When an athlete reaches a certain milestone, they know that they have made the most out of their career. Whether it be an accomplishment like hitting 500 home runs in your career or tossing your 3,000th strikeout, reaching a milestone means you have had such a successful career that you can now join an elite club of men who completed the same task you did. However, there are some milestones that were a lot easier to reach long ago, but may never be reached again. Here are five milestones that we will likely never see again:
300 Wins
Only 24 men in the history of baseball have reached this milestone. The last pitcher to reach 300 wins was "The Big Unit," future Hall of Famer Randy Johnson. Only four pitchers have reached this milestone since the year 2000, but all four of those pitchers have been pitching since the 80s. Reaching 300 wins used to be a lot easier, especially in the early days of baseball, because teams simply didn't carry nearly as many pitchers. Some guys, like Cy Young, would pitch every day. That explain why Cy Young has 573 career wins. However, pitchers don't play that many games a year anymore. To win 300 games, a pitcher would have to win 15 games a year for 20 seasons, or vice versa. Being that a starting pitcher only gets between 28 and 32 starts a year, it is hard to get such a high win total in one season. For a pitcher to stay dominant for such a long span of time isn't practical like it used to be. Coaches and managers don't let their aces tire themselves out anymore, so it is highly unlikely that a player will ever reach this milestone again. Andy Pettite of the Yankees is closest to reaching this milestone, as he sits on 255 wins, but he would have to pitch at least a few more seasons to get to 300, which is unlikely. CC Sabathia has 200 wins, and at only 33-years-old may have enough left in the tank to make it to 300, but CC doesn't pitch like he used to. Some analysts say that Justin Verlander might make it to 300, but it is hard to imagine that any player can perform at his level long enough to reach this milestone.
300 Strikeouts in a Single Season
300 is a hard number for pitchers to reach in many categories. Only two pitchers have thrown 300 strikeouts in a season since the year 2000. Randy Johnson has done this five times in his career and Curt Schilling three, but only five of those times occurred in this millennium. Justin Verlander has come closest out of all active pitchers, striking out 269 batters in 2009. Time Lincecum made a go at 300 in 2008, and 2009 but ended each season with only 265 and 261 strikeouts, respectively. The reason no pitcher will reach this milestone is because they simply don't get the innings that pitchers used to get. Pitchers used to hit double digits year after year when it came to complete games. Now, a quality start is considered to be a six-inning, three-run performance. Guys max out nowadays at around 230 innings per season, so to throw 300 strikeouts in that many innings would take an insane amount of talent and skill that baseball hasn't seen since Nolan Ryan. Like the 300 wins milestone, this milestone won't be reached simply because of how the game has evolved from the days of old.
100 Stolen Bases in a Single Season
The days of triple digit stolen base totals are long gone. No player has stolen at least 100 bases in a season since Vince Coleman stole 109 bases in 1987. The closest an active player has come to eclipsing this milestone was in 2007 when Jose Reyes stole 78 bases. That ranks him tied for 70th on the all-time single season stolen base record chart. Managers don't play the fundamentals like they used to. Baserunners are told more and more to hold their base, because the manager is worried about players being thrown out, which could ruin a run-scoring opportunity. While there have been guys who are known as stolen base threats (Jose Ryes, Jacoby Ellsbury, Juan Pierre, etc.), they can't reach this milestone because they aren't making their own decisions on the base paths. First and third base coaches tell players when to steal and when not to steal, and no coach gives a player the green light enough to steal 100 bases. Back in the day, players like Lou Brock and Ricky Henderson stole every time they got on base. Whether they were thrown out or safe, they made the attempt, because far more times than not, they were safe. Players aren't given the opportunity to make their own decisions anymore, so this milestone will likely never be reached again.
Hit Above .400 for the Season
This is a milestone I am positive will never be reached again. No player has hit above .400 since 1941, when the great Ted Williams batted .4057 for the season. All of the players who had a season where they eclipsed the .400 mark did so in the late 19th and early 20th century. Back then, pitchers simply weren't as good as they are now. Games were higher scoring and men got on base more. The closest a player has come to the .400 mark in recent memory was when Tony Gwynn batted .3938 in 1994. Gwynn may have only been a little more than six points away, but six points translates into a handful of hits. The closest any active player has come was in 2000 when Todd Helton batted .3724, a task that Nomar Garciaparra also completed in the same year. Pitchers nowadays are just so talented and don't get tired as easily as they used to, due to the depth of a teams' bullpen and the use of a five-man rotation. As of late, players can win batting titles by batting somewhere between .330 and .360, which is ways away from the .400 mark. If a player's has 600 at bats in a season, they would need 240 hits to have a batting average of .400, and I simply don't see that happening.
Get Hit by 30 or More Pitches in a Season
This milestone may not seem as important as the other ones, but getting hit by a pitch is just as good as hitting a single. As recently as 2004, Craig Wilson was hit 30 times in a season. Chase Utley came close to 30 in 2008, but missed the mark by three, ending the season with 27 hit by pitches. Players don't take one for the team like they used to. Guys like Ron Hunt and Craig Biggio were famous for being hit by pitches. They were afraid to turn in or lean over the plate, because they knew the important of getting on base. Now, players are too scared to intentionally get hit by a pitch, and managers and coaches are too afraid to let them. Out of any of the milestones on this list, this one has the best chance of being reached, but in a day and age where trainers take the field if a player stubs his toe, I don't see it happening.
What do you think of this list? Are there any active players that can reach one of these milestones? Are there any other milestones that will never be reached? Share your thoughts. Comment below!

Hungary Needs to Maintain Its Economic Policies, Matolcsy Says
Hungary needs to maintain its economic policies as it seeks a precautionary credit line from the International Monetary Fund, Economy Minister Gyorgy Matolcsy said.
"There's no chance we will change our economic policy, there's no need for that," Matolcsy said in an interview on public television M1 late yesterday.
Hungary, which announced last week it wanted an agreement with the Washington-based lender, wants a "precautionary" credit line to use only if the European debt crisis "deepens much more than currently seen," Matolcsy said.
Hungary may need to lower its economic growth forecast of 1.5 percent for 2012 as the government, the IMF and the European Union all agree that growth is the country's "biggest risk," according to Matolcsy. The government will wait for Germany to modify its growth outlook first, he said.

Brookfield East first-year baseball coach Nicholas Wycklendt didn't have a lot of experienced players coming back and had only two seniors on the squad.
But the Spartans managed to win nine games and were in plenty more, finishing 9-19 with a 5-15 record in the Greater Metro Conference, including a 3-0 record in the GMC Tournament's consolation round.
"I thought it went really well," Wycklendt said. "I knew with six sophomores and seven juniors it would be tough to be really successful. But it was really good for the guys to go 3-0 in the GMC Tournament and play some tight games against some of the best teams in the state."
It was an up-and-down season, which could be expected from a young, inexperienced team. Here's a closer look:
They began with a two-game winning streak, then lost four in a row. Then they won three in a row, giving them a 5-4 record.
Then they lost nine of 11 games to fall to 7-13. And they followed that up with a five-game losing streak before beating Wauwatosa East, West Allis Hale and Oak Creek in the consolation round.
They lost a tight decision, 4-2, to Catholic Memorial in the first round of the WIAA Regional to end their season.
Their losses included 2-1 and 4-0 decisions to State Champion Brookfield Central and lost close games to co-champs Oak Creek (5-1) and Marquette (2-1).
"Even though we were inexperienced, we played the good teams well. Nobody 10-runned us," Wycklendt said.
The Spartans had three players earn All-GMC honors — one senior and two juniors.
Alex McGuire earned a second-team spot in the outfield and Andrew Holmes and senior Brad Carstens earned honorable mention honors in the infield and at pitcher, respectively.
As for the team awards, Carstens and McGuire shared the Team MVP honors. The Sliver Slugger Award went to Holmes and the Cy Young Award went to Carstens.
The Coaches Award went to sophomore Travis Styer, who injured his knee and had to miss the season. But he came to every practice and did anything he could to help out Wycklendt and the coaching staff.
Carstens and Dustin Brah were the Spartans' only two seniors, and they were their top two pitchers.
So Wycklendt will be loaded next season with 13 returnees.
Returning juniors will be McGuire, Holmes, Dan Magyar, Brandon Werry, Joe Morris and Jake Pagel. Returning sophomores are Zach Breider, Nick Davies, Quinn Hyndiuk, Jake Smith, Noah Streich, Styer and T.C. Swittel.
"We continued to improve," Wycklendt said. "We have 13 kids coming back and they are all experienced. Our hitting and fielding should be improved.
"Brad (Carstens) and Dustin (Brah) were our two top starters, so we will have to replace them."

How to prepare your walls for decorating
Walls almost always need some surface preparation before you can start painting. Even brand-new plaster needs sealing. You should fill any cracks and holes and make sure all surfaces are clean, smooth and dry. You can paint over emulsion-painted surfaces that are in good condition, but make certain you strip back or sand off any peeling paint.

If you're painting on bare wood, plaster or metal surfaces, you'll get a better result if you use a primer first. It provides a surface which the paint can bond to and stops the paint being absorbed. Find out more what you need and for what surface.

Hareidi-religious rabbis and organizations in North American filed suit, Thursday, against a New York City health regulation requiring written parental consent for Metzitz B'Peh, a custom in which the person performing ritual circumcision sucks blood from the cut and spits it out.
The plaintiffs claim the regulation violates their freedom of religion. The health department claims the practice exposes the newborn infants to a potentially deadly Herpes virus.

We've talked often about the tough spot the Kansas City Chiefs are in with the No. 1 pick overall pick this year.
The Chiefs badly need a quarterback, but to this point, nobody at the position has shown he is worthy of being the top pick. There are some good players at the top of this draft. But the problem for Kansas City is that none are at need positions for the Chiefs.
The top of the draft is stocked with pass-rushers. That is one of Kansas City's greatest strengths. There is a potential fit at left tackle in the form of Luke Joeckel. That will only be the case, though, if the Chiefs don't re-sign free-agent left tackle Branden Albert. The Chiefs are interested in keeping Albert.
Right now, I think the Chiefs' best option would be to draft Utah defensive lineman Star Lotulelei. Many scouts think he can be a dominant 3-4 defensive end. Lotulelei is an impact player.
It might behoove the Chiefs to try to trade down to add picks and to get a player at a need position lower in the draft. That will not be easy to do since there isn't expected to be a hot trade market at the top of the draft because of the lack of quarterbacks. Still, let's look at a few natural fits for the Chiefs:
Dee Milliner, Alabama, CB
Possible draft range: 7-12
Why he fits the Chiefs: He's the top cornerback available and would likely start right away for the Chiefs.
Geno Smith, West Virginia, QB
Possible draft range: 8-15.
Why he fits the Chiefs: He is currently considered the best quarterback prospect. That can change. Someone could leapfrog Smith, or he could show scouts enough to move up the board.
Alec Ogletree, Georgia, ILB
Possible draft range: 10-20
Why he fits the Chiefs: Three Kansas City linebackers made the Pro Bowl. Adding a stout inside linebacker to this 3-4 look could give Kansas City the best 3-4 linebackers in the NFL. Ogletree is zooming up the draft board and he may have passed Manti Te'o as the best prospect at inside linebacker.
Cordarrelle Patterson, Tennessee, WR
Possible draft range: 15-20
Why he fits the Chiefs: The Chiefs will badly need a receiver if Dwayne Bowe leaves as a free agent. This isn't a great year for receivers in the draft. Patterson has big potential, but he is raw.
Thus, there are three options for the Chiefs: Keeping the pick and going with a top player who can help immediately in Lotulelei; taking a big risk and taking Smith at No. 1 one; or trading down, getting some extra picks and taking a player at a need spot in the appropriate pick range.


text: Okay, so it only took me two solid days not a week. PlayOrm in master branch now supports virtual CF's or virtual tables in ONE CF, so you can have 1000's or millions of virtual CF's in one CF now. It works with all the Scalable-SQL, works with the joins, and works with the PlayOrm command line tool. Two ways to do it, if you are using the ORM half, you just annotate @NoSqlEntity("MyVirtualCfName") @NoSqlVirtualCf(storedInCf="sharedCf") So it's stored in sharedCf with the table name of MyVirtualCfName(in command line tool, use MyVirtualCfName to query the table). Then if you don't know your meta data ahead of time, you need to create DboTableMeta and DboColumnMeta objects and save them for every table you create and can use TypedRow to read and persist (which is what we have a project doing). If you try it out let me know. We usually get bug fixes in pretty fast if you run into anything. (more and more questions are forming on stack overflow as well ;) ). Later, Dean

Then A Matriarch popped up once...up til that point I'd only seen the basic swarmer bugs..the flying shooters..monarchs, warriors and the stalagmite looking shooters . I don't remember all the names despite killing hundreds..lol. I find the game enjoyable enough that I had to force myself to take 2 days off ..at least for my back's sake. I really need a better chair for my PC desk. Anyway..tonight I will play again.
Yeah when your in the nooby areas you seem to be locked into events revolving around the easier mob types. Once you get deeper into the game different mobs appear (you still get a lot of dynamic roadblocks, but with harder mobs) and then once you cross into sanfranciso things change a LOT.
Also dont rush yourself, try to get silver in all the challanges you pass, and try to do all the <!> side missions. If not youll be going back when you want to unlock pursuits and the outfits for them....though its a nice change of pace from san fransicso, which can get stressful.

What's up with all these 20 hrs of gameplay statements? Clearly you're playing a different game here. I'm at 40-50 hrs played (around Ego lvl 360+) and I haven't even touched PvP yet or done any of the time trials (killing or racing) and I haven't completed the Main Quest Line, Episode Missions, or all the Side Missions yet (although I'm nearing the end with quests). Granted I stop and do most of the public quests I find in the environment (kill the hellbugs, save prisoners, rescue hostages etc etc). All considred though even if I don't play another minute I feel like I got my $60 worth.
Good for you, glad you feel like you got your money's worth. However for a lot of us we don't feel like we did. I finished the main quest fairly fast at around EGo 350. I was 600 when I uninstalled. So yes I did the main story, almost all the side quests, every race, ran the buggy (crahsed all the time) co-op missions, tried to PvP which is a totally seperate discussion on how badly PvP can be implemented in a game and now I am done. One week into a new MMO and I feel like I have seen everything there is to see, so I feel I'm out my $60.
I actually pre-paid for the Season pass because it was on sale from Steam and so I guess I will eventually come back to try some of that out but for now $80 into the game and feel like I got taken.
I had free time around release and was able to play the game completely in completely no-life mode the first three days.
I finished the Missions, side quests, and got gold medals on all challenges in that time.
After that for a short while, i was dissapointed that it was "over" but had a lot of fun and with about 35 hours spend, totally thought it was worth box price.
That dissapointment went away though, I'm now going for pursuits/achievements collecting hidden things throughout the game, doing arkfalls and instances, and hunting shops for good deals and I'm having a blast.
I still think the game shouldn't be considered a MMO, I see it as a singleplayer game with optional grouping, people might as well be NPC's as no one ever says a thing, but yes - I definitely enjoy the game, and would recommend it if it looks appealing to you, It has a massive amount of flaws like It's consolified interface, crappy chat, crappy voice chat, and bugs like not being able to join certain instances for day on end, but in the end, I'm having Tons and tons of fun with the game, and assuming these things will be fixed over time, its totally worth it.
Tormented echoes of a fallen Eden
I longed for her beauty
Yet from dust, she returned
The dream, an enigma.... silent
I would actually say I enjoy this game more now than I did at launch, just becuase I now understand the weapon system enough to see the possibilities of different loadouts.
Shooting things in the head with a sniper never tends to get old either, I love it.

Swamp White Oak (quercis bicolor I believe) Does very well here and I have
heard it transplants well like you say. I hope to get 200 bare root swamp
white oaks in the ground this spring. White Oaks are the best of the oaks
here in Delaware in my opinion and one of my favorite trees to rope climb.
The large curved branch structure on specimens 100 years old or older are
beautiful to look at and the most fun to climb. There is very little that
compares to the feeling of being 70 or 80 feet up in a tree and looking down
and seeing the large leaders including the one you are climbing on gently
bending in the breeze. Very few get to see a tree from this perspective and
of those few even fewer really appreciate these large plants for what they
are and how intertwined trees are with humans past, present and future.

Don't question it! Saturday's event - and after-party at the Corcoran Gallery - brought out the glam. Advertisement The Good (With the caveat that First Ladies have an unfortunate habit of not walking red carpets, but from what we can see Michelle's gown would be in here): Hamm and Westfeldt: the golden couple. Keisha Whitaker, gown are absolutely stunning. Too bad her hubby's hand gives the "covering-stain" effect. Padma Lakshmi's diaphanous rags/riches looks amazing...on her. For those who thought they were officially over Grecian (raises hand), Demi and Ashton may change your mind! This may be controversial, but I think Eva Longoria Parker's blushing gown is fun and lovely. Connie Britton is simple, elegant. Mellody Hobson looks stunning. George Lucas looks like he has a big ranch full of effects. The Bad: Donatella Barbie. Nuff said. I like to think a flock of magical birds came down and clothes Mariska Hargitay, like in the original, creepy "Cinderella," the one where the stepsisters chop their toes off. Actually, it's totally growing on me. Suzanne Malveaux's stiff gift-wrap of a frock does the form few favors. Meghan McCain channels... Haight Ashbury maternity? Why?! What Say You? I wish we had a full-length of Alicia Keys, but am curious to know what ye oracles think of her black and white graphic? So when my boyfriend looked over my shoulder he said, "Looks like Alan and Andrea's choices in fashion equal their financial prognostications." He then said something about "cruise-wear." Mean!

Arrested on a Monday, bond hearing on Tuesday. Remained in jail b/c family didn't have money to bond out. New hearing 10 days later to have case dismissed and moved to another court. Direct indictment at the dismissal but no new bond hearing date set.
If he has been indicted it means he has been formally charged. If he is not bonded out, he will remain in custody until after a trial or a dismissal.
He most likely won't get a new bond hearing unless his attorney requests one. Once a person is arrested the State has 14 days to bring him to preliminary hearing (judge determines if they have enough to charge him) or grand jury. Keep in mind that just because a jury indicts or judge finds enough evidence to charge does not mean he will be convicted. After arrest the initial appearance is typically done in Municipal Court and stays in municipal court until preliminary hearing or indictment. The Judge will set the original bond pursuant to their bond schedule. If a person is indicted by grand jury or bound over from preliminary hearing the case is transferred to the Common Pleas Court. The next step after that is the court will hold an arraignment usually within a week after the indictment. The Arraigning judge will most likely continue the bond unless the attorney can get a bond reduction. This is why it is very important to get this person an attorney asap so they can start working on the case and bond. Good luck.

Around this time last year, I was wrapping up a national bus tour to galvanize support for long-term transportation funding. Ten years of short-term extensions to our Highway Trust Fund had left roads and bridges in bad shape – congestion was choking economic growth, business owners were finding it harder to ship their goods, and everyday folks were finding it harder to get to work.
So I hit the road to spread the word. After two bus tours and visits to leaders in 43 states, I'm happy to say that we finally received a long-term bill – the Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act.
Today we began rolling out changes to the Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act, known as TIFIA, that were mandated by the FAST Act. These changes will allow the Department to expand the types of projects and applicants eligible for TIFIA credit assistance, while also working to streamline the credit review process.
They will allow us to support even more projects with even less money – projects like the Presidio Parkway in San Francisco, the new U.S. 301 in Delaware, and the Cooper River Bridge Replacement in Charleston.
My grandfather worked as a railroad Pullman porter helping to move U.S. troops across the country during World War II. My father and husband both served in our armed forces. As someone who has been surrounded by veterans my entire life, I understand how valuable the strong work ethic, self-discipline and commitment of military service members are to our Nation's economy.
I was reminded of this earlier today when I attended this year's Washington Women Speak: Celebrating Women in Military. These highly esteemed women shared their inspiring personal stories of leadership and accomplishment during their military experience.
I'm proud to work at an Agency that actively creates opportunities for America's veterans. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is involved in several initiatives aimed at helping veterans find post-military careers across the truck and bus industries.
At DOT, we see that innovative ideas and new technologies are offering us an opportunity to improve safety in all modes of transportation.
We also know that the U.S. aviation industry is on the leading edge of generating many of these new technologies and products. In recent years, manufacturers have developed robust and increasingly affordable products that can offer pilots sophisticated weather information and increased situational awareness, along with other safety devices such as seatbelts with built-in airbags.
I've been spending a great deal of time talking about how government must work hard to keep up with innovation coming out of the private sector. Both DOT and FAA are mindful of the fact that technology is moving at a pace that requires the government to adopt a fresh, agile, forward-looking regulatory framework to accommodate the industry's efforts to incorporate the latest technologies into its products.
This is especially important when it comes to aviation. We have the largest and most diverse general aviation community in the world and its overall health is vital to the U.S. economy.
Summary: Yesterday, DOT announced that $2 billion in unspent earmarks can be freed up for states to use for new investments in infrastructure. This is an important milestone in ending the use of earmarks and investing in U.S. infrastructure – but more remains to be done.
Yesterday, the U.S. Department of Transportation announced that roughly $2 billion can be freed up for states to use for rebuilding our nation's transportation system. All of this funding was previously unspent "earmarks" that were more than a decade old, so yesterday's action takes potentially wasteful pork barrel spending stuffed into transportation bills by Congress and puts it to good use. Instead of sitting idle, these funds will now be available to help improve our infrastructure, keep drivers safe, and provide opportunities for communities nationwide.
These steps build on actions that began in the earliest days of the Obama Administration, when the President worked together with Congress to change the way that business is done in Washington - by increasing transparency and accountability for the way that taxpayer dollars are spent, including helping end transportation earmarks. Today, those efforts are yielding real results. Clearing out this legacy backlog of earmarks frees up stranded dollars to repave roads, fix bridges, or build new interchanges, which will create jobs and lay the foundations for long-term economic growth. Yesterday's action also builds on a similar action taken in August 2012, when USDOT made over $470 million in unspent earmarks immediately available to states for projects that create jobs and help improve transportation across the country.
As March 8 is International Women's Day, I'd like to highlight a number of women in aviation who are making a real difference in our field.
But first, it's worth mentioning that the Women in Aviation International (WAI) conference takes place later this week in Nashville. WAI has a partnership with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to support each other's respective missions, and I've borrowed this year's WAI theme --Connect. Engage. Inspire.-- to frame my examples...
U.S. ports and our marine transportation system – and the hardworking men and women behind these operations – are essential drivers of the American economy. Every day, our ports and waterways handle millions of tons of domestic and international cargo, including food and agricultural products, petrochemicals, and automobiles. In 2014 alone, $1.7 trillion worth of U.S. goods moved through our ports, representing 75% of imports and exports by weight.
But ports, like our highways and bridges, face challenges. As a country, we are investing too little, and as container ships grow larger and larger, more cargo must be unloaded into increasingly tight spaces. And ports face unique operational challenges as they move ever-expanding volumes of cargo between ships, trucks and rail lines. Today, not a single U.S. container port is in the top 15 container ports globally according to the Journal of Commerce. Expanding trade will continue to put pressure on the existing system, increasing congestion and threatening U.S. economic competitiveness; looking forward, the demand to move goods and raw materials on the U.S. transportation system is predicted to increase by 45 percent by 2040.
To support U.S. competitiveness in a global economy, it is essential that we expand, upgrade, modernize and maintain our maritime transportation infrastructure and strengthen our workforce. That's why the Obama Administration has been working to identify opportunities to increase investment in U.S. ports. Recently, the Department of Transportation (DOT) announced $800 million in available funding for the nation's freight network and highlighted the opportunity for investments in 21st century ports...
Over the last weekend in February, more than 50 app developers, data experts, and civic hackers came together in Washington, DC, to help address barriers to opportunity in the Baltimore-Washington region. During the "Celebrating the Cities – Hack the Last Mile" hackathon, participants built apps, websites, and data visualizations that shed light on the mobility challenges facing lower-income Baltimore and DC residents.
Acting DOT Under Secretary for Policy Carlos Monje welcomed participants on Friday night, sharing the Department's vision of the critical role transportation plays in connecting Americans to economic opportunity.
Following his keynote, I joined Stephanie Gidigbi, our Director for Strategic Initiatives; Adam Rogal, head of Uber's API team; and Zuhairah Washington, Uber's DC General Manager, for a panel discussion. We explained our goals for the hackathon and encouraged attendees to be creative and solution-oriented as they worked through the weekend developing innovative approaches that might improve access to opportunity...
Hackathon winners Team Happy Home.
Proper training is critical for entry-level commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers. Currently, no universal training standards exist for new CMV drivers, but this will soon change.
Today, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) that reflects the recommendations of a "negotiated rulemaking" committee and responds to a congressional mandate imposed under the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) to establish comprehensive national minimum training standards for entry-level truck and bus drivers seeking to obtain a commercial driver's license (CDL).
The latest freight projections are in from our Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) and Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), and they show that the number of freight tons moving on America's transportation network is likely to grow by 40 percent in the next 3 decades while the value of freight will almost double, increasing by 92 percent. This affirms the projections in our Beyond Traffic study and reinforces the need to boost our freight capacity and unleash the full power of our nation's economy.
Over the last few years, DOT has issued historic consumer rules protecting the rights of the flying public. And today, we took one more step toward ensuring better treatment of passengers by finalizing a rule that explicitly bans the use of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) on commercial flights.
The rule applies to all scheduled flights of U.S. and foreign airlines flying in, to, and from the U.S.
While DOT has viewed its current regulatory smoking ban to be sufficiently broad to include the use of e-cigarettes, the prior rule did not explicitly define "smoking." We took this action to eliminate any confusion between tobacco cigarettes and e-cigarettes by applying the same restrictions to both...

Eugene M. Luks
Eugene Michael Luks (born circa 1940)[1] is an American mathematician and computer scientist, a professor emeritus of computer and information science at the University of Oregon. He is known for his research on the graph isomorphism problem and on algorithms for computational group theory.
Professional career[edit]
Luks did his undergraduate studies at the City College of New York, earning a bachelor's degree in 1960,[2] and went on to graduate studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, earning a doctorate in mathematics in 1966 under the supervision of Kenkichi Iwasawa.[3] He taught at Tufts University from 1966 to 1968, and at Bucknell University from then until 1983, when he joined the University of Oregon faculty as chair of the computer and information science department.[1] He retired in 2006,[4] but was recalled in 2012–2013 to serve as interim chair.[5]
Awards and honors[edit]
In 1985, Luks won the Fulkerson Prize for his work showing that graph isomorphism could be tested in polynomial time for graphs with bounded maximum degree.[1] In 2012 he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.[5][6]

Will you move from the sandy stone
up above the canyon soar.
Towards the Apache land
to the barron desert sands.
Out of the shooters barrell
to the dusty graves outside the town.
Seek him there , his soul to bare
and catch him in your eternal snare.
For now no more,
when the clock strikes dawn
will this gunmans pistol forever draw.

Interesting. It paints a lovely picture. Again uniquely imaginative and excellent imagery. Though I must be honest and confess that it fell short for me, especially from liking the title and summary so much, lol. It still was good, but I thought it would be my favorite of yours based on the description, but I think I like the other two better, even though this is more along the lines of the subject matter that I normally like. I learned a long time ago that not everyone loves everything and everyone loves something different. Hope this has helped you in at least some way. And look forward to reading and hearing more from you in the future. :o)
This is good. The words used flow well together and I like the fact you don't follow a set structure. The images created through the words used are easily pictured. From the description, I thought it would be a little more... dark and deep, but I enjoyed this, too. Good job :)

The problem with pinned snapshots is that they are not propagated to mirrors, and so by using one of them in a release we basically increase the chances that the codeline will not be buildable in the future. We would need to add the artifacts into the local repository module to avoid this problem. Just because we use the explicit timestamp-buildnumber version for this artifact doesn't mean its not longer a SNAPSHOT, because in reality it is still a SNAPSHOT, in a transient repository and for all we know could be removed tomorrow. I hope that we can give long lives to our release tags, so that months or years later one could check one out and it would build. If we allow bits like pinned snapshots into a release we most certainly cut the build-ability life of the release much shorter. --jason On Mar 31, 2007, at 8:10 AM, Dain Sundstrom wrote: > If it works with the latest release we can switch to that; > otherwise IMO a pinned snapshot is fine.

Outlook for the UK over the next 6-30 days
UK Outlook for Tuesday 28 Feb 2017 to Thursday 9 Mar 2017:
A fairly unsettled picture is likely at first, as further weather systems affect the UK from the Atlantic. Sunshine and showers are likely for many areas at first. Further frontal zones then bringing cloudier, wetter weather, particularly in the north west; with some snow over northern hills. Feeling colder than of late, especially further north, with temperatures closer to average in the south. The changeable Atlantic influence could remain in place through early March, with stronger winds and rain more likely in north and western areas; drier and brighter further south and east, but temperatures returning to around normal. There is a smaller probability of more settled conditions developing on the continent, which could bring a greater risk of overnight fog and frost particularly for eastern UK.
Updated at: 1259 on Thu 23 Feb 2017
UK Outlook for Friday 10 Mar 2017 to Friday 24 Mar 2017:
For the rest of March signals are weak and confidence is low. There could be spells of wet and windy weather, interspersed with brighter and showery conditions with some snow possible across the north of the UK. There could, however, also be some drier and brighter spells, particularly in the south and east where we may see some local frost and fog at times overnight. Temperatures are expected to be around average for the time of year but there remains a small chance of seeing a more prolonged cold spell, if settled conditions were to develop more widely. This is more likely later in the period.

Vallea stipularis (capuli)
Vallea stipularis
Species information
Vallea stipularis L.f.
capuli, pera-caspi (Spanish-Quechua name meaning 'hard pear')
Not known to be threatened.
Forest and scrub, along forest margins, and in páramo (grassland) vegetation above the cloud forest.
None known.
About this species
For a long time Vallea stipularis was thought to be the only species in the genus Vallea, which is named in honour of the Italian botanist Felice Valle (d. 1747), who wrote an early account of the flora of Corsica. Then, in 1988, a second species was discovered in Ecuador and described as V. ecuadorensis. Vallea stipularis is a shrub or a tree with hairless ovaries and styles, whereas V. ecuadorensis is a climbing shrub or tree with densely velvety ovaries and styles.
Vallea stipularis has been cultivated in Europe since 1928, but is rather frost-tender, so has never become common. It is usually grown against a wall or in a cool, shady greenhouse.

When it comes to children's books, it is always good to have in it a good dose of reality. Children will benefit from reading about things that can actually be applied in real life, and not just reading about stories full of pure fantasy and whimsy. Countdown to Kindergarten is one such book and it's a great read for every child who is about to embark on one of the great chapters of life: beginning grade school. I borrowed this book, and a few other Kindergarten themed books from the library a few weeks before school opened to help Z.E.N. with some pre – Kindergarten jitters.
Countdown to Kindergarten describes the anxieties of a little girl who is about to start kindergarten and is counting the last 10 days before classes start. The main cause of her fear and anxiousness is the fact that she does not know how to tie her own shoelaces, and she is afraid to be the only one who doesn't know in her class. While she does know the things that she can do, her knowledge that she yet doesn't know how to tie her shoes causes her a bit of concern. The little girl still goes to attend her first day and finds out that majority of the kids in her class don't know how to tie their shoelaces either.
Great for Kids Starting School
If your child is starting kindergarten and is experiencing the same kinds of anxieties, then Countdown to Kindergarten is a great book to learn from. By reading the book, children will realize that it is normal to have certain fears on the first day, but at the end of it, they will realize that everybody else has the same concerns. It helps children realize that there are other children like them. Like the girl in the book, Z.E.N does not yet know how to tie his shoes, so he was relieved to learn that other children in Kindergarten don't know how to tie their shoes either. It's a great book for children who are preparing for kindergarten and have no idea of what to expect going in.
Cleverly Written with Beautiful Illustrations
Aside from the emotional development that the book is able to provide children, it is also a very interesting text and kids will enjoy the story told in the book. Alison McGhee has incorporated cute scenarios into the text that are charming and amusing. Also, the book is written like a comic strip in picture book format, making it all the more entertaining for the readers. Z.E.N cracked up at some of the pictures of the cat. The pictures were really hilarious!
A Great Addition to any Bookshelf
While this book might be most suited for children who are actually getting ready for kindergarten, it is still a great addition to any child's bookshelf. Some parents have said that it caused some unnecessary anxiety to their children, but the book helps children get an idea of how life really is in school. It's a great parent tool for opening up topics about school and clearing up any misconceptions they may have. Both author and illustrator have come up with a product that is as entertaining as it is educational.

New oral anticoagulants (NOACs) are an alternative for vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) to prevent stroke in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF). Both physicians and patients will have to learn how to use these drugs effectively and safely in clinical practice. Many unresolved questions on how to optimally use these drugs in specific clinical situations remain. The European Heart Rhythm Association set out to coordinate a unified way of informing physicians on the use of the different NOACs. A writing group listed 15 topics of concrete clinical scenarios and formulated as practical answers as possible based on available evidence. The 15 topics are: (1) Practical start-up and follow-up scheme for patients on NOACs; (2) How to measure the anticoagulant effect of NOACs; (3) Drug-drug interactions and pharmacokinetics of NOACs; (4) Switching between anticoagulant regimens; (5) Ensuring compliance of NOAC intake; (6) How to deal with dosing errors; (7) Patients with chronic kidney disease; (8) What to do if there is a (suspected) overdose without bleeding, or a clotting test is indicating a risk of bleeding? (9) Management of bleeding complications; (10) Patients undergoing a planned surgical intervention or ablation; (11) Patients undergoing an urgent surgical intervention; (12) Patients with AF and coronary artery disease; (13) Cardioversion in a NOAC-treated patient; (14) Patients presenting with acute stroke while on NOACs; (15) NOACs vs. VKAs in AF patients with a malignancy. Since new information is becoming available at a rapid pace, an EHRA Web site with the latest updated information accompanies this text (www.NOACforAF.eu).

Heart Arrest
Cessation of heart beat or MYOCARDIAL CONTRACTION. If it is treated within a few minutes, heart arrest can be reversed in most cases to normal cardiac rhythm and effective circulation.
A cardiac arrhythmia that is caused by interaction of two independently initiated cardiac impulses of different rates from two separate foci. Generally one focus is the SINOATRIAL NODE, the normal pacemaker. The ectopic focus is usually in the HEART VENTRICLE but can be in the HEART ATRIUM or the ATRIOVENTRICULAR NODE. Modulation of the parasystolic rhythm by the sinus rhythm depends on the completeness of entrance block surrounding the parasystolic focus.
Atrial Fibrillation
Abnormal cardiac rhythm that is characterized by rapid, uncoordinated firing of electrical impulses in the upper chambers of the heart (HEART ATRIA). In such case, blood cannot be effectively pumped into the lower chambers of the heart (HEART VENTRICLES). It is caused by abnormal impulse generation.
Substances found in many plants, containing the 4-hydroxycoumarin radical. They interfere with vitamin K and the blood clotting mechanism, are tightly protein-bound, inhibit mitochondrial and microsomal enzymes, and are used as oral anticoagulants.
European Union
The collective designation of three organizations with common membership: the European Economic Community (Common Market), the European Coal and Steel Community, and the European Atomic Energy Community (Euratom). It was known as the European Community until 1994. It is primarily an economic union with the principal objectives of free movement of goods, capital, and labor. Professional services, social, medical and paramedical, are subsumed under labor. The constituent countries are Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.

Chelsea striker Fernando Torres has escaped disciplinary action despite appearing to scratch the face of Jan Vertonghen during Chelsea's Premier League match against Tottenham on Saturday.
The incident occurred after a coming together between Torres and the Spurs defender which led to the Spain international being shown the first of two bookings that led to him being dismissed.
It was unclear at the time whether referee Mike Dean showed Torres the first of his two yellow cards for a trip on Vertonghen or the scratching incident that followed.
If Dean and his assistant Jake Collin did not have a clear view of the apparent scratching, retrospective action could have been taken.
However, the FA say the incident was spotted.
The FA said in a statement: "The FA will take no action against Chelsea's Fernando Torres in relation to an incident involving Tottenham Hotspur's Jan Vertonghen which occurred in the 50th minute of their match on Saturday 28 September 2013.
"One of the match officials saw the coming together of the two players, albeit not in its entirety."
The FA has put a new system in place where a panel of three former referees will look at incidents retrospectively and decide if charges should be brought.
That replaces the old system where action was only taken if the referee viewed the footage and judged whether he should have sent a player off.
However, in both cases if any match official saw part of the incident, even if not the full detail, then the FA cannot take further action.
The FA statement added: "In these particular circumstances, in line with the FA's policy on when retrospective action may be taken, reviewed this summer by the game's stakeholders (the Premier League, the Football League, the Professional Footballers' Association, the League Managers' Association, Professional Game Match Officials Limited and the National Game), no action may be taken."
Torres received his second yellow card, unluckily, when Vertonghen made the most of an aerial challenge nine minutes from the end of the 1-1 draw at White Hart Lane. It means he will miss Sunday's game against Norwich.
Having surprisingly preferred to start with Eto'o in the recent defeats against Everton and Basle, Jose Mourinho has been impressed with the way Torres responded, meaning the fact the striker has escaped what might have been a four match ban will come as a releif for the Chelsea boss: "From television I was watching Fernando's matches for Chelsea in other seasons and he looked to me a bit heavy, a little slow. I think Fernando now looks in fantastic shape. And I think he played a very good game. He knows I'm very happy with his performances."
Torres' enforced absence next weekend means he is more likely to start in the Champions League away to Steaua Bucharest tonight.
