A study released in the fall found that one in ten Americans use an ereader of some type and one in ten would likely get one in the next six months. If that study is accurate, that means many of us received or bought ourselves an ereader recently, perhaps over the holidays.
Reading used to be simple. Check out a book from the library, buy a new or used one at your favorite bookstore, borrow one from a friend, and just read it! Although those are still options, there are now many more with a variety of ereaders and devices with multiple uses.
We have just revised the ebooks section of our website. Thousands of ebook titles are available through the digital download center. We also have links to resources about various reading devices, and if you don't have an ereader, you can borrow one at the Central Library.
Some studies have found that those who use ereaders read more. Personally, I'm not there yet – I still prefer the traditional book, but we offer both.
Come visit soon, either through our website or at any branch or the Central Library.

The deodar cedar (also known as Indian cedar or Himalayan cedar) is a gymnosperm, which means the seeds it bears are naked, as opposed to being completely covered with a fleshy fruit like an apple. The most common group of gymnosperms is conifers, which are in the pine family Pinaceae. Mostly evergreen and cone bearing, conifer trees and shrubs can be male, female or both.
Deodar cedars are native to the Himalaya mountains from Tibet to Afghanistan. They often grow at high altitudes in India.
Deodar cedars grow in the typical pyramid shape of conifer trees. Most deodar cedar trees we see in cultivation are around 70-80 feet (21.2-24.2 m) tall, but they have the potential to reach 250 feet (76 m). They are also a very broad tree and can easily spread to 50 feet (15 m).
Deodar cedars can live 1,000 years
Cedrus deodara is in the Pinaceae family and is a true cedar unlike some trees we are familiar with, such as western red cedars, which are not actually cedars. The term "true cedar" refers to the fact that the deodar cedar, along with a few other closely related trees, was classified as cedar long ago.
Later, when more of the world was explored, certain trees, such as our native red cedar, reminded people of what they knew as cedar trees. They gave them that same common name but anatomically they are quite different trees. To this day our Thuja plicata, also a member of the Pinaceae family, is referred to by its common name of western red cedar but it is no more closely related to cedars than to pines or redwoods.
The pine family includes 10 genera and about 200 species mostly distributed in the Northern Hemisphere. Members of this family that naturally occur in the Pacific Northwest are Abies, true fir; Psuedotsuga, Douglas fir; Picea, spruce; Pinus, pine. The true cedar, Cedrus, is commonly planted here for ornamental purposes.
We are all familiar with the important role animals, such as bees and butterflies, play in pollinating plants. Flowers attract animals through bright colors or by aroma. Conifers, however, evolved long before flowering plants and this complex relationship between plants and animals. But conifers still need to get pollen from male cones to female cones. For this they rely on wind. Conifers make up for the unpredictable and unreliable nature of wind by replacing efficiency with sheer volume. There are two kinds of cones on conifers, male and female. The cones we are most familiar with that are hard and fall to the ground are the female cones, which contain seeds. The male cones are small and produce large quantities of pollen. This is evident at certain times of the year when the ground, as well as sidewalks and cars, are covered with a fine yellow-green powder. Male cones are lower on the tree to prevent their pollen from fertilizing the female cones on the same tree. Cross breeding is important in almost all organisms.
There are many deodar cedars growing on the zoo grounds. A particularly majestic example grows in front of the Seattle Rotary Education Center in the South Gate Plaza. Children find climbing the massive, low swooping branches irresistible.
Another excellent example can be seen from the boardwalk of the outdoor orangutan forest in the zoo's Trail of Vines. Several large deodar cedars can be viewed from 20 feet (6 m) off the ground. This provides the visitor a good look at the cones developing in an upright fashion along the mature branches.
Conifers are the world's tallest, oldest and most massive trees. However, most of these trees no longer exist. The rate of cutting old growth forests (trees more than 250 years old) has left us with a very small fraction of what was on the earth only a few decades ago. In addition to wood products, conifers are used for turpentine, rosin, pine straw mulch, garland, wreaths, Christmas trees and urban plantings. Our reliance on these wood products makes conifers the most important and most exploited timber and pulp source.
Old growth forests are quickly disappearing. They are a reservoir of biological diversity that we have yet to totally understand. Many species of animals, plants and fungi are totally dependent on old growth forests for survival. Preservation of the few old growth forests that still remain is essential if we are interested in preserving the overall diversity of life. Using our natural resources wisely needs to be part of our everyday lives. Look for wood products that are certified to have not been old growth, and have been removed from the forest without undue destruction. Join and become active in Woodland Park Zoo and other conservation organizations of your choice. Let your elected officials know your views on protecting old growth forests and wild habitats.

Location: Sustainable Biofuels and Co-products Research
Project Number: 1935-41000-083-02-S
Project Type: Non-Assistance Cooperative Agreement
Start Date: Sep 28, 2009
End Date: Sep 27, 2012
Develop pretreatment and fermentation processes to convert lignocellulosic materials such as barley straw, barley hulls, DDGS, and other crop biomass into fuel ethanol and value-added coproducts. This work complements present ARS work to develop advanced bioconversion process for production of cellulosic ethanol and value-added co-products that can be integrated into an existing fuel ethanol plant. The first step in a lignocellulosic biomass bioconversion process normally is pretreatment to open up the structure and subsequently allow increased enzymatic hydrolysis. Soaking in aqueous ammonia (SAA) has been proven to be effective as a pretreatment method of agricultural residues, such as corn stover, corn fiber, barley hull, switchgrass, etc. In this study, SAA will be employed for the pretreatment step and subsequent conversion of SAA pretreated biomass will be investigated.
The composition of specific types of biomass studied in this project will be determined using standard procedures for biomass analysis. Then, pre-treatment processes based upon Soaking in Aqueous Ammonia (SAA) technology will be developed and optimized for each biomass source. SAA will open up the structure of the biomass and subsequently allow increased enzymatic hydrolysis. This pretreated biomass will be subject to saccharification using commercial cellulases with xylanase supplements. The conversion of biomass to free sugars will be monitored by HPLC and standard methods of analysis. Once saccharified, the sugars will be fermented by traditional brewers yeast. In other studies, pre-treated biomass will be simultaneously saccharified and fermented to directly produce ethanol from the pretreated biomass in one step.

Thrilling Wonder Stories 2: Will Self at the Architectural Association in London
Will Self, about to lay down the "DUH" on a questioner.
I'm just back from London, where I participated in Thrilling Wonder Stories 2: Stranger Than Truth, organized by Liam Young and Geoff Manaugh. As the conference site noted: "We have always regaled ourselves with speculative stories of a day yet to come. In these polemic visions we furnish the fictional spaces of tomorrow with objects and ideas that at the same time chronicle the contradictions, inconsistencies, flaws and frailties of the everyday. Slipping suggestively between the real and the imagined they offer a distanced view from which to survey the consequences of various social, environmental and technological scenarios. Thrilling Wonder Stories gathers an ensemble of mad scientists, literary astronauts, digital poets, speculative gamers, mavericks, visionaries and luminaries to spin stories of wondrous possibilities or dark cautionary tales."
One of those luminaries was Will Self, in fine form answering a question submitted via Twitter, about whether he takes notes while on his walks to and from airports--the fodder for his latest book. Uncoiling his lanky form kinetically toward the microphone, almost like an oil derrick or a descending hammer toward a nail, Self emphatically replied, "Well, DUH. It's not like I'm some Buddhist monk or something. I'm a writer." I'm afraid this sent me into a spasm of laughter that almost dislodged me from my chair. It was exactly what I'd been thinking but might've been too polite to say had the question been directed toward me.
Self was in the grouping "Cautionary Tales," along with me (talking about my novel Finch and failed cities) and Paul Duffield, one of the masterminds behind the comic Freak Angels. Before the question session, Self had delivered a pitch-perfect reading from his new book Walking to Hollywood: Memories from Before the Fall, which won't be released in the United States until spring of next year.
Will Self, Jeff VanderMeer, and Paul Duffield occupying their own hinterlands, otherwise known as life in the round.
The airport walks, Self said in the preamble to his reading, were a way to '"radically re-orient" himself by traversing "the hinterlands," spaces that are, to most travelers, just a conduit to a destination. "It takes a whole day to reach open fields from central London," Self added, while noting that the walk to Heathrow was one of the more pleasant in his experience. Flying generally he finds a way of rendering an awe-inspiring experience mundane, as passengers are "herded" from one banal space to another. In fact, he said he's given up flying since a five-week book tour of the U.S. last year. (In a side conversation, I asked him how he'd be getting back to the U.S., vague images of a freighter in my mind, and he made a noncomittal concession to the idea of rescinding his ban at some point in the future.)
Among other strengths, Self's a great satirist and the part of his reading describing a hypothetical leap from the Golden Gate Bridge during an airport walk was not just laugh-inducing but gripping, each word carefully chosen and fitting into an approach to style both modern and baroque simultaneously. All in all, it was a masterful performance--and one I had a front-row seat for, since the participants in each session sat at a table in the center of the audience.
Tomorrow, more on the conference. In the meantime, Paul Charles Smith has a short account online and on my personal blog I've posted a few photos of books acquired during the trip (some of which I'll blog about on Omni).

i have backtrackt4 pre usb installed but when im in and i put a other usb in to use it will not let me mount it this is what it says
$LogFile indicates unclean shutdown (0, 0) Failed to mount '/dev/sdc1': Operation not supported Mount is denied because NTFS is marked to be in use. Choose one action: Choice 1: If you have Windows then disconnect the external devices by clicking on the 'Safely Remove Hardware' icon in the Windows taskbar then shutdown Windows cleanly. Choice 2: If you don't have Windows then you can use the 'force' option for your own responsibility. For example type on the command line: mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdc1 /media/TGRecovery -o force Or add the option to the relevant row in the /etc/fstab file: /dev/sdc1 /media/TGRecovery ntfs-3g force 0 0

Post subject: Cap Casualties
Who would you cut despite there contract? Be realistic.
Doug Jolley
Jerald Sowell
Derrick Blaylock
Jay Fiedler
Kliff Kingsbury
Harry Williams Jr.
Justin McCareins
Ty Law
Those are the guys I would cut despite the dead money.
Guys I wouldn't cut BECAUSE of dead money...
Chad Pennington - Besides the money he is owed I still think he has something left in the tank now that Heimerdinger is out.
Jason Fabini - If we just keep him for one more season there won't be any dead money on our cap from him!
Pete Kendall
Dewayne Robertson - Just too much money...
Eric Barton - He still has something left in the tank.
David Barrett - I feel he deserves a chance as the #1 before we cut him.

I agree with pretty much the whole list. Chris Baker played well, and I didn't really see the point of bringing Jolly in in the first place. I like Jerald Sowell a lot, but BJ Askew also played well with the chance he got this year. McCariens hasn't produced, and Ty Law I don't think we can afford.
I think all the guys you have under "not cut" can still play another year, and with Ty Law probably gone this will be Barrett's chance. Dewayne obviously can play still however just not as good as he should be with the money he makes. If Pennington is ready for training camp I'm sure he'll be just fine.

I don't think it's necessarily a good idea to cut Fabini/Kendall unless Ferguson/Jean-Gilles won the starting job. The thing is though, that we'd only be able to see who won the job after June 1st anyway so cutting would be pointless because then it counts against us. Let's just wait a little longer on these guys so that in the long run it costs us less.
And as for Fabini if we tolerate him one more season it will cost us absolutely nothing on the cap.

we cut kingsbury and fielder no need to waste roster space and there is no reason for two weak armed QB's. Harry williams is not an nfl caLIBER reciever. Everyone else stays.

I like Harry Williams and wouldn't cut him.
His scouting report from ESPN Insider
Harry Willams Jr. is a developmental prospect with great speed (4.41 in the 40-yard dash) and very good all-around athleticism. He remains extremely raw as a route runner and pass-catcher. He must learn to read defensive coverages and he also must improve the sharpness of his routes. Furthermore, Williams must learn to pluck the ball away from his frame and continue to improve his overall focus. However, Williams has the speed, quickness and body control to make big strides in all of his areas of weakness at the next level.
He's a project. He will contribute to special teams and may one day become a 3rd or 4th reciever. Being a 7th round draft pick and someone who was just activated from the practice squad he cost's next to nothing so cutting him for cap reasons is pointless. Whats the point in drafting a project WR to be our 3rd or 4th reciever in the draft when we have a cheap one on the bench.
I agree with the rest of the cuts and might add Reed and Legree they've both done nothing and if were moving to the 3-4 they would both be undersized and useless.

I keep forgetting that Legree and Reed are on this team.
Reed might actually be a decent 3-4 DE as he's an undersized 4-3 DT.

I also like the cuts except for Harry Williams Jr. UNless the jets get a #2 or #1 guy in the offseason, i think Williams stays. He went in the 7th because hes from tuskegee, its not a big school. Hes very fast, and hes tall, 2 things the jets recievers lack right now, even laverneous didnt loook very fast last season. Just get rid of McAirens and ill be happy.
Good cuts though i like it.

Great list! I agree with not cutting Fabini right away because when the Jets draft Ferguson, move D'Brick to LT and then Fabini will move to RT and give Adrian Jones 1 more year to sit and get groomed, he didn't look that good in '05 anyway(Jones).
Curtis Martin is the greatest underrated athlete in any sports history!!!!!

Yeah we might as well keep Fabini and Kendall. If we draft some young talent in the draft, it never hurts to have a veteran to show them the ropes. Plus if we cut them later, it wouldn't be as big of a hit on the cap.
Ok I'm sorry, do you WANT to lose? I throw, you catch, it's not that hard, ok? All right now get the f@$% outta here.

I wouldnt be surprised if Curtis is is cut as well. I think Jolley stays, Baker is ok, but Mangini is going to run 2 TE sets and they need Jolley
Sowell is a FA. I agree that McCareins and Law will get cut

Doocy ignored key fact rendering MA not a "big indicator" of national health care attitudes
Research ››› ››› JOCELYN FONG
Tracking talking points advanced by Republican lawmakers in response to Senator-elect Scott Brown's victory in Massachusetts, Fox & Friends co-host Steve Doocy asserted that the election "may be a big indicator on how people across the country really feel about health care reform in the United States." However, Massachusetts is not representative of the nation as a whole since it already has a health care program that insures nearly all residents -- a unique situation that allowed Brown to argue that Massachusetts would not benefit from health care reform.
Echoing GOP talking points, Doocy suggested Brown's victory reflects nationwide attitudes toward health care
McConnell: "Message" is that "American people" are asking Congress "to stop this healthcare bill." Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell reportedly stated in response to Brown's victory, "I think the message of the moment is that the American people, all across the country, are asking us, even in the most liberal state, Massachusetts, to stop this healthcare bill."
Cornyn: "American people" telling Congress "we need to stop this terrible healthcare bill." Appearing on the January 20 edition of America's Newsroom, Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) stated, "I think the American people, through the voters of Massachusetts, were trying to tell us something. And that is we need to stop this terrible health care bill and start over, as Scott Brown said, and do something that will help bring down the cost, make it more affordable, and make sense."
Doocy: Brown victory "may be a big indicator" of how American people "really feel about health care reform." From the January 20 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends:
DOOCY: Massachusetts voters yesterday sent a Republican to Washington, D.C. Scott Brown is now the Senator-elect, and his win over Democrat Martha Coakley may be a big indicator on how people across the country really feel about health care reform in the United States.
According to a new Rasmussen poll, 78 percent of Brown voters strongly oppose the health care legislation in Congress, and 52 percent of Brown voters say it was the most important issue in determining their votes.
But Doocy ignored key factor making MA not representative of U.S.
Brown campaign: Massachusetts has "already achieved near-universal coverage." Brown stated during the final debate with Coakley, "We have insurance here in Massachusetts. We have some of the best doctors, nurses, and hospitals in the country." Brown further said of the national health care bill, "[M]y job is to be the senator from Massachusetts. I'm not going to be subsidizing for the next three, five years, pick a number, subsidizing what other states have failed to do." Politico's Ben Smith further reported that Eric Fehrnstrom, a Brown aide, stated:
In Massachusetts, 98 percent of residents are covered by insurance through our own state reforms. The plan is not perfect, and we need to get costs down, but we have already achieved near-universal coverage. There is nothing for us in a national plan except higher taxes and more spending to finance coverage expansions in other states. It's a raw deal for Massachusetts.
NY Times: Massachusetts is "unlikely place for a referendum on the health care bill." The New York Times reported on January 19 that "Massachusetts is one of the few states where the benefits promised by the national bill were expected to have little effect on how many of its residents got coverage, making it an unlikely place for a referendum on the health care bill":
Although the race has riveted the nation largely because it was seen as contributing to the success or defeat of the health care bill, the potency of the issue for voters here was difficult to gauge. That is because Massachusetts already has near-universal health coverage, thanks to a law passed when Mitt Romney, a Republican, was governor.
Thus Massachusetts is one of the few states where the benefits promised by the national bill were expected to have little effect on how many of its residents got coverage, making it an unlikely place for a referendum on the health care bill.
Byron York: "On health care, Massachusetts is in a unique position." Washington Examiner chief political correspondent Byron York wrote on January 18 that "[o]n health care, Massachusetts is in a unique position. It already has near-universal coverage, enacted in 2006 by Republican governor Mitt Romney and the Democratic legislature, so a national measure designed to extend coverage to millions of currently-uncovered Americans means little to Bay State residents."
Massachusetts health plan, which is similar to Senate bill, enjoys support of Brown, people of MA
Jonathan Cohn: Brown supports Massachusetts' health care reform, which is similar to national plans. The New Republic's Jonathan Cohn wrote on January 18 that "Scott Brown is running on a promise to block the health care bill in Washington. But, as you may have heard, he is not running on a promise to roll back the reforms that Massachusetts implemented three years ago. In fact, he says he supports those reforms." Cohn added, "[T]he basic architecture of the coverage scheme in Massachusetts is virtually identical to what we'd do nationally if the bills before Congress pass. The big difference -- and, yes, it's a big difference -- is that the Massachusetts plan didn't really try to control costs, as the national reforms would."
Pearlstein: Massachusetts' program "has broad support among voters and the business community." Writing in The Washington Post that "the Massachusetts contest was not a referendum on health-care reform," Steven Pearlstein stated:
Massachusetts has already adopted a reform plan that, with its subsidies and individual mandate and government-run insurance exchange, looks to the naked eye not unlike the plan now before Congress. Despite some initial glitches and higher-than-expected costs, the program has broad support among voters and the business community -- so broad, in fact, that Brown himself has said he would not vote to repeal it. So why would those same voters now be rising up to defeat a national plan modeled on the Massachusetts experiment, only this time with better cost controls and special provisions to protect the state's teaching hospitals and increase its Medicaid funding?
Romney adviser Kaufman on why many MA voters oppose health care reform: "They already paid for it." From a January 13 article at The Daily Caller:
Romney adviser Ron Kaufman, a Washington lobbyist who has been working with the Brown campaign in an unofficial advisory role, said that the people of Massachusetts are "satisfied with what they got" but that they are angry about the federal bill being debated because it would force the state to pay for something they already have: nearly universal coverage.
"They already paid for it," Kaufman said.
Brown said much the same thing during his interview on Fox.
"Why would we subsidize and why would we pay more for something we already have. It makes no sense," he said.
Boston Globe: 59 percent said they favored Massachusetts' health plan. On September 28, 2009, The Boston Globe reported that "[p]ublic support for Massachusetts' closely watched health insurance overhaul has slipped over the past year, a new poll indicates, but residents still support the path-breaking 2006 law by a 2-to-1 ratio." The article further stated: "Amid a severe recession that has led to cuts in state programs and unrelenting job losses, 59 percent of those surveyed said they favored the state's multimillion-dollar insurance initiative, down from 69 percent a year ago. The poll, by the Harvard School of Public Health and The Boston Globe, found that opposition to the law stands at 28 percent, up slightly from 22 percent in a June 2008 survey." The poll also found that "[o]nly 11 percent of state residents favored repealing the law, similar to last year's finding."
Doocy reports that "52 percent of Brown voters say" health care was their "most important issue," but ignores that more Coakley supporters cited reform as number one issue
Rasmussen election night poll shows more Coakley than Brown voters said health care reform most important factor in determining their vote. A Rasmussen Reports election night poll in Massachusetts found that 63 percent of Coakley voters said health care was the most important issue in determining their vote, while 52 percent of Brown voters said it was their top issue. The poll also found that "52% of Coakley supporters Strongly Favor the health care plan," while "[a]nother 41% Somewhat Favor the legislation." As Media Matters for America has documented, pollster Scott Rasmussen previously reportedly worked for President George W. Bush's re-election campaign and for the Republican National Committee in 2003 and 2004.

Have a safe journey home, third umpire!
Opening for England now, Ashwin is due a failure surely and it should be very close on first innings.
That's an incredible bit of fielding too. Run-in, pick up, throw all perfect to the inch.
his 99 is as good as the 103 by kohli.
on this pitch a 100 is like 150

Shouldn't have been given out. But batsman gets piss all benefit these days. May or may not have been out between frames, but looked to me like some part of the bat MAY have been behind the line at the first frames the bails are off. Bugger me to be hung on that evidence.
feeling bad for dhoni for once.
he really deserved it
Chawla must be dissapointed here.
Compared to Jadeja's 3 triple tons, and Ashwin's batting ability he hasn't gotten any plugin at all.

Nothing on the net to say hes fought... Anyone with information?
nice to see the 1st time they find out hes ever even done mma. they brand that shit all over a news paper " Cage fighter jailed " shouldnt it be " drug dealer jailed" and leave the cage fighter part out of it...
James MacAlister BW pro 7-2-0 DNFT#1
10 kids at 33, impressive!
So does anyone know where he trained and fought out of?... Any of his opponents?... How much the UFC paid him?
Vinny Graham- Got nicked a while back. The story mention him only having one leg too?
Heard a few bits from friends of friends but pretty sure even if he was training MMA it wasnt by ours. Fuckin Mail had a few legit angles and decides to go with one with the least substance...
"Cagefighter who quit ring after losing leg in car accident took up new career as playboy drug baron"
followed by
"The court heard former garage boss Graham, who lost his right leg in a motorbike accident in his 20s, never touched the drugs during transactions."
Who proof reads this shit!

Toni Braxton & Babyface's 'Hurt You' hits number one on Billboard chart
Listen to Toni Braxton on iHeartRadio | Listen to Babyface on iHeartRadio
Toni Braxton and Babyface are finding themselves in a spot they haven't been at in over a decade - at number one on Billboard's Adult R&B Songs chart.
This week the duo's collaboration "Hurt You" from their upcoming album Love, Marriage & Divorce rose from number two to take the top spot on the chart. It marks the first time Braxton has topped the chart since her song "Just Be a Man About It" spent two weeks at number one in 2000.
Babyface has spent even more time away from the peak position. His last number one song was his 1997 track "Every Time I Close My Eyes."
Toni Braxton and Babyface's Love, Marriage & Divorce is set to hit stores on February 4th.

Let's all hope the two players-to-be-named-later that the Tigers sent to the Chicago Cubs end up being a bunch of nobodies because the Tigers have decided to part ways with recently-acquired platoon man Jeff Baker after just 15 games and 37 (abysmal) plate appearances. Baker was brought in to hit against left-handed pitching, but he managed a terrible .185/.231/.416 line in that capacity as a member of the Tigers.
It's an incredibly small sample size of course, and he most certainly would hit better than that going forward, but the club has apparently decided to "shake things up a bit" with a move. Replacing Baker on the active roster will be top outfield prospect (unless you consider Nick Castellanos to now be an outfield prospect) Avisail Garcia.no comments
Lynn Henning had a column up on The Detroit News yesterday about the likely roster turnover we can expect between this year and next. It's actually a good piece in its simplicity – just a list of players with a short blurb on each – but it does a nice job of showing just how different next year's squad may be.
I suggest reading the full piece if you haven't already, but here's the list of guys he's says won't be back:
Jose Valverde, RP
Jhonny Peralta, SS
Jeff Baker, IF/OF
Ryan Raburn, IF/OF
Brennan Boesch, OF
Quintin Berry, OF
Delmon Young, OF/DH
Anibal Sanchez, SP
Phil Coke, RP
Ramon Santiago, IF
I think the list is sound in a general sense, although we could nitpick about the roles of Santiago, Boesch, and Berry, but I do have one major gripe and it's about Peralta being included on this list. In fairness to Henning, he's not suggesting that the Tigers walk away from Peralta, but he advocates that trading him might help to plug holes elsewhere (namely defensive holes). Here's what he says about him:no comments
Miguel Cabrera was given the afternoon off on Sunday to help heal his injured ankle that forced him to exit Thursday's game early and serve as the team's designated hitter on Friday and Saturday. The hope was that pairing the break on Sunday with the scheduled off-day on Monday would allow him to return to full action this week.
It appears the strategy worked, as Cabrera will rejoin the team both in the lineup and in the field tonight.
Here's the lineup for Tuesday's 8:00 PM (ET) series opener versus the Kansas City Royals. (via Brian Britten, director of media relations for the Tigers).no comments
Delmon Young homered in the sixth inning of Sunday's game against the Angels to provide a bit of extra insurance in the eventual 5-2 win. The homer, along with an earlier double, gave Young four extra base hits in the last two games. With Miguel Cabrera hobbled for the series (and out completely on Sunday) the extra thump in the lineup was greatly appreciated.
But Delmon's hot bat hasn't been limited to just these two games against the Angels, he's been on a relative tear for the entire month of August. Here's his line (in 86 plate appearances): .309/.337/.506. His walk rate still hasn't been any good (just 3.4%), but his strikeout rate has been low (9.3%, about half of his career rate) and he's actually been driving the ball. Young has made a career out of people mistaking him for a power hitter (his career isolated power is only .139), but he's been true slugger for the month with an ISO just shy of .200.
If this is what Delmon could be, he'd be a valuable hitter, even at the DH position. Now, I'm well past the point of believing that he will suddenly morph into a plus bat, but it wouldn't take a boost in BABIP or HR/FB rate to do it – he has the necessary hitting tools already – but what it would take is an adjustment in either his walk or strikeout rates.no comments
The Detroit Tigers defeated the Los Angeles Angels 5-2 on Sunday afternoon behind a fantastic pitching effort by Max Scherzer, and a power display by the middle of the order. Here are the highlights:no comments
The Detroit Tigers defeated the Los Angeles Angels 5-2 on Sunday afternoon to take the series two games to one. The Tigers hold a 4-2 season series record versus the Angels with three games left to play (in Anaheim in two weeks).
The Tigers are currently competing with five teams for playoff positioning as we turn to the home stretch of the season. The Chicago White Sox are the obvious competition, they lead the AL Central by a couple of games, but they're also battling it out with the Tampa Bay Rays, the Oakland Athletics, the Baltimore Orioles, and the Angels for a potential Wild Card berth (should it come to that).
Detroit has put up a strong showing versus that collective group with a 21-13 combined record (they're even or better versus each of the five teams).
Detroit's remaining schedule should be one of the easier in baseball, and should provide every opportunity for the team to show they deserve a spot in October. Here's the breakdown of their 35 remaining games (in order of my perceived playoff relevance):
The lineups have been announced for the Detroit Tigers' Sunday matinee versus the Los Angeles Angels and Miguel Cabrera's name is missing for the first time all year. MLive's Chris Iott makes the announcement:
Cabrera is not in the starting lineup for the game today against the Los Angeles Angels. He has started each of the first 126 games this season, but he has been battling a right ankle injury that forced him out of the game early Thursday.
The ankle must not have affected him too much at the plate – he had two extra base hits and a 1.000 OPS in two games as the team's DH – but he wasn't healthy enough to play in the field, and the team could really use Miguel Cabrera at 100% down the stretch.
With Cabrera out of the lineup, Delmon Young will shift back to DH, and Jeff Baker will remain at the hot corner. Andy Dirks will start in the outfield and bat third.

Medicare 101 Video Series
"Medicare Prescription Drug Plans"
If you are like many people on Medicare, you rely on prescription medications to maintain your health. And, even if you are fortunate enough not to require prescription drugs now, you realize you may need them in the future. Considering the high cost of prescription drugs these days, most people on Medicare want prescription drug coverage.
A Medicare Prescription Drug Plan – often called a PDP – is the portion of Medicare known as Part D. You don't automatically get Medicare Part D coverage when you sign up for Medicare Parts A and B (also known as Original Medicare). Prescription Drug Plans work like many other insurance plans. Typically, you pay a portion of your prescription drug costs and the health insurance plan pays the rest.
With all PDPs, coverage is provided in three levels. In Level 1, many PDPs require that you meet a deductible before the plan begins to pay benefits. Once the deductible is met, you will pay a portion of the cost of the prescription drug either as a copayment or coinsurance. You continue to share the cost of your prescriptions by paying copayments or coinsurance until your total cost reaches a certain dollar limit.
When you've reached this limit, your coverage moves to Level 2. This level has become known as the "coverage gap" or "donut hole." While there are some plans that cover the cost of generic drugs while you're in Level 2, with many plans, you are required to pay a portion of your prescription drug costs until you reach another limit set by the federal government. You often will hear this "limit" referred to as the TrOOP. TrOOP is an acronym for True Out-Of-Pocket Costs. TrOOP is your total amount of out-of-pocket costs from Level 1 plus your out-of-pocket costs from Level 2.
When you've reached your TrOOP, you move to Level 3. Here, your out-of-pocket costs are minimal. In Level 3, you'll pay predictable copayments or coinsurance for your prescription medications and the plan will pay the balance.
Medicare contracts with private insurance companies, such as Arkansas Blue Cross, to sell Medicare-approved Prescription Drug Plans. PDPs only are available from private insurance companies. To enroll in a PDP, you must be entitled to Medicare Part A or enrolled in Part B, and you must live in the health insurance company's service area. You may purchase a Part D plan — PDP — regardless of any health conditions you may have.
Many people choose to buy a PDP during the period the federal government calls the Initial Enrollment Period. This is the time period leading up to and just following your 65th birthday. This is the same time you sign up for Medicare Parts A and B. The Initial Enrollment Period lasts 7 months. It begins three months before you turn 65, includes the month of your birthday, and ends three months after your birthday month. You can buy a PDP — or Medicare Part D plan — any time during the Initial Enrollment Period. Your benefits will become effective on the first day of your birthday month if you sign up early. Or, on the first day of the following month if you enroll after your birthday.
Many people plan to continue working after age 65 and will have good prescription drug coverage through their employer — or a spouse's employer. The employer is required to provide you with documentation telling you if your group prescription drug coverage is equal to or better than Medicare Part D. If the employer's coverage is "as good" as the coverage offered through Medicare Part D, you may choose to delay buying a PDP.
If you miss enrolling in a PDP during your Initial Enrollment Period, the government will charge you a small penalty — unless you can show you had prescription drug coverage that was as good or better than Medicare Part D. If you do not enroll during your Initial Enrollment Period, you can enroll in a PDP during the Annual Election Period from October 15th through December 7th. However, your coverage will not become effective until the following January 1st. So you could be without drug coverage for a period of time.
There are opportunities in which you can enroll in a PDP after your Initial Enrollment Period without penalty and without waiting for the Annual Election Period. These are called Special Enrollment Periods. An example is: If you retire from active employment and no longer have group drug coverage. We advise people on Medicare to enroll in a PDP when they are first eligible. Remember, Medicare Parts A and B do not cover prescription drugs, nor do Medicare Supplement Plans or some Medicare Advantage Plans.
Adding a PDP to a Medicare supplement plan or Medicare Advantage plan that does not already include prescription drug coverage is an important part of preparing for your healthcare as you turn 65. Even if you only have Original Medicare, you still can enroll in a PDP. To choose the PDP that's right for you, you should consider the premium cost, the benefits you get for that cost, whether or not your prescriptions are on the health insurance plan's drug list, and the service you will receive from the insurance company you choose.
One of the knowledgeable representatives at Arkansas Blue Cross can help you evaluate the PDP that works best for you. We'll walk you through the process of understanding your choices and when to enroll. We want you to have the peace of mind that comes from knowing your medications will be covered when you need them and at a price you can afford. Our representatives are available to help answer any additional questions you may have about Medicare PDPs. Ask us today.

From the Photographer:
"The [style shoot] was based on a real couple, Hilary and Paul, who wanted to bring to life their version of the famous founding couple, John and Abigail Adams. 'The Adams' relationship is an inspiration and John Adams' core values and morals were way beyond his time. We admired their relationship so much we used one of their [estimated 12,000] love letters as a reading in our wedding ceremony,' said Hilary. It was well known that Mr. and Mrs. Adams were avid letter writers, so we decided to incorporate the theme of love letters into the [style shoot] as well. Our calligrapher, also a bit of a history buff it would seem, went online and found us Abigail Adams stamps for the invitation suite and even researched the address at which Abigail had been living before her marriage to use on the RSVP cards. While John was in office many people called the couple 'Mr. President' and 'Mrs. President,' so we made some mugs with those titles on the side.'" —Mollie Tobias Photography

Clippers Sale To Ballmer Complete
Get the latest from Fox Sports LA on iHeartRadio
Steve Ballmer is officially the new owner of the Los Angeles Clippers. The sale of the team from the Sterling Family Trust to the former Microsoft CEO was finalized today. The NBA Board of Governors previously approved the sale and Ballmer is now the Clippers Governor.
The sale was orchestrated by wife Shelly Sterling after husband Donald was given a lifetime ban by the NBA for racist comments against African Americans. The league also urged Sterling to sell the team rather than be forced out as owner. Ballmer is believed to have paid two-billion-dollars for the NBA franchise.

Steve Nash said Wednesday he is still undergoing rehabilitation for the injuries that sidelined him late in the NBA season but plans on playing in his two soccer charity games this summer and plans to be "100 percent" for next season with the Lakers.
"I'm fighting every day to get back to 100 percent and I think I'll be able to play in both events," Nash said. "Most important, by the time season comes around I'll be 100 percent and be in a great position to have a great year.
"I'm still rehabbing now, but I should be good to go and plan on playing in both."
The 39-year-old Nash, limited by hamstring and back issues with the Lakers, was on a conference call to promote his Steve Nash Showdown, a pair of 8-a-side soccer charity games to be played June 26 in New York and July 14 in downtown Los Angeles.
The games feature NBA players combined with international soccer stars, though it has yet to be determined which players will participate in each event.
This will be the sixth time Nash's game will be played in New York and the first time in Los Angeles. The L.A. event will be played at Red Shield Community Center, a few blocks west of Staples Center.
The events are free to the public, but through donation packages, fans can be on the field with the players and join them later for the postgame party.
Money raised from the games go to the Steve Nash Foundation, which assists underserved children around the world.
The games are played in local parks, taking the players of both sports back to their roots.
"You have NBA players and international soccer stars play on the streets again as they did as a kid," Nash said. "These parks are accessible, not pretentious. It's not as if they're in a stadium where fans are miles away from the action.
"To be able to do an event that has longevity and lasts has got to be a lot of fun. That's what's made the showdown in New York, and hopefully this year in L.A., fun is the atmosphere. It's international sports stars playing in a regular park."
Among the NBA players listed from past rosters on the Nash Foundation web site are Tony Parker, Grant Hill, Baron Davis and Brandon Jennings. Some of the soccer stars named are Robbie Rogers, Thierry Henry, Claudio Reyna, Patrick Vieira, Maurice Edu and Giuseppe Rossi.
If there was one player Nash would dream of luring to the events, he said it would be Lionel Messi.
And if Dwight Howard played, where would he be on the field?
"I think Dwight would be best served in goal," Nash said. "But maybe he could surprise me out on the field a little bit."
Nash was asked how is former teammate -- and former Showdown participant -- Jason Kidd would fare if he became a head coach in the NBA.
Kidd is a candidate for the Brooklyn Nets job.
"I think Jason would be a fantastic coach," Nash said. "He's been a coach on the floor his whole career, he's played a long time and he has not only great acumen for the game but maybe a special position in the game to draw respect from the players. He's only just removed from the game, so he'd be a great NBA coach."

Undergraduate Mathematics Conference Receives High Marks
Students from as far away as the University of Southern California, the University of Utah, and the University of Nevada traveled to the third annual Shenandoah Undergraduate Mathematics and Statistics (SUMS) Conference at JMU. The students from the western schools, along with 86 JMU students, were among 250 presenters and attendees of this years conference, held Saturday, Oct.13 at the Health and Human Services building on JMU's campus east of Interstate 81.
Published October 2007
Poster winners credit an early start in field research
Lacking any classroom training in hydrology, JMU junior Sean Porse felt a little odd stepping right into the middle of an ongoing hydrology research project on the shores of the Great Lakes in northern Michigan last summer."The first day I was out in the field, Dr. (Steve) Baedke was drawing diagrams in the sand on the beach right at Lake Huron, teaching me stuff," Porse said. "I was pretty much a fish out of water for a couple days, but it's a really good way to learn when you're put into a situation like that."

Jay Z & Beyonce add more 'On The Run dates
Listen to Jay Z on iHeartRadio | Listen to Beyonce on iHeartRadio
Jay Z and Beyonce continue to ignore the drama surrounding the leaked video of Solange Knowles attacking the rapper by adding new dates to their "On The Run" tour.
The couple is now scheduled to perform at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California on August 3 and at AT&T Park in San Francisco on August 6, in addition to the previously scheduled concert dates.
Beyonce and Jay Z were also all smiles on Monday when they sat courtside together at the Brooklyn Nets' playoff game against the Miami Heat.
None of the parties involved has discussed what precipitated Solange's outburst in the elevator at the Standard Hotel in New York.

Montana station hacked: Zombies attacking. Shurtleff told feds about Swallow. North Korea tests third nuke.
Happy Tuesday. "This is not a test..." A hacker interrupted a Montana television station's programming last night to warn of a zombie attack underway, with the emergency alert system announcing that "dead bodies are rising from their graves." The best line of the story: "the hoax alert generated at least four calls to police to see if it was true." [AP] OK, and now back to our regularly scheduled news updates:
Topping the news: Then-Attorney General Mark Shurtleff says he went to the U.S. attorney for Utah after hearing of an arrangement with Jeremy Johnson that didn't sit well with Shurtleff. [Trib] [DNews]

Tweets of the day: From @BjaminWood: "Sex education bill passes, and the room clears immediately after. #HotTopic"
And from @RobertGehrke: "House debating ban on smoking in cars. I've taken to smoking in my car so my kids are ready to breathe Utah air. #conditioning"
Happy birthday: To Sen. Mike Lee's Press Secretary Emily Bennion, and belated wishes to former Utah Gov. Mike Leavitt, who turned 62 yesterday, and to Salt Lake County's Jason Yocom, who hit the big 4-0 on Monday.
Overheard on the Hill: "He's gonna be ticked. But he doesn't pack." - Rep. Paul Ray, R-Clearfield, trying to get a bill held in Rules, when asked what the sponsor will think.
Happening today: Gov. Gary Herbert holds a media availability to discuss issues from the Legislature, and President Barack Obama gives his State of the Union address. Look for coverage of both at sltrib.com. And for added fun, follow along as we tweet from the SOTU: @thomaswburr and @emilytandrews.
In other news: On bad air days, Salt Lake County residents may get reduced fees at recreation facilities like pools and gyms under a proposed ordinance from two County Councilmen. [Trib]
-> In the wake of the release of a 60-page tome of criticisms against various city officials, Eagle Mountain's mayor says that the allegations of raising utility rates without advising citizens are false. [Herald]
-> Pat Bagley offers his take on Pope Benedict XVI's resignation. [Trib]
-> An unloaded handgun found in a carry-on bag marks the ninth firearm uncovered this year by TSA agents at Salt Lake City International Airport. [Trib]
From the Hill: Here's your daily legislative schedule. [Trib]
-> Despite a bitter debate about kids' health versus personal freedoms, a bill that would make it illegal to smoke in a car where children under 15 are present passed through the House by a 41-30 vote. [Trib] [Herald] Bob Bernick notes that new House freshman voted against the bill. [UtahPolicy]
-> A bill that would create a website for parents to teach their kids sex ed passed through a Senate committee, with the support of teenagers from Timpview High School. [Trib][DNews] [Herald] [StandardX] [Fox13]

-> Rep. Rob Bishop spoked to the Utah Legislature, where, amidst jokes and laughs, he toed the party line on reducing the size of government. [Trib] [Fox13]
-> Freshman Sen. Deidre Henderson is sponsoring a bill that would ask the federal government to lower its gas tax to let states raise their tax by the same amount giving states a more localized control over the revenue. [Trib]
-> A bill to add 80 mph zones on some stretches of freeways cleared a Senate committee, with some lawmakers even wondering if 80 mph should become the statewide freeway limit. [Trib]
-> It may be easier for drug offenders who have turned their lives around to get their records wiped, thanks to a new bill that passed a Senate committee. [Trib]
-> Government-owned recreation facilities and schools that offer free play at recess wouldn't be held liable for head injuries suffered on their property if a proposed bill advances. [Trib]
-> A task force that helps veterans reintegrate was reauthorized in a House committee.[DNews]
-> In an effort to increase transparency, an advancing bill would create a website where lawmakers could post their emails and make them available to the public. [Herald]
Nationally: You can expect President Barack Obama to be forceful, even aggressive in his State of the Union speech tonight, with a new strategy in play. [Politico] You can also expect him to call for reducing the country's nuclear arsenal and hammer home a point about climate change. [NYTimes] [Politico]
-> Sen. Marco Rubio, the up-and-coming face of the GOP, will deliver the Republican's response to the president's speech. [WaPost] And for a third perspective, Sen. Rand Paul will deliver the tea party response. [WaPost] [Politico]
-> No slouching or yawning: being the First Lady's guest to the State of the Union means being camera-ready at all times. [WaPost] This year, Michelle Obama's guests will include the parents of a 15-year-old girl who was shot and killed in Chicago last month, just days after marching in the Inaugural Parade. [APviaTrib]
-> Ted Nugent, a vociferous opponent of President Barack Obama, will be attending the State of the Union although decidedly not in the First Lady's box. The rocker will be attending as a guest of Rep. Steve Stockman, a Texas Republican. [Politico]
-> Sen. Lindsey Graham from South Carolina is threatening to hold up the confirmations of the CIA director nominee, John Brennan, and Defense Secretary nominee, ex-Sen. Chuck Hagel, if the Obama administration doesn't release more information on the Sept. 11, 2012 attack in Benghazi. [NYTimes] [WaPost] [Politico] [APviaTrib]
-> Nonetheless, the Senate Armed Services committee is forging ahead with Hagel's confirmation vote today, with support from Sen. John McCain. [APviaTrib] [NYTimes][Politico]
-> Despite strong support in the Senate, some House GOP members are still grappling with a 10-page segment of the Violence Against Women Act that would allow Native American cops and courts to go after non-Native Americans for offenses committed on tribal lands. [NYTimes]
-> Young people in Montana are more open to social change and engaging in politics and bigger government. [NYTimes]

The Thomas Samworth Hunting and Sporting Collection
Thomas G. Samworth, the editor of the American Rifleman, published a number of books on hunting and firearms. One of the most highly sought is The American Wild Turkey, by Florence, South Carolina lawyer Henry E. Davis.

First-time web designer here, just set up a site for my music, zircona.net with ipage as the hosting company. I wrote some jquery for my site (mouseover and mouseleave for the buttons), but it's not working. I contacted ipage about it, and this was their response:
"The issue is causing due to script. The css file is working fine. I have copied the index files to a test folder and have changed the the background color in 'index.css' file. The changes can be seen in http://zircona.net/test/ . I would request you to please contact your webmaster and further verify the issue."
How do I find out who my webmaster is?
Hi there,
The reason it's not working is that you have not included the jQuery library anywhere on the page you link to.Try adding this before your index.js file:
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
BTW, your web master is the person who made the page or who looks after and runs the site. In this case it's probably you.
OK, I put it at the top of my index.js file but the buttons still aren't changing color - what did I do wrong?
What it seems that you did wrong is to put HTML code in to the JavaScript file.
Hi Paul,
Where are you seeing this?I was looking at the page http://zircona.net/test/, which when I load it still throws the following error:
Uncaught ReferenceError: $ is not defined
Aha, it takes a bit of creativity to see that, in what he said.
It seems that his test page hasn't been updated to reflect what he is trying to do.
Doh! I see what you mean now.It's early here.
OK, I removed it from my js file and put it in my HTML file - still not working. Do I need to remove one of the links from the HTML page?
(BTW, I am looking at zircona.net, not zircona.net/test)
You currently have (whitespace intentional):
<link rel="stylesheet" href="index.css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="index.js">
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js" type="text/javascript">
Change it to:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="index.css" />
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="index.js">
See what that does.
The page is blank now - there's nothing on it.
Oh dear!
I just had a look at the page.You haven't closed the second script tag.
Change this:
<script type="text/javascript" src="index.js">
into this:
<script type="text/javascript" src="index.js"></script>
and see if that does the trick.
BINGO. It's working now, thanks for your help!
No problem. Happy to help
Now that it's working, I wanted to make a couple of suggestions regarding the code.
I took the liberty of rewriting index.js:
function getGreeting(date){ var today = date;
var h = today.getHours();
if (h > 0 && h < 12){
message = "Good Morning!";
} else if (h >= 12 && h < 17){
message = "Good Afternoon!";
} else {
message = "Good Evening!";
return message;
$(document).ready(function() {
var date = new Date();
document.getElementById("greeting").innerHTML = getGreeting(date);
$('.buttons li, .contact, .facebook, .rn').mouseenter(function() {
$(this).fadeTo('fast', 0.5);
$('.buttons li, .contact, .facebook, .rn').mouseleave(function() {
$(this).fadeTo('fast', 1);
Thanks, I'm just using what I've learned from Codecademy so far.

After a 30-day free trial, FamilyInHistory costs from $8.49 to $18.49 per month.
Before signing on, check out similar free sites, such as SharedTree, Geni (where you can collaborate with relatives on a tree, but can't yet upload a GEDCOM—a spokesperson told me to expect GEDCOM uploads by the end of the year) or Ancestry.com Member Trees (you can build a free tree even if you don't have an Ancestry.com subscription, but nonsubscribers can't access results of the automated Ancestry.com database searches).
To search FamilyRelatives' record databases, you'll need a subscription ($75 for a year) or a pay-per-view account (50 units cost $10; 150 units cost $23.50).
If you go to the New York Times site, you can enter your search terms in the bar near the top of the page and select whether you want to search articles since 1981 or before 1981. Once you have your results, you can select the Advanced option to limit your search to specific dates. The stories are downloadable as PDF documents. (If you happen across articles that aren't in the free years, they're $4.95 each, or you can get a monthly pass for $7.95 that allows 100 story downloads.)
I went hog wild and found a lot of fascinating articles. You don't have to have New York City roots to find good material. None of my ancestors' names turned up in the search, but I found great articles about the ships my ancestors came over from Europe on. (For example, two months before my great-grandfather arrived, an emergency appendectomy was performed on the S.S. Uranium with the E string from a violin.)
You should also try searching for your hometown, just for fun. I discovered an article about a Wellington, Ohio, dairy magnate's campaign against oleomargarine and "filled cheese" in 1894. After his impassioned speech, he raised $150 for the cause in just a few minutes.
Give the search a try, and leave me a comment about your own good finds!

I have Dell Latitude D5400 with Intel® 4500MHD graphic card, and right now I have a problem. Internal wifi is working with managed and monitor mode wih iniection. Additionaly rtl8187 and r8187 work properly with full infection.
Does this Kernel have not properl Intel 4500MHD driver included ?
I am trying to install latest xf86-video-intel-2.x.x driver and I have an error:
Entering directory `/mnt/sdb3/intel_driver/xf86-video-intel-2.5.0/src/bios_reader'

bios_reader.c:43: error: previous declaration of 'CARD32' was here
make[3]: *** [bios_reader.o] Error 1
I was not able to find proper solution for that, I use the BT3 with additional partition with changes directory to save changes.
Is hear any body who can create lzm or add proper compiz to current BT3 usb build for current driver ?
Right now i have VESA only on this laptop and without full screen settings and proper compiz functionality.
Thanks for help in advice.
