Didsbury created the surprise of the day in the ECB Premier League when, having gone without a win for two months, they beat Hyde at Wilmslow Road to give themselves new hope of rising out of the relegation places.
So far ignored by the Cheshire selectors, Simon Normanton was the match-winner shining with bat and ball.
He top scored with 60 in Didsbury's decent tally of 213, aided by Dinindu Jayathillake, 58 and Jonny Fawcett, 46, Hyde's best bowlers being Tom Young with a quality 3-36 aided by Dan Cranmer, 4-93.
Hyde's usually strong batting let them down and they closed at 177, their lowest all out tally of the summer, James Duffy making 50, Chris Tipper 43. Off spinner Normantona again did well with 4-56, while Jibram Khan took 3-15.
Bowdon lost by five wickets at Toft and lie an uneasy 17 points ahead of Didsbury. They might have expected to do better than post 220 for nine after being 183 for five when Simon Marshall was out for a classy 90. Only Matt Tully, 35 of the later batsmen looked the part.
Toft's Mr. Reliable Jimmy Lomas again bowled through with figures of 28-3-95-6. Toft opened with a 119-run partnership between Aussie Jake Hancock, 61 and Lancashire academician James Drummond, 58, but when both were out they struggled against a battery of spinners.
Then Henry Hughes had to go off with a leg problem and he was replaced by Adam Green and the game turned. Green hit out for a lusty unbeaten 37 and in the company of his skipper Toby Drummond, he led his side to their sixth win by five wickets and three overs to spare.
Chester Boughton Hall retained their nine points lead over Neston on a day when the top three all won comfortably.
Chester had veteran Alex Kegg back opening the bowling against Alderley Edge at Filkins Lane, but it was leg-spinner Jack Williams (5-56) who did the main damage in dismissing the visitors for 177, Charlie Reid 54.
CBH replied with 181 for four, Warren Goodwin making 79 and Lee Dixon 59. Both received awards at the club's Summer Ball later that evening.
Neston were back to form and comfortable four wickets winners against Marple at Parkgate. A delightful innings of 99 by former Cheshire skipper Andrew Hall (he was lbw to Andy Clarke) helped Marple total 230 for nine, Paul Stimson producing a stoic 4-103 from 22 overs on a very hot day.
Neston responded with 233 for six, Luke Camden, scoring 78 and Clarke, 41 enjoying a key partnership of 94. Andy Greasley took 3-67.
Grappenhall's Brisbane-based all-rounder Josh McClelland was the star of their comfortable 126 runs home win over an Oxton side which has gone off the boil.
McClelland top-scored with 77 in Grappers' 243 for eight then took 6-34 off just nine overs with Martyn Evans chipping in with 3-74,as Oxton were bundled out for 117, Marc Debrabender contributing 42.
Macclesfield remained the only team in the league without a win after losing by eight wickets at home to Nantwich.
Rob Porter, 45, top scored in Macc's modest 149, seam duo Ollie Griffiths taking 5-21 and Jimmy Warrington, 5-64. Jonny Kettle, 55 not out and Liam Livingstone, 48 then saw Nantwich through to 150 for two in just 29 overs.

Just installed I-Lo a few days back to one of my servers (Proliant DL380 G7).
Lights-Out Online Configuration Utility picked up a DHCP based IP address and I changed it to static.
Lights-Out said it would have to reset a couple of things and may become non-responsive for a couple minutes. I waited but it popped up an error that said:
"error encountered in execution of HPoncfg. Please check the log at program files\hp\hponcfg\ _current_date_time_.txt"
When I go the log I see no data usually. Sometimes I will see a bit of header data where it spells out remote online config utility version and then a line of ======'s for spacing. But that's all that is there.
I never set up a user in lights-out before I hit restart. I have a feeling I somehow locked myself out in doing so. The first couple of launches of the program before I set it from dhcp to static had no issues. As soon as I made the change the error started happening.
Is there anything I can do to reset this or am I going to have to reinstall lights-out? The "reset" options from within Lights-Out both cause an error when I try to run them.

I saw a used LED Monitor for sale and they said that they performed a "24 hours burn in test." What does that mean, or more specifically what does it mean that a monitor passed this test? I Googled it and found some software and different discussions about it but I'm still not sure what to expect.
24 hours burn in test has no proper definition for monitors. It could pretty much refer to anything from using the monitor for 24 hours and verifying that it didn't die in the meantime to using a tool like CheckeMON and actually performing a number of tests (colors, convergence, interference, power supply, etc.).
Unless there's at least some information available (e.g., on the manufacturer's website), I suggest disregarding it as a marketing technique. Early failures are covered by the warranty anyway.
Generally a burn in test of any type means to subject the piece of equipment to either normal or abnormal conditions for an extended period of time, typically to prove the functionality of the device in question. I would expect a second hand monitor to be given a 24 hour test to prove that the power supply is not faulty or to detect dead pixels.
Similarly a CPU burn in test generally subjects the computer to heavy load for an extended period in order to prove that the system is stable and does not have overheating problems.
A burn-in test simply means that the acquired product have been tested by the manufacturer before it is package to the seller or the store:
On your specific case it means your monitor have been tested for 24 hours before it been packaged.

This may be pretty simple but it's stumping me. I'm trying to return a variable in javascript to another variable outside of the function's scope. For some reason, the assignment isn't occurring. Here's my code:
var time = Math.round(((new Date()).getTime())/1000);
// first call to get data
var power_now = get_data(<%= @user.id %>, time);
function get_data(user_id, timestamp){
var targetURL = "get/user_data?time_now="+timestamp+"&user_id="+user_id;
var power = 0;
$.get(targetURL, function(data){
power = data[0]['power'];
return power;
If I place alert(power) within the .get function, the value is correct; however if I place it outside of the .get function, the value is 0.
Maybe I'm missing something about scoping in javascript?


text: Rogers Communications Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player. Things are getting out of hand in shares of another foreign telco, Rogers Communications ( RCI). The $24 billion Canadian firm has had investors betting against it en masse, pushing its short interest ratio up to a staggering 51.1. At that level, it would take more than two months of nonstop buying for shorts to exit their bets given current volume levels. It also makes RCI the most-shorted foreign stock on our list today. Rogers is Canada's largest wireless provider, a title that means a lot in an industry in which customer stickiness is partly forced by medium-term contracts and its TV, Internet and landline package deals. The firm boasts the nation's most advanced network. As the first carrier to introduce 4G LTE to Canada, Rogers is able to court customers looking for higher connectivity speeds, even if that advantage comes at a hefty cost. What many investors don't seem to realize is that in many cases short squeezes aren't fundamentally driven; they're typically structurally driven. That means that it won't necessarily take some huge positive earnings surprise in RCI to balloon its share price. Instead, the supply and demand forces of the market can create a positive feedback loop that forces short sellers to run for the exits. Bear that in mind now that RCI's short ratio is sky high.

I'm setting up a WordPress multisite setup and was wanting to use the CDN Sync tool. From what I'm finding this plugin will work fine with a multisite setup, but it appears each site would have to go through and setup the settings for the plugin, and this plugin doesn't automatically account for the blogs.dir folder.
I have two questions.
1- Is there anyway that I can make all sites use the same settings by default? So all the sites are syncing to one location? How would that be setup?
2- Though looking at the plugin files I was looking at the sync.php file was hoping that I could add an plugin option for backing up the blogs.dir folder. How would I go about adding the blogs.dir folder to the auto sync?

By Yvonne Johnson, APG NewsJuly 5, 2013
ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md. - Aberdeen Proving Ground civilians and Soldiers enhanced the installation's reputation as a center of excellence in technical as well as non-technical arenas during the annual Excellence in Federal Career awards program held in Baltimore in May.
Hosted by the Baltimore Federal Executive Board (FEB), the annual event - held during national Public Service Recognition Week - highlights extraordinary contributions made by service members and government civilians during the past year. Supervisors from federal agencies around the region submit nominations weeks in advance and a Blue Ribbon Panel of judges determine if the nominees' actions warrant bronze, silver or gold awards.
Of 241 total nominations, APG civilians brought home 95 awards in 15 categories; 56 bronze, 31 silver and 8 gold. The awardees hailed from 14 different APG organizations.
Richard H. Howell, executive director of the Baltimore FEB hosted the event which featured music by the Baltimore Area U.S. Coast Guard color guard.
"The federal employees and military service members whom we honor today are indeed the best of the best," said Dr. Reginald F. Wells, FEB chair and deputy commissioner of Human Resources with the Social Security Administration in his welcome message. "We are proud of the extraordinary contributions of each one of our gold, silver and bronze award winners. They are the pride of their agencies, their communities and the nation, [and] we are truly honored to recognize their unique contributions."
For more information about the Baltimore Federal Executive Board Excellence in Federal Career Awards, visit the Baltimore FEB website at http://www.baltimorefeb.us/
Gold awardees from APG included Dr. Peter Emanuel, Edgewood Chemical Biological Center; Dawn K. Beeghley, U.S. Army Evaluation Command (Aberdeen Test Center); Molecular Pathology Team, U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Chemical Defense; Doris A. Lowe, U.S. Army Materiel Systems Analysis Activity; Jody B. Jackson, ATEC; Henderson E. Mitchell III, AMSAA; Jesse L. Meerdink, ATC; and Tamara C. Otto, MRICD.
Read their stories below.
2013 Excellence in Federal Career Gold Awards
Category 1A-Outstanding supervisor, GS-13 and above
Dr. Peter Emanuel, ECBC
Emanuel leads the biological research laboratories at ECBC in the areas of biological detection and decontamination. As BioSciences Division Chief, he is as equally concerned about the work environment as the research products they produce. Aimed to help fuel and promote a creative, happy and healthy work environment for his division, as a supervisor, he has conducted frequent climate surveys, implemented scientific journal clubs, community bulletin boards, fitness challenges, and an annual scientific colloquium called Coffee with Colleagues, which gives young researchers a first opportunity to present posters in a low stress setting. Emanuel's focus on innovation and invention has garnered numerous awards and his dedication to the mission, commitment to innovation and long history of technical contributions are a credit to the Department of Defense and serves as an example to those working alongside him protecting the nation through the application of science and engineering.
Emanuel said he was "truly honored to be recognized."
"The credit really goes to the talented group of scientists I work with every day, who help make my job that much easier," he said. "I knew when I returned from Washington D.C. to the labs at Edgewood it would be important to try new ways to motivate and lead that would resonate with the new workforce. To continue to be forward-thinking we must try new things and take risks, and our Technical Director, Joe Wienand, has nurtured an environment in which our staff is encouraged to be innovative.
"[This] is the kind of place where great ideas and exceptional work thrive and I think that is why you see such high-quality work coming out of ECBC. As I approach my twenty-year mark as a federal employee I'm also thankful for the opportunities to learn, create and mentor that I have been offered as a scientist for the Army. I'm so lucky to have a job that I truly love, and that I get to come to work every day with such talented individuals. I'm proud to be serving such an important mission."
Category 2B-Outstanding Professional (Administrative Management & Specialist)
Dawn K. Beeghley, ATC
As a budget analyst for ATEC's Aberdeen Test Center, Beeghley has demonstrated outstanding technical aptitude towards fiscal law, budget operations and procedures.
In April 2012, ATC implemented the Army's new financial system, General Funds Enterprise Business System (GFEBS). As the GFEBS lead for ATC, Beeghley had the primary responsibility to communicate, train and lead the entire organization during deployment activities.
This included but was not limited to: organizing and assigning roles to more than 600 contractor and civilian employees; leading efforts to track and monitor training efforts; communicating to personnel at directorate and command-level meetings; organizing teams to discuss and implement business process changes; providing support and organizing Test Officer hands-on training; implementing transition activities to move all activities from the legacy financial system to GFEBS; developing approval workflows for purchasing; trouble shooting system and training issues; developing job aides for the command; and all other aspects of implementing the new financial system.
Category 3C-Outstanding Para-professional (Non-supervisory) Administrative Management Analyst, GS-8 & above
Doris A. Lowe, AMSAA
As an AMSAA budget analyst, Lowe made significant technical contributions and achievements in budget and finance which supported numerous organizational challenges. Lowe is recognized for her sustained, exceptional performance as AMSAA's technical lead for the transition from the Legacy Standard Operation and Maintenance Army Research and Development System finance and accounting system to the Army's new General Fund enterprise Business System (GFEBS). Her outstanding technical leadership cut across the full breadth and depth of GFEBS to include: overall implementation and operating strategy; determination and tracking of GFEBS functional roles and training requirements; organizational financial/funds structure; Cost Center and Work Breakdown Structure setup; and extensive research to address numerous system errors since GFEBS was not optimized for financial operations within the Army's research and development community. Lowe kept AMSAA in the forefront of GFEBS fielding by asking questions, raising issues and solving problems; this led to better implementation for all R&D organizations. She is also recognized for her extensive contributions with numerous financial adjustments associated with AMSAA's realignment as a Separate Reporting Activity under the Army Materiel Command within the same timeframe. Lowe's efforts led the way for AMSAA's financial system transition and realignment action throughout 2012.
Lowe said she was "very surprised and honored to be chosen,"
"I think the best part is knowing that my superiors thought highly enough of my work and efforts to take the time out of their busy schedules to nominate me," she said. "So many times, we struggle through challenging times - and the GFEBS conversion was definitely one of those - and feel that our efforts [go] unnoticed.
"Even though I was the lead on the GFEBS conversion for AMSAA, I could not have accomplished the transition without the help of my coworkers. We workwell as a team and they deserve a lot of the credit."
Category 4B-Outstanding Administrative Work, Group or Team
Molecular Pathology Team, MRICD
The Molecular Pathology Team is a unique collaboration of scientists and technicians who are DA civilians and Soldiers. Through synergistic technical interactions, they have been able to make great strides in the characterization of nerve agent poisoning. These insights have resulted in multiple successful grant submissions and have begun to identify multiple therapeutic targets for pharmacological development. Further development may yield therapies to help protect Soldiers and civilians from the deleterious effects of nerve agents. The team has a strong commitment to mentoring and fostering future scientific leaders. With their diverse yet complimentary backgrounds, this group has taken a co-mentoring approach to broaden the educational experience and provide multi-disciplinary training for Soldiers, students and post-doctoral associates.
According to MRICD public affairs, Drs. Robert Kan, Heidi Hoard-Fruchey and Erik Johnson lead the Molecular Pathology Team. Team members include Catherine Braue, Cristin Rothwell, Thuy Dao, Sgt. Stacey Swayze, Specs. Wei Nie and Kevin Laitapaya; post-doctoral associate Dr. Echepchumba Yego; and Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE) interns Jessica Leuschner, Shane Kaski, Darryl Glotfelty, James Irwin, Chris Hofmann and Michelle Guignet.
The award recognizes the group's contributions and accomplishments in understanding nerve agent toxicity, pathology progression and potential treatment mechanisms, their mentorship of future scientific leaders and their community service.
On behalf of the team, Dr. Johnson stated that they were "honored to be recognized for our continued research efforts into nerve agent poisoning, therapeutic development and mentorship of our young scientists."
"None of this would have been possible without the ongoing support of our military leadership and scientific colleagues," he said. . We are especially grateful for our ORISE interns for their hard work and dedication to the mission. [They] help keep the Molecular Pathology team highly productive and innovative."
Category 8A-Volunteer Service, Individual
Henderson E. Mitchell III, AMSAA
An AMSAA electrical engineer, Mitchell has made significant contributions in community service. This includes [providing] mentoring, tutoring and life skills development through local partnerships established with Edgewood High School; the Omega Psi Phi organization; the Edgewood Windsor Valley Community Center; and the Maryland National Guard's Freestate ChalleNGe Academy. Mitchell has made outstanding contributions, not only in support of the AMSAA technical mission, but as a significant and vital contributor to organizational outreach efforts to the local minority community. These efforts include being a founding member of a number of outreach initiatives and providing the opportunity for minority Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) talent to join the organization. More importantly, he has directly mentored other minority youth to develop goals, define futures, and pursue careers that they would otherwise consider unattainable. By conservative estimates, Mitchell has influenced more than 600 youth during the past 20 years. His impact is evidenced by the large percentage of his mentees who remain in school and pursue follow-on higher education, technical training or entrepreneurial endeavors.
Mitchell said he learned early on about "the haves and the have nots" while growing up in rural North Carolina where neighbors always helped neighbors in need.
"We were simply doing what we felt our neighbors would do if the roles were reversed," he said. "The desire to help whomever with whatever talent I possess was instilled in me through my parents and my church and now that mindset consumes me.
"It would be blasphemy for me not to help those in need of help when I can be an asset. I feel my greatest asset lies in tutoring and mentoring and I know that math and growing up is hard to do. I'm not paying it forward and I don't [do it] to win awards."
Category 10B-Rookie Employee of the Year; Technical, Scientific & Program Support
Dr. Tamara C. Otto, MRICD

Category 6-Workforce Diversity/Equal Employment Opportunity Service
Jody B. Jackson, ATEC
Jackson's conscientious and timeless work ethic has earned him a reputation as someone who will always get the job done in an exemplary manner. He is a critical member of the ATEC commander's Directorate of Equal Opportunity (EEO) and Diversity programs. Jackson wears two hats: he is the EEO manager and the Sexual Harassment and Assault Response Program (SHARP) manager for ATEC. His outstanding performance, dedication to duty and aggressive can-do attitude has been very instrumental in contributing to ATEC's EEO Diversity office being recognized by Headquarters DA's Diversity & Leadership Offices and DOD's Equal Opportunity Office as a "Best Practice" office on numerous occasions.

Category 9- Distinguished Public Service Career
Jesse L. Meerdink, ATC
Meerdink retired from ATC in December 2012 after 32 years of service. He was an outstanding employee who distinguished himself through his exceptional work and commitment to the Warfighter during the testing of Army materiel and the design, construction and management of test facilities. Meerdink played a lead role in many first-ever test events for the Army. His career included the first tests to be conducted on Army vehicles that used anthropomorphic test dummies to help assess crew survivability. He was designated as the lead electronics technician responsible for the successful instrumentation thrust in support of Congressionally-mandated Bradley Live Fire testing, standing up a digital instrumentation capability at ATC and training a new team of technicians. He continued to support technology advancement by increasing data acquisition capability to 60 channels during the first-ever live missile shot into the M1 Abrams tank. His efforts helped to lay the foundation for the 400 data channel tests that routinely are conducted today at ATC. Additionally, he helped design and construct the AA5 Vulnerability Range and he was directly responsible for incorporating new instrumentation and data acquisition capabilities into the range. He also helped pioneer vehicle vulnerability instrumentation techniques; and aided in the design and construction of the AA5 Range and the Depleted Uranium Containment Facility known as "Superbox" where he served as the facility manager. The AA5 is recognized as DOD's premiere test site for vehicle vulnerability and survivability testing.

More Jerry Crasnick: Chats | Search | MLB index
Jerry Crasnick (12:01 PM)
Hey folks, My chat last week never materialized because of the death of Tony Gwynn. Obviously a sad week for MLB, and he'll be greatly missed moving forward. Let's start the chat.
Sam (San Diego)
Assuming the padres get a new GM soon would the GM make changes to the ailing lineup?
Jerry Crasnick (12:03 PM)
Sam, Omar Minaya, A.J. Hinch and the folks still there have seen this terrible offense in action, so I'm sure they'll be active in throwing out feelers. I assume Carlos Quentin and Chase Headley will be available, but I would expect the Padres to receive more interest in Ian Kennedy and maybe Huston Street.
Dale (SF)
A's are getting a fair amount of press these days but one pitcher that's flying under the radar is Drew Pomeranz who is pitching great since joining the starting rotation. Is he a legit #3 type starter?
Jerry Crasnick (12:05 PM)
Hey Dale, Drew Pomeranz punched a chair in frustration after his last outing, and he's on the DL. (This is an affliction also known as "Brad Penny-itis.") They're fortunate it was on his non-throwing hand. But it still wasn't a very bright thing to do. Pomeranz was a high No. 1 pick by Cleveland, so I think he has the ability to be a pretty good middle to back end of the rotation guy. But something always seems to be standing in his way.
Ed (Queens Village)
Padres fire Josh Byrnes. Is Bud Black next guy to get fired from Padres?
Jerry Crasnick (12:07 PM)
Ed, I think Bud Black is safe for the rest of this season. But if the offense continues to struggle, I wouldn't be surprised if hitting coach Phil Plantier winds up on the hot seat soon.
Mike Rizzo (DC)
We do not fear this team.... we feel we are better than this team.... we just don't plan on beating them much or any other good team really... is it true that we are about 10 games under .500 against any winning team this year and 10 games over .500 against the weak and hapless? And didn't we do this same thing last year? But you still think we're the greatest dynasty ever constructed in all of sports, right? #Hype-itude
Jerry Crasnick (12:08 PM)
Mike, I also find the Nationals baffling, but they did just win two straight from the Braves. I keep waiting for that team to go on a run, because the division is clearly theirs to lose.
Josh (Gboro,Nc)
Hey Do you think the Redsox will trade for an OF bat like Carlos Quentin or Matt Kemp?
Jerry Crasnick (12:11 PM)
Hey Josh, I checked this morning and Boston's left fielders rank 15th in the majors in OPS. The center fielders and right fielders are both 29th, so the Sox clearly could use an upgrade. But they were so relieved to get rid of the Gonzalez and Crawford salaries, I just don't see them picking up Kemp's money. He's also started hitting lately for the Dodgers, who are in "win now" mode this season. Quentin might be worth a flyer to a team as a change of scenery candidate, but he's been terrible this year in San Diego. He's also a frequent visitor to the DL. Is he really better than what they have now?
Tyler (Louisville, KY)
What is wrong with the Rockies?
Jerry Crasnick (12:11 PM)
Tyler, CarGo and Cuddyer got hurt, which didn't help, and their starting pitchers have an MLB worst 6.11 ERA in June. Tulo just doesn't get enough help.
William (Michigan) [via mobile]
Andrew Heaney. What will he do in his next 2 starts this week
Jerry Crasnick (12:13 PM)
William, I was impressed with what I saw from him in his first outing. He mixes his pitches and he's very unflappable. But given how closely the Marlins will watch his pitch count, I have a hard time seeing him going more than 5 or 6 innings. Next up for Heaney: The Phillies at CBP.
Andres (GA)
Not a question, just a small story. RIP Tony Gwynn. As a child, I grew up in Queens and used to frequent Shea Stadium a lot to see the Mets play and collect autographs. One time during batting practice, I was sitting in the seats above the visitors dugout when Tony Gwynn came walking towards us and to the dugout ... I asked him for his autograpgh on my baseball ... he looks at me and tells me he'll sign the sweetspot in exchange for the butterfinger candybar I had in my hand ... it made my day and was my favorite autograph story ever ... He was a really nice guy. Again, rest in peace, Tony Gwynn.
Jerry Crasnick (12:14 PM)
Thanks for the great story, Andres. It's amazing how many people have these kind of remembrances about Tony Gwynn.
Jordan (Illinois) [via mobile]
Latest cardinal trade rumors?
Jerry Crasnick (12:15 PM)
Jordan, I'm sure you'll start seeing some pitching rumors around the Redbirds with the injuries to Wacha and Garcia. But they do have Carlos Martinez to plug into the rotation, and Joe Kelly is on a rehab. I think John Mozeliak will try to wait to see how serious this Wacha injury is before he plunges in head-first in the quest for pitching. He does have some young outfield bats to trade, and that's a very scarce commodity that gives him some leverage.
Mark (Detroit)
Suarez - major development in Detroit. Our ML scouting reports and GM opinions on this guy starting to get a bit excited and positive about him? He wasn't listed on many best prospect reports coming into the season, but DD and the Tigers really liked him coming into the season
Jerry Crasnick (12:17 PM)
Hey Mark, Suarez has done a nice job for the Tigers. There were mixed reviews on him coming up, and some people thought he might wind up as a utility player. When it comes to kids, you always have to wait and see how they hold up a couple of times around the league -- and how they withstand the rigors of August and September. It's a real grind for a young player who hasn't been through it before.
David (Orlando)
Jerry any news on a A.Bradley promotion and thoughts on his MLB future? Thanks
Jerry Crasnick (12:19 PM)
David, Archie Bradley just returned from an elbow injury and is rehabbing in the Arizona Rookie League. If he pitches well, he could be up sometime after the All-Star break.
Colin(SF) [via mobile]
What are the giants most likely to do at the trade deadline?
Jerry Crasnick (12:22 PM)
Colin, There are a lot of mixed vibes with that team, but I do know from watching Brian Sabean that he'll be aggressive. He feels a great allegiance to the fans out there, and he's not scared to trade prospects. I wouldn't be surprised at all if he makes inquiries on guys like Price and Samardzija. There are very few bats out there, so most contenders will be focused on pitching.
Matt (Steinway)
I'm struggling to think of a worse offseason signing than Chris Young (the outfielder - the pitcher has been great). I can't imagine any other team having given him the contract he got. What does this say about the Mets' decision making?
Jerry Crasnick (12:23 PM)
Matt, Chris Young has been bad, but a one-year, $7.25 million signing isn't the kind of deal that should kill your season. It speaks more of the Mets' payroll limitations and the problems they continue to have under the Wilpon ownership regime.
Tony (Cleveland) [via mobile]
Hey Jerry, any word on potential moves for the Indians?
Jerry Crasnick (12:25 PM)
Tony, I'd love to see a big right-handed bat in the middle of that order, but they don't have the kind of money to pursue a Matt Kemp (even if he were available). And as I mentioned earlier, how much of an upgrade is Carlos Quentin over what they have?
Jerry Crasnick (12:27 PM)
As a brief aside, guys like Price, Samardzija, Jason Hammels and Ian Kennedy have a chance to make an impact on a team's rotation. But I just don't see many hitters out there. I don't think the Phillies are trading Chase Utley, and they're only 5 games out in the division. The parity in MLB really puts a squeeze on the early trade talks.
Jack (NJ) [via mobile]
What potential moves could the Yankees make at the trade deadline? Cliff Lee?
Jerry Crasnick (12:27 PM)
Jack, Cliff Lee has been on the DL with an elbow injury, so it's tough to speculate on him until he's back in the rotation and pitching effectively.
Derek (work) [via mobile]
What yeas would be interested in Dom Brown as a lottery ticket change of. Scenery guy?
Jerry Crasnick (12:28 PM)
Derek, I do think Domonic Brown needs a change of scenery. But again, he's another lefthanded bat. I have to wrack my brain to find a decent RH bat who can have an impact on a pennant race.
John (Cleveland, OH)
As of Friday(after Gregory Palanco got a hit versus the cubs) he has hit in every game since his promotion. I know pitchers will figure him out eventually, but why have they not done so yet? It seems a little weird to me he has hit this many games straight since he got to the bigs without a pitcher or multiple pitchers leaving him hitless
Jerry Crasnick (12:30 PM)
Hey John, If Polanco has a major weakness that teams can exploit, rest assured they'll find it. You'd think it would happen more quickly now that teams have access to so much video and advance scouting insights. He'll cool off eventually and he'll have to figure some things out and adjust. All young hitters do.
Mitch (Michigan)
Jerry, I can't remember a Red Sox club that has played this inconsistent and poor at home. Why is the chemistry not there that they had last year?
Jerry Crasnick (12:32 PM)
Mitch, Their biggest issue seems to be the lack of a consistent offense, especially with all their outfield issues. When teams don't hit, they tend to look lifeless. I also think it can be tough to recapture the Boston Strong, team harmony type thing they had last year. The Red Sox had almost everything go right in 2013, and they're having to fight through some adversity this year.
Chris (Houston)
Are the Giants going to make any moves? I've heard Price and Samardjza rumors but a 2B (Utley) or a SS (Zobrist) makes more sense to me.
Jerry Crasnick (12:34 PM)
Chris, Chase Utley would be a wonderful fit on that team, but I don't think the Phillies are moving them. And as my colleague Jayson Stark pointed out last week, Zobrist is such a great fit with that Tampa team, it would take a lot for Andrew Friedman to move him.
Sean (seattle) [via mobile]
Do you think the mariners will make a move before the deadline?
Jerry Crasnick (12:36 PM)
Sean, Corey Hart is getting close to a return, so I think Jack Z would want to see how that goes before he starts thinking trade. With Hart and LoMo in the lineup, the Mariners will have a couple of veterans to complement Cano and have some stability. Throw in Kyle Seager and Brad Miller starting to warm up, and the lineup starts to look better. They're also first in the majors in team ERA in June.
James (NY) [via mobile]
Who could the Yankees possibly target at the trade deadline?
Jerry Crasnick (12:37 PM)
James, I would have to think Brian Cashman is looking at the starting pitching market, but it might be more a middle or back end of the rotation innings eater-stabilizer than a big gun. Sabathia will be back at some point, and they're still paying him a lot of $$.
John (KC)
You you think The Royals end up as buyers or sellers?
Jerry Crasnick (12:39 PM)
John, There's no way Dayton Moore sells. The question is how aggressively he buys. And I'm honestly not sure what if anything he might be focusing on. The rotation is pretty solid, the bullpen is strong, they catch the ball, and they were hitting like crazy until Seattle came to town.
Kyle (Visalia)
Would Houston consider trading Kuechel for prospects or are those days done for the Astros?
Jerry Crasnick (12:39 PM)
Kyle, I haven't heard his name much. He's pretty good and he's affordable, so Jeff Luhnow is really not compelled to move him.
Shawn (Detroit)
What kind of talent do you think Cherrington is willing to give up to get an OF bat?? Webster, Renaudo, Workman, De LaRosa...
Jerry Crasnick (12:41 PM)
Shawn, As much as some Red Sox fans might not like to hear this, I don't think Ben Cherington is going to trade good, affordable young pitching unless it's for a young outfield bat that he can control for a while. Do you have anyone in mind?
Tommy K (Milwaukee)
Any possible moves at Trade deadline for the BREW CREW?
Jerry Crasnick (12:42 PM)
Tommy K, I don't see the Brewers in the middle of anything huge, but Doug Melvin has made some under-the-radar bullpen depth acquisitions through the years. I could see him going in that direction.
John Dallas [via mobile]
With the Orioles saying they can't re-sign some of their key players in the coming years where does that leave Nelson Cruz? Only on a 1 year deal could he be flipped after a great year so far?
Jerry Crasnick (12:43 PM)
John, They're still in the race, he's probably a starting outfielder in the All-Star Game, and they're paying him next to nothing for what he's giving them. Trading Cruz would be like giving up on the season. I don't see any point in that.
Tim (AZ)
Upton brother to Boston. What do the Braves get in return?
Jerry Crasnick (12:44 PM)
Not happening, Tim.
Mike (Mission Viejo, CA)
The Dodgers are playing great lately and are getting healthy. Am I crazy for they are still the team to beat in the NL?
Jerry Crasnick (12:44 PM)
Mike, I don't know if they're the team to beat, but any team that can run out that kind of starting pitching night after night is capable of going on a long run. I keep waiting for it to happen with the Dodgers.
Jack (NJ) [via mobile]
What kind of bullpen help do you see the Tigers picking up, and what do you think they would have to give up for a quality arm?
Jerry Crasnick (12:46 PM)
Jack, They still have Joel Hanrahan rehabbing in the minors, so I think he was the equivalent of a July deadline acquisition. Dave Dombrowski did it early enough to see if it would work out. Only if Hanrahan can't pitch this season would I see the Tigers jumping back into the late-relief market. (Of course, a lot depends on Joe Nathan, who's showing signs of figuring it out).
Rick (Virginia Piedmont)
Jerry, J.D. Martinez is getting the job done in the 5 spot in the Tiger's line-up. With Hunter, Ajax, Davis and Dirks heading back, how to juggle the outfield?
Jerry Crasnick (12:47 PM)
Hey Rick, I'd file that under "a nice problem to have."
Aaron (NYC)
What will the Dodgers OF look like once Crawford comes back, and who do you think will be starting come Sept? Any chance Pederson comes up?
Jerry Crasnick (12:49 PM)
Aaron, Kemp is certainly playing as if he wants consistent ABs in left field. And we know Puig isn't taking a seat. So that doesn't leave Mattingly with many ABs to play with. People keep asking about Joc Peterson, but the Dodgers already have too many outfielders. So where would he fit?
Shawn (Detroit)
Maybe Alex Rios?? definitely don't want Kemp..
Jerry Crasnick (12:51 PM)
Shawn, I spoke to Jon Daniels last week and he was in a state of limbo. Obviously the results of the weekend series with the Angels could help nudge him to "sell" mode. Rios has been one of their few consistent producers so far. But if they fall completely out of it, I would have to think he'll listen.
Zac [via mobile]
Any interest in Price by the Atlanta Braves?
Jerry Crasnick (12:51 PM)
Zac, I think they're tapped out financially. There are better fits for Price than Atlanta.
Jack (White Plains)
Jerry, please talk about Pearce. He has been a force for the Orioles and looks like he is starting to play everyday. What do you think about a top prospect from what...5 years ago?
Jerry Crasnick (12:53 PM)
Jack, Every time I watch him, he seems to get a couple of hits. Not an eye-catching guy, but a solid hitter who seems to be thriving in that No. 2 hole in Baltimore. To me, he's one of those guys like J.D. Martinez that you can file under "good scouting." It took him a while to figure it out, but the O's saw something in him that other teams didn't.
Jimmy (PA) [via mobile]
Phillies at the deadline- buyers or sellers? Who would be on the move if they are sellers?
Jerry Crasnick (12:55 PM)
Jimmy, I think they selectively sell. To me, that means Rollins, Papelbon and maybe AJ Burnett. They're too emotionally tied to Utley to move him, and I doubt they'll be aggressive enough to trade Utley. Lee is hurt, and Howard's contract makes him untradeable. Keep in mind that the Phils are also five games out in the NL East. They still don't consider themselves out of it.
Mike (SF)
Is Joe Panik the answer for the Giants at 2b?
Jerry Crasnick (12:57 PM)
Mike, Glad you mentioned him. He hit in the minors, and he seems like a kid who's mature enough to handle the pressure. He was also their No. 1 draft pick in 2011, so they might as well see what they've got now that they have an opening.
Mark (Toronto)
With Lawrie's fractured finger the Jays can't keep the mix and match infield going can they? Lawrie was their best defender and decent with the bat, any potential solutions?
Jerry Crasnick (12:59 PM)
Mark, It's probably no surprise that Brett Lawrie is hurt. He wasn't hitting that much, but he does give them energy, defense and some pop. Alex Anthopoulos suddenly has a few holes to plug, and this is the latest. I will say that I saw Juan Francisco play third a couple of weeks ago in Baltimore, and he had a very bad time of it defensively.
Gary (Chicago)
If you need a big bat, why not Adam Dunn? Last year of his deal and is hitting very well this year.
Jerry Crasnick (1:01 PM)
Gary, He has 83 strikeouts this year, so if you're a contender with a lot of swing-and-missers, he's probably not your guy. I don't think Rick Hahn is in big "sell" mode yet, but that weekend series with the Twins certainly didn't help.
Rob K (Victoria, BC)
With the injuries to Bautista and Lawrie, and the regression of the Jays pitching -- what do the Jays need to do to keep in the race?
Jerry Crasnick (1:02 PM)
Rob K, To me, they're a team that really needs a front of the rotation power arm. Let's wait and see how serious the Bautista injury is. The Blue Jays are a prime example of how fluid things can be for teams in a race. They looked great a couple of weeks ago, and they barely look like the same team now.
Carlos (Cali) [via mobile]
We're all aware of the crowded outfield that the Dodgers currently have. What are the chances of them moving Andre Ethier to a team like Tampa for Price?
Jerry Crasnick (1:04 PM)
Carlos, Andrew Friedman is going to be looking for 3-4 young, affordable players that they can plug into that roster -- not a veteran who's making $17 million a year. So Ethier makes no sense for the Rays.
Abe (Setauket)
Who's the best long term answer at SS for the Mariners? Miller, Franklin, Taylor, Marte?
Jerry Crasnick (1:05 PM)
Abe, Most scouts and talent evaluators I talk to think that Brad Miller is going to be a good player. He had a terrible April and May but is starting to come out of it. So I'd put my money on him.
Jerry Crasnick (1:05 PM)
Thanks for the questions, everybody. Sorry I couldn't get to more. Let's do it again next week.

1998 Honda Accord EX V6 4dr Sedan
This car is great. It is the perfect size. Don't let it fool you because it is actually very roomy and has a large/tall trunk. Honda put a lot of thought into this car. Great first car. Safe also, I had a minor accident and it held up very well.
Gas mileage is good, 14 gallon tank usually around $45 to fill up and on the highway this thing sips gas.
I know these have tranny problems but mine was redone before I got it, also the paint seems to fade on these but get it repainted and youll have a beautiful car.
I bought this car with 36,000 miles on it 9 y/0. It now has 160,000. My car has all the upgrades, sunroof, leather, controls on steering wheel etc. Had to replace transmission 3 y/o for $2500 and just replaced the oil pan. Other than that no problems what so ever. It's fun to drive and love the way it looks. I have had no problems with my paint but it is white. Will keep it to pass on to my son.
Sunroof, looks, leather, stereo, power. Has V6 that kicks over my boyfriend's Mercedes Kompressor any day.
None. Am really happy with the car.
Has been a great car for us. I have heard about the transmission problems with these model years. Our car has 162K miles and no problems. Guess we are blessed. Car is fun to drive. Passing it down to my teen twins to drive. Only problems was an intake manifold clogging that causes the check engine light to come on. It was a hassle to get that light off. replaced belt tensioner and alternator. no other problems. tires are a bit expensive for this model. Electronically everything works great. car body dents easily though. Plan on driving it to 300k or more.
Sunroof, climate control (for a 1998 its great). sports car feel. easy to park. Gas mileage not as good as a 4 cylinder but I got 27 mpg on a long road trip driving 75 mph
Body dents easily. I guess they all do. This car had all the options at the time except heated seats and mirrors.
I bought my 1998 Accord EX V6 new. It is my third accord and I love Hondas. The car is now 11 years old and has 137K miles on it. It still drives like the day I bought it and almost looks it too. So with all that you'd think this is a great used car. NO NO NO. This generation Accord has been plagued with faulty transmissions. My first transmission failed at 69K miles and Honda claimed it was not part of the recall. I went to arbitration and got Honda to pay for half of the new transmission. Fast forward to June 2010 and 137K miles and the transmission fails AGAIN nearly 69K after the first. The dealer offered to pay 25% and I still paid $2500. Still did it as the car is otherwise terrific.
It's a Honda.
Hopefully the new (now my THIRD) transmission will be ok.
It's been a great car for us. Bought the car in 2000 with 24k miles. It has 153,000 now. V6 is fun to drive. Feels like a sports car. Only trouble is intake manifold clogging causing check engine light to keep coming on. There has been Honda service bulletins on this. Front tires seem to wear fast. Michelins are expensive to replace. Plan on keeping this car till it is to expensive to fix. I heard 1998-2002 Honda Accords had problems with their transmissions. We've had good luck here.
Climate control, leather, power sunroof, large trunk, AC and plenty of power with fast accelleration.
More comfortable seating. Car body dents real easy. Park your car away from others!!

text: I am rather satisfied about the gallery shortcodes like [gallery ids="237,238"] etc. What I noticed is (thanks to the wonderful what the file plugin) the images when clicking on them are shown in the single.php template. I would like to make some minor changes in this template but only if the template is called by the gallery. The changes should not affect single.php when it is used for ordinary posts etc. I have been looking if there was something available like single-sometag.php within the template hierarchy but couldn't find anything that would match my needs. It also could be helped if I could "tell" the gallery shortcode to use one of my custom templates rather than single.php . Thanks for any help

I have an Apache server that is serving a django application with mod_wsgi. I'm wondering if there is a simple way to throttle requests at the apache level based on the machine's load.
Ideally I want an apache module that if the load is below a certain figure, everything works OK. However if the load is above something, then X% of IP addresses will be served the static html page for Y minutes. Does that software exist?
We are looking for a "poor man's throttling system". Something quick and easy we can drop in. Throttling based on machine load is good because it means things will eventually return to normal.
Our web application does a lot of processing, so things that limit bandwidth aren't going to pick up on this, it's not bandwidth we want to 'throttle' but, requests. Ideally we'd want some existing requests (i.e. based on IP address) to be able to continue for a certain amount of time (so they can finish doing their stuff).

Perkins Coie's Myriad Roles Raise DNC Conflict Questions
Should a law firm represent both a political party and a candidate's campaign while that campaign is still competing for the party nomination? That was the situation with Perkins Coie, whose ties to various Democratic Party organs has raised the ire of supporters of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, as well as the skeptical eye of other political observers.

Sapiro and Zempel shine in Acacia's 'Heaven Sent'
As children sing Christmas carols in the gathering gloom, a man bends over his work desk, trying to ignore the sound. Asked by a neighbor for help, he first wants to ensure she can pay. Encouraged to come join his fellows, he grumpily refuses, preferring to count his safely stowed money.
I could be describing Dickens' "A Christmas Carol," but I'm actually recounting the first scene in playwright Rick Whelan's "Heaven Sent," which is receiving its Midwest premiere courtesy of www.acaciatheatre.com/">Acacia Theatre, under directors Elaine Wyler and Michael Landers. »Read Full Article

I have a touchscreen laptop running Windows 8, and when I bring the focus to an input field by tapping on it, the on-screen touch keyboard pops up. I find this really annoying.
After searching around, I found out that disabling the
Touch Keyboard and Handwriting panel service (in
services.msc) stops the keyboard from automatically popping up. The problem is, doing so disables the touch keyboard completely, so it doesn't even work when I click on the icon in the taskbar.
In short, I want to stop the touch keyboard from popping up when I tap in an input field, but I also want the keyboard to open when I click or tap on the icon in the taskbar so I can use the touch keyboard when I choose to.
To be specific, I actually want the icon on the taskbar, contrary to many other questions. I want to be able to use the keyboard when I click or tap on the icon, but I don't want it to automatically pop-up. The icon is already being shown in the taskbar, but nothing happens when I click or tap on it due to the service being disabled. Enabling the service makes the button work again, but then it pops up when I tap on a input field again
@DaveRook suggested I look in the Touch Keyboard options under Change PC Settings > General, but the options there seem to control typing on the keyboard, not when it is shown.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - A powerful storm began bringing heavy snow
and strong winds to Oklahoma and other parts of the southern Plains
on the first day of spring.
Forecasters expected blizzard conditions Saturday, with winds of
up to 40 mph that could create large snow drifts and make driving
This weekend's men's and women's NCAA tournament games in
Oklahoma City and Norman are expected to be played, as scheduled.
But officials say the storm could affect attendance.
The National Weather Service says snow will average 4 to 8
inches over much of northern, central and eastern Oklahoma, with up
to a foot in some areas northeast of Oklahoma City.
