2010 was in some ways a great year. 2011 promises to be even better. »
Relatively Speaking, It's Still Cold
Most people, I think, have caught on to the fact that global warming hysteria is a politically-inspired hoax. In that regard, it is helpful to put current temperatures into historical context. At Watts Up With That? Don Easterbrook charts temperatures since the last Ice Age, approximately 10,000 years, based on Greenland ice cores. This is his description of the methodology: One of the best ways to look at long-term temperatures »
Just For Fun
I'm home tonight, supervising a New Year's Eve party with a group of 14-year-old girls. Since they do not require my constant presence–to put it mildly–there is plenty of time to surf the web. I came across this video at the Sun. It isn't embeddable, so you have to follow the link to watch it; this is a screen shot: The video is of a guy named Jeb Corliss, who »
The Real War On Christmas, Part II
I wrote here about the real war on Christmas, and Christians, around the world. A postscript, comic and chilling at the same time, comes from the Maldives: "Restaurant apologises after police called over 'festive' Christmas menu." Management at the Jade Bistro cafe on Boduthakurufaanu Magu have apologised to any Maldivians that may have been offended by a "festive" lunch promotion offered over the Christmas period that has since attracted protests »
An optimistic forecast for the new year
Economist Irwin Stelzer finds that the U.S. economy is in much better shape at the end of 2010 than it was 12 months ago. 2010 was a banner year for corporate profits. As Stelzer observes, "third-quarter pre-tax profits topped their 2006 peak, as firms continued the cost cutting that has seen unit labor costs declining at a rate not seen for 50 year." The problem, of course, has been the »
Uncommon Knowledge with Milton Friedman
Last week we posted Peter Robinson's interview with Milton Friedman. Given our format, the interview rotated off the site after a few days. We'll have another installment of Uncommon Knowledge next week. In the meantime, here is the interview with Milton Friedman, once more once, after a brief introduction. To celebrate the holidays, Uncommon Knowledge brings us a blast from the past. Host Peter Robinson rides in on a motorcycle »
My Kind of Conservative
I'm a big tent conservative, and I think that economic, national security and social conservatism go together like ham, eggs and hash browns. So when I see ostensible conservatives whose first priority is to attack or distance themselves from fellow conservatives, I am not impressed. Recently, there has been controversy over this year's CPAC, because certain social conservative groups have withdrawn from the event rather than share it with GOProud, »
Catching On to the Entitlement Disaster
The Associated Press catches up, belatedly, with some of the basic problems with our welfare state. Those now retiring will find that for them, Social Security was a terrible deal. Medicare, on the other hand, will continue to bleed our children dry: You paid your Medicare taxes all those years and think you deserve your money's worth: full benefits after you retire. Nearly three out of five people say in »
Time to Rethink Public Employee Unions
In New York, sanitation workers have reported that their union ordered them to sabotage the city's blizzard cleanup efforts. If that claim is true, the union may be responsible for at least one death. Mayor Bloomberg has vowed to investigate. It remains to be seen what will come of this particular controversy, but the broader point is coming into ever-clearer focus: it is time to ban public employee unions. For »
That Pesky Constitution
Every now and then, someone says something that is astonishingly stupid, but also revealing. That description applies, I think, to this interview on MSNBC–the Democratic Party's house network–with Ezra Klein, a liberal blogger employed by the Washington Post. Klein expresses the view that the Constitution is "confusing" and really can't be understood because it was written more than 100 years ago. Therefore, he suggests, it means whatever a particular reader »
Barack Obama and the paradox of progressivism
I encourage those of our readers with a philosophical bent to take the time this weekend (it will require about an hour) to read Peter Berkowitz's excellent essay "Obama and the State of Progressivism, 2011." Peter links the political difficulties President Obama has encountered to the "paradox of American progressivism, old and new," a paradox "rooted in the gap between its professed devotion to democracy. . .and its belief that »

The late 1970s want their American foreign policy back, Part Two
A few days ago, we noted the strange fact that the Obama administration is pleased with Colombia's new president for cozying up to Hugo Chavez, the long-time sworn enemy of Colombia.

Another Attack On Cartoon Paper Thwarted
An "imminent" terrorist attack on the Jyllands-Posten newspaper in Copenhagen was stopped today, when police arrested five radical Muslims who, authorities say, intended to carry out a Mumbai-type attack on the newspaper's headquarters by the weekend. The plot was multinational, as three of those arrested are residents of Sweden and the terrorists are originally from Tunisia, Lebanon and Iraq. The suspects are reported to have links to one or more »

Watson proving to be an asset out of 'pen
By George Von Benko / Special to MLB.com
"I have been impressed by Tony's demeanor," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. "Tony has just taken [care of] business one day at a time. He prepares extremely well and is very conscientious in his preparation. He has self confidence and demands a lot of himself. He's another great guy as far as using eyes and ears. His stuff has been good and clean, and his confidence is in a very good place right now."
Watson is pleased that Hurdle has shown the willingness to use him in some tough situations.
"I'm just ready whenever he calls down there," Watson said. "No matter what the situation, you just always got to be ready. You might come in with some stuff going on, some traffic on the bases or you might come in for a clean inning, but you've always got to be in the zone down there and ready to go."
Watson's confidence has grown with his success out of the bullpen.
"You always want to have confidence in what you are doing out there on the mound," Watson said. "I know it's still early in the season -- we're just getting kicked off here and it's a long season here. Hopefully, I can have continued success."
Burnett makes Pirates history in stellar debut
PITTSBURGH -- Right-hander A.J. Burnett's stellar Pirates debut in Saturday's 2-0 win over St. Louis showed up on the radar for the Elias Sports Bureau.
Burnett tossed seven scoreless innings, allowing three hits and recording seven strikeouts. In doing so, Burnett became the first Pirates hurler since 1907 to pitch at least seven scoreless innings and record at least seven strikeouts in his first start with the club.
The only other Pirates pitcher to accomplish the feat was right-hander Nick Maddox, who tossed a shutout and notched 11 strikeouts in his Major League debut in 1907.
"That's an interesting stat," Burnett said. "It was an interesting first start. The play by Clint Barmes in the first inning really settled me down, and I started getting into a rhythm, but it's just the first one. We've got a ways to go."
Worth noting
Right-hander Kevin Correia, who was scratched from his start Saturday with discomfort in his left side, will get the call Monday against the Rockies. Correia insists that his side is fine.
Leadoff hitter Alex Presley has hit safely in a career-best seven straight games entering Sunday.
In their first 14 games, the Pirates have yet to score or allow more than five runs in any contest. The 1965 Pirates hold the National League record for beginning a season with 16 straight games in which they did not score or allow more than five runs. The 1965 Pirates went 6-10 in their first 16 games en route to a 90-72 record.
The Bucs posted their first shutout of the season on Saturday night. The staff had 11 shutouts last season.

Keith Hernandez Is Self-Aware
Homeboy makes it so easy! Here is Keith, in a proverbial nutshell.
Despite yesterday's less than thrilling loss (eh, it happens), the past few days of Mets-related TV coverage have had so many Pick Me Up Some Mets moments, that I'm running a bit behind. My 2 favorites will include videos, worry not 🙂
So stay tuned, lovely people.


text: Folks, I have some fairly basic questions about upgrading/expanding a existing (less than 1 year old) Linux cluster with additional nodes. The cluster is used in a University environment for both serial and parallel processing. Is it better to buy older cpus that are the same as on the existing nodes to keep the cluster homogenous so that its easier to administer and use? Or does it make more sense to buy newer (and possibly fewer) cpus with greater compute capacity at the expense of having a uniform set of nodes in the cluster? If the only alternative is to buy newer nodes, should they be used as a separate cluster rather than combining them with an existing cluster of older nodes? Thanks in advance for any advice you may have.

text: 2nd 8 weeks Since we can't escape from politics in our lives, we might as well learn to appreciate and enjoy them. In this class we explore American politics: its rules (the Constitution), its institutions (the Presidency, Congress, the courts, and the bureaucracy), its participants (individual voters, parties, interests groups, and the media) and its product (social, economic and foreign policy). We not only cover the facts of American politics, we also focus on becoming informed critics and intelligent consumers of the daily barrage of news from the media. With a major presidential election going on, we will have a much heavier focus than usual on current events! This course has two lectures a week and a discussion section. Grades will be based on four exams and in class exercises. Optional feature-length movies are shown at night for extra credit. Readings average 50 pages of textbook per week, and a current events articles found online. This course is designed for non-majors, beginning majors, and people considering becoming political science majors.

Whether it's Phil Jackson, Jerry Sloan, Kevin Pritchard or Masaj Ujiri, this is a few moves they should do
1) Hire a new coach - Who's available, Phil Jackson, Jerry Sloan, most likely not. Doc Rivers (maybe a few weeks ago but he decided to resign with the Celtics). Brian Shaw? Steve Van Gundy? Maurice Cheeks? Nate McMillan? Mike Malone? Anyone but Kevin O'neil, Sam Mitchell or Dwayne Casey again.
2) Find a new home for Bargnani - This must be addressed in the offseason as in Bargs stated after the last game of the Raptors that he wish to play for a new team so why not grant his wish. Possible suitors
Chicago - Boozer + Nate Robinson for Bargs + Ross + Lucas III
Utah - Millsap + Watsons for Bargs + Fields
LA - Gasol + Nash for Bargs + Ross + Telfair??
MIN - K.Love for Bargs + DeRozan + Future 1st rounder
3) Buy a pick perhaps or trade one of our player for a late first rounder and grab a backup PG or C.
PG: CJ McCollom, Myck Kabongo, Nate Wolters
C: Rudy Golbert, Gorgui Dieng, Jeff Withey
4) Buy a second round pick and grab a backup SF or a third stringer SG
SF: Michael Snaer, Deshaun Thomas, Livio Jean Charles

Pirates beat Giants 4-1, break 5-game losing skid
Pirates beat Giants 4-1, break 5-game losing skidPittsburgh Pirates' Alex Presley swings for an RBI single off San Francisco Giants' Ryan Vogelsong during the second inning of a baseball game Sunday, April 15, 2012, in San Francisco. (AP Photo/Ben Margot)
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) Kevin Correia tossed almost as many pitches in a quick and efficient start as the bullpen did over the final three exhausting innings.
These days, nothing comes easy for the Pittsburgh Pirates - especially wins.
Correia pitched six effective innings, Garrett Jones homered and the Pirates ended a five-game losing skid with a 4-1 victory over the San Francisco Giants on Sunday. Correia threw 91 pitches - only 29 balls - before three relievers labored with 76 pitches in a 3-hour, 15-minute game that seemed over so much sooner.
''That's probably not the way you draw it up,'' Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle said.
After a slow start, the Pirates will take a win any way they can.
Jones' first homer of the season and Alex Presley's RBI single during a two-run second inning off Ryan Vogelsong (0-1) supplied all the power Pittsburgh needed.
Correia (1-0) allowed one run and three hits. He was only nicked by Emmanuel Burriss' RBI grounder in the fifth to snap San Francisco's three-game winning streak.
''It's a big one. But any win at this point is big,'' Correia said.
Two relievers pitched scoreless ball before Joel Hanrahan worked out of a jam in the ninth for his first save this season.
Hanrahan walked two of the first three batters to bring the potential tying run to the plate with one out. He then got Gregor Blanco and Angel Pagan on flyballs to ensure Pittsburgh avoided a second straight series sweep.
The victory also handed San Francisco a loss heading into Monday's marquee series against Philadelphia in a rematch of the 2010 NL championship series.
''It was a strange day. We just never got it going there and we seemed out of sorts,'' Giants manager Bruce Bochy said.
The Giants lost more than a game Sunday. All-Star closer Brian Wilson confirmed he's likely headed for season-ending surgery because of structural damage in his right elbow.
Wilson was officially placed on the 15-day disabled list, clearing space for Vogelsong to come off the DL and make his first start of the year. After the journeyman's breakout season at age 34 last summer, Vogelsong returned ready to recapture his touch.
Instead, Pittsburgh quickly reminded him how difficult an encore might be.
Jones pulled a solo home run over the right-field arcade and Presley lined a two-out single in the second to give Pittsburgh a 2-0 lead.
Vogelsong settled into a rhythm following the shaky start, facing the minimum over the next 3 2-3 innings. The defense also backed his effort, highlighted by third baseman Pablo Sandoval's diving, over-the-shoulder catch in the top of his glove on Jones' foul pop in the sixth.
Vogelsong allowed two runs on four hits in 6 2-3 innings. He struck out seven and walked three.
''Just inconsistent,'' Vogelsong said. ''Fighting myself all day just trying to find some kind of rhythm. I was kind of in-and-out today with it.''
San Francisco's hitters struggled to be as effective.
Brandon Belt hit a line drive leading off the fifth that tipped off the top of the glove of a leaping Jones at first and trickled into the outfield. Belt barely beat out Jose Tabata's throw for a double, and scored from third on Burriss' groundout to short later in the inning for the Giants' lone run.
San Francisco's bullpen also struggled to keep it close.
Andrew McCutchen and Casey McGehee singled to open the Pittsburgh eighth against Dan Otero, who was lifted for lefty Jeremy Affeldt. Sandoval sailed the throw to first on Neil Walker's bunt, allowing McCutchen to score from second during a two-run eighth that extended Pittsburgh's lead to 4-1.
The victory also was the first away from home for Pittsburgh this year.
''We just wanted to win a game,'' Hurdle said. ''This just happened to come on the road.''
NOTES: The last time the Giants swept the Pirates in a three-game series in San Francisco was July 2009. ... Pittsburgh sends LHP Erik Bedard (0-2, 2.25 ERA) to the mound Monday at Arizona opposite LHP Joe Saunders (0-0). ... Tim Lincecum (0-1, 12.91) looks to rebound after two horrid starts when San Francisco opens a three-game series against Roy Halladay (2-0, 0.60) and the Phillies on Monday in a marquee matchup of two-time Cy Young Award winners.

Date Climbed: Aug 9, 2015
|Contoured across the south slope from Royce-Feather Col to the base of the SW Ridge at Feather Pass, after climbing Merriam and Royce. Fun scrambling on the ridge ranging from class 3 on up to 5 if you want it, I dropped down onto either side of the ridge in a couple places to avoid the harder parts. Descended the first chute west of the SE ridge, then down the NE side of the Col. A couple hundred feet down the chute is filled almost the entire way across with ice, mostly hidden under gravel/dirt, not a fun thing to run into without gear. Next time I'll pay closer attention when Secor says axe required. I was able to gingerly climb to and over the crumbly rock on the north side of the chute to dry dirt to complete the descent.

SOCORRO, N.M., Jan. 9, 2008 – United Blood Services of New Mexico recently announced that New Mexico Tech is this year's recipient of the regional blood service organization's "Best Collegiate Blood Drive Award."
The award was made based on statistics compiled last year on campus participation in blood drives held at various New Mexico universities which showed that New Mexico Tech drew proportionately more donors from its 1,900 student population than any other university in the state.
Blood drives conducted at the research university in Socorro over the past two years have yielded 706 units collected, with the capacity to save 1,059 lives.
In addition, during the past fall semester's blood drive, New Mexico Tech collected 137 units, topping the single day donation record for a state university that had previously been held by the University of New Mexico.
"We've worked hard over the last couple of years to help educate our students on the importance of becoming regular blood donors," said Sara J. Grijalva, coordinator of the New Mexico Tech Residential Life Office, the group within the university that is responsible for coordinating campus blood drives.
While announcing the recent award, administrators at United Blood Services of New Mexico further commended the Tech Residential Life Office staff for continuing to be instrumental in creating the tremendous growth in blood donor participation and support on the New Mexico Tech campus.
Several representatives from the Tech Residential Life Office are scheduled to attend United Blood Services' annual coordinators luncheon in Albuquerque on Thursday, January 24, to accept the award on behalf of the university.

You might be tempted to question the wisdom of taking two of the biggest names from Bellator's Season 7 welterweight tournament and matching them in the opening round.
Why guarantee you eliminate one of the tourney's marketable fighters after just one round?
Lyman Good, the first-ever Bellator welterweight champ, doesn't really care. He's just happy to face a tough opponent like Jim Wallhead.
"That's what I'm most excited about," he told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com). "You have to prove yourself right from the beginning. It's a very exciting fight knowing I'm going against a very tough and known adversary. I know it's going to be a battle over who has the most heart and at the end who's going to reign victorious and impose their will."
Good (12-2 MMA, 5-2 BFC) and Wallhead (23-6 MMA, 1-1 BFC) kick off the eight-man tournament at Friday's Bellator 74 event at Caesar's Atlantic City in New Jersey. Their bout, as well as three other tourney opening-round matchups, air on MTV2 following prelims on Spike.com.
The tournament also includes Marius Zaromskis (18-6 MMA, 2-0 BFC), Michail Tsarev (23-2 MMA, 0-0 BFC) and Andrey Koreshkov (10-0 MMA, 2-0 BFC), among others. But among Bellator fans, Good and Wallhead probably are two of the better-known entrants.
"If it's the headliner of the event, why not have two big names and have them fight each other?" he asked.
Good, who won Bellator's first welterweight tournament to become an inaugural titleholder in 2009, has fought just twice in the past 17 months. After losing his title to Ben Askren, he entered a Season 4 tournament but suffered a close split-decision defeat to Rick Hawn in the semifinals in April 2011. But after an extended injury layoff, he returned a year later for a stunning 13-second knockout of LeVon Maynard to gain entry into this tourney.
"I'm absolutely ready," said Good, who said he used the layoff to sharpen his focus and heal up injuries. "I can't tell you how excited I am and how prepared I am for this fight and this tournament."
And he said fans can expect to see a better version of himself.
"It's been great," he said of his recent camp. "I've been utilizing the time very wisely. I can't tell you how healthy this camp has been. No injuries, nothing. I feel brand new. Everything is stronger than ever."
Good's opponent, "Judo" Jim, is on a 10-1 run with recent victories over big-show vets Frank Trigg, Joey Villasenor, Ryan Thomas and Che Mills. He has a high finishing rate and is one of the division's bigger 170-pounders.
Getting by an opponent like that would be an accomplishment for Good, but for a successful tourney run, he'd need two more wins after it. And in a tournament field in which the fighters' combined record is 120-23-1, and with three tough fights in about a 10-week span, it'd be tough not to look ahead.
Good, though, said he won't make that mistake.
"You can't think too much in a fight about what's ahead of you because then you're looking past your opponent," he said. "If you're thinking too much about making the next round, you may not make the next round because you're trying to be a little reserved in your fight. You have to put it all on the line and know that you're just going to go through one person at a time."

Spectrum Brands (NYSE:SPB) announced on Tuesday that it will purchase Stanley Black & Decker's (NYSE:SWK) hardware and home improvement business for $1.4 billion.
News of the deal sent Spectrum Brands shares soaring more than 11% in midday trading on Tuesday, while Stanley Black & Decker shares slid almost 2%.
The deal, which is expected to close in March, allows Stanley Black & Decker to continue its strategy of increasing overseas sales. It will also help finance its $850 million purchase of Infastech, an Asian producer of fasteners. Company officials called the hardware and home improvement division "healthy and profitable," but "inconsistent" with Stanley Black & Decker's goals, The New York Times noted.
Spectrum, whose holdings include Rayovac batteries, said the acquired business unit would add between 75 cents and 80 cents to its earnings per share in fiscal 2013.
Advisers for the purchase included Deutsche Bank (NYSE:DB) and Barclays (NYSE:BCS).
The Black & Decker unit, which produces Kwikset locks and Baldwin faucets, generates an adjusted annual profit of $188 million on revenue of $895 million.

A's optimistic about Balfour, target Monday for Weeks
By Tyler Emerick / MLB.com
PHOENIX -- A's closer Grant Balfour threw his fourth bullpen session Saturday since undergoing knee surgery last month while second baseman Jemile Weeks' return to game action could be pushed back to Monday, according to Oakland manager Bob Melvin.
The A's hope Balfour, who saved 24 games for the club last season, will make at least five appearances this spring before heading back to California for Opening Day.
"He's on a good schedule right now," Melvin said. "If he continues at the pace he's on right now and there are no setbacks, he certainly would be ready for the season."
Melvin added he's not sure yet what the next step for Balfour is moving forward, but he would likely need to throw in a simulated game and/or batting practice before making his spring debut.
Meanwhile Weeks, who is recovering from a bruised right shoulder he injured on March 1, participated in all team drills Saturday, but his manager might give him an extra day of rest before reinserting him back into the lineup. Melvin originally said Friday the team targeted Sunday for his return.
"If you're in spring and you get to the point where it's time to play, maybe it's prudent to give him one more day." Melvin said. "We'll see tomorrow, if he's close to 100 percent tomorrow, there's a chance he plays, but if not, maybe we give him one more day."
Weeks was 6-for-11 with five RBI in four spring training games before he suffered the injury.
Utilizing slider, A's Straily pleased with effort
SURPRISE, Ariz. -- Making his third start of the spring Saturday in competition for a back-end rotation spot, A's right-hander Dan Straily mixed in his slider more against the Rangers, turning in what he called his best outing so far.
The 24-year-old began his day by striking out the side in the first inning, inducing swinging strike threes on sliders from Texas All-Stars Ian Kinsler, Lance Berkman and Adrian Beltre.
"It was fun to see it is still sharp and working for me," Straily said. "It was good to get out there, throw it and see some late movement on it. I was able to get ahead and try to get them sped up with the fastball then slow them down with the slider. It was good."
Straily previously used the pitch sparingly this spring, because he was still trying to build up his arm.
"I didn't want to rush on it, it's not a pitch that I try to throw too often," he said. "I don't want to find myself on the DL because I tried to throw too hard."
The right-hander allowed two runs in the second inning, but only one came earned after Yoenis Cespedes misplayed a ball in left field. Straily settled back down in his final inning of work, retiring the side in order on just five pitches. He credited the quick inning to his offense, which sent up seven batters to the plate in the previous inning to give the pitcher some rest.
"I definitely came out and thought I was throwing a little bit slower, but it was the most effective inning I've had this spring," Straily said. "The long inning gave me the chance to catch my breath. The last thing you want to do is throw 30 pitches, wait for eight pitches, then go right back out there."
On the day, Straily surrendered two runs (one earned) on three hits and a walk while striking out three batters over three innings. After he exited the game, Straily tossed another 15 pitches in the bullpen to stretch him out even further.
"He mixed his pitches well, got himself into trouble a couple times, but I thought his stuff was good," A's manager Bob Melvin said. "Last year, if he got off to a bad start, it was tough for him to recover. He definitely has the stuff to recover, though. It's just maturity for him."
In his previous two spring appearances, the A's No. 2 prospect as ranked by MLB.com gave up four runs in 3 2/3 combined innings.
Billings' versatility a big draw for A's
PHOENIX -- With less than a month until Opening Day remaining, the A's reassigned Bruce Billings to their Minor League camp Saturday, meaning he'll start the 2013 season at Triple-A Sacramento. But even without a 25-man roster spot with his name on it, Oakland still sees the right-hander as a valuable piece to their club moving forward because of his versatility and experience.
"He's depth for us. ... He's a guy who needs to stay ready over the course of the season because he can make an impact at any particular time," A's manager Bob Melvin said. "He can pitch at the big league level -- he's just probably got a few guys ahead of him at this point. But he does have good stuff and he's versatile. We can start him or bring him out of the 'pen."
Billings made a few appearances with Oakland in 2012, but he spent the majority of the year in Sacramento, posting a 3.98 ERA in 133 1/3 innings as a starter. So far this spring, the 27-year-old has performed well, allowing one earned run over 4 2/3 innings.
"I'm just trying to get ready to play baseball and make whatever impression I can on the team," Billings said. "I want to be a positive influence in the clubhouse and be myself."
Even though the right-hander has gotten good results this spring, he is still tinkering with a few of his pitches while he can before he settles in later in March for final preparations for the year.
"I'm always messing with grips, always experiment with how you want to use pitches in certain situations," Billings said. "We're just getting ready for the regular season, so everything is just practice now. I didn't have my fastball command in my first couple outings; I was just kind of getting by with my stuff. But now we're kind of getting into the thick of camp, and I'm starting to feel more comfortable."
Worth noting
• In addition to Bruce Billings, the A's also reassigned Sonny Gray and Justin Thomas on Saturday.
• Addison Russell, Oakland's No. 1 prospect according to MLB.com, got his second start of the spring on Saturday, batting ninth and in the designated-hitter spot.
"When you bring a kid like that into camp, one of the top prospects, he's here for a reason," A's manager Bob Melvin said. "I want to get him some at-bats. I think for a youngster, sometimes the DH role can take away some of the nerves and get him more comfortable. He's done a nice job, though. He doesn't look like he's 19 years old. He doesn't act like it, either. It's always nice to reward somebody like that."
In his first 12 at-bats of the spring, Russell has four hits and a pair of RBIs.
• Melvin said Tommy Milone is using part of this spring to learn how to pitch differently in smaller parks while away from Oakland. The 26-year-old finished with a 2.74 ERA at the Oakland Coliseum last season but struggled on the road with a 4.83 ERA.
"You can't help but look at the numbers, because of the way his style of pitching plays at bigger ballparks like ours," Melvin said. "He throws a lot of strikes, and maybe at times you go a little bit out of the zone more in some smaller parks, where balls in the air end up getting out of the park. I know he's working to get more ground balls, too."
• Seth Smith and Josh Reddick spent time Saturday taking grounders at first base during workouts.

This paper presents the modeling and simulation of electro-thermo-mechanical self-oscillators, an emerging type of M/NEMS-enabled timing devices in which sustaining electronic amplifiers are not required for their operation. Indeed, they realize amplification in the mechanical domain and feedback by crossing three physical domains: electrical, thermal and mechanical. In a previous work [1], we proposed a new model to study such kind of MEMS oscillator. We demonstrated also the possible self-oscillation in case of the more attractive and practical direct voltage pumping for devices with a positive piezoresistive coefficient. In this poster, we present a novel COMSOL Multiphysics® finite element model for an electro-thermo-mechanic self-oscillator and according simulations that support our theoretical developments.A complete simulation to describe the behavior of self-oscillation is also presented in this work.

text: 12 seems quite old for biting, which is how old Rugal was at the time. A more "normal" reaction, though not a socially appropriate one, would've been to cuss Garak out. Obviously there's a reason we couldn't have that on TV (ironic considering that biting was a more serious matter than some swear words), but that's why I think there's evidence of serious psychological problems. And your point about Bajor is why I would've suggested DS9 as an alternate location where they could live. It would still be Bajoran enough that Rugal would find some familiarity in it, but Federation enough that diversity is a value. For all of Keiko's flaws, I know she would not tolerate racist bullying in the classroom, and I think that Starfleet officers would not stand by if an incident occurred in the public areas of the station.

What was The American Legion's response to the two government shutdowns at the end of 1995?
Although the circumstances were not exactly the same – VA was not dealing with a claims backlog; hostilities in Bosnia were winding down with discussion on the Dayton Agreement; and the economy was somewhat better – The American Legion still had a careful eye on the happenings in Washington. According to John Sommer, then executive director of the Legion's Washington office, "...The American Legion was communicating in strong terms to both Congress and the (Clinton) administration regarding any possible impact the shutdown might have on veterans and their families."
The first shutdown – Nov. 14-19, 1995 – was not long enough to affect military paychecks. The second – Dec. 16, 1995 to Jan. 6, 1996 – would have affected military pay, but defense appropriations sent through on Dec. 1 ensured no hiccup. During the two shutdowns, more than 400,000 veterans saw their disability benefits and pension claims delayed, and educational benefits were delayed to 170,000 servicemembers.

Spin Forward: Braves now must deal with Cain
After Lincecum in Game 1, struggling bats get no reprieve
By John Schlegel / MLB.com
Facing Matt Cain in Game 2 on Friday won't be a bayside stroll at AT&T Park, that's for sure. But the Braves knew that already.
On top of that, a Giants bullpen that didn't allow a run in its final 24 innings of work in the regular season is still revving its engine in the garage, ready to burst out if needed. The Braves are well aware of that, too.
Point is, it sure doesn't get any easier on Atlanta and its patchwork offense. And that puts a little more emphasis not only on the bats putting together some rallies against Cain, but also on young starter Tommy Hanson to ensure the scoreboard stays dark for as long as possible on both lines, much the way Derek Lowe and the Braves' relief crew did Thursday.
Certainly, Lincecum set a thunderous tone with his sparkling performance in his postseason debut, and he doesn't expect anything less from Cain and Game 3 starter Jonathan Sanchez.
"I feel like these guys are definitely poised and ready to get back out there," Lincecum said in the wake of his two-hit shutout of the Braves. "I was scratching to get on that field after six or seven days off. I'm sure these guys are itching to get that second wind.
"And [the Game 1 win] gives us a little bit of a springboard to go off of and tack on tomorrow. I feel Matty and Sanch are going to be fine."
Cain, it should be noted, was more than fine all year -- maybe he had a dud a month, but he wound up with a 3.18 ERA that was 29 points lower than Lincecum, and he ranked sixth in the NL in both WHIP (allowing a career-low 1.084 walks and hits per inning pitched) and innings pitched (223 1/3, a career high).
Nobody is Big Time Timmy Jim when it comes to dominance. When Lincecum is on like he was with his breaking stuff early and his rising heat late, there isn't a lineup in the league that's stepping up to the plate with an air of confidence. When he's dealing, it's generally all an opponent can do to get runners in scoring position -- which the Braves did just twice, with Omar Infante's double to lead off the game and Brian McCann's double in the seventh.
But Cain has had his moments of pure dominance this season, perhaps none more glaring than when he took a no-hitter into the eighth inning Sept. 26 in Colorado. It turned into a 4-2 Giants win that put a dagger in the Rockies' season. The gem was one of four complete games for Cain on the year, including a pair of shutouts.
He followed up his mastery in Colorado with one of his few tough outings of the season, allowing six earned runs in just four innings to the Padres -- a lineup no more potent than the Braves' -- in the opener of the season-ending three-game set with the NL West on the line. The bullpen pitched five shutout innings the rest of the way as the Giants mounted a comeback that fell short.
For his part, Cain is determined to take the good and the bad from his final start of the regular season and turn it into a learning experience.
"I think that was definitely a very exciting game, because I had the opportunity to be able to close out those guys the first night," said Cain, who lost his one start against the Braves on Aug. 7, allowing three earned runs in five innings. "So I think that was definitely a test. And I think that I'll use that to my advantage for [Friday] night and carry some of that."
The other side of the coin is that the Giants didn't exactly turn Lincecum's dominance into a blowout, a testament not only to Lowe's penchant for inducing ground balls, but also to the San Francisco offense's struggles with run production. Expecting another shutout from Cain is asking a lot out of any pitcher making his own postseason debut.
Still, the one run was enough in Game 1. San Francisco played in eight 1-0 games in the regular season, winning just three of them. Thursday's 1-0 victory carried a little more weight and sets up the series to be in the Giants' court.
"We only could push one run across, and tonight one run was enough for Tim and we ended up getting the win," said outfielder Cody Ross, who drove in that run with an RBI single in the fourth inning. "The series is going to be like that. We've prepared ourselves in the past to play in close games and nail-biters, but tonight was a big win for us to start the series."

Lawmakers entered this spring's legislative session eager to overhaul state regulations for red-light cameras that have brought a windfall in fines but also plenty of complaints from motorists.
TALLAHASSEE — Lawmakers entered this spring's legislative session eager to overhaul state regulations for red-light cameras that have brought a windfall in fines but also plenty of complaints from motorists.
But American Traffic Solutions, the Arizona-based company that is the largest red-light camera system equipment vendor, employed 22 lobbyists during the session. And the company contributed $100,000 to the Republican and Democratic parties in the three months leading up to the session.
When the session ended earlier this month, bills to ban the cameras, eliminate violations for right-hand turns or regulate yellow-light times had all failed.
Influence from the red-light camera industry was not the only factor. Adding to the resistance for change were the more than 70 Florida cities and counties that use the cameras and reap substantial revenue from the devices, amounting to about $46 million in the last full budget year.
Safety advocates also say the cameras save lives, pointing to a December report from the Florida Highway Patrol that showed accidents were down in many of the communities that deploy the red-light cameras.
But there is a growing unease about the cameras among key legislative leaders, including Senate Transportation Chairman Jeff Brandes, R-St. Petersburg.
"Personally I would like to do away entirely with the red-light camera program," Brandes said. "I think it's just ripe for abuse. There are some real concerns about privacy and due process. We take a picture of your car, but we don't know who is driving that car."
As the bills to change the use of red-light cameras faltered in the session's final days, Brandes amended a 226-page highway safety bill (HB 7125) with a series of changes for the red-light cameras.
One provision will increase the time motorists have to deal with the initial notice of violation from 30 to 60 days. After that, the violation becomes a more formal uniform traffic citation, carrying higher penalties, including a $264 fine as opposed to the initial $158 fine.
Another provision will require cities and counties to create an administrative appeals process for motorists who contest the initial violations.
The measure will give a break to motorists driving rental cars. Under current law, most have to pay the higher UTC fines by the time the notice of violation reaches them. They will have more time under Brandes' provision.
And the bill precludes motorists from being cited for a right-turn violation if they stop — even if it is beyond the intersection stop line.
Brandes said the bill doesn't go as far as he would like, including lacking any provisions on the timing of yellow lights or banning all right-turn violations. But he said it is a start on reforming the cameras' use.
Still, some critics see problems with the measure.
"It's really a mixed bag," said John Bowman, a spokesman for the National Motorists Association, an advocacy group that has opposed the cameras.
Bowman said there are favorable provisions, including the 60-day response time and the new limits on right-hand turn violations. But he questioned the use of local-government hearing officers to review protests and the potential for up to $250 in administrative costs being tacked on to the $158 fine — for a total of $405.
"That seems punitive," Bowman said.
As for allowing cities and counties to handle the appeals, Bowman said it will provide fewer legal protections for motorists than a court review.
"It really does cut corners on their ability to have full due process rights, to confront their witnesses," Bowman said. "It really does take away many of the standard legal tools."
Brandes defended the administrative costs by saying he wanted to have a cap on the costs rather than leaving it open-ended for the local governments to add fees. He said he anticipated the added costs to be in the range of $40 to $100 per case.
As for the potential for bias by the local government hearing officers, Brandes said: "I don't buy that argument." He said the appeals would be no different than administrative appeals now used by local governments for code enforcement or other regulations.
The bill has yet to reach Gov. Rick Scott, who will have 15 days to act on the legislation. If approved, the changes will take effect July 1.

Ajinca Trade Hits Snag: Some problems have surfaced in the Toronto Raptors and Dallas Mavericks' efforts to complete a trade for Alexis Ajinca in order to free up a roster spot in Dallas for the recently-released Peja Stojakovic.
According to Marc Stein of ESPN.com several NBA teams have complained to the league about the Mavericks and Raptors using two separate transactions to trade Stajakovic for Ajinca illegal under the current Collective Bargaining Agreement.
The quickness in which Dallas was able to secure a commitment from Peja seemed awfully fishy, but Stein reveals that the Mavericks were granted permission by Toronto to talk to Peja's agent after forward Caron Butler went down with an injury because a buyout was said to be inevitable.
In the case that the trade is vetoed by the league Dallas would have to waive a player to make room for Peja, who will officially clear waivers on Monday.
Ultimately this is nothing more than a minor story involving two pretty irrelevant players, but it goes to show just how much of a watchful eye NBA teams have on each other. Following the rules is extremely important because if a transaction of this magnitude is held up then any one could be if the proper steps aren't taken.

This sounds like Charlotte's nightmare all over again. AND sounds really desperate on BC's part. It comes off as unprofessional, as well. If other teams are "complaining", that can make it hard for BC to do business with other teams. Not good.

The Musicians Hall Of Fame and Museum has on exhibit the very instruments that these musicians used to record many of these classic hits.

Cities like Detroit, Nashville, Muscle Shoals, L.A., Memphis and N.Y .

They had nick names like The Swampers, The A-TEAM, The Memphis Boys, The FUNK BROTHERS, and The WRECKING CREW. Some of these studio bands actually became hit bands themselves, like Booker T and The M.G.'s and TOTO. During the late 50s through to the mid 80s, these groups of studio musicians played on over eighty to ninety percent of all the records recorded in these music centers.
The museum also is proud of its host city's musical past as well. Nashville is known as the center of country music but not many people know how many other styles of music have been recorded here in the past and now.

Hamburg Passenger list of Heinrich Seil 22 April 1883
I took a little browsing cruise trip from My Heritage Genealogy blog, [listed below] and went to blog finder that he mentions in one of his posts as you scroll down. [These are supplied by each with permission for their services. Mine are not entered so therefor not shown] I think that place is my new favorite site.
I was suddenly curious if there are any German Genea bloggers. So I went international and ended here.http://www.abenteuer-ahnenforschung.de/ I think that is as far as I went for the time being. I gave up the German GeneaBlogger idea. So Then I hopped up to Ancestry.de and proceeded with Meyer. One thing led to another and I was at the Hamburg Passenger list. One name led to another and I was with the name Seil on the Hamburg Passenger lists. [Ancestry searching takes a lot of patience any way and this grouping does take a lot more. I am hate to say it, but mine ran out too quickly at five in the morning. tee hee]
Now you know on the Hamburg Passenger lists that it is the date they leave Hamburg which you hope to find. It does not give you the date of Arrival. We have to look in a different passenger list for that. Or Castle Garden is just as good. Ancestry is designed to give you a lot of leeway. Where as another searching form for Passenger lists may differ and it helps to use both. In this case arrival to New York. 7.05.1883.
It was my intention to look into Elise Seil the subject of several Blogs this last week. It was no surprise to me that it was there. and I will still study her passenger list some more at a later time. [Elise Seil - 27 Mai 1892].
The reason we make such a big deal about these passenger lists is that it hopefully offers us the location of our ancestors. If we have something to go on, it really helps to know for sure that this is the right person. Elise (Lizzie) Seil says Gross Thondorf in the German language. So I look at all of these to find the location often stated right out front. And It helps to see what their destination is. Your lucky if it is specific.
But my eye caught on a Heinrich Seil born about 1860, who traveled- 22.April.1883 on ship Rugia.
A Heinrich SEIL born about 1859 and the AHRENS along with the SCHROEDERS have also been part of many blogging conversations dealing with the huge Subject of Farnhamville colony settlers, and Oldendorf und Nahrendorf colonists. According to Richard Kanning and Robert Stein Tree those Schroeders are listed from Duebbekold. And the fact that these passengers are from Mucklingen near enough to thrill me. You can happy dance for me if you like. I'll just be happy colorfully.
So here I am now with Heinrich Seil in 1883 age 23. From Mucklingen. If you google Mucklingen
You can click this link and find it is in Nahrendorf district
as you can see here the exact loction.
View Larger Map
I suppose your wondering how many others in a group are there from Mucklingen and who is going with him. And of course you can click the above Rugia passenger list to see. But I will tell you so you don't lose your place here.
The groupings:
On this ship Rugia with ca. = latin means = about birth years for the ages from Mucklingen.
Juergen Schroeder Geburt * 1849 age 34. Mucklingen ship Rugia
Maria Schroeder Geburt *1852 age 31 [Marie]
Heinrich Schroeder * 1874 age 9
Louise Schroeder * 1879 age 4 Muckl.
Annie Strauss Geburt * 1813 age 70 Muckl.
Heinr. Seil *1860 age 23
Fritz Schreoder *1836age 47 Mucklingen
Marie Schroeder * 1841 36 Mucklingen
Marie Schroeder * 1870 age 13 Jahrs. Mucklingen
Louise Schroeder * 1874 age 9 Muecklingen
Fritz Warnecke ca. *1879 age 4 Mucklingen
Wilhelm Konau ca *1859 age 24 Mucklingen.
Four more names and then.
Names with 'about' birth years for Dahlenburg passengers on Rugia
Johann Warnecke ca *1850 age 33 Dahlenburg ship rugia
Marie Warnecke ca *1853 age 30
Emmy Warnecke ca 1876 *age 7
Wilh. Warnecke ca *1881 age 2
Fransiska Hamman ca*1865 age 18 from Altona
I admit I have seen this group before and you probably have too. It is nice though to have it recorded here for review and we can see it when ever we want.
Comments: I should get the whole list recorded or saved.
That name Annie Strauss really threw me. She is probably somebodies parent. Or not.
I have an interest in the name Warnecke. I should share why another day.
Comments: There is Henry Seil of this age Of best fit in next census of 1900 and in Iowa 1885, 1895. The other Henry Seil of 1900 census are born Kentucky, New york, Louisiana, etc. Our Henry Seil who is in the Nahnsen/ Meyer tree resided at Reading Township, Calhoun county Iowa. He married Mary Ahrens from Bleckede.
Your thinking -- so what's the point, I could have found this almost as easy at ancestry.com.
It's true, but I like how easy it is to put in the locations. I may use this German version a few times. I was surprised that it easily accepts your login in name. If your familiar with the format at ancestry, language isn't that much of a problem. I wonder if you could have two windows - one the English version and the second the German version - open at the same time?
You can see it here transcribed.

This is very interesting. I always thought my ancestry was 100% New England Yankee until I recently found a Hessian soldier from the Revolutionary War in the family tree. Now I'm stumped at what to do next! I'm perusing all the blogs to see how everyone approached their German roots.ReplyDelete
I am not sure if I remember right, but I thought there was a list somewhere of Hessian soldiers. I am not sure how they would be able to make a list. I don't know a lot about Hessia and the different aspects of it. If you do use ancestry.com which I cannot live without go into rootsweb up at the mailing lists. My Robert Stein family came from the Orange [??] part of it. [shows how much I know] and I think he learned more by joining some of those groups. And of course you can see the general messages posted by everyone.ReplyDelete
With DAR, I am surprised he is not researched.
Of course I google everything. Recently though I fell in love with Lycos. but once you get the german situation set, there are some good germany research scanners.
I dwell on my German roots. Especially my area and the colony where they settled.
I think if you were to blog on Hessian area, it would draw in a crowd. Because we all could use some advice and help. And well not to limit your audience like I do, you could do some others of the long family line too.
It has made me wonder how many of the blogs I follow have mentioned german roots.
Thanks for stopping by and getting me to think a little bit about that.
Inspired by Heather and another blogger today, I was attempting to make sense of the search part of www.Hamburg.de resources. Enter term standesamt in the bar. I reviewed it and came up with this: https://standesamtauskunft.de/Default.aspx?kw=standesamt&gclid=CKTQi6ethaECFQtM5wodMV4fvwReplyDelete
It translates to :

Home address:
Starting a little more reasearch for someone who may have used this resource and I know people have, I found this hessian search site.
So for you Heather here it is a search site.
It explains how to use it to find churches. I think it will give addresses. So you can write instead of call, unless you have a fax machine hooked up. But If you enter Pfarramt just as it says, it does work.
At least you can see if there is a big settle ment area of others.
Maybe a blog a little later will work. Anyway it is not as free as I was led to believe.
See feb. 26 th.2010 post about how I use the phone book directory to search for church parishes. and the general phone book online.ReplyDelete
telefonebuch.de is googled and you will get the address link.

DETROIT - Her teenaged sons are in the hospital, both shot by a worker claiming self-defense, but the boys' mother is now speaking out and saying the shooter's story doesn't add up.
The shooting happened last week when the utility worker told police two teens tried to rob him at gunpoint and he fought back. He opened fire on the teens hitting both of them.

The 16-year-old, Nicko Brown and his brother, 17-year-old Devante Brown, are in the hospital recovering from their wounds, and now their mother wants more answers. She told Local 4 the story isn't adding up.
"My 16-year-old, he's a smart kid, intelligent kid. He wasn't no ghetto gangster, no robber, never beat up a person or nothing like that," said the boys' mother, Selena Mitchell. "I never heard of my sons carrying no guns. I just don't understand."
Mitchell said she can't see her sons right now and nobody is giving her information on the case.
"I'm not understanding why I cannot get information on my children,. They're minors," said Mitchell.
The hospital told the boys' mother that even though they are minors, she may not have information on the kids because they are technically in police custody.
"I just can't understand it. Why were my babies shot up, and they're fighting for their lives in there and they're not telling me any updates? They're my sons," said Mitchell.
The teens are expected to be arraigned on charges Tuesday.
The utility worker who pulled the trigger has not been released.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Canada' started by jdcross, Aug 29, 2012.
Good news. Now we can close this thread.
Look what it took to get the right thing done. "Shame on you Dave" would be more fitting.
Bbbbut, Dan Alexander's unpaid $2000 issue hasn't been resolved yet.
{ DA, file a lien against the property title }
Exactly, now this issue is really important
I'll look into doing that, do you need a judgement from a small claims court?
No, but you usually have to register the claim against the property within 45 days. Having a lien on the property won't actually do much unless the owner wants to sell; then the lien has to be resolved. Some people just don't like to have a lien on their house so they may try to come to some sort of agreement to get rid of it. That's generally how it goes here in Ottawa fucking Ontario but you might want to talk to someone who deals with this stuff professionally. $2000 ain't peanuts; imagine how much Labatts you could get for that
Its sad to hear this story. I've had a few shops screw up my bike (not Anderwerks) on trivial work, but all immediately resolved the issue and offered fair comp. Customers have to be reasonable too, and based on your story you were being reasonable.
Glad Anderwerks made the right decision in the end. The funny things is I've been trying for 8 months to get work done there, but no one has ever called me back! I usually call for 3 days straight, then after no reply go somewhere else for the servicing.
I get the impression they are great mechanics, they are honest and do care, but really struggle at running a business. That's not unique for small shops. I've been over there for events, and they do take pride in their work.
I'm glad that this all worked out for you jdcross. I was hoping that some thing good come out of this, and it did.
I think that this is something that many of us can take to the bank when it comes to dealing on what ever project we need.
Its all good expensive but good
