Athletics host Pitch, Hit and Run event
By Aaron Leibowitz / MLB.com
OAKLAND -- Early Sunday morning at the Coliseum, several hours before the A's and Red Sox took the field, 24 kids played ball with a potential trip to the All-Star Game in Minneapolis on the line.
Competing in Major League Baseball's Pitch, Hit and Run event, sponsored by Scott's, the kids strutted their stuff inside a mostly empty stadium -- save for the groundskeepers and, of course, the parents, with camcorders and smartphones in tow.
"Are you nervous?" one girl asked another, lined up along the left-field line before the event got underway.
"Yeah," she replied. "I didn't think I would be, but now I am. It's so cool."
The boys and girls were divided into four age groups: 7-8, 9-10, 11-12, and 13-14. They had already advanced past local and sectional rounds, and this was the final hurdle.
All 30 Major League clubs hold a Pitch, Hit and Run competition, and the top three scorers nationally in each age group compete in the finals during All-Star weekend.
"Way to go, Superman!" yelled one supporter to Andrew Saldana of Lathrop, Calif., after he fired a few strikes in the pitching portion.
The kids got three swings apiece off a tee from home plate, and were timed dashing from second to home.
Final scores were calculated, winners were announced, and everyone, regardless of performance, received a plaque.
"You were on a Major League field," one dad reminded his son after meeting him in the stands behind third base.
For some of the kids, that simple fact was enough.
"Dad, look what I got: a ball that was on the field!" beamed Connor Poreidor of Jackson, Calif., the winner of the ages 7-8 boys division.
Then he added, almost as an aside: "I hope I get to go to..."
"Minnesota," he was reminded.
"Yeah, that."
The national finalists will be announced June 29 on MLB Network.

Oh my god tell me about it. The proposal is the ultimate turning point. Its like... complete confirmation on both sides that they DO love eachother equally, and that they belong together, FOREVER.
I kinda wish I could be Bella in Eclipse when she finally agrees to marry him (even if it is just for sex lol) because I think I would have reacted better, and I would have wanted it as much as Edward does. I know she comes through in Breaking Dawn eventually, but her initial reluctance and obvious horror at the idea kinda puts a downer on the whole thing, dontcha think?
It's typical Bella... and the wedding scene would not have been the same without her previous jitters, but I just wish she'd clocked on sooner.

Summaries of EU Legislation
Summaries of EU legislation: direct access to the main summaries page.
Copyright and related rights: satellite broadcasting and cable retransmission
The purpose of this Directive is to promote the free cross-border satellite broadcasting of programmes and their cable retransmission from other Member States, and in particular to remove the obstacles arising from disparities between national provisions on copyright and from the legal uncertainty that exists in this field.
Council Directive 93/83/EEC of 27 September 1993 on the coordination of certain rules concerning copyright and rights related to copyright applicable to satellite broadcasting and cable retransmission.
Satellite broadcasting
The satellite broadcasting of copyright works requires the authorisation of the rightholder. The right may be acquired from the rightholder only by agreement.
Performers are granted an exclusive right to:
- broadcast live performances by satellite;
- fix (record) an unfixed performance;
- reproduce a fixation of a performance.
Where a phonogram is used for a satellite broadcast, an equitable remuneration is to be paid to the performers, or to the producers of phonograms, or to both. Broadcasting organizations have exclusive rights over the retransmission, fixation and reproduction of fixations of their broadcasts.
Limits may be imposed on the right to authorise or prohibit broadcasting, for example in the case of private use or the use of short excerpts in connection with the reporting of current events.
Member States may establish more far-reaching protection than that required by the Directive.
Cable retransmission
Cable retransmission of broadcasts is governed by copyright and related rights in the Member States and by agreements between copyright owners, holders of related rights and cable operators.
These rights to authorise or prohibit the cable retransmission of a broadcast are exercised through a collecting society, except where they are exercised by a broadcasting organization in respect of its own transmissions.
Where no agreement can be reached allowing cable retransmission of a broadcast, the parties may call upon the assistance of one or more mediators. The mediators have the task of providing assistance with negotiation and may also submit non-binding recommendations to the parties.
The Directive also lays down rules governing the impact of the new provisions on existing situations, with special reference to current contracts and arbitration systems for disputes over the cable retransmission of broadcasts.
Entry into force
Deadline for transposition in the Member States
Official Journal
Directive 93/83/EEC
OJ L 248 of 6.10.1993
Report from the European Commission on the application of Council Directive 93/83/EEC on the coordination of certain rules concerning copyright and rights related to copyright applicable to satellite broadcasting and cable retransmission [COM/2002/0430 final - Not published in the Official Journal]. This report analyses the transposition into national law of Council Directive 93/83/EEC and examines the ractical application of the Directive.
The Commission notes that, generally speaking, the mechanisms put in place by the Directive contribute tothe cross-border broadcasting of television programmes. The Commission also presents certain lines of thought aimed at improving some of the mechanisms.
The Commission highlights two points which it intends to examine in greater depth:
- the difficulties which citizens encounter in trying to access satellite channels transmitted outside the Member State in which they are resident;
- the need to adapt certain current mechanisms relating to the protection of copyright and related rights (settlement of disputes, role of collecting societies).
In its conclusions the Commission emphasises that the methods of managing rights to cable retransmission and mediation will be assessed in the general context of the evolution of the media in the information society. Only after that has been done will the Commission consider whether or not to revise Directive 93/83/EEC.

John: The is a paper dealing with this specific topic published in the December,2004 issue of the Journal of Histotechnology. This paper present tha AVERAGE productivity for each task in histology; its only drawback is that it does not include the RANGE productivity for each. Rene J. "Jasper, Thomas G."
wrote: John, I am quite certain that you'll get a variety of opinions on this topic. In approaching this "mission" I think you need to be clear about 2 things. 1) What is the scope of your service? and 2) Where are you going? You do mention a 50-60 block per day figure and basic clinical histology duties performed in general manually. Does this currently work well for you? Are your pathologists happy with the turnaround time and the quality of the work they receive? Are you trying to expand your business? Are your volumes naturally increasing and/or are they projected to increase? Do you want to develop technically, i.e. Immunohistochemistry, In Situ Hybridization? Are you looking at automating some of your current processes, i.e. special stains and coverslipping? Holy buckets! That's a lot of questions right out of the gate! But, you need to answer questions like these to make an accurate assessment and good decisions. One thing I'm willing to bet is that your organization is looking to save money. That's very understandable in this day and age, however you've got to be real careful in doing it. Evaluate your service very carefully as this will reveal true costs and true savings. This may not apply to you, but for instance, take estrogen and progesterone receptors. I'm guessing that you probably send those tests out somewhere. How much does that cost? Do you have the talent in-house to take it on yourself? If you do and your volumes warrant it, you may save money. Money that's easily demonstrated up front and savings in other ways such as faster turnaround times. This in turn increases the overall value of your service and makes the techs more valuable as well. Again, this may not apply to you I just created a scenario to make a point. This leads me to your last statement which is concerning, and that's the comment about losing a position or two. I firmly believe that people are the greatest asset of an organization. You need to hold on to positions with tenacity. Everyone wants to do more with less, and that's great. I like the modification of doing more with what you've got, especially if you've got good people. Even if the people aren't that good you can try to get others as long as you still have positions to fill. Good histotechs are hard to find, enough said there. Geez, I really haven't given you any hard numbers and I guess I'm loathe to do so considering all the unknowns and variables. I can tell you this, years ago when I worked in a contract lab (non-clinical, sweatshop) we were expected to cut 200 blocks in 8 hours with no more than 15 recuts. I did learn to cut pretty fast there but I wouldn't recommend it. I track hours and production here very closely but comparisons are not going to be apples to apples. I value quality over quantity and I expect that people will do their best day in and day out. Techs are people and some are stronger in different areas than others. We average 200-250 blocks per day, with 2 techs embedding and 3-4 techs cutting. We try to finish cutting in about 5 to 5.5 hours. Again, this is fraught with variables. To me, if someone here is cutting 25 to 30 blocks an hour I think that's pretty good. Please excuse my rambling, but this is a tough nut to crack as the world is filled with shades of grey. Good luck to you. tj -----Original Message----- From: email@example.com [mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com] Sent: Wednesday, November 02, 2005 8:34 AM To: email@example.com Subject: [Histonet] Histotechnician productivity Hello Everyone, I have been assigned a "mission" by our medical director. He wants me to find out what would be a reasonable number of blocks per day for a histotech. I have tried searching the archieves for this information because I know it seems to be discussed quite often. However most of the old threads I found seemed to end up with histology professionals discussing that they would not work in a "factory like" atmosphere where they are slaves to productivity and turn around times. Which to be honest I agree with, histology should be a quality oriented product. I have also looked at the ASCP and NSH websites where this information is not readily accessible. I will probably e-mail them to see if they have any research or insight on this topic. The numbers that I am most familiar with, is 50 to 60 blocks per day per histotech, when one is including embedding, cutting, manual H&E and Pap staining(gyn & non-gyn), manual coverslipping, manual special stains, and frozen sections. I am just not sure how accurate those numbers are for staffing a histology lab. This information is needed because we will be consolidating two separate small community hospital histology labs onto one campus. Apparently this will be used to justify the current staff of both locations. Unfortunately, I believe this information will ultimately be used to eliminate a position or two.

Hey all,
Yup, been away for a while again, and probably will disappear once more. But I had to share you this. Apparently, I forgot to feed my bunnies last night. They get pellets early in the morning and an hour before bed. I know, forgetting was, VERY bad. Things have been hectic and, well, it just happened. I went in this morning to give them their morning food and the site I saw got me a little nervous.
I have often joked about Maryann being a super intelligent bunny. One that plotted my demise, carried a gun, etc. Well let me lay out the scene for you. When I feed my rabbits, I take a 'handful' of food and dump it into a mini food trough. This has the benefit of quick feeding without having to open the cage up. However, when I do this, a little of the food clings to my hand and often falls outside of the trough and onto the floor. Usually when I let my bunnies out to play, they get an extra treat by hopping over there and cleaning up my mess.
Well when I walked into the room today, there was a long piece of willow, a tongue depressor and a half chewn bath tissue roll (which is bigger than the grid of the cage) pushed through the cage and lying strewn upon the litter of food outside. I blinked, since these items were normally on the other side of the cage and they never play with them. I leave them in there 'just in case' but now they were outside. At first I thought it was some sort of protest but usually when they have a major fit, they upend the litter box. Then I realized what it was.
They were using tools!
They were using these long items in an attempt to pull the food towards the cage. Now, granted, I feel very VERY bad that they were hungry for the night. But now I'm very VERY scared. My rabbits... can... use... tools.
A picture of the scene of the op...
BTW, the arrow towards Dono is suppose to say "Henchbun"
It has begun.

Tiger Woods' Mouth Is as Dirty as His Fingers
We all know that Tiger Woods likes dirty text messages, among other things. Turns out he's got a potty mouth, too! Here's video of Woods dropping multiple f-bombs on live television yesterday, after missing a putt at the British Open.
"Why the fuck did you do that?" Tiger asks himself, before hurling even more four letter words at... himself? Hm. Something tells me he's asked himself the same question at least a few other times in the last several months.

I feel bad for Josh Baker. He showed real heart early in the year and made some good plays, but that terrible hit he took to the leg ruined everything.
Lets here Tebows name next!
Sometimes I feel like people are allergic to sarcasm on this site.
And no, but the poster i was responding to was acting as if the jets off season challenges were just eliminated in one afternoon of cuts. he was "ROTFLAMO"
about what? About not having any cap room to improve the team from last year? About being tied to a QB that no fan wants to the tune of 10% of the cap. Or maybe he was laughing because his teams best player says on national TV that he wants more of the cap going forward, of he will find a new place to play . Funny stuff.

Most of us realists know that 2013 is basically a lost cause anyway. We aren't making a run at the gold so who cares if we don't have much wiggle room this year?
In 2014, we'll have a ton of cap room and can actually start restocking the team.
Out of the Smiths, Pace, Scott and Baker the only guy you have to replace with anything other then a JAG is Pace. The rest are insignificant. Davis is taking over Scott's position and basically already did last year. None of these releases affect the team in a negative way on the field.
I understand how jet fans can feel at this time, I been a patriot fan for over 40 years and seen enough of 2-14 seasons to last a lifetime.
This board will be hopping and the fans will be "pumped and jacked" when Sanchez and Holmes are cut and the jets are looking at 50mill in cap room next year. In another post in this thread I advised against touching harris contract lest it become an anchor like Pace and Scotts were this last season.
However You and I must disagree on the definition of jag if Scott who got 400 snaps is a Jag, Scott was a starter for 13 games when he was healthy. A jag is a guy that might see 5 snaps a game - Mauga- Bellore some one like that.
It's crazy how some people take every so called "expert" word for it when they talk about the NFL on ESPN or the NFL network. John Clayton actually just said that the Jets released 3 starters from last year, Pace, Scott and Eric Smith? Really? How the eff do these guys get these jobs? And then went on to say how surprised he was that the Jets cut him even if it saved them $3 million b/c we should be nervous that he may go to the Bills. What the hell are these guys smoking? I hope they all go to the Bills. That means there defense will be slow as molasses. Please take them.

Dr. Jimmy Acklin and two people who lived at his home in Crawford County were arrested in September on charges of drug manufacturing and firearms charges. All three have pleaded not guilty to charges of manufacturing marijuana, possession of methamphetamine, simultaneous possession of drugs and firearms and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Medical board attorney Kevin O'Dwyer told the Northwest Arkansas Times (http://bit.ly/SPRkEX) Monday that the board suspended Acklin after reviewing the charges.
Neither Acklin nor his attorney returned phone calls seeking comment.
Acklin is on leave from the Area Health Education Center in Fort Smith where he trained young doctors entering family practice medicine.

Bill de Blasio has received a huge endorsement from PresidentBarack Obama in the ongoing N.Y.C. mayoral race, according to the Daily News.
In a statement released Monday, Obama said de Blasio would be a "great" mayor to "America's largest city." Obama also cited de Blasio's campaign on progressive values:
Progressive change is the centerpiece of Bill de Blasio's vision for New York City, and it's why he will be a great mayor of America's largest city,
Whether it's ensuring pre-kindergarten is available for every four-year old, expanding after-school programs for every middle school student who wants and needs them, making affordable housing available for more New York families and preserving community hospitals, Bill's agenda for New York is marked by bold, courageous ideas that address the great challenges of our time.
In response, De Blasio tweeted the following:
He also promised to do whatever it takes to help New Yorkers if elected, saying, "If I am fortunate to earn the trust of the people of New York on November 5th, I will work every day to advance our shared value of making sure everyone has a fair shot," he said.
In 2009, President Obama endorsed Bill Thompson for mayor; however, at the time, the endorsement was seen as coming too late in the race.
De Blasio will take on Republican Mayoral candidate Joe Lhota for the mayoral seat on Nov. 5.

Independence bonus claim questioned
The Chief Secretary to the Treasury has branded claims Scots could net an "independence bonus" of £1,000 a year as "pure wishful thinking" at the same time as he has been challenged to set out potential cuts to public spending north of the border if there is a No vote in September's referendum.
Danny Alexander likened the Scottish Government to a "gambler trying to persuade us to bet the house on a six horse accumulator" after it published a report which claimed Scotland could be £5 billion a year better off 15 years after independence.
Meanwhile Holyrood Finance Secretary John Swinney has pressed the senior Westminster politician on whether the system for allocating funds to the different parts of the UK would be changed if Scotland voted to stay in the UK.
Mr Swinney fears changing the Barnett Formula could lead to a £4 billion cut in public spending in Scotland.
He said that the Liberal Democrat manifesto for the 2010 general election had proposed replacing this with a "new needs-based formula to be agreed by a Finance Commission of the Nations", but added Mr Alexander's remarks earlier this week appeared to contradict this.
On a visit to Edinburgh to launch a Treasury paper which claimed everyone in Scotland could benefit from a £1,400 "UK dividend" if the country stayed in the UK, Mr Alexander reportedly said no party in the UK was planning to change the Barnett Formula.
Mr Swinney challenged him, asking the UK Government minister: " Why did you give that answer when you had full knowledge that your own party's Home Rule and Community Rule Commission report (the Campbell Commission) says: 'The Liberal Democrats have long believed that the Barnett Formula should be replaced by a genuine needs-based assessment'?"
The Scottish Finance Secretary said that "ma ny leading Liberal Democrats" had "long called for the Barnett Formula to be scrapped".
He went on to tell Mr Alexander: " You fought the last UK general election on a manifesto which said: 'Replace the current Barnett formula for allocating funding to the Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish governments with a new needs based formula, to be agreed by a Finance Commission of the Nations'.
"So you know full well that elected members of the Westminster parties are proposing to make changes to the Barnett Formula because the Liberal Democrats are one of those parties."
Mr Swinney insisted that replacing the current funding a rrangements with a new formula "could lead to further cuts of £4 billion in Scottish public spending over and above those" that Westminster is "already inflicting on Scotland".
At the same Mr Alexander hit out at the Scottish Government's claims there would be an "independence bonus" if Scots vote Yes in the referendum.
"The Scottish Government's Independence bonus is pure wishful thinking," the Chief Secretary to the Treasury said.
"It is not based on evidence and is not supported by independent experts who describe their figures as 'too optimistic' and 'apple pie'. The nationalists are like a gambler trying to persuade us to bet the house on a six horse accumulator."
Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond said his Government's paper, which was published on Wednesday, ''gives a very clear picture of what independence could deliver in economic terms''.
An increase of 0.3 percentage points in the productivity growth rate could raise an additional £2.4 billion a year in revenues by 2029/30, according to the report.
Upping the employment rate in Scotland by 3.3 percentage points - taking it to the level of the five best-performing countries in the developed world - could provide additional revenues of £1.3 billion a year, it claimed.
Meanwhile, a rise in the population that is less than the UK as a whole is expected to see could net a further £1.5 billion a year by 2029/30, the report stated
''We project that over a 15-year period, the tax revenue addition is £5 billion - around £1,000 a head for every man, woman and child in Scotland, or some £ 2,000 for each Scottish family,'' Mr Salmond said.
''We describe that as the bonus of independence - the independence bonus."
The Treasury has claimed that the assumptions the Scottish Government had based this on were "hypothetical" and said it had failed to "provide a detailed assessment and analysis of the policies they would put in place to achieve them".
Mr Alexander said the Scottish Government was " asking voters to believe that breaking up the most successful union in history will increase productivity, employment and growth without explaining how this will happen."
He added: "Every Scot will get a £1,400 UK dividend if we keep the UK together - we shouldn't put that at risk."

Agency under attack by right wing is about more than abortions
PHYLLIS GUEST | Contributing columnist
Bernard Baruch said it first in the 1940s; Secretary of Defense James Schlesinger shortened it in the 1970s, and Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan phrased it most succinctly in the 1980s: "Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts."
Apparently, many Americans have not heard — or have not agreed with — that simple statement.
Consider, for example, current efforts in Washington, D.C., and nationwide to defund Planned Parenthood.
The efforts made news when, on April 8, Arizona Republican Jon Kyle announced on the floor of the Senate that abortions comprise "well over 90 percent of what Planned Parenthood does."
The organization countered that abortions are only 3 percent of the organization's services. Kyle's staff asserted that his remark "was not intended to be a factual statement" and then edited the Congressional Record to say that abortion is simply "what Planned Parenthood does."
Back in Austin for Easter recess, Republican Sen. John Cornyn of Texas picked up Kyle's theme. On April 20, Cornyn assured The Texas Tribune's Emily Ramshaw that "he's been told 98 percent of the services Planned Parenthood offers to pregnant women are abortion-related." His staff added that the senator would not join "the nickel tour at any Planned Parenthood centers."
Take that, you sinners.
In fact, the latest figures — from 2010 — show that Planned Parenthood of North Texas provided 6,000 abortions, 43,000 pap smears and many more thousands of low-cost screenings for cancer and other deadly ailments.
In addition, PPNT provides sexual and general health services for men and women for modest, fixed charges.
So why should any of this interest those of us in the local LGBTQA community? Think children's well-being, sex education and tax rates. All are intertwined.
Start with the well-being of children. On April 7, State Attorney General Greg Abbott and former first lady Laura Bush announced an effort to recruit more volunteers for the Texas Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) program. Their plea is urgent — because Texas now has 42,000 children in its foster care system. Those 42,000 children were unwanted at birth or have been abused or abandoned since.
Many Texas politicians consider members of our community who might like to foster or adopt them unworthy. Yet few if any of our oh-so-righteous pols have stepped up to adopt or even advocate for these children.
Next, consider sex — sex education, that is.
In Texas, most notably in the public schools, sex ed is either all about abstinence or altogether absent. Thus, countless Texans lack basic information on contraceptive options. They cannot choose the best protection for themselves and their partners.
Small wonder Texas has so many teenage mothers and leads the nation in teens with two or more offspring. Rates of sexually transmitted diseases among young Texans also are startlingly high — and even higher among some minority groups.
Our state's macho tradition may even encourage unprotected sex.
Finally, take the issue of how tax dollars are spent in Texas.
Unless conservatives come up with enlightened ways to lift "the least of these our brethren" out of poverty, which they seem disinclined to do, some tax dollars will go towards basic services for the poor.
An estimated 60 percent of Texas mothers are so impoverished that physicians and hospitals must compete for scarce Medicaid dollars to fund prenatal care and delivery. Many families rely on the state's meager Temporary Assistance to Needy Families — about $260 a month — for basic foodstuffs. Texas public schools provide lunch and often breakfast so children will not spend the day hungry and go home ill.
Keep in mind that Planned Parenthood, now almost a century old:
• Is prohibited by law from using tax dollars to fund abortions. Of course, money is fungible, but Congress never provides more than one-third of the dollars needed to give all low-income and uninsured persons access to contraceptives and sexual health care. There is no tax money to free up for abortions. Support for Planned Parenthood Surgical Health Services, the separate entity that performs abortions in North Texas, comes entirely from patient fees and private donations.
• Provides services without discrimination to persons of all races and ethnicities, young and old, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression. Here in North Texas, Planned Parenthood works with other nonprofits, including those most closely associated with the LGBT community, to assure the availability of confidential, low-cost testing and expert counseling for HIV/AIDS as well as all other STDs.
• Furnishes important support to LGBTs who are parents, parents of LGBT children, and LGBT children of all ages. For example, a recent workshop in Fort Worth was entitled "LGBT Issues — You've Got Questions, We've Got Answers." Leading the workshop was a facilitator with an master's degree in social work and years of experience spent teaching undergraduate and graduate courses on sexual health.
So an argument in support of Planned Parenthood is not an argument for abortion. It is simply an argument against ignorance.

Between the Buried and Me To Unleash New DVD of Intimate Take on 'The Parallax II: Future Sequence'
Between the Buried and Me have officially announced the release of a new DVD. Instead of going with the classic method of performing live at a prestigious venue or festival, BTBAM are aiming to create an intimate experience, playing 'The Parallax II: Future Sequence' from front to back in a small studio space.
Much they did on their recent North American tour, Between the Buried and Me's 'Future Sequence,' which connects as one 72-minute song, will be performed nonstop for this new DVD. BTBAM have unleashed a marathon set before with 'Colors Live' in 2008, which was recorded at the Rocketown in Nashville, Tenn.
"We are very happy to announce that we are finally doing a DVD for The Future Sequence," says frontman Tommy Rogers. "In this age we live in you can watch us play any of our songs live online. So we wanted to give our fans something a little different… an intimate live performance of us playing in a studio. It will be a wonderful experience and I hope you all enjoy it as much as we enjoy playing these songs."
Between the Buried and Me detailed the DVD further on their official Facebook page:
Between The Buried and Me have announced that they will be filming a brand new DVD in March! The concept behind this project is in contrast with the band's ambitious and impressive live stage productions – this will feature the band in a small studio, an intimate setting in which they will perform "The Parallax II: Future Sequence" in its entirety. Joining the band for this performance will be a small group of auxiliary musicians, including percussionists, saxophone, flute, string quartet. BTBAM will record at the Fidelitorium outside Winston-Salem, NC after the conclusion of their upcoming North American tour. Director Justin Reich will be behind the cameras for this project, and longtime BTBAM producer, Jamie King, will mix and master the audio. The release date is tentatively scheduled for the Fall.
Be sure to catch BTBAM on their upcoming North American tour with Deafheaven, Intronaut + the Kindred.

I am working on a microbusiness plan and model at Cargo Imports as part of the Lunar Boom Town study project. The study subject is a mass produced robotic cargo carrier specialized for one way payload to the moon. Payload is maximized by maximizing the salvage value of the Lunar Insertion Stage (crash lander) and the Cargo Soft Lander by constructing them of recyclable elements and components in demand in lunar free markets. I may include robotic warehouse at spaceport at both ends of the cargo leg. I am going to storyboard the whole process by using youtube clips and produce one or two stills and clip segments myself. I am sort of doing a virtual systems engineering project for a robotic cargo cargo. A virtual robot or vapourware. 8)
I am also going to try to cast and machine my own parts for a Estes style model of the virtual robotic carrier. I expect to make a few nickels by returning whole al cans to store while melting down crushed ones for aluminum. I will do some sample economic calculations using estimated electrical consumption and cost of manufacturing green sand casting box, stainless steel melting pot, and pattern.
I suppose I could attempt to sell the model on EBay after test flight for materials analysis or failure analysis.
It would be slick if anybody is interested if some robotics got added into the budding venture plans. Never can tell. We might come up with a viable micro cottage manufacturing variant applicabe to garage hobby or startup here on Earth.
It would be nice also if some of you guys did some of your common efforts at a robotics department, project, course, or task at Wikiversity to add to the free engineering commons design and manufacturing specifications available. We are trying to learn what ground rules and web techniques work for various R&D types of efforts. Wikiversity would benefit immensely if you share with us what you need to collaborate effectively online in pickup teams. We are starting to attract some serious academic and professional scouts so some of you might find access to certain types of pickup expertise or casual chit chat focused on the specific design task you face useful.
Just imagine an open/free specification robotic manufacturing line controlled by a network of "One Laptop Per Child" computers carving doodads for sale to wealthy knick knack collectors on EBay.

Elasticity may be useful to anyone pushing materials performance envelope.

LA VERNE, Calif. – A stiff defensive effort and a few key shots in the second half led to the Puget Sound men's basketball team's 56-53 win over La Verne on Tuesday afternoon. The win completed a clean sweep of the Loggers (5-5) three-game swing through southern California.
Three different starters put up double digits in scoring for the Loggers. Derek Jobe led the Loggers with 14 points, while Rex Holmes added 13 points, and Riggs Yarbro pitched in 10 more. Ryan Rogers, another starter, had nine points in the Loggers winning effort.
The long trip looked to be hanging heavy on the Loggers early on as the Leopards (1-7) jumped out to a quick 7-0 lead. Their lead reached as much as nine points with 15:20 left in the first when Alex Wolpe's free throw made the margin 14-5.
However, the Loggers immediately struck back as Yarbro successfully converted a three-point play just over one minute later to cap an 8-0 run. The Leopards held off the Loggers momentarily, but Jobe's three pointer with 8:05 left tied up the game at 20-20, and Roger's three just 30 seconds later gave the Loggers their first lead 23-22.
The lead changed hands seven times late in the first half, but the Loggers ended the half on a 5-0 run to take a 36-32 lead into the half.
After the comeback in the opening 20 minutes, the Loggers never trailed. Both teams struggled to find their shooting rhythms as percentages dropped in the final period. The Leopards were held to just 24.1 percent shooting in the second half and failed to drain a three-point shot in eight tries. The Loggers were just a bit better at 36.3 percent shooting in the half.
The Loggers held off the Leopards in the second half as both teams traded small runs. The lead grew to as many as nine points when Holmes' layup with 5:24 to go made the score 52-43. After a Rogers at the 3:38 mark, the Loggers again led by nine.
The Leopards refused to go as Jake Vieth and Wolpe knocked down four consecutive free throws to narrow the gap to five points. The Loggers scored just once more on a jumper from Holmes, but were able to thwart the Leopard comeback attempt to hold on for the win.
Vieth had a game-leading 20 points as the only Leopard in double digits.
The Loggers will enjoy a short holiday break before returning to the court at Portland Bible on Dec. 29 at 3 p.m.
TACOMA, Wash. – A tough defensive effort from the Puget Sound women's basketball team led to a 68-58 win over Concordia on Sunday. Kelsey McKinnis turned in a double-double with 18 points and 11 rebounds.
The Loggers (7-3) held the Cavaliers (5-7) to just 22.7 percent shooting in the game and a 4-of-18 mark behind the three-point line. The Loggers shot 32.8 percent in the game.
Both teams struggled to score in the early stages of the game as both started 1-of-14 from the floor. The Cavs knocked down their first jumper of the game, but were then held scoreless for just over eight minutes as they missed 13 straight shot attempts.
Meanwhile, four free throws from Sarah Stewart and two-point buckets from McKinnis and Jones gave the Loggers an 8-2 lead with 11:42 left in the first half. Malori Dixon finally ended the Cavs drought with 11:30 remaining with a layup.
The Loggers went on to methodically build a 31-21 lead at halftime behind a solid 15-point effort from their bench players. McKenna Daly scored the Cavs only bench points of the half. Allie Wyszynski led the Logger bench with six of her 16 points in the first half.
Wyszynski, a freshman, had one of the best nights of her young career on 5-of-8 shooting and a perfect 6-of-6 effort from the free throw line. She also pulled down four boards and had two assists.
Freshman Emily Sheldon aided the winning effort with five assists and three steals. She also scored six points on a pair of three-pointers and had three rebounds.
The Loggers kept their foot on the gas in the second half as they went on a 15-3 run over the first five minutes and saw their lead reach as much as 22 points.
Kelly Huey did her best to lead the Cavaliers back late in the second half as she scored 15 of her 17 points in the final period. However, the Loggers were able to keep the Cavs at bay as they held on for the win.
The Loggers will take a break away from competition for nearly two weeks but will take the floor on Dec. 29 at St. Martins in the final nonconference game.

Berkman activated; Robinson sent to Triple-A
By Jenifer Langosch / MLB.com
Berkman, who missed 21 games while he nursed the injury, hit fifth and played first base for St. Louis on Sunday. He finished 1-for-5 with a single and three strikeouts.
"I was pretty pleased with the at-bats for not having been in there," Berkman said, when asked about his timing. "It's just going to take some time."
He said he felt no discomfort in his left calf during his nine innings on the field.
Robinson will join Memphis on Monday after enjoying Mother's Day in St. Louis with his wife, Jessica, who recently gave birth to the couple's first child, Tinley.
Robinson was squeezed from a roster spot despite playing quite well during his time with the Cardinals. In addition to playing a solid center field, Robinson hit .311 in 23 games. He made eight starts.
"Shane plays a fantastic outfield and has done a good job putting together great at-bats in the limited time he gets," manager Mike Matheny said. "I was real impressed with him."
Robinson is in line to be the first player called up should the Cardinals need to replace an outfielder. He is likely to accrue regular playing time with Memphis.
The Cards went 11-10 during Berkman's most recent absence. Before landing on the DL, Berkman collected eight hits in 23 at-bats.
Seven Cards use pink bats for Mother's Day
ST. LOUIS -- In conjunction with Mother's Day, Major League Baseball raised awareness for breast cancer on Sunday by prominently incorporating the color pink in each of the 15 games played.
At Busch Stadium, the Cardinals and Braves each posted pink lineup cards in their respective dugouts. Seven Cardinals players -- Jon Jay, Tyler Greene, Tony Cruz, Rafael Furcal, Lance Berkman, Matt Holliday and Jaime Garcia -- agreed to use pink bats, each stamped with the MLB breast cancer awareness logo.
Pink bats, identical to the ones swung by Major Leaguers on Sunday, are also available for purchase at the MLB.com Shop. The cost is $69.99 per bat, with $10 of each sale going to Komen for the Cure.
All players and on-field personnel will attach pink ribbons to their uniforms on Sunday. Some will also be wearing pink wristbands, pink batting gloves, pink wrist protectors and pink Phiten Titanium necklaces/bracelets. Though he's unlikely to take the field, Garcia will also be donning pink cleats.
Worth noting
After starting each of the first 33 games this season, Matt Holliday was out of the lineup on Sunday. Taking his place in left field was Allen Craig, who last played the position in Game 7 of the World Series.
Braves third baseman Chipper Jones, who announced he will retire after the 2012 season, was honored by the Cardinals on Sunday, his last regular-season game at Busch Stadium. Rafael Furcal, a former teammate of Jones', presented Jones with a photo signed by various members of the organization. Adam Wainwright, a Georgia native and former Braves farmhand, handed Jones an autographed Stan Musial jersey.
Jones left the field to a standing ovation, tipping his cap several times during the ceremony.
"I've always enjoyed coming here, and the fan base in St. Louis is part of that," Jones said. "You can have an opposing player hit three home runs against the Cardinals, and these fans will give him an ovation for a job well done. It's nice to play in a city where good baseball is appreciated. Other teams enjoy coming in here to play because they get to entertain some pretty intelligent fans."
Because the game will be televised on ESPN, the Cardinals-Cubs contest on Monday will begin at 6:05 p.m. CT. That is 70 minutes earlier than the normal weeknight start time at Busch Stadium.
Manager Mike Matheny reiterated on Sunday that he will consider using Carlos Beltran in center field when he needs to give Jon Jay a day off. Beltran has made 1,555 career starts in center field, but none since 2010.
J.C. Romero twisted his right ankle slightly while struggling to grip his cleat in the dirt mound on Saturday but said that his ankle feels fine. He was briefly checked on by Matheny and trainer Greg Hauck.

10 Weird Things You Never Knew Came in Peeps Form
Known as one of the healthier fast-food chains, Subway restaurants recently made headlines for baking their bread with azodicarbonamide (ADA), the chemical that makes yoga mats and flip-flops foamy and pliable. Even though the restaurant is removing ADA, it's found in 500 other processed foods because it extends shelf life and reduces costs. Although the FDA generally recognizes ADA as safe (GRAS), there are other chemicals in your food that may make your stomach turn, both figuratively and literally. Read on for the surprising truth.
Mountain Dew, Fanta, Powerade and more contain brominated vegetable oil (BVO), a stabilizing ingredient that evenly distributes the flavorings throughout the liquid. But BVO is also a flame retardant, typically sprayed on furniture and couches. Though there are few studies on the effects of BVO on humans, excessive BVO intake may lead to memory loss as well as skin and nerve damage. In fact, Japan and Europe have already banned the chemical—the U.S. may follow suit soon.

Rush Limbaugh realizes you don't become America's most popular radio talk-show host without having the hide of an elephant. And he's long subscribed to a theory: His 21 million listeners know him and love him, and the other 280 million Americans, well, they don't pay the bills.
"My objective is to satisfy [my] audience so they come back the next day," Limbaugh told TODAY national correspondent Jamie Gangel in a wide-ranging, three-hour interview, excerpts of which air on TODAY Monday and Tuesday.
"Most of my critics don't even listen to me; they are clueless," Limbaugh said. "They just go to Web sites that report what I say out of context. I'm amazed at the Democrats and the media who do not know what's going on in my world. I know what's going on in theirs. I study 'em. I watch 'em every day."
Indeed, while Limbaugh is first and foremost — he says solely — an entertainer who keeps listeners tuned in, his brand of liberal-baiting, on-air politics has made him a lightning rod. Perhaps the coup de grace came earlier this year, when White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel suggested Limbaugh may well now be the standard-bearer for the Republican Party.
The 58-year-old Limbaugh, who's working through a whopping $400 million contract that will keep him on the airwaves through 2016, first laughed off Emanuel's christening. Then he considered the source.
"I am not the leader of the Republican Party; don't wanna be the leader of the Republican Party," Limbaugh told Gangel. "It's silly for them to keep talking about how I'm the leader of anything."
But he was shocked when Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele picked up the ball lofted by Emanuel and lashed out at Limbaugh, calling his conservative rhetoric "incendiary" and "ugly"
"Michael Steele should be out there raising money and planning on ways to get people to vote for Republicans," Limbaugh said. "Instead, he's agreeing with false premises put forth by critics of the Republican Party and trying to agree with them."
Still, when it comes to name-calling between liberals and conservatives, Limbaugh demonstrated on TODAY he's up for the game. He told Gangel: "There's a cliché about conservatives: racist, sexist, bigot, homophobic. Now, you announce you're a conservative, you're automatically all those things to the critics. Even though you're not, that's what they say you are.
"They are the real racist, sexist, bigots and homophobes. They are the ones that look at people and see skin color, gender, sex orientation, victim, group.
"They think they can discredit the Republican Party by making me the head of it. All they're doing is elevating me."
Serious or satirist?
And also leaving Limbaugh laughing all the way to the bank. Having a Democrat in the White House no doubt leaves Limbaugh with at least four years of rich material to draw upon — and ensure his radio ratings remain intact.
Limbaugh told Gangel his daily, three-hour radio show is equal parts satire and serious commentary, but his detractors confuse the two. He points to the controversy over a parody song about President Obama titled "Barack the Magic Negro" as an example of the media's hammering him without having their facts straight.
Limbaugh said he'd "never heard of the term" until he read a column by a black Los Angeles Times writer, David Ehrenstein, that called Obama a "magic Negro" for assuaging the guilt of whites. "I love to parody the left," Limbaugh said. "I love making fun of them. The L.A. Times called him that. I'm just repeating it." Even so, Limbaugh said he's spent nearly two years trying to explain himself about the parody.
So how does Limbaugh truly feel about Obama? Limbaugh came under fire earlier this year when in a speech at a Conservative Political Action Conference, he said of Obama, "I hope he fails."
Limbaugh said his intent at the time was to "tweak the media. I know how to yank their chain. I know how to send them into insanity. I know how to make them spend the next two days talking about me."
Limbaugh told Gangel of Obama, "He's my president, too. I want, you know, I want this country to succeed."
Still, the bones Limbaugh has to pick with Obama could fill a cemetery. Among other criticisms, Limbaugh calls Obama's stimulus bill "an absolute disaster," and said his prediction that Obama's victory would actually heighten racial discord in this country has proven all too accurate.
"Any criticism of President Obama is going to be said to be oriented in racism," he told Gangel. "And if you don't like his health care bill, it's racist. If you don't like his cap-and-trade, it's racist.
"There's a race industry in the country," he added. "They make money off it. They have fame and fortune off of it. And I predicted exactly what's happened."
When Gangel asked Limbaugh if there is any good Obama has done, Limbaugh paused for nearly 20 seconds before saying, "Maybe — I can't think of it." Then he proceeded to damn Obama with faint praise: "Got a great voice — great, great voice," he said. "Reads a teleprompter like no one I've ever seen."
Limbaugh admitted that he was briefly moved seeing America elect its first African-American president, "but I got over it pretty quickly. His skin color doesn't matter to me. His policies are what matters."
Politics or show biz?
While Limbaugh insists he is in show business and not in politics, the line became blurred in February 2008 when he announced "Operation Chaos." On air, Limbaugh urged Republicans to cross party lines and vote in the Democratic primaries for Hillary Clinton, who at the time was being drubbed by Obama. His belief was it would throw the road to the Democratic presidential nomination into disarray.
While some might consider it a serious foray into using his influence to affect a political outcome, Limbaugh dismisses such talk, telling Gangel it was little more than a lark: "It was mostly a bit to keep my audience entertained." But he admitted he wanted to keep the heat turned on Obama in the Democratic primaries so the media would continue to question his positions. As Obama built an early lead, Limbaugh said the media was "puff-piecing" the future president.
He also denied he cost Republican nominee John McCain votes by persistently deriding him during the election, saying, "I'm too big of a realist — I couldn't have helped McCain no matter what I did."
In his TODAY interview, Limbaugh largely followed his radio playbook — lashing out at moderate Republicans as much as liberal Democrats. He acknowledged he preaches to the conservative choir on his broadcasts, and that theirs is a mutual love affair
"I turn them on — I turn people on," Limbaugh said. "I educate them. I inform them. Republican moderates bore them silly. Have you ever been to the library and looked for the book 'Great Moderates in American History'? You won't find 'em."

Top Department of Veterans Affairs officials had incentives to spend money rather than control costs for two employee-training conferences that wasted hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars.
Most of the $6.1 million spent on the conferences came from accounts that normally fund veterans' health care.
|VA Secretary Eric Shinseki should end the agency's 'culture that does not question the expenditure of funds and cannot account for them once they are spent.' - Rep. Bob Filner, D-CA
Annual performance plans of the two highest-ranking executives in charge of the conferences made a top priority of spending as much as possible from VA's human resources training and recruitment accounts, according to the agency's Inspector General in a report issued last week.
Nothing was said about controlling costs.
As much as $762,000 was wasted on the two conferences held last year in Orlando, according to the IG.
VA officials refused to comment for this story.
Seventeen other VA employees involved in planning and conducting the conferences received more than $43,000 worth of bonuses and paid time-off for their work on the events. The bonuses ranged from $750 to $5,500.
Several were even rewarded for things the IG condemned as wasteful, including production of a Patton parody video. The unidentified employee behind the parody got a $4,000 bonus.
"I find it infuriating that VA would have the nerve to incentivize this type of waste when our veterans are continually struggling to receive care," said Rep. Jeff Miller, R-Fla., chairman of the House Committee on Veterans Affairs. "Apparently they are quick to reward irresponsible behavior."
Miller has called for the removal of VA Chief of Staff John Gingrich, the top official singled out for criticism by the IG.
Rep. Bob Filner, D-Calif., the top Democrat on the House veterans affairs panel, echoed demands for reform.
VA Secretary Eric Shinseki should end the agency's "culture that does not question the expenditure of funds and cannot account for them once they are spent," Filner said in a written statement.
John Sepulveda, VA's top human resources executive, resigned the day before the IG report was released last week.
Sepulveda's top accomplishment, according to his 2011 performance review, was spending the entire $300 million budget of an agency training account, the IG said.
Another senior VA executive, Alice Muellerweiss, was encouraged in a 2011 performance plan to spend at least 80 percent of a $284 million training account, with no mention of insuring efficiency. Such incentives likely encouraged wasteful spending, the IG said.
Five unnamed VA employees who helped plan the conferences got bonuses for "keeping senior leadership aware of conference issues," according to the IG.
Those bonuses contradicted post-conference claims by top VA officials that they weren't told by underlings about wasteful spending.
Five other unnamed employees got bonuses for controlling costs. Muellerweiss approved at least some of the awards, according to the IG report.
Funding for the Orlando conferences came through VA's ADVANCE program in the department's human resources office. The program funds things like training, recruitment and retention.
But about 94 percent of the money for ADVANCE - $271.3 million - came from the Veterans Health Administration, the arm of the agency that provides health care to veterans, according to the IG.
The VA's budget is $140 billion this year, with $53 billion for health care and $75 billion for veterans' pensions and disability payments.
The department is battling a processing backlog of nearly 900,000 disability and pension claims, about two-thirds of which are older than 125 days, the agency's goal for completion.
American Legion National Commander James Koutz told The Washington Examiner he does not begrudge the VA conferences, but he believes "the priorities are not in order."
"We need to be more focused on maybe just having a meeting then getting back to work so we can stop this backlog of claims for our veterans," he said.

Polish Traverse Climber's Log
[ Sign the Climber's Log ]
|Old School WB
|failed solo attempt
|February 16, 1997 failed solo attempt up False Polish Glacier Route on Aconcagua. My slow acclimatization kept me lower (managed to save a solo climber's life who was probably dying of pulmonary edema, you're welcome) than my two team mates (Philippe G./ Thomas B.) Phil and Tom summitted via the False Polish route on Feb. 14. I left our camp below the Polish Glacier for a solo attempt on Feb. 16.
Cruised to the Independencia hut, but then the weather began to deteriorate. My traverse of the Gran Acarreo was in near whiteout conditions, with high winds and this is where I began to suffer from high altitude sickness. I managed to scramble up to the top of La Canaleta, when my condition, and the weather, became very serious.
Sitting alone in a complete whiteout with the temperature likely below -30 degrees Celsius with probably 80 km/hour winds and feeling like my worst hangover ever (no energy, strong desire to vomit, severe headache) a group descending from the summit approached. Their leader, a friendly English speaking policeman from Medoza (who had just completed his fourth Aconcagua summit) told me that the weather was only going to get worse and likely the Viento Blanco could occur. I assured the gentleman I was fine as they moved on. I just sat there the next half hour, sort of aware of my position, completely alone, questioning what I should do. Eventually I descended.
I am guessing I reached 6900 metres (?). For about ten years it really bothered me that I didn't push on, and thought about returning to Aconcagua. Now, with a family and a busy career, I am happy to pursue local summits. But maybe when I retire ;-)

|I went with Alpine Ascents so we had 4 camps rather than the usual 2 or 3. Very high winds meant we had to take an extra 4 days in Plaza Argentina. I really enjoyed the climb. Up to that point, the highest I had been was the top of Whitney.

|Started from Camp 2 at around 630am. Reached the summit almost 9 hrs later. Didn't stay more than 2 minutes on it, as bad weather was moving in. I climbed solo and was the last person on summit that day. In fact, I didn't see a soul, not even from distance, as descended back to camp in snow. Great trip. Was a part of Brad Marshall's 2006/2007 expedition. Special thanks to Brad and Sue for organizing the trip.

|See the report on our multi-page expedition web site. This expedition traversed the mountain (up the Polish side, down Ruta Normal), spent 40 hours 5 folks in a 3-man tent at 20,300 ft getting blown to bits by the Vente Blanca, but did not summit.

great app. new feature request: single or double-clicking volume icon should toggle mute.
also, to facilitate this i propose that mixer does not appear on single-click, but is instead displayed by right-click context menu.

Why does volwheel always jump up to 75% instantly if scroll up while the volume is 0%?
@fivre: I used "sleep 2s && xwininfo" so that I could bring up the mixer and then click on it. This is what I got:

hy guys i need help my volwheel ist working. In terminal i get: amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such device amixer is instaled, sound working fine (only sound starts always muted).
please help.
I'm after another arch installation, after installing volwheel drom community it gives me following error:
Can't locate Glib.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.1 /usr/share/perl5/site_perl/5.10.1 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/core_perl /usr/share/perl5/core_perl /usr/lib/perl5/current /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/current .) at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/Gtk2.pm line 30.

Oh, it worked after glib-perl reinstallation ;f

This app is a little gem! It makes so much difference having the volume control right there on the sys tray! Thanks for developing it!
I have only one suggestion: it could use the user icon theme, instead of using its own themeing system, if it uses the set_from_icon_name method of Gtk2::StatusIcon, instead of set_from_file method. According to the freedesktop.org spec, the icon names should be "audio-volume-high", "audio-volume-low", "audio-volume-medium" and "audio-volume-muted" for the dynamic icon and "multimedia-volume-control" for the static.
What do you think?
Exceptional usefull tool but I have a small problem however. I use foobar2K with wine (because frankly, there is NO player in linux that has the same power in a gui) and when I start it, my tint flickers and then volwheel is gone. Is there a logfile or something for volwheel so I can check what's up?
It's a very good program.
But in my machine, there is a bug. When I trying to change the volume, it uses a lot of CPU.
It's a very good program.
But in my machine, there is a bug. When I trying to change the volume, it uses a lot of CPU.
In mine too.. I'm using pekwm and my machine it's a msiwind u100...
Big thanks for you program.
I have a slow animation in icon and sliders, but good what sound's volume is changing faster than animation Maybe it's because i haven't gstreamer?
Yesterday volwheel was not functionning properly, being very unresponsive, with high latency. Today it looks like volume bar can scrolled fast. Strange. If it works like this, it's fine otherwise I would to find another volume controler. I use it on fluxbox.
Today I recognized an error:
defined(@array) is deprecated at /usr/bin/volwheel line 45.
(Maybe you should just omit the defined()?)
I know that the message is pretty much selfexplaining but I still don't know what/how I have to change the line 45.
The problem could be solved by changing line 45 from
if (defined(@ARGV)) {
if (@ARGV) {
I wrote the developer an email and he replied me the solution -so all credits belong to him

This applet seems pretty nice, but I noticed one dealbreaking issue for me. There seems to be a huge latency when using it to change the volume, the slider is extremely unresponsive.

Hey guys, helpful IC tidbit here.
Roll Xd6.hitsopen(4,6). It'll reroll 6s and then count all the dice 4 and above and give you a convenient number of hits.
Use Xd6o6h4.
o is for Open, it rolls them over and over until you get a not-6. e6 just rerolls 6s once, even if another 6 comes up.
I made a table for expected results up to 6 battle dice. Cells without values have probabilities below 0.1%. There is some rounding, so the values won't be exact, but they'll be close enough for most purposes.
Okay, that made me double-check my invite PM. Invites are out to: Holofernes, lodwilk, Nought, susan
Should any of them be unable to join us, though, Spawnbroker is next up to clear the newb list. Given the late Thursday evening notice, they've got until noon EST Monday to confirm. Hopefully we'll get this started sooner than that, though.
Hey Khorne, if you help ruin the Empire this turn it'll screw over Slaanesh somethin' fierce.
