Meniscus tears refer to a tear in the shock-absorbing cartilage (meniscus) of the knee.
Tear - meniscus; Knee injury - meniscus; Knee cartilage tear
The meniscus is a C-shaped piece of cartilage located in the knee. Cartilage is found in certain joints and forms a buffer between the bones to protect the joint. The meniscus serves as a shock-absorption system, assists in lubricating the knee joint, and limits the ability to flex and extend the joint.
Meniscal tears are most commonly caused by twisting or over-flexing the knee joint.
The health care provider will perform a physical examination. This will include a knee examine called the McMurray's test. For this test, you lie on your back while the health care provider holds the heel of your injured leg with your leg bent. Pressure is placed to compress the knee while the leg is rotated in and out to generate discomfort or pain. Pain or a click over the inner part of the joint means an inner (medial) meniscal tear.
For an Apley's compression test, the health care provider will have you lie on your stomach with your knee bent at a 90 degree angle. The provider will hold your foot with both hands and rotate it to the outside (lateral rotation), while a downward force is applied to the foot. The provider's knee and thigh may be used to stabilize your thigh. Pain in the inner part of the joint may indicate an inner (medial) meniscal tear.
The health care provider may ask you to squat down. Pain at extreme flexion and inability to do so may allow the provider to localize the injury.
A test for excess joint fluid is positive in meniscal tears, indicating swelling with fluid around the joint.
Other tests that show meniscus tears may include:
The goal of treatment is to reduce symptoms and protect the joint from further injury while it heals.
You should not put your full weight on the knee. You may need to use crutches. You may have been given a knee brace. This helps keep your knee from moving and to help you recover.
Other treatments include:
Physical activity is allowed, as tolerated. Physical therapy is recommended to help regain joint and leg strength.
If the injury is
Do NOT put all your weight on your leg if it is painful.
Do not put all your weight on your leg if your health care provider told you not to do so.
Call your health care provider if symptoms of a meniscus tear occur after an injury to the knee.
Call your health care provider if you are being treated for a meniscus tear and:
Call your health care provide if your knee locks and you cannot straighten it.
Use proper technique when exercising or playing sports. Many cases of meniscus tears may not be preventable.

Inside a Sophisticated Michigan Cabin
Small rooms demand creative storage, yet Tim Cuppett and Marco Rini took a counterintuitive approach by putting pretty much all of their belongings on display when they bought their circa-1850 fixer-upper seven years ago in Austin. "Everything here is a reflection of us," Cuppett notes, "And prompts us to reflect more."
In this photo: The kitchen's floor-to-ceiling shelves—accessible by rolling ladder—hold tons of tableware. The wall is painted Land of Liberty by Benjamin Moore.
What would entice someone to move from a modern loft—a loft that same person describes as "sleek and minimalist, like an art gallery"— to a house listed on the National Register of Historic Places? It certainly wasn't the old house's meager 1,200 square feet that sold Austin architect Cuppett. Nor, he says, was it the "carved-up rooms," the "unfortunate kitchen," or the "garden of weeds and pea gravel."
No, it was something intangible yet inarguable that led Cuppett's partner, landscape designer Rini, to declare "We'll take it!" before he and Cuppett had even toured all the rooms or asked the price. "The house had a soul," Cuppett explains.

Does the Big Data Solution Exist?
- February 26, 2014
What is a Big Data solution and what does it take to make a project successful? Perform your own experiment by posing this question to technology companies in the Big Data space. Then pose the same question to the pure service providers that are focused on Big Data. Finally, pose the same question to a few customers. Here is what I have found:
Technology providers will talk in terms of their specific contribution to the solution. Let's think of the architectural stack from the bottom up. In the simplest terms, the Big Data solution is enabled by the infrastructure, the platform for the analytics to be performed, data software (which includes everything from data ingestion to statistical analysis), the visualization of the data, and the applications that depend on this solution. It is the sum of the parts, which no one vendor has, which makes up the enabling technologies that is "Big Data."
Service providers will talk in terms of business needs to understand what value there is in the data (e.g., use case discoveries, the data science engagements, proof-of-value offerings, implementation assistance, and application development).
Customers interested in Big Data are looking to simplify things to get to the incremental and previously unattainable insights that are the promise of Big Data. That journey, however, is a very complex one and one that is not without risk. The customer answer depends on who you ask. Ask IT and they may talk technology and the partners they prefer. Ask the application team or analytics team and your answers will straddle both the business value discussions and the technology needed to get to those answers. Lastly, the more progressive line of business decision makers aren't interested in the complexities that make up a Big Data solution, but they are interested in the game changing insight that will allow them to create new service offerings or help to make the business more efficient as a result of the analytics being performed.
Is it now time to say that all of these answers combined is what makes up a Big Data solution? Not quite. Compliance and security are considerations businesses must address. Add to this, the deployment options which include on-premise bare metal, on-premise private cloud, a private secured cloud, a hybrid approach with both data center and cloud resources available, and finally public options like Amazon, Google, AT&T, and others. Not to mention, the talent needed to do this all in-house by customers of all sizes isn't readily available.
The war to win in the Big Data space is being waged and customers are in the middle of it. Continuing the analogy further, customers would like to sit the war out and have the Big Data solution provided to them, removing the confusion, complexity and concern.
Now ask yourself the question, "What is a Big Data solution and what does it take to make your project successful?" Now the answer…it's easier than you think. Ask yourself who has the technology expertise, services capabilities, customer proof points, provide flexibility in deployment, and has the option to provide all of this in a managed service so that you pay for just what you use. Those who provide "The Big Data Solution" exist. You just need to ask the right questions and look in the right places for those answers.

Alan has a unique combination of Big Data and Cloud experience by working over the last decade at both a Hadoop distribution company and VMware. Both companies doubled revenue year over year with the partnerships playing a significant role in the adoption of both Hadoop and virtualization respectively.

Fight Over Hot Pocket Escalates to Kidnapping
A sixteen-year-old was arrested in Brooklyn on Wednesday for kidnapping the daughter of an acquaintance after the acquaintance "smacked" her for eating the last of his hot pockets. Yes! That is what happened, according to the Staten Island Advance, which cites "a law enforcement source"; the suspect, one Aliyah Austin—"a transient from Brooklyn"—was, in fact, briefly cohabitating with the unnamed "acquaintance" and apparently providing babysitting services. ("The source," the Advance tell us, "could not immediately say how Ms. Austin met the victim's father.") In any case, it was the fateful hot pocket-related "smack" (surely that qualifies as domestic abuse?) that set this particular wheel in motion:
Apparently bent on revenge, Ms. Austin waited until the man went to work Tuesday afternoon.
About 7 p.m., she grabbed the little girl and left, said the source. They made their way from Mersereau Avenue to the Staten Island Ferry and ultimately to the apartment of the suspect's friend in Brooklyn...
Ms. Austin texted the man and taunted him with Facebook messages, said the source.
"If you want your baby back, meet me at the rock," she texted, according to the source.
Texting, of course, is not a particularly confidential method of communication, and authorities were able to track down Ms. Austin via her cell phone signal. The source—who, it should be said, seems rather sympathetic toward and perhaps even somewhat protective of the physically-abusive "acquaintance"—was unable to say with any certainty where, exactly "the rock" is, but it may be "the slang name for Staten Island," or perhaps "the Rockaways in Queens." In any event, it seems necessary to say that where scarce hot pocket resources are concerned, open and honest communication between parties is much more effective than "smacking" and will result in vastly fewer kidnappings.

Featuring "adventures in time and space told in future tense", Dimension X aired over NBC from April 8, 1950, through September 29, 1951.

"Past visions of the Future"
This is pretty much what you'd expect from a 1950s scifi radio drama- lots of ponderous speechifications by the characters about the nature of man and life and what it means to be human.
After apocalyptic nuclear war in 1991 drenches the surface of the Earth in radiation, humanity goes underground for over 2000 years, paying very close attention to genetically optimal breeding. Apparently in our underground oasis in the year 4195, we will be using rotary phones and operators to connect calls and people will talk like Ward and June Cleaver but a fun story nonetheless. Interesting take on evolution (though its not referred to as such) but I am not sure the science holds up.

mad libs: "Rex Ryan is smitten with _________" (provide defensive player's name)
Sorry if already posted.
NFL Draft 2013: Rex Ryan 'smitten' with Barkevious MingoBy JP Starkey on Apr 15 2013, 9:23a @jpstarkey +
Stay connected with SB Nation Derick E. Hingle-US PRESSWIRE
Rex Ryan is reportedly smitten with Barkevious Mingo and the Jets could be targeting the former LSU defensive end with the No. 9 overall pick.
The New York Jets have many needs entering the 2013 NFL Draft and could take a number of different prospects with the No. 9 overall pick. Jets head coach Rex Ryan is "smitten" with LSU's Barkevious Mingo, according to Sports Illustrated's Peter King -- and Mingo could be New York's pick at No. 9 overall.
More: Barkevious Mingo scouting report | Jets blog: Gang Green Nation | Mingo might not be available for the Jets at No. 9 overall, however. In SB Nation's latest mock draft, the Arizona Cardinals are projected to take the LSU DE/OLB with the No. 7 overall pick. The Jets are projected to select former West Virginia wide receiver Tavon Austin with the No. 9 overall pick, and then former Alabama guard Chance Warmack with the No. 13 pick -- assuming New York trades Darrelle Revis to Tampa Bay in exchange for the Buccaneers' first-round pick.
SB Nation's Matthew Fairburn compared Mingo to Dallas Cowboys outside linebacker DeMarcus Ware in Mingo's scouting report, calling Mingo's upside "through the roof," and says Mingo "more than warrants a top-ten pick."
Mingo's numbers were underwhelming in 2012, as the former LSU defensive end recorded 38 tackles, including 8.5 tackles for loss and 4.5 sacks. Despite only recording 4.5 sacks, Fairburn believes that Mingo generated plenty of pass rush and that the sack total simply doesn't tell the story.
It's not a surprise that Rex Ryan is smitten with Mingo, as most coaches in the NFL probably are. It's feasible, however, that Mingo could slip to No. 9, and if he does, the Jets could pounce on him.
mad libs: "Rex Ryan is smitten with _________" (provide defensive player's name)
Good... we desperately need an OLB and mingo is the prototypical 3-4 OLB
Mingo is the guy I want the most. Would be ecstatic with this pick. Hopefully its not a smokescreen
Luckily, for us, Rex is now a eunuch. Idzik is running the show.
So I hope.
Not really a fan, but Rex knows a helluva lot more about defense than I do.
Dear Peter
You may not have noticed, what with your head firmly implanted in your boyfriend Belishyte's sphincter but during the offseason the Jets hired a new GM and Rex will no longer be making the final decisions in the Jets draft war room.
Hope this helps you avoid continuing to make an imbecile of yourself as far as NFL reporting is concerned
he will be the next V gholston-jets should stay away and they have drafted enough guys on D early on-get your offense some weapons and improve the line
Based on how engaged Rex has been all off-season, combine, pro days, private workouts, FA signings, etc, Rex is very much involved, despite what SOJF's and fans who don't have a clue will try to tell us.
I'll be happy with any of the 4 top OLBs. I don't think Rex has anything to do with the choice, but I'll be glad if he approves. I don't think the fact that Rex is no longer the GM means he has no balls however. I'm pretty sure Rex would rather coach anyway.
Hopefully this is a smokescreen.
There are about 15 guys I would be "OK" with at the 9 spot. Mingo is certainly on that list. Its not like Rex has messed up with Coples and MoWilk. But i personally prefer guys that I have watched in college that looked dominant. Coples had moments of sheer domination in college and everyone know that with the right coaching he would be a stud. Mingo never really impressed me in college. I was more impressed from what I saw from Jordan/Jones/Star/Millner. So if any of those guys drop and we still take Mingo i will be a little dissapointed but I won't lose any sleep over it.
The only thing that concerns mw about Mingo is that I heard he wants to be a DE, not a LBer. I don't really care what he wants. He doesn't have the hips to be a DE, but it concerns me that he would voice his displeasure. That is if he really did say it. I'm not positive.

I have an HWND and I want to dock it to the screen like this:
Dock example with Google Desktop Sidebar
Stuff to know:
Maximized windows won't cover the docked window's area.
Desktop icons will move a bit to the right so they won't be covered by the docked window. (If it's docked to the left and icons are aligned to the left)
Desktop icons will move a bit down if the window is docked to the top.
Docked windows can be docked to top, bottom, left and right.
The Taskbar is a window that is docked to the bottom.
I tried searching for codes to do that, but none of them worked or did what I want.
Can someone give me an example code to dock an HWND like that?
Thanking in advance,

Geography is the study of the world and all that is in it: its peoples, its land, air, and water, its plants and animals, and all the connections among its various parts. When you are investigating the world and its events you are dealing with geography. As you move through space in your everyday life you are observing and interacting with geography and making geographic decisions based on those encounters. You may not be aware of it but you are involved in geographic inquiry. (Source: ESRI)
The Geography area of emphasis at Volunteer State Community College includes both physical and human aspects of spatial analysis. Students will complete core general education courses such as English and Math (both of which have geographic components), and courses ranging from history to geology. In the recommended area of emphasis students will focus on introductory geography courses: World Regional Geography (GEOG 105), Physical Geography (GEOG 101) and Cultural Geography (GEOG 108). Within these courses students will discover that there is more than rote memorization involved with geographic studies; characteristics, relationships, processes, patterns, distribution and regions are just a few of the facets addressed in geography classes. Moreover, these courses stress higher-order critical thinking and help students develop problem solving skills.

ORLANDO, FL -- Around 26,500 participants from 102 nations registered for this year's IAAPA Attractions Expo, compared with 25,800 people from 118 nations at last year's trade show, a 2.7% increase in registration numbers. The annual amusement and attractions industry trade show is sponsored and owned by the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions, which held this year's event from Nov. 12 to 16 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, FL.
IAAPA Attractions Expo is the largest conference and trade show representing the attractions industry, which is estimated to be as large as $24 billion worldwide. The annual event serves as the global meeting and market places for industry members to learn, discuss trends and hot topics, test new products, sample food and beverages, and develop experiences for the future.
The association said this year's trade show had the largest floor area in four years and largest outdoor space in 10 years; the concurrent fall educational program saw a 14% increase in attendance over last year's.
"The dynamic show floor was filled with innovative products, comprehensive education sessions were filled to capacity and countless business connections were established throughout the week," cheered IAAPA president and chief executive Chip Cleary. For Orlando, the five-day exposition had a $48 million economic impact, the association estimates.
Following are some IAAPA show statistics reported by the association:
» 1,167 companies displayed new products and services on 494,770 net square feet of trade show floor space, including an outdoor exhibit area of 57,150 net square feet.
» 15,800 total qualified buyers included executives from amusement parks, water parks and family entertainment centers, as well as zoos, aquariums, museums, science centers, resorts and roadside attractions from around the world.
» 9,100 people participated in 115 education programs consisting of multiple-day institutes, behind-the-scenes tours, panel and roundtable discussions, and half-day symposiums.
» More than 1,800 people attended the 2012 expo's Kickoff Event, the official opening session of the exposition that provides an update on the association and industry's recent accomplishments, and plans for 2013.
» 1,200 showgoers took part in the expo's opening reception.
» 450 industry leaders heard the keynote address by Jim Reid-Anderson, chief executive and chairman of Six Flags Entertainment Corp.
» During IAAPA Celebrates at Universal Studios Florida, 1,785 people enjoyed Despicable Me Minion Mayhem, The Simpsons Ride, Men in Black Alien Attack, Shrek 4-D and Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit.
» 350 young professionals attended a reception at Fat Fish Blue Restaurant.
» $94,000 was raised for Give Kids The World, the Kissimmee, FL-based resort for children with life-threatening illnesses.
The 2012 IAAPA show was first to be held under the scrutiny of the association's new copyright and trademark protection policy. IAAPA reported that its intellectual property staff addressed 40 cases that involved the removal of product, catalogs and posters from the trade show floor, among other content issues that involved potential violations of the IP policy.
Under the new policy, exhibitors at the attractions exposition and other IAAPA events, as well as advertisers in IAAPA publications, are required to sign an agreement that they will comply with the association's rules and procedures on intellectual property. The policy went into effect on June 1. | SEE STORY
IAAPA awards presented at the 2012 attractions exposition were:
» Hall of Fame Awards, which acknowledge industry leaders around the world.
» Service Awards, for service to the association and industry.
» Brass Ring Awards, which recognize the best in new products, show exhibits, marketing, retail, live entertainment, human resources, food and beverages, and family entertainment centers.
Ocean Park Hong Kong SAR of China won the Liseberg Applause Award, the theme park industry's top honor. The award, the industry's version of an Oscar, is presented every other year (Dolly Parton accepted it on behalf of Dollywood two years ago).
The award is named after the famous amusement park in Gothenburg, Sweden, that opened in 1923; it honors a park whose management, operations and creative accomplishments have inspired the industry with foresight, originality and sound business development. Liseberg is one of the most visited amusement parks in Scandinavia, attracting about 3 million visitors annually.
IAAPA Attractions Expo 2013 will be held from Nov. 18 to 22, once again in Orlando, FL.

>Running 101>How should I be logging my runs?
Forgive me for the n00b question, but I can't find an answer anywhere on the RunningAHEAD site.
I recently started running again (about 6 weeks ago) after injuring myself in a car accident, and decided I needed to keep up with my runs because, to be quite honest, keeping up with the data is a big motivating factor for me.
I have exercise-induced asthma, so I'm starting small by training for a 5k (which is coming up this Saturday). I've mostly been doing 3 mile runs, 3-4 times a week, improving on my pace weekly.
My question is this. I've been categorizing most of my runs as "easy" on my training log because that's the default setting. These runs don't feel "easy" to me... I mean, I usually don't feel like ralphing afterward but I do feel that I've pushed myself at the end of the day. Looking at others' training logs, I've noticed all different kinds of categories and colors. I've mostly been running indoors on a treadmill as the south Georgia heat is not kind to me on runs, and as a beginner I enjoy the machine telling me exactly how I'm doing. Should I be categorizing my runs differently? Does it even really matter in the grand scheme of things?
Maggie & Molly
congrats on getting back into the running game! I customized my runs to fit my needs. One of my choices is a medium run. For me that means running at around a 9:30 - 10:00 pace for someone else that would be a slow run. Make the choices to fit you and go from there. If you are feeling it at the end of your three miles then rate it that way. Good luck on your 5K this weekend.
"It does not matter how slow you go so long as you do not stop."Wisdom of Confucius
What Cherrie said is fine, or just keep logging them as easy. It probably doesn't matter until you decide to differentiate the ways you are actually running. Good luck in your 5K and your continuing progress!
Well at least someone here is making relevance to the subject. - S.J.
as long as you know what is there and it works for you and motivates you, you can log it however you want thats the beauty of it. if you continue to log them as easy runs, you can "fine tune" it by using the star ratings or making comments, that way its as accurate as you want it to be.
and welcome to our little slice of heaven!
Do you have a weekly plan for your running? Are you training based on time or distance? Is there any variety to your runs or are you just getting 3 miles in as quickly as possible?
I would use those questions to determine how to log your runs. If there isn't any variety to your run then you don't need different ways to log a run.
"It's a must that you outwork your competition today! Think training is hard? Try losing!" Eric Thomas
I recently re-did my running organization from "steady pace", which was basically 'easy' under an alias, to being 30-second increments so I can categorize them by something that makes real sense. I may also add in sub categories onto each one and rename them, i.e. "9-9.30 easy", "9-9.30 difficult". It's a process. This whole log is built a beautiful way where it can do anything you need it to-- get creative.
Gotta Flee Em All
I just name my runs after beer.
I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.
Poor baby
I just drink beer after my runs.

I log mine alphabetically.
That's Ms Squeak to you!
Hehe it *is* fun to play around a bit with how you name your runs. My race runs are called "Race Zoom Zoom!" (yes, with the exclamation mark)
You could call your "easy" runs "Focussed Stagger"... that's certainly how my runs have been lately, since I took a stupid amount of time off and have had trouble getting back into it. Or even "Zombie Shuffle". Um, yeah. I wanna go change mine to that now. LOL.
Good luck getting your non-easy runs to easy runs... listen to your body and don't be afraid to take walk breaks during your run if you need to. Mostly what matters is just getting out there!
A Saucy Wench
Categorize them in whatever way is meaningful to you. I believe for a brief period I had "disaster" and "thebestIcould" as categories
Whatever you call it, make sure some of those runs actually feel easy. People have all kinds of categories because they use all kinds of effort levels.

My Hands-On Review Of 2010 thirtytwo Focus Boa Snowboard Boots. Are These The Best Snowboard Boots… Ever?
Updated: June 11th, 2015
In this review I'm going to take a look at a pair of 2010 thirtytwo Focus Boa snowboard boots that I picked up a few weeks ago, after spending a day demoing them in the snow at a resort in Tahoe.
Even though I am an avid snowboarder (I try to go to the snow almost every weekend during the winter), I haven't evaluated my gear in years. This season, however, I decided to take a look at my options with the snowboard boots.

It was only after the shoelace on one of my 5 year old Salomon Dialogue boots snapped that I even considered checking out other boots. I was always *kind of* happy with …

I had my first false positive today: the file nvappbar.exe was identified as the virus Email-wWorm.Win32.Small.f.
In fact this is a legitimate nVidia file (the nView Toolbar) and has already been identified as a false positive on the Kaspersky forum, which says something will be done about it soon.My question is, what do I do about it in the meantime?
If I put it on the list of exceptions ZASS lists it not by file name and path,
but by the name of the virus which it is not--this means if I add it to exceptions that virus--the real one--can get in, doesn't it?
So how to I get ZASS to leave nvappbar.exe alone while still detecting real viruses?

First Zero Turn Electric Riding Mower
With the interest in reducing pollution and lowering our carbon foot prints, electric mowers have been gaining in popularity. Electric mowers emit less pollution, are quieter, and, with new technology, have become easier to use. While push electric mowers have been on the market for years, it was only a matter of time before an electric riding mower would show up.
The Zeon zero-turn electric riding mower has all the benefits of your tradition zero-turn mower, but without the noise and exhaust fumes, and with fewer moving parts. This mower uses DC batteries to run the mower blades on the 42-inch deck and AC batteries to drive the wheels. Gone are the belts, hydraulic hoses and controls, pulleys, and PTO clutch. Speed and direction are controlled by levers similar to other zero-turn mowers. A single 16-hour charge can run the mower long enough to mow a 1-acre lawn. It?s priced around $6500.

World?s Favorite Rose Award
Roses are not just the most popular flower in the U.S., they are the most popular flower in the world. The World Federation of Rose Societies is a group of rose societies from 41 different countries. Founded in England in 1968, its purpose is to be a clearinghouse for rose information and to hold international rose conferences. They hold a World Rose Conference every 3 years. (In 2009 it was in Vancouver, Canada). Not only does the organization disseminate information, create international standards, and sponsor research, they also have awards. One award is the World?s Favorite Rose.
Every three years the World?s Favorite Rose is elected by the members from across the globe. To date there are 13 favorite roses including the ever popular ?Peace? and ?Queen Elizabeth? roses. In 2009 David Austin?s ?Graham Thomas? English heirloom rose was the only rose to win the award. This heirloom shrub rose has deep yellow flowers, old fashioned form, and a strong tea rose fragrance.

Beet Juice Increases Stamina
Interested is having longer, less tiring workouts, being able to hike further, and generally have more stamina? Drink beet juice. Researchers at the University of Exeter in England studied 8 men aged 19 to 38 years old. They gave each 17 ounces of organic beet juice every day for 6 consecutive days and ran the men through a series of endurance tests. They used a placebo of black currant juice and repeated the same tests.
They found those patients drinking beet juice were able to exercise 16 percent longer than those taking the placebo. Researchers theorize that the nitrate in beet juice leads to a reduction in oxygen uptake ? making exercise less tiring.
So have some beets, then go out for a jog. For more information on this research, go to: The BBC News .

Hinske dealt for two Minor Leaguers
Bucs acquire Fryer, Erickson from Yanks; Jones called up
By Jenifer Langosch / MLB.com
The Yankees, in need of a versatile offensive threat, found a fit with Hinske, who the Pirates had signed to a one-year, $1.5 million deal this offseason. At the time, Hinske was expected to see substantial playing time as a backup outfielder and corner infielder. With the way things developed, however, that never happened.
After a slow start, Andy LaRoche took the reins at third, effectively ending Hinske's chances at getting much playing time there. The Pirates' mid-April acquisition of Delwyn Young -- and his subsequent success -- then pushed Hinske further back on the outfield depth chart, too.
Though he made only 23 starts, Hinske was a primary piece off the bench. He hit .255 with one homer and 11 RBIs in 106 at-bats.
"Hinske was a great guy to have on this team," shortstop Jack Wilson said. "You knew that what he's done in his career that he was going to be wanted by a team to come off the bench and be able to play the field like he does. He was a great guy."
The Pirates are also sending cash, reportedly $400,000, to the Yankees to offset some of Hinske's remaining salary. Outfielder/first baseman Garrett Jones has been called up from Triple-A Indianapolis to take Hinske's spot on the 25-man roster.
Jones, who arrived in time for Tuesday's game against Chicago, hit .307 with 18 doubles, 12 homers, 48 RBIs and 14 stolen bases in 72 games with Indianapolis. He replaces Hinske as a left-handed bat off the bench and likely would have made the team out of Spring Training had Hinske not already been signed.
"Garrett Jones made a great impression on us in Spring Training," general manager Neal Huntington said. "When the Yankees expressed interest, we felt like it was a great opportunity to get Eric up, get a couple young players and get Eric on his way to a club that he can help win."
The Pirates have had their eye on Fryer for over a year now, with Huntington noting that the Pirates tried to acquire him last year while Fryer was in the Brewers' system.
Fryer, 23, has been playing with the Yankees' high Class A Tampa affiliate, where he made 55 appearances in left, five behind the plate and one in right this season. In 59 games, he's hit .250 with 11 doubles, two home runs, 24 RBIs and 34 runs scored. Fryer, a 10th-round Draft selection in 2007, has been assigned to high Class A Lynchburg, and the Pirates plan to develop him as a catcher.
Erickson, 23, was 3-3 with a 2.25 ERA in 21 games (three starts) at the low Class A level this season. He had 37 strikeouts and 13 walks in 44 innings. Erickson, a 10th-round Draft pick in 2006, has been assigned to low Class A West Virginia.
According to Huntington, Erickson has a "fringe-to-average fastball with some sink" as well as a developing breaking ball and changeup. The Pirates are especially intrigued by Erickson's ground-ball ratio this season and are considering moving him back into a starting role.

While consumer-oriented Linux has been on a rise of late due
to healthy sales of the ASUS Eee PC, and Dell which offers a range
of notebooks and desktops preloaded with Ubuntu on their
website, the store shelves don't quite seem ready for the March of
the Penguins to reach their desktops.
Wal-Mart, the sole brick-and-mortar retailer of Everex's $199 gPC, has effectively
pulled the Linux-based machine off its store shelves, citing a lack of
demand. Oddly enough, the in-store supplies of the gPC were sold out across the
approximately 600 stores that received shipments -- but Wal-Mart spokesperson
Melissa O'Brien stated that "This really wasn't what our customers were
looking for."
Online buyers didn't appear to share these feelings, and the
Wal-Mart.com site is now offering
the second-generation gPC2 for sale, in addition to Everex's CloudBook,
an ultraportable Linux laptop aiming to cut into the Eee PC's market.
With competition in the low-budget PC market heating up in 2008, the lack of
licensing fees could mean that Linux will be found on many more desktops and
laptops -- but if the sales of the gPC are any indication, it may still be some
time before it gains a serious foothold in the mainstream retail market.
According to Net
Applications, Linux held on to only 0.67%
market share in January 2008. This figure pales in comparison to OS X which
commanded 7.57% of the market and Windows which continues to outshine all with
91.46% of the OS market.

Opposed to Wal-Mart
Since 1997 I have lived steps away from the location being considered for the Wal-Mart off Ringing Boulevard. I oppose the opening of this business for several reasons. When I first moved here, Publix hired off-duty police officers as night security. Over the years, it withdrew that service. Publix's closing time was 9 p.m. Foot traffic was common due to the proximity to downtown. My home and others fell victim to burglaries. However, when Publix moved, pedestrian traffic ceased and, interestingly, so did the burglaries.
We are a quiet neighborhood. We do not want trucks pulling in at all times of the night. Many of us work. I've done my research: When Wal-Mart opens in an area, police calls increase, mostly due to shoplifting. I've also learned that Wal-Mart practices include taking tax breaks when they open, then, if things don't go as anticipated, Wal-Mart moves out, leaving yet another deserted space.
We are a community of retirees and working-class people. I was offended at the "argument" by Wal-Mart's attorney that there wasn't opposition in the beginning. Not true. When I first learned of the possibility, I called the city commissioners' office and was told I could attend the meeting but would not be allowed to speak.
I wish to thank the majority of commissioners who voted to allow a hearing of the people against this project. I just ask you to consider: Would you want a Wal-Mart in your backyard?

Creating jobs in Georgia
It seems that many people on your staff seem to think Gov. Rick Scott walks on water. You heavily publicize his speeches on how he is going to "create jobs in Florida." I find this absolutely hilarious.
Recently the automated system on the Skyway Bridge failed to register my transponder, so I got a bill for the toll charges from a company representing the Florida Department of Transportation. What is particularly interesting is that the company that sent me the notice, and with whom I had to resolve the problem, was located in Georgia!
It seems, that in spite of the need for jobs in Florida, our politicians are privatizing jobs and giving them to companies out of Florida, thereby creating jobs elsewhere.
I find it rather disingenuous of Scott to talk about creating jobs while farming out Florida DOT functions to a business in Georgia!

Green light for cameras
The headline and subhead on a Jan. 7 red-light camera story were misleading: "New Study Fuels Camera Debate" and "Fewer crashes at many intersections, but an increase at others."
Then, in much much smaller print: "Fifty-six percent of municipalities responding to a survey said crashes decreased at intersections with red light cameras."
I know that newspapers thrive on controversy and uncertainty, but these results are positive! Only "15 percent reported that crashes increased" (9.6 percent said they remained the same, and 19.2 percent didn't report results).
If these were the preliminary findings on a new medication, medical device or surgical procedure, is there any doubt that we would wish to continue investigating it? Of course we would.

Loving/hating politics
Regarding Wednesday's editorial, "Who hates politics?": Politics is civilization's attempt to move away from our barbaric past. A polite name for the warfare of overcoming human nature. A struggle to shout that all are valuable. Our attempt to overcome "might makes right," the recognition that the good of all is better than "winner take all." It is human nature's attempt to overcome the money and power of a few and move mankind forward to a brighter future. It is a worldwide public stage where the struggle of humanity is played out in full view of all. Greed, lust, power, hate, love, empathy, altruism, generosity -- it's all there!
If you take a macro view of the world, the good of human nature is winning. More despots, evil, prejudice, bias, greed and hatred are exposed by the miracle of our newfound communication ability and the media than ever before. More people are better off than ever before. In spite of the ugliness of who we are and the mess we are in, we are evolving as better people. When you look at where we were 10,000 years ago, just think what the next 10,000 years will bring.
As much as I hate politics and the politicians we all are, I say "hallelujah!" Let the struggle continue.

Food bank for cats
Regarding Sunday's "New to the Brink" story, in which the writer describes how those who have not needed public assistance in the past now need help:
The article pictured a woman named Hannah Hough holding her cat. At Cat Depot, an all-feline facility in Sarasota, we have spoken with many who feel forced to surrender their beloved pet because they cannot afford to feed them. The best place for pets is in their loving homes with their families and not in shelters.
In order to help these people, we have established a Community Food Bank. On the last Sunday of each month, those who qualify can receive free cat food. Other organizations also offer similar food bank programs for pets.
Cat Depot is committed to keeping cats happy and healthy. If free food makes a difference between a person keeping their pet or having to surrender their pet to a shelter, Cat Depot provides a community resource to those in need.

Empowering deserving military families with educational support and opportunities.
The leader board is pretty stacked (as is every WGC)! Should be a good weekend
Fun watching golf today! Working at home with it in the background (easy now, just had sinus surgery before any "slacker" comments). Man everyone was going low today! We'll see if wind and conditions play a factor in the following days to knock some of these guys off one by one.
Hoping Bubba or Hunter take this one! (that'd help my fantasy points!)
I was at the resort at the end of 2011 and it was in need of a major face lift...glad to see now that all the improvements Trump is putting into it are making a great difference...on another note, surprised Rory is still struggling...amazing such a sold player can have such a rough patch!
i was surprised when i saw how many big names were in contention. really stacking up to be a good weekend.
I'm the only one in my office today (bunch of wusses), so I'll be tossing it up in the conference room on the big screen around 2.
Have not played it yet, it is on the list for sure! Going with Hunter to take it this week.
Upper 60's here and perfect golf weather. Rain in forecast for opening club tourney, so the FJ gear will be ready for action. (and my liver)
Stricker and TW on fire.... Hey Steve, stop giving the competition putting lessons!
You say that and he's just missed a few putts!
Tiger on fire! Fun to watch him play like this. Also Phil within less than a foot for an ace!
This was a great day of golf. Too bad G. Mac stumbled up a bit. Tomorrow should prove to be some great golf watchin'
TW's d man this week.
Wedging and putting great and you can't argue with the stats - never lost when he has has a 3 stroke lead going into final round and leading by 4.
Will be a great Sunday at Doral.
It's all going to depend on the wind. Direction and speed will have a definite impact on scoring. If the wind shifts back to the "normal" direction, don't look for too many 66's or 67's, making it harder for some of the trailing players to catch up. I'll be watching to see if Tiger's swing and putting hold up for a fourth straight day.

Silicon Valley Nation: The great electronics potty-break revolt
7 comments post a comment
Long hours and lack of respect are one thing, but don't mess around with my bathroom breaks.
SAN FRANCISCO--In the challenging, fast-paced world of engineering,
there's always some grumbling... grumbling about marketing
numbskulls, management buffoons, unreasonable design schedules,
crazy customer demands and a lack of respect.
In China, it's gone to another level.
Workers at Shanghai Shinmei Electric Company, which makes electromagnetic coils and other electronic products, revolted in recent days, taking hostage 10 Japanese nationals and eight Chinese managers for nearly two days. And this wasn't some concentrated cabal of wild-eyed crazies. This was 1,000 workers in revolt. A thousand!
Their complaint? "Ridiculously strict" potty breaks. A wire-service report quoted a security guard named Feng as saying:
"The workers demanded the scrapping of the ridiculously strict requirements stipulating that workers only have two minutes to go to the toilet and workers will be fined 50 yuan ($8) if they are late once and fired if they are late twice. The managers were later freed when police intervened and when they agreed to reconsider the rules."The hostage situation started Friday morning and lasted until midnight Saturday. It's not known whether the workers prevented the 18 hostages from visiting the bathroom during that stretch, but that would seem a likely response, wouldn't it?
We know that protests of many kinds are increasingly common in China and that workplace conditions in electronics factories are under scrutiny (see Apple-iPad/iPhone-HonHai problems). I read this weekend's story with a mixture of amusement and concern.
In North America and Europe, engineers are paid well, but have their gripes, as you told us a year-and-a-half ago. You've said you're less happy than workers in other professions, and that can be understandable in your intense line work. After all, work life can be more difficult during economic recessions as companies try to squeeze more productivity out of few people.
So questions for you:
- How's it going? How are workplace conditions these days?
- Are you experiencing ridiculous work rules?

Although 3D performance is starting to seem a little outdated with this card, I still recommend it as a good all purpose 3D and 2D card. The card may lack speed, but it sure packs a punch when it comes to features, especially considering its age. As cheep as a Riva TNT2, its only marginally slower, but boasts the possibility to run two monitors side by side to extend your desktop. The software and driver support from Matrox is top notch. Bump mapping is for me however the cards greatest feature. Images created using Environment Bump mapping are unrivalled, and as its hardware bump mapping, it takes it in its stride. Overall, the G400 is a competent card. Although lacking in GPU speed, features, and image quality is superb, a great buy for someone on a tight budget.
The Matrox G400 is not bad. The more Ranm the better of course, so go for the best spec you can afford. I use my PC mainly for standard stuff- using Office, web design, plus 3d graphics, with the occasional excursion into games. I've had one for a while. It is pretty reliable and has performed to spec according to my needs. I rarely have problems getting Max to render something in a reasonable time and I'm only operating a p3 800 with 350MB Ram at the moment, so you'd probably expect an inferior graphics card too be an obstacle, but it isn't, so it's ipso facto not an inferior graphics card If you've got a previously poor graphics card, you will probably find this a massive improvement in any case. It seems to work pretty well wioth 3d Studio Max, Flash, PhotoShop. It's obviously better to get a more expensive card if your budget runs to it - if you work for a corporate with ever-open pockets. Otherwise, it's reasonable value for money. It's easy to set up/,. I had to go online to get Win2k drivers when I got mine but they should be supplied with it now. Pretty expensive of course, but then PC graphics card tech always is. If you are just looking for a games card, I can't help much. It makes agoos job of Deus Ex machina nads Black and White but I'm not sure about Quake or similar fast frame changing demanding games
This is my review/opinion of the Matrox G400 32MB Dual Head (not Max) graphic card. I have been using Matrox graphic cards since some 5 years back. Back then, it was the Matrox Mystique. At the moment their graphic cards are the G400 and G450 range. For the end user, the G400 and G450 can be considered to be the same. I have been using the G400 for almost 8 months now and it doesn't disappoint. The card comes with dual head which allows you to connect to two monitors at the same time. This is particularly useful for graphic editing and HTML work by the way. No more switching between program views. If you don't need the dual head, you can get the single head version which is cheaper. Its 2D performance is superb. The screen is sharp and colours are vibrant. Matrox graphic cards has always been known to have excellent 2D performance. 3D performance is ok if compared to the current crop of graphics card such as the Geforce, Kyro II and Radeon. However, this does not mean it is unusable. With this card you will not get the 'super' fast frame rates (eg. >100fps in Quake 3) but it is still very much playable. Just to give you an idea, I have a lowly K6-2+ 500Mhz computer, and I get an average of about 25fps - 35fps in quake3 and Unreal Tournament and it is still very playable. Support is very good. Matrox has an online forum on their website where you can post any queries or problems. There are also Matrox users forums around as well. IMO, if you are the type of person who does a lot of 2D work and 3D work, and is not a real hard core gamer, have a look at this card. With its great 2D performance, good 3D performance and great support, you can't go wrong...
well what can i say i bought a matrox g400 dh I bought one as soon as they hit the shelf going back nearly 2 years ago and this is what i found.. the features on the card are second to none the dual head is one of those things that once you have it you can't live without it. To benefit from dvd playback on your tv you need a p3 500 type spec machine it will work on smaller cpu's but the playback is not as smooth as a dedicated playback card and at the end of the day that is what im looking for. the quality of the card in games is very good it is not the fastest card on the market but trust me it doesn't matter the games are just as playable. you can run two monitors on the card but for me that has limited appeal i much prefer to run a monitor and a television. if you do a bit of video editing this feature is essential so you can see exactly what you get and then output it straight to tape I can't think of a better card at the price that will allow you to do this, this is where the dual head feature really comes into it's own. overall it still is one hell of a card for it's money.
Although the G400 max has been around for a while now, it's features and performance are still comparable to some of the cards released today. FEATURES: 360mhz ramdac 32mb ram Dual head output Support for direct 3D and openGL Bitmapping These features are all a bit confusing to those who are not technically minded. Here's an explanation of each of the features: 360mhz ramdac, this is the speed of the graphics chip. Most cards now are about the same or higher. 32mb ram, this is the graphics memory of the card. Some cards now feature 64-128mb of ram. Dual head output, this means the card can output to 2 displays (even a TV) and use them for different functions. Support for direct 3D and openGL, these are 2 of 3 3D drivers. Different games use different drivers. Bitmapping, pioneered by matrox themselves, gives in game graphics added detail and gives the effect of 3D textures. I have had my G400max for just over a year now, I still don't see the need to upgrade my card. It's features are very useful, they give your PC multifunctional use. For example, I play DVD movies on PC, but watch them through my TV via the dual head output on the card. Alternatively this feature could be used to view multiple documents whilst working. When playing games I find the card more than copes with today's demands, although at high resolutions it can struggle. The quality of the picture and animation is excellent. The picture is clear and there are no jagged lines thanks to antialiasing. This smoothes out jagged lines on 3D graphics. The speed at which this card operates is very impressive; i like playing Quake 3 arena on the Internet a lot. To get the most out of the games' great graphics, you'll need a hefty graphics card. The G400 max allows you to play games like Quake 3 arena very smoothly at most resolutions, even when you have detail optio
ns at max. Supplied with the card are all the adapter cables you will need to play movies on your TV, and included on the installation disc is the DVD software. The DVD player software is reliable and offers the functionality that any conventional DVD player would offer. There are a few flaws in the card in that it doesn't support 3dfx only games. These are games designed specifically for use with voodoo cards. Also, it has a few problems with some openGL games such as the Delta Force series. If you're looking for a high performance card, but are on a budget, you should consider the G400 max. At just over £100, the card is a great alternative to cleaning out you're bank account and opting for one of the latest voodoo cards for £300. If you don't play games very often, you could go for on of the Max's little sisters; the G400 16mb series are slightly slower and under £100.
I like this card, and it servers a great purpose. It I think the only non AGP PRO graphics card, which offers two outputs, simultaneously being able to display on two screens. If you have a need for this then this is the only card to choose. 2D performance is wonderful, and everything is crystal clear and very smooth, however 3D is a bit poor compared to some of the other cards available today, such as the NVIDA GeForce2 GTS cards. So if need it for something such as CAD/CAM or for use in an office environment, where you need to drive a monitor and projector then this card is king, however in the home arena, where games are the thing then you may be slightly disappointed. That said it's 3D is still quite good.... despite it's MAX title. All this means is that you get a quicker RAM DAC (360mhz against 300mhz in the standard I think), which helps to boost the 2D performance. As far as DVD's are concerned, on screen they look fine, but if you use the SVideo out which the MAX card has to a TV, then you tend to get a loss of quality, but it is still more than watchable. One other point to note, is that you wont get the dual monitor support on win 95 or 3.11, as it only arrived in win 98. And the Matrox 450 chip is on its way, so there may be a new model out soon.
The Matrox Millennium G400 is Matrox's latest effort in the video adapter market. Matrox has long been known for excellence in the 2D market. the Millenium II stood as the standard in high end 2D graphics for years. However, Matrox didn't have any success in the 3D world. Matrox first made an effort at a 2D/3D card with the g200 series but due to massive delays in fully functioning drivers, the card never really caught on. With the G400 series, Matrox has finally created a successful 2D/3D solution. The G400 series includes 3 different cards: The G400, G400max, and G400Marvel. The first two are similar however the G400max is clocked to a higher speed and has 32mb of ram. The G400 has 16mb of ram and a slower clock speed. The G400 processor is a 256-bit Dualbus AGP graphics chip supporting 3D rendering Array Processing with fast single pass multi-texturing. Both the G400 and the G400max support DualHead. (Beware of cheap G400 version that do not have dualhead support). DualHead allows two independent output displays with one AGP card. You can use either a TV or a 2nd monitor on that 2nd display. Using support for multiple monitors in Windows98 and Windows2000 you can expand your desktop over two monitors (a very addictive feature). 3D supports Vibrant Color Quantity2 for fast 32bit rendering, texturing, and Z-buffering. Also included is support for Environment-Mapped Bump Mapping which creates beatiful 3D images. There are two addons available for the G400 and G400 max. The Rainbow Runner G is an additional PCI card available for about $150 that adds video capture, editing, and TV tuner capabilities to your g400. The RRG includes a wonderful software suite that make doing complicated video work easy. Windows2000 drivers for the RRG have just recently been released but are still in beta but they work. Also available is a module that allows for the connection of a Digital Flat Panel. The G400 marvel is a combination between the G40
0 and the RRG. However, I recommend the combination of the G400max and the RRG instead. The Marvel is a G400 with 16mb ram combined with the video and tv capabilities of the Rainbow Runner. DualHead display using a 2nd monitor however is not supported. DualHead on the marvel only supports output to a TV or flat panel.
What a card! Considerably better than its predeccessor the Matrox millennium G400, the Max comes into its own, its powerful enough for all the latest games and offers great DVD playback quality, I run it to my TV for watching DVD's the Dual head is great, It means that you no longer have to huddle around your monitor to watch your movies, you can put on the TV or another Monitor. Its a great card that is easy to set up and the Dual Head rounds things off very nicely, well done Matrox!
I bought my G400 some 6 months ago with the main aim being the ability to run games on my big TV. The G400 does this very well but suffers from very poor (considering the price) graphics performance. The card is bottom of the performance rating when compared with similarly priced cards. Having said this, it does have the TV or second monitor output which is either pointless or very handy – it all depends if you want that capability. Compared to most other card which offer this functionality, the G400 is the best. Most others will only output to a TV not monitor and the G400 has many options for the second output use. You can either duplicate the main screen, extend your Windows desktop onto another monitor/TV or play a DVD full screen on the second output while the main display is left free to use. You can even use the second output as a big zoom for the main display – it follows the mouse around, zoomed in. This is basically the reason you would buy the card, if you don't need these abilities, buy something else. As I've said, the big drawback is speed. I have a Pentium III 550Mhz with 512MB RAM running Windows 2000 (NOT Windows ME). Moving to Windows 2000 increased the speed a tiny bit but not a huge amount. Most games run okay, Quake II & III, Unreal Tournament, MDK 2, C&C Tiberian Sun, Rally Masters etc etc all run very smoothly – although the frame rate is only just in the 'acceptable' range which means the card will become out of date a lot quicker. I should point out, I run all my games in 640x480 - I see very little difference in the higher resolutions in terms of quality but obviously games will run slower the higher the resolution. Unfortunately though, using (i.e. enabling) the second output degrades the speed still further, making a few games noticeably jerky. Worst affected are Virtual Pool Hall & Rally Masters but Quake etc are still okay. <
br>I read Temujin's opinion which mentioned that it requires an AGPx4 port to run really fast, I have a friend with a AGPx4 motherboard (mines just AGPx2) so tried a test (he also runs Windows 2000), but there was no noticeable difference, the frame rate was a tiny bit higher but then his CPU is 600Mhz against my 550Mhz. So, not exactly a top performer and far from value for money but the additional output is very useful – if you need it. Don't think the new G450 is much better either according to the reviews.
This graphics card is got just about every multimedia option you could ever possibly want, including a t.v. out and support for dual monitors from the one graphics card. Compared to the prices of other graphics cards with similar specifications it compares quite well and offers a cheaper alternative. The software could be improved but the install is easy. The card has improved alot since the G400 version and the extra support for Bump-mapping makes this card a worthwhile investment at a good, affordable price. The card performs well and produces good graphics. The extra Memory gives Games a good feed to go on, although i would not reccomend this card for the serious games player. I say this because, with a p-400 you still can't get games to run at their top graphics settings smoothly and the test scores are amazingly low compared to other cards of similair specification. Instead this card is best suited for a person who would like to watch movie clips and produce animations, etc. (a designer). But to get it working at its optimal a high-end P.C would be recommended
I bought this card as I had heard great reviews and for once, every good thing I had heard about the product was true. I initially had a couple of problems setting the thing up but I contacted the Matrox UK's technical team and spoke to a Mr Hadden who was not only very friendly but managed to solve my problem very quickly and was very competent (thanks Mr Hadden!). I use the card to play games and the performance is very good. The picture quality is out of this World and was far better than I could have ever expected. In the past I have used ATI cards and the support has been very poor, so I found it a refreshing change that when I spoke to Dave at Matrox he was very helpful, interested in my problem and solved it. That is surly all you can hope for.
Now this is a great card! easy to set up and to install and to go with that it is fast! what more can you want? This was never designed to be a gaming card (well not really), how many Matrox cards have you seen around that are for gaming and not business? well there you go then! With the dual head capabilities this is a VERY useful card, i find it highly useful when doing webdesign and graphics etc... though i wouldn't think that it is great for games though it is sooooooooooooo easy to set up! The speed and power however is plenty for most people and with the option of having one extra monitor who could refuse?
I bought the Millenium 400 after reading the great reviews it was getting in magazines and on the internet but when I fitted the card I was very disappointed, some of my 3D games like Quake 3 and Ultima Ascension were running very poorly even with the resolution set as low as 800 x 600. The poor performance was because the Millenium G400 is a 4X AGP card and my motherboard only supported up to 2X. I recently purchased a new motherboard that does support 4X AGP and the improvement in the cards performance is outstanding, my games now run perfectly smooth even at resolutions of up to 1600 x 1200. I would definitely recommend this card, but only if your motherboard supports 4X AGP. The Millenium G400 also has a few other features like DVD playpack, support for two monitors and TV output so you can play your games or watch your DVDs on your TV screen.
Currently I work with two PCs, one a beefy P3 running a 3dfx Voodoo 3, and the other is a slightly older machine running the Matrox card. The difference? Not as much as you'd imagine. The matrox is a nice card- you get a lot of performance for your money, it handles polygons well and shades adequately, handls openGL, direct 3d, all the mod cons really, however, I thought I'd warn you of one or two drawbacks.... The matrox will need regular graphic driver updating- I've not found that matrox are particularly quick at releasing new drivers. In assition, you can't simply 'overwrite' an existing driver- Matrox decided it would be a good idea to use an uninstaller utility on their drivers. So firstly you'll need to download this, remove the current driver, then download and install the replacement- costly if you don't have a fast web connection. Also, watch out for some of the graphically heacy games- it won't like them. Activision's Star Trek is a good example.... Okay, well that is about it, nice card for most jobs, a little picky about drives and sometimes choosy about what it will and won't run.

By Chris Block
Behind another stellar week of goaltending from Carter Hutton, the Rockford IceHogs picked up five of a possible six points last week to improve their record to 26-26-2-5.
This marks the first time the IceHogs have sat at the .500 mark since way back on October 28th when the team was 4-4-0-0 after a win at Peoria, the same night Kyle Beach went down with a dislocated right shoulder.
The week began on Wednesday night as a flu bug hit the Rockford dressing room. The IceHogs, weakened also by the Andrew Shaw and Brandon Bollig call ups to Chicago earlier in the week, and without Jeremy Morin, put forth an amazing effort against the visiting Abbotsford Heat, one of the AHL's best road teams.
Ben Smith was credited with his team-leading 8th power play goal to get the 'Hogs on the board first. The goal was originally given to Ben Youds but the official scoring was flipped the next day. That goal also ended a 0 for 30 slump for the IceHogs power play units. And they needed just 3 seconds on their first power play of the night to end that nightmarish streak. The newest IceHog, Matt Fornataro knocked in his second goal in his fourth game since joining the team. The game went to seven rounds in the shootout with Abbotsford scoring four times on Hutton while Heat goalie Danny Taylor allowed three from the IceHogs. Rockford lost 3-2 but picked up a point.
Carter Hutton was the only reason the IceHogs were even in the game in Milwaukee after forty minutes on Friday night. Since signing an NHL contract with the Blackhawks on Feb 24, Hutton has been incredible for Rockford. The game was a rematch of the goalie-duel from six days earlier at the BMO between Hutton and Atte Engren. Hutton prevailed in that game winning 2-1 in a shootout. Engren stopped 35 shots in that game. In Friday's contest, Rockford was outshot 33-13 after two periods but the game was tied 1-1 heading into the third period. In the final frame, the IceHogs got goals from Brandon Pirri (his team-leading 22nd) and Jeremy Morin (13th) to take the game 3-1. Rockford is now 5-1-0-1 against Milwaukee this season and have five game left with the Admirals beginning with a home-and-home this coming Saturday and Sunday. Continue reading »

CARSON, Calif. – The LA Galaxy's normal captain Robbie Keane is away on international duty and in his absence, it will be defender Todd Dunivant, who dons the armband.
Head coach Bruce Arena confirmed following Friday's training session that Dunivant will serve as captain for Saturday's match against the Colorado Rapids. Arena was asked if Dunivant is LA's vice captain for the 2013, but did not reveal that fact.
The match will be the second time that the Colorado-native donned the captain's armband against the Rapids as the last—and only other—time that he wore the armband, he tallied an assist as LA earned a 3-1 win on June 18, 2011.
"It'll be cool," Dunivant told reporters. "It's the second time that I've been captain and the first time was in Colorado. It's a great honor and I'll happily take over the duties for Robbie while he's gone."

July 3, 2007
Sevierville (Sports Overtime) -- One of NASCAR's more popular drivers made his way to Sevierville's NASCAR Speedpark Tuesday evening, as Kasey Kahne was in town to meet and greet fans, sign autographs, and smile for hundreds of pictures.
The Nextel Cup driver is suffering thru a very disappointing season, but you would have never known it looking at Tuesday's turnout--the park set a record for number of people in line to meet one of NASCAR'S drivers.
After notching 6 wins in 2006, Kahne has just one top ten in 2007. He currently sits in 26th place in the points standings.
Kahne remains one of NASCAR's promising young drivers as he begins his third season on the Nextel Cup circuit. The driver who replaced "Awesome Bill from Dawsonville" Elliott in Ray Evernham's number nine Dodge, recorded five second-place finishes and earned the rookie of the year award in 2004. He was also named one of "America's Top 50 Bachelors" that year by People magazine.
The frenzy surrounding Kahne began early in the Washington state native's life. In 1994, he won four Micro-Midget events racing a car built by his father. In 1996, he won 11 of 14 Mini-Sprint events as well as the Hannigan Speedway and Northwest Mini-Sprints championships.
In 2000, Kahne won the USAC Midget championship and was named that series' national driver of the year. He was also named rookie of the year by the USAC Silver Crown Series. From 1998 to 2001, Kahne competed in the World of Outlaws, the Gumont Racing Series, the All-Star Circuit of Champions, the Northern Sprint Tour racing circles, the Atlantic Series and the Formula Ford 2000 Series. He also won the "Night before the 500" Classic at Indianapolis
Raceway Park and in 2001 he became the first driver to post back-to-back victories in the annual event since Jeff Gordon in 1989 and 1990. Kahne began his NASCAR career in 2002 running 20 Busch races. In 2003 in the series finale at Homestead, he recorded his first victory. Also in 2003, Kahne became the first Washington native to win back-to-back titles in the Jim Raper Dirt Cup at Skagit Speedway in Alger, Wash. In May 2005, Kahne started from the pole and won at Richmond for his first Cup victory. He also posted two Busch wins that season.

Club loses one, but gains three in Triple-A phase of Draft
By Bill Chastain / MLB.com
With the second selection of the Draft, the Pirates plucked Evan Meek from the Rays organization.
Pitching for Double-A Montgomery in 2007, the right-handed Meek posted a 4.30 ERA in 49 games, with 69 strikeouts in 67 innings.
"Evan is a talented pitcher that on any given night has devastating stuff," said Rays executive vice president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman. "He gained more consistency late in the year, and he's someone that in an ideal world we would have protected. But with the depth that we have, we made the decision to protect others ahead of him."
Those eligible to be selected in the Draft are players who are not on a team's Major League 40-man roster, were 18 years or younger when they first signed a pro contract and are now in their fourth Rule 5 Draft since they signed. Also eligible are players who were not on a club's 40-man roster when they were 19 or older after they first signed a pro contract and if this is their third Rule 5 Draft.
Clubs pay $50,000 for the player drafted, and if the player does not remain on the team's 25-man active roster for the entire season, the drafting club must attempt to return him to his original team for $25,000.
In the Triple-A phase of the Rule 5 Draft, the Rays selected Rashad Eldridge (Twins), Julio Puentes (Astros) and Jose Mejias (Mets).
Eldridge is a 26-year-old outfielder who hit .291 with seven home runs, 41 RBIs and seven steals in 105 games for Double-A New Britain of the Eastern League.
Puentes, 21, is a 6-foot-4, 220-pound right-hander who had a 5-3 record with a 2.25 ERA and 34 strikeouts in 40 innings with eight saves for the Astros' rookie Venezuelan Summer League team.
Mejias, 22, is a 6-foot, 150-pound right-hander who had a 4-5 record with two saves and a 3.20 ERA with 41 strikeouts in 56 1/3 innings for the Mets' rookie Venezuelan Summer League team.
