Gold May Tumble to $1,535 on 200-Day Average: Technical Analysis
Gold, down 7.1 percent from the 2012 high in October, may extend its losses through next quarter, according to technical analysis by Stifel Nicolaus & Co.
The price may drop to $1,535 an ounce if it closes below the 200-day moving average, said Dave Lutz, the head of exchange-traded fund trading and strategy at Stifel Nicolaus in Baltimore. Futures for February delivery were little changed at $1,670.10 at 12:51 p.m. on the Comex in New York, after falling as much as 0.3 percent to $1,665.10. The 200-day moving average is about $1,669.
Gold is facing "headwinds" amid low inflation and the prospect for a budget agreement in Congress, Lutz said. If lawmakers are able to avoid the more than $600 billion in tax increases and spending cuts set to begin in January, it would remove an obstacle to economic growth and reduce demand for precious metals as a haven, he said.
"Low inflation and low-to-medium growth are going to be a negatives for gold," Lutz said in a telephone interview. "Businesses are holding back on spending, but as soon as we get the budget stuff out of the way, 2013 could certainly be a good year for growth" in the economy, he said.
The "first stop" for gold will be $1,600, followed by a drop to $1,535 by the end of the first quarter, Lutz said, basing his forecast on the price move when futures fell below the moving average in March.

Thibodaux disaster-recovery center to close
Published: Saturday, January 21, 2006 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, January 21, 2006 at 1:12 a.m.
THIBODAUX -- FEMAs disaster-recovery center in Thibodaux will close Wednesday after helping thousands of local residents with questions and applications for aid in the wake of hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
"As relief and recovery efforts continue in Louisiana, closing the Thibodaux (center) will enable us to focus our resources to assist the maximum number of people," Federal Coordinating Officer Scott Wells said in a news release.
In Nicholls Plaza shopping center on St. Mary Street, in the old Jakes Department Store, the office will close at 5 p.m. Wednesday.
Since opening Sept. 20, the center has served 7,756 people, officials said.
Storm victims can still get help filing for grants, loans and other aid at dozens of other centers across the state.
In Lafourche, a center will remain open at 4560 La. 1 in Raceland. In Terrebonne, FEMA is operating a Disaster Recovery Center in Town Hall at 805 Barrow St. in Houma. Both are open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
Hurricane victims may still register for assistance by calling (800) 621-FEMA (3362). Hearing- or speech-impaired individuals may register by calling (800) 462-7585 (TTY).
Residents of Terrebonne, Lafourche and other parishes declared disaster areas after the hurricanes have until March 11 to register with FEMA for aid. Once registered, an applicant may be eligible for temporary-housing assistance -- such as financial aid for rent or emergency-repair grants of up to $5,200 for homeowners with uninsured or under-insured damage to their primary residence -- as well as other expenses not met through insurance or other programs.

Ford Focus RS review
The third car to carry the Ford Focus RS badge is a 345bhp, four-wheel drive monster, the firm's most extreme hot hatch yet
The Ford Focus RS has taken its place at the top of the high-performance hot hatch tree having been named our 2016 Hot Hatch of the Year at the annual Auto Express New Car Awards. For once, the term mega hatch is fully justified when applied to the RS Ford. The fastest Ford Focus is great to drive and comes at a bargain price - that puts it among some of the exciting and affordable cars on the road today, of any type. It's agile and sporty in all the right places and offers massive acceleration, while the turbocharged engine delivers a suitably sporty soundtrack too.
It wouldn't be a hot hatch without being at least a little down-to-Earth, and the Focus RS is also well equipped and solidly built - so you can use it every day. The stiff ride and small boot might be sticking points for some buyers, but in all other respects the RS is one of the performance car bargains of the decade.
This is the third-generation Ford Focus RS, and it continues the bloodline by being the hottest version of the family hatchback ever. It also bucks the trend by introducing a clever four-wheel drive system, able to make the most out of the car's 345bhp 2.3-litre EcoBoost engine. Just like its main rivals, the Ford Focus RS aims to deliver supercar thrills combined with the everyday practicality of a family hatchback - and all at a competitive price.
• New Ford Focus RS: full details on 345bhp, 4x4 mega-hatch
That 345bhp power output places the Focus RS on a par with rivals such as the Audi RS3, Mercedes-AMG A 45 and Volkswagen Golf R. However, with a price tag in the region of £30k, the Focus RS is far better value than the Mercedes and Audi, costing around the same as the less powerful Honda Civic Type-R.
Image 4 of 54
As you'd expect from a top-of-the-range Focus, the RS is well equipped. The biggest changes are to the outside, as the RS is fitted with an aggressive bodykit, redesigned front end and 19-inch alloy wheels. The gaping grille with matt black surround, prominent front splitter, bulging wheelarches and high-rise tailgate spoiler ensure the RS looks like it's driven straight off a rally stage. Inside, the changes are less distinct, but you do get body-hugging Recaro sports seats, blue finished dials, RS badges and a drive mode button next to the gearlever.
It's under the skin where the biggest changes have taken place. The Focus RS features a six-speed manual gearbox and four-wheel-drive transmission, but Ford's engineers have developed it to deliver sports car-style handling, so it has a bias towards the rear wheels that other four-wheel-drive super hatches can't match.
• Best hot hatchbacks to buy now
While many four-wheel drive cars can understeer slightly in corners, the torque vectoring system in the Focus can send extra power to the rear wheels to give the car a much more rear-biased character. There's even a special Drift Mode that allows you to get the car sideways in corners without the risk of spinning.
Then, of course, there's the engine. The turbocharged 2.3-litre four-cylinder is taken from the latest Mustang, but a number of internal revisions, including the addition of a unique cylinder head machined by British tuning specialist Cosworth, has helped boost power to 345bhp and torque to a muscular 440Nm.
Overall, the new Focus RS is the most extreme hot hatch Ford has built since the Escort RS Cosworth of the early nineties. However, while that model was designed to go rallying, the Focus RS is simply designed to be one of the fastest cars on the road - and for most driving conditions in the UK, there's little to better it.
Engines, performance and drive
Fast Ford models have always had a reputation for delivering thrilling driving dynamics, but the RS engineers have pulled out all the stops with this Focus. As a result, it's the first high performance Ford to feature four-wheel drive since the legendary Escort RS Cosworth. Yet unlike the fairly agricultural system fitted to its ancestor, the Focus' transmission is packed with cutting edge kit.
At the heart of set-up is what the company terms its Rear Drive Unit, which can send up to 70 percent of the engine's torque to the rear axle, then up to 100 percent of this power to an individual rear wheel. In effect, Ford has engineered in a torque vectoring facility that aims to combine the stability and traction of an all-wheel- drive car with the adjustability and agility of a traditional rear-driven machine.
• A history of Ford's RS brand
In addition Ford has ditched the Focus ST's variable ratio steering rack in favour of fixed rate set-up that promises even more consistent responses and greater feedback. Also included are two stage adaptive dampers, plus a Drive Mode that allows you to choose from Normal, Sport, Drift and Track modes.
Image 9 of 54
On the road, this hi-tech cocktail results in one of the most exciting hot hatch driving experiences money can buy.
As you'd expect, there's bags of grip, and the Focus turns eagerly into corners and stays locked on your chosen line. The steering is quick, well weighted and packed with decent feedback, while selecting the sportier driving modes adds a little extra weight – although it doesn't really need it.
Despite the sharpness of the steering, it's the four-wheel drive system that really impresses. Even in Normal mode, the rear differential sends significant torque to the outside rear wheel, helping to point the nose of the RS into the bend. Go for the Sport setting and the effect is even more pronounced. In wet and slippery conditions you'll even get a delicious flick of oversteer when you apply the power.
The Brembo brakes also deserve special mention. Not only are they powerful, but they're easy to modulate thanks to the progressive action of the well-weighted pedal.
Image 17 of 54
Then there's the exciting sounding Drift setting. Prod a button on the transmission tunnel, and the four-wheel drive system is primed to deliver controlled and graceful sideways slides without the risk of spinning. However, in reality this addition is a bit of a gimmick, especially for drivers more used to a traditional rear-wheel drive layout. Initially the rear wheels spin to push the rear of the car round, but soon power is delivered to the front axle as the electronics attempt to pull the car straight. It's okay for a bit of show-boating in wide-open spaces, but ultimately rather unsatisfying.
When you're not playing the hooligan, the RS is pretty much an ordinary Focus, which means it's easy to drive and fairly refined. The pedals and steering are reasonably light, while the gearbox has an easy and precise action. Only the firm ride lets the car down.
Even with the standard adaptive dampers in their 'Normal' setting the Focus fidgets and follows almost every bump in te road - although it's no worse than the Fiesta ST in this respect. Tap a button on the end of the indicator stalk and you'll engage the 'Sport' setting, which stiffens the suspension by a further 40 percent. However, this mode is far too firm for road use and should only really be used if you're taking the car on track days.
The Focus RS is a standalone model, so there's only one engine choice - but it's a corker. Based on the turbocharged 2.3-litre four-cylinder engine already seen on the recently introduced Ford Mustang, it features a number of tweaks that push power and torque up to 345bhp and 440Nm respectively. Technical highlights include a separate oil cooler, a larger turbocharger, a high capacity radiator and a large bore exhaust. Fans of older fast Fords will also be heartened to discover that British tuning specialists Cosworth produce the unique aluminium cylinder head.
As you'd expect, performance is impressive, with the RS demolishing the benchmark 0-62mph sprint in a claimed 4.7 seconds. However, when we tested the car we recorded a 0-60mph time of 5.0 seconds. This figure is achieved in conjunction with the standard launch control, which automatically holds the engine revs at the perfect point for a the fastest getaway. This system is effective but brutal, and it's likely the frequent use will put a lot of strain on teh clutch and transmission.
Image 22 of 54
Yet on the road it's the car's mid-range muscle that really impresses. Once the revs climb past 2,000rpm the Focus simply flies. There's virtually no turbo lag and the engine responds crisply to the throttle. The slick six-speed manual also allows you to make the most of the considerable performance.
The 2.3-litre unit sounds good, too. A valve in the twin exit exhausts opens at higher revs, boosting gas flow rate and adding a hard edged growl to the soundtrack. Lift off the throttle and you treated to a barrage of pops, crackles and bangs on the overrun. It's not quite as charismatic as the Audi RS3's five-cylinder unit, but it's not far off.
MPG, CO2 and running costs
You're not going to buy a Focus RS if you want efficient transport, but Ford has added stop-start to the 2.3-litre EcoBoost engine to help reduce your fuel bills when you want to take it easy.
An official combined economy figure of 36.7mpg is around 3mpg behind the VW Golf R and Mercedes-AMG A 45, but is slightly ahead of the Audi RS3. Of course, if you're going to use the EcoBoost engine's performance, then you're unlikely to come close to Ford's claimed economy figures, and the car will easily dip in to the 20s without too much provocation. That's especially true if you use the car's overboost function, which bumps torque up from 440Nm to 470Nm for 15 seconds at a time - perfect for rapid overtakes, but less so for efficiency.
Image 23 of 54
Emissions of 175g/km mean road tax costs £205 a year, which is £25 a year more than the VW and Mercedes. Despite its higher emissions figure, the Focus RS is a cheaper company car than the A 45, thanks to its price tag of just over £30,000, but the Golf R is an even better option for business users.
Insurance groups
As it's a performance car, the Focus RS sits in insurance group 40, which is seven groups higher than the Focus ST. It's in the same band as the Audi RS3, while the Mercedes A 45 is four groups higher, and the Golf R is six groups below. A Thatcham Category 1 alarm is fitted as standard.
The Focus RS features Ford's MyKey system, which allows you to set up user profiles for whoever is driving the car, while xenon lights and a Quickclear windscreen help visibility. Ford's Door Edge protectors are available as an £85 option – these pop out of the doors as you open them and place a plastic strip on the edge of the door to prevent car park scrapes.
Image 31 of 54
Our experts predict 51 per cent residuals for the Focus RS after three years, which is slightly behind the VW Golf R and nearly 10 per cent behind the Audi RS3, but it is marginally better than the Mercedes A 45.
From launch, demand has been good for the Focus RS, although if you order one today you won't have long to wait for delivery. Even so, some early examples are already being advertised for over list price.
Interior, design and technology
The Focus RS is all about performance, and Ford has given it a suitably aggressive look to mark it out from the rest of the range. At the front there's a gaping grille that has a secondary air intake below and a pair of inlets on either side. However, the main grille has a big slab of grey plastic across it where the number plate attaches, and while the blue RS badge stands out on it, the front end does look a little awkward.
Further back, there are 19-inch multispoke alloy wheels, or you can upgrade to lightweigh black forged alloys for £595, while deeper sills are added. At the back, the ST's centre-exit exhaust is replaced by two pipes that protrude from either side of the diffuser, while a towering rear wing is fitted above the rear screen. As standard, the Focus RS comes in Stealth grey, while white is a £250 option, metallic grey or black are £525 and the exclusive Nitrous Blue metallic is a £745 option.
Image 38 of 54
Inside, the Focus RS has been given a few blue bits of trim and RS badges to mark it out from the rest of the Focus range, but the biggest change is a new pair of Recaro sports seats up front. They're finished in leather and Alcantara with blue detailing if you go for the Nitrous Blue exterior paint. You can also upgrade to slimline Recaro Shell seats for £1,145. These are firmer and offer better support, but like the standard chairs they are set just a little too high.
The RS's dashboard design is largely the same as the ST, with a large touchscreen on the centre console, while the twin dials in the instrument cluster flank a large trip display and two auxiliary gauges. Like the ST, there's a set of three additional gauges on top of the dash above the centre console, while the RS adds a Drive Mode button next to the gearlever. The cabin quality is good, with plenty of soft-touch materials, while the layout is easy enough to get along with.
Sat-nav, stereo and infotainment
The Focus RS features a nine-speaker Sony stereo, eight-inch touchscreen and Ford's Sync 2 voice control system as standard. The latter is controlled via a button on the multifunction steering wheel, and lets you adjust phone, stereo and climate settings without taking your hands off the steering wheel.
The infotainment system is the same as you'll find in lower spec Focus models, so it's easy to pair your phone via Bluetooth, plus you get a USB socket in a centre console cubby to connect your audio device and a DAB radio as standard.
Sat-nav is a £465 option, and again, it's the same user-friendly system you'll find across Ford's range, with clear mapping, good traffic alerts and user-friendly guidance instructions. However. some of the buttons are Ford's SYNC 3 system will be available soon, too.
Practicality, comfort and boot space
Like the standard Focus, the RS model isn't the roomiest hatchback around. However, performance is a greater priority in a car like this, so buyers will be happier to overlook its smaller carrying capacity compared to its rivals.
The boot has less space than you'll find in an Audi RS3 or VW Golf R, but at least the standard five-door body means it's easy to access the back seats, while those in the front have plenty of room and a wide range of wheel and seat adjustment to get comfortable.
The standard Recaro sports seats are a bit bigger than normal, so legroom in the back is further reduced, although if you upgrade to the Recaro shell front seats this frees up some room - but some might find them a bit uncomfortable. Plus their large and solid backrests hinder the view forward for passengers sitting in the rear.
Image 26 of 54
Whichever seats you choose, you'll find that like the last Focus RS, you feel like you're sitting rather high in the Focus' cabin. The seats don't adjust low enough for some tastes, and makes you feel like you're sitting on the car, rather than in it. Aside from the seats, the rest of the RS's cabin is the same as the standard Focus, so you get decent door bins, a deep armrest cubby and a big glovebox.
In terms of dimensions, the RS is the same size as the standard Focus. That means it's similar in size to rivals such as the VW Golf R and Audi RS3, but slightly bigger than the Mercedes A 45.
Its five-door body means access is pretty easy, while the thin pillars help visibility out, too. The lower chin spoiler and an overall lower ride height than the standard Focus means you're more likely to scrape over speed bumps, especially as the stiff suspension doesn't offer any give over bumps.
Leg room, head room & passenger space
Space for back seat passengers is limited when compared to models like the VW Golf R and Audi RS3. There's just about room for three across the back, although the middle seat is higher than the two on either side, and legroom is even more restricted thanks to the transmission tunnel running to the back of the car. Like the standard Focus, the RS has two sets of Isofix points in the outer rear seats. Headroom is finein the Focus RS, although if you add the £575 sunroof it can cut headroom slightly.
Space up front is good, and while the Recaro sports seats are mounted on the high side, headroom is fine. The heavily bolstered seats hold you in place in corners, but they're still comfortable in everyday use, but if you upgrade to the optional Recaro shell seats, you can expect them to be firmer. They do boost legroom in the back, though.
Image 42 of 54
There's a four-wheel-drive system underpinning the Focus RS, and accommodating the rear differential has resulted in a smaller boot than the standard car – already one of the most cramped in the family car class. With the seats in place there's a paltry 260 litres to play with, which is less than you'll get in a Fiesta supermini. In comparison, the VW Golf R has a smaller boot than the standard car, but at 343 litres it's still 83 litres up on the Focus RS.
While it's not big, the Focus RS's boot is a decent shape, with a large floor and no intrusion from the wheelarches or suspension. It also has a shallow boot lip and a wide opening. At least a 60/40 split fold rear seat is standard, and with the rear bench lowered there's a reasonable 1,045 litres on offer. However, you need to flip the seat bases up if you want a flatter floor. The seats are released via a pair of shoulder-mounted buttons, and they are easy to fold, while the parcel shelf is easy to remove, too.
Reliability and Safety
The Focus RS is essentially an uprated version of the standard Focus hatch. It uses the same electronics and infotainment system as the standard car, while some of the mechanical parts are uprated kit developed from the Focus ST hot hatch.
The 2.3-litre EcoBoost engine is a development of the 2.0-litre EcoBoost in the Focus ST, and it's also found in the Ford Mustang. However, bespoke components in the Focus RS mean power has been bumped up to 345bhp, making it the most powerful EcoBoost engine in the line-up. The six-speed manual gearbox is also a beefed up version of the transmission in the Focus ST, while Ford's RS department has plenty of experience in motorsport, and its engineers will know how to build a car that is fast and reliable.
The chassis has been developed to deliver an involving drive, while the car's electronics are designed to help you explore the car's limits with an electronic safety net in place should things go wrong. There are four Drive Modes, while the four-wheel drive system and its torque vectoring electronics should ensure the Focus RS is a sure-footed performer, even in the wet.
Image 51 of 54
The standard Focus has a five-star Euro NCAP rating, and the RS model should be equally safe. Standard kit on the flagship model includes six airbags, tyre pressure monitors, auto lights and wipers, a Quickclear windscreen and high-performance Brembo brakes. You can also add autonomous emergency braking for £200.
The Focus RS is well built from plenty of bespoke materials, and considering the mass-market standard car performed reasonably well in our Driver Power survey, the tailor-made RS model should be a solid and reliable machine. It certainly feels well built, with plenty of soft-touch plastics used throughout.
As with the standard Focus, you get a three-year, 60,000-mile warranty on the RS model. That's similar to rivals, while the 12-year corrosion warranty covers the paintwork against manufacturing defects. There's a one-year roadside assistance policy with the Focus RS, while Ford offers warranty extensions of 1-2 years for a little extra outlay.
The Focus RS has the same service intervals as the standard car, at one year or 12,500 miles. It'll be pretty easy to get your car maintained, as Ford has over 700 dealers across the country, just don't expect a first-class service, though. Ford's franchises finished poorly in our Driver Power survey, with owners complaining of a lack of personal service from its franchises.

Issued at 1146 AM MDT Sat Jul 23 2016 Everything looks on track today. Drier air has moved into northeastern Utah and northwestern Colorado, but thermally induced convection still expected this afternoon across the region. Storms will have more of a wind threat than a heavy rain threat today, but localized heavy rain and small hail may still occur. Short term models indicating storms will be rather isolated today due to an elevated inversion seen in this morning`s sounding, but still possible as the afternoon progresses. && .SHORT TERM...(Today through Sunday) Issued at 416 AM MDT Sat Jul 23 2016 The monsoonal plume that has been over the forecast area for the past week will be shifting slowly south today with drier air working into the northern zones late this afternoon and overnight. Still plenty of juice to work with today and expect another round of storms favoring the San Juans. Second favored area will be along the deeper moisture gradient which looks to set up along the higher terrain just north of Interstate 70. Eastward storm motion will be slow across the southern zones, but expected to pick up a bit the further north you go. NAM hinting at another weak wave tracking across the north this afternoon, which appears to be associated with the drier air mass moving in. Have nudged pops up a bit, especially over the southern and central mountains in western Colorado. With precipitable water values continuing to drop and Heavy rain will be even more localized and no plans on hoisting any flash flood watches attm. Sunday looks dry across the northern zones with diurnally driven activity continuing along and south of Interstate 70. Temperatures will be on the plus side of normal through Sunday with many lower valleys making a run at the triple digit heat. .LONG TERM...(Sunday night through Friday) Issued at 416 AM MDT Sat Jul 23 2016 The upper level ridging over the region will be suppressed as we start off the new week with the deeper plume dropping south. This will keep the focus of new convection over our southern zones with little to no activity expected across the north. Some recycling of the moisture is expected Monday and Tuesday, leading to additional diurnally driven convection. The ridge then slides back over the southern Great Basin and swings drier weather back over the entire forecast area by mid-week. This will also bump temps back up a few degrees with more triple digit heat possible for the lower valleys. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Sunday afternoon) Issued at 1146 AM MDT Sat Jul 23 2016 Much quieter today and for the next 24 hours as the threat of heavy rain lessens.

This was by far the nicest room overall that we had on an 11-day trip. The room was huge, with two queen beds, a sleeper sofa, frig and microwave, desk, coffemaker, large tv, etc. The bathroom had a granite (I think) countertop, was very spacious, and actually had enough light! Everything seemed very clean and quiet. The breakfast was several notches above the usual, with real scrambled eggs and sausage and real plates and silverware. However, as others have noted, there is no pool, and it is listed in the Choice Hotels book as having one. The real failing, though, was the beds. The 40-year old mattress in my hunting camp is more comfortable than these beds were. The niceness of the rest of the room makes me wonder if we got a room that had been recently updated but had not yet received new bedding. I had a coupon from a booklet and got the room for $55, and although it was worth that, I would not stay there again without insisting on checking out the beds first. No bargain is worth a sleepless night.

First, the San Francisco Giants lost their catcher, Buster Posey, to one of the most gruesome athletic injuries since Joe Theismann's career was ended when Lawrence Taylor snapped his leg in December of 1985. Then, the San Francisco Giants' (formerly?) well-respected GM Brian Sabean lost his mind Thursday night. He viciously lashed out at the Florida Marlins' Scott Cousins, whose hard hit caused Posey to break his left ankle and tear ligaments. On KNBR Radio in San Francisco, Sabean said "If I never hear from Cousins again or he never plays another game in the big leagues, I think we'll all be happy," and added "we'll have a long memory. You can't be that out-and-out overly aggressive. I'll put it as politically as I can state it: There's no love lost and there shouldn't be." The ill-willed comments prompted many angry reactions from Major League Baseball, the Marlins and even the Giants owners, who issued a statement distancing the club from Sabean's outburst. Finally, Posey tried to diffuse the verbal smackdown Saturday, issuing a statement of his own to the San Jose Mercury News: "I appreciate the continued support of Giants fans and others as I begin the process of working my way back. But in no way do I condone threats of any kind against Scott Cousins or his family. "As I said last week, I'm not out to vilify Scott. I appreciate that he made the effort to reach out to me on the night of the play, but I was in no physical condition to talk to anyone. I have not been back with the team since that night, so I haven't even been aware of any other messages he's left for me. We all need to move on, so it isn't necessary to have a conversation with him at this point. My only focus right now is looking forward, getting healthy and returning to catching for the Giants." So, it seems like Plategate might actually mercifully be coming to an end. But before it does and blame is assigned for all eternity, I decided to ask baseball's greatest plate-blocker how he managed to regularly stop runners from scoring without sustaining a career-threatening injury. Angels' manager Mike Scioscia took the art of blocking the plate to a new level when he played for the Dodgers. He was "blown up" as he refers to it by Jack Clark one Sunday afternoon at Dodger Stadium, getting knocked out and spending the night in the hospital for observation, but that was about as close as he came to getting seriously hurt. And for the record, he proudly points out that "I was back and was used as a pinch hitter the next night." No one would ever question Scioscia's toughness, but his methods of blocking the plate were often scrutinized by opposing managers. They would complain that the umpires let Scioscia get away with taking away the base runner's lane to home plate, and that the Dodger catcher was successful only because he broke the rules. "There are rules that you have to abide by when it comes to blocking the plate," Scioscia said Saturday prior to the Angels-Yankees game at the Big A. "I feel I always did that, or the umpires would have called it." Scioscia went on to discuss the Posey situation, saying he didn't believe that Cousins was malicious when he tried to score and ended up slamming into the Giant catcher, breaking his left ankle and tearing ligaments. "Not a dirty play at all in my opinion. It was unfortunate because you never want to see any player get hurt like that, whether he's a star or a role player. It's a big blow for the Giants, but baseball is a tough game and injuries happen." Injuries tend to happen less when a catcher is in the proper position to take a hit, Scioscia explained: "You want to have your knees on the ground and be as loose as you can to absorb the shock of the hit, have that energy just go right through you. You want to keep your body on a little bit of an angle and approach the play from the right field side of the plate. From what I saw, (Posey's) feet got caught behind him, and instead of getting hit and have the runner go through him and send him flying backwards, his foot got caught behind him. When that happens, you're looking at possibly a very serious injury." Scioscia went on to point out that Cousins was going after Posey's torso, not his legs, proving it was just a hard-nosed baseball play by a guy doing his best to get a run for his team. And he thinks it's a misguided notion to think that there should be a rule change to protect catchers. "Tell me how they're supposed to write the rule," he said forcefully. "A runner would have to run in a certain area and not change course during a bang-bang play? Who decides where that area is? And would catchers have an area they aren't allowed to move from? It's just not feasible to change the rules. I can understand why the Giants are so upset he's a great, young player and means a lot to their team. But you can't overreact to an injury caused by a clean baseball play. And that's what it was a baseball play." Should Posey take some of the blame for being out of position and not properly balanced to take a crushing hit? "Blame? There's nothing to blame anyone for," said Scioscia, a member of Commissioner Bud Selig's competition rules committee. "People have to get that stuff out of their heads. Again, it was just a baseball play. Players have very little time to react in those type of situations. It's mostly your instincts that take over, and you can't say 'this guy was wrong' or 'that guy was to blame' on plays like that. Now, if somebody is going out of their way to try and injure another player, you deal with that on an individual basis. But to talk about rule changes doesn't make any sense to me. I'm sure the incident will be reviewed, and I'll be very surprised if anything new is implemented." A catcher who preferred to remain anonymous told me that he was tired of hearing about the whole thing. "Enough is enough. I'm sick of it. And what they're doing to Cousins is ridiculous. Look at the replay. That tells you all you need to know about what actually happened." Was the player intimating that Posey was might have been out of position? "Look at the tape, then you tell me." Well, the tape has been reviewed millions of times by now, and the only things for certain are: 1) Buster Posey broke his ankle during a hard-nosed play at the plate 2) His catching career is in jeopardy, and if you parallel the Kendrys Morales ankle break, it might be a long time before Posey even takes a meaningful swing 3) Cousins was doing what any other player worth his salt would do in that situation, and shouldn't be bashed by baseball executives or receive death threats from idiots 4) MLB's greatest-ever plate blocker sees no need for rule changes. Injuries minor and major are going to happen as long as the game is around. You can't stop them. And if you tell a catcher not to block the plate for fear of injury, you're messing with the beauty and integrity of the game, just as much as steroids and other drugs. Just let the players play baseball. Believe me, they'll figure it out. Been doing it for over 140 years.

By Mrs. Melissa K Buckley (Leonard Wood)December 19, 2013
FORT LEONARD WOOD, Mo. (Dec. 18, 2013) -- Remember, honor and teach was the goal Saturday at cemeteries across the nation and around Fort Leonard Wood as more than 800 communities participated in the Wreaths Across America event.
"Wreaths Across America's mission is to remember, honor and teach people about the sacrifices made by America's servicemen and women. The simultaneous wreath laying at veterans' graves around the world on the same day in December is part of that. It is a way of honoring our veterans and letting people know that we will not forget the sacrifices they have made for us and for the country," said Charles Baxter, Missouri Veterans Cemetery-Fort Leonard Wood director. "It makes me feel very proud, and a little bit humbled, to know that not just the Families of those buried here but the community and Fort Leonard Wood comes together to remember these veterans and to honor them by placing a wreath on their grave."
This is the third year the Missouri Veterans Cemetery - Fort Leonard Wood has participated in the event.
Prior to the service, the wreaths were escorted to the cemetery by officers from the Missouri State Highway Patrol, St. Robert Police Department, Waynesville Police Department and Patriot Guard Riders.
"Trucking companies and drivers across the country volunteer their services in picking up the wreaths and delivering them to over 825 locations," Baxter said.
At the ceremony on Saturday, guest speaker, Brig. Gen. Mark Spindler, U.S. Army Military Police School commandant, had a special message for the gold star Families in attendance.
"To every parent and Family member of those who sacrificed -- you have also made tremendous sacrifice for America. To lose a son, daughter, mother, father, sister or brother is a loss so great that no words can define and no words can heal your sorrow," Spindler said. "Words cannot express our feelings, our gratitude today. Just know that we stand with you. We will always remember, and we honor you for your extraordinary sacrifice for freedom's cause."
He then spoke about the wreaths and the symbolism behind the adornment. Spindler said in ancient times wreaths were often worn as crowns to demonstrate Rome's lineage to great rulers, and today the evergreens symbolize fortitude, unity and the ability to survive the harshest of conditions that lie ahead.
"The simple act, the laying of the wreaths, is also laden with great tradition. The wreaths today, as in yesterday, reflect strong bonds that make us a community. The wreaths, like yesterday, mark the achievements and service of those who now lie here," Spindler said.
"As we leave this sacred place today, the day will surely grow dark, and this place of honor will be seemingly lonely and colder. But, we should take refuge in knowing that these humble servants are not alone, they now stand together in great warmth and light, donning a shining wreath and guarded -- by the heavenly host."
On the same day, in St. James, Mo., more than 750 wreaths were placed at the St. James Veteran's Home Cemetery for Wreaths Across America.
According to the Wreaths Across America website, 406,000 wreaths in total were placed in 2012; 105,000 at Arlington National Cemetery. Last year, there were 815 participating locations all around the country, in all 50 states and at national veterans' cemeteries on foreign soil.
Baxter said he depends on members of the community to make Wreaths Across America a success at the Missouri Veterans Cemetery-Fort Leonard Wood each year.
"I want to say thank you to our families, the local communities, youth organizations like The Pulaski County Young Marines, the Boy Scouts, and Civil Air Patrol, as well as the Soldier volunteers from Fort Leonard Wood who come together to assist our staff in making this ceremony happen. I also want to thank the Assistance Association who have worked so hard in the community to raise funds to help support this," Baxter said.
If you want to contribute next year, Baxter said you can go to the Wreaths Across America website at www.wreathsacrossamerica.org, or by donating the money directly to the Missouri Veterans Cemetery - Fort Leonard Wood Assistance Association.
"Anyone, whether an individual, organization, or business, can make donations. When donating directly to the WAA website the wreath cost is $15, with $10 sponsoring a wreath for our cemetery and $5 going to help supply wreaths to Arlington National Cemetery," Baxter said. "By going through the Assistance Association the full donation goes to sponsor wreaths for our cemetery."

The Fire Safety Management (FSM) Division of the Lakeland Fire Department is headed by Fire Marshal Cheryl Edwards. This division of LFD is crucial to the safety mission of the department because it applies tried and true methods for fire prevention that in turn prevent serious loss of life and property. The division is responsible for:
1) Plans Review
2) Fire Code Enforcement
3) Fire Investigation
Fire Marshal Frank Bass has jurisdiction on fire code and enforcement matters inside the city limits of Lakeland. With the Fire Marshal's oversight, the division is responsible for ensuring the fair and equitable enforcement of statutes, laws, codes, and local fire ordinances. All commercial occupancies and residential occupancies of three units or more fall under the authority of FSM. The authority of FSM is to conduct plans review, code enforcement, fire investigation, and to adopt local fire ordinances from Florida State Statutes.
The Fire Marshal operates the FSM Division with a staff of four, full-time Fire Safety Inspectors, a Fire Investigator/Inspector and an Office Associate. Fire Inspectors are trained firefighters, fire scene inspectors, and in some cases, sworn law enforcement officers.
In 2014, FSM welcomed a new inspector, filling a vacancy left by a retirement earlier in the year. Additionally, the division shifted all of its forms and essential information into an online format for ease of access to the department and to the public.
Code Enforcement:
Commercial building/facility inspections account for a bulk of FSM work. They are conducted for several reasons, some of which are:
A properly conducted fire safety inspection can alert the occupant/owner to any hazards which could possibly lead to a fire. The possible results of a fire in a commercial facility are many and may include injuries, the loss of life, the temporary or permanent loss of company profits, temporary or permanent job loss which affect an entire community as well as the neighborhood blight that may result from a building being shuttered.
The data from incidents in 2014 support the efforts of the department's FSM Division by showing that there was a decrease in commercial fires in LFD's service area. This is in part due to the division's inspectors approximately 5,500 inspections to ensure that fire code is being followed.
The Lakeland Fire Department is committed to excellence in service both internally and externally. The FSM Division interacts most frequently with members of the community and other divisions related to buildings, permitting, and community development due to the related work they all share as Lakeland continues to grow and improve. These interactions were improved through the use of the City's online permitting system 'Track It'.
Plans Review:
The initial step to ensuring that a building will be safe for occupation is to make sure that all fire code requirements have been applied which address fire department access, water supplies, and building life safety features such as fire suppression systems, means of egress, fire alarm systems, and building materials/assemblies which meet industry standards for their applied use.
The types of plans reviewed include concept review plans, site plans, construction plans, sprinkler system plans, fire suppression systems plans, fire alarm system plans, underground fire line plans, above and underground tank plans, specialty plans and plan revisions.
The review of a set of plans may take anywhere from minutes to several days or more depending on the size and complexity of the project. Lakeland saw many large new development projects in 2014 which in turn involved the Fire Safety Management team. Collectively over 2,000,000 new square feet of commercial space were added in 2014; all of which were reviewed for optimal fire safety and supervised for fire code compliance throughout construction. This is notable considering the thousands of inspections the FSM team is responsible for among other duties including fire investigations and enforcement of criminal violation of fire code.
Fire Investigation:
A FSM Investigator is contacted any time a fire event occurs on commercial property, city owned property, a house of worship, a serious injury or fire death, any illegally set fire, any fire where a fire suppression system discharged or did not operate as designed, and any fire where the cause cannot be determined by responding fire units.
Fire scene investigations are conducted in order to determine the events leading up to and the origin and cause of a fire. Fire cause determination may reveal consumer product defects, careless behavior (unattended cooking, carelessly discarded smoking materials, etc.), an intentionally set fire, or the failure of a system inherent to the structure or facility (electrical, heating, air conditioning, manufacturing process, etc.).
The Lakeland Fire Department is unique in that it performs its own investigations and has dual certified investigators and sworn police officers to enforce the law if any arson or other criminal activity is discovered as the result of an investigation. The FSM team rotates on call duties so that an investigator is available at all times to perform the investigations that meet the criteria outlined above. This helps reduce investigation times in the City of Lakeland where an overburdened state fire marshal may not be able to provide as high a quality or timely of an investigation.

It's funny when you start exercising, it's a thrill to feel the endorphin rush, and there are small milestones that are cause for celebration. I've been going to the gym for a year now, and I'm on my way to start my second year. The thing is, I was still making bad choices, and I didn't see the change I was hoping for.
For the past 12 weeks, I was following Alex Savva's program and I LOVED it. I felt amazing and rather impressed that I could lift so much weight. I get it now why body builders are always pushing themselves. I feel like I finally found something that challenges me. I'm not a class girl, and I honestly cannot workout with a partner, it's just not my thing. This is a simple routine, and it gets much harder. I have repeated a few weeks because I was sick and had to start over. I would highly recommend it for anyone looking for a challenge.
I'm now on to another challenge called the FitGirlsGuide #FitKiniChallenge and it's okay. I mean it does make you work, but frankly, I miss the weights. I couldn't resist and I had to do some bicep curls, chest press, and tricep extensions.
Seriously – WHO HAVE I BECOME?! I actually look forward to leg day. I mean I REALLY do.
So, here's what I'm up to. You can follow me on Instagram because I do a mini blog post of the exercises I do in real time.

Lindsay Lohan wearing designer jeans
DenimBlog's Top Ten Denim Divas of 2010
First let's revisit the 2009 DenimBlog Top Ten Diva's here. We are doing the same scoring system as we did last year: counting how many blog posts each celeb had and adding how many times they wore different brands so you can compare the scores from this year to last year as well!
The 2009 list was as follows:
1) Ashley Tisdale score 62
2) Lindsay Lohan score 59
3) Jessica Alba score 49
4) Rihanna score 36
5) Vanessa Hudgens score 34
6) Jennifer Garner score 34
7) Ciara score 32
8′) Megan Fox score 31
9) Heidi Montag score 30
10) Audrina Patridge score 30
This year's list starts off at…
#10) with Ashlee Simpson score 46
Ashlee's style is so retro-ish and almost hippie sometimes. From her high-waisted jeans all the way to showing off her long gams in short-shorts, I really adore how far she has came in our denim world! I hope she broadens her denim collection with some more brands in 2011.
#9) Lindsay Lohan score 51
Lindsay's score is only slightly lower than last year's but she has dropped from #2 to #9 on our list. She was just simply not out and about shopping so much this past year, probably due to her personal issues. We hope she gets those issues sorted and that she can get back to topping our list with her great choice in denim because I certainly miss all that Balmain!
#8) Vanessa Hudgens score 54
Vanessa was #5 on our list last year and I'm sure glad she is back on our list this year. She has such a great sense of style and she wears a lot of different up and coming brands as well. She is quite simply just lovely!
#7) Hilary Duff score 56
Honestly I was surprised that Hilary even made our list at all! She was blogged 37 times wearing 19 different brands!! Hilary is certainly one to start watching in 2011.
#6) Jennifer Garner score 59
Jennifer hits #6 on our list AGAIN this year. You all know how much I adore Jen as I think she is a great mother with a casual sense of denim style. She is on the go a lot so we get to blog her more than a few other celebs; she was actually spotted in 12 different brands this year too.
#5) Kim Kardashian score 72
I'm sure most of you would have guessed Kim was going to be on this list! Kim is certainly a rising star in the celeb world and her denim choices put her as a rising star on our blog. If we went to a top 20 list, I would bet both her sisters would be on there too. I love Kim's unique style and her beautiful curvy body. I wish the paps would get some more shots of her backside in jeans though!
#4) Miley Cyrus score 76
Little Miley…well not so little anymore, she has certainly grown over the last year. She wasn't even on our list last year! Miley was blogged in 20 different brands so she has really widened her denim scope rather quickly as well. She has had some rather risque choices of outfits but it's great to see her try out some different things and learn along the way.
#3) Ashley Tisdale score 81
Last year's denim diva is still close to the top of our list, though she is #3 this year. Ashley is Lorna's favorite celeb in denim and I can see why. Ashley's style very much suits her age group and she is always one for fashion sense.
#2) Jessica Alba score 88
Jessica is my personal favorite denim diva for this year, though she is the runner-up. Jessica's great ensembles always have me clamoring for more. Jessica wore the most different brands of any of our celebs; it makes me think she doesn't do any laundry, she just buys all new clothes! I'm not complaining, I'm just jealous! Even though we have spotted Jessica in 24 different brands this year, she still is missing a few key brands that I would love to see her in. Diesel and True Religion. Maybe in 2011?
#1) Rachel Bilson score 91
Rachel was blogged 73 times in 18 different brands, so she becomes the 2010 DenimBlog Denim Diva! Rachel really has fairly simple, elegant style and she really feels like the girl next door who has great fashion sense. It's hard to believe that she never was even on our list last year but now she is #1 this year! Congrats to Rachel!
Lindsay Lohan in Levi's
Lindsay Lohan was spotted attending her daily AA meeting up at the Betty Ford Center in Rancho Mirage, California. She was wearing the hipster staple, a pair of vintage Levi's cut-offs.
It looks like Lindsay had a secret she's been hiding. No, not admitting her struggles, but her tan line. She was spotted leaving without her socks or just one shoe on to be exact and it looks like she forgot about her "scram tan." She must have realized it later and added a pair of socks to her look. This could be the explanation for her love for socks with shoes lately. Click here to find many similar shorts at UrbanOutfitters.
Lindsay Lohan in Work Custom
Lindsay Lohan was spotted attending her AA meeting up in Racho Mirage, California. She chose to wear a pair of Work Custom Viper jeans in Tsunami. I like the tonal stitching on these. It gives them a slick clean look. Remember when Lindsay didn't wear anything besides leggings? I wonder what made her turn back over to denim again?
In other Lindsay news…it has been reported that she will not be going forward with Inferno. I can understand why because the story is very intense and a lot of self-destruction happens a lot in the film. It can be a lot for someone who is fighting a substance problem and probably cause a 180┬░ again. Were any of you readers looking forward to seeing what was supposed to be Lindsay's comeback role?
Lindsay Lohan in Goldsign
You can never keep La Lohan away from her Goldsign leggings for too long. She was spotted wearing a pair of the Zebra Leggings in Motif for an outing at Rancho Mirage, California. Lindsay seems to love these leggings. She has been spotted in these many times before in multiple washes. They look amazing on her, but I still think they are a bit awkward looking without any pockets. She did style them well though, pairing it with a longer top.
I wonder how many pairs of jeans Lindsay packed for her rehab stay? It doesn't seem like rehab has cramped her style in any way. She has been spotted in a couple of the same pairs as she was spotted before entering. I also wonder if she has gotten any of the new styles that have come out recently. I think the Agnes in Stealth by J Brand is a perfect style for her. Click here to purchase these jeans at ShopBop for $154.

I have a Windows 2008 server connecting to an iSCSI target on an OpenSolaris box (yay ZFS!). I'd like to create a private network between the 2 boxes that is totally separate of my Windows domain.
What is the best way to configure the additional network adapter on the Windows machine so it doesn't think the new subnet is part of the Windows domain? I want to make sure Windows doesn't magically start spewing active directory communications over the private wire and that it doesn't start poisoning the DNS with IPs from the private network.

Is it possible to create a video file (playable in VLC) from a collection of pgm files. I would like to do this in Python.
The easiest way I've found to combine images into a movie is to use ffmpeg. Here's a page on how to do that: http://electron.mit.edu/~gsteele/ffmpeg/
There's a pyffmpeg project, I don't know if it supports this kind of frame sticking-together, but here's the URL: http://code.google.com/p/pyffmpeg/

Location, Minimal, Simple
No bar/room service nor any mentions regarding its absence
The Location
The staff rude. Website gives check in time of noon but actually 3 . Only offer breakfast for one guest per room. Additional guest is 16500 WON. You could purchasef two at any of the ocean side restaurants for less. Room dirty with food found under bed.
I liked the view from my room. The setting of the hotel is amazing.
It would be nice to have hot water and cups for coffee in your room. It would also be nice if they serve something else than whiskey by the bottle and really expensive beer in the sky lounge.
the great and beautiful beach closed to the hotel!
one lift was out of order...
The hotel staff were poor in English. There was one night a certain VIP was holding a birthday party in the hotel room, bunch of people outside, girls screaming until 11 p.m. and the hotel told me they could not do anything to stop them!
The room was very nice, especially the living room/kitchen area
The bed was very hard and the shower leaked
