Goldschmidt's ninth-inning homer wins it for D-backs
PHOENIX -- When he hit the ball, D-backs first baseman Paul Goldschmidt had a pretty good idea he had just won the game for his team.
"I had a good feeling," Goldschmidt said. "If not [a home run], it wasn't going to be a triple, [because] I wasn't running that hard, so I'm glad it got out of here."Full Game Coverage
PHOENIX -- When he hit the ball, D-backs first baseman Paul Goldschmidt had a pretty good idea he had just won the game for his team.
"I had a good feeling," Goldschmidt said. "If not [a home run], it wasn't going to be a triple, [because] I wasn't running that hard, so I'm glad it got out of here."Full Game Coverage
The ball struck the batter's eye in center field, well over the yellow line, as the D-backs walked off with a 3-2 win over the Marlins on Tuesday night at Chase Field.
Former D-backs right-hander Chad Qualls fell behind 1-0 before Goldschmidt turned on his next offering, a 93 mph sinker.
"He missed first pitch with his fastball, and for me, I'm just trying to get a pitch I can hit hard and kind of get it up," said Goldschmidt, who has 17 homers on the season. "He throws a sinker, and it was middle of the plate and up, and I was able to hit it hard and lucky enough to get some backspin and get it out of here."
It was the second homer in as many nights for Goldschmidt, who did not have a hit in Arizona's three-game weekend series against the Padres.
"You know, good hitters figure out a way to get hits," Miami manager Mike Redmond said. "He's put some good at-bats together the last couple nights. Hopefully tomorrow we can go out there and be careful with him. We just made a mistake there, that pitch was middle-in, I think. I know [Qualls] wasn't trying to go there, but that's where it ended up. You just tip your cap, it's a tough loss."
It was Goldschmidt's first career walk-off homer and his second walk-off hit, and the win snapped the first-place D-backs' four-game losing streak.
"We were struggling for a couple of days, and having a big win like this brings that confidence back up," said third baseman Martin Prado, whose fifth homer of the year, a two-run shot in the fourth, tied the game at 2.
Though he didn't figure in the decision, Randall Delgado turned in an impressive performance for the D-backs in his first start of the season.
Called up earlier in the day from Triple-A Reno to take Tyler Skaggs' spot in the rotation, Delgado displayed a devastating changeup, as he scattered eight hits over seven innings with six strikeouts.
"He was keeping the ball down," catcher Miguel Montero said. "He was actually painting those corners. He was incredible, those pitches were right on the corner. Pretty much if he could do that every time he goes out there, he's in the Hall of Fame. Those pitches were Hall of Fame pitches."
No one expects that to happen, but it seems likely that Delgado passed his audition and will get the chance to start on Sunday against the Reds -- though no official announcement has been made.
"I just try to do my job every time they tell me," Delgado said. "I tried to keep it down in the zone and I think it worked, so I'll just try to keep it like that."
Delgado had a brief stint with the D-backs earlier this month and made one appearance out of the bullpen before being sent back to Reno. He wore the same No. 48 jersey this time around, but looked like a different guy in many respects.
"When he came up and threw last time he was not as aggressive as he could be," D-backs manager Kirk Gibson said. "You could see he really kind of shortened up his motion and focused on locating the ball more. He just pounded the zone and hit both sides of the plate with all of his pitches. It should do a lot for his confidence."
Delgado also eased any concerns over his command, as he did not allow a walk.
But the Marlins struck first in the fourth when Delgado struggled to finish off the inning.
With two outs and a runner on first, Derek Dietrich tripled to right-center and Adeiny Hechavarria followed with an RBI single to give Miami a 2-0 lead.
It didn't last long, as the D-backs responded in the bottom half of the inning.
Montero drew a two-out walk off Marlins starter Nathan Eovaldi, and Prado followed with a home run to left to tie the game.
"I was just looking for a fastball and put a good swing on it," Prado said. "He actually tried to come in a little bit and I was ready for a fastball and was able to hit it out."

Beckham resting, hoping to avoid return to DL
By Scott Merkin / MLB.com
CHICAGO -- Monday marked a second straight day of inactivity for Gordon Beckham, after the second baseman strained a ligament in his left wrist while swinging a weighted bat while warming up for batting practice Friday.
This injury joins the removal of a fractured hamate bone in his left hand that cost Beckham from April 12 to June 3 and a left quad contusion he sustained in Philadelphia before the end of the season's first half when right fielder Casper Wells slid into him while making a catch.
"Pretty frustrating. I've been unfortunate in a couple of different ways," Beckham said. "It is what it is. It's frustrating for me because if it was just this, I think I could be OK with it, but when you hurt yourself for two months and are finally starting to get comfortable back playing and for something to go wrong with your hand again, it kind of stings."
Another trip to the disabled list is possible for Beckham. But he first has to see how the wrist responds to the rest.
"I don't want to go on the DL, but we just have to let it play out," Beckham said. "The doctor said it could be a week, it could be more, it could be less. We don't really know."
"You go day to day and see how he is tomorrow and the next day," said White Sox manager Robin Ventura, who admitted Beckham is pretty sore. "Again, you can't ever tell. You can't say he's not going to when there's a chance he could. I hope he doesn't."
Peavy focused on next start, aware of speculation
CHICAGO -- With Cubs right-hander Matt Garza traded to the Rangers on Monday evening, White Sox right-hander Jake Peavy appears to be the next starter on the clock for contending teams who need rotation help.
Peavy made his first start since June 4 on Saturday, allowing two earned runs over six innings in a victory over the Braves. His stuff showed no ill effects from the prolonged absence because of a fractured rib on his left side, but even without issuing a walk, his command was not exceptionally sharp.
Peavy threw a bullpen session on Monday to help find a better feel and pace, things he'll focus on leading into Thursday afternoon's start against the Tigers. As for trade speculation, Peavy hears reports and sees his name, but he is not concerned.
His two-year, $29 million deal, agreed upon with the White Sox around Halloween, did not include no-trade protection as Peavy had with the Padres. The truth of the matter is Peavy didn't want it with the White Sox.
"A trade didn't matter to me because if we were going to sit here talking about [a trade possibility], it meant we played the way we have played," said Peavy prior to Monday's series opener with the Tigers and after news of the Garza trade broke. "I didn't foresee that happening, but at the same time, it's about winning.
"As tough as it would be to be traded away from a city I love, from teammates, from friends in here and I made around the city, it would be awfully tough, but it would be for going to a chance to play in the postseason. So if I tell you about winning, then I have to be OK with that happening. I certainly will be, but it will be a sad, sad day."
Talk from Peavy makes it sound as if he somewhat expects to get traded. Maybe it's the large number of scouts watching him Saturday, who figure to be back on Thursday.
The Garza deal sort of set the bar, with three solid prospects coming back to the Cubs, and Peavy still is under contract for 2014, whereas Garza isn't. Moving the veteran could help the White Sox in the future, which was Peavy's plan when he stayed on the South Side and passed up free agency.
"Listen, I'll talk about it when you guys ask me questions about it," said Peavy of the possibility of being traded. "I'm not going to be caught off guard. I understand there's a possibility of me being moved.
"So you prepare yourself in life that could happen. But at the same time, I have to get ready to pitch against the Detroit Tigers. I have to be all in here and find a way to back Chris Sale tonight and be a good teammate and find a way for us to win today. It's just real black and white for me. That's the way I go about it."
Konerko back in starting lineup for White Sox
CHICAGO -- Paul Konerko returned to the White Sox starting lineup Monday against the Tigers following a 4-for-10 showing over three Minor League rehab games with Double-A Birmingham.
The White Sox captain had been on the disabled list since July 3 with a lower back strain that he described as "a slight degeneration of one of the disks and kind of a little bit of a tear that again is pretty common they say in a lot of guys and sometimes you can just aggravate it the wrong way."
Konerko admitted that there's always concern the back issue could arise again, but he seemed ready to get back to work with the White Sox.
"I don't know if it's something that I'm never not going to feel," Konerko said. "But there's probably five other things that I'm never not going to feel that I've had for two or three years that, you know, again it's fine if you can come in and know that if you get loose and warmed up that you can power through it and play the game.
"Everybody out here has something like that, whether it's their knee or their shoulder. A lot of these guys throwing the ball, I mean their arms, their elbows, their shoulders kill them. But they can get loose and get the job done. If it's something like that, it doesn't concern me."
Although he was asked about the back problem impacting his decision for playing past this year, Konerko said that he was simply focused on getting ready for Monday. Konerko could be playing with a different group of teammates by the non-waiver Trade Deadline of July 31, but he knows that the White Sox won't make deals just to make them.
"We don't want to concern ourselves with that kind of stuff," Konerko said. "A lot of guys that have been talked about on our team are under contract, so I'm sure there's no rush. If you don't like what you're getting and you know there's no rush, then you can just wait and maybe down the road you get something else.
"I'm sure it's a tough, tough job to navigate through all that kind of stuff. Everybody thinks it has to happen, this stuff has to happen. But when you look at it from really what it is, it really doesn't. It could still, but it might not be the urgency that some people think."
Phegley trying to prove he's a big league catcher
CHICAGO -- The regular playing time given to Josh Phegley since his arrival in early July should be viewed as the White Sox gauging his ability to handle the everyday catching duties.
Phegley, who entered Monday's series opener against Detroit hitting .278 with three homers and 10 RBIs, doesn't view these next few months as a pure audition.
"It's more of they gave me the opportunity to play for the White Sox this year," Phegley said. "Just proving them right every day and I guess giving them confidence in me that they made the right decision to bring me up."
Phegley caught veteran Jake Peavy for the first time in a big league game Saturday and received rave reviews from the hurler.
"He wants to win. He's all in on the game plan," said Peavy. "He's all in on doing what he can do to help the ballclub win. I think the sky is the limit for what he can be here."
Third to first
• Martellus Bennett, the Chicago Bears' new starting tight end, threw out one of Monday's ceremonial first pitches.
• Andy Wilkins was named International League Batter of the Week for the period of July 18-21. The first baseman for Triple-A Charlotte went 7-for-16, with three homers, five RBIs and six runs scored over a four-game stretch. Spencer Arroyo was named Southern League Pitcher of the Week for the period ending July 21. Arroyo earned the win on July 18 with seven scoreless innings.
• The White Sox rank fourth in the Major Leagues with a .268 average with runners in scoring position and two outs. Alexei Ramirez (.353) and Dayan Viciedo (.346) lead the White Sox in this category.
• The White Sox committed just three errors over their previous 10 games and six in the last 20 entering play Monday.

Austin Kearns just turned 27 this May, but in the world of the Washington Nationals, he's a seasoned veteran. Kearns made his debut with the Cincinnati Reds in 2002, learning from veterans like Ken Griffey Jr. until being traded to the Nationals last season. The seventh overall Draft selection in 1998, Kearns is among the key young players around whom the Nats are building their future. He recently answered some questions from MLBPLAYERS.com.
MLBPLAYERS.com: You're not very old, but do you feel like you're a veteran in this clubhouse?
Kearns: I do kind of feel like one of the older guys, because we have such a young team along, with some guys who aren't quite young but who haven't been around the Majors for a long time. It feels funny saying that I'm the veteran here, but I do feel like that.
MLBPLAYERS.com: How do take the lessons you learned in Cincinnati and apply them here? How do you lead?
Kearns: My biggest thing is to lead by example. I'm not a real vocal guy, by any means, so for me, leading is going out and playing the game the right way -- hard, and doing it every day. But if something's going on that needs to be addressed, you have to address it.
MLBPLAYERS.com: What was the main difference between the Reds and the Nationals, as far as the teams?
Kearns: The biggest thing about the clubhouse in Cincinnati is that everyone got along real well, everyone was always joking, laughing and hanging out. Last year, when I got here, it was weird in the clubhouse. There were little cliques everywhere. This year, I think everybody's getting along a lot more, hanging out more and having a good time.
MLBPLAYERS.com: When Cincinnati traded you last year, were you surprised, upset, or just happy to get a new start?
Kearns: I was surprised. I hadn't heard anything about a potential deal, and it was the first time I was traded. Like any player, the first time you get traded it's a surprise.
MLBPLAYERS.com: You never really got to realize your full potential with the Reds, is that something that starting over with Washington allows you to do?
Kearns: I think things happen for a reason. I'm happy here and I'm getting to play every day. It's been a lot of fun here. We've got good guys, so I'm happy with my situation.
MLBPLAYERS.com: What do you think about the makeup of the team? Going into the season, the previews and expectations weren't very positive. How do you ignore that and just focus on the game itself?
Kearns: It all starts with our manager, Manny Acta. He's been good with the team as far as leadership. The rest of us, we just have to keep things in a positive light. We have fun, we joke around a lot. We've got good kids here. I think that's the biggest thing. We have a good mix of guys who get along and that helps out in the long run.
MLBPLAYERS.com: It's been a big change going from Frank Robinson to Manny. Has it been good to get new energy at the top?
Kearns: I think so. Manny's young and energetic. He just brings a different attitude. He's upbeat and all that. I think when you're a young team that has ups and downs, you need that. Manny's been great.
MLBPLAYERS.com: Do you think the players here feel more established as they get further away from the days in Montreal?
Kearns: I think so. Every day it's getting better, guys are feeling more comfortable knowing what they've got to do. I definitely think we're headed in the right direction.

I like the statement about growing popularity of Linux on high performance clusters (hmmm. what's Linux replacing?) It will all come down to support and integration... Will MS support the hardware interconnects (or, will the hardware vendors want to write MS drivers for their hardware)? Will MS provide decent hooks into their development environment (.NET, Visual Studio)? How much of an ordeal will it be to take a useful code running on a Linux cluster and port it over to your shiny new Windows Server2003/HPC edition cluster? Is it just configure/make? What will the licensing work like? If we change the hardware configuration, will WS2003/HPC need to "phone Redmond" to authorize? Does WS2003 support NFS mount points? (Win2000 doesn't) For "from scratch" development, it's probably not a real big deal which environment you develop for (assuming that they both "work"), and presumably, the OS isn't consuming the majority of the CPU cycles in either case.

Thinkin' with my dick, my head in the clouds
Should have avoided my temptation instead of my vows
Let's put this shit to bed before this message gets the L-O
And if she catch me slippin'
The media gon' trip, And I got shit to do on T.V
Keep me clean, don't do no snitchin
And I'mma hold you down forever and appreciate the effort
And ya pussy was amazing but it ain't worth a couple million
C'mon girl
Don't be wrong girl
I hope you not rattin' out to get on girl
See my whole life I been winnin'
So the right to have these women, I'm entitled to their interest
Yeah I'm at 'em
And this a vicious battle that I'm havin'
But an addict yes I am, butIshould act more like an adult
It knows me
It controls me
And I'm still hurtin over pops
It consoles me
Okay my stories ain't addin' up
But Elon don't got no proof
And hell if I'm gon tell him, now shut up and play it cool
I love what the ladies do
But I love my babies too
And I have forsaken my marriage, now she gon take me for loot
Look in the mirror
What do I really need
Is it the money or my marriage or media peace
Life's fuckin' wit me
Once the message released
She found out and tried to treat my head like a tee
(Seinfield Skit)
Embarrassments an understatement
As I annihilate the very thing that once was sacred
See my desire for the lust, fucked up what was love
Street fighter ho, she had that Tiger upper cut
Now they comin out the woodworks snitchin' on me
Once Mr. Woods was all good, Now a nigga only
You see now that nigga lonely
And losin all his money
Still hear that laughin' under breath while the Orlando police
See that's insult to injury
Now I'm losin everything as they began the lynch in me
Turnin on ESPN you see they got it in for me
And they won't stop until they got my legacy in infamy
Infamy can't deal wit it
She gon get the mils for this
Don't root for me
They boo for me
And cheer for Phillip Nickleson
Vijay Singh and all of them
They gon stop acknowlegin'
Have they all forgot who made this golf shit hot again
Shit, How quickly they turn on a nigga
Yet, it is forever and a day to forgive and forget one
I'm forever a nigga
Guess when I knew the verdict
I thought of Bill Clinton
I looked at Roethlisberger
As the politics surface, I ain't hardly workin'
I'm gettin help for this addiction, now golf ain't important
But I'm sorry for the damage I have done
For all the pedicures I've given to their camel toes they bring
I know I'm wrong now
Can we get along now?
Would I stay with her, or separate or move along now
Okay you wrong now
We don't get along now
Three quarter bills later
Maybe guess you get it all now
For the intro and the outro, Wale samples Tiger Woods speaking. The intro is the famous voicemail urging his side dish to remove her name from her voicemail message. It also samples him making his public apology. The outro has him apologizing to everyone. He also samples a Seinfield quote when he talks about apologizing to continue with the "More About Nothing" Seinfeld theme.
Wale raps about the Tiger Woods sex scandal through the eyes of Tiger Woods and talks about some of the things he had to go through.

// First of all, CMissile (I assume) has previous and next pointers
// They need to be nullified in the CMissile constructor
// Now, you need to decide which classes are going to do what work
// Right now, you are mixing management of the missile linked list in the enemy and the missile class
// I highly recommend putting the linked list management in the hands of the missile class, so that
// it is easier to use elsewhere (like in the player code)
// So first, a function to add a missile to the list
// This will work no matter which member of the list you call from, since it automatically finds the end of the list
void CMissile::AddMissile(CMissile *missile)
// Get the last entry in this linked list
CMissile *node = this;
while( node->next ) {
node = node->next;
// Node is now the last item in the list, so we need to set its next entry to our new missile
node->next = missile;
missile->prev = node;
// Now our new missile is in the list
// Next, a function to remove a missile from the list
// To use this, have the missile you want to remove call the function
void CMissile::RemoveSelf()
// Have the previous entry point to our next entry
if( prev )
prev->next = next; // This works even if our next is null - it just sets it to null, like we want
// Do the same for our next entry
if( next )
next->prev = prev;
// Now we are out of the list, we just have to delete ourself
// Destroying the entire list is simple. By having the destructor delete the next entry in the list, then the
// list will recursively self-destruct. The only requirement is to delete from the first entry
// If you want to delete a single entry from the list only, then you call RemoveSelf() first, so deleting the
// entry will have no effect on the rest of the entries
if( next )
delete next;
next = NULL;
prev = NULL; // We dont delete the previous entry, that is already being deleted
// Your Explode function can now look like this:
void CMissile::Explode(CMissile *ent)
testing = Distance2(origin,neworg);
if(Distance2(origin,neworg) > distance) {
// The entire explode function is a little weird. Why don't you just have a function called ShouldExplode
// that checks the distance, and returns a bool on whether it should explode. Then if it should, you could remove the
// missile from the list and delete it
// FireWeapon needs to be rewritten too. It should look like this now:
void CEnemy::FireWeapon(CVector3 org, int weapon)
if(timeFromStart - lasttime < 320)
// Create our new missile
weaptemp2 = new CMissile;
// If we already have a list, add it to our list
missile->AddMissile( weaptemp2 );
// Otherwise, set our list to our new missile
missile = weaptemp2;
// missile should always point to the first item in the list, while weaptemp2 is trivial
// weaptemp2 could point to the last entry (if you dont change it, this add code will do that)
switch (weapon) {
// ...
// One more change - the destructor
// You have to destroy the list, so you must do this:
if( missile ) delete missile;
missile = NULL;
// Now, as you know, the entire list should recursively self-destruct! w00t!
// That should do it, hope that helps.

Prosthetic Limbs for Horses: A Closer Look
- Apr 10, 2011
- Topics:
Horses have traditionally been considered obligate four-legged animals; however, the dogma is changing. Three-legged horses that walk easily with the assistance of a prosthetic limb are not as uncommon as they once were.
Case in point: Midnite is a 4-year-old Miniature Horse who was seized from an allegedly neglectful owner. He was placed at Ranch Hand Rescue in Argyle, Texas, where staff members were instantly faced with the fact that the colt had no hoof on his right hind leg. His new caretakers contemplated euthanizing the Midnite for humane reasons, but instead, began exploring the possibility of a prosthesis. Not long after, he was fitted with a prosthetic limb and now leads a relatively normal life at the rescue, galloping and playing with the help of his new leg.
According to Ted P. Vlahos, DVM, MS, Dipl. ABVP, of Sheridan Equine Hospital PC, in Wyo., who is experienced in working with equine prosthetics, one of the keys to successful management of a horse with a prosthesis is working with a certified prosthetist to ensure proper molding, fitting, and construction of the artificial limb.
"All of our prosthetic limbs have been custom made by our local human prosthetic company, Hanger Prosthetics and Orthotics in Sheridan," Vlahos said. There are also several companies that specialize in equine prosthetics.
The limbs are typically made of either laminate or carbon graphite with a titanium post, and polyurethane foam liners are used to ensure a proper fit. There is a stainless steel rocker foot plate with borium on the ground surface to provide traction.
"Once the prosthesis is applied, we carefully monitor the limb for several days to ensure that the foam liners and padding are adequate," Vlahos added, as inadequate padding can lead to pressure sores on the stump of the leg.
Prosthetics also include shock absorbers to lessen the pressure on the stump. Some prosthetics are also equipped to bend, making it easier for the horse to lie down and stand back up.
Vlahos noted that each prosthetic company differs in price, but in recent years a prosthesis from his supplier has cost around $5,000. Each prosthesis should last for several years, he added.
These prosthetic legs are not maintenance-free, Vlahos added. The horse will wear a human prosthetic sock that requires changing approximately every one to two days. Additionally, the straps that hold the prosthesis in place and the foam liners require periodic replacement.

Megan might be remaining mum on the state of her relationship to Brian, but she's quick to shoot down rumors that she rebounded with "Twilight" star Robert Pattinson.Read the entire article at Access Hollywood.
"I just randomly asked someone for a light and it was him. That was the extent of our 'relationship,'" she said of the brooding vampire star. "But I'm sure there's going to be a different guy every week now."
And Megan would like the world to know that Pattison is not her type anyway – the same goes for Zac Efron.
"He and Zac— they're just too pretty with the big hair and the suits. And Rob is, what, 22? Zac is 21? That's a joke," Megan said. "Boys in their twenties are a waste of time. They have nothing to offer conversationally; they're immature. I feel like I have a better shot with someone in his thirties."

Equine WNV, EEE Case Totals Continue to Rise
Vaccinating horses against WNV and EEE coupled with mosquito control are the most important ways to minimize an animal's chances of becoming infected.
Photo: Anne M. Eberhardt/The Horse
Although cooler temperatures have arrived in many parts of the country, the number of equine West Nile virus (WNV) and Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) cases still continues to rise.
At their most recent update on Oct. 30, the USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) reported that 566 cases of equine WNV had been confirmed nationwide since the start of the year; in that same time span, 195 EEE cases had been diagnosed. As of Nov. 6, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) disease maps indicated that the WNV and EEE totals had risen to 620 and 204, respectively.
At most recent update, the USGS reported that Texas (100 cases), Louisiana (62 cases), Pennsylvania (50 cases), and California (45 cases) have tallied the most WNV cases this year. Louisiana (56 cases), Mississippi (31 cases), and Florida (29 cases) have reported the most EEE cases, also according to the USGS.
Another mosquito-borne disease, Western equine encephalitis, has not been identified in the United States this year.
According to APHIS disease maps, 2012 has seen the most WNV cases confirmed in the United States since 2006 when 1,086 cases were confirmed nationwide. The EEE case total has risen to more than triple last year's total (60 cases); however, it is still lower than the 247 and 301 cases seen in 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Vaccinating horses against WNV and EEE coupled with mosquito control are the most important ways to minimize an animal's chances of becoming infected. In the northern regions of the United States, most veterinarians recommend vaccinating horses in the spring prior to peak mosquito levels. In the south, where mosquito populations are present year-round, veterinarians might recommend more frequent vaccination.
Minimizing mosquito populations near your horses by eliminating mosquito breeding and resting areas will make it more difficult for the insects to bite and infect horses and the people who care for them.
For example, reduce or eliminate sources of stagnant or standing water, remove muck from areas near the horses, stable horses during peak mosquito periods (i.e., dawn and dusk), use equine-approved mosquito repellants, place fans inside the barns or stalls to maintain air movement, keep weeds and grass trimmed, and avoid using incandescent bulbs inside stables at night. Instead, place incandescent bulbs away from the stables to attract mosquitoes to areas away from horses.

I have been over this issue with ZoneAlarm technical support SEVERAL times and I am hoping that someone on this forum can help me to figure out a way to solve the problem I'm having.
I upgraded from ZA Extreme 10.1.056 to 10.1.079 several months ago. After the upgrade, ForceField stopped working. I finally figured out what the issue was by killing ForceField.exe and restarting it - this brought up the ForceField icon in the alert bar (right hand side of taskbar). (I learned this little trick from ZoneAlarm the last time a ForceField live update asserted itself...)
The ForceField license indicated that it was expired - I had just renewed by ZA extreme license and had ZA extreme was showing the correct license information.
I then proceeded to go through several weeks, and several tech reps, of uninstalling ZA, cleaning the registry, etc., to no avail. The only thing that works is to uninstall ForceField (using the uninstall.exe in the ForceField folder) with the /rmlicense switch and then completely reinstall ZA extreme.
I have submitted debug information to ZA and have been told that no communication from development would be forthcoming but that a fix MIGHT be rolled into an upcoming version/update.
Can anyone help me??? I am really getting tired of re-installing ForceField every 15 days - when the trial license period expires - which is what ForceField seems to think.
Thanks in advance for any help/guidance you can provide on solving this issue.

MORELIA, Mexico – The LA Galaxy's mixed roster of veterans and youngsters has served them well this season, but it's up to the big brothers of the team as a new challenge awaits this week.
Heading into the team's huge CONCACAF Champions League Group A matchup against Mexican side Monarcas Morelia on Tuesday (8 pm ET, Fox Soccer), it's up to club veterans like Landon Donovan, Frankie Hejduk and Jovan Kirovski to lead the way for those new to suiting up in Mexico.
"Some of the younger guys, the guys who haven't been there, we'll drive it home over the next few days, mainly to expect the unexpected in these situations," Donovan said ahead of the Galaxy's match. "There are a lot of different things that can happen, a lot of things go against you, but you've got to continue to stay positive and keep going. Teams who do that get results in difficult places."
Morelia certainly qualifies as a difficult place. Twice, Monarcas have hosted MLS teams in CONCACAF tournaments and each time come away with wins. They've beaten Columbus and Chicago in prior CONCACAF tournaments at Estadio Morelos in the past.
And although they might not be a traditional power in Mexico, the hosts have a built-in advantage.
"It's a game at altitude so it's kind of like playing Colorado at their place," defender Todd Dunivant said of Morelia, located at roughly 6,300 feet above sea level, a full 1,000 feet higher than Denver. "It's not going to be easy. It's not an easy place to get a win."
Having the chance to see Donovan, who has long been a villain for Mexican national team fans, will likely drive the locals out en masse. A hostile crowd could be waiting for the Galaxy on Tuesday, and it's then that the team's experience could come into play.
"There are a lot of ancillary things going on that can distract you," Donovan said. "Our goal and our focus needs to be on what's going on, on the field. A play doesn't go your way, a call doesn't go your way, a bounce doesn't go your way, you've got to get on with it.
"Sometimes you can get away with those things when you're playing in MLS but you can't get away with that in this competition," he added. "You've got to make sure we're real good with those things."
Despite wins in Mexico earlier this summer from FC Dallas and the Seattle Sounders, Mexican teams have traditionally rattled MLS clubs to the tune of just two MLS wins in 26 attempts south of the border.
But for the Galaxy – who lead group A with six points in two matches after a win over Costa Rican side Alajualense their last time out – there's hope that Mexico's grip on MLS loosens just a bit more this time around.
"It's a big help when have guys who have had that savvy-ness in those kinds of games and those kinds of stages," Dunivant said. "If you are a team who hasn't seen the before, it can be overwhelming to handle it. Our roster is full of guys who have played in those kinds of games, those kinds of environments and it will make a huge difference."

WASHINGTON, July 30 (UPI) -- Former U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney said he thinks Barack Obama is "one of our weakest presidents," and worse than ex-President Jimmy Carter.
"I obviously am not a big fan of President Obama. I think he's been one of our weakest presidents," Cheney, a Republican, told ABC News Sunday. "I just fundamentally disagree with him philosophically. I'd be hard put to find any Democratic president that I've disagreed with more."
Pressed if he thought Obama was worse than Carter, Cheney said, "Yes."
Cheney gave credit to Obama for killing al-Qaida founder Osama bin Laden, but qualified his praise by saying, "[A] lot of that intelligence that laid the groundwork for what ultimately led to the capture of Bin Laden [was] as a result of programs we had in place in the Bush administration."
He also criticized Obama's plans to withdraw troops from Iraq and Afghanistan.
"We should not be running for the exits," Cheney said. "We should not be turning our backs on our friends in that part of the world."
In the wide-ranging interview, Cheney, 71, said he had no regrets concerning his vice presidency. Cheney was one of the most unpopular vice presidents when he left office.
"I'm very comfortable with what I did, and why I did it, and how I did it," he said, later adding, "You can't be judged, and shouldn't judge, people in those senior levels by the polls."

When he hurt her, they weren't together yet, and they were fighting, and she compared him to his dad deliberately to provoke him. Even imprinted werewolves do have some feelings and actions that don't directly relate to the object of their imprinting - or you could argue that she wanted him to get mad, so he did. The story about what happened after the injury is really great.

The Twitter account for Myles Garrett (Arlington, Texas/Martin) tells half truth.
Garrett's bio reads, "The big silly guy who plays football? Yea thats me," and those who know Garrett know he enjoys to laugh and joke around. What the Twitter page doesn't tell is just how athletically gifted the ESPN Watch List defensive end is. In fact, in addition to being the silly guy, friends have a nickname for him that seems to fit.
"They call me Superman," Garrett said. "I guess it's cool. It makes me laugh."
For starters, Garrett stands an intimidating 6-foot-5 and 247 pounds. Put him on the track, and he leaves jaw-dropping statistics. He's run the 40-yard dash in 4.55 seconds.
Put him in the weight room, and Garrett's even more impressive. He bench presses 400 pounds and squats 550. Additionally, Garrett has a 34-inch vertical.
Alabama and Texas Tech are the latest schools to recognize Garrett's skills. He added those in with offers from Ohio State, Texas, Texas A&M, Michigan, Oklahoma, Notre Dame, TCU and several others.
"It lets me know I'm doing good work on the field and in the weight room," Garrett said of the offers. "I'm working hard and will keep working hard through next season -- and after that."
Garrett was an honorable-mention all-state selection as a junior, finishing with 66 tackles, nine sacks, an interception, a fumble recovery and a blocked field goal. Of those 66 tackles, 51 were solo tackles, and 17 went for losses.
Garrett said no school is considered a front-runner at the present time, but his only upcoming visit will be April 5 for Texas A&M's "Friday Night Lights" scrimmage. Aside from that, Garrett will focus on spring football and is expected to compete in the Nike Football Training Camp in Allen, Texas, on April 7.

This couple filmed themselves from very early in the pregnancy until birth — paying special attention to the mom-to-be's belly — and edited it all into a 95-seond video. Check out how their home changes (they even move!), and how the mom-to-be's body changes, throughout nine months. At the end, they're a family of three with new baby Amelie Amaya in their arms. Amazing!
What do you think of this video? How have you documented your pregnancy?

As we prepare to celebrate Independence Day, we should reflect on what our Founding Fathers did when they established this nation. Their concept of liberty was rooted in dependence upon God. The Founders held that it is only when God is seen as the source of our right to life can that right be secure from tyrranical governments who would threaten it. That is why the Declaration of Independence says that the right to life is bestowed by the Creator, and that governments exist to secure that right.
Can anything be more American than to work to restore this foundation of our government, and to secure the right to life? Let us be fearless and unashamed to say we are pro-life, and to teach others that our American independence demands it.

- At `analyze` in analyzer.clj we can detect constants. Each one should be entered into a map, likely a dynamic var bound to an atom containing a map. This map should map each constant's original form to a unique identifier, possibly some human readable prefix like `cljs$constant$vector$` plus a short ID of some kind. Note many constants will be composed recursively of constants.
- alternatively this could be done in the compiler via an AST pass?
- In the compiler when we emit we can instead emit a reference to a lookup table that we will generate later
- In closure.clj we will emit this table after we emit core.cljs .but before any user code
- Initially this should be an option in order to give time to understand the overhead of this implicit initial allocation for ClojureScript programs.

Corruption flows freely along U.S.-Mexico border
The Los Angeles Times, 13 May 2012

Richard A. Serrano
COLUMBUS, N.M. — From a small hill at a state park here, the border town of Palomas, Mexico, can be made out through the desert haze. It lies four miles to the south, but the corruption that roils Palomas and the rest of Northern Mexico may as well be a block away.
Last year,
black sedans and hatchbacks loaded with federal agents poured into Columbus, a town of 2,000 people, arresting the mayor, the police chief, a city trustee and nine others. They have all pleaded guilty in a gun-smuggling operation that sold about 100 firearms, mostly assault rifles, to Mexican drug cartels.
"Unfortunately, the border is just one vast conspiracy," said Howard Anderson, the lawyer for former Mayor Eddie Espinoza.

Most of that impact, about $5.3 million, is felt by Hot Springs and Garland County, according to the study released Wednesday by the Center for Business and Economic Research in the Sam M. Walton College of Business at the University of Arkansas.
"A lot of that (impact) is tourism industry-related for lodging and restaurants," Bob Byers, associate to the executive director at the gardens, said Wednesday.
"Another big chunk is the employees we provide. We have about 30 full-time and quite a few season workers. We also have an impact on other businesses, so when you put all the pieces together, it gets to be a pretty significant impact," he said.
The report, written by Kathy Deck, director of the Center for Business and Economic Research, and her staff notes that the gardens' annual Holiday Lights display is traditionally the single-largest attraction. More than 27,000 people have seen the display since it opened Nov. 17.
"We've had some attendance issues with cold weather and rain lately, but we're up about 36 percent on average on attendance since we started the show and almost 100 percent on (admission) revenue," Byers said.
He said a price increase this year may have had some influence on attendance.
"We tried to keep that very affordable for families but our expenses are going up like everyone else's, so we have raised our prices this year, which influences that a little bit," he said.
The report also said that every $1 spent in connection with the gardens has an economic impact of $1.78 in Garland County and $1.82 in the state. Additionally, the gardens generates about $283,000 in state and local income, sales and property taxes received from employees, companies and households. Most of that - about $259,000 - is in Garland County.
"We're not at the point yet where we have prepared food service," that would collect the city's 3-cent advertising and promotion tax, "but we expect that to be something we develop in the future as the gardens grow," Byers said.
"The first master plan predicted 250,000 visitors by 2030, so if we reach that level, we'll be having an even more substantial impact than we have now," he said.
The UA report also states that, in fiscal year 2012, the gardens had a record 138,478 paid admissions, school field trips attracted 1,538 visitors, and 1,369 attended 55 educational programs for adults.
Art and photography exhibits, special events ranging from Daffodil Days to a bridal fair, the summer Children's Adventure Programs and more than 150 weddings brought large groups of visitors to the gardens.
About 73 percent of the visitors come from Arkansas, with 19.5 percent from Texas or other neighboring states, and about 8 percent from other states or foreign countries.
"Other things we're doing with our new marketing campaign is to reach out to members and young families. This is such a tremendous recreational and educational resource for parents that we're really trying to push this to encourage young folk who don't use the gardens as much as they might to come out and see what is going on," Byers said.
The report also points out that Garvan Woodland Gardens "has strong community support" in Garland County, and notes there were 2,776 members in 2011 and volunteers contributed 17,575 hours of work to the gardens.
"We appreciate the support of the community," Byers said.
"None of this would have happened without so many great donors, members, and general support of the business community, the advertising and promotion commission, and the city. Everyone has been very helpful," he said.
Garvan Woodland Gardens was founded by Verna Cook Garvan, a southern Arkansas businesswoman who bequeathed the property to the department of landscape architecture at the University of Arkansas through the University of Arkansas Foundation in 1993.

|Flying out to Oregon 2 days before my climb of Mt Hood left me with a day to explore. I thought a hike out to Buck Peak would be a nice way to spend a day.I summitted via Lost lake and the Huckleberry trail. Great hike but drizzled all day so no views. I was able to pick out the peak from the Sunshine route on Mt Hood 2 days later.

|From Lost Lake
Date Climbed: Aug 31, 2008
|Started from my campsite on bike. Rode about 2 miles to the trailhead then hike a biked and rode the 2 miles to the PCT, where I left my bike. Hiked up the PCT in increasingly bad weather. Found the summit trail, which was VERY overgrown but easy to follow with a few large downed trees to climb over. Was very wet, I was soaked by the time I made it back down to the PCT. Back down the PCT to my bike for the ride down to the lake, which was fun but cold on the hands. 2:20 up, 1:40 down. Temp in the low 40's and rain on and off. One good thing was the mosquitos that hiway99 mentions were here last week were all gone. Would have been nice to have had a view though.

Date Climbed: Aug 23, 2008
|A nice sunny day for a hike (for a change) with temperatures in the mid-seventies. Abundant, aggressive mosquitoes along much of the trail (much worse on the return trip--it was literally impossible to stop along the trail without getting swarmed). The short summit trail was overgrown but not difficult to follow. The view of Mt. Hood from the summit (and along the trail) was worth the effort. Buck Peak itself was relatively mosquito-free. Saw five Cascade snow peaks: Rainier, St. Helens, Adams, Hood, and Jefferson.

|Huckleberry Mountain route, take two.
Date Climbed: Jun 10, 2006
|Huckleberry trail is now clear of snow to the PCT. Still several big blowdowns to go over or around. The snow is rapidly dissappearing from the PCT.
One dangerous stretch will take another week or two for the trail to melt out. About a mile south of Buck Peak, the USGS shows the trail traversing the southwest side of the crest. The trail has been relocated to stay east of the county line (and out of the Bull Run Watershed). This reroute crosses some steep, north facing, snow covered slopes. I was glad to have an ice axe.

Date Climbed: May 28, 2006
|Tried the Huckleberry Mountain approach from Lost Lake. Raining steadily, freezing level 5000 ft or lower. Trail disappeared under snow at 3900 feet. Deep snow on PCT portion. Half a dozen big blowdowns to go over and around on the Huckleberry portion. Made it to the saddle north of Preachers Pulpit before deciding the last 2 - 3 miles would have to be another day.

|On Thanksgiving Day 2002 I had scouted the area south of Wahtum Lake in the Indian Mountain area and finally discovered the Indian Springs campground, which seemed like the perfect place to head south for Buck Peak. So the next spring I headed straight for that spot, and hiked the 11.5 mile RT to Buck Peak. It was mostly a downgrade at first, so all that elevation had to be regained on the return hike. The only bummer was the clouds that kept me from seeing Mt. Hood, but I had seen it wonderfully on the scouting trip in November. The area provides fantastic vistas of the north and west sides of Hood.

|On a very hot summer day, my son in law Andrew and his brother Jeff and I made the 15 mile round trip to nab Buck Peak. I had the pleasure of meeting another county highpointer at the trailhead, Roxanne of Trapper and Roxanne fame. (famous in the county highpointer circle). The mosquitoes made the hike nastier than it should have been and yet, the trip was a nice hike overall. Buck Peak is found on a little way trail, off of the main PCT.

Getting Into the Gen Y Mindset
You can't open up a trade publication or attend a credit union conference these days without hearing about Gen Y. These are the members who need loans and are key to our credit unions' survival. How can credit unions start reaching out to this generation, and where can they start?
First, learn how they think. The same tactics and language that has worked over the years is outmoded. If you feel so removed from Gen Y you don't know where to start, create an advisory group of young adults to inform you. Ask them questions. Learn their motivations and behaviors. Credit unions can play the part of service provider and mentor. You'll create savvier, more grateful future members.
Young adults crave instant access to information and the ability to share and compare experiences with friends. For many of them Google, Amazon, and Wikipedia have always been there. This is great if your products are relevant and differentiated. The opportunities for young adults to share and promote a product they like are limitless. But that will only happen if there's a compelling reason to share. And at the same time, that same access to information and recommendations make for a very mobile group of consumers that are likely to switch providers quickly if they're not satisfied. Technology is a double-edged sword: a big help to your business if you're keeping up with it and a deal breaker if you aren't.
Young adults experience many firsts–first cars, first job, first year of college and first home to name a few. These firsts create several unique needs credit unions are well-positioned to fill. Many young adults need clear and meaningful advice and guidance just as much as they need that first loan. The youngest of them will have no credit whatsoever, so using a smart mix of products and education to help them build credit and knowledge is a tremendous opportunity for credit unions.
The path to young adult and teen members starts with their parents. Build relationships with high school students before they head off for college through a low-limit first credit card product, student branching, or reality fairs. By establishing these relationships early on, your credit union well be well-positioned to offer loans to younger members, and those members will be well-positioned to make smart financial decisions.
Molly Whitfield is a member service representative/loan officer at Consumers Credit Union in Kalamazoo, Mich.
The Crash Network is a grassroots organization of more than 100 young credit union professionals. Its activities include meetings, mentorships online collaboration and development projects. Opinions expressed are the personal views of the author.

Corpse Fauna - Moths
Some of the familiar clothes moths (Family Tineidae) feed on mammalian hair during their larval stages. Adult moths lay their eggs on a carcass after all the fly larvae have finished with it. On hatching, their larvae forage on any hair that remains. Tineid moths are therefore the final animals contributing to the decomposition of a carcass.

Bishop backtracks on Gillard allegation
Deputy opposition leader Julie Bishop has backtracked on her claim that Julia Gillard helped "hide" the creation of an incorporated entity set up by two union officials in the 1990s.
The prime minister on Tuesday accused the coalition of taking the word of a confessed fraudster and a former One Nation strategist as she faced a second question time almost entirely devoted to the establishment of the Australian Workers' Union Workplace Reform Association.
Before question time, Ms Bishop, who led the coalition attack, alleged Ms Gillard had helped conceal the controversial association by not creating a file on the advice she gave AWU office holders Bruce Wilson and Ralph Blewitt when she was employed by a law firm.
The West Australian Liberal frontbencher offered no evidence to support her allegation, despite meeting union bagman Mr Blewitt, who last week gave Victorian police statements on three AWU-related matters.
Ms Bishop confirmed she met Mr Blewitt for about 10 minutes in Melbourne on Friday but he was unable to produce any documents she "could ask the prime minister about".
As a lawyer with Slater & Gordon in the 1990s, Ms Gillard provided legal advice to her then partner, Mr Wilson, and Mr Blewitt about the incorporation of "an association" in 1992.
Mr Wilson and Mr Blewitt then allegedly used accounts under the name of the WA entity to hive off hundreds of thousands of dollars. No charges were laid despite an investigation.
They both deny benefiting financially, and blame the other.
Mr Wilson says there was no fraud on his part, nor did Ms Gillard ever benefit financially.
He admitted seeking legal advice from Ms Gillard, who he said advised the pair on how to register the association after he encountered "technical problems" during his own attempts.
He feels bad Ms Gillard is repeatedly grilled about the matter blaming it on a group of people want to do damage to the prime minister.
"I feel sorry for her that she has to go through it, it is just not warranted," he told the ABC 7:30 report on Tuesday.
Ms Gillard has denied any involvement in the association beyond giving advice that was so "low level" she didn't charge for it or open an in-house file.
Ms Bishop told reporters on Tuesday morning the "unauthorised association" breached WA law and AWU internal rules.
"The reason she didn't open a file within Slater & Gordon - a file that would have shown a new legal entity was set up - was because she and Wilson and Blewitt wanted to hide from the AWU the fact that an unauthorised entity was being set up," Ms Bishop said.
Asked later about her claim, Ms Bishop backtracked.
"There are only two members of the association - she wasn't a member of the association," she told reporters after question time.
"Wilson and Blewitt ... are the ones who benefited from the slush fund."
Asked directly whether she was alleging Ms Gillard was a knowing party to fraud, Ms Bishop said: "I still have questions to ask of the prime minister."
Mr Wilson said Mr Blewitt was the only one with access to money - adding Mr Blewitt used to bury it in packages in his garden.
"How do I know that? He confessed at some stage and he also showed me a package of money that he ... had been destroyed (by moisture)".
Mr Blewitt told Sky television's Showdown program he constantly took money out of the fund but didn't keep it. He says he had no idea what happened to it because he gave it to Mr Wilson.
Ms Gillard told parliament the opposition's attack was based on a false premise.
She said the establishment of the association was not secret, because it was advertised for public comment in the West Australian newspaper public notices section in March 1992.
She also said Ms Bishop was relying in part on an discredited affidavit drafted by former One Nation figure John Pasquarelli on behalf of former AWU Victorian branch president Bob Kernohan.
Former AWU official Bill Shorten, who is mentioned in the affidavit, has dismissed it as false.
Cabinet minister Anthony Albanese compared Ms Bishop's meeting with Mr Blewitt to the Godwin Grech affair which led to the downfall of Malcolm Turnbull as opposition leader in December 2009.
Mr Albanese said Ms Bishop was "meeting with a scumbag to try and bring down a prime minister" and that her position was untenable.
Mr Abbott praised the efforts of Ms Bishop at a joint parties meeting, telling colleagues the prime minister's "lack of integrity" went to the heart of the Labor government.

text: I used to have the double-length feature on VHS back in the day, and I used to watch it quite often because they're brilliant episodes. I had this tape before I saw part one by itself, and remember being quite shocked at the amazing cliffhanger that i missed out on. I may be remembering wrong, but I think the musical cue at the end of part one is a bit truncated in the edited-together version. There was definitely no cut to black. I do remember either Dr. Crusher's wig changed, or the lighting did, between dramatic moments. Must have been the shock.


text: I quit Enterprise near the start of season 3. I thought seasons 1 and 2 were generally mediocre with a handful of utter atrocities like the 'Teaching the village to defend itself from Klingons' episode or the one where they pulled the prime directive out of their butts and used it as an excuse not to treat a plague. The last straw for me was when Phlox prescriped Trip erotic vulcan massages to cure his headaches and they led to a makeout session. But, this board has convinced me to give it another chance, so I'm starting fresh from the start of season 3. It's not as bad as I remember so far but still has nothing much to hook me. Some of the story ideas are good, but the dialog is aggressively on the nose all the time. "You won't torture me captain. You're too moral!" Yeah, that's true, he can't torture you because he's too moral. But *please* find a more interesting way to say it! But nothing to drive me off yet, so I'll keep watching for now.

Event Preview: 2012 Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast
In just a few days, the 2012 ASP World Tour kicks off on the Gold Coast of Australia. It's a fresh slate for all and an opportunity for someone to take the World Title from recently turned 40 years young Kelly Slater and women's phenom Carissa Moore. Joining the party in Coolangatta will be Quiksilver wildcard Dane Reynolds who quit the World Tour last year in favor of free surfing. And while Dane is considered one of the most progressive surfers in the world, he'll have to do his best to keep up with the high-flying antics of Kolohe Andino, Gabriel Medina, Miguel Pupo and tour newcomers like John John Florence and Yadin Nicol.
Surf wise, we're looking at a nice swell around the time the event starts. The issue is the lack of sand built up at Snapper--it's basically a hole right now. However, that can change in the span of a few hours after sand is pumped from the Tweed River and into the lineup. If Snapper isn't up to par, Joel Parkinson reports that Duranbah has good sandbars right now. But the real draw out of the three spots would be a big East swell at Kirra like we saw a few years ago. Cross your fingers and pray to Huey, the swell God of Australia.
Who: The top 34 men (plus the Moskova Trials winner and Quiksilver wildcard Dane Reynolds) and the Top 17 women from the ASP World Tour.
What: The Quiksilver Pro And Roxy Pro Gold Coast. Events #1 of the 2012 ASP World Tour season.
Where: The Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast can run at Snapper Rocks, Duranbah, or Kirra but Snapper is the main location.
When: The waiting period is from February 25 to March 7. A call will be made each day at 7am as to whether or not the comp will run that day.
How: Watch the event live at quiksilverlive.comor watch it live on FUEL TV in Australia.
Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast Betting Odds From Surfbet.au
Kelly Slater 5.01 to 1
Joel Parkinson 6.51 to 1
Mick Fanning 7.01 to 1
Jordy Smith 12.02 to 1
Gabriel Medina 18.03 to 1
John John Florence 18.03 to 1
Brett Simpson 81.14 to 1

TWS Editor Picks And Predictions
Editor In Chief Chris Coté
Quiksilver Pro Winner: Josh Kerr or Julian Wilson. I'd tell you who my pick to win the World Tour is too, but you'll have to wait till the new issue comes out.
Roxy Pro Winner: C-Moore! Carissa is the WOMAN!
Best Performance By A Newcomer: Kolohe on right hand points all day--he's got a solid shot at winning this event.
Dark Horse Pick: Watching Alejo Munoz out there last year was pretty sick, he's poised to do very well, especially if the waves are in the chest to head high range.
Shocker: Julian Wilson or Josh Kerr will complete the first ever complete 720 alley oop in competition. Julian Wilson will do a front-shuv and ride switch in to a switch backside air--people will shit themselves.

Quiksilver Pro Winner: Mick Fanning. He's nice and rested, he's got his mojo back, and you can't go wrong with that home field advantage.
Roxy Pro Winner: Carissa. Last year was the start of the Carissa dynasty and now we're in the midst.
Best Performance By A Newcomer: I have to go with Kolohe. I can't imagine a place anymore perfect for numerous fins-out blasters followed by a frontside three in his typical fashion.
Dark Horse Pick: See above.

Quiksilver Pro Winner: Julian Wilson. I think he got robbed last year and will come back to Snapper this year with a fire in his belly.
Roxy Pro Winner: After her win at the Australian Open, Sally Fiztgibbons has the hot hand right now.
Best Performance By A Newcomer: Kolohe Andino--the ramps at Snapper stand no chance against him.
Dark Horse Pick: Brett Simpson. He'll be shredding on his JS' and who in their right mind gave him 81 to 1 odds to win? He's way better than that.
Shocker: After winning the Quiksilver Pro, Dane Reynolds will make his triumphant return to the World Tour.
Managing Editor Casey Koteen
Quiksilver Pro Winner: It's going to be Gabriel Medina versus Slater in the final, with the old guy taking the win.
Roxy Pro Winner: Sally Fitz gets early revenge on Carissa.
Best Performance By A Newcomer: If Gabriel Medina wasn't in contention for rookie of the year last year, is he still a rookie until halfway through this year? If so, then he's the "rookie" to watch
Dark Horse Pick: Matt Wilko will make the semis.
Shocker: Taylor Knox does his first air in a heat--icicles form in hell.

FOR RELEASE: November 18, 1999
The Federal Maritime Commission today announced that Joseph E. Brennan has been sworn in as a member of the Commission. Commissioner Brennan has been appointed to a term that will expire June 30, 2003.
Commissioner Brennan, of Portland, Maine, comes to the Commission to continue a distinguished career of public service. After graduating from Boston College and then receiving a J.D. degree from the University of Maine School of Law, he became a representative in the Maine House in 1965. Mr. Brennan went on to serve as District Attorney for Cumberland County in Maine, as a Maine State Senator, and as the State's Attorney General. He was elected Governor of the State of Maine in 1979, a position he held until 1987, and also served as Chairman of the Conference of New England Governors and Eastern Canadian Premiers. He subsequently served in the U.S. House of Representatives until 1991, and then entered private practice as an attorney in Washington, D.C.
Chairman Harold J. Creel, Jr., praised Mr. Brennan in welcoming him to the agency: "We all are extremely pleased that Joe Brennan is joining us as our newest Commissioner. Joe brings a world of experience and knowledge to the Commission, and he definitely will enrich our deliberations. I have been very impressed with Joe's pragmatic approach to things, as well as his keen grasp of relevant issues. I am happy to have Joe as a colleague, and I look forward to working with him on the many important matters facing the ocean shipping industry."
The Commission is awaiting another change in membership as well. Commissioner Ming Hsu is scheduled to retire on December 31, 1999. Mr. Antony Merck of South Carolina has been appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate as a Commissioner, and will be joining the agency the first of next year upon Commissioner Hsu's retirement. Additional information on this transition will be provided at a later date.

The fact that the Walton's, Gates and the like are super wealthy is of no difference to me. Do you use windows, IPOD, shop at Walmart? You don't have to. Clooney, Speilberg? Why don't they lower ticket prices? how about they vow to donate all earnings in excess of say 500K?
Yet...I am forced to pay property taxes, income taxes , sales taxes to support what? We have too much government with workers retiring in their 50s. Please, take an economics class.
