2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class: Frankfurt Auto Show
What Is It?
The 2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class makes that niche marked "premium compact crossover SUV" that much bigger. If anyone was thinking that the 2014 Mercedes-Benz GLK was a premium compact crossover, don't worry, it is. But the GLA is down a notch from there. Think about the difference between a BMW X3 and a BMW X1. That's a useful analogy, since the GLA will be an obvious rival for the 2014 X1. Another competitor is the 2014 Range Rover Evoque.
Just as the X1 is based on the BMW 1 Series, the GLA is based on the current generation of the Mercedes-Benz A-Class. That car has been out in Europe since 2012, and is also the basis for the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA compact sedan (available in the United States now).
Because of this platform, the 2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class will come with either front-wheel drive (M-B cars have predominantly employed rear-wheel drive) or all-wheel drive -- known as 4Matic in the company's catalog. The first model expected to come down the line is the GLA250, running a turbocharged 2-liter engine good for 208 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. A performance model, the GLA45 AMG, is also anticipated, but there's no word yet on when.
How Much?
Pricing will be announced nearer launch time. The 2014 BMW X1 starts at $30,800, so somewhere in that range might be a decent guess.
When Can You Get It?
Fall 2014.
Add It to Your Shopping List Because...
Your choice of ride is as much fashion statement as practical transportation. This class will continue to grow, as other makers are expected to follow the trend. Available safety and convenience features will come from the company's impressive tech portfolio, such as collision prevention assist, parking assist and intelligent cruise control.
Other Cars to Consider
2014 BMW X1 -- The X1 comes as a rear-drive or all-wheel-drive model. The former will please the enthusiasts, while the latter will please people who live in places with bad winters.
2014 Range Rover Evoque -- More expensive than the BMW X1. But the Evoque is also highly stylish -- half the battle in the crossovers-for-affluent-city-dwellers class.
2014 MINI Cooper Countryman -- A crossover SUV based on a MINI is sure going to be compact. This starts off at a lower price but starts to overlap once the higher-level models and options are accessed. It has the right combination of charm and premium ambiance.
2015 Audi Q3 -- A smaller crossover SUV than the 2014 Audi Q5 is supposed to be coming to the United States. The timing is still uncertain, but it should be worth waiting for.

5‑Port Fast Ethernet PoE Unmanaged Desktop Switch
- Product Status: Live
The DES-1005P offers an economical way for SOHO users to not only enjoy the benefit of having a five-port network switch, but having a five-port network switch with one of those ports PoE enabled. Users can then easily create a PoE home surveillance system even in locations where power sockets are limited. The addition of a PoE port to a five port switch allows SMB users an alternative to larger, more expensive switches, without having to sacrifice the need to power PoE devices.

The DES-1005P offers an economical way for SOHO users to not only enjoy the benefit of having a five-port network switch, but having a five-port network switch with one of those ports PoE enabled. Users can then easily create a PoE home surveillance system even in locations where power sockets are limited. The addition of a PoE port to a five port switch allows SMB users an alternative to larger, more expensive switches, without having to sacrifice the need to power PoE devices.
Fast Internet Connection at Home
The D-Link DES-1005P 5-Port Fast Ethernet PoE Unmanaged Desktop Switch allows you to easily connect a Power over Ethernet (PoE) device such as a wireless access point (AP), IP camera, or IP phone. The switch also gives you the opportunity to add additional Ethernet devices such as computers, printers, and Network Attached Storage (NAS) onto your network. This compact PoE switch operates quietly, making it ideal for use in virtually any room or office.
Power over Ethernet (PoE)
The first port of the DES-1005P supports the IEEE 802.3af PoE standard. The port supplies a total PoE budget of 15.4 watts, allowing users to attach an IEEE 802.3af-compliant device to the DES-1005P that requires no additional power. Use PoE for applications that are far from power outlets or when you want to minimise the clutter of extra cables.
Auto MDI/MDIX Crossover
All ports support automatic MDI/MDIX crossover, eliminating the need for crossover cables or uplink ports. Each port can be plugged directly to a server, hub, router, or switch using regular straight-through twisted-pair Ethernet cables.
Conserves Energy
The DES-1005P 5-Port Fast Ethernet PoE Unmanaged Desktop Switch makes use of D-Link Green™ eco-friendly technology, providing energy savings, reduced power consumption, and a longer product life without sacrificing operational performance or functionality. This switch helps to conserve energy through methods such as Link Status and Cable Length Detection. The Link Status feature automatically powers down ports that have no link, allowing the switch to save substantial amounts of energy by cutting power for unused ports or ports connected to computers that have been shut down. It can also detect connected cable lengths, and adjust power usage accordingly, helping you save energy without affecting networking performance. In addition, the fan-less design extends the switch's life and also reduces noise.

Draft Horse and Pony Show
Bill and Darcy Winslow and Gordon Curtis from the Farmers' Draft Horse, Mule and Pony Club, along with Judge John Weed, a Belgian breeder from Eddington, hosted a very successful Draft Show at the Fair on Sunday. The weather was beautiful and we had many spectators. Our show started with a solid class of Junior Showmanship entries, followed by halter classes to judge the confirmation of the horse. Belgians, Percherons and a Suffolk were presented before the Judge. Clarence Boulier's Belgian Mare was the Champion Mare.
Performance classes, including Bareback Riding and Barrel Racing, were highly competitive with rivalries coming from previous shows. In the afternoon the work classes began with the Wagon Obstacle course. Gordon set up a tough course that required a lot of skill from the team and teamsters. Next the Team Scoot Obstacle course again challenged participants. Our last class was the Single Horse Log Twitch Obstacle course. The judge selected Mrs. Gale Carlow from Hartland as Teamster of the Day.
Our exhibitors were Rick and Bonnie Seames, Pete Stratton, Cathy Simmons, Elisabeth Simmons, Clarence Boulier, Laurie and Chris Whitcomb, Kris and Darcy Fraser, Kolin Fraser, Marsha Faulkner, Ernest Garcia, Dean Richmond, Gale and Juan Garlow and Heidi Richardson.
Thanks to all the volunteers who help at the show and the Fair.

Fleece Tent Sets Record in a Record-Breaking Year!
The 2007 sales for the Fleece Tent at Common Ground Fair were up over 7% from 2006 – $10,100 in sales with approximately 1,050 pounds of Maine fiber sold. The dazzling weather didn't hurt: It brought a record-breaking 62,000+ people to the Fair.
This is great news for the Fleece Tent committee and the 45 growers who had fleeces in the sale this year. It indicates that our hard work is paying off and that the Fleece Tent is truly a destination for fiber lovers from Maine and beyond who seek the best of Maine fiber.
We had a lively fleece show on Saturday. Rae Reimer of North Tempest Farm in Biddeford served again as our judge, fielding questions from observers and sharing her in-depth knowledge about fiber. Of 21 fleeces registered, six received blue ribbons (with one best-in-show), five received red ribbons, and two, yellow ribbons. All participants received judging forms with scores and judge's comments.
"Across the way" the Wednesday Spinners tent had another busy, activity-filled weekend. Kids of all ages were attracted to the drop-spindling and felt-ball making on Friday. The large, striking Earth LoomTM drew many fairgoers throughout the weekend. We welcomed their colorful and creative additions to this year's piece. Add to these events the exhibit of beautiful afghans and a full schedule of well-attended talks and informal discussions – set to coordinate with the Fleece Tent talks – and we can easily say that we celebrated our 30th year at the Fair in grand style. Thirty years and counting!
We encourage all Maine fiber growers to consider taking part in the fleece sale and show next year. Anyone with questions about the 2008 sale or show should contact Penelope Olson (in Appleton) at 785-2784 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Poultry Exhibit
Thanks to some club members who added entries, we had a very nice show this year. Even the weather cooperated. We had 18 exhibitors, half of whom were Juniors. Of 131 birds entered, 32 were Junior entries. Junior Show Champion was a Rhode Island Red cock owned by Anitta Clark. Junior Reserve Show Champion was a Buff Bearded Silkie owned by Sarah Castle. Grand Champion of the Show was a Golden Sebright hen owned by Myron Lash. Myron also owns the Reserve Show champion – a Wheaten Old English cockerel. Many, many thanks go to Gayle McKeige, who took over the duties of Common Ground Country Fair Poultry Coordinator. She worked extremely hard and did a wonderful job. Also, thanks to the folks who helped set up and clean up. Thousands of appreciative people who passed through the poultry barn, enjoyed the exhibits, picked up handouts and had questions answered. We hope that next year we will have more cages to accommodate a bigger show.

Ticketmaster Says People Don't Like Service Fees Because We Don't Understand Them
from the I-don't-think-that's-it... dept
The only problem? While the tickets Azoff pointed to highlighted prices that included fees (amusingly, the fees on the cheapest ticket markup the official ticket price by a whopping 50%) some quickly discovered that this wasn't, at all, what they expected. That's because despite the implication that these prices now showed you full fees, some noticed another $6.50 fee tacked on at the end. After people pointed that out, Azoff again responded by claiming that Ticketmaster simply can't show you all the fees until it knows how many tickets are being bought and what the shipping method is.
A few hours later, Ticketmaster launched a blog, where the first post tries to delve into this by suggesting that the problem isn't the fees, it's that you don't understand the fees. Yeah, really. This is incredibly tone deaf on Ticketmaster's part. People understand fees just fine. As Eliot Van Buskirk at Wired points out "each dollar that comes out of their wallets is identical." No one cares that Ticketmaster has to pay various third parties, such as "promoters, venues, teams, artists" out of those fees.
Years ago, we discussed a nearly identical situation with phone bills, showing how people were incredibly annoyed with massive unexplained fees, and the telcos insisted they were necessary to "recoup costs." But, as we pointed out, in most businesses you recoup the costs in the list price and don't break out fees. Otherwise, we'd have lots of companies doing this sort of crap: Want a pizza pie? It's just $3, but there's a $3.50 "crust fee," a $9.38 "oven fee," a $4.50 "service fee," and a $2.18 "cleanup fee." Plus tax.
That, of course, is ridiculous and would piss people off -- just as telco fees do and just as Ticketmaster's fees do. If Ticketmaster wanted to make people happy it would stop telling people they need to be better educated about fees -- a subject they don't care about -- and just offer straight up, all-in, pricing. If Ticketmaster has to pay a bit more to some third party because of this, well, why not figure out a way to bake that into the overall price. It's called forecasting, and most other businesses predict their cost of goods sold using various forecasting methods, and it seems rather silly that Ticketmaster apparently cannot.

The 30-year-old singer announced that she signed on to design a line of clothing for Brazilian department store C&A.
Christina told reporters that "I am here and very focused on the campaign," adding that it was a short trip and she didn't have time to sight-see.

The Brazil international caught the Gunners midfielder before Cesar Azpilicueta set up Juan Mata's fine early strike.
Chelsea fought off a vastly-improved Arsenal side after the break to hold out for the win, and afterwards Ramires admitted he committed the foul but was glad to see his side get all three points.
"Yeah, it was a foul," he told Sky Sports. "[But] the win has much importance for us. In the last three games we had one win, one loss and a draw so it was important for us to win today."
Frank Lampard's penalty followed Mata's opener, and the Spain midfielder knows how vital it was for the Blues to see out the victory.
"Today was very important to us in two different ways," he said. "The first one was to keep going and try to reduce the gap to Manchester United and Manchester City, also to play well for our supporters who were a bit nervous after recent games, so we're happy to have done that today.
"It was important to score in the opening minutes and to play more relaxed once we were winning. In the first half we played really well, creating chances and scored two goals. In the second half we suffered a bit but Arsenal do have top players."

After two days of deliberations, a federal jury on Wednesday found Eugene Mullins, a friend and onetime aide to former Cook County Board President Todd Stroger, guilty of seven of eight counts at his corruption trial.
Mullins was acquitted of one count of wire fraud but convicted of three other wire fraud counts and four counts of bribery. The charges stemmed from four contracts he was accused of steering toward contractors in exchange for nearly $35,000 in kickbacks.
Mullins faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison on each count of wire fraud and 10 years in prison on each count of accepting a kickback. U.S. District Judge Amy St. Eve set sentencing for Dec. 19.
The verdict follows a colorful trial in which defense attorneys told animated stories to illustrate their points. In closing arguments, Mullins' attorney Brunell Donald-Kyei barked like a dog and later meowed to illustrate how four contractors changed their stories after being questioned by investigators.
Assistant U.S. Attorneys Sarah Streicker and Lindsay Jenkins said they were pleased with the jury's verdict. The not guilty verdict on the one mail fraud count and a detailed note jurors sent to the judge Tuesday show a "deliberate process" on the jury's behalf, Jenkins said.
"We were after the corruption that took place in Cook County," Jenkins said. "As a public official, he used the public trust for his gain."
While Donald-Kyei has maintained since the beginning of the trial that Mullins was targeted for refusing to cooperate with authorities investigating Stroger, Jenkins said that was never the case.
"The case wasn't about Todd Stroger. The case was about Eugene Mullins," Jenkins said.
Donald-Kyei said she remained certain the case was more about Stroger than Mullins.
"I said that from the beginning when I first got it back last August, and I don't think that has changed," she said. "Even in Roman times … people went through trials and things like that for political reasons. I still believe it was about him."
Mullins declined to comment after the verdict was announced. But as his attorneys said they still believed in his innocence, he stood behind them with his hands at his side, occasionally clenching his fists.
"As lawyers, we went in there and we fought," Donald-Kyei said. "The jury made its decision, but that doesn't change our belief in Eugene's innocence."
Donald-Kyei said the lawyers had not decided whether to appeal.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) Christian Watford scored 23 points to help No. 1 Indiana defeat Sam Houston State 99-45 on Thursday night in the Progressive Legends Classic.
Will Sheehey scored 18 points, Victor Oladipo had 14 and Jordan Hulls 10 for the Hoosiers (3-0), who shot 57 percent from the field and made 9 of 21 3-pointers.
Paul Baxter scored nine points and Marquel McKinney had eight for Sam Houston State (1-2). The Bearkats pushed Arkansas before losing their opener 73-68 on the road.
Indiana beat the Bearkats in every possible way. About the only thing Indiana coach Tom Crean could complain about was that the Hoosiers made just 30 of 44 free throws.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - Russ Smith scored a game-high 18 points, Chane Behanan grabbed a career-high 18 rebounds and added 12 points and the Cardinals routed the Bulldogs.
Behanan matched his career best in the first half with 13, outrebounding the Bulldogs (12) by himself.
Gorgui Dieng had 10 points and 13 rebounds while Wayne Blackshear added 13 points with five rebounds as the Cardinals (2-0) won the opener of the Battle 4 Atlantis tournament that continues next week in the Bahamas.
Louisville never trailed in its first meeting against Samford (1-2),
BAYAMON, Puerto Rico (AP) - T.J. Warren had 22 points and eight rebounds to lead the Wolfpack over the Nittany Lions in the opening round of the Puerto Rico Tipoff.
C.J. Leslie had 14 points and Rodney Purvis added 12 points for the Wolfpack (2-0). Purvis was 3 for 3 on 3-pointers and N.C. State shot 8 for 16 from beyond the arc.
Tim Frazier led the Nittany Lions (1-1) with 23 points. D.J. Newbill had 13 points and Jermaine Marshall added 11 points for Penn State, which shot 3 for 19 on 3-pointers.
LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) - Freshman guard Ben McLemore had 25 points and eight rebounds, Elijah Johnson added 18 points and the Jayhawks used a big second-half charge to beat the Mocs.
The Jayhawks (2-1), coming off a loss Tuesday night to Michigan State, got off to a sluggish start against the Mocs, and still trailed 42-30 in the opening minutes of the second half.
Jeff Withey began their comeback with a basket inside, Johnson ripped a 3-pointer and McLemore slammed down the first of back-to-back highlight-reel dunks to trigger a 27-4 run over the next 12-plus minutes. Kansas merely had to go through the motions down the stretch to wrap up the win.
Farad Cobb was 6 of 7 from beyond the arc in the first half before finishing with 21 points for Chattanooga (1-1), the perennial Southern Conference contender.
TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) - Mark Lyons scored 17 points, Solomon Hill added 10 and the Wildcats overcame some sloppy ball-handling to beat the Miners.
After taking care of the ball in its opener, Arizona (2-0) had some careless moments against UTEP, turning it over 19 times. The Wildcats also fouled a little too much, particularly in the second half, which let the Miners keep it close for a while.
Arizona made up for it by shooting 9 of 18 from 3-point range and dominating the glass, outrebounding the Miners 35-15.
Despite trailing by as many as 21 points, UTEP (1-1) remained aggressive, getting to the free-throw line 16 times in the second half.
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Norman Powell scored a career-high 27 points, Jordan Adams added 25 and the Bruins routed the Dukes in regional play of the Legends Classic.
Adams had 21 points in the season opener against Indiana State and 26 points against UC Irvine on Tuesday, making him the first freshman in school history to score 20-plus points in his first three games. He made all seven of his free throws, extending his streak to 23 in a row.
The Bruins (3-0) next play Georgetown on Monday in Brooklyn, N.Y., as part of the Legends Classic. They will then face either No. 1 Indiana or Georgia on Tuesday.
Rayshawn Goins led James Madison with 24 points, one off his career best.
CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) - Pierre Jackson had a season-high 31 points, Isaiah Austin had 16 and the Bears rallied in the second half to beat the Eagles in the Charleston Classic.
The Bears (3-0) will face Colorado, the team they beat in last season's NCAA run to the final eight, on Friday for a spot in Sunday night's championship final. Jackson led the way for Baylor with six of his team's 12 3-pointers.
Still, the Bears trailed 52-47 with about 15 minutes to go when Jackson and Austin fueled a 10-0 run to gain control. Austin had two inside baskets, and Jackson two 3-pointers to put Baylor ahead for good.
Boston College (1-1) got 25 points from sophomore Ryan Anderson. The Eagles will play Dayton on Friday.

Is 45:1,4-6 • 1 Thes 1:1-5b • Mt 22:15-21
Most of the coins and currency used in the United States bear the words, "In God We Trust." The idea for this arose during the Civil War when Salmon Chase was the Secretary of the Treasury. Although the Civil War was at full tilt, regardless of identifying with either North or South, almost everyone held in common their Christian faith in God. Secretary Chase thought that the motto would somehow become a source of hope.
Today it is very different. Rather than using God and faith as a source of hope and unity, many use God and faith to create division. There are constant lawsuits attacking the right to have displays of faith in public. There have even been attempts to have the motto "In God We Trust" removed from our money because it offends non-Christians, atheists, and agnostics.
There is the perennial fight to have the phrase "one nation under God" removed from the Pledge of Allegiance. A homilist reflecting on today's Gospel passage said about the Pledge, "I think [one nation under God] should be removed from our Pledge of Allegiance but not for any reason having to do with political correctness. I don't worry about my faith-offending people as much as I worry about offending God. Lies offend God, and the statement, is simply untrue. Unfortunately our divisions are so deep I'm not sure we are one nation, and more, our behavior as a society makes it exceedingly dangerous to say we are "under God."
Do we see faith in God as a gift that can unite as did Secretary Chase, or is our faith such that we really don't completely live "under God"?
Matthew himself lived in a politically charged environment. The Jews had revolted against their occupiers, the Romans, which resulted in the destruction of Jerusalem in the year A.D. 70. Writing more than 10 years later, Matthew had a community that also experienced severe divisions within society: between the Christian faith and other faiths, between following Christ and following an emperor who believed himself to be divine.
The tax was one denarius, equivalent to one day's pay, which had to be paid in Roman coin. On the denarius of the region was the head of Emperor Tiberius and the inscription, "Tiberius Caesar, august son of the divine Augustus, high priest." This was insulting to the Jews. There was only one divine King, and that was God.
The Pharisees were loath to pay the tax.
Amazingly, opposing Jesus with the Pharisees were their political and theological enemies, the Herodians. Herodians were supporters of Herod Antipas, who ruled from Galilee. The Romans put and kept Herod in power, so the Herodians supported Rome and its tax. Because they bitterly opposed each other, the Pharisees and the Herodians were strange bedfellows, but together they set a trap. If Jesus sided with the Pharisees, He would incur the wrath of the government, which would consider Him a leader of rebellion. If Jesus supported the tax and thus the Herodians, He would incur the wrath of the Jews, who regarded both the Roman coin and the tax as religiously offensive.
Instead of answering the question asked, Jesus changed the question into a theological question rather than a political one. He made a play on words that turned the trap around. The phrase, "You do not regard a person's status," comes from an idiom that does not translate well into English. More literally translated, the phrase says, "You do not regard the face of anyone." It was the way to say a person was impartial. So, Jesus did not regard the face of anyone, yet He asked, "Whose face is on the coin?"
The coin bore the image of the emperor, so legally the coin belonged to the emperor. Jesus simply indicated that the coin was the emperor's anyway — so it should be given back. But Jesus did not stop there. By implication, and believing that we are made in God's image, we belong to God and should be giving ourselves to God. Jesus said that we must be as careful about our obligation to God as we are to our obligation to the government.
We pay our taxes. We obey the law. For the most part, we do our best to be good citizens. Are we as careful about our obligations to God as we are to the state? Are we as compliant with the laws of God? Would it be possible to restore truth to the phrase, "under God," if we truly gave ourselves to God? Are we as good citizens of the kingdom of heaven as we are of our kingdoms on earth?
If we Americans want our lives to really be one "under God" and want our motto "In God We Trust" to be true, then we must each render to God what is His!

Penguins up win streak to 13 games
Pittsburgh, PA – Sidney Crosby scored the game's only goal, Marc-Andre Fleury and Tomas Vokoun teamed up for a 37-save shutout and the Pittsburgh Penguins extended their win streak to 13 games with a hard-earned 1-0 verdict over the Montreal Canadiens at CONSOL Energy Center.
Fleury turned aside all 25 shots he faced before exiting after two periods following a collision with teammate Tyler Kennedy, with Vokoun making 12 saves in relief to help enable the red-hot Penguins to record their second longest unbeaten stretch in franchise history, topped only by an NHL-record 17-game run during the 1992-93 season.
Nine of those triumphs have come without the services of reigning Hart Trophy recipient Evgeni Malkin, who remains sidelined with a shoulder injury.
"I think everyone's bought into what we're doing here," said Penguins defenseman Brooks Orpik. "It starts right from Sid and guys who are used to getting a lot of points. They are putting team goals way ahead of individual goals. I think we realize what our ultimate goal is here, and everyone has bought into that."
Carey Price took the hard-luck loss for Northeast Division co-leader Montreal, which dropped back-to-back outings in regulation for the first time all season. The Canadiens' backstop stopped 24-of-25 chances on the evening.
"I thought we played pretty well, that's the disappointing part" said Price. "Five millimeters was the difference in the game tonight."
Unlike the first meeting between the clubs this season, a 7-6 Penguins' OT victory in Montreal on March 2, Pittsburgh's potent offense was held in check all throughout the first half of the game. The Pens mustered a modest nine shots as Montreal controlled much of the action over the opening 30-plus minutes.
Pittsburgh was able to stem the tide on its 10th attempt, however.
Fleury's save on the Habs' Tomas Plekanec led to a Pittsburgh rush up the ice, with Chris Kunitz placing an outlet pass right on Crosby's stick and the Penguins' captain rifling the puck under Price's left arm to break the scoreless deadlock with 6:41 left in the second period.
Fleury came up with a tough stop on Max Pacioretty just seconds after Crosby's goal, one of 15 the Pittsburgh netminder registered during the middle session.
He didn't return for the third, however, after being shaken up when Kennedy was pushed into him by a Montreal player during a scrum in front 49.2 seconds prior to the second intermission.
The Canadiens kept Vokoun busy in the third, but the veteran managed to preserve the whitewash with the aid of a defensive corps that killed off an early penalty to Matt Cooke during the frame.
"You're going into the game when it's already going and we were winning, so you don't mess that up," Vokoun said afterward. "So you just go in and try your best and try to stop all of the shots."
Game Notes
The game marked the first between the teams in Pittsburgh since former Penguins head coach and current Montreal bench boss Michel Therrien joined the Canadiens. Therrien guided Pittsburgh to a Stanley Cup finals appearance in 2008, but was fired midway through the following season ... Forward Brenden Morrow made his Penguins' debut two days after being acquired in a trade with Dallas, while defenseman Kris Letang returned to the Pittsburgh lineup after missing three games with a lower-body injury sustained on Mar. 17 ... The Penguins sent rookie blueliner Simon Despres to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton to make room for Letang on the active roster ... Pittsburgh improved to 13-0-0 in March and established a new club record for victories in a month ... The Penguins are now 11-1-0 in one-goal games this season, with nine of their victories during the tear coming by that margin ... Each of the last five matchups in the series have been decided by a single goal.

Braves bring same potent staff into 2014's title defense
LAKELAND, Fla. -- The Atlanta Braves discovered the winning formula in 2013. Or, more precisely, they rediscovered it.
Either way, don't expect them to forget what works in 2014. Their roster isn't markedly changed since last year, and neither is their talent level. The Braves led the Majors in team ERA in '13 at 3.18. That's a good place to start.

"That was a big credit why we won our division," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said Thursday. "We caught the ball and we had great pitching. Our offense was just middle of the pack.
"And you know, I can live with that. I can live with that formula. The other way around, it's hard to live with that. You lead the league in batting average and runs scored and you're scoring 10 runs a game, but your pitching staff is giving up nine or 11 -- that's hard to live with.
"And that's what's been successful here all those years. Winning division after division, 14 straight when Bobby [Cox] was here. It's been a lot of pitching, a lot of pitching and defense."
The Braves lost their first road game of the Grapefruit League schedule, 5-2, to the Tigers on Thursday at Joker Marchant Stadium. But Atlanta would have to lose a lot of Spring Training games, and then a lot more, to have the club's confidence even mildly undercut.
This is a team that won the National League East by 10 games last season. And it wasn't as though the Braves were firing on all cylinders. They did not come close to getting what they expected offensively out of second baseman Dan Uggla and center fielder B.J. Upton. Both hit under .200 and struck out with alarming frequency. Uggla did chip in 22 home runs, but Atlanta could reasonably hope that both players come significantly closer to their career norms in 2014.
"That's fair," Gonzalez said, then added with a smile: "Who knows, if we do the pitching and the defense and the offense comes around, we may win 130. We may be the first team to win 130, 140 games. Five guys will be bidding for the Triple Crown and three guys for the Cy Young."
It is important to remember that was not a serious statement. It is Spring Training. It is OK.
Gonzalez, in a more serious moment, acknowledged he does have at least occasional worries about his club.
"You always need more pitching, I think," he said. "You're always an injury away. Those nights have not come yet, where you start worrying, but they will. So far, we've been really lucky. These kids who are pitching in the eighth and ninth innings [in early spring games], you're always looking, because you never know when you're going to need them.
"I'm still looking [for pitching], because you feel like that trainer is always walking toward you. And he knows that, so when he sees me, he's got a sign he goes like this [makes a safe sign]. So that means everything's OK, he just wants to come over and say 'Hi.'
"But yeah, you're always looking."
There is going to be a lot of talk about how the Braves will miss the leadership of Tim Hudson in the starting rotation and that of catcher Brian McCann in general. Taking absolutely nothing away from either consummate pro, it must be said that Atlanta's record improved after Hudson was hurt last season. And McCann, for all his contributions, had second-half numbers far under his career norms in 2013.
Will Kris Medlen, for instance, who worked two innings Thursday, be a "leader" for the rotation? It is probably much more important for the Braves that he pitch well.
"I hate labeling guys," Gonzalez said. "Huddy led by example. To me, that's more important than the guy who jumps up on the picnic table and yells and screams and then doesn't do what he just told everybody to do. Just go about your business, and everybody follows it."
For the Braves, going about their business includes pitching as well as anybody in the game. They have a relatively young, but distinctly talented rotation. And they have a bullpen with both quality and quantity, led by Craig Kimbrel, who last year went from being one of the best closers in baseball to being the best closer in baseball.
This is the surest formula for success in this game. The Braves have it, again, once more, still.

Cot beds Cots A cot will probably be your baby's bed until he is two years or three years old. It should be strong and sturdy without cracked or broken slats, with no jagged points or edges. If you are buying a new cot, it should conform to BS EN This standard ensures that the cot is deep enough to be safe for your baby, that the bars are the correct distance apart, and that the cot does not have cut-outs or steps.
If your cot is second-hand or borrowed, make sure the distance between each bar is no less than 2. You should not be able to fit a soft-drink can between the slats.
This is to prevent your baby's head from slipping between the bars.
It features fixed sides, complete with protective teething rails and three different mattress base heights. Experts advise that there should be no more than a 3cm gap between the mattress and cot, to avoid little arms and legs getting stuck in the gaps.
You can use your cot from the day your baby is born, if you like. However, many parents choose a Moses basket, crib, or carrycot for the first few months, or have their babies in the same bed as them. This is often because a newborn baby can look and feel a little lost in a big cot. Cots can be expensive, so you may want to think about buying one second-hand. Oval-shaped cots can often be later converted into a junior bed , chairs, or even a sofa. You can also buy bedside cots that fit right up against your bed.
This can be useful for night-time feeds. Most cots have drop sides and an adjustable base height to make it easier to lift your baby in and out as he grows. Most cots have two or three different base heights, but two heights are all you really need.
Many cots also have a teething rail, which is a protective plastic coating around the edges, to prevent your baby chewing on the wooden slats of the cot when he is older. Pros You can use the cot as soon as you bring your baby home. Your baby can sleep in his cot for two years or even three years.
Cons Cots are often not easily transportable from room to room. Newborn babies can look very lost in a large cot. Choosing a cot that has wheels on the bottom is a good idea if you want to be able to move it from one room to another.
Cot beds Cot beds are longer and wider than standard cots. Their main advantage is that they can be converted into a junior bed when your toddler outgrows his cot. They do not usually have drop sides and not all versions have different mattress positions. Pros Cot beds provide a spacious sleeping environment from newborn to toddler and beyond. Cons Not really a money-saver if you plan to have another baby soon, as you will need to buy another cot.
No drop side means it can be more difficult to get your baby in and out. Find out the safest place to put your baby's cot, and get more sleep safety tips in our expert video on baby sleep. April NCT nd. Sleeping safely in a cot.

Steel rotors provide a durable lightweight option in applications where sustained temperatures remain in the low-to-moderate range and high heat spikes are observed only intermittently. This could be anything from a hard-stopping drag car on the quarter mile to a high-speed qualifier on the circle. Steel rotors can also be found in lighter open wheel road course cars, as well as race vehicles like Sprint and Modified. Due to a special alloy and proprietary manufacturing, these rotors have high resistance to thermal distortion with excellent friction and wear characteristics against the pads.

The summer signing was on fine form as last season's runners-up made an impressive start to the 2013-14 league campaign
Summer signing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang grabbed a hat-trick and was a constant threat at the SGL Arena, becoming the sixth player in Bundesliga history to net a treble on his debut.
A Robert Lewandowski penalty with just five minutes remaining capped the rout for the visitors.
Augsburg put in a workmanlike performance but failed to trouble the Dortmund defence on many occasions.
After a tepid opening, Aubameyang opened Dortmund's account for the season with a diving header. He followed that up in the second half with a low drive from a Reus throughball, before rounding the goalkeeper for his third.
Juergen Klopp was without goalkeeper Roman Weidenfeller through suspension, with Mitchell Langerak coming in, while full-back Lukasz Piszczek and new signing Henrikh Mkhitaryan missed out through injury.
Augsburg had trouble of their own in the goalkeeping department with Mohamed Amsif deputising for the injured Alex Manninger, while Halil Altintop made his debut up front.
The away side almost made the perfect start in the opening minute when a Kevin Grosskreutz long ball ricocheted into the path of Aubameyang. He broke down the right and played the ball into the path of Lewandowski but the Pole's effort was blocked by Jan-Ingwer Callsen-Bracker.
But Markus Weinzierl's side were not overawed and pressed their opponents high up the pitch, going close through Altintop's first-time volley, although it went wide of goal.
The Bavarian side's gutsy plan came undone, however, as the visitors broke the deadlock in the 24th minute.
Marcel Schmelzer received the ball on the left-hand side of the pitch before delivering an exquisite lofted cross straight into the six-yard box where Aubameyang stole away from his marker to finish with a low diving header.
That goal re-energised a lacklustre Dortmund with Reus and Lewandowski becoming more involved further up the pitch.
Raphael Holzhauser went close twice shortly before the break as an effort was cleared off the line before Langerak strongly palmed away the Austrian's 30-yard effort.
Dortmund almost doubled their lead five minutes after the restart. Holzhauser's pass was intercepted and the away side launched a swift counter-attack.
The ball was moved to Aubameyang on the right where the Gabon international strode into the box and fired an effort towards the near post and was only denied by a good save from Amsif.
But he was not to be denied in the 67th minute.
Reus took ownership of the ball in the middle of the opposition half and slid a well-timed through-ball into the path of Aubameyang on the left-hand side of the box and the new-boy coolly slotted his effort across the goalkeeper into the far corner.
It got better for the forward with 10 minutes remaining. He sprung the offside trap to latch onto a Lewandowski through-ball before rounding Amsif and firing into the empty net.
There was time for one more as Jonas Hofmann was fouled in the box by Kevin Vogt. Lewandowski powered his effort beyond Amsif to open his account for the season and complete a comfortable opening-day victory for Dortmund.

The conservative white washing of Robert Bork's history of repulsive positions has only picked up speed in the wake of his death. And I've noticed a pattern where every single right wing tribute to him claims that he was unfairly and personally attacked without ever bothering to even mention, much less refute, any of the criticisms of him at the time of his failed nomination. The Worldnutdaily offers up pretty much exactly what one would expect:
The establishment did not know what to do with him. Friendly, compassionate and gifted with a massive intellect, Robert Bork defined the sophisticated conservative.
Friendly? Compassionate? Those qualities were about as far from Robert Bork as they could possibly be. He was brilliant, no doubt, but he had all the charm of an ebola virus and the terms arrogant and condescending might as well have been coined to describe him.
Probably because of that, progressives determined he could not be allowed on the high court, and their campaign of destruction kept him from serving as a U.S. Supreme Court Justice.
As explanations go, this is pretty high on the delusional scale. Yes, liberals didn't want him on the court because he was so friendly, compassionate and sophisticated. I'm sure it was exactly that.
Bork practiced law for nearly a decade before he joined the faculty of Yale in 1962. He sensed the change that was coming. He was alarmed that the push for civil rights was giving a cover to government interference in the private decisions of the American people that had nothing to do with ending segregation or Jim Crow. He was concerned that the First Amendment was being used to protect acts that had nothing to do with speech.
Yes, he was alarmed at the ideas of freedom and equality. Those things bothered him a great deal, which is why he spent the last 25 years of his life railing against them.
It was during the Nixon administration that he first gained the animosity of progressives. When Nixon decided to fire special prosecutor Archibald Cox, there was uproar on the left. The attorney general and the deputy attorney general resigned rather than comply with the president. Bork did what he saw as his duty. As the third in line at the Justice Department, he fired Cox and his staff, an event that became known by the embellished name of "Saturday Night Massacre."
He took issue with a subordinate member of the executive branch publicly defying the constitutional chief executive. As he saw it, Cox had to go.
Let's do a little thought experiment. Imagine that it was just discovered that the headquarters of the Republican National Committee had been broken into during the recent campaign by a group of criminals with close ties to the Obama White House. Imagine that Congress demanded the appointment of a special prosecutor to investigate the matter and the Department of Justice made such an appointment. Imagine that his investigation had documented that the break in had been ordered by President Obama himself and there was a huge criminal conspiracy working out of the White House. Imagine that President Obama then demanded that the special prosecutor be fired to prevent that investigation from going any further, that Attorney General Eric Holder was so outraged at the abuse of power that he resigned rather than carry out the president's orders and that his second in command did the same. Imagine that Solicitor General Donald Verrilli, the #3 man at the DOJ, agreed to fire the special prosecutor as the president demanded. We don't have to imagine that, of course, because that is exactly what happened during the Nixon administration shortly before he was forced to resign from office in disgrace. But imagine for a moment what the Worldnutdaily and every other conservative site in the country would say about that. Would they say that Verrilli was right to be bothered by the special prosecutor "publicly defying the constitutional chief executive"? Not a chance in hell. But that is exactly the argument being made in defense of Bork. And it's fucking idiotic.

Regulating new (mobile) media in Canada?
What: CRTC Public Hearing
When: Monday 17 September 2007 at 9 am
Where: Conference Centre, Phase IV, 140 Promenade du Portage, Gatineau, Québec
As the Americans make their move on net neutrality, in just over a week the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) will begin the public hearing to review its "approach to ownership consolidation and other issues related to the diversity of voices in Canada".
While I find many of the related issues interesting and important, I'll be there because the CRTC "has never [before] assessed whether policies need to be in place with respect to the ownership of new media undertakings in order to ensure an appropriate diversity of voices on these important new platforms." In other words, this will be the first time that the government looks specifically at regulating new media and I want to be there.
I definitely care how the CRTC tackles the matters of net neutrality, cultural plurality, public broadcasting and how technology policy is always already cultural policy, but my current research means I'll also be paying close attention to all things mobile. Major funders for new mobile media research and development in Canada include Canadian Heritage's Canadian Culture Online programme, the Bell Broadcast and New Media Fund and smaller programmes like the NFB's mobiDOCS initiative, so I expect they'll have reps there. I also hope to see some of the folks from OCAD's Mobile Experience Lab and the various Mobile Digital Commons Network projects too. But mostly, I'm curious to see if there are any private citizen concerns.
And since I've recently been writing about the differences between mobile media and wireless technologies (like the new smart meter just installed in our house), I'm also interested in seeing how these concerns play out in relation to the Broadcasting Act's mandate that the Canadian broadcasting system "should be regulated and supervised in a flexible manner that is readily adaptable to scientific and technological change [and] does not inhibit the development of information technologies and their application or the delivery of resultant services to Canadians."
Stay tuned for more after the 17th!

Let's start by getting the jokes out of the way. Yes, the '…for Dummies' books are my kind of books. And, No, that's not me on the front cover.
Now, that's over with…
I've got my hands on 30 copies of the 'Desktop Virtualisation for Dummies' booklet to give away. And, let's face it, desktop virtualisation is the kind of thing that needs a booklet like this. Despite believing that it would be important for education (after all, who else runs 300+ end-user applications on their network, with a typical support team of less than three people) I still find it confusing. After all, who wouldn't be confused when you're presented with so many choices:
- User state virtualisation
- Application virtualisation
- Session virtualisation
- Virtual desk infrastructure
- Blade-based virtual desktops
- Single-desktop virtual machines
So this booklet is a good starter guide to help you think about where (and whether) to start with desktop virtualisation. It's just 32 pages long, so just about the right length, and it sets out the strategies for virtualisation clearly. And it deals with the reasons for doing it in a clear way. For example:
|It's not as straightforward as saying 'desktop virtualization will save you money', but it certainly gives you more options when you come to deciding how that money might be spent – either by reducing operational budgets in terms of minimised downtime, or lowering management and support overheads, or potentially enabling capital expenditure to be reduced or deferred.
If you'd like your own free copy of Desktop Virtualisation for Dummies, then simply drop Mir an email, and he'll get one in the post to you (As they say in America, this offer is "good while stocks last, for people in the Great Britain area")
ps Have you already implemented some of the strategies for desktop virtualisation? If so, either drop me an email or add a comment to this blog, because it would be good to know how it's going.
