PITTSBURGH, Pa. - Former Pittsburgh Power quarterback Bernard Morris came home once again with the Jacksonville Sharks and emerged victorious by a 61-35 score.
The Sharks started out with the football at their own 15 yard line but it was former Power quarterback Bernard Morris who found reigning AFL Ironman of the Year Jeff Hughley from 27 yards out to give his team a 7-0 lead.
Slowly, the Power responded with a couple of key fourth down conversions. A big reception by Perry Baker also kept the drive going. Naturally, it was a fourth down conversion where Jordan Jefferson found P.J. Berry for an 11 yard touchdown. Josh Czajkowski missed the extra point though and the Sharks held on to a 7-6 lead.
The Power appeared to solve the Sharks on the next drive forcing two penalties including an unsportsmanlike conduct, however on the very next play, Morris found Markee White on a 37 yard pass. The extra point was blocked.
On the second play of the drive, the Power had another miscommunication at the line of scrimmage and Jefferson fumbled the ball. Jerry Turner of the Sharks recovered the ball at the Power one yard line.
Two plays into that drive Dusty Bear ran the ball in from a yard out to extend the Sharks lead to 20-6.
On the next Power possession, Baker had a 31 yard catch and run but the team could not get the ball in the end zone, turning the ball over on downs.
Morris dropped back to pass in his own end zone but the pass was thrown to no one in the vicinity resulting in a safety. The Power kept possession and Jefferson ended the drive with a two yard run.
Towards the end of the first half, Jefferson left the field with a rib injury and he was replaced by backup quarterback Shane Austin and the offense stalled after a long pass was broken up by Micheaux Robinson.
Morris would then take care of things himself running the ball into the end zone from 12 yards out.
The Power then struck before the end of the half when Austin found Berry for a 31 yard gain out to the Sharks one. Kirby Griffin did the rest making the score 34-21 Sharks.
The Power defense was able to make a final stand in the half and with three seconds left, Austin had a chance to draw Pittsburgh closer but ultimately was sacked to end the half.
The offense flowed much better under Austin leading to a Berry two yard run cutting the score to 34-28.
The Sharks moved the ball and had a fourth down on their own one yard line. The Sharks were said to score but Stingley threw maybe the fastest challenge flag ever seen and was proven correct.
The Power looked to be in business moving the football down the field but then Austin was intercepted by Robinson. The score would be 42-28 after Morris ran the ball in from a yard out.
Jefferson came back in during the fourth quarter and quickly was intercepted resulting in a second run from Bear, this one from two yards out.
The Power offense did strike again though when Jefferson found Berry for a 21 yard touchdown.
The Sharks then used clock to before Morris found Jeron Harvey for the nail in the coffin. As if that was not enough, Jefferson threw another interception to Robinson who returned it 52 yards for the score as time expired.

Hey everyone,
I'm trying to make a program that, when compiled, the executable will know its name.
For example, the filename could be asdf.exe, and when I cout the name, it will show asdf.exe, or when its renamed to qwerty.exe, the file will output qwerty.exe.
Probably really simple,
I tried using __FILE__, but that just shows file's name that you're working on...

Currently I am getting my A+ certification, then I will go on to the Networking and server certs. However I am finding the programming area very interesting.
What kind of jobs require knowledge of c++

42,944 ways to enjoy music...
This product is currently not available for purchase
An all-valve, channel-switching amplifier with ultra-transparent effects loop and valve-driven reverb. This amplifier utilises a two stage clean channel with a four stage dirty channel. This model offers switchable output valves. This means you can swap the factory fitted EL34 output valves to 6L6s, KT88s or 6550s at the flick of a switch.
Limited Edition: For a limited time only, the Rockerverb 50C MKII is available in white.
Product Ref: 66429
The clean channel delivers a super rich clean tone with beautiful harmonic overtones. It is also a non-master channel, much like vintage Orange amps, so when the amp is cranked the power section will break up and deliver delicious classic British crunchy Rock/Blues tones.
The dirty channel on the Rockerverb is, to say the least, 'Dirty'. Four stages of unadulterated filth in fact, but it is by no means a one trick pony. Going from full gain and winding back shows a variety of classic Orange tones, whether you're looking for metal, fusion, blues, rock or even country the Rockerverb does not fall short.
Orange Amplification founder Cliff Cooper has provided amps to many artists over the years, starting with Fleetwood Mac and then a whole host of well known bands - Black Sabbath, T Rex, AC/DC, Bon Jovi, James Brown, BB King, U2 and ZZ Top just to name a few!
Constructed from ultra-high-conductivity copper and boasting gold-plated Neutrik connectors, this 20ft Orange instrument cable is more than just a distinctive orange.
Limited Edition Luxury Design
Available in a never-seen-before white Levant covering with traditional gold piping and gold capped handles for ultimate elegance.

Kohl Gallery features student photographer
In May 2011, the Kohl Gallery showcased the work of Karly Kolaja '11, a major in English and photojournalism. Her exhibition consisted of more than 30 captioned photographs and an essay entitled "The Essential Impulse of the Andes: Visual Literacy and the Culture of the Sacred Valley, Peru."
Kolaja's collection featured photographs documenting the tension between tourism and traditional life in Peru. Her excursion to the South American country was funded with the help of the Douglass Cater Society of Junior Fellows.
"The area I explored once encompassed the Sacred Valley—the religious, political and military seat of the Inca Empire," she wrote. "Now, it is recognized as the country's tourism capital, with some 800,000 visitors passing through its largest city, Cuzco, each year. I wondered if any vestiges of traditional Andean ways of life have survived this vacationing onslaught."
Kolaja's interest in photojournalism was largely self-motivated. Transferring to Washington College in the second semester of her first year, Kolaja wanted to combine her dual interests in photography and social justice and to follow in the footsteps of female photographers such as Dorothea Lange, Carol Guzy, and Washington College's own Constance Stuart Larrabee. To accomplish her goal, she created a Self-Designed Major in photojournalism under the direction of Professor Donald McColl in the Department of Art and Art History.
Karly's Senior Capstone Experience exhibition represented the final, impressive culmination of her diversified course of study.
"Ever since my childhood," she stated, "my cinematographer father has instilled a belief in me that photography is all about telling stories. I have come to agree with him…. [Photography] has the power to arouse sincere feelings. And it can effect real change."

I'm sure their hearts are in the right place, but I've never understood making blankets for NICU babies. Why not make blankets for underprivileged babies? NICU babies aren't charity cases. And for the record, yes, I had a NICU baby and politely declined the blanket. My baby had boxes of blankets knit for him by people who actually knew him. He didn't need the charity of people who felt sorry for him.

I have also had an NICU baby and I really appreciated the support from the public when it came to knitted caps and blankets. It was nice to know and feel the kindness through the work of volunteers and donations from the public.
Also, after spending five months in NICU with my baby, I can say that I noticed that not all babies in a NICU have the family support that is so important for them and yes some are charity cases.

Wow Beth, way to throw a wet blanket on this generous effort!
a resident of Foothill Place
on Dec 12, 2008 at 2:15 pm
Look I was a recipient of this effort once and all I'm saying is that being in the NICU is hard enough without being made to feel like a charity case as well. There are plenty of babies, both premature and fullterm, who could use a blanket.
Let's put it this way, who among us, after giving birth to any baby, wants someone to come up to you and say, "Poor thing. I felt so sorry for you and your poor baby that I made you a blanket."
I know that these people's hearts are in the right place. I'm not disputing that. I'm just saying that if you're really concerned about babies who are cold, or whatever, give your blankets to a shelter.
a resident of Another Pleasanton neighborhood
on Dec 12, 2008 at 2:29 pm
I did not see one comment in the article saying that they were giving blankets to babies in the NICU because they were "cold."
Rather, it appears to be an attempt to comfort those who are going through a terrible situation and the blankets are just one way to let the babies and their families know that there are people out there who care and would like to offer the blankets, perhaps, for emotional support.
Great job and kudos to Blankets for Babies!

I think Beth makes a thoughtful point.
Perhaps this is a resource that can be better utilized.
It is worth considering.
a resident of Foothill Place
on Dec 12, 2008 at 4:42 pm
Anna, thank you for understanding what I am trying to say.
Don't these organizations want to know what NICU parents think of the blankets? I can promise you I'm not alone. And I can't understand why a discussion of the potential emotional downside of these blankets is undesirable.
For me, our months in the NICU were hard enough without being given a blanket, hat and booties and realizing that people I didn't know were pitying my family. And really, since NICU babies as a group don't necessarily need blankets, that's really the backbone emotion behind the effort. Pity.
There are many worthwhile places to put this effort. Underprivileged babies, whether fullterm or premature. Babies left at Safe Haven Shelters. Babies placed in foster homes. Babies who NEED blankets.
a resident of Castlewood
on Dec 12, 2008 at 6:11 pm
It seems like the intent of these kind people is being projected. How about their feelings? Imagine taking the initiative to do something kind and being rejected. I respect your feelings Beth, but no need to hurt the feelings of nice people. People have soft spots for all kinds of things -- I think it is admirable that they give their time for others. Please consider their intent. A simple "no thanks" would have been nice.

Is it cool or what to give blankets and booties to babies...HOORAY!
a resident of Pleasanton Valley
on Dec 13, 2008 at 12:58 am
My quilt guild makes these blankets too. We understand that they are placed over the little unit the baby is kept in (sorry I don't know the name) and it's used more to desterilize the medical/technical atmosphere and make it more homey and warm feeling for the tiny angel and their stresed out families.

A family connection coaxed Rick Seidman into the folds of the lighting industry in 1989. Nineteen years later, the 42-year-old President and CEO of Quoizel Inc., and the recipient of Residential Lighting's 2008 Industry Leadership Award (chosen by popular vote of our readers), is still the first to credit family -- both real and professional -- as an integral part of his success.
Seidman, a finance grad from the State University of New York at Buffalo, has spent his career working for the family-owned Quoizel, climbing the ladder from entry-level salesman to company executive. Along the way, he also served as a Regional Sales Manager, National Sales Manager and Vice President of Sales & Marketing.
"I have truly always loved working for the Phillipses," Seidman says of the dynasty that owns Quoizel. "I've loved that there's no bureaucracy or hierarchy. Even when I was just starting out, if I had a great idea, I could bring it up at a meeting and be listened to and be involved in all aspects of the business."
The Phillips family thinks just as highly of Seidman. For the first time in 2007, they sought outside leadership for the company, resting their sights on Seidman.
"I've never met anyone like Rick," says Ira Phillips, who now serves as Chairman of Quoizel's Board of Directors. "He first came in for an interview when he was in his 20s, and I was very impressed by him immediately. I hired him for less money than he was making [at the time] but [told him] within a year he could be making double. He took the job, and less than a year later not only was he making double, but he'd become our top salesman."
Seidman, a self-proclaimed morning person, thrives on the buzz of life.
"I'm very high-energy," he explains. "I get up early, and I bounce out of bed. I go the gym, and I shave and shower before a 7 a.m. meeting. I love a busy day, and I love that my job offers me a different challenge every day."
His ability to multitask is almost as impressive as his desire to be involved with the industry and advance its agenda. In addition to running a 250-employee company, Seidman is a champion for the industry. He's been on the board of Dallas Market Center for almost two years, and has chaired multiple committees for the American Lighting Association.
"He has an unbounded capacity for energy, and I think that's very critical in this time, with what's going on with the economic conditions of the world," says Bill Winsor, President and CEO of Dallas Market Center. "He also has the ability to ask 'what if' without fear. 'What if we did it this way? That way?' He's never complacent; he never wants to do things just because that's the way they've always been done. He wants to reshape the future."
Customers also appreciate Seidman's forward-thinking view of the industry.
"He's very strategic," says Seattle Lighting COO Dave McKee, who has worked with Seidman for about eight years. "He always has the wheels turning [and] is always looking at where the industry is going and at the needs of the end-user. He's very open to ideas."
Carol Gressett of Carol's Lighting in Houston, TX, who has known Seidman for the duration of his career, thinks of him as a great innovator who respects the unique perspective of showrooms.
"Over the years, he's been really instrumental in keeping up with the times and bringing in various dealers to pick our brains, and he really listens to our ideas," she says. "He's spent a lot of time in showrooms over the years and understands different facets of our business."
Seidman's career shouldn't be measured in length but by accomplishment, says Dick Upton, President of the American Lighting Associaton. "He's young, but [he is] a true and total picture of a businessman," Upton says. "I give him great credit for working with people. He's comfortable and confident making collegial decisions. He listens to everyone and to all opinions. He's a great visionary who doesn't just stand up solo, as the boss, but has the great skill of getting everyone on the same page."
Part of being the boss is following through on commitments to employees, something Seidman takes very seriously—so seriously that he recently spent a night on the roof of the Quoizel headquarters in Charleston, SC.
"I challenged our employees to raise enough money to build a Habitat for Humanity house, and in a few months our employees raised almost enough to build two homes," he says.
The big results meant he had to pay up on his big promise of a night under the stars.
While his ever-growing resume is impressive enough, what really stands out to many in the industry is Seidman's ability to balance work and family.
"We all try to have a life while making a living," Phillips says. "It's a hard thing to do, and not everyone can do it. Rick does it very, very well."
Seidman's college-sweetheart-turned-wife Karen and daughters Stefanie, 16, and Nicki, 13, are the center of his world.
"For as much as I work and travel, there's no place I'd rather be than in the backyard with my kids," he says.
Quoizel Director of Marketing Bobbie Pearsall nominated Seidman for the Residential Lighting award and is quick to point out that her boss' family priorities are part of what makes his character stand out.
"His family is number one," she says. "You don't often hear that about an executive of a company, but he means it, and he lives it. He has this unbelievable balance of home life and work life."
Even in the office, Seidman's gregarious and warm nature shines.
"He has the utmost respect from everyone who works with him," Pearsall says. "He doesn't talk down to people; he talks to people. There are no levels with him, no 'I'm the executive and you're not'. He takes the time to talk with everyone, and he's interested in everybody. He treats us like family."

McIlroys birdie stretch holds off Roses record 62
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates Rory McIlroy made five consecutive birdies down the stretch to overtake Justin Rose and win the Dubai World Championship on Sunday, ending an historic year in which the 23-year-old Northern Irishman won the PGA Championship and the European and PGA tour money titles.
The top-ranked McIlroy recovered from early putting woes to finish at 6-under 66 for a total 23-under 265 at the season-ending tournament. Rose, who was tied for seventh after three rounds, surged down the stretch into contention after shooting a course-record 62 that included an eagle and eight birdies.
I just wanted to finish the season the way I thought I deserved to finish the season, McIlroy said after holing a birdie on 18 and raising his arms in the air in celebration.
Second-ranked Luke Donald (71) was tied for third with Charl Schwartzel (68) of South Africa. Louis Oosthuizen (69) was another shot back in fifth.
The day was supposed to be a duel between McIlroy and Donald, who were tied for the lead after the third round. The Englishman grabbed an early two-shot lead when McIlroy bogeyed the first and Donald birdied the second.
But then Donald three-putted the third to end a streak of 102 holes on the Earth Course without a bogey to give McIlroy a chance.
In the meantime, Rose was climbing up the leaderboard to challenge, taking a brief lead before finishing second.

Vettel overcomes crash to win third F1 championship
SAO PAULO Sebastian Vettel captured his third consecutive Formula One championship title Sunday, overcoming a first-lap crash to finish sixth in a Brazilian Grand Prix won by Jenson Button under pouring rain.
Its difficult to find the right words, said Vettel, who at 25 became the youngest three-time champion in F1.
Its unbelievable. Im still full of adrenaline. It was an incredible race.
Seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher, F1s most successful driver, finished seventh in his final race after 19 seasons.
Vettel appeared in big trouble after he was bumped shortly after the first lap and spun. He dropped to last place before he could turn his car around and start a difficult pursuit. But he steadily worked his way up the field and did what he had to holding off Ferraris Fernando Alonso, the only other driver contending for the title.
Vettel is the first driver with three titles in a row since Schumacher won five consecutive from 2000-04. The only other driver to win at least three consecutive championships was Juan Manuel Fangio from 1954-57.
Alonsos Ferrari teammate Felipe Massa was third in front of his home crowd.

Auburns fall from grace costs Chizik his job
AUBURN, Ala. Auburn coach Gene Chizik was fired Sunday after the Tigers rapid fall from a national champion to a winless Southeastern Conference season.
The Tigers endured the worst slide within two years of winning a national championship of any team since the Associated Press poll started in 1936 and hadnt lost this many games since going 0-10 in 1950.
The decision came 17 months after Auburn gave Chizik a contract worth some $3.5 million annually through 2015 with a hefty buyout.
The players were informed in a team meeting Sunday.
Im extremely disappointed with the way this season turned out, and I apologize to the Auburn family and our team for what they have had to endure, Chizik said.
The Tigers went from 14-0 with a perfect SEC record with Cam Newton leading the offense in 2010 to 3-9 and 0-8, losing their final three league games by a combined 150-21.
Auburn was blown out by Texas A&M (63-21) and Georgia (38-0), but the finale was even more painful for Tigers fans.

Ankle problem will keep Ethier out a few days
By Austin Laymance / MLB.com
LOS ANGELES -- Dodgers outfielder Andre Ethier won't play for at least a couple of days because of a left ankle issue, manager Don Mattingly said Saturday.
"It will be at least a couple days before we use him," Mattingly said. "We'll see where he goes. He's pretty sore today. We're going to be cautious with him."
Ethier came out of Friday's game against the Giants in the eighth inning after aggravating his ankle, which he said has bothered him since twisting it during a series in Colorado at the beginning of the month. He walked out of the clubhouse Saturday night with a protective boot over his left foot.
Mattingly said Ethier feels discomfort in his ankle when he runs curves or makes turns, but not when he runs straight.
"It's kind of like shin splints on the outside of the bone," the manager said. "Instead of being in the front, it's on the outside of that left ankle. When he makes a turn or a cut, that makes him sore."
Mattingly said Ethier had an MRI exam and X-ray on his ankle this week, which did not reveal any structural damage, and he is confident the outfielder will be able to play in the postseason.
The Dodgers have a comfortable lead over the D-backs in the National League West and could clinch the division as early as Sunday, so the club does not need to rush Ethier back to the field.
"We're going to rest him to get him right," Mattingly said.
The Dodgers promoted outfielders Alex Castellanos and Nick Buss from Triple-A before Saturday's game in a roster move Mattingly described as "protection" while Ethier is out. To make room for Buss on the 40-man roster, the Dodgers transferred reliever Jose Dominguez to the 60-day disabled list. Dominguez had been on the 15-day DL since July 23 with a left quad strain.
Hanley wants to return quickly from nerve issue
LOS ANGELES -- Hanley Ramirez thought he could continue to play through the discomfort he'd been feeling in his left hamstring for several weeks, but it reached a tipping point Thursday night, the shortstop said.
Ramirez knew the tingling sensation in his hamstring was a result of a nerve issue in his lower back that he's dealt with for two years. But after playing six innings Thursday, something changed and Ramirez decided to tell the Dodgers' athletic training staff what was going on.
"I knew what it was," Ramirez said Saturday. "I knew it was a nerve. I was feeling a little bit of tingling down my legs. I kept playing. I just got to the point that I told myself that I have to tell them what was going on and see if we can fix it for the playoffs. I don't want to be like this by that time."
Ramirez is out through the weekend at least after having two cortisone injections in his lower back Friday. For now, the discomfort in his hamstring has subsided.
"I'm good," Ramirez said. "I'm just sore where they put that needle. Everything else feels good. I'm just waiting for the soreness to go away and we'll see after that. I thought it was going to be worse. ... The only reason we did [the injection] was because I know I want to be on the field by playoff time."
While Ramirez missed two weeks in 2011 with a similar issue, he said that injury was "way worse." If the discomfort in his hamstring returns again this season, Ramirez said he would try to play through it and avoid another injection.
"We'll see how long it lasts and see how I feel," he said. "I don't think I'm going to need another one because I don't want to miss a couple days. We don't need that. I'm just going to keep going. Like I told them, if it would have been the playoffs I would have been on the field."
The Dodgers could clinch the National League West by Sunday and Ramirez wants to play as much as possible over the final two weeks of the regular season to stay sharp for October.
"I want to keep playing," he said. "We haven't reached our goal yet. ... I'm not the same player when I get too many days off, like four or five. It takes me a little while to get my timing back. That's why they would try to give me a day off and I would tell them no. I'm a gamer."
Capuano still sore, will back off throwing
LOS ANGELES -- Chris Capuano experienced discomfort in his left groin during a bullpen session Friday, and the Dodgers don't have plans for the left-hander to throw off a mound again at this point, according to manager Don Mattingly.
"He was a little sore," Mattingly said before Saturday's game against the Giants. "He felt it a little bit towards the end as he tried to do a little extra. We're going to slow him down a little bit."
Capauno was forced from his start last Friday in Cincinnati in the second inning with what the Dodgers called a mild groin strain. He's also missed time this season with a strained left calf and a strained latissimus muscle in his left shoulder.
Kemp has 'good day,' runs bases in Arizona
LOS ANGELES -- Matt Kemp progressed to running the bases Saturday, one of the final steps for the Dodgers outfielder as he works his way back from a sprained left ankle and tight right hamstring.
"Matt had a good day today," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said before Saturday's game against the Giants. "He ran the bases. He had 13 at-bats, or something like that. He's feeling good. We've been down this road a number of times. As we get to the bases, we're starting to get close to playing."
Kemp has been working out at the Dodgers' Spring Training facility at Camelback Ranch-Glendale for over a week. The last time he was close to coming off the disabled list, Mattingly said Kemp felt tightness in the same hamstring that sidelined him for nearly a month earlier in the season.
The Dodgers' medical staff will have a chance to evaluate Kemp on Monday, when the club opens a 10-game road trip in Arizona.
"If he's ready to roll, then we'll do something," Mattingly said.
But Mattingly said the club has not discussed activating Kemp from the disabled list and would wait for that conversation until seeing him Monday. The Dodgers have an opening for Kemp in their crowded outfield with Andre Ethier dealing with a left ankle issue.
"Andre is banged up, so it's an opportunity to play without having to juggle," Mattingly said. "As soon as Matt gets cleared to play, Matt's going to play."
Kemp has not played in the Majors since July 21, when he sprained his ankle in an awkward slide at the plate in Washington. He's been limited to just 62 games this season and has been on the disabled list three times.

Baker, Butler late entries as A's scratch starter
By Master Tesfatsion / MLB.com
ARLINGTON -- Rangers manager Ron Washington had to readjust his lineup right before Sunday's game against the A's. Righty Jarrod Parker was scratched due to an illness and lefty Tommy Milone started for Oakland. Washington used Jim Adduci at first base, Jeff Baker as the designated hitter, Joey Butler in left field and Craig Gentry in center field.
Lance Berkman was scheduled to start as the DH against Parker, but Washington made the change with a left-hander on the mound. The switch-hitter has been used exclusively from the left side due to a left hip injury he suffered in July. Leonys Martin was slated to start in center, but he was removed from the lineup right before first pitch.
"We'll see what happens," Washington said.
Adduci made his first career start at first base, giving Mitch Moreland the day off. Adduci has started four games since he was called up in September -- three in left field and one as the designated hitter. Moreland was available to pinch-hit, but he wasn't in the lineup due to an 0-for-21 slump in his last nine games, including 14 strikeouts. He went 0-for-3 with a walk and three strikeouts Saturday.
"It looked like he was trying too hard, so I gave him a breather," Washington said.
Darvish, A's differ on 'head games' delay
ARLINGTON -- Rangers ace Yu Darvish and the A's have contrasting stories on what started a brief delay in the sixth inning of Saturday's game.
Darvish was caught on the broadcast uttering, "Fastball," on a 2-2 pitch to Josh Donaldson to lead off the inning, but threw a curveball. Despite Darvish's attempt to throw him off, Donaldson managed to get a single on the pitch.
"If he wants to do that, fine, it doesn't bother me," Donaldson told the San Francisco Chronicle on Saturday. "I kind of like the head games."
Coco Crisp, however, wasn't pleased and began yelling from the dugout right before Jed Lowrie's at-bat. He had to be restrained from the dugout as play temporarily stopped. Crisp did not comment on the situation.
"I think there was a part in the game where there was a lot of excitement between both of us," Darvish said Saturday. "I heard a lot of people saying something from the Oakland dugout, I said to myself, 'It's just the heat of the moment, what's at stake?' I looked at it as maybe they were trying to make me lose my concentration. But I just understood that [and] I worked to maintain my focus and pitch my game."
Darvish and Donaldson also played mind games in the first inning. Donaldson swung threw a 90-mph cutter to bring the count full in an at-bat that started with three straight balls. Just before the sixth pitch, Donaldson stepped closer to the plate just as Darvish was set. He stepped off the rubber after Donaldson made the adjustment, then walked him on a 94-mph fastball. Donaldson scored on Brandon Moss' double to account for the only run in the game.
Tepesch may start Tuesday, or come out of 'pen
ARLINGTON -- Nick Tepesch remains Tuesday's tentative starter against the Rays, but Rangers manager Ron Washington expects the game to be a collective effort from his bullpen. Whether Tepesch remains as the starter will depend on how the 'pen is used before Tuesday's game.
"There will be guys out of the bullpen piggybacking," Washington said.
Tepesch said he hasn't been officially told he will start, but he's prepared to start or come out of the bullpen. He has made one start and two relief outings since he returned from the disabled list in September with right elbow inflammation. He struggled in his last outing Friday, however, allowing two runs in an inning against the A's.
"Two rehab games I had and the two appearance I had before that I thought were good," Tepesch said. "The other day, I just wasn't commanding my pitches and wasn't throwing strikes."
Tepesch said he tries to hold the same mindset whether he's starting or coming in relief. Despite the differences, he said the goal is the same.
"The spots I've come into the game is kind of, I don't want to say you treat it like a starter, but you try to get as many innings as you can," Tepesch said.
Washington's focus on winning, not standings
ARLINGTON -- Rangers manager Ron Washington isn't concerned about the A's widening the margin in the American League West race, nor is he worried about six teams fighting for two Wild Card spots.
Washington only cared about one thing Sunday.
"Right now we're just trying to win a ballgame," Washington said. "I'm not thinking about no playoffs, I'm not thinking about anything. We're just trying to win a ballgame. I just want to win a ballgame. Can you help me?"
The Rangers haven't executed over five games against the Pirates and A's leading up to the final contest in the homestand. They have yet to take a lead all week, dropping five straight games entering the series finale against the A's. Washington never imagine his club would get in a rut in the final month of the season.
"We've got guys out there that have delivered in RBI situations before, we just haven't been able to do it," Washington said. "It's not us, but we've just got to keep fighting."
Worth noting
• Washington planned to use closer Joe Nathan in Sunday's game. He's only made two appearances this month.
• The Rangers play a four-game series against the Rays in St. Petersburg starting Monday. Washington on dealing with the turf: "We'll probably go out early, get some early work to get used to the field. It's no different than it's been in the past. We know all the kinks and premises in that place, playoff games we've played there. So we know all of that, but it's still turf. We'll get out there and get used to the light."
• Entering Sunday, the Rangers had been outscored, 23-17, on this homestand, but all five losses were within two runs.

I like the small footprint of XFCE but I just can't continue using it until I figure out a way to enable screen locking. I've looked for days now to find a *simple* way to do that: installing gnome-screensaver, etc, but it simply doesn't work.
Could someone point me to a simple mechanism for making this happen?
There is a panel action which allows you to do just that (and log out). It is called action buttons on my install and I believe it comes withe xfce-session.
Thanks for the quick reply.
I saw that panel action but it does nothing at all. I'm very puzzled by that. I even saw that there's supposed to be a panel addon at http://goodies.xfce.org/projects/panel-plugins that does the same thing but there's nothing there that I can find. There's no timeout configuration either that I can find.
This is such a simple thing that I'm having *very* hard time understanding why it doesn't work. I'm either missing something incredibly obvious or there's a fundamental problem with my install.
It may be worth pointing out (and perhaps posting on another forum) that I've installed xfce via yum on a CentOS 5 appliance from Groundwork (a Nagios based network monitor.) The default interface for that is twm, and it's just not usable, hence the desire (need?) for xfce. There are apparently issues with installing GNOME on top of Groundwork or I'd pursue that as an alternative, although the small footprint of xfce is seductively appealing.
Ctrl-Alt-Delete locks the screen!
That doesn't work either - it's running in a VM
It's all the more problematic since the normal means of connecting to the VM is with VNC. Ctl-Alt-Del is ignored. The only other option is to log out. That terminates the VNC session which cannot be started again w/o logging on via SSH and restarting the vncserver.
As I said, I've tried nearly everything that I've seen and it is simply broken. It would be *wonderful* if there were documentation on how to make it work (there's not that I've found) or some guru who can give some direction.
What would I do is:
Applications/Settings Manager/Keyboard/Shortcuts
create a shortcut for xflock4
keycode to your liking, e.g. Win+lowercase L
xflock4 supports xscreensaver, gnome-screensaver and falls back to xlock if no screensaver daemon is running.
Indeed, if you don't like the burden of a screensaver daemon on your appliance, ditch xflock4 and call e.g. "xlock -mode clock" from above directly.
PS: I think you should "deamonize" your vnc-server.
I haven't yet had a chance to test the first part of your suggestion, but I did implement your PS on my machines at home last night and I like it, a lot. While not a complete solution to my problem, it's a big improvement.
Hopefully I can check the other sometime today.

text: It is aeronautics that gives us the capital G for the multiples of the 9.81 m/ss acceleration or its associated force, regardless of the writing conventions of national or international systems of units. That is, a jet fighter's turning ability is more often described as +7G than as +7g. But conventions vary. The "gold standard" Aviation Week & Space Technology is consistent in its use of lowercase in expressions such as "g-forces" or "+2.2g", while otherwise observing the Imperial system of units and its writing practices (no fear of confusing it with "gram", then!). But even AW&ST speaks of G-LOC (acceleration-induced loss of consciousness), which certain medical magazines in turn call g-LOC. Basically any "popular" publication on aeronautics is going to go with the uppercase G for describing accelerations... I honestly can't remember - has Star Trek ever used "gee" for acceleration in any context? Timo Saloniemi

Justin Bieber's Stupid Grammy Nomination Acceptance Speech
Tonight, the nominations for next year's Grammy Awards were announced live during an hourlong concert on CBS. Unsurprisingly, Justin Bieber was nominated for Best New Artist. Somewhat surprisingly, Bieber reacted by giving a weird, seemingly pre-written acceptance speech. Watch inside.
[There was a video here]
Fun fact: One day shy of a year ago, I wrote my first ever post for Gawker.TV about last year's Grammy Nominations Concert!

Today I upgraded my TP600X to kernel 2.2.16 and while I was at it, I also upgraded frĺn pcmcia-cs 3.1.14 to 3.1.15. Since I'm using a WaveLAN (Silver 11Mbps), I also added the wavelan2_cs driver, like I had in 3.1.14.
When I inserted the WaveLAN card, cardctl promptly died, and checking the logs, this is what I found:
Jun 8 13:23:17 foobar cardmgr[427]: initializing socket 0 Jun 8 13:23:17 foobar cardmgr[427]: socket 0: Lucent Technologies WaveLAN/IEEE Jun 8 13:23:17 foobar kernel: cs: memory probe 0xa0000000-0xa0ffffff: excluding 0xa0000000-0xa0ffffff Jun 8 13:23:17 foobar kernel: cs: memory probe 0x60000000-0x60ffffff: clean.

It seems it tried to load two different drivers. I then configured, compiled and installed from the 3.1.14 sources, and 3.1.14 + wavelan2_cs works fine under 2.2.16. Something must have been introduced in 3.1.15 that either breaks with wavelan2_cs, or with kernel 2.2.16.

Regarding the empty train station erected at great public expense, what conditions did the City of Mountain View add to make a lease so difficult. A small combo snack shack/bike shop/coffee shop or newspaper stand would all make sense here. As a former Mt. View resident, I fail to understand why such valuable real estate stands empty?
What's the catch? I don't get it.

What about selling legalized marijuana out of the old, new train station? How much time did the council burn up last year talking about that? It could also double as the city's new teen center. Maybe the city could rent it to Google. But what ever happens, don't put any public rest rooms there. That's the last thing a train station needs. Better off relieving yourself in public.
