Despite winning their first match over Iroquois, the Lady Panthers lost two straight to Ludlow and Williamstown to eliminate themselves from their home tournament, the Carroll County River Classic, Saturday.
Everything was clicking early for the Lady Panthers, who posted a 25-19 victory in game one over Iroquois. "They just came out guns blazing; they did an awesome job," head coach Kristen Hooper said.
However, things slowed down in game two, and the girls began giving points away to the Lady Raiders. Hooper said her team "got too comfortable," but were able to hang on for a 25-23 win and advance.
The Lady Panthers hit a low point for the day during their match with the Lady Panthers of Ludlow. In game one, shanked passes hurt Carroll's bid to get back into it, falling 25-17. Hooper said her team struggled handling the visitors' jump floaters that came across the net.
They stayed close in the beginning of game two, tied 9-9, but fell behind because of poor serve/receive and being on the wrong end of long rallies.
"As a team, we should never be beat by a free ball; we should never be getting beat by a tip," Hooper said. "If we are doing the little things right and staying in our base and moving like we should be, we should never get beat by something like that, but we were. I'm not sure if it was frustration with the team as a whole, or just it was a long day ... or what exactly it was, but we were getting beat by little things that we should never ever get beat by. And that's frustrating as a coach; that's frustrating as a player."
The Lady Panthers looked for redemption against a familiar opponent in game three: the Williamstown Lady Demons. The two teams had already met during the regular season twice and had won at their respective home gyms, 2-1.
Carroll started strong with a kill by senior Olivia Welch, but just as quickly, fell behind 5-10, forcing Hooper to take a timeout. The Lady Panthers regrouped, tying the game 12-12. However, the Lady Demons gained a 2-3 point advantage and maintained it until late in the game, ultimately pulling away for a 25-19 victory.
In the second game, the two teams stayed close throughout, with the largest lead being a 17-13 Carroll advantage following a Williamstown spike that sailed out of bounds. However, the Lady Demons stayed close and tied the game on an ace, 20-20. Unfortunately for the home team, they were not able to close out the game, losing 25-23.
Junior Ariel Hotfil recorded a block and a kill in the match, while junior Erin Spradlin and senior Alyssa Hartman both registered a kill. Sophomore Kristen Amick also had a block against Williamstown.
Hooper said her team served a little more consistently and "played more like a team" in game two, but the slow start made it too little too late.
Seeing the long faces and the tears shed by some of the Carroll County players after the game, you could tell that winning the tournament would have meant a lot to them.
"Our goal was All-A, and All-A didn't turn out very well. So we regrouped and now our goal was to win our home tournament, and we couldn't win our home tournament," Hooper said. "I think it was just disappointment with the way the season has gone this year for our four seniors."
Senior Leah Chandler was back on the court for Carroll County following an injury but was still not 100 percent, and fellow senior Celess Parson watched the game from the bleachers due to illness.
Hooper said Spradlin stepped up in the Iroquois game, notching multiple kills and hitting her spots well. Junior Megan Harris also passed the ball very well in the Lady Panthers' victory.
Against Ludlow and Williamstown, Welch's aggressiveness at the net stood out to Hooper. "We've been working on, in practice, helping out our setters and taking care of a second ball if it's right there, and she's done a really good job of taking care of that – turning and spiking or turning and tipping or even setting it up if she has to. She's really done a nice job with that," she said.
Hooper also praised Hotfil for her consistent play throughout the tournament and blocks at the net.

Stuart Johnson, Deseret News
As the Utah Department of Transportation considers options for the West Davis Corridor, one of its highest priorities should be protecting private property rights.
I recognize that the government can legally take land to build roads, but this should be done only when there are no other good alternatives. The compensation given for taking someone's home cannot make up for the true costs of displacing a family.
UDOT has said that aside from complying with laws and regulations, they do not have guidelines that tell them what is most important in considering routes. There are many people willing to "speak for the trees" and legislation protecting the environment. Who protects the most basic right of owning a home?
UDOT should do everything possible to find a good route that takes the fewest homes possible. In regard to the West Davis Corridor, the Glover option, which takes no homes should be considered a much better option than the Shepard route, which takes at least 10 homes and goes right through the middle of a community.

The US Supreme Court announced Monday that it will start highlighting changes to public released opinions. The changes will be highlighted in the text of the opinion and both the old and new material will be visible to readers by placing their cursor over the brightened sections.
This may not come as particularly earth-shattering news, but it is construed by some as a small concession by the Highest Court in response to complaints regarding the court's lack of transparency. Certain groups have actively pushed for the use of cameras in the Court, a notion that Justice Antonin Scalia has dismissed.

Pick Up This Deal Even Lower Than SVP OF MERCHANDISE Swearengin Did
Friday, August 21, 2:25 PM ET, by Market News Video Staff
There's an old saying on Wall Street about insider buying: there are many possible reasons ...
Symbols mentioned in this story: SPLV, AZO, ORLY, DTV
Exchange traded funds (ETFs) trade just like stocks, but instead of ''shares'' investors are actually buying and selling ''units''. These ''units'' can be traded back and forth just like stocks, but can also be created or destroyed to accommodate investor demand. Each week we monitor the week-over-week change in shares outstanding data, to keep a lookout for those ETFs experiencing notable inflows (many new units created) or outflows (many old units destroyed). Creation of new units will mean the underlying holdings of the ETF need to be purchased, while destruction of units involves selling underlying holdings, so large flows can also impact the individual components held within ETFs.
Looking today at week-over-week shares outstanding changes among the universe of ETFs covered at ETF Channel, one standout is the S&P 500 Low Volatility Portfolio (AMEX:SPLV) where we have detected an approximate $52.2 million dollar inflow -- that's a 7.2% increase week over week in outstanding units (from 28,550,100 to 30,600,100). Among the largest underlying components of SPLV, in trading today AutoZone, Inc. (NYSE:AZO) is up about 1.1%, O'Reilly Automotive, Inc. (NASDAQ:ORLY) is down about 0.1%, and DIRECTV (DTV) is relatively unchanged. For a complete list of holdings, visit the SPLV Holdings page �
The chart below shows the one year price performance of SPLV, versus its 200 day moving average:
Looking at the chart above, SPLV's low point in its 52 week range is $21.74 per share, with $36.56 as the 52 week high point � that compares with a last trade of $25.56. Comparing the most recent share price to the 200 day moving average can also be a useful technical analysis technique -- learn more about the 200 day moving average �.


text: Hi, I am running some virtual walkthrough software (from http://www.cs.unc.edu/~walk/) that uses MesaGL to render view of a large architectural model (160,000 polygons). I ran a simple test that involved 300 renders with randomly chosen camera parameters. My hardware is IBM Thinkpad 560 running Linux (it has a Neomagic NM2160 chipset which does not do any hardware rendering, so Mesa does it all in software, I believe). I have two test machines, one with RH6.2 (with the Mesa3.2-2 and Mesa-devel-3.2-2 rpms) and the other with RH7.1 (Mesa-3.4-13 and Mesa-devel-3.4-13). I noticed a surprising difference between Mesa 3.2 and Mesa 3.4. With 3.2, render time depended a lot on camera position: the best case was just under 1 second of CPU, corresponding to the cases where the camera was looking away from the building into empty space, but went as high as 2.6 sec in the worst case. With Mesa 3.4, on the other hand, it was between 1.1 sec and 1.3 sec in all cases. So, in 3.4, the best case got 10-20% slower, but the worst case disappeared. This seems like some pretty basic algorithm got changed. Is that true? Could someone help me out with this? I am quite happy with the new behaviour, but I would like to be able to explain it, and to be sure it's not just some weird artefact. Thanks Dushyanth

Settlers and soldiers descended on Ramallah following Palestinian attacks that claimed four Israeli lives in recent days, and mobs in Jerusalem chant "Death to Arabs," as some Palestinians speculate that a third intifada has begun in response to incursions on the Al-Aqsa mosque.

In Ramallah, thousands celebrate Palestine at the UN amid doubt it will result in meaningful change
Thousands of Palestinians in the West Bank city of Ramallah gathered outdoors Thursday evening to watch a simulcast of President Mahmoud Abbas address the United Nations General Assembly, and celebrate the raising of the Palestinian flag at UN headquarters. Despite the excitement at the event, many of the onlookers were skeptical of the achievement and voiced criticisms of Abbas's announcement that the Palestinian Authority is no longer bound by the Oslo Accords.
Parents of slain Palestinian teen say Israeli forces planted knife
Hadil al-Hashlamoun was shot to death at a Hebron checkpoint by Israeli soldiers on September 22. Al-Hashlamoun's family, a witness who has since fled to his native Brazil, and the human rights group Amnesty International all insist Hadil posed no threat to the firing soldiers. Yet the Israeli military has said Hadil was carrying a weapon, a claim that is disputed by the sole eyewitness present for the full encounter. Al-Hashlamoun's parents now assert that the Israeli military planted a weapon near her body more than 30 minutes after she was struck with live-fire.
Tolstoy's War and Peace . . . and Palestine
On a recent September evening, two groups of culturally curious people, separated by countries and borders, virtually gathered together for art and social justice. At Said Al-Mishal Establishment for Culture and Science, Gaza's Theatre for Everybody performed a short version of Tolstoy's classic "War and Peace." Simultaneously, on the other side of the world at London's Az Theatre, a group of British and international supporters gathered to watch a previously recorded version of the same performance. The play was centered on two themes: condemning war and denouncing dictatorship.
Palestinians in Duma are angry that no one has been charged for murders, after 38 days
Thousands poured into the West Bank hamlet of Duma for a third funeral over the past five weeks, this time mourning Riham Dawabshe who died Sunday on her 27th birthday from injuries sustained during a settler arson attack on her home on July 31st. Riham's youngest son, 18-month year old Ali Dawabshe was killed in the blasts that destroyed two apartments. Her husband Sa'ad Dawabshe, 32, died last month on the couple's anniversary, also from wounds inflicted during the firebombing. Although the arsonists left a graffiti tag in Hebrew indicating the killings were a nationalist crime, to date Israel has not charged anyone with the murders.
Skunk water for Palestinian protesters, not right-wing Jews, in roads near Mohammad Allan's hunger strike
Bedlam stretched across the working-class Israeli town of Ashkelon yesterday after Israel reneged on what would have been a first medical visit by a Palestinian health official to Mohammed Allan, 31, a Palestinian hunger striking detainee hospitalized in the coastal Israeli city. For a second time in five days police dispersed Palestinian protesters in Ashkelon using force, and spraying heaps of putrid smelling liquid from a water cannon. This time, cloaking demonstrators, members of Knesset and Israeli bystanders alike.
'They are the terrorists'–-Palestinians mourn a second death from settler arson attack
Hundreds of mourners from the northern West Bank poured into the hamlet of Duma to lay to rest a second Palestinian killed today after succumbing to wounds from a settler arson attack last week. Sa'ad Dawabshe, father of baby Ali Dawabshe who burned to death in the attack, died in the early morning hours in a hospital in southern Israel where he was being treated. His remains were transferred to his parents' home outside of Nablus.
Mother of Palestinian baby burned to death tried to save her child
Riham Dawabshe, the mother of 18 month-old Ali Dawabshe who burned to death in a settler arson attack Friday in the West Bank hamlet of Duma, tried to save her baby while fleeing from her home, engulfed in flames. Gasoline bombs had crashed into the building shortly after 1:30am and quickly it filled with opaque smoke. Dawabshe, herself on fire, grabbed a blanket she thought cradled her son. She rushed outside. But the blanket was empty, a fact the mother only realized when in her front yard. Yet at that time the fire had grown, making reentry impossible.
Hundreds of Israelis join protest to save Bedouin village on brink of demolition
For Palestinian-Bedouins living in the south Hebron hills under the threat of demolition and expulsion, victories are rare. Yet residents from the tin and tarp village of Susiya are uncharacteristically optimistic that they will receive a reprieve from the impending demolition of their village that is scheduled to take place before August 3rd.
Susiya gets backup from 'NYT', EU, and State Dep't — will Israel dare to demolish the village?
Due to years of activist support for the threatened village of Susiya in the occupied Hebron Hills, the New York Times, the State Department, and the European Union have told Israel to leave the Palestinians alone. Will demolition plans move forward?

Palestinian teen killed on way to pray in Jerusalem
Before sunrise 17-year old Mohammed Hani al-Kasbah went to morning prayers at a mosque one block from his house in Qalandia refugee camp in Jerusalem, which is separated from the rest of the city by Israel's security barrier. By afternoon his remains were carried into the same building for a funeral after he was shot and killed by Israeli forces. Two older brothers were also killed by Israeli forces 14 years ago.
Palestinian farm struggles to survive in West Bank town caught between Israeli sewage and the separation wall
Fayez Tneeb marveled at his organically grown banana tree even though it is failing and rooted in a waste water stream. He and his wife Mona are proprietors of Hakoritana Farm in Tulkarm, located in the northern West Bank only 100 meters from Israel. For the Tneebs, harvesting pesticide-free agriculture that they take to a local market is a constant struggle. The couple's plot of land is caught between an Israeli factory that manufactures fertilizers and agrochemicals, and Israel's separation barrier.
Marking Memorial Day in Tel Aviv with Kahanists and Combatants for Peace
On Tuesday night, a busload of Palestinians from the West Bank and hundreds of Israeli Jews filed into the Tel Aviv Exhibition Grounds to attend a Combatants for Peace event billed as an "Israeli-Palestinian Memorial Day Ceremony: Honoring the Victims, Fighting for Peace." Kahanist protesters had opposed Palestinian participation in the event and baited attendees as they entered. Dan Cohen reports on the proceedings and finds the Kahanists may be a bit more honest then their liberal Israeli counterparts.
A tale of two Susiyas, or how a Palestinian village was destroyed under the banner of Israeli archeology
Hiam al-Nawaja dreams to live in what she calls a "normal house." The 23-year old mother of three small children and sheepherder manages in a cinder block frame insulated with a tarp a typical modest home in Susiya, a pastoral Palestinian village set in the rolling south Hebron Hills in the West Bank. Yet a few short decades ago Susiya's residents had sturdy stone structures built over ancient caves on a hilltop one kilometer from where their town stands today. The former location, "old Susiya," is close enough that al-Nawaja can see bulldozed remains from her kitchen window. It was destroyed in 1986 when Israel dismantled the town's mosque to uncover an ancient Jewish synagogue dating back to the sixth century.
Joint List leads march to Jerusalem demanding recognition and equal rights for Bedouin
There are still a few weeks before head of the Joint List Ayman Odeh begins his first term in Israel's parliament, yet he has already led a protest across the country. This past weekend Odeh led the "March for Recognition" with hundreds of Bedouins who live in unrecognized villages. The 130 kilometer trek from the southern Negev desert to Jerusalem officially ended on President Reuven Rivlin's doorstep Sunday afternoon.
Palestinians mark the 39th anniversary of Land Day
Today, March 30th Palestinians in Israel and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, marched for Land Day, Yom al-Arda in Arabic, which commemorates protest in the Galilee in 1976 where six Palestinian citizens of Israel were killed.
Joint List to lead mass march on Jerusalem, as Netanyahu forms a gov't
While Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is in the final hours of forming a ruling coalition to lead the country, the Joint List is organizing a mass march. Unrecognized villagers will camp and walk their way to Israel's seat of government, all while their party's leadership is tightening ties with presumed opposition heads in the Zionist Camp.
'We aim to shape the democratic and moral alternative in this country' — an interview with Ayman Odeh
Months ago questions were raised if, at all, there would be any Arab representatives in the next Knesset. Then the groups unified under a single banner headed by Ayman Odeh, 41, a first time Knesset candidate from Haifa who started his career in public office at the age of 23 on Haifa's city council. Now the long road is coming to and end and the Joint Arab List is the third largest party in the country with the potential, for the first time, to influence the outcome of elections.
Palestinian leaders vote to end security coordination with Israel, a cornerstone of Oslo and the occupation
Palestinian leaders decided Thursday night they will "end all forms of security coordination with Israel," a much-criticized practice of shared policing across the West Bank and a staple of Israeli-Palestinian relations over the last two decades. Still the announcement included one loophole where Israel could salvage the security arrangement, signaling the Palestinian leaders could be seeking to leverage Israel's security concerns as a tactic for the release Palestinian VAT-taxes frozen during the winter after the Palestinians acceded to the Rome Statute, joining the International Criminal Court (ICC) where they can charge Israel with war crimes.
Israeli voters not impressed by Netanyahu's speech to Congress
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech to Congress on Tuesday elicited strong opinions from U.S. elected officials with rave reviews from Republicans and condemnation from several Democrats. But back home Israelis were nonplussed over the talk—if they watched at all.
Bil'in marks ten years of resisting the occupation
Plumes of teargas wafted up the terraced hillside of the West Bank village of Bil'in on Friday when over 1,000 demonstrators marked ten years of weekly protests against Israel's separation wall and occupation, outside of Ramallah. Israelis drove in from Tel Aviv, and international activists and Palestinians from nearby towns flocked to march from the center of Bil'in, to the hamlet's agricultural grounds. As with every Friday, clashes ensued once protesters reached the outskirts of town where olive orchards and patch vegetable farms buffer Israel's concrete barrier and one of the most populated settlements, Modi'in Illit.
How Rahat became a symbol of Israeli inequality
Khalid Ja'ar once worked for Birthright, showing American Jews the "Bedouin experience" in the Negev. But after his son was killed by Israeli police and the town of Rahat has become a focus of Palestinian resistance, and Ja'ar's world has changed.
Despite punitive Israeli tax freeze, Palestinians to pursue war crimes charges with Arab League financial help
Within days of Palestinians announcing they would join the International Criminal Court (ICC), Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced his country would stop transferring customs revenue to the Palestinian Authority. The punitive move was expected to lead to a crisis for the Palestinian leadership as government services would collapse across the West Bank. But the Palestinian Authority had an unexpected back up plan. The Arab League has agreed to provide emergency funds to cover the VAT-taxes frozen by Israel. This Arab League safety net will help the Palestinians avoid the expected temporary bankruptcy and allow them to move forward with pressing for war crimes at the ICC. In fact, financial support from the Arab League was a key component, along with joining the ICC, of long-term strategy to pressure Israel into negotiations.
Fireworks in Ramallah, as Abbas signs treaty to join International Criminal Court
A day after begin rebuffed by the UN Security Council on a bid to end the occupation, Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas has surprised the world by signing the Rome Statute, to be able to bring charges against Israel to the International Criminal Court. The US and Netanyahu seethe.

Is there a corporate agenda in the United States Department of Education? According to Education Secretary Arne Duncan, no.
The Senate has passed a $1.1 trillion budget that includes $70.6 billion for education.
The ruling this week by a federal court on the Open Internet (Net Neutrality) Order may turn out to be, as one commenter called it, "a terrible idea," or, as another observer put it, a source of "a lot of overheated rhetoric." Education, for its part, could well see major changes to how it's able to deliver learning content to students online.
Congress is close to approving a $1 trillion bill to fund the government for 2014 and 2015 that teeters in between the wishes put forward by the White House, the Democrat-controlled Senate, and the Republican-controlled House of Representatives. The bill passed in the United States House of Representatives today 359-67 and will next be taken up in the Senate.
The Obama administration is asking colleges and universities for new ideas related to college affordability and technologies to advance student learning at all levels.

CT asks Southern New Hampshire University President Paul LeBlanc about the implications of competency-based assessment.
The United States Department of Education recently published its list of the 25 programs that will receive funding in the fourth round of the Investing in Innovation (i3) competition. Those programs will receive a combined total of $134 million before the end of the year.
Federal funding for university research and development has fallen off for the first time since 1974. Two agencies accounted for the decline.
Across-the-board cuts in federal spending have already had "immediate, detrimental effects" on research universities, including losses in personnel, a diminished capacity for purchasing equipment, a drop in productivity and cuts to research programs. And it's having a serious, negative impact on students as well, according to a new report.

OAKLAND TOWNSHIP — This fall, residents are invited to learn a new skill, create a craft, or conquer a fear of spiders at township parks.
Township officials want residents to experience nature in innovative ways.
"We are trying to be new and inventive," Oakland Township Parks and Recreation Manager Becky McLogan said. "There are elements of programming that typically draw people in. They have to do with your senses."
Teenagers are invited to a Full Moon Madness campfire 8:30-10 p.m. Sept. 20 at Bear Creek Nature Park, on Snell Road. A telescope will be available for moon viewing, along with spray paint for space-themed posters. A Dinosaur Hill naturalist will lead the program.
"We are excited to reach out to that age level, and it is a great chance for teens to get outside," said Dinosaur Hill Director Sue Neal. "It links nature with science, geology, pop culture and an art project."
The event is free to township residents and is $3 for non-residents.
The township's new Lost Lake Park Nature Center will open formally at 4 p.m. Oct. 3, and the opening includes a guided kayak wetland tour and a hiking tour of the park's oak-pine barrens. The free event includes a T-shirt stencil session.
In addition to the new nature center, Lost Lake Park features a renovated sled hill that is ready for winter activities. The old sled hill funneled sledders into one spot at the bottom of the hill.
"We flattened that out," McLogan said. "We graded it and made it safer, but we haven't taken the fun out of it."
Kayaking for beginners will be held 10 a.m.-noon Oct. 5 at Lost Lake Park. The class focuses on safety and stroke techniques, and is $20 for residents or $35 for non-residents, including kayak rental.
Cranberry Lake Farm, on Predmore Road, hosts a fall corn harvest event 1-2:30 p.m. Oct. 12. Young and old are invited to try their hand at grinding corn, fashioning a corn craft and popping popcorn around an open fire.
The Cranberry Lake Historic District is located within Cranberry Lake Park. The park features the renovated historic Axford Coffin farmhouse and several restored farm buildings.
"The setting is perfect," McLogan said. "Several Historic Society volunteers have built an old-fashioned corncrib out there, and they will tie that into the aspects of the program."
The event is $3 for residents and $5 for nonresidents.
Elementary school students will explore the world of spiders during an after-school program 4:30-6 p.m. Oct. 22 at Lost Lake Nature Park. Students will search for spiders, learn about the spiders of the area and make a giant spider Halloween decoration.
"Elementary kids are always interested in the odd or unusual," Neal said.
The program aims to give children an understanding and appreciation for spiders, "as opposed to fear, in a fun way," Neal said.
In November, a preschool program will teach youngsters about the winter activities of insects and animals, and includes a walk, a craft and a story.
McLogan said there are openings in all township fall nature programs, but the programs fill up quickly. For more information or to register, call (248) 651-7810 or visit www.oaklandtownship.org.

The tale begins when Derice Bannock (Leon), realizing that due to an accident his chances of qualifying for Jamaica's 1988 Olympic track team are dashed, scrounges around looking for another sport for the competition. Since ex-United States gold medal bobsledding winner Irv Blitzer (John Candy) now lives in Jamaica, Derice chooses bobsledding, convincing Irv to coach the team. Derice then forms his team. He gets his friend Sanka Cofie (Doug E. Doug) to join up and recruits Junior Bevil (Rawle D.

Tips From The Playground: What Parenting Taught Me About Networking
Before being a mom, I'd never thought that spending so much time on the playground could help my career.
Before being a mom, I'd never thought that spending so much time on the playground could help my career.
Yeah, we know. Networking is one of the best ways to find a job. But what if you're out and about, meeting and greeting, and still don't have a job to show for it?
Even if your friends can't give you insider information on an organization you admire, consider the following ways that they can give your job search a boost.
When job seekers identify what they have to offer, they open up a less draining, more personal way to network: through giving.
What if we thought of networking as a way to meet people with whom we share mutual interests and aspirations?
There are better ways to introduce people.
How can you successfully, meaningfully network when you don't have a job? Keep these three tips in mind.
If you're moving to a new city for a new job, building up a local network of friends and colleagues can be daunting and lonely. Here are some tips that may be useful, based on my personal experience of moving from NYC to San Francisco.

Japanese only SHM SACD pressing. Universal. 2011.
Songs in the Key of Life (1976) was the highest high point of Stevie Wonder's career. More sprawling than Innervisions and Talking Book, this two-LP-plus-EP was also less of a consistent stunner than either of those masterworks. That Songs retains an enormous amount of visionary relevance, though, is demonstrated not only in Coolio's borrowing of "Pastime Paradise" as a template for "Gangsta's Paradise," but in the cold-as-ice synthesized string quartet of "Village Ghetto Land." This is Stevie, so naturally that cut's anger is balanced by the ultra-buoyant "I Wish," "Sir Duke," and "Another Star." The 2000 reissue boasts radically improved remastered sound. --Rickey Wright --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

Proposed Principles for Content Blocking
Content blocking has become a hot issue across the Web and mobile ecosystems. It was already becoming pervasive on desktop, and now Apple's iOS has made it possible to develop iOS applications whose purpose is to block content. This caused the most recent flurry of activity, concern and focus. We need to pay attention.
Content blocking is not going away – it is now part of our online experience. But the landscape isn't well understood, making it harder to know how best to advance a healthy, open Web. Users want it –whether to avoid the display of ads, protect against unwanted tracking, improve load speed, or reduce data consumption– and we need to address how we as an industry should respond. We wanted to start by hacking on proposed principles for content blocking. The growing availability and use of content blockers tells us that users want to control their experience.
This is a good thing. But some content blocking could be harmful in ways that may not be obvious. For example, if content blocking creates new gatekeepers who can pick winners and losers in the publishing space or who favor their own content over others', it ultimately harms competition and innovation. In the long run, users could lose as much control as they gain. The same happens if the commercial model of the Web is not part of the content blocking debate.
In my last post, I conveyed our intention to engage with this landscape, not solely through analysis and research, but also through experimentation, product development, and advocacy.
To help guide our efforts and hopefully inform others, we've developed three proposed "content blocking principles" that would help advance the beneficial effects of content blocking while minimizing the risks. We want your help hacking on them. Just as our data privacy principles help guide our data practices, these content blocking principles will help guide what we build and what we support across the industry.
Content is not inherently good or bad – with some notable exceptions, such as malware. So these principles aren't about what content is OK to block and what isn't. They speak to how and why content can be blocked, and how the user can be maintained at the center through that process.
At Mozilla, our mission is to ensure a Web that is open and trusted and that puts our users in control. For content blocking, here is what we think that means:
- Content Neutrality: Content blocking software should focus on addressing potential user needs (such as on performance, security, and privacy) instead of blocking specific types of content (such as advertising).
- Transparency & Control: The content blocking software should provide users with transparency and meaningful controls over the needs it is attempting to address.
- Openness: Blocking should maintain a level playing field and should block under the same principles regardless of source of the content. Publishers and other content providers should be given ways to participate in an open Web ecosystem, instead of being placed in a permanent penalty box that closes off the Web to their products and services.
Tell us what you think of these proposed principles on your social channels using #contentblocking and join us on Friday October 9 at 11am PT for our #BlockParty, a conversation around the problems and possible solutions to the content blocking question. We look forward to working with our users, our partners and the rest of the Web ecosystem to advance our shared goal of a healthy, open Web.

Hello and thank you for taking the time to visit our website that is dedicated to 'A GATHERING OF MIGHT' events.
Amongst the pages here you should find everything you need to know about our Warhammer Fantasy Battle events. If you have any questions then please do not hesitate to contact us.
A Gathering of Might events will be using the Warhammer : Age of Sigmar rules.
Our current thoughts on how to work this are as follows.
Following some game testing AGOM format will be as follows :
Each entrant will select their army Core Force from one of the army compendiums available on the Games Workshop website. This Core Force must contain a minnimum of 40 Wounds worth of models, contain 1 warscroll with the keyword "Hero" and 2 other warcrolls without the keywords"Hero", "Warmachine" or "Monster" after these 3 warscrolls any number of warscrolls may be added to your Core Force as long as a minimum of 40 wounds have benn taken. This force must always be deployed and will be considered the core force of your army.
You then have the option during deployment to deploy warscrolls from your Auxillery Cohort which consist of any other warscrolls from the same faction as your core force(keywords: order, death, chaos or destruction). No warscroll can be taken more than once or taken if it features in your core fore (even if it is in 2 army compendiums e.g. giants). The total number of wounds you can deploy may not exceed 100.
You will qualify for sudden death victory condition only if your opponent deployed 1/3 more wounds than you not models. to determine % casualties compare starting wounds with wounds of casualties (models removed) instead of the number of models removed.
Organisations - if you wish to take an organisation out of the back of army compendiums this is permitted and is one of the only times warscrolls can be duplicated and only as part of the organisation.
Summoning units - unit can be summoned and can result in multiple copies of the same warscroll being present on the battlefield. Summoned units cannot take part in the hero phase in which they are summoned.
Scenarios - scenarios will be used during agom, see our information pack page for the first and any subsiquent released scenarios.
Although this proposed system is not rules as written we feel that this is a reasonable and simple way to adapt Age of Sigmar for tournament events while still incorporating the spirit of the rules. We are still testing this set up so please be patient with us as this may change depending on the results of play testing.
Thank you

Cub Pitchers and Hitters Shine under Overcast Arizona Skies
Hak-Ju Lee ripped a double and a triple, drove-in three runs, and scored another, Gioskar Amaya had three hits (two singles and a triple), two RBI, and two runs scored, and five pitchers combined to throw a four-hit shutout with 14 strikeouts, as the Cubs blanked the A's Split Squad #1 7-0 in AZ Instructional League action at Fitch Park Field #3 in Mesa this afternoon.
The game was halted with two outs in the top of the 9th after a severe thunderstorm came roaring into Mesa, causing BP screens and tarps to fly across Fitch Park amidst high winds, heavy rain, and lightning & thunder, as the Cubs ran for their clubhouse, the umpires hot-footed it for their dressing room, the A's loaded up their gear (and themselves) into their two maxi-vans, and the scouts in attendance made a beeline for their cars parked in the lot across the street.
Josh Vitters got his first career start at 1st base today, a position he will supposedly be playing (at least occasionally) in the AFL (which begins play next week). He handled two chances flawlessly at the 1st sack, and also had three Plate Appearances during the course of the game, grounding out to second, rapping a single to RF, and lofting a pop out to 2B.
The Cubs got some really good pitching today, with 19-year old RHP Robinson Lopez (one of the pitchers acquired by the Cubs from Atlanta in the Derrek Lee deal) getting the start and throwing a shutout inning in what was his AZ Instructional League debut. Lopez mixed a 94 MPH fastball with a change-up and a hard-breaking slider to work through his one inning with a minimum of difficulty. He will probably be a rotation starter at Daytona next season.
22-year old RHP (and ex-3B) Charles Thomas (Cubs 2009 10th round draft pick) wowed the scouts in attendance, displaying a 98 MPH heater, a mid-80's splitter, and a 82 MPH slider, and throwing all of his pitches with minimum effort. Thomas was a combination 3B/RHRP at Edward Waters College in Jacksonville, FL (the alma mater of legendary Negro League player & manager and Cub coach & scout Buck O'Neil), but the Cubs drafted him as a third-baseman and played him there exclusively through most of his first two seasons in pro ball. But then he was moved to the mound this past July, and he had been working on his mechanics in side-sessions only for the past ten days after making his initial Instructs appearance in the first game on 9/23. At 6'4 230+ Thomas is an intimidating presence on the mound (he looks a bit like Lee Smith, or maybe Ray Lewis would be a better comparison), and he might be someone who could move very quickly up through the pipeline, as long as he can command his filthy stuff. At least he has a pitching background, so he won't have to spend as much time as some other conversion project would learning the basics of pitching.
RHP Aaron Kurcz continued to throw "lights out" in the AZ Instructional League, using a 95 MPH fastball and hard slider to strike out the first five men he faced (just blowing them away), before allowing a wind-aided double off the LF fence on what turned out to be the last pitch of the game (before the sky opened up and sent everybody running for cover). The 20-year old Kurcz was the Cubs 10th round draft pick out of the College of Southern Nevada (where his teammate was 2010 #1 overall draft pick Bryce Harper) this past June, and he has been absolutely mesmerizing no matter where the Cubs have sent him. He struck out 45 and allowed just 15 hits in 27.1 IP (with a 0.95 WHIP) combined between the AZL Cubs and Boise during the regular season, and he has allowed no runs on two hits with one walk and 12 strikeouts in just 7.2 IP over three outings so far at Instructs. I was told by a scout that Kurcz was overlooked because of his slight build (6'1 170), and while he might not have the physical intimidation factor of a Charles Thomas, his arm really packs a wallop.
Cubs Player Development Director and V. P. of Player Personnel Oneri Fleita arrived in Arizona this morning, and watched the game from the Observation Tower.

Re: Cub Pitchers and Hitters Shine under Overcast Arizona Skies
AZ Phil,
Thanks for these reports. There's no substitute for on-site observation and analysis, and you obviously have some contacts in the organization.
Going thru the updated Roster Info, would you hazard an educated guess on how much of a reduction from $145M they're looking at for 2011?
If Archer, Brett Jackson, and/or Carpenter have a ST like Colvin this year, do you think they would break camp with the team?
Besides a LH 1B, would their next highest priority be a RHRP or a 3rd/4th SP?
Re: Cub Pitchers and Hitters Shine under Overcast Arizona Skies
Thanks, Phil.....this OF needs a trade involving Fukudome or Ricketts willingness to eat a lot of Soriano's contract with the latter being the least likely to ever happen.
Re: Cub Pitchers and Hitters Shine under Overcast Arizona Skies
Sorry if this is 3/44, but Matt Murton broke Ichiro's single season hits record in Japan.
Re: Cub Pitchers and Hitters Shine under Overcast Arizona Skies
I figured they were just going to start walking him like they did Tuffy Rhodes... I bet there's an * in the record books for Ichiro. He is, after all, the second greatest player of all time.
Re: Cub Pitchers and Hitters Shine under Overcast Arizona Skies
Ichiro did it in 130 game season
Murton in 144 games.
/maris-ruth thing
Re: Cub Pitchers and Hitters Shine under Overcast Arizona Skies
When Murt made the move to Japan I thought it was a great opportunity for him to develop his power which could mean a ticket back to major league baseball. But nope. He's a dope.
At least so far.
It looks like he's pretty much producing at a rate like we saw in 2006 just with more at bats, a lower walk rate--and of course more hits. Here's all I could find in the way of stats for him this year:
Murton, Matt (Tigers) .352 BA 17 HR 86 RBI .396 OBP 605 AB
Re: Cub Pitchers and Hitters Shine under Overcast Arizona Skies
one of the best AAAA players in quite a while.
Re: Cub Pitchers and Hitters Shine under Overcast Arizona Skies
Meh...could still be a decent bench player for soomeone.. .286/.352/.436 career. Good for Murton.
Re: Cub Pitchers and Hitters Shine under Overcast Arizona Skies
Reminds me of Fukudome's numbers before he came over.
Re: Cub Pitchers and Hitters Shine under Overcast Arizona Skies
The video reels of his hits look extremely familiar. He's not hitting the ball drastically better. Lots of ground balls through the infield and line drives to right that don't have very much threat behind them. I can't figure out why hasn't developed power, but sometimes I forget that it's not an easy thing to learn.
Re: Cub Pitchers and Hitters Shine under Overcast Arizona Skies
Ballpark Digest comments today on the Cubs-Mesa deal:
The Cubs and Mesa have described the lease as running 30 years, but that's not quite right: it's a 25-year lease with two five-year options, and the Cubs can leave after 20 with a buyout, as spelled out in the current Memo of Understanding between the team and Mesa. It is quite the doozy: Mesa pays for everything (including water and trash service; the Cubs will pay for electricity) and receives literally no revenue from the project past normal sales-tax* revenues. The Cubs retain everything, including naming rights, suite revenues, concessions and parking revenues.
Which, apparently, was the price for keeping the Cubs in Mesa.
*Mesa Sales Tax is 1.75% which is added onto the Arizona state sales tax of 6.6% and the Maricopa county sales tax of 0.7% when you purchase retail items. All of which means that the average household in Mesa is on the hook (if voters approve) for $1000 plus interest to finance this deal but the State of Arizona, which contributed nothing, will be the beneficiary of most of the tax revenue generated by keeping the Cubs in Arizona.
Re: Cub Pitchers and Hitters Shine under Overcast Arizona Skies
What about the tax-free income that the area residents get from selling concessions and parking? Also, the residents of Mesa all luckiliy live in Arizona, and Maricopa county, so they've been benefitting from the sales taxes at HoHoKam, as well as the various other ballparks in the Phoenix area for years. It's not like the government takes the money out of Phoenix and spends it all in La Paz.
Re: Cub Pitchers and Hitters Shine under Overcast Arizona Skies
That ARZ mining money isn't coming in anymore like it was for decades...especially now that copper prices have become more sane and mining projects are being abandoned.
ARZ still enjoys a relatively low taxation rate compared to most of the nation...which is probably part of the reason they have insane as hell redlight/stoplight/traffic fines to help pay for city services in the larger cities.
Re: Cub Pitchers and Hitters Shine under Overcast Arizona Skies
I should have also added that since I started going to ST games in the early 90's, Cubs tickets have increased in price 2 to 5 fold - yet the park hasn't had a great number of improvements made during that period.

James Russell elected free agency.
based on what SF has been doing every other year lately, getting access to the postseason playoffs seems to be what's important. bring on dat short series!
that said, skipping the sudden death 1-game WC would be nice from here on out.
I know what you are saying, but I feel compelled to point out that there's no such thing as luck, curses, etc. The Cubs this year have as good as a chance as the Pirates to move on to the next round. If the Cubs proceed to the next round or not tomorrow, it will not be because of luck, but because one team outlasted the other. When/if the Cubs are lucky enough to make it to the league series, that's where they may find their biggest challenge. The Dodgers have a good, deep pitching staff.
debuting the new format 1 game "sudden death" WC matchup at yankee stadium does a perfect job of showing the intense emotion and drama this game can be.
that said, i'm ready to not see yankee stadium or hear fans at yankee stadium for another 5 and 1/2 months. at least i don't have to sit through the braves with their "tommy hawk chawp" this postseason.
i'd like to know why the mlb.tv internet radio feed of the game (which is always delayed by a few seconds at best) is almost a minute faster than the ESPN cable TV coverage. wtf?
i dont know what order they'll be in, but i pretty much expect fowler/schwarb/rizzo/bryant/montero/castro/lastella/arrieta. any change at all (aside from the first 4 guys) wouldn't shock me, though. coghlan is still a wildcard in the lineup equation...plus joe could always march d.ross out there with very slow arrieta pitching.
Yup. Have to agree. Baseball, like golf, certainly has that psych component for the player. There is no real reason why a fielding position should affect a batting average. The Cubs are 106 years over due for a little luck. Don't you guys think so? Maybe the rookies can bring some dumb luck on.
probably stacking capable lefties vs cole while keeping the "hot" castro in the game. fwiw, he's 1-6 lifetime with 0 bb/k vs cole (double).
i chalk bryant's issues at the plate while playing OF up to coincidence so far.
I will call your dead horse, "Trigger".
In one game, when anything is possble, I am glad that Joe Maddon is our Manager.
He knows the stats better than all of us. It would seem, IF La Stella gets the start at 3B, it will be only up to the point that they were to get the lead (crosses fingers). From everything I have read, the game will be managed like a hoops game: offense/defense. So expect La Stella to be out of the game by the 5th. This team is incredibly deep which is so surprising. We never woulda thunk it.
i don't know what their roster plans are, but j.herrera is out there practicing with the team.
i can't imagine him making any roster, though. dude had 4 PA the entire month of sept. him being a good dude to be around while keeping the clubhouse loose seems to be his main role at this point.
I know it's my own personal dead horse to beat --but Bryant has been a lousy hitter when playing the OF this year. Given that it's his first playoff game, I really hope they keep him in his natural position and don't mess with his routine.
Lousy as in 8-for-45 with one XBH and no HR. Small sample and all that -- but why take the chance?
hard to tell what's up given they'll probably want to stack as many good lefties into the lineup as possible.
castro being a bit hot doesn't help things. if he was still cool they'd probably stick la stella at 2nd and call it a day.
Madden won't announce lineups but Stella is practicing at 3rd and Bryant in LF today. I'd rather see Bryant at 3rd but I guess Stella has been hotter than Coghlan.
/edit. Though I guess they could be practicing this with the idea Stella would come in as a PH then double switch him to 3rd base and Bryant to LF. Hope that's the plan instead
I really like the sound of that idea about expanding the AFL to ten teams. Each org. gets to field more players.
They should do that anyway, regardless of Adv. Instructs.
Dallas Beeler, Corey Black, David Garner, Pierce Johnson, Steve Perakslis, James Pugliese, Duane Underwood Jr, and Rob Zastryzny threw early-morning bullpen side-sessions at Riverview yesterday.
Underwood threw last, and received specific one-on-one instruction from pitching coach Mike Mason.
HAGSAG: There are only five advanced instructs squads left, and presently the only "co-op" team operating is the Angels/Cubs.
The league was originally established as a "parallel" league to the AFL (a sort of "junior AFL"), for players too advanced for traditional ("basic") instructs but who were unable to get placed on AFL rosters due to AFL player-limits.
