish to refer to the MinGW page to learn which tools it installs (referred to as packages), and which tools perform which tasks. For more advanced installation instructions, refer to HOWTO Install the MinGW (GCC) Compiler Suite. There is also some introductory information for users who are new to MinGW.
MinGW Installation Notes
MinGW may have problems with paths containing spaces, and if not, usually other programs used with MinGW will experience problems with such paths. Thus, we strongly recommend that you do not install MinGW in any location with spaces in the path name reference; i.e. you should avoid installing into any subdirectory of "Program Files" or "My Documents", or the like.
No version numbering convention exists for MinGW as a whole. Each package has its own version number, and the installer version number does not necessarily reflect the version number of any individual package which it installs.
Graphical User Interface Installer
The GUI installer is a graphical user interface to the CLI mingw-get installer described below. To use it:
- Download and run mingw-get-inst.
- Select the directory to install MinGW, remembering the advice given above that the path to this directory should not contain any spaces.
- Select the optional components to be installed, including the C++, Fortran, Objective-C, and Ada compilers and MSYS.
The GUI installer will then download and run the mingw-get CLI installer to install GCC version 4.5. Note that make and gdb are installed automatically by the GUI installer. Before using MinGW, you should add C:\MinGW\bin; to the PATH environment variable using the instructions provided below.
The mingw-get-inst release notes contain more detailed information about the configuration and use of the mingw-get-inst installer.
Command Line Interface Installer
The recommended tool for automated installation is mingw-get; although currently designated 'alpha', this is already capable of installing GCC 4.5 and the basic (optional) MSYS shell environment recommended to support it. (Do note, however, that since it is still under development, we may ask you to manually perform some follow-up actions, which you might rightfully expect the installer to complete for you; eventually it will, but in the meantime, please bear with us).
Download the mingw-get installer and extract the files to the C:\MinGW directory using a program that can extract zip files. Recent versions of Windows may support this directly from the Windows Explorer; alternatively you may use a program such as 7-Zip.
Add C:\MinGW\bin; to the PATH environment variable by opening the System control panel, going to the Advanced tab, and clicking the Environment Variables button. If you currently have a Command Prompt window open, it will not recognize the change to the environment variables; you will need to open a new Command Prompt window to get the new PATH.
At the Command Prompt, type the command
mingw-get install gcc
to download and install the C compiler, and its requisite support packages; (mingwrt, w32api and binutils, for those interested).Additionally, you can specify any or all of the following additional packages:
- g++ (C++ compiler)
- fortran (Fortran 90/95 compiler)
- ada (Ada compiler)
- java (Java compiler)
- objc (Objective-C compiler)
- mingw32-make (GNU make)
- gdb (GNU debugger)
- msys-base (MSYS shell environment)
For example, the command
mingw-get install gcc g++ mingw32-make
will install the C compiler, C++ compiler, and make utility.You can install more additional packages at any time. For example, the command
mingw-get install fortran gdb
will add the Fortran 90/95 compiler and debugger to the existing installation.If you choose to also install 'msys-base', note that its default installation path is 'C:\MSYS\1.0', and the easiest way to start the shell is by running the msys.bat file found in that directory. You may also wish to run the command
within the MSYS shell, the first time you start it. (This is a temporary measure, to establish bindings between your MinGW and MSYS installations; it will become unnecessary, when a post-install scripting capability is added to mingw-get).
The mingw-get release notes contain more detailed information about the configuration and use of the mingw-get installer. GCC documentation, make documentation, and GDB documentation are available online.
Manual Installation
As an alternative to the automated installer, you may install MinGW by manually downloading and extracting individual components. Please refer to HOWTO Install the MinGW (GCC) Compiler Suite for information on manual installation.

On Tuesday, 12 August, I met in Tel Aviv with Avigdor Sharon and Lior Nachum, there to sip coffee and learn more about their winery. The wines they had brought with them were taken home and made part of my tastings yesterday and today. My thanks to both for coming to the city to meet with me and for their courtesies.
Founded by Avigdor Sharon and Lior Nachum on the settlement of Karnei Shomron, not far from Kfar Saba, in 2003, this small winery released its first wines from that harvest in 2005, and is currently producing about 8,000 bottles annually those primarily of oak-aged Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chardonnay. Grapes are sourced from the areas of Shomron and the Upper Galilee.
Gat Shomron, Syrah, 2005: Aged in French and American barriques for 14 months, ruby towards garnet, medium- to full-bodied with soft, well-integrated tannins and a gentle hand with the oak. Showing appealing berry, black cherry, raspberry and blackberry fruits, those with notes of tar and charcoal. Round and satisfying. Drink now-2010. NIS 100. Score 87. K (Tasted 13 Aug 2008)
Gat Shomron, Merlot, 2005: Super-dark garnet in color, full-bodied, with firm tannins, generous spicy wood and a whopping 15.8% alcohol content. Opens with a marked alcoholic nose but that yields to berry, black cherry and plum fruits, those on a light spicy background. With tannins and alcohol rising, finishes hot. Drink now. NIS 140. Score 83. K (Re-tasted 13 Aug 2008)
Gat Shomron, Cabernet Sauvignon, Galilee, 2006: Aged for one year in 300 liter oak casks, medium-bodied, with somewhat chunky, country-style tannins and opening to reveal berry, currant and black cherry fruits on a lightly spicy background. Drink now. NIS 90. Score 84. K (Re-tasted 13 Aug 2008)
Gat Shomron, Cabernet Sauvignon, Shomron, 2006 (Barrel Tasting): Deep garnet in color, full-bodied, with still firm tannins needing time to integrate. Opens in the glass to show plum, blackberry and blueberry notes, those complemented by hints of cedar wood and tobacco, all leading to a medium-long finish. Drink from release. Tentative Score 86-88. K (Tasted 13 Aug 2008)
Gat Shomron, Red Blend, 2007 (Advance Tasting): A pot-pourri of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Merlot and Petit Verdot, oak aged for six months. Medium-bodied, with chunky tannins that give the wine a somewhat country style but that pleasant enough with berry, cherry and currant notes making themselves felt nicely along with hints of Mediterranean herbs. Drink now-2009. Score 85. K (Tasted 13 Aug 2008)
Gat Shomron, Gewurztraminer, 2007: An experimental wine, not for release made by freezing the grapes in a commercial freezer and only then extracting the concentrated must. Generously sweet, with pineapple, litchi and citrus peel notes, but lacking the acidity that might have added liveliness. Score 82. K (Tasted 14 Aug 2008)
Gat Shomron, Cabernet Sauvignon Rose, 2007: Another experimental wine not for release and tasted in an unfined, unfiltered version. Pale pink towards peach yellow in color, with fine acidity and just a hint of tannins in the structure, opening to show appealing red currant, raspberry and what might best be thought of as a Bazooka bubble-gum note. Simple but fun, especially if served as well chilled as you would a Champagne. Score 83. K (Tasted 14 Aug 2008)

Reid All About It \ Standing as a winner after losing twice
So Warde swept all three events against Ludlowe on Tuesday, winning in wrestling and both basketballs. The expectation here was for the Mustangs or Falcons to win two of the three, with an equal shot of it going either way. The records going in were close to identical.
This Warde triple wasn't accomplished through luck -- although some shots rimmed in, some shots rimmed out -- and claims of Warde wanting it more will be heard ... and ignored. But the winning basketball teams from Warde each must be praised for digging down when both hoops games were up for grabs late and finding the ingredients that sent both Falcons' teams home disappointed. Does that go to home-court advantage or character?
Speaking of character. The most noteworthy impression left from recent coverage of Warde and Ludlowe teams in the past week was the surprising display of composure and maturity by the Mustangs' most decorated track and cross country athlete, senior Cate Allen, at the Class L championship meet on Feb. 6 in New Haven. What she did revealed character, something rarely seen in adults.
Allen, who was sixth at the State Open in cross country last fall, had won four individual events in her first three seasons in indoor track and field. She was seeded first in the three distance events -- 1,000, 1,600 and 3,200 meters -- ran the metric mile and two-mile and won neither, finishing a close second in both despite turning in times that surpassed the previous meet records.
Some teenagers would have been devastated; most would have been discombobulated upon being interviewed by reporters so soon after the wounds were raw and without the luxury of decompressing their emotions at their own pace. Allen faced the music, answered the questions, did not put on a phoney smiley face like a beauty-pageant contestant and spoke about the races with candor, sophistication and objectivity. She could give A-Rod a lesson on interview conduct.
Allen lost to Wilbur Cross sophomore Danae Rivers by 1.88 seconds in the 1,600. She lost in the 3,200 to Mercy senior Kaleigh Roberts by 1.67 seconds after the bell to signal the final lap arrived following the 14th lap, not the 15th. Allen had the lead just before the real final lap but could not protect it in the second running of the last lap.
If that cannot beckon tears, what will?
She was no happy camper after each defeat, appearing bewildered over the 3,200's conclusion as were almost everyone who was following the race.
Allen essentially told the media that she believed she ran well, the winners ran better and then began focusing on the lessons from defeat she can apply to the State Open this Saturday in which she is seeded fourth in the 1,600 and fifth in the 3,200. Others in her place might have been still crying, still streaming out expletives or been curled up in a corner or chilling out in the far reaches of the bleachers.
Alllen behaved as though she knew there are good days, bad days and days in between. Timewise it was great day, placewise not so much four a four-time L champion.
"She rebounded almost immediately," Warde coach Shawn Sorbello said. "Little consolation could be extended to her. We told her to be proud of what she's accomplished."
Horsebleep happens in life. Some deal with it, others do not. Most toggle between. Sports is supposed to instill character and to develop life skills to contend with adversity. Allen has been a good student of cross country and track and, for the fall of her freshman and sophomore years, in soccer.
Back to Falcons vs. Mustangs.
Ludlowe entered at 22-2 against Warde in wrestling. Falcons coach Nick Garoffolo said the Mustangs (20-3) are too strong. Earlier in the season Warde coach Jason Shaughnessy said Ludlowe is an improving team. More improvement by the Falcons and they will give Warde a run for its money. Until then, Warde will continue to dominate this rivalry by having won all 10 matches between the schools.
Warde played its best basketball late in the third quarter and for almost all of the fourth quarter in the girls game, the first in the twinbill honoring the national Coaches vs. Cancer games to collect donations to help fight the disease. During the Mustangs' rally, they showed more tenacity and resiliency than the Falcons, who were hampered by the injury to their best player, Caroline Pangallo.
The boys game was proof that a game against a cross-town rival can bring out the best in a team. Warde didn't fall apart when Ludlowe rallied in the second half and made the key plays down the stretch to set up Brian Kerrigan's winning foul shot in the final 25 seconds of overtime.
Warde is 2-0 this season against Ludlowe, 0-13 against everyone else. The Falcons are 0-2 versus the Mustangs but 4-8 against teams not from Fairfield.

Betsy White-Dean has a new title and a new team. She has been named head coach at Texas A&M-Kingsville, her first head coaching job on the college level. White-Dean played two seasons for the Lipscomb Lady Bisons softball team after transferring from Gulf Coast Community College in Panama City, Florida. She started her coaching career on the high school level as a head coach in Alabama. Her first job on the college level was at Adelphi University where she coached pitchers and power hitting (she was second on the Lady Bisons in home runs in both of her seasons here). White-Dean then moved on to Seton Hall in 2012, serving as the pitching coach. White-Dean has been moving and making adjustments to a new school, a new team and a new home. She managed to spend some time this week with lipscombsports.com.
What years did you play softball at Lipscomb? Who were your coaches?
"I played in 2003 and 2004. My coaches were Andy Lane, J.J. Dillingham and Kristin Peck Ryman. Kristin was a graduate assistant. She was a year ahead of me on the team.
"I changed my degree while I was at Lipscomb. My graduation was in December of 2005. I majored in marketing."
Why did you decide to transfer to Lipscomb?
"I was being recruited by Tennessee, UCF and Furman and some other large schools. I was Church of Christ and I wanted an NCAA Division I Christian school. There was like one school - Lipscomb. Amy Becker recruited me.
"My freshman year we won the state tournament in Florida which is a big thing, but we lost the national championship to the team we beat for the state championship. My sophomore year we were second in the state and third in the nation."
You have paid your dues on the way to earning a head coaching job. What was it like to finally get the news this summer that you were going to be a head coach on the college level?
"I started coaching with Paige Smith at Adelphi, a school on Long Island. I also followed her to Seton Hall in the Big East.
"She trained me from day one to be a head coach. I worked on scholarship offers, budgets and played a big part in recruiting. I was able to get athletes from Texas to come to New Jersey which was a big deal.
"I have built up a lot of phenomenal contacts through the years. I was always being asked when I was going to become a head coach. I told them I might be a lifetime assistant because I loved being a pitching coach. But watching Beth Torina at LSU successfully be both a head coach and a pitching coach kind of motivated me.
"My husband wasn't happy living in the Northeast. He likes to be away from congestion. He wanted to live in an open area and you can't get more open than Texas. We live near Corpus Christi. We are 45 minutes from the Gulf of Mexico. It is beautiful down here.
"I came down here at the end of June and fell in love with it. Everyone was really nice and extremely accommodating. It is like you tell recruits, `If you go to a school and get that tingling feeling in your toes and fingers and an adrenalin type of rush then don't bother looking anywhere else'. That was the feeling I had when I went on my interview here."
What is your fondest athletic memory at Lipscomb?
"I spent the two years at Lipscomb injured. I was a pitcher-designated person. I injured my wrist my junior year trying to learn how to throw a rise ball. I have been a pitching coach for 10 years. I was not made to throw a rise ball. I was a drop ball, curve ball, change-up pitcher.
"My senior year I compressed three disks in my back. I was second in home runs, but I only had half as many at bats as the leading home run person.
"I have a couple of memories. I remember getting the game-winning hit against Auburn.
"I remember going into a game at first base against Alabama on its home field. I made a diving catch in foul territory for an out.
"The program had just joined Division I. We weren't able to participate in postseason play at that point. I love softball. I still wanted to play.
"Also academics were incredibly important to me. I got a top-notch education. I haven't completed my MBA. But I worked on it at Adelphi, one of the top programs in the nation. I had a 4.0 because of how Lipscomb prepared me."
Who had the biggest influence on you during your athletic career at Lipscomb? How?
"Kristin Peck Ryman. She was a phenomenal two-sport athlete. Sometimes it can be difficult to make the transition from player to G.A. like she did because you have to coach people you have been friends with. Kristin was always very professional.
"She was always level-headed and honest.
"She was always willing to put in extra work. There is no wonder why she is doing so well now as Lipscomb's softball coach.
"I see Kristin at the coaching convention each year. I also keep up with another teammate, Anna Cleland, on a regular basis. They are good people. They were always there for me.
"When you go through an injury there is more than just the pain of the injury to deal with. You have to be mentally tough to get through it. If you don't have the right support system there it can be a tough situation. It helps to have friends.
"I went to a couple of different churches in Nashville, but ended up at Paragon Mills Church of Christ. The people at that church were outstanding. I am still friends with quite a few of them on Facebook. I am from Troy, Alabama and it was like having family away from my family. They were very supportive."
What is your fondest non-athletic memory from your time at Lipscomb?
"I would say being at Lipscomb really taught me how to be a good person. You had to have a Bible-oriented class every day. I learned if I treated people right they were going to treat me right.
"I don't know that I can give one specific instance of a memory. I made a lot of good friends there and met a lot of good people. We were taught to have high ethical standards and to leave things better than we found them."
What is the most valuable thing you gained or learned from your time at Lipscomb?
"Making sure as a coach to be unbiased. Making sure you are doing the best you can to make your athletes the best people they can be. You teach them these are the standards and you are going to be held accountable.
"I always want to be transparent with them. Kristin was always real honest with me at Lipscomb.
"Making sure you treat people better than how they deserve to be treated is important. When people tear you down or don't celebrate your successes you have to take the higher road, treat them right and hope for the best.
Who was your favorite professor? Why?
"Randy Steger, a marketing teacher. He was a really great communicator. He could hold your attention really well. He was really knowledgeable in the field of marketing.
"He taught us attention to detail. Everything in our papers had to be perfect. In public speaking he would try to put us on the spot with improv-type situations and marketing a product without any preparation.
"I have no fear of speaking in front of people, regardless of the size of the crowd because of his class. He worked on our mannerisms. He stressed the importance that if you are in marketing and using your hands to promote a product that your hands need to be in good shape. I use that as a pitching coach in working with how the pitchers use their hands.
"He gave us a coin from a trip he made to Mexico. I still have it. I never had a teacher give us anything like that. It is a memory of the class.
"Dr.Axel Swang was a teacher I wanted to have, but he had retired. I heard so many stories about him. He is one teacher I wish that I had."
Where do you live now?
"We are already living in Kingsville."
Tell us about your family.
"I am married to Christopher Dean. We were married 10/13/13. I told him I wanted to get married on that date and that I needed a groom. That is when he proposed.
"Thirteen is my lucky number. It has always been my favorite number.
"I met him while I was still living on Long Island. I went to visit my best friend and he was there. We were watching a show. He had never seen it. He kept asking questions and interrupting. So I turn to this person I just met and ask him to please be quiet. Apparently, he liked that."

also, do you know if i can combine two different rams together? I have 4x3 ram(12gb) from g skill, if i bought an 8gb stick from g skill (all ripjaws) will it work and say 20gb?
Posted 14 April 2012 - 08:32 PM
Overclocking an FX-8150 requires a hefty amount of power. I'm not kidding when I say you can see 400 watts going to just the CPU. Depending on which Rosewill 600w PSU you have, you may be okay or you may be skirting danger when you overclock.

What is dual channel mode? [RAM]--->http://www.newegg.co...N82E16820231313
This is my PSU-->http://www.newegg.co...N82E16817182032, Is it enough or am i skirting danger?
400w is alot?
Edited by Pteroduck, 14 April 2012 - 08:39 PM.
Posted 14 April 2012 - 08:53 PM
Dual channel mode is enabled whenever you have the same amount of RAM in both channels (IE: four 4 GB sticks, or one 1 GB stick and one 2 GB stick in each channel (for a total of 6 GB)). If you mix densities it won't run dual channel. It's not a huge difference performance-wise, but I'd get a fourth 4 GB stick just to keep things consistent.
Tolerance is a sign of weakness.

oh ok so just keep it constant? 16gb and 20 gb, any noticable difference?
speaking of constant, how can i keep my cpu after i overclocked it running at OC speed constantly, meaning all 8 cores run OC speed, without any cores missing or dipping?

Here's how i like to explain dual channel memory to my friends: Imagine that instead of 4GB of ram you have 4 liters of water. Single channel mode means you have it in one 4L bottle while dual channel mode means you have it in 2 2L bottles. All these bottles have the same bottleneck size so when you want to get water out you will be able to do so faster through 2 bottlenecks (dual channel) rather than 1 (single channel) and same goes for getting water in. Basically you should have higher bandwidth but as I explained to you in another post (you sure started a lot of these in a lot of places ) DDR3 has quite the large bandwidth anyway and will never really be able to use all of it even in Single Channel mode. Someone correct me if I'm wrong

WAYNESBORO — Behind 13 hits and a solid outing from pitcher Zach Stultz, Waynesboro rolled to an 11-5 victory against Shippensburg in Franklin County American Legion League action on Wednesday at Indian Field.
Post 15 scored all 11 runs in the first three innings, providing Stultz with plenty of insurance early on.
Stultz made sure to keep the comfortable cushion intact, scattering five hits and striking out four in his complete-game effort.
After Shippensburg pushed across three runs in the top of the first, Waynesboro (14-3, 11-3 FCALL) responded with two in the home half before taking the lead for good in the second.
A two-run single by Brandon Yurek put Post 15 on the board in the first before base knocks from Seth Hoffman and Sawyer Duffey drew Waynesboro even in the second.
An RBI-single by Alex Cline granted Post 15 the lead moments later prior to Yurek sending another two-run hit to the outfield, extending the margin to 6-3.
The momentum carried into the third with Waynesboro scoring five times to officially seize control.
Hits from Hoffman, Duffey and Justin Freeman accounted for the inning's first run with Hoffman coming across on a fielder's choice, increasing the lead to 8-3.
After an overthrow allowed Freeman to score, RBI singles by Ben Weber and Tim Ingram capped Waynesboro's five-run frame.
Shippensburg managed one run in both the sixth and seventh, resulting in the 11-5 final.
Hoffman finished with three hits to pace Post 15 at the plate followed by two-hit performances from Duffey, Cline and Yurek.
Yurek also led the team with four RBI while Cline scored three times.
Waynesboro will return to action on Saturday at Fayetteville.

Three Decades of HIV/AIDS, Part Three
Ordinary people put together quilt patches, each the size of a coffin, forming the AIDS Memorial Quilt, which ultimately became the largest piece of art ever created. It was displayed in Washington in 1996 where its 40,000 panels covered the entire National Mall.
In the early nineties we, the positively charged, knew we were sailing a sinking ship. In all honesty we prepared to die and the media often referred to us as victims. I was labeled a "Casualty of War" in a San Jose Mercury News Magazine cover article because at the time survival really wasn't a viable option for HIVers.
Mass media, pop culture and we assumed that if science were to defeat HIV/AIDS, it would come too late for us. Our view of the future was the AIDS crisis would continue to gain momentum and notoriety. We felt confident the rapidly amplifying cry for cure, care and support services would become logarithmically louder and more persuasive. We imagined ignorance and stigma would be replaced by knowledge, reason and compassion. None of these things actually occurred.
In mid-1996 highly active anti-retroviral therapy (HAART) became available and dramatically decreased AIDS morbidity and mortality. This scientific breakthrough was a game-changer that changed not only the trajectory of the HIV/AIDS crisis, but also the perception of the illness. HIV/AIDS suddenly became "a chronic manageable condition." (I have blogged on this misnomer previously.) Mass media and pop culture enthusiastically spread the good news. Dr. David Ho, an AIDS researcher, was named Time Magazine's Man of the Year in 1997.
By 1998 AIDS deaths were cut in half.
Newsweek Magazine claimed we were "Taming the AIDS Virus."
Gay and HIV-positive characters in film and television were now applauded, not shunned, as demonstrated by Tom Hanks's Oscar win for his role in Philadelphia. Once ostracized by NBA players after he announced his HIV-positive status, Magic Johnson played in the NBA All-Stars game and the Olympics.
AIDS no longer appeared to be the threat it once was. The New York Times and Newsweek pondered the end of AIDS in cover stories.
The first large-scale AIDS vaccine trial was announced with considerable fanfare.
I was no longer depicted as a dying casualty of war in media releases.

"Dancing with the Stars" pro Maksim Chmerkovskiy -- who was with Melissa Gilbert when she hit her head on the show yesterday -- is strongly insinuating ... "Dancing" producers conspired to overstate the actress' injuries to drum up ratings.
"Dancing" host Tom Bergeron announced at the end of yesterday's show -- Melissa had injured herself during her and Maks' Paso Doble routine (below) ... and was rushed to a nearby hospital.
Melissa later announced on her Twitter she had sustained whiplash and a mild concussion during the performance -- but Maks tells us a different story ... insisting the actress just "bumped her head."
We asked if "Dancing" producers tend to play up celebrity injuries on the show for ratings -- and Maks responded ... they don't fake it ... but they "amplify it a little bit."

Silver Lake business woman Dana Hollister envisions turning the former Pilgrim Church on Griffith Park Boulevard into a posh, boutique hotel, with 26 guest rooms going for $265 (and up) a night; a pool, rooftop garden and places to eat and drink. "I want to do something that is conservative and appropriate," Hollister told The Eastsider in 2011 of her plans for the Romanesque-style church. But many neighbors living near the 83-year-old church see nothing conservative or appropriate about Hollister's plans. Instead, they are concerned that the former church will be turned into a noisy party palace whose patrons will worsen the already tight supply of street parking. Of particular concern are Hollister's plans to include four bar areas in the hotel, including a cabana bar next to the pool, a lounge in the former main hall of the church that will be open until 4 a.m. and the conversion of the church choir room into a cocktail bar.
"It goes without saying that such changes to the church would severely impact the quality of life for the residents around the church," says a petition being circulated by neighbors. On Wednesday night, the governing board of the Silver Lake Neighborhood Council will take up a motion opposing Hollister's plans.
Many neighbors have expressed support for the hotel portion of the project but worry about the crowds and cars that would be attracted to the bars and lounge as well as weddings, banquets and other events. The main lobby lounge, for example, has a capacity for more than 150 people and there will be room for another 100 guests on the roof top garden lounge, which would be open until midnight.
"Beautiful project," said one resident during a February meeting of the council's Urban Design & Preservation Advisory Committee. "My concern is roof top noise, traffic and hours of operation for the rooftop."
During a presentation before the committee, Hollister, who owns the nearby Cliff's Edge restaurant and 4100 bar, and her consultants tried to address neighborhood concerns. Nearby parking lots would be leased for the use of hotel guests and bar patrons, and the project would take steps to keep noise from bothering residents as well as hotel customers. "Music will not be played too loud, as it would disturb the guests' hotel experience," said Hollister, according to the minutes of the meeting.
But residents, who have collected about 200 signatures on their petition, have continued to put pressure on Hollister and neighborhood leaders to protect the surrounding community.
"We hope that the Silver Lake Neighborhood Council will be supportive of our efforts to makesure that any Conditional Use Permits or Zoning Changes will have the residents' best intersts in mind, " says the petition.
The Silver Lake Neighborhood Council is scheduled to meet on Wednesday, April 3 at 7 p.m. at Micheltorena School Auditorium,
1511 Micheltorena St. Click here for an agenda.

The surge of "unaccompanied children" from Central America is based on a realistic assessment of their chances of remaining in the United States. The records from ICE show that very few of the thousands who have crossed the border from October 1. 2013 to the end of April 2014 have been sent home.
In that period ICE took into custody 141,525 migrants who were caught by the Border Patrol and CBP port of entry inspectors. Of those, 33,959 were convicted criminals and 107,566 had no criminal convictions. The non-criminals turned over to ICE tracks with the number of OTM (other than Mexican) apprehended by the Border Patrol so far in FY 2014. By early June the number had reached 126,374 just in the Rio Grande Valley sector in south Texas. By 2013, fewer than 3,000 were deported.
The efforts to label these immigrants 'refugees' depends on the stories they have rehearsed. They cite poverty, unemployment, gang violence, but these problems are not new, but longstanding throughout Central America, and do not account for the tremendous surge in illegal immigration. Federal officials have noticed an increase in pregnant unaccompanied girls. Many illegal immigrants have said they traveled to American believing the Obama administration would never deport them if they made it across the Mexico-U.S. border.
The White House said on Monday that they intend to deport most of these unaccompanied minors, but once the immigrant has given a phone number of the 'cousin' or 'family member,' they are released and put on a bus. Agents are not allowed to check the phone numbers to see if they belong to an illegal or inquire as to who is at that location. The migrants are ordered to promise that they will return in 15 days for their hearing. Only 20 percent ever return. The rest have disappeared into the general population.
More than half of legal and illegal immigrant households from El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras are receiving one form or another of major public assistance.
Obama has asked for $3.8 billion to house, feed, clothe and care for almost 30,000 illegal aliens for a full year. According to Ernest Istook, we could fly all of them home for one half of one percent of the $3.8 billion that Obama proposes. Major savings. The official term in federal statute is "undocumented alien children." The combined airfare for 29,358 passengers would be $19.6 million from McAllen Texas to Guatemala City. There is no federal law that requires officials to drag their feet on deporting the thousands of adults newly arrived from Central America.
Secretary Jeh Johnson said on Meet the Press that the top priority is "doing right by the children." The law actually states the top priority is to safely repatriate those children to their country of origin.
The White House may "intend" to deport most of these unaccompanied minors, but it sounds like when the hearings are held, few of them will turn up, and it will be a matter of an inability to find them. All this secrecy is clearly hiding something. The only way to dissuade potential illegal immigrants is with
We don't know who has distributed these Obama shoes, but it's clearly meant as a reminder of ?

Beaver Lake
What to know
Beaver Lake, completed in 1966 and nestled high in the Ozark Mountains, is located in northwest Arkansas, the birthplace of the White River. The 28,370-acre lake is the first of the impoundments created in Arkansas and Missouri along the lengthy White River system. Taking advantage of the natural scenic beauty, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has constructed a variety of recreational facilities. Paved access roads wind through 12 developed parks. There are 2,008 acres of campgrounds and over 650 individual campsites. Visitors can enjoy such conveniences as electricity and fire-rings. Drinking water, showers and restrooms are nearby. Other facilities -- picnic sites, swimming beaches, hiking trails, boat launching ramps, sanitary dump stations, group picnic shelters and amphitheaters -- are also available in the parks. With 487 miles of shoreline highlighted by limestone bluffs, Beaver Lake offers a world of recreational opportunities. Marinas and outfitters are plentiful. Cabins, resorts and other lodging ring the lake, and campgrounds are also available in good number. Fishing: Beaver Lake offers smallmouth bass fishing, largemouth bass fishing, and striper bass fishing, not to mention plentiful supplies of crappie, bream, white bass, channel and spoonbill catfish. Beaver supports healthy populations for fall striped and hybrid striped bass. November serves up fast-paced action for both of these hard-hitting sportfish. The lake offers clear-water fishing at its north end and dingy water fishing in the tributaries flowing in from the south. When quick rises in its level move muddy water northward, the lake's midsection often produces outstanding shallow-water fishing. Beaver Lake has given up several 40-pound-plus state-record stripers. In spring, these huge fish may be scattered all over the lake, but there are some areas and methods you can count on. One prime hot spot encompasses the huge flats near where the White River and War Eagle join in the upper portion of Beaver. The main river channel averages around 60 to 65 feet deep through this area, but is surrounded by flats that average from 10 to 30 feet in depth. Beaver's spring stripers always can be found somewhere in this vicinity. Creek mouths are among the best striper and hybrid fishing areas on 28,000-acre Beaver Lake, especially in summer. Some worth checking out include War Eagle Creek, the White River, Ford's Creek, Cedar Creek and Rambo Creek. The hybrid daily limit is three on Beaver Lake. Three-fourths of Beaver Lake is in Benton County, the remainder in Carroll County.

Sometimes you have to look in the rearview mirror to figure out where to steer the car next.
That's what investors will do Wednesday when the Federal Reserve releases a summary of what its top officials discussed at their last big meeting in March. The Fed voted to scale back its bond-buying stimulus program, known as quantitative easing, for the third straight time to $55 billion a month.
The minutes of the meeting might offer further clues on what top Fed officials are thinking and what they plan next. For now the Fed appears to be on target to end its controversial stimulus program by late 2014.
One official who wasn't happy with the March decision was Minneapolis Fed President Narayana Kocherlakota, the lone dissenter. In a speech on Tuesday, he said the central bank is not doing enough to promote faster job creation and a quicker decline in the nation's unemployment rate.
Kocherlakota would prefer the Fed to maintain an easy-money policy until unemployment falls a lot further from its 6.7% perch. He also thinks the bank needs to push inflation up to 2% or more from its current level of about 1% annually.
Yet the rest of the Fed's policymaking arm seems determined to end the bank's stimulus so long as the economy doesn't experience any more major hiccups.
When the Fed actually raises the short-term fed funds rate – now effectively at zero – is another matter. Investors are convinced the first rate hike won't take place until the second half of 2015 at the earliest.
Fed officials have publicly encouraged that view and the summary of its latest meeting is unlikely to suggest otherwise.

The other day, my husband spotted another striking, first-time visitor to our house, a male white-crowned sparrow. One day in rain, the next in sunshine, he stuck to the grass to forage for fallen seed.
According to my slightly outdated North American birds guide, we're in His Majesty's winter range. Perhaps he has been dethroned and is migrating northward to a new seat of power. I wonder if he is related to the White King in my Alice novel. Look closely: This fancy little monarch even wears white eyeliner on his lower lids.
He must be French, or maybe Quebecois.

I found this video helpful, not being a physicist.
Views: 370
Thanks from a fellow non-physicist for sharing that! In particular, it discussed why a Higgs field was hypothesized at all.
I learned from this complementary video, as well:
("The Higgs Boson Explained" from PHD Comics; thanks to Loren Miller for sharing it here on A/N)
To anyone who knows: At 2:25 of the "Dummies" video, it shows Standard Model chart that is very different from the one in Wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Model That model seems to be rather complete without any "missing place" for the Higgs Boson. The one in the video has 8 extra grid spaces, seven of which seem to be taken by one particle, "gluon". WTF? I can't figure where the Higgs fits into the Standard Model ....
