With Jobs Order, Obama Gives Veterans More to CelebratePresidential executive orders are lofty, historical documents, generally signed in White House ceremonies with pomp and circumstance.

Collaborative Cyber/Physical Security Management System
- Details
- Hits: 41206
"Access a trial of CYSM tool to assess seaport risks according to the ISPS code and the ISO 27000 standard"
The maritime sector is critical in terms of economic activities and commercial impact not only for the European society but more importantly for the Mediterranean EU Member States, especially under the current economic turmoil. Commercial ports are the main gateways and face increased requirements, responsibilities and needs in view of a secure and sustainable maritime digital environment. Therefore, they have to rely on complicated and advanced facilities, ICT infrastructure and trustworthy e-maritime services in order to optimize their operations. Commercial Ports are characterized by a dual "cyber"/"physical" attribute: their physical attributes are related with the port infrastructure (including facilities, buildings, platforms, gates, marinas, data centers) while their cyber attributes are related to their ICT Systems (including networks, ICT hardware equipment, Port Community Systems, services, data, users, procedures, access control/ authentication of users and cargo). Existing maritime security standards concentrate on the protection of the physical nature (safety) of the ports ignoring their cyber-nature, leaving the ports unprotected.
CYSM aims at alleviating this gap on the basis of a holistic approach that addresses the security of the dual nature of ports' Critical Information Infrastructures (CIIs). In particular, CYSM will provide a targeted risk management methodology (CYSM-RM) that relies on modeling and group decision making techniques using the collective knowledge of all users, estimating and rolling up risks (physical and cyber) across diverse target types, attack modes, and geographic levels. The CYSM-RM will be implemented through a collaborative security management system (CYSM system) enabling ports' operators to: (a) model physical and cyber assets and interdependencies; (b) analyze and manage internal/external/interdependent physical and cyber threats/vulnerabilities; and (c) evaluate/manage physical and cyber risks against the requirements specified in the ISPS Code and ISO27001. The CYSM system will be validated by four main Mediterranean ports, Port of Valencia, Piraeus Port Authority, Port of Carrara and Port-of-Mykonos.
In this context, CYSM contributes to the enhancement of the collaboration between European port stakeholders towards a practical, user-friendly and harmonized approach to security management of the physical and cyber nature of the ports' CIIs.

Now here's Helen Smith...
I have just completed my ninth book and I'm working on my tenth. I write novels, poetry, plays, screenplays and children's books. I have been published traditionally by one of the "big five" and by a small press in the UK. I have also self-published. My new British mystery series is published by Thomas & Mercer.
The high point of my screenwriting career was being commissioned by the BBC to write a series based on my first two books (the money was fantastic, though the series never went into production). The high point of my career as a playwright was seeing my play, The Psychic Detective, ("a film noir, perfect in almost every detail" The Times) produced at the National Theatre in London. We were parked outside the main building in a container truck mocked up to look like a 1940s cinema, with velvet seats for the audience. The high point of my career as a poet was seeing my biography and two poems printed in a respected anthology (co-founded by Ted Hughes) for which payment was two copies of the book. The high point of my career as a novelist was reaching the number one spot as the most popular mystery writer on Amazon.com last month. I love the written word in all its forms. But, for now, I'm sticking to writing novels.
I don't usually give advice about writing unless I'm asked for it. Friends of friends sometimes contact me to ask how to self-publish their books. I tell them how to do it but, unless they've previously been published elsewhere, I tell them to go the traditional route if they can. I have an agent. I'm traditionally published. Do I do it because I need validation? Yes! Yes, yes, yes. I want reviews and I want sales. I want a TV deal for my new series. I can't get those things by myself.
Publishing your books yourself is hard work unless you have a marketing background or an established readership. None of us is frightened of hard work, but digging ditches is hard work. Pitching reviewers and advertising to readers is hard work. Wouldn't you rather be writing than marketing? I know I would. If you have an established readership or a talent for marketing, go for it. Or if this is the best choice for you right now, go for it. I love the choice that self-publishing – particularly Amazon's KDP programme – offers authors. I'm not saying that you shouldn't self-publish. I'm just saying you shouldn't do it because you think it will be easy. Do it because you're not afraid of hard work. Do it because your book is brilliant and you want people to read it.
If you decide to self-publish because you can't handle rejection, consider this. If you go the traditional route, you only have to sell your book once: to your agent. Your agent sells the book to a publisher and the publisher sells the book into bookstores and direct to readers. They also handle publicity, pitching your book to reviewers and bloggers. If you self-publish, you have to make every sale. You send out every pitch. And you will meet with a hundred tiny rejections instead of one or two big ones.
Give yourself a little pinch. How thin is your skin? The rewards are wonderful when you self-publish. I'm not talking about the money, though of course you get to keep most of the royalties for yourself if you publish yourself. But if you cared about money you'd be working in a bank or dealing in property in London, not writing a novel, right? I'm talking about the opportunity to make relationships – friendships, even – with the book bloggers who are kind enough to read and review your work. I'm talking about connecting directly with readers. Once you do that and you go back into traditional publishing, you're Colonel Kurtz in Apocalypse Now. You've seen too much. You've gone rogue. You're going to be difficult to handle. But you only get to play Colonel Kurtz if you've made a success of self-publishing. And before the hubris comes the rejection. The snubs from reviewers. The snubs from professional writers' organizations. The snubs from bookstores. Oh, those endless, petty snubs from bookstores that they report so gleefully on Twitter, as if a local author wanting to partner with them to sell books is an affront to their dignity and humanity. Thank goodness for Amazon!
But before you can publish a book, you have to write one.
If I'm asked for advice about writing, I usually confine myself to a variation of "just finish your book," tagging on a cheery and heartfelt, "good luck!" If that advice seems facile, that's probably because you've never finished writing a book. Lots of people start them. Not many people finish. How do you even know if you've finished? OK, I'm going to cover that in my "five things you should know about writing", below. After that, I'm done.
Thank you to Joe Konrath for hosting me here. He invited me to post after I made a donation to Tess Gerritsen's War on Alzheimer's Fund. I also fundraise for Tŷ Hapus, a centre in Wales that provides respite care for people with early onset Alzheimer's.
Five things you should know about writing
1) The publication of your first book is not the end of the journey, it's the start of it. The hard work starts now. Good luck. Don't forget to keep writing.
2) Don't use song lyrics in your book.
You need to get permission to use the lyrics and pay to use them. You are responsible for this, not your publisher – and it's expensive. I think it's natural for writers to want to provide a soundtrack for their book, especially first time writers who are throwing everything they've got into the manuscript to make it work. If you want to use a song to evoke a mood, or locate the action in a particular time or place, just use the song title – you don't need to ask for permission or pay for it. This is perfectly legal. If the reader recognizes it, the song will instantly start playing in their head as they read your book. Nick Hornby did it brilliantly in High Fidelity, if you need an example of how to make it work. But don't reproduce the lyrics without permission.
3) Don't send the book out until you're finished.
Are you sure the book is finished? Really? There's nothing you could possibly change? It's hard enough to get people to look once. They won't look twice.
4) Agents and publishers are not looking for potential.
See number three, above. Have you written a good book? Or have you written a book that could be good, with a lot of outside help? Agents and publishers are looking for the former, not the latter. Yes, publishers will hire a copyeditor to fix the typos in your book if they buy it, and they may also give you notes on your manuscript so you can fix anything that doesn't work in your final draft before publication. But they will not match you with industry insiders eager to transform you from weeping ingénue to star. This isn't American Idol. If you're looking for that kind of help, you're in the wrong business.
5) Be nice.
Be nice to everyone. Everything goes better in life if you heed this advice.
Invitation to Die was published by Thomas & Mercer in May 2013. Helen Smith blogs at www.emperorsclothes.co.uk or find her on Facebook www.facebook.com/authorhelensmith or Twitter www.twitter.com/emperorsclothes
Readers of this blog know what my experience has been. I encourage everyone to self-publish, and I don't believe anyone should take a Big 5 contract unless it's for a ridiculous amount of money, or unless you can keep the ebook rights.
That's been my experience, so that's what I share. But that doesn't mean those who have opposing views are wrong, or that there is only one cookie-cutter way to succeed. We all have different journeys, and different results.
As an author who has visited 1200 bookstores, my experience differs from Helen's. While I did have to sell my book to my agent, that wasn't the only person I sold it to. I've found that I worked many times harder and longer selling my legacy books than I have selling my ebooks. Countless eight hour days in bookstores, handselling. Traveling to conferences and book fairs and library events in 42 states. Schmoozing with publishers and publicists and editors in order to get them on my side. I'm very happy I don't have to do any of that anymore, especially considering the meager monetary benefit I got from it.
Whereas with ebooks, they seem to sell themselves, with minimal prodding on my end. But again, that's been my experience, and your mileage may vary.
Every writer's goal should be to learn as much as possible, by talking to others, reading blogs and books, and experimenting. Then you can find what works best for you. Then you'll be able to give advice based on experience. Just remember than not all advice, mine included, fits all.

The old saying that branding is global and selling is local basically means that your company's brand has to be instantly identifiable, possibly worldwide, even though your members typically come from a five- to10-mile radius.
Think about Apple's apple, Target's target and Nike's "swoosh" — all are immediately identifiable with the company and brand. These icons, however, do not stand alone. They work with the company's customer service, marketing and design — all of which contribute to the consumer experience on a local level. When a company allows one of these components to dominate the message, the results generally are not optimum.
For example, some companies may push their logo's colors to be the all-encompassing colors of their club's design, but how many members want to spend their time in a completely purple and yellow room, even if it's just for a few hours a week? Their experience will suffer, and this could become a detriment rather than an asset in the long run.
I am not advocating a complete departure from honoring a company's base colors. The emotional connection that colors provide consumers is an important part of the brand and should be respected. I am just advocating that rather than the brand's color dominating the architectural design, the two should be born from the same concept, do their individual jobs and support each other so that together the icon and the experience can form a powerful message and differentiate your company from the market.
Some people will point to McDonald's and how it built an empire on yellow and red. True, but that occurred in a different time, and even McDonald's is changing. It is in the midst of an overhaul of its brand experience in which its buildings' designs have been elevated to a more stunning experience with regional flavor, nice stone, warm colors, sleek lighting and high-tech looks. This strategic move is to counter the growing trend of consumers moving their support from international conglomerates and big-box brands to supporting local businesses. Locally grown, operated and sourced is fast becoming an important line in consumers' checklists.
Creating brand recognition starts with making the brand easily recognizable. To that end, architecture reinforces signage. For example, Apple store buildings have evolved into beautiful, simple boxes, a carefully balanced move to support the Apple icon. The icon never changes, but the buildings do. The buildings look and feel like one of Apple's products: sleek, sexy and seductive. The architecture and branding achieve the desired goal — you know an Apple store when you see one, but no one is quite like the other.
As brand building becomes more important, we can glean some excellent lessons from McDonald's and Apple. Lock down your brand device, and only evolve it with great scrutiny. Signage, shape, color, device and taglines need consistency. The buildings and interior colors should have a degree of consistency and commonality but should be cousins rather than twins.
One of our clients, a major chain in the Northeast, has specific colors and a specific feel it prefers for its clubs. The company has built an expectation and a language that helps define and differentiate its product. Because its clubs have complete reciprocity, members often spend time in several of its clubs, so a consistent look is important, but the customer experience is even more important. To support the company's goal, we respect its color combinations, but we use them with a new flair and interest, and we use them in innovative combinations and locations. We also introduce new products and materials into the design scheme. Sometimes, we bring in color with wood, brick and wall coverings, which elevates the overall experience.
We recently developed design standards and three design schemes for Anytime Fitness, taking these same ideas into account.
Health clubs are not sandwich shops. People spend time in their clubs. They deserve a rich and rewarding, well-designed experience. Branding in concert with the interior design will ensure that you can compete globally while respecting what you sell locally: the member experience.
Rudy Fabiano, a registered architect and interior designer, is president of Fabiano Designs, an architectural firm for health clubs, wellness centers, sports clubs and spas. The company has produced more than 400 projects in the past 20 years.

Kubuntu Lives
The open source model at its core is all about freedom. The freedom for users to choose and the freedom of not being locked in. That freedom also can be a lifeline for projects that otherwise wouldn't survive. Just ask the Kubuntu project, which found new life this past week after Canonical decided it wouldn't support it anymore.
1) Kubuntu Gets New Sponsorship
Canonical has been a strong supporter of KDE in recent years, but that support is now ending. Canonical recently announced that they would no longer support the Kubuntu KDE version of Ubuntu after the upcoming 12.04 release. Canonical had been sponsoring Jonathan Riddell the lead developer of Kubuntu.
Riddell noted in his own blog that when the news broke that Canonical was abandoning Kubuntu he got lots of email from people that rely on the operating system.
"It turns out Kubuntu is very popular and important, people really use this KDE stuff I've been working on for the last decade," Riddell blogged.
So even though Canonical no longer sees value in sponsoring Kubuntu others do. One of those groups is Blue Systems.
"Blue Systems took the plunge first and said they'd sponsor the project so Kubuntu will continue as a community led, KDE focused Ubuntu flavour and will branch out into new areas like the tablet and ARM," Riddell said.
According to the Kubuntu project, Blue Systems already sponsors a number of KDE projects and will encourage Kubuntu to follow the same successful formula as it has always had.
2) Debian Project Leader Threepeat
For the first time ever, Debian has three term project leader. Stefano Zacchiroli was re-elected as the Debian Project Leader (DPL) last week with 80 percent of Debian voters giving him the thumbs up.
Zacchiroli was first elected DPL in 2010 and was re-elected in 2011.
3) Chrome OS Aura
Google's Chrome OS is a Linux based browser operating system that hasn't made had nearly the success of Google's other mobile OS, Android. To help push Chrome OS forward, Google is now testing a new desktop window manager called Aura.
"The goal is to produce a new desktop window manager and shell environment with modern capabilities," Google's Aura page states. "The UI must offer rich visuals, large-scale animated transitions and effects that can be produced only with the assistance of hardware acceleration."

Kakao Talk, the most popular mobile phone messenger in Korea, proves itself as an influential distribution platform for mobile games.
After it launched Kakao Game for Android on the 30th of July, games from it dominated Google Play Free-App rank – 7 of Top 10 Free games are linked with Kakao Game.
Ani Pang stands as #1 for Google Play Free Game rank and for Top sales rank. Another game called I Love Coffee reached 100 million Won (US $88,215) revenue.
The main reason for their popularity is that they are linked with Kakao Talk messenger. Users could invite their friends in Kakao Talk list to the games and play together.
Wemade Entertainment who invested US $22 million to Kakao Talk is the main beneficiary because not only their games such as Viking Island and Rhythm Scandal have been succeeded through Kakao Talk, but also their share value has been up 15.21%. Share value for Barunson Games also went up just right after they announce their games will be published through Kakao Talk.
Kakao Games will be available for iOS pretty soon.

Washington, D.C. Shopping
Despite the fact that going to "the Mall" in D.C. doesn't mean you're going shopping, Washington offers fabulous stores that sell serious or silly souvenirs, designer fashions, recycled and green goods, books about almost everything, and handicrafts. Even if you are headed to the mall, our nation's Mall, that is, you'll discover that plenty of collections housed along the famous greensward,
such as the Smithsonian museums and the National Gallery of Art, sell interesting keepsakes in their gift shops.
Beyond the Mall, smaller one-of-a-kind shops, designer boutiques, and interesting specialty collections add to Washington's shopping scene alongside stores that have been part of the landscape for generations. Weekdays, Downtown street vendors add to the mix by offering funky jewelry; brightly patterned ties; buyer-beware watches; sunglasses; and African-inspired clothing, accessories, and art. Discriminating shoppers will find satisfaction at upscale malls on the city's outskirts. Not surprisingly, T-shirts and Capitol City souvenirs are in plentiful supply.

Artist Hubert Massey will present the address "The Impact of Public Art from Past to Present Day" on Wednesday, Oct. 24, at 4 p.m. in the Maas Center auditorium through the Multicultural Enrichment Series at Hope College.
The public is invited. Admission is free.
Massey's interests include the marriage between art and architecture, with additional focus on art restoration and conservation. Through the years he has been commissioned to create works of art in many public places throughout the metro Detroit area as well as elsewhere.
He designed the terrazzo floor which graces the Rotunda room of the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History in Detroit. The design, titled "Genealogy," depicts the struggle of Africans and African Americans throughout history. The floor, which is 72 feet in diameter, is one of the main focal pieces in the museum.
The Michigan State Fairgrounds was home to a mural depicting the history of Michigan. A granite petrograph carving is housed at the entrance of the newly built IRS Midwest Computer Center in Detroit. His mural "The Death of Laocoon and his two sons, Antiphas and Thymbraeus," is in the lobby of the Athenaeum Hotel in Greektown in Detroit.
Massey is currently completing a large-scale lunette fresco for the Detroit Athletic Club. He also created the fresco "Importing and Exporting of Knowledge" for the Richard DeVos Building of the downtown Grand Rapids campus of Grand Valley State University.
He has been commissioned to participate in many art programs, workshops and gallery exhibitions. He has served as an art instructor with the Detroit Council of Arts; the Detroit Summer Youth Program; and The Advanced Gifted and Talented Program housed at Wayne State University, a joint collaboration between Wayne State University and the Detroit Public Schools.
Massey is a graduate of Grand Valley State University, and has done additional study at the University of London-Slade Institute of Fine Arts and the Art Education Program at Wayne State University. Grand Valley State University presented him with a distinguished alumni award in 2001. Among other honors, he was accepted into membership by the National Society of Mural Painters of New York City in 1993; was appointed to the Wayne County Community Leaders Council in 1995; and received a Spirit of Detroit Award in 1993.
The Maas Center is located at 264 Columbia Ave., on Columbia Avenue at 11th Street.

To win any Test match inside three days is a stand-out effort."It was also wonderful to see Newlands close to capacity on all three days and I would like to thank our fans in the Western Cape for their wonderful support. Hopefully this is a trend that will continue throughout the New Zealand tour and the following tour by Pakistan. We also had capacity crowds for the three matches in the T20 series and there is no doubt that the Proteas are taking cricket in this country to a new level of popularity."

2005 Land Rover Range Rover ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
The ultimate in luxury and capability.
The 2005 Range Rover remains the ultimate personal-luxury, multiple-use sport-utility. This top-of-the-line Land Rover offers authentic all-terrain capability combined with a beautiful European-flavor cabin and the latest in safety features. Driving it just makes you feel good. It's smooth and poised on the road and makes its occupants feel classy and sophisticated. It's one of the best luxury vehicles available, counting cars. Land Rover doesn't sell vast quantities of them, ensuring the Range Rover remains an exclusive vehicle, and further adding to its class and panache.
The Range Rover was completely redesigned for 2003, only the third time that Land Rover has returned to a clean sheet of paper since the first Range Rover debuted in 1970. Compared to earlier Range Rovers, the current model is quicker and more agile. Yet it retains its Land Rover pedigree for traversing the backcountry, featuring the latest in off-road technology and luxury appointments.
BMW was heavily involved in the design and engineering of the current model, and its expertise is clearly evident. BMW owned Land Rover briefly, and helped develop the current Range Rover, then sold Land Rover to Ford. Land Rover is now part of Ford's Aston Martin Jaguar Land Rover North America division headquartered in Irvine, California. The Range Rover continues to use BMW engines.
Exemplary service is part of the Range Rover experience. Surveys indicate customers are highly satisfied with their Land Rover retailers who pride themselves with taking care of their customers, and anecdotal evidence backs that up. The Land Rover Centres go beyond those of the typical car dealership, acting as off-road outfitters. They carry accessories and apparel and organize outings. Land Rover's four-year/50,000 mile warranty includes roadside assistance and free scheduled maintenance.
The Range Rover is powered by a 282-horsepower, 4.4-liter V8 engine mated to a five-speed automatic transmission. It features a permanent four-wheel-drive system with a two-speed transfer case and Torsen center differential, all-terrain traction and stability control, four-wheel disc brakes with ABS.
Standard amenities on the Range Rover HSE ($73,750) include three-zone climate control, a 10-way power driver's seat, GPS navigation, and a Harman/Kardon digital surround-sound system with six-disc CD changer and a hidden cassette player. Nine exterior colors are available to choose from including the new Tonga Green.
Options are limited. The Heated Accessories Package ($1300) includes dual-level heated front and rear seats; a heated, multi-function, leather-wrapped steering wheel; and an integrated ski bag. The Luxury Interior Package ($5,000) includes everything in the Heated Accessories Package, plus Contour seats with 16-way adjustment and memory for the driver. The package also includes upgraded leather on the seats, dashboard door pulls, center console lid, and luggage net. Seven-spoke, 20-inch alloy wheels with a full-size spare are available on the HSE ($4000).
The limited-edition Westminster ($86,000) includes everything in the Luxury Interior package, plus Rain Sensor automatic windshield wipers, unique Java Black pearlescent paint, a Jet Black interior with Ivory accents, and 20-inch bright-finish aluminum wheels shod with 255/50 V-rated all-terrain tires. About 300 will be built.
The Range Rover cuts a distinct profile, instantly recognizable as a Range Rover. Its contours are smooth and taut, with just enough curvature to suggest substance and strength. Compared to less exclusive, but more conspicuously massive SUVs, the Range Rover looks trim, muscular, and athletic, like a formidable middleweight fighter next to a costumed television wrestler.
This newest Range Rover is taller, wider, longer, and higher off the ground than pre-2003 models. It's more than 5 inches longer in wheelbase (the distance between the front and rear tires) and nearly 4 inches wider in track (the distance between the right and left tires). It provides an amazing 11 inches of ground clearance. Though many of its body panels are formed from costly aluminum to keep the weight down, it still weighs nearly 5400 pounds, 400 pounds more than its predecessor.
The front end is strong and horizontal, capped by Range Rover's trademark clamshell hood. High-tech headlamps (with power washers) wrap around at the corners. Punctuating the bumper are two serious-looking round ports and a long, horizontal slot, all feeding air to the engine. Taillights echo the futuristic look of the front.
Viewed from the side, the latest Range Rover features a high beltline and a flat expanse of sleek metal dramatically slashed by Brunel-finish louvers that extract hot air from the back of the engine bay to help cool the engine.
Underneath the skin is a steel monocoque structure with an integrated chassis that increases torsional stiffness by 32 percent over pre-2003 models. Increased body rigidity improves ride and handling and gives the Range Rover the ability to tow, haul and tote just about anything on or off road. It can tow up to 7700 pounds, or cruise at speeds up to 122 mph.
The Range Rover features a spacious, well-appointed interior. Longtime admirers will not be surprised by a host of luxurious amenities, but loyalists may be surprised by the austere, straight lines of this latest design. The interior is not gratuitously ornate, but chiseled and architectural. Still, the atmosphere is light and airy, with styling cues coming from ocean-going yachts and first-class jetliner seating, as well as fine furniture and jewelry. Four standard interior color schemes are offered: Aspen/Ivory, Jet/Charcoal, Navy/Parchment, and Jet/Sand. All include contrasting piping on the seats, and a choice of traditional walnut burl trim or avant-garde cherry. The rich wood and leather combinations make for lovely interiors.
Range Rovers have long been known for sophisticated interiors, including a wide array of convenience and entertainment features. As new systems were added, the wiring harness became thicker and integration became more difficult. The 2005 Range Rover addresses that need, and is now wired with a new fiber-optic harness that replaces the prior copper-wiring network. The new harness better connects a variety of systems that need to communicate on an instantaneous basis; the GPS navigation has to work with the security system, the car telephone has to work with the entertainment system so it will mute when a call is received, voice activation and hands-free speakerphones require a microphone, and a display is needed for navigation and DVD playback, among other things. The effect of the new wiring is to integrate the electronic systems (GPS navigation, audio, and telecommunications, for example) into one system.
There is new hardware as well. Prior models used an LCD screen, which has been replaced by a VGA screen with 3.5 times higher resolution. A new DVD-based navigation system is state of the art. It is now voice-activated, with a single DVD mapping the entire continental United States. There is an off-road mode that can guide to destination, and also track where you have been, to make it easy to return to your start point.
In addition to the usual trip computer functions such as fuel consumption, range, speed and the like, the new Range Rover has a 4x4 driver interface that shows what the wheels and suspension are doing and direction of travel. Drivers can see front wheel position when slogging through muddy ruts without getting out of the car.
The premium Harman/Kardon surround-sound system boasts 710 watts and 14 speakers. It can be controlled by voice command, steering wheel controls, or the touch screen. The telephone system integrates the owner's mobile phone with the car, allowing hands-free operation and voice commands, either by placing it in a cradle or wirelessly using the Bluetooth technology.
There is more head- and legroom than in earlier models. Seats are big and comfortable, firm and supportive, with adequate side bolstering and lumbar support. Headrests are comfortable. Rear seats are also very comfortable and supportive with lots of room and split powered backrests. Four cup holders are adjustable and accommodate many different sizes of bottles and cans.
Carrying a lot of gear is no problem. The Range Rover's tailgate was designed to support the weight of two adults, making this a perfect vehicle for tailgate parties, or for pulling on a set of waders, or for a quick picnic lunch, or any of those other times you might want a tailgate, often good, memorable times. The cargo area is longer and taller than in earlier models. The rear seats are split 60/40 for versatility when moving cargo and people. Luggage hooks on the floor of the cargo area are designed to keep items secure. The full-size spare tire is stored in a well under the cargo floor.
In the Westminster edition, the power driver's seat adjusts 16 ways; the front passenger's seat 12 ways. Both front and rear seats have two-level electric heating; even the steering wheel is electrically w.
Driving Impression
The Range Rover builds on its legendary off-road capability, but with vastly improved road handling over the previous-generation models. It doesn't lean nearly as much in corners. The Range Rover felt poised on a 200-mile trek down narrow, winding lanes in Scotland, dodging and darting with the utmost steadiness. Back in the U.S., it handled the bumpy, crowded freeways of Los Angeles exceedingly well, ensconcing us in a richly appointed cocoon that gave us a sense of security on the mean streets. The ride on L.A.'s rippled freeways was smooth and comfortable.
The Range Rover's superb balance of ride and handling are the result of a highly refined and interconnected air suspension that allows softer spring rates for enhanced comfort. The system also allows the driver to manually lower the ride height, making it easier for passengers to get in and out, a nice feature for shorter, older passengers. An Access setting can be pre-selected so the body lowers to the desired height as the Range Rover rolls to a stop; this is more convenient and less annoying than the old system, which required pressing the button after you put it in Park then waiting for it to lower; passengers seldom had the patience to wait for it to do its thing and it would stop lowering the moment your impatient passenger opened the door. The new one solves this.
BMW's smooth and powerful 4.4-liter V8 delivers far greater power than the old 4.6-liter Rover engine. Output has been increased to 282 horsepower at 5400 rpm. Torque is 325 pounds-feet at 3600 rpm. Range Rover can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in about 9 seconds, which isn't particularly quick but seems quick enough. Top speed is electronically limited to 122 mph. The BMW engine is cleaner and gets better fuel efficiency with an EPA-estimated 12/17 mpg City/Highway.
The V8 is mated to a five-speed automatic transmission featuring CommandShift, one of the newest manual override systems in the luxury market. In the Range Rover, CommandShift can operate in both the high and low ranges of the transfer case for use on or off road.
Four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes are backed by Emergency Brake Assist, which applies full braking force in a panic stop even if the driver mistakenly relaxes brake pedal pressure, and electronic brake-force distribution (EBD), which helps reduce stopping distances by balancing braking forces front to rear.
The Range Rover is also equipped with Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), which helps drivers stay on their intended course by preventing a skid. This electronic stability control system helps maintain vehicle stability at the limits of tire adhesion via a combination of yaw rate sensors, the antilock brake system, and the traction control system. When required, the system applies the brakes at one or more wheels to correct excessive yaw. For example, if the rear tires lose grip in a corner, a situation called oversteer can occur that can ultimately lead to spinning off the road; the system senses this happening and applies the brake on the outside front wheel to rotate the vehicle back onto the desired path. The driver need only steer where he or she wants to go.
Yet, while it's clear that the biggest improvement over pre-2003 models has been made in on-road handling, the Range Rover's off-road prowess has been significantly upgraded as well. We first discovered this on some of Scotland's rugged off-road tracks. We put it to a more thorough test at the excellent Land Rover Driving School at The Greenbrier in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. The Range Rover easily slogged up steep, muddy tracks most drivers would never attempt. Even more impressive was its ability to creep down steep, muddy terrain that would have left lesser vehicles parked against a tree. Its suspension articulation and impressive technology made driving over rugged terrain easy, smooth and comfortable with little of the head toss you get in most off-road vehicle.
The Range Rover may be the ultimate in style, prestige, luxury, and off-road capability in a sport utility. Many upgrades have been made under the skin for 2005, integrating and improving an impressive array of electronic systems. Boasting a monocoque body with integrated chassis, all-independent suspension and five-speed automatic transmission along with Land Rover's legendary four-wheel drive, the Range Rover will take you anywhere, from the Sahara to the South Pole.
The Range Rover offers European style and pedigree, something the Lexus LX 470 does not have. It offers off-road capability and cargo space that BMW X5 drivers can only dream about. And it'll run circles around the Mercedes-Benz G500 on a paved road. In short, this latest Range Rover lives up to its reputation as the standard to which other SUVs aspire. It is a pleasure to drive and it's easy on the eyes. For many, it truly is the SUV champion of the world.

Woman plants garden to tie-dye
Staff writer
Betty Williams of Marion wants to plant vegetables and flowers this year for one purpose: to get some natural dye.
"I loved tie-dyeing when I was a kid," the 66-year-old said. "But I didn't want to use all the chemicals. Then I found instructions on how to make some natural dye and I just have to try it."
Williams is one of many people who are currently planning to make dye from garden plants. While some disagree on the best varieties to use, all agree that it is better to use natural products whenever possible. Williams said she plans on planting zinnias, sunflowers, dahlias, and marigolds in her flowerbed and carrots, beets, red cabbage, and spinach in her vegetable garden.
"I'll have some really nice reds, yellows, and purples," she said. "That should allow me to do whatever I want."
While most gardeners do not look forward to weeding their gardens, Williams said it brings a unique opportunity to her venture.
"I hope I get some dandelions and queen Anne's lace in there," she said. "They are really strong and I've heard they make great dyes. I'll just have to make sure to put them in water, so they'll still be around when I'm ready to process them."
Williams said it isn't an inexpensive venture. She spent nearly $200 at Wal-Mart to get the needed supplies.
"I needed gloves," she said. "I didn't want any of that dye to get on my hands. So, I got a pair for gardening and a pair for cooking. I also bought two huge enamel pans and a stainless steel strainer."
Williams said there are many different techniques to dying fabric with natural dyes. But, after doing some research, she found there was one recipe that everyone seemed to use.
"It calls for you to shred the plants into little pieces in order to release all the color possible in the plant," she said. "Then you put it all in the pot and boiled them for an hour. Then you strain it and add one tablespoon of vinegar for every cup of liquid. Then you bring that to a boil again before you add the fabric."
She said she isn't looking forward to the smells that will fill her house throughout this process, but said it will be worth it in the end.
"I don't want any chemicals touching my skin," she said.
But, she is looking forward to one part: tying her shirts up.
"The best part about tie-dying is wrapping all the rubber bands around into creative designs," she said. "I bought 10 bags of bands when they were on clearance. I'm probably going to put a whole bag or more on each one. If I remember right, the most unique designs are made when you put a bunch on."
She said she'll put her tied clothing into the dye bath for about an hour and then rinse it in a vat of cool water. Then, she'll hang them on her clothesline for drying.
She said she'll probably have to repeat the process several times on one shirt in order to get the desired color. But she is ready for the challenge — even if her plants are still germinating.
While Williams said she has never made natural dyes and doesn't really know what she is doing, she said she has friends in Colorado and Illinois who have been successful with it – and knows that they'll be a good resource for her in upcoming months.
"It'll be a good way to reconnect with them," she said.

Well, hello again, everyone! In case you haven't noticed, there's been a lot of activity in the POWER universe lately!
Power Firmware Updates
POWER systems (and the awesome firmware that runs them) are all over the news. We have Rackspace building a system, we've got some cool new scale out IBM servers here, and bunch of new software/firmware features released for our existing POWER8 systems. Not to mention a new supercomputer on it's way. We also have a team working on the next generation BMC for open compute!
From a social perspective, we've got a new LinkedIn group and developerWorks blog, where our main focus from a POWER perspective is giving you relevant info and getting your feedback and questions.
Continuous Delivery
All of this activity in power firmware made us sit back and reevaluate our work flows from an efficiency perspective. I've taken new role within our PowerFW group to really focus on our continuous delivery model, the goal being to get our firmware from development to test to the world much faster. There were 2 obvious areas to focus on initially, the process before a developer's change gets into an internal build, and the process after that build has been created and we want to get it to our customers (both internal and external). We quickly found that continuous delivery is very easy to talk about (automate everything, fail early, ...), but it's a bit more difficult in practice :)
Continuous Integration
The goal of CI is to test a developer's change before it can break anything else. CI was challenging for us because a lot of our code was stored in a legacy Source Control Management (SCM) system. It's also based on a legacy build environment. But, we rolled up the sleeves, created some cron magic, tossed some Jenkins in, and voila, we were able to pull a pretty awesome CI workflow together. It looks something like this at a high level:
The change (and any defined requisites) is extracted and built. A flash image is generated, which is then loaded into our simulation environment. By default, a base set of tests will be run in simulation but each developer has a mechanism to write their own custom CI tests using our internal, XML-based, Build Verification Test (BVT) suite. The CI infrastructure identifies the area of the development change and looks up any associated tests to run. After the simulation run passes, we have a Jenkins job, which allocates the requested POWER system on which the generated firmware image is flashed and then tested.
For those who haven't worked with Jenkins before, I HIGHLY recommend you take a look. It seems so simple, but it has so much power when it comes to orchestrating your automation needs. Going forward, all new products will be built on top of open-source tools and processes that enable CI out of the box.
Continuous Test
CT is the testing we do after a collection of developer changes have been put into an official build. Historically we had a manual test team that would handle these tests. The explosion of systems with OpenPower, plus the general increase in velocity of our dev process made us dig into continuous test. There had been a mix of projects over the years from the team attempting to automate some of the testing but none had ever reached the continuous test level. As a team, we chose three (one for each subsystem, PowerVM, FSP/BMC, HMC) that looked the best suited for our requirements and started to focus on them from a development perspective. We went agile, with monthly sprints and associated user stories. We put all of the code in a git repo, plopped gerrit on top of it, and integrated a CI job using Jenkins (that's right, CI for the CT code!). We quickly had hundreds of test cases automated (tests that used to take weeks to run manually for each of the different releases) and running within daily Jenkins jobs. This had a snowballing affect in that our manual test team was then able to start contributing to the automation due to less manual testing!
We dealt with the legacy SCM as best we could but all new projects in our area now use the above formula as it's base. The OpenPower hostboot project did this from the beginning and reaped benefits, such as CI from the beginning. As a development and test team we have not found anything else that has the flexibility and start-to-delivery time capabilities as this.
And to leave you all with a little gift, here are my personal favorite jenkins plugins:

All stadiums are not created equal. And neither are the crowds.
Though each MLS stadium has its X-factor—elevation, weather, playing surface—it's often the 12th Man that makes a venue most challenging for the visitors.
MLSsoccer.com polled MLS players throughout the league to find out the 10 toughest venues to come out of with any points. Though the list is topped by a likely suspect, it's who the players ranked second that may surprise you.
Kei Kamara, Sporting Kansas City: Seattle. They're fun. When they boo me, I love it. The atmosphere is really great out there. It's nice to play in that.
Jeff Larentowicz, Colorado Rapids: Toronto. They're so loud. They're always there. You always know at BMO that you're not only going up against the guys on the field, but also the energy they're getting from the crowd.
1. Qwest Field (Seattle Sounders)
Is there any way 36,000 fans can't make a difference? When defenders can't hear their 'keeper, even within the 18-yard box, it's a problem.
2. Rio Tinto Stadium (Real Salt Lake)
They may not be as hyped as the fans in Seattle or Toronto, but RSL's loyalists make Sandy, Utah, a true fortress (and the team has the home record to prove it).
3. BMO Field (Toronto FC)
Let's be honest here: with capacity crowds a way of life on the north shore of Lake Ontario, this crowd changed the expectations for soccer crowds in North America. And with a season ticket waiting list of more than 10,000 fans, it's not going anywhere any time soon.
4. The Home Depot Center (LA Galaxy)
They may be notoriously late to arrive, but the Galaxy faithful have always been one of the more vocal audiences in MLS. And with three different supporters groups spread out around the stadium, there is no place for an opposing player to hide.
5. Toyota Park (Chicago Fire)
Is there a stand in MLS as intimidating as the one housing Chicago's Section 8? It's loud, it's organized, and it's impossible to ignore.
6. Dick's Sporting Goods Park (Colorado Rapids)
While the altitude surely works in favor of DSG Park, it's the close proximity of the supporters' terrace behind the west goal that also gives the home team an edge.
7. Crew Stadium (Columbus Crew)
The consolidation of supporters groups into a single, raucous corner of Crew Stadium has had a dramatic effect on the atmosphere in Columbus. You won't find a more unwelcoming spot from which to take a corner kick in all of MLS.
[inline_node:328566]8. PPL Park (Philadelphia Union)
The Sons of Ben may get all the press, but there is life in Chester beyond the River End. They were the new guys in 2010, but these fans already have a reputation.
9. RFK Stadium (D.C. United)
This is the original 12th Man of MLS. Unlike most stadiums, the club's largest supporters groups are housed in the bouncing, sideline stands in full view of the TV cameras. Why hide the hardcore behind the goals?
10. Red Bull Arena (New York Red Bulls)
The South Ward brings the ruckus with its "only in New York" mix of Latin-percussion and witty interpolations of hip-hop, punk and terrace anthems. Add in the only full roof in MLS and the volume pumps up to 11.
The Rest
They may not have made the top 10, but the other stadiums in MLS have their intimidation factors, too. (Alphabetical by club.)
The Home Depot Center (Chivas USA)
The Goats' supporters' group may not have the numbers that their Home Depot Center roommates do, but make no mistake: There is no lack of passion—especially when they are playing the Galaxy.
Pizza Hut Park (FC Dallas)
Just as it does in Houston, the Texas sun works against Dallas' visitors quite well. But the Inferno and the rest of the FC Dallas faithful do their part to turn up the heat
Robertson Stadium (Houston Dynamo)
It's not just the Gulf Coast heat and humidity that make the Dynamo's home hostile; the Texian Army and El Battalon do a fine job of making visiting teams feel unwelcome.
[inline_node:322387]CommunityAmerica Ballpark (Sporting Kansas City)
Kansas City may have a new name and home this year, but they'll still have the same loyal supporters behind them (and maybe a few more) in 2011. (Kansas City will move into a new venue, LIVESTRONG Sporting Park, in 2011.)
Gillette Stadium (New England Revolution)
Though the turf provides a homefield advantage for the Revs, you can't count out the crowd as the Midnight Riders keep things interesting in The Fort.
Buck Shaw Stadium (San Jose Earthquakes)
Her capacity may be small, but Buck Shaw's intimacy means a concentrated, intense crowd. The Casbah and the 1906 Ultras do their part to keep things lively.
Portland and Vancouver were excluded as the players polled have yet to play there in MLS competition.

In an attempt not to start another flame war, but to respond to Carlos, Jim,
Todd, and Pat....
You gave a HUGE sales pitch for your product, in my opinion. The other
vendors could have ripped you apart, which they didn't, and I applaud them
for their restraint. Perhaps next time I will let it go, and then you can
get the barrage of e-mail from them instead of one from me. I didn't have a
"bad" salesman just leave my office, or anything else. That is a logically
weak argument used by someone who has nothing valid to support their claims.
And you can't sidestep the issues that I pointed out. Those are all
weakness of your product. I could list weakness of all the major vendors'
products, but refrain from doing so until someone pops up with "my product
is the be all and end all"...which is b.s. as we all know (except for
engineers new to the field). You put your opinions on the list, you take
your chances...just like me or anyone else.
Preacher Jim,
I don't hold vendors' representatives to a higher standard, just an equal
standard. Remember the recent H. Johnson debacle? The list looked like a
shark pool. People were coming out of the wood works to take a shot at the
king. But for the most part it was a necessary clarification. Why should
I, or anyone, hold a vendor representative less accountable with regard to
accuracy than H.J.? He pretty much started this whole thing (generalizing
now, I know who all of the first researchers were), and we ripped him apart
in the name of science. No kids gloves there. I think that it is
inapproriate when a posting diverges from data, to opinion, to sales pitch,
especially to someone new to the discipline. That's my opinion, and the
last I remember, I'm entitled to an opinion also. My intent was to clarify
for David I. that he needed to research the vendors' offerings, and that
Cadence might not be the best choice for his application. All that glitters
is not gold. My concern is for the SI engineer, and not the vendors. I am
neither for nor against the vendors. I am impartial. Can you say the same?
The one that makes the best tool set for my application, and has the best
correspondence to emprical data is the one that I choose to use. You will
also note that due to my last round with one of the vendors, their replies
have been data points and not sales campaigns. Keep that in mind. End of
Todd,(thanks for an actual question)
No. I mean on the interconnects. You have to use a 3-D solver to model the
pins and cabling. Otherwise you put in your best guess from the vendor data
or perform measurements, and use those values. The last time I checked,
SpectraQuest didn't have that capability. If you have updated data, I would
appreciate receiving it.
You have a good point; overstated to make your point. I just went from
somone expressing what I think is a valid opinion, to someone who is
suppressing knowledge. That's a pretty big step. So perhaps, Patrick, you
also overstated your position. It's not suppressing knowledge, it's having
the posting contain some knowledge to be transferred. As I remember, you
went through a round or two over the plane bridging/frequency independance
of capacitor selection. You took some hits, but we all learned something on
that one. No big deal. Part of the learning process. I guess we differ on
this current issue as to whether or not there was any content in the
message, and whether or not we hold vendor representatives to the same
standard that we hold ourselves to.
For everyone's information, I have received several e-mails in support of my
position. There were a number of people who found Carlos's e-mail too far
from fact, and very much Cadence biased. I still feel that this is not a
sales forum, and will express my opinion when such instances occur, knowing
that there will be other and opposite opinions. That's what the list is
about. I hope that David finds the discussion illuminating rather than
confusing, which was my intent.

Subject: RE: [SI-LIST] : SpecctraQuest v Hyperlynx
It looks like you may had a bad experience with one of your tool
vendors!!... My inputs to any thread in the SI list are basically
unbiased. I am a not a sales person and by know means promote the sales of
our solution on this list.
If you are unhappy at my post, then you should address this to me
personally and not to the entire SI list. As tool vendors we are out
there to help you and everyone else, and I/we certainly get useful data as
what direction and technology enhancements we need to incorporate into our
tools or what typical problems are warranting attention from users such as
yourself or the folks of the SI list.
You will get biased opinions from the users on this list as to which tool
vendor works best, and that's great. However, I encourage that any
negative comments or problems that are associated with your tool vendor are
addressed to the tool vendor or your support person directly, not the SI
Any comments you can email me directly and I will send you my phone number
and discuss any technical issues or just to answer all of you questions.

LOS ANGELES, March 2, 2011 – The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) has joined forces with SolarWorld to develop an 11.6-megawatt (MW) DC solar system that will generate clean, renewable solar energy to power homes in Los Angeles.
The project pairs the nation's largest municipal utility with the largest and most experienced U.S. manufacturer of crystalline solar power technology. LADWP will install, own and operate the system while SolarWorld will supply complete system engineering and high-performance solar panels and procure balance-of-system components, including advanced SMA America inverters to convert power from the system to 10 MW AC power for transmission to Los Angeles.
Work on the project commenced in February at the LADWP's existing high-desert Adelanto Switching and Convertor Station, after the Board of Water and Power Commissioners approved the project agreement in December 2010. Preliminary designs for the project have been delivered, soil testing has concluded and detailed engineering at Adelanto is now under way.
Aside from supplying 46,322 250-watt SolarWorld Sunmodules, the company will tap project engineering expertise of SolarWorld specialists in the company's Camarillo operations, which have pioneered solar technology since 1975.
The Adelanto project is expected to produce 22,400 megawatt-hours (MWH) during its first year and 515,700 MWH over a 25-year period. The system will feature several innovative design elements, including interconnection into a critical bulk-grid substation as well as a more efficient, leading-edge 1,000-volt solar power system. Further, the system will incorporate SolarWorld Sunfix ground-mount systems featuring flexible aluminum structures to minimize site-preparation costs.
"The technical features of Adelanto are advanced, and the design requirements are more sophisticated than typical systems of this size," said Raju Yenamandra, U.S. vice president of sales and a 30-year veteran of SolarWorld's plant in Camarillo. "But having built the world's first 1 MW system in California in 1981 and adapted many system types since then, we look forward to once again demonstrating our project-engineering ingenuity."
The Adelanto solar array will be built on a 42-acre site about 65 miles north of Los Angeles in the town of Adelanto, Calif. The station there serves as the southern terminus of LADWP's Southern Transmission System, which links Southern California with renewable energy wind farms and the existing Intermountain Power Project in Utah.
The Adelanto project is one of three LADWP renewable energy projects to be financed by federal Qualified Energy Conservation Bonds. The bonds, offered through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, save LADWP customers money by subsidizing loan interest costs.
The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, the nation's largest municipal utility, provides reliable, low-cost water and power services to Los Angeles residents and businesses in an environmentally responsible manner. LADWP serves about 1.4 million electric customers and 680,000 water customers in Los Angeles. For more information, please visit www.ladwp.com. For the latest news about LADWP, please visit www.ladwpnews.com.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - For the first and quite possibly the only time in his career, the Kansas City Royals have parlayed Billy Butler's plodding foot speed parlayed into a win.
At 6-foot-1 and 250 pounds, the burly DH does not run so much as he chugs.
But with the game tied with two out in the eighth on Sunday, Butler hustled to first base to keep the inning alive.
Then he hurried with all his might a few minutes later and was safe at third, allowing Eric Hosmer to cross the plate with the tiebreaking run in what turned into a 6-4 victory over Washington, snapping KC's seven-game losing streak.
"All you can do is put the ball in play and dig. And that's what I did," Butler said with a grin.
With two out and Hosmer on first and the game tied 4-all, Butler hit a hard grounder that first baseman Adam LaRoche knocked down.
The ball rolled several feet to his right and when pitcher Craig Stammen was late to cover the bag, the slow-running Butler pulled into first with an infield single.
"The pitcher's supposed to get over there," Butler said. "They had to know I don't run very well. But all I could do was run, and I beat him after he didn't get off to a good start at first."
Stammen then walked Mike Moustakas on fourth pitches and Salvador Perez hit a hard grounder to shortstop Ian Desmond.
He bobbled the ball momentarily and his throw to third was late, allowing Hosmer to cross the plate on an infield single and making it possible for Royals manager Ned Yost to take a deep breath.
"It seems like when you're going through those (losing) streaks, every decision you make doesn't work," Yost said.
"Do I pinch run? (for Butler) Do I not pinch run? My heart kind of sunk there for a minute thinking as soon as it was hit and I see him going to third. But he ends up making it."
David Lough's RBI single brought in the sixth run as the Nationals saw the end of a five-game road winning streak.
Nationals manager Davey Johnson thought Butler should have been out at first, sending the teams into the ninth tied 4-4.
"(LaRoche) bobbled the ball and then still had time to walk to first," Johnson said. "We should have got him out. With a ball hit right at him you can usually go to first."
Kelvin Herrera (5-6) pitched 1 1-3 innings of relief for only the Royals' third victory in 13 games. Stammen (7-6) took the loss and was part of a shaky defense.
Greg Holland pitched the ninth for his 35th save in 37 opportunities, giving up two singles but striking out the side. Stammen went one inning and gave up three hits and two earned runs.
Butler was not about to say the Royals were due a few good breaks.
"This game never owes you anything. You can't be looking for breaks," he said. "You can just play the game hard and hope the ball falls on your side."
Royals starter Ervin Santana was handed a 4-0 lead after the first inning but gave up three home runs, including Bryce Harper's two-run shot with two out in the seventh that tied it 4-all.
Santana had a 4-1 lead and two out in the seventh when Denard Span's third hit of the day went for his third home run of the year.
Ryan Zimmerman followed with a single, bringing a visit to the mound by Royals pitching coach Dave Eiland. Harper then hit Santana's next pitch over the fence in left-center, bringing Herrera in from the bullpen.
Washington starter Dan Haren entered the game 4-0 in six career starts at Kauffman Stadium and had never allowed more than two earned runs in K.C.
But that quickly changed.
On Haren's third pitch, Alex Gordon hit the 11th leadoff home run of his career. After Emilio Bonifacio walked, Hosmer hit an RBI single. Hosmer was out trying to steal, then Moustakas singled and Perez homered for a 4-0 lead against Haren, who had been 4-2 since coming back from the DL on July 8.
Haren was in danger again in the second and was saved by a standout double play started by LaRoche, who dove to his right to grab a line drive off Gordon's bat. From his knees, LaRoche threw to second base to double off Alcides Escobar.
After that, Haren allowed only two singles while going seven innings. He was charged with four runs and eight hits.
In the Nationals' fourth, Desmond homered for the second time in two games. The ball bounced off the facade of the Royals' hall of fame behind left field and was estimated at 431 feet.
Span drilled a ball off Santana's right hip with one out in the third, the ball bounding all the way into foul territory behind third base while Anthony Rendon went from second to third.
But after testing the leg and visiting with the Royals trainer on the mound, Santana stayed in to strike out Zimmerman and retire Harper on a shallow fly.
Santana was charged with four runs and 11 hits in 6 2-3 innings, with seven strikeouts and no walks.
Notes: The Royals had a fifth straight losing season in interleague competition. ... Kansas City faces Tampa Bay today to make up a game that was snowed out in May.
