Lincoln: A paradigm for pragmatism
What startled me most was silence. Ascending the stairs of the Hellenistic temple was like scaling Mount Olympus. Once inside, when facing the marble colossus of President Lincoln seated in what seemed like a throne, the one thing that evaporated was sound.
The statue sits in an eternal moment of silence. Nearby signs mandate quiet. Guards move toward anyone uttering above a whisper. But when I was there no one needed prompting; it was a solemn place. Much of Lincoln's reputation is based on popular images of a gentle Illinois politician who won the Civil War and ended slavery. It's simplistic, and works. All societies need icons; Lincoln tops our list.
But Lincoln was far from a backwoods Honest Abe. This week, with the opening of Steven Spielberg's biopic "Lincoln," which dispels mythology, a refresher seems timely.
Lincoln was a paradigm for pragmatism. He mixed in the homespun with some Machiavelli and avoided history's scorn as a dictator. Today, he is widely regarded as our greatest president.
Martyrdom aided that cause, in much the same way it gave John F. Kennedy's persona a new lease on idolatry. But Lincoln was faced with dreadful hurdles from the start of his tenure in office, and his accomplishments are studies in astute, if not unpopular, command.
Lincoln faced a constitutional crisis unlike any since. After a bruising electoral campaign, by the 1861 inauguration he had inherited seven seceded states. At the heart of Southern dissent was the issue of states' right, sparked by the catalyst of slavery.
The president was torn between Radical Republicans, a splinter group supporting immediate abolition of slavery; mainstream Republicans who favored a slower approach; and Democrats, who at best were ambivalent to the idea.
He tried conciliation in his inaugural address, but stayed determined not to lose the Union: "You have no oath registered in Heaven to destroy the government, while I shall have the most solemn one to preserve, protect and defend it."
Lincoln was good for his word. At a time when military commanders were political appointees, he chewed up one general after another until he found in Ulysses S. Grant someone who could fight, and who wanted to win.
Lincoln assessed the war against the South as one of victory through attrition. This meant kill more of them than they do of us, and cripple their ability to wage further battle. Grant was good at the former, and eventually mastered the latter.
The president's own muscle-flexing followed. Lincoln suspended habeas corpus partially in 1861 and then nationwide in 1862. The government arrested more than 13,000 citizens, often arbitrarily. With the battlefield tide turning in his favor, Lincoln's opponents attacked this disregard of the Constitution and civil liberties.
Yet Lincoln interpreted his wartime presidential role as having power enough to ignore the Constitution in order to abolish slavery. He issued the Emancipation Proclamation in 1862, and in 1864 endorsed the 13th Amendment.
Lincoln's assassination retarded national reconciliation and set back civil rights by almost a century. But once those wheels turned, there was no changing direction; the only issue was time. Lincoln's persistence was part of his greater vision, which he powerfully expressed at Gettysburg:
"That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom - and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."
In 2009, when Barack Obama - also once an obscure Illinois politician - was sworn in as our nation's first black president, the entire day was a Lincoln retrospective. Among other events, Mr. Obama took the oath of office on Lincoln's bible. With that moment, Lincoln's legacy was complete.
Asked recently by a friend if I had attended that historic event, I answered no, that I'm not much for crowds anymore. Instead, I told him of my second visit to the Lincoln Memorial, just earlier this year, more than three decades removed from the first.
It wasn't spring, but winter. When I entered the main chamber, except for the guards, I was alone. Before approaching Lincoln's statue, I reached in my pocket and turned off my cell phone. I didn't want anything to break the silence. Telly Halkias is an award-winning freelance journalist. You may e-mail him at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The rental property scams online are a growing criminal trend, with perpetrators running them from within the county and overseas, according to district attorney's office spokesman Sean Webby.
Some of the posters, who use home and apartment rental websites such as Trulia.com, do not own or are not authorized to rent the places and are simply in business to steal deposit money, Webby said.
While most online postings for rentals are genuine, consumers should be wary of advertised rental amounts that are too low compared to similar housing in the area, Webby said.
Rental applicants should not pay anything unless they first go inside the property up for rent and to use a credit card for the deposits because card charges may be canceled for a limited time if a problem is detected, Webby said.
Prospective renters should also avoid wiring deposit money to anyone, Webby said.
The district attorney's office recommends checking the name of the owner of the rental and make sure it is the same person on the lease agreement, Webby said.
Consumers should also find out if the mortgage is in default and if the rental property is up for sale, Webby said.
Anyone who believes they may have been victimized by a rental scam may contact the district attorney's Real Estate Fraud Hotline at (408) 792-2879.
Minimum wage will rise
Gov. Jerry Brown came to Oakland on Wednesday, Sept. 25, to mark the signing of a bill to raise California's hourly minimum wage to $10 by 2016.
The wage increase will take effect over the next three years, rising to $9 per hour on July 1, 2014, and to $10 on Jan. 1, 2016, according to the governor's office.
Brown was in Los Angeles Wednesday morning to sign the bill. At noon, he was set to appear at Oakland's Cypress Mandela Training Center, which offers job training programs for Bay Area residents.
"The minimum wage has not kept pace with rising costs," Brown said in a statement. "This legislation is overdue and will help families that are struggling in this harsh economy."
The bill, authored by state Assemblyman Luis Alejo, D-Watsonville, was amended earlier this month to move up the schedule for the wage bump.
The state's last minimum wage increase was in 2008, when it rose by 50 cents to $8 per hour.
California is among many states with a minimum wage above the federally mandated minimum wage of $7.25, but has a lower minimum wage than some states including Oregon, Washington and Illinois, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
New economic development manager
The city has hired a new economic development manager to replace Ellis Berns, who retired in December.
City Manager Dan Rich announced that Mountain View resident Alex Andrade was tapped for the job, having previously worked as a consultant for the city. He's been a resident here since 2003.
"Alex's experience has given him a unique range of skills that will greatly benefit Mountain View," said Rich in an announcement. "Economic development is important to the city's fiscal sustainability and I am confident that Alex will be able to build strong relationships with the business community."
Andrade has spent 13 years in economic development, the last, in part, as an analyst in economic development for Mountain View, where he worked on a parking study for downtown, the end of the downtown revitalization district and a study on the economic viability of a new downtown grocery store.
Andrade has previous worked in a similar capacity for the cities of San Jose, Menlo Park and Los Angeles. His salary will be $107,000 a year.
Trailblazer race on Sunday
This Sunday the Stevens Creek Trail will be the site of the Trailblazer 5K and 10K run and walk.
The event will benefit the trail itself. Sponsor Microsoft will be lending mobile devices to runners to try its new "Active Fitness" app, which allows runners to track their time, distance and training potential. Proceeds from the app will go the trail's preservation fund.
"It's a urban trail in the heart of Silicon Valley, it's a precious commodity," said Aaron Grossman of the Friends of the Stevens Creek Trail.
The event begins Sept 29 at 8:30 a.m. at 1065 La Avenida, just north of Highway 101 off Shoreline Boulevard.

I guess I have been lucky on my old '82 Honda 900. It never tipped over though I was always careful. Always had a plastic footing to put the kick stand on. I have seen a bike tip over but that was in Texas on a hot summer day and the bike was on the side stand and the asphalt melted and bike falls. A sad sight to see.
I may have to upgrade from plastic to a stuffed animal, that has more character.

By Scott T. Sterling
Talking to Lana Del Rey about her music is like trying to grab smoke with your hands.
Her contemplative nature makes her muse on tangents, from Elon Musk to the Jesuits to the Laural Canyon sound of the '70s when trying to put the meaning and inspiration behind her songs into words. All the while, she remains open and honest.
During a sit-down interview in a quiet studio at KROQ in Los Angeles (a Radio.com station) Del Rey's demeanor in person was disarmingly relaxed and quite charming. Some critics have been quick to dismiss her as an inauthentic fabrication, but as she talked about her new album Ultraviolence (due out June 17), she came across as someone in complete control of her music and rapidly accelerating career.
How did the album come to be called Ultraviolence?
I think the album was called Ultraviolence before I even had the songs. That's because I just really love words. I'm kind of inspired by just a one-word title. For this one, I had a motif of hydrangeas in mind. Mainly because these flowers I love are in shades of blue and violet, and when I was talking to (producer) Dan (Auerbach of the Black Keys) about inspirations and color tones, this sort of high violet vibration was on my mind. Maybe because blue is connected with jazz and also sorrow.
What inspired the album's first single, "West Coast"? It definitely expands the dimensions of your sound.
"West Coast" as a demo sounded really different, and I never felt like it got where it was supposed to be until I met Dan Auerbach. I was telling him that I was really interested in…that my heart was in jazz, and my mind and my roots were in jazz and that I wanted to make a record that was sort of this mix of beautiful jazz undertones and a West Coast fusion, kind of inspired by the Eagles and the Beach Boys and this sort of Laurel Canyon revival thing that was happening in the '70s. So I went to Nashville and he reproduced "West Coast" and yeah, I don't know…I loved it.
Dan said that everything on the record, all the songs have this kind of narco-swing. So whereas the beat and the verses on "West Coast" were really direct, the chorus naturally slipped into this half-time beat. I just remember everyone at the label being like, 'God, it's getting slower at the chorus?' And we were like, yeah!

Spotlights no longer illuminate the Christ of the Ozarks statue overlooking Eureka Springs from Magnetic Mountain.
The statue is part of The Great Passion Play property that's being taken over by Cornerstone Bank in lieu of foreclosure. Bank President Charles Cross told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette (http://bit.ly/VuuhSf ) that the lights were turned off to save money - but they may be turned back when the bank formally acquires the property early next year.
The Passion Play depicts the last week of the life of Jesus. It closed for good in October because of financial difficulties.
The statue with arms spread open is nearly 70 feet tall and 65 feet from fingertip to fingertip.

Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard says future will be decided next summer
England and Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard admits that he will make a decision on his future this summer.
Last Updated: 15/11/13 12:20pm
Lampard, who will be 36 when the World Cup finals take place next year, is to captain England against Chile on Friday in the absence of Steve Gerrard and also to mark him hitting 100 caps.
Lampard is currently on a one-year deal with Chelsea, and he admits his future as a whole is yet to be decided.
"I'll be 36," Lampard, who will make his 103rd appearance for England on Friday, told the Sun.
"Right now, I'm not sure in my own head. At my age I understand it's not a four-year contract, it's a one-year extension. I'm more than happy with that.
"I'll make a decision after the World Cup... when we've won it and can all retire happy!"
Lampard admits that, despite taking the armband on Friday, he has a battle to make it to Brazil next summer.
"We're all in the same boat. What we've done up to now carries a bit of weight but if your form falls off in the next six months you can't expect to be going," he said.
"We all have to be on top form. If I walked around thinking my 103 caps would get me on the plane, I'd probably be on the beach. Because that means you're taking things for granted. I don't think any of us can afford to do that.
"Because of my age, it's always going to be a bit of a dogfight to get into the squad.
"I'm not silly. I understand that, no matter what age you are, you have to react. If you end up looking around at others wondering who's performing better, you take your eye off the ball.
"I also understand that at different parts of your career, you have different challenges. I'm very determined to show the manager that I can still do it regardless of age.
"He's always said it doesn't matter if you're 17 or 35, that he'll not look at you any differently. That's nice to hear. The rest is up to me."


text: MELD - 2x16 - 5/5 This is definitely one of Voyager's all-time stand out episodes and just a terrific piece of Trek in it's own right. This is a very dark and superbly acted episode that explores some pretty hard issues like capital punishment and the inner-psyche of a homicidal psychopath. If Voyager isn't going to have long plot arcs like DS9, they very least it could do is pump out more of these sort of standalone episodes that explore human nature in great detail and intensity. Brad Dourif is an amazing actor. I mostly know him from his later role as the doctor on Deadwood - who quickly became my favourite character. His portrayal of Lon Suder is believably gripping and getting to see him play off Tim Russ who finally gets to show his acting range in this episode is a total joy. It's even more interesting that Suder was made a Betazoid. They are a race typically known for their telepathy and emotional empathy, so making him a Betazoid who is completely emotionally detached and dysfunctional adds to the character enormously. Even the minor B story about the crew setting up an illegal betting pool on the holodeck is cool and the rising tensions between Chak and Paris is interesting in itself. There's not much else I have to say about this episode, but safe to say I've seen it many times and it's emotional impact is still as intense as when I first saw it. The final scene between Suder and Tuvok gives me goosebumps every time and I believe that is a true mark of a quality piece of acting and storytelling. I have no qualms giving this episode 5 stars.

has a long history of accusations that it abuses its dominant
position in the browser and operating system markets. These
allegations have resulted in several investigations into Microsoft in
both America and Europe. One of the more recent investigations
happened last year in Europe and was focused on Internet
Explorer.Ultimately, antitrust charges were filed against
Microsoft for its practice of bundling IE with Windows in Europe.
Microsoft eventually agreed to offer a ballot box that would allow
Windows users to choose what browser they want to install on their
computer and the charges
in Europe were dropped.Microsoft VP and Deputy General
Counsel Dave Heiner has posted
to the Microsoft
on the Issues
new information on the browser choice screen for Europe. Heiner
wrote, "Over the next few weeks, Microsoft will begin offering a
"Web browser choice screen" to Internet Explorer users in Europe,
as required by the European Commission. Internal testing of the
choice screen is underway now. We'll begin a limited roll-out
externally next week, and expect that a full scale roll-out will
begin around March 1, a couple of weeks ahead of schedule. If you are
an Internet Explorer user in Europe, here is what to
expect."Microsoft will begin testing the choice screen
next week in the UK, Belgium, and France. Anyone in those three
countries that wants to test the choice screen will be able to
download the software update via Windows Update. The phased roll out
of the choice screen across all of Europe will kick off the week of
March 1.Microsoft reports that the choice screen will be an
automatic download through Windows Update for XP, Vista, and Windows
7. Users will either find that the software is downloaded
automatically or they may be prompted to download and install the
software depending on settings and the version of Windows in use on
the PC. The choice screen will be shown on all computers
running IE as the default browser. Windows 7 users with IE pinned to
the taskbar will have the browser automatically unpinned. The choice
screen will offer details to users on different browsers and links to
download them in a random order.

Private Pilates Classes in Paris with Annie Venier
Photos by Nicolas Calcott for Paris By Appointment Only™
If you asked Parisians ten years ago what Pilates (pronounced "Pilottes") was, they would have answered you with their habitual I-have-no-idea-what-you're-talking-about-you-may-as-well-come-from-Mars shoulder shrug and dismissive lip fart.
But oh how the times have changed. Now, almost every sports club and well-being center is offering some kind of Pilates class, just like every grocery store these days has some kakamayme organic product line that they're pushing. The point is that finding a fabulous, authentic, personalized Pilates studio in Paris can be as costly as it is exhausting. But now you can save your Euros and your breath because I have the Pilates pro for you!
Long, lean, strong and supple, American-raised, Paris-based Annie Venier is a walking and talking advertisement for Pilates. As well she should be, she's been doing it now for close to fifteen years. Venier fell into the discipline quite literally by accident. After a running injury knocked her off her feet, she found herself in search of a deep, therapeutic strength-building alternative. She got hooked immediately, and before long quit her job to pursue a new career as a Pilates professional.

Type: Enhancement
Status: Closed
Priority: Minor
Resolution: Completed
Affects Version/s: Release 1.1, Release 1.2, Release 1.3, Release 1.4
Fix Version/s: Release 1.6
Component/s: None
The attached patch gives the programmer the option of referring to the division function in namespaces other than just clojure.core. For example,
(ns foo
(:require [cljs.core :as core]))
(apply core// '(1 2 3))
The above lines do not compile without this patch.
Patch was committed and ticket was marked as resolved but not closed. I'm closing it.
Re-resolving. Moved extra late patch to new ticket -
Since the last patch on this came in after the change had been applied, I moved the cleanup patch to
Andy, I've updated 0001-Fix-
CLJ-873-for-EdnReader-too.patch to remove SLASH and CLOJURE_SLASH as you suggested.
Nicola, I noticed yesterday that LispReader.java still contains values SLASH and CLOJURE_SLASH that are no longer used after the patch was applied yesterday for this ticket. Would you mind including the removal of those in your patch, too?
I'm reopening it, attaching a patch for EdnReader
clojure.lang.EdnReader should get patched aswell.
This also affects a two of my libraries: 1) CSS generation library I'm working on, which wants to be able to do division with pixels and other units. 2) Factjor which defines binary math operators against a stack.
I should have added a comment here a while back if it would have helped, but David Nolen's
CLJ-930 was closed as a duplicate of this one.
Thanks all. It is nice to have supporting real-world stories such as Alex's in the comments.
A short further discussion of this patch appeared here: http://groups.google.com/group/clojure-dev/browse_thread/thread/f095980802a82747/b723726c77c1ec64
Also, I assume this bug is what is referred to in Clojurescript's core.cljs, where it says ";; FIXME: waiting on cljs.core//"
clj-873-namespace-divides-patch.txt is same as Chris's, just updated to apply cleanly to latest master as of Feb 24, 2012.
The test he added does fail without the code fix, and passes with it. He is now on the list of contributors.
FYI, I have run into this in actual code as well (implementing a query language function library).
My CA has now been applied. This patch is quite simple – can someone have a look at it please?
I have signed the CA and it is in the mail.

key for nets game was their To's and our 3s
Still Nets outreboundnd us
More passes by MElO i didnt see his ballhoging
JR just one streetball possesion
anway still this team need IQ PG and 2nd shooter thats all.
2 down....go knicks
tomorrow should be an easy victory over Boston.
If we keep spreading the floor and not be so predictable, we could probably beat most of the NBA .... I like Melo scoring 20 and getting 10 boards, 4-5 assist etc...also, for some reason everything is clicking all of a sudden. Guess the guys were embarrassed
Gallo and Chandler have been really injury prone.
Mosgov have played good recently, but he has poor stamina and can only play 20 minutes per game.
We traded Felton but got him back for nothing.
Would we even win 54 games last season with a Gallo and Chandler who play 40 games a season?
Chandler played 8 games in 11-12, 43 games in 12-13.
Gallo played 40 games in 11-12, 73 games in 12-13.
Be serious with yourself.
Yeah poor defense without Chandler manning the middle, and shots not dropping, as we have no one who drives to the basket enough, spells a lot of loss'
Yes we would be in a better situation as we would have better options going forward. Namely the picks.
I know you want to do the player comparisons and what not but if you look at the trade and break it down from asset to asset, we could have done much better to put us in a better position.
I'd be more than willing to tangle and tussle with you and breaking down the assets collectively then, in comparison to what we're trying to do with our assets now?
For the record I was still in favor of trading any combination of assets
Gallo/Chandler/Moz/Douglas/Fields/Randolph/Curry/Felton/Jorts/Jordan/Rottens/picks(2 1st(Melo trade) and 8 2nds(Melo/Felton/Camby trades)
All of that was in play prior to and/or after making the Melo trade)
Who cares about the 54win trickeration season. Only maybe you do.
I care about our overall outlook. I'd rather us be a 46-48 peak win team with the ability to make it to an ECF year after year with cap flexibility and assets than to be a FOOL-AID GOLDS team 40 wins 1 year, 54wins the next, 26wins the next, 35 the next, with no cap flexibility, and no assets in the fold.
Let me know when you're game. I can even create a separate thread on it so all fans can get perspective on the value of singular assets.
We're 5-15 now near coma….so look at your self in the mirror and NOT SURE IF SERIOUS(you joker)

As I recovered from the auto accident, one of the things I realized was that I was glad I wasn't running league anymore. After 10+ years, I think its time to let Doh and Doke have the reins on more than just a temporary basis. I knew Doh was up for the task, and the help given by Dan, including a rating system is fantastic. I think the league is now better than when I ran it, and JB deserves the best!
The real question though is if I can get Doh back as a partner....my limptastic elbow is in even worse shape than ever!

LimeWire's antitrust countersuit was thrown
out last week after a federal judge granted the RIAA's motion to dismiss
claims against the company.
Many of the claims were dismissed "without prejudice," which
would allow LimeWire's parent company, Lime Group LLC, to file new lawsuits
under state courts.
Lime Group listed a wide variety of complaints against
record labels and the music industry, with the overall theme being that
industry execs conspired against LimeWire and others using a variety of schemes
to undermine P2P and P2P companies' efforts to legitimate themselves.
Some of these complaints include:
In his ruling, U.S. District Judge Gerald Lynch wrote that
most of Lime Group's claims "fail to allege an adverse effect on competition
market-wide." Additionally, Lynch noted that record labels presented over 100gb
of data totaling 29 million pages worth of information for their defense, while
LimeWire failed to produce "any additional facts it would plead that would
enable it … to demonstrate the existence of a conspiracy."
Lime Group's countersuit was filed in response to the RIAA's lawsuit
against the P2P client, which was launched just days after its $100 million legal
victory over Kazaa.
RIAA executives applauded Lynch's ruling, noting that Lime Group's
countersuit was nothing but a diversionary tactic designed to "take attention
away from … [the] massive infringement that is the real focus of this case."

The team's last league title was in 1991 and previous Central Coast Section co-championship was in 1990. So, the players began writing 1991 in black ink on themselves as they pushed toward the West Bay Athletic League title.
"I just kept tracing over what I written the previous week," said Menlo senior Shannon Lacy. "I think they (the numbers) just kept getting bigger."
When Menlo finally claimed the WBAL title, the players scratched off 1991 and wrote 2012. Then, the focus shifted to CCS.
The Knights had shared section titles from 1988-90, but never won an outright CCS crown. So, the players wrote 1990 on themselves before each section match.
"It (the marks) never went away," said sophomore Jay Boissiere. "We had 1990 and 1991 on us since November."
If nothing else, the dates pointed the way toward titles because Menlo followed up the long-awaited league title with a CCS Division III crown last Saturday at Valley Christian High in San Jose following a 2-0 victory over Santa Cruz.
"It worked so well," Lacy said of the Sharpie numbers' game. "We wanted this so bad this year."
With the section victory secured, the Knights marked off 1990 and wrote 2012. Mission accomplished.
Menlo, the No. 4 seed, finished 15-4-3. The Knights eliminated No. 1 Scotts Valley in the semifinals, 1-0, on a penalty kick by Boissiere before upending No. 2 Santa Cruz.
"This is the best team I've ever had," head coach Donoson FitzGerald said. "I've had a lot of great teams at Menlo, but this team is above and beyond."
FitzGerald and the Knights had been close before, losing the 2000 finale to Santa Cruz, which knocked out Menlo in both the 2003 and 2010 quarterfinals.
Heading into this season's postseason, the Knights had played in seven of the previous 10 section tournaments and had lost to the eventual champion each time. By reaching the finals last weekend, the Knights faced the prospect of making that eight out of 11 years.
This time, it didn't happen.
"I don't think anyone on our team thought we weren't going to win our championship game," Lacy said.
Boissiere scored Menlo's first goal off a penalty kick with six minutes left in the first half. After sophomore forward Chandler Wickers was fouled from behind on a breakaway, Boisserie stepped up.
"Generally I try to get (the goalie) to go the wrong way so I can not hit it perfectly and still have it go in," Boisserie said, who was 3-3 on penalty kicks in the CCS playoffs.
Menlo took a 1-0 lead into halftime and never looked back, keeping the ball in Santa Cruz's territory for most of the second half.
Wickers was relentless at the point of attack for Menlo and punched in the team's second goal off a nifty assist from sophomore Lindsay Karle in the 67th minute.
The vaunted Menlo defense suffocated the Santa Cruz attack and recorded its 11th shutout of the season. Lacy led the way once again and the defense prevented the Cardinals from mustering any dangerous scoring opportunities in the second half. The formidable tag team of junior goalies Kelly McConnell and Julia Dressel recorded yet another shutout.
"We're really in tune with each other," Lacy said. "If it gets past one of us we're really good at getting back and supporting each other."
Early in the game, both teams had good opportunities at goal. Wickers narrowly missed a shot over the crossbar and a Santa Cruz header sailed wide left of the frame.
Menlo had a couple of scoring chances after its first goal; Boisserie had a nice left-footed cross into the box for sophomore Siena Stritter and Wickers fed Karle for a through ball that was snuffed out by the Santa Cruz keeper. In the second half senior Elyse Adler's long throw-ins caught Santa Cruz sleeping, with Menlo's forwards swooping in from behind.
"We played a very good team," FitzGerald said. "We certainly have some incredible individuals, but this team all the way through is strong. We found a way to win with different players stepping up. It's hard to put a finger on it. I love this team. I love to see who they are as people . . . These girls kept playing at such a high level.
"This group of kids evolved into a special team over the season. First, the character of the 19 girls is outstanding. Each of the players was committed to the team and to each other. They gave their best effort consistently. They were unselfish. The liked each other. All were talented soccer players."
For FitzGerald, in his 23rd season, it all came together and added up to a championship.
"We had two strong goalkeepers, a group of really tough and skilled defenders, creative and hard-working midfielders, and many goal-scoring forwards," FitzGerald said. "We had role players coming off the bench who gave us a contribution in that role. The team played very hard and they played for each other.
"This tam was a team in every sense. They pulled together, believed in each other, played hard, had fun, and created a beautiful soccer team. I am so proud of them and so happy for the team they created together."

Rangers scratch Darvish with uncertainty of weather
Baker makes start vs. Orioles; Yu will start Friday against Mets
By T.R. Sullivan / MLB.com
BALTIMORE -- The Rangers scratched pitcher Yu Darvish from his start on Thursday against the Orioles because of the uncertainty about the weather. Scott Baker started in his place.
The start of the game was delayed by 56 minutes because of the rain going through the Baltimore area. But the Rangers had concerns that more rain was coming and there might be a lengthy delay during the middle of the game.
The Rangers were concerned that such a delay would force them to take Darvish out of the game after a shorter than normal outing. They didn't want Darvish to pitch two to three innings, then have to come out of the game after a one- to two-hour delay and not pitch again until next week.
Darvish is now scheduled to pitch on Friday against the Mets at Citi Field although there is still uncertainty about the East Coast weather because of the presence of Tropical Storm Arthur, which is approaching the North Carolina coast.
But as of right now, Darvish will get just two more starts before the All-Star break. If he pitches on Friday, his final start would be on Wednesday against the Astros. That will allow him to pitch in the All-Star Game the following Tuesday in Minnesota with plenty of rest.
The All-Star teams will not be announced until Sunday night but Darvish has been selected by the players two years in a row. He is 8-4 with a 2.42 ERA after 15 starts. He is third in the league in ERA and fourth in strikeouts.

I am making the following observation without any understanding of what went wrong with my computer. I tried to upgrade to the latest version of the Zone Alarm Security Suite which messed up my computer. When I finally managed to uninstall this latest version I found by looking at the Vista diagnostic program that my graphics card was not working properly I therefore attempted to upgrade the driver which sorted some of my long term problems. All this is a mystery to me. I also discovered on Google that this card has an inbuilt fire wall; could this be in conflict with the Zone Alarm fire wall.
I have now made two unsuccessful attempts to upgrade to V 8----35. Is there any user of the same PC as mine who has successfully upgraded to the latest Zone Security Suite?

Rockies to sign Ortiz; Giambi deal close
Pact with righty likely official Sunday; slugger would add depth
By Thomas Harding / MLB.com
The two would represent veteran reinforcements for Colorado down the stretch run.
Ortiz, 35, went 3-6 with a 5.57 ERA in 23 games, including 13 starts, with the Astros before being released. He signed a Minor league deal with the Yankees but opted out after going 2-1 with a 1.59 ERA without being promoted to the Majors.
The signings would come before the Sept. 1 date to expand the rosters to 40. More importantly, with the Rockies leading the National League Wild Card race by two games after Saturday's 14-11 win over the Giants, Ortiz is in the organization well before the Aug. 31 deadline for players to be eligible for the postseason roster.
The need for help grew Saturday, when the Rockies placed right-hander Aaron Cook (10-6) on the 15-day disabled list with right shoulder soreness and, under a hopeful preliminary diagnosis, could lose him for more than three weeks.
Ortiz has succeeded with strong teams in the past. He won 67 games for the Giants from 1998-2002 and went 21-7 with the Braves in 2003. But injuries have plagued Ortiz in recent years. He missed all of last season after undergoing right elbow surgery.
If the Rockies complete an agreement with Giambi, as expected, he could represent a left-handed power bat off the bench during the stretch. The Athletics released Giambi after he batted .193 with 11 home runs and 40 RBIs in 58 games. He is a career .282 hitter with 407 home runs.

This weekend the first ever Rivals100 Five-Star Challenge is being held in Atlanta, Ga. The star studded roster contains one Florida commitment and several top targets. Today, Inside the Gators runs down those the Gator Nation should be watching this weekend.
[Related: Challenge Roster]
Headlining the list for Florida fans will be the Gators lone commit taking part in the event - Crescent City (Fla.) Rivals250 defensive tackle Caleb Brantley.
The 6-foot-3, 305-pound lineman said that he is on a mission this weekend to prove that he should have never been dropped from the Rivals100.
[Related: Century Mark: Brantley wants back in]
Though there may only be one Florida commit competing this weekend, there are several top targets in attendance as well.
Gators legacy prospect, Orlando (Fla.) Rivals100 safety Marcell Harris, visited Florida last weekend in order to help him prepare to compete against the best-of-the-best at the Challenge.
[Related: Harris visits familiar Gators]
Joining Harris in the defensive backfield is a fellow Sunshine State prospect.
Seffner (Fla.) Armwood safety Leon McQuay III, the No. 33 rated prospect in the Rivals100, is still open when it comes to recruiting, but the Gators are on his list.
There are two receivers at the event that the Gators are targeting.
Rivals100 Charlotte (N.C.) Mallard Creek wide out Marquez North, the No. 31 rated prospect in the nation, attends the same high school as Class of 2012 UF signee D.J. Humphries and has the Gators on his list, but has yet to visit Florida and many believe he will stay closer to home.
Then there's Fort Valley (Ga.) Peach County four-star wide out Demarcus Robinson. After visiting Florida two weeks ago, the Rivals250 prospect rated the trip to Gainesville a 9 on a 1-to-10 scale.
[Related: Robinson rates visit a nine]
However, after visiting Clemson last weekend, the nation's No. 13 rated receiver called Clemson his new leader.
[Related: New leader for wide receiver Robinson]
And finally, there's Honolulu (Hawaii) Moanalua defensive tackle Scott Pagano.
The 6-foot-3, 280-pounder is perhaps the most interesting back story of all of those in attendance. He is quickly shooting up the recruiting rankings and secured his place at the Challenge after issuing somewhat of a challenge via Twitter.
[Related: Pagano ends long journey to Challenge]
Though he hails from Hawaii, the Rivals250 prospect said that he was a Gators fan growing up and currently has a top two which includes both UF and LSU.

Discussion in 'TV & Media' started by Flying Spaghetti Monster, Dec 10, 2012.
I only just started it.
He'll examine why it's great, and why it sucks!
Fantastic! Looking forward to a new Plinkett review!
That was ok. He didn't rip it to sh*t as much as I hoped he would. Look forward to his possible Star Trek V review.
Finished part 1 - definitely a weaker review. I'll catch the second part tomorrow, but I would have rather he reviewed something else. I just have no connection to this movie, positive or negative I guess.
He ripped it enough, but I'm actually glad he praised it in certain areas.. particularly script call-backs (Cameron is very good at such pay-offs) and the attention to SFX and detail. It would have been negligent for him to just bash the film. Regardless of whether you hate it or not, there was a lot to praise about the film.
Who releases a much-anticipated video late on a Sunday night?!
... Or maybe that's intentional? A way of discouraging server overload?
Did anyone here watch Sunday's streaming event that the site put on leading up to the new review. I'm so happy to have seen Galaxy Warrior after seeing clips on Half in the Bag.
Yeah, the review itself was underwhelming. Without Star Wars, Half in the Bag and their other projects have become much more interesting than the Plinkett reviews.
I think they did it in concert with their "stream day."
I find it odd to see people kind of disappointed with this review because it wasn't a total scathing review. People may be disappointed that the whole murder-hooker thing has been diluted a bit. To both counts, I think Plinkett was wise. He still has a lot of the latter humor peppered in there but he doesn't want it to take away from the actual film critique. And the film itself, like it or not, is significant in film history, for how it used effects, how it ignored the cynicism that creeps into most modern films, how it used effects, and what it meant to people who watched it. Simply pounding the film would make him seem rather short sighted. RLM might make a lot of jokes, and they might not take themselves too seriously, but they most certainly are interested in all aspects of film making,
He rarely does reviews these days in his traditional fromat.
I'm fine with him not slamming it. It definitely has merit, despite not being a favorite of mine. It just didn't seem like that interesting a film choice to make. There's NOT a lot to rip on but there's not a lot to heavily praise either. I didn't dislike it because it wasn't scathing. In fact, his Trek 09 review was almost entirely positive and I enjoyed that one quite a bit. I just think this was a rare miss. Looking forward to the next one (and I am enjoying Half in the Bag in the meantime).
I love Plinkett, and I thought this review was okay. I'm a fan of Titanic, and have many wonderful memories tied to seeing it. I think that, as usual, he hit all of the right notes on why it was good and bad. One of the things I like about Plinkett's reviews is the addition of insight. He explains why a shot is good or bad, which gives me a peek into how movies are made, and what goes into them. So on that score, he did great as always.
Still, for some reason, it fell a little flat for me. I think because this review felt less organized. It didn't have that same tight clip that his other reviews have. Watch one of his Star Wars reviews, and then the Titanic review, and you'll see what I mean. This one feels almost "lazy" in a sense, though I doubt that Plinkett would be lazy in his reviews for even a second.
That said, I enjoyed it, and always look forward to his next review.
That's because it lacks the "fast music" during the compilation parts. LOL you know what I mean!
lol - I DID miss that! But I actually felt like there wasn't a whole lot of insight. I think most people know what was good and what was bad about Titanic. I think Santa Hooves hit the nail on the head - Plinkett movies usually have some nifty insight, but where I differ is that I don't think that insight was in this one for me.
Actually I find that (I'm not pointing to anyone in particular) that people that hate Titanic tend to say that they hate everything about it. Or people that like it just like it without knowing that it's flawed. I think Plinkett's goal was showing how there is justification to actually being of two minds about the subject.
I think he's lost nothing in his editing skills, particular side by side comparison bits. He could have compared Titanic to other important films more, kind of how he did the whole Episode 3/ Citizen Kane thing.
Fair enough. Again, it wasn't shit and I'm not hating on it. It's just probably the weakest Plinkett review of the lot, in my opinion.
I just think the jokes weren't as good in this review. I love the insight (These guys know their stuff) but I mostly watch RLM for the Rich Evans goofball comedy stuff. This review just wasn't as funny as many of the others.
I'm not slamming them though. I still enjoyed the video greatly. I also think the website is really on top of it's game right now. Half in the Bag has really become something special and I can't wait for them to start filming Space Cop. Hell, I've bought their dvds and an autographed poster.
Hate to say it, but this review was a big letdown - not unwatchable, but a bit dull, and I don' think I'll ever revisit it. I guess Stoklassa didn't want to go the obvious route of reviewing a Matrix sequel or Trek V, but Titanic really is a poor choice for anal-sis - its virtues and flaws are immediately apparent, and hard to elaborate on.
Still, here are some interesting points he could have discussed, but didn't:
- The dialogue is heavily melodramatic, yes, and, contrary to what he suggested with the Casablanca clip, not more so than much of "Old Hollywood" style. But the dialogue serves the story, and the story, however contrived, gives us a nearly complete tour of the ship in the course of one narrative through-line without ever feeling like a checklist-ticking scavenger hunt. Surely this was intentional. Does that make the movie better?
- Did Rose make the right choice in dealing with the diamond? So long as her ex and his relatives were around, using or donating it could have been very tricky and unpleasant, but by the time of the framing story, surely no one would question her ownership of it. A good time, in other words, to donate it to some kind of charity?
- To what extent, if any, were/are any charges of exploiting a human tragedy for popcorn entertainment justified?
- Does the movie represent a step backward for Cameron's line of badass female heroines?
... Etc. Instead, the review was bloated, meandering, and, apart from the callbacks section and the interesting if not terribly relevant comparison to other Titanic works, really pretty lightweight. I am dissapoint.
I'm not sure what's going on but my Chrome browser consistently crashes about 4 minutes into Plinkett's review.
Separate names with a comma.

Mechanoadaptation of Bone in Growth, Maintenance and Disease
Sandra Shefelbine, Assistant Professor, Imperial College, London
Monday, January 24, 2011, 3:30pm
This seminar is part of the Jones Seminars on Science, Technology, and Society series
The primary role of long bones is to support load. It is therefore not surprising that bones adapt to mechanical loads. This seminar will present on-going work in Dr. Shefelbine's lab that examines (1) the influence of loading on bone morphology during growth, in particular bone deformities in cerebral palsy, (2) adaptation of bone to mechanical loads, explored through use of animal models of imposed loading, and (3) mechanical causes of bone pathology, such as osteoarthritis and brittle bone disease. These projects aim to link the mechanical environment with the biological response in order to understand the adaptive mechanisms of bone.
About the Speaker
Dr. Sandra J. Shefelbine, is currently a faculty member in the Department of Bioengineering at Imperial College London. She received her BSE from Princeton University (1997) in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, an MPhil in Engineering Design from Cambridge University (1998), and a PhD from Stanford University (2002) in Mechanical Engineering. She was recipient of the National Science Foundation International Post-Doctoral Fellowship and worked at the Institute for Orthopedic Research (Ulm, Germany). Her research uses computational methods, animal experiments, and clinical collaborations to determine the influence of mechanical loads on bones.

text: I could see us around #6, yeah-- but I like the Wiz a lot after this trade. Gortat's weirdly underrated, after being overrated when he was Dwight's backup. But I don't think Cleveland's actually going to be very good (I'm not a big Waiters or Bennett fan so far), and I think the Bucks are going to be just terrible, because who's gonna score on that team? OJ's gonna shoot like 38% if he has to be the #1 option. I think now that Del Negro's fired, Mo Cheeks will inherit the mantle of Worst Coach In The League, but the Pistons will still sneak into the 8th spot on pure talent.

RockYou diving deeper into social games
Slide and RockYou, the two largest developers of Facebook apps, have long had a serious rivalry over the most frivolous Web software. But the two may be pulling apart. Slide, Max Levchin's SuperPoke machine, signaled yesterday that it's betting on online entertainment, partnering with Hollywood to bring mainstream content to its FunSpace apps. RockYou, meanwhile, seems to be turning into a gamemaker. "We want to be like the Electronic Arts of social networks, and build games for social networks," RockYou CEO Lance Tokuda, shown here, said today at the Startonomics conference in San Francisco, referring to the dominant maker of videogames.Build, or perhaps buy. In July, RockYou acquired Speed Racing, one of the top games on Facebook. But RockYou, in diverting its attention from its rivalry with Slide, will face well-funded competitors in startups Zynga and SGN. By the time all this becomes a serious business, isn't it just as likely Electronic Arts will be the Electronic Arts of social games?

Luetge makes just one mistake in win
By Greg Johns / MLB.com
But one critical person was missing. Luetge's wife, Lacie, his high school sweetheart from Bellville High in southeast Texas, had driven home to Houston earlier in the day at his insistence and missed his historic moment.
"My wife is going to kill me," Luetge, 25, said with a grin. "I made her go home because she's flying to meet us in Seattle [on Thursday] and I didn't want her driving at night. She's going to be tearing my ear up when I get on the phone."
But Luetge's parents and in-laws and grandparents -- who live in Industry, Texas (population 300) were all in attendance and thrilled to see his shining moment as he struck out sluggers Josh Hamilton and Nelson Cruz, while giving up only a single to Michael Young in putting the Mariners in position for their come-from-behind win.
"It was exciting because I knew I was in the situation to get the win and for the team to win," he said. "To come back like that was just really intense. It's what you dream of, to get a win and be in the box score with a 'W' beside your name."
Manager Eric Wedge was pleased the youngster who not only got the lefty Hamilton for the final out in the seventh after Steve Delabar surrendered a pair of home runs, but then got right-handers Adrian Beltre and Cruz in his following inning as well.
"It was big for him to push his way through that eighth inning, right in the heart of their lineup," said Wedge. "Not just getting Hamilton, but for him to run through those right-handers, pretty impressive performance."
Montero has solid first showing behind plate
ARLINGTON -- After all the questions about his defensive abilities, rookie catcher Jesus Montero had a solid showing in his first game behind the plate Wednesday for the Mariners in their come-from-behind 4-3 victory over the Rangers.
Montero, 22, was regarded as one of baseball's premier hitting prospects coming up with the Yankees, but some baseball people questioned whether he'd ever be an everyday starting catcher after Seattle acquired him by trade for Michael Pineda. But after playing strictly at designated hitter in Seattle's first six games, the 6-foot-3 youngster handled himself well in his catching debut.
"I thought he did a great job," said Mariners manager Eric Wedge, himself a former backstop. "I think anybody watching the game saw a young man back there that caught a great ballgame. He handled [Kevin] Millwood good, handled the bullpen very well. He blocked the ball well, called a good game, received well. I was really impressed with him behind the plate."
The Rangers stole one base on Montero, but he blocked several of Millwood's pitches in the dirt and handled everything thrown at him defensively. Then he delivered a critical sacrifice fly as Seattle scored three runs in the top of the ninth for the winning rally.
"I was very happy to be behind the plate," Montero said. "I did my best. I was hustling back there to help Millwood and the other pitchers, too. I was blocking balls, trying to keep it in front of me. We did a good job together."
Millwood, 37, said he let Montero know what he wanted to throw in different situations, but said the youngster stayed on the same page with him.
"He did well," said Millwood, who threw six innings of one-run ball in his Mariners debut. "We talked a little before about what was going on and what I wanted to do. He went along with it pretty well and it was pretty seamless for me."
Montero extended his hitting streak to five games with a 1-for-3 night, his average at .286, and he was back at designated hitter in Thursday's series finale with veteran Miguel Olivo remaining the regular starter behind the plate.
But Wedge said Montero's day will come and that all the preconceived notions about his defensive liabilities seem far off base.
"I don't know where it comes from," said Wedge. "It's like anything else in today's social media. Something starts and it takes on a life of its own. This guy has done a solid job all spring. He does nothing but continue to get better and he just turned 22.
"I've been very specific and confident in the fact I believe this guy is very capable of being an everyday catcher at some point in time, but there's no reason to rush him. He's still breaking into the big leagues, going through a lot of things each and every day for the first time, and he's right on track. I've been very pleased."
Wedge rearranges lineup behind Vargas
ARLINGTON -- Mariners manager Eric Wedge juggled his lineup a bit for Thursday's series finale against the Rangers, giving rookie Alex Liddi his first start at third base and Casper Wells his debut in left field.
The two right-handed hitters replaced lefties Dustin Ackley and Michael Saunders, as the two were given a day off against Texas southpaw Derek Holland.
"I planned on doing that from the start of the season against the left-hander," said Wedge. "You've got to play your guys. We've got to get them in there, so this has been the plan all along and I'm looking forward to watching them play. Holland has given us fits here in a short period of time he's been up. Hopefully these guys will help us win a ballgame today."
Holland is 3-0 with 5-1 with a 3.17 ERA in 10 games (six starts) against the Mariners, including 3-0 with a 2.77 ERA in four starts last year.
Ackley and Saunders are facing some "normal leg soreness" from getting back into the grind of playing every day, Wedge said, so they can use the day to rest before Seattle opens its home season Friday against the A's.
Ackley has also been getting back to full speed after missing three days with illness when the team returned from Japan.
"I think he's still working his way back from that," Wedge said. "He's fine, but as I said when it happened, I don't think he had six pounds to lose. But he's OK."
The whole team is ready to get back to Seattle, having been on the road now since Spring Training opened on Feb. 10 in Peoria, Ariz.
"I just have to remember how to get home. It's been two-and-a-half months," said Wedge, who keeps his home on Mercer Island, Wash. "I'm sure everybody is ready to get home. It's been an interesting spring, no doubt about that."
Worth noting
• When the Mariners scored three runs in the top of the ninth on Wednesday to wipe out a 3-1 deficit to the Rangers, it was the first time since April 10, 2010 they'd come from that far back in the final at-bat to win on the road.
• Apparently April 11 is a good day for comebacks. Wednesday's three-run burst in the ninth inning came exactly one year after Seattle overcame a 7-0 deficit by scoring eight runs in the final three innings for an 8-7 victory over Toronto at Safeco Field.
• The Safeco Field gates open at 4:40 p.m. Friday for Opening Night, with pre-game festivities beginning at 6:30 p.m. Former Mariner center fielder Mike Cameron will throw out the ceremonial first pitch. Anna Graceman, a 12-year-old from Juneau, Alaska, will sing the National Anthem. Graceman was a finalist on America's Got Talent.
The annual run-around-the-bases kickoff moment will be made by Make-A-Wish recipient Olivia Hanstad of Mt. Vernon, Wash.
• Kevin Millwood on Wednesday became the first starter to allow one or fewer runs, pitch six or more innings and strike out seven or more batters in his Mariners debut since Cliff Lee on April 30, 2010 against the Rangers.
• Outfielder Carlos Peguero had surgery in Seattle on Thursday morning to repair the torn medial meniscus in his left knee injured while rounding second base in a game on Saturday for Triple-A Tacoma. Peguero is expected to return in 4-6 weeks.

Started with me getting pi$$ed off at my serving, which affected the rest of my game. I need to get fitter (am already a lot better than 2 months ago). But I kinda went away mentally, and that kinda burns more. :-| I need to get more height on the rally balls, I am not getting enough time to recover.

Troubles been a brewin in my idyllic little college town of Corvallis, Ore.
Its the kind of trouble that Ive seen before in the many college towns Ive lived in. Its trouble that can disrupt communities, destroy the fabric of neighborhoods, turn residents against each other and turn many of the townsfolk against the college, leaving a bitter legacy.
The trouble is caused by the propensity of colleges to grow, expanding their campuses or their student populations or both in ways that affect the surrounding towns livability. The growth usually results in housing shortages; oversized, architecturally inferior student-apartment buildings jammed into charming old neighborhoods; traffic and parking hassles; unpopular annexations; and, ultimately, environmental degradation.
In Corvallis, for example, there are more college students than can be housed in the town, and the Oregon State University population is growing. Many townsfolk have asked why the students cant be housed on the college campus, only to be told that students dont like living in dorms.
The unspoken assumption in this discussion is that dorms can only be conceived of in the conventional way as big buildings full of little cubicle-like rooms. The big buildings, of course, are isolated from the amenities of town living shopping, entertainment, community.
But its possible to conceive of students living on campus in an entirely new way, living in housing that is an integral part of a larger system thats theirs to partially manage, to study and to take pride in. This new campus could have so much appeal to the upcoming generations of students who will have to confront resource depletion and the global environmental crisis throughout their lifetimes, that they would fight for the chance to live and learn there.
Where would tomorrows students want to spend their college careers? In a campus ecovillage.
An ecovillage is a small community that is fairly self-contained. It is a community that, like an ecosystem, uses natural, onsite energy (think sunlight) to drive integral, closed-loop production, consumption and waste-recycling processes needed to maintain life in a given locale.
College campuses, which generally have open space and residence and dining facilities, and often have sparsely used, easily converted warehouses and other facilities, can easily evolve into ecovillages. For most campuses the transformation is just a matter of building on facilities and programs that are already in place.
For example, Oregon State has a new on-campus, co-generation power and heat plant which, although it runs on fossil fuels, can be converted to run on biofuels. It also has a new engineering building that conserves energy and captures and reuses rainwater. Money raised by a self-imposed student sustainability fee equipped the engineering building with a solar hot-water system.
Sustainability programs include an interdepartmental faculty sustainability group with its own website, an active Student Sustainability Initiative program that maintains a laboratory-style house and garden on the edge of campus, and a strong, overall campus commitment to recycling and other conservation activities.
All thats needed to take the next steps toward becoming a true ecovillage is for the university to engage in a little creative visualization to redefine and reinvent itself.
How about closing some loops and having students sustainably growing a portion of the campus food supply on its hundreds of acres of open land? Can that food be processed on campus for college credit?
When it comes to recycling human waste, can students participate in the design, construction and operation of a bioremediation waste facility that processes the waste on campus so it can be reused as fertilizer?
Does that sound crazy? A waste bioremediation facility is operating on the Clatsop Community College campus in Astoria, Ore.
Meanwhile, those dorms could evolve into student-run facilities that are laboratories and models of sustainability and true social living centers that would make life on campus at least as attractive as it is in town. Could they have apartments (with kitchens) and small stores?
But enough said. For the best results, lets leave it to our future world-class students to create their own campus ecovillage. Their prototype could serve as a model for the rest of our ecological house.

The Rolling Stones have released a minute-long trailer for Crossfire Hurricane, their long-in-the-works documentary. Starting with footage of the band being interviewed for a U.S. television show, the host asks how their second U.S. tour was going, Mick Jagger replies, "Things started happening." The interviewer follows up with, "Why did they start happening?" Jagger responds, "Chemical reactions, it just happens." The clip has footage from the Stones in the '60s and '70s over the music to "The Last Time" and "Jumpin' Jack Flash." Watch the trailer here.
Crossfire Hurricane debuts on HBO on November 15.
Of course, the (arguably) bigger news that Stones fans eagerly await would be about any upcoming concerts. There have been widely circulated rumors that the band would play at least two U.S. dates this year at Brooklyn's Barclay's Center. Although there has been no confirmation from the band that they have any shows scheduled anywhere.

UK says will not use carbon revenues for climate
LONDON (Reuters) - Britain will not use money the government gets from auctioning carbon emissions permits to help it in the fight against climate change, it said on Monday.
Selling carbon emissions permits to businesses participating in Europe's carbon trading scheme could raise 60 billion euros ($85.24 billion) a year for European Union governments from 2013, Deutsche Bank estimates, and businesses are already lobbying for a slice of the windfall.
But Britain will pool any revenues into the general government budget, rather than earmark, or hypothecate, them to particular causes in advance.
"The UK will not be hypothecating auction revenue to a specific area of expenditure," the government said, in response to advice from an environment committee of British lawmakers.
That committee had recommended that Britain spend the money on measures to curb climate change.
"Hypothecation could mean that expenditure may not necessarily be allocated according to priorities -- this would be inefficient and distortionary," the government said in reply.
One senior European Commission official, Fabrizio Barbaso at the European Commission's energy and transport directorate, said last month that the auction revenues should be spent on alternative, low-carbon sources of energy like wind and solar.
Such renewable energy contributes less to global warming but is more expensive than conventional fossil fuels like oil and coal, and so needs support both in research and development and installation to drive investment and bring costs down.
"We'll need a much higher subsidy for renewable energy and hypothecating auction revenues is one of the obvious ways of doing that," said Deutsche's Mark Lewis.
The Deutsche estimate of auction revenues is based on a 35 euros carbon price and 100 percent auctioning of permits to all participating businesses. The carbon price for 2008 delivery on the European Climate Exchange on Monday was 22.2 euros.
National European governments can auction up to 10 percent of emissions permits from 2008-12, the second phase of Europe's carbon trading scheme, while the rules from 2013 are undecided.

Skip to comments.Report Of Suspicious Device On Bus Closes Portsmouth Streets
Posted on 05/06/2010 10:33:18 AM PDT by OCCASparky
PORTSMOUTH, N.H. -- Portsmouth Bus Incident Several streets in Portsmouth have been blocked off after a report of a suspicious device on a bus.
Police said the incident involved a Greyhound bus that was en route from Portland, Maine, to New York. A 911 call was received at about 11:15 a.m. from someone on the bus reporting a possible suspicious device.
Police said the area around Hanover, High and Market streets was closed.
News 9 reported that 17 passengers were still on the bus, but the bus driver had left the bus. There have been reports of a possible hostage situation, but Portsmouth Capt. Mike Schwartz said he wasn't sure why the passengers hadn't left the bus.
A SWAT team was also at the scene, and several businesses in the area were evacuated. The FAA also instituted a 3-mile no-fly zone around the area.
(Excerpt) Read more at wmur.com ...
One subject on the bus appeared to be handcuffed.
By 2 p.m., immigration and customs officials were on scene.
Developing story updates to follow
You can't make stuff like this up! Driver off, but passengers left to face the music.
re: Why a 3 mile no fly zone?
To keep news helicopters out of the area.
Might have been a case of driver getting info, switching drivers, getting luggage...hard to say, and I'm not gonna fault the guy if in fact that's the case.
So far 13 passengers have left the bus (1 at a time) with their hands in the air and directed towards police for a search. Then they are leading them into a parking garage for further questioning. One man was handcuffed during this procedure.
No news on what is happening on the bus or in the parking garage. Really weird situation!
Jordan Hot Dogs were the best - loved the Red Dogs (And I'm not even from Maine:))
By 2:40 p.m., according to Schwartz, police were attempting to establish phone communication with the man who remained on the bus, and stressed that they were not calling anybody a suspect.
According to Schwartz, police have not recovered any type of device from the bus.
Developing story updates to follow
They can't be as good as the old Schonlands.
Just a thought, but if there weren't but 17 on board, maybe it was a short bus?
Well that doesnt sound very constitutional. Unless it's for the safety of the helicopters, why prevent local media reporting on the event?
Good question, but it's pretty common practice. In busy areas like here in Tampa they have some concern about the clutter of aircraft, three or four from the news and a police helicopter or two can make for some pretty hairy flying. They also have concerns about news reports being seen by those on the ground who are the object of the cops' efforts. That's been a problem a couple of times that I know of personally. Someone hold up with access to a TV can make a better escape plan if they know where the various LE units are. That's a pretty slim reason, but it can have some validity.
They are really pretty reasonable about it unless the scene is in or near pattern traffic for an airport, or in or under the approach for runways.
Thank you for explaining that. I can see now why they wouldn't want tv coverage ~ perfectly understandable.
What makes you think those are "my damned people" They might be damned, and if I could control them I'd send the moonbats and illegals all back where they came from.
"My people" all live in the woods, randomly fire guns and run their chainsaws.
May want to avoid news choppers crashing into each other. Happened in Phoenix a year or two ago

MorphMPI (or, as Patrick suggests, we need a cooler name -- PatrickMPI? ;-) ) is the work of 1 grad clever student (or anyone else industrious enough). Elapsed time: a few months. Making even 2 MPI implementations agree on an ABI is an enormous amount of work. Given that two major MPI implementations take opposite sides on the pointers-vs.integers for MPI handles debate (and I suspect that neither is willing to change), just getting them to agree on one of them will be a major amount of work. Then changing the internals of one of those MPIs to match the other is another enormous amount of work (death by a million cuts). And MPI handles is only one issue. Consider all the rest of the issues... Elapsed time: 2 years (that's optimistic). Also, as I pointed out in my original alternate proposal, with PatrickMPI, only those who want to use an ABI will use it. Those who do *not* want an ABI do not have to have it forced upon them. -- {+} Jeff Squyres {+} The Open MPI Project {+} http://www.open-mpi.org/ _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf at beowulf.org To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf

This thread
made me nostalgic, so I thought I would post my favorite video games from childhood on my Commodore 64. I wanted to make it more general since some of these games were on all 3 systems, the Commodore, PC, and Apple.
1. Wasteland
Pretty much still number 1 or 2 for my favorite game of all time. I loved how your actions had consequences on the game world. So many great memories of this game. One summer I played it through from start to finish in one evening.
2. Airborne Ranger
This game had its hard moments, and was hardcore (your character died, start over). I got one guy up to Colonel but on his last mission he was killed.
3. Castle Wolfenstein
Never forget the gards calling me a schweinhund.
4. Into the Eagle's Nest
I remember being impressed by the graphics at the time. What a puppet show it was compared to today! This was a gauntlet-style game where you had to kill many guards by yourself.
5. Summer Games
I remember enjoying the diving event the most. I liked that the game saved your "world records"
How did I forget Sid Meier's Pirates! That game was awesome too.
