Timberwolves rout Bucks in exhibition opener
It was strictly no contest in the Bucks' exhibition opener Monday night at the Bradley Center.
Rookie power forward Kevin Love dunked, Rashad McCants and Mike Miller knocked in three-pointers and the Minnesota Timberwolves routed the Bucks, 117-79, before an announced crowd of 9,873.
McCants led the Timberwolves with 22 points, and center Al Jefferson added 18 points and eight rebounds. Love, the former UCLA star and No. 5 overall pick obtained by Minnesota in a draft-day trade with the Memphis Grizzlies, finished with 13 points. Miller, the former Memphis guard, and second-year forward Corey Brewer each had 12.
Charlie Villanueva led the Bucks with 14 points on 6-of-12 shooting, and point guard Ramon Sessions added 11 points, six assists and two steals in a team-high 35 minutes. Rookie forward Luc Richard Mbah a Moute had 9 points, two assists and two rebounds in 26 minutes. Former Vanderbilt player Matt Freije hit 3 three-pointers and finished with 11 points.
The Bucks played without five regulars - Andrew Bogut, Luke Ridnour, Tyronn Lue, Charlie Bell and rookie Joe Alexander - due to injuries or illness. And starting forward Richard Jefferson played only 8 minutes and scored four points before being forced to depart with a strained left thigh.
"We found out 45 minutes before the game that Andrew couldn't go," Bucks coach Scott Skiles said. "We were missing in effect three starters, so the offense shouldn't have looked very good.
But our defensive breakdowns tell us, if we're smart, that our habits aren't where they need to be."
Skiles used every player on his bench and said before the game he was a bit concerned about the team playing four games in six days this week. The Bucks will be in Detroit on Wednesday before playing Dallas in La Crosse on Friday night and Detroit again on Saturday night in the annual MACC Fund Game at the Bradley Center.
Following Saturday's game, the Bucks will leave for a week-long trip to China. They will play the Golden State Warriors in a pair of exhibition games - on Oct. 15 in Guangzhou and Oct. 18 in Beijing. Both games will be televised on ESPN2, with the second game starting at 10:30 p.m. Oct. 17 Milwaukee time.
"You've got four games in six nights, and you combine that with a trip over to China for eight days," said Jefferson, who played for the first time in a Bucks uniform. "We're in a very unique situation, and we have a mental thing that we have to get through right now.
"Everyone's still positive. It's pre-season right now, no need to get too crazy."

Hi. I love Meteor Slideshow.
My problem is that I started with my first slideshow having 633x413 images, and then I later decided to add a slideshow with 920x413 images. I know that you must have your first show with the largest images, so I deleted my first slide show and removed the shortcode from the page where it was displayed. Then I changed the plugin settings to 920x413, and I created a new slide show for my 920x413 images. I added my 920x413 images to my new slideshow, but when I viewed the new page with the show, Meteor Slideshow was cropping my images to the old setting of 633x413. I then deleted everything and unistalled the plugin. But even after reinstalling your plugin and setting up a new slideshow with setting of 920x413, the images were still being cropped to 633x413.
What do I have to do?

Although I've been using pfSense now for some time and like it very much, I haven't been able to shake duplicate SA's. I've checked all the obvious stuff - making sure configurations match on both ends - and yet they persist. I've tried preferring older SA's, not preferring older SA's, turning on debug mode, etc - all in vain. Instead of toying around with the settings further, I would rather like to know what causes duplicate SA's so that I might have better insight into have to fix them.
Also, I would like to know if anyone has a fool-proof way to reset a particular IPSec SA (and corresponding SPD's) in pfSense. Just disabling/enabling the tunnel doesn't always work for me. I am using the latest version of pfSense on both ends (2.0.3)
Edit: Even though I'm asking this in the context of pfSense, I've observed this issue with Cisco ASA as well - even when one of the endpoints is a dynamic responder.

Cardinals (62-40) at Pirates (61-42) 7:05 PM–PNC Park, Pittsburgh MLB.com Gameday TV: ROOT Here we go. The five game mega-series between the Pirates and Cardinals. I can't remember the last time the Bucs played a five game series, and this one is probably bigger in length AND importance than any series in the history of PNC Park. The Bucs are 1.5 back of the Cards, who have played stellar baseball all season before getting swept in Atlanta this weekend. It's tough to objectively say the Pirates are the better team right now, but they are in a position to prove that they are and can make a move down the stretch with a ton of head-to-head matchups coming up. Even during last year's collapse, the Pirates played well against St. Louis and they went 3-2 against the Cards in April this season (Jonathan Sanchez and James McDonald pitched in the two losses), so there's no reason to think they can't match up with Mike Matheny's club. If this series ends up 3-2 either way, it won't change things very much. But a 4-1 or 5-0 swing either way would be enormous for the winning team. For the Pirates, it would vault them into first place and establish themselves as extremely legitimate division contenders. For the Cards, a big series win would distance themselves from the Bucs quite a bit and leave the Pirates hoping to hang on to a wild card. So, the stakes are pretty high this week – about as high as they could get in late July - and it's going to be an unbelievable weeknight atmosphere at PNC Park. Pregame news: This was actually yesterday's pregame news (barely), but Tony Sanchez has indeed joined the team. Sanchez replaced Travis Snider on the roster….he hit the DL with discomfort in his left big toe. Yeah, I don't know either. Michael McKenry has also been placed on the DL after his injury on Saturday, so Sanchez is now the backup catcher and should make his first career start at catcher in game two tomorrow. The Pirates called up Alex Presley to replace McKenry, and Presley is in the lineup tonight as the slumping Starling Marte gets a day off. I think everyone would've rather seen the red-hot Andrew Lambo, but Presley is a lefty and is already on the 40-man, I guess. Expect another move or two tomorrow, since teams can add a 26th man for doubleheaders. The Pirates will likely be adding a starting pitcher for the second game. Nothing significant on the trade front yet. The deadline is Wednesday at 4 PM. Maybe the first three games of this series could affect how the Bucs approach it… Tonight's starters… Jake Westbrook (7-4, 2.95) vs. Francisco Liriano (10-4, 2.23) Westbrook is a good pitcher, but for whatever reason the Pirates have owned him in the past. It would be great if he can help cure this slumping offense. Even when he is at his best, he won't strike out a bunch, which has to be good news for the whiff-happy Pirates. Liriano returned to his brilliant form in his last start – a great outing against Strasburg and the Nats. The Pirates will look for him to set the tone tonight against the powerful Cards offense. Luckily for Frankie, they might finally be slumping a bit – the Braves shut them down this weekend in Atlanta.

Released: Feb 01st, 1996
Running Time: 87
Director: Steve Johnson
Company: Close-Up Productions
Cast: Wolff, Randy Storm, Shawn Justin, Jesse Skyler, Erick Johansen, Eduardo (I)
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Gay and Bi
Close-Up is going to give the big companies a run for their money if they continue putting out quality product like this. Shawn's seduction of Wolff, the water bottle delivery man, is definitely thirst-quenching, particularly their 69-ing. Don't mistakenly put this in your fetish section with other Close-Ups. Although their boxes are usually nothing to write home about, word-of-mouth about Lost Loves should do.

Laptop screen doesn't work but works using external monitor
So here's the story:
A few days ago I was watching a video and the AC plug was loose so it wasn't charging my laptop. I guess it used up all the power from the battery so it completely shut down. Now this isn't the first time this has happened but I ussually just plug the AC adapter back in and reboot my comp and everything goes back to normal. However, this time the screen doesn't come back on.
I plugged it into an external monitor with a VGA and the picture is there. Does anyone know what might be causing this? I don't think the laptop screen is dead because after I plugged in the external monitor, I went to the Nvidia Control Panel and duplicated my screen on the laptop screen. When I do this the backlight comes on on my laptop screen, however there is still no picture.
Re: Laptop screen doesn't work but works using external monitor
Try doing a hard reset. Shut down the notebook, disconnect the AC adapter, take out the battery. Disconnect external device if connected to the notbeook. Then press and hold the power button on the notebook for 60 seconds. Once done reconnect the battery and ac adapter. Check whether it solves the problem or not.
If the issue remains, start the notebook connect the external monitor the notebook. Press the FN+F4 key till you get the display on the notebook screen only. Once it's done disconnect the monitor and restart the notebook and check.

I'm not entering this year as I don't believe I'm ready to tackle the Sierra Nevadas. Yet.
I am going to be in Sacramento area during the lottery weekend and hope to attend. I imagine its very exciting.
I will pay attention to the news of the rules changes for the lottery. My hope is that someday I can run WS. It would be nice if it did not take 5 years to get in.
What was the change to the entry standards that made it more accessible? What was the standard previously? I'm curious.
From the WS 2003 application:
Road Qualifying Times:
Age 50 miles 100 km 100 mi
39 and under 9:00 12:00 24:00
40-49 9:30 12:30 24:00
50 and up 10:00 13:00 24:00
One qualifying run at any of the above distances and times will qualify you for WS.
(1) If you are using a trail run as your qualifier, one hour can be added to these times.
(2) If you completed any official* 100-mile trail races in the previous year within the
maximum allowable time of that particular race, that race can be used as a qualifier.
(3) Three 50-mile runs completed within the cut-off times for those races, but not more
than 12 hours, and during the qualifying period, can also be used.
(4) See the entry form for additional details.
I agree with merigayle, the qualifications should be maybe back to what they used to be, or harder. Even though as I said before that I know people that do 50s to get a qualifying time, 11 hours for a trail 50 isnt really that hard to do for the average person. I think they could even take an hour off that. It might also up the percentage of finishers also.
As much as it would be to my benefit, I wouldn't support tightening the qualifying standards. It's my understanding that those standards are in place to weed out those who don't have a reasonable chance of finishing from entering. If there's a reasonable chance for someone to finish in 30 hours, I want them to be given that chance. The folks riding the cutoff wave are an inspiration.
If you start ratcheting down the qualifying standard where do you stop? I have no doubt that WS could fill with people likely to run under 27 hours (If not faster), so why not base the qualifying standard on the equivalent 50 mile time and get rid of the lottery?
I'll be entering States this week. Hopefully, I make it in, since I likely won't be able to take advantage of the two time loser rule for Western States 2009. I can't imagine that WS has any option but to eliminate the 2 time loser rule after this year's lottery. Fortunately, I have great plans if I don't make it in.
I can see the need to alter the 2 time loser rule... but I wonder if any considerations will be made for those who, after this years lottery, will become 2 time losers and in effect... be an auto entry upon qualification for 2009...
I personally think some kind of "grandfathering" needs to be done. For instance.. all those who applied for this years lottery and it was their FIRST time applying and they become a 1x loser... they would be subject to the rule change. But those who would be 2x losers after this years lottery would be grandfathered in and allowed to run in 2009 under this rule.
I think part of the problem that it is possible that there will be a good number more two time losers after this year's lottery for WS '08 than there would be slots available for WS '09 if they all entered a third time. Something's gotta give. Perhaps, they move to a ticket/point based system where you get an extra ticket for every consecutive year you qualify, enter, and don't get in. WS would pull the appropriate number of tickets to fill the race. That way those folks who keep entering and not getting pulled have a better chance of getting in than someone entering for the first time, but the race will never have too many entrants. It's also a good sorting mechanism in that those who really want to get in have a better chance.
Under this scenario, it would be fun to see a supplemental drawing in which all persons going into the year are entered with one name pulled from that pool. The drawing could either be held before the main drawing... or even more fun, as the last draw overall. It would be pretty sweet for someone for a 5 or 6 year drought to get pulled as the last slot in the next year's race!
I'll be at the lottery. We go every year. I wouldn't miss it; it is worth the 2.5 hour drive. There is so much tension in that room--Wow!
I think they are going to have the results up pretty fast this year.
Good luck to all of you who are entered.
OK- stupid question time and I am first in line so here goes. I know what Western States is and I know a bit about the course. But why is this the 100 miler that all ultra runners want to run so badly? It seems that there are many other 100's out there and most have no lottery or waiting list. What is it that makes WS 100 so special to you all? Thanks.
Chris, i do not know. I think because it is the oldest in the country and the history behind it. At this point though i have learned there are a lot of other fabulous 100 milers out there and look forward to doing them.
My most favorite race every year has been the Old Dominion Memorial and about 30 people run each the 50 miler and 100 miler. A lot of 100 milers have a low turnout, but races like Leadville have 400+ at the start. Go figure.
A lot of it is history and how long the race has been around.
I am just looking forward to the lottery so i know either way what to do next year as far as planning my race schedule.

WS is to hundred mile runners what Boston is to marathoners, or a gig at Carnagie Hall to a classical musician. It's THE classic 100. Of course, not all ultra runners desire to run 'States. For better or for worse, I do....
Well I finally sent in my 2008 application. Tim, see you in either California or Wisconsin, depending on the odds and/or if you are still considering KM100 as an alternative.
I've been nursing a broken left little toe - caught it on a dresser. It hasn't stopped my running, but I haven't been getting in an distances for awhile.

Hi Katie.
I'm going to be in the area and could possibly be there. I'm not entering, but I'd like to see the drawing.
Food for thought: Since the North Face event in Marin is happening on the same day, will there be less attendees at WS lottery?
If you show to lottery, chances could be better this year?
After reading a number of race reports I was inspired by one written by Tim Looney from WS 2007. What a great job Tim! Now if I can Muddy to pace for me I'll be all set.
I just sent in my registration via Active. I am not sure if this method of registration has any impact on the chance of being selected, but was not sure that the application would make it there by mail in time. Thanks to those who offered feedback here!
It is pretty crazy how psyched I am for a lottery that is a month away!
well a lot of race and travel and training plans depend on it!
I read some rumours on the ultra list and wonder...it sounds like there might be some big changes coming up, but who knows for sure really?
Tim....can you post a link to your report again? I read it at the time but I am eager for some WS stuff. Makes me feel a bit guilty as I never posted any race reports, just sent some to a few friends. I love reading them and they can be so inspiring/entertaining/informative.
The link to Tim's race report that I read is -
http://timlooney.blogspot.com/2007/07/epic-journey-through-sierras.html.[/URL" target="_blank">
I found Tim's and others at Stan Jensens web site under "Race Reports". There are many good ones there, but for some reason Tim's really inspired me. Thanks Tim!

AUSTIN (May 15, 2014) Ranchers in the nation's leading cattle-producing state will vote on whether to establish a state-level program to promote and market beef.
The push to establish a checkoff of $1 a head in Texas is necessary because not enough money flows back to the state from the national program that was established in 1988, Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association spokeswoman Carmen Fenton said.
Texas producers who own or owned cattle in Texas from June 6, 2013, to June 6 of this year are eligible to vote.
Producers can vote from June 2 to June 6 during business hours at any Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service office.
A mail-in ballot from the Texas Department of Agriculture can be requested no later than June 2.
If approved, the $1 assessment will begin Oct. 1.

In the annals of erotic cinema, as with all types of cinema, there are
always those who will stand out ahead of the rest of the pack. And one
of those who would do so in this genre is the beautiful Rene Bond!
"Country Hooker" is one of her earliest works. And while the material
here is not the best, she certainly takes lemons and makes a very sexy
lemonade with her performance.
The plot is about how a couple of musicians on their way to a gig pick up a pair of babes in distress (played by always luscious Rene Bond and Sandy Dempsey) and end up getting a very "just reward" for their kindness. Little do they realize they are soon to be the ones in distress, as these gals are pros being used to set the guys up for the whims of their pimp. When the girls end up falling for the guys, though, they all wind up in a heap of trouble that one of them won't get out of alive!
The film is a veritable "who's who" of 70's soft and hardcore porno flicks, as Bond and Dempsey are joined by several others well-known to sexploitation cinephiles, such as Louis Ojena, Maria Arnold and Bond's longtime boyfriend and co-star Ric Lutze. As with the most low-budget exploitation film offerings, the production and acting are pretty poor, save for Rene Bond and Louis Ojena (who plays Mike the pimp). Despite being an early work in her long porn career, Rene Bond shows she has a natural aptitude for the acting skills required, some decent comedic timing, as well as the ability to perform sexually in front of the camera. There is plenty of male and female full frontal nudity in this one, giving flesh fiends all that they could want and then some, and while most of the women are very nice looking, Rene Bond easily stands out as the most attractive of this bunch. She and her arousingly enhanced curves will never disappoint you here.
As for the actual script, the rape and murder scene is a bit shocking for the times. There's some really bad country music sequences, which are lip-synced by the guys, and some unintentionally humorous dialogue from the campy writing that will bring out more than a chuckle or two, but overall, the script and acting in this one just doesn't quite get over the well-endowed hump(s), as the film's ending, unlike the girls in the film, is totally flat as a board. Basically, it's main worth is to see the sensual Rene Bond in one of her early roles.
"Country Hooker" might only rate as "okay" in the realm of sexploitation film, but thanks to the always sultry form and skills of Rene Bond you'll get a bit of fun and enjoyable mileage from this outing. Yee-haw, good buddies!

Former Massey CEO Accused Of Conspiracy In Court Hearing
A relatively routine plea hearing in Beckley, W.Va, Thursday, took an unexpected and dramatic turn when a former Massey Energy executive implicated former CEO Don Blankenship in a criminal conspiracy.
It's the first time Blankenship has been publicly named as an alleged conspirator in the ongoing federal criminal investigation of the 2010 explosion at Massey's Upper Big Branch coal mine.
The accusation is also the first public indication that Blankenship specifically is in the sights of federal prosecutors.
Blankenship's name was not uttered by former Massey executive David Hughart as he pleaded guilty to two conspiracy counts for his role in providing advance warnings to miners underground when federal inspectors arrived on the surface for surprise safety inspections.
Ken Ward of the Charleston Gazette was in the courtroom when U.S. District Judge Irene Berger asked Hughart "to name his co-conspirators," as Ward reports.
"Hughart said 'the chief executive officer,'" Ward writes, which was Blankenship at the time of Hughart's crimes.
"Finally there is a witness to Blankenship's misdeeds who will step forward and tell what he knows," says Cecil Roberts, president of the United Mine Workers of America. "Hopefully more will follow suit."
Hughart, 54, ran a Massey subsidiary that did not include the Upper Big Branch mine but prosecutors seem to be trying to build conspiracy cases against former executives aware of allegedly illegal practices.
"Don Blankenship didn't conspire with anybody to do anything illegal or improper," says William Taylor, Blankenship's attorney, in an interview with NPR. "It's not unusual but always a little strange to see what people will say when they're trying to get a shorter prison sentence."
Hughart is scheduled for sentencing in June and continues to cooperate with prosecutors.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Steve Ruby declined to respond when asked by NPR whether Blankenship is a formal target of the federal investigation.
Prosecutors claim in court documents that Hughart participated in a conspiracy to violate mine safety laws, resulting in the kind of dangerous conditions that preceded the explosion at the Upper Big Branch mine.
Four investigations of the tragedy concluded that the corporate culture at Massey Energy put production before safety. Investigators in this and an earlier mine disaster found evidence that Blankenship kept very close tabs on coal production and delays in all of the company's mines.
Blankenship left Massey in December, 2010, shortly before the company was sold to Alpha Natural Resources. He received a departure package worth $86.2 million according to an analysis of company records conducted for an attorney for some of the families who sued Massey for wrongful death.

Phelan Segur Sees '13 Wine Matching Previous Two Vintages
Chateau Phelan Segur, an estate in Bordeaux's Saint-Estephe region, will seek to hold prices for its 2013 vintage stable after saying it has produced wine of similar quality to the previous two years with lower yields.
The volume of grapes harvested in 2013 fell by 40 percent from the previous year following cold, wet weather during flowering, according to owner Thierry Gardinier. While differing in style from the wines of the previous two years, he said better weather during the summer and work in the winery enabled the estate to produce a "good average" vintage.
Collectors are focusing on marketing of the Bordeaux 2013 vintage after prices for the region's top-rated wines declined since peaking in 2011, according to Liv-ex indexes tracking leading estates. The Liv-ex Fine Wine 50 of first-growth left-bank wines has fallen about 3 percent since December after a similar decline last year and a drop of 10 percent in 2012.
"It was a difficult vintage to produce because the vines suffered during the spring," Gardinier said in an interview during tastings in Bordeaux last week. "We have produced a pretty fair vintage, better than what people were expecting when they saw us in October."
The estate has 70 hectares (173 acres) under vines, planted with 55 percent Cabernet Sauvignon and 45 percent Merlot grapes, and is sited on gravel and clay overlooking the Gironde estuary.
Neighboring Vineyards
While it is not included in 1855 classification of the Medoc drawn up for Napoleon III's Paris Exhibition, it traces its history back to the early 19th century, when it was created from two plots purchased in 1805 and 1810, according to its website. Neighbors include second-growth Chateau Montrose and third-growth Chateau Calon-Segur.
Gardinier said that Saint-Estephe had benefited from having less rain than some other parts of the Medoc, and lower yields would affect growers' attitudes to pricing, even amid pressure from merchants to bring 2013 prices lower.
"We will try not to decrease our prices, because we have as good a quality as 2012 and we have a low quantity," he said. "If you look at the market in the next four or five years, even if today we can say we have too much wine, I know from experience that we will have a lack of wine. So be positive, believe in your market and don't panic."
2013 Pricing
Phelan Segur's market price for its 2012 wine is currently listed at 211 pounds ($353) a case on the London-based Liv-ex market, with its 2011 vintage at 225 pounds a case and 2010 at 282 pounds.
The estate's 2012 wine is currently listed at merchants Fine+Rare in London at 237 pounds a case while the 2011 is at 238 pounds a case, according to Fine+Rare's website. That compares with 310 pounds a case for its 2010 vintage.
Among Bordeaux producers pricing their wines early in the marketing campaign this year, Chateau Pontet-Canet, a Pauillac estate neighboring Chateau Mouton Rothschild, released its 2013 wine at 60 euros ($83) a bottle ex-Bordeaux in March, unchanged from its 2012 vintage, according to Liv-ex.
Chateau Gazin in Pomerol last week cut the release price of its 2013 wine to 38 euros a bottle, down 3 percent from the 2012 vintage, while this week Chateau Pichon-Longueville, a Pauillac second growth, priced its 2013 wine at 54 euros a bottle, down 17 percent from its 2012 price of 65 euros. Chateau Gloria, a Saint-Julien producer, reduced its price by 6 percent to 19.80 euros from 21 euros, according to Liv-ex data.
Gardinier said Phelan Segur's strategy is to aim its marketing both at more traditional customers in Europe and newer buyers in markets such as Asia. "We need to prepare the future but we must not lose our old clients," he said.

Religion Youth Pastor Watch
posted by November 5 at 8:30 AMon
If kids got raped at Denny's as often as they do in churches, angry mobs would burn 'em all down. From MSNBC:
Police said a youth minister was arrested for allegedly having sex with more than one child. According to police, Marshal Seymour turned himself in Friday night after a warrant was issued for his arrest, WESH 2 News reported.
The Lakeland Police Department said the warrant came after an investigation that Seymour committed numerous sexual offenses while he was a volunteer youth minister at the First Baptist Church at the Mall in Lakeland.
Police said Seymour allegedly engaged in sexual activity with more than one minor and often paid the victims money for the sexual conduct or to keep quiet about the encounters that had occurred.
Yeah, yeah: churches do more than facilitate the sexual abuse of children. They do good works. Denny's serves delicious Grand Slam breakfasts—and magic chocolate chip waffles that cure hangovers. And Denny's would still be out of business—burned to the ground by angry mobs, shuttered by the outraged authorities—if kids got raped by Denny's cooks and waitresses as often as kids are raped by ministers, priests, and youth pastors.

Swiss Stocks Rally to Four-Year High; Novartis Gains
Swiss stocks climbed, with the Swiss Market Index closing at the highest level in more than four years, as German investor confidence exceeded forecasts.
Novartis AG, which accounts for 19 percent of the SMI by weight, rose for a fourth day. AFG Arbonia-Forster Holding AG advanced 2.7 percent after saying it will reduce the size of its management team.
The SMI added 0.4 percent to 6,973.69 at the close of trading in Zurich, gaining for a fourth day in its longest winning streak in five weeks. The equity benchmark posted its highest close since Sept. 19, 2008, the week after the collapse of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. The broader Swiss Performance Index also increased 0.4 percent today.
"German ZEW data turned out to be much better than expected," said Jean-Paul Jeckelmann, chief investment officer at Banque Bonhote & Cie. in Neuchatel, Switzerland. "As this index is highly correlated with short-term activity, it means that we can expect an improvement in economic activity in the first quarter of 2013."
The SMI has rallied 22 percent from this year's low on June 4 as the European Central Bank unveiled an unlimited bond-buying plan. The volume of shares changing hands today in companies on the index was 24 percent lower than the average of the last 30 days, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Investor Confidence
In Germany, investor confidence jumped in December. The ZEW Center for European Economic Research in Mannheim said its index of investor and analyst expectations, which aims to predict economic developments six months in advance, climbed to 6.9 from minus 15.7 in November. Economists had forecast a gain to minus 11.5, according to the median of 38 estimates in a Bloomberg News survey.
"After the setback in November, the economic expectations increased significantly and are in positive territory again for the first time since May," Viola Julien, an analyst at Helaba Landesbank Hessen-Thueringen in Frankfurt, wrote in an e-mail. "Together with the robust assessment, it provides a positive indication for the German purchasing managers' index." The first reading of Germany's PMI for this month is due on Dec. 14.
Fed rate setters began a two-day meeting today. The officials will consider whether to supplement $40 billion a month of mortgage-bond purchases with Treasury purchases. The central bank will publish updated projections on economic growth, unemployment and inflation tomorrow.
U.S. Budget
U.S. politicians need to agree on a budget to prevent more than $600 billion of automatic tax increases and spending cuts from coming into effect next year. President Barack Obama and Republican House Speaker John Boehner met at the weekend at the White House. Representatives for the two said in statements that "the lines of communication remain open."
In Italy, Prime Minister Mario Monti said that his decision to resign and the elections due early next year will not lead to a political vacuum in the country.
Novartis rose 0.7 percent to 58.85 Swiss francs. The company told an American Society of Hematology meeting that its Jakavi drug reduced the burden of myelofibrosis in trials. It also said tests revealed its Tasigna drug has benefits compared with Glivec as a treatment for chronic myeloid leukemia.
"These two sets of results are important to Novartis in two ways," Olav Zilian and Odile Rundquist, analysts at Helvea SA in Geneva, wrote in a report. "Tasigna is being positioned as the more efficacious follow-up compound to Glivec to protect this franchise. Jakavi, on the other hand, is a novel type of therapy for myelofibrosis where no efficacious therapy has been available before."
Health-care companies contributed the most to the SMI's advance, with Roche Holding AG, the world's biggest maker of cancer drugs, rising 0.9 percent to 188.60 francs. Lonza Group AG gained 1.4 percent to 48.52 francs and Sonova Holding AG gained 0.9 percent to 106.90 francs.
AFG advanced 2.7 percent to 22.50 francs after the maker of heaters, windows, doors and refrigeration systems said it will reduce the size of its management and adapt its strategy to concentrate on construction materials.

SDCC: Marvel: Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends Panel
Comic Books
Comics are a visual medium, and some images grab your attention at the outset. In the case of writer/artist Matthew Petz's War of the Woods, I liked the story from the moment I saw a live turtle being used as the otter Phin's helmet.
The digital series, which reveals an alien invasion of Earth from the perspective of an animal kingdom, has completed two seasons (both Season 1 and Season 2 are available on comiXology) with more on the horizon. Petz recently took some time to discuss how the series came into being and some of his plans for Season 3.
A little more than a year ago, Matthew Petz saw his webcomic War of the Woods win Zuda's monthly contest. A few months later, Zuda ended their monthly contests, then shut down the website and by the fall the imprint was shuttered by DC — all before Petz's strip ever began its run on the site.
"A year ago this month I was trying to win the Zuda competition. I finally DID pull off the win…only to watch Zuda fold a few months later," Petz told me last week. "That was kinda brutal."
But the end of Zuda wouldn't mean the end of the strip, as War of the Woods, like several other former Zuda strips, has found a new home on comiXology. But while some of the strips offered on Zuda are still being sold and branded under the Zuda imprint — and through the DC-branded application for the iPhone and iPad — Petz's strip is now completely creator-owned.

By OFFICER CANDIDATE TANANGACHI MFUNI February 12, 2014
FORT BENNING, Ga., (Feb. 12, 2014) -- Whether it was a unity walk alongside Columbus' mayor, reading with children at Phenix City Library or raising the massive garrison flag, future officers at Fort Benning's Officer Candidate School spent Martin Luther King Jr. Day weekend serving the community.
"For leaders especially, you need to show your support for your surroundings and the areas in which you live," said Officer Candidate Kristen Smith, a native of Syracuse, N.Y. enrolled in OCS.
The school is an intensive 12-week course that trains Soldiers into Army officers and future leaders. It is one of only three U.S. Army officer commissioning sources, along with U.S. Military Academy and the Reserve Officer Training Corps.
Smith was one of 40 officer candidates who participated in Columbus' Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. "The Dream Lives" Unity Processional and Celebration.
The walk drew hundreds of representatives from civic groups. They marched through the streets of downtown Columbus to the trombone beat of high school bands, convening on the Government Center Plaza. In the plaza, the festivities continued as participants, held bold black and gold signs that read "I am the dream" and "the dream lives," prayed, danced and listened to speeches honoring the slain civil rights leader. King's 85th birthday was observed nationally on Jan. 20.
"We're here today because of the significant impact Martin Luther King had on the community, just to remember that," said Capt. Michelle McDevitt, OCS's Headquarters Company commander.
McDevitt was among a group of leaders invited to walk with Columbus Mayor Teresa Tomlinson during the processional.
In nearby Phenix City, Ala., officer candidates gave back in other ways. Officer Candidate John Thompson was among a group of volunteers who spent Saturday morning at Phenix City-Russell County Library helping children to read.
"As a former educator, I wholeheartedly believe that reading is the basis of children's education," said Thompson, who previously taught middle and high school students in Potosi, Mo., before joining the Army.
Each OCS class is challenged to collectively volunteer a minimum of 500 hours during the three-month course. OCS administrators like 1st Sgt. Marcus Brister, the senior noncommissioned officer of A Company, said he hopes volunteering will lay a foundation of selfless service in candidates' lives that carries over into the future.
"The first thing you have to learn is how to be selfless and how to give to others because that's what steward-leadership is all about," Brister said. "We start that here with very simple products, just going out and serving the community hoping that we instill the bedrock (of selfless service) that later on in your career is going to mean saving a life."
Candidates had the opportunity to practice selfless service when they raised and lowered Fort Benning's massive garrison flag on MLK Day.
Officer Candidate Cuong Tran was among those who got up at 4:30 a.m.
"When I think about it, it's getting up to do something for the nation," said Tran, a resident of Worchester, Mass., by way of Cambodia. "It made me feel proud of the community, proud of the country."
It is with a sense of pride and duty that officer candidates look forward to future opportunities to serve the community.
"We need to more events like this," said Officer Candidate Shirley Charles. "It brought us closer together."

The following is an excerpt from a blog post by local restaurateur and caterer Steve Poses. This is one in a series of features he's running on area farmers' markets. To read the full text on his blog, click here.
With the exception of any day at Reading Terminal Market, a summer's Sunday at Headhouse Farmers' Market is Philadelphia's best food shopping experience. And for pure physical per-square-foot concentration of food-shopping ecstasy, it is unrivaled. There are good reasons for this.
Headhouse is located on 2nd Street, between Pine and Lombard, at the south side of Society Hill, adjacent to Queen Village. The headhouse was built in 1805 and originally housed a volunteer fire department. The Shambles, the covered arcade, is an English name for a collection of butcher shops.
The Headhouse Farmers' Market grows out of long market tradition. But its success today is due in large part to the uniquely supportive demographics of Society Hill and Queen Village. Though Society Hill is the least dense of Center City's neighborhoods at 12,867 citizens per square mile, Queen Village has a density of 23,616 that rivals Rittenhouse Square at 26,081. It's against this demographic backdrop that the Headhouse Farmers' Market operates each Sunday.
Most neighborhood farmers' markets are laid out single file, under tents along a sidewalk strip. By contrast, the Headhouse market, operated by The Food Trust, sits within the shambles with tables lining both sides. The covered arcade provides a more intimate and compressed physical experience. At the same time, the absence of mismatched and low-hanging tents provides a more consistent, open and accessible market.
The market opens at 9:30 a.m. so plan on breakfast sausage from Renaissance Sausage. In addition to breakfast sandwiches of Sausage, Egg and Cheese or a Brie and Fresh Pear Melt, Renaissance Sausage offers four sausage options including a vegetarian sausage.
Occasionally, a neighborhood farmers' market has a food truck. Headhouse boasts Los Taquitos de Pueblo, a 9th Street taqueriia that sets up a tent just outside the market near Pine Street. Its street-friendly menu includes Tacos al Pastor with pork, onions, cilantro and a slice of pineapple, Chicken Taco, or Quesadilla with your choices like mushroom and corn or zucchini blossom.
If you plan your appetite carefully, you might manage a breakfast sausage, your shopping and then a lunch taco. Wash it all down with a fresh-squeezed — and shaken — lemonade from Twisted Lemonade. Try Carrot Apple Ginger or Cucumber Herb.
Serious produce shoppers have a world of choices at Headhouse. Summer basil is de rigueur at farmers' markets. At Headhouse your basil choices include purple, Genovese and Thai.
Man and woman do not eat by produce alone. Each Sunday Tulula's Table returns to its neighborhood roots vending house made cured meats and spreads. Birchrun Hills Farm offers cheese and hormone- and antibiotic-free pork and veal. Other stands also offer cheese — cow or goat, your choice. Moutainview Poultry offers free-range chicken and beef.
If you appreciate the beauty of food, wandering the Headhouse Farmers' Market is the equivalent of an art lover wandering the galleries of our Philadelphia Museum of Art. This Sunday think about visiting the Farmers' Market at Headhouse.

- Conference date: 10–15 June 2012
- Location: Austin, Texas, USA
We present 'jasmine', an implementation of a fully relativistic, 3D, electromagnetic Particle-In-Cell (PIC) code, capable of running simulations in various laser plasma acceleration regimes on Graphics-Processing-Units (GPUs) HPC clusters. Standard energy/charge preserving FDTD-based algorithms have been implemented using double precision and quadratic (or arbitrary sized) shape functions for the particle weighting. When porting a PIC scheme to the GPU architecture (or, in general, a shared memory environment), the particle-to-grid operations (e.g. the evaluation of the current density) require special care to avoid memory inconsistencies and conflicts. Here we present a robust implementation of this operation that is efficient for any number of particles per cell and particle shape function order. Our algorithm exploits the exposed GPU memory hierarchy and avoids the use of atomic operations, which can hurt performance especially when many particles lay on the same cell. We show the code multi-GPU scalability results and present a dynamic load-balancing algorithm. The code is written using a python-based C++ meta-programming technique which translates in a high level of modularity and allows for easy performance tuning and simple extension of the core algorithms to various simulation schemes.

random NAVY man is random! I actually like this except for the salute, which I have to assume you know is wrong, but this has made me decide that a random stalker watch is in order!

I want to enable BLOB on my sharepoint 2010 portal. Portal has two servers: 1. SQL Server 2008 R2 64bit 2. Front-End Server (Windows 2008 64Bit)
I tried steps on this url but when I execute $rbss.Enable() command, I get this error:
Exception calling "Enable" with "0" argument(s):
"Must declare the scalar variable "@RbsId"."
At line:1 char:13
$rbss.Enable ()
CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [],
FullyQualifiedErrorId : DotNetMethodException
Is there a solution for this error?

Some anecdotal evidence that OneRepublic is 2008-quality huge, even if it isn't moving U2 units: Both my wife and my mother-in-law have "Apologize" ringtones. Like peers the Fray, this Colorado-based band blow bumper-sticker sized emotions and clichés up into billboard-width anthems: Electric and acoustic guitars are lacquered within an inch of their lives, pianos and keyboards enable universalized anthems and stadium-ready hooks. Having photogenic Ryan Tedder front and center as lead singer doesn't hurt matters; he projects a passionate blandness that's difficult to resist, in a Daniel Powter/Coldplay sense. So OneRepublic—God, even its name suggests a meaningless utopian otherverse that doubles as an all-encompassing Starbucks outlet, or something—numb, narcotize, placate. And if you're honest with yourself, you'll accept that they'll probably never be any more famous than they are right now; a thousand comers in the same Adult Contemp Lite vein are waiting in the wings, just waiting to snare an MOR crown that never gathers dust. With Augustana, the Spill Canvas, and the Hush Sound.
