A Guatemalan court has convicted a former dictator of genocide involving Mayans. More details:
A Guatemalan court has convicted former dictator Efrain Rios Montt on charges of genocide and crimes against humanity, sentencing him to 80 years in prison.
The 86-year-old former general is the first former Latin American leader ever found guilty of such a charge.
A three-judge tribunal issued the verdict after the nearly two-month trial in which dozens of victims testified about horrific atrocities.
Rios Montt denies having knowledge of the massacres that happened involving indigenous people while he was in power.

This week I want to show you some of the interesting cacti I came across while in Big Bend National Park in Texas.
This first one is an Octillo (although technically it isn't a cactus but we're not being that picky, right?). It looks like a cactus and it has those similar sharp spines – you don't want to get too close! The stems are 10-15 feet tall and the spines are about 1.5 inches long. The flowers can be used to make a herbal tea and the stems are used as a fencing material and can even be a living fence.
This image with the canyon in the background screams southwest to me. I made a lightened vignette on it to lessen the messy plants in the foreground and draw your eye into the centre of the image.
I made the image below at sunset. Exposing for the sky, the ocotillo became a silhouette but the prickly pear in the foreground still has some colour. This one didn't require any special processing, just the usual colour balance and contrast.
I really want to thank all of y'all for making my eBook launch such a success. I was overwhelmed with the response! There were over 500 downloads of my new eBook the first day. After 4 days there were over 800 downloads as well as an additional 400 downloads of my first eBook. I received lots of comments and thank-you's on twitter, facebook and G+ and a ton of people emailed me directly. You guys kept me smiling all weekend. I'm really glad so many people are enjoying it.
If you don't have a copy yet, just sign-up below and a copy will be yours. You will also receive my monthly newsletter which contains stories from my travels and more free stuff. You can unsubscribe anytime.
Lovely shots Anne!
Really love the colors in the sunset silhouette shot. You did a great job making an otherwise boring and cloudless sky interesting by filling the frame with the Ocotillo. Also love how you were able to keep some color in the foreground, really adds to the overall shot!
Nice work:)

Such a nice place to visit.. Thanks for sharing this with us.. I really love the photos!
Very nice Anne. You can always count on the Ocotillo for spring color even when other annuals aren't blooming (as in this dry year!)

Maserati rolls out its entry-level Ghibli
The Italian maker of luxury cars aims to lure a new group of consumers from popular midsize sedans by Mercedes, Audi and BMW.
Ever dream of owning a prestigious sports car but wake up once you saw the price? Well, take heart. A Maserati may soon be within more folks' reach.
While the prices for most Maseratis start in the low six figures, the company has decided to veer slightly from its usual hyper-rich clientele and start a flirtation with the simply well-off. Beginning in September, it will introduce a midsize four-door sedan with a starting price of just under $66,000.
The Ghibli -- the name refers to a hot wind from the Sahara and was used for another Maserati line in the 1960s -- is the carmaker's attempt to cross over to its new target audience. It's also part of the company's goal to increase its sales eightfold, to 50,000 vehicles, by 2015, according to Bloomberg Businessweek.
A subsidiary of Fiat (FIATY), Maserati has made it very clear the Ghibli is meant to poach consumers from the luxury vehicles made by Daimler's (DDAIF) Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen's (VLKAY) Audi and BMW.
"We have to steal buyers from the Germans," Benedetto Orvietani, a product development manager at Maserati, told Businessweek. "We are going after their most demanding customers, the ones that are bored with their Audi A6 and want to stand out."
Car and Driver also sees the Ghibli as competition for the Cadillac CTS made by General Motors (GM) and Tata Motors' (TTM) Jaguar XF, while suggesting the vehicle could make the Maserati brand seem a little less exotic to consumers on this side of the Atlantic. "Maserati wants to get on the shopping lists of many more people," the magazine added, "and the Ghibli will make the brand far more accessible than it is today."
Industry analysts say the new car is one of the most important vehicles ever made in Maserati's nearly100-year history. Throwing down the gauntlet with the German carmakers will be a big challenge, according to Gianluca Spina, the dean of the business school at Milan Polytechnic.
Maserati, he told Businessweek, "may be positioned too high to be stretched into midsize luxury sedans. For sure, it's the most lucrative segment of the market, and the strength of German carmakers comes from having created it."
"If the Ghibli succeeds," Michael Harley wrote at Autoblog, "Maserati will welcome tens of thousands of new customers and, most importantly, celebrate a rekindled relationship with demanding North American buyers. If the Ghibli fails -- well, the truth is, nobody has written an option for failure."
Being Honest...Jaguar does not have a "c" in it; I won't be hassling you about other spell mistakes.
But will about the Jag..
Some of the Hi-line cars are not always about being pretentious or trying to impress the neighbors.
Don't care about the neighbors...They have what they want...We have ours.
Some people are car collectors, or try to invest in something that may pay for itself down the road or at least break even, and have the pleasure of driving it....
Some collect Barbie Dolls, Beanie Babies, kids and welfare checks.
We or I like cars, old bottles, books and rocks.
That's what you work for all your life.
I remember when Porsche introduced a wannabe model also. Those driving them always evoked a smile -- nothing's so hick as someone playing a money game and spending good money to show they don't have enough to do it right.
I also remember a dude who got a really nice deal on a beautiful Aston Martin DB6. I asked him why he was trying to sell it less than a year after he bought it (used). He told me that the oil change required special tools, and that the only dealership in the Seattle area that would do the work wanted $635.
That was 1977.
They did say that they are aiming towards people who drives BMW, Audis, high end Cadillacs and Mercedez Benz. If those car markers' clientele can afford them then I betcha they will buy one (just to try it out). This car is not for the average person who drives a car for affordability and not for the status quo. To be truthful, Mercedez Benz vehicles are really good racing cars. So they have a dual purpose.
The New Chariots,
When it comes to higher end and exotic autos, the reliability factor is definitely expected and a part of the equation, but most of these cars are purchased because they stir some inner passion. Whether it be a beautiful design, power, performance, exclusivity or just bragging rights, the cars are an extension of the driver's lust for something different. It was the same ethos 2,000 years ago when wealthy Romans vied for prestige and status on the Appian Way with their custom-built chariots and Arabian horses.
The generally higher expense of maintaining and insuring some of these premium sleds pretty much comes with the territory. Then again, if someone can afford an auto that costs north of 65k and on into six figures, they can certainly afford the extra TLC that it may require. Enjoy the rides.
Peace to all ~

Core writing competency developed through peer workshops, reading and discussing other authors' works, literature courses, electives, a teaching practicum, and publishing internships.
Students learn to read like writers, and faculty members lead them in exploring a range of aesthetic approaches. In workshops, faculty facilitate discussions that help student writers examine and address strengths and weaknesses in their writing. In the thesis quarters, students work one-on-one with faculty to explore deeper possibilities of their work, improve structure and style, and shape the thesis manuscript.
The program includes numerous opportunities for study beyond the classroom. Students may gain experience in publishing by serving as staff of TriQuarterly, the program's own international literary journal, or by interning with outside organizations. Through a teaching seminar and related internships, students may also prepare for teaching careers. Students connect with other writers at readings and related events in an artistic community of faculty and peers that extends beyond the University.

I ordered these panties after finding out that thongs were a terrible idea for camping and hiking. Wedgies are not an issue with these. The bikinis are easy to hand wash, and they dry practically overnight. The material is thin, so it breathes, and I can hardly tell I'm wearing them. The rise is low enough to stay below the waist of my shorts even while hiking. The texture is really pretty, too. They do not have a cotton gusset, but there's plenty of room for a pantyliner to keep discharge and periods from being a problem. Definitely my outdoor panties from now on.
Soft, stretchy and doesn't ride up. Feels like nothing, but covers in all the right places. Bought medium, 38"-39" hips, 147lbs. Fit is perfect. Looking to add more colors when I have more cash. Loved for snowboarding, will be perfect for backpacking too.
Yes I am! I absolutely fell in love with these bikini bottoms the first time I wore them. I did a 20 mile hike in them and didn't even notice that they were there. They didn't ride up like most underwear and were very comfortable. They do fit true to size also. My only draw back to them is that they took longer to dry than what I had planned for.

[eMS v.81.2] AtiBot v2.5Europe Maple Story Hacks [ June 19, 2012 at 10:56 PM ] 1,036 Views
- AtiBot doesn't work without Moby.
- Don't inject AtiBot to MapleStory before MS window appears.
- Full Map Attack works with Barrel Roll, and according to akkie also with Band of Thieves, Chain Lightning, Blaze, and Poison Bomb.
- Some vacs and mob control hacks might DC if you don't CC frequently enough.
- Auto Move To Items might make you disconnect atm when used with ND Final Attack. I'll fix it later.
- Spawn Vac is just a beta version so it's not perfect. Please read this before using it:
- I did some experimenting and to me it seems that Spawn Vac may auto-ban only if the vacced monsters get to move somehow. This happens when you disable Spawn Vac, so for now, if you're going to use it, you should first log out or go to cash shop and then disable it.

Mill Creek Village planned new community
lies at the western edge of Chicago and is limited by
regional environmental and growth policies. The
community's master plan aims to avoid the trend
toward suburban sprawl, and the developer made a
conscious effort to preserve important natural land-scape
features, avoid further consumption of agricul-tural
lands, reduce traffic congestion, provide afford-able
housing, reduce public infrastructure costs, and
improve the overall quality of life for residents. The
plan integrates housing, shopping, churches, parks
and recreation facilities at a much smaller scale than
conventional development. Its design creates a
"walkable" community surrounded by nature and
open space with a conveniently-located mass transit
system for Chicago commuters. ◆
Mill Creek Village
Geneva, Illinois
Village Plan Residential Street
Neighborhood Park
Main Street Imagery
Mill Creek
Geneva, Illinois
Mill Creek is a 1375-acre planned community in
Geneva, about 30 miles west of Chicago. This community
brings together elements of sustainable development and
charming neighborhood character in many ways:
Open Space - Schools, parks, golf, regional recreation and
a large natural area total 630 acres of the site.
Water Use - Water is drawn from on-site wells and treat-ment
facilities. Sewage is treated and retained for irrigation
and aquifer recharge. No effluent is discharged into
Storm Water Runoff - Storm water is managed on site
through detention basins as part of the open space system.
Runoff rates are 1/4 the county standards.
Community Services - Shops, offices, churches and other
community facilities are located internally to reduce traffic
(by 40 percent), to avoid commercial strips and allow safe,
attractive pedestrian access.
Traditional Village Center - The village center contains
all community services and high-density housing with
walkable streets, alleys and parks. Non-residential
buildings directly front the streets. The result is an active,
vibrant core instead of conventional well-landscaped
parking lots.
Parks and Trail System - The parks and trail system
connects regional, community and neighborhood parks. It
also adds structure to the community and preserves
wildlife habitat.

I learned a few things; it was my mind that was MIA not my lunch, my little lunch was not as safe in my bag because apparently it's not that insulated, my co-worker trusts me with her fast fancy car, I work with some very compassionate people that offered me everything from cardboard punch out food to frozen Lean Cuisine, and last not but least, I can stand to miss a few meals.
…the barbeque, that is! You may have your own tried and true [maybe even secret] recipe for barbeque. But, maybe you're striving for p-e-r-f-e-c-t-i-o-n and in constant search of that one ingredient, technique, or flavoring that will get you noticed by the Kansas City Barbeque Society. If so, here's a sampling of recent titles added to the MCPL catalog you might wish to place a hold on:
So you may have already read them. You may have already read them forty-times-each-and-love-every-second-of-every-one-because-its-the-best-series-ever. Or you may not have picked one up yet for one reason or another… but just in case, today we're listing out the series (drum roll, please….).
Harry Potter
All of the titles below are historical fiction and yes with some elements of romance. I enjoy anything written by the last three authors and Ellen Jones.
I posed this question to the staff at the Grandview Branch recently. "What book do you go back and read again and again and why do you like it? " Our staff is split about 50/50 between those of us who re-read books and those of us who do not. I was actually a little surprised how many of us do read books more than once. Not surprisingly, our answers were as varied as our staff.

This week on Sea Change Radio, our California Election Special. All eyes are trained on the most populous state in the union as it votes on two separate measures with far-reaching environmental implications.
First we'll explore Prop 19, the ballot measure that would provide for the control and regulation of marijuana – people have heard many of the arguments for legalization, but Sea Change Radio takes a sustainability perspective on the issue and talks with the bill's sponsor Tom Ammiano and NORML Executive Director, Allen St. Pierre.
Next, Sea Change Radio host Alex Wise speaks with Van Jones, who has been active in the No on 23 campaign. Learn about Prop 23 and why so many in California are trying to stop Texas oil from determining the state's climate future.

Augusta Attorney Vic Hawk is trying to send a message to teens... that sending a text message while driving could end your life. It's all apart of his law group's "Send Could Be The End" campaign.
"They all think that they can see the road while they are texting, but in reality, their brain cuts off views or items or trucks or lines, while they are texting. Because you are focusing on one thing, but their actually seeing something else," Hawk says.
It's something that he experienced himself while he was driving in Edgefield County.
"Where a young girl, 11 o'clock in the morning, comes over into my lane, I have to go into a ditch to avoid a head on collision. And she looks up, it scares her to death, but she didn't stop," he says.
To prevent something like that from happening again, Hawk asked students to pledge that they won't text and drive. Dominique Manor and her son made the pledge, in fact, it's something that has always been on her mind.
"I think about it, that's why I don't text him if he is running behind on schedule. I don't text him to ask him where he is at. I just let him get there on his own time and pace now," she say.s
The National Security Council estimates that 28% of crashes can be attributed to cell phone talking and texting while driving. That's 1.6 million crashes a year.
Hawk gave students the statistics, as well as a demonstration that shows how a person's awareness decreases when they aren't focusing on the road. He also gave students some tips on how to break the habit.
"There are some apps that they can put on their phone that will cut off their texting once they reach a certain speed, like 5 miles an hour. They can bring a designated texter, which is another alternative to doing it," Hawk says.

A woman who was waiting for a ride in Manhattan ended up experiencing a terrifying ordeal that started when she got into the wrong car.
It happened in the early morning hours on Sept. 29, 2012. The New York State Police say the unidentified woman was waiting to be picked up by someone being sent by a friend.
When a car drover up to her at the intersection of Dyckman Ave. and Broadway in the Inwood section of Manhattan she incorrectly assumed it was her ride and jumped in the car.
She soon discovered that she had gotten into the wrong vehicle. Police say the driver refused to allow her to get out and drove to New Rochelle on the New England Thruway (I-95) in Westchester County.
The driver then took the victim's phone and wallet.
The victim decided the only was to get away was to jump from the moving vehicle.
She did just that near Exit 16. Police say the woman received a lot of bruising across her body but was not seriously injured.
The suspect left the scene without stopping.
Police are attempting to locate anyone who might have witnessed the incident, which occurred at about 3:00 a.m. or saw the vehicle on I-95.
The suspect was in a white BMW SUV, possibly an X5, with dark tinted windows. He is described as a dark skinned black man, in his thirties, with a goatee (around mouth). Police say he was well groomed and well dressed, possibly 5'4 to 5"8 tall.
If you have information, you can call the state police at 800-635-8856 or 914 769-2600. Police say all information will be kept confidential.

Woodworker's Journal
That wasn't necessarily the plan. Starting out in 1962 as a small tool and die shop in California, the company found a niche in industrial and electronic markets, where their precision sliding mechanisms were eagerly embraced. Success followed and, by the 70s, Accuride had gone global and opened a factory in West Germany.
About that same time, according to Deborah Kniegge, Accuride's Director of Marketing Communications, the company first introduced a family of slides that pioneered big changes in how furniture was manufactured.
"Many manufacturers were still using wooden runners and roller bearing slides," Deborah recalled. "We had to convince them to switch over to more expensive, but more precise ball bearing slides for the woodworking industry."
But Accuride found that maintaining precision can be challenging. "Wood is never perfectly straight," Deborah explained. "There are all kinds of variances. When it gets hot or cold, dry or humid, wood swells and shrinks. We had to develop breathing tabs and movement rails to accommodate the tolerances."
By the end of the 70s, the company had introduced the first complete family of power slides for the wood office furniture industry. The product line included the 200 and 400 series slides for file drawers, box drawer slides, pencil drawer slides, and even the Flipper Door Slides® for overhead storage bins that are a mainstay of corporate offices. With the 80s, came an expansion into the United Kingdom, a wide increase in applications, and the start of the company's relationship with Rockler Woodworking and Hardware.
"Rockler, which was called the Woodworker's Store back then, was our entry into the home hobby market," Deborah recalled. "They are the one who created the interest and ultimately the demand for our products among hobbyist. Even today, our marketing to the home hobbyist continues to be done through distributors."
As the line between commercial shops and high-end amateurs has blurred, hobbyists have embraced and adapted the full range of Accuride slides. The company's relatively petite 2632 slide originally came out of their design work for the toolbox industry, but its small profile makes it ideal for home-scaled projects. Keyboard trays, self-closing mechanisms, and the whole range of load-bearing and different-sized slides have found their way into home-made pantries, entertainment centers, computer desks, and kitchen cabinets.
At the recent IWF in Atlanta, the company continued its long tradition of innovation and enjoyed a steady stream of shop owners and distributors, millwork operators, and residential cabinetmakers of all kinds and sizes. Among the products previewed, two will be of special interest to woodworkers:
Platform Brackets for the 9301 Slide
According to Deborah, people were always jerry-rigging some sort of mounting on this huge, beefy slide (up to 60" long). The brackets make the slide more user friendly and applicable to big kitchen pantries. Now they're even capable of handling large television sets -- with the brackets, the slides are load-graded to 350 pounds!
StowAway Slide
Starting with a heavy-duty slide, the company added a self-closing mechanism to create the perfect slide for kitchen recycling bins, waste containers, laundry baskets, or pet food bins.
Most of the company's other product lines are strictly commercial and even woodworking product development is still guided by commercial applications. Accuride values their home hobbyist customers and works hard to support them: "We encourage all of our customers to contact us with ideas and problems," Deborah explained. "We get a ton of home hobbyists calling or emailing our tech support, and we're happy to answer their questions. We want them to use our website, and we give them the same priority as our large customers."
Almost all the company's woodworking related products are available from Rockler Woodworking and Hardware's retail stores, mail-order catalog and website.

By the end of the day Friday, the annual derby to secure special visas for foreign workers may be over after just one week, as a growing economy is prompting more companies to rush to hire tech-savvy foreigners.
The application period for H-1B visas began April 1, and US immigration officials predicted there will be booming demand for the visas, currently capped at 65,000 a year. An additional 20,000 visas are made available to foreign workers with advanced degrees, raising the total of available H-1B visas to 85,000 per year.

TROLLHATTAN, Sweden, Sept. 12 (UPI) — A labor union leader in Sweden said a petition to have automaker Saab declared bankrupt does not mean the firm is out of the carmaking business.
"The bankruptcy doesn't in any way get in the way of a future economic solution, which may come," said Unionen Chairwoman Cecilia Fahlberg, Tidningarnas Telegrambyra news agency reported Monday.
"If money finds its way into our members' bank accounts, the petition will be withdrawn," Fahlberg said concerning wages that union members say are owned.
Struggling to find financing, Saab shuttered its plant in Trollhattan, Sweden, for most of the summer.
Two labor unions have petitioned to have a bankruptcy court review Saab's finances. A union that represents office workers, the Swedish Organization for Managers, also says it is considering filing a petition with the bankruptcy court.

By Lauren Tara LaCapra and Jed Horowitz
(Reuters) - Morgan Stanley's
Morgan Stanley Chief Executive James Gorman is looking to streamline decision making in its trading and investment banking unit by putting a single person in charge, a person familiar with the matter said. The bank has been rethinking parts of that business, such as commodities trading, as regulations globally cut into potential profits.
Investors have been waiting for either Taubman or Kelleher to step down since 2009, when Morgan Stanley named them as co-banking heads. Executives on Wall Street are rarely happy to share power. Taubman, 51, oversaw the bank's merger advisory and securities underwriting business, while Kelleher, 55, oversaw trading and securities sales.
Kelleher piloted the bank through turbulent markets as chief financial officer during the financial crisis. He is now leading Morgan Stanley's restructuring of its fixed-income trading business.
Taubman is a career-long banker focusing on merger advisory. Kelleher's broader range of experience made him a better pick to head the combined business, the person familiar with the matter said.
Taubman decided to retire after realizing that Morgan Stanley Chief Executive James Gorman, 54, planned to choose Kelleher, said the source, who was not authorized to speak about the matter publicly.
Gorman said in a statement that he hopes that Kelleher will help the bank continue to stitch together trading and banking businesses to boost revenue and profits.
Though the trading and banking business still accounts for about half of Morgan Stanley's revenue, an increasing share of the company's overall revenue is from retail brokerage, as Morgan Stanley buys out Citigroup's
Morgan Stanley's wealth management business has delivered $10.1 billion in revenue so far this year, compared with $23.1 billion from the institutional securities business that Kelleher and Taubman oversaw.
An accountant by training who joined Morgan Stanley in 1989, Kelleher had been co-head of fixed-income in Europe and head of Global Capital Markets, as well as CFO for two years during the financial crisis, before taking on his current role in December 2009.
As co-head of the investment banking unit, Kelleher focused the bank's trading efforts on simpler instruments like U.S. government bonds, while scaling back from exotic instruments that demand high capital support.
At a conference in September, Morgan Stanley said that by the end of 2014, it hopes to reduce its risk-adjusted assets to $255 billion, or at least 35 percent below third quarter 2011 levels.
Other banks are rethinking their fixed-income trading businesses too. UBS
Morgan Stanley has been cutting staff as well, and is considering the sale of at least part of its commodities trading unit because of changes to global banking and capital rules that are crimping profits.
As part of the reorganization announced on Monday, Kelleher elevated Mark Eichorn and Franck Petitgas to co-head the investment banking unit. Kenneth deRegt, head of fixed-income trading, and Ted Pick, head of equities, will continue to run those trading businesses day-to-day and report to Kelleher. All four will report into Kelleher, who is based in London.
Eichorn, 48, has headed mergers and acquisitions in the Americas since 2009, and will be based in New York. Petitgas, 51, is head of international capital markets and will continue to oversee the trading businesses from London.
In another change, institutional securities vice chairman Jeff Holzschuh, 52, who focuses on the power and utilities industries, has taken the new title of chairman of institutional securities and will serve an ambassadorial function concentrating on "key client relationships globally," the company said.
Eichorn and Holzschuh also are joining the company's management committee. Petitgas is already on the panel.

There's a viral outbreak erupting in Utah County. And thanks to clever filmmakers in Provo and Orem employing YouTube as a delivery system, the infection is spreading worldwide.
Making videos that turn viral isn't just fun, it's also a way to make money for the folks behind the YouTube channels Warialasky, Teddie Films and LAHWF.
"It's easy money," says Andrew Hales, the 22-year-old Utah Valley University student behind the YouTube channel LAHWF.
Parodies R Us • The guys behind the Provo-based Warialasky — brothers Casen Sperry, 25, and Landon Sperry, 28, and their childhood friend Mike Brown, 25 — had been making movies since they were kids growing up in Mesa, Ariz.
The three, all college students (the Sperrys attend Brigham Young University, while Brown attends UVU) and returned LDS missionaries, shot wedding videos for a while. The job allowed them to justify the expense of buying good video equipment, Casen Sperry said.
"Every time we would finish an event, we'd get together and talk about how we'd get onto YouTube," said Landon Sperry.
Warialasky's niche is comedy shorts that parody pop culture — particularly science-fiction movies and video games. Its most popular short, "Real Life GoldenEye 64," features actors re-creating the moves of a glitchy first-person-shooter video game.
Three more of the trio's videos have scored more than a million views each: "Lazy Jedi," in which a Jedi knight can barely summon the Force to make his breakfast; "Tetris: The Movie," a trailer for a nonexistent movie adaptation of the block-based video game; and "Skyrim: Modern Dovahkiin," a head-banging video-game spoof.
Teddie Films covers much of the same territory as Warialasky — which doesn't appear to be a problem with viewers, as there seems to be an inexhaustible interest in "Star Wars" parodies.
Teddie's filmmakers — Eddie King, 34, and Tyler Marshall, 31 — met while working for Rubberball Productions, a stock-photography company whose Orem studios King and Marshall use for their videos. (The name "Teddie" is a mash-up of their names, suggested by a "Brangelina"-fixated former co-worker.) They now work for Anderson Studios, Rubberball's sister company.
Their specialty has been adapting current pop songs into "Star Wars"-themed videos. Their biggest hit so far was a spoof posted in June of Gotye's "Somebody That I Used to Know" that lampooned George Lucas' revisions to the "Star Wars" movies. More recently, they posted "Droid-Friend," which features a gold-plated android C-3PO sporting a Justin Bieber haircut.
King and Marshall have shot several commercials, including a Doritos spot that won a contest that got it aired during Super Bowl XLV in 2011. "YouTube is definitely a lot more fun than standard commercial jobs," Marshall said.
Teddie Films' videos are quite elaborate, and usually only one a month is posted online. They often feature detailed props (for example, a full-sized "Star Wars" landspeeder in "Droid-Friend") and music scores by local composer Israel Curtis that mimic the popular songs being spoofed. For "The Star Wars That I Used to Know," the team even recruited a Utah celebrity — "Survivor" contestant Tyson Apostol — to lip-sync Curtis' singing voice as Anakin Skywalker.
Hales takes a different approach on LAHWF, producing quick-to-make video pranks that recall the TV classic "Candid Camera."
On LAHWF (which stands for "losing all hope was freedom," a line from the movie "Fight Club"), Hales has walked up to random strangers to hug them, smell them and — in his most popular video — hold their hands.
Hales started shooting at UVU, but now goes elsewhere in Utah "because people were starting to notice me at UVU." He also has filmed pranks while on trips to New York, Hawaii and Rome. "Awkward's kind of a universal language," Hales said.
Learning the system • For all three videomakers, there has been a sharp learning curve.
"It was little things, like where to tape the mic and how to explain it to people afterwards," said Hales, who started posting weekly videos in March.
Timeliness is a big factor in a video going viral, King and Marshall at Teddie Films learned. The Gotye spoof took off on The Huffington Post and other sites because the original song was a big hit all summer, and the Teddie video captured not only the song but the cool trompe l'oeil animation of the video.
King and Marshall learned the hard way that a spoof that's behind the curve will get ignored. In mid-September, they released a spoof of the Korean rapper Psy's hit "Gangnam Style" in a song whose lyrics made fun of NBC's coverage of the London Olympics.
"We were at the back end of his wave," King acknowledged, as well as spoofing an Olympics that many people had already forgotten.
"This video really taught us how important it is to stick to your audience. Our audience is really geek-themed," King said. "We know better now: Don't piss off your audience."
The Warialasky group tried a sports-themed video once, and it bombed. Since then, they stick mostly with geek-friendly ideas, which they write on sticky notes in their shared Provo apartment — above the computer on which they edit their films.
About a year ago, Casen Sperry took a class in viral-video filmmaking from Utah County's acknowledged expert in the field: Devin Graham, who makes the popular extreme-sports videos on the YouTube channel DevinSuperTramp.
According to his blog, Graham is also dating Utah County's hottest YouTube sensation, "hip-hop violinist" Lindsey Stirling, whose popular videos — which Graham shoots — landed the former "America's Got Talent" competitor a record deal and a U.S. concert tour.
"He knows the YouTube landscape so well," Landon Sperry said.
In Graham's class, everyone had to start a YouTube channel. Warialasky was the only one to take off, and Graham called the members up to meet them and offer them more advice.
"He took us under his wing personally," Landon Sperry said. "One of the things he told us: 'Your videos are way too long. … You need to cut it down a lot.' "
The Sperrys and Brown learned from Graham the four "C's" of YouTube success: consistency in the frequency of your videos; collaboration in working with good people; a call to action, to urge people to subscribe to your channel; and, most important, content.
"Content is king," Casen Sperry said.
YouTube as community • King and Marshall learned about the supportive nature of the YouTube community this summer when they attended VidCon, a national convention in Anaheim, Calif., for online-video makers and fans.
"At the beginning of the day, it was like being the new kid on the first day of school," King said. Then people saw the Gotye spoof, which they had just posted. "By the end of the day, people were really talking to us. … The next day, they knew who you were, and they wanted to talk about your video."
The viral-video world isn't a zero-sum game, Landon Sperry said, and one videomaker's success doesn't depend on another's failure. Because of that, the YouTube community is quite welcoming of new talent. "They'll tell you anything but what their next video is going to be," Landon Sperry said.
The filmmakers make money from ad revenue. YouTube gives them a bit of money whenever a viewer watches an ad attached to one of their videos. More recently, companies will pay filmmakers to use their products in videos.
None of the filmmakers would discuss how much money YouTube pays them. It's enough, though, to let the Warialasky guys out of the wedding-video business and to pay off the debt on Hales' investment in an Italian-ice cart business.
Teddie Films isn't yet at the stage where it's making money, King said, and for now "people are excited to work on something [for free] that might go viral."
So why did Utah County become an incubator for viral videos?
The Sperrys credit that to Orabrush, the tongue-scraping device — and the viral videos, starting in 2009, that the Provo-based company made to sell it.
As Orabrush's corporate history tells it, the product's inventor, Bob Wagstaff, went to a BYU market-research class for help selling the gizmo. The one student who took up the challenge devised an online video idea and got his roommate to shoot it. The roommate was Devin Graham.
"There is a lot of talent down here, and people are always looking for ways to express that talent," King said. "There is a collection of talented, creative kids in Provo."
Hales suggested another reason for the viral-video boom in Utah County: "Maybe it's just so boring here that we have to make YouTube videos."

Humbert of Silva Candida
Humbert of Moyenmoutier, O.S.B.,[1] (1000 to 1015 – 5 May 1061) was a French Benedictine abbot and later a cardinal. When he was 15 years old, he was given by his parents to the monastery of Moyenmoutier in Lorraine, as an oblate, intended for monastic life. He entered the Order when he came of age, and was later elected as abbot of the monastery. He was invited to Rome in 1049 by the reforming Pope Leo IX, who met him when he visited the monastery in 1049. The Pope named him Archbishop of Sicily in 1050. The Norman rulers of the island, however, prevented his landing there. In place of that post, he was named Cardinal-bishop of Silva Candida the following year. It has been suggested that he was the first Frenchman to be named cardinal.
Under Leo, he became the principal papal secretary and on a trip through Apulia in 1053, he received from John, Bishop of Trani, a letter written by Leo, Archbishop of Ochrid, criticising Western rites and practice. He translated the Greek letter into Latin and gave it to the pope, who ordered a response drawn up. This exchange led to Humbert being sent at the head of a legatine mission, along with Frederick of Lorraine (later Pope Stephen IX) and Peter, Archbishop of Amalfi, to Constantinople to confront Patriarch Michael Cerularius.
He was cordially welcomed by the Emperor Constantine IX, but spurned by the patriarch. Eventually, on 16 July 1054, despite the fact that Leo had died and the excommunication was invalid, during the celebration of the liturgy he laid a Papal Bull of excommunication of the Patriarch on the high altar of the Cathedral of Hagia Sophia. This event crystallized in an official way the gradual estrangement of Eastern and Western Christianity, and is traditionally used to date the beginning of the Great Schism.
In his later years, he was made librarian of the Roman Curia by Pope Stephen IX, his former legatine companion, and he penned the reform treatise Libri tres adversus Simoniacos ('Three Books Against the Simoniacs') (1057), which helped initiate the Gregorian Reform movement. He is also credited as the brains behind the electoral decree of 1059, which stated that popes would henceforth be elected by the College of Cardinals.
After a career marked by numerous theological disputes with figures such as Peter Damian, he gained a reputation of rigidity. He traveled frequently throughout Italy during the later years of his life, partly due to the election of the Antipope Benedict X in 1058. He attended the Lateran Council of 1059, however.
He died in Rome on 5 May 1061 and was buried in the Lateran Basilica.[2]

reblog if you love hockey.
Oh man
That moment when he was an altar server…
1. whatever you do, don't just show up at their house…they run around in their underwear just like we do.
2. don't cheat on them. it may seem foolproof, but girls tell each other everything about everything. trust me, they will find out and you will be mud.
3. beware of every single male relative and all guy friends. any of them would kick your ass at the drop of a hat, and a lot of them wouldn't even wait for the damn hat.
4. never miss an opportunity to tell them they're beautiful.
5. don't refuse to kiss in front of your friends. if they laugh at you, it's because they're jealous.
6. if they slap you hard, you deserved it.
7. don't be afraid to touch them if you want to. if they're going out with you in the first place, it's because they like being in your arms.
8. if you don't sleep with them, do not tell your friends that you did. 8.5 if you do sleep with them, don't tell your friends that you did.
9. you can be dirty minded in private, really…most of them are not offended by it…
10. not all of them eat like birds, a lot of them can eat like whales.
11. most of them don't mind paying half of everything, but they do discuss these things with their friends. realize that if you make your girlfriend pay half all the time, everyone will know about it and your friends will know you're a pussy..do you honestly need all your money that much? be a man, pay all the time!
12. every girl should eventually get three things from her boyfriend- a stuffed animal, one of his sweatshirts, and a really pretty ring. even if it's not a serious relationship.
13. make sure she gets home safely as often as you can. if you're dropping her off, walk her to the door. if you aren't dropping her off, call to be sure she's home safely.
14. if a guy is bothering her, it is your right to beat the shit out of him.
15. if you're talking to a female friend of yours, pull your girlfriend closer.
16. never, ever slap her, even if it's just in a joking way. even if she swats you first, and says, "oh, you're so dumb" or something, never make any gestures back.
17. go to a chick flick once in a while. she doesn't care whether you enjoy it or not, it just matters that you went.
18. you're dead meat if you can't get along with their pets, parents, and best friends. be prince charming to their friends, mr. polite to their parents, and make sure to be nice to their animals.
19. don't flirt with their moms…that's just freaky.
20. don't be freaked out by pms. it's not gross, and it really does make them feel like shit, so be understanding.
21. if you don't like the way they drive, you do it.
22. if you're officially dating, and you're introducing her to your friends, you'd better damn well introduce her as your girlfriend.
23. don't stress where you go for every date. they really only want to be with you.
24. if they complain that something hurts, rub it for them without being asked.
25. girls are fragile. even if you're play fighting/wrestling, be very gentle.
26. memorize their god damn birthdays. you forget her birthday and you're basically screwed for life.
27. don't marinade the cologne, but smell good.
28. don't give her something stupid for her birthday or christmas or valentine's day. it doesn't have to be expensive, but it has to be meaningful. jewelry is always nice.
29. if you think the relationship isn't going to last, don't wait to find out. it will only hurt you more if you draw it out.
30. after you've been dating for a while, realize that they really have started to trust you. when you have a girlfriend who truly trusts you, you have a lot more responsibility, privilege and control than you would think. be careful with it, most guys would kill for that kind of power, and it can be lost in a nanosecond.
Cool or something.
Even if we win.
I'm just like whatever it was the shootout.
I need to finish my makeup work because the quarter ends on Friday. I'm going on a choir trip to New York on Thursday, so I need to turn everything in tomorrow. Technically, I was supposed to turn most of it in today…
I'm still not even halfway done.

The Yankees went down fighting in game five and the Phillies lived to fight another day. Just barely, though. The Phils took an 8-2 lead into the top of the eighth, but things got real close real fast. The Yankees scored three in the top of the eighth and brought the tying run to the plate twice in the ninth inning. Ryan Madson came through both times, though, getting Derek Jeter to ground into a huge double-play the first time and striking out Mark Teixeira to end the game the second.
The Yankees jumped out to a 1-0 lead with a run off of Lee in the first on an RBI-double by A-Rod. The Phillies jumped ahead in the bottom of the first, though, as Rollins and Victorino both reached ahead of Utley and Utley blasted a three-run homer to put the Phils up 3-1. The Phils chased New York starter AJ Burnett in the bottom of the third. Utley and Howard started the inning with walks and the Phillies wound up scoring three times in the inning to extend their lead to 6-1. Lee walked pinch-hitter Eric Hinske with one out in the top of the fifth and Jeter followed with a single that moved him to third. Hinske would come in to score on a ground ball by Damon to cut the Phillies lead to 6-2. Utley and Ibanez both hit solo homers off of lefty Phil Coke in the seventh to extend the lead to 8-2. Lee came back to start the eighth and gave up single, double, two-run double to the first three men he faced. It made the score 8-4 with a man on second and Park took over. He set three in a row down, but the second was a sac fly that brought A-Rod in from third and made it 8-5. Lidge had thrown 30 pitches in a miserable outing in game four, so it was Madson on in the ninth to try to protect the three-run lead. A double and a single put men on first and third and brought Jeter to the plate as the tying run. Madson got Jeter to hit into a double-play as Posada scored to make it 8-6. Damon followed with a single that brought Teixeira to the plate as the tying run. Madson got him, though, striking him out swinging at a 1-2 pitch to end the game.
It sure seems like the bullpen blew up in the game for the Phillies. But it wasn't that bad, really. A lot of it was Lee and he has clearly done enough already. I think we just have game four stuck in our minds. Pitching for the second time in two days, Park faced three men and got three outs. Throwing a day after he threw 20 pitches, Madson gave up a run on three hits but got the huge double-play and the huge strikeout when he needed it.
They are still pretty scary. Especially given that we're sure to see them a lot in game six. I think Manuel will still use Lidge in big situations in the series.
But the Phillies are still alive. They are going to need a ton of runs to keep winning, though. They are going to need everyone in the lineup — not just signs of life but a river of life. There were some signs last night. Ibanez and Howard came into last night's game without a walk or a homer. Howard walked twice and Ibanez blasted a long homer. As miserable as the series has been for Howard, he still may be the single most explosive player in the series for either team. Let's hope he doesn't wait too much longer, though, cause the Phils have put themselves in a pretty big hole.
I'm pretty sure that Hamels starts game seven if there is one. Enough has been made of his misspeak. If you don't think Hamels wants to compete and wants to win, I disagree. You don't get this good and this far without wanting both. Saying what you mean isn't a requirement.
The Phillies trail the Yankees three games to two in the World Series after winning game five last night 8-6.
Cliff Lee got the start for the Phillies and went seven innings, allowing five runs on seven hits and three walks. Three of the hits went for extra-bases, all doubles. He struck out three. He pitched a lot better than his line, taking an 8-2 lead into an eighth inning that he started having thrown 103 pitches.
That may be the end of the '09 post-season for Lee. It's a shame that the eighth inning last night blew up his line, cause it's going to mean that his numbers, while still amazing, won't quite reflect just how much he contributed. We'll just have to remember. In five post-season starts this year Lee has gone 4-0 with a 1.56 ERA and an 0.82 ratio. In five starts he threw 40 1/3 innings. That's more than eight runs per game. There's a chance his efforts may still make him a champion. Whether they do or not, he may have to wait till he's a free agent in 2011, but I think they made him a whole lot of money.
He faced a Yankees lineup that went (1) Jeter (SS/R) (2) Damon (LF/R) (3) Teixeira (1B/S) (4) Rodriguez (3B/R) (5) Swisher (RF/S) (6) Cano (2B/L) (7) Gardner (CF/L) (8) Molina (C/R). Molina in the lineup to catch Burnett with Posada on the bench. Gardner takes over in center for Cabrera, who has a hamstring injury and has been replaced by Ramiro Pena. To take Posada out of the lineup for Molina is a poor idea even if Burnett doesn't allow six runs in two innings.
The Yankees had five players on their bench to start the game, righty Jerry Hairston, switch-hitters Posada and Pena and lefties Hideki Matsui and Eric Hinske.
Jeter led off the game and grounded to Utley on a 1-0 pitch for the first out. Damon dumped a 1-1 pitch in front of Victorino for a single. Teixeira got ahead 3-0, but flew to right for the second out. Rodriguez hit a 1-1 pitch into the right field corner for a double that scored Damon and put New York up 1-0. Swisher walked on four pitches to put men on first and second. Cano flew to left on a 1-0 pitch to end the frame.
Didn't look like the same Lee in the first. Jeter's ball was up the middle and took a nice play by Utley to get an out. A-Rod smoked the ball. Swisher and Teixeira both got ahead 3-0. Lee threw 20 pitches in the inning.
He started the second up 3-1 and didn't have much trouble with the bottom of the order. Gardner grounded to first 1-2 for the first out. Molina grounded to third on a 2-2 pitch. Burnett struck out looking 2-2 to set the Yankees down.
Lee threw 14 pitches in the inning and had thrown 34 for the game.
Jeter grounded to third 2-2 for the first out of the third. Damon walked on five pitches. Teixeira hit a ground ball to third and Feliz threw to second to force Damon for the second out, but the Phils could only get one. A-Rod flew to center on an 0-1 pitch for the third out.
Fifty pitches in the game for Lee after throwing 16 in the inning.
Swisher lined a 2-1 pitch to third for the first out of the fourth. Cano grounded to second and Gardner grounded to short.
Lee was up to 62 after throwing 12 pitches in the inning.
With Burnett out of the game, Posada hit for Molina to start the fifth and grounded to second 1-2 for the first out. Lefty Eric Hinske hit for the pitcher David Robertson next and Hinske drew a walk on five pitches. Jeter followed with a single to right that moved Hinske to third. Damon was next and he hit a 1-1 pitch slowly to first. Howard took it and when he started towards the bag Hinske took off for homer and scored to make it 6-2 with two outs and Jeter on second. Teixeira flew to right for the third out.
14 and 76 for Lee. Nice base-running by Hinske, both to go first to third and to delay and then score on the ground out to first.
A-Rod flew to right to start the first out in the sixth. Swisher flew to center for the second. Cano singled to center 1-0, but was left stranded when Gardner struck out looking 1-2.
Lee was at 91 after 15 pitches in the inning.
Posada struck out looking 0-2 after trying to call time out but not getting it earlier in the count to start the seventh. Jerry Hairston hit for the pitcher Alfredo Aceves and he flew to center on a 3-1 pitch for the second out. Jeter lined softly to Utley 1-2 to end the frame.
Twelve pitches in the inning had Lee at 103.
He was up 8-2 when he started the eighth. Francisco was playing center with Victorino on the bench. Damon led off and reached on an infield single. Teixeira was next and he blasted a double to left that moved Damon to third. A-Rod was next and he hit Lee's first pitch hard into left-center. Ibanez made a diving effort but had the ball go off of his glove for a two-run double that made it 8-4. Park came in to pitch to Swisher having thrown 14 pitches the day before. Swisher grounded to second 2-2 for the first out, moving Rodriguez to third. Park stayed in to pitch to Cano. Cano hit a fly ball to shallow center 0-1 that Francisco took for the second out. Rodriguez tagged and scored to make it 8-5 with two outs. Francisco made a weak throw that wasn't close to getting A-Rod on a ball that wasn't hit deep. Gardner popped to Rollins on a 2-1 pitch to set the Yankees down.
Miserable inning for Manuel. Victorino was pleading to stay in the game. Francisco probably would have made the catch on A-Rod's ball off the glove of Ibanez in left if he had taken over in left with Victorino in center. Francisco's throw home was terrible. Victorino with a healthy hand would have made a much stronger throw — who knows after being hit. He also left Park in to face Cano as the batter that could have made the score 8-6. The Phillies didn't use any of their three lefties in the pen in the game.
Madson started the ninth having thrown 20 pitches the day before. Posada led off and hit a 3-1 pitch off the top of the wall in right for a double. Lefty Hideki Matsui hit for the pitcher Phil Hughes. Matsui singled to left on a 2-1 pitch, sending Posada to third. Jeter got ahead in the count 2-0, but grounded a 2-1 pitch to short and the Phillies turned a double-play. Posada scored to make it 8-6 and it brought up Damon with two outs and the bases empty. Madson got ahead of Damon 0-2, but Damon singled into center on a 2-2 pitch to bring the tying run to the plate again. The game was delayed briefly for a ceremony to honor Damon's 2,000th hit in this World Series. He was presented with some tupperware and a $50 gift certificate to Home Depot. Damon took second as the count went 0-2 on Teixeira. Teixeira struck out swinging 1-2 to end the game.
Park threw 11 pitches in the game and Madson threw 24. Both have thrown two days in a row, but both seem like they will surely be available in game six after an off-day today. Lee threw 112 pitches in game five and there's no way you will see him in game six.
The so-called "official" stats suggest that Damon is only 8-for-21 in the series. He's 5-for-his-last-9. Matsui is 5-for-9 in the series. Jeter 8-for-22. Posada 5-for-16. A-Rod just 4-for-18 but with six RBI to lead the team. Teixeira is just 2-for-19. Cano, Swisher and Cabrera are a combined 7-for-43.
The Phillies lineup against righty AJ Burnett went (1) Rollins (SS/S) (2) Victorino (CF/S) (3) Utley (2B/L) (4) Howard (1B/L) (5) Werth (RF/R) (6) Ibanez (DH/L) (7) Feliz (3B/R) (8) Ruiz (C/R).
The Phillies started the game with five players on the bench, lefties Dobbs, Stairs and Bako and righties Eric Bruntlett and Ben Francisco.
The Phils were down 1-0 when Rollins led off the bottom of the first. Rollins hit a 1-2 pitch into center for a single. Victorino was bunting, but Burnett's first pitch to him was right at him and drilled him hard on the right hand. Utley swung at the first pitch and blasted it way out to right to put the Phillies up 3-1. Howard drew a walk, but Werth struck out swinging 1-2 for the first out. Ibanez was next and hit a ball hard, but Teixeira made a great diving play to take a hit away from him. Teixeira threw to first to force Howard for the second out, but Ibanez beat the relay to keep the inning alive. Feliz grounded to short 0-1 to end the inning.
Much different approach to Burnett in this game. Rollins, Utley, Howard and Feliz were all swinging first pitch. Utley hit a big home run on the first pitch of his at-bat. Howard drew his first walk of the series. Ibanez smoked the ball he hit. Burnett threw 23 pitches in the inning.
First home run of the series for the Phils with a runner on base.
Ruiz got ahead 3-0 to start the second but struck out swinging 3-2 for the first out. Lee swung at the first pitch and grounded to first. Rollins walked on five pitches. Victorino swung at the first pitch and popped out to short. He screamed and shook his right hand, the one that had been drilled in the first, after hitting the ball.
Second time Rollins had been on base in two at-bats.
After 13 pitches in the inning, Burnett was at 36 for the game.
Utley walked on a 3-1 pitch to start the third. He stole second as the count went 1-1 on Howard — Molina didn't make a good throw, but Utley still would have been out if Jeter had been able to handle the short-hop on the throw. Howard walked to put men on first and second. Werth ripped a 1-2 pitch into center for a single. Utley scored and it was 4-1 with men on first and second. Ibanez hit a 3-1 pitch into right for a single. Howard scored and it was 5-1 with men on first and third. That was it for Burnett. Righty David Robertson came in to pitch Feliz. Feliz got ahead 2-0, but fouled out to Teixeira for the first out. Ruiz got behind 0-2 but managed to make contact, hitting a ground ball to short. Jeter got an out at second, but Werth scored and it was 6-1. Lee singled into right, moving Ruiz to second. Rollins struck out looking 1-2 to leave both runners stranded.
Nice job by Ruiz to bring the runner in from third with one out after getting way behind in the count.
Robertson set the Phillies down 1-2-3 in the fourth. Victorino grounded to second. Utley grounded to short and Howard struck out swinging 2-2.
They were up 6-2 when they hit in the fifth. Righty Alfredo Aceves was on to pitch for New York and he set the Phils down in order. Werth smashed a ball to left-center field that Gardner caught as he crashed into the wall for the first out. Ibanez grounded to first for the second and Feliz grounded to short.
Aceves was back for the sixth. Ruiz flew to right and Lee struck out swinging before Rollins singled to center. He went to second on a wild pitch before Victorino grounded to short to leave him stranded.
Third time Rollins had been on base in the game.
Lefty Phil Coke started the seventh for the Yankees. Utley led off and homered to right on a 3-2 pitch to put the Phils up 7-2. Howard struck out trying to check his swing 1-2 for the first out. Coke stayed in to pitch to Werth and Werth flew to center 2-0 for the second out. Ibanez blasted a 2-1 pitch out to right. 8-2. Coke was done. Phil Hughes came in to pitch to Feliz. Feliz struck out on three pitches to end the inning.
Utley's homer gave him five home runs for the series, which tied him for the record with Reggie Jackson. Jackson hit five in 1977. When Howard followed with a strikeout it was his twelfth of the series, which also tied him for the record. The Phils lefties fared pretty well against Coke.
Hughes was back to start the eighth with the Phillies lead cut to 8-5. Ruiz led off with a single and Stairs hit for Park. Stairs hit into a double-play on a 2-2 pitch to clear the bases. Rollins grounded to second.
Rollins was 2-for-4 with a walk in the game. The single to start the first after the Yankees pulled ahead in the top of the inning set the tone. He's 5-for-19 with five walks and a .417 on-base percentage for the series.
Victorino was 0-for-3 with a brutal hit by pitch when he tried to bunt in the first inning. He's 3-for-18 with two walks in the series. He says his hand is okay and he expects to start in game six. I don't know how okay he could be after that, but hopefully the effects are minimal by Tuesday. The thoughts of Victorino out of the game, especially in a DH game against a lefty are kind of scary. With the players on the roster right now I think it would have meant Francisco in center and Bruntlett as DH (although I think Mayberry may have taken Victorino's roster spot if Victorino couldn't play).
Utley went 2-for-3 in the game with two home runs, a walk and four RBI. In the last two games he's 4-for-7 with three home runs, a double and six RBI. 6-for-16 with a double, five home runs and three walks so far.
Howard was 0-for-2 with two walks in the game. 3-for-19 with two doubles and 12 strikeouts. 1-for-his-last-10 with six strikeouts.
Werth was 1-for-4 with an RBI in the game. 5-for-17 with two homers in the series.
Ibanez was 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in the game. Teixeira also took a hit away from him in the first on a ball he hit hard. He's 5-for-20 with two doubles and a home run in the series.
Feliz 0-for-4 with a strikeout last night after a huge game in game four. 4-for-19 with a double and a home run in the series. Ibanez and Feliz have combined not to walk in 39 at-bats.
Ruiz was 1-for-4 with an RBI last night. 4-for-16 with two doubles and a home run in the set. He's also walked three times.
Despite the early exit by Burnett, Robertson was the only pitcher to throw more than 20 pitches out of the Yankees bullpen. He threw 27. I think who the Yankees didn't use in the blowout, most noticeably Rivera and Marte, might say a lot about who they have confidence in. I don't think you're going to see much of Coke against the Phillies lefties in game six if things are close.
No game today. Pedro and Pettitte tomorrow night.

Tuberculosis vaccine fails in tests on infants
Philadelphia, PA, United States (4E) – An experimental tuberculosis vaccine failed to prevent infection and progression of the disease during its trial on 2,800 South African babies, according to the drug's developer.
The ineffectiveness of the MVA85A vaccine was revealed in an online report by the medical journal The Lancet on Monday.
An official of the Rockville, Maryland-based non-profit biotechnology company Aeras, which developed the vaccine, said the vaccine only failed on infants four to six months old. Aeras head Tom Evans said the MVA85A is not going to be ineffective on adults.
American, British and South African researchers from the University of Oxford and the University of Cape Town conducted the clinical trial of the vaccine on infants in Cape Town from 2009 to 2011. The vaccine supposedly works by stimulating production of antimicrobial gamma-interferon substance to boost the limited immunity given by the standard TB shot called Bacille Calmette-Guerin or BCG. BCG does not protect from TB infection but reduces the chances of the disease spreading to other organs.
Half the infants in the clinical trial were immunized with MVA85A while the other half was injected with placebo. Within the next two years, 13 percent of those vaccinated were infected with TB and 2 percent developed the disease. About 12 percent of the other babies given placebo also got infected with TB and 3 percent developed a full-blown disease.
The World Health Organization counted 8.7 million people with TB in 2011. Of the number, 1.4 million died. One-third of the world's population are carriers of the lung disease that is spread by a bacterium in the air.
