All four of RSL's full international players were victortious on Friday night, with the U.S.'s Kyle Beckerman and Nick Rimando part of the squad that won 2-1 at Antigua & Barbuda, Canada's Will Johnson a goal scorer in Canada's 3-0 win over Cuba and Costa Rica's Alvaro Saborio a key contributor in Los Ticos huge 1-0 win at El Salvador.
Johnson had the best night of RSL's international quartet, scoring the second goal in Canada's 3-0 win over Cuba at BMO Field in Toronto. The new father scored on a 72nd minute header to put Canada up 2-0 on Cuba, which only had a roster of 11 men after a number of players reportedly left the team ahead of the match. Johnson and his Canadian teammates will now travel to Honduras ahead of their Oct. 16 match in the Central American country. Manager Stephen Hart's side - which is currently in third-place, one point behind second-place Honduras - will need at least a tie on the 16th to finish in the top-two of their group and qualify for the Hexagonal.
Saborio also had a good night, playing 82 minutes and delivering a key pass that led to the lone goal in Costa Rica's 1-0 win at El Salvador. The victory vaulted Saborio and Los Ticos into second-place in their group. With what should be an easy home game against Guyana the only match left on their schedule, it looks like Costa Rica will qualify for the Hexagonal round.
Both Beckerman and Rimando dressed but did not play in the U.S.'s 2-1 win at Antigua & Barbuda. The win leaves the U.S. in first place in its group, only needing a result against Guatemala in Kansas City on the 16th to clinch passage to the Hexagonal.

Superintendent Kevin Skelly said the policies should satisfy a December 2012 agreement signed with the U.S. Office for Civil Rights in which the district agreed to revamp its procedures for handling complaints of discrimination based on "protected classes" of students, including disability, gender, race and sexual preference.
That agreement followed a December 2012 federal finding that the district's mishandling of a bullying case had violated the civil rights of a disabled student.
But Angela B., a middle school student who was flanked at the podium by six adult supporters, including her mother, said bullying is a problem for students in general, not just kids with disabilities. She recounted her experience of having been bullied on the bus and at school because she is short.
"I'm here to tell you that not only special-ed kids get bullied, and you should protect all kids to stop their suffering right now," Angela said.
Skelly said he'd return to the board by March 25 with a proposal for a district-wide policy on bullying.
The district will post and seek public comment on a draft bullying policy within the next two weeks, he said Thursday.
The district's student service coordinator, Brenda Carrillo, is drawing on policy work going back to 2012 in formulating a new proposal, he said. Carrillo could not immediately be reached for comment.
Skelly and board members said they shared concerns expressed by teachers and principals that extending a "uniform complaint procedure" beyond protected classes of students could have the effect of escalating and creating records on minor playground scuffles.
"If every bump, every cutting in line meant they had to write a report, (school staff) couldn't use those as ways of teaching in the classroom and it possibly could get in the way of teaching other things," board Vice-President Melissa Baten Caswell said.
"There was a request to us to figure out what the balance is."
The narrower focus on "protected classes" of the policies adopted Tuesday satisfies the district's 2012 agreement with federal enforcers, Skelly said.
Palo Alto resident Andrea Wolf said there had been a lack of transparency about why school district leaders had changed their minds, both on a district-wide bullying policy and on a staff proposal to "de-lane" freshman English at Palo Alto High School, which Skelly withdrew this week (see related story).
"It is impossible for a community member to participate in any meaningful way with this school district and this board of trustees," said Wolf, adding that she had attempted to closely follow both issues but felt they had not been adequately explained.
Though some adult supporters of Angela B. requested that Board President Barb Mitchell apologize for cutting short the girl's Jan. 28 testimony, Angela said Tuesday: "I don't care about an apology or not. ... All I'm suggesting is for you to listen to what children have to say.
"What happened last time wasn't planned for, but I also don't think it started us out on the right foot. Bullying has been going on for a long time, and I feel like you guys haven't done anything about it."
Mitchell, who interrupted Angela's Jan. 28 testimony, saying it was not related to the agenda item at hand, told the girl Tuesday: "Thank you, Angela, and I certainly will apologize if anything I said made you uncomfortable or caught you by surprise. Thank you for coming back and having the courage of speaking."
Earlier in the meeting, Mitchell did apologize more broadly for the duration of the Jan. 28 school board meeting, which adjourned around 2 a.m.
"I completely misestimated the amount of time it would take to cover the questions, interest levels and public comments on subjects that are very important to all of us," she said.
"What happens in that instance is it really does impact the ability of community members and staff members to impact our conversations."
In the future, Mitchell said, she plans mid-meeting time checks to determine whether agenda items need to be rearranged or postponed.
Tuesday's meeting was unusually short, adjourning around 9:30 p.m., well short of the officially targeted time of 10 p.m.

What rubbish....!!
I drink 3 gallons of the stuff every day and it's never affected my heal......
A report in the International Journal of Clinical Practice is warning of the perils of quaffing too much cola - a habit which can, by lowering blood potassium levels, result in symptoms from mild muscular weakness to paralysis. The doctors behind the fizzy doom-mongering cite the extreme case of the Oz ostrich farmer who, …
I drink 3 gallons of the stuff every day and it's never affected my heal......
and now, can't drink coke !!!
As for me 3-4 litres of (proper) Coke a day for 20+ years. No issues apart from deafness in the ears from my doctors warning me of the perils of sugar drinks.
American reader here - How much cola is 10 liters? Please describe in terms of volume of breasts needed to crush a coke can. Thanks.
Teens who drink 2 liters of soft drinks a day are getting around 850 calories from it. Adding that to a balanced diet could increase your weight by 25-30 kg.
I know that this story started off as one of those 'mad Aussie' pieces but it did make for interesting reading. My girlfriend drinks nothing but diet Coke all day, with the odd small bottle of water thrown in. She won't drink tea or coffee and any protestations on my part won't convince her that drinking that much of the sugary stuff is bad for her health. I've sent her this link.
Actually, she has been nagging me for years to stop smoking, saying that being addicted to the Evil Weed is no where near as bad. Now I've quit I can finally get my own back! Cheers Reg!
10 liter bottles? wow... must have been a strong man then. so about 10 gallons a day (rough math, not exact). Even if that's supposed to be 2 liter bottles, that a heck of a lot of soda. Bet he had to piss quite often to pass all 10 gallons of that soda.
like everything else... moderation much?
and instantly found I had more energy, slept better and had more room for beer
I drink about 3 litres of Coca Cola a day. And 2ltrs of Caffinated Energy Drinks.
I might be at risk from this lol
10 litres!!!! 10!!!....
I mean, that's just insane. And somehow he thought that was normal????
I might be wrong but surely Diet Coke doesn't have much Glucose or Fructose in it so it wouldn't really apply?
Quote: "My girlfriend drinks nothing but DIET Coke all day..."
Diet Coke contains no sugar, and far less caffeine than regular Coke, so this article doesn't really apply.
However, I think I'm correct in saying the artificial sweetener used in Diet Coke has been found to cause cancer, so the argument is probably still valid, just for different reasons.
Clearly that's the only IT angle that matters.
But only for medicinal purposes... Must find more medical conditions to support my cola habit in that case.
10 litres is five two-litre bottles, or thirty 330ml. cans.
"And the good news? Packer notes: "The only therapeutic use of soft drinks is described in a few case reports of the successful use of Coca-Cola to dissolve phytobezoars.""
Speak for yourself. I find my Mountain Dew VERY therapeutic. And anyone taking it away from me would suffer for my lack of therapy.
Mine's the one with the 32oz can of AMP in it.
there is no sugar in diet coke at all, so describing it as sugary is just plain wrong
It's about 2.5 gallons (roughly 1 liter = 1 quart).
I almost fell out of my chair laughing when it came to the kangaroo hunting bit.
The thought of someone with all that sugar and caffeine with a gun. I'm wondering if he had his shirt pulled up over his head while wearing only tidy whiteys and looking for t.p.
Anon... cuz I'm still at work.
Not to be pedantic, but diet soda isn't sugary. The worst thing about it is the aspartame, which in *insane* quantities might give you cancer - but hey, that'll only help you lose weight, so it's a win-win, really.
"My girlfriend drinks nothing but diet Coke all day, with the odd small bottle of water thrown in. She won't drink tea or coffee and any protestations on my part won't convince her that drinking that much of the sugary stuff is bad for her health."
She needn't worry about sugar, because there's no sugar in diet-anything! Just read the label for the ingredients..
Whether there's a problem with drinking massive quantities of artificial sweeteners (e.g. aspartame) in Diet Thingo, well, that's another question.
So prolific drinking coffee and eating sugary foods is likely to have a similar effect?
> My girlfriend drinks nothing but diet Coke...
> ...convince her that drinking that much of the sugary stuff...
There's a lot of sugar in her diet Coke? I wonder how it got there.
Yes, drinking vast amounts of cola knackers your electrolytes - and dehydrates you, which brings its own problems. I've played enough drinking games as a teetotaller to know this - I average about 8 litres a day at drinking-game heavy events; probably two litres on a work day, or on an all-day pub crawl. (I worked out that a pub crawl on full-fat cola quadrupled a Weightwatchers' daily allowance; fortunately I'd switched to the diet stuff by then, so I could claim the walk was healthy.) Like the beer drinkers, eat plenty and drink some water as well and all should be fine. Do it wrong and your muscles cramp up, which hurts - although fortunately I've not had lunch issues.
I'm surprised he'd not had problems before. Maybe he ran out of water.
Not liters!!!!!!!! Arrgggggghhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!
And maths, not math.
Pop/fizzy drink, not soda.
1 US Gallon = ~3.78l, so 10l is about 2.7 US Gallons (~21 US Pints).
I don't have USG to cup size conversion data, so I can't put that into Jubs.
4 litres is roughly 8 1/2 pints (US) and 10 litres is roughly 21 pints (US)
The average adult should be drinking 2.5 liters of water a day.
10 liters of water is probably not going to do you any good, so 10 liters of Coke should be a a no brainier.
Were all doomed. DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMED I SAY. Yeah ok so some twat sucks down upwards of 10 liters of soda per day and after three years gets himself sick. Well no shit Sherlock what ever gave you first fucking clue. What else was he doing to destroy his health that might have contributed to that condition as well? What you mean that's not in the learned report?? /gasps all shocked like. Yeah can't let rational ideas or logic get in the way of a justifying your grant money now can you.
Despite my love of root based sugary fizzy drinks I do make the effort to avoid ones with aspartame in, namely the ones proudly saying "Diet" or "Lite" on them, though that hasn't helped my waistline... :(
I once tried caffiene free, sugar free Coke, it was one of the most chemically vile tasting drinks I've ever had.
Coffee Enema's were all the rage (cold coffee of course) Rumor has it, that the Royal's enjoyed their health benefits too.
Until the figured out that the coffee was sucking the K and Na from their systems, and causing more issues than they solved.
Too much Caffene is BAD kids ! ... No matter which way you injest it.
I allow myself 1 Red Bull /Day.
I don't drink coffee, and maybe 3L of Coke a week.
10 liters is closer to 2.5 gallons. A liter being slightly larger than a quart. Drinking 10 gallons of coke, however, may be sufficient to make one confuse liters with gallons, I suppose.
1. Australian Coke doesn't have "fructose and glucose" as ingredients. Coke is sweetened with sucrose. Sucrose is a disaccharide of glucose and fructose, but that's not the same thing.
2. The issue appears to be with the caffeine. It's not Coke specifically, nor even cola drinks but anything with caffeine. Still, we haven't been inundated with reports about obsessive Starbucks patrons dropping from low potassium. Could be diuretic effect + low dietary intake of K+, in which case it's not the Coke's fault specifically but a general symptom of poor dietary habits.
3. PAUL NAYLOR: if your GF is drinking diet Coke, she's not drinking sugary stuff. Excess phosphates may contribute to osteoporosis though.
4. He's an ostrich farmer. Out roo shooting. What does this guy have against our Coat of Arms?
5. Why is a Greek physician writing up a paper about an Australian ostrich farmer?
sugary stuff ? buhwuh?
i drink at least 3 litres of the stuff a day, i lost several stone in weight by switching to diet!
i recentyly gave it up completely, the two week headache i got was fun :)
Its getting quite hard to find coke or anything in the 'small' old 350 ml cans (12 oz) instead they push the 600 - 800 ml as one serving. When I was 12 cans were 280 ml (10 oz). The unit cost of coke is just about 0 to manufacture. The size increase is basically a price hike in disguise.
The worst is when they push the stuff in the big bottles in high school.
Drinking is a great way to get too many calories. If you are worried about your weight - never take in calories by liquid (unless its beer). Doing this will drop your caloric intake by 20 - 40% or more if you are an Aussie Ostrich farmer.
Hah, I forgot we buy soft drinks by the liter in the US too :)
I guess I'm only about 10-15% of this guy's cola intake... I feel safe now.
nah mate, it's a bloody emu.
Ostriches are native to Africa.
Either way, they're both pretty tasty
" I think I'm correct in saying the artificial sweetener used in Diet Coke has been found to cause cancer..."
From U.S. National Cancer Institute:
A study of about half a million people, published in 2006, compared people who drank aspartame-containing beverages with those who did not. Results of the study showed that increasing levels of consumption were not associated with any risk of lymphomas, leukemias, or brain cancers in men or women.
Researchers examined the relationship between aspartame intake and 1,888 lymphomas or leukemias and 315 malignant brain cancers among the participants of the NIH-AARP Diet and Health Study from 1995 until 2000. Development of these cancers was not associated with estimated aspartame consumption, refuting a recent animal study with positive findings for lymphomas and leukemias and also contradicting claims regarding brain cancer risk.
"4. He's an ostrich farmer. Out roo shooting. What does this guy have against our Coat of Arms?"
Aussie coat of arms = An Ostrich and a Kangaroo?
How about an Emu and a Kangaroo?
Penguin: Well it's a bird isn't it?
Since when have had an Ostrich on our Coat of Arms????????????
If you look again I think you find it ia an EMU you goose.
But more than one can a day makes my teeth feel like they're disolving.
If you have a problem with your tooth enamel that can happen...
and OJ is just as acidic, so steer clear of that too...
Or maybe a limescale buildup would fizz but thats good!!
why I drink pepsi max. Sure the chemicals wont do me any good but all those zeros on the dietary information box cannot be bad for me? surely? mmm caffeine.
I think in terms of jubs, that would be approximately two...if we're judging by Bunny Gamazon, the Big Texan.
Hey, I woke up at 3 am with a headache and sore throat and proceeded to post on El Reg. I'm sorry if our $#@#ing emu looked like a ^&%$ing ostrich in my befuddled brane :-S . What's he doing with ostriches anyway? That's un-Australian, Bruce.
To make up for my mistake, I'm using the Tux the Emu icon.
"I don't have USG to cup size conversion data, so I can't put that into Jubs."

|Does the medicinal leech Hirudo medicinalis feel well in the Netherlands (Hirudinea)?
This paper provides information on the medicinal leech Hirudo medicinalis Linnaeus, 1758 particularly in The Netherlands. Although this species was common in The Netherlands in the 18th century, nowadays it is very rare. Most animals were found in waters on sandy soil (71%): dune pools (10%) and pleistocene sandy areas (61%), where it inhabits especially soft water moor and heathland pools. About 20% of the records originate from river areas, where the species can be found in breakthrough ponds and oxbow lakes. Only 9% of the records are from fen and clay areas. Records of single specimens are not proof of an established population, because these specimens could also have survived after dispersal by waterfowl. Ten populations are currently known in The Netherlands. The leech is an indicator of special conditions such as high temperatures (shallow water), aerobic soil (e.g. sand for egg development) as well as of high biodiversity (feeding on snails, fish, amphibians, water birds and mammals). The medicinal leech is therefore threatened in The Netherlands by acidification, eutrophication and desiccation of their typical water biotopes causing an elimination of their vital prey (snails, fish and amphibians). Also the changed land use in agriculture is not favourable for the medicinal leech. In the past there were many drinking pools for cattle; nowadays drinking pools are very scarce and replaced by automated drinking systems. Management to restore the typical biotopes of the medicinal leech will further favour the presence of a lot of other species considered important to nature conservancy.

Seems odd that with a fire station only blocks away these folks didn't have a chance. I hope that down the road when all the facts are known this tragedy makes some sense as best it can and provides clear reasons why their lives were lost without the opportunity to get out.
It doesn't comfort one to know that this can happen a stones throw from a fire station.

My condolences to the victim's families on this terrible tragedy. A very small one story house, fire station right down the street, and very sudden high flames might indicate a terrible accident or something deliberate. Thanks to the Palo Alto Fire Department, their hard work and quick response. Is it strange that no one seems to know who lived there or what they did, or is this just not being reported until identification is confirmed?
a resident of Triple El

The roof did not collapse--the flames were shooting out of the kitchen window when we saw it. The firefighters did cut some wholes in it to get through. The house is older, but solidly built. Mostly stucco. Most of the exterior's still intact--we heard the windows explode, but not much else. I guess there was a lot of fuel inside.
The fire department did respond fast, as did ambulances. I know, as I was on the phone with the dispatcher the entire time--it really was just a few minutes. Five maybe. Whatever happened with the fire, happened very fast since we'd been in the kitchen ten minutes earlier and have both a glass window and door that looked out on it. (And we were in the kitchen for a good 45 minutes)
It's possible both passed out from gas or smoke inhalation. I'm sure we'll hear.

Very sad.
I was traveling north on Middlefield at Oregon Expressway when I heard sirens behind me. I immediately signaled and drove to the right, the drivers in front of me would NOT move out of the way for the two fire trucks. They were stuck trying to get around these drivers. I estimate 12-15 cars in both the left and right lanes in front of me.
Please, people pay more attention, I know all of you see this all too often, sirens and people not pulling immediately to the right side.
I am NOT at all saying that these drivers caused "such a delay" and this was the tragic results, I am just trying to get it out there that I wish people would look around, these sirens were loud, there was no excuse for the drivers in front of me to not hear them, and ALL be on the right side so the fire trucks could more easily get through.

Not really. The guide lines for modern firefighters is that two can go in when there is at least two more firefighters outside. It is much safer to leave people inside longer waiting for the second fire truck. You must not expect highly paid, brave, trained, equipped with protective clothing and air packs professionals to take the same risk you do if you have a fire. We should be proud of the brave firefighters that wait until it is safe for them while people are inside. This is a national standard and not Palo Alto standard. I also have fought fires.
a resident of Downtown North

If you're going to make a comment like that then know what the actual law is. Firefighters can enter a house without having two outside if there is a known rescue. So you are incorrect. This is a national standard and set up for a reason. But you better believe that all firefighters will risk their life to save yours if they know you are in there. I doubt you have fought fires because you would know that if you have.

Yes I have fought fires and I have seen this happin. Yes I know why the guidlines were made. So we can disagree but it willnot chanced what I did long ago or what I have seen since. I will admit that as an unpaid firefighter we are a different group.

Don Shanehauer and Ed Martin graduated from Palo Alto High School in 1967. They were life-long friends. Started a pot growing business in the Santa Cruz hills in the 70's and did well for themselves. Retired in the 80's and eventually moved into Don's mother's home on Embarcardero. They were good-humored and energetic as young men and became gentle but very reclusive old souls whose lives were eventually worn down by drug and alcohol abuse. Having lived their lives together, there's some mercy in the fact that they died together.
RIP, my old friends.

I realize it's California and pot might as well be legal, but I find it a little strange that you'd throw in that "they had a pot growing business" into an otherwise heartfelt post.

About 20years ago we were living an an older rental near there, and I was home bound a lot with health problems. One day my spouse came home after work and took me for a walk - as we walked around the block, we kept smelling gas. We finally realized it was coming from our house! To make a long story short, Somehow the old heater had malfunctioned, the pilot light had gone out, and there was gas spewing out the flu all day! I didnt really smell it so much in the house because it was going up the flu, but luckily nothing ignited it. There but for the grace of God go I, as they say.
How awful for everyone. Thanks to our firefighters for their rapid response. Condolences to the neighbors and family.

50 plus,
There were numerous firefighters from the get-go. They did not hold off looking for people inside the house. Keep in mind, that the picture you see takes place after the firefighters were already combating the fire. When we called the flame from the window was more than 15 feet high. Whatever happened, happened fast. Like Condolences, I also wonder if there was a leak of some kind.

Lots of second guessing, rumor mongering, and scare tactics here.
It is likely that we will be told more at a later stage about the specifics of this fire.
However, it seems that the house was stuffed to the brim with old stuff that became fuel as srt oon as the fire started. This should be a warning to those of us who tend to hoard old stuff, papers, to the extent that egress can be hampered as well as entrance for firefighters.
From what I have been lead to believe, when people die in a fire they generally are overcome by the smoke and fall unconscious before the fire reaches them, even if the fire starts in the same room.
The fact that this house was so close to a firestation and there were still deaths shows several possibilities, but speculations are only that at this stage.
I look forward to finding out more as to why these two people were not able to survive. I have my own questions, but will not voice them now.

The police have spent a TON of time and manpower investigating this fire. There were perhaps 10 police cars parked out there for much of the weekend, in addition to the investigation van, etc. I'm guessing this is easily $50K-100K in overtime. Either it is a crime scene or they are vastly over-working a simple house fire. It's important to do a thorough job but it is very inefficient and bad police practices to have too many people working a crime scene, as it leads to inconsistencies and mistakes that can be exploited by criminal defense attorneys.

That's what I was thinking. The rapidity, almost explosiveness, of the blaze, so fast that two people could not exit such a small house, and the fact that they would not go into the house the next day because of toxic fumes causes me to wonder [portion removed.] It's natural to wonder, but speculation does not prove anything.

Thank you Weekly for the information about the victims and their families.

I drove by and did not see the 10 Palo Alto Police cars. Did you miss the part about the Joint Arson Task Force in the article? Perhaps it was them. Would you rather they spend money and do a good investigation or not? Pretty sure you would be on here criticizing them for that if the investigation was lacking. Also pretty sure it is a crime scene until "foul play" can be ruled out. You should listen to Phil.

Too many officers at a crime scene negatively, not positively, affects an investigation. A well worn example was the OJ Simpson case in which the defense was able to exploit inconsistencies amongst officers. Police procedures manuals and training confirm. Keep the investigation team small and focused, not large and dispersed.

I am Don's nephew. Our family thanks those of you who have expressed your sympathies.
We are further saddened by those of you who have posted negative and anonymous posts. Suggestions of criminal activity are wrong. Authorities have determined that the fire started in the corner of the kitchen where the coffee pot and toaster were located.
And, second guessing the fine men and women of the Pslo Alto Police and Fire Departments is wrong. They have been kind, thorough and professional with our family. If your family is ever killed in an accident, I'm sure you would appreciate the authorities expending the resources necessary to determine the facts of what happened.
If you want to be critical, have the guts to use your real name.

Mr. Schoennauer, I am so sorry for your loss. I know how incredibly fast fires can burn, and how quickly smoke takes over. I lost a dear community member recently to a house fire, and his loved ones are still trying to come to terms.
We heard the sirens and smelled the smoke, as we were in the neighborhood. Our hope had been that everyone made it out safely.
I think that some important lessons to take away from this: have fire extinguishers on hand, and try to remember how incredibly fast and deadly fire and smoke are.

[Portion removed.] Thanks for the information about where the fire started. Having heated up a pan with some cooking oil beyond the smoke point a few times I know that cooking oil can be almost explosive and might cause a fire as well. From the description it sure sounded like the fire spread and expanded very quickly and burned very hot.

Don was an impressive guy - dedicated to skating, he wasn't around in the neighborhood too much, but I can remember he had a great wit - very cool kid.. The last time I saw Don was right after he came home from the service. I was drafted in '69 and can relate to the toll that miserable war took on many of my friends.. My deep condolences with much Peace to you and your family please RIP Don Schoennauer

Latchis Arts close to fund-raising goal
BRATTLEBORO -- The seats have been ordered.
After having its fund-raising campaign for restorations to the seating and ceiling at the Latchis Theatre delayed by Tropical Storm Irene, Latchis Arts is close to reaching its goal and the project is on track.
Latchis Arts Director Gail Nunziata said about $420,000 of the approximately $550,000 needed to complete the work has been raised, enough, she said to order the seats and set the project in motion.
"We are delighted we have been able to reach this point," Nunziata said. "You do the work you need to do and follow the road map for these kind of things and hope it all falls into place. We are ready to go."
Latchis Arts wants to replace all of the seats in the main theater and refurbish the ceiling, including replacing the zodiac signs which have been damaged over the years.
The money will also be used to install new lighting and replace some of the flooring in the theater.
Nunziata said that even though the organization needs to raise another $130,000 or so it was important to order the chairs and have all of the pieces in place to follow the schedule.
She was impressed by how the project has been supported so far and said she was confident the rest of the money would be raised.
"It's amazing how this project has been embraced with the same enthusiasm we have for it," Nunziata said. "People have been supportive in so many ways."
She said the money has been donated by both large grants and individual gifts.
About $239,000 has been raised through individual donors, with another $182,000 coming in through foundations and grants.
The main theater in the historic Latchis building will close on Aug. 1 and remain closed through the first week in October.
The other three theaters at the Latchis will remain open during construction.
The closing will be kicked off with a special concert on July 31, though Nunziata said details are still being worked out for that event.
A grand opening celebration is tentatively planned for Oct. 19
"We're right on schedule," Nunziata said. "We have the money to pay for what we have committed. I assume it is all going to fall into place."
Latchis Arts was prepared to start the fund raising campaign in the summer of 2011, when Tropical Storm Irene hit and flooded Flat Street. The Latchis building received significant damage in the flood and it took almost a year to rehabilitate the building.
The group kicked off its campaign earlier this year.
"We love this building and the community has showed us that they love it too," said Nunziata. "It's a big undertaking to keep a historic building like this going and I'm glad we have all this help to make it work."
To learn more about the project, or to donate to the work, go to www.latchisarts.org.

A dynamic and, at times, disturbing multimedia performance, Sanctuary focuses primarily on three female characters: a mother bombarded by television broadcasts of destruction and death, a detached war correspondent, and a POW in Kosovo. All three are deeply affected by the brutality and senselessness of war. Each seeks refuge, sanctuary, from its violence. Incorporating writings from Rumi's poetry to soldiers' emails, Sanctuary follows the intransigence of war throughout history. A theme emerges: one war is like another, as seen in the compelling use of video footage from conflicts spanning the last century. Can we possibly break the cycle? Yes.

We're long time fans of MOM's Organic Market, but moving away from the Alexandria location has made it harder to visit — until now. MOM's has opened it's newest Virginia location in Merrifield. (Technically it's in Fairfax but just outside Falls Church.) Merrifield is the site of the coming-soon Mosaic District shopping center which will also have a Red Apron Butcher (yay!) and Target (for those less organic needs). The ninth store in the local MOM's family, the Merrifield store is holding it's grand opening celebration this weekend, Friday 9/14 through Sunday 9/16, with lots of great samples and kids activities. The littlest foodie tot and I got a sneak peek today.
It may have helped that it was lunchtime, but the tot walked through the aisles exclaiming, "Purple milk? I LOVE purple milk. Bread? I LOVE bread. Cheese? I LOVE cheese," and so on. (We also took home two free loaves of Spring Mill bread — a locally-baked favorite.)
After we finished shopping, we shared a beet burger and blueberry muffin from the Naked Lunch counter. (They'll have kombucha on tap, if you're into that sort of thing.) If you're local, you'll want to head on down and check it out!

Last week I set a career high for myself in games played at this level. You will always get some bumps and bruises over the long season, but I feel good on the whole. I also feel good about the way I've swung the bat this year.
Last year, I played in more than 100 games. But when I look back, it seems I had a lot of peaks and valleys. I believe I really only had two good stretches last season, stretches when I felt I swung the bat really well.
This year, I feel like I've been able to better regulate my slumps, which, in turn, has helped me make a bigger contribution to the club. Experience has played a big part in that.
The more you are around something, the more comfortable you feel. The more you try and learn at this level, the better off you'll be. I realize I'm still young and this is still a long process, but I see myself making progress.
I'm pleased that I've also been able to swing the bat well in the couple weeks since returning from my strained oblique injury, too. Unlike last year, I never really felt like I lost my edge during the down time. But there were a couple of key differences. Last year, I was on the DL for a longer period of time. This year, I was able to start swinging the bat a little bit sooner, too. That helped. It gave me confidence when I got back.
I've also been happy with my progress in base running and reducing my strikeouts. We work on base running a lot in Spring Training. We're a team that has speed and we want to maximize that speed. I think this year I've shown I can run the bases well and steal bases.
Cutting down on strikeouts goes back to experience, too. I've seen some of the pitchers a few times now. Having history with a guy certainly helps. It helps you game-plan better and if you know what you're trying to do, it helps.
There's still a few weeks of baseball left and plenty of work to be done. We have a lot we can do during that time. We want to compete against teams like the Dodgers, Giants and Rockies -- teams that are still in the race -- and let them know we have some new guys and some young guys who are going to compete hard and play the game hard.
We still want to win ballgames. We want to see what the rest of our team looks like going forward. How we compete in these final weeks will say a lot about our future.
Justin Upton, who recently turned 22 and earlier this summer earned his first trip to the All-Star Game, has been one of the Diamondbacks' most consistent and productive players this season, establishing personal-bests in nearly every offensive statistical category despite a strained right oblique injury that kept him out of action for 21 days in August.

Implementing IPv6 over MPLS
Implementing IPv6 over MPLS
Last Updated: June 21, 2012
Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is deployed by many service providers in their IPv4 networks. Service providers want to introduce IPv6 services to their customers, but changes to their existing IPv4 infrastructure can be expensive and the cost benefit for a small amount of IPv6 traffic does not make economic sense. Several integration scenarios have been developed to leverage an existing IPv4 MPLS infrastructure and add IPv6 services without requiring any changes to the network backbone. This document describes how to implement IPv6 over MPLS.

Prerequisites for Implementing IPv6 over MPLS
Information About Implementing IPv6 over MPLS
Benefits of Deploying IPv6 over MPLS Backbones
IPv6 over MPLS backbones enables isolated IPv6 domains to communicate with each other over an MPLS IPv4 core network. This implementation requires only a few backbone infrastructure upgrades and no reconfiguration of core routers because forwarding is based on labels rather than the IP header itself, providing a very cost-effective strategy for the deployment of IPv6.
Additionally, the inherent Virtual Private Network (VPN) and MPLS traffic engineering (MPLS-TE) services available within an MPLS environment allow IPv6 networks to be combined into IPv4 VPNs or extranets over an infrastructure supporting IPv4 VPNs and MPLS-TE.
IPv6 over a Circuit Transport over MPLS
Using any circuit transport for deploying IPv6 over MPLS networks has no impact on the operation or infrastructure of MPLS, and requires no configuration changes to the core or provider edge routers. Communication between the remote IPv6 domains runs native IPv6 protocols over a dedicated link, where the underlying mechanisms are fully transparent to IPv6. The IPv6 traffic is tunneled using the Any Transport over MPLS (MPLS/AToM) or Ethernet over MPLS (EoMPLS) feature with the routers connected through an ATM OC-3 or Ethernet interface, respectively.
The figure below shows the configuration for IPv6 over any circuit transport over MPLS.
IPv6 Using Tunnels on the Customer Edge Routers
Using tunnels on the customer edge (CE) routers is the simplest way of deploying IPv6 over MPLS networks with no impact on the operation or infrastructure of MPLS, and no configuration changes to the core or provider edge routers. Communication between the remote IPv6 domains uses standard tunneling mechanisms and requires the CE routers to be configured to run dual IPv4 and IPv6 protocol stacks. The figure below shows the configuration using tunnels on the CE routers.
Refer to Implementing Tunneling for IPv6 for configuration information on manually configured tunnels, automatic tunnels, and 6to4 tunnels.
Limitations on using tunnels involve the manual configuring of a mesh of tunnels on the CE routers, creating scaling issues for large networks.
IPv6 on the Provider Edge Routers (6PE)
The Cisco implementation of IPv6 provider edge router over MPLS is called 6PE, and it enables IPv6 sites to communicate with each other over an MPLS IPv4 core network using MPLS label switched paths (LSPs). This feature relies on multiprotocol Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) extensions in the IPv4 network configuration on the provider edge (PE) router to exchange IPv6 reachability information in addition to an MPLS label for each IPv6 address prefix to be advertised. Edge routers are configured to be dual stack running both IPv4 and IPv6, and use the IPv4 mapped IPv6 address for IPv6 prefix reachability exchange.
A hierarchy of labels is imposed on the 6PE ingress router to keep the IPv6 traffic transparent to all the core routers. The top label provides connectivity inside the IPv4 MPLS core network and the label is distributed by Label Distribution Protocol (LDP), Tag Distribution Protocol (TDP), or Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP). TDP and LDP can both be used for label distribution, but RSVP is used only in the context of MPLS-TE label exchange. The bottom label, automatically assigned to the IPv6 prefix of the destination, is distributed by multiprotocol BGP and used at each 6PE egress router for IPv6 forwarding.
In the figure below the 6PE routers are configured as dual stack routers able to route both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic. Each 6PE router is configured to run LDP, TDP, or RSVP (if traffic engineering is configured) to bind the IPv4 labels. The 6PE routers use multiprotocol BGP to exchange reachability information with the other 6PE devices within the MPLS domain, and to distribute aggregate IPv6 labels between them. All 6PE and core routers--P routers in Figure 3--within the MPLS domain share a common IPv4 Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) such as Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) or Integrated Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS).
The interfaces on the 6PE routers connecting to the CE router can be configured to forward IPv6 traffic, IPv4 traffic, or both types of traffic depending on the customer requirements. 6PE routers advertise IPv6 reachability information learned from their 6PE peers over the MPLS cloud. Service providers can delegate an IPv6 prefix from their registered IPv6 prefixes over the 6PE infrastructure; otherwise, there is no impact on the CE router.
The P routers in the core of the network are not aware that they are switching IPv6 packets. Core routers are configured to support MPLS and the same IPv4 IGP as the PE routers to establish internal reachability inside the MPLS cloud. Core routers also use LDP, TDP, or RSVP for binding IPv4 labels. Implementing the Cisco 6PE feature does not have any impact on the MPLS core devices.
Within the MPLS network, IPv6 traffic is forwarded using label switching, making the IPv6 traffic transparent to the core of the MPLS network. No IPv6 over IPv4 tunnels or Layer 2 encapsulation methods are required.
6PE Multipath
Internal and external BGP multipath for IPv6 allows the IPv6 router to load balance between several paths (for example, the same neighboring autonomous system or subautonomous system, or the same metric) to reach its destination. The 6PE multipath feature uses multiprotocol internal BGP (MP-iBGP) to distribute IPv6 routes over the MPLS IPv4 core network and to attach an MPLS label to each route.
When MP-iBGP multipath is enabled on the 6PE router, all labeled paths are installed in the forwarding table with MPLS information (label stack) when MPLS information is available. This functionality enables 6PE to perform load balancing.
How to Implement IPv6 over MPLS
Deploying IPv6 over a Circuit Transport over MPLS
To deploy IPv6 over a circuit transport over MPLS, the IPv6 routers must be configured for IPv6 connectivity. Refer to Implementing IPv6 Addressing and Basic Connectivity for details on basic IPv6 configuration. The MPLS router configuration requires AToM configuration or EoMPLS configuration.
Deploying IPv6 on the Provider Edge Routers (6PE)
Specifying the Source Address Interface on a 6PE Router
Two configuration tasks using the network shown in the figure below are required at the 6PE1 router to enable the 6PE feature.
The customer edge router--CE1 in the figure below--is configured to forward its IPv6 traffic to the 6PE1 router. The P1 router in the core of the network is assumed to be running MPLS, a label distribution protocol, an IPv4 IGP, and Cisco Express Forwarding or distributed Cisco Express Forwarding, and does not require any new configuration to enable the 6PE feature.
Before You BeginSUMMARY STEPS
Binding and Advertising the 6PE Label to Advertise Prefixes
Perform this task to enable the binding and advertising of aggregate labels when advertising IPv6 prefixes to a specified BGP neighbor.
{ip-address |
ipv6-address |
ipv6-address |
{ip-address |
{ip-address |
Configuring iBGP Multipath Load Sharing
Perform this task to configure iBGP multipath load sharing and control the maximum number of parallel iBGP routes that can be installed in a routing table.
Verifying 6PE Configuration and Operation
When 6PE is running, the following components can be monitored:
{unicast | multicast} [ipv6-prefix / prefix-length] [longer-prefixes] [labels
{unicast | multicast} neighbors
[ipv6-address] [received-routes | routes | flap-statistics | advertised-routes | paths regular-expression | dampened-routes
[network{mask| length}| labels label[- label] | interface interface| nexthop address| lsp-tunnel[tunnel-id]] [vrf vrf-name] [detail]
[ipv6-prefix / prefix-length] | [interface-type interface-number]
[longer-prefixes | similar-prefixes | detail | internal | platform | epoch | source]]
[ipv6-address | ipv6-prefix / prefix-length | protocol | interface-type interface-number

Configuration Examples for IPv6 over MPLS
The following examples show 6PE configuration examples for three of the routers shown in the figure above and used in the Specifying the Source Address Interface on a 6PE Router and Binding and Advertising the 6PE Label to Advertise Prefixes sections.
Example Customer Edge Router
This example shows that the serial interface 0/0 of the customer edge router--CE1 in the figure above--is connected to the service provider and is assigned an IPv6 address. IPv6 is enabled and a default static route is installed using the IPv6 address of serial interface 0/0 of the 6PE1 router.
ip cef ! ipv6 unicast-routing ! interface Serial 0/0 description to_6PE1_router no ip address ipv6 address 2001:DB8:FFFF::2/64 ! ipv6 route ::/0 Serial 0/0 FE80::210:XXXX:FEE1:1001
Example Provider Edge Router
The 6PE router--Router 6PE1 in the figure above--is configured for both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic. Ethernet interface 0/0 is configured with an IPv4 address and is connected to a router in the core of the network--router P1 in the figure above. Integrated IS-IS and TDP configurations on this router are similar to the P1 router.
Router 6PE1 exchanges IPv6 routing information with another 6PE router--Router 6PE2 in the figure above-- using internal BGP (iBGP) established over an IPv4 connection so that all the neighbor commands use the IPv4 address of the 6PE2 router. All the BGP peers are within autonomous system 65000, so synchronization with IGP is turned off for IPv4. In IPv6 address family configuration mode, synchronization is disabled by default.
IPv6 and Cisco Express Forwarding for IPv6 are enabled, the 6PE2 neighbor is activated, and aggregate label binding and advertisement is enabled for IPv6 prefixes using the neighbor send-label command. Connected and static IPV6 routes are redistributed using BGP. If IPv6 packets are generated in the local router, the IPv6 address for MPLS processing will be the address of loopback interface 0.
This example shows that the serial interface 0/0 connects to the customer and the IPv6 prefix delegated to the customer is 2001:DB8:ffff::/48, which is determined from the service provider IPv6 prefix. A static route is configured to route IPv6 packets between the 6PE route and the CE router.

Example Core Router
This example shows that the router in the core of the network--Router P in the figure above--is running MPLS, IS-IS, and IPv4 only. The Ethernet interfaces are configured with IPv4 address and are connected to the 6PE routers. IS-IS is the IGP for this network and the P1 and 6PE routers are in the same IS-IS area 49.0001. TDP and tag switching are enabled on both the Ethernet interfaces. Cisco Express Forwarding is enabled in global configuration mode.
ip cef ! tag-switching tdp router-id Loopback0 ! interface Loopback0 ip address 192.168.99.200 255.255.255.255 ! interface Ethernet0/0 description to_6PE1 ip address 192.168.99.2 255.255.255.252 ip router isis tag-switching ip ! interface Ethernet0/1 description to_6PE2 ip address 192.168.99.66 255.255.255.252 ip router isis tag-switching ip router isis passive-interface Loopback0 net 49.0001.1921.6809.9200.00

(CBS News) Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, who survived last week's recall election, said presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney won't beat President Obama unless he offers "bold" ideas.
"I don't think we win if it's just about a referendum on Barack Obama," Walker said on "Face the Nation." "I think people like [Wisconsin Rep.] Paul Ryan and others hope that he goes big and bold." Walker said, referring to Romney.
Walker also offered advice for Romney, saying that "Governor Romney has a shot if the 'R' doesn't stand for Republican, but reformer," Walker said.
However, the Wisconsin governor disagreed with a recent statement made by presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney that Wisconsin voters opposed to "big government" reject the hiring of more teachers, police officers and firefighters.
"I know in my state our reform allowed us to protect firefighters, police officers and teachers; that's not what I think when I think of big government," said Walker on "Face the Nation."Walker was responding to a statement Romney made on Friday, in which the GOP presidential challenger said President Obama "wants to add more to government. He wants another stimulus, he wants to hire more government workers. He says we need more firemen, more policeman, more teachers. Did he not get the message of Wisconsin?"
Romney's statement came after the president - responding to the rise in the nation's unemployment figures for May - said that public sector workers were particularly hit hard due to job losses from state budget cuts compared to job gains seen in the private sector.
"I think in the end a big issue is that the private sector still needs more help. The answer is not more big government," Walker said.
"The president and his allies believe success in government is defined by how many people are dependent on government programs," Walker said. Republicans "believe that success [is] just the opposite. How many fewer people are dependent on government programs because they have a job in the private sector where they can control their own freedom?"
The Republican governor had faced a recall election after cutting some public sector workers' pensions and eliminating collective bargaining rights for most public workers' unions.
After a contentious and expensive campaign, Walker defeated his Democratic challenger, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett.
When host Bob Schieffer pressed Walker about Romney's statement, asking if he agreed with the former Mass. governor about the message of the Wisconsin recall results, he replied, "Well, I think it's slightly different. In our case what they wanted [was] people to take on the tough issues."

Vienna, 10 December 2010 – "Freedom of religion is a basic human right. The latest attack on the Christian minority in Iraq is a particularly abhorrent example of the worldwide increase in violence and discrimination against religious minorities, which ought not to be ignored", stated Foreign Minister Michael Spindelegger to mark International Human Rights Day on 10 December.
"Freedom of religion must occupy a central place in the European Union. I have therefore supported an initiative for the protection of freedom of religion and religious minorities at the European level and will also raise the subject at the next EU meeting of foreign ministers on 13 December", said Spindelegger, emphasising Austria's international commitment to strengthening human rights. "I shall support the idea that the new EU Foreign Service should also observe the situation of freedom of religion worldwide, submit a regular report and present it to the EU foreign ministers", he added.
Strengthening human rights has been one of Austria's priorities During Austria's two-year membership of the UN Security Council, which will come to an end at the turn of the year. "We have succeeded in integrating our priorities in the human rights sector into the work of the Security Council. According to the Foreign Minister the High Commissioner for Human Rights, for instance, was invited for the first time to address the highest body within the UN at Austria's initiative. The fight against sexual violence, the protection of civilians in armed conflict, the strengthening of the role of women in conflict situations and of the rule of law have been among Austria's further priorities.
Austria is currently running for a seat on the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva. "We want to continue pursuing our priorities in the future. Our candidacy for a seat on the Human Rights Council should also be seen in this context", stated Spindelegger. "The commitment to human rights is a moral and legal obligation. I am confident that Austria, if we are elected and become a member of the Human Rights Council, can continue its active role within the UN as a member of the most important body for the protection and promotion of human rights", concluded Spindelegger.

LONDON -- It was difficult to know what to expect when Andy Murray took to the bright blue courts at the O2 Arena to kick off the singles competition at the ATP World Tour Finals. This was, of course, his first match in London since he backed up gold at the Olympics with his first Slam title at the U.S. Open a few weeks later. He's come back to London as Murray the Ghostbuster, the man who finally let Fred Perry -- the last British man to win a Slam in 1936 -- to rest in peace and not be marched out every time Murray took the court.
After a summer that saw the raucous Olympic crowds in London, you would think that the feel-good ethos of being loud and proud for your hometown athletes would rub off on the British tennis public. This was the guy they spent the summer cheering for -- they were cheering for him, right? -- and this was their chance to welcome him home. But the crowd, though vocal, was no louder than it was last year as Murray emerged from the smoky tunnel to polite applause. The relatively lukewarm response even surprised his first round opponent, Tomas Berdych.
"I was maybe expecting more. But as I said yesterday, you know, the crowd here is just great. It's just a great showdown of the tennis."
Regardless of whether the roar broke any decibel meters, the reception clearly meant a lot to Murray. He seemed to stifle a shy grin as he bowed his head and waved to the crowd. The support of the British public that he says buoyed his success after Wimbledon still resonated.
"The noise and the atmosphere at the beginning of the match was great," Murray said. "Like I say, at this stage of the year, that does help to give you a little boost, you know, rather than coming out playing flat."
Murray came firing out of the gate and looked to be the man with the clearer purpose. Still, there would be no sitting back and trying to out-rally Berdych from the baseline. Murray took the initiative early, stepping into his forehand and it was the big-hitting Berdych who was content pushing balls back. But his ability to get deep into Berdych's service games were for naught. Murray had seven break points in the first set and couldn't convert a single one, and as his frustration mounted, his focus waned and Berdych took the first set 6-3.
But Murray flipped the script in the second set. This time he was the one under immediate pressure and forced to save break points, which he did. Berdych would go 0 for 3 on break points in the second set and Murray tightened up his game, storming back to take the second set 6-3 and then cruising in the third set to win 3-6, 6-3, 6-4.
As great as his last few months have been, Murray needs a strong showing here in London. For all the talk of Murray now inhabiting that elite space alongside Novak, Roger and Rafa thanks to his New York triumph, Murray is still the weak link of that Fab Four because he hasn't proven reliable outside of the Slams this year. This is a guy who can beat Roger Federer on grass one week and lose to Jeremy Chardy or Milos Raonic the next. It could be that Murray has somehow evolved solely into a big stage player, which isn't a bad thing. But I'm pretty playing the World Tour Finals in your hometown after your maiden Slam title counts as a big stage. Failure to get out of the group stage would be disappointing.
Murray's win sets up a possible second round match against Djokovic on Wednesday. They've played some memorable matches this year, but Murray says the only thing he knows for sure about their matchups is that they're going to hurt. A lot.
"Both of us are good retrievers, so often the points will go on a lot," Murray said. Sometimes you maybe feel like you need to win that point two or three times, which is tough and can b a bit tiring. But, I mean, we've played each other enough to know what to expect. We do practice with eaach other quite a lot too. But it's never quite the same as the matches, that's for sure."
A few other thoughts on the World Tour Finals:
Group A is the one to watch: With three of the four semifinalists of the last Slam of the season drawn together, each round-robin match in this group is a must-watch. You have to like Novak's chances to get out of this group given his consistency. That said, his curious loss to Sam Querrey last week in Paris and having his father (who is recuperating in a hospital in Serbia after suffering an acute respiratory illness) on his mind leaves enough room for doubt.
Player of the Year on the line: The top ranking may be off the table, but bragging rights for the ATP's unofficial Player of the Year are still very much in play. We've already seen it on the women's side, with Victoria Azarenka finishing at No. 1 but Serena Williams racking up the titles and wins that matter and sitting at No. 3. If Djokovic can come through to win his first Tour Final since 2008, he'll end his season with the perfect coda: a Slam title and five Tour titles to go with it. For Federer, a win would create a Serena-like debate, as he would own a Slam title, Olympic silver medal, and seven titles on the year, but be ranked behind Djokovic. As for Murray, could his first World Tour Finals title put him in the PoY conversation? Sure, but it depends on who he beats to do it. Knock off Djokovic (possibly twice) and Federer, and it's not a ludicrous debate.Spoiler alert:

Chen delivers smooth effort against White Sox
KANSAS CITY -- Like well-aged wine, left-hander Bruce Chen was vintage stuff in his first start on Saturday in what became a 4-3 win over the White Sox.
"That's the Bruce Chen we've always known," first baseman Eric Hosmer said. "That's the way he's been. He gets guys frustrated out there and hits his spots all the time, mixes speeds up and he's pounding strikes. When you're a pitcher with no walks and you have our defense out there, you're going to have good days."
Chen not only had no walks, but he struck out seven in his 6 1/3 innings.
"He was great. He just pitched," manager Ned Yost said. "Changed speeds, his 87-mph fastball looked like it was 98 because he used it right and his changeup was great."
The White Sox even used Dayan Viciedo in the No. 3 lineup spot because he'd been 10-for-29 with three homers against Chen. But Chen held him to a single in three at-bats with a strikeout and a popup.
"He just does what Bruce does. It's just amazing that at this point in his career, he's as productive as he is," Yost said. "It's a tremendous work ethic, a lot of homework that he does."
Moose, Aoki get breather from starting lineup
KANSAS CITY -- Third baseman Mike Moustakas, 0-for-15 in the Royals' first four games, got a break from the starting lineup on Sunday, but manager Ned Yost expressed confidence he'll get in gear soon.
Yost used Danny Valencia, a right-handed hitter, at third base against White Sox left-hander Chris Sale, and also had righty Justin Maxwell in right field to replace another left-handed batter, Nori Aoki.
"Does Nori need a day today? No. Nori handles lefties well," Yost said. "Moose could use a day off, especially against a guy like Sale, but Nori doesn't need one. The thing is just to try to pick spots to get Danny in there and Maxie in there."
Yost figures to have trouble creating playing time for his bench players.
"It's tougher on our team," he said. "Some teams, like Detroit, have got kind of platoon situations that keep their bench involved. We don't have that. All of our guys are just about everyday players so it's hard to keep your bench guys going."
Maxwell was used to replace Aoki in right instead of left fielder Alex Gordon "because that's where he's more natural," Yost said. "and because Gordy's got history against Sale."
Despite Moustakas' slow start, Yost is not discouraged.
"Moose hit .450 in Spring Training, led all of baseball in RBIs. That's more of the hitter he is," Yost said. "I mean, he's not a .450 hitter, but he hit lefties, he hit righties, and he's seeing pitches which is key. He'll get his hits."
Moustakas, the skipper noted, has become much more selective in swinging at pitches.
"In his best year, he saw like 3.6 pitches per at-bat. He's seeing over five pitches per at-bat now," Yost said. "That big walk that he had yesterday -- that run-scoring walk -- he wouldn't have taken that walk last year. So, he's definitely making improvements."
Although Moustakas this year is making a concentrated effort to hit the ball to all fields, so far opposing teams are shifting their defenses and playing him like an extreme pull hitter.
"Until he proves that he can go the opposite way like he did so well in Spring Training, they're going to continue to shift. They have more of a track record on him, more at-bats under his belt, for them to make that kind of a move," Yost said. "It does get into your head a little bit, but I think it's more playing the percentages off the data they have in his past."
It'll be a relief when Moustakas does break out.
"He just needs to get that first hit to get going," Yost said. "He's pressing a little bit, but not nearly as much as he did on any occasion last year. He's going to be OK."
Ventura lightens mood with bullpen session
KANSAS CITY -- While Royals setup man Wade Davis was struggling through the eighth inning against the White Sox on Saturday, Kauffman Stadium fans saw hot prospect Yordano Ventura throwing in the bullpen.
Was he warming up for a possible relief role? Not quite. Ventura was merely told to do a light side session in preparation for his scheduled starting assignment on Tuesday night against the Rays.
Unintentionally, Ventura's workout did accomplish something for Royals manager Ned Yost.
"When Ventura was throwing," Yost said, smiling, "at least somebody was up so the 25 fans that sit behind the dugout screaming at me all the time: 'Get somebody up!' -- I didn't have to hear 'em."
Yost isn't worried about Royals' lack of homers
KANSAS CITY -- The Royals' next home run will be their first of the season.
They've gone through their first five games without a home run. That's a franchise record for the most games at the start of a season without a blast. And the Royals are the only team in the Majors without a homer.
Among other things, of course, the Royals have had to contend with stellar pitchers the likes of Justin Verlander, Max Scherzer and Chris Sale in three of those five games.
"Not a bit," manager Ned Yost said. "We play in a big park. Our goal coming in here against Chicago was to win the series. I would have loved to have swept, but we accomplished our goal by winning the series and now we move on."
Last season, the Royals had the fewest home runs in the American League, 112, exactly 100 less than the Orioles' Major League high of 212.

Microcontroller vendors seem to announce a new low-power product on a regular basis. In fact, almost all of the MCUs launched these days are dubbed low power in some way. This may not always be true, since there's some window dressing and specmanship to make products appear better than reality.
The devil is in the details. More often than not engineers will discover what the product can really do while testing it in their application, after spinning the board and writing the code. But all the information is usually available. By looking carefully at the electrical parameters in the datasheet the clever designer can analyze beforehand the device's real behavior and anticipate if a particular microcontroller is truly low power and fits his or her application.
The first number that clever marketing people will massage is active power, which answers the question, "How low am I when the CPU is running?" and is expressed in mA/MHz or muA/MHz. The lower the number the better. It should give an accurate view of how much power the device will sink while in operation. As a designer, however, you shouldn't follow the advertised number blindly, but rather dive into the datasheet and check the note that gives the test conditions. Invariably, this is an ideal case, with limited relevance to the real world. It typically is a simple test of the CPU only, with no peripheral operating, and the CPU doing operations going from NOP instruction to calculations or benchmarks. Vendors even describe it as a while loop, which means the CPU is not even fetching data from the flash, a misleading way to measure the CPU power.
Most vendors will provide the information about the power with peripherals on, with various degrees of operation. Some give details about the power of each peripheral, while some describe typical operations with several peripherals on. These are the numbers that will give you a better idea of what to expect in your application.
There's another way the active power can be misrepresented. The typical MCU has a power consumption that's not a linear function of the frequency, but rather an affine function. There are some techniques to make the curve stick closer to the ideal one at low frequencies, but there is always a gap.
Some people will calculate the active power in muA/MHz only for the highest frequency, the most favorable case. You should look at and calculate the active power per MHz at each frequency, especially the one you target.
Low-Power Mode
While each vendor has his own nicknames for the low power modes, there are few variants functionally. Dubbed halt, stop, standby, low power, sleep, etc., the modes typically fall into four categories, each with a power associated with it, and also a wake-up time and a wake-up mode. Table 1 summarizes these typical modes.
Of course, there are variants of these modes, but this is a good summary. Some of the lowest power devices don't implement the mode "unpowered" or "RTC only," because they are very efficient and these modes would bring no benefit. To be clear, while "CPU stopped" can be useful for power optimization while running, and "RTC only" can be used if keeping time is mandatory (and you have serious battery limitation), the low-power mode that will bring the most benefit is "frozen in time."

"The album sounds like classic Jennings, with a voice that's sometimes a little rough, a little ragged, but never false."NPR
"Raw songs delivered in a weary but still magnificent baritone."Rolling Stone
"There never was an artist like Waylon Jennings. It's such a joy to hear his honest voice, his integrity, and his quintessential badassness on this new record."Rosanne Cash
"He left behind one of country music's most important legacies
. He was a voracious listener who wasn't afraid to incorporate folk or rock or pop into his voluminous repertoire. His unwillingness to bend to the will of record labels in Nashville was country music's highest paying gamble. He held out for a better contract, then turned around and released Wanted: The Outlaws, the first platinum-selling country album. Albums like Honky Tonk Heroes and Lonesome, On'ry and Mean helped redefine country music, moving it from regional art form to pop culture phenomenon."APWorldstream

Closing thread was not appropriate
4v50Gary closed a thread (How do I sell my muzzle loader) on the Black Powder forum because the OP didn't have enough posts to advertise.
I take exception to that action. The OP was not advertising his gun on the forum. He asked a question about how to sell a black powder rifle, which, in my opinion, was a perfectly legitimate question. Closing the thread prevented me from providing him with two solutions to his problem - a store in his area that trades in used bp guns, and an auction house that does quarterly gun auctions which include bp guns.
I will answer his question using a PM. However, I really think you need to reconsider whether or not the thread should have been closed.

At first the post in question didn't quite fit the bill...
...until his next post. The tone of language in the post as a whole leads me to believe it was a thinly veiled posting for sale. It's a tough call. Staff made the right decision.
I understand your concern on being able to provide solutions to the OP. I can also understand it appears the action taken by Staff is counterproductive to the spirit of why TFL is here. But make no mistake. Things aren't always a black and white scenario and we don't just go willy nilly on making judgment calls.
If it were up to me, the word "got" would be deleted from the English language.

hello. i didn't mean to break any rules. i really was just inquiring about how to sell it. i didn't realize that following up with the other poster would cause my thread to close. i am not offended. thanks mykel for helping me out in that pm. i was not intending to find a person to buy it on this site, i just felt it fortunate that someone was interested. i will make sure to avoid it in the future. its tough being the new guy

Offering to post a picture did advance the thread towards an advertisement, and it was thus time to step in.
It would have been more appropriate to remind him, either via a PM or directly in the thread, that he did not yet qualify to advertise his gun on the forum, while leaving the thread open so that members could advise him on venues catering to the sale of muzzleloaders.
Closing the thread immediately was not yet called for. In my opinion.
I don't wish to be argumentative, and so I'll withdraw at this point. You've made your reasoning known and while I still disagree, I appreciate your quick and thoughtful responses. Very rarely does the TFL staff do anything I feel is uncalled for, so this surprised me and I wanted to understand it better. That's been accomplished. Thank you.

mykeal - I do understand your point and in one respect I agree with you, but in the broader reality of moderating here, I also agree with the closing of the thread in question. Members attempting to sell outside of the Gun Show forums, while not a huge problem, is a big enough concern to us to squelch them when we see them. Trust me, you don't see 1 tenth of what goes on in that respect.
I honestly do not think Wadesauce started his thread with the intention of taking offers on his gun, but it did turn into a for-sale as soon as he said "if your [sic] interested." To prevent any further steps down that particular path, the proper thing to do was to close the thread. Merely saying "please don't do that" either publicly or privately and leaving the thread open rarely works for long. It's the age-old cat out of the bag, horse & barn thing.
Wadesauce - your post above is one of a stand-up member, and we thank you for your understanding. Since you are new to TFL, the "culture" of this forum is also new to you. You'll find that TFL is not just your average gun enthusiast site. I know mykeal has sent you some of the information you were seeking, but you are welcome to re-post your request for information now that you know where not to go with it.

The opposite is also possible, of course.
We know that magical people are considerably longer lived and are harder to kill. It's also possible that they are somehow more resistent to cancer. Somehow, their cells are healthier, less likely to develop cancerous mutations, something.
So your character might be a rare case of cancer in the wizarding world, which would increase the stress of everyone involved since it's even less common then in the Muggle world. This would also force a reliance on more Muggle style or experimental techniques, since they have less experience with cancer.
