Top ten successful seasons
With Man Utd chasing a quintuple, skysports.com looks at sides that have enjoyed similarly excellent campaigns
Last Updated: 26/03/09 9:57am
Ferguson: How many trophies will he lift this season?
Sky Bet
Football Betting
The word quintuple does not often crop up in football circles but it has become an essential part of the vocabulary for any Manchester United fan over the last few weeks.
Sir Alex Ferguson's men went to Japan before Christmas to triumph in the Club World Cup and beat Tottenham on penalties in the Carling Cup final to capture the second of a possible five trophies.
They are hoping to claim Premier League, UEFA Champions League and FA Cup winners' medals over the next few months but which other teams around the world have enjoyed similarly successful campaigns?
Manchester United - 1999
United became the first English team to win the domestic double as well as the Champions League ten years ago. They clinched the Premier League title with a 2-1 victory over Tottenham on the final day of the season and defeated Newcastle 2-0 at Wembley in the final of the FA Cup. Bayern Munich looked set to deny United in the Champions League before Teddy Sheringham and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer popped up in stoppage time to write their names into club folklore and seal the most dramatic of 2-1 wins.
Celtic - 1967
Jock Stein led Celtic to an unprecedented quadruple with the highlight being a European Cup victory over Inter Milan in Lisbon. The Bhoys also swept aside everyone they met on the domestic scene as they landed the Scottish League, the Scottish Cup and the Scottish League Cup. Victory in the Glasgow Cup also ensured the club won every competition they entered.
Ajax - 1972
Ajax may not have challenged for Champions League glory in recent years but they were once the dominant force in European football and won a fantastic treble in 1972. Johan Cruyff netted both goals as Ajax beat Inter Milan 2-0 to be crowned kings of the continent, while they also won the Eredivisie and the Dutch Cup.
PSV Eindhoven - 1988
Another fine year for Dutch football as PSV Eindhoven emerged triumphant in the European Cup. Under the guidance of current Chelsea manager Guus Hiddink, PSV beat Benfica on penalties after a goalless final. They matched Ajax's achievement of 1972 by coming out on top in the Eredivisie and winning the Cup.
Al Ahly - 2005 and 2006
Winning the treble is not confined to European teams and Al Ahly managed to do it twice in succession earlier this decade. Al Ahly became African champions in 2005 and also won the Egyptian league and cup double. Not content with winning everything once, Al Ahly defended all their trophies 12 months later.
Santos - 1962 and 1963
Pele spent virtually all of his career with homeland club Santos and, not surprisingly, they were a formidable outfit during the 1960s. Santos captured Brazil's national championship for five years in a row from 1961 to 1965 and they backed it up with success in international club competitions. In 1962 and 1963 they won the Copa Libertadores and the Intercontinental Cup.
Liverpool - 2001
Liverpool won a unique treble under Gerard Houllier which started with a League Cup final win over Birmingham on penalties. Michael Owen was the star of the FA Cup showpiece as his two late goals stunned Arsenal, while the Uefa Cup final was a thriller from start to finish as the Reds beat Alaves 5-4 after extra time. Liverpool went on to add two more pieces of silverware to their trophy cabinet at the start of the next season as they prevailed in the Community Shield and the European Super Cup.
Porto - 2003
Jose Mourinho made his name at Porto and his greatest accomplishment was leading the unheralded Portuguese side to Champions League glory in 2004. A year earlier, however, he had masterminded an impressive treble which culminated with victory over Celtic in the final of the Uefa Cup. Porto had managed to stay focused on domestic matters and won the SuperLiga and the Portuguese Cup.
Galatasaray - 2000
Galatasaray won a similar treble to Porto three years earlier with a Turkish double plus the Uefa Cup. Fatih Terim's men won the league and cup at home before becoming the first Turkish club to claim a major European trophy. They beat Arsenal 4-1 on penalties in the final of the Uefa Cup and went on to defeat Real Madrid in the European Super Cup at the start of the following season.
Linfield - 1922 and 1962
Linfield have twice taken all seven trophies available to them, winning the league championship, Irish Cup, Alhambra Cup, Gold Cup, City Cup, County Antrim Shield and Charity Cup. They are the most successful club in the history of Northern Irish football with 48 domestic titles.

Version 2013 hits tomorrow, with UI, mechanics and character balancing changes. It has been confirmed that this version of the game will be a main tournament game at EVO 2013 in July and will be a 1 on 1 competition as opposed to Vanilla SFxT's 2 on 2 competition. It will also feature prominently at the IGN Pro League this year.
The latest member of the FGC to join Capcom Combofiend, Peter Rosas, has been going through character specific changes in detail in a bunch of videos.
Who's planning on trying it? Will it be laughed off the stage at EVO? Are there any fans of Vanilla SFxT?
I think it'll have a following, it is a Capcom game after all, but only the top players will give it a chance. It has a lot of work to do to win back players who don't intend to make money from it. I'm just happy to see less time-outs, less jab jab jab jab and more KOs. It's impossible that it could somehow be a worse game with the update than without it.

Tough or Vulnerable?
- By Lucas Freire
- 24 August, 2013
- 1 Comment
Edward Snowden leaked information on how the US government does violence to American citizens in the name of saving them from terrorist threats. He's now either a traitor or a hero, says the US media.
There's a reason why Snowden sent the evidence to a UK journalist with a strong record of publications advancing civil liberty and denouncing state violence. All things being equal, a paper outside the US would be more likely to publish the content.
Moreover, this journalist happens to live in Brazil and was technically less likely to fall under the prey of the so-called 'special relationship' between the US and the UK.
That is, until his partner, David Miranda, got detained in Heathrow airport for nine hours, with his laptop and other media used to store information confiscated.
According to UK law, this kind of detention can happen if someone is suspected of terrorism. I don't want to present an analysis here. I have a series of points to suggest.
First, if this is mere harassment, then it's by no means subtle. If it's a 'message' to potential whistleblowers, a message that their lives will be hard after they decide to denounce tyranny, well, this shouldn't surprise them.
Second, if they get away maintaining that Miranda was a suspected 'terrorist' under UK law when he was detained, then more than a few eyebrows will raise as to who defines what a terrorist is in the country.
Is it America? After all, Snowden leaked information on America, not the UK. So, was Miranda detained to 'make Britain safe' in a way that actually makes it less safe because it's taking orders from a foreign power?
Or, perhaps, Britain has something to hide? This is indicated by Miranda's partner, who now promises to reveal information on the UK in retaliation. Is Britain, or rather the group in charge of it, trying to look tough on national security?
However, by trying so hard to look 'tough' they end up looking vulnerable. Subverting its own citizens' rights and its own law. Taking disproportionate action. Retaliating on a personal level.
This, of course, is not unheard of. Since the advent of the 'social contract' fiction, people have to feel threatened and strong at the same time. Threatened with the potential 'attack' that will come if they're not strong enough. Strong, because they need to trust Nanny State will take care of them.
David Miranda was caught up in the delicate balance of threat and security that Modern politics has been employing to justify state violence. For some time, the balance used to abhor weak government in domestic politics was rejected to account for world politics.
What Miranda's case tells us of the 'special relationship' between the UK and the US is that this is no longer the case. The 'strong man' needed to impose order and security at home is now increasingly being sought after between nations. Or maybe not yet. Perhaps the British government does indeed have something to hide.

Many thanks to Snowden and Manning. I hope I'd blow the whistle if such secrets ever came before me. My form class will be discussing public interest defense and nullification of statute by juries.

People on this forum have been saying alot of things about how graphics don't matter... I conquer I agree that gameplay is more important but...graphics are awsome ill be playing Lost Planet and someone will throw a grenade at my face, ill be like o ****,and then it explodes and it will be so real i will actually scream,and the ragdoll now thats another thing that just soooooo funny some times, and for me if the rag doll is horrible , it takes away from the experience like in battlefront 2 some times your guy would die but then an explotion would make him go flying and he wouldnt even move! Ok imagine playinf Loz:TP with graphics out of an atari system... that would SUCK! Gameplay matters but graphics add on to the experience and improve it..alot of peeps are sying it other wize: i just don't see how you can say tht graphics don't matter...gosh. they improve the game. Luckily for the wii they have the whole mtion sensing going on and that aswell adds to the experince.making it more real cuz your actually moving. but if the wii had amazing graphics it would be the champ of the market like the ps3/360 wouldnt sell at all!
Put it this way: would you rather have a great game which is fun and interactive with mediocre graphics or a very boring game with good graphics? Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is a perfect example of the first example.
I don't understand:\cuz if Zelda had amazing graphics it would be better...but i would rather have a gmae with mediocre graphics and is fun than a game that has amazing graphics and boring
Why not have both instead of settling for just 1? Nintendo is capable of creating the best games out there and it doesn't take a genius to figure out what makes excellent graphics so if I were Nintendo I would really step up to the plate next time around and at the very least include HD graphics on the system. As long as they keep the price around $350-400 I think it will be well worth it.
I'm all for eye-candy graphics in games, but I don't think that it should be a primary concern for consoles. Not when they will be hammered into the ground by PCs years before their next generation comes. In my opinion, consoles shall focus on gameplay experience and fun factor and especially multiplayer abilities. While PCs dominate the online arena and will continue to do so for at least until the next-next-gen, consoles are better suited to have a couple of hours of fun with a bunch of friends and they shall emphasize this strongpoint. That doesn't mean completely disregarding visuals, of course, but it shouldn't be the primary goal. That's why I never even thought about getting a console before Wii came along, I'd rather spend the money on a new graphics card for my PC and be better off. And that's why I'm not buying X360/PS3, no offense to those who do but say hello to my little friend called DirectX 10 So graphics do matter, but they are secondary and complimentary to gameplay experience, especially when consoles are concerned.
Obviously it generally is best to have great graphics, and great gameplay, but the question is, if a company had to choose to focus on one, which is more important. Sony and MS think graphics are more important then gameplay, Nintendo feels the opposite. Graphics will improve a lot on the Wii over it's lifetime, as they do on any console, give it time.
you're mistaking physics for graphics. you see graphics are wire frames and textures, physics and engines are the smoothness and "ragdoll" effects and whatnot. so you can very well have a bunch of wireframes running around on screen and have the best damn game play ever but not be able to truly get into it without the skin tones and environment and such. but i totally agree gameplay>>>graphics.
Graphics have always mattered, no matter what anyone says. Graphics mattered all the way back to NES. You always heard people going "Wow! Look at the graphics!" and stuff. As for the Wii, as long as the developers didn't **** all over the graphics, and they're atleast up to par, i.e. a little better than Gamecube, I'm fine. If a game can have great graphics, then they need to do it. A game will always sell more if it looks better. Don't just leave it out because the gameplay is great. Developers are afraid to use great graphics because in my opinion, they don't want to lower the framerate.
I think it is smart to make a more limited system, graphically speaking. It's about the resources of the programmers. To make HD amazing graphics, it takes a lot of programmer energy and a lot of company money. But if the graphics are more limited, then the programmers can focus on making the game more entertaining, fun, challenging, and enjoyable. If I'm going to pay $50 for a game, I'd rather that money represent effort in gameplay, not the company's investment in tons of artists and graphic programmers.
i agree with the thread starter, i would rather enjoy a game than have the best graphics, but if it was ps1 graphics i wouldnt get the system . graphics are very important and i think in time, the wii will get better graphics like the ps2 did
Tony Hawk's Project 8 for PS2 had amazing graphics, the best I've seen on the console ever. I haven't seen anything on Wii that looks as good as that yet. In Sonic, when you do a Time Break and everything slows down... I hate it. I really wanted to see a rip-off of Tony Hawk's "nail the trick" slowed-down time t hing. Everything looked glossy and blurry and it was awesome. =(
I think LoZ:TP has pretty good graphics. I mean for the PS2 the best games we had(in graphics) was Killzone and God of War but they were't the best cause of their gameplay.
The Wii has great graphics. All this fuss about some polygons and pixels. The games of today look f**king awesome compared to the games we had when I was a little boy. :wtf:
i dont see why yall complain about graphics, i really dont even notice bad graphics, such as socom on the psp, i thought they were good....anyway i guess some people are just more greatful than others, but really, the wiis graphics are fine and I would rather not pay 400 dollars for a wii when i could pay 250 dollars and buy 3 games for a total 400 and have good graphics than great graphics. just my opinion.
Graphics matter to a point. Picture size matters too. Would you rather play on a 13 inch screen or a 60 inch screen? Lots of things matter when playing games... Just because the people in Wii Sports don't look real doesn't make the game any less fun... Infact... I would think it would be slightly boring if I was bowling and everyone looked real...(unless everyone looked like my friends then it would be more fun) One of the things you NEED when you buy a PS3 or 360 is a nice big HDTV. What's the point of playing a game like Dead Rising when you can't read a word on the screen because you have an old TV? The nice thing about the Wii is that you don't need to spend that extra money on a new TV. You can see everything just fine with the TV you have. I can't be the only one that feels this way... or doesn't have the cash to spend on a new TV. We have gotten to a point where there is a transition period between who does and does not want or have an HDTV... Right now way more people have a plain old TV than people with an HDTV. I think Nintendo was smart in not supporting HDTV at this time. Five years down the road most people will have HDTVs and that's when Nintendo should support it.

Throughout all the controversies plaguing the Monroe-Woodbury school board over the past few years, there have been two constants. The board president, Michael DiGeronimo, has been at the center of the action and right beside him has been the superintendent, Ed Mehrhof.
All those years of bad feelings came to a conclusion in the elections this May when voters decided it was time for a change and removed DiGeronimo and his supporters from the board. The candidates who called for a new attitude and new approach will get a chance to deliver on their promises starting next month.
But they will start with a big disadvantage. Instead of having the normal powers concerning the contract of the superintendent, they will have to put up with a decision made by the outgoing board at the last possible opportunity, a decision to extend the superintendent's contract for the second time in six months.
There can be no mistaking what the voters said at the polls or the residents said at the meeting. The vote to oust the board members was also a vote of no confidence in the superintendent who was so intimately involved in so many political and personnel decisions.
While it is not odd that those who lost the election would take this last opportunity to insult the public, it is strange that Mehrhof would take this risk.
The money he will make cannot be the only explanation because superintendents are doing very well wherever they work these days. But now he will have to work with a board without the protection he has enjoyed for so long.
The next time some teacher or parent raises questions about the superintendent's actions, he will not be able to rely on the automatic backing that came as a reward for his loyal service to those in charge.

We always see something new in our weekly iOS accessory roundup. (After all, it is a roundup of new products.) This week's biggest novelty is an iPhone holder that will also help you get a powerful Charles Atlas handshake--no more getting sand kicked in your face at the beach!
Altec Lansing: Altec Lansing is finally joining the AirPlay bandwagon with its first AirPlay-enabled speaker system, the $500 InAir 5000. The system includes dual 3-inch midrange drivers, three amplifiers, and a four-inch subwoofer for maximum sound. Altec's free inAir Guide app makes it easy to connect the InAir 5000 to your local wireless network.
Antelope Audio: Some audiophiles complain that iOS devices aren't built for high-resolution stereo sound. Antelope Audio's line of Zodiac D/A converters now offers a resolution--ha, ha, get it?--to that issue, letting iPad owners play audio files of up to 384 kHz. Users must plug an Apple Camera Connection Kit into their tablet and then connect it to the Zodiac using a standard USB cable. But you'll need some cash to enable your love of great sound: The Zodiac line ranges in price from €1,595 to €2,995.
iHelicopters: This company is a frequent guest in the weekly roundup because of all the fascinating iPhone-controlled devices it brings to market. The latest? The $50 iPhone Controlled Stunt Car Racer, a remote-controlled stunt racer capable of all manner of neat tricks. You'll need to download the company's free controller app from the App Store and plug a transmitter into your iOS device; after that, you can remotely control the stunt car at a range of up to 20 feet.
iLoop: Here's a product that's doubly ergonomic. The $20 iLoop is both an iPhone holder and--we're really not kidding about this--an exercise hand grip. The small silicone ring will display your phone in an upright position, letting you view pictures or videos or simply talk hands-free. (The company says the device amplifies the microphone and speaker for better speaking and hearing.) And when you tuck your phone in your pocket, you can squeeze the iLoop to work off stress and strengthen your lower-arm muscles. It's the first iOS accessory we've seen that will eventually help you open a pickle jar.
Physical Apps: Speaking of exercise, we'll confess to occasionally throwing our iPhones across the room, but those times when such throws happen out of frustration, we sure could use the $25 TheO. First seen by our friends at TUAW, the TheO is basically a Nerf-style ball with a slot for your phone, letting you roll and toss without doing any harm to your treasured iOS device. Custom iOS apps will let you play games involving rolling and flying iPhones. There's a bit of a wait before you can slam-dunk your phone, however, as the TheO doesn't ship until May.
PyleHome: The $147 iOS Sound Bar Docking System can serve as a dorm-room entertainment system with the iPad at its center. The shelf system sports five speakers--including a 5.25-inch woofer--as well as its own FM tuner with auto-search and 20 station presets. The system works with all iOS devices, and video from those devices can be routed to your TV through the system; it also includes a remote control.
Scosche: Remember when kids would endure car rides by quietly staring out the window and complaining that Bobby wasn't staying on his side? Those days are long gone. Now you can keep the voyages harmonious by sticking an iPad 2 in your passenger's hands--or, in the case of the $150 BackStage Pro II, mount it on the back of the headrest in front of them. One emphasis we don't see very often: Scosche assures customers the device has been "crash test approved" to ensure it doesn't fly loose and cause damage--to your car or your precious passengers--during "rough driving experiences."
USBFever: Don't you kind of wish your iPad was a business phone? The $200 Bluetooth Video-Conferencing Dock for iPad 2 makes your wish come true. The device docks your tablet for use in hands-free videoconferences; it also includes a wired-in handset if you're interested in using it as a more traditional phone. The dock powers up your iPad while it's connected, letting you put the tablet at the center of your daily business activities.

Thriving After Cancer: Care Plans Help Map the Road to Wellness; End of Cancer Treatment is Not the End of the Cancer Experience
Contact: Anne Doerr, 617-632-5665, [email protected]
BOSTON, May 24 /Standard Newswire/ -- Ed Gardella, a police officer for 31 years, thought he was pretty tough. But then the 70 year old Worcester, Mass. resident was diagnosed with esophageal cancer.
"You never forget that moment, where you were that moment you were told you have cancer," said Gardella. "I was a police officer, a chief of police, but this disease brings everyone to their knees - no one is tougher than cancer."
Gardella underwent surgery, chemotherapy and radiation at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston to treat his cancer and now, five and half years later, he is cancer-free. But Gardella says that cancer remains a constant in his life. "You don't just get cancer and get over it."
Advances in cancer care now mean that the majority of people diagnosed with cancer will survive the disease. An estimated 12 million Americans are cancer survivors. This number is expected to nearly double by 2030. More than six out of every 10 adults newly diagnosed with cancer will meet or pass the five year survival mark.
Kenneth Miller, MD, co-director of the Perini Family Survivors' Center at Dana-Farber, says that the transition from cancer patient to cancer survivor can pose numerous challenges.
"Finishing treatment typically is a monumental moment for many patients, but it is also an important turning point," Miller explains. "As cancer survivors, they now have to shift their focus from figuring out how to beat the disease to learning how to adjust to everyday life again - and they often have to do so without the support network they had while on treatment."
There are many issues confronting cancer survivors, including changes in the body after cancer treatment - emotional and physical symptom management; legal rights concerning healthcare and employment; returning to the classroom; finding support groups; maintaining, repairing, or enhancing personal relationships, and pursuing appropriate follow-up care.
Recognizing these unique challenges, Dana-Farber created the David B. Perini, Jr. Quality of Life Clinic in 1993 to provide support and services to survivors of pediatric cancers. This was one of the nation's first such programs and it has served as the model for other institutions.
"It was clear that cancer treatments could have both a short- and long-term impact on children, and there weren't any resources in place to address these health issues," says Lisa Diller, MD, co-director of the Perini Family Survivors' Center. "We knew that we needed to address this, because the survivorship landscape was rapidly changing. As recently as the 1960s childhood cancer was almost always a fatal diagnosis, but today the majority of children diagnosed with cancer can expect to be long-term survivors."
Diller says that greater public and physician awareness about late effects from cancer treatments has resulted in Dana-Farber's Pediatric Survivorship Clinic seeing more patients who were diagnosed 20 or 30 years ago.
"It's critical that physicians recognize that cancer survivors can have unique health challenges and that they may need to interpret symptoms differently in these patients than they might with their patients who haven't had cancer," says Diller. "Cancer survivors will tell you that once their hair grows back, everybody thinks that they are back to normal. But it can take a lot longer to get there - and some issues may never be resolved."
Dana-Farber expanded it survivorship program to serve survivors of all ages in 2004 with the establishment of the Lance Armstrong Foundation Adult Survivorship Program and the Perini Family Survivors' Center. At the same time, the focus on cancer survivorship services was growing on a national level.
In 2005, the Institute of Medicine recommended that all cancer patients receive a treatment summary and a plan to help them stay well at the end of initial treatment. This would include information on the diagnosis, treatment, and potential consequences; a schedule for follow-up visits; tips on healthy living and preventing new cancers; legal rights affecting employment and insurance; and the availability of support services.
A comprehensive treatment summary and care plan serves as an important road map for survivors and their primary care physicians, Miller says. "These documents help prepare patients for life after cancer by outlining issues like the importance of cancer screening and identifying who might be at risk for second cancer, and such plans educate physicians about potential health risks that are unique to cancer survivors."
In addition to monitoring for potential cancer and treatment-related health issues, primary care physicians should help survivors focus on overall wellness, an area often underemphasized in survivorship, Miller says. "Conversations with patients should include everything from stopping smoking to good nutrition and exercise plans."
As part of the continuum of care for survivors, Dana-Farber offers a wide range of educational programming, support services and informational resources. Survivors can attend a variety of workshops, participate in annual survivor-specific events or meet one-on-one with social workers with expertise in issues facing survivors. Dana-Farber also offers cancer survivors general physical, emotional, financial, and practical information and resources about the issues they may face every day.
Dana-Farber recently produced 21 videos that address issues facing survivors of adult cancers. Available for viewing through the Perini Family Survivors' Center's Web page, www.dana-farber.org/survivor, the videos feature Miller interviewing experts from the fields of oncology, psychology, nutrition, and more, outlining many of the issues survivors typically face, from fear of recurrence to long-term health concerns to creating a wellness plan.
"Unfortunately, the end of cancer treatment is not the end of the cancer experience," says Miller. "It's our job to make sure patients find a new balance in life, one that recognizes where they've been medically, and where they're going for a healthy future."
Gardella, the former police officer and esophageal cancer survivor, says he recognizes that although he has beaten his cancer, he will never be free of his cancer experience. That said, he's focused on living a full life, including spending time with his wife and children, playing softball, golf and riding his bike once in a while.
"And I'll even get out there and cut the lawn when it gets up to four or five feet tall," jokes Gardella. "Although I'm sure my wife Elaine will make sure I'm out there with the lawnmower well before that."
Dana-Farber Cancer Institute is a principal teaching affiliate of the Harvard Medical School and is among the leading cancer research and care centers in the United States. It is a founding member of the Dana-Farber/Harvard Cancer Center (DF/HCC), designated a comprehensive cancer center by the National Cancer Institute. It is the top ranked cancer center in New England, according to U.S. News & World Report, and one of the largest recipients among independent hospitals of National Cancer Institute and National Institutes of Health grant funding.

Green Goods: Kill A Watt PS
By John DeFore
One of the most buzzed-about Green Tech items over the last year has been the Kill A Watt, a gizmo that tells you exactly how much power is being used over time by any single appliance you plug into it. (We covered it last year in the context of multiple "know your footprint" ideas.)
Now the device's makers have given it a serious upgrade, a tweak offering enough everyday usefulness that one can envision it being used by folks who don't think of themselves as green freaks. The Kill A Watt PS, after all, functions at one level just like any other surge-protecting power strip you might use to protect a half-dozen computer peripherals or home-entertainment components while only using one power outlet.
It does so, though, with the power-conscious features of the earlier tool built-in. It measures the amount of power you use, not just for a single device, but for a whole room's worth of gear, letting users easily find out how much, say, a month's worth of Monday Night Football really costs them. It stores data, so totals aren't lost during power outages, and warns users when their electrical load is higher than a circuit should have to bear.
Beyond household issues, though, the device also monitors tech details having to do not with usage but with the consistency of the power being supplied by your utility — encouraging, one imagines, an increased awareness of the kind of power-grid issues our nation's leaders are only starting to confront now.

If you have a grudge of some sort against your local fast food establishment, there are probably better methods of expressing yourself than pulling up to the drive-thru window and throwing a live snake at the employee inside.
But that's exactly what a man in Williston, North Dakota, is charged with doing at the neighborhood Taco John's eatery.
Police in Williston received a call Saturday night after a customer hurled a 2.5-foot long rat snake through the drive-thru window.
Perhaps feeling the long arm of the Williston PD closing in on him, the 21-year-old snake-thrower went to the police the next evening and voluntarily spoke to officers about the bizarre incident. Police say he was apologetic about the snake toss, but he was still charged with disorderly conduct.

Like its predecessor, the BeagleJuice, 2nd Gen makes the BeagleBoard (or PandaBoard) portable. A battery module that provides a quad output 5V power supply directly to the BeagleBoard, it can be mounted onto the back side using standoffs, which keeps the expansion ports easily accessible.
The 4200mAh Li-ion battery is charged using specialized charging circuitry that boosts performance for longer-lasting applications. The module itself can supply power through a special, 2-pin barrel jack, or directly through wires on dual pin headers. It can be charged using a 19V power adapter for accelerated charging.
Like most portable, handheld devices, the BeagleJuice, 2nd Gen can provide power while plugged in, and there's an on/off switch to make booting and shutting down simple. Best of all, the modular form of the BeagleJuice, 2nd Gen fits with the BeagleTouch to sandwich the BeagleBoard – resulting in a solid, handheld Android or Linux-based computer in the palm of your hand.

Palpitations and anesthesia09/02/2008 |
I`ve never had surgery before except a c-section in which I was awake. My physician wants me to have my gallbladder out. There are no stones, but it is not working and causing me problems. My question is: I experience palpitations often. I`ve had many heart tests and was told not to worry about the palpitations. They are not dangerous. Is anesthesia safe if you have palpitations? I have a hard time even in a dentist`s office when they numb me. My heart starts to race and pound -- not a good feeling.
There are many possible causes for palpitations, including endocrine diseases such as thyroid or adrenal problems, drugs, drug interactions, and heart disease. If you've had your heart fully checked out, plus had a general assessment for non-cardiac causes of palpitations then there should be little to worry about from your anesthesia.Palpitations at the dentist following the injection of local anesthetic is a pretty common occurrence, and is presumably due to the effects of epinephrine (adrenaline) that is routinely added to the anesthetic to make it last longer.
During anesthesia your heart is carefully monitored so your anesthesiologist will be able to pick up any abnormality of heart rate or rhythm immediately. Its sort of like having your own intensive care unit for the duration of the anesthesia.

Former reality starlet Heidi Montag released her "Dreams Come True" EP on April 11, and the cover art leaves little to the imagination, showcasing the 25-year-old's surgically enhanced assets in a skimpy, hot pink monokini.
The follow-up to her 2010 album, "Superficial," the EP features four previously released songs, including "Your Love Found Me," "Party Is Wherever I Am," "No More" and "Overdosin." The heavily Auto-Tuned "Dreams Come True" currently has a rating of three and a half stars on iTunes.
"The Hills" star famously got 10 plastic surgery procedures in one day in November 2009, including a butt augmentation and a breast augmentation "revision," and seemingly faded into pop culture obscurity afterward — aside from an appearance on VH1's "Famous Food" in 2011. She and husband Spencer Pratt, 28, now live a more "low-key" lifestyle, reports Us Weekly.
What do you think of Montag's album cover?

Ryan Arruda in Archive on November 29, 2012
Located in Two Rivers, Wisconsin, The Hamilton Wood Type Museum is an exceptional collection of printing history. Including over a million pieces of wood type in its care, the museum features a fully functioning studio not only for printing with wood type but also for creating it as well.
However, the museum is unexpectedly being forced from its present home. Perhaps needing to vacate its space in less than three months, this is both a monumental physical and financial feat – your help is urgently needed to assure the museum can continue its mission as a bulwark of typographic history.
One of the many delights the archive provides is that it is indeed a living museum; not simply host to relics to be looked upon, the museum fosters a deeper understanding of the forebears of contemporary type by conducting workshops for artists and scholars alike. Such opportunities of hands-on, tactile experimenting with type cultivates not only an appreciation for the true craftsmanship involved in type design, but also a respect for those vibrant analog methods of making.
Whether you are a designer, a typographic enthusiast, or simply intrigued by printing history, please consider supporting the Hamilton Wood Type Museum in its time of need. Your donations will help to assure that the museum can preserve its rich artifacts, and safely relocate to a new home. More importantly, your donation will help to further facilitate the study, appreciation, and utilization of wood type, a true treasure of design history and practice.

MediZine taps AOL head, rolls out titles
Medizine is launching a series of 10 point-of-care consumer specialty magazines, each with an online counterpart, and recently named AOL Health head Carla Wojnaroski to oversee content for all its products.The new series, rolling out under the MDminute brand, debuted last month with cardiovascular and diabetes titles mailed to cardiologists' and endocrinologists' offices. Other topics to be covered by the quarterly series include allergies/asthma, dermatology, digestion/diet, cancer, arthritis, mental health and general health. MediZine will also host a Healthy Updates Web site for each condition.
"Healthcare is moving towards specificity now, and marketers are moving away from blasting to the masses," said MediZine president and CEO Traver Hutchins. The firm, which also publishes Remedy, Healthy Living and Diabetes Focus, will encourage readers to view online content and sign up for individually tailored communications.
MediZine is hiring 20 staff, mostly for its nascent online business, and has lured a seasoned expert to manage content. Wojnaroski, who becomes EVP, content and new media, spent seven years at AOL Health, rising eventually from programming director to VP, general manager for health and living, with responsibility for the editorial, strategy and business functions of the department. Before joining AOL, she headed communications at Cardinal Health for six years.

L1B Visa Interview Experience at US Consulate, Chennai
Yesterday I had been to Chennai, Tamil Nadu for my L1-Blanket Visa Interview. My friends were saying that L1-B is little difficult to get through these days since there is more inquiry for this type of US visa from the US Consulate. In this article I just thought of sharing my experience of L1B US Visa Interview at US Consulate General at Chennai, India which I think will be helpful for the people especially who are appearing for the L1-B US Visa at Chennai for the first time.
I was there at the Venue 15 minutes before the scheduled time. There was a big queue at this time, when I inquired the security personnel there, I learnt that people are allowed to get in according to their scheduled interview time and I was bit relaxed and stood at the correct position in the queue instructed by the securities.
One person had his cell phone in his pocket and the security who checks all your pockets found that and that person was asked to leave the queue. Yes, cell phones or any electronic devices are strictly not allowed inside the consulate office.
Firstly the visa interview appointment letter is verified and a seal is put before even the security check and people are allowed to get into the consulate office. Then a token is issued for verifying the rest of the your documents. Collect the token and wait for your turn that flashes on the displays. Your token number and the counter number are displayed there. Once your documents are verified, your finger print will be taken and you are asked to head towards the place where US consulates are sitting. The same token number used to verify your documents is used even in the consulate location (Consulate location is another adjacent building in Channai center).
Wait for your turn, the HDFC demand draft is collected at one counter and then you will be going to US consulate counters when your token number is announced.
Questions asked for my L1-B Visa,
1. What's the type of visa you have applied for?
I said XXX
2. What's your designation?
My designation is XXX
3. What's your project?
I explained about my project in 3 sentences.
4. What you have done in this project?
I explained the modules that I had worked on.
5. How long have you been working with XXX company? I said the number of years.
6. What are you going to do in US?
I explained my US roles
7. Where are you going to US?
I said the city and the state name
Then she started the paper work and signed the I-129S forms and said your visa has been approved and you will get your passport in a weeks' time and also said to keep the I-129S forms with you while you travel to the US, they are required there.
I said 'Thank you mam', have a nice day.
I think the main the task in the visa interviews is to understand what each type of US visa requires and is expected by the applicants. For example, for L1-B, its required to have the specialized knowledge such as knowledge specific to your company technologies and proprietary stuffs.
My suggestion is that avoid using technical and common IT terms such as Oracle, Java, C/C++. This is too generic. Do not use abbreviations, if used expand them. Just make sure that consulate understands you, this can only happen if you use layman language while explaining your details.
Hope this article helps people appearing for Visa interviews for the first time.

Gutierrez, Ericsson and Razia discuss the race
GP2 Series: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to today's press conference for the feature race here in Valencia: joining us today we have race winner Esteban Gutierrez from Lotus GP, in second place we have Marcus Ericsson from iSport International, and in third place we have Luiz Razia from Arden International. Esteban, congratulations on a great win today, your first feature race and your second overall following on from your sprint win here last year: it seems that there is something about this circuit that suits you!
Esteban Gutierrez: Yes, it's definitely a track that I like, and also it's a special result for the team and me! And also for many other aspects, because we have been having a difficult start to the season, up and down, mistakes from my side, mistakes from the team, and in general not having things on our side. With this result, we have to use this good energy and good feeling to go forward in the next few races.
GP2 Series: You told me yesterday after everything that's happened this year that you are not going to think about results, and instead you're just going to reset and go back to racing for the enjoyment of it. But this is a pretty strong result: what does it mean to you and the team?
Esteban: It's true: I tried not to think too much of the result, I tried to forget about the championship, because in the end what gives you the championship is the sum of every single race, so I tried to enjoy the car the most, tried to enjoy the race, tried to overtake as good as I could, and as many as I could. Sometimes you have to risk a bit too much to take a win, so I tried to just do my best from that side, and finally I got a good result!
GP2 Series: How much fun was it for you today? You had a lot of battles throughout the race...
Esteban: Yeah, from the beginning to the end, and especially at the beginning when we were having troubles with the tyres, because they were used from yesterday and the rear tyres were not working a lot, so to get to the front they were difficult to manage! So the strategy played quite a big role in this race, because after the pits I had new tyres, and these helped me a lot to go forward and to gain more positions, especially in the last few laps.
GP2 Series: Your teammate James was leading for quite a while, so I guess it's an up and down result for your team, but how is the mood back in the truck?
Esteban: That's true, and at some point they're happy but on the other side they are very sorry for James. I feel a bit sorry for him too, because he did a fantastic race from the beginning, he pulled away with fantastic speed, and generally I think he deserved the win because he did pole yesterday, today he was leading the race and what happened to him is something that is not in his hands, so hopefully we can do a 1-2 sometime later in the season.
GP2 Series: Congratulations. Marcus, P2 today and another fine result after your podium in Monaco: how was it for you in the car today?
Marcus Ericsson: It was good! We've been having a hard time in the beginning of the year, so to be second in Monaco, yesterday we were fastest in free practice but unfortunately didn't it to work as we wanted in qualifying, started ninth which wasn't what we were hoping for, but I think today we showed we had the pace to be with the guys in front. We had a really good race: it was a completely crazy race [laughs] with the safety cars and people overtaking and everything, and I thought 'I could be P6 or I could win this: it could be anything!' [laughs] But it worked out, it was great fun to drive and the team have done a great job again to give me a great car, and to be on the podium here from ninth, I think that's great!
GP2 Series: You were fighting with pretty much everyone around you today, and everyone around you was fighting with pretty much everyone else: how do you find a path through all that to get to where you are now?
Marcus: It was very difficult! Especially after the first safety car, which was out for a long time so everyone had cold tyres going into the last corner at the restarts: I think everyone was locking up, more or less. It is difficult with so many safety car restarts, because the last bit of the lap with cold tyres and cold brakes mean there are big risks there. A couple of times I locked up, and I even hit the guy in front I think [laughs], but mostly I managed to avoid it: it worked out in the end, I could have ended up anywhere but we had a bit of luck on our side, which is nice to have sometimes, and we had a lot of speed in the car, so I think we deserved a podium today.
GP2 Series: I guess you can see where you could have ended up by what happened to your teammate today?
Marcus: Yeah, Jo had a really good start and was really unlucky in the first corner, otherwise we could have both been up there and had a good race. He's been very strong all weekend really, so it's a shame for him but at least it's nice for the team that I could get something out of the race and get a podium for them today.
GP2 Series: It is another strong result for the team, and it seems like they are rebuilding well after the problems earlier this year: how does it feel there now?
Marcus: Yeah, it feels like we are turning a corner in form, definitely. Before Monaco I think we didn't score any points, more or less, we've been having a bad time since the beginning of the year but we have still pushed, the team has been pushing a lot as well as me and Jo, and finally the results are starting to come and we can look forward to the next couple of races, and it's good to be in the front, where we should be!
GP2 Series: Congratulations. Luiz, another podium to add to your collection this year, the season rolls on and you are firmly in second place in the championship: how was your race today?
Luiz Razia: It was really good! The start was really nice and I was behind Ericsson, P6 and 7, so from 11th it was a really good start, and then I managed my tyres quite well and I managed to overtake Nasr, and I was 5th. My pitstop was great, the team did a really good job, and I found myself 4th and then we had the safety car, which was very good because I'd just done my pitstop! On the restart when Ericsson braked to avoid the guy in front I touched him [laughs] and I broke my wing, and at that time I thought 'this is it, all the race that I've done is going to be put in the bin.'
But after that the safety car was quite long, I thought 'it's no more than 9 laps, I can do this', and at the restart the car was not feeling good, Ericsson and Gutierrez overtook me on braking, and then a safety car again, which helped a lot! [laughs] I was very, very, very happy when the safety car came out, because my car was not any good for the podium! And then we had 2 laps to go, and I thought I had to change my driving, the brakes and everything to take the car to the end, and it paid off: I finished third, and I'm really happy. This is the most we could do today.
GP2 Series: You had a big fight with Fabio over the last few laps: how much did your experience help you to hang on to third today?
Luiz: I think if he had worked a little bit harder he could have overtaken me, but I think also he was happy with 4th and didn't want to try something silly, and I was defending quite well, was braking a lot to be fast out, and it didn't work out for him. That's it.
GP2 Series: How do you manage the tyres in a race like this, where the 3 safety cars mean the tyres temperatures are dropping a lot?
Luiz: Today was a bit difficult because the safety car came three times, but also I think where the safety car [restart] line is is a bit crazy, because we had many incidents there already, so I don't think it's a safe place to have the safety car line, but there we go, that's how it is. People tried to brake late like I did, like others did, and just crashed: it was difficult to keep the temperatures in the tyres when the safety car is so slow, and if the front one also is slow then it's difficult to keep up. But this is how it is, and we have to just work with this.

I'm absolutely loving that you're sharing this all with us! You look beautiful and wild, as usual. You shouldn't be embarrassed about enjoying looking at yourself in the mirror, I do it all the time, and I don't have a baby in my belly as a good excuse hah. It's just nice to see yourself as a whole from another view, all our bodies are just so beautiful and unique and miraculous, it's really a shame we don't remind ourselves that more often. That's interesting about the coffee, I'd feel so strange not having my cup in the morning. I think your belly has a pretty little girl in it, that's my guess :)

ooh you are so beautiful! that belly is gorgeous. i had really bad round ligament pain with both my pregnancies. so bad the second time i went to the emergency room at 2 am because i thought i had an ectopic. that shit hurts, dude. stretchy stretchy stretchy. those poor little muscles are working so hard. i am so excited to find out what you ar ehaving. i never guess right, and i have no idea what you are having. can't wait to find out! good idea on the embracing the variety of styles of parenting. when i had my first i got really, really steeped in parenting woo. AVOID MOTHERING.COM at all costs. they are psychos. PSYCHOS dude. some of those parenting philosophies are a recipe for post partum depression. play it by ear, do what feels right. you are such a nurturing and kind spirit, you don't need to read a book to find out how to be a mom, you'll know. i love these pregnancy posts.
on a differnt note, i am struggling withreading your posts with your new background on you rpage. i have bad eyes, so it might be just me, but it hurts my poor eyes and if i didn't love you as much as i did and you were some other blog i'd likely just give up on reading it. - March 5, 2012 at 10:26 AM
- Heather said...
I am so enjoying reading your journey it brings me back to my pregnancies it is such an amazing time I think it is great that your keeping track of it all on your blog. I love your skirt it is gorgeous....and I think it is fantastic that you just keep on keepin on wearing what you like I never cared for the normal maternity stuff either. With my first son I did not find out what we were having but an older women in the grocery store who was behind me tapped me on the shoulder when I was pregnant and said your having a boy. And I said how do you know? and she said I have 11 children and 9 grandchildren trust me your having a boy. And guess what I did have a boy ;) .....How exciting can't wait to hear the news ~Love Heather

- Teeny said...
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAY so glad you're finding out, it will give me something to plan towards in regards to baby stuff making. If you have heaps of pain in your hips I'd say a boy! If you are showing out front alot i'd say a girl! So hard to tell. With my first pregnancy I had those pulling pains you're talking of, but didn't get them with my second so much. I think it's your body being pulled into shape huh. I felt revolting the whole time of my first pregnancy (with my boy) but then incredibly sexy mama with my second (a girl). I loved dressing up in boots and stretchy stripey knits because I had this amazing curvy, booby, hippy body that is so different to my normally quite boyish frame. i loved it.You are looking so romantic and pretty in the white lace edged tank and gorgeous blue and white skirt. Also - coffee - i went off it for both of my pregs too. Have you had headaches? I got them alot in my gestations. I thought I had toxoplasmosis (a bit paranoid) - but - uh - it was just pregnancy headaches. Love your kitty kats, you'll be spending so much time cuddling baby when he/she arrives that the kitties will need extra loving now!

Heather, you are just too cute :) I really enjoyed reading this. You raise several points I had never even heard of. Cramps? Cats? pretty crazy things... I am enjoying your posts because I've never really spent time around a pregnant friend. I have had pregnant friends, but usually we are not in the same city by the time they are preggers... so your posts are like a big huge heads up. I'm really excited for some boob growth-- that part must be fun! ha ha!
I have a kind of sort of question... one of my biggest concerns is being a full-time working person while i'm pregnant. Do you think that (especially during your first trimester) it would have been hard to stand up and teach for several hours a day given how queasy you always felt? Or, was it the sort of mild, i can deal queasy? Of course I'm sure it varies with each person but just curious about how it affected other parts of your daily life. It did not come across at all in your posts btw.
Also, have you noticed any back pain in your lower back now that you are getting bigger? This is also something I'm kind of scared about since I had a back injury once before.
Love these posts! Can't wait to read & see more of your glowy self :) - March 5, 2012 at 5:45 PM

Eeeeeeeeeee! I can't wait to find out the sex! You MUST post it on facebook (and here too) the minute you walk outta there. PLEASE. I'm going to be so antsy all day. Oh my god I'm almost crying right now thinking about it.
I loved looking at my naked pregnant self too. I took some pictures that I look back on fondly. Maybe I've told you that Carabeth said she used to photograph her cleavage during the baby time because, like me and maybe you, it was the only time she'd ever have any :-)
I love these posts Heather. They're so personal and true to life. How about touching on dreams?? Pregnancy dreams are crazy! - March 7, 2012 at 11:09 AM

Oh, how I am crying right now, seeing your sweet pregnant belly! The beauty in it all- Im slayed!I am really enjoying reading these posts, and have always appreciated how open and honest you are.
Cheers to all sorts of full cups- coffee and breasteses!
PS- my mama (an old wife)always said if you are carrying low, its a boy, and high, its a girl. Its looking more low to me...! Also, some say certain things you crave are an indication to the sex of the little babe. Any strange cravings?
Love to you and the family xoxo - March 7, 2012 at 12:52 PM

Tomorrow is the day! I can only imagine how excited you and Darin must be to find out. Looking forward to hearing the news! You look so radiant and I love your skirt in this post. Oh yeah and those cute boots too!

As a new mama myself, I am loving these posts! Can't wait to find out the sex...I'm sure you will feel blessed either way! My husband & I didn't find out and *everyone* thought we were having a boy for one reason or another...but, it was a girl. After she was born we just looked st each other like "Duhh, it's a girl!" We knew in our hearts all along.

Daniel Gerdes was born 19 April 1698 at Bremen, Germany and died 11 February 1765 at Groningen in the Netherlands. He served from 1736 until his death as professor of theology at the University of Groningen and editor of a number of theological writings. For Mennonite history he is of interest because of his disputes with Joannes Stinstra, the Mennonite minister of Harlingen, who had in 1740 published a Deductie in behalf of the freedom of Mennonites to preach without being authorized by the government. Gerdes in his Elenchus veritatum (Groningen, 1740) stated that freedom of conscience should be granted but not freedom of preaching, since teaching of false dogma means licentiousness. In his Twee Godgeleerde Verhandelingen (Groningen, 1741) Gerdes deals with Socinianism and states that Socinians cannot be considered Christians. In his De Vrijheid des Geloofs (Groningen, n.d.-1741), he directly attacks Stinstra, accusing him of anti-Christian teachings.

Saturday Ride: The Path Not Taken
6 comments:
Interesting question limom. Prbly worth a post in itself. AFAIK it activates the same logic as it would if it were the pedestrian push button, except this one is easy for cyclists to reach. You don't have to go up on the sidewalk to make sure the light changes, and that you have enough time to cross. Once you push the pedestrian version, too, sometimes I feel compelled to then use the crosswalk. Personally I prefer the double loop detectors in the pavement. Car don't push no buttons!
ReplyDeleteUSJ that's an approximate eye view. I was imagining what it would be like to be short enough to use the Envisioning Device without crouching.

Hughes, Yankees shut out Red Sox, 2-0
With Dustin Pedroia away from Fenway Park after the birth of his second child, the already thin lineup fielded by the Red Sox took on a translucent quality Thursday night.
James Loney, who has three extra-base hits since joining the Sox Aug. 25, batted third, and Daniel Nava batted fifth for the first time in his career. Ivan De Jesus Jr. made his first start in place of Pedroia.
The results were predictable. The Yankees held the Sox to six hits and beat them, 2-0, on a quiet night at Fenway Park.
It was the sixth time the Sox have been shut out this season, the first time since Aug. 2. Five of the hits were singles and the Sox were hitless in six at-bats with runners in scoring position against Phil Hughes and three relievers. They drew one walk.
Hughes (15-12) allowed five hits and struck out seven over 7⅓ innings. Rafael Soriano pitched the ninth inning for his 38th save.
"Hughes pitched up in the strike zone and we couldn't lay off of it," Sox manager Bobby Valentine said. "Made a lot of quick outs swinging at some of those pitches. We were a little immature in our approach at times."
Cody Ross, who was 1 for 4 batting cleanup, agreed with Valentine.
"You fall victim to it. You just try for quality at-bats and not grinding. When you do that you get quick outs," he said. "It's one thing to be aggressive, but another thing to be smart about it. We just weren't smart the whole night."
Hughes retired the first 10 batters before Scott Podsednik drew a walk in the fourth inning.
With two outs, Ross got the Sox' first hit, a single to left field. Podsednik took third on the play. Nava had a chance to tie it but grounded to second base.
The Sox had another chance against Hughes in the sixth inning. Jacoby Ellsbury singled to center field before Podsednik struck out. Loney followed with a single to left field. Ross had the opportunity this time, but hit a fly ball to right field.
Nava singled off Soriano with two outs in the ninth before Jarrod Saltalamacchia grounded to second.
Felix Doubront (10-9) pitched into the seventh inning and gave up two runs. Four Sox pitchers allowed five hits but received no support.
There was some doubt Doubront would make the start. The 24-year-old lefthander was 0-4 with an 8.27 earned run average in his previous seven starts and there were concerns he was wearing down in his first full season as a starter in the majors.
But Doubront pitched well in a bullpen session on Monday, convincing the team to give him another shot, and it paid off.
"I was trying to think less and make pitches. That's what I did," Doubront said. "It was the mental part I worked on. I tried to throw the first pitch for a strike."
The Yankees had only one hit over the first three innings. Alex Rodriguez singled to start the fourth and stole second. Doubront walked Robinson Cano and Russell Martin to load the bases.
Andruw Jones lifted a fly ball to right field. Ross made an accurate throw that was cut off and Rodriguez scored.
Curtis Granderson lined to first base and Loney stepped on the bag for a double play to end the inning.
Doubront ran into trouble against the bottom of the New York order in the seventh inning.
No. 8 hitter Steve Pearce walked before Eduardo Nunez singled. With Doubront at 105 pitches, Valentine went to Junichi Tazawa.
Derek Jeter fought off a 3-and-2 fastball and dumped a single into center field to score Pearce.
It was Jeter's 3,283d hit, tying the legendary Willie Mays for 10th place all time.
Tazawa struck out Nick Swisher and Rodriguez looking to end the inning and keep the Sox within two runs.
Doubront allowed four hits and struck out five with five walks. He has pitched well against the Yankees in four starts this season, giving up seven earned runs over 25 innings.
"I thought he was excellent," Valentine said. "He had a good fastball, breaking ball. Good competitiveness. Just missed on some pitches."
Doubront, who said he has two starts remaining, hopes to end his season on a good note.
"Finish strong and healthy, those were my goals the whole year," he said. "I think I can do it and I'm going to do it."
Said Valentine, "Talking with him, he was very determined to right his ways. I think today was a good step in that direction. If we scored some runs, we would have gotten a win."
The Yankees took two of three from the Red Sox but remain tied for first place in the American League East with the determined Orioles. Baltimore beat the Tampa Bay Rays, 3-2, Thursday afternoon in 14 innings.
The Sox have lost six of their last seven games and 13 of 15. They have 80 losses for the first time since the 1997 team finished 78-84.
The Sox start a seven-game road trip in Toronto on Friday. Pedroia will join the team there sometime this weekend.

In the end, all parties got something out of Hamlet Garcia's guilty plea in a Norristown courtroom on Jan. 28.
A Somerton couple accused of illegally enrolling their daughter in kindergarten at a Lower Moreland school waived their Dec. 19 trial court arraignment on felony theft charges mere weeks after parting ways with their defense attorney and hiring a new one.
Somerton residents Hamlet and Olesia Garcia still insist they did nothing wrong when they enrolled their 5-year-old daughter in a Lower Moreland public school in fall 2011.
Hamlet and Olesia Garcia waived a preliminary hearing today after the Montgomery County district attorney's office agreed to recommend an ARD program instead of going to trial. The couple will have to pay more than $10,000 in tuition for enrolling their daughter in a Lower Moreland kindergarten while living in Somerton.
— A Somerton mom and dad are in trouble with the law after enrolling their daughter in a Lower Moreland school.
he declared that the law itself is bad.
"What happened here should never be a crime," Hamlet Garcia, 42, said inside the Montgomery County courthouse after the hearing.

The quality of the camera and wireless connection is superb! I had three other outdoor cameras and this one has prevailed. The audio quality and volume is very good. The connection software was also easy to setup with many advanced features I was looking for. I have not used the mic features, but you will need an outdoor rated speaker to go with this as an additional purchase. I also purchased the BL- WV10A Wireless Camera Monitoring System and that setup was difficult after already completing the setup for my wireless system. Recommend on both.

I wrote a review earlier noting I was disappointed that this wireless webcam only supports WEP encryption, which is abysmal. Additionally my Apple Airport Extreme wireless router does not support WEP encryption (probably because WEP is pretty useless against anyone with tech savvy these days -- they just have to google for the a script that can break the encryption within a few minutes). I have disabled security because I'm not terribly worried about people hacking into my wireless network, and I set up mac filtering (which is also pseudo-security at best). As an FYI to anyone else trying to work around this and using the mac filtering as a workaround: There are three mac addresses associated with this webcam, and all of them have to be added to your mac filter in order to for you to be able to access the webcam images: 1. The MAC printed on the back of the webcam - the MAC associated with the ethernet card 2. The MAC associated with the wireless card, which the instruction manual tells us is one value higher than the ethernet MAC. 3. The MAC belonging to the camera itself. This can be found in the camera admin pages, under maintenance. Scroll down and look for "BSSID" ... notice how it looks like a MAC address. Add this address to your mac filter's "allowed" devices.

Works quite well
By Steve
from Oakland, CA
Comments about Panasonic Outdoor Network Camera:
I have 4 of them and just ordered a BB-HCM371A for outside use. If you're familiar with setting up any wireless device (set SSID, IP mode DHCP or static, set the WEP encryption key, etc) you should no problem setting this up. The audio quality on the mic. is excellent, you can hear every word in the room, furnace noise, planes flying over, etc. It IS sort of like being there. The only downside is the frame rate is a bit lower than 30 FPS, and depends a lot on the connection speed. Works well for monitoring elderly parents that want to stay in their own home but need a little extra attention.
Great Camera Tech Savy users - setup challenging
By Bobby C
from Aspen, CO
Great camera. Great Support. The support I received went beyond what I have had with other devices. It takes some time to figure it out but the manual covers "most" of it and certain routers can be a challenge. Read other reviews here and pick up some hints. The WEP is outdated but I created a second network with a spare router to overcome this. I own 2 of these now.

By JV
from Undisclosed
Would not work on wireless even after many hours of trying. I was then told it has problems with Windows 7. Finally using WEP security is way out of date. I have a few other Panasonic wireless cameras that do work but this must be an old design.

Not "really" for outdoors
By Floondog
from NJ
I agree with the reviews that this is not for the technically challenged. I am a 20 yr IT pro and ended up having to use an Ethernet crossover cable to configure this. It did not like my Linksys E3000 router. Once I mounted it, I was disappointed to find that the power supply is for INDOOR USE ONLY. Ummm, isn't this an outdoor camera??!

Great camera
By ibrescue
from Brookfield, WI
I have purchased a total of 3 of these cameras now, the oldest one is well over a year old. They work fabulous and the picture quality is great. I had originally used them as wireless, however, these cameras will only support WEP and I'm running WPA/WPA2 so that is a drawback. However, I use them to look after my second home and have them set up to detect motion and upload pictures to a FTP site. That works great. The documentation is not the best, but playing around with the setup and camera itself have taught me quite a few things. Overall, excellent product. I would consider myself an expert in computer hardware, software, and network configuration.

Great Product but not for the rookie install-wise
By Cabin Cam
from Seven Devils, NC
From a product performance point of view, this camera is outstanding and very full featured. The framerate to image quality selection provides a good blend of control between image quality and framerate/motion of movement. Brightness controls allow for adequate light control in high and low light conditions. The pan angle span of 120 degrees (60 degress left and right of dead center) is only a bit limited, but acceptable given it's a totally enclosed dome protecting the camera. The tilt angle of 45 degrees down/20 up from dead center) is more than adequate for viewing the ground and sky for home needs unless you have th need to look straight up for some reason. The 35' power cord was more than enough for us to run power from the camera mounted under a covered porch through the side of the house and plug into a wall socket. The audio quality is good (we can hear bird chirping with ease). The camera controls are very intuitive and easy to use. An especially nice feature is what I'd call the positional reference point of the pan and tilt buttons. When you click them, they pan or tilt the full 120/65 degree pan/tilt span from the position of the lens and return to the position the lens was in when you click. So if you are say, 30 degrees to the left of center and click pan, the lens pans 30 more degress to the left, 120 degress to the right, then back 90 degress back to the original 30 degree left of center start position. It also holds whatever zoom setting you are in during all pans and tilts, either using auto pan/tilt or manual arrows. The 10X zoom is just OK as the image degrades in resolution quality rather quickly as the zoom factor increases. The Zoom does, however, have a mouse (slow) as well as right click (fast) zoom speeds. Now the bad news. Installation is not for the rookie. You'd best be pretty PC/network savvy with good troubleshooting and problem solving skills before you take on installation. My wife and I work in IT and are pretty tech savvy and it took us two weekends to finally figure out that the instructions were missing some steps in set up that kept the remote (browser) control feature from connecting. Yes, setting it up to control onsite isn't hard, but the main reason we bought this camera was to watch over our mountian house via an PC from anywhere. THAT part took some doing to finally figure out. Once installed and fully operational, this camera ROCKS. The color is excellent. it also operates at -5 degrees below freezing; a must for up here in the NC mountains in winter. Highly recommend this product. We'll be getting another one.
