Like they had so many times in the series the Kings fought back from a deficit to win the game in overtime, their third overtime victory of the series. Justin Williams opened the Kings scoring in the first period, but the Rangers fought back in the second period with a pair of goals, from Chris Kreider and Brian Boyle, to take the lead into the third period. With twelve minutes left in regulation, Marian Gaborik notched his fourteenth goal of the playoffs to tie the game at two and set up the eventual overtime period. Gaborik's goal, on a power play, was assisted by Jeff Carter and Drew Doughty.The victory over the Rangers was the Kings twenty-sixth playoff game, an NHL record for most games played in single playoffs. Before dispatching the Rangers in five games, the Kings went to seven games in their previous three series, versus San Jose, Anaheim, and Chicago. The Kings have played sixty-four playoff games in the past three seasons, another NHL record. The third overtime victory, which followed an overtime win in game seven of the Western Conference Finals, proved once again that the Kings mettle in deciding games. Unlike the previous three, the finals didn't go seven games, but the Kings and Jonathan Quick stood tall again.
Quick, who went through some stretches of poor play in this year's playoffs, was superb once again with the game on the line. Quick made 28 saves including several clutch stops in the third period and overtime. The Kings star goalie may have had some rough moments earlier in the finals, but he was perfect in all three overtimes, including a shutout in game three.The Kings title was a complete team effort, with the Conn Smythe Award as playoff MVP going to Kings forward Justin Williams who scored several clutch goals in the postseason, including the opener in game five, his ninth of the postseason. Williams finished with 7 points and five goals in the finals, and 26 total points in the playoffs. Williams joins Jonathan Quick has a Los Angeles Kings Conn Smythe Award winner. Williams narrowly edged out defenseman Drew Doughty, who played forty-one minutes in the final game. Doughty and center Jeff Carter joined a small group of players who won both an Olympic Gold Medal and Stanley Cup championship in the same season.
Do you know how many Stanley Cups the Los Angeles Kings have won since their first season?

STRANGE BUT TRUE- Fugu you: A fishy way to kill yourself
Q. "I cannot see her tonight./ I have to give her up/ So I will eat fugu." Any idea what the Japanese poet has in mind here? Let the eater beware! –H. O. Hito
A. Intensive training is necessary to become licensed as a fugu chef in Japan, but it's worth the effort, says Nigel Calder in Magic Universe. Gourmets pay astounding prices for the right to court death by eating the most esteemed and dangerous fugu, alias the pufferfish or blowfish.
Consuming just a smidgeon of its liver may render a person unable to breathe within minutes due to the poison tetrodotoxin (TTX).
"It's a recognized though nasty way of committing suicide," seemingly the poet's intention. The stuff is 10-100 times as lethal as black widow spider venom, 10,000 times cyanide, says Jim Johnson on Bristol University's "Molecule of the Month." A single mg or less– on the head of a pin– can kill an adult. Numbing of the lips and tongue may progress to paralysis, the victim unable to move though fully conscious and even lucid before death within 4-6 hours (associated with Haitian zombie-ism).
Recently the world's biologists have studied the fugu genome, 1/8th the size of the human genome yet with a similar set of genes and therefore promising and revealing, says Calder.
"Some 450 million years have elapsed since we and the fugu last shared a common ancestor, yet more than 75 percent of the fish's genes crop up in the human genome."
Q. If "One dog year = seven human years," how much does one cat year equal? –J. Fariello
A. The premise is wrong, says Philip Kass of the University of California-Davis. Different dog breeds have different lifespans: Great Danes usually live less than 10 years, but small breeds go into their late teens.
Generally in the mammalian kingdom, bigger animals live longer because small animals lose their heat faster and so need faster heart rates (metabolism), thus wearing out their "ticker" faster, says James H. Jones, also of the University of California-Davis. But big dogs are not the true "canid" form, having been artificially selected and bred by humans in such a way that bigger dogs wind up with shorter lifespans. As a result, cats tend to live longer than dogs.
But with cats, there are really two different lifespans– outdoors v. indoor, says Niels Pedersen, professor of veterinary medicine at the school. The average lifespan for an outdoor cat is around 4-5 years, for a well-cared-for indoor cat, 15-20+ years. So for the first, the ratio is one cat year = 18 human years, for the second, five human years, based on an 80-year average for people.
Q. Art lovers, next time you're at a museum looking at a favorite painting, try shutting one eye and backing off a distance. Do you see the improvement?– L. Parsons
A. No less a genius than Leonardo da Vinci recommended this, and several hundred years ago it became fashionable to hang a dark curtain with a small viewing hole in front of paintings, says Margaret Livingstone in Vision and Art: The Biology of Seeing. The point was to allow viewers to appreciate the illusion of depth in the two-dimensional painting. Normally our two eyes have slightly different perspectives on real 3-D objects, and so see slightly different images (stereopsis).
But this is not true when we look at a painting, plus there is no relative movement of the different objects portrayed, so our brain knows the scene is in fact flat.
To help preserve the illusion of 3-D, advised da Vinci, you should view paintings with only one eye and at a long distance. Try it," says Livingstone. "It works."
Q. Ever feel like tearing your hair out? If you've literally done this, you're not alone. What's TTM? –R. Punzel
A. Short for trichotillomania, it's hair-pulling compulsion involving the scalp, eyebrows and eyelashes, and afflicting as many as 1 in 50 people, mostly women. Some rip out hair and eat the roots, says Clifford A. Pickover in Strange Brains and Genius. Often this is done in highly orderly fashion, i.e., four hairs from the right side of the head, then four from the left.
The cause is unknown and treatment difficult– especially since "sufferers" seem to take such pleasure in doing it– but forms of aversion therapy help, along with Prozac and other drugs. Still, relapses are the rule.
Dr. Judith Rapoport has theorized it's a basic grooming ritual gone wild, as the behavior's been observed in cats, dogs, monkeys, horses, sheep, birds– and rats, including "barber rats" that are such super groomers they clip off cagemates' hair and whiskers, but only in the dark.

HOUSTON — Blaine Gabbert was playing poorly. Again. Then he hurt his shoulder and, presto, he threw a touchdown pass.
That doesn't exactly inspire confidence in the 49ers' top backup spot behind Colin Kaepernick entering the regular season.
But then came Josh Johnson in relief Thursday night, and he delivered what coach Jim Harbaugh termed "a heck of a game" in the 49ers' eventual 40-13 win over the Houston Texans in the exhibition finale.
Will it be enough for Johnson to survive Saturday's cuts and make the 53-man roster, if not unseat Gabbert as the No. 2 quarterback?
Harbaugh declined to state how the backup order will shake out. But the coach wants to keep both Gabbert and Johnson behind Kaepernick, noting the 49ers carried three quarterbacks in the past, even if they played the final eight games last season with just Kaepernick and Colt McCoy.
Said Johnson: "I don't put the roster together. I don't determine the depth chart. All I determine is my performance, and I felt like I was able to make a strong case to be on this team."
Johnson was 14 of 17 for 135 yards with three touchdown passes, including one on his first snap, a 13-yard throw to Bruce Ellington just before halftime. Johnson did have a pass intercepted and returned for a touchdown, after wideout L'Damian Washington tipped it to cornerback Andre Hal.
Gabbert got the surprise start after Harbaugh decided Wednesday to let Kaepernick and almost all other starters treat this as a bye before the Sept. 7 regular-season opener, just up Interstate 45 against the Dallas Cowboys.
Gabbert was 4 of 11 passing for 60 yards, but it was his touchdown-pass finish that had Harbaugh jazzed. Gabbert's throwing shoulder got hurt on a hit by Julius Warmsley, but Gabbert stayed in the game and promptly threw a 14-yard touchdown pass to Asante Cleveland.
"Blaine got hit on the shoulder there, pretty good thump," Harbaugh said. "To come back in and fire a perfect pass, one foot in front of the numbers, and Asante made a great play on it."
Gabbert said his throwing shoulder is "fine," even though he wasn't sure what postgame X-rays officially revealed. Gabbert played through the pain by relying on adrenaline and motivation to produce a touchdown drive.
Gabbert said of his overall performance: "Some ups and downs. We were in a little rut early in the game. But as we became more consistent we started moving the ball down the field. It was nice to finish that last drive off with a touchdown."
While Gabbert's grasp on the No. 2 job could be best tied to his $2 million guaranteed salary, Thursday's show stirred reminders of his struggles in the first two exhibitions, not to mention his former tenure with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Gabbert was 1 of 6 for 11 yards before throwing into double coverage and finding Derek Carrier for a 32-yard completion. His overall exhibition stats: 22 of 47 for 186 yards, two touchdowns, two interceptions and a 54.0 passer rating.
Johnson hopes this exhibition finale wins him the roster spot that his 2012 performance somehow couldn't, when he lost out on the No. 3 job to Scott Tolzien.
"It was really tough, to be quite honest," Johnson said in reflecting on his 2012 release. "It was a lot of different emotions. I looked at myself, 'What happened?' A lot went into it. There were things I felt I could have done and didn't do.
"I made the determination to do everything I can on my behalf. As long as I can walk with my head high and not live with any regrets, that's the best I can do for myself, and I feel I've done that. I hope coaches keep taking notice of that."
"It's good to go out with a bang and make any play I can to get on the 53-man roster," said Osgood, a 12th-year veteran who got cut for salary purposes before last season but re-signed in Week 2.
Cook made an interception 42 seconds before halftime. Neither Johnson nor Acker is expected to go unclaimed if the 49ers waive them in hopes of re-signing them to the 10-man practice squad Sunday.

Hi everyone!
I've been lurking here for a few months but this is my first time posting. Im also pretty new in Java so forgive me if this question is too basic
Anyway, i'm writing a program which utilizes a linked list implementation of polynomials, and its working fine; except now im having trouble parsing the user's input. Basically, the users input should be something like; "2x^3 + 3x^5" with as many terms as he wants. My program then needs to split that string into Coefficients and Exponents to feed into the linked list.
so, in the case of 2x^3 + 3x^5, the coefficient would be 2 and associated exponent would be 3; these are then converted into int before being passed. This my problem, as i cant get it working properly. I tried using split and substring but its not working properly.
Any tips, suggestions, examples? Just pushing me along the right path would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

My God, the Lightning have become the Atlanta Thrashers.
Mathieu Garon allowed 1 goal on 13 shots before giving way to Anders Lindback who allowed 2 on 18 shots the rest of the way for the loss. Seems like we may see Cedrick Desjardins in a Lightning jersey again.
First Period
04:13 PIT Kunitz (12), (Crosby)
Second Period
02:39 TB Stamkos (16), (Hedman, St. Louis)
11:59 TB Pyatt (5), (Thompson, Palat)
Third Period
05:38 PIT Malkin (5), (unassisted)
07:29 PIT Crosby (11), (Letang)
19:08 PIT Neal (14), (Malkin, Letang)(EN)
19:52 TB Stamkos (17), (Lecavalier, St. Louis)
Steven Stamkos was the game's third star.
Seriously, my goodness, this team has turned into the Atlanta Thrashers. They're a team with a lot of offensive ability and one of the most dynamic scorers in the league, a la Kovalchuk back then, but they're completely unable to keep the puck out of the back of their own net and completely unable to make meaningful plays to win hockey games. So disappointing: a team that, on paper, should be so much better, but plays like less than the sum of their parts.
Alex Killorn had 1 shot and 2 blocked shots in 16:22.
Ondrej Palat had his first NHL point, a helper, and was +1 with 2 hits in 9:28 in his NHL debut. I have to admit to being especially proud of a guy like Palat. Here's a young man who was taken in the final round of the draft, overage, on a flyer. He was supposed to be organizational filler. Now he's an NHLer, for at least one night. It's the kind of story that underlines why the website exists.
Pierre-Cedric Labrie was -1 with 5 penalty minutes, 2 shots, and 5 hits in 6:48. Active.
Cory Conacher was an ugly -3 in 15:01.

Earl Campbell, the 1977 Heisman winner from Texas, was the baddest man on the field in his day. If he didn't run you over with his bullish style, then he ran away from you. The only thing that could stop him? Campbell estimates he went through 20 to 25 tearaway jerseys a game at Texas. "I lost more yardage changing into new jerseys than anything else," he said.
Today, Campbell uses a walker. And when that becomes too much work, he uses a wheelchair. This weekend, at a Heisman Winners Association outing in Austin, it took Campbell roughly six minutes to cover 40 yards — a distance he used to breeze through in less than five seconds.
Campbell is not alone. George Rogers, the 1980 Heisman winner from South Carolina, can't raise his right arm higher than his chest. Archie Griffin ('74 and '75, Ohio State) said, "My neck bothers me quite a bit, like every time I turn my head either way." John Huarte ('64, Notre Dame) had a neck twitch that lasted about 19 years. John David Crow ('57, Texas A&M) has had both knees replaced.
Does it seem possible that 50 years have passed since Crow won the award?
"It does sometimes," he said. "When I get up in the morning, sometimes it feels like it's been more than 50 years."
But Campbell's deteriorating condition is most alarming. He stands at a 45-degree angle, unable to straighten at his lower back. He can no longer straighten his knees, either.
"I stay focused and prayerful that I won't have to deal with the situation of Earl Campbell one day," said Eddie George, who won the Heisman at Ohio State in 1995.

NOTE: For this entire tutorial, operators will be labled green, keywords labled blue, and variables will be labled red for clarity. Also, a .txt version of the tutoiral is available at the bottom of this post.
Before we analyze any pieces of code, it is important to realize that a pointer does not contain a value as a variable, such as an int or char would. It cannot be emphasized enough that pointers must be viewed as just that, pointers. They simply point to a location in memory which can be modified directly using that pointer.
Let's use an analogy to drive this point: you have two jars, with a piece of paper in each. On one of the pieces of paper you write the number 7, and place it in the jar. You then take this jar and place it somewhere in your home. Now on the second piece of paper, you write the location of the first jar and place it in the second jar. This second jar acts as a pointer to the location of the first jar which contains the number seven.
First lets look at the syntax of a basic pointer; this one is of type char:
char* myfirstpointer;
Really the only difference from declaring a variable is the * operator. This operator tells the compiler to create a pointer of type char. In this example the * trailed the datatype (char) however another option to syntax is to place the * before the variable name.
char var,*ptr;
Again, first you state the datatype, then the name of the variable, in this case only ptr would be a pointer, var is still a character because it has no leading *.
So what exactly does this pointer POINT too? Nothing. We have simply created a pointer, ready for pointing, ha! So lets make this pointer POINT to something in our memory.
Value vs. Address - Referencing and De-Referencing
int main() { int x = 7; int* pointer = &x; }
First we make a basic variable of type int and assign the value 7 to it. This 7 is now located somewhere in our memory. Again we declare a pointer as described above, this time of type int. This time though we not only declare the pointer but we make it point to something at the same time; just as you can declare a variable and give it a value at the same time. The & operator may look new to some of you. The & operator references the variable x. In other words it gives the address in memory of x. This is important because we only want the ADDRESS of the variable x, not the actual value.
The best way to see the & operator at work is to output the variable, and the same variable referenced:
#include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { int x = 1337; cout << x << endl; //Output the value of x cout << &x << endl; //Output the reference, or address, of x }
On the first line you should see the value of x, 1337. On the second line you will see the address of x in memory, which probably looks like 021FF7C. Now that you have seen the & operator at work lets tie this back in with pointers.
Lets try this piece of code:
#include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { int x = 1337; int* pointer = &x; cout << pointer << endl; cout << &x << endl; cout << *pointer << endl; }
Here we assign variable x to the value of 1337, and assign pointer to the address of x. Finally, you can see that, indeed, pointers only contain addresses. The first line of output should be the assigned address, in this case, the address of x. Just to prove this, the second line outputs the actual address of x. The first two lines should read the same.
Now the third output is the VALUE at the address stored to the pointer. This, of course, is 1337. But I thought pointers only contain addresses and not values. Indeed they do, but this address points to a value in memory. This value can be viewed by DE-referencing the pointers stored address. Just as we can reference values stored to addresses by using the & operator, we can also DE-reference the addresses to values. This de-referencing is done by the * operator. The * operator in front of pointer states that we want to see the value stored to the address pointer holds.
Modifying variables using pointers
The value of x can also be modified by using pointer:
#include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { int x = 1337; int* ptr = &x; cout << x << endl; *ptr = 54; cout << x << endl; }
x is assigned to 1337, we then assign the address of x to pointer. The first output is used to show that the value of x is 1337, but then we change the value of x by using ptr.
*ptr = 54;
The value of the address stored to ptr = 54
Again, it is very important to remember that ptr does not contain the value of x, only the address, and that by de-referencing the address we can set the value of x through ptr. This could be said as a sentence to better understand it.
The value at(*) this address(ptr) = 54;
Finally the second output will display that 54 is now the value of x.
Arithmetic operators and pointers - Accessing arrays with pointers
Arithmetic operators can be used on pointers to change the address the pointer points to. This can best be shown by making the pointer point to an array, this time of characters.
char str[11] = Dark_Nexus; char* ptr = str;
Because str is an array, just using the variable name supplies the address to the array so there is no need to reference it with &. The following line would achieve the same goal.
char* ptr = &str[0];
Because str[0] actually contains a value we have to reference it with &. Now ptr, either way, points to the head of the array str. Just as you can move through an array with the [] brackets, you can also move through a pointer in the same way. 0 indicates the head of the array, and in this case 10 would be the end of it.
cout << ptr[0] << endl; cout << ptr[10] << endl;
These two outputs would display the first and last character of the character array str, because ptr points to the memory used by str. You may be asking why don't you have to dereference ptr[0] or ptr[10]? They are values not addresses. In this case you do not have to de-reference the address as the brackets [] do it for you. The values of the character array can also be modified in this manner.
ptr[0] = ptr[10];
Because we already know 0 is the head of the array, and 10 is the end we can assign position 0 to position 10 in the string. No de-referencing is required as, again, the brackets[] do it for you. If you were to output str now, it would read "sark_Nexus"
Now that we have seen how to use a pointer with an array, we can actually talk about arithmetic operators and pointers now.
cout << ptr + 1 << endl;;
ptr still points to str, and in this case str has returned to "Dark_Nexus". ptr + 1 indicates a shift (in this case an increment) from the address ptr is pointing to. When arrays are declared, all the memory is allocated at the same time, so each array element will be right next to the other, running from 0 to 10 for this string. ptr only contains the address to the head of the array, so by using ptr + 1, moves to the next address (ptr + 2 would mean move two addresses forward). The output would be ark_Nexus. However ptr still points to the head of the array because we have just added 1 to the address of ptr only for the duration of the statement. Once the statement is over ptr will still point to the head of the array. Now let's say we only want ptr to point to the Nexus portion of the string. This can be achieved by using the += operator.
ptr += 5;
To better understand this operation you could think of the statement as ptr = ptr + 5. "Dark_" is 5 characters long, so we simply have to move 5 characters (or addresses) forward. ptr now points to array slot 5, or N. If you were to output ptr now, it would read Nexus. You guessed it, you can use lots of other arithmetic operators too, here's a list summarizing their effects:
++ (move address forward by one, ptr = ptr + 1)
-- (move address backward by one, ptr = ptr -1)
-= a (move address backward by a, ptr = ptr - a)
These are the basic ways to modify the location in memory a pointer points to, all other arithmetic operators apply. If you were using more than one pointer to point to the same piece of memory, modifying the address one pointer points too will not affect the other pointer's address. However, if the value of the memory was modified, the pointers would reflect that change.
You guessed it again, you can make pointers to objects too!! (along with any sort of datatype). Again, I must stress that a pointer to an object STILL simply points to the address where the object is held in memory. When accessing a member of an object you simply use -> instead of .
struct mystruct { int var1; int var2; } myobject; mystruct* ptr = &myobject; ptr->var1 = 7; ptr->var2 = 493; cout << myobject.var1 << endl << myobject.var2 << endl; cout << ptr->var1 << endl << ptr->var2;
We make a structure called mystruct and then make an object of type mystruct. Finally we make a pointer to the object of type mystruct and assign ptr to the address of myobject using the & operator.
mystruct* ptr = &myobject;
var1 is set to 7 and var2 is set to 493 by using ptr, however you may have noticed that I never de-refrenced ptr. That's because the -> de-references it for us, just as the []'s do for arrays. Lastly, var1 and var2 are outputted by using both the object and the pointer to prove that we have indeed modified the variable.
You would access a class' members the same way as it is an object also.

In the previous example, the memory our pointers pointed to were part of the stack. This stack is allocated pre-compile, and is also deleted after the program run.
The difference between the stack and the heap is that the stack is allocated before the program executes, where the heap contains memory allocated DURING the program run.
int x; //Allocates 4 bytes in the stack char c; //Allocates 1 byte in the stack
The new keyword is used to allocate memory during the program run. Syntax looks like this:
new char;
new signals to allocate new memory in the heap, char indicates what kind and how much. In this case we have made room for a single character. You could just as easily make room for 20 integers.
new int[20];
Again, new signals to allocate memory in the heap, int indicates of what kind, and [20] defines how much. Remember that all the memory for arrays is allocated at the same time, so they will be placed together in memory. You definitely do not want to just create memory in the heap without being able to manage it though, so how do you manage your newly allocated memory? After the program ends, unlike the stack, the memory in the heap remains, this leads to memory leaks and other nasty things. So never allocate memory in the heap without having a pointer point to it. This can be done when you declare the pointer or later in the program when you wanted to assign another pointer to the same memory, the following illustrates both methods:
int* ptr1 = new int[10];
Declare ptr1, allocate memory in the heap, make ptr1 point to the newly allocated memory.
int* ptr2; ptr2 = ptr1;
Assuming ptr1 still points to the memory allocated in the previous example, you can now assign ptr2 to ptr1, however they are independent of each other, they just both point to the same memory.
I said before that memory placed in the heap is not automatically deleted when the program ends so you have to manually delete memory using the delete keyword.
delete []ptr2;
The delete keyword deletes all memory tied to the pointer. The [] means that you want to delete all of the memory not just the first address (or whatever address) ptr2 is pointing too. If ptr2 did not point to an array, and just a single int, you would not have to use the []'s.
int myint = new int; delete myint; //No brackets for a single peice of data
We don't have to delete pt1 because they both point to the same memory, however when your pointers are idle or don't point to anything, it is a good idea to set them to NULL so that they don't point to random addresses in memory.
ptr1 = NULL; ptr2 = NULL;
memcpy(...) - Application of pointers
Whew, now that we have gotten past the enigma of pointers, let's take a look at an application of them. At the same time we will introduce the memcpy() function
The following function searches through a string for a sequence of characters, once it is found, the position of that sequence in the string is returned as an integer, or -1 if the characters were not found.
Let's say the string we are looking for the character sequence in is "Dark_Nexus" and we are looking for "ex".
int FirstInstanceOf(const char* str,const char* control) { int pos = 0; int len = STRLEN(control); char* buffer = new char[len + 1]; do { memcpy(buffer,str + pos,len); buffer[len] = '\0'; if (CMPSTR(buffer,control)) { delete []buffer; return pos; } } while (str[(len + (++pos)) - 1]); delete []buffer; return -1; }
Let's look at this line by line...
In this function, the keyword const appears in the parameters. This means I won't be able to change the memory that the pointers point too as we are taking them as a constants. This is just safe programming because this function only needs to look, not touch.
char* str is the string which we want to look through
char* control is the string we are looking for within str, or the control
Next, int pos is set to 0. pos will keep track of where we are at in the string, the head of the string being 0. int len is used to store the length of control, we will need to know how many characters are in the control so that we only compare that many characters at once.
The next line allocates memory in the heap of type char. It will make room for len + 1 characters, or the length of our control string + 1. The + 1 is there so we can append a null-terminating character to the end of the string: \0.
Before we look at what the do loop does, let's have a look at that while statement. Remember you can access the value of a pointer with []'s, which is what we do here. str[(len + (++pos)) - 1] . if len = 2 (because control was "ex") and pos starts at 0, it will make sure there is a value (not \0) at str[1] for the first loop. This looks ahead to make sure we don't start checking the wrong memory.
In the loop, the first line uses memcpy(...). memcpy(), or memory copy, takes 3 parameters: destination, source, and how many characters to copy.
memcpy(buffer,str + pos,len);
The destination is buffer, and the source is str + pos, for the first loop pos is 0 the source for the copy will start at str + 0, or the head of the string (for the next loop iteration pos would be 1, so the source for the copy of that iteration would start at str + 1, or "arK_Nexus"). Finally, the count parameter is set to len, in this case len is 2 so it will only copy 2 characters fromstr + pos to buffer.
-First iteration of the loop
pos = 0;
str + pos = Dark_Nexus;
After memcpy() the memory pointed to by buffer would be "Da"
-Second iteration of the loop
pos = 1 (because of ++p at the end)
str + pos = arK_Nexus
After the memcpy() the memory pointed to by buffer would be "ar"
The next line of code appends a null-terminating character to buffer at position len. In this example len is 2: buffer[2] = '\0'. Remember that when we allocated memory for buffer, it was len + 1, or 3
The next line simply compares buffer against control, if they are the same, then we delete the memory tied to buffer, because we no longer need to use it.
delete []buffer;
And finally return pos, or the position of control in str, starting at 0.
So control (ex) is found at position 6, which is what the function returns.

I'd like to point out some facts in defense of Ruiz, who's gotten a couple of unfair "snarky articles" written about him regarding how many teams he's played with and how long he's been in the minors.
The fact is Randy has been through 9 organizations including the Blue Jays. However, what is important to note is 8 of those organizations were national league teams who don't have space for a designated hitter. The other point is Randy was behind some pretty good first baseman in some of those organizations including Ryan Howard, Joey Votto and Jason Giambi.
The other point about Ruiz is, he has proven he can hit, hit for power and drive in runs. He can hit both left and right handed pitching, he also hits well with risp.
In addition, he's 31, a hard core veteran who obviously knows this is likely his last chance to play in the majors. I'm not sure any of us would ride those buses for 10 years to chase the dream, I know I wouldn't.
In other words, he's damn motivated to make it. Right now he's hitting .353/.353/.706. Why don't we try him out in the 4th hole, he's got more experience hitting in that position than anyone on this team. If he works out, we have ourselves a low cost high producing designated hitter, if he doesn't, he doesn't and we've lost nothing.
IMO, I'd rather have a highly motivated guy like this, than an over paid older DH (like Millar) who's already made his coin and in the serious down side of his career.
When I saw the line-up, I thought why isn't Ruiz hitting 4th? I'm not particularly a Millar fan, but understand that he should provide some bench strength.
Possibly Ruiz is batting behind Ver-none to get him some better pitches to hit. It is about time for Wells to get hot anyway.
Ruiz as a first baseman has certainly been handicapped by playing first base, where you are expected to be a good hitter with some pop, but what I don't get is why he hasn't stayed in one place for long. Surely he hit well enough to be kept around in case somebody was injured.
Of course, he will fit right in with the Jays now that they have fired the fastest man on the team, and the second fastest isn't hitting. They need all the RBI guys they can get, because they sure can't steal bases any more.

Halfmoon artist known for 'Star Trek' action figures wins design competition for statue of Troy's first mayor
Action-figure artist wins Pawling statute competition
Two dreams moved a step closer to becoming reality Tuesday when the contract was signed to commission a statue of Col. Albert Pawling, the city's first mayor.
Adam J. Sanzone, a 21-year-old UAlbany history major, is realizing his ambition to honor Pawling, and sculptor Patrick Pigott, 51, of Halfmoon, is working to achieve his goal to create a classic bronze sculpture.
"This is probably the most exciting project I have embarked on," Pigott said.
Pigott was chosen after a selection process that saw 11 sculptors from across the country compete to create the Pawling memorial.
Pigott has designed action figures and collectibles based on characters from films and television shows such as "Star Wars" and "Star Trek." At one point, he said, he designed 30 percent of Burger King's toys.
Compared to those works, which stand 18 inches or smaller, the Pawling statue will allow Pigott, a classically trained artist and sculptor, to work on a much grander scale. His vision calls for a 10-foot-tall memorial — a 7-foot bronze statue standing on a 3-foot-tall granite base — that will be placed at the intersection of Pawling Avenue and Congress Street.
A drawing depicting the statue was unveiled Tuesday at the Rensselaer County Court House.
The statue will be within sight of Pawling's grave in Old Mount Ida Cemetery. Sanzone dreamed of the project while he was a 16-year-old student at Troy High School. A history buff, he had visited Pawling's grave and used to walk by it on his way to school. "I just thought it would be important to do," Sanzone said.
Sanzone went to Rensselaer County Legislator Gary Pavlic, D-Troy, to urge him to get the Pawling statue erected. Pavlic said he in turn told Sanzone to lead the effort.
They ended up as co-chairmen of the Col. Albert Pawling Memorial Statue Committee.
Pawling became the city's first mayor on April 15, 1816. He served as a colonel in the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War. "Let's keep the history alive of the individual who contributed so much," said Mayor Lou Rosamilia, the city's 59th leader.
The committee is raising $70,000 to complete the memorial in time for Pawling's bicentennial as mayor in 2016. A fund raiser will be held Thursday at Councilman Ken Zalewski's home.

Caring For Luna Moth Caterpillars
Originally Posted on July 23, 2012 by butterflylady
Of all the North American silk moths (Saturnidae) my favorite is the pale green "luna moth" (Actias luna) . When all goes well with weather and everything else that could go wrong for the moths and their young, Lunas will emerge (eclose) from their silken cocoons in the Spring, mate, and lay eggs. The eggs will hatch into tiny caterpillars, which will feed eagerly, and grow rapidly, reaching full growth by mid-summer. At that point they spin their own cocoons to begin the amazing change we call "metamorphosis" , by which they will become new Luna moths. Within a few weeks these late summer moths will have left their cocoons, found mates and repeated the entire cycle of life all over again. This second generation will cocoon in the Fall of the year, to emerge in the following Spring. In our captive breeding program this second brood spends the winter as cocoons in the spare refrigerator we keep downstairs. Kept in plastic food safe boxes at a constant 38-40 degrees they rest until the weather outdoors is warm enough to signal the time to come out , mate, and begin the whole cycle of life again. I never tire of watching this miracle unfold , although it entails much work on my part. Cages have to be cleaned, the correct food gathered and fed, and caterpillars continually watched for any sign of disease.
This year the cocoons were taken out of the " frig " and put into the large "emerging cage" about three weeks after Easter, on May first; and the moths began to eclose a few weeks later, on May 27th. That day, a lovely female emerged, and was put into the breeding cage after dark. The breeding cage is a cylindrical cage made of wire mesh with spaces large enough to permit the male to put his abdomen through for breeding, but not large enough to allow the female to escape. I set the cage on the table on my open back porch and checked on it every few hours over night to see if the female attracted any suitors. When checked at 12:24 A.M.there was no activity, but an hour later one male was mating with her and another flying around trying to get in on the action. The female attracts potential mates by emitting a pheromone, which males can detect from a mile or more away, and which is a powerful sexual attractant to males of her species. Once the two are attached, they remain so for up to 24 hours. After draping a towel loosely over cage and moths to protect them from hungry birds, I moved all to a quiet part of the porch and waited for them to separate. They did so the following evening, and the male flew off in search of another girlfriend. The female I put into a paper bag for a dark and quiet place for egg laying. After a day of laying eggs for me to raise, she was released to fly off in search of a suitable host plant on which to deposit her remaining eggs. These large moths may lay hundreds of eggs, most of which serve to provide food for birds and other wild creatures. I have heard estimates that only ten percent of moth eggs will go on to hatch and reach full adulthood. My own experience of releasing caterpillars on a small pecan sapling and observing the steady decline in numbers suggests the true survival may be much below that ten percent figure.
The eggs laid in the paper bag, plus what I found in the breeding cage ,were gently removed and placed in several plastic sandwich tubs to await hatching. Ten days later the first hatchlings were seen. I kept the first three days of hatchlings and put the rest of the eggs on to a suitable host plant ( pecan tree ) , not wanting the larvae I would be raising to differ too much in size. During the first week or so after hatching the larvae are so tiny they can be kept in the sandwich tubs , but the remaining eggs in each tub must be removed to other tubs until they hatch. At this size, the only food that should be provided is small pieces of the chosen leaf. Also, the lids of the tubs should be on tight , since the main danger at this point is dehydration. They will have plenty of air. No need to provide ventilation. The caterpillars will have eaten some of the shells of their eggs and have tiny stomachs, but should begin eating the leaves within twenty four hours. The first evidence that they are feeding may be little black dots on the bottom of the tub –caterpillar "frass". Yes, that's what we call insect "poop"!
It's very important, as the cats grow, to keep the tubs clean. The babies eat constantly and produce an awesome amount of frass. I generally find it necessary to clean containers and provide fresh food twice a day. As they grow larger, of course, larger quarters must be provided. Overcrowding produces stress, which lowers resistance to disease. An old aquarium with a well fitted lid can suffice, or a plastic storage tub with a cover will work. If I have a large number of large caterpillars, I use a cage I made myself with plywood and screening.
Sooner or later, of course, the babies reach full size and begin to spin cocoons. That's what my present caterpillars are doing now, and I'm breathing a sigh of relief. Now I can relax for a few weeks, or at least until the next generation begins to emerge and start the whole cycle over again. Considering the amount of work involved, I'm often asked why I am willing to do this each year. The answer is simply that it gives me such pleasure to play some small part in one of God's awesome wonders, the turning of a crawling creature, intent only on eating, into a lovely, winged being. Then, there is the symbolism of His turning a self-centered human into a new creation through faith in Christ.
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away, behold, all things have become new." II Corinthians 5:17

Where is China in the Sentiment Cycle?
China has been headline news once again following the mini-devaluation of its currency as the government attempts to prevent its economy slowing further; volatility in financial markets has risen, but what happens now and how should investors react?
Source: Schroders. For illustrative purposes only.
China's Sentiment Cycle
According to latest figures growth in China is slowing. Given China is the world's second largest economy and global growth remains sluggish at best, investor uncertainty has risen and as a result markets around the globe have corrected.
As an investor, deciding on your next move can be difficult, will markets rebound or continue to fall? Is the worst over or is there more pain to come?
In times like these, crunching the numbers and looking at the economic data can be useful, but if the numbers only reflect reality it can be hard for investors to make a decision.
Another approach is look at China through the prism of the Sentiment Cycle.
The infographic above shows how China has moved round the cycle. Based on this analysis China has further to go before investors can buy with confidence.
How close is China to capitulation?
Investors should buy assets as they emerge from "Out of Fashion" and sell as they enter "Blind Faith".
China is currently in the "Acceptance" phase of the cycle. "Capitulation" hasn't been seen and the economy may spend years in "Out of Fashion" before a new bull market starts.

We are avoiding Chinese assets and other assets which are dependent on the Chinese economy.
China in "Out of Fashion" was characterised by the Tiananmen Square protest of 1989, the 1993 devaluation and the Asian crisis in 1997.
The evolution of China's economy
Since then the economy has changed beyond recognition, as the reforms of the 1990s started to pay dividends, enabling the move into "Early Adoption".
The strong growth between 2002 and 2007 allowed China to move through the positive sections of the Cycle.
Faith in the economy's ability to withstand shocks was cemented with the rapid recovery following the Global Financial Crisis (GFC).
The successful navigation of a crisis is often the last event before entering "Blind Faith". Investors started to accept Chinese growth forecasts as fact, without question.
They have forgotten it was the reforms of the 1990s that set the stage for the years of prosperity and not a new found ability to generate growth by saying "GDP will be 7%".
Investors have yet to give up on China completely and importantly it needs to spend time in 'Out of Fashion' while the excesses are unwound.
This "Blind Faith" conditions investors to ignore the warning signs, such as the build up in credit (which generated the post-GFC recovery), until asset prices fall too much to be ignored.
Commodities were the first asset to respond to Chinese economy weakness and moved investors into the "Acknowledgement" area.
However, it was not until the stockmarket fall in mid 2015 and the mini currency devaluation of August this year that investors recognised fundamentals have changed.
Where next for China?
The stages of the Cycle are proportional to each other in time, although there is no exact relationship.
China took 10 years to move from "Out of Fashion" to "New Paradigm" and has since taken seven years to reach "Acceptance".
Investors have yet to give up on China completely and importantly it needs to spend time in "Out of Fashion" while the excesses are unwound.
We are avoiding Chinese assets and other assets which are dependent on the Chinese economy.
This can be achieved quickly with bankruptcies and reform, or much more slowly by propping up failing institutions with endless supplies of new credit.
The latter is less harmful in the short-term and is probably more politically acceptable but will be painfully slow. Whichever route is chosen, from a sentiment perspective, China is not out of the woods yet.

Keratitis refers to an
inflammation of the
cornea. Infection of the cornea is called infectious
keratitis. It is the most serious complication of contact lens wear and can
cause blindness.
Bacterial keratitis is the most common type of
infectious keratitis. Overall, bacterial keratitis is among the least frequent
complications of wearing contacts. But it is much more common in people who wear the lenses
Even though the Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) has approved some extended-wear lenses for 30-day use, many eye doctors
recommend that people remove them every day.
In rare cases, viruses and fungi may
cause keratitis. A germ that is often present in tap water causes a form of
keratitis that is increasingly seen in contact lens wearers, especially those
with soft lenses.
Noninfectious causes of keratitis in contact
lens wearers include:
If you wear contact lenses and you have a painful, red eye,
you may have infectious keratitis. Remove your lenses, and call your doctor
immediately. You'll need antibiotic eyedrops to help treat the infection. Symptoms of bacterial keratitis may include:

AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Feb. 8 (UPI) -- Greg Monroe was one of three Detroit players to reach 20 points Friday, a balanced effort that brought Detroit a 119-109 triumph over San Antonio.
The Spurs had an 11-game winning streak halted by a team that had lost its previous three outings.
Monroe scored 26 points and claimed 16 rebounds, helping the Pistons to a 13-point halftime lead. Brandon Knight added 24 points and Charlie Villanueva provided 21 points off the bench.
Detroit shot 51 percent from the field and outrebounded the Spurs by 16.
Tony Parker led San Antonio with 31 points and eight assists. The Spurs had not lost since Jan. 11 at Memphis.
San Antonio played without center Tim Duncan, who sat out with sore knees and ankles. Manu Ginobili also missed his third straight game with a hamstring strain.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. - Santa Clara women's basketball assistant coach Tanya Nash was named the new women's basketball head coach at the University of Minnesota-Duluth on Wednesday afternoon. It is the first head coaching job of Nash's coaching career after spending seven seasons as an assistant coach, the previous four at Santa Clara.
Nash, 32, succeeds interim head coach Dave Stromme, who oversaw a Bulldogs squad that went 15-14 (5-7 North Central Conference) in 2006-07. Minnesota-Duluth joined the NCC three seasons ago, and has made eight NCAA Division II Tournament appearances total, and six in the last nine years, most recently in 2004-05
"I am very excited about leading the University of Minnesota-Duluth Bulldogs, it is an incredible opportunity with a program that has a strong tradition in women's basketball," Nash said. "Minnesota-Duluth has the potential to be one of the best teams in the nation at the Division II level. I am anxious to get started."
Nash spent the previous four seasons as the top assistant coach on Michelle Bento-Jackson's staff at Santa Clara, and before that, spent three seasons as an assistant at Drake University, and one at her alma mater, the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire.
At Santa Clara, she helped guide the Broncos to a West Coast Conference Tournament title and NCAA Tournament appearance in 2004-05, and to a West Coast Conference regular-season title and WNIT appearance in 2005-06. During the past four seasons, the Broncos were also one of the most prolific three-point shooting teams in the nation.
"Tanya has been a vital part of our coaching staff and to the success of our program these last four seasons, and while we are sad to see her go, we are excited for the opportunity she has earned at Minnesota-Duluth," said Santa Clara head coach Michelle Bento-Jackson. "We wish her the best of luck and know that she will lead the Bulldogs to success."
"I am so grateful to Michelle Bento-Jackson for the opportunity to be a part of the women's basketball program and the Bronco family for the past four years here," said Nash. "I can't say enough about my experiences here and the young ladies I have coached here. I will definitely miss everyone in the Santa Clara community."

Salone del Gusto and Terra Madre, Slow Food's biennial international food fair and sustainability conference concluded last week in Turin, Italy. This year, the event was attended by Slow Food Urban San Diego's Co-Leader, Candice Woo and the chapter's Co-Founder, Donna McLoughlin, who were among the 200,000+ attendees - including Slow Food leaders, activists, educators and farmers - who participated in educational sessions focused on animal welfare, health, social issues and food waste and attended taste workshops featuring wine, craft beer, cheese and artisan food. Among the speakers at the event's opening ceremony were Alice Waters, Slow Food's vice president, famed restaurateur and founder of the Edible Schoolyard and Nikki Henderson, Executive Director of the People's Grocery in Oakland.
The week in Turin also hosted the International Congress, a global Slow Food gathering of 650 delegates from 95 different countries, including two delegates from Southern California. The key event purpose was to help define the future of the organization and was led by Carlo Petrini, the founder of Slow Food and the non profit's current president, who was re-elected for another term. Petrini spoke about his next goals for Slow Food, or "Slow Food 2.0", including increasing the number of food gardens being created by Slow Food chapters in Africa, expanding the work to protect biodiversity of food products around the world and growing Slow Food's network, which is currently comprised of 1,500 international chapters.
Speakers from countries across the globe, including China, Israel, Brazil and Somalia, gave presentations on issues concerning their local food communities and U.S. delegate Michael Dimock, Slow Food Russian River founder and President of Roots of Change, proposed a motion and received the delegation's support of the goal of Proposition 37, the Label GMO ballot initiative in California, which Slow Food Urban San Diego also supports.

A recent survey shows that most dog owners polled believe they can communicate with canines better than their human friends.
No big surprise here.
Dogs are probably the most accommodating animals in the world. Friends? Just try to get a buddy to fetch your slippers.
According to the survey, done by Kelton Research for the dog snack Pup-Peroni, 74 percent of dog owners surveyed said their canine's body language or facial expressions let them know how their pet is feeling.
Seventy percent believe they have "shared a look" with Fido.
Nearly half are convinced they know exactly what their pet is thinking and more than a third say they've had an entire conversation with their hounds without saying anything.

Political conventions have little practical purpose in modern American politics, but still have symbolic impact. The two major political parties spend years and millions of dollars to project images of unity, purpose, and especially patriotism. The main motif for the event is the American flag, and the color scheme is Red, White, and Blue.
Well, usually … except when it's Magenta, Cream, and Cerulean. Earlier, Michelle took some pictures of the Pepsi Center podium for the DNCC, and the color scheme looked rather strange:
The colors in this design bear only a small resemblance to the colors in the American flag. Sure, you can call them red, white, and blue, but they're pastels of each color family. It's not exacly a strong representation for the usual theme.
Just in case Michelle's camera malfunctioned, I checked out the Denver Post, and …. well ….
Not much better, is it? It looks even more strangely garish at the official convention site:
It looks like an Academy Award show — loud, ugly, and misshapen. The speakers will get lost in all of that overdesign, even without the odd color scheme.
Contrast that — literally and figuratively — with the Republican color scheme and presentation:
In terms of symbolic power and resonance, the GOP has clearly remained with tradition, opting for strong, authentic colors. The Democrats' pastel offering may symbolize something, but it's neither tradition nor strength.
Update: Courtesy of the comments section, here's Ronald Reagan at the 1976 Republican Convention:
Whether it is different this time than it has ever been before, I believe the Republican Party has a platform that is a banner of bold, unmistakable colors, with no pastel shades.
We have just heard a call to arms based on that platform, and a call to us to really be successful in communicating and reveal to the American people the difference between this platform and the platform of the opposing party, which is nothing but a revamp and a reissue and a running of a late, late show of the thing that we have been hearing from them for the last 40 years.
Update II: I'm not the only one who noticed the chaotic nature of the Democratic design. Kate Phillips at the New York Times advises … sunglasses:
The differences couldn't be more stark. You may need to wear your sunglasses indoors at the Democratic convention to mute the eye-popping colors. And while the cameras will surely zoom in on each evening's speakers, the speakers on the stage will seem invariably dwarfed by the overshadowing backdrop. Someone already likened it to a game-show stage; get ready to call your lifeline for concentration.
The Republican stage, on the other hand, was designed to capture the intimate settings Senator John McCain enjoys when he talks to voters in town hall settings, according to convention plans. It's not that high off the main floor of the arena, and its drama may be in its simplicity. And using the enormous American flag as its background serves as an echo of the campaign and convention motto, "Country First."
It's almost as if the Democrats wanted to distract viewers ….

Directory Proxy Server continuously monitors data sources to determine whether they are alive and to detect failed connections. This section describes how Directory Proxy Server monitors data sources, and what action is taken when data sources fail.
Directory Proxy Server performs the following tests to monitor the health of a data source:
Listens for errors on the traffic between Directory Proxy Server and the data source
Periodically establishes a dedicated connection to the data source if there is no traffic from that data source for a specified time interval
Periodically pings each existing connection to each data source to prevent that connection from being closed and to detect closed connections
These tests are described in the following sections.
When this type of monitoring is configured, Directory Proxy Server listens for errors on the traffic between itself and the data source. If Directory Proxy Server detects that a client operation fails, the proxy tests the data source related to the failure.
This type of monitoring is called reactive monitoring because Directory Proxy Server reacts to an error, but otherwise performs no active testing of the data sources.
Directory Proxy Server can be configured to perform this type of reactive monitoring only, without performing the monitoring described in Monitoring Data Sources by Periodically Establishing Dedicated Connections and Monitoring Data Sources by Testing Established Connections. When only reactive monitoring is configured, the monitoring less complete but does not cause additional traffic.
When this type of monitoring is configured, Directory Proxy Server establishes a dedicated connection to a data source when no requests made to the data source or responses given by the data source for a specified time period. By periodically establishing a dedicated connection to a data source, Directory Proxy Server monitors whether the data source is working.
This type of monitoring is more complete than Monitoring a Data Source by Listening for Errors because Directory Proxy Server does not wait to detect a failure before it tests the data source. However, this type of monitoring is less complete than Monitoring Data Sources by Testing Established Connections, because the proxy does not test whether the existing connections to a data source are working.
This type of monitoring can be used in addition to Monitoring Data Sources by Testing Established Connections.
When this type of monitoring is configured, Directory Proxy Server tests each connection to each data source at regular intervals. In this way, the proxy prevents connections from being dropped because of inactivity, and detects closed connections.
This type of monitoring can be used in addition to Monitoring Data Sources by Periodically Establishing Dedicated Connections.
Directory Proxy Server can be configured to test connections in the following scenarios:
Pooled connections that are not used for a period of time
Connections for persistent searches that are not active for a period of time
Connections between a client and Directory Proxy Server operating in tunneling mode
Testing established connections consumes system resources, but it provides good security for connections. If you are using the Active Directory product, you must use this method of monitoring because the Active Directory product closes inactive connections.
To test an established connection, Directory Proxy Server issues a search request with the following parameters:
Search base DN
Connection time out
Search time out
Search filter
If a connection is found to be down, Directory Proxy Server polls the connection at a specified interval to detect its recovery. You can configure this interval by setting the down-monitoring-interval property. For more information, see To Monitor a Data Source by Testing Established Connections in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administration Guide for Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition.
Directory Proxy Server monitors data sources by using a search filter. Data sources that return a result that satisfies the filter are considered to be working.
When Directory Proxy Server detects an error on a connection, the proxy closes the connection and tries to reestablish the connection immediately. If the proxy can reestablish the connection, it considers the data source to be up and running. If the proxy cannot reestablish the connection, it flags the data source as unavailable. Directory Proxy Server stops distributing requests to the data source and closes all other connections to the data source.
If a request fails because of a failed connection or a failed data source, Directory Proxy Server replays the request over another connection to the same data source or replays the request to another data source. If the request is replayed to another data source, the load balancing algorithm determines which data source is used.
If there are no data sources to which Directory Proxy Server can replay the request, the proxy returns an error to the client.
Replaying the request enables the failure to be transparent to the client. Requests are replayed for the following operations:
Requests are not replayed for write operations because Directory Proxy Server cannot be sure whether the operation was performed before the connection failure occurred.
When a data source recovers after a being unavailable, Directory Proxy Server returns the data source to the list of candidate data sources. The work that was being carried out by the other candidate data sources is redistributed to include this data source, according to the load balancing algorithm.
When the failed data source recovers, Directory Proxy Server recommences monitoring the traffic between the data sources and their clients.

Game 121: Los Angeles at Toronto
Friendly neighbourhood Blue Jays associate reporter Erika Gilbert here, filling in for Jordan while he gets a couple of days off.
On Snider's spot in the lineup:
Travis Snider is hitting ninth again today, after batting sixth on Friday.
When Snider got out to a hot start to the season, a lot of fans were hoping he'd get moved up from ninth in the batting order. Given the type of hitter he's expected to be down the line, a spot in the middle of the order seems to be in his future.
Cito Gaston wanted to keep Snider in the nine-hole, though. He didn't want Snider to feel any extra pressure.
Snider was finally moved up yesterday, batting sixth for the first time. Given what Cito had to say about the change in the order in yesterday's pre-game chat with reporters, it's not really surprising that Snider's back hitting ninth.
"It's actually out of necessity — more that than anything else," Gaston said. "We could use an extra bat up here in the middle of that lineup to do
some damage. It's not the fact of what I said earlier [taking the pressure off] because if we had
the same lineup here he'd probably be hitting ninth, but we don't have
the same lineup anymore. [Scott] Rolen's not here, and [Alex] Rios is not here, so that
changes things a little bit too."
Raul Chavez was in the lineup yesterday, and Rod Barajas is catching today. Here's what Cito had to say about the bottom of the order:
"Today with the lineup with Barajas back in there… it's just a choice for me, moving back down there so we have some speed back there. [Snider] didn't do anything wrong to be put back down there. It'd be the same thing if I put Barajas hitting ninth — he just hit fourth the other day. You plummet real quick don't you?"
Some notes on playing time:
-Jose Bautista has gotten a little less playing time since Rolen was traded, since Bautista used to fill in when the team played day games after night games. Cito said Bautista will probably be getting more playing time down the stretch than he has since the Edwin Encarnacion era began.
-Cito on the catching situation: "We might bring another catcher [in September]. The biggest thing with Barajas is he is a free agent. I want to make sure he gets some playing time in, but also maybe play Chavez a little bit going down to the end. Next month is one off day … so he'll probably play a little bit more."

"The biggest thing with Barajas is he is a free agent. I want to make sure he gets some playing time in, but also maybe play Chavez a little bit going down to the end. "
Now, I know that Cito has a lot of loyalty to the players, which is one of his stronger points as a manager, HOWEVER, playing Barajas and Chavez a lot down the stretch so they can get good contracts next year does not help The Blue Jays-in fact it hurts them.
What helps the Jays is bringing up Arrencibia, play him everyday and acclimatized him to MLB. If we do that and send him to the AFL, he should be good to go next spring.
We've paid Barajas and Chavez and I'd personally like to see one of them come back for one year-but, no more than that. My preference would be Chavez, because he plays a similar defense as Arrencibia-strong arm and all.
The Jays future is Arrencibia and the sooner he gets here, the sooner we contend again. Last time I checked, we're not a country club with a mission of improving players salary's with their next team. We should all remember how Barajas treated the Jays in 2008.

We've also included links to other helpful sites. If you have questions or concerns that are not covered we encourage you to discuss them with the Financial Aid Office; we are here to help. We can be reached at: (585) 275-4523, or via email at: email@example.com. Financing Medical Education at the University of Rochester Medical Center About 67% of our students finance their medical education through the use of low-cost student loans. A variety of debt management services are provided, designed to support decision-making from the beginning to the end of training and, indeed, through the entire repayment process. While eligibility for the lowest cost loans is based on financial need, it is possible to finance the entire cost of medical education through loans as long as one has no bad credit history. We recommend that students check their personal credit records prior to entering medical school. Approximately 47% of the students who borrow also receive institutional scholarships to reduce reliance on debt. Financial need is not a factor in admissions decisions and the Financial Aid Office works hard to assure scholarship distribution policies that minimize the possibility that admitted applicants' socioeconomic backgrounds might adversely influence their matriculation decisions. Students seeking scholarships are required to provide parental financial information, and eligibility for institutional funds is based on the analysis of student and parent circumstances.

A urethrocele is a form of pelvic organ prolapse in women in which
the urethra—the tube that carries urine from the bladder to outside of the
body—moves from its natural position and presses against the vaginal wall. This
occurs when tissues and muscles that hold the urethra in place stretch or
A woman can develop a urethrocele if her pelvic muscles become
damaged from pregnancy, labor, childbirth, or a previous pelvic surgery. These
muscles may also weaken with age. In rare cases, a urethrocele can be present at birth
A woman who has a urethrocele may leak urine, especially when she
coughs, laughs, or jumps. This leakage is a condition known as incontinence. A
woman may also have difficulty emptying her bladder, which can lead to a
bladder infection (cystitis).
Many women with this condition do not have symptoms and do not need
treatment. If symptoms occur, exercises to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles,
called Kegel exercises, may help. Kegel exercises involve repeatedly
contracting and releasing the muscles that control urine flow. Sometimes a
woman who has a urethrocele needs surgery.

McLaren may have thought they were oh so clever outlining their upcoming P12 superfatastiwonderhypercrazycar with rays of light this morning. They were actually giving us all the tools we needed to see the car in full.
Jalopnik reader DasWauto just had to trace the lines in the teaser image and shade in the details for us to see what the successor to the F1 will look like.
You can see how the headlights flow into a scoop aping the company's 'swoosh' logo. McLaren loves doing that, and points out how the 12C's headlights have the same little swoosh at every opportunity.
We can also see the humongous side scoops. It's possible that the lower sections will be blocked off, as they are on the Carrera GT, but they're going to be big either way.
The pinched Ferrari F50/Ford GT40-esque hood vents are clearer now as well, along with the cockpit and rear fenders shaped like the old Mazda Furai.
You might as well, just show us the whole car at this point McLaren, there's no point in trying to cover it up anymore.
(Hat tip to DasWauto for the excellent sketches!)

Gunship III v3.0.3 Apk | 165 MB | Mediafire
Requires Android:2.1 and up
Game Review:
Immerse yourself into the mist of the Vietnam war as an US helicopter pilot.
Be part of the new air mobility tactic which helicopters are heavily used to insert troops into battles, transport supplies and weapons to the most remote outposts or dangerous low level Hunter-Killer missions.
Not like other flight sim games for mobile devices, in Gunship-III the cockpit is highly simulated with ultra-realistic 3D cockpit, full function dashboard, realistic sound effects and all moving parts.
Flight characteristics are also highly accurate thanks to the Blade element theory. Wings are breaking down into several small parts and then determined the forces on each of these small elements. These forces are then integrated along the entire wing in order to obtain the forces and moments produced by the entire wing. This results in a highly dynamic, accurate flight model for each specified aircraft.
Even though helicopter controls are simplified and stabilized, you still could do many advanced maneuver such as AutoRotation, Trade airspeed for high, coming hot and flare for landing, etc.
You could even feel all the forces affect the pilot body with the pilot head effect which could only found in high-end flight simulator for PC.
Graphics are highly detail for city, jungle, airbases. Each map features 200×200 kilometers flyable area. In Gunship-III everything is in real scale, each city has thousand of trees and houses.
In Gunship-III, you have more aircraft available to play more than any other games. We're working hard to bring even more aircraft and ground vehicles as well in coming up updates.
Weapon systems in Gunship-III are also highly detail and accurate with real recorded sounds, high fire rate for minigun as well explosion effect for bomb and rocket.
In Gunship-III, you'll never fly alone. Each mission features many AI aircrafts that will join your mission and perform many advanced tasks such as Close Air Support, Escort, Patrol and Transport.
And just like real gunship helicopter, you will have AI gunners onboard who will shoot at anything firing at them and make sure nothing could touch your aircraft.
The enemy is also aggressive and fearless, they only shoot at you when you get close and be aware of those RPG, they sure take an aircraft down just by one hit.
Overall, Gunship-III is an advanced Vietnam War flight combat simulation game with many features are now first time available for mobile gaming.
- AI aircraft performance advanced combat tasks.
- 360 3D cockpit view with zoom.
- Fully functioning cockpit avionics.
- Pilot G visual effects.
- Auto pilot for long flight.
- Weapon system: minigun, rocket, smoke grenade…
- Details graphics with cities, trees, ground troop on a vast 200×200 km map.
- Five realistic and detailed Vietnam War missions including: Troop transport, Hunter-Killer, Forward Air Controller, heavy equipment transport and more coming soon.
- Full version features 7 flyable helicopters: H-19 Chickasaw, H-34 Choctaw, CH-47 Chinook, UH-1D Huey, OH-6A Cayuse, UH-1B Huey Gunship, AH-1G Cobra and more coming soon.
What's in this version :
- Add mission 7 and A-1 Skyraider
- New Pleiku Airbase and map
