Going off of the silhouette of the phantom, I think it's the mayor. He was one of my previous guesses. Costumes can be deceiving, though.

It is a good deduction.

The 246 Mary Kay employees who participated were trained as part of the company's partnership with El Centro, totaling 7,138 training hours during a two-year period.
El Centro College – Bill J. Priest Campus
Lean principles with specific industrial applications for Mary Kay employees in administration and production. Lean principles were first created by Toyota to reduce waste by defining, measuring, analyzing and improving processes in manufacturing. Lean management seeks to eliminate wastes of time and money through team-based problem solving.
Mary Kay Inc. has offered irresistible products, a rewarding opportunity and positive community impact for more than 50 years. With 3 million Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultants and $3.5 billion in global annual wholesale sales, Mary Kay is a top beauty brand and direct seller in more than 35 markets around the world.
To provide Lean manufacturing and management principles, including specific training in industrial maintenance and comprehensive refrigeration, to a diverse group of administrators, technical employees and production line technicians.
Funding in the amount of $294,489 was awarded through a Texas Workforce Commission Skills Development Fund grant for training in Advanced Improved Manufacturing (AIM) for full-time employees during a 12-month period.
View a transcript.
The 246 Mary Kay employees who participated were trained for a total of 7,138 training hours over the two-year grant from August 2012 to August 2014.
A particular challenge on the production line needed addressing: there were few maintenance engineers to attend to issues as they arose and assistants didn't have the level of technical expertise required to solve problems on their own. To increase skill levels, industrial maintenance classes were customized to the company's specific machines and taught to approximately 60 line technicians.
El Centro conducted thorough discovery to determine critical training needs, hiring qualified subject matter experts to provide hands-on instruction. The college maintained open lines of communication with company representatives on participant feedback and responded to that feedback during training.
Through the Lean process, Mary Kay trainees were able to follow a newly developed road map which they were a part of crafting, coming away with the ability to explain tasks to other workers with greater clarity. A larger pool of capable technicians is now available for troubleshooting on the production line. Following training, the company reported a rise in employee engagement and ability to handle mechanical issues, with downtime also reduced.
Consistent communication is the key to meeting or exceeding client expectations. It is imperative to employ high-quality instructors to meet the company's needs for this training and to ensure that the company returns to the college for future training needs.
I would like to thank the staff at (El Centro College) Bill J. Priest. They did an incredible job finding instructors and accommodating our requests. Mary Kay has enjoyed this partnership and we look forward to partnering with (them) for future training opportunities.

The Accounting Historians Journal Vol. 8, No. 2 Fall 1981 Turgut Var SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY BONSIGNORI FAMILY ESTATE ACCOUNTING 1461-1632 Abstract: The paper investigates the Bonsignori accounts that are in the archives of the University of Kansas, Spencer Research Library. The file contains 133 docu-ments and bound books relating to the affairs of the Filippo Bonsignori family be-tween 1455 and 1632. The most important documents deal with accounting and administration of Filippo Bonsignori's will. The time period involved (1455 to 1632) permits some study of the developments in accounting methods used in fulfilling fiduciary responsibilities. The paper provides insight into the history of Florentine estate accounting. The history of the city of Florence has been more closely ex-amined than that of any other city. Apart from the intrinsic fasci-nation of the city's rich cultural tradition, much of the magnetic force that continues to attract historians emanates from the city's seemingly inexhaustible archival resources. Based on the existing evidence, Florentines were remarkable record-keepers. In docu-ments ranging from historical chronicles to personal accounts, they recorded the events of their lives. Their documents have sur-vived in such quantity and variety that today the city's archives have few rivals that can yield as many secrets of their pasts. Despite continuing scholarly activities, there are still vast collec-tions of documents which have not yet been charted and classified.1 In addition to the documents in Italy a large number of copies have been scattered all over the world. The archives that are owned by Spencer Research Library of the University of Kansas are a good example of the extent of the Florentine record-keeping tradition which stressed the maxim that "paper costs little, and often it returns a good profit."2 The primary objective of this paper is to present the results of the investigations of the Bonsignori3 family accounts that are in the archives of the University of Kansas, Spencer Research Library. The author wishes to thank the staff of Spencer Research Library, University of Kansas for their kind help and Daniel L. McDonald and Irene M. Gordon for their valuable criticism.

Story highlights
- Trial of Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta had been scheduled to start on November 12
- Kenyatta charged in International Criminal Court with five counts of crimes against humanity
- Charges accuse him of funding militia that conducted attacks after disputed 2007 election
- Attacks happened six years before Kenyatta was elected to presidency
The International Criminal Court on Thursday postponed the beginning of Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta's trial on charges of crimes against humanity by three months to February 5, accepting a defense request for more preparation time.
The trial at the Netherlands-based ICC had been scheduled to begin on November 12. The prosecution agreed that certain issues raised by the defense merited further investigation, the court said.
Kenyatta was charged last year with five counts of crimes against humanity, stemming from violence that plagued a disputed 2007 Kenyan presidential election, in which then-incumbent President Mwai Kibaki was declared the winner.
More than 1,000 people died and hundreds of thousands were displaced when ethnic groups loyal to leading candidates in the December 2007 election torched homes and hacked rivals to death. The charges accuse Kenyatta, who backed Kibaki in the election, of funding a local militia that conducted reprisal attacks.
Kibaki continued to serve as President until this year. Kenyatta, the son of Kenya's founding leader, was elected in March and took office in April.
The ICC has also accused Deputy President William Ruto of orchestrating attacks. A third suspect, radio personality Joshua arap Sang, is being tried alongside Ruto on similar charges; the trial of these two began in September.
Kenyatta and Ruto have denied accusations that they coordinated violence among their respective ethnic groups after the disputed election.
The court -- set up in 2002 to try claims of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes -- has ordered Kenyatta to attend opening and closing statements, but has excused him from being at the trial otherwise.
The Kenyan parliament voted in September to withdraw from the court's jurisdiction after repeatedly calling on it to drop the cases. But a withdrawal would take a while to implement because it involves steps such as a formal notification to the United Nations, and the ICC said the trials would proceed. Kenyatta has said he and Ruto would cooperate with the court to clear their names.
Kenya's previous administration reneged on a deal to set up a special tribunal to try suspects in the post-election violence, prompting the international court to step in.
Kenya is the second African nation after Sudan to have a sitting president facing charges at the International Criminal Court. Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir has largely shunned an ICC warrant for his arrest for alleged war crimes.

November SEOM shows team spirit every day
As office associate in Disability Services for many years, Darla Van Horn was the go-to person for students, parents, employees and other visitors to the department, who knew her as the friendly voice on the phone and the familiar face in the office.
Although she has recently taken on a new job in Human Resources as a coordinator in the compliance office, Van Horn was nominated for the Staff Employee of the Month by Disability Services coworkers Marie Potts and Jerrilyn Heine, and received the award from President Harrison at the Nov. 13 First Wednesday meeting.
"Darla proves over and over again her love of Columbus State through her actions and attitude," wrote Potts and Heine in their nomination. "The nomination has four areas for which an employee can be nominated. Darla deserves this award because she does, and continues to do, outstanding work in all four categories."
"One excellent example is her coordination of three Open Houses for students with disabilities. Darla spent many hours contacting presenters and participants for these events. Disability Services has offered Open Houses many times over the years. Darla's was the first to be truly successful!"
"She excels as a team player—one way she does this is by serving on Staff Advisory Council, where she has been an officer for the past several years and does a wonderful job keeping information flowing across all departments. She took a very active role in coordinating the 5K races at the golf course, which raised thousands of dollars for book scholarships."
"Darla makes a difference to Columbus State and the members of the campus community every day," wrote Heine and Potts. "She strives to bring out the Columbus State spirit in others."
Jerry Wray, Director of the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT)(center) stopped by Columbus State on Tuesday to thank President Harrison for working hand-in-hand with ODOT during construction of the Columbus Crossroads project. Wray said he knows it has been an inconvenience for staff and students and that he appreciates our patience during the two-year project. Mark French, third from left, and John Nestor, left, Facilities Management, were also on hand for the formal "thank you."
Woodwinds to perform Nov. 19
The Columbus State Woodwind Ensemble will perform a free concert in the TL-123 music room on Tuesday, November 19, at 4:30 p.m. The program will include the works of Handel, Beethoven, Scott Joplin, and William Grant Still. Narration will be provided by director Thomas Lloyd. For more information contact Lloyd.
New Compliance and Equity Office administers Title IX
Title IX is a federal law that is part of the Education Amendments Act of 1972 which states in part that "No person… shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance." The law ensures that faculty, staff, students, athletes and visitors experience a non-discriminatory environment at Columbus State.
Ensuring Title IX compliance are, from left, Danette Vance, Darla Van Horn,
and Stephanie Bostos Demers
Columbus State employees are obligated to report any conduct that may be a potential violation as soon as it is known, and let victims know that they may report questionable conduct to: Title IX coordinator or Deputy Title IX coordinators; supervisors, directors, chairpersons, deans or other administrators; HR employees; the dean of Student Life and Student Conduct officials; coaches or the athletic director; or campus police and security officers.
The Office of Compliance and Equity, under the direction of Stephanie Bostos Demers, will ensure compliance with this law at Columbus State. Danette Vance will serve as Deputy Coordinator for Human Resources, and Darla Van Horn serves as Deputy Coordinator for Student Affairs. A Title IX fact sheet can be found online here. The office email for any questions or concerns is firstname.lastname@example.com.
United Health Care November newsletter online
The UHC newsletter Wellness Online features articles on healthy holiday eating, the risks of diabetes, the Great American Smokeout, and even a recipe for heart-healthy pumpkin soup! Check it out!
Landscape students taking orders for holiday plants
The Columbus State Landscape Association will again sell holiday poinsettias as a fundraiser for their trip to the national landscape competition Student Career Days, which will be held in Colorado this March. The flowers range from $7 for a five-inch pot with one plant, to $45 for a 14-inch pot with eight poinsettias. To receive an order form by email, or to order your poinsettias directly, contact CSLA president Samantha August, at email@example.com or call her at (614) 359-4799. The deadline to order plants is Friday, November 22, and you will be able to pick up your flowers on campus during the first week of December.

Get the Look: Contemporary Mantels
Contemporary mantels are appealing for their simple, clean lines and unfussy style
- « prev
- next »
- 1 of 21
Cool Blue
A geometric mantel has a cool, crisp look perfect for the simplified beach house living room.
Leather Library
Exuding warmth in the library, an elegant mantel gets a contemporary update with the addition of handsome leather panels above.
Clean Lines
A Rookwood-tile fireplace original to the 1924 Spanish Colonial home, is topped with a clean-lined mantel.
Mix and Match
Mixing the stone fireplace surround with a traditional white mantel creates a contemporary look that is perfectly suited for this living room.
Spooky Scene
With birds flying overhead and ghosts shrieking underfoot, a simple white mantel is all that's needed in this Halloween-themed room.
Simply Warm
Bringing extra warmth to the sun porch is a two-sided gas fireplace with a barely-there mantel.
Sleek and Glamorous
The library in the 2012 Napa Valley Showhouse is nothing but glamorous. A sleek mantel in a French limestone finish is icing on the cake.
Balancing Act
In a very colorful family room designed by Donald Schermerhorn, a thin, white mantel shelf breaks up an offset-stone fireplace surround.
Everything Goes
Bathed in white, this elegant living room with its grand coffee table and antique chairs is also comfortably livable—just take a look at the subtle mantel or have a seat on the full sofa. "You need a bit of everything – high, low, beautiful, homely, grand, and always a little something to make you laugh," says homeowner and designer Collette Van Den Thillart.
Good Wood
Beautiful and understated, this mantel not only looks good in the living room, but as a part of Healthy Home 2010 it's also good for the environment. It was made locally from a felled walnut tree and finished with a natural lacquer derived from tree sap.
Shabby Chic
A whitewashed mantel gets a chic upgrade with the addition of mirrors above.
Artsy Allure
This cool blue space is punctuated with a casual white mantel and artsy accessories.
Pretty and Pristine
In a pristine living room, symmetry prevails; pairs of chairs center around a simple fireplace vignette.
Eclectic Feel
A white mantel shelf perches atop a white marble fireplace surround in this eclectic bedroom.
Comfortably Cool
Comfort is king in this family room. Simple, livable design doesn't have to be boring, as witnessed by the octagonal mohair ottoman.
Nice Nook
Tucked into an arched inglenook, a limestone fireplace lies out of the way.
Simply Sophisticated
A custom fireplace surround and mantel work effortlessly with the "Contessa Chinois" tiles from Walker Zanger. In front of the fireplace, a vintage bench reupholstered in a silver metallic snakeskin adds a bit of bling.
Orange Glow
The panel above the unobtrusive fireplace surround conceals a TV.
Easy Breezy
Simple, clean lines on the mantel add to the airy, sophisticated look of this living room designed by Patricia Healing and Dan Barsanti for the 2010 Hampton Designer Showhouse.
Thin Slice
Popping ever so subtly out of a terra-cotta colored wall is a thin sliver of black mantel.

As the world fights obesity at the human level, scientists at the University of Michigan and their colleagues have made a surprising finding at the microscopic level that could help fuel that fight.
Photo Credit: U-M, MacDougald Laboratory With obesity comes an increase in adipocyte cell size and number. This image of white adipose tissue shows fat storage cells (green) and nearby blood vessels (orange), with cell nuclei shown in blue.
Their work helps explain why fat-storing cells get fatter, and burn fat slower, as obesity sets in. If their findings from mice can be shown to apply to humans, they may provide a new target for obesity-fighting drugs.
By studying the tiny signals that fat-storing cells send to one another, the team has shown a crucial and previously unknown role for a molecule called Sfrp5.
The results, which appear online today and will be in the July issue of the Journal of Clinical Investigation, surprised them.
In a series of experiments, the team showed that Sfrp5 influences a signaling pathway known as WNT to stimulate fat cells – called adipocytes – to grow larger and to suppress the rate at which fat is burned in the mitochondria inside them.
By stopping cells from making Sfrp5, they were able to make mice that didn't get as fat as quickly because their adipocytes didn't grow large – even when the mice were fed a high-fat diet. They even showed the impact when transplanting fat from Sfrp5—deficient mice into other mice.
The research was performed with National Institutes of Health funding in the U-M Medical School laboratory of Ormond MacDougald, Ph.D., the Faulkner Professor in the Department of Molecular & Integrative Physiology, a professor of internal medicine and a member of U-M's Brehm Center for Diabetes Research.
Working with postdoctoral fellow and first author Hiroyuki Mori, M.D., Ph.D., and colleagues, MacDougald says the team built on its previous findings about the importance of WNT signaling in fat cell development.
"WNT signaling plays a crucial role in regulating, and inhibiting, white fat cell growth and the recruitment of new cells to store fat," he explains. "But it appears that in obesity, Sfrp5 can interfere with that signaling, and may create a feedback loop that keeps stimulating production of more of itself."
He notes that the new results contradict previous work published by another group, which found essentially the opposite role for Sfrp5. A commentary accompanying the new U-M paper, by scientists from Denmark, notes the strong evidence behind the new findings and emphasizes the importance of further research on the topic.
MacDougald and his team zeroed in on Sfrp5 after years of studying WNT signaling between adipocytes. They and other teams had already seen that the amounts of Sfrp5 produced within fat tissue were higher in obese animals.
They were able to breed mice that could not make the molecule, and expected to see that these mice resisted obesity because they couldn't convert more cells into adipocytes to store excess fat from their high-fat diet.
But instead, they found that the mice without Sfrp5 did have just as many fat cells as other mice — but that these cells didn't accumulate fat and grow bigger. As a result, the mice didn't get fat, no matter how rich their diet.
Looking more closely at Sfrp5-deficient mice, they saw a surge of activity in expression of genes related to mitochondria – the furnaces inside cells that burn fat or other fuel to power cell activity. It was as if the furnaces had been stoked when Sfrp5 wasn't present, so fat could be burned at a higher rate than normal.
"From our results, we believe that Sfrp5 is an important moderator of mitochondrial activity, the first time this has been seen for the WNT signaling pathway in adipocytes," says Mori. "This underscores the complexity of WNT signaling."
In essence, MacDougald says, Sfrp5 poses as a decoy receptor for WNT signals to bind to, keeping them from binding to the receptors on the cell surface that they otherwise would bind to. With WNT signaling reduced, cells store fat and grow larger, and don't burn it as quickly. Then, the cells produce even more Sfrp5, creating the feedback loop that perpetuates the tendency for adipocytes to accumulate lipid.
While pharmaceutical companies are already looking at WNT signaling as a possible target for drugs related to bone formation, the new findings suggest that perhaps the same signaling pathway could be a target for anti-obesity drugs.
But, MacDougald cautions, the findings need to be explored further in both mice and humans. With the obesity epidemic putting hundreds of millions of people at risk of all types of diseases, that research has a special urgency behind it.
In addition to MacDougald and Mori, the research team included Tyler C. Prestwich, who received a Ph.D. from U-M's Cell and Molecular Biology program and is a co-first author, Michael A. Reid, a former U-M student; former U-M postdoctoral fellow and current Proteostasis Therapeutics employee Kenneth Longo; former postdoctoral fellow Isabelle Gerin; current fellow William Cawthorn; as well as Vedrana S. Susulic, Venkatesh Krishnan, and Andy Greenfield.
The work was supported by grants DK51563 and DK62876 from the NIH's National Institute for Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, and by Mori's mentor-based postdoctoral fellowship from the American Diabetes Association. The team used two core research facilities at the U-M Medical School: the Animal Phenotyping Core of the Nutrition Obesity Research Center, supported by NIH grant DK089503, and the Morphology Core of the Michigan Diabetes Research and Training Center, supported by NIH grant P60DK020572.

This is funny. Not two months ago the world was running out of oil and if we did not stop what we were doing and make a complete reversal of our oil economy we were doomed.
Two months later oil has dropped nearly 50% from it's $147 high. Gas is down an average of $1.00 and as soon as the futures that were purchased at higher prices are delivered and sold gas prices at the pump will fall even more. OPEC is talking about cutting production (IE: we are pumping too much oil) to raise prices, etc, etc.
So to all the 'ivy league' all-knowing investors who said it wasn't an oil bubble either they need a huge lesson in economics or were saying it wasn't a bubble just to cash in. It's these same kind of people who over inflated the housing market and when it burst everything came down fast and then they begged the American taxpayer for a bailout. So when their ideas screwed everything up they used taxpayer's money to fix it. Nice.
These people need to be put in jail. They are obviously obtaining wealth through fraudelent means.
I was told by some, not on this board, I was an idiot if I didn't think oil was scarce or that it would ever come down in price. Here's to being an idiot. And here's to CNN and MSNBC who had it all wrong, 100% completely wrong, and fabricated ridiculous shows around a fake oil crisis and quoted tons of people who had a vested interest in oil and thus obviously wanted it to be scarce so they could cash in. News is all about what stories bring in the most viewers and the most cash. Truth is completely irrelevant. After all they know the world will believe what they say and they are right. Here's to the oil industry who obviously made no effort in a time of crisis to get the prices down and who were running their rigs at 80% capacity during the crisis.
Lesson learned
The next time someone makes a dire prediction about some resource or commodity and threatens horrible consquences if we don't all get on the bandwagon - remember to follow the money trail and it will lead you to the true source of the problem. Hindsight is 20/20.
Sad thing is it sounds like a horrible conspiracy theory you would find on a website somewhere. Even scarier is that this 'theory' is actually true.
But one saving grace is even though you can fool human beings you can't fool the math and economics forever. Eventually it does come around and reveal your schemes.

Swimming Pool Blog
by Rob Cox, February 01, 2011
Atlantic City Pool & Spa Show 2011
30 years of the pool and spa show, held during the coldest (and least busiest) month of the year. Hard to believe that it's been going on for 30 years, and even harder to believe that I have been attending for over 20 years!
The AC Pool & Spa Show 2011 attracted nearly 11,000 attendees, and nearly 500 exhibiting companies. According to one of the AC Convention Center staff, this is a "fairly large show". Over 500 exhibitors have booked space in the convention hall - one room that is nearly 500,000 square feet in size!
This year's show showcased a "Green Track" - with educational seminars and presentations on how to operate a pool or a pool business, with an eye towards more eco-friendly methods and processes.
Our normal recap of the AC Pool & Spa Show will be to highlight some of the new products / systems available - the Hottest New Pool Products for 2011!
Emerson Motor Technologies has come up with a new two speed pool pump motor with programmable timer. More states are now requiring energy efficient pumps to be used. With the 2EZ Speed motor, there's no need to throw out a perfectly good pool pump, just replace the motor instead. Available in 1hp - 2.5hp, the 2EZ Speed is easy to install, meets most state requirements and even includes a freeze sensor! Less expensive to install than a new pump or variable speed pump, the 2EZ motor offers fast payback to states that now require 2 speed or variable speed pool pumps.
Zodiac has released the new Baracuda MX8 pool cleaner, billed as an advanced suction pool cleaning robot. Pictured at left from the underside, twin turbines pull up debris from the floor, as the X-Trax dual tank tracks maneuver the MX-8 into tight spots around the pool. As debris is drawn up into the top of the unit, a secondary turbine slices and dices the debris into small pieces, to help prevent clogging inside the unit and at the pump basket. Very fast, full featured suction pool cleaner, the MX-8 will likely move quickly to dominate suction cleaner markets in Arizona, Florida and Southern California.
Sacrificial zinc anodes are nothing new, they have been used for years in salt water environments, on boat rudders for instance, but In-Line types are new. As more and more swimming pools are switching to salt water systems for chlorine generation, it became necessary to introduce something that will absorb the corrosive properties of all that salt in the water. There exists clamp-on sacrificial zinc anodes, that attach to the ladder or pool light, but these only protect the item they are attached to. An Inline zinc anode will attract electrolysis, to prevent oxidation of chrome and other metal items for all items in the swimming pool. If you have a salt water pool, check this out to avoid pool surface and equipment corrosion.
ADA accessibility laws are in effect! Passed into law on Sept 15, 2010 - this new requirement for public or semi-public pools requires that a lift be installed to create greater access to the pool for those who are wheelchair bound. Effective March 15, 2011, and required compliance by March 15, 2012, this ADA regulation covers both public and private facilities operated by park and rec districts, hotels, fitness clubs, country clubs, schools, waterparks and hospitals. This will add a budget line item for pools in the area of $2500, as a minimum. An unwelcome expense to many pool operators, on the heels of the VGB main drain requirements. All for good, however - hydro therapy is one of the best treatments for those with limited mobility.
It's called the Shower in the Round, and it looks like a lot of fun! Weight activated, you step on the non-skid surface disk, which is connected to a garden hose, and dozens of jets shoot water up - kind of like an outdoor wet park. If the hose and the unit are in the sun, a natural warming to the water is enjoyed. We thought this would be a good addition to our shower line up, and we thought many of you would enjoy this new product as well.
Well, there's more, lots of new toys and games, and other items that deserve mention, but unfortunately have been missed today. Kudos to the organizers this year for upgrading the welcome party to something that looked more like a Vegas party and less like a high school dance! Make your plans to attend the AC Pool and Spa Show next year, we'll be sure to be there and will report once again for those of you who could not make it. Click here for pictures of this year's AC pool and spa show.

Food for Thought
Perhaps you already know that countless studies have linked the Standard American Diet (SAD) to conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. Yes, eating plant-based foods is healthy for your body, but did you know that eating them is one of the best ways to protect the planet? Consider that cattle grazing is the number one reason that the Amazon rainforest is being destroyed and waste from factory farms pollutes our groundwater. If that's not enough, in a report entitled "Livestock's Long Shadow," United Nations scientists calculated that livestock is responsible for more greenhouse gas emissions than all the transportation in the word combined.
John Robbins, author of Diet for a New America and Healthy at 100, said it well: "In a time when global warming and other environmental problems are so serious, it is heartening to realize that the same food choices that give you the healthiest body are also the most earth-friendly."

Why is Scala more scalable than other languages?
The Wikipedia page on Scala says:
The name Scala is a portmanteau of "scalable" and "language", signifying that it is designed to grow with the demands of its users.
I've also read that:
And that's Scala's dirty little secret. Scala is only scalable in the sense that it runs on the reliable, high-performing JVM platform.
and also that "languages don't scale, platforms scale."
How does Scala grow with demands of its users? Isn't it true to say that Scala "actually is scalable"? And as per line just above, isn't every language scalable?

Marlins fall short after LeBlanc's rocky start
JUPITER, Fla. -- The Washington Nationals sent their primary roster to Roger Dean Stadium on Wednesday afternoon. They also delivered a message of what their formidable lineup can do when assembled together.
Bryce Harper had two hits and drove in four runs in the Nationals' 7-5 victory over the Marlins.
Harper, the 2012 National League Rookie of the Year, had a two-run double in the third inning and added a two-run single in the fifth off Marlins starter Wade LeBlanc.
Nationals right-hander Chris Young kept Miami off-stride for five innings, yielding two hits and no runs. The right-hander, throwing in the mid-80s, struck out two. He threw 64 pitches, with 42 strikes.
LeBlanc, a frontrunner to be Miami's fourth starter, entered Wednesday without allowing a run in nine Grapefruit League innings. The string reached 11 innings before Washington pushed three runs across in the third inning.
In five innings, LeBlanc, who also was throwing in the mid-to-upper 80s, gave up six runs on seven hits in five innings. Exiting after 84 pitches, LeBlanc finished up with some more pitches in the bullpen.
Washington moved on top in the third inning.
Kurt Suzuki started a string of three-straight singles to open the inning. Young reached on a bunt single on a play LeBlanc attempted to make with a diving catch. Denard Span bounced a single into right field, filling the bases. Jayson Werth lifted a sacrifice fly to right, and Harper drove in two with a double to left-center.
Before Wednesday, LeBlanc did give up three runs (two earned) in 2 2/3 innings in an exhibition against Team Venezuela, which was preparing for the World Baseball Classic.
In the fifth inning, the Nationals did more damage with another three-run frame. Again, Harper had the big hit, a two-run single. Ryan Zimmerman's sacrifice fly to right padded the lead to 6-0.
A couple of walks to open the fifth -- including a leadoff walk to Young -- set up the big inning.
In the sixth inning, Miami got back into the game, stringing together five-straight two-out hits off Zach Duke.
Giancarlo Stanton had an RBI double, and Greg Dobbs chipped in with a run-scoring single. Rob Brantly had a two-run double.
Up next: Off on Thursday, the Marlins are back in action on Friday night against the Mets at Roger Dean Stadium. Ricky Nolasco will start for Miami in the 7:05 p.m. ET contest. Miami is hoping second baseman Donovan Solano, who tweaked his back on Wednesday morning, is ready to return. Fans can listen to the game live on Gameday Audio.

Thai coup leaders dissolve Senate
Thailand's coup leaders have said they are dissolving the country's Senate and will assume all lawmaking power.
The announcement, which was read out on television, strips away the last democratic institution in the country two days after the military seized power.
The junta suspended the constitution and dissolved the lower house of Parliament on Thursday.
It had left the Senate in place, presumably in hopes the upper house might later approve some of its measures and provide a vestige of democracy.
The reason for the about-face was not known.
The military said it took power to prevent more turmoil in Thailand's protracted political deadlock, which pits supporters of the elected populist government against establishment-backed protesters who accuse the deposed government of corruption.
It is the country's 12th coup in eight decades.

Last year The New York Times unleashed its vision of digitally native storytelling with "Snow Fall." The piece broke away from standard newsprint-transplanted-to-Web design, offering interactive graphics, videos, and other multimedia integrated into an overall narrative. It wasn't necessarily earth-shattering, but it demonstrated a cool concept for others to aspire to.
The push to move beyond common content templates is precisely what drives the tiny startup Scroll Kit. According to a blog post by founder Cody Brown, the company works "to help publishers break from their templates and craft powerful digital stories" by streamlining this process. So Brown saw "Snow Fall" as an opportunity to demonstrate the capabilities of Scroll Kit. "Instead of tweeting about how awesome 'Snow Fall' was," he said, "I wanted to do something that would show its admirers that they can do it too—I made a replica. It took about an hour to put together, and I recorded a video of the process."
Nice homage, right? Not quite. According to the cease-and-desist letter Brown later received from NYT, the video is actually a nice example of copyright infringement. NYT requested that Brown remove the demo from YouTube, the Scroll Kit site, and other social media avenues within three days. Despite considering the video acceptable under fair use, Brown didn't want to fight the NYT legal team and he complied (setting the video to private).
Brown notified the paper of his actions and, to his surprise, he received another letter. NYT didn't deem his actions acceptable. Furthermore, they now wanted all mentions of "The New York Times" removed from the Scroll Kit website. On its front page, Scroll Kit says that "[t]he NYT spent hundreds of hours hand-coding 'Snow Fall'" before touting its streamlining.
As of this writing, Scroll Kit's site is still making its claim citing the NYT. Brown responded to the last letter from the Times by e-mailing the identified lawyer for more information about why Scroll Kit was infringing. He received a third and final letter from a different member of the NYT legal team, one that's too good not to include in full:
Dear Mr. Brown:
We are offended by the fact that you are promoting your tool, as a way to quickly replicate copyright-protected content owned by The New York Times Company. It also seems strange to me that you would defend your right to boast about how quickly you were able to commit copyright infringement:
The NYT spent hundreds of hours hand-coding "Snow Fall." We made a replica in an hour.
If you wouldn't mind using another publication to advertise your infringement tool, we'd appreciate it.
As techdirt noted, there was a strong fair use argument to be made with the initial letter. With the second letter, it's odd for NYT to request that a factual statement be removed just because it references the paper. The wordings in this third letter—"infringement tool"—are an entirely different (and condescending) matter. But this isn't the first time The New York Times has flexed its legal muscles in an unclear instance. Just last year, the paper approached the Twitter parody account @NYTOnIt for how the handle used the infamous "T" from its signature font.

Screen Resolution and Overcrowding in Windows 8
The best way to fight a crowded screen when working in Windows 8 is to experiment with your screen resolution — the amount of information your screen can display. Windows 8 requires a resolution of 1366 x 768 to snap an app to your desktop's side.
Adjust the resolution for smaller screens
Some people can afford huge screens that pack lots of information onto the display. Other folks have small screens that lack the real estate to display everything. So, how does a website reshape itself to fit every viewer's screen? It can't.
Some fit squarely onto smaller screens but leave white space along the edges of larger screens. Others try to guess a screen's size and automatically resize themselves to fit. Others simply fall off your screen's right edge.
Here are the quick-and-dirty steps for adjusting your screen resolution:
Right-click a blank part of your desktop and choose Screen Resolution.
Click in the Resolution box to see the sliding control.
Slide the Resolution bar to adjust your Screen Resolution.
Sliding the bar upward packs more information onto the screen but makes everything smaller. Sliding it downward makes everything larger but sometimes leaves parts of the screen hanging off the edge.
Although the resolution setting of 800 x 600 pixels works well for average to small screens, many sites now pack their information into a resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels.
Choose the resolution that lets you pack as much information onto the screen as possible, yet still allow for comfortable reading.
If a web page still seems too small to read, enlarge its text and images by holding down the Ctrl key and pressing +. (Hold down Ctrl and press – to shrink them; hold down Ctrl and press 0 [zero] to return the letters to normal.) This trick works on both versions of Internet Explorer: the desktop's version and the Start screen's version.
Switch out of full-screen mode in Internet Explorer
The desktop's version of Internet Explorer normally lives safely within its own menu-filled window. But occasionally it swells up to fill the entire screen, neatly trimming away both your menus and the desktop's taskbar. Full-screen mode looks great for movies, but the lack of menus leaves you with no way to switch to a different program.
To switch out of full-screen mode, press F11. That toggles full-screen mode, putting your menus back within reach. Press F11 again to watch the movie.

WASHINGTON — Chicago attorney Vickie Pasley, who was treasurer of Jesse Jackson Jr.'s campaign committee, has been fined $7,150 by the Federal Election Commission, newly released documents show.
The fine, made public Friday, stems from the Jackson campaign's failure to file a 2012 end-of-year report on its finances. The report was due last Jan. 31.
Jackson, 48, a Democrat from Chicago's South Side, resigned from Congress in November 2012 just weeks after winning re-election. He is now serving a 30-month sentence in a federal prison camp in Butner, N.C.
The Jackson campaign's last report to the FEC was last December, when it reported $105,703 in cash on hand.
Jackson, the son of civil rights leader Rev. Jesse Jackson, pleaded guilty to looting his campaign of about $750,000 over several years ending in 2012. He spent the money on luxury goods, collectibles, vacations and two mounted elk heads, among other purchases.
Jackson's projected release date is Dec. 31, 2015. His wife, Sandi Jackson, 50, a former Chicago alderman, is to surrender to federal authorities to begin a 12-month prison sentence 30 days after he is released from Bureau of Prisons custody.
She was a co-conspirator in his case and pleaded guilty to failing to report to the Internal Revenue Service about $600,000 in income the couple had from 2005 to 2011.
Latest Breaking News
Pasley, who told the FEC in September that she no longer was Jackson's campaign treasurer, did not return requests for comment today from the Tribune.
An FEC spokesman declined to comment on the Jackson Jr. case but said typically unpaid fines are referred to the Treasury Department for debt collection.
The FEC wrote Pasley last July 1 saying it had made a final determination that the campaign committee and she, as its treasurer, had violated federal law and were being assessed the $7,150 penalty.

Thousands of North Texans watched NBC 5's Kristi Nelson donate a kidney to her mother. Now, she's taking part in two more events to raise awareness of the medical problem that affects 26 million Americans.
On Sunday, March 18, 2012, Kristi will be the keynote speaker at the National Kidney Foundation Annual Patient Education Seminar. It will take place at the Double Tree by Hilton in Dallas. Nephrologist Dr. Paul Skluzacek will address Dialysis Care and other medical issues once a person is diagnosed with Kidney Disease. You can register for the seminar, which includes lunch, here at the NKF website.
382,000 Americans depend of dialysis to stay alive. 37,000 are waiting for kidney transplants.
Kristi is also the 2012 Dallas Kidney Walk Honorary Chairperson. It will take place Saturday, April 21, 2012 at Baylor Tom Landry Park in Dallas. You and your family can walk 1.5 miles or 3 miles. You must register ahead of time here at the NKF donation site. Kristi even has her own team!
According to the NKF, one in nine people are affected by chronic Kidney Disease. It is directly associated to obesity, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and high blood pressure. Cases are on a sharp increase in Texas.

Absent from the recent world gymnastics championships, U.S. star Rebecca Bross told IG she is steadily regaining strength following surgery for a dislocated kneecap.
"The surgery went well," she said. "Everything was repaired and it's healing well."
Bross, the 2010 U.S. champion, injured the knee on vault in August, at the second day of competition at the U.S. championships in St. Paul.
"At first I wasn't sure what had happened, then I realized I had dislocated my kneecap," she said of the accident.
Bross had been struggling on the double-twisting Yurchenko in practice, spawning criticism after the injury that she should have watered down the vault to a single twist. But Bross said she has not been plagued by regrets in hindsight.
"The double is what I had been training and what I have always vaulted," she said. "We just need to fix my vaulting technique."
Doctors determined surgery was necessary after Bross returned to Plano, Texas, where she trains at World Olympic Gymnastics Academy.
"My kneecap was very unstable because the tissue that holds it securely in place was torn," said Bross, who underwent surgery Aug. 25.
Bross has won six world championships medals, including back-to-back all-around medals in 2009 (silver) and 2010 (bronze). She missed the world championships that concluded Sunday in Tokyo, where the U.S. women won their first team gold in four years.
The 18 year old is currently hard at work recovering for 2012, hoping to rejoin the U.S. team lineup at the Olympic Games in London.
"I started rehab the week after surgery and will continue until my range of motion and strength returns to normal," she said. "I should be able to start some elementary [tumbling] within the next 30 days to build leg strength, and vaulting will come later."
Bross, who experienced an outpouring of online support from fans after her injury, is confident of what her fans can expect from her in 2012.
"To be back 100 percent and to do my best," she told IG.

There isn't much good news about Germany's failing Energiewende. Because they have boxed themselves into a corner by eliminating their nuclear portfolio, they are facing the physical realities of trying to deploy unreliable wind and solar far beyond their appropriate penetration levels. According to the research by Lion Hirth (Vattenfall Europe AG) appropriate penetration would be 7% wind for today's Germany, perhaps as much 25% in a future Germany optimized for VRE [PDF]. Germany is abusing neighboring grids by dumping excess generation while exploiting the neighboring grids to supply power when the sun doesn't shine and the wind doesn't blow.
To push VRE to meet their 80% commitment Germany obviously needs abundant cheap storage. Unfortunately they don't have the enviable volume of hydro that Sweden and Norway have. So, as Quirin Schiermeier writes in Nature Renewable power: Germany's energy gamble, Germany is making a big bet on P2G:
P2G, however, could provide a vast amount of new storage capacity and Germany is leading the way. The plant in Stuttgart has 250 kilowatts of electrolysis stacks, which use electricity from renewables to produce hydrogen from water. To make methane, the hydrogen is reacted with CO2 from decomposing sewage and agricultural waste at a nearby biogas plant. Other P2G plants could scrub CO2 from the air.
But P2G is still an immature technology, with high upfront costs and an efficiency of only about 50% in converting electricity to methane. Synthetic methane plants have also struggled with the purity of their product. At the ZSW facility, the main goal is to routinely produce gas with low oxygen and hydrogen content.
For transport fuels, the P2G concept might make some economic sense IF powered by nuclear electricity. But Germany is trying to use this process to fix the serious grid instability problems they have created for themselves. Adding the high cost of variable renewable electricity to the high cost of the P2G conversion – this is good for the economy? How prudent is it to base an industrial economy on advanced proton-exchange membranes for electrolysis?

XML, XSLT and DFSORT, Part Three - Multiple XML Input Files
MartinPacker 11000094DH Visits (13193)
While I was putting together the original three posts in this series a number of thoughts struck me, amongst which two really cried out for further investigation: I don't know how your XML data arrives on z/OS but quite a lot of scenarios don't have the data all as one document (file). XSLT looks complex - particularly if recursion does your head in. Thought 2 I'll deal with in a... [More]
XML, XSLT and DFSORT, Part Two - DFSORT
MartinPacker 11000094DH Comments (2) Visits (15292)
Following on from this post and this one , this post discusses the DFSORT piece. The DFSORT code in this post parses the Comma-Separated Variable (CSV) file produced by XSLT processing. In this simple example it merely produces a flat file report, but the post has a few additional details you might find valuable. First, here's the SORTIN DD JCL statement. It's not like a regular sequential file... [More]

Here's another way to process a WLM Service Definition - once you've got it into XML format. XSLT (XML Stylesheet Transformations if you prefer) is another technology that's been around for a while. In simple terms you write another piece of XML (the stylesheet) that describes how to transform your original XML into something else. There's a lot of flexibility in this but the example in this post... [More]

Believe it or not, you can finally get that 19th century vampire-killing kit or a shrunken head for the odd one on your holiday shopping list.
They're both part of the Black Friday madness at the Ripley's Times Square Auditorium, but they won't come cheap. The vampire-slay set will set you back about $25,000. The shrunken head is a comparative steal — just over $19,000.
The thoughtful gift-giver might prefer a taxidermy Albino giraffe. The price tag is about $1.7 million. Gift-wrapping is not included.
U.S. & World
Still got tons of room under the Christmas tree — and about $2.5 million to spare? Your loved one might be clamoring for 18th century, iron-clad elephant armor from India.
Already shopped out? No problem. The "featured collection" is being offered until Dec. 24.

The Electrolux EI30EF45QS provides a taste of luxury that costs less than comparable models and performs just as well -- if not better.
Smeg's newest ranges add three convection fans to the oven for more even baking. And the ranges' colors are pretty cool, too.
You use the appliance manufacturer's app to scan the bar code on your favorite frozen food.
The GE PHB920SJSS is a good oven on its own, and its Wi-Fi connectivity and integration with Alexa make this appliance a great choice, especially if you're interested in smart home technology.
This is a fun product for the bad cook with money to spare. All others should hold off until we have more players in the smart oven game, when prices should fall.
This double oven's smarts make it an appliance worth pining after.
The Frigidaire FGGF3058RF attempts to offer higher-end features to distinguish itself from similarly priced ranges. But when you dig deeper, this range isn't much different than the competition.
The GE PGB911SEJSS is a good pick if you're in the market for a gas range.
AEG, part of the Electrolux Group of manufacturers, is the latest company to attempt to remove the guesswork from cooking.
The Frigidaire FGDS3065PF might not excite, but it's a solid pick if you want a slide-in range with a gas cooktop and an electric oven.
Kenmore's 41072 performs well and can hold a lot more laundry than your standard front-load washer, making it a huge asset for larger families.
The Electrolux EW30IS80RS's fast cook times and useful add-ons make this range a worthwhile investment.
This range is a good pick if you're on a budget but don't want to sacrifice quality cooking.
The Dacor DYRP36D's tablet is an unnecessary addition to an otherwise solid range. Skip this appliance and use your own tablet.
The GE JGB700SEJSS is a solid oven for a good price.
This range looks like a pro, but still needs some practice when it comes to cooking.
Your $1,100 would be well spent on this GE range.
The Samsung NE58K9850WG will give you a lot of bragging rights and the upper hand on connected large kitchen appliances. But it would be worthwhile to wait and see if Samsung can get rid of its Wi-Fi kinks and put connectivity in a better-performing range.

If you have a sunny garden, deck or patio, you can grow a dazzling variety of annual flowers. Not only do annual flowers delight us with myriad shapes, sizes and colors, they also are quick to bloom and keep flowering right through the gardening season.
Annual flowers are a key feature of a colorful landscape because they provide:
Trailing versus Upright Annuals
One way to group plants is by their growth habit. Trailing plants, such as ivy geraniums, grow well in containers, hanging baskets and as groundcovers at the edges of flower beds. Upright annuals, such as red salvia, also grow well in containers, but often find their niche in flower beds combined with other annual and perennial flowers. Deciding which plant to grow is a matter of taste as well as location.
Trailing white or lavender bacopa and the diminutive pink-flowered diascia provide beautiful filler for any planting. Also striking are trailing verbenas, with colors ranging from pink to dark purple, and trailing snapdragons, with bronze and yellow, deep purple and hot pink flowers.
Statuesque upright annuals, standing 12 to 14 inches tall, include the heat-loving nicotiana, with flowers from lilac to apple blossom; the fragrant, pink-flowered nemesia; and the classic salvias, with flower spikes in red, white or blue.
Plant Combinations
Combining trailing and upright plants in containers creates a dynamic look that makes the planter seem larger than life. Some good examples are red salvia with trailing white snapdragon, white nicotiana with cascading pink diascia, and pastel-colored light pink nemesia with trailing white bacopa. Once you get the hang of combining plants, be as creative and innovative as your heart desires.
Caring for Plants
The easiest way to grow sun-loving annuals is to buy transplants from your local nursery. Many annual plants, with the exception of snapdragons, are cold sensitive, so wait until after your last frost date to put these plants outdoors. A site that gets at least 6 hours of direct sun each day is best. The soil should be fertile, well drained and amended with compost. Be sure to allow enough room for the plants to spread out during the growing season, especially if you are combining them with perennials.
Keep plants well watered (especially those in containers) and fertilize monthly with an all-purpose plant food. Pull weeds regularly.
Some annuals may need to have old, faded flowers removed during the growing season to continue looking their best. Others, such as petunias, may benefit from having their stems pinched back to stimulate bushier growth.
