#2 Baseball Closes Out Home Stand With San Francisco, Then Heads to UCLA
April 27, 2010
TEMPE, Ariz. -
Leading Off:
Following a 2-2 week which saw the Devils take two of three from Washington, Arizona State finished up its nine-game home stand with a two-game midweek series with San Francisco. After the pair with the Dons, ASU will head to Los Angeles for a three-game Pac-10 series with UCLA at Jackie Robinson Stadium that gets underway on Friday night.
Devils vs. San Francisco:
Arizona State leads the all-time series with the Dons 4-0. The two teams have not met since 1995, when the Sun Devils swept a three-game series at Packard Stadium. The only other meeting was in 1987 in Tempe.
Devils vs. UCLA:
Arizona State has played UCLA 169 times, with the Devils winning 107 times. Last season Arizona State took two of three from the Bruins in Tempe in the final games of the regular season.
Historical Start To A Season:
The 24 straight wins to open the 2010 campaign is the best start in school history. The previous record was set by the 1961 team, who began the year 21-0. The 24-game winning streak also set the mark for the second longest winning streak in school history. The school record for longest winning streak is 32, set in 1972.
Historical Start To A Coaching Career:
With Arizona State's 24-game winning streak to start the 2010 season, Head Coach Tim Esmay set a new standard for wins to start a career as Arizona State's head baseball coach. Jim Brock held the previous record for best start by a first year coach, going 12-0 to begin his ASU coaching career in 1972. Pat Murphy won the first five games of his first season in 1995. Bobby Winkles began his career 0-1-1 in 1959, the first year of varsity baseball at Arizona State.
Arizona/Washington Recap:
Brady Rodgers pitched well in his start against the Wildcats, allowing only three runs in 6.2 innings, but the offense was no help as ASU fell 4-2...Friday night belonged to Seth Blair, as he went a career-high eight innings, allowing only two runs in a 10-2 win over the Huskies. Drew Maggi and Deven Marrero combined to go 7-7 in the win...Saturday the bullpen couldn't hold a lead, as Washington scored three times on their way to a 9-4 victory...ASU won the series on Sunday thanks to the long ball, as the Devils homered three times in a 10-4 win. Drew Maggi led off the game with a round-tripper and Kole Calhoun was 3-3 with a homer to lead the Sun Devils to the series clinching win.
Double Up:
The Sun Devils were in a twin-killing mood on Sunday, turning five double plays against Washington to tie the school record. ASU had turned five double plays for other times (2008, 1999, 1989 and 1985).
Leaving the Yard:
ASU hit eight home runs during their three-game series with Washington after having hit eight total in their previous 12 games. Kole Calhoun and Riccio Torrez hit back-to-back blasts on Saturday night, the second time this season they have accomplished that feat. They also homered in consecutive at bats against Houston on March 19th. Calhoun and Torrez each homered twice in the series against the Huskies, tying Zack MacPhee for the team lead with six.
X Marks The Spot:
Catcher Xorge Carrillo pinch hit on Friday night against Washington, his first appearance since injuring his arm at Cal State Fullerton on March 16.
30 Win Threshold:
For the 48th straight season and 50th overall, Arizona State baseball has surpassed the 30 win total.
92nd Major Leaguer:
On Sunday April 11, former Sun Devil pitcher Mike Leake made his Major League Debut for the Cincinnati Reds, becoming the 92nd Arizona State baseball player to play in the Major Leagues. Leake, who was the 8th overall pick in the 2009 MLB Draft, became the 21st player since Major League Baseball began the draft in 1965 to make his big league debut without playing in the Minor Leagues. Leake is the first player to accomplish the feat since Xavier Nady in 2000, and the first pitcher since Darren Dreifort in 1994. He also becomes the third Sun Devil to do it, joining Eddie Bane (1973) and Bob Horner (1978).
We (Still) Like Ike:
On Monday April 19, former Sun Devil infielder/pitcher Ike Davis made his Major League Debut for the New York Mets, becoming the 93rd Arizona State baseball player to play in the Major Leagues. Davis, who was the 18th pick in the 2008 MLB Draft, becomes the second Sun Devil to make his Major League debut in 2010, joining Mike Leake. Davis was a three-time All-Pac-10 First Team selection and a Unanimous First Team All-American in 2008. Davis was 2-4 with an RBI in his debut.
Swipe Here:
Sophomore Drew Maggi has been a stolen base machine so far in 2010. Maggi has already swiped 23 bags, two more than last season. Maggi stole four in the win over Washington State on April 10 to tie the school record for stolen bases in a game. Maggi becomes only the eighth player in school history to steal 20+ bases in back-to-back seasons.
Sun Devils with 20+ Stolen Bases in Consecutive Seasons
John Ruedy- 25 in 1963, 31 in 1964
Ken Landreaux- 24 in 1975, 34 in 1976
Kevin Romine- 27 in 1981, 59 in 1982
Oddibe McDowell- 36 in 1983, 36 in 1984
Mike Kelly- 20 in 1990, 23 in 1991
Willie Bloomquist- 33 in 1998, 32 in 1999
Jason Kipnis- 24 in 2008, 27 in 2009
Drew Maggi- 21 in 2009, 23 in 2010
Rare Occurrence:
The 1-0 win over Oregon on April 1 was a rare occurrence indeed. The last time the Sun Devils were involved in a 1-0 ballgame was back in 2000, when they beat the Oregon State Beavers 1-0 on April 7.
Team Captains:
The 2010 Sun Devils will be led by three team captains. Senior Raoul Torrez is in his second season as a captain after serving with Mike Leake as co-captain last season. Joining Torrez will be seniors Josh Spence and Kole Calhoun. Torrez is in his fourth year with the program, while Spence and Calhoun are in their second.
Turn His Swag On:
On March 21 against Houston, Jordan Swagerty proved his worth to the Sun Devils yet again. The ASU closer had spent the first 8.2 innings behind the plate as the starting catcher, but when the Devils needed the door slammed on the Cougars, Swagerty was ready. He shed his catcher's gear, grabbed his glove and closed the door on the Cougars, picking up his seventh save of the season. It marked the first time since 2006 that an ASU player caught and pitched in the same inning. The last Sun Devil to do it was CJ Retherford, who did it against Prairie View A&M in the 2006 NCAA Tournament in Houston. Just for good measure, Swagerty did it again against USC on April 17, catching the first 8.2 innings before retiring the last batter and earning the save.
Stopper of the Year Watch List:
Sun Devil closer Jordan Swagerty has been named to the Midseason Watch List of the Stopper of the Year Award, given to the top relief pitcher in Division I baseball. Swagerty is one of four players from the Pac-10 on the 45-man list. Swagerty leads the Pac-10 with his 10 saves.
Man vs. Food Visits Packard:
Hit Travel Channel show Man vs. Food made a stop in Phoenix last week, and one of the spots they visited was Packard Stadium. Host Adam Richman threw out the first pitch Friday night vs. Houston, then filmed a segment for the show on the field on Saturday. Assistant Coach Ken Knutson made a special guest appearance in the episode, which is scheduled to air sometime in June.
Quality Time With A Hall of Famer:
Several Sun Devils got a thrill in Surprise, as they got a chance to meet Hall of Famer Nolan Ryan. Ryan, who is President of the Texas Rangers, was signing autographs for fans as the Devils took the field. He was in front of ASU's dugout, and several Sun Devils were able to shake his hand, pose for a photo or get an autograph before going out for pre-game stretching.
Coca-Cola Classic Tournament History:
With their 4-0 showing in the 8th Annual Coca-Cola Classic, Arizona State improved their all-time record in the tournament to 17-9. It was the first time since the inaugural year of the tournament that ASU went undefeated in three or more games (ASU was 2-0 in 2008). The 16 runs scored against UC Riverside, as well the 14-run margin of victory and the 22 hits in the 16-2 win, were all Coca-Cola Classic tournament records.
Players of the Week:
Sophomore Zack MacPhee was named the Pac-10 Player of the Week, The NCBWA's National Hitter of the Week and a Louisville Slugger National Player of the Week by Collegiate Baseball following opening weekend against Northern Illinois. It was the third straight season a Sun Devil has been named the Pac-10 Player of the Week following opening weekend. MacPhee also earned the award following the San Diego and Washington State games. Sophomore Jake Borup was named the Pac-10 Pitcher of the Week and a Louisville Slugger National Player of the Week by Collegiate Baseball following the Cal series. It was the first weekly honor of Borup's career. Drew Maggi was named the Pac-10 Player of the Week following the Oregon series, the first conference honor of his career.
Another ASU Hall of Famer:
Alan Bannister will become the sixth Sun Devil in the College Baseball Hall of Fame during Fourth of July weekend in Lubbock, Texas. Bannister was a member of the 8-man 2010 Hall of Fame class that was announced by the College Baseball Foundation. Bannister played three seasons at ASU from 1970 to 1972, earning First Team All-American honors in 1971 and 1972. The shortstop was a career .355 hitter and was the #1 pick in the 1973 January MLB Draft. He played 12 seasons in the Majors.
Triple The Fun:
On March 9, 1963, the Sun Devils hit six triples in a 12-0 win over Utah State, setting a school record. That record stood for 47 years, until ASU tied it on February 20 during the second game of the doubleheader with Northern Illinois. In ASU's 26-1 win in seven innings, the Devils collected six three-baggers, tying the school record. The NCAA record is seven, set in 1976 and tied in 1992. ASU had not had more than four triples in a game since 1975. The six triples also tied the Pac-10 record, set in 1945. So far in 2010, ASU has tripled 26 times. The school record is 58, set in 1970. Zack MacPhee has already collected 11 triples so far this season after getting only one all of last year. The school record for triples in a season is 13 by Alan Bannister in 1971.
Exhibition With Meiji University (Japan):
On March 2, the Sun Devils faced Meiji University of Japan in an exhibition game which the Devils won 9-1. It was ASU's first international exhibition since March 11, 1999 when they faced Aomori of Japan.

2/21/80- Taiyo (Japan)
2/27/80- Hanshin (Japan)
3/17/78- Waseda (Japan)
Family Ties:
Arizona State baseball has become a true family affair in recent years. Junior OF Matt Newman has Maroon and Gold in his blood, as his father, Randy, was a pitcher for the Sun Devils in 1981 and 1982, winning 15 career games and the 1981 National Championship. Last season, Matt and Randy joined a select list as a father-son combo who both played in the College World Series...Sophomore OF Johnny Ruettiger is the nephew of Rudy Ruettiger, the former Notre Dame football player who had a movie about his life made...Senior Danny Duffy is the brother of former Sun Devil and Major Leaguer Chris Duffy, who played for ASU in 2001...Freshman catcher Kyle Arnsberg is the son of former Major Leaguer and current Toronto Blue Jays pitching coach Brad Arnsberg...Freshman shortstop Deven Marrero is the cousin of Chris Marrero, a rising star in the Washington Nationals' system.
Brotherly Love:
Last season, the Sun Devils boasted a set of brothers who started next to each other in the infield, marking the first time in school history that brothers started next to each other on the diamond. In Omaha, when Raoul Torrez manned the hot corner for the Devils and his brother Riccio handled first base, they became the first brother duo since 2004 to start a game in the College World Series. The Torrez brothers are the fifth set of brothers to suit up for the same Sun Devil team. They are joined this season by Drew and Beau Maggi, who become the sixth brother tandem to play for ASU. Drew enters his sophomore season, while his brother Beau begins his freshman year. The other Sun Devil brothers to play on the same teams are Kevin and Pat Dukes (1980-81), Dale and Larry Eiler (1976-78), John and Tom Sain (1973) and Brett and Greg Bordes (2005-06).
The Mayor of Omaha:
Kole Calhoun had a memorable trip to Omaha for the 2009 College World Series, earning All-CWS honors thanks to his .563 average over the four games. Calhoun drove in 11 runs, slugged 1.250 and hit three home runs, including a grand slam. He became only the fourth Sun Devil to ever hit a grand slam at the College World Series, joining Sal Bando (1965), Bob Horner (1978) and Michael Collins (1998). Calhoun quickly became a fan favorite at Rosenblatt Stadium, collecting his own cheering section in left field.
School Ties:
Many players on the ASU roster are quite familiar with one another. The Sun Devils have five student-athletes who all attended Brophy Prep in Phoenix. Raoul and Riccio Torrez, Drew and Beau Maggi and Matt Newman all played on the Brophy baseball team. Josh Spence, Jimmy Patterson and Xorge Carrillo all played for Central Arizona in 2008, while Patterson and Carrillo also played together at McClintock High School in Tempe, along with Daniel Milner. Josh Moody and Zack MacPhee both played at Sandra Day O'Connor in Phoenix.
Double Duty:
Sophomore OF Brandon Magee is no stranger to ASU athletics, playing linebacker for the Sun Devil football team. Magee joins Mike Jones as recent Sun Devils who played both football and baseball. Jones played football from 2005 to 2008, while splitting time with baseball from 2006 to 2008. Magee recorded 34 tackles in 2009, including seven for loss with two QB sacks. He also intercepted a pass while playing in all 12 games. Magee collected his first career hit against UC Riverside in Surprise.
In The Dugout:
Arizona State features a new coaching staff for the 2010 season. Former Sun Devil infielder Tim Esmay takes over head coaching duties after spending the previous five seasons as an assistant coach, including the last three as assistant head coach. Ken Knutson will handle the pitching coach duties in his first season at ASU following 17 years as the head coach at Washington. Travis Jewett begins his first season with the Sun Devils after coaching the past five seasons at Washington State. Former Sun Devil All-American and Major Leaguer Mike Benjamin begins his first season as an assistant coach at his alma mater.
1,000 Times Yes:
With its 8-0 win over Northern Illinois on February 19, Arizona State recorded its 1,000th victory at Packard Stadium. Winkles Field-Packard Stadium at Brock Ballpark has been the home field of the Sun Devils since 1974, with the exception of the 2002 season when ASU played at Hohokam Park in Mesa during Packard renovations. ASU has compiled a home record of 1,023-271-1 at Packard Stadium.
Back In Uniform:
With Mike Benjamin joining the coaching staff, ASU now boasts two former Sun Devils on the 2010 coaching staff. Tim Esmay and Benjamin were teammates at ASU in 1986 and 1987, helping the Devils to a combined 74-55 record and a berth in 1987 College World Series. Benjamin was an All-American and All-Pac-10 performer in 1987, becoming a third round pick of the San Francisco Giants. He played 13 seasons in the Major Leagues.
Pac-10 Picks:
The Sun Devils were picked to win the Pac-10 Championship by the Pac-10 coaches for the second straight year. ASU received seven of the nine first place votes. This is the third time in school history Arizona State has been picked to win the conference, joining 2007 and 2009.
Leader of the Pac:
Since the 2000 season, the Arizona State Sun Devils have been the most consistent program in the Pac-10 conference. Since 2000, ASU leads the Pac-10 in wins (466), conference wins (168), NCAA Tournament appearances (10), Top 25 finishes (10), All-Americans (29), draft picks (78) and First Team All-Pac-10 players (47). The Devils have won four Pac-10 titles since 2000, including the last three.
Feeling The Draft:
There are 22 members of the 2010 Sun Devils who have had their name called during the annual Major League Baseball draft, including Josh Spence and Raoul Torrez, who both were drafted last season but opted to return to school. Spence, Merrill Kelly and Xorge Carrillo have each been drafted twice.
Up Next:
The Sun Devils host the Arizona Wildcats in a midweek non-conference game on Tuesday before taking the weekend off for final exams. ASU returns to action on May 10 when the host BYU in the first game of a two-game midweek series.

A new Memorial Sloan Kettering study has identified one of the proteins fueling the spread of some breast cancers, and researchers hope their findings will lead to the development of new diagnostic tools and drugs.
Cancer experts have long known that virtually all cancers – regardless of the location of the primary tumor – have the ability to metastasize, or spread, to distant parts of the body. The lungs, bones, and liver are some of the more common sites of metastasis. But little is known about the biological mechanisms that fuel this spread of cancer cells.
Now, a team of scientists from Memorial Sloan Kettering reports on recent findings from research in mice that provide new understanding about why breast cancer might spread to the lung. The investigators found that some breast cancer cells are dormant – meaning the cells are not dividing and are clinically undetectable – upon migrating to the lung, but may eventually start dividing to generate a new tumor. Their reactivation occurs as the cells produce and secrete a protein called Coco. This protein shuts down BMP, a protein that is produced by healthy lung cells and serves as an antitumor signal, preventing cancer growth.
Preferred Metastasis Sites
In laboratory experiments, the researchers stopped breast cancer cells from producing Coco and showed that this caused the cells to become dormant once more. The investigators note that these breast cancers rarely spread to the brain or bone – organs that do not produce the antitumor protein BMP.
"These findings suggest that different cancers may have preferred metastasis sites, which are dictated by the proteins its tumor cells produce. It's possible that each organ has its own antitumor protein similar to BMP," said cell biologist Filippo Giancotti, who led the study published in the August 17 issue of the journal Cell.Back to top
Next Steps
"Eventually, we may be able to identify and test for Coco-like tumor proteins, which could help predict if, when, and in what organ a cancer might metastasize," he said. "In the future, it could also lead to the production of drugs that suppress Coco-like tumor proteins and possibly help prevent metastasis."
The next step for Giancotti's team is to develop a way to block Coco's ability to inhibit BMP, with the goal of developing a therapy to prevent the spread of cancer from the breast to the lung. One way to achieve this may be through the generation of monoclonal antibodies, which are proteins engineered to attach to other proteins and block their function.Back to top

I am a breast cancer survivor - 0 level. My Oncologist suggested that I should not drink wine except once in a while or on ocassion. I am allergic to alcohol anyway. But I have a friend who is also a cancer survivor who drinks a glass or 2 EVERYDAY because the media emphasizes how wine is good for your heart etc... She was never advised this and is even active in helping cancer survivors keep surviving. How do I prove that alcohol is not as beneficial as the media sells the idea? Like religion, I'm beginning to doubt it's bad consequences. Shouldn't there be more anti-alcohol cancer related broadcast out there?

Danish textile design company Kvadrat once again calls upon the talents of Belgian designer Raf Simons to assist in designing a collection of textiles for the ongoing Spring/Summer 2014 season. Shown at this year's Milan Design Week, the two unveiled a series of diverse textiles designed to both stand alone and complement one another. Eleven core textile designs were chosen for use in a wide range of interiors, mixing and matching various weaves and textures. To show off the pieces, the two outfitted both classic and contemporary pieces of furniture in the textiles.

This article was reported by Medical Xpress.
Medical Xpress reported on a study of communication and compliance between patients of different races and ethnicity and healthcare providers. M. Barton Laws, assistant professor of health services policy and practice in the Brown University School of Public Health, and colleagues analyzed recorded office visits between 45 healthcare providers and 404 patients, including 245 black and 59 Hispanic individuals. Researchers used the Generalized Medical Interaction Analysis, which separates the dialogue into speech-based units called "utterances" and classifies each utterance's topic or subject matter.
Results showed that black patients spoke less to providers and their interaction had more provider dominance. Providers asked Hispanics fewer open-ended questions. Also, providers' dialogue was more about adherence with minorities than with white patients, regardless of patient adherence history. Doctors issued more directives to minorities than to whites and did not discuss more problem-solving options than for whites.
The full report, "Provider-Patient Communication About Adherence to Anti-retroviral Regimens Differs by Patient Race and Ethnicity," was published online in the journal AIDS and Behavior (2014; doi: 10.1007/s10461-014-0697-z).

(Reuters) - The inaugural FedExCup-style 'Final Series' that tees off in Shanghai this week will give the European Tour a much-needed shot in the arm after a difficult year, said twice major winner Jose Maria Olazabal.
While the rival U.S. PGA Tour goes from strength to strength, the European circuit has struggled for sponsors and been badly hampered by the absence of headline attractions like Rory McIlroy, Justin Rose, Luke Donald and Lee Westwood.
With the majority of the triumphant 2012 Ryder Cup team basing themselves on the other side of the Atlantic this season, chief executive George O'Grady has had an awkward task in selling the European Tour brand.
The 'Final Series', similar to the U.S. circuit's end-of-season FedExCup extravaganza, is a sequence of four events worth more than $30 million in total and starts on Thursday with the BMW Masters in China.
"I think we are going to see four great tournaments," 2012 Ryder Cup captain Olazabal told Reuters in an interview.
"It's very important for the European Tour. We are going to see the top players coming back to play in these events and it's a good attraction for the tour, for the fans, the players and for media attention."
Shanghai also stages the WGC-Champions Tournament next week before the Final Series builds to a crescendo with the Turkish Open featuring world number one Tiger Woods and finally the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai in the middle of November.
"This is another idea to keep the players on their toes," said 1994 and 1999 U.S. Masters champion Olazabal. "It's important for 2014 too, especially as that is a Ryder Cup year.
"If the players do well in this lucrative stretch of tournaments they will have done most of the job in terms of qualifying for the team.
"The players are conscious of that and you're going to see them trying very hard," said Olazabal at the Nespresso Trophy Final for amateur golfers held in San Sebastian, Spain where the company was announced as the official coffee supplier for the 2014 Ryder Cup.
Olazabal believes the tour is experiencing a financial trough mainly due to the economic downturn in Europe.
"The whole of Europe is going through a tough time and I'm pretty sure when we see signs of economic recovery the tour will go back to its origins and will get stronger again," said the 47-year-old Spaniard.
"That's the reason the tour is having a tough time getting sponsors."
After spending almost two years planning and fretting over his Ryder Cup captaincy duties, Olazabal is back focusing on his own game again.
He played in 23 tour events this season, achieving just one top-10 finish when he tied for fifth place at the Irish Open in June, and may turn to world number three Phil Mickelson's coach Butch Harmon in a bid to climb the rankings again.
"My game this year was off," said the world number 419. "I worked hard and I didn't really get the results I wanted.
"My season is over now but you know me, I will keep on trying and see if I can get better next season. I'll be working mainly on the driver during the winter because my accuracy off the tee was very poor this year.
"I haven't decided who I'll be working with yet. My first target is to start working on my own in a couple of weeks' time.
"If I don't see any results quickly then maybe I'll have to go and pay Butch a visit."

The owner of Body Elite Fitness in Houma, LA, shot his wife before taking his own life, according to media outlets.
Police arrived at the scene Wednesday morning at the home of Larry Blanchard, the owner of three Body Elite gyms, and his wife, Nicole, who had communicated with authorities by phone with only beeps, since her injuries prevented her from speaking.
Larry Blanchard, 57, was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Nicole, 30, who was shot in the face, underwent surgery at a nearby hospital before she was transferred to a hospital in New Orleans, where she was listed in critical condition.
One media outlet reported that police had never before been called to the Blanchards' home for a domestic disturbance. Larry Blanchard's mother said her son had suffered through depression since he lost a son in an automobile accident in 1990. Larry Blanchard texted his mother on Dec. 30 indicating that he planned to take his own life because of marital discord, according to a local report. Court records showed that Nicole Blanchard was his fifth wife.
After the shootings, the Body Elite clubs were closed until further notice.

Ante Markovic's testimony
Ante Markovic's testimony by Novi List
'Milošević and Tuđman admitted they had agreed to divide Bosnia-Herzegovina'
'Slobodan Milošević and Franjo Tuđman confirmed to me personally that at their meeting in Karađorđevo in March 1991 they agreed to divide Bosnia-Herzegovina between Serbia and Croatia', declared Ante Marković on 23 October 2003 at the trial of Slobodan Milošević in The Hague, at which he was appearing as a witness for the prosecution.
Ante Marković, the last Yugoslav premier, stated: 'I was informed about the subject of their discussion in Karađorđevo, at which Milošević and Tuđman agreed to divide Bosnia-Herzegovina between Serbia and Croatia, and to remove me because I was in their way.' He said that he met afterwards with Slobodan Milošević, then president of Serbia, in Belgrade, and with the late Croatian president Franjo Tuđman in Zagreb, and that he told them openly that he knew about their accord. 'They both confirmed that they had agreed on dividing Bosnia-Herzegovina. Milošević admitted this immediately, while Tuđman took more time', said Ante Marković in reply to questioning by chief prosecutor Geoffrey Nice.
According to him, both the late Croatian president and the defendant Milošević believed that Bosnia-Herzegovina was an artificial creation and the Bosniaks an invented nation, since in Tuđman's view they were 'converted Catholics' and in Milošević's 'converted Orthodox'. The two also believed that the division of Bosnia-Herzegovina would not cause a war, since the Serbs and the Croats together were in a majority; they envisaged an enclave for the Bosniaks. They expected to receive support from Europe, since the latter did not wish to have a Muslim state. Tuđman also told him that history would repeat itself in that Bosnia would again fall 'with a whisper', the witness said.
Marković affirmed that he warned both leaders that this would lead to war, deaths, refugees and the transformation of Bosnia into a Palestine; that blood would freely flow; and he told them that he himself would fight against it.
Marković stated that he told this to the Bosniak leader Alija Izetbegović, who gave him some secretly made tapes of conversations between Milošević and Radovan Karadžić, concerning the arming of the Bosnian Serbs by way of the JNA as part of the so-called RAM [framework] Plan. Marković laid this information before his government, but the Slovene admiral Stane Brovet insisted that the JNA had nothing to do with it, stated Marković.
Ante Marković, who was prime minister of Yugoslavia from March 1989 until his resignation in December 1991, said that this was the first time in the past twelve years that he had made public his views on these events.
In his subsequent testimony against the former president of FRY, Yugoslavia's last premier Ante Marković said that during the 1990s Milošević was 'obviously striving to create a Greater Serbia. He said one thing and did another. He said that he was fighting for Yugoslavia, while it was clear that he was fighting for a Greater Serbia, even though he never said so personally to me.'
Testifying about military activities in 1991, he described the attack on Slovenia of 26 June for which some hold him responsible. He insisted that he was not responsible for it, and that as prime minister he had no control over the JNA. The Slovenian president Milan Kučan informed him about the attack by telephone, while the Yugoslav minister of defence Veljko Kadijević told him: 'Since we knew you wouldn't agree, we didn't bother to ask you.'
Marković also described his participation in the peace talks at The Hague in September 1991, during the time of the shelling of Dubrovnik. The witness stated that when he asked Milošević how he could shell a city like Dubrovnik, he got the reply that 'no one is shelling Dubrovnik'; and when he turned to Tuđman, the latter replied: 'you heard what Milošević said'. 'Tuđman was not against the shelling of Dubrovnik and Vukovar, if this added to the argument for independence', was Marković's view. He described in the courtroom also the missile attack on the Ban's Court [the Croatian president's office] in October 1991, during which quite by chance he was not killed together with Tuđman and Stipe Mesić (who was then a member of the Yugoslav presidency).
The prosecutor asked whether their meeting had lasted long enough for information about it to be sent outside Croatia and for the planes to arrive. Marković replied in the affirmative, saying that: 'it lasted four and a half hours, and they sent their fastest planes, most likely MIG-29s, which fired their missiles from the great height of 14-15 kilometres.' Marković went on: 'A missile hit the dining room, and if we had stayed a little longer at our lunch I should not be here to testify.'
In a brief cross-examination Milošević tried to prove that it was Marković who sent the JNA against Slovenia, quoting the minutes of a meeting at which he and Milan Kučan asserted this; but Marković denied it. Prior to his appearance in the courtroom, Marković was registered as protected witness C-62.

Patch Tuesday: Microsoft Updates IE, RDP, Certificate Tool
Microsoft released seven security bulletins addressing 26 unique vulnerabilities in Microsoft Windows, Internet Explorer, and other applications as part of June's Patch Tuesday release on June 12. The company separately announced changes to its automatic updater to block untrusted security certificates. Microsoft updated the updater tool after researchers at Kaspersky Lab uncovered how the Flame malware had gamed the process.
Of the three "critical" and four "important" bulletins, security experts agreed that administrators should prioritize the Internet Explorer and Remote Desktop Protocol updates. The Internet Explorer update (MS12-037) affects versions 6, 7, 8, and 9, and "as usual it's the one to patch first," said Andrew Storms, director of security operations at nCircle. Limited exploits for this IE bug have already been observed in the wild, according to Microsoft.
The flaw in Remote Desktop (MS12-036), while serious, is somewhat limited in scope, as RDP is not enabled by default on Windows systems. It is similar to the previous RDP vulnerability, which could be exploited without authentication and had been patched in March (MS12-020). While there were initial concerns about widespread attacks targeting RDP, that has not happened yet. Businesses who have turned on RDP to have remote access on systems need to act to patch the remote code execution vulnerability, which could be exploited if an attacker sends a sequence of specially crafted RDP packets.
"While any RDP vulnerability rated as "exploit code likely" by Microsoft should be taken very seriously, there is still more of a chance that the average IT environment will continue to be hit by drive-by client application style exploits," said Marc Maiffret, CTO at BeyondTrust.
It's worth noting that most businesses who didn't need RDP but had it enabled on their machines have most likely turned it off after the March scare, making the window of attack for this vulnerability even narrower, according to Marcus Carey, a security researcher at Rapid7.
Remaining Patches
The final critical bulletin closes a .NET Framework bug (MS12-038) that would allow an attacker to exploit a user's computer if that user viewed a specially crafted webpage. Two important bulletins (MS12-041, MS12-042) for Microsoft Windows closed escalation of privileges vulnerabilities.
Attack types like DLL preloading and elevation of privilege have become more common than remote code execution, noted Tyler Ranguly, technical manager of research and development at nCircle. "We see the remaining bulletins every month and, honestly, I'm getting tired of them," he said.
In the preview notification released last week, Microsoft originally planned to patch important vulnerabilities in Microsoft Office and Visual Basic this month. Instead, the company swapped out Office to fix a TrueType Font flaw in Microsoft Lync (MS12-039), an instant messaging platform for enterprises, which could result in remote code execution. Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 (MS12-040) is another enterprise-focused application being updated this month.
Untrusted Certificates
Microsoft also announced a new automatic updater feature which would allow Windows to specifically flag certificates as untrustworthy. Systems with this feature would check Microsoft servers daily for updated information about certificates that have been revoked and update its local certificate store immediately, Trustworthy Computing's Angela Gunn wrote on the Microsoft Security Response blog.
This way, if an application using a revoked certificate tries to run on the Windows system, the operating system would be able to block it immediately. In the past, revoking certificates required a manual update.
Microsoft will also be releasing a change to how Windows manages certificates that have RSA keys of less than 1024 bits in length, Gunn said. More details are available on Microsoft's PKI blog.
Microsoft has been "super busy" in the last few weeks, according to Storms, who noted that the company worked on and delivered a "normal patch Tuesday," while releasing a series of emergency patches to address vulnerabilities exploited by the Flame malware.

After a long season rehabbing elbow strains, two of the Padres top minor league pitching prospects are getting closer to finishing the 2012 season on the mound.
Right-hander Casey Kelly and left-hander Robbie Erlin each made rehab starts this week for the Padres of the Arizona Rookie League.
Erlin made his last official start for Double-A San Antonio on May 12. Kelly made his last official start exactly a month earlier for Triple-A Tucson.
"When you are in this situation, it's a tough process," said Kelly, the 22-year-old who came to the Padres with first baseman Anthony Rizzo in the 2010 trade that sent Adrian Gonzalez to Boston. "At times, I've been kind of down.
"But you can't pitch when you are hurt. All these things are out of my control. They took a conservative approach with my injury to be sure. The last four weeks have been really good."
Kelly made his third Arizona Rookie League appearance Saturday night, facing 15 hitters over four shutout innings. He gave up two hits, didn't walk a hitter and struck out two.
Erlin, 21, who came to the Padres as part of the trade that sent Mike Adams to the Texas Rangers, said he is "close to being 100 percent." He allowed two runs on four hits in his first time on the mound with the Arizona Padres on Thursday night. He threw his fastball, curve and changeup but not his slider during a 40-pitch outing.
"I've got a few more games here before I get back to (Double-A) San Antonio."
While three other Padres pitchers – Cory Luebke, Joe Wieland and Juan Pablo Oramas – had elbow reconstruction surgery this season, the post-injury MRIs on Kelly and Erlin showed no damage to the ulnar collateral ligament.
Kelly's stay on the disabled list was prolonged by a nerve issue. Erlin suffered tendinitis and inflammation in the elbow in addition to the stretching of the UCL.
"I was worried about the possibility of 'Tommy John' surgery before the MRI," said Erlin. "Although I knew the rehab was going to be long, the results of the MRI gave me peace of mind. But I felt pain after a couple stress tests, which pushed me back."
Given the medical status of the rest of the starting pitchers on the Padres 40-man roster, Kelly and Erlin would probably be pitching for the Padres right now if they hadn't suffered their strains.
"The thought of missing that opportunity crossed my mind," said Erlin. "But there's really no reason to think about it because there's nothing I could have done different. Right now, I have to get healthy. I felt great after pitching Thursday.
Around The Farm
Triple-A Tucson (43-70): 1B Matt Clark hit three homers last week to give him 21 on the season, the third-highest total in the Pacific Coast League.
Double-A San Antonio (20-18, 50-61):Before allowing four runs on five hits and four walks in 2 1/3 innings Saturday night, RHP Keyvius Sampson, 21, the Padres fourth-round pick of the 2009 draft, was 2-0 in his previous two starts with a 1.54 ERA. Over 11 2/3 innings in those two starts, Sampson allowed three runs (two earned) on 12 hits with no walks and 10 strikeouts. RF Rymer Liriano is 10-for-16 with a homer and six RBI in his last four games.
Single-A Lake Elsinore (22-19, 58-53): 2B Cory Spangenberg has returned to action after missing almost five weeks with concussion-like symptoms. He had a concussion in June, then suffered more symptoms after diving for a ball in his second game back. He is 2-for-12 since his return.
Single-A Fort Wayne (24-16, 55-55): LHP Frank Garces is 7-1 over his last 10 starts with a 1.80 ERA and 51 strikeouts in 50 innings.
Short-Season Single-A Eugene (6-5, 30-18): LHP Christopher Nunn, a 24th-round pick in June out of Lipscomb (Tenn.) University, has yet to allow an earned run over 14 appearances covering 19 1/3 innings. The 6-foot-5, 200-pound Nunn has allowed eight hits and 10 walks with 27 strikeouts.

That is why the computer has trouble booting with that driver and the HVR-1500 card selected.I also tried copying the relevant code and putting it into the DViCO FusionHDTV7 Dual Express area to see if that worked. I had the same results as when I tried loading the card as a HVR-1500. I cannot get any signal from the card that way.

I have been so surprised with the results! I have been catching fluke non-stop since June. This past weekend (8/3-8/4/13) I did well with stripers to 20" while fluke fishing. I should tie a rock on instead of a jig since everything is on the sand eel on the dropper. I can't wait for the fall!

James Suddarth – Application for Bounty Land, Part 2
Posted by dwsuddarth on 29 September 2009
In this post, I continue transcribing the bounty land application files of James Suddarth. James fought in the War of 1812 and sent in three letters of application for bounty land for his service. This is a transcription of one of two which was completed on 6-November-1850. This one is for service beginning 18-August-1813, for three months.
State of Indiana
Crawford County
On this Sixth day of November A.D. one thousand Eight hundred and and fifty personally appeared before me a Justice of the Peace within and for the County and State aforesaid, James Suddarth, aged fifty five years a resident of Crawford County in the State of Indiana, who being duly sworn according to law, declares that he is the indentical James Suddarth, who was a Corporal in the Company commanded by Captain Jesse Coffee in the Sixth Regiment of Mounted men Commanded by Col. ______ Davenport in the war with Great Britain declared by the United States on the 18th day of June 1812 that he volunteered at Casey Court House in Casey County in the State of Kentucky on or about the eighteenth day of August A.D. One thousand Eight hundred and thirteen for the term of three months and continued in actual service in said war the term of about two months and a half and did not receive a written discharge. He declares that he remained in said company on their return from from the battle ground of the Thames in Upper Canada until said Company reached Nicholasville in the State of Kentucky (near Lexington) where he was compelled to remain by sickness for a time and that he was not present with his Company when the members received their discharges – that he subsequently called at the residence of said Captain in order to obtain his certificate of discharge at two different times but in consequence of the abscence at each time of said Captain he did did not obtain a certificate of discharge – he further declares that he knows of no val'd reason why he was not entitled to an honorable discharge – as will appear by the muster rolls of said Company.
He makes this declaration for the purpose of obtaining the bounty land in which he may be entitled under the "Act granting bounty land to certain officers and soldiers who have been engaged in the military service of the United States" passed September 28th 1850
James Suddarth
Sworn to and subscribed before me the day and year above written. And I hereby certify that I believe the said James Suddarth to be the identical man who served as aforesaid and that he is of the age above stated
John G Cooper (seal)
Justice of the Peace
State of Indiana
County of Crawford I Cassimer W Kindle Clerk of the Crawford Circuit Court do hereby Certify that John G Cooper before whom the within affidavit was made is and was on the sixth day of November 1850 an acting Justice of the Peace duly Commissioned and qualified and that all of his official acts as such is and ought to be full faith and Credit as such
In Witness of which I Cassimer W Kindle Clerk of the Crawford Circuit Court Subscribe my name and affix the seal of said court at Leavenworth this 13th day of November AD 1850
Cassimer W Kindle (signature)
From both parts of the application made on 6-November-1850, it appears that James originally volunteered at Lexington, Kentucky on 1-January-1813 and served for 2 months and 29 days as a pack horse driver in Captain James Higgins' Company. He received an honorable discharge on 29-March-1813 in Dayton, Ohio. He then volunteered a second time in Casey County, Kentucky on 18-August-1813. He served in Captain Jesse Coffee's Company and participated in the Battle of the Themes, in Canada. Upon returning to Kentucky with his Company, he fell ill at Nicholasville, where he had to remain. He did not receive his discharge, even after attempting to contact his Captain at home.
A couple of things come to mind here for further research. First, if he enlisted at Lexington on the first of January, was he living in or near Lexington at this time? Second, he fell ill at Nicholasville, which is near Lexington. There is no mention of him staying at a hospital. While he may have stayed at a hospital, it is also possible that he stayed with family.
I have not found much to help lead me to my original research objective of finding my 3rd great grandfather's parents yet. However, I believe James to be a very important person in that search. I believe he is closely related, and therefore may eventually lead me to where I wish to go. Whenever research on a particular person dries up, researching collateral relatives, like James, can be of great help.

Brett Smith's Big Game Earns Him Conference Honor
University of Wyoming Junior Quarterback Brett Smith set two school records in last Saturday's 56-23 Cowboy win at Air Force. For his efforts, Smith has been named the Mountain West Conference Offensive Player of the Week. He earns the accolade for the sixth time in his career at UW.
Smith accounted for a school-record 511 yards of total offense in Wyoming's win. He broke the previous Cowboy single-game record of 482 yards, set by Josh Wallwork in 1996. His 511 yards of total offense, which ranks as the fourth-best single-game performance in MW history, is the second-best total in the FBS this year – second only to Texas A&M's Johnny Manziel's 562 yards versus Alabama.
He also completed a personal-best 85.4 percent of his passes (35-of-41) for 373 yards and four touchdowns, and had a pass efficiency rating of 193.98. The junior also rushed for 138 yards and one TD, averaging 8.6 yards per carry on 16 carries. He is only the second player in MW history (UNLV's Omar Clayton in 2007) to register 300 passing and 100 rushing yards in the same game.
He guided Wyoming to 622 yards of total offense as a team, which is the most by any Mountain West team this season.
Nevada Junior Defensive End Brock Hekking earned MW Defensive Player of the Week honors, while the Special Teams honor went to Logan Yunker, UNLV's Sophomore punter.
In addition to the MW honor, Brett Smith received national recognition on Monday by being named the Co-National Performer of the Week by College Football Performance Awards. Smith received the honor following his performance versus Air Force this past Saturday. He shared this week's honor with Pittsburgh quarterback Tom Savage.

Girl Meets Bulgaria has served me well since I started blogging nearly three years ago. But as with many other aspects of my life recently, it's time for some major changes.
Next time you hear from me, things will be quite different – new name, new URL, new theme…

Compared to the first day's MAX keynote, the second day's keynote was much more focused on hard-core development but also a lot less exciting and with fewer major announcements. The only acquisition that was announced was Nitobi, which brings the PhoneGap development platform into Adobe's portfolio. PhoneGap is a popular way to publish HTML5 and JavaScript-built applications to most major mobile platforms, including iOS, Android, BlackBerry and Windows Mobile. I bet it will be rolled into either Dreamweaver—which has had similar frameworks like jQuery Mobile integrated with it—or the newly-announced Adobe Creative Cloud, where it could end up as another of its creative services (along with TypeKit and others). They did say that PhoneGap will remain an open-source project available to everyone.
According to the keynote, Adobe's intention is to "bet on HTML5″ while "doubling down on Flash," which I expected. Some people, particularly Apple fanboys, expect Adobe to kill Flash—but I don't think it will happen anytime soon if at all, and right now HTML5 can't duplicate all of Flash's capabilities so I don't think it should. Interestingly, Ben Forta—Adobe's Director of Platform Evangelism—asked for a show of hands of who has built an HTML5 application before, and almost no one raised their hand.
Flash Player 11 and Adobe AIR 3 were also announced, which focus on games, rich media and data-driven applications—all things that are not easy to implement with HTML5 right now. I'm particularly interested in 3D and gaming capabilities that are being built into Flash Player 11, and a demo of the Nissan Juke website—which features an online driving game—shows some good things with the new technology.
Other announcements
- Adobe Edge, currently in beta, has reached the third preview iteration and has some new features including loops and hyperlinks. The beta has been downloaded over 150,000 times.
- The new ThemeRoller product was demonstrated, showing how jQuery Mobile themes can be built with a user interface. This is also something that can be built into Dreamweaver, but at this point it looks like it's generating a lot of CSS code. Until ThemeRoller can generate lean code, web developers will criticize Adobe for bloated code.
- CSS Shaders was demoed for the crowd. CSS Shaders is a CSS3 module that Adobe has contributed to the W3C for inclusion in the general CSS3 spec, and it leverages current PixelBender technology to bend and warp HTML elements. The presenter had a very nice demo of a live page curl on an HTML element and also on a live video element. CSS3 is where Adobe can provide the most benefit to developers, because CSS is pervasive across the web and it's not tied to a particular product.
- Another CSS3 module presented by Adobe is CSS Regions, which uses CSS to generate text columns and live text wrap. This is already implemented in Google's Chromium (a beta version of Chrome) and Internet Explorer 10.
The last presenter, Epic Games' CEO Tim Sweeney, showed something that means a lot to me personally: Unreal Tournament 3 running in Flash. I played a lot of Unreal Tournament 2004 years ago and Unreal Engine 3 (UE3) is now able to run on Flash—how cool is that? According to the press release, Flash Player 11 has up to 1,000 times faster 2D and 3D rendering than Flash Player 10, which sounds…unreal. If Flash can gain a foothold as a runtime for top-of-the-line games, Adobe can pivot the technology into a data-centric and graphics-centric product and leave web graphics and rich Internet experiences to HTML5, which is what I think will happen one way or another.

However, I believe that some tradeoffs are just too intrusive: you should not have to choose between low latency for small messages or progress by interrupt for large ones, especially when you can have both at the same time. > I think it is fairly easy to show that overlapping and polling (or any > kind of communication completion synchronization) are not orthogonal.

I can show you codes where people sprinkled some MPI_Test()s in some loops. They don't poll to death, just a little from time to time to improve overlap by improving progression. They poll and they overlap. They could as well block and not overlap. polling/blocking and overlap/not are not linked. Interrupts are useful to get overlap without help from the application, but it's not required to overlap. > There is an important point here that needs to be clarified: when I say > "polling" library, I assume that this library does both: polling > completion synchronization and polling progress. There is not much room > to define here these but I am sure MPI developers know what they are. I think this is where we don't understand each other. For me, polling means no interrupts. Wherever you progress in the context of MPI calls or in the context of a progression thread, you pay for the same CPU cyles. If the application is providing CPU cycles to the MPI lib at the right time, you can overlap perfectly without wasting cycles. > Here is a third one. Writing your code for overlapping with non-blocking > MPI calls and segmentation/pipelining, testing the code, and not seeing > any benefit of it. Yes. This is very true. But if it's not worse than with blocking, they should stick with non-blocking, even if it's bigger and more confusing. > stage I with communication in stage I+1.

Also, The more steps, the more overhead. Small pipeline stages decrease your startup overhead (when the second stage is empty) but increase the number of segments and the total cost of the pipeline. The best is to find a piece of computation long enough to hide the communication. Pipelining would be overkill in my opinion. > The metric I mentioned earlier "degree of overlapping" with some > additional analysis can help designers _predict_ whether the design is > good or not and whether it will work well or not on a particular system > of interest (including the MPI library). Temporal dependency between buffers and computation is the metric for overlaping. The longuer you don't need a buffers, the better you can overlap a communication to/from it.

July 15, 2008
Kyle chose to study the historical emergence of Jazz music in Indiana. Being naïve about Indiana's involvement in fostering this unique style of music himself, Kyle was able to gain an immense understanding of the influence Jazz has had on the development of music throughout the century.
The emergence of Jazz music can be traced back to the early 20th century corresponding to the Great Migration from the South. Thousands of African Americans ventured to the North in search of a better life and more opportunities; as they traveled north they brought with them, their own style of music that would fuse with the European music that was currently in Indiana to form what we know as Jazz music.
By the early 1920's the West Side of Indianapolis became a heaven for Jazz music, playing host to over 22 Jazz clubs including the Madame Walker Theatre and the Cotton Club. Music was more than just pleasant sounds in these days, it was a means to come together and escape the prejudices of everyday life. Jazz music helped to bring individuals together, both black and white.
Kyle had the pleasure to travel to Richmond, Indiana to visit the site of the famed Gennett Records. Gennett Records was the Indiana's first major recording studio that was instrumental in recording some of the most influential musicians of the early 20th century. Some of the greatest musicians such as Hoagy Carmichael, Bix Beiderbecke, Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong and countless others recorded here in Indiana.
It is up our generation to preserve the plentiful history behind Jazz and appreciate its contribution to present day music.

Rhode Island Official Defends Taylor Swift Against Angry Neighbors
When Taylor Swift bought her Rhode Island beach house, she probably didn't anticipate that she'd cause turmoil. According to several reports, some of the residents aren't overly pleased with their new neighbor.
Because the singer's $17.5 million property line is near a public path to the shore, beach goers are angry about their limited access to the coast and the amount of security guards that are watching over her abode.
But a Rhode Island official is defending Swift against the public backlash, saying she's in the right.
"There has been an ongoing problem with people climbing onto her wall," a local official for the Watch Hill Fire District, a wing of the Parks Commission overseeing the area, tells RadarOnline. "The public is allowed on the beach, but only below the high tide water mark."
"When it's high tide, they can't be on her beach at all," the unnamed official adds. "When the tide is out, they can legally walk on the beach below the high tide mark."
After a scary incident in which a fan was found trespassing near her beachfront home, the superstar and her security team are undoubtedly taking every precautionary measure to ensure Swift stays protected.
Although she has taken a little bit of time to enjoy her massive new real estate property, even dining with pal Lena Dunham in the area, Swift has been incredibly busy on the road, traveling on her 2013 Red Tour. She also recently performed with the Rolling Stones, and sweetly surprised a contestant on 'The Voice' with a short appearance on the show.
Ideally, by the time the songstress has time to fully relax and enjoy the beautiful view from her new Rhode Island home, the property line problems will be solved.

Canada to New York to Chicago, Magalie Guerin is an excellent young painter/photographer fresh out of SAIC. She's currently investigating shape and color relations via painting with quite lovely results, and I'm genuinely looking forward to seeing where her work goes next. Magalie has recently shown works with The Suburban, Poor Farm Experiment, Julius Ceasar, and Autumn Space. More jams after the jump!

As we write about horrible sex crimes committed against children and teenagers day after day we just can't help wondering -- what is up with that? Why would you even want to... ? It's impossible to muster any empathy for adults who sexually molest children. But new research suggests we may at least have an explanation: There may be a pedophilia gene.
According to an Italian study, pedophilia may be caused by a genetic mutation. The Italian researchers gave a 50-year-old man who showing pedophile behavior toward his nine-year-old daughter anti-psychosis and antidepressant medications, and his behavior stopped. So the implications are hopeful: If scientists can prove that there is a pedophilia gene, they might be able to treat it -- before the patient acts on it.
I can see already how such a finding could go wrong. People could be discriminated against if they're found with the gene. Specifically they could be prevented from getting teaching jobs. I think a lot of us would be totally okay with that, but from a human rights standpoint it would pose a problem. (Also -- is anyone else wondering what pedophile behavior you can show toward a child without getting locked up?)
But that aside, I think this is mostly a good thing. More information is almost always helpful -- if you use that information thoughtfully. What if people knew they had that pedophilia genetic mutation? Would they maybe choose different careers? They could get treatment. It could save countless people pain and misery, and I'm including the victims and the perpetrators.
Do you think fewer children would be abused if it were proved that pedophilia is caused by a genetic mutation?

The faster the CPU the lower the max FSB gets. This motherboard (at least my board) has some odd timng bug/flaw/issue/"feature".
And an overclocked BX M/B can not be guaranteed a working of P-IIIs 1.4G.
Major reason is signal quality do not meet timing specific.
GA6BXC uses a ICS9148-26 for Frequency Generator.
But, this IC is designed for 100MHz FSB.
=> https://www.idt.com/document/dst/9148-26-datasheet
( on page 3, => Note1. Performance not guaranteed )
This means actual FSB can be reached up to 131%(174MHz) for one clock timing level.
By this reason, CPU can be overclocked for short time.
If lucky, ICS9148-26 does not go to 174MHz or CPU works at 174MHz for short time.
But, any case it is out of specific.
Next can help you to understand what is need to work CPU.

( page 22 to 55 )
Fixing will be simple and it is analog level works.
I do not have intent of changing any M/B function.
But, before measurement, I can not tell you which part or value will be changed.
And if big change is needed, I will ask you with details.
And M/B, MS6905 and CPU have signal quality control parts.
I will adjust only these parts.
All basic function will not be changed.
Modification key point is signal quality adjustment.
It is not adding or removing IC part.
After measurement of signal quality, adjusting value of resistor or capacitor.
Maybe, you will not know what is changed.

That sounds like it might be a limitation of the onboard power supply or voltage regulation. Higher clocked CPUs might be more sensitive, and if they draw more power then the board's VRM might not be as stable with them.

Any chance of a Dublin gig lads? The Button Factory in 2011 was a one hell of a gig! 2 drum kits :-)
Great news! You guys are always welcome in the UK, looking forward to seeing you again.
Really looking forward to the Bristol gig. Absolutely blew me away at The Phoenix in Exeter earlier this year.
Great news, got my ticket for Bristol, sadly it's two years today since we lost the Good Captain, Love over Gold!!
You missed out the Glasgow Arches gig on the 9th!Saturday night with The Magic Band, woohoo indeed!!!
Hey guys, any chance of playing 'Neon Meate Dream of a Octafish'? (Just joking.)
The Edinburgh gig will be their first time back here since an incredible gig on 24 January 2004. What did we do wrong guys?
WOT, no Liverpool gig yet ? Surely some mistake…
any chance of cardiff?
You guys have an impossible task of matching what you did at Robin 2 last year. But I'm going anyway !
Does anyone have news of potential dates in Europe? That would be fantastic… And, on a related note, if there are any Beefheart fans in Paris, the record shop Gibert Joseph on Blvd Saint Michel is currently having a sale, and they're offering vinyl copies of the Magic Band's 'Oxford' live LP for just five euros! They had three or four left yesterday (8th Jan), so be quick…
A superb friday evening at the Concorde; as you say, great atmosphere and set list. My recall is a little hazy but that may well have been the 'slow' version of Flavour Bud Living that Eric Klerks played so deftly…was there also some Hobo-ism in the set too? May be the imaginings of my friday night brain however. Daft curfew did little to interrupt my sparkly eyed euphoria; thanks guys, for doing what you do.
Saw you last night at the Robin in Bilston – stunning! Unbelievably talented bunch of musicians – Drumbo you rock on harmonica and when you sing you have such soul! You took the blues and turned it inside out into a whole new form – incredible! Loved it – for the folks reading this here in the UK – go and see this band – they are the greatest band ever! Thank you so much for a great night!
went to the Robin, good gig, don't remember too much about last time I saw you with the Captn, I was pretty spaced out at Knebworth back then, but you guys have still got it, all the licks and grooves. This one will stay with me, and other men in their beds last night or watching football on TV will hold their heads in shame when we say 'I was there'
I wrote in January doubting they could match last year at the Robin, crikey I was wrong. Astounding is one word, brilliant another. I'm still buzzing now!
Come back soon, pleasse !!!
Cracking gig Gromitt!
Come to Cork will ya?
Colchester 2nd March fantastic. Took a few Magic Band newcomers who left as converts. What a class act they are – off to under the bridge for last show….
Now we're near the end of the tour, can some folkss have a go at putting up some setlists ? We normally do a bit better than this !
Ive still got about 3 gaps/???s on my Bristol list [which I'm happy to post if anyone wants it]
Come back to Liverpool again boys – wonderful gig at Eric's !!
[…] For further information about The Magic Band and future events visit here. […]
visit where ? got a link ?
I'm having an argument with m'self (they're the best sort, you can't lose!).
Was Owed T'Alex a tour debut? I thought so, however others sites suggest it might have first surfaced back in 2009!
Yes, it was played at one of the ATP shows in 2009 I think
Thanks very much for those setlists. Will now cross check them with my friends and see what light that sheds on the Bristol setlist.
The Reading setlist was same as York minus the encore – I think…
York gig great as usual. Thanks lads.
You should not be allowed to leave the U.K., you should be playing here all the time.
What a great gig at the Cluny ! Made this old bozo so happy . Thanks for putting it on Chris, more please.
Was at The Arches, Glasgow. Despite the venue pulling the plug early, was a great gig, fannatastic atmosphere.
3rd time I've seen yoos at The Arches, last time was lucky enough to meet the guys backstage, got some great fotos.
Was at Bickershaw Festival, 1972, was a Magic time all the time.
This latest incarnation is exciting and tight, hope you feel like keeping this wonderful, low down music going for a while yet, come back and enchant us all once again.
Brilliant guys :-)
And NOW, Denny Wally's touring w/ The Zappa tribute band :"PROJECT OBJECT', here in the U.S., and then off to Europe, w/ 5 or Frank's original band members !GO TO THE SHOW! Look up Project object.com for more and for play dates and venues.
Can't beleive I missed this. Any plans for 2014 in the UK?
Have seen the Magic Band twice at the Arches. This time I didn't even know they were coming until they had been and gone. I'm still crying myself to sleep every night. Somebody wants to get the publicity machine up and running as I'm sure the band could do bigger venues with better promotion.

M-Government: Mobile Technologies for Responsive Governments and Connected Societies [3]
"Mobile phones are becoming the most rapidly adopted technology in history and the most popular and widespread personal technology in the world. Additionally, they play an increasingly important role in providing access to the Internet. Access to mobile networks is available to 90% of the world population, and to 80% of the population living in rural areas, according to the ITU World Telecommunication/ICT Indicators database; and among OECD countries mobile broadband subscriptions grew at a compounded annual growth rate of 20% between 2007 and 2009, according to the OECD Communications Outlook 2011.
Given this unparalleled advancement of mobile communication technologies, governments are turning to m-government to realise the value of mobile technologies for responsive governance and measurable improvements to social and economic development, public service delivery, operational efficiencies and active citizen engagement. The interoperability of mobile applications, which support quick access to integrated data and location-based services, paves the way for innovative public sector governance models – also called mobile governance or m-governance – based on the use of mobile technology in support of public services and information delivery."

Covering Elections: The Challenges of Training the Watchdogs [4]
"CIMA is pleased to release a new report, Covering Elections: The Challenges of Training the Watchdogs, by Rosemary Armao, a veteran journalist and journalism educator. Election training for journalists has been something of a sideline in most media development programs. Programs aimed at improving election laws, structures, and processes may include a journalism component, for example. Or efforts to boost investigative reporting might focus on elections in a particularly sensitive year. Where specialized election coverage programs have been mounted, they have tended to be short term and timed directly before elections, with faulty recruiting of participants, little focus on skills to be imparted in the rush, and no follow-up."

Citizen voice and state accountability: towards theories of change that embrace contextual dynamics [5]
"The development industry is increasingly pushing practitioners to achieve results, and to do better in demonstrating what works, what does not, and explaining why. There is a growing interest in going beyond the measurement of results to being able to understand the basis for success or failure. Consequently, the development of explicit theories of change (ToCs) is starting to be viewed as central to this process, as a key part of what constitutes 'rigour' in impact evaluations.
Citizen voice and accountability (CV&A) project interventions produce and reproducediverse outcomes that are not amenable to linear models of ToCs. This paper uses a critical analysis of CV&A cases from the Mwananchi Governance and Transparency Fund (GTF) programme to examine how citizen voice and accountability happens in different governance contexts."
