Elmont, NY, May 29, 2014 -- California Chrome's quest to become racing's first Triple Crown winner in 36 years has captured the nation's attention, and HRTV (R) will continue its extensive on-site coverage of this year's Triple Crown, when it begins live broadcasts from Belmont Park, on Wednesday, June 4.
Richard Migliore, Jeff Siegel, Christina Blacker and Caton Bredar will all be on-site to combine for daily all-inclusive coverage detailing California Chrome's relentless pursuit at racing immortality leading into the $1.5 million Belmont Stakes on Saturday, June 7.
"We are proud and delighted to deliver extensive coverage of California Chrome's historic run for the first Triple Crown in 36 years," said Scott Daruty, President of HRTV. "We also owe special thanks and gratitude to the cooperation and assistance we have received from the team at NYRA. We look forward to a memorable day at Belmont."
The network's on-site involvement will again consist of broadcasting the Belmont Stakes' post position draw on Wednesday at 11 a.m. ET.
"Fasig-Tipton's Pursuit of the Crown, presented by Twinspires.com" show (POTC) will emanate from Belmont through Sunday, and the half-hour show will provide the latest happenings, and up-to-date news, on Wednesday through Friday at Noon ET, and 11:40 a.m. ET on Belmont Stakes Day. There will also be special editions of POTC on Friday evening at 10 p.m. ET and Sunday at Noon ET, which will wrap-up the Triple Crown season.
HRTV's "Westrock Coffee First Call" will continue to supplement the on-site coverage, with an extended 90-minute show on Saturday (Noon ET). Similar to the Preakness, the show will originate from HRTV's set at Santa Anita's Clocker's Corner and be hosted by Aaron Vercruysse and Zoe Cadman, with Jeff Siegel offering his valuable insights directly from Belmont.
Additionally, HRTV's daily coverage from New York will include in-depth race coverage, the latest up-to-date information, timely interviews with the key connections of Belmont contenders and the latest workouts for Belmont entrants, as well as expert analysis from HRTV's stable of hosts/analysts.
The network's Belmont coverage will extend beyond its on-site presence, with the daily "Race Day America" show, as well as the weekly offerings, "The Edge" (Friday, 10:30 p.m. ET) and "Against the Odds" (Thursday, 8 p.m. ET) also contributing during the week.
The network will also present special segments of Triple Crown programming for racing fans on Monday, June 2, when it debuts "HRTV Presents: California Chrome." The one-hour show, premiering at 6:30 p.m. ET, will recap HRTV's coverage of California Chrome's brilliant career, from his maiden win in 2013, to his 2014 march through the Southern California stakes preps and triumphs in the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness.
HRTV has been the source for all things California Chrome, with impromptu set interviews with his trainer, jockey and owner, as well as featured appearances on nearly all of HRTV's regularly-scheduled programming throughout the winter and spring.
On Wednesday, June 4 (8 p.m. ET), the network will unveil "Pursuit of the Crown: 2014," a fast-paced summary of the memorable highlights the show has chronicled since beginning its in-depth Triple Crown coverage in February. It will journey from the initial stages of the Triple Crown trail when juvenile champion Shared Belief was battling for Kentucky Derby favoritism with the likes of Top Billing, Cairo Prince and Honor Code. California Chrome also made an appearance in that season-opening show, and later became a fixture while crafting a dominant winning streak and working his way atop Jeff Siegel's "Elite Eight" rankings.
Additional Triple Crown-related programming will also air on Monday. The chasm of years since Affirmed's Triple Crown in 1978 has been well-documented and members of the network's on-air team will recount their favorite near misses over Belmont's grueling 1 1/2-mile surface with the re-airing of another show, "Triple Crown Misses," at 8:30 p.m. ET
That same evening, HRTV will also show "Triple Crown Memories," at 8:30 p.m. ET, with HRTV hosts/analysts recounting their favorite Triple Crown memories through the years. Additionally, the network will re-air two recent "Across The Board" episodes involving Chrome's jockey, Victor Espinoza (7:30 p.m. ET), and trainer, Art Sherman (9 p.m. ET).

Creepy Secret Room SCARES Family [PHOTOS]
A family, who has decided to remain anonymous has revealed, quite possibly, the most horrifying thing, ever. Two brothers were playing around in their parent's bedroom and one fell into a bookshelf that moved and revealed a secret passage way. After some investigating, the boys found a spiral staircase that led to a small hidden room! Now here's where it gets creepy: someone had been living there! It was empty when they found it, but there was Halloween candy, a few toys, some creepy dolls and a key.

» Declares quarterly dividend of $0.16 per share of common stock
CHARLOTTE, N.C., May 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Snyder's-Lance, Inc. (Nasdaq-GS: LNCE) today reported results for its first quarter of 2013. Net revenue for the first quarter ended March 30, 2013was $419 million, an increase of 6.5% compared to prior year net revenue of $393 million. Net income was $19.8 million for the first quarter of 2013, or $0.28 per diluted share, compared to net income of $14.2 million for the first quarter of 2012 or $0.21 per diluted share. There were no special items in the first quarter of 2013. Net income excluding special items in the first quarter of 2012 was $11.4 million, or $0.17 per diluted share. Special items for the first quarter of 2012 included after-tax gains of $4.9 million on the sale of routes as well as after-tax expenses of $2.1 million for merger related items.
Comments from Management
"We are pleased with our overall performance in the first quarter of 2013, and are proud of the progress we've made toward making Snyder's-Lance a premium, differentiated leader in snack foods," commented Carl E. Lee, Jr, President and Chief Executive Officer. "The first quarter was focused on getting Pretzel Crisps® off to a great start, expanding our margins and improving our retail execution. Sales growth continues to be driven by our core brands which together were up 23% for the quarter excluding the impact of last year's independent business owner (IBO) distributor conversion. Core brand sales growth excluding acquisitions and the IBO impact was 6.3%. Branded sales growth continues to be a top priority, and we gained market share in all four of our core brands (Snyder's of Hanover® pretzels, Lance® sandwich crackers, Cape Cod® kettle chips and Pretzel Crisps®). With our team's focus, operating margins expanded to 8.1% in the first quarter, helped by improved manufacturing efficiencies, retail price improvements on certain products and more efficient promotional spending. Our recent acquisition of the fast growing Snack Factory®Pretzel Crisps® brand is proving to be a real positive for Snyder's-Lance. Our team has done a great job of supporting this exciting new core brand that raises the bar for innovation and product quality. This product line has strengthened our branded portfolio, helping us to drive increased branded revenue in the first quarter and positively impacting profits."
Mr. Lee continued, "Starting in the second quarter, we'll increase our investment in marketing and advertising to drive sales. Consistent with our strategic plan, advertising efforts will focus on our core brands while our marketing efforts will support our broader portfolio. The majority of this activity will occur during the second and third quarters of 2013, leading to additional revenue growth in the back half of the year. We believe our strategic plan is solid, and it guides our decisions and focus every day. I'm very excited about the future, and want to thank everyone at Snyder's-Lance for their continued commitment and dedication to our success."
Dividend Declared
The Company also announced the declaration of a quarterly cash dividend of $0.16 per share on the Company's common stock. The dividend is payable on May 30, 2013 to stockholders of record at the close of business on May 22, 2013.

What about wlan_ng? Does that work?
(I haven't used any of my Prism 2.5 cards for so long I don't even know if wlan_ng is in BT3b? I should go look, but it's quicker/simpler just to mention it anyway...)
i have this problem, on a Fujitsu Siemens laptop..
i have tried 3 different adapters:
Linksys Wireless G USB
Belkin 54G Usb
Orinoco PCMCIA (5 Volt)
I have a DWL-122 USB dongle card. When using ndiswrapper I get a similar kernel error message as others. If the device is plugged in while 'modprobe ndiswrapper' my computer freezes. If I plug in the device after modprobe. I still get error message but device seems to work properly. I have been using the wlan-ng drivers (0.2.8) without any issues. If you are using patched drivers and prism2_usb device, keep in mind INJECTION IS NOT SUPPORTED WITH USB AND WLAN-NG!What about wlan_ng? Does that work?
(I haven't used any of my Prism 2.5 cards for so long I don't even know if wlan_ng is in BT3b? I should go look, but it's quicker/simpler just to mention it anyway...)
If anyone would like, here is a link for the wlan-ng-0.2.8 drivers as a module. Just place it in your /BT3/modules directory and boot. As my USB device doesn't support injection. I have no way of testing if they will work for your particular set-up. But, they are patched non the less. I'm only using these drivers as to prevent the kernel panic I receive with ndiswrapper and the fact that it's not supported with hostap. I also tend to get a more stable connection with wlan-ng drivers.
I am getting the abnormal exit at the /sbin/modprobe portion of the live cd boot.
After reading this thread I assume its my orinoco/prism2.5 based card. Any ideas on how I can get this up and running.
Any suggestions in the form of passing kernel params at the boot promt?
Repro on Latitude D830 with Hermes I.
I've got a solution for the Prism Inject problems.
The core off the problem is that the hostap included with BT3 isn't patched with the Inject patch from aircrack-ng.org
The solution is to download the BT3 Kernel files, extract them using lzm2dir kernel.lzm /
and then patch the hostap driver with the hostap-kernel-2.6.18.patch, like this: patch -Np1 -i hostap-kernel-2.6.18.patch, and then make modules && make modules_install.
I dont know if there are other ways to do it.
Or you could just use the pre patched hostap files from:
Just extract them into /lib/modules/126.96.36.199/kernel/drivers/net/wireless and replace the existing hostap folder.
Dark, not being a Linux expert (although I get by ok) can you confirm this solves the boot and card insert problem ? I just re-installed BT2 and spent a few hours putting all my other bits onto it also. As you know time is precious and would like to be running BT3 but as there are still issues with the 2.5 chipset.

Microsoft Shouts Antitrust Over YouTube Snub

Dave Heiner
(Source: blogs.technet.com)
Microsoft said FTC isn't doing enough to force Google to conform with antitrust laws
A Microsoft executive has called Google out on the fact that Windows Phone users cannot enjoy
a full YouTube experience
the way Android and iOS users can.
Dave Heiner, Vice President and Deputy General Counsel of Microsoft, wrote a post about the fact that the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is not doing enough to force Google to conform with antitrust laws. More specifically, Microsoft is upset that Windows Phone still cannot get a full YouTube app while the competition (Android and iOS) are able.
"Despite government scrutiny, Google continues to block Microsoft from offering its customers proper access to YouTube," said Heiner. "This is an important issue because consumers value YouTube access on their phone: YouTube apps on the Android and Apple platforms were two of the most downloaded mobile applications in 2012, according to recent news reports. Yet Google still refuses to allow Windows Phone users to have the same access to YouTube that Android and Apple customers enjoy. Microsoft has continued to engage with YouTube personnel over the past two years to remedy this problem for consumers.
"As you might expect, it appears that YouTube itself would like all customers – on Windows Phone as on any other device – to have a great YouTube experience. But just last month we learned from YouTube that senior executives at Google told them not to enable a first-class YouTube experience on Windows Phones."
Heiner mentioned that the European Commission has addressed Google's business practices and is working toward a resolution that will keep Google in line, but the FTC, however, is taking it a little too easy on the search giant.
"Meanwhile, in the United States, news reports have stated that the FTC may close its investigation if Google merely makes certain "voluntary commitments" to reform its behavior," wrote Heiner. "Separately, news reports suggest that Google will finally agree to live up to its promises to make its standard essential patents available to all on reasonable terms. Unfortunately, this agreement appears to be less demanding than the pledge the U.S. Department of Justice received from Apple and Microsoft nearly a year ago."
Heiner complained that Microsoft had raised the issue about the full-featured YouTube app almost two years ago, and while the European Commission and the FTC are both investigating the matter, Microsoft wants the matter resolved once and for all.
Microsoft is just one tech company that is consistently targeted by the European Commission regarding antitrust laws.
It started in March 2004 when a European Commission high court found the company guilty of
using tactics to freeze out its competitors
in the media player and server software markets. It was fined
$690 million.
Back in 2008, the EU
fined Microsoft $1.4 billion
for refusing to comply during its legal feud with the EU between
July 2006 and October 2007
. Microsoft was charged
$3.83 million a day for each day of non-compliance
Moving forward to 2009, the EU went after Microsoft again for
tying Internet Explorer to Windows
, and by doing so, Microsoft is "stealing" a unique and unfair advantage.
The EU has been on top of Microsoft throughout 2012, with most problems stemming from
browser choices in Windows 7
and more
browser issues with Windows RT
In December, the Commission began investigating Microsoft's policy
changes in Bing and Hotmail
to make sure they comply with user privacy.
You can read Heiner's full post
"Google fired a shot heard 'round the world, and now a second American company has answered the call to defend the rights of the Chinese people." -- Rep. Christopher H. Smith (R-N.J.)

The mknod creates a FIFO that can use to pass data between the tees and NetCats.
I am trying to implement Port redirection using netcat. I have 3 PCs:
"A" from which I run
"B" from which I runCode:nc -vv 192.168.1.2 -p 80
"C" from which I runCode:nc -lvvp 80 | nc -vv 192.168.1.3 -p 5555
The idea is to connect from A to C on the port 5555 (assuming A is behind firewall and only port 80 is opened)Code:nc -lvvp 5555
the flow works correctly, Text from A goes to C, however, text from C doesn't came back to A, but stuck in B.
I have searched and found that this can be solved by adding a second pipe to B as follows:
nc -lvvp 80 | nc -vv 192.168.1.3 -p 5555 | nc -lvv -b -p 80
however, my netcat doesnt contain -b option (on both BT2 & windows binary).
I have searched the forum and found a solutions using backpipe, but really I didn't understood it.
thanks in advance,Code:mknod backpipe p nc -l -p 80 0<backpipe | tee -a inflow | nc localhost 81 | tee -a outflow 1>backpipe
The mknod creates a FIFO that can use to pass data between the tees and NetCats.
Thanks level for the clarification.The mknod creates a FIFO that can use to pass data between the tees and NetCats.
However, I think mknod is a *nix command, which means that it cannot be run on a windows box (I know some will say, this is not a windows forum).
May problem is why the netcat version on BT2.0 doesn't contain the -b option (for broadcasting).
Thanks alot in advance,
I'm a compulsive post editor, you might wanna wait until my post has been online for 5-10 mins before quoting it as it will likely change.
I know I seem harsh in some of my replies. SORRY! But if you're doing something illegal or posting something that seems to be obvious BS I'm going to call you on it.

'We're All For The Hall' raises nearly $650,000
Listen to Keith Urban on iHeartRadio | Listen to Vince Gill on iHeartRadio
Keith Urban and Vince Gill are giving the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum a hefty sum. The country stars raised nearly $650,000 with last week's "We're All For The Hall" show.
This year's figure well surpasses the 2012 show, which brought in $465,000, and Museum Director Kyle Young says the 2013 concert was "the biggest and best ever." The four-year total for "We're All For The Hall" shows has now topped the two-million mark.
This year's theme was "Rebels and Renegades," and featured performances from such stars as Tim McGraw, Eric Church, Jason Aldean, and Trace Adkins. Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson, Hank Williams Jr., Billy Joe Shaver, and Montgomery Gentry took the stage as well, along with Brantley Gilbert, Rosanne Cash, Sheryl Crow, Kid Rock, and Jessi Colter.
The benefit concert took place at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena on April 16th.

Along with your good suggestions, we've found Tylenol PM helps. It is mild compared to sleeping pills and doesn't last as long, maybe 4 to 6 hours. It is not available in the UK, so we stock up when we are in the US.

I have taught myself to sleep on planes...because I have to.
Here's my routine:
* Comfortable Clothes (For me, it's a pair of athletic shorts and a t-shirt. I really don't care how I look to others. Shorts are a must since cabins tend to be warmer rather than cooler.)
* Dream Water (Two shots. Take it about 20 minutes before you want to sleep.)
* Pillows/Blanket (If I'm flying a US carrier, I will bring my own pillow and blanket. I use the airline-supplied blanket as a pad on the seat. I'll also use their pillow. And then I'll use my larger blanket to cover me up. If I'm flying a respectable non-US carrier, I find their bedding is sufficient.
* Eye Mask (I resisted for the longest time because I felt they looked ridiculous, but they do help.)
* Don't Eat the Meal (If you absolutely must get sleep, I have found that not eating the meal is essential. I show up with a little something in my stomach, and that's plenty. Eating at altitude is rough on the body.)
I recently flew HNL-DFW on a red-eye, and I was amused by the looks of some of the older (arguably less-traveled) passengers in the cabin as I prepared my bed to sleep right after takeoff. As soon as we hit 10K feet, I was in bed mode and didn't wake up until I heard the pilot's command to prepare for landing.

I have never had any problem sleeping on a flight unless there is a screaming child nearby or one who constantly kicks the back of my seat. I'm usually asleep as soon as the seat-backs can be reclined. It probably has to do with my many years of working on ships and being used to background noise and vibrations.
For me it all depends on what is happening when I arrive. If I need to be functional for a full day before my next sleep cycle, then I try and sleep. Otherwise I jsut occupy myself, read, movies, etc....napping here and there. If I will land and head to a hotel for a full night sleep I purposefully try and stay up. (Essentially looking to become synced to the destination...although trying to jump onto EU time or Tokyo time while still in california SOUNDS nice, it is impossible for me)
I rarely take sleeping pills in the air- occasionally headed to Germany or sydney in F when I needed to work on arrival, and could lie flat and sleep.... otherwise nothing. BUT, they are a MUST for me once I arrive: for 3 days, I take them at bedtime and get 8 hours of un-interrupted sleep. You may still be jet lagged, but at least you arent TIRED! (There is a difference, IMO) People I travel with who go drug-free pay the price by the second/thrid day...
I think this, at least for me, is the biggest factor in getting sync'd.
Any time change under 3,4 horus isnt a big deal, but europe, australia, asia are PITAs from California.
Keep it as simple as possible...but no simpler.
Would only add to avoid alcohol, use ear plugs, and to try and support your head somehow if you end up in cattle.
Character is doing the right thing when nobodys looking. There are too many people who think that the only thing thats right is to get by, and the only thing thats wrong is to get caught.

John Mayer dedicates song to Katy Perry during concert
Listen to John Mayer on iHeartRadio | Listen to Katy Perry on iHeartRadio
John Mayer had a few words for his on-again, off-again girlfriend Katy Perry as he returned to the road this weekend. He took the stage Saturday night in Wisconsin for his first proper headlining show since doctors repaired a granuloma in his throat last summer. And according to "Rolling Stone," Mayer thanked Perry during the show, explaining that she took the time to "continue to get to know [him] and love [him]" as he dealt with and recovered from his vocal impairment.
Mayer also dedicated the concert's closing number - "A Face to Call Home" - to Perry, adding that she is his "face to call home." Mayer and Perry supposedly broke up back in March, although they reportedly spent the Fourth of July holiday together.
Meanwhile, "Rolling Stone" also notes that Mayer has made a few changes to his live performance to accommodate his history of vocal issues. He sang many of his songs in a lower vocal register, and even nixed all the falsetto from one of his biggest hits, "Waiting on the World to Change." He also used a vocal-chord lubricating throat spray to help him get through the night.
Mayer is scheduled to continue the trek - which supports both last year's Born and Raised and next month's new album Paradise Valley - on Tuesday with a show in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Modeling Helps Improve Safety in the Production of TeflonMartin Beckmann-Kluge & Fabio Ferrero
BAM German Federal Institute for Materials Research & Testing, Berlin, Germany
BAM German Federal Institute for Materials Research & Testing in Berlin promotes industrial development by providing research and consultation on materials technology and chemical engineering. Their recent work has been in analyzing the process by which highly flammable TFE gas is converted into a solid called PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), or the non-stick coating commonly known as Teflon.
PlasticsEurope contacted BAM German Federal Institute for Materials Research & Testing for the creation of a mathematical model of the self-heating of TFE to determine the Maximum Ignition Temperature of Decomposition (MITD).
Using COMSOL Multiphysics, they were able to find six reactions taking place in the heated gas phase that were needed for an accurate model. Three physics interfaces in COMSOL Multiphysics were used: non-isothermal flow interface, convection and conduction interface, and convection and diffusion interface. The model now allows companies to determine if for a given reactor a specific pressure/temperature setting is not safe and then adapt their process.
Teflon is a registered trademark of E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company.

Cystoscopy is a procedure to see the inside of the bladder and urethra using a telescope.
Cystourethroscopy; Endoscopy of the bladder
Cystoscopy is performed with a cystoscope -- a special tube with a small camera on the end (endoscope). There are two types of cystoscopes:
The cystoscope can be inserted in different ways, but the test is the same. Which cystoscope your health care provider uses depends on the purpose of the exam.
The procedure will take about take 5 - 20 minutes. The urethra is cleansed. A numbing medicine is applied to the skin lining the inside of the urethra. This is done without needles. The scope is then inserted through the urethra into the bladder.
Water or salt water (saline) flows through the cystoscope to fill the bladder. As this occurs, you will be asked to describe the feeling. Your answer will give information about your condition.
As fluid fills the bladder, it stretches the bladder wall. This lets your health care provider see the entire bladder wall. You will feel the need to urinate when the bladder is full. However, the bladder must stay full until the exam is finished.
If any tissue looks abnormal, a small sample can be taken (biopsy) through the cystoscope and sent to a lab to be tested.
Ask your health care provider if you should stop taking any medicines that could thin your blood.
If the procedure is done in a hospital or surgery center, you will need to have someone take you home afterward.
You may feel slight discomfort when the cystoscope is passed through the urethra into the bladder. You will feel an uncomfortable, strong need to urinate when your bladder is full.
You may feel a quick pinch if a biopsy is taken. After the cystoscope is removed, the urethra may be sore. You may have blood in the urine and a burning sensation during urination for a day or two.
The bladder wall should look smooth. The bladder should be of normal size, shape, and position. There should be no blockages, growths, or stones.
There is a slight risk of excess bleeding when a biopsy is taken.
Other risks include:
Drink 4 - 6 glasses of water per day after your cystoscopy.
You may notice a small amount of blood in your urine after this procedure. If the bleeding continues after you urinate 3 times, contact your health care provider.
Contact your health care provider if you develop any of these signs of infection:

Lankester said that many of his Tuareg employees have left Timbuktu, Gao, and the surrounding cities.
Alicia Drake and Lankester followed, pausing in the hall to talk with Bobbie.
As Lankester words it, they should be anomomeristic and anomotagmatic.
The entosclerite belonging to this dependent portion is apparently the post-oral entosclerite of Lankester and Miss Beck.
Such a case as this has been described in Aplysia by Lankester.
This was maintained by Lankester in 1878 , again in 1881 ; it was subsequently announced as a novelty by Claus in 1885 .
For details the reader is referred to Watase and to Lankester and Bourne .
Some writers, as Lankester, have found so much fault with the term as to urge its complete abandonment in scientific literature.
He couldn't do Wrackham after Lankester, nor yet, for Lankester's sake, before.
But she found him in a rather easier phase, with Lankester, who had just returned from town, reading aloud to him.

JetHawks continue winning ways
Astros affiliate clinches Cal League first-half division title
By Jonathan Raymond / Special to MLB.com | June 15, 2013 9:44 PM ET
Lancaster's game at Lake Elsinore began with a surreal scene Saturday night, then ended with one that's starting to become familiar for the JetHawks.
During batting practice, the JetHawks rushed off the field to aid some children who were caught in a bounce house that fell over when a small dust storm rolled through The Diamond. It also scattered tents and other debris from a pregame event that was being held beyond the outfield.
No one was injured and the JetHawks went on to post a 5-1 victory over the Storm, clinching the California League first-half South Division title.
After securing a Wild Card berth last season en route to the Cal League championship, Lancaster celebrated a third title in less than a calendar year.
"I think first of all we have a pretty talented group of players," JetHawks manager Rodney Linares said. "We got into a bit of a funk there when we lost eight straight, I think a lot of the guys ran into some fatigue problems, a lot of the kids who are first-year full-season players coming from Tri-City and even some from Greeneville. But they battled through it. Faced some adversity. We had a pretty big lead and then lost eight straight. It was a humbling experience for most of the guys.
"This game will do that to you, but they never backed off. It's a special group of guys."
As for the events that occurred before the game, Astros No. 5 prospect Delino DeShields -- a member of last year's championship team -- called it "one of the craziest things I've ever seen."
"I'm from the East Coast and you come over here and you see some things you've never seen before. That was pretty insane," he said. "They were having a picnic or something up there and the wind picked up, tents flying around, everything just all over the place. The blow-up jumpy thing kind of flew off and there were some kids in there, but they were fine, thank goodness. That was something different."
DeShields has hit .299/.385/.426 in 52 games this year and leads Lancaster with 16 stolen bases. He tripled, walked twice, drove in a run and scored once out of the leadoff spot in the clincher.
Matt Duffy, with 11 homers and 50 RBIs in 59 games, supplied the power again Saturday. He went 3-for-4 with two doubles, a walk and two RBIs.
Luis Cruz (3-4) came out of the bullpen to yield a run on two hits and a walk while striking out five in three innings to earn the win.
"I think [the success] is a testament to what we're doing here as an organization, trying to be competitive, winning and developing guys at the same time," said Linares. "I'm happy for them, I'm happy for myself. It's been a fun ride the last year and a half in Lancaster and, hopefully, we can continue that success."
Other clinchings:
Myrtle Beach 5, Carolina 1 (7 innings)
The Pelicans took the nightcap of a doubleheader with the Mudcats, wrapping up the Carolina League South Division first-half crown after Winston-Salem lost. Rangers No. 3 prospect Luis Sardinas went 2-for-4 with a double, Jake Skole drove in two runs and Paul Schwendel and Joe Van Mater (2-3) combined to strike out eight over seven innings.
South Bend 5, Dayton 4:
Rudy Flores hit a solo homer to break an eighth-inning tie and propel the Silver Hawks to the first-half Eastern Division crown in the Midwest League. Flores finished 3-for-4, adding a double and totaling three RBIs. Starter Jesse Darrah did not factor in the decision after yielding four runs on seven hits over seven innings.

The Bulldogs (9-7, 2-1 TranSouth) won 2-of-3 in the series and continue the current nine-game road swing starting Monday with five games in three games in Daytona Beach, Fla.
Cumberland scored six times in the first two innings and added five more runs in the fifth and sixth innings, breaking out of its offensive struggles for at least one day.
Woody Stewart (0-2), the first of four Mid-Continent (5-15, 1-2) hurlers, took the loss, giving up six runs on three hits in one-plus inning. MCU made an error in the first and second inning that led to a pair of unearned runs.
Mandarino led off the fifth with a solo homer and Ross reached on an error. He later scored on a double from Sydnor and Alford followed with a walk. Urquharts two-out, two-run double pushed the Bulldog advantage to 10-0.
Mandarino hit another solo homer to leadoff the sixth for CUs final run.
MCUs only run came on a solo homer from Richard Arias to start the bottom of the sixth.
Cumberland plays Bellevue University on Monday at 1 p.m. CT and takes on fifth-ranked Embry-Riddle at 5 p.m. CT on Monday as well. Follow the action with live stats on www.gocumberlandathletics.com

Vaginal yeast infectionYeast infection - vagina; Vaginal candidiasis; Monilial vaginitis
Vaginal yeast infection is an infection of the vagina, most commonly due to the fungus Candida albicans.
Most women have a vaginal yeast infection at some time. Candida albicans is a common type of fungus. It is often found in small amounts in the vagina, mouth, digestive tract, and on the skin. Usually it does not cause disease or symptoms.
Candida and the many other germs that normally live in the vagina keep each other in balance. However, sometimes the number of Candida albicans increases, leading to a yeast infection.
This can happen if you are:
- Taking antibiotics used to treat other types of infections. Antibiotics change the normal balance between germs in the vagina by decreasing the number of protective bacteria.
- Pregnant
- Obese
- Have diabetes
A yeast infection is not a sexually transmitted illness. However, some men will develop symptoms such as itching and a rash on the penis after having sexual contact with an infected partner.
Having many vaginal yeast infections may be a sign of other health problems. Other vaginal infections and discharges can be mistaken for a vaginal yeast infection.
- Abnormal vaginal discharge
- Ranges from a slightly watery, white discharge to a thick, white, chunky discharge (like cottage cheese)
- Pain with intercourse
- Painful urination
- Redness and swelling of the vulva
- Vaginal and labial itching, burning
Exams and Tests
A pelvic examination will be done. It may show swelling and redness of the skin of the vulva, in the vagina, and on the cervix. The health care provider may find dry, white spots on the vaginal wall. There may be cracks in the skin of the vulva.
A small amount of the vaginal discharge is examined using a microscope. This is called a wet mount and KOH test).
Sometimes, a culture is taken when the infection does not improve with treatment or comes back many times.
Your health care provider may order other tests to rule out other causes of your symptoms.
Medications to treat vaginal yeast infections are available in either creams or suppositories. Most can be bought without a prescription.
Treating yourself at home is probably okay if:
- Your symptoms are mild and you do not have pelvic pain or a fever
- This is not your first yeast infection and you have not had many yeast infections in the past
- You are not pregnant
- You are not worried about other sexually transmitted diseases from recent sexual contact
Medications you can buy yourself to treat a vaginal yeast infection are:
- Miconazole
- Clotrimazole
- Tioconazole
- Butoconazole
Read the packages carefully and use them as directed. Do not stop using these medications early because your symptoms are better. You will need to take the medicine for 3 - 7-days, depending on which medicine you buy. If you do not get get repeated infections, a 1-day medicine might work for you.
You doctor can also prescribe a medicine called fluconazole. This medicine is a pill that you only take once.
If your symptoms are more severe or you have repeat vaginal yeast infections, you may need:
- Medicine for up to 14 days
- Clotrimazole vaginal suppository or fluconazole pill every week to prevent new infections
To help prevent and treat vaginal discharge:
- Keep your genital area clean and dry. Avoid soap and rinse with water only. Sitting in a warm, but not hot, bath may help your symptoms.
- Avoid douching. Although many women feel cleaner if they douche after menstruation or intercourse, it may actually worsen vaginal discharge because it removes healthy bacteria lining the vagina that protect against infection.
- Eat yogurt with live cultures or take Lactobacillus acidophilus tablets when you are on antibiotics to prevent a yeast infection.
- Use condoms to avoid catching or spreading sexually transmitted infection (STI).
- Avoid using feminine hygiene sprays, fragrances, or powders in the genital area.
- Avoid wearing extremely tight-fitting pants or shorts, which may cause irritation.
- Wear cotton underwear or cotton-crotch pantyhose. Avoid underwear made of silk or nylon, because these materials are not very absorbant and restrict air flow. This can increase sweating in the genital area, which can cause irritation.
- Use pads and not tampons.
- Keep your blood sugar levels under good control if you have diabetes.
Outlook (Prognosis)
The symptoms usually disappear completely with adequate treatment.
Possible Complications
Chronic or recurrent infections may occur if you do not get the proper treatment or have an underlying medical condition. It is important for your doctor to check you for diseases that can lead to yeast infections, such as diabetes.
Secondary infection may occur. A lot of scratching may cause the area to crack, making you more likely to get an infection.
Repeat infections that occur immediately after treatment, or a yeast infection that does not respond to any treatment, may be an early sign of HIV.
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if:
- This is the first time that you have had symptoms of a vaginal yeast infection
- You are not sure if you have a yeast infection
- Your symptoms don't go away after using over-the-counter medicines
- Your symptoms get worse
- You develop other symptoms
Avoid persistent and excessive moisture in the genital area by wearing underwear or pantyhose with cotton crotches, and loose-fitting slacks. Avoid wearing wet bathing suits or exercise clothing for long periods of time, and wash them after each use.

Public Service: An Added Dimension, Fairbanks Flood 1967
This story about the university's important role in Fairbanks' 1967 flood appeared in July-August 1967 issue of Now in the North.
As a public institution supported by taxpayers' dollars, the University of Alaska— like all state universities—is keenly aware of its public service role and responsibilities. In mid-August of 1967 the university added a new dimension to its public service role by serving as a flood evacuation center for more than 7,000 residents who had been forced to flee their homes by the rising waters of the Chena River. That the campus, situated on high ground, did indeed become an evacuation center and that it operated this way, for more than two weeks is a story of many members of the university community automatically doing what they knew must be done.

Flying by the seat of your pants?
If you want to fly without using appropriate instrumentation, I'll walk, thank you. The same goes for your process.
There was a time in the history of aviation when "flying by the seat of your pants" had real meaning given the relative lack of gages in an early airplane's cockpit. Yet, in many ways we still operate our plants this way. We instrument what we consider to be critical measurements based on historical operation, but we don't necessarily perform a detailed analysis of the process to determine if there are other things that might be just as important to the operation in terms of throughput or quality or, possibly even more importantly, to uptime and equipment longevity. Even those organizations that don't have a "run it till it breaks" mentality don't necessarily make the best use of the instrumentation they have, while more thoughtful companies install things that could be beneficial in improving uptime and operation of the facility.
While there's something to be said for the ability of the human body to detect small changes in things, like vibration or the sound of a piece of equipment, there's no substitute for good measurement to detect it before it becomes bad enough for a human to detect. Heuristic capabilities built into some instruments have extended this human capability for sensing problems so they can be detected well before an operator can. One manufacturer, for example, has built a plugged sensing line detection capability into their transmitters that uses the noise signature of the process. When it decreases by a threshold amount, it generates an alarm. Sensing these changes in process noise can also be used to detect other problems like pump impeller wear, which can also create pressure fluctuations that then cause a valve to cycle excessively leading to an early failure. Digital valve positioners can analyze the motions of the valve that would go unnoticed by an operator to alert maintenance to the need for service before the valve fails. This use of heuristics can be applied to any number of other situations to prevent failures before they happen.
So why aren't more plants taking advantage of these kinds of diagnostic capabilities? The problem is that organizations are in many ways constrained either externally or internally from deploying these technologies. One key constraint is financial. Some of what's required to perform the analysis falls into the realm of capital expenditures, which in most cases requires a payback. If the system does its job so you keep from having the outage and down time that would have cost you the money you justified buying it on, then without the down time you can't show that you actually saved any money, making the successful system a failure. Talk about a "Catch-22." Another constraint is cultural. One engineer for a major U.S. corporation has said that his company won't buy some of these technologies because to use them effectively would require rewriting their maintenance procedures, which they won't do. A competitor of theirs has stated that having the plugged line sensing technology would have prevented an explosion that occurred at one of their refineries. That means the first company is unwilling to install something that would prevent an explosion because they would have to change a procedure that is meant to prevent explosions. Really? What Catch-22s have you run into that have prevented you from implementing something that logically should have been implemented?

Most plants were built years ago with a minimal amount of instrumentation necessary required to safely operate the process, because 4-20 mA and on/off signals are expensive due to the large amount of cable, conduit, junction boxes, cable tray, installation labor, marshalling cabinets, system cabinets, and I/O cards etc. Improving process unit utilization, energy efficiency, reducing maintenance costs, and mitigating safety and environmental incidents to stay competitive requires additional automation, but the necessary data is not available. These are missing measurements. But ageing plants can be modernized.
The article speaks of what is commonly referred to as 'type 4' diagnostics (Process Equipment Diagnostics) to improve process equipment reliability, reducing downtime, while minimizing maintenance cost and more effectively scheduling turnarounds by continuously diagnosing which equipment require maintenance and which don't. Potential equipment includes heat exchangers, pumps, blowers, air cooled exchangers (fin-fans), unmonitored compressors, and cooling towers etc.
Additionally, plant modernization should cover automatic energy monitoring to drive energy conservation measures for generation, consumption, and loss to improve energy efficiency thus reducing cost. Automatic HS&E monitoring to reduce personnel exposure, detect hazards, record emissions, and provide operators increased situational awareness thus benefitting health, safety, and environmental as well as for associated regulatory compliance should also be part of modernization.
All these improvements are possible without adding any control loops and without migrating the control system. The additional automation only requires more sensors. However, opening junction boxes and cable trays to lay additional cables to hundreds of new transmitters would be disruptive and carry a great risk of damaging the existing installation. A new innovative solution was required.
The primary layer of automation which already exists in the plant uses hardwired or fieldbus signals to the control and safety systems covering functions on the P&ID with millisecond response time supervised by operators in the control room. The second layer of automation uses wireless sensor networks mainly to the asset management system for monitoring of missing measurements with pervasive sensing going beyond the P&ID with update period of seconds, minutes, or an hour for maintenance, reliability, HS&E, and energy personnel in offices beyond the control room. By eliminating wires, deployment is accelerated and low risk, possible during a turnaround or even while the plant is running.
Wireless sensors and software enable plant personnel to become more effective – by no longer having to fly by the seat of their pants.
Interestingly, most of the new data does not go to the control or safety system operator consoles in the control room. Most additional data goes beyond the control room, for instance to the maintenance and reliability office, presented as KPI and equipment dashboards, not as an animated P&ID. The raw data from wireless instruments is aggregated in essential asset monitoring software with pre-engineered modules for pumps, heat exchangers, air cooled exchangers, cooling towers, blowers, unmonitored compressors, filters & strainers, as well as pipes & vessels. Multi-parametric algorithms embedded into the software provide easy-to-understand process equipment diagnostic information.
Once wireless sensor networks have been deployed plant-wide, the plant is prepared to quickly and easily add more automation as needed in the future as industry demands inevitably change.
New plants should be built including wireless sensor networks from the very beginning. Do not design in traditional operator rounds.
IEC 62591 (WirelessHART) is the international standard for wireless in process applications. Thanks to a multi-path multi-hop mesh topology, reliability >99% can be achieved inside a plant environment full of steel, and a single (optionally redundant) gateway can be mounted at the edge of the plant areas eliminating the need to run the networking and power supply into the process units themselves thus reducing risk. Update period can be set from 1 second to 1 hour for individual devices as required by each application. That is, a single common network infrastructure for all applications: steam trap monitoring, relief valve monitoring, and process equipment monitoring etc.
WirelessHART enables existing sites to be modernized & sustained in ways previously not possible, benefitting both operations and maintenance. Start by requesting the user's guide to how to modernize and sustain an old plant using a second layer of automation for pervasive sensing of missing measurements found beyond the P&ID. The guide covers the modernization process from justification and audit to commissioning and handover. The guide can also be used for new projects to deploy plant-wide wireless infrastructure, to make sure the new plant is not built to be run & maintained the old way.

The article goes on to talk about 'type 3' diagnostics (Process Connection Diagnostics). This is the diagnostics performed by the device to detect plugged impulse line, valve, or actuator failure etc.
The article then continues to talk about 'type 2' diagnostics (Device Diagnostics) also performed by the device itself (self-diagnostics) to detect is own internal problems with electronics (e.g. memory) or internal mechanical parts or power supply etc. Using FOUNDATION Fieldbus you get diagnostics not only from transmitters and control valves (traditionally 4-20 mA devices), but also from discrete devices such as on/off valves and electric actuators / motor operated valves (MOV) (traditionally on/off signal devices) etc. as well as complex devices like gas chromatographs and tank gauging systems (traditionally Modbus or proprietary) – and this diagnostics get integrated into the same intelligent device management (IDM) software part of the asset management system as the transmitters and control valves.

Users that need guidance on rewriting their work processes can get help from the guideline found here to make sure diagnostics becomes a natural part of daily maintenance and turnaround planning:
Lastly, although not mentioned in the article, there is 'type 1' diagnostics (Signal Diagnostics) which includes "power advisory" problem with 4-20 mA signal or communication statistics and signal strength for fieldbus and WirelessHART.

Annual Salary Survey
Before the calendar turned, 2016 already had the makings of a pivotal year for manufacturing, and for the world.
There were the big events for the year, including the United States as Partner Country at Hannover Messe in April and the 2016 International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago in September. There's also the matter of the U.S. presidential elections in November, which promise to shape policy in manufacturing for years to come.
But the year started with global economic turmoil, as a slowdown in Chinese manufacturing triggered a worldwide stock hiccup that sent values plummeting. The continued plunge in world oil prices has resulted in a slowdown in exploration and, by extension, the manufacture of exploration equipment.

Thread: How Things Change
How Things Change
Last year the Ravens finished the regular season 13-3 then only to lose in the 1st round of the playoffs.
This year it appears to me that we'll finish 5-11 yes I think we'll beat Miami.
The strong home field advantage we use to have is gone. At best we can only finish 500 at home. With the Steelers last game that may happen. Since it may not mean that much to the Steelers. If we lose to them then we don't finish 500 at home but below.
It appears that the Ravens will pick around number 10 in the draft. Which means we can get an impact player. Hope Billick will turn over the offense to a coach that can run an offense.
Would like to hear some of your thoughts on the upcoming draft. I don't think it's too early to talk about it as far as the Ravens are concerned.
Picture below was a picture taken last night with Gerry Sandusky before the game when I was still happy.

Re: How Things Change
My big question is that everyone is like, "We need to draft Matt Ryan." Who's to say that he'll be there when we pick considering that Miami will have the first pick and last time I checked they too need a QB.
We still have a home field advantage but it's hard to win when you're giving the other team a short field to start. We have zero depth on Defense. We have an aging QB that got old fast and won't admit that he's hurt. We have a back-up/former starter/starter that is consistant being inconsistant. It's been five years and he still can't stop zeroing in on one receiver.
Billick wants this team to be a ball control clock control team to keep the other team off the field and not allow them to score. Let's stop with running the same running plays that you ran when Jamal was here. Let McGhee run to the outside and not up the middle with poor blocking. Let's open the passing game up and try to do something creative...like throw for more yards then the yards needed to make a first down.Pffffff! I trust wikipedia more than the NFL. If anyone would know football, it is clearly wikipedia.

Re: How Things Change
I would like to say to all the fans that are saying blow up the team, get rid of everybody, stop going to the games....get real people. Yes you have every right to do what you please, but to say you are making a statement to the team by leaving is a joke. First they don't care, second you are only hurting your own fans by selling out to opposing fans. Yes this season sucks real bad, but it is not because we have "I" players, it is because of injuries, and lack of a QB plain and simple. Do any of you really think that if the pats had the same amount of injuries at the same key positions we have they would be this good......hell no. Again i am not saying you are not a real fan if you leave or don't come, but you are only hurting me and the others who will not miss a game and do not want to be surrounded b stealer fans. It seems bad now, it will get better just show up people you would hate to not be at another great game like the NE game. On to steve's topic i want nothing to do with Matt Ryan i think he is very overrated, and would love to see Colt come here, he is so quick, strong arm, great decsion maker, could be the franchise guy we have been waiting for all this time.Hating Steeler Fans Since Birth

Re: How Things Change
In answer to one of your questions 52, no I don't think the Pats would suck as bad as we do if they had the injuries we do simply because they have better depth players. I don't know how he does it but Belichick seems to be able to plug guys in where needed and they perform to nearly the same level as the starters. With us, if a starter goes down anywhere on the field we are pretty much screwed.
I disagree that the Ravens don't care if people don't show up or walk out in the second quarter. Sure, they have your money for that game but they still have to be concerned about whether or not they'll have it for next season and the season after that. Prolonged losing (which we haven't done YET) usually leads to loss of revenue from ticket sales, NFL gear sales, etc. They damn well better care!
Re: How Things Change
Well said.
Think of it as the fans going on strike. People walk out of the games and sell their tickets because the care too much. It is the team organization that appears to be indifferent to the fans feelings.
It is okay for the Ravens to keep delivering this sub-standard brand of football this season and basically spit on the fans, but when we voice our displeasure, we are fair weather fans? The Ravens are a fair weather team.
Listening to Billick in his post game pressers makes me sick. People ask him what the problem is and he gives shitty answers like "I don't know" and "You would know better than I do".
The players at this point are no better. The constant penalties and lack of participation in the games are evidence of that. Rolle and McAllister out due to injuries again? It is a slap in the fans faces.I'm normally not a praying man, but if you're up there, please save me Superman!

Re: How Things Change
The team gets a substantial piece of the cash pie from concessions. It's a 100% lock Bisciotti was not happy when he got to the office Monday and saw the take from the Colts game.
When 3/4 of the fans roll out and are not buying stuff, it's noticed big time.
Re: How Things ChangeListening to Billick in his post game pressers makes me sick. People ask him what the problem is and he gives shitty answers like "I don't know" and "You would know better than I do".
WE ALL KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEMS ARE, WE CAN SEE THEM! Our OL played poorly, Boller played poorly, McGahee played poorly. The CBs played poorly. The DL played poorly in regard to pass rush. If you didn't know what the problems were I hope this clears things up.
Re: How Things ChangeThe CBs played poorly.
Which is more frightening.
Re: How Things Change
I just want to say that Sport Steve is the man. I saw you the other night at the game around the lottery tent. My buddy was buying a 98Rock Santa Hat for the "Toys for Tots" program. I would have said Hi and would have loeved to get a picture.
Anyway I dont think this team is as bad as everyone thinks. The injuries have hurt them and yes I am along with most of you that part of the team has given up. I think we will be ok next year but it will be interesting to see what the front office does with the roster. They can't blow it up but I think this draft needs to be primarly a draft for depth.
The first pick should be on a DB to sure the Defense back up. Second round you should get a potential starting OT, I dont think we have a third round pick unless with get a compensatory for Thomas.
Thats what I think
Re: How Things Change
Think about it. Check out the list:
McNair (although it looks like he's done)
Clayton (playing injured all year)
Williams (playing injured much of the year)
Wilcox (key back-up)
Honestly, although i don't feel that injuries should used as an all-encompassing excuse for the problems we've had this year, i still can't believe how much beotching the fans are doing without even metioning how many starters are out and how that matches up with the opposition.
Simply put: Cmac OUT + Rolle OUT + Manning IN = Blow-out in your immediate futureIf you break the rules you can't make the rules.

Gymnastics Ready For NCAA Regionals
By Jacob Most
April 5, 2013 -
Regional Championship Central | Live Scoring
Live Video: (Bars/Beam) (Vault/Floor) | UK Meet Notes
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – Kentucky enters Saturday's NCAA Women's Gymnastics Championship on the back of one of the strongest seasons in school history as UK has set the school record team score twice in 2013.
Kentucky posted the three best all-time UK single-meet team scores this season, while also qualifying for Regionals with a program record regional qualifying score of 196.06.
The Wildcats will compete at the Morgantown regional at 6 p.m. on April 6 inside WVU Coliseum.
UK will make its ninth-consecutive and 25th overall NCAA Regional appearance.
Kentucky will join top-seeded Michigan, No. 2-seed Nebraska, No. 3-seed Illinois, as well as host West Virginia and North Carolina seeded fifth and sixth respectively.
Live video and live scoring will be available at WVUSports.com. The broadcast will feature two simultaneous live streams in split-screen format, with one stream showing vault and floor and the other displaying bars and beam. Both broadcasts will show meet introductions and post-meet awards.
Tickets are available through the West Virginia Ticket Office. All tickets are general admission. Tickets purchased in advance cost $12, while tickets purchased at the gate are $15. Additionally, for groups of 10 or more, tickets cost $9. Gates to WVU Coliseum open at 4 p.m.
Six teams, five all-around competitors (who are not on a qualifying team) and one individual event specialist per event [who has a minimum Regional Qualifying Score (RQS) of 9.4] were named to each of the six predetermined regional host sites.
The top-18 teams are seeded nationally, based on RQS. Teams 19-36 are organized into three pods (19 24, 25-30 and 31-36) and placed geographically at one of the six sites, beginning with teams 19-24 followed by teams 25-30 and then finally teams 31-36. Kentucky is ranked No. 19 nationally.
The top two finishers from each of the six regional sites around the country will advance to the 2013 NCAA Championships in Los Angeles, Calif.
Hosted by UCLA at Pauley Pavilion, the national championships will feature competition between the 12 best gymnastics team in the nation on April 19-21. Top all-around competitions and individual specialists advance as well.
The Wildcats scored 196.775 in the final regular season dual meet at Penn State to top the previous school-record, which they set two weeks earlier at Ball State.
Kentucky scored 196.5 at Ball State, breaking the previous school-record mark of 196.375 set 11 years before.
Competing in the nation's top gymnastics conference, Kentucky finished the Southeastern Conference schedule with three wins, the most in school history, highlighted by a home-opening victory over then-No. 9 Arkansas. UK also beat then-No. 13 Auburn twice, and tied then-No. 6 Georgia at home.
Kentucky scored more than 196 four-consecutive weeks leading up to the SEC Championship. UK had never topped a 196 team score two meets in a row before this season.
Kayla Hartley and Alexis Gross were recently named to the All-SEC team for the first time in each of their careers. They are the first Wildcats to earn All-SEC honors since Michelle Gales in 2005.
Kentucky will begin Regionals on floor exercise. The Wildcats will rotate to vault, then take a bye before bars, and then wrap up the meet on balance beam.
UK's best finish at a regional was third at the 1990 Gainesville Regional and at the 1996 Tuscaloosa Regional.
The Wildcats' highest NCAA Regional finish was third in 1996. UK placed fifth at the 2012 Champaign, Ill. Regional.
Kentucky's best-ever team score came during the 2011 season as UK posted a 195.175 at the Tuscaloosa Regional to finish fifth.
