Committee Opinion Number 671, September 2016
(Replaces Committee Opinion No. 324, November 2005) (Reaffirmed 2018)
ABSTRACT: Over the past decades, the use of assisted reproductive technology (ART) has increased dramatically worldwide and has made pregnancy possible for many infertile couples. Although the perinatal risks that may be associated with ART and ovulation induction are much higher in multifetal gestations, even singletons achieved with ART and ovulation induction may be at higher risk than singletons from naturally occurring pregnancies. However, it remains unclear to what extent these associations might be related to the underlying cause(s) of infertility. Before initiating ART or ovulation i...
Committee Opinion Number 535, August 2012
(Reaffirmed 2019)
ABSTRACT: Increasing numbers of women and adolescent females are incarcerated each year in the United States and they represent an increasing proportion of inmates in the U.S. correctional system. Incarcerated women and adolescent females often come from disadvantaged environments and have high rates of chronic illness, substance abuse, and undetected health problems. Most of these females are of reproductive age and are at high risk of unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections, including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Understanding the needs of incarcerated women and adol...
Committee Opinion Number 205, August 1998
Tubal ligation at the time of cesarean delivery requires significant additional physician work even though the technical work of the procedure is brief. Informed consent by the patient requires considerably more counseling by the physician regarding potential risks and benefits of this procedure than is necessary with alternative means of sterilization and contraception. Also, many states require completion of special informed consent documents in addition to the customary consent forms required by hospitals. These forms must be completed before scheduling the procedure.
Committee Opinion Number 511, November 2011
ABSTRACT: Clinicians who provide care for incarcerated women should be aware of the special health care needs of pregnant incarcerated women and the specific issues related to the use of restraints during pregnancy and the postpartum period. The use of restraints on pregnant incarcerated women and adolescents may not only compromise health care but is demeaning and rarely necessary.
Committee Opinion Number 678, November 2016
(Reaffirmed 2018)
ABSTRACT: Current sexuality education programs vary widely in the accuracy of content, emphasis, and effectiveness. Data have shown that not all programs are equally effective for all ages, races and ethnicities, socioeconomic groups, and geographic areas. Studies have demonstrated that comprehensive sexuality education programs reduce the rates of sexual activity, sexual risk behaviors (eg, number of partners and unprotected intercourse), sexually transmitted infections, and adolescent pregnancy. One key component of an effective program is encouraging community-centered efforts. In addition...

Tunestir: iPod FM Receiver/Transmitter/ Remote Control
Posted by Oscar M. Cantu Categories: Accessories, Portable Audio / Video,
Most iPod owners love the iTrip, but many admit that it could be better. Battery Technology, Inc. hopes to provide that missing functionality with their Tunestir three-in-one iPod accessory. It is an FM radio receiver, transmitter, and remote control, all in one package. With a long cord, one could definitely use this in a car or truck to access the iPod functionality over the radio via the remote. The Tunestir is compatible with all iPod models that have dock connectors, and will be available later this month for $69.95.

Use Gmail As A 2 GB Virtual Drive
Posted by Edwin Soto Categories: Internet, Software,
We told you about Gmail Drive before, but now that just about everyone has a Gmail account, we thought a reminder was in order. If you don't need 2 GB of storage for email, why not take advantage of all that extra space Google provides? With Gmail Drive, you can move files to and from your Gmail web space through Windows Explorer. This is completely experimental and Google has blocked older versions of the Gmail Drive shell extension, so don't expect this to last long. This version should still work with the new 2 GB update, as we have tried and succeeded.

Nintendo Revolution Rumors
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Video Games,
Once the sole giant of the home video game industry, Nintendo is now making moves to stay in the game. With Xbox 2 and Playstation 3 possibly due out within the next year and a half, Nintendo is betting on a revolutionary new approach instead of trying to muscle the next generation consoles with power. Nintendo's next console is internally code named N5, rumored to be have been Gamecube 2 and Nintendo 21 with the majority of us believing it will be called the Nintendo Revolution. On a new note, it has been reported that the Revolution may not be a successor to the Gamecube as Nintendo has claimed that support and software for the Gamecube will still be available after the Revolution launch. Could this be Nintendo's strategy to combat the PS3? Would having the established Gamecube and the new Revolution simultaneously available somehow bring Nintendo closer to the front of the pack? Nintendo's R&D department has increased spending approx. 39% ($209 million) over last year.
Here's a list of current rumored info about the Revolution:
- Internal hard drive - The Revolution will have a two-sided, 8mm disk with a 5.4 GB capacity.
- Powered by two IBM central processors - code named "Broadway"
- ATI Graphics card code named "Hollywood"
- Online Gaming support
- No DS connectivity but will link up with Nintendo's next handheld
- Some game studios already have pre-dev kits
- Apparently work has already begun on three of the launch titles - A Mario title , Zelda and Super Smash Bros.
- Will use IEEE protocol to act as a wireless hub in the home. This will allow interaction with other Revolutions in the area.
- Play games on your TV or computer monitor
The word is that the Revolution controllers won't feature our trusty D-pad and buttons. Motion and tilt-sensing gyroscopes will be used in the controllers. Additionally these controllers will feature pressure sensitive "buttons" that will respond to rubbing and other stimuli. Other rumors are the possibility of a touchpad like the DS or an evolved trackball controller. The new controllers will not be wireless but the Revolution will have four controller ports just like the Gamecube. Nintendo also has a patent on a technology dealing with "fixation points". Nintendo's new technology will create a frame and a virtual frame. The idea is basically that designated objects that have priority in the game space will always be featured prominently despite the line of site. This happens when the object moves into the virtual frame. The image will be "deformed" to always include designated objects and provide greater detail and depth of field without having to zoom, or alter camera angles abruptly. Though this is all speculation, it would seem this new feature would be relatively transparent to the user. It would simply facilitate a clearer, and overall more enjoyable, visual experience for gamers. We shall soon see. Toyoda Ken, Nintendo of Japan PR Office Manager, told the Japanese publication ITmedia, "We are still looking at E3 as a launching pad for the 'Revolution' platform, and are deliberating if we should feature the actual console, visuals, or simply illustrate the concept behind it."

How To Copy Music Legally
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Music,
CNet has posted a good read on what you can and cannot legally do with the music that you purchase online or in-store. It was surprising to me that if you want to back up to cassettes, the Audio Home Recording Act (AHRA) of 1992 makes an explicit exemption for cassette backups. But it doesn't apply to backing up your collection to a computer. Which means, if you rip your collection to your computer and then upload to any of the various portable music players or backup to a CD you are performing an illegal copyright act. This is under the strictest interpretation of U.S. copyright law. There are exceptions such as iTunes, which encourages you to make as many custom CDs as you'd like - as long as the playlist changes.

Second-year Chicago Bulls swingman Jimmy Butler didn't see a lot of time on the court as a rookie during the 2011-12 season. During the Bulls' 66-game schedule, Butler appeared in 42 contests, averaging just 2.6 points and 1.3 rebounds in only 8.5 minutes per game.
But with the departure of Ronnie Brewer and Kyle Korver -- the primary backups for Luol Deng last season -- Butler will be relied upon a lot more and will step into an increased role this season. After a summer of working on his game, including a strong showing in the Las Vegas Summer League, the Marquette alum is ready for the challenge and the increased responsibility.
"[An increased role] is what I've been working towards all summer," Butler told NBC Chicago. "That's what I've always wanted to do, be a contributing part on a winning team – a championship caliber team. And I'm here. So why not be excited about being counted on to contribute more? My teammates know that I can do it. The coaches know that I can do it. And I know that I can do it."
After the June press conference to introduce new Bulls rookie Marquis Teague and once the court cleared, Butler came out of the locker room at the Berto Center and began working out with assistant coach Adrian Griffin on his outside shot. His ability to shoot with any range was the part of his game that was shaky, at best, last season. Butler says he worked the hardest on his outside shot and thinks it was the biggest improvement he made over the summer.
"I feel like I can shoot it, it's just my confidence. I've gotta be able to take those shots in the game and not only take it, but know that I can make it in a game," he said. "Anybody can take a shot, but who can make it? And whenever you make it, now what? Now the defense has to respect your drive. Now they have to respect your shot. Now they don't know how to guard you. And that's what all the great players in this league can do. So hopefully one day, I can be a great player."
Although he has lofty goals individually, from a team perspective, Butler understands that everybody needs to take baby steps with a roster full of new players. Chemistry has been a hot topic surrounding this team, but Butler feels it's a process and they're all working to get where they need to be.
"We're building up on [the chemistry]. We've been working at this thing for a few weeks now; getting in here, seeing everybody work out, seeing how they shoot, where they like the ball on the floor and just really talking and asking each other. So now, when the games come, we know who likes the ball where. I think that's part of being on a team. You've got to know your teammates in-and-out, just like they have to know you."

I'm a new face around here (hello all!), but I've been doing MOTU-inspired art for a long time, so I want to start with some of my older works before I move on into recent stuff. This should give you a better idea of where I'm coming from and why my versions of the characters are sometimes so odd.
I won't go all the way back to my childhood but start with spring/early summer 2002 when I learned there would be a revival of MOTU. I think I may have seen pictures of some of the toy designs, but the new series hadn't premiered yet. I was then inspired to write and sketch my own updated version of Eternia, it's history, races and characters.
These sketches date back to June 2002, although some of the photoshop coloring work was done later, and some weren't scanned before today. I couldn't find all the sketches I wish I could have shared (such as the pencil sketch of Grizzlor or Orko with long braided hair), but these should give you an idea of what I did back then.
Skeletor was the first to receive his new look. In these sketches he's sort of still between being Skeletor and Keldor (whom I envisioned solely based on the minicomic, and at one point made Randor's uncle rather than brother!) Note the heavy overuse of the chaos symbol as a design element!
Beast Man was a bit of a departure from the original. I wanted to make him feral and predatory, a sort of mix between man, lion and ape. His weapons, armor and adornments were supposed to reflect the primitive and violent nature of his race.
Mer-Man was always my favorite Evil Warrior. I'm not sure why I thought giving him a tail was a good idea, but it was part of making him more fish-like together with the scaly skin and webbed fin-like arms and legs. I designed his armor and jewlery as a mix of marine shells and things robbed from sunken ships and drowned corpses. It ties in with the ideas I had of his race.
Clawful received by far the most radical revision. I think I just took the head and the claws as a starting point and filled the rest with humanoid lobster parts! He was supposed to be an underling of Mer-Man. The other creature I added here was an original creation, a cephalopoid monster servant of Mer-Man that I never gave a proper toyetic name.
I fear this post will bloating up to an excessive lenght if I go on, so I think I'll add the rest later today or tomorrow. Stay tuned.

New Health Plans
Consumers purchasing health insurance on a public health insurance marketplace or exchange or directly from a health insurance company have up to five levels of coverage to choose from to help compare plans offered by different insurers. The four levels of metallic coverage — bronze, silver, gold and platinum are based on actuarial value of the benefits included with the bronze level providing the lowest coverage amount.
Bronze plans include insurance coverage that covers 60 percent of health care costs for the average consumer, with individuals on average responsible for 40 percent of out-of-pocket health costs. Platinum plans, meanwhile, when available, include coverage that pays for an average of 90 percent of health care costs, with members responsible for paying 10 percent of out-of-pocket costs. Those with very expensive health conditions could end up with significantly higher out-of-pocket costs.
Some individuals, including those younger than 30, can also purchase catastrophic insurance coverage, which provides a lower level of coverage than the bronze level, to protect against high medical bills in the case of unexpected and expensive medical care.
New health insurance plans sold in the small employer and individual markets must fall within the metallic levels of coverage. Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Dakota offers metallic level plans both on and off the marketplace.

Mayor's Office
Mayor Chris Beutler today said the City's purchase of the Experian building would promote efficiency and intergovernmental cooperation, save taxpayer dollars and potentially keep private sector jobs in Lincoln. The City proposes to buy the mostly-vacant facility at 949 West Bond in northwest Lincoln for $6.5 million. The current assessed value of the 355,000-square-foot building is $7.8 million. The Lincoln-Lancaster County Planning Commission will discuss the purchase at its meeting at 1 p..m Wednesday, September 8, and its recommendation will go to the City Council.
Earlier this year, the City issued a request for proposals to house the Engineering Services Division of the Public Works and Utilities Department, whose lease at 531 Westgate is expiring. Experian responded with an offer to sell its building, which has been on the market for five years with no firm offers. The company wants to lease a small portion of the building to house about 150 existing employees.
"We all know the advantages of owning instead of renting," Mayor Beutler said. "With the rental savings and the revenue from leasing space to other entities, the Finance Department projects the Experian purchase will result in $500,000 of taxpayer savings over 15 years. During these difficult economic times, the City must seize upon every proposal that saves taxpayers money over the long term. It is equally important to have the vision to look ahead to the future needs of the City and how we can meet those needs in a cost effective manner."
In addition to Public Works and Utilities, the space would be used for other City agencies that now lease space, including the Urban Search and Rescue team, the 911 Communications radio shop and Bureau of Fire Prevention. Beutler said co-location increases efficiencies and allows for better service at less cost. He said other governmental subdivisions also may be interested in locating there, creating even more opportunities for consolidation.
If it purchases the building, the City plans to spend an additional $1.2 on renovation and debt issuance costs for a total cost of $7.7 million. The City would finance it through a lease/purchase option over 15 years, with an interest rate of about 4 percent and payments of about $700,000 a year. The City projects annual rent savings of about $370,000 and rent income of about $380,000. After 15 years, the City would no longer incur the lease/purchase costs, creating even more savings. The City does project some additional operating costs because of the larger facility.
Beutler said the purchase also would allow the City to reduce the amount of bonds needed for future capital projects by more than 50 percent, a savings of $4.5 million. Those future projects include improvements to the 911 Communications Center and an update of Lincoln Fire and Rescue's training facilities.

Posted by Contextual Learning on Monday, July 07, 2014 1:00 AM
I'm Katherine Parent and I am excited to join the Contextual Learning office as the Cross-Cultural Education Support Staff. This year, I'll be helping plan and coordinate the "Pray and Break Bread" program, in which groups of Luther students, staff, and faculty will meet their neighbors at sites around the Twin Cities.
The question, "Where are you from?" usually makes me pause, because I'm a "TCK": a third-culture kid. My Midwestern family moved to the South and later to the West Coast. As a teenager, I lived above the Arctic Circle for a year and learned fluent Norwegian. After graduating from St. Olaf in 2009, I went back to Norway to learn from Christian friends who saw seeking justice as an inseparable part of Christian vocation. I spent several years as a resident alien there, earning an MA in Intercultural Communications.
While the intellectual fellowship and challenge of the seminary classroom has been deeply meaningful, it is the experiences of meeting others in community that have been the most transformative for my faith and life. This is why I am so glad to join the Contextual Learning team as we continue to seek ways to connect students with their neighbors in the community and foster cross-cultural relationships and reflection.
As my Norwegian friends explored what it meant to be neighbors and followers of Jesus in a "skjev" (crooked) world, I began to realize how little I really knew my neighbors in my home country. I was moved to come back to the US and learn from others who were trying to build on the Rev. Dr. King's vision of "beloved community" among all people.
Now, I'm a Luther seminary PhD student who spends much of my time in the streets of North Minneapolis. As Artist-In-Residence at Redeemer Lutheran Church, I'm learning by meeting my neighbors as we paint murals on empty houses, make jewelry out of bike parts, and discover our own creativity. I love to meet new people and share stories. On the Northside, I've seen how music, art and good food can bring neighbors and strangers together—transformation ensues.
Look for an article next month about our upcoming cross-cultural gatherings and how you can be involved. I will look forward to meeting you as the year progresses!
Peace in Christ,

Andrew Woodley -- Otterbein Sports Information
WESTERVILLE, Ohio – The No. 25 Cardinals received a three-touchdown performance from junior quarterback Ben Sizemore and remained unbeaten with a 23-13 win over Muskingum University Saturday night at Memorial Stadium.
Otterbein University improves to 5-0 overall, and remains in a three-way tie for first place in the Ohio Athletic Conference (OAC) at 4-0. Both Heidelberg University (5-0, 4-0 OAC) and the University of Mount Union (5-0, 4-0 OAC) picked up convincing wins Saturday to stay undefeated. The loss drops the Fighting Muskies to 1-3 in the OAC, 1-4 overall.
Sizemore was called into action after senior quarterback, and reigning OAC Offensive Player of the Week, Aaron Kingcade left the game with an injury in the first quarter. Sizemore went on the complete 12 of 21 passes for 201 yards and three touchdowns to lead the Cards to the victory.
The Otterbein defense had another strong showing. They limited the Muskies to only three third down conversions on 12 attempts and forced four turnovers, including three interceptions. Senior defensive back Anthony Korpieski recorded his third interception of the season and also forced and recovered a fumble for the Cardinals.
Muskingum outgained Otterbein 320 to 275 in total offense, but the Muskies committed eight penalties that resulted in 87 yards. Four of Muskingum's eight penalties gave Otterbein first downs.
The Cardinals opened up the scoring when Sizemore connected with senior wide receiver Trey Fairchild for a 28-yard touchdown on Sizemore's first pass of the game. A failed point after try (PAT) put Otterbein up 6-0 with 5:57 left in the first quarter.
The Cards next score was a result of the offense getting a second chance. Facing 4th down and 14, Otterbein freshman punter Jordan Keaton drew a roughing the kicker penalty to extend the Cardinal drive.
On the very next play, Sizemore tossed a 62-yard catch-and-run touchdown to junior wide receiver Steven Carpenter to put Otterbein up 13-0 with 2:38 left in the opening frame.
The Fighting Muskies answered back with a 6-play 70-yard drive of their own that culminated with a 10-yard touchdown run by Muskie sophomore quarterback Alex Meridith. The score narrowed the Cardinal lead to six with 28 seconds left in the first quarter.
However Muskingum would not get any closer as the Cardinals rattled off the next 10 points to pull comfortably ahead and take the victory.
Otterbein was limited to just 64 yards rushing for the game but managed to hold a sizeable advantage in time of possession. The Cardinals held the ball for nearly 34 minutes of the game.
Carpenter led the Otterbein receivers with 88 yards and a touchdown on four catches. Fairchild finished with three catches for 77 yards and a score.
Junior defensive end Zack Grieves led the defense with eight tackles (all solo). Senior linebackers Tyler Mautz and Wes McKeever each intercepted a pass for the Cardinals.
Sophomore place-kicker Alana Gaither converted her first career field goal attempt from 18 yards out. Gaither is 10 of 11 on PATs this season.
Otterbein will head to Tiffin to face off with Heidelberg next Saturday, Oct. 13, for the 21st renewal of the Rhine River Classic. Kick off for the Rhine River Cup is scheduled for 2 p.m.

If you are NOT a designer and want to create a label or sticker rather than uploading your professional artwork, have no fear! We've created from the ground up the easiest label and sticker designer that we have ever seen on the internet. Simply select "Design Online" from the artwork menu above and you can create a professional artwork suitable for high resolution printing. Our online designer boasts many features, such as: vector output, CMYK working colour space, import images from your computer, Facebook or Instagram, it will even create barcodes and QR codes. What's more, you even get to see an online instant proof before you order. Please note that if you already have high quality artwork, you do not need to use our label designer.
We use CMYK semi-transparent inks to print your labels as standard. If you are placing your clear label on a dark or coloured background, the background will slightly come through the design making it difficult to see. If you do not want this to happen, we can print a white ink underneath your design to block-out the dark background. Please read the information regarding setting up your artwork for white ink printing in our artwork guide as it will need to be supplied in vector format. Please see our white ink section within our artwork guidelines for more details in how to set this up correctly.
Please note that the white ink is printed digitally and is not comparable in quality to that of screen printing which is a thicker more opaque ink. If in doubt, order some free samples.
We have invested in the very latest digital printing presses to ensure every print is top quality. Our window stickers are printed on our industrial Roland DG production presses at very high resolution, producing dots so small you cannot see them with the naked eye giving smooth graduations and tones. Photographs, line-work and all other artwork is reproduced accurately at high speed. This is a digital (eco solvent) inkjet process rather than a using a laser so we'd recommend keeping font sizes to 5pt and over for legibility. We also have the facility to print in white ink on our clear window sticker range. Please see our metallic ink section and white ink section for more details in how to set this up correctly.
Once you approve the PDF proof we send you via the email address you registered, we'll aim to print and dispatch your custom vinyl label order within 3 working days, unless otherwise stated on our homepage during busy periods. We send out all orders via DPD so that you can rest assured your delivery is on time. On the day of your delivery you will receive a text notification to your mobile phone and also an email that will notify you of your 1 hour delivery window. This is without doubt the best tracking service that we have ever used. We also ship worldwide, the cost of your international delivery will be calculated at the checkout.
We want you to be completely happy with the labels you receive. It's physically impossible for us to recommend a perfect material over the phone or email without knowing the exact conditions the labels will be used within, we can only guide you based on our experience. Therefore we ask for all our clients to place an order for samples unless they fully understand how our materials will work. You can then test the suitability yourself and be 100% sure they will work for your given application. Simply navigate to our Label & Sticker Sample Page to receive your free sample pack.
Please note that if you do decide to go ahead with an order without testing our free samples we cannot be held responsible if the material does not work as you intend.
By submitting your design you agree that it is exactly as you require and that you have
permission to use & reproduce all content within your artwork.Please note that colours can change slightly during the print process, this is due to RGB colours being converted to CMYK. Please read our artwork guidelines for information regarding colour changes. Once you have approved your design it will be locked into the order and no more changes can be made. If you need to make changes please go back now and edit your design(s). We will not send you another proof to approve.

It's more than a little shocking that even in 2010, cables and wires are still so, so ugly. Luckily, Wiretape is looking to change all that. With wires that look like, well, tape.
Other than the fact that Wiretape looks gorgeous (relative to its ugly older stepsister, cords), it can be cut to any length, be painted over and is flexible enough to be folded over numerous times. It's also resistant to extreme temperatures and water, which, when you put it all together, makes it as functional as your current wires while being 100 times sexier.
Developed by Hitech Innovation Group in collaboration with FAME, Wiretape will be available in September in two sizes: a width of five lines for small connections like USB, audio, video, S-VHS and Compositive AV and a width of 18 lines for larger connections like HDMI, VGA, and RJ45.
We know we've said you shouldn't waste money on expensive cables, but we might have to make an exception for these. [Wiretape]

The Bush administration's policy of barring news photographs of the flag-covered coffins of service members killed in Iraq won the backing of the Republican-controlled Senate on Monday when lawmakers defeated a Democratic measure to instruct the Pentagon to allow pictures.
The 54-39 vote came after little formal debate, with seven Democrats joining 47 Republicans to defeat the provision.
Two Republicans, senators Olympia J. Snowe of Maine and John McCain of Arizona, voted in favor of letting news photographers have access to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware, where coffins containing the war dead from Iraq arrive.
"These caskets that arrive at Dover are not named; we just see them," said McCain, a former Navy pilot who was a prisoner of war for five years in Vietnam. He added, "I think we ought to know the casualties of war."
But President Bush has insisted that the policy banning the photography protects the privacy of the families of the dead, a view reiterated by lawmakers who opposed the measure.
Some Republicans, including Senator Charles E. Grassley of Iowa, complained that Democrats were trying to score election-year points with the effort. Grassley noted that the policy had been in place since the first Bush administration, in 1991. "This policy has been in place for 13 years," he said. "Nobody has raised a complaint about it until now."
But the policy has not been consistently followed; President Bill Clinton took part in numerous ceremonies honoring dead servicemen. In March 2003, just as the US embarked on its war with Iraq, the Pentagon issued a directive stating that there would be no news coverage of "deceased military personnel returning to or departing from" air bases.
The measure defeated on Monday was proposed by Senator Frank R. Lautenberg of New Jersey, as an amendment to a US$447.2 billion Pentagon spending plan for 2005 now under consideration in the Senate. Lawmakers hope to finish work on the bill on Tuesday.
Lautenberg's amendment would have instructed the Department of Defense to work out a new protocol letting the news media cover the arrival of the war dead in a manner that protected families' privacy.
"A majority of the Senate are now working on behalf of the president to conceal from the American people the true costs of this war," Lautenberg said in a statement after the vote. He said his amendment "would bring an end to the shroud of secrecy cloaking the hard, difficult truth about war and the sacrifices of our soldiers."
The issue of pictures of the war dead has been a delicate one for the administration in recent months. In April, a collection of more than 300 images of coffins landing at Dover were made available after a Web site, www.thememoryhole.org, filed a Freedom of Information Act request for any pictures of coffins arriving at Dover from Iraq.
The images were taken by Air Force photographers and released by the Air Force Mobility Command. The Pentagon later said the release of the pictures was wrong. But Senator Gordon H. Smith of Oregon, who voted against Lautenberg's amendment on the ground that it would interfere with families' privacy, said he thought the Air Force photographs "were fine." He added, "I thought that was done very respectfully."

I am using an IFrame application with XFBML and the new Javascript API.
I'd like to have a facebook application with multiple entry points. These will most likely represent different links coming from a fan page tab.
I can do this quite easily if the pages don't require authentication - for instance I can create several pages under the app and if a new user comes I can send them to any page:
The problem is that if I need to have authentication then once the user is authenticated they get redirected to my default post-authorization url.
Is there a way for a user that comes to
/game to stay on
/game after they are authenticated without redirecting.
I thought I could do it with the AJAX login form - but I cannot find out how to do that in a Facebook IFrame application.
I think the example using
requirelogin only works for FBML.
 Welcome to my app.
Is there a way to accomplish this with Facebook APIs - or will I have to do some kind of clever cookie handling?

"As a student teacher, I was fortunate to work with a cooperating teacher who said, 'I want someone to love the kids as much as I do.' I was inspired by that and worked at lesson planning to show my 'love.'"
"In retrospect, it was a love for teaching writing and Shakespeare, and it was this kind of love that kept me going for a few years. However, what I loved changed when I began working with inspiring, bright, and often selfless teens; I loved the 'good' kids. Now in my 16th year of teaching, I realize love isn't a feeling; it's an act of the will, a conscious choice I make no matter what students do. AP Amy may challenge my grading or Sophomore Sam may say, 'This is stupid' every day, but I love them. In loving my challenging students, I have found the sweetest successes."
--Tracy Fisher Bouslog, Parkway South High School, Manchester, Missouri10 years teaching
Unlocking Shakespeare's Language: Help for the Teacher and Student With the activities in this book by Randal Robinson, your students can come to understand the language of Shakespeare by learning to recognize and translate troublesome words and syntactic patterns. The activities involve rearranging words in lines of Shakespeare to a more familiar subject-verb-object, or complement, sequence; rearranging lines to reproduce Shakespearean rhymes and iambic pentameter; imitating Shakespeare using modern sentences; and other detailed work with words.
Performance Approaches to Teaching Shakespeare Edward L. Rocklin offers teachers a wide array of concepts and practices to explore with their students specific performances as well as the performance potentials of a Shakespeare text. Examining drama as both text and performance opens up a range of actions that inexperienced readers can miss when they are limited to reading words on the page.
"Shakespeare for a New Age" is the theme for this September 2002 English Journal issue.

I admit it.
I've been covering this season's major ice sport in lukewarm-water fashion.
The NHL lockout and the fact the Avalanche's season had all the intensity of a spring snow on a sunny mountain reduced my big stick coverage to toothpick style.
But the current Stanley Cup competition has changed my viewing habits, along with those of fans across the country who might have determined during the season that a puck's major use was as a desk paperweight.
The shining example regarding upbeat national interest was Wednesday night's thriller in the Stanley Cup Finals opener, when the Chicago Blackhawks beat the Boston Bruins 4-3 in triple overtime.
NBC's coverage produced an average of more than 6.4 million viewers — up 119 percent over last year's Stanley Cup opener between the Los Angeles Kings and the New Jersey Devils.
Wednesday's five-hour-plus game was the second-most-watched Game 1 in Stanley Cup Finals history, behind only the Detroit Red Wings and Philadelphia Flyers in 2006 on Fox.
The viewing pinnacle (7.5 million viewers) peaked at 9:15 p.m. MDT during the first overtime period, when both teams were hitting each other while skating like they owned the world. There was lots of hockey action but no score.
The game had the largest TV audience of the night in the important male demographics area that the Madison Avenue advertising community covets.
Predictably Boston, followed by Chicago, led the audience viewing parade in major TV markets.
Look for ratings results of Boston's 2-1 victory in Saturday night's Game 2 on NBC Sports Network to be significantly higher than 2012's counterpart.
NBC's overall coverage of Stanley Cup action is up 38 percent from a year ago.
One key is the hockey tradition owned by the Finals teams, which were part of the original six modern-day NHL from 1942-67 — the year the league began to expand.
And such historic enthusiasm comes through on television.
The other Original Six teams are the Red Wings, New York Rangers, Toronto Maple Leafs and Montreal Canadiens.
Boston and Chicago had never met in the Finals.
Meanwhile, a tip of the helmet to the NBC broadcasting team — Mike "Doc" Emrick and Eddie Olczyk — whose expertise make it easy for relatively uneducated viewers to understand what's happening. But the duo does not neglect the game's finer points — much to the joy of devotees who know all about the Original Six.
This week's schedule: Game 3 at Boston, 6 p.m. Monday on the NBC Sports Network, with all the rest on KUSA-Channel 9: Game 4 at Boston, 6 p.m. Wednesday, and Game 5 at Chicago, 6 p.m. Saturday.
If necessary, Games 6 and 7 will be played at Boston and Chicago, respectively.
Armchair hockey enthusiasts are rooting hard for such a necessity.
Hoop highlights. Meanwhile, the NBA Finals, which featured Game 5 on Sunday night between the Miami Heat and the San Antonio Spurs, should produce an overall audience bonanza for ABC, which is airing the ESPN-produced telecasts.
The previous contests have produced above-average audience results.
Example: Thursday night's game, when the Heat pulled away to beat the Spurs in San Antonio, provided the second-highest national audience Game 4 rating since 2004, according to Nielsen.
Tiger tales. TV's talking heads and sports radio guys will be constantly commenting Monday about the tense U.S. Open competition, including Phil Mickelson's dramatic eagle on No. 10, Justin Rose's victory and the surprising (to some) challenges on the Merion course.
Still, look for much second-guessing about Tiger Woods, including commentary about his future after a disastrous performance in which he finished 13-over-par, 12 strokes behind Rose.
Even after a major loss, Woods remains the golf story.
Longtime Denver journalist Dusty Saunders writes about sports media each Monday in the Denver Post. Contact him at email@example.com.
Broncos should get at least two more
The score so far: Rest of NFL 77, Broncos 3.
The NFL Network's annual countdown of the 100 best players going into the 2013 season has named 80 picked by "experts."
Three Broncos are on the list:
Wide receiver Demaryius Thomas is 69th, cornerback Champ Bailey 53rd and wide receiver Wes Welker 44th.
Twenty players remain (10 to be named on Thursday's telecast and the top 10 June 27). Obviously Peyton Manning and Von Miller will be named. Perhaps Ryan Clady?
No Broncos player made the top 20 in 2012. The highest: Bailey (46th). Peyton Manning was No. 50 last preseason, while Tim Tebow (Jets) ranked 95th.

Securing his position as possibly one of the best boyfriends ever, a Chinese Star Wars fan hacked a broken R2-D2 toy for his girlfriend's birthday, turning it into an autonomous companion that's almost as awesome as the version seen in the movies.
Using a Raspberry Pi running Raspbian that controls various components easily available online, he added voice recognition, facial recognition, motion detection, Wi-Fi and ultrasonic sensors so that R2 is free to roam and follow commands without crashing into obstacles. There's no word on how much the hacks and added parts cost, but who could ever put a price on owning your own astromech droid? Or permanently cementing your relationship with your girlfriend — assuming she's into Star Wars too. [YouTube via Pocket-lint]

Original Trinity Hymnal, #512
From Psalm 118:1–9, 17–25
Give thanks unto the Lord, Jehovah,
For he is good, O praise his Name!
Let Israel say: The Lord be praised,
His mercy ever is the same.
Let Aaron's house now praise Jehovah;
The Lord is good, O praise his Name;
Let all that fear the Lord extol him,
His mercy ever is the same.
In a large place the Lord hath set me,
In my distress he heard my cry;
I will not fear; the Lord is with me,
What can man do, when God is nigh?
The Lord is chief among my helpers;
And I shall see my foes o'erthrown:
Far better than in man or princes,
My trust I place in God alone.
I shall not die, but live, declaring
The works of God, who tried me sore,
And chastened me; but in his mercy
Not unto death hath giv'n me o'er.
The gates of righteousness set open,
The gate of God! I'll enter in
To praise thee, Lord, who pray'r hast answered,
And savedst me from all my sin.
The stone—O Lord, it is thy doing—
The stone, the builders did despise,
Is made the headstone of the corner,
And it is marv'lous in our eyes.
This is the day, of days most glorious,
The Lord hath made; we'll joy and sing:
Send now prosperity, we pray thee;
And, O our God, salvation bring!

Utah Guardsman Plans Salt Lake City Freedom Walk
By Gerry J. Gilmore
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Aug. 21, 2006 - A veteran Utah Army National Guardsman from Salt Lake City is coordinating efforts to hold the municipality's first Freedom Walk.
Salt Lake City's Freedom Walk is slated for the fifth anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States, Chief Warrant Officer Paul Holton, an Army interrogator, said.
"It's important for people to remember how we felt that day," Holton said.
It's also important to honor military veterans, especially those who've given their lives safeguarding freedom, he added.
Holton is working to get sponsors and publicity for his city's Freedom Walk. He hopes for thousands of participants, but acknowledged, "If I get 500, I'll be happy, too."
Salt Lake City's mile-and-a-half-long Freedom Walk will be conducted downtown and will kick off at 11:30 a.m., Holton said. Formal registration isn't required, and participants will be provided commemorative T-shirts.
Similar Freedom Walks are scheduled around the country to remember those who lost their lives on Sept. 11 and to honor America's military veterans, past and present. The local events around the country parallel the Washington, D.C., Freedom Walk scheduled Sept. 10 and sponsored by the Defense Department's America Supports You program. America Supports You spotlights ways the American people and the nation's corporate sector support U.S. servicemembers.
The Pentagon sponsored the first America Supports You Freedom Walk, in the Washington, D.C., area, in 2005.
Holton founded Operation Give, which is affiliated with DoD's ASY program, in October 2003. The group supports children in war-torn and natural disaster-affected areas of the world. Operation Give has provided toys, medical supplies and other items to children in Afghanistan, Sri Lanka and Iraq.
"We're providing whatever is needed for kids in crisis," Holton said. The U.S. military distributes much of the material, most of it in Iraq, he said.
Holton is a 36-year veteran of the Utah National Guard. He served during the 1990-91 Gulf War and also saw duty in Iraq from February 2003 to March 2004. Holton wrote a book, "Saving Babylon: The Heart of An Army Interrogator in Iraq," about his experiences in Iraq, which included a stint as an interrogator of captured Iraqi generals.
Most Iraqis are very happy and grateful that Saddam Hussein was deposed, Holton said. Yet, he acknowledged that violence continues there.
Holton said he is a firm believer of confronting global terrorism and said it's imperative for the United States to stay the course in Iraq. "It's extremely important the American people unite under the cause of supporting the troops and fighting the war on terrorism," he said.
Information for people interested in organizing Freedom Walk observances in their communities is available at the America Supports You Freedom Walk Web site.

Dear Lenovo,
seeing that you have completely messed up the Design of the W530 here is my recommendations for features to be included your next mobile Workstation:
A 19:10 display with either an IPS 1920x1200 Display or an 2880x1800 (so called retina) Display (offer both). A 16:9 display on a workstation is a joke. Nobody buys a proper mobile Workstation (>$3000 with max memory and large SSD) as a mobile DVD player. I would happily spend an extra $1000 for a good display resolution so stop trying to save a couple of dollars by offering a resolution that is useless for >90% of workstation users.
If you need some insight to the type of work done with your workstation:
CAD: The ideal working area for CAD is a actually square, else you are liable to take wrong design decisions and make mistakes because you see the sides better than what lies above or below. Even if you place quite a number of toolboxes at the sides a view on a 16:9 screen always ends up rectangular and offers less hight than the old 1600x1200 screens
PHOTOGRAPHERS: The ratio in standard analog (35mm) film was 2:3 which has been largely adapted by digital cameras. Again, even if you are working on a landscape picture and placing all your tools at the sides 16:9 is very far from the ideal retio.
MOVIE PRODUCTION: One would think that 16:9 is ideal for the production of films, but for editing it is not. Usually timelines are added above or below the output area. On 16:10 at least some of this space was provided by the additional vertical resolution.
PROGRAMMERS: For software engineers the vertical height is the most important feature of a display, as software is usually coded with many quite short lines. Here of course the 1080 pixel vertical resolution is a grat step backwards from the 1920x1200 and even 1600x1200 resolutions.
2 PAGES SIDE-BY-SIDE: I have heard the argument again and again (usually by people that don't use their laptop for work) that 16:9 is great for viewing two pages side by side. It is not. The ideal ratio for two A4 pages would be 16:11.3 if you don't have a task bar and menu at top and bottom. Discounting these it is closer to 16:12 or 4:3. You actually get a better resolution of two A4 sheets on a 1600x1200 display than on 1920x1080.
A decent keyboard: I currently own a W510 and it has a good keyboard, although not as good as my old T40 and T60 used to be. Now with the W530 you are offering a keyboard that is just not made for typing. A "Chiclet" style keyboard, though it might be ok for gaming is just not for serious work. Just add the 2mm extra hight to the chassis, a mobile workstation is not meant to be a ultraportable.
Graphics that use less power: I don't know how well the current generation of NVidia graphics fares, but the model included in my laptop sucks power like nothing. ATI has a better power management, at least has had in the last couple of years. My W510 runs less than 2 hours on a nine cell battery even at light use.
Other things that would be nice but are not essential:
- Bring back the ultrabay battery. Hardly anybody needs optical drives on the move and any extension in working time on the road would be appreciated. Ultrabay should support Hard drives at the same speed as the main HD controller (for raid).
- A docking station with included graphics (I don't need the full power on the move but wouldn't mind driving three monitors from the docking station)
- A docking station with a fast PCIe slot (x4 or better)
- At least one horizontal USB port on the right and one on the left (for the mouse). Make all ports USB3.
- A seperate microphone jack (used by most headset and allows use of stereo microphones)
- Please keep the eSATA and powered USB ports.
- Please keep the 'nipple' and trackpad input devices with three buttons (third button at the bottom for the trackpad would be nice)
I wanted to upgrade to the W530, but the display ratio and keyboard have put me off. I have been using thinkpads for many many years, but the design keeps getting worse, so I think my current workstation could be my last thinkpad. Might try to attach a W510 keyboard to the new MacbookPro with retina display and run Win7. Now that would be a great machine, but I would prefer it to be black and from Lenovo.
Soooooo sincere words from the heart. I feel the same with you and strongly support you!
I have been trying to - to a ThinkPad the W710 changed to use the HP 8740w RGB-IPS screen, and the motherboard chipset upgraded to Intel 7 Series ....
the above is wrong, is the ThinkPad W701 or the W700.
Good points!
I didnt try this new keyboard yet, so I will not say about it.
I'm in the same situation as bonf. I hope, this message will be read by somebody from the lenovos core team
For what you said about the USB ports.
At least on my W510 I find that there could have been more USB ports.
The entire back of the laptop is unusused practically and could have had some more features put on there.
I also think the stacked USBs on the left side can become useless with certain pen drives, dongles etc.
I also think the esata/usb connector is far too close to the stacked USB ports.
Lenovo is certainly not the only "mobile workstation" vendor. Isn't it time to look elsewhere?
06-19-2012 11:05 AM - edited 06-19-2012 11:23 AM
1) Other 15" mobile workstations are also 16:9. I don't think 16:9 is going to change easily, as it even makes the laptop less bulky and easier to fit into bags. Of course, if Lenovo could manage to reduce bezels and overall size, it would be awesome, but it would likely to affect repairability.
With Windows taskbar at screen side, 16:9 it's actually not too bad and the remaining space is well used by the apps, from Photoshop to, say, Visual Studio. The built-in screen is for special circumstances anyway, as for serious color or CAD or programming work one would use external monitors, and probably more than one, not a 15" screen, which was considered small even 10 years ago.
What would be great is a small resolution bump, like 2150 x 1200 screen. So vertical resolution is there, and everything is small, but still can see individual pixels (which is often essential, when doing anything for the Web, from Photoshop sharpening to software development). Would be nice to have a higher quality panel as option, even though the current FHD TN is not bad at all.
2) Optimus has largely solved power consumption problems, and W520 onwards have great battery life with the standard 90Wh+ battery, and there is a slate battery available if one needs more. Ultrabay battery with its ~30Wh does not really solve the problem.
What I'd like to see in power department, is support for 65/90W power adapter, when battery is attached. Normally, when not using both GPU and CPU, and even if using GPU mildly, their power is more than enough to feed the system. If if more is needed, can get it from the battery, or start throttling when the battery is discharged. It would reduce travel weight by more than a pount easily.
3) Offer the old "traditional" keyboard as an option, even though the new one isn't bad except for the layout. At additional cost if you must. It's still manufactured anyway, and anecdotally even mechanically fits. Just a BIOS update is all it takes to keep many people relying on shortcuts happy.
4) Add Thunderbolt or ExpressCard slot to the dock. That would help with eGPU, at least somewhat. (W530 dock should be able to drive many monitors as it is, as it's DisplayPort 1.2 and supports daisy-chaining).
Adding another USB port on the right, or a dedicated microphone jack should be easy in W530 as it is (via ExpressCard).
I agree, this is a good wish list.
My main gripe is the new keyboard. I am with the original poster, if I'm buying a friggin workstation model which is a brick ANYWAY, add a few MM in height and put a classic thinkpad keyboard with travel more akin to desktop keyboards.
It's an interesting comment about chiclet keyboards and gaming, because in the desktop world gaming keyboards are not chiclet, and are often pretty fantastic keyboards to type on. I use a Razer Anansi on one of my work desktops, I think it's delightful to type on.
So, my wishlist improvements to the classic Thinkpad keyboard:
1.Decrease flex, X220 is not bad but the W520 has quite a bit, this shouldn't be difficult.
2.Increase travel, depth of keyboard
3.Slightly Increase thickness of plastic used in keys.
Again, it's a workstation. I don't care if it's a little thicker, I would much rather have the component with which I am in contact 100% of the time be >exceptional<, not this chiclet crap.
A strange note, on my W520 (i don't know if this is the same in all), the right shift key has a different feel to the rest of the keyboard, I think it's because it sits on top of a support element or something. But I wish the entire keyboard would feel like that key, that would be perfect, I think a lot of it would be addressed by a more robust structure underneath.
(Currenly using a w520)
I have nor tried the w530 keybaord, and do not touch type, so I may not be a turned away from a w540 with a chiclet keyboard if it has been useable for people. I can tell it's not ideal.
I would probably be examining a w540 as I like the w520 and will not upgrade until the w540 is the flagship workstation. As a commercial photographer my vote is for features and power suitable to photo viewing, pixel (big big files) editing, color evaluation, and speed as a tethered camera controller. I like the mSATA solution, and have an Intel SSD there. I swapped the 500 for a Hitachi 750 and might add a bay HD or just cart around a second [external]HD.
I like the idea that for less demanding work Lenovo would offer a power switching system that could use a 90W brick. My backpack is splitting some seams!
I am not chasing thinner, don't sacrifice these workstation features to make it thinner. So offering the old keyboard back (gain a few mm's) is OK with me.
Just my three cents.

Appeal brought on 28 February 2019 by Biogaran against the judgment of the General Court (Ninth Chamber) delivered on 12 December 2018 in Case T-677/14, Biogaran v Commission
(Case C-207/19 P)
Language of the case: French
Appellant: Biogaran (represented by: M. Utges Manley, Solicitor, A. Robert, advocate, O. de Juvigny, T. Reymond, J. Killick, J. Jourdan, avocats)
Other party to the proceedings: European Commission
Form of order sought
The appellant claims that the Court should:
set aside the judgment of the General Court delivered on 12 December 2018 in Case T-677/14 in its entirety;
annul Articles 1(b)(iv), 7(1)(b) and 8 of Commission Decision C(2014) 4955 final (Case AT.39612 — Perindopril (Servier)), in so far as they concern Biogaran;
order the Commission to pay the costs.
Grounds of appeal and main arguments
By its first ground of appeal, Biogaran submits that the judgment is vitiated by errors of law in that it finds the licence to be infringing on the ground that the settlement agreement has an anti-competitive object. According to the applicant, the judgment is based on a broad interpretation of the concept of a 'by object' infringement and disregards the absence of experience and of an obvious restriction. Moreover, the judgment is based on an incorrect legal test which ignores both the context of the settlement agreement between Servier and Niche and the fact that those undertakings were not potential competitors.
By its second ground of appeal, Biogaran submits that the General Court erred in law by substituting its own reasoning for that of the Commission. The General Court considered that Biogaran's alleged inducement was 'decisive' in that it determined Niche's decision not to enter the market. However, neither the statement of reasons, nor the decision state or establish that that inducement, characterised only as 'additional', was 'decisive' in Niche's acceptance of the terms of the settlement.
Biogaran argues, in the third ground of appeal, that the General Court disregarded the principle of proportionality and the objectives of Article 101 TFEU by finding it liable, in addition to its parent company. Since the General Court held that the parent company had directly participated in the infringement and used its power to influence its subsidiary to take part in its own infringing conduct, with the result that the subsidiary had no autonomy whatsoever, it could not find the subsidiary liable in addition to its parent company without going beyond what is strictly necessary for the proper application of the competition rules.
By its fourth ground of appeal, Biogaran submits that the judgment must be set aside in that it validates the principle and the method of calculating the fine, despite the complex and unprecedented nature of the present case and the fact that Biogaran did not play a decisive role.

Orioles seem to have picked up where they left off
Opening Day comeback against favored Rays similar to last year's magical run
ST. PETERSBURG -- After shocking the baseball world in 2012 on their way to the postseason for the first time since 1997, there have been whispers the Orioles' amazing climb to second place was, well, a fluke.
Some say they might have been just plain lucky as they landed one of two American League Wild Card berths, not to mention performing their magic in the rugged AL East.
They came alive after finishing last in 2011, but during this past offseason, they made no major changes to their cast. Could the same band of warriors do it again?
So when the O's opened their season Tuesday afternoon, don't blame some of the skeptics if they were looking at Baltimore under a magnifying glass.
After all, the Tampa Bay Rays are the chosen team by many to not only win the East, but also not stop until they play in their second World Series.
Yes, it was just one game -- No. 1 of 162.
But as the Orioles stormed into the season with their 7-4 conquest of the Rays at Tropicana Field, it became obvious to these eyes 2012 might have been a prelude to bigger and better things.
The O's got strong pitching from starter Jason Hammel, awesome power from Adam Jones, Matt Wieters and Chris Davis, and the type of Opening Day they've been looking forward to since losing to the Yankees in the 2012 AL Division Series.
That it was going to be a less-than-happy opening for the Rays was evident before many in the sellout -- and festive -- crowd of 34,078 found their seats. With two down in the first inning, Wieters sent a David Price hanging changeup screaming to the seats in left field, and it was suddenly 2-0.
Yes, the David Price as in the 2012 AL Cy Young Award winner.
The last time the left-hander allowed a first-inning homer was to the Yankees' Curtis Granderson on July 20, 2011.
"I really don't think I ever settled in in that game at all," said Price. "It's a very tough team. Giving them two runs in the first inning is something you try and stay away from."
Throughout Spring Training, the theme in the Orioles camp was not to skip a beat, to continue the momentum form 2012.
"We were excited," said winning pitcher Hammel, who allowed just three hits and three runs during six innings. "We know what's going on in the clubhouse. For all the things that happen outside the clubhouse, we don't care.
"We barely changed the team this year, so it's something we're proud of right now. We're going to continue to play hard. It was No. 1 of 162. We'll come back tomorrow and continue to do it."
It is important, however, to not get overly giddy after just one win. The way the O's handled the Rays was impressive, but Price and his teammates are going to win a lot of games during the marathon.
No one is able to put Tuesday in better perspective than Orioles skipper Buck Showalter.
Opening Day?
"Not really that important," said Showalter. "I'm not one of those who says it is. How important is a Spring Training record? How important are offseason acquisitions for the most part? The season wouldn't have ended had we lost today, or if we lose tomorrow, or if we win.
"That's what I keep telling our players. This is a great group about staying in the moment and staying in reality.
"You look at the number of guys who missed time last year, we feel like if we can just keep our people on the field, we can be competitive."
The Rays, who had managed just two hits -- a Ben Zobrist first-inning single and fourth-inning homer -- off Hammel through five innings, pulled even in the sixth when Desmond Jennings doubled home Kelly Johnson. They jumped ahead, 3-2, when Jennings scored on Zobrist's sacrifice fly.
With Price finished -- he had thrown 100 pitches through six innings -- the O's bombarded reliever Jake McGee with five runs on four hits in the seventh.
There were two keys in that inning: Jones, who had doubled and singled off Price, ripped a two-run double to left-center that put the Orioles up for good, if only by one run.
But moments later, Wieters, who had walked and doubled after his homer, was intentionally walked to put runners on first and second. Davis then hit McGee's first pitch and it was 7-3 -- and over.
Just one game.
And that's also the way Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon viewed it.
"I thought we did a lot of really good things today," he said. "Our defense was fantastic -- and David Price getting through six innings without hit best stuff, yet coming out of the game with a 3-2 lead and 100 pitches. I thought all that stuff was really good."
Or as Showalter put it: "Today starts a long journey together, and I'm as curious as everybody else to see where it takes us."
Really, that's what Opening Day is all about.

Big Rapids, Mich. - The Ferris State University men's ice hockey team dropped a heart-breaking 3-2 decision to the Alaska Nanooks in the Central Collegiate Hockey Association (CCHA) series finale inside the Ewigleben Ice Arena on Saturday (Oct. 27) night.
The Nanooks scored the game-winning goal with less than a minute to play in the third period as they were able to depart with a series' split against the defending CCHA Regular-Season Champions in the opening weekend of league play.
The Bulldogs tallied the lone goal of the first period when junior center Cory Kane scored his second goal of the season at 10:39 off an assist from junior wing Justin DeMartino.
Alaska answered back at 12:47 of the second frame when junior forward Cody Kunyk notched the Nanooks' first goal of the evening with the pass coming from junior wing Colton Beck.
The two teams remained tied at a goal apiece heading into the third period. Alaska struck first as Beck tallied the Nanook's second goal of the night and his second of the year at 9:07 off an assist by Kunyk.
However, just over five minutes later at 14:12, the Bulldogs tied the game at 2-2 when junior wing Garrett Thompson scored his second goal of the season with senior wing Kyle Bonis picking up the assist.
Overtime was not to be, however, as the Nanooks scored the final goal of the night at 19:10. UAF freshman forward Tyler Morley notched his third goal of the year for the game-winner with senior forward Jarret Granberg on the pass.
Ferris State dropped to 2-2-2 overall and 1-1-0 in the CCHA with the setback while the Nanooks improved to 3-2-1 overall and 1-1-0 in league play.
Bulldog sophomore goaltender CJ Motte totaled 36 saves on the night for the Bulldogs while sophomore goaltender Sean Cahill made 23 saves for the Nanooks.
Ferris State was outshot by a 39-25 count and the Nanooks posted a decisive 17-5 edge in the third and final period. FSU was also called for six penalties totaling 12 minutes compared to two calls for four minutes by Alaska.
The Bulldogs will be back in action next weekend (Nov. 2-3) as they host the nationally-ranked Miami Redhawks. Puck drop is set for 7:05 p.m. (ET) on both Friday and Saturday night inside the Ewigleben Ice Arena.
Tickets for next weekend's series' can be purchased by calling the FSU Athletics Ticket Office at (231) 591-2888 or visit FerrisStateBulldogs.com for more information. They can also be bought online at StarTickets.com.
