Grenoble, France
Nestled at the foot of the French Alps
Just where the rivers Drac and Isere come together, beautiful Grenoble is a true alpine capital, where the only way is up. Today, it's a booming science centre, as much known for its technical expertise as its winter snow – from semiconductors and nuclear energy to nanotechnology.
Destination overview
|Time zone:
|GMT +1 (GMT +2 in summer)
|Flight Time:
|2 hours
|Holiday type:
|Average maximum temperature: 10.9░C (24 hour average)
Rainfall: 974.9mm a year
Must see:
The world's first urban cable car – the Grenoble-Bastille cable car, to be precise – is locally known as 'les bulles'. Take a trip in the egg-shaped bubbles for a stunning view of the Isere, and a bite to eat at the top.
Must eat at:
Le 18.36 on Rue Abbe de la Salle is a brasserie with a difference, serving up its own unique brand of inventive cuisine – but check before you turn up, as some of its opening hours can be idiosyncratic!
Must be there for:
The city's legendary Jazz festival, held every March, neatly coincides with the end of the ski season. Pop over for gig or two and you can take in a black run (or nursery slope) at the same time.
Well-travelled tips:
• If you like mountain ascents, try the Via Ferrata – a locally famous route on the Bastille hill.
• If you can't make the Jazz festival in March but still fancy a bit of local culture, check out the short film festival held in the open every July.
British citizens do not need a visa to visit Grenoble.

A man caught with more than 45,000 images and 1600 videos of child pornography on his computer told police he had no sexual interest in children, a court heard today.
Bernd Schnull, 62, of Warranwood, claimed watching child pornography helped to relieve his stress and anxiety over the problems he was having with his wife at home.
Schnull would download the images in his study where you needed an access code to get into the room. He would come home from work and go straight on to his computer.
Schnull pleaded guilty in the County Court on Tuesday to one count of accessing child pornography and one count of possession of child pornography involving children aged from six months to 16.
He faces a maximum penalty of 15 years' jail.
Prosecutor Samantha Holmes told the court Schnull had downloaded a total of 45,287 images and 1611 videos between August 8, 2011, and March 20, 2012.
The police measure child pornography on a scale, with level five being the worst. Schnull had nearly 200 images in the level 5 category.
Schnull was arrested during a joint state and federal police operation aimed at smashing a child pornography ring operating on Australia's eastern seaboard.
He was one of 16 men arrested after police raided 19 properties in Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland and the ACT.
But defence barrister Sandy Robertson said Schnull had been acting alone and did not take part in any chat rooms on child pornography or share any files.
Mr Robertson said Schnull sought psychological treatment after his arrest to try to understand his offending.
He said Schnull claimed to have stumbled across the child pornography and was "caught in a web of depraved vile images".
Schnull knew what he was doing was illegal but watching child porn helped to ease his boredom at home and the lack of intimacy with his wife.
Judge Mark Gamble, who briefly adjourned the plea hearing after being asked by the prosecutor to view a sample of 40 images taken from Schnull's computer, said sexual stimulation must have played a role in Schnull's offending.
Judge Gamble said Schnull had gone to a great deal of trouble to download the images, including securing his study so others could not get in.
Mr Robertson said it was difficult for Schnull to explain but he had been attracted by the novelty of the images and was driven by curiosity.
Downloading thousands of images became a compulsive habit.
Mr Robertson conceded there must have been an element of sexual stimulation for Schnull otherwise he wouldn't have bothered.
Since undergoing therapy in August last year, Schnull, who had had little empathy for the victims, was now ashamed and remorseful and realised his actions had helped feed the market for child pornography.
A psychological report indicated Schnull did not fit the profile of a repeat sexual offender and was unlikely to reoffend.
In his letter of apology read to the court, Schnull said he felt revulsion for what he had done and realised he needed help.
Ms Holmes said Schnull, a father of four, should be jailed for at least 18 months and placed on the sexual offenders register for 15 years given the seriousness of the offending and nature and amount of material seized.
Judge Gamble will sentence Schnull on February 13.

The first thing that strikes you about Zipvit's ZV7 is its size. At 60g, it's a big thick sausage of a gel - almost double the size of some other gels available.
But we all know size isn't everything, so what's this gel got inside? Within the 60g, carb makes up 51g, providing 200kcal of energy. The source of the carb is maltodextrin, presumably maize derived (as the gel is gluten free). Other key ingredients include sucrose and glucose syrup. Also in the mix is potassium and sodium to replace electrolytes lost in sweat.
The texture of the gel is on the 'thick' side compared to competitor products. This means there's no danger of liquid spilling when you bite off the top of the sachet on the move, but it does take a few seconds longer to swallow.
I'm testing banana flavour, which tastes fine (though not like real bananas; it's more like, well, banana favouring). Other options are blackcurrant and orange. The flavouring is natural, rather than artificial. Zipvit says this reduces the bloating and other stomach discomfort that some riders get from eating gels.
Having used these gel (along with bars and energy drink) on some long sportives and 100-mile training trips and can confirm there's no belly ache. More important, they've powered me along very nicely.
The only possible issue is the aforementioned size. For some riders, 60g of fairly thick gel is simply too much to take in one go. Other riders will love getting an hour's worth of carb in one hit. This is a matter of personal choice.
As well as finding the ZV7s work for me, I've also given a few to a friend who's recently taken up cycling. With a couple of these gels she did the longest ride of her life so far - 80 miles - in the same time it usually takes to do about 60.
Of course, it's not ZV7s alone that work these miracles (any energy food helps when all you've had before is sarnies and chocolate bars, and there's the small matter of rapidly increasing fitness when you start from a low base) but whatever level of cycling you're at, there's no doubt that gels make riding your bike easier and more enjoyable, and the ZV7s are well worth a try.
A single 60g ZV7 retails for about £1.50 - and you can get boxes of 24 for around £30 to £35 from the on-line stores.
Tasty gel supplying a large amount of energy - although it might be too much in one go for some riders.

The Zipvit UK website says the ZV7 is 'a great tasting advanced energy gel that is rapidly becoming the athlete's choice for road racing, time trials, mountain biking, triathlon and running... scientifically formulated for rapid energy delivery ... increases power and endurance, helps maintain hydration'.
I'd agree with the claims on taste and increased power/endurance. But I'm not so sure if these gels help maintain hydration. For that, you need an isotonic product, or - er - a drink.

How To Share iPad Calendars
You can sync iPad calendar appointments from Yahoo! and Google with your iPad calendar. Using iTunes, you can also sync your computer's Outlook or iCal calendar with your iPad calendar.
Syncing a Yahoo! or Google calendar allows you to read those appointments on your iPad, but not change them. To do that, you'll need to log onto the calendar online and make the changes.
1Tap the Settings icon on the Home screen.
The Settings options appear.
2Tap Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
The Mail, Contacts, and Calendar options appear on the right.
4Tap an e-mail choice, such as Gmail or Yahoo!
A dialog appears. Enter your name, e-mail address, and e-mail account password.
5Tap Save.
iPad verifies your address. Your iPad retrieves data from your calendar at the interval you have set to fetch data.
6To review these settings, tap the Fetch New Data option in the Mail, Contacts, Calendars dialog.
The Fetch New Data dialog appears.
7If needed, tap the Push option to turn it On.
Choose the frequency at which you want data pushed to your iPad.
If you use Microsoft Outlook's calendar or iCal on your main computer, you can sync it to your iPad calendar to avoid having to reenter event information.
To do this, connect your iPad to your computer with the Dock Connector to USB Cable and use settings in your iTunes account to sync with calendars. Tap the Sync button and your calendar settings will be shared between your computer and iPad (in both directions).
You can also have calendar events sent if you subscribe to a push service such as MobileMe. It can sync calendars from multiple e-mail accounts with your iPad calendar. If you choose to have data pushed to your iPad more frequently, your battery may drain a bit faster.

Hooray for the Town Clerk. No, not the one in Ohio who just sent you a certified copy of your great grandfather's birth record. Hooray for David Turner Shaw (1764-1856), Town Clerk of Bath, Maine. He became Town Clerk in 1803 and served for more than forty years. Town Clerks are a devoted, meticulous bunch of people. They are committed to accuracy and correctness. And for this I will be forever grateful.
In May 2005, I posted a message to the Shaw surname board on Ancestry.com looking for information about my ancestor, David Turner Shaw. David was one of ten children, most of whom were born in Massachusetts. David and two of his siblings were born after their parents migrated to Bath, Maine. I had little proof of the connection between the Massachusetts and Maine born children.
In August 2009, four years after my original post, I received notification of a response from Ancestry.com. It came from Ann Raymond of the Monmouth Museum in Monmouth, Maine. The message said she had a handwritten account of the family history written in 1843 by David Turner Shaw himself.
I contacted Ann and she mailed me a photocopy of the family history right away. True to his Town Clerk calling, Shaw wrote a detailed, three page history of his family. In the document he honestly revealed which information was accurate and which was to his best recollection. The document gave me the link I needed to prove that he was part of the same Massachusetts family. If you haven't tried surname message boards maybe now is the time. If you are patient they might just deliver for you too.

How well do you know the Code? Think you can spot violations the original installer either ignored or couldn't identify? Here's your chance to moonlight as an electrical inspector and second-guess someone else's work from the safety of your living room or office. Joe Tedesco, who has a knack for finding shoddy electrical work, did the dirty work and found this mess. Now it's your turn to identify the violation.
Find the Answer
This walkway lighting system must have been installed by someone who was not familiar with the accepted methods used in the electrical industry. Open nonmetallic conduit of this type with energized and exposed supply conductors shows no knowledge of electrical safety or Code requirements.
Underground sections of conduit buried to proper depths (according to 300.5) and extended into the bottom of the pole (where the splices will be accessible) would have been the proper way to supply this lighting unit. See 410.30(B) for a list of the six requirements that must be met when installing metal poles to support luminaires (i.e., lighting fixtures) and serve as a raceway to enclose supply conductors.

- Read This, Spike That
What the Ukraine Crisis Means for U.S. Stocks?
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
The major U.S. stock indexes were off by a bit less than a percentage point Monday following reports that Russian troops were in the midst of taking control of parts of the Ukraine most friendly to Russia.
Though the news of a potential military conflict has led to a spike in the price of oil, and punished the Russian ruble as well as many publicly traded Russian stocks, U.S. markets have thus far escaped much of the fallout from the growing tensions in the region.
The question for U.S. investors is whether the crisis will escalate -- leading to a further drop in U.S. stocks and perhaps a long-awaited correction -- or instead will subside because of a diplomatic solution brokered by outsiders.
Right now, the honest answer seems to be that no one is sure.
Writing for Fortune magazine, Mohamed El-Erian, the outgoing chief executive officer of Pimco, points out that while Ukraine is only a tiny part of the global economy, the political fallout is far from contained and could potentially deepen the pain for U.S. investors.
"Absent overwhelming outside military intervention (whose outcomes would be far from certain, and its chaos would be considerable and inevitable), it is hard to argue that any single side is in a position to prevail decisively in the next few weeks," writes El-Erian.
"Russia does not have sufficient influence with enough of Ukraine to pull the whole country back into its orbit; and it cannot do so by force. For their part, the European Union and the United States do not have the means to decisively pull all of Ukraine the other way. And the reality of these external anchors means that a partly fragmented Ukrainian society is unlikely to resolve the tensions internally any time soon."
Meanwhile, a round-up of opinions on Wall Street by Fortune's sister website, CNNMoney suggests that the crisis in Ukraine could be resolved without inflicting much more harm on U.S. stocks.
The article quotes John De Clue, international investment strategist at U.S. Bank Wealth Management of Minneapolis, who concedes that geopolitical risks could weigh on stocks in the short-term. but said that "it's hard to construct a scenario for trouble."
Let's hope he's right. But can De Clue, sitting in the office in the middle of America, be viewed as an appropriate handicapper of a geopolitical crisis on the other side of the globe?
The opinions of U.S.-based investment professionals must be taken with a grain of salt.
I'll close this discussion of the Ukraine crisis with a Seeking Alpha piece by Eric Parnell, a principal with Gerring Capital Management. Parnell compares the current crisis to the way the U.S. stock market reacted to another crisis in that part of the way – a skirmish between Russia and Georgia in August of 2008 over some disputed territory.
Seeking Alpha
"Given some of the similarities between these two episodes, it is worthwhile to examine exactly how the U.S. stock market reacted as these events unfolded," Parnell writes.
His analysis reveals that in the case of the 2008 incident, the S&P 500 fell almost 2% on the first day of the conflict, but then quickly recovered in subsequent days. He adds that "whether the situation in Ukraine has any lasting downside effects on markets remains to be seen.
If it turns out that the conflict remains isolated to the Crimean peninsula," Parnell continues, "any negative U.S. stock market reaction is likely to be fleeting. Even if the situation spreads to some of the regions in eastern Ukraine that are more heavily populated by Russians, the U.S. stock market is still likely to take things generally in stride with some understandable volatility along the way. This will be particularly true if the situation draws to a quick conclusion just as it did in Georgia back in August 2008."
Meanwhile, website Daily Beast has weighed in with a critical story on shares of Tesla (TSLA), the electric car marker and one of the most awe-inspiring stocks to trade in years.
As Daily Beast columnist Daniel Gross points out, Tesla's stock has soared more than seven-fold, from about $35 in late February 2013 to about $250 this week, giving it a market capitalization of $31.1 billion, compared with $58 billion for General Motors and about $60 billion for Ford.
"I'm far from a Tesla hater," Gross writes "I've championed the company as an archetype of American-style innovation, self-belief, and swagger."
But Gross goes on to argue that Tesla is "getting bubbly. And we could be entering dangerous territory."
I'll close this column with some reaction to a widely-read document that comes out each year around this time – Warren Buffett's annual letter to the shareholders of Berkshire Hathaway ( BRKA, BRKB ), the investment-holding company he founded and still oversees.
Writing for his blog, Reformed Broker, Joshua Brown discusses what he views as being the most salient kernels of wisdom in the letter.
Among them: "pride is not the same thing as arrogance" and it's perfectly fine to own shares of a great company even if one can't control those shares.
He quotes Buffett who writes that "at Berkshire, we much prefer owning a noncontrolling but substantial portion of a wonderful company to owning 100% of a so-so business; it's better to have a partial interest in the Hope diamond than to own all of a rhinestone."

Talking Heads
- David Byrne
- Tina Weymouth
- Chris Frantz
- Jerry Harrison
Artsy and experimental, Talking Heads created an oeuvre of funky New Wave hits.
Talking Heads' music is abuzz with nervous energy. Their blend of funk, minimalism and polyrhythmic world beats articulated the strangeness and anxiety of modern times.
Among the most adventuresome bands in rock history, the Talking Heads drew from funk, minimalism and African and Brazilian music in promulgating a new sound that was both visionary and visceral.
They were invariably challenging and inventive, using infectious rhythms as a form of sorcery to introduce their ever-expanding audience to exotic influences from abroad that they might otherwise have never heard. In so doing, they helped pave the way—along with the likes of Peter Gabriel and Brian Eno—for the "world music" phenomenon of the Eighties and beyond. They also created a body of highly original work, crowned by such albums as Fear of Music (1979) and Remain in Light (1980), that didn't so much appropriate its sources as transmute them into something that felt startlingly new and improbably accessible.
The Talking Heads emerged from the same New York scene that produced the Ramones, Blondie, Television and countless other bands. Yet whereas the Ramones were street-level and direct, Talking Heads were arty and abstract. Their influences went beyond rock music to include avant-garde composers like Phillip Glass, painters such as Jasper Johns, postmodern choreographers like Merce Cunningham and Twyla Tharp, and such contemporary poets as Amira Baraka. Nonetheless, they shared a do-it-yourself aesthetic in common with their musical peers on the Lower East Side.
What set Talking Heads apart was pedigree. The four group members were no scuffling punks. All were college-educated art students: Tina Weymouth and Chris Frantz graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design, Jerry Harrison was a Harvard graduate and Byrne attended art schools in Rhode Island and Maryland. Their songs might begin with fragments that emerged from spontaneous jams, but they were subsequently pieced together using stratagems more commonly employed by artists than musicians. Weymouth has compared the Talking Heads' approach to abstract painting, "where the first color or line or form you put on canvas suggests what you do next." At the same time, she noted, "there's a lot of freedom allowed for other things to happen." This tension between discipline and spontaneity, along with the visual and vocal tics of David Byrne, helped give Talking Heads' music its jittery but playful and ever-surprising aura. Byrne's voice was an extension of his angular, gawky persona; in the context of the New Wave movement, he epitomized the "cool nerd" archetype.
Talking Heads came together when Byrne, Frantz and Weymouth moved from Rhode Island to a shared loft in New York City in 1975. Harrison joined before the release of the first album, Talking Heads '77 (1977), which contained the early favorites "Psycho Killer" and "Uh-Oh, Love Comes to Town." Brian Eno, the former Roxy Music synthesizer player and "ambient music" pioneer who would go on to produce U2 and others, was involved with Talking Heads' next three albums: More Songs About Buildings and Food (1978), which contained their hit version of Al Green's "Take Me to the River"; Fear of Music (1979), an album that married African rhythms with Western technology; and Remain in Light (1980), Talking Heads' acknowledged masterpiece. By the last of these, Eno had become an official, albeit temporary, group member, precipitating a widening rift between Byrne and the others over issues of control, credit and direction. All of their albums were fresh and revolutionary but Remain in Light, with its experimental forms and audacious, Afro-Caribbean rhythmic beds, represented a radical breakthrough that reverberated beyond the band to exert an impact on cutting-edge music in general.
The group expanded in size for touring purposes in order to perform their more celebratory, polyrhythmic music, and Talking Heads acquired a sizable following in the first half of the Eighties based on their danceable, invigorating live shows. Two live albums, The Name of This Band Is Talking Heads (1982) and Stop Making Sense (1984)—the latter being the soundtrack to the acclaimed, Jonathan Demme-produced concert documentary of the same name—appeared in short order. Sandwiched between them was Talking Heads' highest-charting album, Speaking in Tongues (1983), which contained the Top Ten single "Burning Down the House." Talking Heads, with their background in visual art, made some of rock's most arresting videos, and MTV served as an unlikely ally in making possible their popular breakthrough.
In the wake of these successes, the Talking Heads regrouped and refocused as a quartet on the smaller-scale, song-oriented albums Little Creatures (1985) and True Stories (1986). The latter served as the soundtrack to a David Byrne film that strung together vignettes about everyday life, and it yielded Talking Heads third hit single, "Wild Wild Life" (Number Twenty-Five). The group recorded Naked (1988), in Paris with African musicians. Naked would turn out to be Talking Heads' last album, as intra-band tensions and increasing involvement with solo careers and side bands led to their demise. In 1991 the group recorded four more tracks at New York's Electric Lady Studios, which appeared on the compilation Popular Favorites, 1976-1992: Sand in the Vaseline.
Away from Talking Heads, Byrne pursued his interest in world music, especially music from Brazil, and launched his own label, Luaka Bop, dedicated to its spread and preservation. Frantz and Weymouth reconvened their successful dance-pop group, Tom Tom Club (whose 1981 single "Genius of Love" remains a club favorite from that decade). Harrison produced albums for other bands and fronted a group of his own, Casual Gods.

In addition, reliability analysis provides tools and solvers to evaluate the influence of uncertain model parameters.
In view of today's increasing requirements for short design cycles and high quality products, the finite element analysis becomes an indispensible tool for the daily development work. Moreover, complex products are often developed in distributed structured companies. This makes interdependencies between different components of the product visible in time only if they are simulated and analysed on the computer. At the same time, the quality assurance of analysis results is of great importance. Hence, the choice of the right analysis tool is of crucial significance.

VisPER is the GUI (Graphical User Interface) of PERMAS to support the definiton of model properties and to evaluate the results.
For the definition of the model based on a given mesh, VisPER supports the definition of additional model properties. In particular, numerous Wizards support a guided model description, which improves the completeness of the required model data and reduces the number of inconsistencies in the model data.
During result evaluation, many quantities can be visualized and animated on the structural surface. The generation of videos is also supported. MOreover, history plots in time and frequency domain as well as over iterations in nonlinear or optimization runs can be viewed as XY graphs.

The lovely Bayport Cruise Terminal in Houston, Texas, presents a new home port option for cruise passengers. Princess Cruises plans 27 departures from Houston during the 2013-2014 cruise season, sending the Caribbean Princess on seven-day cruises of the Western Caribbean. In 2014, Norwegian Cruise Lines will also begin sailing seven-day Western Caribbean cruises from Houston on the Norwegian Jewel.
Bayport Cruise Terminal is actually located just outside Houston, in Pasadena, Texas, along the Houston Ship Channel. Travel experts believe that Houston will be a convenient port of departure for many vacationers: in fact, more than 15 million people live within a half-day drive of Houston. Cruise fans from the Western and Midwestern regions of the U.S. also have a shorter trip to Houston than to the cruise ports of Florida.
Traveling to Bayport Cruise Terminal by air is convenient, too, as the terminal is easily accessible from both of Houston's airports, George Bush Intercontinental Airport and William P. Hobby Airport. In addition, Houston is a major airline hub, which makes non-stop service available from many cities in North America.
The cruise terminal itself is spacious and designed to minimize congestion and maximize passenger flow. Plasma screens provide directions and guidance to arriving passengers, and an ample number of security stations minimize time waiting in line.
Once on the ship, passengers can look forward to a sea-going exploration of some of the finest ports in the Western Caribbean. Both Princess and Norwegian are planning to sail from Houston to Roatan, Honduras; Belize City, Belize; and Cozumel, Mexico. All three ports offer beautiful beaches, snorkeling and diving, boating and other water sports, as well as unique attractions.
Roatan is known for its Garifuna community, where descendents of Black Carib Indians have maintained their traditional lifestyle while welcoming visitors. You can also have a dolphin encounter or visit a unique iguana farm.
In Belize, take a ride on a river through a jungle teeming with wildlife, pilot your inner tube through a series of caves, or zip-line through the canopy of the rainforest.
Cozumel offers access to fascinating runs from the Mayan civilization, as well as X-Caret, an ecological and archeological theme park with underground rivers and a replica of a Mayan village.To make your plans to see all this and more by cruising the Western Caribbean from Houston, talk with your Cruise Holidays personal cruise expert.

Angelina Jolie and Daniel Aronofsky are talking about bringing "Serena: A Novel," the story of vengeful timber baroness, to the big screen.
The 2008 novel by Ron Rash opens in the year 1929 and tells the story of newlyweds George and Serena Pemberton, who move from Boston to the North Carolina to start a timber empire. But things go pear-shaped when she learns she can't bear children and decides to murder her husband's illegitimate son.
The opening paragraph sets the tone pretty quickly:
When Pemberton returned to the North Carolina mountains after three months in Boston settling his father's estate, among those waiting on the train platform was a young woman pregnant with Pemberton's child. She was accompanied by her father, who carried beneath his shabby frock coat a bowie knife sharpened with great attentiveness earlier that morning so it would plunge as deep as possible into Pemberton's heart.
Christopher Kyle, who wrote the early Kathryn Bigelow movies "The Weight of Water" and "K-19: The Widowmaker," has written the script. Nick Wechsler, who ushered along other recent adaptations such as "The Road," "The Time Traveler's Wife" and "Reservation Road," will produce.
As they shop their new project around town, Jolie continues shooting "The Tourist" opposite Johnny Depp and Aronofsky is prepping for the release of "Black Swan," starring Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis as rival ballerinas.

West pulls away for All-Star victory
Altoona's Holt delivers early blow with unexpected home run
By Brian Moynahan / Special to MLB.com | July 13, 2011 7:43 PM
Then came the ninth.
Sparked by an unlikely power source, the Western Division All-Stars defeated their Eastern Division counterparts, 8-3, on Wednesday in front of 7,517 fans at Northeast Delta Dental Stadium.
Pitching before his hometown fans, New Hampshire's Zach Stewart retired the first five batters he faced, including consecutive strikeouts to open the second inning. But Francisco Martinez of the Erie SeaWolves singled and Brock Holt of the Altoona Curve sent a line drive over the right-field fence to make it 2-0.
Holt, who has one homer in 85 regular-season games, took home the Star of Stars Award.
"I was just looking and trying to get a good pitch to hit," he said. "And with the count, it was going to be a fastball and I was able to square it up and hit it out of the park, so that was exciting.
"I don't hit a lot of home runs, so I don't really know what one feels like when you really get it. But I knew I hit it good and the ball was really carrying to right, so I knew I had a shot. I just put my head down and started running."
For six innings, pitching was the dominant storyline. The West did not allow a hit until Will Middlebrooks of the Portland Sea Dogs doubled with one out in the fourth. The East nearly got on the board, but Binghamton's Josh Satin was thrown out trying to score from first.
The stellar pitching was highlighted by Harrisburg's Erik Arnesen, who struck out the side in the second, and Trenton's Manny Banuelos, who matched him in the third. The stint by the Yankees prospect was part of a four-inning stretch in which the East struck out five without allowing a hit.
With its pitchers keeping the score close, the East tied it in the sixth. Corban Joseph of the Trenton Thunder greeted Erie's Jacob Turner -- the Tigers' top prospect -- with a single to center and advanced to third on a passed ball and a wild pitch that came on ball four to New Britain's Yangervis Solarte.
"Same as always, just go out there and get the guys out," Turner said of his approach. "I got behind, 3-0, gave up a base hit, struck the next guy out. Same approach every time I go out there, really.
"I think I only threw 10 pitches, so it was tough to gauge what I really had a feel for or not. Left a couple baserunners on and I think I was only gonna throw around 10 pitches, no matter what happened."
With runners at the corners and one out, Turner was relieved by Altoona's Aaron Pribanic, who allowed run-scoring hits to Trenton's Austin Romine and New Hampshire's Mike McDade, the pregame Home Run Derby winner.
Pribanic (1-0) kept the score tied by retiring Reading's Matt Rizzotti on a comebacker and getting Portland's Alex Hassan to line out to third.
"Rizzotti, I just wanted to get ahead, and then if I could get ahead and try to punch him out, I was going to do that," Pribanic said. "Obviously, he swung at the first pitch and grounded it back to me, so that worked out the same way.
"Hassan, with two outs and two runners in scoring position, I definitely didn't want to give him anything real good to hit with [a base] open. He had a good at-bat and thankfully hit one that ran out of gas."
The West regained the lead in the seventh against New Hampshire's Joel Carreno (0-1). Harrisburg's Bill Rhinehart doubled and advanced to third when Hassan slipped and fell after catching Martinez's fly ball. He scored on a single by Richmond's Charlie Culberson, who'd replaced Holt in the fifth.
Culberson stole second and scored on a base hit by Flying Squirrels teammate Roger Kieschnick. Both players finished with two hits, with Culberson scoring twice and driving in a run and Kieschnick scoring once and plating a pair.
Erie's Justin Henry delivered the big blow in the ninth, chasing Portland's Alex Wilson with a two-run single.
New Hampshire's Moises Sierra, the Home Run Derby runner-up, plated a run in the bottom of the ninth as the East loaded the bases. But Solarte popped out to end the game.

The Life and Times of a Cute Little Puppy
The Life and Times of a Cute Little Puppy is a harrowing tale of love, betrayal, and jealousy written from the point of view of a cute little puppy as he struggles to find meaning in his life. The back of the book says that "...never before has a such a harrowing tale of heroism been written about any puppy, whether cute or not." With 55 chapters, mostly about how cute the puppy was, the adventures contained within The Life and Times of a Cute Little Puppy are so damn harrowing 'n shit that the book has been banned from several school libraries across the nation.
Early life: Trouble Brewing
Sadly, The Cute Little Puppy never truly knew his father beyond being a Daschund who enjoyed playing with bright objects. His mother was no better, being neglectful, she would frequently abandon her children to play with a tennis ball or attack squeaky toys in a playful manner. Not once did The Cute Little Puppy have a real conversation with either of his parents. At only eight weeks old, the puppy and two of his sisters were captured by slave traffickers (this part of the book is open to interpretation) while their mother was busy fetching a stick. The Cute Little Puppy was given to the ASPCA to be taken care of, and almost was (in the Italian Mob sense of the term) before he was rescued an hour later by an equally cute family.
The autobiography continues with The Cute Little Puppy receiving news of his mother's death. Since he had not seen his mother for most of his young life, the puppy does not feel much remorse at his mother's passing. He is, personally, deeply disturbed by this, and begins barking and whimpering while rolling around on the ground in front of the camera. Oh look at those big brown eyes! Awwww! Who's having an existential crisis? YOU ARE! YES YOU ARE!
Trials and Tribulations: Troubled Times
Although on the surface The Cute Little Puppy's life seemed calm and not very interesting, The Cute Little Puppy's life was about to change irrevocably and forever. This point in his life was the fulcrum- the crucible against which The Cute Little Puppy would put both his mind and character to the test. This chapter in his life was most certainly harrowing like no puppy's life has been or should be. It was really exciting, and I'm not just saying that.
Around this time, The Cute Little Puppy released his first album, Puppy Puppy Puppy Puppy Ruff Ruff. A 63 minute album of The Cute Little Puppy barking and begging set to '50s and '60s classic rock, the album sold millions and allowed him and his newly found family to settle in to a life of comfort. Sadly, The Cute Little Puppy's second album, Ruff Ruff Woof Woof Puppy Puppy, a 65 minute album of The Cute Little Puppy barking and whimpering to '90s and 2000s death metal didn't do as well, which just goes to show that The Cute Little Puppy's life was not all flowers and rainbows. No sir. Not at all. Not. At. All.
Run-ins with the Law: The Introduction of his Troubles
Never before, and never since, has a Cute Little Puppy been so tried and hounded by life's harrowing experiences. Oh my, were his experiences harrowing. By the end of all his harrowing troubles, The Cute Little Puppy, although still cute and still technically a puppy, no longer could say with full honesty that the world was a friendly place (although he couldn't say that before, either).
At the tender age of three months, The Cute Little Puppy was a millionaire and had a different girl over at his mansion every week to rub his cute and precious little belly. The Cute Little Puppy lived a dream life for a short while, spending his days scratching himself, eating any kind of meat he wanted, and fetching any stick he pleased. It's true that he didn't actually have any run ins with the law, but what do you expect? He's just a dumb animal.
In a little "screw you" to the readers, it was revealed that The Cute Little Puppy actually did have a run in with the law, when he was called as a witness to his master's tax fraud investigation, but this episode in his life was not included in the final printing of the book.
Troubles: The Time of Troubled Troubles
In the history of the universe, never before has a dumb animal been subjected to so many harrowing events. The Cute Little Puppy was about to see his life change course forever: standing at the helm of a ship made of his own destruction, The Cute Little Puppy could only squeek helplessly, and grapple for toys helplessly, as his ship ran aground on the shore of Destruction-- located just off Disaster Island.
After a while, The Cute Little Puppy's record sales dropped off, and he had to resort to begging to be fed. The Cute Little Puppy was forced to play with inanimate objects, and poop in a sandbox like a dumb animal. The Cute Little Puppy had never before been so not-pampered.
Postscript: The Troubles Begin
After meeting the president, The Cute Little Puppy was sent to Iraq to boost troop morale, and is currently happily employed as a land mine detector. In all honesty, the soldiers would have preferred porn mags, but they weren't cute enough to have their opinions matter. After being a commercial and critical success, The Life and Times of a Cute Little Puppy is scheduled to become a movie sometime in the near future, with extended cute sequences and a happy ending.

Can someone recommend a book that explains the story behind http requests that web servers send and receive?
For example, if a web site has two fields, Name and Second name and a submit button, what should I do to submit that information to the server. Plus the story behind REST and similar stuff.
I have done some of these things in my applications but without really understanding why am I doing something, just by looking at examples and other peoples code and now I need to start acting like a grown up and learn at least something about these things. I've been parsing HTML in my own code, I use Facebook SDK, Dropbox SDK, SkyDrive SDK and have used JSON to talk to Google/Bing API but I still don't understand a lot about web related development.
I preffer a book to a web site because I'm over forty and my eyes hate me for staring 10 to 12 hours each day at computer screens.

Hopefully, we don't see you playing in Hawaii.
We'd much rather see you playing the next weekend in Dallas.
Defensively, the Steelers are playing their best football since the 2008 season. Coincidentally, James Harrison won Defensive Player of the Year that year.
Is there a chance he'll win the award again this year? To be honest, probably not, given that he has been the poster boy for Roger Goodell's power trip. But the award is given by the AP, not the NFL Front Office.
But let's be objective about things for a moment and take a look at the stats. How does James Harrison compare with the other contenders for Defensive Player of the Year?
First, let's figure out who the contenders are.
Since the award was first handed out by the Associated Press in 1971, it has only gone to a player on a team that did not make the playoffs 6 times. 3 of those 6 times were in the last 10 years. Only once in the past 14 years did the award go to a player that was on a defense not ranked in the Top 10 in Total Defense.
The current Top 10 in Total Defense are: San Diego, Pittsburgh, Miami, NY Jets, New Orleans, NY Giants, Minnesota, Baltimore, Green Bay, Chicago
94 Tackles
11 Sacks (T-8th in NFL)
6 Forced Fumbles (T-2nd in NFL)
Team Defense Rank: 2nd
Team Defense Rank: 2nd
Harrison should be the clear favorite for the award. He has more tackles than any of the other Sack Leaders. His 2 INTs is tied for the 4th most amongst Linebackers and his 6 forced fumbles leads all Linebackers.
53 Tackles
14 Sacks (1st in NFL)
3 Forced Fumbles
Team Defense Rank: 3rd
14 Sacks (1st in NFL)
3 Forced Fumbles
Team Defense Rank: 3rd
Wake is leading the league in sacks, but is somewhat of a one-trick pony. He has about half the tackles Harrison does, with no interceptions and half the forced fumbles.
Clay Matthews
58 Tackles
12.5 Sacks (T-3rd in NFL)
2 Forced Fumbles
1 TD (INT return)
Team Defense Rank: 9th
Clay Matthews has gotten a lot of press this year for the season he has had, and honestly he deserves it. He's a hell of a player, but has about 2/3 the total tackles Harrison does, with 1/3 the forced fumbles.
Terrell Suggs
65 Tackles
11 Sacks (T-8th in NFL)
2 Forced Fumbles
Team Defense Rank: 8th
Suggs has been a monster in some games and completely a non-factor in others. His 11 sacks puts him in the "elite" class in the league, but he hasn't created turnovers like Harrison has.
169 Tackles (1st in NFL)
1 Sack
1 Forced Fumble
Team Defense Rank: 27th
Mayo has been a tackling machine, but let's face it: he hasn't made the splash plays that you would expect out of a DPOY. Also, New England's 27th-ranked defense won't help his chances.
Defensive Ends
38 Tackles
13 Sacks (2nd in NFL)
2 Forced Fumbles
Team Defense Rank: 17th
Abraham has been a sack monster, but the Falcons 17th-ranked defense will hurt him. If you're looking objectively, he has 1/3 of the tackles and forced fumbles James Harrison does.
56 Tackles
11 Sacks (T-8th in NFL)
1 Forced Fumbles
Team Defense Rank: 20th
The same amount of sacks as Harrison, with half as many tackles, no INTs and only 1 forced fumble. Plus, he plays on the 20th-ranked defense in the league.
43 Tackles
10 Sacks (T-14th in NFL)
8 Forced Fumbles (1st in NFL)
Team Defense Rank: 6th
Umenyiora and Justin Tuck have both had great seasons rushing the passer. Osi has forced more fumbles than any other player and double-digit sacks are nothing to sneeze at. Osi had a huge 3-game streak in the middle of the season where he rung up 7 sacks. The Giants making the playoffs would help Osi's chances.
74 Tackles
11 Sacks
6 Forced Fumbles (T-2nd in NFL)
Team Defense Rank: 6th
Tuck has simply been too inconsistent to win the award. He has 3 games with only 1 tackle, but also has 6 games with 7+ tackles. He has 2 games with 3 sacks, but also been shut out in 8 games.
Defensive Backs
62 Tackles
1 Sacks
6 INT (T-2nd in NFL)
1 Forced Fumbles
1 TD (INT Return)
Team Defense Rank: 2nd
When you talk about big plays at big moments in games, the guy you want on your side is Troy Polamalu. For a three-week stretch, Troy put the Steelers on his back and made plays that led the Steelers to victory. His interception at the goal line against Buffalo, Sack-fumble against Baltimore, and Pick-6 against Cincinnati powered the Steelers to victory. No player in the league this year has made bigger plays in crunch time than Troy. Missing two games with an injury might hurt his chances though.
26 Tackles
0 Sacks
7 INT (1st in NFL)
0 Forced Fumbles
Team Defense Rank: 12th
Samuel leads the league in interceptions, but that probably won't be enough to win him the award, particularly considering Harrison has 8 turnovers forced (2 INT, 6 FF) and Samuel has 7.
Reed missed 6 games this year but has been on a tear with 6 picks since he got back. It won't help his case that he was no where to be found when the Steelers visited town and took control of the division from the Ravens.
With all the evidence in front of you, the choice should really come down to just a few players. Assuming the Dolphins and Giants don't make the playoffs, that takes Wake, Umenyiora, and Tuck off the board. Hali, Mayo, Abraham, Mathis, and Samuel play on defenses not ranked in the Top 10.
That leaves us with James Harrison, Clay Matthews, Terrell Suggs, Troy Polamalu, and Ed Reed.
Of these 5 players, Harrison has the most tackles (94), most turnovers created (8 - 6 forced fumbles & 2 INT), and plays on the best defense (2nd ranked). Arguably, Polamalu has made more impact plays this season that have directly affected the outcome of games, but he has also missed 2 games due to injury.
Based on all of the above statistical evidence (and not even counting the fact that he gets held on nearly every play), I would say that Harrison should be one of the leading candidates for Defensive Player of the Year.
To be honest, if we were voting we would probably pick Troy as our Defensive Player of the Year because he has made more big plays at key moments in games than any other defensive player this year. But since he'll likely miss his 3rd game this weekend due to injury, we don't think the AP voters will have him on their radar.
Therefore, Vote James Harrison for Defensive Player of the Year.

On my way to work this morning, I was reading how new research has raised concerns about a link between drinking diet soda and an increased incidence of stroke/heart attack. Specifically, the findings were that there was a 48% higher risk of stroke or heart attack among those who drank diet soda every day compared to those who didn't drink any soda at all (full article). It's already being pointed out that this isn't necessarily a simple cause and effect relationship. Well either way, I don't think anyone should fool themselves into believing that ingesting straight-up chemicals (the stuff that makes a diet soda "diet") can do anything good for the human body.
Personally, I'm not a soda drinker, but I can understand how some people really love the stuff – the sweetness, the bubbles, etc. If you're looking to move away from drinking soda and want a healthy alternative, try some sparkling mineral water (I love San Pellegrino or Trader Joe's brand) with a splash of your favorite juice or a squeeze of lemon/lime.

The 49ers' offensive malaise entered its second week Sunday in a 27-7 upset loss to the Colts on Sunday at Candlestick Park.
On the heels of a desultory 29-3 defeat in Seattle, San Francisco collected as many punts as points and Colin Kaepernick struggled to locate open pass-catchers against Indianapolis' man-to-man coverage. With tight end Vernon Davis sidelined for the first time since 2007 with a hamstring injury, Kaepernick completed 13 of 27 passes for 150 yards with an interception. In his last two games, Kaepernick has completed 26 of 55 passes for 277 yards with no touchdowns and committed six turnovers.
The last time the 49ers scored a combined 10 points in back-to-back games was in 2007 when they lost to Seattle (23-3) and Baltimore (9-7) in Weeks 4 and 5.
On Sunday, the 49ers lack of a proven No. 2 wide receiver was glaring. Of Kaepernick's nine completions, five went to Anquan Boldin. He didn't complete a pass to another wide receiver until he connected with Kyle Williams for a six-yard gain with 1:15 remaining.
On Sunday morning, there were multiple national reports stating the 49ers planned to push for Smith to enter a rehabilitation facility this week. Given the team's stance, it seemed possible Smith would not play, or play sparingly, against the Colts.
Instead, Smith played every defensive snap and recorded five tackles, all in the second half. Smith did not have a sack.
Leading 13-7 in the fourth quarter, Indianapolis took control on an 11-play, 80-yard touchdown drive capped by a six-yard run by quarterback Andrew Luck with 4:13 left. The former Stanford All-American completed 18 of 27 passes for 164 yards in his triumphant return to the Bay Area.
Any hopes for last-ditch comeback were snuffed out when Kaepernick was sacked and lost a fumble on San Francisco's next drive. The Colts took a 27-7 lead three plays later on one-yard touchdown run by Ahmad Bradshaw (19 carries, 95 yards).
The Colts' final two touchdown drives came against a defense missing All-Pro inside linebacker Patrick Willis, who left the game with a groin injury late in the third quarter. It's not known if Willis be available when the 49ers visit the Rams on Thursday night.
The Colts opened the game with a seven-play, 80-yard touchdown drive that included six first downs and spanned 3:40. Luck completed 4 of 4 passes for 45 yards on the march, which was capped by a one-yard run by newly acquired running back Trent Richardson.
The 49ers responded two drives later with a 91-yard drive highlighted by running back Frank Gore, who had been invisible in the season's first two games. Gore had runs of 22, 21 and 11 yards on a drive finished by a 13-yard scamper by Kendall Hunter. Gore, who finished with 82 yards on 11 carries, surpassed his rushing total in the season's first two games (60 yards) less than 10 minutes into the first quarter. Gore, however, had just 12 yards on three carries in the second half.

Flat-Head Cap Screws are very common in industrial applications. A cap screw is a fastener for machine parts, threaded along the whole length of its shank and held by threads tapped in the hole in which it is screwed. These screws provide high-torque capability and the drive system is a hexagon-shaped hole.
- Tighten with an Allen-style wrench
- Contains a recessed driving area and offers holding power at high torque levels
- Ideal for use in confined areas where the head needs to be flush or below the surface
- Stainless-steel
