Kipnis, Indians put extension talks on hold
ST. PETERSBURG -- Indians second baseman Jason Kipnis confirmed Saturday that he and the Indians have tabled their discussions regarding a long-term extension until the offseason.
Kipnis said both sides had agreed that they would negotiate until Opening Day then not discuss it again until the Indians' season ends. The Cleveland Plain Dealer first reported Friday that those negotiations had ceased.
"Neither side wanted it to be a distraction," Kipnis said Saturday. "We both agreed that we'd put up 'til April 2. Deal gets done, it gets done. If not, it doesn't. It's not the end of the world, either way. I think both sides felt comfortable putting the deadline there."
Kipnis, 26, has registered just more than a year of service time in the Majors, and 2012 was his first full big-league season. He will make $509,400 this year and doesn't figure to become arbitration-eligible until after the 2014 season, at the earliest.
Kipnis posted a .257/.335/.379 batting line in 152 games last season, hitting 14 homers with 76 RBIs and 31 stolen bases. When this season ends, he would be open to resuming talks about a multiyear deal that would keep him in Cleveland.
"There's definitely always a possibility. Always going to keep an open ear to something like that," Kipnis said. "I have no reason not to. Anyone would love to, so we'll just see what happens after this year."

It looks like you are planning this exercise for detailed comprehension. I would first try to work out some more general questions or a multiple choice test for general comprehension. As to the questions, they are more or less fine to me, except the first one. Alex didn't rise from the field, he sat up which means he was still on the ground, not lying now as it was before the woman came up to him, but sitting.

A growing number of government agencies are switching to Google Apps for Government, following a trend of individual users opting for the cloud-based office suite. A lot of people also just use Gmail.
Google Apps has its advantages, but it's still a new experience for anyone making the switch. As we discovered last year, a lot of people have been using Microsoft Office for years without being aware of many of its great built-in keyboard shortcuts, so we thought this would be a good time to pass along some handy tricks for working in Google Apps.
Related story:
18 keyboard shortcuts you really should know (and probably don't)
Some of these, interestingly, are single-key shortcuts that work when you're cursor is outside of a live text field, such as the To: line or the body of an e-mail. When you're in those fields, you can type normally, of course. When you don't have a cursor anywhere you can input text, that's when the shortcuts work.
So if you're getting started with Google Apps, you might find these useful. And remember, you might have to turn them on in your settings in order to use them.
1. Search Mode ( / )If you need to search for something really quickly, just type "/" to move the cursor over to the search field. This should save a lot of mouse activity if you are a frequent searcher.
2. Compose New Message ( c )This will bring up a new message in Gmail that you can start typing in. If you want to open a new message in a new window, then you will need to hit "Shift + c". But be aware that this function will be stopped by any pop-up blockers your browser might have active.
3. The Go-to Jump Combos ( g then i, g then c, g then k, g then t, g then d )These send you to various locales within Google Apps straight away. "g then i" (that is, typing "g" then typing "i" rather than pressing them down together) takes you to your Gmail Inbox, "g then c" goes to Contacts, "g then k" shows you your task list, "g then t" brings you to your Sent Items folder, and "g then d" will bring up your draft e-mails.
4. Reply ( r ) and Reply All ( a )Never again will you inadvertently send replies to the wrong group of people. Well, maybe not 'never,' but having the two types of replying in two separate functions that are three keys apart might help.
5. Report Spam ( ! )Reporting spam helps e-mail servers learn what e-mail is OK to pass along and what isn't. Sometimes however it involves too many hoops to jump through, so many users won't bother. Here you can do it with a shift and a keystroke.
6. Conversation Archiving ( [ ) ( ] )The conversation view is one of the cooler offerings of Google Apps. When you are looking at a string of e-mails, chats or documents all tied to the same conversation, you can hit "]" to archive it and move to the next one. "[" does the same thing, except it takes you to the previous conversation.
7. Send Message (Tab then Enter)Once you are done composing a message, just hit this combo to send it along. Of course, making it this easy to send a message might cause an increase in the number of messages made in haste that you immediately regret sending!
8. Shortcuts Help ( ? )This might be the most important one, because it allows you to see all of the others. Be sure to use it to check out the additional shortcuts that we didn't include here.

The Persistence of Vision Raytracer (POV-Ray).
This is the legacy Bug Tracking System for the POV-Ray project. Bugs listed here are being migrated to our github issue tracker. Please refer to that for new reports or updates to existing ones on this system.
FS#145 - Stack trace report on error
Opened by Mike H (SharkD) - Sunday, 20 June 2010, 19:23 GMT
Last edited by William F Pokorny (wfpokorny) - Saturday, 21 January 2017, 15:45 GMT
In other languages if you encounter an error you'll often be presented with a stack trace showing not only the file and line number the error occurred at, but also any calling functions and _their_ calling functions and so on.
Currently, Povray reports the line number of the error as well as the last five or so lines prior to the error. This is usually OK in simple scenes, but breaks down when you start making use of inclusion and macros.
Let's say you have a macro located in a file that you then include in your scene. Within your scene you call the macro multiple times, passing input to it. However, by accident you pass _invalid_ input to the macro at some point, resulting in an error when parsing. In this case Povray will report the error as belonging to the macro whereas the actual bug exists in the calling code. If the macro is called more than once in your scene it can be difficult to figure out _which_ instance is the one supplying the bad input.
Not sure how much of this is achievable in Povray.
It would be possible using existing code to trace the inclusions of files via #debug statements, which could be conditionally enabled if you are trying to trace down a problem. However that isn't very convenient.
The current POV-Ray code does have available the tree of included files, which I suppose we could print. Note that a true stack trace as you are describing isn't really the right thing because macros aren't functions. The include tree (which would include the line the file was included from) should be sufficient. I'll keep this in mind, but no guarantee it'll be added.
Is it possible to track the position where the macro was called from? Or are macros expanded at a different stage than they are evaluated at?
Consider the following case:
#macro this_and_that(them) them #end #debug this_and_that("those")
The first case works properly.
#macro this_and_that(them) them #end #debug this_and_that(4)
In the second case the error is reported as being within the macro.
#macro this_and_that(them) them #end #debug this_and_that()
But in the third case the parser knows to go to the calling block instead.
I have a fairly concrete idea how to implement this and will take a look.
Any progress ? (just wondering)
No progress in the core code, but I do have an on the fly parser for the preprocessor in my branch of the smp tree in Perforce. Currently its used for context sensitive syntax-highlighting in my Qt-based frontend development. For the backend I have a somewhat different idea though.

text: The number one most annoying thing about Facebook right now is that half the time you click to look at a friend's shared link, a prompt pops up asking you to add the associated social app. So to read a Washington Post story or listen to a song on Soundcloud directly from Facebook, you have to also be willing to share what you read or watch or listen to with the world. What is supposed to be helpful, is instead obnoxious, invasive and unnecessary. Ugh.

Secretary of State John Kerry helped broker the deal to remove chemical weapons from Syria. He's been in his State Department post since February, and in that time has had a full portfolio - Syria, Iran, another attempt at Mideast peace talks. To better gauge how John Kerry's performed during his first year on the job, we called David Ignatius. He is a columnist for the Washington Post. Thanks so much for joining us.
DAVID IGNATIUS: Oh, happy to be with you.
LUDDEN: Hillary Clinton was a popular secretary of state. The thinking was John Kerry had big shoes to fill. What's the thinking now?
IGNATIUS: Well, if Hillary Clinton was a wonderful representational secretary of state, I think of John Kerry as more a transactional secretary of state. From the beginning, he has been interested in trying to make deals, usually in secret, usually saying as little about what he's doing as he can get away with. When you look back at Hillary Clinton, you see a sparkling record but very few of those deals.
LUDDEN: Kerry has also stepped into nail down an interim agreement with Iran to curb its nuclear program. How much of a role has he had in this reengagement with Iran?
IGNATIUS: The Iran negotiation - and I say this having just been in Iran a week ago - is really a remarkable piece of diplomacy. We now know that the initial steps were actually laid by Secretary of State Clinton at President Obama's direction last year. Kerry continued that. Kerry, interestingly, intervened at key moments with his Iranian counterpart, Javad Zarif, the foreign minister of Iran, who I interviewed when I was in Iran. And Zarif made the point when there was trouble in the negotiations, when the Iranians had had worries about what they thought were changes in the script of the interim agreement, Kerry stepped in. So, Kerry has been the intervener at key moments to keep this negotiation going.
LUDDEN: Now, as if this wasn't all enough, he has been working to jump-start peace talks between the Israelis and Palestinians. Certainly a feat in itself, but has there been any real movement there?
IGNATIUS: Well, the thing about the Israeli-Palestinian negotiations is this has been a rare example of keeping quiet diplomacy genuinely quiet. What we know is, is that Secretary Kerry got the two parties back into discussions. The peace process had totally broken down. And he got them to agree to initial confidence-building measures. But this is really diplomacy's mission impossible. Every administration wants to tackle it, tries to, and in his first months, Kerry was, I would say, almost ridiculed for thinking that he could take this up and make some progress. He stuck with it. He ignored the critics. And we'll see next year what he has produced. There really is a deadline for this process - runs out in the spring, kind of March, April, that timeframe. And if Kerry hasn't produced something by then, I think the process is going to fall apart.
LUDDEN: Well, after pretty much not much at all happening, the entire first Obama administration, it almost feels like Kerry is more invested in this than perhaps the White House is.
IGNATIUS: I think President Obama felt burned by his efforts to involve himself in the Middle East, felt that in the end he'd gotten nothing for his trouble except political unpopularity at home. But he'd chosen John Kerry as secretary of state who really was dying to have his chance to make his mark. And Kerry took on all the things that President Obama seemed himself to be sick of, at a time when President Obama wants to work more on domestic issues, has to worry about health care. John Kerry's been there to be an overdrive as a secretary of state doing negotiating work that the president normally might do but in this case has been left to the secretary.
LUDDEN: David Ignatius is a columnist for the Washington Post. Thank you so much for speaking with us.
IGNATIUS: Thanks very much.

The Rapids' front office has been busy this offseason revamping the team's offense, but the changes weren't limited to the product on the field. The team's most vocal supporters will have a better view of the action this season, thanks to some upgrades at Dick's Sporting Goods Park.
The old wooden risers in the Supporters Terrace have been replaced by bleachers that the Rapids say will increase capacity and improve sight lines.
Spanning the north goal line, the Supporters Terrace is a section where the team's most ardent backers wave flags, sing songs and chants, beat drums and toss confetti in celebration.

Dishes that Didn't Make the Cut Part 2
As I have a huge backlog of recipes to post and like to share most of what I make, this post will be another unbloggable/dishes that didn't make the cut.
Easy Maple-Soy Seared Tofu (from Healthy. Happy. Life on The Family Kitchen)
I LOVE tofu and this seared tofu looked too delicious. In reality it resulted in oil splattering everywhere (not the recipe's fault, I need a splatter screen) and more importantly the tofu didn't have a strong flavour. Admittedly I didn't press my tofu, but still if I'm going to have some sort of seared maple soy tofu, I much prefer Matthew's Delicious Tofu.
Creamy Broccoli Dal (from Vegan Yum Yum)
I love the Vegan Yum Yum cookbook (if you couldn't already tell) and I know many other bloggers love this recipe but it was just okay to me. I didn't find it very flavourful.
Vegan Pumpkin Mac n Cheeze (from Oh She Glows)
I feel like I've tried my fair share of vegan cheeze sauces and as much as I want to love them, I've never found one that I liked. So for me this was just okay, but for someone who likes vegan cheeze sauces, it may be amazing.
Moroccan Vegetable Pie with Chickpea Crust (from Canadian Living: The Vegetarian Collection)
As you can see, I had some trouble with the chickpea crust. I'm no crust wizard but I've never had such an unsuccessful crust before. The dough was so dry and crumbly and I couldn't really roll it out so I just pressed it into place. I should've added more liquid to the dough to begin with. The filling was okay but nothing special. A neat idea but unfortunately something that didn't work out too well.
I was in Stroybrooke yesterday! (That's where my dentist is. And for those of you that don't know, Storybrooke is the town in the TV show Once Upon a Time.)

Ok so none of the thins I tried so far seems to be working. It is getting really annoying, especially because it is a brand new laptop. Is there anything else I could try?
Can you run a simple test for us,
1) take note of the time then start playing a game (since it happens during gaming it might be easier to repicate random freezing while doing so)
2) when the freezing/lag starts get out of the game again take note of the time
3) Then go into event veiwer ---.windows log ---> systems and see if you have an event logged (a warning) that corresponds with the time you started playing.
4) if there is an entry like "event 37". can you tell us what the event number is and what it says.
If the warning you're getting is, "The speed of processor X in group 0 is being limited by system firmware. The processor has been in this reduced performance state for X seconds since the last report." please post here stating that you have the same problem and would like Lenovo to spend some of the money you and other Y570 owners have invested in the company to find a solution.
As I stated in the posts above, I do have that warning in my event viewer. But, I already checked 2 times as soon as the error occurred, and none of the warnings matched the time stamp of the actual glitch I experienced. So far, it has happened during youtube playback, movie playback, listening to music, gaming, during installation with music on. But as I browsed trough this forum, none of the errors people are reporting match mine. I really have no idea what to do.
Which Nvidia drivers are you using?
I am using the 268.44.
But that is probably irrelevant now, because it seems the problem is gone. I fixed it!
All I had to do was to uninstall the McAfee antivirus that was a part of the bloatware. I had 2 more months worth of license, but I removed it with a smile on my face. I'd rather have a usable laptop than a secure paperweight.
I will try some free solution for the time being like Avira or something like that and I'll report if the problem returns. But for now, spread these words of wisdom to those who have a similar problem.
Oh and just to be sure, I'll try to use it tonight for 3 straight hours of gaming, videos and what not. I already tested it for 2 hours, also gave my sister to use it couple more, we both didn't find any traces of hiccup. I'll post this in that battery/AC topic as well. It might help someone.
03-14-2012 02:09 PM - edited 03-14-2012 02:17 PM
I'm glad you some how fixed it, but this is really weird seeing most people who are using those drivers have wosre problems than you experienced.
>>In addition<<
It would be of great help to the Y570 owners seeing don't have this problem, if you keep a record of what is installed on your laptop into the future, just in case you start experiencing the problems many have.
No, actually, the stuttering didn't return once in these last 3 days. I also checked my CPU temperature numerous times and it never went higher than 64C, even when I was gaming for 2 hours at a time.
I have my own logic behind this problem. When the CPU hits the 100% mark of usage, it will stutter. I don't know why, it may be because 95% of the application are not optimized to use all 4(8) cores, but only 1 or 2.
I think this because I fixed my problem with McAfee. As you know from time to time every antivirus will use a vast amount of resources for reasons I don't yet understand. And in that moment you'll get those big spikes.
Honestly, I don't think it's overheating because my y570 can't go above 64-5 degrees Celsius, and since the problem hasn't returned once in the last 3 days(since I uninstaled the McAfee) I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the CPU usage or a part of the antivirus protection module.
I can't really explain it well enough since English is not my native language, but i hope you get the picture.
I have been getting the same problem the error says "The device, \Device\Ide\iaStor0, did not respond within the timeout"

It's a standard line at the doctor's office, "if there's anything wrong, we'll give you a call." Well, don't hold your breath. Primary care providers – from clinicians to staff – can sometimes fail to inform patients of abnormal test results or to document that they have made contact, according to a study by Cornell Medical College.
Authors of the report, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association' Archives of Internal Medicine, reviewed the medical records of nearly 3,500 patients from 23 primary care facilities and surveyed physicians about their process for managing test results. They found that, on average, 7.1 percent of the time either patients were not informed of abnormal test results or clinicians failed to document that they had informed patients about their results.
"Failure rates varied widely among practices... from 0 percent to 26 percent," the study says. Clinics with better processes in place were found to have lower failure rates. Practices that used a combination of paper and electronic records—a so-called partial electronic medical record—had the highest failure rates. But there was no significant difference between practices that used only electronic or paper records.
The authors write, "There are many steps in the testing process, which extends from ordering a test to providing appropriate follow-up; an error in any one of these steps can have lethal consequences."
The upshot? If you haven't heard from the doctor, you might want to make a call yourself... just in case.

GORHAM, Maine—Behind a dominating 29-2 shot advantage, UMass Boston women's soccer cruised to a 2-0 victory over the University of Southern Maine Saturday afternoon in both team's Little East Conference opener at Hannaford Field.
Forwards Krista Ledin (Bridgewater, Mass.) and Tayla Andrews (Plymouth, Mass.) each finished with a goal and an assist to improve the defending Little East Conference Champions record to 3-3 and 1-0 in conference play. The host Huskies dropped their fourth straight contest as they fell to 3-5 and 0-1 in Little East play.
Ledin struck just over five minutes into the contest and it was all Beacons from there, as UMass Boston earned their seventh straight win over Southern Maine.
Goaltender Kristen Spain (Quincy, Mass.) made one save to pick up her second shutout of the year and 10th of her career. The shutout put her into a tie for first all-time in UMass Boston history with teammate Dani Perkins (Murrieta, Calif.) who recorded 10 shutouts in 2011.
Southern Maine senior goaltender Katie Cobb made 11 saves on 13 shots to fall to 3-5 on the year.
The Beacons opened up the scoring at the 5:03 mark, when Ledin took a pass from Andrews and rammed it home for her team-leading sixth tally of the year.
Ledin returned the favor in the 25th minute, when Ledin fed Andrews, who promptly found the back of the net to make it 2-0 Beacons at the 24:36 mark. Andrews has now recorded a point in five of six of the team's games this year, including an assist in each of the past three games.
UMass Boston would continue to dominate first-half play, as the Beacons earned a 13-0 shot advantage and 5-1 edge in corners in the first stanza.
Second-half play would be more of the same, as Cobb came up with six saves to keep the deficit at two, while Spain made her only save of the day at the 48:13 mark, when she stopped a Jordan Grant shot.
Grant managed to hit the post minutes later, but those would be the only two shots Southern Maine could muster.
UMass Boston will return home Wednesday afternoon to host intra-city rival Suffolk University at 3:30 p.m.
