Center for Research on Social Reality [Spain] Survey, December 1992: Mass Media (ICPSR 6060)
Principal Investigator(s): Centro de Investigaciones Sobre la Realidad Social (CIRES)
This data collection is part of a continuing series of semi-monthly surveys of individuals in Spain. Each survey consists of three sections. The first section collects information on respondents' attitudes regarding personal and national issues. This section includes questions on level of life satisfaction and frequency of relationships, as well as a rating of the importance of national issues. The second section varies according to the monthly topic, with this month's topic focusing on mass media. This section includes an inventory of the respondent's media-related household appliances, such as television sets, stereo equipment, and video cassette recorders. Among the issues investigated are the frequency and amount of time spent watching television, listening to radio, reading newspapers, magazines, and books, and attending concert and theater events. Information is also provided on respondents' preferences in programming or content and whether different media are experienced alone, in the company of others, or in conjunction with some other activity. In addition, the respondents' attitudes toward mass media in general and the perceived consequences on daily life are measured. The third section collects demographic data such as sex, age, religion, income, and place of residence.

ROSEVILLE, Mich. - A 33-year-old man was found shot Thursday morning in the driveway of his Roseville home.
Police said the man was shot once in the chest just after 6 a.m. in the 26000 block of Lehner Street, which is near Groesbeck Highway and I-696.
He's in stable condition at a nearby hospital.
Police said the victim's wife told them he had gone out to move his vehicle from the driveway when she heard shots. When she went out to see what had happened, she found her husband had been shot.
Neighbors Local 4 talked with said the incident has frightened everyone in the area.
Amy Eastep said she was leaving for work when she saw police out counting bullet casings on her street.
"It's scary, really scary," she said. "The neighborhood here is really quiet and nice. All the neighbors here, if you need anything, they will help you."
Next-door neighbor Quentin Coleman said he knows the victim and said he was a nice guy. He said he did what he could to help.
"I got up, I got dressed, I came out here and he was laying on the ground," Coleman said. "I helped him put pressure on it."
No one has been arrested.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Roseville Police Department at 586-447-4483.

No high schooler would know who rick brunson is, or understand why his name was mentioned in that manner. In no way did i compare rick brunson to the greats. My antagonism was towards a highlight reel being used to justify... Idk what yall thought it justified but i can do that with the leagues worst players and thwy will look exactly like those Steph ones. That's a fail from a very loyal poster. Notice i said loyal and not credible because just cuz you have 4 digit posts doesn't mean they're credible. And a highlight reel to prove someone is legit is just a smh, palm on face moment.

What has Rick Brunson done compared to that?
We all have real lives outside of this, congrats. But it doesn't really make sense to say something that stupid...I just hope you were being sarcastic. Not trying to bust your balls here, you're a great poster. But Rick Brunson? career 3rd string PG, Marbury is 21st all time in the NBA in assist. a career 20 and 8 PG. You never played professional ball, so it doesn't look credible on your part to say what Marbury has done is easy and accomplishable; most people haven't.
David Lee basically sustained his career by his passing skills, rebounding, shooting, and post moves. His defense isn't good yet, but it's improved. David Lee is playing up to his contract. I was hyped about STAT just like everyone else, but we forgot to take notice Phoniex fans werent sad that STAT left, they knew injuries were going to plague him and he was at the end of his superstardom.

It's not good.
It's excellent.
Those are videos of Marbury at his best, dude was a hell of a player and it's not fair to him to discredit his game. Marbury can eat baby sh*t on camera, it doesn't relate to his game. Marbury was one of the most unique PG's in our decade. Strongest at his position and incredible footwork and movement...he would of made a hell of a boxer.
Amare and Lee are closer than Marbury and Brunson...but really, not much to add to this convo.
Do you think Amar'e can play his way into making himself trade bait?
I don't know what's the market for him right now...last time i heard, Philly was interested but that was months ago.
They're waaaay closer then rick brunson and steph. i know that, i wasn't trying to imply any differently but with YouTube and the video editing software. Someone could attempt to make that case... We're stuck with that. For better or for worse.

Lee finished with 24pts 10rebs and 2stl against Blazers, limiting Aldridge to 7pts on 3-14 shooting.
I hope he will be All-Star this season he truly deserves it.

900,000 does seem an awful lot, That would cover every man, woman and child within the UK in less than 3 months. I'd love to see an actual breakdown of these numbers.
Android activations near a million a day
Almost a million Android devices are activated every 24 hours, according to Google's Andy Rubin. The company's senior VP of mobile stuff revealed the statistics through Twitter where, after insisting he had no plans to leave Google, claimed "there are over 900,000 Android devices activated each day". Androids on skateboards …
Rubin also went on to say that everyone on the planet should have an Android handset by this Friday afternoon and that Apple are rubbish.
Consider the mathematics:
3 months to supply everyone in one country with a single device. That device may not last two years (Galaxy S2 was announced Feb 2011, Galaxy S3 was announced May 2012) before it breaks, someone replaces it, it's obsolete, people get an upgrade from their contract supplier, etc.
That's actually not that much, because in two year's time you'll only take another 3 months to "supply" everyone in that country all over again. The people who never upgrade will be balanced by those with 2-3 phones, upgrade-frenzy, used devices, broken devices, lost devices, stolen devices etc.
Multiple that up by the 900,000 being *worldwide-sales* and having world-wide amounts of buyers and it's extremely plausible for a popular device. The question is not the number of activations, but the number of active accounts and/or the number of new, unique accounts CREATED only for the activation of an Android device. I'm sure Google know exactly how many people have an Android phone tied to their Google accounts, but they choose to quote *activations* instead. What about deactivations, for instance?
I think the number is very plausible, especially given the amount of people I've seen with an Android phone who don't even know it and a quick glance through even high-street stores like Argos or Carphone Warehouse show that most of their phones are actually Android nowadays. That's not counting things like tablets either (my mum has an Android tablet, for goodness sake).
Clearly it's only a small part
This is just the Google approved phones. (Basically any Android phone that has access to the Android Marketplace).
In addition there are:
All Android tablets
Unapproved Android phones
900K isn't that many
Nokia used to knock out 450M phones a year on their own.
900K/day is still only 320M/year, so no where near the sort of numbers Nokia used to achieve.
Metro Make Benefit Glorious Windows Phone 8
as you correctly note this 900k number is bogus because it doesn't include people getting fed up with their android phones and switching to windows phone which i have on reliable inside authority is now more than 100k/day and will be 500k/day by the end of august i use metro every day and am delighted every morning at its speed fluid operation and shiny shiny coloured tiles
900,000 isn't unrealistic. According to the best figures I can find quickly, during Q1 2011 Apple sold about 378,000 iPhones a day and 157,000 iPads. I've no idea about iPods, but presumably if we were to assume that in Google's terms each device gets counted as a single activation then we can conclude that Apple — then already behind Android in shipment totals — were doing at least 525,000 per day a year ago.
So for the OS that outsells Apple in a rapidly expanding market to be doing 900,000 a day a year later seems entirely realistic.
Re: reliable inside authority
Inside what?
@Lee Dowling
"...my mum has an Android tablet, for goodness sake." Right, there goes the coolness and street cred.
Re: Metro Make Benefit Glorious Windows Phone 8
LOL, funniest thing I read... Be careful, as it might all of the sudden find this crap as headline news on wmpoweruser.com
Re: Metro Make Benefit Glorious Windows Phone 8
"reliable information" throwing out absolutely bizarre numbers that are multiple times MS's own numbers... by an anonymous coward.
Yeah. OK.
Why not wait until it's actually 1m rather than 'more than 900,000'? WWDC is the only obvious explanation.
So I guess they're trying to get some developer attention away from iOS. Well Mr. Rubin, maybe you should tell us that the android app store is making more money for devs than iOS instead? I'd be a lot more interested in porting to android if it didn't mean 25% of the income for 4x the support cost and 4x the testing work.
Re: Odd...
The usual crybaby excuse. from iOS devs happy in the paid-for-cartel of iOS world.
With Android, there are already many good FREE alternatives to whatever app or game you sell on iOS. It upto YOU to make people want to pay for it (and if it's good enough, they will, I have plenty of paid for Android apps, when the cost is justified).
Just because your app or game is no better than free alternatives, don't come crying to us.
Re: Odd...
Now why cannot there be more of you helping me out with a Twitter argument with @GuardianTech? There's a FUDathon over there today... ;-)
Yes. I am a troll.
Re: Odd...
Lol, what? :D I don't get what you're actually trying to say, but it made me laugh.
I have a few popular iOS apps. Some free, some paid. I don't care too much which platform I write for, so long as it's possible to make something cool, and so long as it pays the bills. I don't see much point in writing for a platform that doesn't pay the bills - and therefore I'm not supporting WP7, blackberry or symbian.
Android I'd only consider in exceptional circumstances at the moment, because it does generally make only 1/4 of the money that the same app on iOS does. If you don't believe this, fine, but it's well documented, and it's why most devs still target iOS first and android second (again, go look it up - it's well documented).
Besides that, a lot of my work is highly performance critical. That's OK on iOS where there's only a few devices to consider, but on android? It's near impossible. I'd have to limit it to just the most popular devices, and certain OS versions - which limits the potential market massively, and is STILL a huge headache as I have to buy maybe 20 phones to test against. The fact that ICS uptake is so slow really hurts too, most devices are still on 2.x.
Re: Odd...
"The fact that ICS uptake is so slow really hurts too, most devices are still on 2.x."
Then develop for 'most devices', surely?
Or develop for ICS under the fair assumption that devices running that can meet a set of minimum specs.
I can see why anyone who has to make a living would go for the more profitable option but some of the gripes about Android seem a little shallow.
Not to mention the fact that getting in early to a more rapidly growing market might be the smarter, less short-termist move.
Re: Odd...
If I develop for "most devices" then I can't write cutting-edge stuff, which is what I do. So if I wrote for android, I'd have to limit it to devices with reasonable CPU + GPU specs (mainly GPU) and a recent android build (I think the APIs I'd require as a minimum weren't added until 3.x). That limits it a whole lot - and the 4:1 iOS:android income figures I've mentioned are from devs that are targeting a fairly wide range of devices, so I suspect it'd go from disappointing to outright painful for me :/
As to the 'getting in early' argument - maybe. Guess it depends on what you're building mainly. If I was building some new social game or something like that I'd definitely agree. I'm kind of wondering if the getting in early argument actually works better for WP7 though? I'm not convinced on the platforms future, but it could work out. (My own work would actually be outright impossible on that platform though, i've checked!)
Re: Odd...
"Android I'd only consider in exceptional circumstances at the moment, because it does generally make only 1/4 of the money that the same app on iOS does. If you don't believe this, fine, but it's well documented, and it's why most devs still target iOS first and android second (again, go look it up - it's well documented)."
Yeah, that seems about right, it seems a "crybaby excuse" is the new cool freetard way to describe a well considered commercial decision. I don't see many fewer free applications on iOS than on android in terms of variety, but I'd agree there's a hell of lot more v0.1 fodder on droid.
So sir, I applaud your rational commercial decision in the wake of the "crybaby" nonsense, because like you, unfortunately, when my Children are hungry all the hubris and vitriol in the world doesn't fill their bellies...
Re: Odd...
Sounds like you need some Android traning... Why would ICS takeup determine how you write your apps or games?
For games, screen resolution, yes.. GPU/CPU performance, yes, but OS??? Come on you have nicely demonstrated to the world how much you simply don't get Android... There is VERY little changed in the API between Android 2.3 and 4. Pretty much everything that has can be added using the support libraries (Fragments being the big one). http://developer.android.com/sdk/compatibility-library.html
I think they do Android training course here: http://android-developers.blogspot.co.uk/2011/12/introducing-android-training.html
What Now?
What a bunch of bunk. Those numbers simply don't make good sense. That's waaaaay too many new activations daily. If you take the existing base into account there can't be many people in Europe who don't use Android.
Re: What Now?
1. In europe a lot of people are buying android phones instead of a feature phone, because it looks so much better than the feature phones. They then mostly use it as a feature phone. This is why you see iOS usage figures (and app store profit) so much higher despite there being so many android devices.
2. All the 'developing markets'. This accounts for a huge chunk of android sales from what I've heard.
Re: What Now?
And, as somebody else has already pointed out further up the list, the number includes upgrades. I activated a new Android phone yesterday. But it was just my free upgrade.
So the figure seems OK to me.
Re: What Now?
Errm, not it's not bunk, it's fact. Sorry.. has it ruined your day?
Re: What Now?
And does that include simple OS upgrades? Verizon upgraded my Xoom to ICS last weekend, and according to Android Market, it was a new device. Does that count in the numbers, I wonder?
Re: What Now?
Nope. My day has been quite nice. The fact you had such a silly response simply illuminates my earlier points that some of the worst qualities of nerds are entitlement, lack of social skills and narcissism. Looks like you nailed them all.
My cheap chinese GB tablet must count for nearly a dozen activations ...
...because I've spent hours hacking into build.props, faking other device IDs to make it seen as compatible with more apps in the Play Store. At least Play Store certainly sees it as multiple different activated devices devices now :-)
Yet the iSheep still insist on the one with the wifi's and bigger geebee's
Some things never change: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FL7yD-0pqZg
i wonder
how many of those activations are on ICS though and how many are on older versions of Android because people are buying the older, yet cheaper, phones
I trust what I see more, and when I look around in public I see more people using iPhones than Android phones.
... and the world is flat and the sun flies daily through the heavens.
Confirmation Bias?
I wonder how much of this can be put down to a form of confirmation bias?
iPhones are fairly recognisable. There are only a certain number of shapes and sizes that they come in. The orignal iPhone, the very simular 3G, which was identical (case wise) to the 3GS, the iPhone 4, which again looks the same as the 4S. I make that 3 body shapes variations, 2 of which are dificult to tell apart.
Therefore it's easy to spot the iPhones, but not so easy to spot Androids. My San Franisco looks very different to my wife's Galaxy II, which is different to my bosses Sony something, which is different to...
The reason that you see more iPhones is because you know what you are looking for, not because there are more of them. 3 body shapes to spot, rather than hundreds of them, some of which are not what you expect.
Maybe that's because people with iPhones tend to like to take them out of their pocket and leave them on the table as a *cough* status symbol.
Not realising that they have gone the way of Burberry and Ben Sherman's...
I know!
What a shame for them eh? Fancy being seen with last decades tech. Tisk.
A design that looks like a kitchen circa 2000 (glass and stainless steel), and a UI that looks as attractive as 80's wallpaper.
Still, I suppose they will get with the times, eventually. They'll wait for the next incarnation of the behind the times idevice or switch to their competitors. After all Winows Phone UI looks like it was designed in 2012 (never mind what the hardware looks like) or 'Droid (which looks like it was deisgned in 2009).
It may just be
You really are noticing the little horns sticking out of the back of their head (go ahead, take a feel - you have them too!).
I suspect that says a lot more about where you go than about how many Android phones are being activated.
metro is indeed the future of computing
far from looking as if it was designed in 2012 it is so wonderful to use that it seems as if it were gifted to modern day man through a time portal from 20 years in the future. by 2015 users will have forgotten that apple ever existed such will be the overwhelming response to microsoft's gift to all
Look into my eyes, look deep into my eyes
So my wife bought herself a shiny new Android to upgrade her old dropped-in-the-sink-once-too-often Android which has gone in the bin. I helped her get it set up, and logged in under my ID for various reasons. We then wiped it, started over, and logged it in under hers.
So I am guessing the stats now show total activations: 3, and total devices: 2, when the numbers are actually 1 and 1.
Re: Look into my eyes, look deep into my eyes
"... I helped her get it set up..."
Oh THAT's a user-friendly OS. Setting it up is a two-person job. Who'd-a-thunk-it.
@Ed Bertle
Do you think your experience is common enough to make a significant difference to the figures?
I've had two android phones and made dozens of activations but I realise I am in a tiny minority - a much more significant minority with Android than any other phone OS, I am sure, but still an aberration that I doubt would emerge from the background noise of the bigger picture.
Re: @Ed Bertle
Dunno. It was more really a question around whether an activation is counted every time a freshly wiped device logs in to a new gmail account, or whether it's keyed to the IMEI in some way and each IMEI is counted once only.
Re: @Ed Bertle
It's per device - your scenario only one activation.
@Jim "careful what you say or you'll be reported" Coleman - I helped my dad set up his contacts and access them on his 'dumbphone' Nokia 6510. Does that make it a complicated OS?
Hopefully you won't report me for questioning your logic.
You see more people showing off their iDevices. Others prefer to keep their trench coats on rather than flashing their feeble manhoods.
What a girly thing to say!
I dont think about men flashing. Suppose iDevice owners are somewhat different.
Do people really show off with smartphones these days?
I mean ... they're hardly a status symbol. Tweenagers and grandmothers have them.
The only phone I've seen being waved around recently was the samsung s3. And that was mainly because it had the biggest screen to watch a _hilarious_ interweb video.
I'm guessing Apple are rewriting their slides as we speak.
"change the word activations to shipment averages*"
*Sequence shortened, numbers quoted are fictional, actual figures will be wildly different at end of year audit, but by which time, everyone will have forgotten.
Re: I'm guessing Apple are rewriting their slides as we speak.
Apple's figures have so far always matched between public announcements and those required by law to be accurate (earnings calls, audits, etc).
Do they know what they are doing?
I switched on my unbranded (imported from Chinese website) tablet and the next day I got a welcome on-board e-mail from Google saying thank you for "activating" your Galaxy Nexus product.
Re: Do they know what they are doing?
I got much the same thing from the itvplayer app ; tvcatchup was ok though
Re: Do they know what they are doing?
Because your Chinese tablet was using a Nexus ROM.... Not really Google's fault....

Good afternoon from 19 degrees C hot & sunney wetherby Uk
I'm on the look out for a small business eCommerce solution that fulfills the following criteria:
Shopify has been the only eComm solution Ive been recommended but having looked at their site examples they all look like glossy brochures and I cant see any structured mark up.
Any insights welcome
Hello from freezing cold Melbourne.
Shopify is pretty good, and you can write your own code for it if you want. However, there are other options. With Shopify, your whole site is hosted by them. You can, instead, host your own website, and just add buttons to your site for payment—at which point the user is taken to another payment site. A basic example is PayPal, but with a better solution, like FoxyCart, you can code and style the payment pages to look like your own pages, so that the user is unaware that they are on another site. That's my preferred solution.
Of course, another option again is to host shopping cart software on your own site—such as osCommerce, Magento and the like—but this does involve a lot more expertise and there are lots of security issues that you are them responsible for ... and which you should not shoulder unless you really know what you are doing.
to actually make it a step further, and a cheaper alternative is to use oscommerce, as it is open source it certainly adds to the benefits...worth giving it a go indeed...also good for SEO, no complaints so far - thats for sure...
wordpress? you have so many great ecommerce themes at themeforest.net, it's seo-friendly and google loves wordpress (much more than 50% of custom ecommerce sites)
I've heard things about OsCommerce as well. being open source, you really have the freedom of making it your own and tailoring to your specific business needs.
Best of luck.
hey David, SEOMOZ posted a really good source for an SEO-supportive eCommerce solution.I can't find the post, but it's somewhere in their blog either form July or June.
There are literally dozens of carts that will serve the basic needs presented here. I would like to point out that, contrary to some other opinions expressed here, I would strongly consider a hosted solution. First of all, it shifts a majority of the PCI compliance burden onto them and secondly, they have to keep their software constantly up to date to avoid security risks. When you host things yourself, the entire security and PCI burden shifts to you and you also will be responsible for ensuring that you have the latest security patches (if any are even provided).
I have yet to purchase any e commerce software that wasn't totally useless a year later - even with the patches. By then, all of these companies have moved onto bigger, better releases. There's nothing like moving from cart to cart every year, always playing catch-up.
Since you are in the U.K., I'd probably go with Core Commerce as my cart. Unless you are selling only to North America and not the U.K. In that case, I'd pick Big Commerce. Both of those carts have tons of functionality (including mobile commerce) fully customizable SEO friendly URL's and, of course, all the meta title, description and header tag functionality anyone could ever want (don't they all have that now?).
Thank you for all your replies, i'm haeding in the direction of http://www.foxycart.com/
You could possibly take a look at PrestaShop, ZeusCart, and ZenCart which are open source and can be used for handling simple eCommerce solutions. Since the themes are quite simple they support SEO.
OK, since Zygoma has found a solution he is happy with, we should probably move on.

New York Times Race Relations Survey, March 1987: New York City (ICPSR 9214)
Principal Investigator(s): The New York Times
This survey examines the attitudes of New Yorkers towards race relations. Topics covered include the racial composition of the respondent's neighborhood and friends, the most important white and black leaders in New York City, police brutality, discrimination on racial grounds for housing and jobs, crime, and important problems facing New York City such as drugs, transportation, the poor and homeless, corruption, and illegal aliens. Additional questions asked of respondents include if they approved or disapproved of the way Ed Koch has handled his job as mayor, if New York City courts were tougher on blacks or whites, if the level of racial discrimination had increased or decreased, and if a preference in hiring or promotion should be given to blacks. Background information on individuals includes party affiliation, age, income, sex, religious preference, education, and race.

Discussion in 'Shoes and Apparel' started by mtommer, Feb 24, 2009.
hold up what jordans are in the back
I was just at the Nike Factory Outlets today and they had black and white dri-fit bandanas for $1.97. Picked up 5...
Which factory store is this? Haters-town? Or Arundel Mills? Granted I dislike the dri-ft bandana...
leesburg, va; quite a bit of drive, but I was at a friends house down there
lol haters town.
Don't know if this was just a random fluke, but a Ross nearby had 1 pair of CB 1.3s in Nadal's Wimbledon colorway for 26.99. Size 7.5 though. Nothing else Nike tennis related. Anyone else seen Nike tennis shoes at Ross recently?
mine still have some vapor vi laying around (white/silver). i haven't seen CB 1.3s at ross yet.
Ok thanks! BTW, how do you want to get ahold of that RF shirt? Maybe at a next meet?
Nothing Nike, but saw some K-Swiss near my house, not sure what type, but those were $20 i think.
Looks like the Air Jordan 1 high premium- with that velvet type lining
you mean the max orange with a nylon material?
One Ross store has two vapor vI. And courtballistec 1.2 instead 1.3.
Got one of black/ red Vapor VI. I don't like vapor vi but could not pass it.
Finding shoes at Ross has to be very lucky. They only receive certain size of shoes so even if you find shoes, size might not be available. I think this one is my first tennis shoes purchase from Ross. Actually smaller size is almost impossible to find.
I just picked up a pair of all white Nike Breathe 2k10's at the Nordstrom Rack in Clackamas, OR for $49.90!
Can't complain about that one bit... It's rare for me to find a tennis shoe at the rack in my size (11) that I actually wanted to try out!
I have CB2.3s, these 2k10s should be interesting to play around in!
I am talking about the Air Jordan 1 Premium Red- in kid size
I think the best thing would just be to send it to me through USPS. Message me through my profile...
you arent interested in coming to a meet?
Would you mind posting a picture of the rack label inside the shoe? I want to see some of the other info aside from the price. Thanks!
Ross - Citrus Park(Tampa).
Nike Spring Slam Shock crew neck in the gray tones - $14.99.
They have them in medium and large.
Nice find\^^ any way u could post some pics
would you be willing to pick up another one?
Oh you're a good one to talk, Mr. Can't Make It To A Meet... :twisted:
And the only one time I saw you at the meet last year, you didn't even play!! :shock:
come out this weekend i will see what i can do . i work weekends it sucks
thanks wow that is a amazing find!! how many did they have ?
Of course, my Ross has no Nike Slam Shock crews. I guess Ross stopped sending their tennis stuff to the Central Valley in California. I have not seen any Nike apparel of shoes at the 4 locations I normally visit in a good year or so. TJ Maxx, Marshalls, and Nordstrom Rack have been far more reliable. You guys back East and in Florida should be happy your Ross stores are so loaded.
However, I did pick up two 'Ace' Adidas tennis t-shirts for $6.99 each at Ross. Good for casual wear. I might post a pick sometime if I can.
Shanx and Djokster - sorry, I'm out of town on business and won't be back until the end of next week. I'll check back then.
Perhaps you can call the store to see if they'll ship/send to you. The specific Ross is Citrus Park Mall / Tampa.
Scraps, I'd guess there were 1/2 a dozen mediums and the same in large....
K thanks that's good news for me... any other tennis things u see or different colors of same shirt
nothing noteable there. I'd like to find that shirt in another color or two....
oh my bad the gucci 1s
thanks for the tip. i called them and they said that they normally do not ship items out (even to other store locations), but the first managers seemed willing to try to accommodate me and would call me back with details. however, i called back later and another manager said it's not possible for them to ship items out.
Pretty cool finds for Women....
Went to Rugged Warehouse all over Wake Co and Durham and found some neat stuff for women. All the shoes were $50 except the last pair, which were on clearance for $15.
Air Cage Breathe 2s
Air Lunarlites
Air Lunarlite Speed 2
don't be fooled by the photo, that pink is very bright/hot!
Bought these for my wife for $15!! Air Zoom Mystify IV Tour
Any men's stuff?
Well, yes and no. the durham RR did have some RF shirts that were white with black RF logo (had one M left and some XLs). no shorts tho. just the women's shoes really were the neat find.
i went to tj maxx and guess what i got?
awesome orange head hat for only 3 bucks! can find pics anywhere and dont know how to attach photos...
Nicee find! Is is mesh or polyester or cotton or mix
I saw nadals 09 FO shirt at marshalls
what size?
Anybody want to find a pair of oreo Vapor VI's or Lunarlites (any color) sizes 8-9 for me? Will pay nicely .
saw cb1.3 marshalls for 40 dollars nadals fo 09 i think they had a pink bull on side but they arnt cotton candy... couldnt buy them because they were size 15....at tj maxx saw some kswiss white shorts and some performance shirts
Bought a full sleeve Polo(the brand not the type) shirt or $7. It is made with some type of natural fiber. It is the softest shirt I've ever worn. Also bought a bunch of tennis shirts and shorts.
What other tennis shorts and shirts did u find? Also what store was it
Well that was about the most vague response one could give.
Sorry. I went to the TJ Maxx in Quincy, IL. My kids bought a bunch of Adidas shirts and shorts for around $12-16 each.
K thanks and the adidas were tennis or just training or running?
Its not entirely related to tennis but I just scored a pair of Nike Zoon Skylon+ 11 for £21 down from £69.99.
Tennis. 10 char
I just found like a whole section of Nike CB1.3's and Cage II's for like 40~60 dollars a pair. I picked up a pair of Cage II's for 65 after tax and they had the little warranty slip too!
Where at?
10 char
Saw this at Nordstrum Rack for $29.99, all sizes....
The Nike Outlets in Camarillo, California...Nice place to spend a day.

The trainers weren't too bad, on my realm at least we had Lorewalker Cho, Pickles McLeary, and Dr. Ian Goldbloom. Pickles gave me the most trouble, with his undead racoon that has a critter-strong main attack and uses unholy ascension when he drops. The rabbit hit my moth for 700 (weak) with that @_@. I wish I could remember the teams I used here better but I just looked at what types they had and picked 3 hard counters until I won.
The celestials weren't bad at all. I threw 3 mechs at Xu-Fu, I think it was Tranquil Yeti/Darkmoon Tonk/Gnome (but I didn't get to the Gnome). His first move was Moonlight so having Call Lightning is a plus.
I tried to throw another 3 mechs at Zao, but because of his Wish, I used the Beast of Fable team of Unborn Valk/Water Spirit/Chrominius. My timing was off on Curse of Doom and it hit one turn before Geyser/Whirlwpool, but the combo still got him and seemed to ignore the "Boss Defense: May not deal more than 35% of their heal with one attack". That seems to be like the Magic Racial, so multi-hit moves are nice there.
Yu'la I used Idol with Smash/Stoneskin/Deflection, which got it down to roughly 35%. I then brought in a Kun-Lai Runt and Shatter-combo'd my way to an easy win.
For Chi-Chi, I noticed that he had an attack/dodge/hot, so I figured he'd be a giant pain in the ass. I used my 2nd valk (only level 19) and my Water Spirit/Chrom from Zao's fight (Spirit at 70% hp~, Chrom at 100%). I did Curse->Haunt(didn't have UA unlocked), and then the standard combo. I should mention that Chi-Chi killed Chrom the turn I had planned to use Surge of Power, but the combo killed Chi anyway.
All in all I think I used maybe 14 pets in all.
Very fun tournament! I wish everyone else good luck
Poofah wrote:Has anyone been brave enough to include a leveling pet for any of the first 3 fights? I'm curious if they give similar XP to the other Pandaria tamers. I'm also curious what happens if you heal and have to do the fights again....
Ruzgofdi wrote:Xu-fu is I think the hardest to do. I too went with Yeti/Gnome/Tonk. A lot more switching between pets in the middle of the fight than I normally do. I think, in the end, I got lucky with a stun from the Tonk's Shock and Awe just when I really needed it. Of all the fights, this is the one I'm going to keep watch on to see if someone finds a better strategy for.
Arwyn3 wrote: I'm a little worried I'm low on mechanicals
Kendrah wrote:I know we can't heal or revive our pets, or use two of the same kind in one battle, but can we have doubles of the stronger variety leveled to 25? I mean, in case you fail and kill the first one in an attempt, can you use another level 25 of that same pet?
Also, if you fail or are DC'ed or have to go AFK for whatever, can you get back in?

A new, stunning twist to the NFC's wild-card chase: Seattle starting cornerbacks Brandon Browner and Richard Sherman both are facing four-game suspensions for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing drugs.
ESPN's Adam Schefter first reported the news, which was confirmed by the NFL Network's Albert Breer. Schefter added that both Browner and Sherman plan to appeal, "insisting they are innocent." They will be able to play until the appeal process is finished.
According to USA Today's Mike Garafolo, Browner and Sherman tested positive for Adderall. If true, that would make the Seahawks' cornerbacks the latest players punished by the NFL's crackdown on the drug, which is used to treat ADHD, among other things. Atlanta center Joe Hawley, Tampa Bay cornerback Aqib Talib, and the Giants' Will Hill and Tyler Sash have all been suspended for Adderall use.
Unless Browner and Sherman manage to successfully reverse their punishments on appeal -- Giants' RB Andre Brown did so in the offseason -- then the Seahawks' chances at making the postseason will dwindle significantly. The Seahawks did welcome back Marcus Trufant from injury recently, but Browner and Sherman have started all 11 games at cornerback so far, combining for seven interceptions.
Seattle's next four games: at Chicago, Arizona, at Buffalo, San Francisco. It's a make-or-break stretch that includes matchups with elite receivers like Brandon Marshall and Larry Fitzgerald. Browner and Sherman would be eligible to return for a Week 17 game against St. Louis, plus the postseason.

PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. (May 24, 2013) — English degrees aren't just for teachers anymore. That's why the SUNY Plattsburgh English department is connecting many local businesses and non-profit agencies with eager interns while giving students valuable experience in the workforce.
English majors are highly versatile and efficient, said Dr. Anna Battigelli, English professor and faculty adviser of the college's new internship program. There are currently 20 active internships through area businesses including news agencies, libraries, historical societies, cultural arts centers and writers' institutes. New opportunities from organizations that have expertise to share and can benefit from an intern's assistance are always welcome.
This semester, Battigelli, who oversees the program, was assisted by internship coordinator and SUNY Plattsburgh senior De'Anne St. Yves, who contacted more than 70 businesses.
St. Yves said these internship opportunities are important because they "push you out of your comfort zone and into the professional world." In fact, she had two internships of her own that gave her experiences "well worth learning."
Matches between intern and business are designed to focus on each student's strengths, the specific needs of the business and how relevant the experience will be to the student's future career plans. Ideally, students are matched with positions that will strengthen, challenge and broaden their skills.
"English majors are capable of coping with complex tasks," which is why they are sought after by a diverse group of organizations, said Battigelli. They are highly skilled at "organization, analysis and critical thinking." These students "absorb and synthesize ideas quickly."
Battigelli pointed to feedback from both the interns and employers that has been favorable. "It's a win-win situation," she said. In fact, many students are returning next semester.
Beyond experience, interns can earn between one and 12 credits and, in some instances, a paycheck.
But it's not just about the money or the credits, Kym Taylor — an intern in SUNY Plattsburgh's Office of Institutional Advancement — said. "It's about discovering the many doors a degree in English can open and about taking an opportunity to boost your marketability through an internship that challenges your abilities."
Battigelli notes that a good internship "allows students to think of themselves as professionals" before they ever leave the SUNY campus.
Interested businesses are encouraged to contact Battigelli at firstname.lastname@example.com for more information on how to establish an internship.

Jaguars to play 49ers in London in 2013
LONDON — The San Francisco 49ers will return to Wembley Stadium to play an NFL regular-season game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2013.
The Jaguars, who have a deal to play one home game in London for four consecutive seasons beginning in 2013, will face the 49ers on Oct. 27, 2013.
"This is a unique and important opportunity for the Jaguars franchise, as well as for our fans and community," Jaguars owner Shad Khan said. "We can't wait to see our global vision for the Jaguars become reality next season."
The 49ers beat the Denver Broncos in 2010 at Wembley, which has hosted the NFL annually since 2007. On Oct. 28, the New England Patriots will play the St. Louis Rams.
"We think Jaguars-49ers is a matchup our fans will really enjoy and a great way to start a new era in the international development of our game," NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said.
Staging games is seen as the testing ground for the NFL's global push, although taking regular-season games to Asia has been ruled out because of the time difference.
"If we could do it (play games) in the UK there is no reason not to do it in Europe or Latin America," NFL Chief Marketing Officer Mark Waller said. "It's an experiment if we can make it work, there are many other markets we can build the footprint."

With high performance and capacity of 25GB per layer of recording, Blu-ray Disc (BD) promises a brave new world of abundant storage and lively movies brimming with high-definition video, multi-channel audio, and unprecedented interactivity. Until now, all this has been so much talk, but BD devices and software are finally on the move with Pioneer Electronics' BDR-101A ($995) leading the pack.
A multi-format PC recorder (EIDE interface), the BDR-101A works with BDs and DVDs, but not CDs. Specifically, it writes single-layer BD-R (recordable) and BD-RE (rewritable). So far as reading is concerned, it accommodates single-layer BD-R, BD-RE, and BD-ROM (prerecorded) in addition to dual-layer BD-ROM. The unit also reads and writes all manner of DVDs (except DVD-RAM). Aimed squarely at the professional video production market, the BDR-101A doesn't come cheap, priced at $995 with blank discs at $18 to $25 each. But it's a real bargain, it seems to me, compared with early generations of writable CD and DVD.
While enthusiasts may be chomping at the bit to get down to business with high definition, be aware that very few BD authoring tools or PC software players yet exist. None are included in this bundle. Pioneer instead sticks to the basics with Roxio's DigitalMedia SE, an exceptionally dull program for burning data files, duplicating unprotected discs and, more importantly, writing images created by outside authoring software. This means Blu-print from Sony Pictures Entertainment as well as Scenarist from Sonic Solutions, both expensive, high-end suites aimed at churning out elaborate commercial titles employing the full-featured BD-ROM AV (HDMV and BD-J) publishing format. Bearing this is mind, the BDR-101A is best put to use burning prototypes, concept discs, and the like (a valuable capability still sorely missing from HD DVD).
But there is some help for the unwashed who can make due for the moment with the more elementary capabilities offered by a handful of aftermarket consumer software such as Ulead's DVD MovieFactory and CyberLink's PowerProducer. I had an opportunity to try out prerelease versions newly updated to work with BDR-101A. From a BD perspective, they record standard and high-definition content by using the much simpler BD-R/RE AV format (think of it as DVD-VR for Blu-ray). EMedialive's Authoritative Blu-ray Disc (BD) FAQ can be referenced to explain this further.
Both packages accommodate straight to disc transfers from HDV and DV camcorders, offer typical trimming and appending functions and import existing video files, including those from old-school DVD. In fact, fitting three full standard-definition DVD-9s on a single 25GB disc (equivalent to the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy) is truly astounding. DVD MovieFactory also creates browsable slideshows (through the BD-ROM AV format's HDMV mode) consisting of still images and accompanying independent audio.
Getting down to the nitty-gritty, the BDR-101A offers state-of-the-art 2x (8.57 MB/sec) BD operation so burning a full 25GB single-layer (SL) disc takes roughly 45 minutes (proportionally faster for less information). Using Nero's CD-DVD Speed benchmarking software and blank Verbatim discs, full BD-R SLs and BD-RE SLs indeed clocked in at a trouble free 44:58. And DVD±R SLs ran at 8x ZCLV (10:27), DVD+R DL at 2.4x CLV (44:20), DVD-R DL at 2x CLV (54:19), and DVD±RW at 4x CLV (14:08). To my mind, the lack of dual-layer BD-R/RE support is more disappointing than not having CD capabilities, given the embryonic state of the market and the simple fact that most everyone already owns a DVD/CD recorder.
As is the case with writable CDs and DVDs, blank BD discs come from the factory encoded with information identifying their manufacturer and type. By matching these details to a preprogrammed list of media, the recorder can select and employ an optimum write strategy (laser power levels, pulse durations, etc.). However, if the disc is unknown, the recorder may reduce its speed or refuse to write altogether.
Initial firmware for the BDR-101A supported only TDK BD media, but the latest version broadens this to encompass most current producers. During testing, I successfully wrote a handful of BD-R and BD-RE discs from Verbatim, TDK, Memorex (MEI), and Sony at full 2x speed. I also gave some Philips BD-R discs a try but they weren't on the list and were simply ignored by the recorder.
The BDR-101A is decidedly less catholic when it comes to DVDs. For example, I found that full 8x writing was supported for only 7 out of the 11 manufacturers of 16x-rated DVD-Rs I tested and 6 out of the 9 DVD+Rs. Disappointingly, the remainder were limited to just 4x speed.
Reading performance is up to snuff with single-layer BD-ROM discs spinning at 2x CLV (45:30) and the same for BD-R/RE (44:43). However, I was out of luck testing dual-layer BD-ROM functions since discs are not readily available. DVD operation was similarly journeyman-like, with DVD-ROM at 8x CAV (9:38), DVD±R at 8x CAV (9:34), DVD±RW at 6x CAV (12:40), and DVD±R DL at 6x CAV (22:51).
As the first Blu-ray Disc (BD) recorder out there, Pioneer's BDR-101A plays an extremely valuable prototyping role for serious title developers and is even affordable enough for the truly gadget-happy wishing to get an early feel for the technology. That said, working with high-definition video requires so much more than just a new recorder with hefty demands for the latest in video cameras, computing power, storage, display hardware, and software. BD technology is also in its infancy and there will be a maturation curve of capability and compatibility as there was with CD and then DVD.
There's no doubt that the BDR-101A will have a useful but short career as Pioneer and other recorder manufacturers work to introduce new models, adding more features such as read/write support for CD and dual-layer BD, and with single-layer BD-R speed increases to 4x promised for later this year.

Eastside alternative elementary parents who have strongly opposed a merger with the poorer and browner Harris neighborhood elementary have verbally "beat up" their own teachers to the point where half may no longer want to work at the school, according to 4J Superintendent George Russell.
"I worry now how Eastside can be Eastside if half or more of the teachers are deciding they don't want to be Eastside," Russell said at a school board meeting today, March 8.
"It's not right for the teachers to get beat up by parents," Russell said of the Eastside teachers who have supported talking with Harris teachers about a merger or some other collaborative hybrid. Harris is 67 percent free and reduced lunch (FRL) and 25 percent Latino while Eastside is 5 percent FRL and 1 percent Latino.
Russell said given the opposition of Eastside parents to a merger with Harris, he may want to close both schools. "Probably the way I feel now, I'd make a recommendation to close them both."
Several school board members shared Russell's dismay at the parents at Eastside, one of the whitest and wealthiest schools in the entire state. "I was disheartened by what I heard from the parents of Eastside," said board member Alicia Hays. "I don't think Eastside is viable because I don't think they are going to be able to diversify."
"To the extent there is an exodus of teachers, that suggests to me a viability question," said board member Craig Smith. The merger/collaboration offered Eastside parents the opportunity to show their "good faith" commitment to diversify, Smith said. "What we're hearing is they don't want to do that."
Russell said that some Eastside and Harris teachers are talking about another meeting on Tuesday to further discuss mixing the two schools. Some board members said they would like Russell to meet with the teachers to see if the merger still has any chance of success.
Board member Yvette Webber-Davis said, "I think there is at least some sentiment on the board for trying to give Eastside and Harris a chance."

"The Knicks are back" - Amare

An absolutely useless and dumb@$$ move, classic Knick move.
Isiah Thomas is back folks.
I dont see how this makes the Knicks and Melo any better by getting JR Sniff 2.0 with a bigger ballhog syndrome.
Horrible idea, but beside that we can't even afford him.
I am interested in a new Porsche as well, but I cannot afford it and the Knicks cannot afford Ellis. And that is fine with me.
Is it possible to do a sign and trade JR for Ellis?
"The Knicks are back" - Amare
A shorter Jr, just what we need
Not saying Ellis is who we need, but he's not the same player as J.R. He's a much more willing passer and played PG well when Curry was out a lot in the 2011-2012 season.

Scarred road rage victim feels 'like a freak'
A motorist savagely attacked in a terrifying road rage incident at his local supermarket feels like a freak when he looks at his scars in the mirror every day, a court heard today.
The victim had driven to the Woodville Shopping Centre in Werribee to buy dog food when he was almost killed.
Wahanui Ronaki, 26, and Carlos Roberts, 23, both of Hoppers Crossing, pleaded guilty in the County Court today to one count of intentionally causing serious injury.
Judge Margaret Rizkalla said Ronaki had been on a five-day "ice" bender when he went into a frenzy and attacked the motorist with a golf club and fishing knife.
Ronaki's mother, Puti, had been driving out of the shopping centre at about 4.45pm on May 1 last year with her terminally ill husband and their heavily pregnant daughter when she tried to leave through the entrance and not the exit lane.
As a result, she blocked the entrance for the victim on his way into the centre.
Both drivers refused to reverse and there was a stand-off for 20 minutes, during which time Mrs Ronaki got out of her car, leaned on the victim's car and abused him.
The pair traded insults as traffic built up behind the two cars before Mrs Ronaki's daughter, Kia, called her brother, Wahanui, who lived only a short distance away.
Wahanui soon arrived with Roberts, his sister's de facto partner.
Roberts smashed the motorist's front windscreen with a piece of wood while Wahanui used a golf club to smash the driver's side window.
The motorist panicked when the window shattered and tried to reverse but in his confusion the car lurched forward and hit Mrs Ronaki who was standing between the two cars.
She fell and hit her head on the asphalt.
Wahanui screamed out, "You ran over my mother", before stabbing the victim repeatedly in the face with the broken shaft of the golf club, almost severing his ears.
Wahanui then pulled out a fishing knife and repeatedly stabbed the victim in the forehead, narrowly missing his eye, and in the chest until the blade broke.
When witnesses yelled that they were going to call the police, Wahanui and Roberts ran off.
The victim was taken to hospital and placed in an induced coma after suffering a punctured lung, lacerations to the liver and cuts to his face, chest, arms and ears.
The court heard that the victim had lost all confidence, no longer worked or drove a car, and was always looking over his shoulder because he lived with fear and anxiety every day. He relived the attack whenever he looked into the mirror and saw his scars.
Judge Rizkalla said the scars made the victim feel "quite damaged and like a freak".
She said this was a vicious attack on a member of the public who had simply been going about his business attending the shopping centre.
Ronaki was jailed for five years with a non-parole period of three years while Roberts was jailed for 20 months with a non-parole period of eight months.

text: BUSCH GARDENS WELCOMES BABY GIRAFFES 8/20/2013 12:00:00 AM TAMPA, FL – Busch Gardens® Tampa welcomed two baby reticulated giraffes last month. Within an hour of birth, the calves were standing and within two hours were nursing. Cupid, a 15 year-old giraffe, welcomed her seventh calf on June 11. The male calf weighed 188 pounds and was more than 6 feet tall. Tesa, an 18-year-old giraffe, welcomed her sixth calf on June 19; a female weighing 145 pounds and standing 5 feet 8 inches tall. Giraffes are the tallest mammal on Earth, with males standing close to 18 feet tall and females close to 16 feet tall. The gestation period for a giraffe is between 14-15 months, and the female gives birth while standing. The reticulate giraffe is one of nine subspecies of giraffe and are easy to distinguish because of their distinct "net-like" pattern, brown-orange spots and thick white lines. They are found in southern Somalia, Ethiopia and down into northeastern Kenya. The baby giraffes are now on the Serengeti Plain® at Busch Gardens. The best view is from the Serengeti Railway or the Edge of Africa area of the park. For a closer look, guests can reserve a Serengeti Safari, which is an open-truck tour offering guests a unique look at the 65-acre Serengeti Plain® habitat where they will encounter African wildlife and even hand-feed giraffes with the help of an expert guide. Busch Gardens is owned by SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment™, one of the world's foremost zoological organizations and a worldwide leader in animal welfare, training, husbandry and veterinary care. The company collectively cares for one of the largest animal collections on the North American continent and has helped lead advances in the care of species in zoological facilities and in the conservation of wild populations. Photos of the giraffes are available for download here.

My 9 year old son found this bone whilst walking through ferns in our local wood, it was lying on the floor with no other bones around it. He is learning about animal bones at school at the moment and wondered if somebody could identify it for us please?
This is the pelvis from a bird. Although it is a little broken round the edges it most resembles a pheasant pelvis.

I'll Have Another's bid to be the first Triple Crown winner in 34 years ended in heartbreak a day early when he was scratched from the Belmont Stakes because of tendinitis in his left front leg, his team said Friday.
The Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner was the 4-5 favorite for Saturday's event on Long Island, but had to be pulled out because of the injury. Dullahan, who finished third in the Derby, was installed as the new 9-5 favorite for Belmont, race officials said.
"It's extremely disappointing and I feel so sorry for the whole team," said trainer Doug O'Neill.
O'Neill said the team noticed some "loss of definition in his left front leg" on Thursday and treated it with some poultice, but the swelling returned on Friday.
The injury turned out to be the start of tendinitis in I'll Have Another's left front tendon, O'Neill said.
The team made the decision to retire him from racing, he said.
The chestnut, modest-sized horse who was born on a farm in Versailles, Ky., made his debut last July 3, winning by three-quarters of a length at Hollywood Park. He had been purchased for $35,000 as a 2-year-old.
Owner J. Paul Reddam says he got his name based on the reply he would give his wife when she asked if he wanted more cookies.
Only two other horses competing for the Triple Crown were unable to run in the final leg -- Burgoo King in 1932 and Bold Venture in 1936. I'll Have Another was the 12th horse that would have competed for the honor.

RC tennis team: conference champs
From River City High School
For the 17th time in the past 18 seasons, the River City High School Tennis Team has won a league championship. Last week's 5 to 4 win at Cosumnes Oaks clinched the 2013 Sierra Valley Conference (SVC) title for the Raiders, bringing the total number of league championships in RC's tennis history to 19.
The visiting Raiders started off slowly, dropping both boys singles matches at Cosumnes Oaks, but Cindy Oseguera (6-4,6-3 at #1) and Lily He (6-4,6-1 at #2) came through in girls singles. It was a similar story in doubles as RC lost both boys doubles contests while getting wins from the girls pairs of Sarah Yang and Sonia Bola, 4-6,6-2,(10-2) at #1, and Nicole Melido and Julia Quenga, 6-0,6-0 at #2. With the league title on the line, the mixed doubles duo of Lina Vang and Phillip Dinh brought home the pennant with their 6-3,6-2 triumph.
Also last week, at the SVC Singles and Doubles Tournament, Michael Lee and Lina Vang won the mixed doubles championship to qualify for this week's Sac-Joaquin Section Tournament. Lee and Vang defeated teams from Cosumnes Oaks (10-2 in the quarterfinals), El Dorado (6-3,6-3 in the semis), and Vista del Lago (6-3,6-3 in the final.) Teammates Oseguera and Yang will be joining them at the Section tourney as they came in second place in the SVC girls doubles event. The defending SVC and Section girls doubles champs came up short in the final to a pair from Vista del Lago, 6-2,3-6,(7-10), but are eager to try to repeat their 2012 result in Stockton at the Section tournament.
Other results from the SVC Tournament: Edward Xu and Ben Gerelkhuu took fourth place in boys doubles while Matthew Tagupa and Muradan Chhay reached the quarterfinals. In mixed doubles, Amran Khan and Sonia Bola came in third place. Lily He reached the quarterfinals in girls singles and Nicole Melido won the girls singles consolation championship by defeating the top players from both Galt and El Dorado. In the boys singles consolation event, Phillip Dinh downed teammate Akshay Prabhakar in the final.
Next up for the Raiders, in addition to the Section singles and doubles tournament, are the Section Division III team championships. RC will play either Marysville or Highlands in the Round of 16 and a win will allow the Raiders to host a quarterfinal match on Monday, May 6th at 4pm against the winner of the Argonaut vs. Colfax match.

Scutaro tries out finger with batting practice
By Chris Haft / MLB.com
ATLANTA -- Giants second baseman Marco Scutaro tested his injured left pinkie by taking batting practice before Saturday's game against the Atlanta Braves.
Asked afterward how he felt, Scutaro flattened a palm and wiggled it in the universal sign meaning "more or less" or "so-so."
Scutaro, San Francisco's leading hitter with a .332 average, didn't back off when he was in the cage. He hit several line drives, including one off the right-field wall.
Scutaro, who hasn't played since he was hit on his left hand by a pitch from Pittsburgh's Tony Watson last Tuesday, wore a removable flap to protect his finger while he hit. He's expected to be fitted for a customized orthotic device in San Francisco next week.
Vogelsong slated to get two pins removed
ATLANTA -- Right-hander Ryan Vogelsong's recovery from his fractured right pinkie could accelerate Tuesday, when he expects removal of two of the five pins holding his hand together.
"I'm hoping the other ones aren't far off," said Vogelsong, who was injured May 20 when he was hit by a pitch from Washington's Craig Stammen.
Vogelsong, San Francisco's No. 5 starter, was examined earlier in the week when the team was in Pittsburgh. Doctors found that the pins kept the structure of Vogelsong's finger properly aligned, as was intended.
"Everything looks good," he said.
Once all the pins are removed, Vogelsong can begin working toward a throwing program. He's expected to be sidelined until late July or August.
Posey's time at first base expected to increase
ATLANTA -- Buster Posey started only his fourth game at first base Saturday, though he's likely to find himself at that spot more frequently in coming weeks.
Manager Bruce Bochy has used Posey at first base to keep his bat in the lineup while sparing him from the physical rigors of catching. Posey played first at a more frequent rate last year, starting 29 games there. Bochy explained that the number of scheduled off-days -- three in April and May, and four in June with one more remaining -- have provided built-in rests for Posey.
But the nature of San Francisco's schedule is in the midst of changing. The Giants launched a stretch of 33 games in 34 days on June 11. From July 30 through Aug. 28, they'll play 29 times in 30 days, barring rainouts.
"I think you'll see him go to first more, now that we have more stretches without days off," Bochy said.
In another Posey-related development, the Elias Sports Bureau discovered that his three-double performance in Friday's series opener made him the first Giant to amass three extra-base hits on two-strike counts since Barry Bonds did so on June 16, 2000 at Houston. It also marked Posey's first time to amass that many extra-base hits in a game.

You couldn't asked for more. Everything was excellent and our Host Scott was very friendly and knowledgeable because we asked him lots and lots of questions. The entire property and rooms were very clean. Breakfast was excellent and custom cooked and they had almost anything you wanted. Had dinner twice and was also very good. This is somewhere you can relax and just be yourself. Was very impressed, good job, excellent service.

My husband and I needed a day of rest in our journey, and that is exactly what we found at Twin Mountain Bed and Breakfast! We were able to check in before noon and had the house to ourselves for the day to just rest at the house. It was quiet and refreshing. Jay, the owner of the house, told us to "make ourselves at home" and make coffee, grab anything out of the fridge, etc.... The next morning Scott, the host, made us a yummy breakfast of cinnamon swirl french toast, eggs and sausage. It was a wonderful beginning to our day's journey! Thank you Jay and Scott for making our stay so refreshing!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Twin Mountain B&B in early June 2012! Gerald was a gracious host and made us feel welcomed in the lovely inn. He is very knowledgeable about the Jackson Hole area. We stayed in the room on the first floor for two nights. The room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast each morning was delicious. The inn is located in a serene setting with the HoBack river in the backyard. Our family will look forward to staying at the inn the next time we are in Jackson, Wyoming.

This place was just gorgeous. Beautiful wood on the interior and exterior, in a quiet setting. Secluded, restful, with a tasty breakfast of eggs, bacon, thick yogurt, granola, and fresh fruit. The owner was downright charming, and even carried my suitcase to the car for me, declaring "chivalry is not dead in Wyoming!" Our bed was enormous - larger than a regular king size! My only nitpick with the whole place was that the bed was so large that it took up most of the room. But since I was here to just relax, it wasn't that big of a deal.

This B&B is awesome! While traveling the western US this summer we managed to stumble upon this wonderful B&B. It is snuggled up against the Hoback River just south of Jackson, Wyoming. The building has huge timbers that frame the most comfortable space for relaxing, reading, visiting, and watching the world go by. Our room was very nicely furnished, as was the entire B&B, and the hosts could not have been more accommodating. One night, too tired to drive to a restaurant for dinner, we were invited to share a dinner of trout our hosts had just caught. Breakfasts each morning were delicious and enough to keep us full until dinner time. This is one of those rare places that everything just feels right and comfortable. We would have stayed longer is there had been a room available!

This was our second stay at a bed and breakfast. We had a wonderful experience in Washington a couple of years ago, so we decided to try a B&B again on our recent trip to the Jackson, Wyoming area. Gerry did everything he could to make our stay comfortable. The room was very nice with a king bed that took up most of the room! Everything was clean and the furnishings were beautiful. We had a great breakfast each morning, giving us plenty of fuel for our trips to Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this establishment.

This was my first stay at a B&B and it was good one. Quiet place in the foot hills with a great host. You will not leave hungry, that is for sure! Family of seven deer settled in the yard for the night also help make it special. I would stay here again. My room was a little on the small side, but then again not staying a B&B before maybe that is how it should be. There were other options available too. Overall great experience at this hidden gem.

After staying at a more expensive location inside Grand Teton NP, we were looking for a quieter and more affordable place to stay, since all of the places in town are way overpriced (we're not shoppers), and we weren't disappointed. Our room and the house were very comfortable and clean - it was just like being at home. Innkeeper Gerald was very friendly and accommodating, offering us good local advice (both before and during our stay) and he maintains a relaxed atmosphere, which we liked a lot, since it made us feel more welcome. We came and went as we pleased, enjoyed a great breakfast and great conversations with fellow guests and Gerald whenever we woke up, and we loved the property. Be sure to take the short walk down to the river for some great views, and maybe you'll be accompanied by a sweet golden retriever. It was about a 30 min. ride to the entrance to Grand Teton NP, if that's your destination, but the drive was easy and scenic. We loved the place, had a wonderful time, and we'll definitely be back.

We stayed at the Inn at the end of August. We were made to feel comfortable and at home fromt he minute we arrived. by the time we left, we felt as though we had stayed with an old friend. the room was spacious, comfortable, private and oh, so clean. Breakfast was delicious with coffee vrewing all day long. OUr stay has been one that we will remember for many years - we hope to go back soon.

My husband and I just got back from a week long stay with Gerald and Staff at Twin Mountain B&B. Get ready to be treated like family and enjoy the biggest and best breakfast ever. It was out first time in the Jackson area. Gerald was so helpful in sending us to places with gorgeous scenery and fun things to do. Bedding and room were very comfortable and clean. The decor is very appealing. If you have any extra needs, they will do their best to meet them for you. We enjoyed making fires in the outdoor fireplace on the cool August nites. The only rule there, is to just have a good time! We miss you Gerald and want to come back some time. Stacey in IL

The atmosphere was relaxing and inviting. We had a glass of wine waiting for us before we settled into our room. Breakfast was good, filling, and served on our schedule. The room was spacious, the bed comfortable with flannel sheets and a thick comforter on top. It was a good two night stay on our long trip in the midwest.

My husband and I stayed at Twin Mountain B&B the beginning of August. The facility, grounds, room, innkeeper, and breakfast all exceeded our expectations. When it comes to details, Gerry has it down. We felt we were staying with a close friend. Cathy, the housekeeper was also fabulous. There is a beautiful river within walking distance and the overall ambiance of the B&B is divine. My husband and I will definitely be booking another trip in the near future to stay for at least two or three nights.

My wife and I spent two nights at Twin Mountain while visiting the Teton Range. This was a wonderful place Gerald made us feel at home and we had a great experience. His breakfast is great. I recommend the corned beef and hash. I would recommend for couples or families looking to get away and relax.

I cannot say enough great things about the Twin Mountain Bed and Breakfast! The B&B is conveniently located only a short drive from the downtown area. The house is gorgeous! You can tell it has been recently renovated/updated. The view is amazing, and it is nice to sit on the back porch and relax. The rooms were spacious and the bed was so comfortable. The best part about the B&B was the staff! Gerald was so kind! My fiance and I had to leave extremely early, so he woke up early and made breakfast just for the two of us so we didn't leave hungry! The food was excellent! We cannot wait to go back to the Twin Mountain B&B! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

USVP's Emily Melton Foresees Period of 'True Technology Innovation'
Emily Melton, who at 36 recently joined U.S. Venture Partners, one of Silicon Valley's oldest venture firms, has had an insider's view of the venture industry for more than a decade.
A native of Utah, she graduated from Stanford University during the tech bubble and immediately started getting $100,000-plus job offers from startups whose plans for making money were a puzzle. One of the people she consulted about career moves was Tim Draper, who suggested that she come work for him at his venture firm, Draper Fisher Jurvetson, to gain perspective on business opportunities.
It was fascinating to "basically grow up at a venture firm," she said. "I was 22 when I joined." Melton worked at DFJ until 2009, getting a Stanford business degree along the way and rising to partner. Her investments included social media company Meebo, which Google acquired, and online shopping service NearbyNow, now part of JiWire.
