ANAHEIM -- The A's spoiled the Angels home opener and extended their winning streak to six games with a 9-5 win in Anaheim. It wasn't the prettiest game, but nine runs have a way of masking even the most glaring mistakes.
With the win, the A's will hold first place or a share of first for four straight days. They only spent one day in first place last season, when they beat the Rangers in Game 162.
At the Plate
The A's sent nine batters to the plate in the first inning. Angels' starting pitcher C.J. Wilson retired the first two batters he faced and then fell apart. He walked Jed Lowrie and Yoenis Cespedes and then gave up an RBI single to Derek Norris. Josh Donaldson followed with a single to load the bases and Brandon Moss stroked a two-run single into right field to give the A's a 3-0 lead.
Surprisingly, Coco Crisp didn't factor into the first inning scoring. He saved it for the second frame, when he clubbed his fourth home run in as many games. Crisp also leads Major League Baseball with nine extra-base hits.
The A's offense exploded for five runs in the seventh inning to mask their pitching and defensive deficiencies. John Jaso hit a pinch-hit three-run home run, and Brandon Moss added a two-run shot two batters later to give the A's a 9-5 lead. Moss finished the day with four RBI.
Starting Pitching Report
Wilson wasn't the only pitcher on the mound with control issues. Jarrod Parker only lasted 3 1/3 innings against the Angels. He allowed nine hits and three walks, but only two runs. He threw 74 pitches and 40 strikes.
Parker walked two batters in the first inning and had to pitch his way out of a bases loaded jam. He was able to strikeout Josh Hamilton on three pitches and then get Mark Trumbo to ground into a double play to escape unscathed.
Parker got roughed up in the third inning when he allowed three consecutive singles and two runs. He was removed from the game after hitting Albert Pujols in the back in the fourth inning to load the bases.
Prior to tonight, Parker had been successful in his career against the Angels. He had a 2.60 ERA in four career starts against the Halos before Tuesday.
Bullpen Report
Chris Resop entered the game in relief of Parker with the bases loaded and one out and worked his way out of the jam. He got Hamilton to hit a weak comebacker that he fielded and threw to first. Then Trumbo grounded out to third to end the inning.
Resop allowed one hit over 1 2/3 innings and struck out two batters. He has been absolutely nails in the A's bullpen not having allowed a run all spring and he has yet to give up any runs this season.
Pat Neshek allowed three runs, but only one was earned.
The A's bullpen had to try and work their way through two errors and a misplayed ball hit to right field that ended up being an RBI triple. They ended up giving up the lead in the sixth inning. Neshek, Jerry Blevins and Ryan Cook were initially hampered by their defense.
After the A's took the lead in the top of the seventh, Cook pitched a scoreless bottom half of the inning with two strikeouts. Sean Doolittle pitched a scoreless eighth inning and Grant Balfour pitched a scoreless ninth frame.
In the Field
The A's made back-to-back errors in the sixth inning. Chris Young dropped a fly ball to right field that allowed Mike Trout to score. Even if he caught the ball the run would have scored on a sacrifice fly. On the next play, Jed Lowrie couldn't glove a routine ground ball. Later in the inning, Young took a bad route on a ball hit by Howie Kendrick that ended up an RBI triple.
Young had never played right field in his Major League career and it showed. If Josh Reddick has to miss an extended period of time, Brandon Moss could be an option in right field. He appeared in 13 games in that spot last season for the A's. Seth Smith can also play right field.
Cespedes caught a line drive hit by Hamilton in the third inning and made a strong throw to the Donaldson, who was able to get the ball to first to double off Pujols.
The Angels announced an attendance of 44,014 for their home opener. They called it a sell out but there were a lot of empty seats in the third deck.
Up Next
Tommy Milone (1-0, 2.57 ERA) takes the mound against Joe Blanton (0-1, 7.20 ERA).

I'm a networking newbie and I'm a little bit confused about the difference between the terms:
- Zone
- Sub-network
- Topology
I've seen network diagrams where a business's network was divided into three main "zones", which seemed like just sub-networks: (1) Intranet (private subnet), (2) Extranet (protected subnet) and (3) an Internet with public-facing web servers (public subnet).
My understanding is that you only create these zones/subnetworks when you have a business need to do so (if you don't need an extranet, don't build one!). But within these zones/subnetworks, you structure the devices & nodes according to the topology that makes the most sense.
First of all, if anything I have said so far is incorrect, please begin by correcting me! And if "zone" is different than "subnetwork", please let me know how and why!
Assuming I am more or less understanding the gist of things, what devices are then used to connect zones/subnets with each other? For instance, how what network devices connect a laptop inside the intranet to an FTP server inside the extranet?
I guess at the root of this question is this: I understand that topologies exist at the network/sub-network levels to provide cabling/connection layouts. But in a situation where you have multiple sub-networks connected to one larger network, what topologies/patterns/devices/best practices, etc. apply to inter-subnet communication? Thanks in advance!

Elemental Blog
Elemental Blog
In 2015, two major players in the Canadian communications business, Rogers Communications and Shaw Communications, came together to roll out an exciting new consumer over-the-top (OTT) offering dubbed shomi. An expert team at the subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) service curates content to align with the specific appetites of the Canadian market: currently its video content base includes approximately 1200 movies and more than 10,000 television episodes.
With the goal of scaling to offer a broad range of viewing choices, and to deliver premium content coast-to-coast, shomi sought a cloud-based solution for video processing and delivery. It found one in Elemental Cloud running AWS infrastructure, using Amazon S3 for storage and Amazon CloudFront for content distribution.
When the shomi service launched, it originally employed other encoding and distribution solutions. Yet as the company's experience with Elemental and AWS has grown, so have the benefits of cloud infrastructure, and now the company's operations are fully migrated to Elemental-AWS solutions.
In the last year, the cloud processing and storage that shomi required grew ten-fold. "We have enjoyed Elemental Cloud so much that we have moved all of our content to it," said Augusto Rosa, Senior Director, Head of Video & Network Infrastructure for shomi. "We are preparing video assets nearly 20 percent faster than before, and we are rapidly scaling our offerings and subscriber base." The Elemental Cloud workflow allows shomi to manage, process and package large batches of content for on-demand OTT video delivery. Adaptive bitrate assets are packaged with popular digital rights management schemes and stored on Amazon S3. Shomi uses Amazon S3 and Amazon CloudFront to give high throughput to a broad range of connected devices.
Rosa added: "Thanks to Elemental and its deepening integration with AWS, we plan to use more Elemental and AWS features going forward. This is critical to meeting the growing demand in the Canadian streaming market."
As one of the largest global cinema operators with nearly 850,000 seats across 13 countries, Cinépolis is expanding its theatrical experience with the addition of multi-platform content delivery and an over-the-top TV (OTT) service known as Cinépolis KLIC.
Cinépolis, which was founded in 1971 and is based in Morelia, Michoacán, in Mexico, has 1,200 movie titles on offer for its KLIC service, and is expecting rapid growth as the TVOD service extends the traditional cinema experience beyond the theater. The expansion couldn't be more timely.
The online video services market in Mexico is forecast to reach up to USD $809 million in 2018, representing the largest market in Latin America according to market research firm Dataxis. More than 58 million people in Mexico – approximately 45 percent of the country's population – now access the internet for their news, information and entertainment.
Originally, the Cinépolis KLIC service was set up as a browser-only, standard definition service, available by subscription or transaction. In 2014, the company upgraded the offer to a true TV everywhere experience. That meant supporting multiple resolutions for different devices, multiple audio formats and multiple codecs. It also meant supporting different DRM protection systems, including Widevine and PlayReady.
To deliver high-quality video, Cinépolis uses adaptive bitrate streaming, which requires support for HLS, Microsoft Smooth Streaming and MPEG-DASH. The addition of different subtitles and descriptive metadata makes the content delivery challenge even more complex. Cinépolis also wanted to integrate the KLIC service with the rest of its business and to leverage market-driven cross-promotion: for example, a theater-goer might be offered a free rental from Cinépolis KLIC.
Finally, while intent on enriching services and accelerating time to market, the Cinépolis team wanted to avoid the need to build dedicated infrastructure and incur large capital expenditures. So the company turned to the cloud, allowing it to focus resources on the core business of building a successful service.
Today, an integrated AWS and Elemental solution enables Cinépolis KLIC to deliver a true TV Everywhere platform with movie delivery to customers on a full range of connected devices. Placing all the processing – from storage to CDN – in the cloud allows the solution to be as flexible as possible, responding instantly to peaks and troughs in demand as new content comes available. The result is that Cinépolis maintains tight control over costs, relating them directly to each individual transaction, while providing consistently high technical quality and guaranteed responsiveness. It also gives the company the opportunity to extend the scope of its service at any time.
Currently available in Mexico, the fastest growing OTT market in Latin America, the Cinépolis KLIC service saw seven-fold growth between 2014 and 2015 with the launch of its new, richer and more convenient TV everywhere offering. The company is predicting further six-fold growth in 2016. That is an astounding 42 times more business than just two years ago.
By offloading complex video infrastructure and workflow requirements to AWS and Elemental, Cinépolis is free to focus on extending its OTT and multiscreen content delivery across Latin America and beyond and to do what it does best: distribute premium content to entertain its customers.
STN, or the Satellite Telecommunications Network, has experienced rapid growth since its founding in 2004. The privately owned teleport located on the outskirts of Ljubljana, Slovenia is now recognized as a global provider of broadcast and media solutions, with top ranking from the World Teleport Association (WTA). STN has extensively expanded in the past 11 years and provides high quality services for over 650 TV channels and 300 radio channels for global clients.
STN is gearing up for further expansion to build on this strong foundation to support its next phase, to enter new markets and to diversify its services. According to Anver Anderson, General Manager, STN, the teleport is considering several new opportunities – geographic, vertical industry and services to take advantage of innovative ways of using technology to advance within an ever-evolving industry.
Geographically, STN is uniquely positioned to cover the globe with access to all commercial satellites. The Middle East was one of STN's first markets outside of Europe and it continues to grow. With regard to vertical industry expansion, Anderson cites opportunities with enterprises that span a variety of industries from oil and gas to education to banking as well as offshore ventures.
Overall, there is growing worldwide demand for a broader range of services including IPTV, over-the top (OTT) and direct-to-home (DTH) video delivery. The strategy at STN is to provide more – more services and more capacity – so the company can enable new technologies while using fewer frequencies. These include innovations such as 4K Ultra HD (UHD) content delivery, which takes advantage of high-efficiency video coding (HEVC) while keeping end user costs to a minimum.
Using a unified headend powered by Elemental video processing to deliver both broadcast and OTT TV content allows STN to operate in a way that aligns with the company's "utilize technology, maximize possibility" philosophy. A unified headend enables operational efficiencies on a massive scale. The flexibility, reliability and scalability of software-defined video solutions from Elemental ultimately allow STN to deliver the highest quality video experience to customers around the world.

DM's new cover designs thread
DM's new cover designs
UPDATE APRIL 16/2014: I've moved all custom cover designs to my home hosting network so you may download them. Thanks for the interest and years of support! I've enjoyed providing this service to PST users in the past.
Hi my name is dancingmind, but my friends call me dm for short. So as it was discussed in the OCD covers thread, many are peeved that SONY has changed the way the cases look. I for one welcome the new design because it makes everything look crisper.
It does however make your collection not line up properly and for many that is ANNOYING.
Here is my solution:
The quick "tabs" fix
I designed new PS3 black tabs to replace the red ones of old. This will make your PS3 collection appear the same from the side! It is easy to do and doesn't require a super perfect print job. Just follow these easy steps:
1. Download the PDF and print it
Right click this link and download the linked PDF to your computer. You can print these off at home to customize your cases yourself, OR put it on a USB drive and take it to a printing place to get a better quality print.
2. Cut out the tabs
Like the picture above you can cut out the tabs and make them ready for inserting. DO NOT do what i did in this photo and cut off the top off the tab. The idea is to have a blank white space on the top and then the printed tab at the bottom. This way you can fold the tab and place it in the case. The pictures following will better explain.
3. Place tab into case
Open up the PS3 case. Fold the new tab like the picture above.
Push the tab so that the white part is going behind the original print and the new printed part is under the plastic.
4. Enjoy the awesomeness
The best step.. Look at how they look the same from the side. Joy!
............................. !!!
dm! It doesn't work for all my cases!!!!!!
Okay... it was a quick fix and it won't work for all PS3 cases. See... you need to have enough space so that it doesn't cover the title on the spine. See this example of Uncharted becoming Charted:
And this is when i got into my Custom designed PS3 cases.
A Brief History
This is the first design i did in 2001. If you agree that the North American release is lacking, then you'll understand why i had to fix it. I let designing covers go for a long time after that until I finally joined the new generation of consoles and bought a PS3 slim. Then Sony changed their case design to not match anymore and I was determined to make a template and make my existing titles match the new designs.
Q: Where can I get a copy of one of your designs?!?!
A: Check the list below and see which covers are available to download. Click on the DOWNLOAD link to download a PDF. Bring the PDF to a print house (don't use a crappy home printer!) and pay a couple bucks per print. Sometimes they will charge you for their time too ... which sucks.
Q: I tried printing one of your designs from this thread and it doesn't fit the case
A: What you are seeing in this thread are image samples! They are small filesizes so they will load quickly for everyone to see. You'll want to print a full resolution PDF version available form clicking on DOWNLOAD. They are around 10-20 MBs each and the lettering should be easy to read.
Q: What did you print it on/How much does it cost to print?
It costs about $2.00 CDN to print a cover to print it on good paper. Ask for a semi glossy high quality printed paper. The size you want is called "legal" (8.5" x 14"), but some places will make you print on "tabloid" size (11" x 17"). I used to print at FedEx/Kinkos, but their service and extra fees are awful. Do a search for printing places in your neighborhood and ask questions. Remember you are a customer and they should be willing to help you get the best quality you want.
Q: Why no PAL versions?
A: I live in Canada, so I am used to seeing NTSC cover designs. It's no favouritism, it's just what I am used to.
Q: Are you going to make PS4 or Vita cover designs?
A: It looks like the video game business is moving towards digital media. Even I have started buying more games digitally than physically. I have no plans to keep making cover art for boxes in the future.
Q: Can I request new designs?!
A: I am no longer taking requests for designs. Thanks everyone for your submissions and support. You are free to download all that I have made in the past.
Q: What are you up to now?
A: I work full time in graphic design with emphasis on print/web design and audio/video production. I am enjoying playing video games in my spare time instead of making covers for them. Feel free to send me a friend invite if you'd like to play co-op games online with me (PSN: dancingmind).
Creatively, I am enjoying putting my free time into my band and podcast which you can check out on iTunes for free here.

I have to say your collection looks very smart with matching margins. I'm not that OCD about them though, I've just got the old cases lined up, and then the new ones lined up next to it. Maybe if I'm bored one day. I have one case I won't be able to do it for though - InFamous (Special Edition) as it's cardboard.
Edit: What I would find more annoying than margins that do not match, is opening a case and the new tab that you've added falling out, or moving out of place. That would just add an extra complication, unless of course you're gluing them on..

Custom Design: COD Modern Warfare 2
I had a lot of requests for this game since it is one of the biggest sold game ever. It was a challenge since.... well i don't own the game so I don't actually know what it looks like. Why I don't is another question. Everyone has tastes and like fans of this game may hate LBP, I am the opposite. To each their own... let's move on
The hardest part about this design is it is near impossible to find a complete scan of the PS3 design. I looked everywhere and ultimately came up short. There are a lot of fan remade designs though if you are looking for one to print yourself.
Another fun part was making the logo from scratch. I think I emulated it pretty successfully, but again it's hard to tell without seeing the physical copy for comparison (or even a full page internet scan).
So tell me if I missed something for this design. I am especially curious about the back cover.
Also special thanks to SinRG for supplying the BLUS code on the spine.

I am completely impressed. You put alot of work into this and it looks great.
Doesn't mean I care enough to use it though lol
however with that type of ingenuity and thoroughness I look forward to you writing some trophy guides and walkthroughs.

DM, looks amazing. I think the slip covers are pretty damn efficient, I think I'll go with those instead of full covers. You bring up a solid point about GTA IV though, the holgraphic design is too awesome to re-print lol.
Looking at my collection, the games that won't benefit from new slips--and require spine overhauls--are:
- Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2
- Call of Duty World at War
- Resistance
- Uncharted
Borderlands, using FFXIII as a reference, barely makes the slips lol.
Awesome work man. Even though MGS4 can handle the slip, I perfer your design 100x more.

Hypercom Sues VeriFone Over $290 Million Buyout Bid
Hypercom Corp., a maker of electronic-payment software, sued rival VeriFone Systems Inc. over disclosure of VeriFone's unsolicited $290 million cash buyout offer.
Hypercom's board rejected San Jose, California-based VeriFone's $5.25-a-share bid after the largest maker of electronic-payment equipment made its offer public Sept. 24. Hypercom sued VeriFone in Delaware Chancery Court in Wilmington for violating a confidentiality agreement between the companies.
"Public disclosure of the fact that Hypercom may be subject to an acquisition will irreparably damage Hypercom's ability to attract and retain qualified employees," Hypercom's lawyers said in the Sept. 23 suit. The complaint was filed under seal and made public yesterday at the request of Bloomberg News.
VeriFone, best known for having its credit-card payment devices in New York City taxi cabs, wants Hypercom in order to expand its European business, analysts say. The offer was 24 percent higher than Hypercom's closing stock price on Sept. 23.
VeriFone spokesman Pete Bartolik said in a telephone interview he wasn't familiar with the suit and couldn't immediately comment. Pete Schuddekopf, a Hypercom spokesman, didn't immediately return a call for comment.
Hypercom fell 9 cents, or more than 1.4 percent, to $6.20 at 1:52 p.m. in New York Stock Exchange composite trading. VeriFone rose 58 cents, or 2.1 percent, to $27.98 on the NYSE.
Earlier Target
Hypercom, based in Scottsdale, Arizona, has been an acquisition target in the past. Ingenico SA, a maker of payment terminals, offered $6.25 a share in cash in February 2008 for the electronic-payment software producer.
Ingenico, based in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France, dropped its bid later that month after Hypercom pushed ahead with a purchase of a unit of Thales SA. That deal barred Hypercom from becoming involved in any other buyouts, Ingenico officials said.
VeriFone executives first approached Hypercom about a merger in September 2009, according to court filings. Hypercom agreed to discuss a buyout as long as the talks remained confidential, the suit said.
Last month, VeriFone officials sent a letter to Hypercom executives threatening to take their offer to Hypercom's shareholders, the suit said. The letter came after Hypercom rejected VeriFone's earlier buyout bid.
Making the offer public violated the confidentiality agreement between the two companies, Hypercom's lawyers contend in court filings. The confidentiality provisions were supposed to be in place until 2011, according to the suit.
Hypercom is asking Chancery Judge J. Travis Laster to bar VeriFone from pushing ahead with its "hostile offer," according to the suit.
If Laster allows the offer to proceed, Hypercom's suppliers may persuaded to cut off the flow of components needed to produce the company's products or redirect them to competitors, the company's lawyers said.
The case is Hypercom Corp. v. VeriFone Systems Inc., 5845, Delaware Chancery Court (Wilmington).

Yahoo! Sports, citing league sources, reported that Stefanski and former New Orleans Hornets GM Jeff Bower are the final two candidates for the Toronto opening.
The Raptors are seeking a new GM after Bryan Colangelo opted to leave the post to focus on his duties as team president. Colangelo has said in the past that he could handle both jobs, but would hire a GM if he thought it would be better for the team.
Stefanski is also being targeted for the GM position with the Portland Trail Blazers, according to a report in the Oregonian.
The Raptors are coming off one of the worst seasons in franchise history, having gone 22-60.

Hi all
I'm becoming mad trying to make a blog multilingual.
I've installed qtranslate but there are some issues that I can't solve
1) The template I use (HATCH) let the bio of each user (throught the admin panel) visibile in the blog when I click into the "author" link, in the bottom of the page. There's no other way to see the text and info of each author but this.
The problem is that the admin bio it's not translable, as normal posts, from the user panel. Is there a way to let the system to translate also this section?
2) It was very simple to translate posts, pages, categories etc.
But till now I can't manage to let the other stuff in the web site to be translated, e.g. I want the word "Authors" and "Categories" translated in italian.
I've tryed everything, I've uploaded the it_IT files into wp-content\languages root and hatch\languages root, checked with poedit the files, and verified that the translations for those terms are present. But there's no way to show it.
Can someone help me?
PS by now I've uninstalled qtranslate

I have installed 3.5 multisite at godaddy in the root folder of thegalabouttown.com (site1, let's call it). I had no problem getting multisite enabled, and can get into site1 and post, add plugins, install themes, the works.
My hope, however was to be able to use multisite to host several sites, each with their own distinct URL (site1.com, site2.com, etc.)
However, when I create a second site (site2) astoriawhiskeysociety.thegalabouttown.com and then set the domain for this site as just astoriawhiskeysociety.com (registered with godaddy and pointing at the thegalabouttown.com root folder), I can't get in to the new site!
When I try to go to the site2 dashboard I get a login screen that, when I enter my Super Admin name and password, resets and asks for it all over again. I've cleared cookies and ALL browser data, tried it in multiple browsers, and...blurg.
I can create users for site2, but I just can't get into the dashboard.
I've seen similar issues elsewhere in the forums, but I can't seem to find a fix. I would appreciate any guidance!

The guy throwing Gronk those touchdowns weighed in on the additions to the spikes."I think it was mixed reviews," Brady said. "He's too much man. I just like his spike but I guess he's adding some personality to it."Tom is entitled to his own opinion. Here are my thoughts on Gronk's Sunday celebrations.First, Gronk decided to spice up the spike stew with a very creative United Kingdom-related pre-spike march. As Gronkowski himself explained it, he was trying to replic...

AHMABADAD, India (AP) -- A court in India has convicted 31 Hindus
of killing dozens of Muslims by setting a building on fire during one of India's worst rounds of communal violence nine years ago.
An additional 41 Hindus were acquitted of murder charges for lack of evidence.
The judge will sentence those convicted later this week. They face the death penalty.
