ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) -- Ramon Ortiz hasn't won a game this season
in which he didn't give up a home run.
But since he's won more games than he's lost, the Anaheim Angels
are willing to ignore the right-hander's tendency for allowing the
long ball -- at least for the time being.
Ortiz, who has surrendered a major league-leading 18 homers,
gave up Alex Rodriguez's AL-leading 19th of the season with two
outs in the first and did not allow another hit until the seventh
as the Angels beat the Texas Rangers 5-2 Monday night.
``I don't really think the number of home runs a guy has given
up is an indication of performance,'' Angels manager Mike Scioscia
said. ``If the way he's going about trying to get hitters out leads
to home runs, then we can live with that -- because there are so
many more positives to Ramon's style.
``He's a guy who's aggressive and challenges hitters. I mean, if
you look at his ERA, how deep he's been pitching into games, and
the chances he's given us to win every time out, that's more
Ortiz (6-5) allowed two runs, four hits and four walks while
striking out five in beating the Rangers for the second time this
season and eighth time in nine career decisions.
Garret Anderson homered and Brad Fullmer had an RBI triple for
the Angels, who began a season-high 10-game homestand with their
26th victory in 34 games.
Ortiz threw a first-pitch fastball to Rodriguez that landed an
estimated 455 feet from home plate.
``He absolutely crushed it,'' Anaheim shortstop David Eckstein
said. ``It was one of the longest balls I've seen. But fortunately,
it only counts as one run. We can deal with that, because Ramon did
a great job after that.
``That's where he's showing his maturity. He's been bearing down
when he needs to and getting the key outs. The home runs off him
are coming in situations that don't affect the team.''
The Rangers didn't get another hit until Mike Lamb's leadoff
single in the seventh. Gabe Kapler singled one out later, and
rookie Jason Romano lined a two-out RBI single to center on Ortiz's
114th and final pitch, trimming Anaheim's lead to 4-2.
Darin Erstad greeted reliever Randy Flores with a run-scoring
single in the seventh after Eckstein chased Texas starter Rob Bell
(2-2) with a one-out double. The right-hander was charged with five
runs and six hits over 6 1-3 innings in his Edison Field debut.
Troy Percival followed Ben Weber and Al Levine out of the
bullpen and got three outs for his 10th save in 12 chances.
Rodriguez, whose 52 homers last season broke Hall of Famer Ernie
Banks' record for shortstops, has seven in his last 10 games and a
major league-leading 55 RBI.
``I don't even look at my numbers,'' Rodriguez said. ``It's very
frustrating when we lose. I'd give up all those numbers for a bunch
of wins. That's what I'm all about. It's very hurtful when you lose
-- but as one of the leaders of the team, you just have to continue
to work at it, continue to get better and keep striving for
The Rangers' 12th loss in 16 games dropped them a season-worst
12 1-2 games out of first place in the AL West.
``We just can't get on a roll, like seven, eight, nine games in
a row. We just have to keep working on it and work on the
fundamentals,'' Rodriguez said. ``Obviously, that's what Anaheim
and a lot of the other good teams are doing right now.''
Anderson, who sustained a gash on the ring finger of his right
hand Sunday when Minnesota shortstop Cristian Guzman accidentally
stepped on his hand, tied the game 1-all in the second with a
leadoff homer.
``He was a little tentative gripping the bat in batting
practice,'' Scioscia said. ``But he thought he was going to be able
to put the bat on the ball and take some good swings. He wanted to
play, and he had a pretty good night.''
Game notes
Rodriguez has four career homers against Ortiz and 28
against the Angels. ... RHP Steve Woodard, who was designated for
assignment by the Rangers on May 27, decided to become a free agent
instead of accepting a demotion to Triple-A Oklahoma. ... Rangers
LF Rusty Greer, who made two diving catches in Sunday's victory
against Kansas City, did not start because of a sore lower back,
but had a pinch-hit single with two outs in the ninth. ... Eckstein
started at SS for the first time since May 21, when he sprained his
left knee. He was the DH in two other games after the injury. ...
The Rangers have homered in 12 consecutive games, totaling 19. In
May of last season, they set a franchise record by homering in 18

OvisLink AirLive WMU-6500FS
- Network attached for shared storage; FTP, HTTP and BitTorrent clients built-in; wireless and LAN access; works as an access point too; supports IDe and SATA hard drives
- A bit fiddly when installing the hard drive, only supports Wi-Fi 802.11b/g but not 802.11a/n
Bottom Line
If you're a compulsive downloader, the need for an external storage solution is probably already there, so why not take the extra functionality and give your PC a break from those long, all-night downloading hauls. The AirLive WMU-6500FS is conceptually simple but makes a lot of sense and there's little to complain about.
Price$ 219.95 (AUD)

Some of us can't function in the morning without a coffee while some of us find ourselves standing out the front of the office having a cigarette every five minutes. Some of us, on the other hand, find ourselves one week into our broadband pay period shaped and unable to surf the Web. This is the worst addiction of all -- the chronic downloader.
For such an addict there is only one external enclosure to get, the AirLive WMU-6500FS, an external, network attached storage (NAS) drive enclosure, which also functions as an access point (802.11b/g) and an FTP, HTTP and BitTorrent client that works independent of your PC, allowing you to turn off the computer and continue downloading. This will save electricity, but it may help you sleep better, too, without the humming and heat of your PC all night.
The enclosure is designed for both IDE and SATA 3.5in drives but it doesn't include a hard drive, so you'll need to factor that into the cost. Fitting a hard drive into the enclosure is fairly simple in theory, but a little fiddly in reality. Although we have to commend the AirLive for supporting both IDE and SATA drives, the double-up of internal cables makes it harder to get a drive screwed-in and the enclosure shut. Fortunately once that's done it's done.
Setting up the AirLive is fairly easy. Once the drive is installed and you've connected it to a PC or router you can either install the bundled software, which is light and simple to use, or you can use the Web-based setup screen. We had mixed success accessing the Web-IP of the AirLive but the software is just as easy to use, if not more so.
If a DHCP server is present the IP address will be dealt with automatically, otherwise you can set it manually as needed. You can set the wireless up as an access point, as a client (connecting to an existing wireless network), or daisy-chain it with other access points. Configuring the hard drive is just as easy. An fdisk utility is present in the software, allowing you to partition your disk into multiple drives if necessary and access rights for sharing data can be allocated as guest or as authorised only. Guest simply allows anyone access while authorisation mode means only authorised users can access the data on the drive.
Downloading FTP, HTTP or BitTorrent files is extremely straightforward. For FTP and HTTP you simply paste the link into the appropriate field in the AirLive software, and off it goes. Torrents work much the same way it would with any other software client. Simply find the torrent file you wish to download and upload it to the AirLive software. The AirLive will take it from there. Any files in the jobs list (such as those you're downloading) will also be available to upload. You can allocate the amount of bandwidth for uploads and downloads (you can set it to zero if you want to stop activity), but the AirLive will continue on whether you're paying attention or not, so don't forget what's in the job list or you may find yourself shaped faster than ever.
There are two USB ports on the drive, which will recognise UPnP devices like some MP3 players or media card readers, allowing you to share them also. There is even an iTunes server. A backup button on the front of the device copies data from a USB drive directly to the hard drive, though it won't do the reverse at the touch of a button, you'll have to back this drive up manually.

My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

L.A. Noire - so big it takes three discs
Wanna know just how big L.A. Noire is? Three disc fulls that's how big.
The confession that the game will be spread over three separate discs came from Rockstar's Jeronimo Barrera in an interview with Kotaku.
"L.A. Noire was always going to be a massive game, from the size and detail of the world to the length of the cases, and of course, the sheer amount of MotionScan data required for the faces of over 400 actors in-game," said Barrera.
"To tell the story and make the game we wanted to make, we knew that it was going to take an entire single layer Blu-ray disc and three Xbox discs."
PS3 fans, therefore, will be able to play the game without chopping an changing - a luxury not afforded to their DVD dwelling Xbox 360 pals.
Barrera says that this won't be a problem though, due to the way the game's narrative pans out.
"Since the game is built around the concept of progressing through individual cases from desk to desk, players on Xbox will find disc-swapping is hassle-free," he stressed.
"In fact, players will only need to swap discs twice at natural breaks between cases without interrupting the flow of the game."
After the huge Rockstar success stories GTA and Red Dead Redemption, the anticipation for L.A. Noire is huge.
It hits UK shops 20 May. We can't wait.

I was looking for the .NET implementation of Atan2 in a reflector and found the following line:
public static extern double Atan2(double y, double x);
That is not surprising since it makes sense for most arithmetic functions to be implemented in native code. However, there was no DllImport call associated with this or other functions in System.Math.
The core question is about how the function implemented in native code but I would also like to know which native Dll it resides in. Also, why is there no DllImport? Is that because compilation strips it away?

With the proliferation of harmful Internet content such as pornography, violence, and hate messages, effective content-filtering systems are essential. Many Web-filtering systems are commercially available, and potential users can download trial versions from the Internet. However, the techniques these systems use are insufficiently accurate and do not adapt well to the ever-changing Web. To solve this problem, we propose using artificial neural networks to classify Web pages during content filtering. We focus on blocking pornography because it is among the most prolific and harmful Web content. However, our general framework is adaptable for filtering other objectionable Web material.

Product Description
Quill & Quire
John Vaillant is a literary shaman. The mixture of fact, conjecture, and superstition he concocted for 2005's The Golden Spruce was pure magic and earned him the Governor General's Literary Award for Non-fiction. That same magic pervades the Vancouver author's new book. Like the previous work, The Tiger involves a mystical encounter between man and the natural world. Set in southeastern Siberia, the story pits a group of men against an astoundingly vengeful, cunning carnivore.
The Tiger reads like a chilling detective novel constantly flirting with the supernatural. The action unfolds over a few days in December 1997 but could just as easily be a spooky folk tale told around a campfire.
The remains of experienced outdoorsman and hunter Vladimir Markov are found near his shack in the Siberian wilderness. It is evident he has been eaten by a tiger. But tigers tend to kill people only when provoked: what had Markov done to enrage the beast? And why is the tiger continuing to attack other humans in the area? Officers from a state wildlife organization investigate the mystery, trying to track down the animal and calm the fears of superstitious villagers. To do so, they use both modern science and ancient folklore.
The story of the hunt for the murderous tiger is frequently interrupted by page after page of background on Siberia, its declining animal population, and the unwritten laws of the forest. This flood of information is interesting, but detracts from the flow of an otherwise spellbinding narrative. As well, a very preachy epilogue seems redundant. We know by this point that the Siberian tiger population should be safeguarded and don't need this message hammered into our heads any further.
Despite its flaws, The Tiger is a feast of impressive research, cinematic prose, and chilling mysticism that will enthrall both hunters and tree-huggers. The shaman has worked his magic once again.
A Globe and Mail Best Book
"Remarkable. . . . A book that manages to be at once exciting, memorable — and perfectly, impeccably right. . . . Recounts with power and excitement the true story of a titanic confrontation. . . . [Vaillant] has told a tale of astonishing power and vigour."
— Simon Winchester in The Globe and Mail
"Suspenseful and majestically narrated. . . . Vaillant has written a mighty elegy that leads readers into the lair of the tiger and into the heart of the Kremlin."
— Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"A savage banquet. . . . Riveting."
— Annie Proulx in The Guardian
"A hair-raising tale. . . . Vaillant's portrayal of the tiger as a creature capable of revenge is both terrifying and fascinating. . . . It is ultimately Vaillant's superbly crafted story of a tiger and two men that keeps us glued to the page, from the introduction right through to the thrilling denouement."
— The Gazette
"A compelling tragedy. . . . [Vaillant] introduces the reader to a rich cast of real-life characters and provides elegant insights into our relationship with nature."
— Calgary Herald
"Riveting story. . . Vaillant's book teaches a lesson that humankind desperately needs to remember: When you murder a tiger, you not only kill a strong and beautiful beast, you extinguish a passionate soul."
— The Washington Post
"A truly extraordinary read: dark, thrilling and utterly compelling, which conveys the terrible might of nature like no other book I've come across."
— The Bookseller (UK)
"The Tiger is the sort of book I very much like and rarely find. . . . This is a book not only for adventure buffs, but for all of us interested in wildlife habitat preservation."
— Annie Proulx
"This elegant work of narrative non-fiction has it all - beauty, intrigue, a primeval locale, fully realized characters, and a conflict that speaks to the state of our world. Obsessively well-researched and artfully written, The Tiger takes us on a journey to the raw edge of civilization, to a world of vengeful cats and venal men, a world that, in Vaillant's brilliant telling, is simultaneously haunting and enchanting."
— Hampton Sides, author of Ghost Soldiers
"Magnificent, surely the best chronicle ever published of the wild Amur tigers in Russia's Far East. . . . To call this book a page-turner is an understatement. It's riveting."
— Elizabeth Marshall Thomas, author of The Hidden Life of Dogs
"This book must be read by everybody who is interested in the conservation of wildlife. It takes you to the Russian wilderness to meet face-to-face with the Siberian tiger."
— Temple Grandin, author of Animals in Translation and Animals Make Us Human
"The Tiger offers a richly textured, compelling story of Nature and Man at odds - and at risk - in Russia's Far East. Grounded in meticulous research and informed by extensive field work, the narrative graphically conveys the fragility of life in the unforgiving taiga, where a single misstep can turn hunter into quarry."
— John J. Stephan, author of The Russian Far East: A History
"Absolutely superb…"
— George Schaller, Wildlife Conservation Society senior conservationist; NBA winner The Serengeti Lion

The author keeps the true story intense, but departs from the main story a number of times for developing characters involved in it and in the process explains in detail the history, geography, economy, ecology, ethnicities and culture, predators and prey in the region, and of course the relationship between men and the beast. In fact, the authors goes into further details and educates the readers on different political eras of Russia, Sino-Soviet relations of the past and Sino-Russian relations as of now, animal behaviour, even predator ' prey relationships studied in Africa, anthropology, palaeontology, etc. and he does all of this so very beautifully never losing track of the original story of the man eating tiger. It is amazing to note how learned the author and how well researched this book is. The author brings the knowledge out from diversified subjects as they apply to this confrontation between men and tiger.
The book has many tragic events described graphically, but in the end it leaves hope in that the awareness is growing all over the world and that Amur Tigers may survive living in the wild.
I grew up reading very lively and graphic stories of man eating tigers of India written by Jim Corbett and many local Indian hunters. I remember many of those stories and am still able to recall hunters describing the man eating tiger's behaviour. This book either endorsed those viewpoints or expanded my knowledge on tiger behaviour especially after it becomes a man eater.

Kiri, I've never had to graft in this situation! But I do have my handy dandy "Principles of Knitting" book. Let's see what she says....
She doesn't talk about grafting cables, just ribbing. As I feared, you can't perfectly graft ribbing (or cables, I'd say), unless you're grafting the top of one piece to the bottom of another piece. You can try it with the top of two pieces, but it will be off by half a stitch where the knitting switches to purling and vice versa....
My first thought, and this could be TOTALLY wrong, but it might be worth trying, is to do regular kitchener stitch until you reach the purled area, then turn your work inside out, so that those purled stitches are now knit stitches facing out, and continue as normal! The only adaptations I foresee are these: That before you turn the work inside out, when the purl stitch is the second stitch you're working after a knit stitch, I'd think you'd want to go into that purl stitch in the opposite direction as you would a knit stitch? Not sure! But this is my guess. Then, when you've turned the work inside out, you'll have what was the back needle as the front needle, and you'll have just worked that needle. So continue the pattern by first working the back needle.
....Okay, my curiousity got the best of me, so I just tried this out with a sample cable. It looks good! I did it with a top piece grafted to an removable-cast-on bottom piece. It looks correct! (Woohoo! Yay for me! LOL.)
I'm not 100% sure about putting the needle in the opposite way when you come to a purl stitch. It seems to have worked perfectly on one side of the cable, but not on the other side. I'm not sure why the rule worked in one place, but not in another! Maybe I messed it up. In any case, it's a minor flaw that's not noticable in this case; and if you're grafting top to top pieces, it won't be perfect anyway. .... Let me know how it turns out for you, and if you can confirm this rule or not!
BTW, a rule of thumb for estimating whether your on the right row of the cable before grafting, is this.... If you hold the two pieces that you're about to graft together, needle against needle, and the cables line up perfectly, you've probably knit one row too many. If you line them up and the cable looks a little short, that's a good thing. The grafting will be adding a row.
Hope that helps!

Here's an HTML/CSS issue I'm struggling with: I pretty much use <div> and <span> solely for style purposes. I may have some DIVs and SPANs in my markup, prior to worrying about style. By the time I've implemented my style, though, I have added many additional DIV and SPAN elements. They're there solely for the design.
For example, this design has five nested DIVs:http://muledesign.hoologic.com/hmm.html
Or, let's say you want to display a word, and have the font size of each successive letter to increase by one. You'd have a ton of nested SPANs that have nothing to do with the content.
Is this just the way things work? Do purists never add additional DIV or SPAN tags beyond what is needed to properly define the document's content?

My wife and I used AAA discount to get a basic room. Room was about 14 x 14 ft excluding the bathroom. I asked Andrea if we could upgrade, and for a minimal amounr we got a suite that was twice as big at least with a refrigerator, microwave, sink, couch and tv area. Well worth the minimal charge. Sink and counters were about 42 inches high, short people beware. Nice property and a good price.

The authors describe a model reference adaptive control system for speed control of the vector-controlled inverter induction motor drive without a speed sensor. The rotor speed is estimated with a full-order adaptive observer and is used as the feedback signal for the vector and speed controls. In order to estimate the speed accurately at low speeds, the motor stator resistance is also identified at the same time to correct the mismatched resistance value used in the observer. The resulting system is verified to be hyperstable. As a result, the drive can be operated in a wide range of speed, and especially, it can be operated stably at the state of zero speed. Experiments also show that the scheme is effective

"not that funny"
i like patton, he's a funny dude.but this book is not funny and jumps all over the place. maybe i just was in the wrong mood, but i just didnt get much enjoyment out of it
"Great story"
I love Patton Oswalt and how dark he is. Although he can get a little pompous sometimes I feel like I can empathize with him.
I love and recommend "Silver Screen Fiend", so this was a big let down. Two pretty good stories (a star for each one) packed with a lot of filler.
"One of my favorite comedians."
Probably not. It seems like there was some info that may not have been added to the audio version. The audio version is a bit choppy in subject matters sometimes.
His long walk back to the hotel. It seemed like a scary situation.
No. Just his comedy.
"Happy and short listen."
The story became a bit confusing sometimes and hard to follow. Besides that I enjoyed Oswalt's odd humor and explanation of the title.
It appeared as a long, almost stand-up version of Patton's youth. There were a lot of great references and good banter on Patton's part. Definitely enjoyable.
"Love everything by Patton oswalt"
I have listened to this three times now and its great every time. I love his stand up, his pose, and the articles he's written. If you enjoyed this I highly recommend checking out Silver Screen Fiend.
"How can you not love Patton?!?"
He's just a hilarious genius and that is all I can say! I need fifteen words, which I exceeded by six.
"Can't listen to narrator"
maybe but probably not
Drifted from normal speech to quiet kindergarten inaudible. What did he say? Audible book with footnotes is distracting and indicate an unplanned writing.
Absolutely not
What was I thinking when I bought it?

A rapid increase in the amount of image data and the inefficiency of traditional text-based image retrieval systems have served to make content-based image retrieval an active research field. It is crucial to effectively discover users' concept patterns through an acquired understanding of the subjective role played by humans in the retrieval process for such systems. A learning and retrieval framework is used to achieve this. It seamlessly incorporates multiple instance learning for relevant feedback to discover users concept patterns-especially in the region of greatest user interest. It also maps the local feature vector of that region to the high-level concept pattern. This underlying mapping can be progressively discovered through feedback and learning. The user guides the retrieval systems learning process using his/her focus of attention. Retrieval performance is tested to establish the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed learning and retrieval framework

Final Stats | Photo Gallery | Postgame Reaction and Highlights
HOUSTON, Texas – It took most of a half for the Owls to shake off the rust from a 12-day break for final exams, but Rice University men's basketball regrouped to come back and claim a 69-56 win over visiting Northwood in front 4,924 fans at Tudor Fieldhouse on Thursday.
Rice shot just 29.9 percent on the day and even lower in the opening 20 minutes as Northwood (2-5) worked up to a 10-point advantage. A 14-0 run beginning just before the first-half buzzer marked the decisive turning point in the game and put the Owls ahead for good.
Rice (5-5) worked up to a 16-point lead before the midway point in the second half and never let the Knights any closer than eight points down the stretch.
Austin Ramljak sank all four of his three-pointers in the second half as he led the Owls with 14 points on the afternoon. He added three rebounds, two steals and an assist in 30 minutes.
Keith Washington returned to the starting lineup and tallied double-figure points for the fifth game in a row as he matched Ramljak's 14. The sophomore shot 4-of-12 from the field with 5-of-7 free throws and four of the Owls' 14 assists. He hauled in four rebounds as well.
The Owls scored 18 points in the paint, paced by 11 points from Sean Obi and a season-high 10 from Andrew Drone. Obi notched his second-straight double-double with 11 rebounds as well. He did most of his damage at the foul line, where he sank 7-of-10 free throws, and added two steals and a block.
Drone knocked down each of his first four shots and made both of his free throws to accompany three rebounds in just 12 minutes off the bench.
The Owls hauled in a season-high 52 rebounds, including 15 on the offensive end that turned into seven second-chance points. Max Guercy continued his strong rebounding with eight boards to accompany nine points.
Northwood shot 31.7 percent from the field, led by 16 points from B.J. Dale. Jerrick Massernburge added 10 points of his own for the visitors. The Knights grabbed 38 rebounds but swatted seven blocks in the game.
Rice returns to action on Saturday with a 3:30 p.m. meeting with Houston at the Toyota Center. The game is the first half of a double-header in the Dickies Shootout, as Oklahoma and Texas A&M play that evening.

Classic Interview Questions and Answers
Can you tell me about a major problem at work that you've had to deal with?
Alternative and related questions:
Can you tell me about a major project you were involved with that went wrong?
The meaning behind the question:
Problems are inevitable, no matter what your line of work. The interviewer isn't particularly interested in the problem per se. What they're interested in his how you dealt with it – what action you took and what the outcome of that action was.
Employers don't want problems; they want solutions – and they rely on their staff to deliver those solutions. The interviewer wants to make sure that you're just the sort of employee who would be able to do that.
Your answer:
This isn't the same question as Question 11, "What's the worst mistake you've made at work and how did you deal with it?" so make sure you don't give the same answer! It would definitely be a blunder to pick an example of a problem which you yourself had caused – or indeed which was caused by a colleague of yours.
You should also avoid picking a problem where a colleague or a member of your staff were themselves the problem. Try to choose a simpler and less controversial topic. The best examples to pick are those where the problem was caused by circumstances beyond your organization's control.
Since they're referring to a problem in the past, it's important for you to choose an example which not only highlights your problem-solving capabilities but shows them to be relevant to the job for which you are now applying.
The weather caused us major problems just a couple of months ago. There was very heavy overnight snowfall and, with all the buses cancelled and only a few trains running, only a few members of our admin team managed to get into work. There was nothing for it but to fire-fight – we didn't have enough staff to get everything done that would normally need to be done. I established what our main priorities were – what activities were most essential to the running of our department – and made sure that we had those covered. I identified less important tasks that we could postpone for a few days until we had the full team back. I also spoke to all the missing team members to see if there were any other urgent priorities of which we, in the office, were unaware. We worked hard and fast – right through lunch – and, despite feeling that the phone was always ringing, we managed to keep everything running smoothly until things were back to normal.

WASHINGTON, DC—KLNB Retail has launched a Single Tenant Net Lease Group, which will be managed by industry veterans Peter Snell, who has been named director, and Rich Sillery, who will be an investment associate. The group, which is national in scope, is launching with an approximate $100-million pipeline, Snell tells GlobeSt.com.
The group is handling a wide array of assets from drugstores to fast food restaurants to bank pads to gas stations to the ubiquitous Starbucks, Snell says. In fact, the group is closing a Starbucks deal on Wednesday in Oklahoma.
"Pricing is unreal now. This has always been a high-demand product because it is such a hands-free part of the real estate business you can't get anywhere else," Snell says. For this reason REITs have been snapping up net lease assets with particular urgency. The lack of development and available supply is what is sending pricing through the roof, he adds.
Where pricing reaches stratospheric levels, Snell continues, is the urban infill properties, such as the Starbucks at Dupont Circle in Washington, DC, which recently traded for $1,672 per square foot, or $16.2 million, in a deal brokered by Calkain.
Snell says the group plans to hire a third broker in the coming months.
Snell has formerly worked in the investment sales unit of Marcus & Millichap, and also founded a single tenant net lease team while working with The Greysteel Co. Sillery also worked at Marcus & Millichap and Greysteel.

I have an ASP.NET MVC 4 application targeting .NET 4.5. One of our child actions makes a call out to a web service using HttpClient.
Since we're blocking on IO waiting for the HttpClient response, it makes a great deal of sense to convert the code to the async/await pattern. However, when MVC 4 attempts to execute the child action, we get the following error message:
HttpServerUtility.Execute blocked while waiting for an asynchronous operation to complete.
At first glance, it appears as though MVC 4 does not support async/await within a child action. The only remaining option is to run using synchronous code and force a "Wait" on the async task.
As we all know, touching .Result or .Wait() on an async task in an ASP.NET context will cause an immediate deadlock. My async logic is wrapped in a class library, so I can't use the "await blah.ConfigureAwait(false)" trick. Remember, tagging "async" on the child action and using await causes an error, and that prevents me from configuring the await.
I'm painted into a corner at this point. Is there any way to consume async methods in an MVC 4 child action? Seems like a flat out bug with no workarounds.
