Astros acquire Kevin Chapman
Kevin Chapman (24 years old, 6'4", 210lb) was the Royals' 4th Round pick in 2010, and has been a reliever his entire professional career. In 54 games he has thrown 80IP, striking out 110, and walking 36. He spent 2010 at High-A Wilmington, and 2011 between Wilmington and Double-A NW Arkansas.
While the Orlando Sentinel said his fastball hit 96 while at Florida, Chapman said this, about his pitches:
On a good day my fastball is at 92-94, slider 80-83, change-up 83-85. On an off day I really just focusing on getting ahead of the hitters and keeping the ball low in the strike zone.
He missed the entire 2008 season due to Tommy John surgery, but "is now considered one of the better relievers in his draft class."
Looking at his FanGraphs page, there are some major inconsistencies with his ERA/FIP:
2011 ERA: 4.84 (High-A)
2011 FIP: 1.14 (High-A)
2011 ERA: 4.99 (Double-A)
2011 FIP: 4.06 (Double-A)
He has posted BABIPs of .339, .451, and .337 on his pro lines, so don't freak out when you see his ERA.
8 comments:
Do unlucky runs count on the scoreboard?
BABIP is one of the most useless of tools. Guys that are easy to square up have higher BABIP, guys that induce weak contact have a lower BABIP. That is a pitching skill by the way. That there is some imaginary mean for BABIP is pure folly.
Not to say this guy won't be good, or that his ERA in the minors means all that much, just wanted to attack one of the most misused and useless metrics in baseball.
Sorry to be a jerk, as I love this site, but BABIP drives me nuts.

Roy Halladay career babip-.292
Gil Meche career babip-.291
Felix Hernandez career babip-.297
Mike Maroth career babip-.303
C.C Sabathia career babip-.291
Roy Oswalt career babip-.296

Most pitchers are going to fit into a range. There will always be outliers, but you get what I'm saying.
- March 21, 2012 at 1:00 AM
So, you are saying that to last in MLB, you have to have a pitching skill that prevents getting squared up all the time? I get that. Those that do get squared up all the time have higher BABIP, either don't progress up the ladder, or don't last.
Have you ever seeen a pitcher get shelled, or a pitcher on his game inducing weak contact? In the BABIP world, one is unlucky and one is lucky. Why one would overlook obvious explanations to explain the phenomenon, and instead resort to a poorly conceived overlay is beyond me.
Ironically, it is basically anti-science coming from the "science-oriented" folks in baseball. An intellectually dishonest theory that doesn't even begin to explain the phenomenon.
- March 21, 2012 at 8:49 AM
Just because you don't understand DIPS theory, doesn't mean you should call it anti-science and useless. BABIP is an extremely useful tool if you understand it and use it the way it's supposed to be used.
There is a BABIP mean and to claim there isn't is extremely ignorant. Last year it was .291 and a great pitcher is just as likely to be above it as below it. One guy with exactly a .291 BABIP last year was Cliff Lee. Another was Fausto Carmona. Are you telling me that batters square up Lee as well as they do Carmona? Lee has no substantial skill to make hitters miss more than Carmona? That's foolish. Last yar Guillermo Moscoso led all pitchers in MLB with at least 100 innings in BABIP. Are you telling me Mr Moscoso is the best pitcher in the majors at inducing weak contact?
You're just mad because the numbers are telling you something you don't want to believe. Go read a book.
- March 21, 2012 at 10:28 AM
First off, why would one exclude home runs. One would only exclude home runs if one was interested in culling data to support a pre-determined theory. It's like this: one observer gets a notion that some pitchers (or hitters) are luckier than others, then they run off seeking data to support that notion, and a theory is born. If you don't know, that is not how science works. I think I even read that in a book once.
As to your examples, I have no first hand observation of their pitching to comment on their ability, but why would I want to analyze some subset of outcomes to determine how batters fair against them.
As to your point about what numbers I want to believe, I'n not sure what you are talking about. All I assume is when I see a guy with a plus 400 BABIP, I assume he was getting tagged and not demonstrating much pitching skill. You assume he was merely unlucky, like it was entirely outside of his control.
You should read less books, observe more athletics, or maybe pitch to some batters so that you can realize you do have control over much of your pitching fate. Far more than BABIP fools can apparently admit.
- March 21, 2012 at 11:13 AM
I am going to attempt to be mature and polite here (it is a struggle for me). But it is obvious from what you are saying, that you have not attempted to study DIPS theory, and that you do not understand what it is, or what it is meant to tell us. If you had, your questions would be answered, and you would not talk the way you do. There are people and resources much better suited to explain it you than I am, but I'm going to give it an honest attempt.
First BABIP does not equal luck. BABIP=Fielder Ability+Fielder Inability+Fielder Positioning+Ballpark Factors+Statistical Probability and Variance (Luck if you prefer). Major League BABIP means have very little to do with minor league performance, and almost nothing at all in common with A level baseball. When you see that 45% of Mr Chapman's balls in play turned into hits that tells you nothing about his ability. It gives you no idea of how he will perform in the future. It tells you that he had terrible defense behind him. He had highly improbably outcomes (or was definitely unlucky.) In the future you would expect more of his balls in play to turn into outs, and that he would allow fewer runs. Especially in MLB. In the minor leagues Jordan Lyles had BABIP's of (.278,.342,.327,.328, and .397). Last year in 100 MLB innings it was .307.
How can I say with confidence that BABIP is not a skill? Because smarter men than I have studied thousands of pitchers, over hundreds of thousands of innings, and determined that pitchers can not control whether balls in play turn into outs or not. I know you disagree with that statement. If you disagree with that statement scientifically prove it through it through a number, don't tell me about hard hit balls and weak contact.
In the decade of the aught's (2000-09) MLB BABIP was .294. The top ten pitchers of that decade had BABIP's of .298,.293,.297,.279,.304,.289,.304,.311,.299,.275. That is an average BABIP of .295. If BABIP was a skill the best pitchers of the decade would be much better than statistically average. Randy Johnson, Roy Halladay, Javier Vazques, Pedro Martinez, Curt Schilling, CC Sabathia, Roy Oswalt, Andy Pettitte, and John Sanatana are great pitchers. We can look at their K%, their LD%, and SwST% and tell that they are hard to hit. It is difficult to "square them up." Yet they are statistically indifferent from thousands of other pitchers who pitched in the same environment. BABIP is not a skill.
- March 21, 2012 at 12:00 PM
I never said BABIP is a skill; I said inducing weak contact is a skill, and it is. A pitcher geting hit hard, will yield a higher BABIP than one inducing soft contact. This is apparent to any honest observer. Only those with multiple statistical veils over their eyes have difficulty recognizing this phenomenon.
A thought experiment: just put 100 pitchers out there, ranging from a little league slacker to Halladay. Let them have a 1,000 balls hit of them by major league hitters with the same fielders, in the same feilding position, in the same ballpark, etc.. Let's perform this experiment 1,000 times. Now the kicker: We'll actually put our money based on our theories. I get to bet on Halladay 1,000 times and you get to bet on the little league scrub. Just to overcome your possible concern about falling on the wrong side of randomness, I'll put in $10 to your $9.
If you are true to your belief, you will have no problem with this bet, as you assume it will be a push with each of us winning roughly half, and you will come out ahead due to my proportional gift.
To one of your other points: it is not surprising that if you cull out all the bad pitchers on earth, and select only the best, their abilities (as described by a ridiculous stat) will appear to cluster around some mean. I also realize their is an element of variability/randomness from year to year, and this population will move around within a range fitting their great skill relative to the rest of pitchers on earth, but that hardly leads toa conclusion/theory that pitchers have no control over how hard a ball will be hit, and thus the likelihood of it being and out.
- March 22, 2012 at 9:41 AM
I think that the error is in only looking at BAPIP. A high BAPIP could be the result of ridiculously bad fielding behind the pitcher, or could be the result of the pitcher not inducing weak contact. BAPIP is just one tool in the overall construction of a player profile. It is not, and should not ever be touted as a stand alone predictor.

Deputy saves jet skiers seconds before cruise ship hits them
A Brevard County sheriff's deputy rescued two jet skiers Saturday after a cruise ship came within feet of them in Port Canaveral.
The Brevard County Sheriff's Office said Deputy Tanner Primmer was providing a security escort for the Carnival Magic when two young women were flipped off a nearby jet ski.
Wind pushed both women into the channel of the port, into the direct path of the cruise ship.
A Canaveral Pilots Association statement said Capt. Doug Brown spotted them while navigating the Carnival Magic out of the port and alerted Primmer. As he approached in a marine patrol boat, one woman fell off the jet ski. It flipped as she tried to get back on, sending both women into the water.
Trimmer steered his boat to the women and got them out of the water, as the ship narrowly avoided hitting them.
A cruise ship passenger captured the rescue on video.
Deputies said the winds and current could have pushed the women underneath the ship, making the outcome much different.
"I could not be more proud of the actions of Deputy Tanner Primmer, a member of our SeaPort Security Marine Unit who placed his life in peril without hesitation to rescue the Port visitors, and the Port Canaveral Harbor Pilot Capt. Doug Brown who not only maintained communication with Deputy Primmer, but was able to safely veer the ship, which provided Deputy Primmer the extra seconds needed to save the young girls," Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey said.

This is what my "Barn Find" motor looked like after 28 years in storage (well, it was really in a garage next to the house) - but you get the point.
I knew a guy who found a '69 Z/28 in the late '70s. It was advertised in the paper as a 1969 Chevrolet 2-door sedan. An old woman was selling it. Her son had been killed in Vietnam and it had sat in an old carshed for years. He answered the ad and she led him out behind her house and opened the doors and there sat a 1969 Z/28 with 32,000 miles on it--completely original. Dark red with black stripes and cowl hood. He gave her $1200 for it, got it running, and drove it away. But the story didn't end happily. One night he was winding the 302 out and lost control and wrapped the thing around a telephone pole at over 100 mph. He survived but the car was completely destroyed. What a shame.
Did anyone notice at the end of the auction there were 40 bids @ 50,300.00 and at the last 5 seconds or so it dropped to 39 biddersand 50,200.00. By the way the radiator appears to be for an automatic. I looked at both a manual and an auto, there should not be a circle near the cap.

As I was pin basting it, I stabbed my thumb with one of the safety pins, not realizing that I had drawn blood until I saw a spot of red on one of the white strips of the quilt. Naturally, I said something unrepeatable and Harper wanted to know what had happened. I showed her my thumb and pointed to the blood spot on the quilt, and in typical Harper fashion, she raised her arms as if in victory and said, "You got BLOOD? On my SHARK QUILT? That is SO AWESOME!"
So I've decided to let the blood smear that I got on it when I let the sewing machine needle gouge another finger while I was quilting it be a surprise. 'Cause you know me. I'm a giver.

FYI: If you get blood on fabric, all you need to do is use your own spit and it will completely take the blood out. Sounds gross, but it works! (Longarmers rely on it, as strangers prefer to NOT have blood on theirs! hehe)

I have heard that solution before, and this would have been a good opportunity to try it, but Harper was genuinely pleased at having blood on her quilt. WHo am I to deny her?

Is this the same quilt you were saying was going so badly? It's looking pretty awesome to me!

My grandmother and great aunt were dressmakers to the rich and famous in New Orleans from the turn of the century to the mid-50's. Many of the ball gowns for the Rex and Comus Krewes were made in my grandmother's house, with my mother doing the grunt work sewing.
My grandmother always said: If you get blood on something you are making for someone else, that means they will love and cherish it.

Welcome to 2013, Bobcat Nation! On behalf of the university, I hope all students, new and returning, enjoyed the winter holiday.
As we ring in the new year with the spring semester, now is the best time to thaw that lackadaisical frame of mind we've embraced over the break and set our eyes on the future.
In addition to the resolutions you may have set for yourself this year, here are five more every Texas State student should consider:

Love and Theft, 'Love and Theft' – Album Review
For Love and Theft, it's addition by subtraction. The loss of a record label and a band member resulted in a project that is tighter and more accessible than anything on the group's 2009 debut album. The best songs on 'Love and Theft' are those that tell simple stories and those that rely on simple melodies. That's most of the album.
Heavy ballads like 'Thinking of You and Me' and 'She's Amazing' feel like syrup on a summer salad. Aside from those two, the self-titled project is as easy to listen to as a baby laughing. The nine remaining cuts borrow from rock, R&B and pop music (especially pop music), but the story telling is pure country.
"No it don't matter where we go / Just as long as I can hold you close / Kiss your lips / Get you thinking about maybe turning those blue jeans inside out," Stephen Barker Liles and Eric Gunderson sing on the sneaky 'Inside Out,' track No. 2, following the current single 'Angel Eyes.' Liles wrote the song with Rodney Clawson and Chris Tompkins. 'Love and Theft' the album is overflowing with professional songwriters like Neil Thrasher, Rivers Rutherford and the under-discussed Natalie Hemby.
At times, Love and Theft become country music's Bruno Mars. 'Runnin' Out of Air' is so infectious that Pfizer may need to invent a vaccine. 'Real Good Sign' is also unapologetically pop, but it's too good for all but the stodgiest of country fans to enjoy. And let's be honest, those curmudgeons haven't gotten this far in the review.
Two other songs that deserve mention are naughty-but-so-nice love song 'Amen' (available for listen here) and the more humbling 'Town Drunk.' Both songs grab your attention after just one listen. After a second spin, you'll find yourself grabbing someone to share the story with.
"So why don't we give that sweet red dress you wear so well the day off / Can I get an Amen / Every once in awhile / Every now and then / Can I get an Amen," the men sing on 'Amen.' That's the second great pick-up line in four songs — hopefully someone is taking notes.
Credit RCA for signing a group that wasn't exactly setting the world on fire as a trio with Lyric Street Records. 'Love and Theft' is one of the more pleasant surprises of 2012.

Dow 14000 More Than Just Nice Round Number
As the Dow repeatedly bumped against 14000 Friday, a look back in time suggested the level is more than just a nice round number. The average's past behavior when it touched 14000 suggests it is also a notable resistance area.
It might seem uncanny that, after a steady climb in the best January percentage performance in 16 years, the Dow paused just shy of 14000. The Dow topped out at an intraday high of 13969.99 on Tuesday–the highest level seen since Oct. 17, 2007–and at 13966.13 on Wednesday.
On Friday, after an encouraging January employment report–and better-than-expected data on consumer sentiment, manufacturing activity and construction spending–the Dow traded above 14000 for the first time since Oct. 17, 2007, and waffled around that level for most of the morning.
The Dow was up 135 at 13995 in midday trading, just off its high of 14004.38.

If "most Protestants reject prayers for the dead, as they reject Purgatory. Instead, they argue wrongly that God does not see sin or hold it against the sinner", do they also believe that everyone gets the same reward in heaven?
|Answer by Fr. John Echert on 12/11/2012:
Good question. I do not know and remember that there are hundreds of non-Catholic
views on theological matters, which itself argues against Protestantism. Sadly, even
many Catholics are not aware that there are degrees of happiness in Heaven--based on
degree of charity, and degrees of misery in Hell--based on wickedness. Father Echert

My Godmother was my favorite aunt. Cecilia Laska was born November 18, 1912 in Detroit, Michigan. She always went by, "Ceily", so to me she was "Auntie Ceily". She was closest in age to my dad and was the 4th child, 2nd daughter, of the 11 children of Jozef Laska and Karolina Lipa.
Ceily was a diamond among stones. She was the cultured one in the family and had refined tastes. She was the one who appreciated fine art (and had reproductions hanging in her home), music (the only one in the family to own a musical instrument), shopped at better stores and wore the nicest clothes money could buy. She even had a signature fragrance, Chanel No. 5. Whenever I smell that scent I always think of her.
As a child I was fascinated by Auntie Ceily. I idolized her like a Hollywood movie star. I thought I was the luckiest kid on earth to have her for my Godmother. She was very good to me in the material sense but more importantly she was always kind to me. She made a point of talking to me even when there were other adults around. And she never missed an occasion to give me a gift… birthdays, Christmas, Easter, First Holy Communion, graduation. She always remembered me and I adored her. Sadly, Auntie Ceily died of lung cancer in 1989 but she will live in my heart forever.
Today, November 22, is the Feastday of St Cecilia. I've no doubt that my Auntie Ceily was named for St Cecilia. It was common for Poles and Americans of Polish descent to name their children after the saint whose feastday was closest to the day of their birth. It's interesting that my Auntie Ceily and St Cecilia had some things in common too.
It is believed that St Cecilia was born in the 2nd or 3rd century AD in Rome although the exact dates of her birth and martyrdom are unknown. It's said she was an only child born to wealthy, Christian, educated parents but promised in marriage to a pagan Roman, Valerian, when she was just a young child. Reports of her life differ from one source to another but most agree she was cultured and came from a privileged background.
A story is told of how Cecilia prayed to God and the saints to protect her virginity and after her wedding to Valerian she told him she was protected by the angels and saints. He then asked her to show him the angel protecting her. She sent him to Pope Urban (223-230) who baptized/converted him and when he returned he found Cecilia praying in a chapel and an angel with flaming wings nearby. Valerian and Cecilia were discovered in that chapel by Valerian's brother and he was so awed by what he saw that he too converted.
Some time after that, Valerian and his brother were put to death by the Roman prefect. Then, Cecilia too was ordered to be put to death but not before she made arrangements to have her home converted into a church. As the story goes, Cecilia was first sentenced to death by steaming but she survived that. Then she was sentenced to die of beheading. Three attempts were made to behead her before her executioner gave up and fled in fear. It is said that she lingered for three days, baptizing many during that time, until she bled to death.
At some point, (some sources say when she was about to be married others say when she was on her deathbed) Cecilia "sang or heard heavenly music in her heart". That image caught on and she was forever more known as the patron saint of music, especially church music, and musical instruments. In paintings and art work she is most often portrayed with an organ or violin.
My Auntie Ceily was no St Cecilia but I find it intriguing that she was the only one in her poor immigrant family who lived a cultured life, like the saint she was named for. And the man she married, I wouldn't go so far as to call him a pagan but he wasn't Catholic and she married him in a civil ceremony much to the chagrin of her parents who were devout Catholics. I'm not sure if he converted to Catholicism later in life or not but after 20 years together their marriage was finally blessed in a Catholic church. And lastly, Ceily owned first a piano and later an organ. She was the only one in the family to do so. I don't recall her ever playing either the piano or the organ but I remember plunking away on those ivory keys when we visited her home.
Many blessings to you on St Cecilia Day!

CW3 Carl Miller, B. Company, 1st Battalion, 13th Aviation Battalion, shows off the RQ-11B Raven to students at FRES as part of STEM Fest April 25. (Photo by Sara E. Martin)
Published: May 2, 2014
FORT RUCKER, Ala. (May 2, 2014) -- Fort Rucker Elementary School is an institute that challenges the students to not only think outside the box, but also how to carry what they learn every day into the future.
As a Science, Technology, Engineering and Math school, FRES takes pride in charging into conducting experiments, finding innovative ways to educate its students and encouraging the children to be inventors, engineers and scientists, said FRES principal Vicki Gilmer.
"The students have been working on the engineering design process and have really enjoyed the hands-on approach to learning," she said. "So, to celebrate all their hard work, we held STEM Fest. Today is a celebration of all the thinking skills they developed this year."
STEM Fest was held April 25 at the school where students were divided into six groups that rotated around six different learning stations. The learning stations included the invention convention, where a power truck from Pea River Electric Cooperative was on hand; a Zumba class station; a Google Doodle station; a hands-on station that included different activities, such as team cup stacking and building a zip line; a power safety class; and a star lab station.
But before the students began their trip across the school, Capt. Adam Samiof and CW3 Carl Miller, 1st Battalion, 13th Aviation Battalion, gave a demonstration of the RQ-11B Raven unmanned aircraft system.
"We came to talk about the Raven at the school because all unmanned aircraft systems envelope all STEM subjects. We want to show them that if STEM subjects interest them, then one day they can maybe work with UAS," said Samiof. "We talked about futuristic avionics and what future airplanes might look like. They might not realize that they themselves might be the developers of new technology for helicopters, airplanes and UAS."
Miller believes that children have many ideas that are amazing to consider as an adult.
"Their minds work much differently than when we were growing up," he said. "It is a lot easier for them to think outside the box, because for them, they don't even know what the box is!"
Haylie Rankin said that her favorite subject is art, but that she appreciated science because it helps create new ways for her to express herself.
"I love art because I can show my emotions on a piece of paper. Art is amazing, but I have to have tools to paint and draw with," she said. "I can't make art without brushes and paint and crayons, and someone used science to make the things I need to make art."
STEM Fest was the culminating event after a long week of field trips and guest speakers.
"We had representatives from Farley Nuclear Plant come and speak with the children, we visited U.S. Army Aeromedical Research Laboratory, we visited the Army Aviation Museum and did a scavenger hunt for inventions past and present, and we visited Lyster Army Health Clinic where we learned about medical inventions, tools and even diseases," said the principal.
The entire school also participated in an invention project for several weeks where students were given the task to solve a problem in their daily lives. All 417 inventions were on display during STEM Fest.
"We wanted them to think on what they could do to make their lives easier," said Gilmer. "The children's imaginations are so broad. Their inventions were amazing. We wanted to steer away from the science project this time and have them focus on a thinking project."
Some of the inventions were massaging backpacks, gloves that have hooks on them for maximum grocery carrying capacity, and water bottle identification caps.
This is the first time STEM Fest was held, but Gilmer has high hopes for the future.
"When the children see their inventions displayed and see how they can alter future technology, it gets them excited," she said. "When they see something they have learned in a book applied to something they can see and touch, it helps them make the connection. What they imagine today, might be something they patent in 10 years."

Incessant Questions
"Why are we even bothering to HAVE food, again?" she asked playfully. "Because your family and friends all eat," he reminded her patiently, "and so do you. And I want to make sure you keep your strength up," he finished, smirking.
1. Incessant Questions ~ A One-Shot
Rating 5/5 Word Count 548 Review this Chapter
Once again Edward must have been listening to Bella's worried mumbling about Jacob as she slept. "Edward, you've been asking me that almost every day," Bella replied, frustrated. "I'd feel a lot better if we could just not talk about it anymore." It wasn't as if she could help worrying. He'd disappeared without explanation a week ago. Billy had mentioned it to Charlie, unofficially, of course.
He nodded agreement, but his pained expression remained. Bella rolled her eyes. "What does Alice have in store for us today?" She found it easier to get her own mind off of Jacob than to distract Edward from him. And that was really saying something.
"She's already sent the invitations, because she foresaw that you wouldn't care what they looked like. I think this morning she was planning to ask you about food." Edward grimaced. Food was disgusting. For some reason, watching Bella eat, as he was doing this morning, didn't bother him. But the idea of having to smell food at his wedding wasn't a pleasant one. Maybe Alice would let them eat outside? He made a note to ask.
Bella narrowed her eyes at him over her cereal bowl. "Why are we even bothering to HAVE food, again?" she asked playfully, ignoring his grimace. She couldn't be sure, but she suspected he was still thinking about Jacob. Why couldn't he just let it go? She rinsed out her bowl quickly.
"Because your family and friends all eat," he reminded her patiently, "and so do you. And I want to make sure you keep your strength up," he finished, smirking. That expression only lasted an instant, though, before he was frowning thoughtfully again. "Bella, are you SURE?"
"Would you please stop asking?" she whispered. "I'm sure." She hated that her relationship with Jacob had caused Edward pain, and it bothered her that he thought about it so often.
She didn't talk much on the way to his house. She noticed him glancing at her every so often. Finally he asked the inevitable question, and she thought she detected a hint of worry in his tone. "What are you thinking about?"
"Appetizers," she answered honestly, pleased that his expression cleared. "If I think of something good before we get there, Alice will see it and we won't have to have another marathon discussion about the wedding. The last one was awful. She was pushing pictures at me so fast I could barely see what I was pointing at."
"About that," he started. Then he frowned again and fell silent. Minutes passed. They were nearly to the house when he spoke again. "Are you certain this is what you want?" he asked again.
"Dammit, Edward! Yes! This is what I want. YOU are what I want! WHY is it so difficult for you to understand? If I had wanted to stay with Jake, I wouldn't BE here right now. What more proof can I offer you?!" Bella felt first one tear and then another course down her cheek as the exasperation finally got the better of her.
Throughout this whole outburst, Edward simply stared at her, shocked. "I was only asking about those horrid gold tuxedos Alice said you agreed to," he began hesitantly. "All this time, you've thought I was asking about Jacob?"

Here's what we ended up with at the end of the project. :-)
I started off by putting two splats of paint on the paper and put the balls in the box. I picked up the box and shook it around to show Kellan what he could do. He shook the box a little and then stuck his hand in the paint. He didn't like having it on his hands very much. So I wiped them off and gave him a brush and he was much happier. This sort of surprised me. I really thought he would get into finger painting.
He kept asking for more splats of paint. He would point to which color he wanted and I would tell him the color and he would gesture for me to put it on the paper. Every now and then, we rolled the balls around. He batted them around with the brush.

Lately I'm getting really annoyed with the ATI drivers and the system instability it gave me. I posted my problems on our mailinglist but what can I do about it? Not much.
So I decided to take a look, once again, to the state of the Opensource ATI driver and made it work with the stock Entropy packages we have.
Let me warn you that if you are happy with current fglrx, don't change it. If it ain't broken don't fix it!
Now if you are a bit of an experienced user and know how to revert some steps here is a small guide how to make things work for you.
Step 1: Get rid of ATI drivers
equo remove ati-drivers
Step 2: Let the kernel load the radeon module
Edit /etc/conf.d/modules and add modules="radeon" at the end of the file
Step 3: Remove some kernel parameters from the grub menu
Edit /etc/default/sabayon-grub and remove the console=tty1 quiet splash= and vga= completely.
Step 4: Add a custom parameter that enables KMS (Kernel Mode Setting)
Edit /etc/default/grub and add radeon.modeset=1 to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT variable
Step 5: Regenerate your grub.cfg file:
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
Step 6: Use "ati" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change "fglrx" to "ati" in the Driver section of the file
Now reboot.
Optionally you can also play around with the new Gallium3d implementations. To change things to use gallium3d instead of the older mesa you can use the command: eselect mesa list to show how things are currently set.
In my case: eselect mesa set r600 2
Would set it to use gallium3d

Today is the official unveiling of the Bloom Box by Bloom Energy, so we'll hopefully be getting more and more information on this innovative new fuel cell.
The Christian Science Monitor has an article that nicely summarizes how the technology works.
In case you've not read how the Bloom Box system works, each "power plant-in-a-box" come chock full of thin fuel cells, bundled and packaged into an outdoor-safe case. The individual cells soak up oxygen on one side, "and fuel on the other. The two combine within the cell to create a chemical reaction that produces electricity," reported CBS last night. "There's no need for burning or combustion" but it still requires some form of fuel to work. What kind is up to the owner.
"Our system can use fossil fuels like natural gas. Our system can use renewable fuels like landfill gas, bio-gas," Sridhar says. "We can use solar."
In some cases, CO2 is still being emitted by whatever power is feeding the Bloom Box. Rather than calling this new device "zero emission energy," maybe it's better to think of it as a booster pack for already-green sources and as an impressive new filter for dirty ones.
Also, The New York Times reports that the Bloom Box generates electricity at competitive rates.
Mr. Sridhar said the Bloom Energy Server has been generating electricity at a cost of 8 to 10 cents a kilowatt-hour.
In California, where Bloom has installed 30 fuel-cell systems, commercial electricity rates averaged about 14 cents a kilowatt-hour in October 2009, according to the latest figures from the United States Department of Energy. Elsewhere, commercial rates averaged 7 to 24 cents a kilowatt-hour.
Last July, eBay flipped the switch on five Bloom Energy Servers that now supply 15 percent of the electricity at its San Jose, Calif., campus, or about five times as much energy as generated by its 3,248 solar panels, according to Amy Skoczlas Cole, director of the company's Green Team.
"We're expecting a three-year payback period," said Ms. Skoczlas Cole, adding that the calculation includes state and federal tax incentives that halved the price of the fuel cells.
Very impressive!

Sewage plant still a major concern
To the Editor:
I live with my mother in Lynbrook, which is not very far from the Bay Park Sewage Treatment Plant in East Rockaway.
My mom, a longtime resident, went to elementary school in East Rockaway and graduated from the high school there in 1947 (with Don Murray, who went on to be a famous actor). Later that year, she moved to Lynbrook with her family, where she has lived ever since. Needless to say, she has been through many hurricanes, but none quite like Sandy.
We recall when the sewage plant was being built in 1949, and we were told it was to become a Coca-Cola plant. But to sweeten the deal, so to speak, when it became a sewage plant instead, I recall that the parks were built as an olive leaf peace offering to residents in the surrounding areas — a place where my grandchildren have played many times.
I doubt I will want to bring them there again for a very, very long time, though, what with 65 millions gallons a day of raw sewage being released from there since Hurricane Sandy due to flood damage — and I intend to keep my family far from that entire area for a long time.
The plant has always been a major concern for those of us who reside along the South Shore, and in the aftermath of Sandy, our worst fears have been realized. Not only is this raw sewage polluting our Hewlett Bay Park and Hewlett Point Beach Club bays, but I'd be shocked if it didn't make its way into Reynolds Channel by now. It did make it into the streets, and in some cases, people's homes and the schools, too!
Is this still happening, and if so, why? This is perhaps the worst environmental health crisis we have ever experienced, and thus far we have received no real answers from County Executive Ed Mangano or Legislator Howard Kopel regarding the status of the situation and when it will improve. Why not? Where's the leadership on this?
We must use Sandy as a benchmark for any future plans for this plant.

I found this book to leave me thinking about how Amy was thinking at that age I am now 28, but when I was 16 I think I would have done the same thing in some sick sort of way, when you think you love someone as Amy thought she loved Joey, you find yourself willing to do anything to hold on to that romance. Amy was so much younger than Joey that it was easy for Joey to play Amy the way he did, he had been around, lived the life of a teen, he knew what to...

Field Education at Alliance Theological Seminary
Field Ed at ATS is a supervised ministry experience designed to encourage each M.Div. and MPS student's spiritual growth and ministry, as well as help him / her go deeper in knowledge, ministry skills and character development.
Field Ed provides supervisory sessions with a Mentor, opportunities for reflection, and accountability. Heavy emphasis is placed on the mentoring relationship and the Intern's character development. Interns work with the Field Ed Coordinator to secure an Internship site that will enable them to integrate the cognitive and experiential components of ministry, further preparing them for future Kingdom ministry.
At the start of Field Ed, Mentors and Interns meet together at a 3-hour session designed to foster a solid Intern / Mentor relationship, and to teach skills of mentoring. Together, they develop a Contract to guide and keep them on-track throughout the Internship.
SF603: Field Ed is a fully field-based course, with minimal classroom time. It is offered in 1-credit increments of 120 hours each. Students may register for 1, 2 or 3 credits of SF603 per semester (Coordinator approval is required for 2- or 3-credit registrants). In order to graduate from the M.Div. and MPS programs, students must complete 3 credits / 360 hours of Field Ed.
We are at your service, and look forward to walking with you through your Internship experience:

Healthy Leaders. Field Ed establishes the foundation for a good Internship and mentoring relationship to create healthy Christian leaders of good character, and effective ministers to a post-modern world.
Self-Awareness. The Intern understand his / her strengths and weaknesses in relation to his / her functional ministry calling.
Test Vocational Call. Field Ed provides confirmation and clarification of the Intern's call and vocational direction.
Ministry Competency. Field Ed enables the Intern to acquire practical and relational skills, qualities, professionalism and ministerial knowledge.
Integration of Faith & Learning. Field Ed enables the student to integrate all facets of theological understanding, spiritual formation, theory, practice, acquired skills, relational skills and ministerial knowledge into a life of ministry.
- Develop in character and ministry competencies, remembering that the goal of Field Education is the development of the whole person.
- Improve Biblical, theological and trans-cultural methodology by providing the experiential component, along with a Mentor who serves as a guide through the "nuts & bolts" of ministry.

False alarms are a growing problem for local law enforcement, consuming undue time and effort. Because unwanted alarms have reached epidemic proportions for some jurisdictions, communities have set about tracking offenders and charging them a fine when the number of unwanted alarms reaches a predetermined level. In most instances, an alarm permit program pays for the program implementation and management.
While specific details vary, most false alarm programs require both the alarm company and end-user to purchase an alarm permit, which must be renewed annually.
A typical program would assign a per-month cap with a yearly total. When the number of false alarms surpasses the limit, the city fines the alarm owner. Fines vary from $35 to $100 per incident and often increase along with the monthly/yearly total.
Burleson, Texas, passed legislation in 2007 requiring home and business owners to procure an alarm license, without which police will not respond. Out of 2,531 alarm dispatches in Burleson, only 13 were valid. This is not atypical.
At the heart of any false alarm program is a database in which every alarm system in the community is listed. When false alarms occur, the details are entered into the system and tracked over time.
Another strategy that communities use to reduce the number of false alarms is that of no police response, also referred to as a no-response policy.
In Burleson, the magic number is 10, after which the alarm permit is revoked. Without a permit, police will not show up when there is an alarm. Not only is this bad for alarm owners, it's doubly bad for alarm companies because it won't take long for monitored clients to figure out that if the police are not going to show, they don't need to have their system monitored. This strikes at the business model used by the alarm industry, which involves recurring monthly revenue for their monitoring services.
It behooves electrical contractors involved in alarm installations and central station monitoring to do everything possible to help their clients minimize the number of false alarms generated. The cost associated with not doing so is much higher than one might suppose.
Video to verify alarm drops
Another way to fight false alarms is to use remote video. In cases where video surveillance is already in place, all that needs to be done is to add a remote video system using either the Internet or a dial-up connection for signal transport.
Douglas County, Colo., recently adopted a false alarm ordinance. The total number of false alarms allowed in a 12-month period in the county is two. After that, the sheriff will no longer respond. To be reinstated in the program, the alarm system must be repaired, and the alarm owner must fork over $100 to the county.
To track and pay for this service, alarm companies are required to register the alarm systems they install. The cost for this is $40, but Douglas County doesn't stop there. Alarm companies are required to verify all alarms before actually dispatching the police to a location.
Alarm verification can be accomplished either through the use of a special runner, such as a security guard service, or by the use of remote video.
The best course of action for an alarm company is to check with each jurisdiction before doing the work. Electrical contractors who work in this area should also ensure that their alarm clients understand the false alarm policy in their locale. If possible, put it in writing so the alarm owner cannot claim ignorance, expecting the alarm company to pay the bill.
Not only will these methods help reduce the load on responding police departments, they also will help keep legislated methods of reduction to a minimum.

Who would have thought that the ratirds offense would OUT play our own offense????
No question about Woodley being a stud! And nice to see Timmons coming on!
Until our offense gets on track, and now with all the injuries, we will not e going far.
**** Formerly Clevestinks!****i como enormes senos
last night game was a physically game a defense stand of game,our offense still needs to be work out an with the injuries growing everyday really doesnt make it easier for.So we have to call out the rest of our teamates an feel postions as needed.I most say I'm upset with the injury of our number 2 back mendenhall playing the ray lewis you cant go head to head with this unless your number is 36 the bus.Mendenhall should of been more of a finesse game instead of a power game.Thats what you need to do against a ray lewis exsecially if your given up 45 pounds up to the man.Even thou ray is old the man still has his tools of the trade.I;m black an gold frist dont get me wrong but you have to play smarter then the team your playing.We mitch the ravans physically play with our defense Harrison,Woodly,Smith,Foote our whole defense was on their game plan.I love the game last night it was very physically very ugly nothing pretty but it what it is a win!! We Still need to work on getting the ball out of Ben's hands alot quicker .I think this new system we have on offense when Ben is holding the ball entirely to long his checks on the feild with the receviers needs to be stress.Last year we look alot better then this I'm saying when in doubt do what you know Steelers Football run the ball.Spite the fact we our down to our 4 back but moore is no bum he had a 1000 yrd season with the vikings so we still do some things as a team as a whole an collectivly we can.

The travel industry has been missing out on a huge opportunity from not being able to offer taxis as part of door-to-door travel services. Cabforce's Partner Program is the first to consolidate European taxis for Travel Industry partners.
Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) November 13, 2012
Today at the PhoCusWright Conference Cabforce has announced their Partner Program, allowing travel industry players to add taxis – the missing link of the travel industry – to their service portfolio creating an unrivaled door-to-door travel experience. Through the Cabforce's Partner Program, partners such as airlines and travel agencies can boost ancillary revenues by reselling pre-priced and pre-booked taxis from Cabforce's rapidly growing European network.
Cabforce's integration with partners is designed for flexibility and can plug into any point of the sale. Through Cabforce's Taxi API, customers can search and select taxis within existing booking flows and purchase the ride along with the main product. Cabforce's tech team helps partners with integration and provides example resources to speed up the development.
Alternatively, industry partners can lead customers to Cabforce's booking engine. The engine can be branded with partner graphics and is optimized to work with desktops, tablets, and smartphones. Partners can also securely pass relevant itinerary and passenger information to book a ride, reducing friction for customers.
Cabforce has opened the Partner Program to new travel industry partners after the success of its current partnerships, which include Finnair, Estonian Air, CWT Kaleva Travel, Finland Travel Bureau (American Express Business Travel representative), Area (GlobalStar) and Travellink.
This week Cabforce is coming to millions of more touchpoints as they announce partnerships with UK train operator First Great Western to provide door-to-door services for train passengers, a partnership with Travelport to bring Cabforce rides available to Universal Desktop, and with mTrotter to reach out to travelers on mobile devices.
"The travel industry has been missing out on a huge opportunity from not being able to offer taxis as part of door-to-door bookings. Now our technology, 24/7 operations, and network of quality suppliers in Europe are available as unique content for distribution within the travel industry. Our partners can now happily promote taxis to their customers along with flights, hotels and rental cars," says Andreas Hansson, CEO of Cabforce.
Travelers have become accustomed to booking flights, hotels, and vacation packages online, but providing true door-to-door service has been previously impossible in Europe due to the fragmented taxi offering. Cabforce consolidates the market by partnering with certified local fleets and providing a unified ride experience with 24/7 customer service in all their destinations. The company makes safe and reliable pre-booking possible because it has a technology platform unlike any other in the industry – its real time pricing platform determines the all-inclusive rate for any trip at the time of booking.
About Cabforce (http://www.cabforce.com)
Established in 2009 in Espoo, Finland, Cabforce's founders were fed up with unpredictable, unreliable taxi journeys while abroad and set about creating a network of certified cab providers with a flat-rate, upfront cost – minimizing bill shock and reliability concerns. The service is available on the web, via a free iPhone app, and for partners through a newly launched Partner Program. Travelers can pre-book their taxis, pre-paying a fee that includes all taxes tolls and charges, online and in English. So customers can sit back and enjoy their trip; confident in the knowledge that their taxi will be there when they need it, and has been fully paid for in advance.
Book now at http://www.cabforce.com, or download the app for free from Apple iTunes©.
