Re-seating a Thousand People
Date: 6/30/96 at 13:9:32 From: The Gellman's Subject: Different Seating Problem I am having difficulty in solving the following problem. Can a thousand people seated around a circle in seats numbered from 1 to 1000, each person bearing one of the numbers from 1 to 1000, be re- seated so as to preserve their (circular) order and so that no person's number is the same as that of the chair?
Date: 6/30/96 at 16:15:46 From: Doctor Ceeks Subject: Re: Different Seating Problem Suppose there were a seating arrangement where it proved impossible to rotate the people so that no person was sitting in a seat with the same number. Let N(s) be the number of the person in seat s. Note that there are 1000 possibilites for seating the people in such a way that their circular order is preserved. Since each of the 1000 possible seating arrangements has someone sitting in the same numbered chair, and, for each person, only one of the 1000 possible seating arrangements causes that person to sit in the same numbered chair, we conclude that for each of the 1000 possible seating arrangments, exactly one person is sitting in the same numbered chair (by the pigeon-hole principle). This means that N(s)-s runs through all the congruence classes modulo 1000. In other words, (N(s)-s)-(N(t)-t) is divisible by 1000 if and only if s=t. On the other hand, the sum of the number N(s)-s over all s = 1,...,1000 is equal to 0. But this is impossible since modulo 1000, the sum of the numbers 1 through 1000 is equal to 500. Therefore, no counterexample exists and it's always possible to find a way to seat the people so that their circular order is preserved and no person is sitting in the same numbered chair. (Try to do this for 3 people, and you'll run into a counterexample.) -Doctor Ceeks, The Math Forum Check out our web site! http://mathforum.org/dr.math/

Asus A7N8X Deluxe or Abit NF7S v2.0 ?
I never used abit so I would be bias to the Asus .. However Abit is suppsed to be a very good board..
both are great but i'm probably go with abit on this one ^_^ - read the reviews!
IMO Asus
sorry being thick here what does IMO mean
"In My Opinion"
I have owned both... and I'm currently using the Abit. Go for the Abit, basically the same board, only better price
the A7N8X Deluxe has Qfan, which lets you dictate how fast your cpu fan runs and set a threshhold (say, 60C) at which it will spin at full speeds. also, the passive northbridge heatsink is more effective, more reliable, and certainly quieter than abit's fan.
the newer A7N8X-E Deluxe adds gigabit an some proprietary wireless upgradeability.
the NF7-S lets your flash your bios through windows. that's really all it's got in the way of unique features.
the newer AN7 has the uGuru chip which lets you control all sorts of things like multiple fan speeds, extensive dedicated hardware monitoring, windows-based frequency settings, and of course windows bios flashing. but the AN7 throws out the superb sounstorm audio that the NF7-S and both the A7N8X's have.
all depends what you want to do - are you o/cing or just "using" and if just "using" what is your intended config?
IMHO I would go for ABIT....
why? Because I have the ASUS and not seen any extra value.... then again if you are going for a lot of the extras then I would say the ASUS delux has an edge over the ABIT... there's a link somewhere on the vaporised NTFS BB to a comparative site, but my brain has been fried by HL lately and it is way early here and I have gone into Monday slowmo -
so I think I made my point (I have ASUS and recommend ABIT unless you want delux or know what you want)
something like that...
edit - ooops see you were talking about delux in the first place, well then I'll stick with ASUS like as I have it, only think I might have opted for delux but to be quite honest it is a real fine line to call
I must sort my sig out....
sorry to think out loud guys
Watching the posts in here over the last 6 months ABIT seems to be getting the better reviews. Last summer ASUS was ahead but they seemed to have some issues for a while.
Have not seen any problem issues on either brand for the last couple of months.
ABIT by a nose based on older data or flip a coin.
Hows that for an unequivocal maybe?
With either brand watch out for the chipset versions. There seem to be 5 (or more, I lost count) versions of the nforce 2 chipset now. Some still do not support 400 mhz fsb.
These boards have a good reputation but ..........
If you want a board half the price ,to equal or better , certainly on overclocking / memory tfr side, try the AsRock K7S8XE+.
No Firewire though ,although has SATA hotplug system.
Approx £39 or $70.
I just bought me an Asus a7n8x-e deluxe to go with my new barton 2600+ no problems so far - quite pleased with it infact, however the dfi lanparty board that is comparable to he a7n8x-e has a few advantages over it, but so does the asus on the flipside, never used an abit board so cant say, never heard anything bad about them though.
sis for amd == teh suck
no offense but if anyone is planning on building any kind of performance system... I think the last place to look @ would be sis for the socket A platform...
both the abit and asus boards discussed in this thread as well as the dfi lanparty boards are quite exceptional and perform very well across the board...
whats the purpose of your computer? gaming, media, surfing the net? how much ram do you expect the use? what processor? these things can help narrow down which would help you the most.
I would definitely go with the Abit... know a few people who have this mobo and have heard nothing but good things about it (which is always good). You could also look at the direction of the Gigabyte GA-7NNXP (or newer equivalents) as this is also spoken well of.
I actually have the A7N8x-Deluxe and have for about a year now.. mine's an older rev 1.3 board that does not technically support 400FSB (though it supports DDR400). My friend has an NF7-S and he likes it quite a bit... Both boards are excellent boards, but I think I like the layout of the ASUS better. The one advantage the Abit has is the P4 connector for the power supply, something mine doesn't have. On my board the ATX power connector is near the top right of the board, while on his it's down and to the left from the CPU. The Asus has dual LAN and 4 USB on the backplane + 2 on a header... the Abit has single LAN and 2 USB on the backplane + 4 on headers. Also, on the Asus, the location of the fan headers is different.. CPUFAN is above and to the right of the CPU, PWRFAN + CHAFAN are oriented horizontally right next to each other directly above the AGP slot... on the Abit, CPUFAN is to the left of the CPU (below the power supply), CHAFAN1 is oriented vertically just above the ATX power header (down/left from CPU) and the PWRFAN header is also oriented vertically just below the ATX power header. Also, as previously mentioned the Asus has a passively cooled northbridge with a decent sized heatsink and the Abit has a small fan on top of an almost nonexistent heatsink. Contrary to what was stated above, the Asus can also be flashed from inside windows using Asus's utility called "Asusupdate". I've been doing it ever since I got the board and have had no issues so far. Asus also has a decent enthusiast community that's been producing a few "hacked" BIOS's (the best of which is the Uber series), one of which I am running. Asus includes the 4 mounting holes around the CPU for large cooling solutions and waterblocks... Abit started including them from rev 1.2-on, so you should be ok if you get a 2.0. Needless to say, about the only thing I've found on the Abit that my Asus doesn't have is an optical digital out on the backplane itself instead of requiring a header. Asus also seems to update BIOS's more often, so take it as you wish.

Filed under: Humboldt, Southern Humboldt
I will never understand it. The trees have survived road work so far. It seems that if they achieved balance after said brutal road work in the grove, they will once again achieve balance after the current project.
Larger trees have been or will be cut for the new Safeway store in Eureka. Not a peep from the enviros about that one, even after NCJ did a fine article about that one.
I also don't get how these people are fighting against the project to save Humboldt, fight against any local company that voices support for the project, against any media article that isn't 100% against the project, and ignore that it will benefit local small businesses.
Do any of you scare tactic folks understand a small business can be a corporation too?
We have many, many environmental problems out there, yet complaining about a blip in time of a project, and impact. We are spending tons on 101 from Marin north, the 7 million for RG project is just a drop in the bucket. Here's another project for $9.3 million for 101 in San Rafael in Marin.
We have the good old oil spill going on now in the Gulf, though it isn't so far the biggest spill, or the biggest environmental disaster. Fred covered a big long-lasting spill on California Land that was bigger. We are still snagging chemical munitions our government dumped off our own coast(Mustard gas). You know there is six nuclear weapons missing around the US don't you? We still have to clean up from manufacture of nuclear weapons and fuel.
What about the oil naturally leaking in the gulf, and other areas? What about the massive amount of oil in ship wrecks that will leak, or does? What about the plastic floating in the oceans?
Whole cities have been abandoned in the US due to effects of their principal mining, and other manufacturing. One city has burned for decades because the coal underneath it caught fire, from trash burning. Oops. What about the co2 from that coal-burning
What about working to get us better energy sources? What about working on these huge problems? VS RG project, where nobody will notice any effect.

What are you doing about the planet's problems?
Breeding more future liberals?
You know, kids often end up the opposite of their parents, esp in fascist families such as yours.
So I must say, thank you for your good work!
So the point of this is??
Other, even 'worse' things have happened so that makes it all o.k.?
Bash libs because they fight one project and not another?
And this makes cons 'good' just how exactly?
In 50 years people are going to despise us all for the way we treat this planet now.
My God. You have some loons that read your blog cap. I would love to see the road widened there. Too many people act like we will destroy the entire world if we widen the road there. Give me a break!

From a divided and acrimonious conference at odds with its speaker and its base, the House Republicans have gotten their act together. The latest evidence of a unified and smart governing approach was the lopsided vote 267-151 in favor of a continuing resolution to fund the government through the end of the fiscal year. On the House majority's side were more than 50 Democrats and most of the speaker's right-wing critics (only 14 Republicans defected).
In addition to achieving political unity and cashing in on the sequester (e.g. adopting the sequester cuts for the rest of the fiscal year), the House made some wise adjustments.
The bill is a continuing resolution for most federal agencies, but for the Defense Department (DOD) and Department of Veterans Affairs, it includes a full appropriations bill. That language gives the DOD some flexibility in dealing with the sequester, by shifting $10.4 billion to the operations and maintenance budget.
The bill tries to cushion the effects of sequestration in some non-military areas.
It adds $2 billion for embassy security in the wake of last September's attacks on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, and provides $363 million more for nuclear security and $129 million more for FBI salaries, among other things.
It also includes other policy mandates, including a prohibition on the use of funds to move Guantánamo Bay detainees to the United States and a freeze on federal worker pay.
House Speaker John Boehner cajoled the Senate:
Today the House has taken the first step towards assuring the American people that the federal government will stay open, which President Obama agrees should be our shared goal. This legislation is straightforward and reasonable, protecting national defense and helping our veterans while maintaining the president's sequester, which Republicans continue to support replacing because there are better ways to cut spending. The Senate should pass the House measure without delay so we can continue focusing on helping Americans get back to work and putting the country on a path to a balanced budget.
The effort completes a trifecta of smart moves by the House Republicans. First, they minimized the damage from the expiration of the Bush tax cuts. Next, they held firm despite the White House caterwauling and media hyperventilation over the sequester. And now they've sought to defend defense and keep the government operating. In the past the House hasn't gotten the right mix of flexibility and spine and surely hasn't won the public relations effort. With these three moves they've shown great improvement.
The next step is a budget for the next fiscal year, one that is aided by the addition of the new tax revenue and by the lower sequester spending levels. However, the House right-wingers have insisted on a balanced budget in 10 years.
The Ryan plans also quietly highlight challenges: Slow economic growth + (roughly) historical levels of tax revenues + a promise to spare retirees and near-retirees from Medicare changes = a long road to debt reduction + severe Medicaid cuts + severe discretionary spending cuts. My conclusion is that a) tax revenues and spending levels will in the future probably need to be above historical levels and the levels Ryan targets, b) we cannot settle for the level of GDP growth CBO forecasts, c) entitlement reform ASAP. Ryan has the right ideas — and certainly knows the need for faster growth — but implementation poses major political challenges.
Frankly, by pushing Rep. Paul Ryan into a 10-year deadline (for which there is no particular benefit or significance) and then nixing Ryan's idea to begin the Medicare premium support plan in nine, rather than 10, years, House Republicans are make it harder on themselves and setting up a budget that will be less enticing than it need otherwise be. Let's see if the House Republicans build on their successes and learn from them.

Cars Mega Mack Playtown £14.99 @ Argos
The Cars Mega Mack playtown has been reduced from £44.99 to £14.99 at Argos, a corking deal indeed. However, to get your very own Cars Mega Mack playtown you cannot get it delivered to your front door, this is Reserve & Collect only.
While it may be a bit frustrating to not get the Cars Mega Mack playtown delivered to your front door, it is certainly cheaper to reserve your own and collect it from your nearest branch. The deal is good enough to warrant such an adventure I think!
The giant 24-inch Mack Truck talking vehicle unfolds into three movie adventure sets. You can use the three position car launcher to send the Lightning McQueen vehicle flying into the fun action features in each play area.
The Cars Mega Mack playtown set includes Lightning McQueen, Doc Hudson and Bessie vehicles and demands that you feed it three AAA batteries. Fortunately these are included in the initial price. The kit is ideal for tots over the age of five and looks to be enormous fun!
Thanks to Bear Bargains at HUKD!

This semester I decided not to be on a sports team so that I can manage my own time. Not being on a team has given me the opportunity to adjust exercising around my school schedule as opposed to going to practice at a set time and waiting around for practice to start. Also, with the free weekends, I was able to sign up for races such as the Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend. With a Special Request Form approved to miss a couple classes to catch a flight, I was able to meet my sister in Florida and we got to run the 10k (6.2 miles) and half marathon (13.1 miles) on February 22nd and February 23rd respectively. It was such a memorable weekend; it was very productive and we were also able to have fun in all four theme parks of Disney World. It was also very fun to represent the Coast Guard in the Military category as well as partake in the Sister/Sister Team category. It was an unforgettable experience to see the hard work of training and exercising pay off in a very rewarding 10k and half marathon. The climate amongst the runners is different from what I have been used to. When I used to be on the CGA Cross Country team, everything and everyone had a competitive vibe. When I ran the road races in Disney, there was a slight competitive vibe amongst serious runners, however the competitive attitude was more about being competitive with oneself. Overall, road races have more of a team event, seeing everyone waking up at 3 a.m. to gather and start a race at 5:30 in the morning!
I also realized that learning how to manage my time is crucial for preparing myself for my future as a Coast Guard officer. I have heard the importance of time management before, but I never realized that it needed to be applied beyond academics. In the past, I did not need to time manage exercising because there was a set allotted time for team practices. Being on a team, I had been so dependent on my coaches and the teams to get me into shape. Only when I took a semester away from the sports team atmosphere that I saw the importance of building good fitness habits in order to remain fit.
I am officially excited to start training and signing up for more road races! I'm lacing up my shoes and ready to hit the roads :)

Needless to say upon the announcement of the snow day the entirety of chase hall burst into cheers. Snowmen and snowball fights are interspersed with the incessant singing of Frozen songs. It's confusing, since I still haven't seen the movie, and it gets a little annoying since as soon as one person stops, someone else begins. However, the morale is pretty much at an all time high, so I really can't complain about the singing all that much. It honestly just makes me want to go see Frozen.
Anyway, the New England winter that is so often characterized as being dark and dreary has been one of the best times of the year. I've remembered how much I love to snowboard through a weekend at Killington, Vermont. I also visited the Statue of Liberty for the first time on MLK day weekend. Even though I missed the Class of 2016 ski trip to Okemo, Vermont, I got to spend nine days in sunny Florida competing against the top sailors in the world. Next weekend is another long weekend that I can spend with friends. Then spring break is just around the corner!
As always, if you have any questions feel free to ask! firstname.lastname@example.com.
More about Christi.
Spring break festivities start a little early for 1/c cadets at the Academy, as the Thursday night before break is Billet Night. Billet Night is when 1/c cadets receive their "billet," or ensign assignment. This assignment tells firsties where they will be living for the first year and a half of their Coast Guard career, what type of work they will be doing, and also lets them know which classmates will be going with them on their assignment. The anticipation and excitement experienced by the firsties trickles down throughout the rest of the corps, and puts everyone in high spirits before heading out on spring break.
Many of the spring sports teams travel during spring break. As part of the Lacrosse team, I left Chase Hall Thursday night (right after the firsties received there billets) en route to Palm Beach, Florida. We played two games the first weekend of the break, and although the results weren't exactly what my teammates and I wanted, I do believe that the time spent on the bus ride to Florida and the time spent together in Palm Beach did bring us closer together as a team. Hopefully this bonding time will produce future wins as we enter the bulk of our conference game schedule, starting Friday against Central Connecticut.
After we played our two games, the team was released and players were free to do whatever they wanted for the rest of spring break. I meet my parents and girlfriend in Palm Beach, and we proceeded to drive up to Orlando to spend a couple days at Disney World. The Morale, Welfare, and Recreation (MWR) office at the Academy always has great deals for service members at various attractions, including Disney, and my family decided to use them! My girlfriend and I stayed an extra day in Disney after my parents headed home, and then spent a day in Savannah, Georgia before driving back up to our hometown in Northern Virginia.
I really enjoyed my spring break as a time I got to spend with teammates, friends, and family. After a restful week, I now feel up to taking on the second half of the semester.

Soccer fans – live football this weekend!
Springtime for the Quakes. April showers. Can we see the shoots come out? The Quakes are looking for their first win. The season needs life. San Jose is lagging in last place in the conference. Tomorrow's match offers a chance to sow some hope. Chivas USA visits. The SoCal club mired in the mud in the last few years – ownership problems. But the Quakes can't expect an easy day on the field. Chivas gets tough. They play some good football.
San Jose has the bloom. Bring the heat. New signing, Portugal's Yannik Djalo, loaded with promise, once he finds the pace, wins sure to follow. And time for Chris Wondolowski to harvest a bunch of goals. The World Cup watchers have an eye on him. Midfield, the Quakes need more craft. Combine the moving parts to be quicker in moving up play, keeping the ball on the ground. Resist the flight of the long ball hoof. 90 minutes tomorrow. Time for San Jose to spring forward.
Live football this weekend

BRASELTON, GA – October 20, 2012 – Extreme Speed Motorsports (ESM) conquered the GT field during Saturday's American Le Mans Series (ALMS) presented by Tequila Patrón season finale during the 10 hour/1,000-mile Petit Le Mans race at Road Atlanta by leading the majority of the GT class laps en route to victory by nearly 30 seconds.
The No. 01 Ultimat Vodka/Action Against Hunger Ferrari 458 Italia co-driven by Scott Sharp, Johannes van Overbeek and Toni Vilander started from the GT pole and was the dominant race car to beat during the endurance event. In his closing stint, Vilander had a 42 second lead with eight laps remaining in the race, but as the race came to a close, fuel strategy became an issue.
Vilander responded to the challenge and claimed his decisive win with only two liters of fuel remaining in the Ferrari's tank.
The overall finishing position for the No. 01 Ferrari was 12th overall, out of 42 total entrants.
Today's win marks the second win for the No. 01 this season, with the other in July for Sharp and van Overbeek at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park.
This season, the No. 01 team has earned five third place finishes (Long Beach, Lime Rock, Road America, Baltimore, VIR) and two wins (Canadian Tire Motorsports Park and Road Atlanta). Based on this strong showing, Sharp and van Overbeek are ranked second in the very challenging ALMS GT driver's championship.
The accolades continued at Road Atlanta with the No. 01 receiving the Michelin Green X Challenge Award for being the cleanest, fastest and most efficient race car in the GT class. ESM received the award during at Long Beach in April and at Virginia International Raceway in September.
On the other side of the ESM paddock, Ed Brown, Guy Cosmo and Anthony Lazzaro co-drivers of the No. 02 Ultimat Vodka/Action Against Hunger Ferrari 458 Italia. Cosmo initially qualified the No. 02 machine on the pole, but was forced to the back of the field at the start of the race after ALMS officials deemed to the No. 02 too low in ride height (by millimeters), thus failing post qualifying technical inspection. The low ride height was a result of a broken splitter that occurred during Friday's qualifying session.
Cosmo wheeled the Ferrari and charged through and was running fourth before handing the Ferrari over to Brown. Unfortunately, time was lost in a driver change due to a problem with seatbelt adjustment, as well as an on-track penalty for Cosmo for "avoidable contact" with another competitor. Due to the time lost, the No. 2 finished the race in ninth place in the GT class.
A two hour recap of the 15th Annual Petit Le Mans, the final race of the 2012 American Le Mans Series presented by Tequila Patrón season, will air this Sunday, October 21, at 1 p.m., on ABC.
Scott Sharp
"This is a win you dream about all year. Winning a big race like Petit is huge.
"Over the last three years, we've been close on a few of these and had a few slip away. We felt we had other races we thought we were going to win and had things happen to us. It is just great for it to all come together.
"I don't think there is a scratch on the car. The pit stops were incredible. Leigh [Pettipas, No. 01 team engineer] was just on the strategy and that's what won us the race at the end.
"Toni and Johannes both did a great job. That's what it takes to win a 10 hour race – an entire team effort."
Ed Brown
"Both of our Ferraris were probably the fastest cars all week. The team has really matured this year.
"Everybody said to me at the podium tonight that I can't change the scheme because the Ultimat Vodka livery was a good luck charm, but I can promise you the black and green will be back for Sebring.
"This team has worked so hard. It will probably set in tomorrow and we'll really feel what it is about. My hat is off to the team, they did an unbelievable job.
"It was a frustrating race for the No. 02. I think we had good pace all day. This was the best race for me and things just seem to happen.
"Tonight's win really makes us look forward to the new season and what that will bring. I've said it all year, to beat the factory teams is one of the hardest things to do. For the No. 01 car to not only win the race, but to wrap up second in points in the championship against five or six factory cars, that's one of those things that don't generally get done."
Johannes van Overbeek
"I'm so happy for Scott, Ed, Tequila Patrón, Ultimat Vodka and everyone at ESM that made this win possible. We couldn't have done it without Toni's help. He did a great job all week.
"This was my second Petit Le Mans win and this one is just all the sweeter because we had such a build up all year and every race we just got better. It is great to end the season with a victory after all the hard work and podiums.
"I'm happy we're here on the podium tonight to celebrate as a team."
Guy Cosmo
"We had a great car and we knew we had a really fast car. Both of the ESM Ultimat Ferraris were the cars to beat this weekend. I did the best that I could, got up towards the front and handed it off to Ed.
"Then Ed drove like he's never driven before – an amazing race. He had the stint of his life when he first got in today. He drove really well. We're proud of him. He made a lot of progress this season and this weekend. His performance this weekend was a testament to his dedication and motivation to perform for this event.
"Then Anthony Lazzaro was an iron man and brought it home for us.
"If it weren't for a few minor mishaps we would have had a podium car just like our sister Ferrari, who rightfully decimated the competition and won this race. Congratulations to Scott, Johannes and Toni on their well-deserved victory tonight."
Toni Vilander
"I enjoyed working with the ESM team this week. I went to the shop last Friday, traveled to Atlanta on Sunday and everything was great. It couldn't have gone any better. Everything was arranged so it was easy for me.
"I found a very professional team. The team was very hungry to win and I think we shared the same passion. Hard work and the fact we never gave up and believing we can win and we did it – we won the race. We had strong and hard rivals, but we showed that when we do things the right way, we can compete with the best in the world.
"The Ferrari ran good. If you know some history, two years ago I ran out of fuel going through turn 10a. On my last stint today, the main issue was to save fuel. I tried to use my best knowledge on it and we were out of the fuel window and then suddenly we were in. Once the engineer said we were good with fuel that was the best thing you can hear from the radio. Then I heard the countdown, eight laps to go, seven, six, and then the white flag.
"The last lap was quite a bit of emotion. I'm happy for myself, happy for the team, happy for Ferrari and everything that happened for this race. It was a very positive week and result."
Anthony Lazzaro
"I made a mistake in the beginning on the seatbelts and that cost us a lot of time in the pits. We had a couple of little mishaps on track and got behind but after that everything was pretty good. The car drove really well at night and we were pretty competitive. I'm very happy to see the No. 01 team on top of the podium tonight."

Dodgers infielder Justin Sellers arrested after doing motorcycle 'wheelies,' fleeing police
Eleven years ago this March, San Francisco Giants slugger Jeff Kent made news by breaking a bone in his wrist while "washing his pick-up truck." Only, that was his cover story. He actually broke his wrist by falling off his motorcycle after he was popping wheelies on it. Witnesses had seen Kent, came forward and blew their whistles. His truck story wouldn't wash anymore.
It's never the crime, but instead the cover-up, that gets you. That's how it used to be, anyway.
On Saturday night, Dodgers infielder Justin Sellers was arrested in West Sacramento, Calif. — which sounds bad enough by itself. But check out what he was up to, via KCRA.com:
Police said Sellers was doing "wheelies" on his motorcycle in a neighborhood near Riva Drive. When officers tried to pull him over, police said Sellers took off.
After a short chase, Sellers turned himself in, authorities said.
West Sacramento police said they have had repeated reports of a motorcyclist driving recklessly in the same neighborhood for the past month.
[Also: Stan Musial, beloved by baseball, revered in St. Louis]
Police are implying that Sellers is a serial wheelie-ist! The spirit of Jeff Kent compels him! Seriously, what is it about future/current/former Dodgers infielders (who wear No. 12) and their compulsion to do motorcycle wheelies until something bad happens?
Is this alleged farce going to cost the 26-year-old Sellers his roster spot in L.A.? The bloggists at Mike Scioscia's Tragic Illness wonder if Sellers wasn't already on shaky ground. He's a career .204 hitter in limited duty the past two seasons. Heck, he's lucky police also didn't charge him with impersonating a major league shortstop.
Perhaps he should take the hint and try to make his future on a motorcycle. In races, though.

Assistant Copy Editor
I first heard of the Boston Marathon bombing shortly after 4 p.m. on Monday as I scrolled through my Facebook feed after class.
A few minutes later, I learned that my cousin and his girlfriend, who both ran in the marathon, had left the finish line 30 minutes before the bombs went off and were safe and sound.
That immediate concern relieved, I then turned on CNN and listened as they tried to make sense of what had happened.
As mentioned in the above editorial, this was the first terrorist attack to claim American lives on U.S. soil since 9/11.
As with 9/11, in the immediate aftermath of the attacks, there were unconfirmed reports of more attacks—that additional bombs were found on Boylston Street, and that the JFK Library, also in Boston, had been bombed as well.
I wondered whether this was the first wave, if more attacks would soon follow.
As these thoughts raced through my mind, I began to write the story that now appears on pages one and two.
It was probably 4:45 at this point, and the governor of Massachusetts and the Boston police commissioner were giving a press conference.
Initially, I expected my story would be a short informative one, with details about the attacks provided by Boston police and some quotes from the press conferences.
I wrote a few lines down, then ate dinner, constantly watching the news, wondering if they would be reporting additional attacks.
Initially there were reports that two were dead and 28 injured, though the number would soon increase—at 5:10 CNN reported 49 were injured; at 5:14 they cited the Boston Globe and raised the count to 100.
Shortly before 7 p.m., I emailed my editor-in-chief, my news editor and my copy editor about the story I'd started. At this point I doubted it would run due to a lack of a link to the OWU community. I was mainly writing to help understand what had happened.
A few minutes later, I heard back that I should talk to OWU students from the Boston area.
It was at this point, about 7:05, that it hit me—I was reporting on a genuine terrorist attack. It was a deeply troubling thing to realize.
As a journalist, I dream of being able to report on real news and serious issues, but death and destruction are not things we relish writing about.
America had been attacked again—although whether it was from the outside or the inside is still unclear.
While the body count was much, much lower than 9/11, the images of people running in fear, of smoke billowing down city streets and emergency responders rushing to the scene were still terrifying to watch.
I focused my mind back on the task at hand, knowing that the story I was working on would be published, that this had to be done.
Before I heard of the bombings, my plan for the evening was to work on an upcoming paper; instead I found myself rushing headlong into the story.
I wrote it out of a desire to understand what was going on, how this had happened and to document the tragedy as it unfolded.
Shortly after 7, before I emailed several potential sources, I took a walk down to Blue Limestone. It's a good place to go to when I'm stressed, and no story I've written has had more pressure than this one—not that the many of the others were stress-free either.
On the way there, I wrote out a draft of the emails I sent, mindful that those receiving them had just had a terrorist bombing in the area where their families live.
Then I just walked around for awhile, trying not to think about the two dead and many more injured or whether this would happen again in the coming days.
Eventually, after almost an hour, I walked back to OWU and got to work.
To my surprise, I quickly heard back from two Boston-area students who did respond to the questions I sent, and who both had friends at the Marathon and family in the area. Fortunately, all of them survived the attack unscathed, at least physically.
However, shortly before 9 p.m., the Boston police commissioner announced that there had been a third fatality caused by the blast.
Early Tuesday morning, we were notified that an OWU alum knew the family of one of those killed in the attack.
As a journalist, it's my job to follow the news closely and report on major events, and I usually enjoy it very much. This week, though, it's not been a pleasant job to have.
Amidst the reports of carnage, of maiming, of death, though, there was hope—stories of runners risking everything to go back into the bomb zone and help, or sprinting on to Mass General, two miles away, to give blood.
It is hearing stories like these that makes me proud to be American, and it is reporting on them that makes me proud to be a journalist.

Mayer Brown has experience in many specific matters. Search the entire list.
Mayer Brown has more than 250 lawyers ranked by Chambers worldwide and more than 150 Peer Review Rated lawyers in Martindale Hubbell.
The US Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") has a significant history of using its Section 5 authority to enforce promises that companies make to consumers in privacy policies. When one company acquires another, however, the companies' existing privacy policies may be inconsistent. On April 10, 2014, the Director of the FTC's Bureau of Consumer Protection threatened potential enforcement action where an acquiring company refused to honor promises made in the privacy policy of an acquired company.
In February, Facebook announced its plan to purchase WhatsApp, a mobile messaging company. Notably, WhatsApp's privacy policy states that, absent a user's consent, consumers' information will not be used for advertising purposes or be sold to third parties for commercial or marketing purposes; Facebook, however, routinely uses consumer information for advertising and marketing. Privacy groups filed a complaint with the FTC regarding the inconsistency in the two privacy policies.
The FTC's letter to Facebook and WhatsApp makes clear that the Bureau of Consumer Protection expects Facebook to continue to honor the commitments WhatsApp made to users in its privacy policy. The letter states that "Facebook's purchase of WhatsApp would not nullify these promises … and Facebook would continue to be bound by them." The letter goes on to note that Facebook's use of data from WhatsApp users in violation of the current WhatsApp privacy policy could constitute a deceptive or unfair practice under Section 5 of the FTC Act.
The FTC's letter also explains the steps Facebook would need to take if it intends to use data from WhatsApp users in ways that are inconsistent with WhatsApp's current privacy policy. Most importantly, Facebook would need to obtain WhatsApp's users' affirmative consent before doing so. The letter cautioned that Facebook must avoid any misleading statements about how the data would be used or maintained. Finally, the letter recommends that Facebook offer users the opportunity to opt out of any such changes, instead of making such changes mandatory for all consumers by virtue of their continued use of WhatsApp.
Privacy policies continue to be an important aspect of any company's online and offline presence, and the FTC's letter stands as a reminder about the potential pitfalls associated with such policies. In particular, the letter makes clear that companies contemplating potential acquisitions must consider and address inconsistencies in privacy policies. To the extent that an acquiring company wants to change the privacy policy of a target company to conform to its own, it will likely need affirmative consumer consent to do so. Absent such considerations, Section 5 enforcement actions are possible.

MLB Network, which is desperately trying to become the main destination for baseball nerds, is in the middle of 15 hours of "live trade-deadline coverage." Give the net an A for effort, but it just isn't working.
Through the first two hours of coverage, one trade had been made. The show is basically a panel of talking heads analyzing, reacting and forecasting to trade activity. Not exactly riveting stuff.
As I write this, the past half hour has produced two more trades, but from how many different angles can you dissect Orlando Cabrera for Tyler Landendorf? Baseball fans would better to watch "SportsCenter" (currently on ESPN2 because of U.S. Senior Open coverage on the mothership), where news of other sports can be sprinkled in between trades.

Extracts from the book....
"There was a Place Called What???" In Lenawee County Michigan (past and present)
by Carol Stevens
This information is printed here with permission from Stevens.
If you are interested in purchasing a copy of this book, click here.
Located just north of Manitou Beach, located on the 1921 and 1928 plat maps, but not found in Romig's work, lies in Section 4 of Rollin Township, along the Cincinnati Northern Railroad.
In 1894 a station at the junction of the Ohio branch of the C., J. & M. Railroad with the main line, a mile east of Addison.
Charles Perry became the first postmaster of this rural post office in Medina Township on May 1, 1851, the office operated until July 17, 1868.
Moses, Orin and Jacob Baker bought land here in 1831-32, the settlement became known as Baker's Corners, a post office known as Baker's opened on Jan. 29, 1835, with Orin Baker as its first postmaster. On April 13, 1842 the office name was changed to Fairfield, after it's township. In 1998 Fairfield is a place where the residents hang out a signs to advertise their business; the home of a orchard/outlet store, the Fairfield Cemetery, and the Fairfield Baptist Church. It is a pleasant place to call home, quiet streets lined with maple trees.
The railroad came through this settlement and named it Balch on August 13, 1881; after several trips to Detroit and a payment of $500 a Balch storekeeper, John Britton, was able to get the railroad to rename the settlement Britton on April 13, 1888.
Storekeeper Albert L. Gilhouse became the first postmaster for this rural post office on June 22, 1898, the office closed June 30, 1903.
It received its name from its location by a stream, which had been so named for the quality of bean timber growing on its banks. Hiram Kidder, with his wife and family, from Yates County, NY, became the first settler in 1833. Beriah H. Lane was the principal landowner and was appointed postmaster on April 19, 1836, the town was renamed Lanesville. With common consent, in 1840, it took the name "Hudson", named for Dr. Daniel Hudson, from Geneva, NY, who was one of the first landowners in the town.
A station on the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern Railroad, the first postmaster was Frazey S. Johnson opening his office on Nov. 23, 1896 . The office closed Dec. 31, 1903. The 1921 Atlas and Plat map, shows Bimo just west of Weston.
Darius Comstock, father of the founder of Adrian, Addison Comstock, and fruit grower settled here in 1827. In 1831 he gave the land and promoted the building of a Quaker Meeting House, he gave land and promoted a Quaker school/seminary in 1848 (the school operated from 1850 until 1908, it was known as the Raisin Valley Seminary).
The first postmaster of this rural post office was James McCrillen. The office opened Feb. 24, 1843 and closed July 29, 1845.
William Kedzie, of Delphi, Delaware County, New York, entered the first land purchase, but Hervey Bliss was the first to actually move onto his lands, moving in during December of 1824, making Blissfield the second settlement in Lenawee County (see Illustrated History & Biographical Record of Lenawee County, Michigan by John I. Knapp & R.I. Bonner, published by the Times Printing Company, Adrian, Michigan, 1903.)
This station was at the junction of the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern Railroad and the Chicago & Canada Southern Railroad, 2 miles west of Blissfield opened in 1874.
Herman W. Gillett, a storekeeper, was the first postmaster of this rural post office in Rome Township. The post office opened Dec. 15, 1891 and operated until April 30, 1902. On the 1893 Atlas, in section 19 of Rome Township (due west of Rome Center, bordering on Rollin Township) there can be found property identified as belonging to the Levi Bonney Estate, with property owned by a Mrs. B. F. Gillett close by.
It was established in 1833 along Bean Creek. It was then discovered that there was another town by the same name and its new name became Morenci. There has been some controversy as to the history of the name Morenci, one story is that was an Indian name, the other story is that it comes from "Mount Morency" and that they changed the "y" to an "I". Two men have been given the most credit for the name, Simon D. Wilson and Jeptha Whitman.
The first land purchased of the government here was in 1823 by Austin Wing. He purchased two lots which covered the Brownville mill privilege and was located on Evans Creek. The settlement and the stream were named for the founders of Tecumseh, Musgrove Evans and Joseph W. Brown. It was less than a mile north of Tecumseh, was annexed by the village in 1838.
A station in Dover Township on the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern Railroad. Frank Potts began the village by building a store in 1887. Peter W. Gander became its first postmaster on Oct. 2, 1888.
The Indians had a village on Bean (now Tiffin) Creek. In 1824, Samuel Gregg became the first white settler. Most of the early settlers were from New York and they named the settlement after Canadaigua, NY. It was platted by Ira White in 1835 and given a stage coach post office in 1837.
Found on the 1916 Atlas, Cedar Point, located on the shores of Devil's Lake is treated by the publishers as a small village or town, but is in fact, little more than a subdivision, with less than 20 platted lots.
The Lake Shore & Michigan Southern Railroad gave it a station in 1878. Romig considers Chase's and Raisin Centre to be one and the same. However, on the 1928 plat map they appear as two separate towns;
A station on the Toledo & Western Electric Railway, found on a map in the work The Teeter & Wobble, Tales of the Toledo & Western Railway Co., by Bob Sell and Jim Findlay, June 1993, Blissfield Advance. The third station east of Adrian, between Adrian and Palmyra, Palmyra being the next station if you were riding east. Not in Romig's work.
According to Margaret Brighton in her work Lake Reflections, Chronicles of Devils and Round Lakes, Published by the Lakes Preservation League in 1996, this beach development on Devil's Lake has a history back to the original settler (before 1837). One of the first cottages built there was one put up in 1908 by Mr. Rooney of Toledo.
According to Romig, Clinton was named for DeWitt Clinton, father of the New York State's Erie Canal, on which many of the early settlers came to Michigan. John Terrill (also found spelled Tyrrel) looked at land in 1825 and in 1830 returned with Thaddeus Clark.
A station on the Toledo & Western Electric Railway, found on a map in the work The Teeter & Wobble, Tales of the Toledo & Western Railway Co., by Bob Sell and Jim Findlay, June 1993, Blissfield Advance. Found between Blissfield and Riga. Not in Romig's work.
During the political Campaign of 1840, nearly every voter in the village of Addison was a Whig, and coon skins (one of the Whig campaign emblems) were displayed at nearly every door. Thomas McCourtney gave Addison the nick-name Coon Town, it took nearly 50 years to outgrow this label, however Dan Cherry reports in his work on Addison, that some local residents still remember hearing the name. See also Manetau.
Both the 1921 and 1928 plat maps by the Adrian Daily Telegram, show Cowham just south of Cement City. It is not listed in Michigan Place Names by Romig. According to Dan Cherry, historian of Addison, Cowham was probably a station on the Cincinnati Northern Railroad station. Apparently named for William Cowham, owner of a cement company in Cement City (which he named). See also Woodstock.
See Kedzie's Grove...
Is said to have been named by Pottawattomi Chief Meteau (or Metteau). His tribe had inhabited the area and it was so named because his daughter who was a fine swimmer had drowned in the lake and her body was never recovered. Chief Meteau believed her spirit had been taken away by evil spirits. One of the first white men to visit the area was Musgrove Evans, a surveyor, who stayed there one night in 1826.
According to Romig, East Dover was first settled in 1836, given a post office from its location in Dover Township, with Levi H. Soper as its first postmaster, opening on March 8, 1837.
