Fragmentation notices in ANTS Memory Profiler 7
When you profile an assembly, ANTS Memory Profiler analyzes the amount of fragmentation on the Large Object Heap (LOH).
It performs the following calculations to assess whether fragmentation is causing a problem:
Depending on the result of this calculation, an appropriate message is displayed:
- Memory fragmentation is restricting the size of objects that can be allocated.
(Displayed in red.)
The fragmentation ratio is less than 0.3:1.
- Memory fragmentation is affecting the size of the largest object that can be allocated.
(Displayed in orange.)
The fragmentation ratio is less than 0.6:1, and greater than 0.3:1.
- Memory fragmentation may be causing .NET to reserve too much free memory.
(Displayed in red.)
The free space ratio is greater than 0.7:1, and there are more than three empty blocks over 64k.
- Memory fragmentation may be causing .NET to reserve too much free memory.
(Displayed in orange.)
The free space ratio is less than 0.7:1, and greater than 0.4:1, and there are more than three empty blocks over 64k.
- There are many large fragments; fragmentation may become an issue over time.
(Displayed in black.)
There are more than ten empty blocks over 64k.

In 1925, Duzar,1 while studying blood pressure in childhood, observed that epinephrine given intravenously to children suffering from chorea caused cessation of choreiform movements for a period of from ten to fifteen seconds. As the effect of the epinephrine wore off the choreiform manifestations returned. By applying this observation empirically, he hoped to be able to cure chorea with repeated injections of epinephrine. Desiring to use large doses of epinephrine, he produced an alkalotic reaction of the blood by giving large doses of sodium bicarbonate.
Appreciating the significance of Sydenham's chorea and its allied rheumatic manifestations, and also that until this time arsenicals, bromides, nonspecific protein therapy and other medications have not proved to be adequate remedies, we welcomed Duzar's suggestion and believed it worthy of trial.
He outlined the following procedure, which he used as a routine:
1. Sodium bicarbonate, from 20 to 30 Gm., is given daily

Micah stared at him and stopped moving closer, then sighed and lowered his head, shaking it slowly.

Financing through Factoring For Staffing Agencies
- Payroll Financing Solutions
- Get Working Capital FAST
- Staffing Firms Advanced up to 95%
- Cash Flow Programs
- Client Credit Services
- Accounts Receivable Management
Whether you do IT staffing, security guard, labor, temp, nurse, health care or any other staffing company, Paragon Financial Group can help you with your payroll financing and other crucial working capital needs. At Paragon we offer some of the best rates and financing solutions available to staffing agencies through invoice factoring and accounts receivable financing.
Staffing is one of the bright spots in the US economy. We have been factoring and financing staffing related companies since 1994 and understand your industries issues like workers comp, concentration issues and payroll funding. It's hard to get good people and you better pay them ontime even though it can take 30-60 days for clients to pay you. Concentration issues can be difficult when you have one major client or two or three. Under these circumstances a traditional bank can't help but Paragon can.
Staffing firms can get up to 90% of their invoices advanced at Paragon through invoice factoring and accounts receivable financing. We also provide a gentle touch to your client. We undersand you have worked hard to built your relationships. It's not easy to sell and pick up clients. At Paragon we are the same way. We become a trusted partner between you, your client and debtor treating them just like you would handle them personally.
It's simple as that! Get started immediately by filling out the simple and quick online application on the right-hand side of this webpage.
Let Paragon Improve Your Cash Flow
Keep Capital Flowing Without Increasing Your Debt
This is not a loan. Paragon gets you money for your completed work, now. We don't ask for equity in your business; you retain full control.
Client Credit Services
Paragon can act as your in-house credit department at no cost to you. Before doing business with a new customer, let Paragon give you a comprehensive payment and credit history so you can avoid problem clients.
Control Your Accounts Receivable
Log on to our account manager to check your reports in real time. Print out your account data as you need it.
Paragon is not a collection agency, but we do have a team of callers that put in friendly reminders to clients with past due accounts. We make sure to handle all calls in a professional manner. After consulting with you first, Paragon is fully capable of applying pressure when needed.
Paragon lets you factor the invoices you want, when you want, with no long-term contracts. We let you factor as much or as little of an account as you wish. You factor only what is advantageous to you.
Available Cash Lets You Win More Business And Get Discounts From Suppliers
Big companies can take longer to pay you. This can restrict your available cash and make it difficult to complete orders or perform larger jobs. Invoice factoring can give you the available cash to pay your suppliers quickly. As little as a 2% quick pay discount can cover the greater part of your factoring cost.

Now is a good time to go feather hunting. That hammer is a nice reward. But it doesn't matter, you would just be helping yourself get the hammer next district since you can't get it now. It takes all 100 feathers from all districts to get the hammer. But you don't need it for the end of the game, it's just something to think about. I wouldn't, but full disclosure.
From the Rialto, go to Emilio's old place.
You are sent to the far east district to the border.
Talk to the injured guy on the roof.
Just go north to the red zone, and clear your way to the NE roof. Double kill a pair, then quickly get the archer. Directly under is where the guy is screaming, and four guards protect the door. Aerial kill two and then finish off whoever stays. Open the door after.
Kill the three, meaning assassinate the ones that don't target you and counter the one that does. Then just navigate the streets, not the rooftops, to take him to the other zone to the south. Kill a group in the streets, then two more at the end.
Pass through the door to complete.
Enter his ruined house for this mission.
Approach this building from its south side to climb up to the roof. Aerial kill two at once, then the last. Open the door to get allies.
Next group is further east. And the final is NW of there. Only notable thing of the final group is they have a pike enemy, so kill him first, or just open the cage, your call.
To the very SW corner of this district. Just climb its south face.
Six are now revealed. All are listed relative to the center of the district:
*NOTE: For the first one, if you really want to, you can wait to get it during the course of a mission up ahead. Up to you.*
South - Is just NE of #54. It's a huge bell tower, and you will have to do many leaping climbs no matter which side you go up, including at the top when you see the bells through the bars. Then just climb the N or S side of the steeple to reach the top of the cross. Jump SE to the hay cart.
Southeast - You can climb up it's south face, and leap climb near the top; can't get on from directly below the board.
East - This one is another tall bell tower, same as the 55th one, and it's over the jail your sprung that guy from.
This appears to the south of the 57th VP once you climb it. Just double-kill the front two guards and then anyone left.
Still three more VPs in this district.
North - If you check the map and you haven't gotten the last two VPs, you can enter the docks through an open gate on the western wall of the docks, probably still in the fog on your map. The VP is on the wall, so take the western roofs to reach the wall, then follow the path to the point.
Northwest - The VP is on the E Paolo, climbable up its west face.
Glyph 4 - Near the last VP, this is on the San Marco. Climb to its roof and look at the back of the front face. For the picture game, it's in the RPG, on the one guy's helmet, and then just look over the far end of the front line for something to appear in the smaller window on your scanner (not the line with the horses and I presume generals, the one behind them). And finally the monster on the upper right holds a flame with something in it.
West - Very near the border of the Ducale district. A more traditional bell tower climb.
27. Just near the SE travel station, it's on the side of the buildings facing the highlighted church.
28. From this little island surrounded by canals, you'll find the next feather above the bridge just to the west. More on a building.
29. Now go directly west to Bart's HQ and get this feather above his door.
30. From here, go NE to find this on a canal bridge.
31. From here you can see the next feather to the north, so go get it above the canal bridge near the dock entrance.
32.Go directly east to the canal along the SE edge outside the dock walls. The feather is over the street between the buildings, on the east side of the canal bridge.
33. Get inside the docks and head to the NW corner. This is on some boards between the buildings here.
34. Then get on the north wall and head east to find this feather.
35. Just southwest of the docks, outside the walls, on the north end of the building that looks west.
36. On the south side of a building right behind the Paolo (the east of the two highlighted churches in the NW of the district).
Back to Bart's house for this mission.
The first marker is far to the north, so just walk up the streets with your gang. Send them after the marked enemies, then kill the big guys first. Stand on the marker after.
Next marker is to the SE, mostly east. You can take out at least one with an aerial assassination if you do it fast.
Next pair are NE of here, and the only trouble is getting you guys there as I ran into two groups of enemies before the marker. The pair you must kill can easily be killed with a double kill from the air.
Back to Bart's to pick up the assassination mission.
This is a VP, and it requires a few leaps.
After you hit the marker to fire the signal, leap in Bart's direction to land in the canal, then go near him. Now kill two armored guards while they are aggroed and that's it.
Run north to fight in front of the docks. The big guy is the main target, Dante. You can't assassinate him, so just whip our your Altair's Blade (you bought it right?) and start fighting. No counter kills, just quick step and attack.
Now you must chase and kill both Dante and Silvio. You have like five minutes, but easy to do this in less than one. Follow them and their paths will be occupied with lines of guards. One key point is the first line, which they can break up themselves, and for some reason they pause, leaving a good spot to try for a double-kill. If not, just take them out one at a time. To get through the guard lines, just climb to any ledge and leap beyond them, even if you just leap along the wall. I imagine both are extremely easy to kill once you reach the ship.

Certified Civil Trial Attorneys
The Supreme Court of New Jersey has directed the Board on Attorney Certification to administer the attorney certification program in an effort both to protect consumers from false advertising and to raise the level of competence of attorneys in this State. This program is designed to help the consumer make an informed decision when seeking and selecting a lawyer.
When the New Jersey State Supreme Court designates attorneys as "Certified Trial Attorneys", it means that such attorneys have attained a level of experience and skill at trial, and that they are proficient at pursuing litigation through trial. The Supreme Court, through its Board of Attorney Certification, designates only those lawyers who apply for certification and who are able to meet the standards set by the Board and approved by the Court.
What are the requirements for an attorney to become a "Certified Trial Attorney"?
• An attorney must be a member in good standing for at least five years;
• An attorney must verify that they have completed the mandatory number of trials in the Superior Court of the State of New Jersey;
• An attorney must have taken continuing legal education courses in the 3 years prior to filing an application;
• An attorney applying for Certification must submit peer attorney and Judge references from those who would acknowledge and confirm the attorney's skills, ethics and character;
• Lastly, an attorney must pass a written exam covering various aspects of trial practice.
Less than 2% of the 70,000 licensed attorneys in New Jersey are certified.

So, with help from the Mrs. (she drew the names out of the hat), I was able to narrow down our 7 winners to 3 for the 'Guessing the correct winners of the first round of the TV Tournament.' (It's possible I have to tidy up the name of that).
Congratulations to:

My Picks from Free Comic Book Day
By Allison Eckel
If you visited All Things Fun! or another Local Comic Shop on May 5, you likely grabbed three free comic books. That was a small percentage of the goodness available on that Free Comic Book Day (FCBD). I was fortunate enough to gain access to a complete stack of the free comics available. Although not all of them fit with my reading taste, a whopping 25 titles out of 76 are stories I would continue to read. That is one-third of the titles pushed by publishers at this year's event. Remember, many free comics contained at least two stories – some as many as six – so these numbers are based on titles promoted with at least a few pages of story, not the ones treated to a single-page ad.
First, a disclaimer to explain what I look for in comics. If you read my posts, you may have an idea of what attracts me to a book. I like smart storytelling with well-crafted characters. I don't like gratuitous violence. I like pretty pictures of pretty people, and the artists get a bonus if they use their space in creative ways. Since we are all attracted to different aspects of comics, your list would look different from mine. Following is a list of the highlights, sorted by publisher. These are all stand-out stories currently outside the mainstream of comics (read: not DC or Marvel). Follow the links for any of these that sound interesting and contact your Local Comic Shop (ahem, for All Things Fun! subs or one-time orders, stop in or call) to ask about availability.
Antarctic Press: Zombie Kid is not just a snarky spoof of the popular Diary of a Wimpy Kid series (although it started out that way and got into trouble for it; details here). It is similar in concept in that each story centers on an awkward middle-grade boy experiencing physical and social changes. For Zombie Kid's Bill Stokes, however, those changes are not due to puberty but to a zombie virus. Hilarity ensues. Actually, I root for Bill more than his successful mainstream predecessor because he is not a lazy underachiever. Rather than a wimp hoping to go unnoticed by the world, Bill has big dreams of video game championships and keeps a diary as a training tactic. I am not a fan of Wimpy, but I do like Zombie.
Archaia Entertainment: Consider everything they publish. For FCBD this year, they offered a beautiful hardcover anthology of six titles they are bringing to comic shops now or imminently. Every one is worth consideration: Mouse Guard, Labrynth: Hoggle and the Worm, Steps of the Dapper Men (a prelude to Time of the Dapper Men), Rust, Cursed Pirate Girl, and Cow Boy. Visit the publisher's site and click "titles" for a full list, including age ratings, which I much appreciate.
Aspen: Homecoming and Idolized. I am not familiar with the worlds of Aspen Comics, but they look to be populated with pretty young people with super-powers or guns, or both. There's nothing wrong with that, but I expected the stories to be as vapid as the characters looked. As a suburban mom who reads comic books, I should know better than to make such snap judgments. Homecoming centers around a group of high school friends endowed with alien abilities when a long-lost girl appears in someone's pool (naked, natch). The title links several events together, including the return of this lost girl, the aliens who may have taken her, and the eponymous high school dance. The openning pages sucked me in and I didn't want them to let go.
Idolized is teased with fewer pages, but just enough to give us a glimpse of a world rife with possibility. What if the world were full of super-powered people? Stands to reason that realtiy tv would eventually feature a few. Supers on reality TV is now officially a trend, with Image Comic's America's Got Powers in full swing (I recommend this one too, by the way). The sample of Idolized introduces us to Leslie, a quiet girl who wants to be the first "superhero idol" out of a need for redemption. Cut to the flash back and remember to breathe...
Boom! Studios: The Hypernaturals. What if a world-renowned super-hero group similar to JLA or Avengers called itself the Hypernaturals and rotated its roster every few years to keep the members in their youthful prime? Then, what if the latest team disappeared on their first mission in a scary, mysterious way? The older heroes would have to dust off that spandex to find them. New concepts in super-hero comics are difficult to find, and The Hypernaturals manages to stay fresh and compelling.
Image Comics: Waiting for G-Man and It Girl and the Atomics. I already mentioned Image Comics' new limited series America's Got Powers, which you should all check out. From their FCBD issue, I also recommend Waiting for G-Man and It-Girl and the Atomics. I don't actually know a lot about G-Man, but it seems funny, all-ages goodness with a smart mind at the helm (will the title actually refer to the Beckett play? I can't wait to find out).
It Girl takes on the physical properties of anything she touches. Touch concrete, become solid and immovable. Touch a plastic shopping bag, and float with the wind off of a high building. I think that's a pretty cool concept. Plus, the supposedly reformed villain she meets is called the Skunk, complete with bushy tail. I like the way this starts; whether I stay with it will depend on the quality and depth of the stories that unfold.
Trend Alert: Dinosaurs!
Dinosaurs seem to be an ongoing trend in comics. Four titles feature them, which may be the biggest trend outside of "superheroes." Atomic Robo (Red 5 Comics) has a comical dino adversary; Dinosaurs v. Aliens (Liquid Comics) is dramatic and written by Grant Morrison; Jurassic Strike Force 5 (Zenescope) comes off like an after-school cartoon full of cool/macho soldiers that happen to be dinosaurs (well, it is from Zenescope); and Neozoic (Red 5 Comics) blends mysterious monster dinos with swords and female leads in a way that evokes Ring of Fire. I already enjoy the all-ages, super-cool Super Dinosaur (Kirkman's SkyBound). Atomic Robo has a similar tone, though its brainy scientist is an actual robot instead of a kid. There may be room for both in my list, but I will definitely check out Neozoic – it seems the freshest of the bunch.
Although many of the above titles are considered "all ages," I have a selection of kid-specific comics to tell you all about next time. Until then, give a few of these new titles a try, and tell me what you think.

CD/LP/Track Review
Nik Bartsch's Ronin: Stoa (2006)
One of ECM's strengths is its ability to find young players with new conceptions that not only keep its catalogue fresh and innovative, but also often create insidious paradigm shifts which extend beyond the label's purview. In recent years artists like saxophonist Trygve Seim and pianist Tord Gustavsen haveoften in the subtlest of wayshelped reshape contemporary music. Add to that list 35 year-old pianist Nik Bartsch and his group Ronin. As significant and groundbreaking an album as you're likely to find, Ronin's ECM debut, Stoa, is as much about what it isn't as what it is.
While repetition plays a large part in Bartsch's largely through-composed music, that's not due to any kind of electronic looping. With the exception of a little Fender Rhodes, Ronin is an all-acoustic, real-time ensemble featuring, along with Bartsch, bass/contrabass clarinetist Sha, bassist Bjorn Meyer, drummer Kaspar Rast and percussionist Andi Pupato. Minimalist composers, in particular Steve Reich's percussion-heavy work, are important antecedents for Stoa.
But while Bartsch's writing manifests unassailable architecture, the visceral grooves avoid the mathematically sterile trappings of pure minimalism. The repetitive nature of Bartsch's grooves could be considered hypnotic or trance-inducing if they weren't so interactive and impossible to relegate to the subconscious. And while there's a certain degree of improvisation in this music, it's by no means a singularly defining characteristic.
So what, exactly, is Bartsch's music? He calls it "Zen-Funk," and "Ritual Groove," and both are remarkably vivid and astute descriptions. The five numbered "Moduls" that make up Stoa emphasize organically evolving and propulsive interlacing rhythms, an almost antithetical perspective about soloing, and an approach that demands constant attention, rather than lulling the listener into a meditative state. Steve Reich meets Steve Coleman, if you will.
Despite such a strongly defined compositional approach, the five pieces on Stoa manage to blend into one another and create a seemingly continuous experience, yet they remain clearly delineated at the same time. "Modul 36," for example, opens the album with random strikes of a low piano note separated by long silences. A four-note arpeggio in 5/4 emerges, with Meyer's bass line gradually suggesting harmonic movement. Rast enters past the six-minute mark and a steady groove finally emerges. The closest thing to a theme shows up around the seven-minute point, where Bartsch and Sha alternate a series of long tones with a powerful unison flurry. Bartsch improvises at various times throughout, and while he stands out, it's less a case of virtuosity on display than responding to the maelstrom-like polyrhythms underneath. "Modul 32" is considerably darker, while the delicate beginnings of "Modul 33" ultimately lead to a more propulsive rhythm.
While repetition and gradual thematic evolution are fundamental parts of Bartsch's writing, so too is a compositional attention to melody that makes them more than mere experiments in intersection. Stoa is an important album that stands to expand the way we look at the junctures between repetitive motifs, insistent rhythms and form-based improvisation.
Track Listing: Modul 36; Modul 35; Modul 32; Modul 33; Modul 38_17.
Personnel: Nik Bartsch: piano, Fender Rhodes piano; Sha: bass and contrabass clarinet; Bjorn Meyer: bass; Kaspar Rast: drums; Andi Pupato: percussion.

Stress Fractures
Explanation, Treatment and Prevention
Symptoms and Treatment
It is important to see your physician if you develop localized bone tenderness not associated with trauma. Pain that does not decrease with rest, is constant in nature, or keeps you awake at night, is of great concern and may indicate a significant injury. You may also notice localized redness, swelling and tenderness when you push on the bone. Pain that is next to the bone, decreases when you are off your feet, and resolves with rest, may only be a soft tissue irritation that can be self-managed conservatively.
An X-ray on the area may not prove positive for two to 10 weeks after the onset of injury. Bone scans and MRIs are more sensitive tests. Hopping on the affected limb can also help with the diagnosis.
The good news is that most stress fractures will heal given adequate time and rest. When diagnosed early, treatment involves rest, ice, and anti-inflammatory medication. You may need an air splint or air cast, and in some cases, crutches. Surgical intervention may be required when the fracture line spans completely across the bone.
The bad news is that the treatment also includes not running. While this is a difficult prescription, it must be followed: I remember one patient, a high school runner, who tried to run through a stress fracture, to the extent of removing a cast the treating physician had placed on her leg to prevent her from running. She eventually required surgery and missed two consecutive seasons.
Put simply, recovery requires no running or repetitive weight bearing activities. Cycling, deep-water running, and other activities will help maintain your aerobic base. As the injury heals, you can begin to return to running, slowly increasing your intensity and duration.

This little gizmo can really get you out of a bind when something gets dropped in an inaccessible spot. Handy little tool to have around, might only be used once in a blue moon or even two, but when you need one - you really need one!!! For the money, worth having just to be safe.
Freeport, IL
This slim,compact and retractable tool has served me well over the years. It works great for picking up small nails, tacks, screws, nuts, washers and bolts that have found their way into a recess with limited access. It is very compact with a retracted length of 4 1/2" and will extend to 16 1/4". Remember this one is for the small stuff. For the bigger stuff and a longer reach use the search term of - Craftsman Pocket Telescopic Magnetic Pick-Up Tool You'll have several choices and grip ratings to chose from, options are good.
Olympia, WA
They have the right idea with this part, the problem I see with it, is they are using a ferrous style magnet in the tip, and for it being that small, to have any real pull, you really need to use a rare earth magnet. The telescoping and pocket clip are fine though.
Dallas, TX
This tool works great for picking up screw, nails, tacks etc that get stuck in hard to reach places. The telescoping feature is the best. And it folds up to the size of a pen to fit nicely in your pocket or briefcase!
High Point, NC
great when you just need to find the screw you dropped
Delafield, WI
I love this tool - use it a lot when I work on pinball machines to pick up dropped screws and nuts. Well designed, rugged, collapses into a pen shape that can fit in your pocket. Powerful magnet! And the cost is very low in my opinion. Get one!
Baraboo, WI
Great little picker upper. Its not good when you drop that nut next to the battery and don't wanna rip it all apart to get it back. Worked like a charm. Also great around the shop to get bolts and screws that have fallen in tight places. Great stocking stuffer.
Charlevoix, MI
The truth is, I seem to drop a lot of small parts. This is an inexpensive and handy tool. It can save a lot of little cuts on the hands from digging in small places for small parts. Folds up nice and small when not in use. Strong little magnet on the end of this device also. When extended fully, you need to be pretty steady, especially if you are digging around metal. The magnet will sway and attach to any metal it gets close to. On a couple occasions I gave up and grabbed my extendable grabber claw instead.
Sanford, FL
I have a larger mag pickup tool but it dosen't fit into the tight spaces like this one does and even though it is small it still picks up larger nuts and bolts.
Escondido, CA
my dad bought this item because it was at a low price on the first day it broke it bends really easy when it is fully extended he returned it and got another one but this one lasted more because he knew that it would break very easy but it got the job done it is prety good but it has to be well treated

St. Petersburg, FL, USA; Tampa Bay Rays right fielder Ben Zobrist hits a walk off two-run home run in the eleventh inning against the Texas Rangers at Tropicana Field. Credit: Kim Klement-US PRESSWIRE
The American League playoff races continue to be tight, as eight teams are within 3½ games of the five postseason spots.
A.L. East | W | L | |
Yankees | 78 | 60 | - |
Orioles | 77 | 61 | - |
Rays | 76 | 62 | 2 |
The American League East no longer has two teams tied for its top spot... yet somehow, the race seems even tighter Saturday morning, with three teams now within two games of first place.
Yankees 8, Orioles 5: The New Yorkers used the long ball to defeat the host Orioles. Alex Rodriguez, Steve Pearce and Russell Martin all went deep; the Yankees built up a 7-0 lead by the fifth inning. Baltimore tried to mount a comeback, matching the three round-trippers; Adam Jones, Robert Andino and rookie Manny Machado homered for the Birds, but it wasn't enough, as the Yankees took back sole possession of first place in the AL East.
Rays 3, Rangers 1: The Rays have a knack for these sorts of things in playoff races, it seems. After the teams traded single runs in the fifth (Rays) and sixth (Rangers), no one scored the rest of the way through the regulation nine. Wade Davis struck out five of the six hitters he faced in extra innings, and Ben Zobrist won the game for the Rays with a walkoff home run after B.J. Upton led off the bottom of the 11th with a walk.
A.L. Central | W | L | |
White Sox | 74 | 63 | - |
Tigers | 73 | 64 | 1 |
Royals 7, White Sox 5: The Royals continued their curious domination of the White Sox this season, winning for the ninth time in 13 meetings. Kansas City's Lorenzo Cain hit a pair of home runs, the second one, a two-run shot, the eventual game-winner in the top of the ninth. The White Sox hit three homers of their own (Alexei Ramirez, A.J. Pierzynski and Alex Rios), but it wasn't enough.
Angels 3, Tigers 2: Fortunately for the White Sox, the Tigers also lost Friday night, to the wild-card-contending Angels in Anaheim. This maintained Chicago's lead at one game over Detroit. The game was tied at 2 after three innings; the Angels won in walkoff fashion when Alberto Callaspo singled home pinch-runner Peter Bourjos with two out in the ninth. With the win, the Angels crept to within two games of a wild-card spot.
A.L. West | W | L | |
Rangers |
82 | 56 | - |
Athletics |
77 | 60 | 4½ |
Athletics 6, Mariners 1: A.J. Griffin allowed just one run in 5⅓ innings and late-season waiver pickup George Kottaras hit a three-run homer to lead the A's to the victory in Seattle, where the Mariners had won 11 of their previous 15 home games. Cliff Pennington went 4-for-4 to pace a 13-hit Oakland attack. Mariners ace Felix Hernandez got hit hard, allowing 11 of those 13 hits in just 4⅔ innings.
A.L. Wild Card | W | L | |
Athletics |
77 | 60 | ½ |
Orioles | 77 | 61 | - |
Rays | 76 | 62 | 1 |
Angels | 75 | 63 | 2 |
Tigers | 73 | 64 | 3½ |
Next Up: All of the above series continue Saturday, with an afternoon affair between the Royals and White Sox in Chicago; all the rest of the games between the contenders will be under the lights. The top pitching matchup pits Tigers ace Justin Verlander against Angels lefthander C.J. Wilson.

Spotify officially launches on BlackBerry
Spotify on BlackBerry is nothing new but only now has Spotify released an official app on the BlackBerry World app store. Previously, users had to download the service through the browser. Here's a rundown of what to expect.
It's taken a while for Spotify to officially reach BlackBerry App World. The service has, after all, has been available on iOS and Android for quite some time.
Windows 8: the next generation of Windows Phone unveiled
The Spotify app for premium users brings all the expected mobile features, including access to millions of songs, offline playlists, the ability to create and sync playlists, search tracks, artists and albums, and receive music from friends.
Spotify for BlackBerry is said to be compatible with the following handsets: BlackBerry 9780 Bold, 9700 Bold, 9300 Curve, 9000 Bold and the 8520 Curve.
BlackBerry-maker RIM has been outlining plans to take on the competition with its new BlackBerry 10 devices. Apps will be a big part of that strategy, so we hope for even more apps to appear on BlackBerry App World.
The first BlackBerry 10 device will ditch the familiar qwerty keyboard for a touchscreen. While some see it as a step forward, others do not. Thankfully, BlackBerry hasn't forgotten about its keyboard fans. RIM promised that future BlackBerry 10 devices will have a keyboard.
Hit the link below for more on what the future holds in store for BlackBerry devices.

You have several choices to apply for funding your campus event or organization. Large all-campus events are funded by USS, but also by the Student Activities Finance Committee (SAFC) and, for undergrad events, Lang Student Union (LSU). Certain initiatives can even qualify for funding through an Office of the Dean or the Office of the Provost.
The USS does not provide general funding for organizations. That is done by SAFC and OSDA.
The USS regularly funds all-campus events, that is, events that involve students from at least three divisions. We are always looking for new ideas, so if you have some, let us know! We welcome proposals for funding of events that serve students across the university.
For the 2012-2013 academic year, the USS will grant up to $5000 per semester of funding to student organizations officially recognized by the Office of Student Development and Activities (OSDA), student groups, and student- and departmental-initiatives.
All those interested and qualified for funding must submit a completed Online Funding Form at least 48-hours prior to a scheduled meeting, and must have a representative to present their proposal before the Senate. Any proposal submitted less than 48-hours ahead of time, as well as walk-in proposals, may be scheduled to the next meeting, at the sole discretion of the Senate. Presentations should be no longer than three minutes, with five minutes available for questions and suggestions. The USS may vote that evening or recommend changes to the current proposal. The USS reserves the right to fund only specific parts of any proposal, amend a proposal, set expiration dates allocated funds, and/or make funding contingent on procedures or protocols set by the Senate. Allocation is also dependent upon the organization's capacity to follow Funding Allocation Guidelines.
Once a proposal has been reviewed, the primary contact for the proposal will be informed as to the result of the vote. If passed, funding can be accessed through either OSDA (registered student groups) or the Office of Student Services (all other initiatives.) Students will also be contacted by members of the USS Finance Committee for further assistance and to confirm final expenditures. During the funded event, credit must be given to the USS as a sponsor, in the form of verbal acknowledgment and placement of USS logo on all publicity materials.
- Projects must be open to all members of The New School community.
- Projects must be headed by currently enrolled New School students.
- wages
- travel or lodging without exemption from the Office of Student Services
- alcohol
- for-profit events
- catering expenses over $20 per person
- any funding over $5,000 per group, per semester
- more than $500 per person in transportation costs
- senior capstones or individual pursuits outside of The New School
We thank you for taking the time to read these guidelines and apply for funding. If you have any questions, you are more than welcome to attend a meeting or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Morgan Linton, Jason Thompson and Tan Tran Host The Best Domaining Party of 2012
Sunday, December 9, 2012 5:06
Morgan Linton, Jason Thompson and Tan Tran host the best Domaining Party of 2012. The drive from West Hollywood to the City of Laguna Hills, California, located in South Orange County took an hour and 20 minutes. Tan Tran the mastermind behind FreshDrop.net hosted the 2012 Southern California Domainers Meetup at his house.
Jason Thompson was one of the main speakers who spoke to a crowd of 50+ Domainers about building custom Amazon Associates stores that publish thousands of items in minutes; I learned more in 30 minutes than I did in 10 years about Amazon Stores! For those of you who are interested in developing your domain names than I recommend you follow JasonThompson.co!
Kevin Faler was also among the crowd that I had the pleasure to meet. Kevin got into the game in the mid 90's and tonight he was at the meetup with his Son who is on the right track as far I'm concerned; domain name development is the only solution!
I also had the pleasure to meet Paul Sawhney the Sales Manager at Price.com and Robert Chandler the owner of InternetAddressSolutions.com. Paul's generic dot india (.in) domain name portfolio is huge! At the rate India is booming, Paul will be one of the key players profiting from the 1 Billion + souls in India!
Ron Wells aka Sandiego Domainer (RonaldWells.com) was also one of many Domainers I was fortunate enough to meet. Time went by so quickly that I did not get a chance to meet everyone.
Morgan Linton finished the night with inside secrets on how to buy and sell domain names to End Users. If you don't know who Morgan Linton is than you better look him up and follow him at MorganLinton.com! The half hour presentation on how to find, approach and seal the deal with End Users was priceless!
The 2012 Southern California Meetup was a success and I like to thank Tan's family for the delicious food and hospitality.
Until my next Domaining News Article, Happy Domaining!

Interest-Only ARM
Definition of 'Interest-Only ARM'An adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) with an initial interest-only payment period. During the interest-only period, only the calculated interest must be paid; no principal must be repaid. The length of the interest-only period varies with each mortgage type. After the interest-only period, the mortgage must amortize so that the mortgage will be paid off by the end of its original term. This means that monthly payments must increase substantially after the initial interest-only period lapses. |
Investopedia explains 'Interest-Only ARM'Interest-only ARMs carry a great deal of payment-shock risk. Not only do the payments have the potential to increase because of an increasing fully indexed interest rate, but the expiration of the interest-only payment means that payments will increase when it becomes a fully amortizing payment. Additionally, because the mortgage's principal balance is not reduced during the interest-only period, the rate at which home equity increases, or decreases, is entirely dependent upon home-price appreciation. Most borrowers intend to refinance an interest-only ARM before the interest-only period ends, however a reduction in home equity can make this difficult. |

The problem is an ancient one but let us keep the examples less than a century old. At the start of World War I in 1914, there were two types of artillery shells. One was high explosive. The other, more expensive to build and theoretically more effective, was shrapnel. This type was like a shotgun shell. It exploded in the air and sprayed the ground below with metal balls. Tests had shown that these balls would penetrate wood boards set up to represent troops. Because of the expense less than half the shells used were shrapnel. The need for more artillery shells and the high cost of shrapnel shell led to it being largely replaced by the less effective high-explosive.
Later came a startling revelation. In the 1930s, a group of American technicians were setting up some shrapnel shells for a test and one shell exploded prematurely, peppering some of the people with the "lethal" metal balls. They all survived. Further investigation revealed that human skin, muscle, and bone were far more resistant to the metal balls than wood boards. World War I combat surgeons, when questioned, remembered that they had never seen a penetration wound caused by shrapnel balls. There has never been much official note made of this very humane weapon during or after war.
During World War II there was much more of this. Often it was technology that engineers and staff officers thought would be very important but then failed when encountering reality. One example was the gun stabilizer on the American M-4 tank. This revolutionary new device would allow the main gun to fire accurately while the tank was moving. In combat, crews found that it was not reliable enough, it was difficult to operate, and it ran down the battery quickly. It was rarely used.
During the Vietnam War many items of "brilliant new technology" were sent off to the combat zone, where the gear and the developers got a reality check. This continued after Vietnam. But Vietnam experience made developers a bit more cautious and questioning and this sometimes paid off. For example, during the 1980s, the CIA got a largely intact Russian anti-missile flare system from a Russian warplane that had crashed in Afghanistan. This was given to American aircraft technology experts for examination. The flare system was actually put back into service and tested. Then it was discovered that the Russian flares were of uneven quality and this turned out to be a big deal. When tested against the latest American heat seeking air-to-air missile, which was designed to avoid these flares and go for the aircraft, the Russian flares fooled the American "flare detector". That was because the "flare detector" had been tested using American flares which were manufactured to more uniform standards than their Russian counterparts. If a flare did not match what the flare detector had been programmed to recognize as a flare, the missile went for the Russian flare, thinking it was an aircraft.
Poor manufacturing standards by the enemy again embarrassed the Americans during the 1991 Gulf War. The U.S. Army sent Patriot anti-aircraft missile systems, that had been modified to knock down Russian designed SCUD ballistic missiles, to defend Saudi Arabia. Iraq had hundreds of SCUDS and fired some of them into Saudi Arabia. The Patriot anti-missile capability worked, sort of. The Patriot was designed to detect and destroy an incoming SCUD. But the Iraqis had modified their SUCDs (by lengthening the missile to carry more fuel and have a longer range). This was done in a crude fashion and when the SCUD came down it often came apart so that the intact warhead was often accompanied by other parts of the missile (the engine and lengthened fuel tanks). This, in effect, provided decoys as the Patriot radar could not tell the difference between the SCUD warhead and other missile parts. Sometimes the Patriot missile shot down an empty fuel tank instead of the warhead. The Patriot anti-missile system developers had not paid attention to this problem and lives were lost as a result.
People, especially weapons developers, keep forgetting that you have to develop weapons for use against a foreign enemy, not other Americans. The truth comes out on the battlefield and by then it's too late for a lot of U.S. troops who get killed because of the willful ignorance.

I'm officially stuck on this gadget sleeve pattern. Every time I make one, I tweak something, which means even though I started taking photos for the pattern I really want to start over. And then I can't find a fabric/thread combo that shows up well on camera. And for whatever reason I decided to make a dozen different sizes, all of which have to tested. So this pattern is going to get scaled back and re-started one more time and if that doesn't work then that's it, I give up and I'll move on. I hate to do that because there is nothing construction-wise holding me back. I've made a ton of these and they always turn out great. I'm frustrated, but I'll get there. The photo editing alone is a ton of work and it gets discouraging to start over, that's all. Since I'm starting over, I might just skip this one and come back to it. I feel like I should work on one of the purses everyone is asking for anyway. It might take longer, but I might be less stressed about it?
I made this one right before we went out of town for the fourth. Total success. Loved using the Soft and Stable. I'll change a couple of the measurements on the zipper placement but otherwise it's perfect and I love it.
This was one of the first ones I made a while back. It was a tiny bit too small for my Kindle (sad too, because I only had one FQ of this fabric) so I use it for my embroidery floss. Even though I'm creating sizes for gadgets, they really are just perfect wide-mouth pouches since they open up all the way. Cute, huh?
Encouragement is appreciated. Thank you!
