While crews continue to make progress on the Miner Paradise Complex fire, some are still worried about thunderstorms moving into area. Thunderstorms and gusty winds continue to develop in the areas of the four fires burning in the complex, which could create high winds and spread the fires even more.
Overnight, the fires only grew a few acres. The East Fork Hyalite area still remains closed. National Forest System lands around the south area of the Chico vicinity are also closed.
A meeting will be held on Saturday at the Paradise Valley Fire Hall at 7 p.m. to update the public on the fires.

Just an fyi - on the page
Just an fyi - on the page that links to this one, it says that "showcasing beautiful fish X-rays from the Department of Invertebrate Zoology." It should say Vertebrate Zoology - fish are vertebrates, not invertebrates!
Scientists in the Division of Fishes at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History use X-ray imaging to study the complex bone structure and diversity of fish. This image gallery showcases X-ray images of sharks, their relatives, and bony fish, revealing how some fish have skeletons built from cartilage while others are built from bone.
In 2012, the National Museum of Natural History displayed "X-Ray Vision: Fish Inside Out," a temporary exhibit that showcased fish evolution and diversity through 40 black and white X-ray images prepared for research purposes. Each X-ray is paired with a photograph of the preserved fish specimen, demostrating the value of radiography as a means of study that does not damage or destroy the specimen. See the touring schedule to find out where this exhibit will be shown next, through 2015.
To see even more photos from the exhibit, visit Encyclopedia of Life's X-Ray Vision Collection.
The distinctive form of a winghead shark (Eusphyra blochii) is revealed by an X-ray image. The Winghead Shark, one of about ten species of hammerhead sharks, has its eyes set at the tips of its wide, T-shaped head, giving it superb binocular vision.

The elongated body, characteristic long and narrow snout, and small teeth make the slender snipe eel (Nemichthys scolopaceus) easily identifiable in this X-ray image. Snipe eels live at great depths in the ocean: this specimen was collected at over 2,000 meters (more than a mile down) in the North Atlantic. They swim with their mouths open, feed on invertebrates, and have over 700 vertebrae—more than any other animal.

The robust oval, spine covered body of a long-spined porcupine fish (Diodon holocanthus) is revealed in this X-ray image. To ward off predators, a porcupinefish inflates its body by pumping water into its stomach, transforming the fish into a round, rigid ball bristling with spines.
Sandra J. Raredon / Smithsonian Institution
An X-ray image of a Monterey skate, Raja montereyensis, reveals a spine that extends like a tail out from the pelvic fin. The skeletons of skates, rays, chimaeras, and sharks are made of cartilage, rather than bone.

An X-ray image of grooved razorfish (Centriscus scutatus). Razorfish are encased in thin, transparent bony plates attached to their spines, which you can see in the X-ray. Also known as shrimpfish, razorfish have a unique swimming style: they keep their bodies vertical (heads down, tails up) while propelling themselves forward in schools. Note that the back of the fish is bony and nearly straight; all of its fins are on its belly.
Sandra J. Raredon / Smithsonian Institution
The clearly pictured spines, rays and snout make identifying this longnose butterflyfish (Forcipiger longirostris), which was collected in French Polynesia in 2004, straightforward in this X-ray image. Like butterflies, many butterflyfish have dramatic coloration, often yellow and black, and "eyespots" on their bodies.
Sandra J. Raredon / Smithsonian Institution
The long toothy rostrum or "saw" gives sawfish their common name. They use the saw to dig in the sand for crustaceans or to attack prey by vigorously slashing from side to side. This smalltooth sawfish (Pristis pectinata) is endangered in the U.S. because of habitat loss as mangroves are destroyed, and because their saws are easily caught in fishing nets.
In the X-ray image of this Viper Moray Eel (Enchelynassa canina), note the second set of jaws in the "throat"; these are the gill arches, which are present in all fish. Gill arches support the gills, the major respiratory organ of fish.
Tropical hatchetfish (Argyropelecus lychnus), like the one shown in this X-ray photograph, live in the dark depths of the ocean; this specimen was collected at about 2,789 feet (850 meters) in the Pacific. As with many other deep-sea fishes, their eyes are large and their bellies have numerous small cream-colored spots (or "light organs") that are bioluminescent. Each species emits its own unique pattern of light.
Just an fyi - on the page that links to this one, it says that "showcasing beautiful fish X-rays from the Department of Invertebrate Zoology." It should say Vertebrate Zoology - fish are vertebrates, not invertebrates!
nice presentation
this is amazing because i never thort that a sting ray would look like that

- Oh what a beautiful day, I can't believe my luck. This has got to be the best looking girl I've had on my couch to date. She's absolutely amazing, and bears a striking resemblance to Anna Kournikova... All I could think about was getting balls deep inside her, and venturing inside her tight moist pussy. Her best mate came along to help her because she didn't speak much English, so naturally I tried to get her to partake in the casting too but she deflected my advances. I think I might have made her feel a bit uncomfortable, but hey it was worth a shot right? It didn't bother me that much because the real prize was sitting on the sofa, let's face it she's the one I wanted to do naughty things too. I asked her about her interests and she said that she enjoyed singing and dancing, I told her about my karaoke set up in my house and offered her to come and sing with me. This girl could go anywhere she wanted with her looks, a couple of times I had to pinch myself to believe that she was actually sitting on my sofa. Jennifer seemed very impressed when I told her about how much money she could make. She was definitely the full package. Her pussy was so tight I nearly jizzed prematurely on a few occasions, but I managed to withhold the off load until the last glorious moment when I sprayed all inside her mouth... What a day for Jimmy Junior, I'll have to promote him after this.

On Sunday, August 20, 1989, the body of an unidentified African-American female was discovered in the bed of a 1972 Ford Courier pickup. This vehicle appeared abandoned and was parked on NE Ivy Street, just east of Martin Luther King Junior Boulevard. The body was in a state of decomposition.
An autopsy was performed and the cause of death was determined to be blunt force trauma. As a result of the autopsy, the body was identified as Althene Hines, a 43-year-old African-American female. Ms. Hines lived in the 5000 block of NE 23rd Avenue and was last seen alive on Thursday, August 17, 1989, three days prior to the discovery of her body.
Investigators at the time believed that Ms. Hines was not killed at the location where her body was found. They suspect she was murdered somewhere else then transported, probably in a vehicle, to the Ford Courier pickup.
If you or anyone you know has any information regarding the death of Althene Hines you are encouraged to contact CrimeStoppers at 503-823-HELP

Description: Petit gyuto hocho, meaning small slicing knives, are a great general purpose kitchen utility knife. The 5 1/2 - 6 1/2 inch slender blade makes it very useful and versatile from slicing fruit to chopping garlic.
Bu-Rei-Zen by RyuSen is among the finest cutlery ever made -- combining Super Gold II (SG2) powdered metallurgical (PM) steel with RyuSen's handmade craftsmanship clearly makes the Bu-Rei-Zen line one of our shop favorites. Our shop had long enjoyed the Blazen line, but when Epicurean Edge owner, Daniel O�Malley, met with Ryusen on one of his trips to Japan, RyuSen agreed to re-develop the line with some substantial improvements � clearly making it a shining star in the Epicurean Edge line-up.
The laminated core steel was changed to SG2 stainless PM steel for its superior edge holding and keenness. The fit of the traditional wooden sheath (saya) was drastically improved by including a magnet to securely hold the knife in place for storage. The English Blazen text was replaced by artistically marking the knife and saya with the Bu-Rei-Zen logo in Kanji.
RyuSen starts with ultra-modern, limited production, SG2 PM stainless steel and forges this between two layers of SUS410L stainless steel. The resulting edge is tempered to Rc 61 - 63 (very hard!) for exceptional edge holding, but is easy to sharpen.Following in the best tradition of knife making, a steel ferrule is forge-welded to the tang to ensure that food particles cannot become lodged between the tang and the wooden handle. Both the blade and tang are distal tapered for the best possible balance and performance. The handle, made from multiple layers of wood impregnated with resin, is riveted to the full length tang and will last a lifetime. The blades are fully honed and some of the sharpest knives we have ever found. Accompanied by traditional lacquered wooden sheath (saya). Each knife is packed in a special gift box.
Availability: In stock. Usually ships in 1-2 business days

DS, 3.5, has recently started using the third person a lot. It was really sudden and I am not sure what triggered it. But now it's "Sonny wants some milk", "Sonny has to go potty," etc. He has never been as articulate or easy to understand as his sister who is super verbal, but he was an early talker and has a pretty advanced vocabulary. It's very hard to model the correct answer for him rather than to just correct hime - ie, because it comes out as "I (mommy) want some milk" and that doesn't give him the correct pronoun. He definitely knows he's doing it and says he just likes to talk that way. My concern is that he is doing it so frequently it is becoming a habit. And it just sounds weird! (Anyone old enough to remember Jimmy from Seinfeld??)
Has anyone else experienced something like this? Any advance?

Dohnányi's Serenade for String Trio provides the most extensive work in this disc's unusual programme. The score offers an attractive blend of warmth in the second movement acting as a foil to the perkiness of the Scherzo and the inventiveness of the theme and variations. In this performance dynamics are graded throughout with meticulous exactitude, but the trio's attention to every nuance is never allowed to detract from a liberating sense of vivid spontaneity. Intonation is spotless and there's an ideal balance between instruments, with Lawrence Power's viola delivering more strength to the centre ground than we normally hear.
The first part of the disc is devised around the outstanding oboist François Leleux, and his playing in Mozart's Oboe Quartet displays exceptional finesse set against a nicely blended and elegant backdrop. The origin of the arrangements for oboe and violin of three arias from The Magic Flute is not stated, and they are, at best, of passing interest, a description that equally applies to the incomplete Adagio probably intended for cor anglais, violin, viola and cello.
Britten's Phantasy Quartet for oboe and strings, written when he was just 19, makes imaginative use of the four instruments: the composer reinvents conventional melody in modern terms and also bringing a sense of good humour in the charming little march that concludes the work.
The balance is too generous to Leleux in the Mozart pieces, but is much better in the Britten, while the sound is very good in a completely different ambience for the Dohnányi.

I applied for a position online and a recruiter contacted me within the week. The recruiter was very friendly, helpful, and really made me feel like he was on my side as well as ensuring the position was a good match. I was asked to come in for a interview the next week.
The interview was an hour and consisted of the manager who I'd be working for and the recruiter. The interview was involved a case study, which I had not expected at all, to see how I would work through a problem. Unfortunately, the hiring was put on hold and so they stopped the interview process. I kept up with the recruiter who in a few weeks contacted me for a similar opening.

The Phillies went meekly in the first two games of their three-game series with the Rockies. The bad news is the Phils look like a team that thinks they might not be good enough to win. The worse news is that as worn down as they are they might be right.
No matter how bad the team, and the pitching in particular, may look today, there's a good chance things will look different 20 or 30 games down the line. When they do, the Phils might wish they had some of these games back, because they sure looked wiling to sleepwalk through till the All-Star break as the series started in Colorado.
In both games they Phillies led early. In Friday's game they managed two hits in the last six innings, both of them singles. On Saturday night they had three hits in eight scoreless frames after the first inning.
Yesterday the Phillies lost 6-3 to drop back below .500 at 43-44.
Jamie Moyer got the start for the Phillies and went 5 2/3 innings, allowing five runs on eight hits and three walks. Four of the hits went for extra-bases, three doubles and a home run. He struck out two.
Up 3-0 in the first, Moyer walked Ryan Spilborghs to start the inning. Jamey Carroll hit a ground ball to third and Spilborghs was forced at second. Matt Holliday flew to left for the second out, but Todd Helton doubled to right, scoring Carroll and cutting the Phils' lead to 3-1. Moyer struck out Garrett Atkins to end the inning.
Troy Tulowitski walked and stole second to start the second inning, but Moyer got the next three.
Spilborghs singled to start the third, but Moyer got the next three.
After a 1-2-3 fourth, Moyer started the fifth still up 3-1. Yorvit Torrealba led off the inning with a double, and after pinch-hitter Willy Taveras grounded back to the pitcher, Spilborghs homered to left to tie the game at 3-3. Carroll followed with a single and Holliday reached on an error by Utley. It put men on first and second for Helton, who singled into right. Carroll scored to put the Rockies up 4-3. Moyer got Atkins to hit into a double-play to end the inning.
With one out in the sixth, Brad Hawpe doubled and Torrealba followed with a walk. Jeff Baker hit for the Rockies' pitcher and, with Baker at the plate, Coste picked Hawpe off of second for the second out. It saved the Phillies at least one run -- Baker singled to left, moving Torrealba to second. With the righty Spilborghs at the plate, Sanches replaced Moyer. Spilborghs singled to right, scoring Torreabla and moving Baker to third with Colorado up 5-3. Sanches got Carroll on a diving play by Rowand in right-center. Great diving catch that saved two runs for the Phils.
Anderson Garcia started the seventh for the Phils, making his major-league debut. He got Holliday on a fly ball to center before Helton singled to left. Atkins flew to left for the second out, but Tulowitski moved Helton to second with a single. JC Romero came in to pitch to the lefty Hawpe, who drove in Helton and moved Tulowitski to third with a single into center. Torreabla grounded back to Romero to end the inning.
Romero has yet to be charged with a run in six appearances with the Phils. He allowed one charged to Garcia in the seventh. He has yet to get more than two outs in an appearance. Zagurski, his fellow lefty in the pen, had gotten three outs two of his last three times out.
Zagurski pitched a 1-2-3 eighth to lower his ERA to 4.70.
The Phillies' lineup against righty Rodrigo Lopez, who the Phillies did not trade for Pat Burrell, went (1) Rollins (2) Victorino (3) Utley (4) Howard (5) Rowand (6) Dobbs (7) Helms (8) Coste. Dobbs in left and Helms at third.
Rollins led off the game with a home run. 1-0. Utley doubled with one out and Howard hit one out the opposite way. 3-0. Dobbs doubled with two outs and Helms followed with a walk, but Coste grounded to second for the third out.
Then the game was delayed by rain for an hour and 22 minutes.
Victorino singled with two outs in the second, but Utley grounded to short to end the inning.
The Phils went 1-2-3 in the third, fourth and fifth.
Dobbs doubled with two outs in the sixth, but Helms flew to center to turn the Phillies away.
Coste started the seventh with a single, but the pinch-hitter Ruiz struck out and Rollins hit into a double-play.
The Phillies went 1-2-3 in the eighth.
Manny Corpas struck out Rowand, Dobbs and Helms in the ninth for his first career save.
Rollins was 1-for-4 with his 16th home run.
Victorino 1-for-4.
Utley 1-for-4 with a double.
Howard 1-for-4 with a two-run homer run and three strikeouts.
Rowand 0-for-4.
Dobbs 2-for-4 with two doubles.
Helms 0-for-3 with a walk.
Coste 1-for-3.
On Friday, the Phillies
couldn't hold a 6-1 lead and lost 7-6 in eleven innings.
Kyle Kendrick got the start for the Phils and went six innings, allowing three runs on ten hits. Three of the hits went for extra-bases, all doubles. He walked one and struck out two.
Up 3-0 in the first he gave up a leadoff double to Tavares. He got the next two before Helton walked to put men on first and second. Atkins grounded to short to end the inning.
Hawpe doubled to start the second and Tulowitski moved him to third with a fly ball to right that Victorino caught in foul territory. Torrealba grounded to third and Hawpe scored to cut the Phillies' lead to 4-1. Jeff Francis grounded to short to end the inning.
Matsui reached on an infield single with one out in third. Holliday hit a ground ball to short and the Phils forced Matsui at second with Holliday safe at first. Holliday was caught stealing for the third out.
With one out in the fourth, Atkins doubled and moved to third on a single by Hawpe. Kendrick kept the Rockies off the board, though, getting Tulowitski on a popup to second after a long run by Utley and Torrealba on a ground ball to short.
Up 6-1 in the fifth, Kendrick gave up back-to-back singles to pinch-hitter Cory Sullivan and Tavares. It put men on first and second, but Kendrick got Matsui, Holliday and Helton to turn the Rockies away.
Kendrick got the first two in the sixth before Tulowitski and Torrealba singled back-to-back. On Torrealba's single Rowand threw to third, allowing Torrelaba to move to second. Sullivan followed with a single to left that scored two runs, making it 6-3. Three hits in a row with two outs, and Rowand's throw to third costs the Phils a run. Kendrick struck out pinch-hitter Jeff Baker to end the inning.
Zagurski started the seventh up 6-3. He got the first man before Holliday homered to make it 6-4. Helton followed with a walk and moved to second on a single by Atkins. Zagurski struck out the lefty Hawpe and Mesa came in to get the righty Tulowitski to pop to second for the third out.
Mesa started the eighth. Torrealba doubled and Sullivan moved him to third with a single. Pinch-hitter Ryan Spilborghs hit a sac fly to right and Torrealba scored to make it 6-5. Matsui walked, moving Sullivan to second. Mesa got Holliday to hit into a double-play to end the inning.
Romero started the ninth up 6-5 and got the lefty Helton on a ground ball to first. Alfonseca entered the game and got the righty Atkins on a fly ball to left. He got ahead of the lefty Hawpe 1-2 before Hawpe tied the game at 6-6 with a home run to center. Tulowitski reached on a single before Torrealba grounded to third to end the inning. Fourth straight inning the Phillies' pitchers had allowed runs.
Durbin started the tenth and gave up a leadoff walk to Sullivan, but set the next three hitters down.
He returned for the eleventh. With one out he walked Atkins, who moved to second on a single by Hawpe. Durbin struck out Tulowitski for the second out, but Torrealba singled into center to score Atkins and give the Rockies a 7-6 win.
The Phillies' pen goes 3 2/3 innings, allowing four runs on eight hits and four walks. The Rockies' pen goes six scoreless innings, allowing two hits and two walks.
The Phillies' lineup against lefty Jeff Francis went (1) Rollins (2) Victorino (3) Utley (4) Howard (5) Rowand (6) Burrell (7) Helms (8) Coste. Burrell should hit between Utley and Howard against lefites, but looks like it's never going to happen.
Rollins started the first with a ground-rule double to center. Victorino lined to right for the first out, but Utley singled to right and Rollins scored to put the Phils up 1-0. Howard flew to left for the second out before Rowand hit another ground-rule double, this one to right-center, moving Utley to third. Burrell smashed a single to the wall in left but had to hold first as two runs scored to put the Phils up 3-0. Helms reached on an infield single up the third-base line that Torrealba touching thinking it had gone foul and Coste singled off of Francis' leg, loading the bases for Kendrick. Kendrick grounded to third to end the frame.
Victorino doubled with one out in the second. Utley struck out for the second out before Howard singled to left, scoring Victorino to put the Phils up 4-0. Rowand doubled to center and Howard was thrown out at the plate to set the Phillies down.
The Phils went 1-2-3 in the third.
Rollins singled to start the fourth, but Victorino followed and hit into a double-play. Utley flew to left for the third out.
Rowand hit his third double of the game with one out in the fifth. Burrell followed with a walk and Helms doubled to center. Two runs scored and the Phils led 6-1. Coste grounded to second and Kendrick struck out to end the frame.
With one out in the sixth the Phils put men on first and third on a walk by Victorino and a single by Utley. Howard struck out and Rowand grounded to third to turn the Phillies away. Howard's strikeout hurt a lot there.
The Phillies went 1-2-3 in the seventh and eighth.
With one out in the ninth, Howard singled and Rowand followed with a walk. It put men on first and second with one out for Jose Mesa, of course, Burrell had been double-switched out of the game in the seventh. Dobbs pinch-hit for Mesa with the righty Jorge Julio on the hill, and flew to center for the second out. Helms struck out to end the frame.
1-2-3 in the tenth. 1-2-3 in the eleventh.
Rollins was 2-for-6 with a double.

The 59-year-old retiree is no thief and now has a sign posted on his front door reading in part, "No Lost Cell Phones." He even sleeps near the front door in order to answer it more quickly when angry people arrive, demanding their phones back anyway.
The problem only seems to affect Sprint iPhones and company officials are investigating potential causes.
"It's very difficult to say, 'I don't have your phone,' in any other way other than, 'I don't have your phone,'" he told the paper.
It's a tough situation that we hope is resolved quickly.

aspirin and oxycodone (cont.)
What happens if I miss a dose (Endodan, Percodan, Roxiprin)?
Since aspirin and oxycodone is taken as needed, you may not be on a dosing schedule. If you are taking the medication regularly, take the missed dose as soon as you remember. Skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do not take extra medicine to make up the missed dose.
What happens if I overdose (Endodan, Percodan, Roxiprin)?
Seek emergency medical attention or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222. An overdose of aspirin and oxycodone can be fatal.
Overdose symptoms may include extreme drowsiness, pinpoint pupils, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, confusion, ringing in your ears, cold or clammy skin, muscle weakness, fainting, weak pulse, slow heart rate, coma, blue lips, shallow breathing, or no breathing.
What should I avoid while taking aspirin and oxycodone (Endodan, Percodan, Roxiprin)?
Aspirin and oxycodone may impair your thinking or reactions. Be careful if you drive or do anything that requires you to be alert.
Ask a doctor or pharmacist before using any other over-the-counter cold, allergy, or pain medicine. Aspirin is contained in many combination medicines. Taking certain products together can cause you to get too much aspirin. Check the label to see if a medicine contains aspirin.
Avoid drinking alcohol. It may increase your risk of stomach bleeding while taking aspirin.
What other drugs will affect aspirin and oxycodone (Endodan, Percodan, Roxiprin)?
Before using this medication, tell your doctor if you regularly use other medicines that make you sleepy or could slow your breathing (such as cold or allergy medicine, sedatives, narcotic pain medicine, sleeping pills, muscle relaxers, and medicine for seizures, depression, or anxiety). They can add to sleepiness caused by aspirin and oxycodone.
Tell your doctor about all other medicines you use, especially:
This list is not complete and other drugs may interact with aspirin and oxycodone. Tell your doctor about all medications you use. This includes prescription, over-the-counter, vitamin, and herbal products. Do not start a new medication without telling your doctor.
Where can I get more information?
Your pharmacist can provide more information about aspirin and oxycodone.
Report Problems to the Food and Drug Administration
You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit the FDA MedWatch website or call 1-800-FDA-1088.

Circulating Tumor Cells (CTC) for Prostate Cancer by CellSearch, Blood
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
According to the American Cancer Society, prostate cancer claims approximately 28,000 lives each year, the vast majority of which are a result of metastatic disease. Although there are many options for the treatment of metastatic prostate cancer, oncologists often have to wait several months after initiation of treatment before they can determine if the treatment is beneficial to the patient.
The CellSearch System identifies and enumerates the number of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in a blood specimen.(1) Studies suggest that the number of CTCs is associated with progression-free and overall survival in patients with metastatic prostate cancer.(2,3)
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
An aid in the monitoring of patients with metastatic prostate cancer
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
In patients with metastatic prostate cancer, the finding of > or =5 circulating tumor cells/7.5 mL of blood is predictive of shorter progression-free survival and overall survival.(2)
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
This test is FDA approved only for monitoring prostate cancer patients with metastatic disease and is not suitable for monitoring prostate cancer patients with nonmetastatic disease.
The CellSearch System has also been FDA approved for breast and colon cancer. For breast cancer patients, order CTCB / Circulating Tumor Cells (CTC) for Breast Cancer by CellSearch, Blood. For colon cancer patients, order CTCC / Circulating Tumor Cells (CTC) for Colorectal Cancer by CellSearch, Blood.
Patients on doxorubicin (Adriamvcin) must wait a minimum of 7 days after administration before blood can be drawn for this test.
Blood specimens must be drawn into a CellSave tube and processed in the laboratory within 96 hours of draw.
This test does not provide information about the primary site of a tumor.
This test does not predict whether patients with unfavorable results will have better clinical outcomes if switched to alternative treatment regiments.
The presence of ferrofluid aggregates observed after processing a patient specimen may lead to false negative results. A retest is advised.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
An interpretive report will be provided.
Clinical References Provides recommendations for further in-depth reading of a clinical nature

openSUSE 11.1 Downloads: 175TByte traffic in first 30 hours
It didn't quite make the planned 200TB, but with 175BT in 30 hours, openSUSE 11.1 has again set a new download record.
openSUSE has published first figures regarding downloads of Version 11.1. Taking the 4.3GByte DVD downloads into consideration, openSUSE counted 40.000 downloads of Version 11.1 in the first 30 hours with the 32 bit version making up 58% of downloads, the 64bit variation 31%. The Live and Add-on CD versions accounting for the rest. The figures relate to the direct downloads from software.opensuse.org only, disregarding the download numbers from mirror servers.
For the 64bit Version, the figures mark an increase of 3% over last year with the complete download volume up 5% (163 TByte for 11.0). Around 23.500 users have uploaded hardware profiles over smolt and with the help of IP addresses, the openSUSE Project has counted about 100.000 updates.

Rickey Henderson Quotes
Again, this is a list of 25 Rickey Henderson quotes and stories I've seen posted on numerous sports sites and blogs. I'm not sure of the origin of this list (or if all of these are true) but it certainly shows that Rickey is quite the character, and also not the sharpest knife in the drawer. One thing's for sure: his speech on Sunday will be a must-watch event:
1) Rickey, on referring to himself in the third person:"Listen, people are always saying, 'Rickey says Rickey.' But it's been blown way out of proportion. People might catch me, when they know I'm ticked off, saying, 'Rickey, what the heck are you doing, Rickey?' They say, 'Darn, Rickey, what are you saying Rickey for? Why don't you just say, 'I?' But I never did. I always said, 'Rickey,' and it became something for people to joke about."
2) In the early 1980s, the Oakland A's accounting department was freaking out. The books were off $1 million. After an investigation, it was determined Rickey was the reason why. The GM asked him about a $1 million bonus he had received and Rickey said instead of cashing it, he framed it and hung it on a wall at his house.
3) In 1996, Henderson's first season with San Diego, he boarded the team bus and was looking for a seat. Steve Finley said, "You have tenure, sit wherever you want." Henderson looked at Finley and said, "Ten years? Ricky's been playing at least 16, 17 years."
4) This one supposedly happened the season Rickey ended up playing with the Red Sox. Henderson called San Diego GM Kevin Towers and left the following message: "This is Rickey calling on behalf of Rickey. Rickey wants to play baseball."
5) This one happened in Seattle. Rickey struck out and as the next batter was walking past him, he heard Henderson say, "Don't worry, Rickey, you're still the best."
6) Rickey once asked a teammate how long it would take him to drive to the Dominican Republic.
7) Moments after breaking Lou Brock's stolen base record, Henderson told the crowd – with Brock mere feet next to him – "Lou Brock was a great base stealer, but today, I am the greatest of all-time."
8) Henderson once fell asleep on an ice pack and got frostbite – which forced him to miss three games — in mid-August.
9) A reporter asked Henderson if Ken Caminiti's estimate that 50 percent of Major League players were taking steroids was accurate. His response was, "Well, Rickey's not one of them, so that's 49 percent right there."
10) Henderson broke Ty Cobb's career record for runs scored with a home run. After taking his usual 45 seconds or so around the bases, Rickey slid into home plate.
11) On being Nolan Ryan's 5,000th career strikeout: "It gave me no chance. He (Ryan) just blew it by me. But it's an honor. I'll have another paragraph in all the baseball books. I'm already in the books three or four times."
12) San Diego GM Kevin Towers was trying to contact Rickey at a nearby hotel. He knew Henderson always used fake names to avoid the press, fans, etc. He was trying to think like Rickey and after several attempts; he was able to get Henderson on the phone. Rickey had checked in under Richard Pryor.
13) The morning after the Sox finished off the sweep against St. Louis last October, Henderson called someone in the organization looking for tickets to Game 6 at Fenway Park.
14) The Mets were staying in a hotel less than a mile from Cinergy Field in Cincinnati. While some players walked, most took the team bus. A few minutes after they arrived — again it was less than a mile – the last players off the bus noticed a stretched limo that had just pulled up. Of course, Rickey emerged from the back seat.
15) A reporter once asked Rickey if he talked to himself, "Do I talk to myself? No, I just remind myself of what I'm trying to do. You know, I never answer myself so how can I be talking to myself?"
16) According to both parties involved, this one's not true. But here is is anyhow. The story went that a few weeks into Henderson's stint with the Mariners, he walked up to Olerud at the batting cage and asked him why he wore a batting helmet in the field. Olerud explained that he had an aneurysm at nine years old and he wore the helmet for protection. Legend goes that Henderson said, "Yeah, I used to play with a guy that had the same thing."Legend also goes that Olerud said, "That was me, Rickey."Henderson played with Olerud on the Blue Jays and the Mets.
17) Rickey was asked if he had the Garth Brooks album with Friends in Low Places and Henderson said, "Rickey doesn't have albums. Rickey has CDs."
18) During a contract holdout with Oakland in the early 1990s, Henderson said, "If they want to pay me like Mike Gallego, I'll play like Gallego."
19) In the late 1980s, the Yankees sent Henderson a six-figure bonus check. After a few months passed, an internal audit revealed the check had not been cashed. Current Yankees GM Brian Cashman – then a low-level nobody with the organization – called Rickey and asked if there was a problem with the check. Henderson said, "I'm just waiting for the money market rates to go up."
20) In June 1999, when Henderson was playing with the Mets, he saw reporters running around the clubhouse before a game. He asked a teammate what was going on and he was told that Tom Robson, the team's hitting coach, had just been fired. Henderson said, "Who's he?"
21) Rickey was pulled over by a San Diego police officer for speeding. As the officer was approaching Rickey's car, the window went down a few inches and a folded $100 bill emerged. The officer let Rickey and his money head home without a ticket.
22) When he was on the Yankees in the mid-1980s, Henderson told teammates that his condo had such a great view that he could see, "The Entire State Building."
23) During one of his stays with Oakland, Henderson's locker was next to Billy Beane's. After making the team out of spring training, Beane was sent to the minors after a few months. Upon his return, about six weeks later, Henderson looked at Beane and said, "Hey, man, where have you been? Haven't seen you in awhile."
24) To this day and dating back 25 years, before every game he plays, Henderson stands completely naked in front of a full length locker room mirror and says, "Ricky's the best," for several minutes.
25) In the last week of his lone season with the Red Sox, Chairman Tom Werner asked Henderson what he would like for his 'going-away' gift. Henderson said he wasn't going anywhere, but he would like owner John Henry's Mercedes. Werner said it would be tough to get the same make and model in less than a week and Henderson said, "No, I want his car." Turns out the Sox got Henderson a Red Thunderbird and when he saw it on the field before the last game of the season, Rickey said, "Whose ugly car is on the field?"
How about a few that aren't so funny? I found these on Baseball Almanac:
"I don't want to be one of those great players who never made it to the (World) Series."
"If my uniform doesn't get dirty, I haven't done anything in the baseball game."
"Lou Brock was a great base stealer but today I am the greatest."
Congrats Rickey! You are still (and may always be) the great base stealer in Major League history.

On Rickey Henderson's quotes..Number 22
Ken Griffey Sr. Told us a story when we rented out the Living Legends' Suite at Great American Ball Park, in 2004, that he and Rickey were eating dinner and Rickey was hitting on the waitress and told her that he had a penthouse with a view of the "Entire State Building"
The waitress replied, "Don't you mean the EMPIRE State building?"
Rickey said, and I quote Senior, "Yeah, Rickey can see that too!"

CineMate™ 1 SR home theater speaker system
- Spacious home theater sound from a sleek soundbar speaker
- System sound customized to room size, shape and furnishings
- Easily connects directly to your HDTV, no receiver required
- Wireless Acoustimass™ module for low-note performance
- Flexmount™ technology ensures optimal performance wherever soundbar is positioned
A roomful of sound. One slim speaker. A perfect match for the home theater enthusiast who values elegant design. The CineMate 1 SR speaker system provides thrilling home theater audio that you might expect from a multi-speaker system. But its singular, sleek profile makes an ideal complement to your HDTV. It's a minimalist approach to home entertainment—with maximum performance from a soundbar speaker.
Exclusive Bose® innovations enable wide, spacious sound that extends well beyond the speaker's physical size. A wireless Acoustimass module adds emphatic low notes to movies, music and games while neatly tucked from view. It's 3D-compatible, too, so the audio portion of 3D content will sound as intended. And it's all controlled with a simplified universal remote.
This soundbar speaker system packs a notable amount of technology in its slender frame. All you'll notice is immersive sound that resets expectations for 1.1-channel systems.
Place it here ... or there
Any way you look at it, the CineMate 1 SR speaker system is designed to fit your style. Flush-mount it on a wall, or lay it flat on a table. Proprietary Flexmount technology detects the speaker's orientation and ensures optimal audio output however you position the speaker. It's a breakthrough that sets the CineMate 1 SR speaker apart from conventional soundbar speakers. But you'll see it fits right in with your TV.
The CineMate 1 SR speaker features PhaseGuide™ and array technologies, first introduced in our revolutionary VideoWave™ entertainment system. They work together with TrueSpace™ technology to direct sound with precision, sending acoustic detail to the left, right and center of your room. The wireless Acoustimass module adds dramatic low notes to your entertainment—without adding a cable connection from the module to the speaker. From movie and game effects to sweeping crowd noise, you'll feel the unmistakable impact of everything you watch.
And you'll control it all with a simplified universal remote, eliminating the clutter of remotes you may currently have.
Sound designed for your room
The soundbar speaker's performance is also customized to the acoustics of your room with the Bose ADAPTiQ™ audio calibration system. Once you've placed your speaker, just run the ADAPTiQ system and enjoy consistent performance throughout the room from then on.
The SmartSource™ input selection system automatically monitors the speaker's auxiliary inputs. As you switch sources, the system retrieves the best audio signal available. What you see and what you hear are in sync—and as good as can be.
Call or visit
ADAPTiQ audio calibration system analyzes the way your room's dimensions and other variables affect sound, then automatically adjusts the sound of your speaker system to the acoustics of your room.
Flexmount automatic placement compensation automatically detects the speaker's orientation—flat on a table, or mounted on a wall—and adjusts the sound to ensure wide, spacious sound.
PhaseGuide sound radiators work with TrueSpace technology to direct sound with precision, sending acoustic detail to the left, right and centre of your room.
SmartSource input selection system continuously monitors the system's auxiliary audio inputs and automatically switches to the best audio signal available that matches what's on the TV.
Wireless Acoustimass module produces deep low notes for added home theater realism. A wireless link allows for flexible placement and does away with any speaker cables from the module to the soundbar.
Programmable IR remote controls the CineMate 1 SR system and nearly any attached entertainment device to simplify the experience and reduce the clutter of multiple remotes.

Do I need a separate receiver with this system?
No, the system connects directly to your HDTV.

IRVING, Texas – The Cowboys could get their top returner and coverage player back for Monday night's matchup against the Bears.
"I've just got to keep it as warm as possible if I do play," Harris said. "I've just got to see how I feel. I can't say I'm going to be able to go or I'm not going to be able to go, because I've been running around and feeling good. We're just going to see how it feels come game day."
Harris, who's second in the league in both punt return average and kick return average, was sorely missed in last Thursday's game against the Raiders. Not only is Harris the team's top returner, but he's also their best special teams player on the coverage units and still leads the team in special teams tackles despite being out last week.
Wide receiver
"I gave him some words," Harris said. "It was a rough thing to happen to him, first kickoff return you fumble and they score on it. It's going to make you down, but I just tell him there's a lot of football to play. You've got to keep your head up and keep going."
He said he's going to go through this week of practice to see how it feels before making a conclusion on his playing status. Harris and cornerback
Harris sustained a hamstring injury early in his NFL career, but he said this one is different because it's lower down on the back of his leg closer to his knee. Typically, the higher hamstring pulls are the ones that take longer to heal.
"It's not a bad pull, but it's one of them things you've got to take care of or it'll get worse," Harris said.
The hamstring isn't yet 100 percent and still feels sore, but if Harris feels ready to go later in the week, he said he'll be on the field.
"I've been running full speed," Harris said. "I went out last week and ran, came out today and ran. I ran some routes today, did routes Monday. So I've been feeling good."
The one bright spot for Harris is the rest allows him to rest the bevy of injuries he fought through previously during the season. He said he'd been playing with a shoulder injury, a hip injury and a tear in his lower abdomen.
"It definitely gives me a chance to get a little bit more healthy," he said. "It just gives me a chance to rest up, get my whole body back together, so that way I can be back to my old self and be back quicker, faster and more explosive."

Price War Could Kill Industry (And Indeed So Could Industry)
The Price War has begun (again) and ebook prices for some titles are approaching nothing.
The Society of Authors says this will lead to [cannibalism and live eels running for parliament] the massive devaluation of the book. Publishers seem to be okay with the situation because they still receive a decent amount of money per unit sold: Amazon et al are eating the cost in order to steal a march on one another. Or more accurately, Amazon is eating the cost in order to maintain an epic dominance and others are eating the cost in a frantic and possibly hopeless attempt to claw themselves up an overhanging commercial cliff and onto the lush, lethal territories of the Kingdom of Bezos.
So much is normal. It's the state of play in the book world right now, just like James Daunt's embrace of Amazon for Waterstones and his subsequent wistful observation that 'in an ideal world, Amazon would have gone bust'. (Why. The. Face?!) If I was at Amazon, that would make me laugh: The conventional trade is so screwed that the guy who wants us gone is our willing flesh and blood representative? Awesome.
And the SoA may be right. It may be that people will start to see ebooks, or all books, as items which have no monetary value in the face of this massive discounting. Who can tell? Almost everything in the marketplace now, from loans to phones, is so horribly tangled and cross-subsidised that maybe no one has any idea what anything's worth any more, or even bothers to try to understand what is valuable. Have you ever sat down and worked out whether your phone tariff is more expensive than just buying the handset unsubsidised and paying a basic rate? Would you even know how?
But the SoA's complaint is not where I get unhappy. I get unhappy because once again the digital retailers are making the running, defining the playing field, and taking the hit so that they can do so. They are content to accept a loss in one area to gain control, and the publishing industry seems unwilling or unable to challenge this control, and that is not healthy for the industry.
I had an online conversation this week about bundling - selling ebooks and paper books together at a range of prices. Before you yawn (I am aware that I bang on about this) be assured that I'm not going to rehash the obvious virtues. What I'm saying today is a little different: the reasons why bundling is hard to achieve and why it is not happening cut right to the heart of the industry's loss of control over its own product. You can't bundle if you don't control prices. You can't bundle if you don't have customer data. You can't bundle if someone else controls your access to your customers and how you sell. Magazines like, say, New Scientist, can bundle different formats at different prices (incidentally playing with the purchasers' minds using low level behavioural economics to skew towards the more profitable options) because they hold the necessary cards. These are the advantages our industry has been giving away for the last few years. If publishers were prepared to sell direct to consumer, for example, they would gather data on who bought what books. They would know more about what sold, when, to whom, and even maybe a bit about why. They would be in a position to offer bargains, loyalty deals, tailored ads, and all the things which are the lifeblood of modern commerce. But they cannot do these things because they have yielded control of things they need in order to do them.
As it is, the industry has not shifted to meet a rapacious new way of trading which works really, really well, and that abdication of control is, to my eye, far more dangerous than the putative psychological devaluation of the book. In so far as I care.
How can I not care? Because I'm an author. My allegiance as an author (not as person who has friends in the industry or who has an emotional attachment to a given brand) is to my work, and my work will - I am increasingly sure - not suffer from the digital revolution, even if the big houses should fall. Which gatekeeper I sell through is less important. For example: the part of everyone which is fond of Penguin because Penguin did those amazing classic jackets would be sad if there was no Penguin any more, but it wouldn't necessarily change what Penguin's authors do so very much. The basic assumption that the interests of authors must align with those of traditional publishers is no longer strong. I'm very much a traditionally-published author and I feel a basic loyalty to my house, but I find it harder and harder to compose these mini-jeremiads which subtextually or overtly favour the traditional houses over Amazon's mighty empire, because after a certain amount of time yelling at swimmers that there's a shark in the water, even the most dedicated lifeguard gets hoarse and figures: okay, people, you want to be an appetiser, you swim right ahead.
I think - though I'm not sure - that the traditional industry is suffering somewhat from a perspective issue; because individual houses have made enormous internal infrastructural changes to meet the digital age, they feel strongly that they are doing a lot. The trouble is that none of these changes are really visible externally. Ebook pricing remains absurd, and the text is still often poorly laid out or botched. Ebook deals with authors remain contentious and retain the appearance of being a fiddle. The industry's digital engagement with the audience remains in most cases negligible. Fundamentally, publishing remains cut off in its silo. It's not true that the digital shift always brings disintermediation. Amazon and the rest are the ultimate mediators, so good at it that they sit astride the connection between publisher and purchaser so that neither can see the other - and the industry allows this to continue and indeed to intensify. A few smaller outfits, notably Angry Robot, communicate very well and experiment with the digital side. Tor have gone DRM-free - but Hachette have responded by sending mildly sinister letters to authors who are published by both Tor and Hachette warning that Hachette consider DRM-free publication in other territories a potential problem and asking what action those authors propose to take (personally: I'd probably leave Hachette if I got a letter like that). A few Twitter accounts have sprung up which do chatter and share somewhat. But for the most part, the bus shelter/broadsheet ad still seems to be the paradigm, and DRM is still hallowed as a great saviour despite, er, probably not being one. Since the people I talk to broadly know all this, and say they want to change it, it's either the top levels of publishing which are in denial or the whole industry which is geared against mending its ways. Maybe both.
So while I do get the jitters about the 20p ebook some of the time, it's nothing compared to what I worry about all the rest of the time.
Conversely, some publishers
Conversely, some publishers are driving up the price of ebooks until no one wants to buy them. I recently noticed that one author's non-fiction ebook is actually MORE expensive than a new print copy of his book.
I can't help but think that he, as an author, is getting hosed. I don't know what his contract says, but I make a lot more money selling ebooks than paper books ($3 and change versus $1). E-books cost only a few pennies to deliver and Amazon gives authors 70% of the remaining profit. So, by forcing people to buy paper books over ebooks, publishing companies seem to be reducing the amount of money their authors make.
I heard someone say that J. K. Rowling's new book is going to sell for $17.99 in e-format. Why on earth should I pay that for a book without paper or hardback cover?
It's like the more self-published authors lower the average price of an e-book ($2.99 at the moment), the more publishers raise the price of their ebooks. Which may be why a number of U.S. states have lawsuits against some publishers for price-fixing.
The race to the bottom of ebook prices
Great analysis, Nick, you're completely right about the problem being publishers losing control of their own data. We've blogged about the same subject.
20p ebooks are essentially stunt marketing driven by retailers which might suit their purposes, but the jury's out as to whether they truly benefit publishing. Without the data that will tell publishers whether these tactics bring in revenue as well as profit, it risks getting publishers hooked on the crack cocaine of steep and unsustainable discounting.
A publishing market where sales are driven by loss leaders rather than special offers is a race to the bottom. It doesn't need to be that way, but to guard against it publishers must be able to tell the two apart. And that's why it's never been more important for them to get a grip on their data.
bundling ebooks with paperbacks
A couple of years ago I went into a B&N outside Boston and discovered Manning Press, which publishes extremely handsome, elegantly designed computer books. (By elegance of design I mean that they have come up with a splendid way of elucidating blocks of code, linking relevant lines of code to explanation in the text with numbered cueballs [I think this is their term].) The books have a tear-off sheet bound in which offers the ebook for free if you buy the paperback. Once you have registered to do this, of course, you get notifications of special sales for 20%, 30%, 40%, even 50% off selected titles - which presumably they can afford to offer w/o losing money if they sell direct to the customer.
Another great thing they do is give you the chance to buy books still under development - for a modest price you can download the most recent version, and also download updates as these occur. Readers are encouraged to submit corrections. I seem to remember that this entitles you to the final ebook, when released; if you like, you can also then get the pb at a discount. It's terrific.
There are practical reasons why one would be unlikely to sell off the pb once one had the ebook - given that these are about programming languages, you know you are likely to want several books open at the same time on your desk. As I say, though, they are spectacularly beautiful books; if works of fiction looked that good I'm guessing free books would not flood the market with secondhand copies.
Error: Hachette/Little Brown
I note that Cory's article in PW has been amended to recognise that the mildly sinister missive came from Little, Brown rather than the entire Hachette group, although it seems unlikely that such a move would take place without any consultation. Although, of course, if it did, that also explains a lot about the industry in which we all work.

Omar Kelly's post on NFL Football | Latest updates on Sulia
I'm STUNNED Michigan DT Jerel Worthy is still available in the second round. He was supposedly a lock for the first round because of his size and natural girth, which had many people thinking he was the second or third best defensive tackle in the 2012 class. You'd have to think defensive line starved teams are jockeying to get him early in the second round.

Since its debut, Here Comes Honey Boo Boo has earned just as many foes as it has fans. The latest to slam the pint-sized pageant queen? Adam Levine.
The Maroon 5 frontman is appalled by the TLC mega hit. He's certainly not alone. Joy Behar skewered the 7-year-old on The View and Kris Jenner had a few snarky words about her reality TV competition. But Levine's recent comments are particularly vicious and brutal.
During an interview in the new GQ, he lashed out at the young star:
Seriously, Honey Boo Boo is the decay of Western civilization. Just because so many people watch the show doesn't mean it's good. So many people witness atrocities and can't take their eyes away from them, but that doesn't mean they're good. That show is literally the. Worst. Thing. That's. Ever. Happened.
Wow. He makes the show sound like it's on the same level as atrocities like war or human trafficking. He didn't stop there.
It's complete f**king ignorance and the most despicable way to treat your kids ... F**k those people. You can put that in the magazine: F**k those idiots. They're just the worst. Sorry, I'm so sensitive to that -- like, I don't know, man, it's upsetting. Just to clarify, I said, "F**k those people!"
Jeez Adam! Why don't you pick on someone your own size. Is it really necessary to slam little Boo Boo so maliciously? Yes, they are hill billy-ish and uncouth, but you can't deny they are a tight knit clan. Over two million viewers rabidly tune in, so they are resonating with a lot of people. And that's because this family is down-to-earth and honest about who they are. What's wrong with that?
So I have to wonder: is this harsh critique fair? Now I love Maroon 5's music, but the world isn't really a better place because of "Moves Like Jagger." Watching that backwoods brood makes people laugh and we could all use a little levity these days. So come on, dude! Leave Honey Boo Boo alone!
Do you agree with Adam's comments?

Well someone needed to say it. I'm sorry but lets not pat these people on the asses and make them think we're watching them for ANY OTHER REASON than make fun of them! Least he had the balls to just come right out and say it!
Just so you know, he is right. It's absolutely appauling that they live that way, and act that way. Its horrible and a disgrace to that family! They shouldn't be on tv!
I agree with him completey. That show is the personification of everything that is wrong with this country.
I have to agree with everyone above me.
I understand why he feels that way. He isn't putting down the children. He is speaking about the parents. Some people feel that feeding your children nothing but crap is a form of abuse. I wouldn't go that far but the mother and father of this bunch are definitely doing their children a great disservice by feeding them what they do and not teaching them basic manners that most of us are taught as toddlers. Forming healthy eating habits is much harder as an adult and having manners gets you much further in life. I do think this family loves each other very much but I would really love to see them start taking better care of their bodies so they can love each other for a long time.
I'm echoing everyone above. He didn't insult the child. He said he doesn't agree with the way she's being raised. I don't either. I refuse to let that show get any air time in my home. It's vile.
Agree with everyone else... He's not slamming Alana(Please let's stop calling her that ridiculous nickname? :/) he's slamming her parents for, well, NOT BEING PARENTS.
