The Lost Weekend is a 1945 film about a four-day drinking bout in the desperate life of a chronic alcoholic.
The Screen Dares To Open The Strange And Savage Pages Of A Shocking Best-Seller! taglines
- Directed by Billy Wilder. Written by Charles Brackett and Billy Wilder, based on the novel by Charles R. Jackson.
Don Birnam
- It shrinks my liver, doesn't it, Nat? It pickles my kidneys, yes. But what does it do to my mind? It tosses the sandbags overboard so the balloon can soar. Suddenly, I'm above the ordinary. I'm competent, supremely competent. I'm walking a tightrope over Niagara Falls. I'm one of the great ones. I'm Michelangelo, molding the beard of Moses. I'm Van Gogh, painting pure sunlight. I'm Horowitz, playing the Emperor Concerto. I'm John Barrymore before the movies got him by the throat. I'm Jesse James and his two brothers — all three of 'em. I'm W. Shakespeare. And out there it's not Third Avenue any longer: it's the Nile, Nat, the Nile — and down it moves the barge of Cleopatra.
"Bim" Nolan
- If we let you guys go home alone, a lot of you don't go home. You just hit the nearest bar and bounce right back again. What we call the quick ricochet... This department is sort of a halfway hospital, halfway jail... Listen, I can pick an alkie with one eye shut. You're an alkie. You'll come back. They all do. [gesturing toward other patients] Him, for instance. He shows up every month — just like the gas bill. And the one there with the glasses — another repeater. This is his forty-fifth trip. A big executive in the advertising business. A lovely fellow. Been coming here since 1927 — good ol' Prohibition days. Say, you should have seen the joint then. This is nothing. Back then, we really had a turn-over. Standing-room only. Prohibition. That's what started most of these guys off. Whoopee!
- There'll happen to be a little floor show later on around here. It might get on your nerves... Ever have the DT's?... You will, brother... After all, you're just a freshman. Wait'll you're a sophomore. That's when you start seeing the little animals. You know that stuff about pink elephants? That's the bunk. It's little animals! Little tiny turkeys in straw hats. Midget monkeys coming through the keyholes. See that guy over there? With him it's beetles. Come the night, he sees beetles crawling all over him. Has to be dark though. It's like the doctor was just telling me: delirium is a disease of the night. Good night.
- Don: Let me work it out my way, I'm trying. I'm trying!
- Helen: I know you're trying, Don. We're both trying. You're trying not to drink and I'm trying not to love you.
- Helen: If he's left alone, anything can happen. And I'm tied up at the office every minute, all Saturday, all Sunday. I can't look out for him. You know how he gets. He'll be run over by a car. He'll be arrested. He doesn't know what he's doing. A cigarette might fall from his mouth and he'll burn in bed.
- Wick: If it happens, it happens, and I hope it does. I've had six years of this. I've had my bellyfull... Who are we fooling? We've tried everything, haven't we? We've reasoned with him. We've baited him. We've watched him like a hawk. We've tried trusting him. How often have you cried? How often have I beaten him up? Scrape him out of a gutter and pump some kind of self-respect into him and back he falls, back in every time.
- Helen: He's a sick person. It's as though there was something wrong with his heart or his lungs. You wouldn't walk out on him if he had an attack. He needs our help.
- Wick: He won't accept our help. Not Don. He hates us. He wants to be alone with that bottle of his. It's all he gives a hang about. Why kid ourselves? He's a hopeless alcoholic. Let go of him, Helen. Give yourself a chance.
- Nat: Why don't you cut it short?
- Don: I can't cut it short. I'm on that merry-go-round. You gotta ride it all the way. Round and round until that blasted music wears itself out and the thing dies down and comes to a stop... At night, the stuff's a drink. In the morning, it's medicine... It's a terrifying problem, Nat, because if it's dawn, you're dead. The bars are closed and the liquor stores don't open until nine o'clock and you can't last until nine o'clock. Or maybe Sunday, that's the worst. No liquor stores at all, and you guys wouldn't open a bar, not until one o'clock. Why? WHY, Nat?
- Don: I'm a writer. I just started a novel. As a matter of fact, I've started several but I never seem to finish one.
- Helen: Well, in that case, why don't you write short stories?
- Don: Oh, I have some of those — first paragraphs. And there's one half of the opening scene of a play which takes place in the leaning tower of Pisa that attempts to explain why it leans and why all sensible buildings should lean.
- Helen: They'll love that in Toledo.
- Helen: What is it you want to be so much that you're not?
- Don: A writer. It's silly, isn't it? You know, in college, I passed for a genius. They couldn't get out the college magazine without one of my stories. Boy, was I hot! Hemingway stuff. I reached my peak when I was nineteen. Sold a piece to The Atlantic Monthly. Reprinted in the Reader's Digest... My mother bought me a brand-new typewriter and I moved right in on New York. Well, the first thing I wrote, that didn't quite come off. And the second I dropped — the public wasn't ready for that. I started a third and a fourth. Only by then, somebody began to look over my shoulder and whisper in a thin, clear voice like the E string on a violin. "Don Birnam," he whispered, "It's not good enough, not that way. How about a couple of drinks just to set it on its feet, huh?" So I had a couple. Oh, what a great idea that was! That made all the difference. Suddenly I could see the whole thing. The tragic sweep of the great novel beautifully proportioned. But before I could really grab it and throw it down on paper, the drinks would wear off and everything would be gone like a mirage. Then there was despair, and a drink to counter-balance despair, and then one to counter-balance the counter-balance. I'd sit in front of that typewriter trying to squeeze out one page that was halfway decent and that guy would pop up again... the other Don Birnam. There are two of us, you know. Don the drunk and Don the writer. And the drunk would say to the writer, "Come on, you idiot. Let's get some good out of that portable. Let's hock it. Let's take it to that pawn shop over on Third Avenue. It's always good for ten dollars." Another drink, another binge, another bender, another spree. Such humorous words. I've tried to break away from that guy a lot of times, but no good. You know, once I even got myself a gun and some bullets. I was gonna do it on my thirtieth birthday. Here are the bullets. The gun went for three quarts of whiskey. That other Don wanted us to have a drink first. He always wants us to have a drink first. The flop suicide of a flop writer.

Greece: Hospital probe into bribery-death claim
ATHENS, Greece (AP) — A judicial inquiry is taking place at a state hospital in Athens where a 67-year-old heart patient died after allegedly being denied timely surgery by a doctor seeking a bribe.
Judicial officials in a statement Tuesday said the investigation was ordered Monday, a day after the patient died.
The 59-year-old surgeon and hospital administrator was arrested last week after receiving a payment of 500 euros ($680) from the heart attack victim in an operation monitored by police. He has been changed with bribery and blackmail.
The patient received heart surgery on Saturday but died the following day.
Bribery remains widespread in Greece, which is ranked by the Berlin-based Transparency International watchdog group as one of the most corrupt countries in Europe.

Here's another holiday video from ManiPedi, which debuted at last Sunday's Secret Pants sketch comedy extravaganza, A Banner Year at the Ol' Bender House.
Iceberg, right ahead!
More importantly, the video also raises awareness about depression and misanthropy in Titanic-headed individuals. If you or a family member has a Titanic head, talk to ManiPedi for ways to cope. Listen, all you Titanic heads out there. You're gonna get out of here, you're gonna go on and you're gonna make lots of babies, and you're gonna watch them grow. You're gonna die an old… an old Titanic Head lady warm in her bed, not here, not this night. Not like this, do you understand me? You make your own luck. I mean, you got everything you need right here with you. You got air in your lungs, a few blank sheets of paper. I mean, you love waking up in the morning not knowing what's gonna happen or, who you're gonna meet, where you're gonna wind up. Just the other night you were sleeping under a bridge and now here you are with a head that's the grandest ship in the world, having champagne with us fine people. I figure life's a gift and you shouldn't intend on wasting it. You don't know what hand you're gonna get dealt next. Learn to take life as it comes at you…to make each day count.
You can see ManiPedi LIVE TONIGHT at 'Sideshow Presents: Know When to Leave' at 8pm at the Arts Parlor (1170 S. Broad Street). Admission is $10. BYOB.

9/11 Strike on the Pentagon
Basically, they point out the many anomalies, then also point out that a 757 could have made the hole after all. And I must admit that this is my opinion at this time on the Pentagon hit.
Key quote:
A significant problem with the Pentagon crash, as a motif for use in general public outreach, is that such a wide variety of evidence comports with the conclusion that a 757 impacted the Pentagon on September 11, 2001. Many eyewitnesses reported seeing a 757 approach the Pentagon, and some claimed to see that same aircraft impact the facade. A C-130 cargo plane is also reported to have been flying close behind, which might account for some of the confusion in other eyewitness testimony, or allow for the spawning of ever more alternative scenarios to cover the tracks. Contrary to much of the Internet analysis, the impact hole is also quite possibly consistent with a 757 -- even though it superficially appears to be too small, and if specific questions about the problematic aspects of the damage can be neglected. The light-pole evidence is consistent with a 757 aircraft (if the poles were rearranged by passers-by within seconds of the attack, or if some other reasonable explanation can be found for the odd distribution of the poles) and the "engine fingerprints" appear to require an impact by a twin-engine aircraft with the exact engine spacing of a 757.
On the other hand, the insufficient debris, the official evasiveness and prevarication and the shifting "official story", the eyewitness inconsistencies, the quantum flight path, the shoddy "movie set" appearance of the Pentagon facade, the missile plume and the appearance of explosives (rather than a kerosene fire) in the "security video", and many other aspects, all point to the likelihood of a hoax. Much of the observed physical evidence in the photographs also comports with full demolition, which would have provided orders of magnitude better operational surety of proper completion without the undue risk associated with an impact plane missing its target, either using terrorist hijackers or domestic agent provocateurs.
Although we believe the complexities of such a sham are well within the capabilities of our government's intelligence agencies, with their annual budgets of $70 billion or more -- we must also acknowledge that for most people, the idea that a government bureaucracy could conceive and then carry out such a plot is simply beyond hilarious. Politically, there is a possibility that an emphasis on Pentagon questions will simply be taken as evidence of insanity on the part of the "conspiracy theorists". Is it wise to focus more attention on this Pentagon topic, while there are so many clearly proven, indisputable grounds to show that the US government is acting as a criminal enterprise? There's plenty of room for activists to disagree about issues of emphasis, even among those who would argue that the Pentagon attack was definitely a fraud.
We do hope that we have given our readers an appreciation of the subtle complexities of this case -- and that the possibility of a pyrotechnic "magic show" at the Pentagon will be increasingly recognized by 911 skeptics.

Global Game Jam 2018: Bringing the community into our offices
Every year, we are inspired by the creativity and community focus that comes out of jam sites around the world. This creativity inspired us to host six different jam sites across the world as a way to invite creators into our homes and help them be part of this amazing community event.
This year we wanted to do Global Game Jam bigger and better than we have in the past. We hosted Unity Global Game Jam sites in San Francisco, Helsinki, Seattle, Brighton, Copenhagen, and Shanghai. At these sites, we saw over 450 jammers registered. By the end of the three-day event, we saw over 90 games created and uploaded to our sites alone.
We'll be bringing you more information on what Unity did around the world for Global Game Jam this year, including some project dives from our staff, insight into how our evangelist team brought Unity to sites around the world, and how our student ambassadors hosted sites throughout their campuses.
In the meantime, here is a handful of projects we loved to watch come to fruition at our jam sites throughout the weekend. If you're interested in seeing what is going on in our global offices, make sure to give our Instagram a follow!

This is a list of items Christianna Rampley bought at the estate sale of her husband which took place in Coshocton County, Ohio, in the fall of 1823. Widows having to purchase items from their deceased husband's estate is not uncommon. Christianna purchased the family Bible and prayer book along with a copy of Pilgrim's Progress for 12 1/2 cents. I'm inferring from her purchase of these items and from the facts that there were several other books in the Rampley estate inventory, that the Rampleys were literate. Among the other items Christianna purchased was a loom for $6.00.
She also bought a bottle and glass, a chain trammell, a stone pot and pickles, a bedstead and cord, and a heifer.
I can't quite make out the first item on the list of items she purchased.
Names of purchasers are usually neighbors, family members, and associates. Christianna's son James Rampley purchased items. Her son-in-law, James Shores, bought several items as well. Her brother John Demoss, and fellow native of Harford County, Maryland, Crispin Treadway, also purchased items.
And there is always Google and Google images to get a better idea of what some of these items were.

Lyse Hansen, Thomas; Astrup Jensen, Bjarne (København, 2004)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: It is a delicate matter to trade spot products and financial derivatives in energy markets. Op- posite to bond and stock markets, the underlying assets are real products and a significant part of the demand for them represents a real need for the products, which can only be substituted away with some difficulties or, in some cases, only in a prohibitively costly manner. This is particularly true in the spot market, where the demand is almost always met, but where the spot price processes can be quite different from the spot price processes conventionally used in the pricing of derivatives. This pattern of real demand is also the main reason for the existence of the well-known convenience yield in energy markets. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7185

Abstract: We describe the background and the basic funding mechanisms for the type of adjustable rate mortgage loans that were introduced in the Danish market in 1996. Each loan is funded separately by tap issuing pass-through mortgage bonds ("strict balance principle"). The novelty is a funding mechanism that uses a roll-over strategy, where long term loans are funded by sequentially issuing short term pass-through bonds, and the first issuer of these loans obtained a patent on the funding principles in 1999. Publicly available descriptions of the principles leave an impression of very complicated numerical algorithms. The algorithms described here show that the essentials can be reduced to a "back of an envelope" complexity.

Abstract: We investigate the possibility of an arbitrage free model for the term structure of interest rates where the yield curve only changes through a parallel shift. We consider HJM type forward rate models driven by a multidimensionalWiener process as well as by a general marked point process. Within this general framework we show that there does indeed exist a large variety of nontrivial parallel shift term structure models, and we also describe these in detail. We also show that there exists no nontrivial flat term structure model. The same analysis is repeated for the similar case, where the yield curve only changes through proportional shifts. Key words: bond market, term structure of interest rates, flat term structures. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7137

Over thirty years since it was built, the Loch Ness Monster at Busch Gardens has to be one of the most beloved Arrow creations on the planet. Its signature interlocking loops next to the Rhine River have been a landmark of Busch Gardens Williamsburg for many years. As a kid I remember seeing commercials that featured the two trains lit up with lights, running at night, and looping simultaneously. It was like nothing I (and likely many had never seen). Unfortunately, they don't usually run the ride this way. I asked the park why and I can't remember their answer. If anyone knows, feel free to chime in below.
The steel masterpiece has held up well over the years thanks to Busch's maintenance (which I detailed here in my post on the park's coaster tour). I'm sure Nessie still surprises new riders who have no idea where they're headed as it's pretty tough to see the ride's entire layout thanks to the abundance of trees.
Here's a video that shows the trains looping together:

Before naming the Rotarian Citizen of the Year, Mary McCambridge pointed out that the longtime Loveland volunteer served some prison time.
"But in a good way," added McCambridge, member of the Loveland Rotary Club. "He was a counselor to teenage inmates in the early part of his career in social work."
The Loveland Rotary Club invited Earl Sethre and his wife, Lis, to the Valentine's Day program Tuesday to present him with the annual award.
"This is to honor someone in the community, a non-Rotarian, who demonstrates the four-way test and … who's got the community in mind," said Marvin Morganti, a member of the Rotary Club.
The service club's four-way test asks four questions: Is it the truth? Is it fair to all concerned? Will it build good will and better friendships? Will it be beneficial to all concerned?
Sethre, vice-president of marketing for Jorgensen Labs, stood out to the selection committee because of all of his charitable work and the number of groups he serves, Morganti said.
"The person we are honoring today is a very humble person, tall in stature and does much for the community but in a very quiet way," McCambridge said.
Since 1979, Sethre has been a member of the Loveland Sertoma Club and for 13 years on the board for Pathways Hospice, serving as president for both groups.
He is on the board of directors for the Community Foundation of Northern Colorado and serves on the Loveland Community Fund Committee.
He co-chaired three capital campaigns, two for Pathways Hospice and one for the Rialto Bridge project.
And he volunteers with the House of Neighborly Service to help with the nonprofit's annual golf fundraiser.
"I think it's important to give back," Sethre said. "A person who gives something feels good about it."
Sethre pointed out that Lis recently was honored for her volunteer work by the House of Neighborly Service and the United Way of Larimer County.
"She sets the example," Sethre said. "If your wife is involved in something, it means you're going to be involved, too."
The Rotarians presented Tom Carrigan co-chairman of the Kids Pak weekend food delivery program, with the Paul Harris Fellow award.
"Everyone at Rotary brings their passion," Carrigan said. "For whatever reason, hunger crossed my path."

Brent Crude is the biggest of the many major classifications of oil consisting of Brent Crude, Brent Sweet Light Crude, Oseberg and Forties. Brent Crude is sourced from the North Sea. The Brent Crude oil marker is also known as Brent Blend, London Brent and Brent petroleum. It is used to price two thirds of the world's internationally traded crude oil supplies.
The other well-known classifications (also called references or benchmarks) are the OPEC Reference Basket, Dubai Crude and West Texas Intermediate (WTI).
The name "Brent" comes from the naming policy of Shell UK Exploration and Production, operating on behalf of Exxon and Shell, which originally named all of its fields after birds (in this case the Brent Goose). It also refers to the formation layers—Broom, Rannoch, Etive, Ness and Tarbert, which are named after geographical features—lochs and glens—of the Scottish Highlands).

World has wrongly recognized Afghans: Robert Sampson
World has wrongly recognized Afghans: Robert Sampson
MAZAR-I-SHARIF (Pajhwok): British teacher Robert Sampson says if the world reads Pashtu poetry they will understand the Afghans hate war and love peace.
The 60-year-old teaches English and science at a university in Peshawar, the capital of Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, and is co-translator of "The Poetry of Rahman Baba - Poet of the Pashtuns", a more than 900 pages long volume.
The teacher, who visited Mazar-i-Sharif, the capital of northern Balkh province, talked about his translation work on Rahman Baba's poetry and Pashtu poetry with Pajhwok Afghan News in an interview.
Fluent in Pashtu, Robert Sampson said he leant Pashtu from his students in Peshawar. "All my students were Pashtuns, so I believed it was necessary to learn this language. When my students would talk to each other in Pashtu, I would try to understand, learn and it had a great fun."
He said he leant Pashtu in cooperation and friendship with his students. "I loved listening to Pasthu poetry and proverbs and I noticed the Pashtuns using poetry of Rahman Baba in their common conversation."
He said it had been amazing to him how an illiterate Pashtun could use such a huge amount of poetry in his ordinary talks. "It further strengthened my resolve to learn Pashtu, so I decided to study Rahman Baba work, which caused me to fall in love with Pashtu poetry."
Robert Sampson said the Rahman Baba poetry had a great impact on him and by translating his work, he wanted the same impact on all the British people.
He said another teacher based in Peshawar, Momin Khan, had co-translated the Rahman Baba's poetry. Robert said first they published a small book of Rahman Baba's famous verses and then decide to translate all the Diwan into English.
"The poetry of the most revered sufi poet Rahman Baba is available in English language also," said Sampson, who believed the world has wrongly recognized the Pashtuns. "This nation does not like war, they are peace-loving," said the teacher, who spent four years tirelessly translating the Rahman Baba work.
"If the world reads Pashtu poetry, they will find messages like what Rahman Baba left behind," Sampson said, as he recited a famous quote from the most revered poet among the Pashtuns:
کر د ګلو کړه، چې سيمه دې ګلزار شي
اغزي مه کره، چې پښو کې به دې خار شي.
"Sow flowers to make a garden bloom around you"
"The thorns you sow will prick your own feet"
Sampson said the works of Rahman Baba, Khoshal Khan Khattak and others and especially Pashtu Tapa had made the language immortal.
He said the Pashtuns did not like words of other languages to find place in Pashtu language, but he said it should be allowed because adopting words of other languages would help increase Pashtu's relations with other tongues.
Sampson said he loved Pashtu poetry and now he had started translating the poetry of Khushal Khan Baba into English.

What is Long-Term Care?
You probably know someone who has needed long-term care. Maybe you have witnessed a family member, friend or colleague struggle with the emotional and financial issues that can come with a long-term care experience. The truth is, no matter when the need arises, because of age, disability, or because of an unexpected illness or accident, long-term care can affect any age group, any social strata, and any geographic location. But what is it and how can you plan for it?
What is Long-Term Care?
Long-term care is help you may need due to a lengthy illness, an unexpected injury or accident, or a severe cognitive disorder such as Alzheimer's disease. It's assistance with the everyday tasks, or the activities of daily living (bathing, eating, dressing, toileting, transferring, and continence). Long-term care may be provided in a variety of locations, from nursing homes and assisted living facilities to adult day care centers and even your own home.
Who needs Long-Term Care?
Most of us strive to live active, healthy lives well into our later years, and indeed as a society, Americans are living longer than ever before. This extended longevity is one of the things that drives the growing need for long-term care – the longer we live, the better the odds that we may need long-term care services. It is predicted that in the year 2020, some 12 million older Americans are expected to need long-term care[1].
While the majority of long-term care services is provided for seniors, a surprising amount of long-term care services are provided to younger people. In fact, the U.S. Government Accountability Office estimates that 40% of the 13 million people receiving long-term care services are between ages 18 and 64[2].
Who pays for Long-Term Care?
Long-term care can be expensive, financially and emotionally. An unexpected need for long-term care can have a significant impact on a family's assets and lifestyle. Close to one-fourth of all nursing home costs are paid out-of pocket by individuals and their families[3].
Many people mistakenly believe that their health insurance will cover the cost of long-term care. Others believe that Medicare or Medicaid will cover long-term care expenses. While Medicare does provide health coverage for seniors, it is limited in the coverage it provides for long-term care. Medicaid will pay for the cost of long-term care, but you must qualify by meeting strict income and asset eligibility requirements.
Long-term care insurance could be a solution.
Long-term care insurance can be a very smart way to address the challenges from a long-term care need. Long-term care insurance can help pay for nursing home care, as well as, a variety of home and community based care services. Long-term care insurance may not be for everybody, so if you are considering a policy, read it carefully and be sure to work with an insurance agent who understands long-term care issues.
With long life comes long-term planning. Make a plan for you and your family today.

Sandy heroes honored during Citi Field festivities
Hurricane first responders take the field; moment of silence called for Newtown victims
NEW YORK -- Baseball, on this day, saw fit to salute society.
Opening Day at Citi Field took on a decidedly local flavor Monday, as the Mets elected to honor some of the region's great heroes during their pregame ceremony. More than 500 first responders to Hurricane Sandy were on the field for the national anthem, and the Mets called for a moment of silence to honor the victims of the storm and of the mass shooting incident in Newtown, Conn.
This day, a celebration of the new baseball season, doubled as a reminder of a trying winter for the tri-state area. The Mets distributed more than 1,000 Opening Day tickets to citizens who were heroic in their response to Hurricane Sandy, and first responders from all branches of service were honored.
Police, fire and military personnel all lined up on the field before the game, ringing the back of the infield dirt from first base all the way around to third. Another group, comprised of Habitat for Humanity volunteers, formed a house-shaped arrangement around a Mets logo out in center field.
They were all Mets fans on this day, and all representatives of a region that worked together through a daunting crisis over the winter. But most of all, they were all just regular people doing their jobs.
"I realized I had to swim better," quipped Lieutenant Peter O'Neill of the NYPD. "It was everyone pulling together, and everyone's still pulling together months afterward. It shows that no matter what anyone says -- no matter the stereotypes -- people are people. People stick together in trying times."
O'Neill, who works at the 60th Precinct in Brooklyn, had an up-close view of the devastation wrought by Hurricane Sandy. The 60th Precinct had a basement boiler room flooded with water during the storm, and the officers managed to escape unscathed only to resume their regular duties rescuing citizens.
Now, several months later, O'Neill and his peers were feted by the public at Citi Field.
"It means the world to us," he said. "How many times do you get to stand on the baseball field for a National League team? We stand in front of everyone and everyone says 'Thank you' to us? It doesn't happen very often. We appreciate it. I brought my son, and he's having a good time."
Rusty Staub, a member of the Mets Hall of Fame, threw out the ceremonial first pitch on Monday, and his philanthropic activities were highlighted for the crowd. Staub, a member of the 1973 NL Championship team and a longtime broadcaster, established a charity in 1986 that has raised more than $150 million for the New York City Police and Fire Widow's and Children's Benefit Fund.
Emmy Rossum, famed for her role in Showtime's "Shameless," sang the national anthem on Monday, and she was backed by chorus members from the Scholars' Academy School in the Rockaways. And then, once the pregame festivities were over, it was time to play baseball.
The Mets went into Monday with a 33-18 all-time record on Opening Day -- the best of any big league team -- and they boast a 2-0 mark at Citi Field. Manager Terry Collins would love to see those trends extended, but he said Monday that Opening Day is huge for a number of reasons.
"This is what we do," he said. "Opening Day is always a fun time, because it's the start of a long season. This is our life, and we want to get started doing it. It's always fun. It's always a big day. It's always nice to win on Opening Day, because it gets the fans excited and keeps them optimistic."
Collins, who has a young team, knows that many memories can be forged on Opening Day, and he said he'll always think back to 1994, his first full season as the manager of the Astros.
"We beat the Expos, who had an outstanding team, in the 12th inning," said Collins. "I remember walking out to the foul line when we got introduced and saying, 'OK, it's all been worth it.' The 20 years in the Minor Leagues, all the winter balls, all the instructional leagues. All the things that you did to get there. It was all worth it to stand there for the first time. That will go down as my biggest Opening Day."

We make every attempt to produce custom recordings within two to three business days of receiving the order. Production is occasionally subject to delays, as the voice talents may have illness or other situations which may impact voice quality and result in delays. When practical, Voice Vector Media will attempt to provide notice of known delays on the web site. In the event a delay prevents production for over fifteen days, the order may be refunded. (See "Refund/Exchange Policy" below.)
If you are not satisfied with the delivery of your custom recording, you will have the opportunity through the web site to request that it be recorded again, subject to the exclusions described under "One Voice Prompt Per Order Item," below. Such a request must be received within seven days of the recording being posted on the website for download. The wording originally requested cannot be changed, but you may request different inflections and pronunciations or point out any mistakes in the reading of the script. If you have already requested that a recording be redone and are not satisfied with the new recording, you will have the opportunity through the web site to request that it be recorded a third time. In order to request a third recording, you will be required to upload a recording of your voice speaking the script you provided. This will help the voice talent understand what inflections and pronunciations you require. Under no circumstances will a single recording be produced more than three times.
Recordings which are meant for separate playback should be ordered separately. For example, "You have reached" and "Please leave a message" would constitute two recordings, because another recording is intended to be spliced in the middle. Each individual segment must be ordered separately, although you may pay for as many such orders as you please with one payment after placing your order. Any orders which contain multiple segments in one order item, whether apparent from the script, production notes, or intonation file, will not be subject to the Satisfaction Guarantee, above, and any changes or corrections after the recording has been produced will require an additional paid order. Further, recordings rejected under the Satisfaction Guarantee citing reasons which indicate that multiple segments are intended under the same recording order will be denied and the recording will be deemed accepted as recorded. In order to keep production prices low, we must enforce this policy to maintain the efficiency of a streamlined implementation of the Satisfaction Guarantee.
Voice Vector Media reserves the right to refuse to produce any recording, with or without reason, at its sole discretion. Voice Vector Media will not produce blatantly obscene or racist recordings or any recordings which have an apparent use in direct competition with Voice Vector Media's business. If you have special needs which may be questionable under this paragraph, we encourage you to contact the sales department prior to ordering. Emails may be directed to firstname.lastname@example.com.
A refunds will only be issued if a recording you ordered is not produced either due to a violation of the "Unacceptable Content" paragraph, above, or due to an inability of the voice talent to produce the recording within fifteen days from the date of order. A refund issued due to a recording not being produced in a timely manner will be issued only after fifteen days from the date of order if requested by the customer. If the ordered recording is available for recording on the web site, a refund will not be issued regardless of the time taken to produce the recording.
All sales are final. Because completed orders are immediately sent to the voice talent studio for production, orders cannot be cancelled or modified once placed. Please carefully review the script you provided and choice of recording voice prior to completing your order.

omg! wtf?! Nahh, this ain't a porn blog. The title is three coding principles that I try to follow when I code. And this blog is going to be all about them.
You'll find code refactorings, insights and such that I discover during my days as a software architect/developer.
As you might notice, no entries will be elaborate or poetic. They will be short and concise: HARDCORE!
DRY – Don't repeat yourself.
Most of you have probably heard of this principle. You can read more about it at wikipedia.
Code duplication is evil since you:
- can get the same bug in a lot of different places
- refactoring becomes hard (try finding all the places you have the duplicate code in)
- larger programs -> more code to maintain
- your application design is most likely bad as a rotten apple
Let's focus on the last entry. Sorry, but it's true. If you need to duplicate code, you have done something wrong. Go and take a coffee. Go through your code and try to refactor it. Ask a colleague of yours. DO NOT CONTINUE UNTIL YOU SOLVE THE PROBLEM. Trust me. You'll regret it later.
KISS – Keep it simple (and) stupid
I have a really active brain. It comes up with all sorts of cool stuff and solutions when programming. That's a BIG problem when coding. Coding is not about having the coolest solution or the most fancy features. It's about doing as little as possible to get the job done. I do not mean that you should take shortcuts or writing shit code. I'm talking about doing a simple solid solution which get's the job done but nothing more.
Time estimation is still one of the hardest thing to do when developing software. How long have we been coding? 40 years? And we still can't do proper time estimations. El oh el! Do you know why? Because most programmers do not keep it simple! We love to learn new stuff and do cool solutions.
Finish the application first! Then do the fancy stuff.
Read more about KISS at wikipedia.
SR – Single responsibility
Have you ever seen a cop (Mr. Police) mow a lawn when on active duty? (If you have, please give him this link). I thought not. Why? Because doing a lot of different things would make him a bad cop. It's the same with your classes, methods and projects. Don't let a class both fetch the users from the database and present the info to the user. Do not let a method both send an email and eject the CD tray.
If a class is called UserReporsitory it should not do anything else than fetch/save you users from/to your data source. That's what single responsibility means.
Why?! you ask. Well, letting your method/class/project doing a lot of stuff will make it hard to understand what your application does. It will also make it harder to understand. But the most important thing is: It will make it hard to test your application. (unit tests). And you don't want that. Unit tests are a life saver when your application grows. All those green dots that says that the tests have passed will give you a warm fuzzy feeling inside when your application is 5M lines long. Imagine how hard it would be to test an app that large when all your classes do a lot of different stuff. Imaging a cop mow a lawn.

That's it
Again. Welcome to my blog. Leave a comment or two.

General Terms and Conditions for Purchasing and Ordering
I. Key Conditions
These General Terms and Conditions for Purchasing and Ordering apply to all business transactions with our contractual partners if they are suppliers or other contractors (hereinafter just called "supplier").
Provisions deviating from these conditions, especially business terms of the supplier, do not apply, even if we do not specifically contradict the validity of the General Terms and Conditions for Purchasing and Ordering of the supplier in an individual case or if reference is made by us to a supplier's letter containing the supplier's General Terms and Conditions for Purchasing and Ordering. We point out that special contractual conditions will be applied for special services which will be agreed upon in an individual contract and which may supplement or modify these General Terms and Conditions for Purchasing and Ordering.
II. Quotations and Conclusion of Contract
The supplier must comply exactly with the inquiry stated in the quotation and in case of deviations the supplier must make explicit reference to these in writing. The quotation must be submitted to us non-binding and without charge.
III. Placement of Order
1. An order will only be regarded as having been placed if it has been issued by us in writing and has been signed. Orders placed verbally or by phone only become binding for us if we have acknowledged them by subsequent confirmation in writing. Drawings issued by us in individual cases including indications of tolerances are binding. By accepting the order the supplier confirms having familiarised himself with the type of design and scope of supply by studying the drawings provided. We cannot be held responsible for any obvious typographical errors or calculations to be found in the documents, drawings and plans submitted by us. The supplier is obliged to inform us of such errors thereby enabling us to amend and resubmit our order. This also applies if documents or drawings are missing.
2. Acceptance of orders, as well as modifications of orders requested by us, are to be confirmed to us by the supplier, unamended in writing or by telefax (e.g. by signing the copy of the order placement) within two weeks of the date of the order placement letter / letter modifying the order. We are otherwise entitled to revoke the order.
3. Deviations in quantity and quality with regard to the text and contents of our order and subsequent modifications of contract will only be considered as agreed if we have explicitly confirmed them in writing. The same applies for partial deliveries.
4. Drawings, tools, samples, models, brands and designs or the like, as well as finished products and semi-finished products which have been submitted by us or which are produced based on our order, remain our property and may only be supplied to third parties upon our explicit written approval. Unless subject to other individual arrangements, they are to be returned to us without specific request and without delay upon completion of the order. Products manufactured and/or marked with such manufacturing equipment, brands and designs may only be supplied to third parties upon our explicit written approval.
IV. Delivery Dates
1. The agreed delivery periods and dates are binding. They are calculated commencing from the date of order placement. Within the delivery period and/or by the delivery date, the goods must have arrived at the receival address indicated by us. If delays are anticipated the supplier must inform us immediately, stating the reasons for the delay and its probable duration and must obtain our decision as to whether the order is still valid or not. If the supplier fails to inform us about the delay, he cannot hold us responsible for the hindrance.
2. If the supplier delays the delivery we are entitled to submit a claim for a contract penalty of 0.1% of the net order value per working day, to a maximum of 5% of the net order value and/or to withdraw from the contract. The contract penalty may be claimed up until payment of the final invoice. The contract penalty paid will be set off against further damage claims, if any.
3. We are not obliged to accept shipments arriving before the agreed date.
V. Delivery / Packing
1. The delivery is effected at the supplier's cost and without charge to the point of receipt specified by us, unless an agreement to the contrary has been made. If we are liable to pay the freight according to prior agreement, the supplier must select either the mode of transport prescribed by us, or the mode of transport and type of delivery most suitable for us. A delivery note showing all order references issued by us must be attached to the delivery.
2. The risk in the goods only passes to us after acceptance of the consignment by our point of receipt.
3. Packing is included in the price. If, as an exception, another arrangement has been agreed, packing must be charged at cost price. The supplier must select the type of packing as prescribed by us and must ensure that the packing protects the goods from damage. If the goods are returned, at least two thirds of the packing charge must be credited. The delivery will also be accompanied by the CE compliance documentation in the requested language.
VI. Acceptance
A formal acceptance must be implemented unless considered disproportionate. The acceptance is made jointly and is documented in a Minutes of Acceptance by us.
- The required tests and measurements are to be implemented after prior agreement. Acceptance of the goods in question will take place after the supplier has provided evidence of the assured properties as well as of faultless operationality and functionality of the object of contract as preconditioned in the order. If the object of contract comprises several units, the acceptance must be performed separately for each unit.
VII. Documentation
1. Invoices, delivery notes and packing slips must be enclosed in duplicate for each consignment. These documents must contain:
– Order number
– Quantity and unit
– Gross, net and if applicable, calculated weight
– Article designation with our article number
– Quantity outstanding in case of partial deliveries.
2. In case of freight consignments a dispatch note must be sent to us separately on the day of dispatch.
VIII. Prices
1. The price indicated in the order is binding (fixed price). In the absence of a written agreement to the contrary, the price includes free delivery to the stated dispatch address including packing. Should the supplier reduce his prices during the time period between order placement and delivery and/or improve the conditions, the prices and conditions valid on the day of delivery apply.
- The supplier will not grant us prices or terms that are less favourable than the prices and terms quoted to other buyers if, and in so far as they offer him the same or equivalent conditions in a specific case.
IX. Invoice / Payment
1. Invoices are to be issued separately for each order. Payment will only be effected after receipt of all defect-free goods and/or complete and faultless execution and after receipt of the invoice. This provision similarly applies to partial deliveries. Delays caused by incorrect or incomplete billing have no effect on discount time limits.
We will pay by our preferred method by remittance within a fortnight after receipt of the Minutes of Acceptance in which no retentions shall have been entered, and after receipt of the supplier's invoice to us with 3% discount or within 30 days net.
- Claims by the supplier to us may only be assigned to third parties with our consent. Payments will only be effected to the supplier. The supplier may only put forward setting off and rights of retention in case of undisputed or legally enforceable claims noted against us.
- Progress payments may only be made on presentation of a German bank's or savings bank's unlimited primary liability of contract, if we have not received supply-parts property forming the basis of the progress claim.
X. Guarantee / Warranty / Complaints
- The supplier assumes the obligation that the goods will comply with our specifications including presentation and Auszeichnung? The supplier is responsible for the compliance of the delivery item with the legal and contractual quality requirements and that it has no defects. Above all, the delivery item must comply with the generally recognized rules of technology, the current requirements with regard to safety as well as with the environmental, workplace and accident prevention regulations.
- In case of technical equipment it must additionally be proven and documented through written confirmation or test mark of conformity that the relevant legal regulations and DIN-standards have been sufficiently adhered to. Moreover, the supplier is obliged to inform us immediately about any officially prescribed measures according to § GPSE (German Device and Product Safety Act). In the latter case we can demand that the supplier - at our option - either repairs, exchanges or removes his products which are already located at our premises.
- Deviations in quality and quantity are claimed in time pursuant to § 377 HGB (German Commercial Code), if we send a notification to the supplier within 12 working days (excluding Saturdays) following receipt of the goods. Hidden deviations pursuant to § 377 HGB (German Commercial Code) are claimed in time if the notification has been sent within 12 working days (excluding Saturdays) after their discovery.
- If faulty goods are supplied or in case of faulty workmanship, the legal warranty regulations (§§ 437, 634 BGB) apply, in so far as nothing else has been agreed in writing in the individual case.
- For the product manufactured by the supplier and/or for the order executed by him the warranty expires after 36 months from supply and acceptance, unless other agreements have been made.
XI. Producer's Liability
For defects in the goods which the supplier is responsible for, he exempts us from the manufacturer's resultant liability in so far as he would be directly liable himself. He cannot claim for limitation of liability in time against us, as long as we cannot plead ourselves with regard to rights and duties as to third parties.
XII. Industrial Property Rights
The supplier is liable for his supply and our use of it will not infringe any patents or other industrial property rights of third parties. He exempts us and our customers from all claims of the use of such industrial property rights. This does not apply if the supplier has produced the goods supplied in accordance with drawings, samples or equivalent other descriptions or instructions submitted by us and is not aware, or in connection with the products manufactured by him, cannot be aware that he is infringing any industrial property rights.
XIII. Force Majeure
War, civil war, export restrictions and/or trade restrictions resulting from changed political conditions as well as from strikes, lockout, operational malfunctions, operational limitations and similar events at the contractual point of receipt or in Germany, making the fulfillment of contract to us impossible or unreasonable, are to be regarded as force majeure and release us for the duration of their existence from the obligation of punctual acceptance. The contracting parties are obliged to inform each other of the occurrence of such an event and to adjust their obligations to the changed conditions in good faith.
XIV. Safe Custody / Property
Material delivered remains our property. As such, it must be stored separately and may only be used for our orders. The supplier is responsible for any impairment of value or loss, even if this was not his fault. All objects manufactured with material supplied by us remain our property in every state of fabrication. The supplier keeps these objects for us in safe custody, the contract price includes the costs for the custody of the objects and materials for us.
XV. Business Secrets / Data Protection
The supplier is obliged to treat our orders and all related commercial and technical details as business secrets. He is liable without limitation for any damage resulting from violation of his duties of secrecy.
If personal or equivalent data are collected, processed or applied, the supplier will be obliged to process them according to the Bundesdatenschutz-gesetz –BDSG (German Federal Data Protection Law) and supplementary legal provisions and, above all, to only employ personnel who have been trained accordingly and have assumed an obligation according to § 5 of the German Federal Data Protection Law (§ 5 BDSG).
XVI. General Provisions
- If any provision in the General Terms should be, or become, ineffective or unfeasible, the other provisions will remain valid. In place of the ineffective and/or unfeasible regulation, the provision which best approximates the economic intentions of the parties shall apply.
- German law is applicable. The laws governing the international purchase of movable assets and the conclusion of international purchase contracts for movable assets are excluded.
- Place of performance is at the registered office of the principal. Another agreement can be made for the delivery.
- The court of law in charge of legal proceedings in Rheinberg is the place of jurisdiction for suppliers, merchants, legal entities under private or public law or special public funds.

From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...I am as Rapunzel, but I've been imprisoned by an ice storm rather than a wicked witch or magic spell. The Silver Fox, God bless him, cleared the impressive length and breadth of our driveway, only to find a felled tree at the shared entrance to the road below. The owner of said tree did not share our zeal to remove storm debris and so we sit waiting for him to get his backfield in motion and move the darned thing out of the way. Until the tree is gone I, and by extension the blog, am completely dependent on the contents of my pantry for meals, ideas and photos. Hence tonight's feature is for a saucer-sized cookie, that I call a Kitchen Sink Jumble. As you've probably guessed, they contain everything but scouring pads, so their name is well-deserved. If you enjoy really sweet treats, you will enjoy this cookie. The jumbles are easy to make and they are good keepers, so if you have bits and bobs of ingredients left from your Christmas baking, this is a great way to use them up. Here is a base recipe that will get you started.
Kitchen Sink Jumbles ...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite courtesy of Fine Cooking magazine
3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened at room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1 large egg, at room temperature
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1-1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cake flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1/2 cup sweetened dried cranberries
1/2 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned, not quick-cooking)
1/2 cup pecan pieces (or coarsely chopped pecan halves), lightly toasted
1/2 cup sweetened coconut flakes, lightly toasted
1/2 cup white chocolate chips
1) Position two racks near center of oven and heat oven to 325 degrees F. Line three baking sheets with parchment.
2) In bowl of a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, beat butter and both sugars at medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Scrape bowl. Add egg, corn syrup, and vanilla and beat for 1 minute on medium speed. Mix in half of all-purpose flour on low speed until thoroughly combined, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Scrape bowl. Briefly mix in remaining half of all-purpose flour. Sprinkle cake flour, baking soda, and salt into bowl and beat on low speed until well blended, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. With a wooden spoon or a rubber spatula, stir in the cranberries, oats, pecans, coconut, and white chocolate.
3) Using your fingertips, shape 2-oz. pieces of dough (about a scant 1/4 cup) into 2-inch-diameter disks that are 1/2 inch thick. Space them at least 2 inches apart on parchment-lined sheets. Bake until cookies' edges and bottoms are golden and the centers feel dry on the surface but still soft inside, about 15 to 16 minutes. When baking two pans of cookies at once, switch position of pans after 8 minutes for even browning. Let cookies cool on baking sheets for at least 1 minute before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. These cookies will keep for three or four days at room temperature or for several weeks in the freezer. Yield: 15 to 18 cookies.

Green Terror scores 18 of final 20 to best No. 18 Diplomats, 61-53
WESTMINSTER, Md. – Marcus Dyson (Scotch Plains, N.J./Union Catholic) recorded all but two points, four rebounds and one block of his 12-point, 9-rebound, 4-blocked shot game in the second half to propel McDaniel to a 61-53 victory over 18th-ranked Franklin & Marshall in Centennial Conference (CC) men's basketball action on Tuesday.
Devon Lesniak (Westminster, Md./Winters Mill) matched Dyson with 12 points in a balanced attack for the Green Terror (6-7, 3-3 CC), who defeated the Diplomats (10-3, 5-1 CC) for the fifth straight time at the Gill Center.
Louis Sarris-Grau (Huntingdon Valley, Pa./Lower Moreland) and Cullen Murray-Kemp (Trappe, Md./Easton) also reached double figures with 11 and 10 points, respectively.
Georgio Milligan paced the visitors with 19 points, including hitting 11 of 14 attempts from the free-throw line. James McNally added 14 points and nine rebounds.
In a game featuring the conference's top-ranked scoring offense and top-ranked scoring defense, defense won out in the end with McDaniel holding Franklin & Marshall to just two Milligan free throws over the final 6:33 of the game.
Lesniak sparked the game-ending 18-2 run with a pair of free throws at the 4:07 mark, helping the hosts claw out of an eight-point deficit.
Sarris-Grau scored the game's next five points, including converting his only free throw in five attempts with an old-fashioned three-point play that closed the deficit to 51-50 with 3:17 on the clock.
Two Lesniak tosses from the charity stripe – part of a 9-for-10 showing – 48 seconds later turned the one-point deficit into a one-point lead.
A Sarris-Grau putback off his own miss stretched the lead to three with 1:48 showing before Milligan canned a pair from the stripe 20 seconds later.
With 1:07 on the clock, Lesniak hit the second of two attempts for a two-points lead and then stretched it to a two-possession game with 33.4 seconds on the clock.
Michael Jarboe (Monrovia, Md./Urbana) and Dyson each hit a pair in the final 14.6 seconds to seal the eight-point win.
The two teams battled through a back-and-forth first half with both squads building leads of four points.
Woody Butler (Middletown, Md./Smithsburg) capped a 6-0 burst that put the hosts on top 18-14 for their largest advantage of the first half with 8:38 on the clock.
The Diplomats' largest lead came with a pair of McNally free throws that capped an 8-0 stretch at the 2:19 mark.
However, Christopher Cowles' (West Chester, Pa./Bayard Rustin) only three points of the game came on a trey in the corner with 1:05 on the first-half clock before Sarris-Grau hit a layup to give the Green Terror a 26-25 halftime lead.
McDaniel, however, would miss eight straight shots through the nearly eight-minute stretch in the second half that allowed Franklin & Marshall to build a 40-31 lead.
The teams exchanged scores over 3-minute, 34-second span to keep it an eight-point game at 51-43 with 6:33 on the clock before the hosts made the run.
Sarris-Grau added eight rebounds and four blocked shots while Butler chipped in six points and six rebounds.
McDaniel returns to action at Haverford on Thursday. Game time is 8 p.m.

I don't like quiet mornings in empty places.
Dusk is my favourite time of day; the light is different then, special. Dusk captures the essence of Istanbul- its temper, its force, its raw sense of life. The light bleeds then like spilling gooseberry juice, and as the air cools the city sighs.
I was on a ferry a few evenings ago, doing the cross-continental hop between Beşiktaş and Kadıköy. There's something wonderful and slightly terrifying about being stuck in a vessel in the middle of a darkening sea with 500 strangers who just happen to be sharing the same linoleum with you.
Often the strangers are the most interesting part and I love to observe those few minutes of their lives; to watch the graceful tea sellers doling out steaming çay to sleepy commuters and to try to spot a real newspaper in between the comic strips and sports pages.
As the ferry edges closer to the dock, most get up, too quick to crowd and form a panicky queue. But a few stay behind: the old, the bored and the melancholic, stepping slowly onto the plank and taking a last look at the lemon light before resuming life outside the ferry.

I've run into the oddest problem which really isn't making any sense.
Timer timer = new Timer(); //7 days long patchNotesSleep = 7 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000; TimerTask task = new TimerTask() {public void run() {}}; //Schedule at 14:55 on the next Thursday Date nextDate = calcPatchNotesStartDate(); timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(task, nextDate, patchNotesSleep); System.out.println("Should start at " + nextDate); System.out.println("Patch Notes scheduled to check at " + new Date(task.scheduledExecutionTime()));
What I'm expecting is for the two print statements to return the same dates. What I'm actually getting is this.
I've tried throwing breakpoints and comparing the actual date objects, just in case something weird was going on with the print. They are different dates.Should start at Thu Mar 14 14:55:00 EDT 2013
Patch Notes scheduled to check at Thu Mar 07 13:55:00 EST 2013

BOSTON, Mass. – With his 11th goal of the season Jake Slonaker was able to give MIT (3-4) a 9-8 double overtime win over men's lacrosse (1-6) Tuesday afternoon at Clark Athletic Center Field.
The goal, which was scored at 3:03 in the second overtime period was assisted by Mike Gibson, his second of the day. After bringing the ball up the field, Gibson would lay it off to Slonaker who was wide-open in front of the Beacons cage. Freshman goalie Henry Bristol (South Hadley, Mass.) nearly pulled off the save, but Slonaker's shot managed to beat the netminder to the high near post giving the Engineers the non-conference victory.
The overtime victory marked the second of the year for MIT as they earned a triple overtime victory over the University of New England back on March 17.
Slonaker's game-winner was his third of the day as he led MIT's attack in Tuesday's contest. After him a total of six different players would score for the Engineers including Ben Hessels who also had one assist as well.
For the Beacons Ryan FitzGerald (Abington, Mass.) netted a hat-trick of his own. The senior attacker got UMass on the scoreboard in the first and actually gave them the lead as he scored back-to-back goals to make it 2-1 in favor of the Beacons. Also finding the back of the net on Tuesday was Donny Delpha (Walpole, Mass.) who scored his team-leading fourth man-up goal of the year with less than four minutes left in the second. He would also net his second goal of the game in the second, with 22 seconds left in the half to tie the score at 5-5.
Leo Ajemian (Walpole, Mass.) was another go-to playmaker for UMass as he dished out two assists while also winning nine of the Beacons 12 face-offs. Bristol collected a game-high eight groundballs between the pipes and also made a total of 12 saves. His MIT counterpart Christopher Rullan totaled six stops in the contest and faced a combined 20 shots from the Beacons attack.
As a team, UMass won the face-off battle as they went 12-for-22 and were also 1-for-4 on man-up opportunities. In groundballs they managed to collect 39 on the day, while the Engineers came-up with 34. MIT was 0-for-5 on man-ups and were 17-for-20 on clear attempts.
Tim Wilczynski finished led MIT with seven groundballs, while Hessels fired-off a game-high seven shots. Delpha totaled six shots for the Beacons, with Ajemian finishing with five.
After the break both teams would match-up evenly as they each recorded three goals in the final 30 minutes of regulation. Tied at 8-8 the two teams faced-off in the first overtime. UMass would get off two shots, while MIT managed one, with Bristol coming up with the huge stop.
Still tied after the first OT, the two squads squared-up again with both team's getting off one shot.
Lacrosse returns to action on Saturday when they host Western Connecticut State University at 1 p.m. in a Little East Conference contest.

Defense firms say job warnings loom
Dismayed at a returning Congress still struggling to avert automatic budget cuts, defense contractors could soon alert thousands of employees their jobs are at risk.
The defense industry is gambling that neither Congress nor the White House wants headlines about potential layoffs so close to Election Day — and that the threat of layoff warnings could push lawmakers and President Barack Obama into resolving a budget standoff that has dragged on for more than a year.
Story Continued Below
Under the terms of last year's agreement to raise the debt ceiling, Congress passed, and Obama signed into law, legislation that would automatically "sequester" nearly $500 billion in defense spending over the next decade.
The Pentagon and its vendors have warned that would be catastrophic, but the problem is tied up with the larger deadlock over taxes and spending cuts. And with time running out before the Jan. 2 onset of the sequester, the defense industry is eager to jump-start action by Congress.
The strategy, first broached by defense giant Lockheed Martin, was to argue that sequestration would amount to immediate job cuts, and as such the company had an obligation to notify its employees of the danger under the 1988 WARN Act. Other defense vendors also took notice.
"Unless we receive additional guidance or there's a solution to sequestration, we feel that we will have to issue WARN notices to some or most of our employees 60 or 90 days before Jan. 2," said Brian Roehrkasse, vice president of public relations for BAE Systems.
If Congress fails to avert the looming, across-the-board cuts, BAE estimates it could have to eliminate about 10 percent of its U.S. workforce — or about 4,000 jobs, Roehrkasse said.
The notices could go out despite guidance issued in July by the Department of Labor, which said it would be "inappropriate" for vendors to issue layoff warnings given that Congress still had months to avert the onset of the sequester. But the guidance did not say it would be illegal or threaten any penalties — effectively leaving the matter open.
Republican defense advocates, who hope the layoff warnings would amount to a salvo against Obama in the crucial days before the election, blasted the Labor Department guidance.
"To think that one of the agencies of the Obama administration would give guidance not to follow the law of the land — a judge would laugh at that," said Rep. Buck McKeon (R-Calif.), chairman of the Armed Services Committee.
Meanwhile, Rep. John Kline (R-Minn.), chairman of the Education and the Workforce Committee, sent a letter to the Labor Department, saying its memo was "misleading and incomplete" and requesting documents backing up the decision.
And Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) pushed for an amendment to next year's Pentagon budget that would have required defense contractors to issue WARN notices before the Nov. 6 elections, but the amendment was rejected by the Senate Appropriations Committee.
For its part, Northrop Grumman is "watching the situation closely," said Randy Belote, a company spokesman.
"We'll be following the requirements laid out in the law," he said. "But we've made no decisions and have not made any public comments on the issue."

Recently, we've talked quite a bit about when authors disappear – as in, they stop participating in writer's forums, neglect their blogs, tweet less, so on and so forth. Obviously, this isn't universal. A number of authors even increase internet face time upon publication; with flourishing blogs and must-read twitter feeds. But the Case of the Vanishing Author is common enough that I think it's worth discussing (in a much longer blog post than I intended, apparently).
First, because I'm kinda one of them. Second, and foremost, because I've seen some misunderstandings when it comes to why. Warning: can o' worms. Ready your fishhooks.
For me, at least – it is NOT (not not) because I think I am somehow superior, now that I'm published.
OMG no.
I can't swear there aren't diva authors out there, though I'm wracking my brain trying to think of any. But for every author I've spoken to about this topic, a sense of Now I'm published! superiority (ew gross) has absolutely nothing to do with their hiatus from the internet. To be honest, the majority of one- or two-books-in authors are still wide-eyed and blinking, wondering, how did I get here? What is that beautiful house? Where does that highway lead to? (Sorry.)
Busyness is another common explanation, and a valid one. Published authors aren't necessarily busier than aspiring authors, though. Some are tremendously busy, certainly, especially those with multi-book deals, who travel a ton and keep day jobs and rear children besides. But most authors, I think, are just super-busy in spurts. There's someone on the other end waiting for those revisions, so no lollygagging allowed. That accounts for sporadic disappearance, oftentimes.
Yet another valid reason is the classified nature of publishing. You can't discuss submissions to publishers, advance figures, contract negotiations, sales information, and that sort of thing in public. Or rather, you can, but you really shouldn't. For face-saving reasons, sure, but mainly because it's not the best idea to anger your publisher (or agent!).
But there are many other reasons authors taper off. Reasons that are a lot harder to explain, because they touch upon personal things like Stress and Anxiety, and a whole host of controversial topics.
Thanking book bloggers for Waiting on Wednesday posts. Is that sucking up?
Clicking "like" on Goodreads reviews that resonate. Am I leaving people out?
Commenting on reviews of my books. Obviously a no-no if it's a negative review – but what about positive reviews? I mostly stick to reviews tweeted to me, but even then. What if people think I'm obsessing? Stalking myself? Help!
My blog. Am I talking too much about my books? About myself? Have I been published long enough to make my advice worth anything? Am I just shouting into the wind?
All of a sudden, writing forums seem scarily public. It's challenging to discuss books critically online, because almost every time, we're friends with the author, have met the author, or likely will some day. We're thrilled but also daunted by our blog and Twitter followers, our Facebook and Goodreads friends.
Don't get me wrong – in so many ways, this is all fantastic. I know it makes me choose my words more wisely, even when composing a tweet. (then again…) If something is important to me, I have more reach. But I'm ultra-aware how even minor slip-ups can spread. Moderate slip-ups can become memes. And the internet has a looong memory.
What's more, there seems to be a consensus that authors shouldn't complain publicly – that they should take hard knocks like professionals; suck it up and move on. I'm partially on board. Critical reviews are part of the process. (And super important to the community – hell, I read them first, even for books I adore.) And just because an author's microphone is louder doesn't mean they should sob into it, because it's depressing and also pretty boring, frankly.
However, I think it's disingenuous to suggest hurt feelings are for amateurs – that publication comes with instant impermeable armor. I'm no wimp (well, except when it comes to heights or carpentry) (or wormy things) (oh god, parasites), but I still hurt and grieve and angst. All authors do, I'm pretty sure. (If you don't, please share your armor vendor, kthnx).
But for all the reasons above, we keep it private. We share with family, friends, our patient and blessed critique partners. We retreat into private forums and email threads. That's good – you don't want to see my angst face, it's not particularly becoming. But it also means there has to be less participation in public venues, like Absolute Write, the Blueboards, Twitter, Facebook, our blogs. Especially in the beginning, when we're still learning to manage this crazy wild scary wonderful author career thing.
So when an author tapers off, fades away, vanishes, whatever you want to call it, it's important to know that it's not personal. Or rather, it is personal, but only on the author's side; and we -- I!-- hope it's only temporary. At least, until I figure out how to put on this clunky newfangled armor correctly, because I'm pretty sure my underwear is showing.
What do you think about disappearing authors? Do you wish authors were more vocal about stuff like this? Less vocal? (Fill in your own discussion question here ____.) I'd love to hear your thoughts!

ORLANDO, FL - June 2, 2014
Webroot, the market leader in cloud-based, real-time threat detection, today announced expanded integration within LabTech Software's leading remote monitoring and management (RMM) platform and new integration within ConnectWise's Professional Services Automation (PSA) software. Webroot also introduced the Webroot SecureAnywhere® Global Site Manager, an advanced cloud-based management console that provides managed service providers (MSPs) the ability to cost-effectively manage multiple customers. These announcements mark the latest in Webroot's expansion efforts within the MSP segment.
Businesses with a heavy reliance on information technology, but limited staff and expertise, are increasingly looking to MSPs to manage their IT operations—including security. This outsourced model of IT management, combined with the increase in global internet security threats, requires an endpoint security solution that can be delivered as a service. In Webroot, MSPs find a partner that delivers a highly effective weapon against viruses and malware in an easily-deployable solution that is also simple to manage remotely, lowers overhead costs, and enables MSPs to provide security more profitably.
"As the threat landscape becomes more complex, MSPs are turning to Webroot for a scalable, easy-to-manage security solution that helps reduce costs and improve productivity," said Charlie Tomeo, vice president of managed service provider channel at Webroot. "By expanding our integration within LabTech Software's RMM platform and ConnectWise's PSA solutions, Webroot is further enabling MSPs to more easily deliver cloud-based protection that is highly effective and easy to deploy and manage, making it an ideal solution to meet the unique needs of MSP partners."
Channel Partnerships Accelerate Expansion
The expanded Webroot® and LabTech integration enables LabTech partners of any size to integrate with Webroot, and the deployment is seamless, regardless of server requirements. With a single point of interaction—the LabTech Control Center—administrators can easily monitor protection statuses, threat counts, check-in times and program versions for the latest data. On premise and LabTech Cloud compatible, this integration supports the standard Webroot management console and the new SecureAnywhere™ Global Site Manager. This enables Webroot's growing network of managed service providers (MSPs) to deliver endpoint security services more easily and efficiently.
"The latest release of Webroot's integration into the LabTech platform further demonstrates their commitment to the IT service provider community," said Jason Magee, vice president of Worldwide Channels and Alliances at LabTech Software. "Their work in designing an improved graphical user interface (GUI) built around LabTech best practices will help LabTech partners to create efficiencies. Webroot is a true innovator and LabTech partners will greatly benefit from the new Global Site Manager Console. We are very excited to offer the newest integration to our LabTech partners."
Webroot also announced its initial integration with ConnectWise Professional Services Automation (PSA) software, which allows MSPs to streamline the creation, routing and reporting of tickets. Alerts generated from the Global Site Manager, and processed through ConnectWise's Email Connector Module, will be quickly routed to the correct company or support group at any sign of infection or install error. This process and the resulting workflow improvement will enable MSPs to easily manipulate tickets within the ConnectWise system.
New Security Management Platform Introduced
The Webroot SecureAnywhere® Global Site Manager is an advanced cloud-based management console for use with SecureAnywhere™ Business – Endpoint Protection. This new management tool was developed as a no-cost alternative to the standard Webroot console, enabling providers to administer complex, multi-customer SecureAnywhere deployments in a more straightforward and manageable fashion. Global Site Manager is also highly scalable, allowing hundreds of customers and thousands of endpoints to be managed via a single console and yet enables MSPs to quickly identify security incidents that may be impacting one or more of their customers.
Significant Market Momentum
Webroot achieved 246 percent year-over-year channel segment growth to date in calendar 2014, driven by MSP partners that are rapidly adopting Webroot SecureAnywhere® Business – Endpoint Protection and Webroot SecureAnywhere® Business – Mobile Protection to protect their clients and provide remote security management and administration. MSPs such as Marathon Consulting, Symmetric Engineering Group, The Infinite Group, and Vantage Point Solutions adopted Webroot SecureAnywhere protection based on their superior security and manageability.
Webroot at Automation Nation
Webroot will be demonstrating Webroot SecureAnywhere Global Site Manager at Automation Nation on June 2-4, 2014 in Orlando Florida, Booth #204. In addition, David Duncan, Webroot CMO, will co-present the keynote on Tuesday, June 3 at 8:00 a.m. Andrew Bagnato, Webroot senior systems engineer, will also host a speaking session at Automation Nation, entitled "Rethinking Security Strategies for Today's Modern Threats," that will run Tuesday, June 3 at 4:00 p.m. in the Palm Beach Room.
