First monthly Pitching Performance voting under way
Rangers' Darvish, Dodgers' Kershaw, Tigers' Sanchez, Cards' Wainwright in running
Yu Darvish of the Rangers, Clayton Kershaw of the Dodgers, Anibal Sanchez of the Tigers and Adam Wainwright of the Cardinals are your choices from April as voting is under way to select the season's first Pitching Performance of the Month presented by Head & Shoulders.
This monthly award will be all about strikeout magic, part of the ongoing "Season of the #Whiff" campaign. Will you go with near-perfection during Opening Week? Or perhaps a single-game strikeout record for one of Major League Baseball's original franchises? Will you be swayed by one of those two 12-K blankings of Ryan Braun and the Brewers?
Here is a closer look at your candidates for April:
Darvish: April 2 at Houston
W, 8 2/3 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 14 K's, 0 BB
This was the only one of the four that was on the road, in the second game of that Opening Week introduction of new American League West and in-state rivals. It looked like this season was going to pick up right where the last one left off, with another perfect game after a 2012 that saw three of them.
Darvish set down the first 26 Astros in order and then fired a 91-mph four-seamer toward the plate. Marwin Gonzalez rifled it right back through the box and through Darvish's legs, and all the pitcher could do was smile. After all, he had whiffed 14. It was part of an overall club-strikeout record, too, because by whiffing 46 Astros in that series, Texas became the first team to strike out 43 batters in the first three games of a season.
"I went that far. ... I'm satisfied with that," Darvish said. "I was relaxed. I wanted to continue what I was doing in Spring Training, but I had a little more emotion."
Kershaw: April 28 vs. Milwaukee
W, 8 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 12 K's, 0 BB
How could he top his Opening Day four-hit shutout of the rival Giants? By finishing the month with a dominating performance of the Brewers, striking out 12 to finish one shy of his career high. It was Kershaw's 19th career game with at least 10 strikeouts. He has allowed three earned runs or fewer in 18 consecutive starts, the longest active streak in the Majors.
"Clayton was as good as I've ever seen him," Braun said that day. "There's no doubt he's one of the top pitchers in the game, if not the top pitcher. When a guy like that is on top of his game, commanding all of his pitches, you know you're in for a tough day."
Sanchez: April 26 vs. Atlanta
W, 8 IP, 5 H, 0 R, 17 K's, 1 BB
It's hard to say which was more amazing: That Sanchez struck out 17 in a game against the Braves, who were on fire at the time with the Majors' best record, or that it set a single-game record for a franchise that has been around since the AL was formed in 1901.
Not only did Sanchez get that revenge against his old division rival, he also shut them out for eight innings while topping the Tigers' record set by Mickey Lolich on May 23, 1969. Sanchez became the first pitcher in the Majors to strike out 17 in a game since Brandon Morrow on Aug. 8, 2010, and the first to do it in eight innings or fewer since fellow Venezuelan Johan Santana in 2007.
"I didn't think for the strikeout," Sanchez said. "I just tried to get a lot of ground balls, stay in the game for a lot of innings. That's what I work for."
Wainwright: April 13 vs. Milwaukee
W, SO, 9 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 12 K's, 0 BB
Making his first start at Busch Stadium since a news conference where his contract extension had been announced, "Waino" was his vintage self. He matched his career high with 12 strikeouts (11 swinging), making easy work of a Brewers club that at the time was hampered by injuries. That included three whiffs of Braun in as many at-bats.
Oh, by the way, Wainwright had three hits and drove in a couple of runs.
"That was exactly how you design pitching," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. "This year, he's back to himself. He's healthy. I think he has evolved as a pitcher. I think seasons like last year teach you how to pitch more than just rely on stuff. He's expanding a little bit."
In addition to voting for the monthly award, you can be part of the Season of the #Whiff campaign around the clock. See a whiff, tweet a #Whiff to @HSforMen and you will have a chance to win cool prizes from your favorite team.

A cut grade is the measure of a diamond's light performance. Cut with proper proportions, light is returned out of the top of the diamond. If it is cut too shallow, light leaks out of the bottom; too deep and it escapes out of the side.
We recommend considering carat weight along with two other influential characteristics: the overall dimensions and the cut grade of the diamond.Learn More
H color: A "near-colorless" grade, color is only noticeable when compared to much higher color grades. Excellent value.

Diagnosis of Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)
If you think you have a urinary tract infection (UTI), your doctor will want to discuss your medical history and current symptoms. A physical exam will be done. You will be asked to provide a clean catch urine specimen. The urine will be assessed for specific bacteria that indicate the presence of an infection.
|Male Urinary System
|Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Urine tests include:
- Urine dip—This is often done right in your doctor's office. A dipstick coated with special chemicals is dipped into the urine sample, and areas on it change color to indicate the presence of blood, pus, bacteria, or other materials. This is a quick, but general, test.
- Microscopic urinalysis—The urine is examined under a microscope for the presence and quantity of things such as red blood cells, white blood cells (pus), and bacteria. This is a more accurate way to diagnose a UTI.
- Urine culture and sensitivity test—A urine sample is sent to a laboratory to see if bacteria will grow. When the bacteria have been identified, an appropriate antibiotic can be prescribed, or your doctor can make sure that you are on the right antibiotic.
More extensive testing of the urinary system may be needed for men or children who develop UTIs. Additionally, if your doctor is concerned that you have any structural problems with your urinary tract system, or other conditions such as urinary stones, vesicoureteral reflux, enlarged prostate, tumors, or polyps, you may be asked to have further testing.
Such testing may include:
- Kidney-ureter-bladder (KUB) x-ray
- Intravenous pyelogram
- Kidney ultrasound
- Spiral CT scan
- Voiding cystourethrogram
- Nuclear cystogram
- Cystoscopy

Doris Richardson of Hendersonville was headed out the door of her home the other day when something she saw on TV made her pause. "They flashed on the screen a new date for doomsday, and here I was thinking about what I was going to cook for Thanksgiving dinner, and everyone else was concerned about whether they would get another Twinkie," she said with a chuckle. "Well, maybe we won't get a Christmas dinner. Who knows?
They're trying to say doomsday is upon us, but I don't believe it. I'm living my life.
Only the Lord knows when that day will come. Besides, I figure President Barack Obama is going to solve all our problems in the next four years, so doomsday will just have to wait. Doomsday would really mess up his agenda."
'IT'S ALL POLITICAL': James P.
Ward of Hendersonville grimaces when picking up an item on store shelves and looking at the price. "Everything is too dang high," he grouses. "I remembering purchasing an A-model for $200, and it was practically new, and now a car will cost you around $30,000. I know that was a long time ago, but $30,000? My gosh, everything has gone up way too much — gasoline, groceries.
It's all political, and people are greedy. And the way our government is spending money, I worry about how the grandchildren will survive. Someone will have to take care of them, and it won't be the government. What we need is peace and a Congress that reaches across the aisle for better times."
FOR GOOD HEALTH: Being an herbalist, Robin Coward of Hendersonville says she is always thinking healthy when shopping for groceries, but with a teenager in school, her thinking sometimes gets ignored. "It's pizza two or three days a week," she says.
"Oh, the kids could choose something else, but naturally they are going to choose the pizza. I don't give up, however, on encouraging everyone to eat healthy. We have a lot of fastfood restaurants around here, and I just wish people would eat right for their health. We all need vegetables and fruits.
People need to be health conscious, although I'm not really succeeding with the pizza."
MEN!: Guys going through the seasonal time of being dragged to the malls to accompany the wife on her shopping trips are sure to chuckle over the funny story submitted by Fred Diehn of Horse Shoe. A couple was Christmas shopping at the mall on Christmas Eve, and the mall was packed. As the wife walked through the mall, she was surprised to look up and see her husband was nowhere around. Because she was so worried, she called him on her smartphone to ask him where he was. In a calm voice, the husband said, "Honey, you remember the jewelry store we went into about five years ago where you fell in love with that diamond necklace that we could not afford and I told you that I would get it for you one day?" The wife choked up and started to cry and said, "Yes, I remember that jewelry store."
"Well," said the hubby, "I'm in the bar right next to it."
LAST BUT NOT LEAST: The Henderson County Heritage Museum, in a continuing observance of the 150th anniversary of the Civil War, will host a lecture and book signing at 2 p.m. Saturday by Terrell Garren as the introduction of his new book, "MEASURED IN BLOOD," which is about the role of Henderson County in the American Civil War. Garren's book is a nonfiction work featuring a report on every man from Henderson County who fought in the war. The book covers each of the military units formed in our county and tracks the travel routes and timeline for each unit. One chapter questions Unionism vs. Confederate affiliation before, during and after the war. The lecture will take place in the courtroom of the Historic Courthouse, with the book signing and refreshments following in the Carolina 1st Community Room. It's a free event.

Racket (formerly PLT Scheme) is a programming language suitable for implementation tasks ranging from scripting to application development, including GUIs, Web services, etc. It includes the DrRacket programming environment, a virtual machine with a just-in-time compiler, tools for creating stand-alone executables, the Racket Web server, extensive libraries, documentation for both beginners and experts, and more. It supports the creation of new programming languages through a rich, expressive syntax system. Example languages include Typed Racket, ACL2, FrTime, and Lazy Racket.
GPP is a general-purpose preprocessor with customizable syntax, suitable for a wide range of preprocessing tasks. Its independence from any programming language makes it much more versatile than cpp, while its syntax is lighter and more flexible than that of m4. The syntax is fully customizable, which makes it possible to process text files, HTML, or source code equally efficiently in a variety of languages.
Unifdef is useful for removing #ifdef'ed lines from a file while otherwise leaving the file alone. You specify which symbols are defined or undefined with -D and -U flags, and unifdef removes the corresponding ifdefs, and the enclosed code if appropriate. It's especially useful for removing those "#ifdef BROKEN" and "#ifdef PRIVATE" clauses from code before you release it. Unifdef acts on #if, #ifdef, #ifndef, #elif, #else, and #endif lines, and it knows only enough about C and C++ to know when one of these is inactive because it is inside a comment or a single or double quote.
CLIP is a Clipper/XBase compatible compiler with initial support other xBase dialects. It features support for international languages and character sets. It also features OOP, a multiplatform GUI based on GTK/GTKextra, all SIX/Comix features (including hypertext indexing), SQL and ODBC drivers, a C-API for third-party developers, a few wrappers for popular libraries (such as BZIP, GZIP, GD, Crypto, and Fcgi), a multitasking client and application server based on TCP/IP sockets, object data base utilities, and a functions library.
Youhp3 (Youpee's One Unlimited HTML PreProcessor) is an HTML preprocessor that allows you to embed code of any script language, as well as calling any external program to generate text files. It is specifically designed to work with HTML/XML documents, and provide traditional features, such as define, include, macro, conditional tests, and loop.
EmPy is a system for embedding Python expressions and statements in template text. It takes an EmPy source file, processes it, and produces output. This is accomplished via expansions, which are special signals to the EmPy system and are set off by a special prefix (by default the at sign, '@'). It can expand arbitrary Python expressions and statements in this way, as well as a variety of special forms. Textual data not explicitly delimited in this way is sent unaffected to the output, allowing Python to be used in effect as a markup language. Also supported are callbacks via hooks, recording and playback via diversions, and dynamic, chainable filters. The system is highly configurable via command line options and embedded commands.
distcc is a parallel build system that distributes compilation of C/C++/ObjC code across machines on a network. It can be set up in just a few minutes and makes builds up to ten times faster. It does not require machines to share a filesystem or have the same libraries or header files, and installation does not need superuser privileges.
A virtual desktop environment based on LXC.
A class for accessing files in Git repositories.

Mailbox is an email app for iPhone and Gmail that re-imagines the way we ingest and task-manage our inboxes. It's more than simply a nice-looking email client, as it aims to take a streamlined, efficient approach to handling the large volume of email most of us are accustomed to receiving every day. The management features the main reason to use this app, in my opinion outstrip Apple, and even Google's Gmail app, especially in terms of ease of use.
This review includes several short videos demonstrating the features of Mailbox. You decide if it's so much better than Gmail and Apple Mail that it's worth waiting for.
Mailbox has received some recent press because of an unusual launch strategy: a waiting list. That's right, in order to use the app hopeful Mailbox users will have to wait in line. And it's a long one. After downloading the app, available free in the App Store, I found I was well over the 700,000th person in line a number that came without any real indication about when I'd actually be able to download the software.
The company has reasons for adopting the unusual marketing tactic, and it's certainly generated press, which never hurts a startup, but I'm skeptical about the approach and whether it will get people excited, or turn them away. Regardless of marketing hype, Mailbox's launch, a gradual roll out, is a pretty common approach for startup companies – and recalls Gmail's invite-only launch.
Mailbox's system of swipes is clever. When I viewed a list of email messages inbox, archives, etc. I had a choice between four possible swipes for each message: half way to the right, half way to the left, and a full swipe right or left. Each option presented a choice about how to handle emails.
Handling email was the most interesting and useful part of the application. The app gave me four choices about how to deal with messages in my inbox: delete, archive, schedule later and add to a list. While the first two are common, it's the last two that give Mailbox an edge over the competition. The schedule for later, a half swipe to the left, offered me eight options, including later today, this evening, next week, a specific day or just "someday." Once deferred the app moves the message into the later folder accessible from the navigation bar and notified me via a device alert when it was time to deal with an email. In the settings Mailbox allowed me to customize all of the "schedule later" snooze preferences – for example, allowing "later today" to be six hours from now, instead of the default three.
Lists work much the same way as scheduling. Swiping a message to the far left brings up a choice of lists like "to do" and "to read." The app also allowed me to create a new list.
The email composition part of the app was what I've come to expect from iPhone email software. For short, simple messages the kind most people send on their iPhones it's perfectly fine. There's nothing really imaginative about it, but that's OK. It works. Mailbox also features image attachments that can come from either the iPhone's image gallery, or the option to take a new image with the iPhone's camera, something that sets it apart from Apple and Google's email app offerings.
The app's most significant downside was that it only works for people who own an iPhone and use Gmail as their email service. While it's possible to have non-Gmail accounts forward to single Gmail account, not everyone, for various reasons, will be willing to do that. A Mailbox spokesperson told BYTE the company plans to add additional devices and email providers in the future; they wouldn't share details or specifics. My only other knock against the app was the search feature it's a bit unwieldy, and doesn't compete with the Gmail app's search.
Name: Mailbox
Mailbox's sophisticated approach, simple design, and system of swipes that handle email and task management make this app worth trying for anyone who uses Gmail on their iPhone. For someone who lives in their inbox, and uses email to manage tasks this may well be the best app to date. The UI is elegant, and easy to use, as is email composition and reading. But, its long waiting list and exclusive Gmail-iPhone compatibility will exclude some iPhone users from trying the new app out.

Revision [26940]
This is an old revision of InstallationFrugal made by coolpup on 2013-04-03 05:34:02.
How to manually make a frugal Puppy installation
A frugal Puppy installation is performed by extracting the contents of the container file (either ISO or ZIP) to normally one, i.e. the same, directory residing optimally on an EXT4 formatted partition. Let that desired partition be known as the target partition since one is aiming to install to it. That partition may be located on:
- either an external device, e.g. U.S.B. flash memory drive (U.F.D.) (often erroneously referred to as a memory stick) or some other flash memory device
- or, an internal device, usually a hard disk drive (H.D.D.)
Therefore, the target device is the device which contains the partition that one aims to install to, such as an external flash memory drive or an internal hard disk drive. The minimum nominal size storage capacity for a U.F.D. is 256MB.
WARNING: If the target partition contains any important files copy any important files to a separate partition on another device, because they will be destroyed whenever the target partition is formatted.
IMPORTANT: determine the correct device name of the target device to work on, via the command-line interface:
The following procedure assumes that one is running Puppy Linux. However, the same procedure can be followed within any Linux distribution. If one to use Microsoft Windows go to Appendix 1 below.
Step 1 - Installing a boot-loader to the target device
- install a recent version of SYSLINUX
- if a new version of SYSLINUX was installed, rename any existing directory at /dev/sdXY/boot/syslinux:
mv /dev/sdXY/boot/syslinux /dev/sdXY/boot/syslinux.old
- if a new version of SYSLINUX was installed, create a new /dev/sdXY/boot/syslinux directory:
cp -afpru /usr/lib/syslinux /dev/sdXY/boot/
- install the boot code to the M.B.R. of the target device X:
/bin/dd bs=446 conv=notrunc count=1 if=/usr/lib/syslinux/gptmbr.bin of=/dev/sdX
- place the boot configuration file syslinux.cfg on the target device at /boot/syslinux (this file will need editing if more than one Puppy version has been installed)
- for EXT4 file-systems, install the boot system file ldlinux.sys to the target partition directory sdXY/boot, ensuring that it is mounted first:
/bin/mount /dev/sdXY /mnt/sdXY && /bin/mkdir -p /mnt/sdXY/boot && /sbin/extlinux -i --stupid /mnt/sdXY/boot
- for FAT file-systems, install the boot system file ldlinux.sys to the target partition directory sdXY/boot:
/bin/mkdir -p /mnt/sdXY/boot && /usr/bin/syslinux -i -s /dev/sdXY/boot
- follow the additional instructions in Appendix 3 at LiveDVD
- if there is already an existing Puppy installation re-boot the computer with the flash memory device connected; if there is no existing Puppy installation then either both steps 2 and 3 or just step 3 (if any existing file-system is to be retained) must be performed before re-booting the computer with the flash memory device connected
Step 2 - Creating a partition and file-system on the target device
- install the latest available versions of bzip2, e2fsprogs, grep, parted and tar
- ensure to dismount the target device X:
umount /dev/sdX
- (optional) create a new partition table (disklabel) on the target device X (WARNING - access to all existing files on the target device will be lost):
/usr/sbin/parted /dev/sdX mklabel gpt && /usr/sbin/parted -l
- (optional) create a partition(s) or, delete or resize an existing one on the target device X: Menu > System > GParted > Partition:
/usr/sbin/parted -a opt /dev/sdX mkpart primary ext4 0% 100% print && /usr/sbin/parted /dev/sdX align-check opt 1
- (optional) create the required file-system (formatting) on the partition(s) of the target device X (WARNING - all data on the target partition will be over-written (destroyed)): Menu > System > GParted > Partition > Format to
- select EXT4 for all partitions if possible {fastest file-system for flash memory devices}
/sbin/mkfs.ext4 -b 4096 -m 0 -L PUPPY -O extents,uninit_bg,dir_index,filetype,has_journal,sparse_super -E stride=4,stripe-width=256 /dev/sdXY
- then optionally select FAT32 for another partition for sharing the device with non-Linux devices {requires dosfstools}
/usr/sbin/mkdosfs -v -n PUPPY -F 32 /dev/sdXY
- ensure the boot flag status of the device is set to on via Menu > System > GParted > Partition > Manage Flags > boot or via the command-line interface, e.g for partition 1 of device X to be the boot partition:
/usr/sbin/parted /dev/sdX set 1 legacy_boot on print
Step 3 - Installing Puppy to the target device
- mount the target device
- mount the Puppy ISO (or ZIP) file by clicking on it
- copy from the ISO (or ZIP) directory to the target device either all the files, or, just these essential ones: vmlinuz, initrd.gz, and all those with the extension .sfs (if more than one Puppy version is to be installed ensure that they are each contained within their own directory)
Step 4 - Creating the storage file
When shutting down for the first time there will be the option to create a personal storage (pupsave) file which must be chosen if personal settings and configuration are to be kept.
Appendix 1 - Installation to any external device, from within Microsoft Windows
- Format the drive or partition to FAT32
- Download and extract the latest syslinux .zip file to the C drive, i.e. C:\syslinux
- Then go to directory C:\syslinux\win32\:
cd C:\syslinux\win32\
- Then, with administrator privileges, run the syslinux command to make the target drive bootable: (where X is the drive letter for the target drive or partition)
syslinux.exe -m -a X:
- Open the Puppy ISO (or ZIP) file to view its contents, using e.g. 7-zip, (it is important that the original file names be kept)
- Copy to the target device the files: vmlinuz, initrd.gz, and all those with the extensions .sfs
- Download this sample boot-loader configuration file syslinux.cfg and place it on the target device
- Re-boot the computer with the flash memory device connected
Appendix 2 - Installation to any Microsoft Windows partition and using GRUBforDOS as boot-loaderInstalling the boot-loader to the internal hard disk drive (where Microsoft Windows resides)
Installing the boot-loader to an external drive
When making an installation to an internal H.D.D. with an existing operating system, one has the option to either allow that operating system to remain or be removed. Only remove the existing operating system if the computer is more than 3 years old since most computer manufacturers cease to provide new B.I.O.S. versions after that time. If the intention is to remove the existing operating system, regardless of computer age, then ensure to check for and install any B.I.O.S. updates first.
If the Puppy files are to be appended, by making a frugal installation only of Puppy, then this would involve one of the following:
- either making a new partition for Puppy (not recommended)
- or, using an existing partition for Puppy (recommended)
One can place a frugal installation within a pre-existing Windows installation. The save file, although itself is comprised of a Linux file-system, may reside on a F.A.T. or N.T.F.S. partition; which is why a frugal installation is also called a "co-exist" installation. A full hard disk drive installation on a F.A.T. partition is not possible because F.A.T. partitions do not support Linux symbolic links.
There is an option to install from within Microsoft Windows using the relevant file from here: http://www.mediafire.com/?5ah0d0rzcz5cc
Appendix 3 - How to run Puppy Linux from a flash memory drive on any computer already running
Appendix 4 - Absent internal H.D.D.
- older Puppy versions will not boot from U.F.D. if the internal H.D.D. has been removed:
Posted on 23 Apr 2011, 22:54 by perthie USB Install Issue? I notice that you still haven't commented on this issue. A machine missing an internal hard drive can no longer be booted from a flash drive. The new search procedure fails to find the sfs file on the flash drive. Posted on 24 Apr 2011, 8:20 by BarryK Re no boot usb I have written it down in my to-do list.
Appendix 5 - Using GRUBforDOS for all common file-systems
- install the latest available version of helper program Grub4DosConfig
- install the boot code to the M.B.R. of the target device X:
bootlace.com --time-out=0 /dev/sdX
- install the boot system file grldr by placing it on the target device
- install the boot configuration file menu.lst, or update an existing one, by using Grub4DosConfig: Menu > System > Grub4Dos
- follow the additional instructions in Appendix 3 at LiveDVD
- if there is already an existing Puppy installation re-boot the computer with the flash memory device connected; if there is no existing Puppy installation then either both steps 2 and 3 or just step 3 (if any existing file-system is to be retained) must be performed before re-booting the computer with the flash memory device connected

Well, the reviews are in for five star Yelp-rated Totem down at Le Grand Chapiteau tent in the parking lot of AT&T Park.
Nobody doesn't want you to see this show:
Robert Hurwitt: "'Totem' review: Whimsical vision shapes sweet show"
Karen D'Souza: "Review: 'Totem,' playing in San Francisco, one of Cirque du Soleil's most magical productions"
Leslie Katz: "High drama at Cirque du Soleil's 'Totem'"
Chad Jones: "Thrilling return to form in trippy Totem"
Cindy Warner: "Totem in SF shows Cirque's evolution into higher art form, totally dazzling"
Join the CirqueClub, why not?
They used to have 15% and 20% discounts but I don't know how those links are working now. Costco San Francisco will sell you a pair of Category 1 (good seats, but not the best) for like $157, I think.
Even the cheapest Category 3 seats for $50-something aren't all that bad, actually. How happy you'll be depends on the particular act and your particular seat, I s'pose. You won't be far from the stage at all but you will be off to the side.
Parking is $20 but you can always park for free in the evenings on Channel one block to the west, just south and west of the 4th Street Bridge.
All right, on with the show.
Roller Skates:
OMG, this one's off the hook. Is she going to hit her head on the platform? And just how many RPMs is she spinning now? Check out Massimiliano Medini and Denise Garcia-Sorta from a documentary here and don't miss the start of their IRL romance at 2:30. This is the best act by far, IMO.
Fixed Trapeze Duo:
OMG, it's Rosalie Ducharme and Louis-David Simoneau on the trapeze. Per Leslie Katz, "A trapeze duo cleverly plays out figurative as well as literal ups and downs of romance in a delightfully attitude-filled act." Yep, pretty much.
Amazing. Aluminum poles, very bendy.
Russian Bars:
This is your "Aztec Astronaut stuff"
Unicycles and Bowls:
So, you can figure out the rules of the game pretty quickly and then you can sit back and grade them on how they do. Very impressive. (What this has to do with evolution I have no idea, but anyway.)
Those are your top five acts in Totem.
All right, see you there!

US stars align in anti-Iraq war hunger strike Jul 03 6:34 PM US/Eastern Email this story
Star Hollywood actor-activists including Sean Penn and Susan Sarandon and anti-war campaigners led by bereaved mother Cindy Sheehan plan to launch a hunger strike, demanding the immediate return of US troops from Iraq.
As Americans get set to fire up barbeques in patriotic celebration of US Independence Day on July 4, anti-war protestors planned to savour a last meal outside the White House, before embarking on a 'Troops Home Fast' at midnight.
"We've marched, held vigils, lobbied Congress, camped out at Bush's ranch, we've even gone to jail, now it's time to do more," said Sheehan, who emerged as an anti-war icon after losing her 24-year-old son Casey in Iraq.
The hunger strike was the latest bid by the US anti-war movement to grab hold of American public opinion, after numerous marches, vigils and political campaigns.
Despite polls which show the Iraq war is unpopular and many Americans are skeptical of President George W. Bush's wartime leadership, peace protests have not hit the opinion-swaying critical mass seen during Vietnam War.
"We have been continually sheltered from the actual cost of war from the beginning," said Meredith Dearborn, of human rights group Global Exchange, explaining how anti-Iraq war protests have stuttered.
While 2,526 US soldiers have died since the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003, according to an AFP tally based on Pentagon figures, the impact of the deaths has rarely dominated headlines.
While it is not unusual to see an Iraq-war veteran or amputee in an airport for instance, or newspaper features on horrific injuries inflicted by roadside bombs in Iraq, the United States hardly feels like a nation at war.
Some protestors and experts in public opinion put that down to the absence of the Vietnam War style conscription draft, which means only professional soldiers or reservists can be sent off to war.
"We have done everything we could think of to end this war, we have protested, held marches, vigils ... lobbied, written letters to Congress," said Dearborn.
"Now it is time to bring the pain and suffering of war home. We are putting our bodies on the line for peace."
Perhaps the only time the anti-Iraq war movement captured lasting coverage was in August 2005, when Sheehan and supporters pitched camp outside Bush's Texas ranch, where the president habitually stays in high summer.
Even then, the fiercely partisan debate unleashed may have harmed Sheehan, who faced fierce fire from conservative groups and radio talk show hosts, as much as it hurt the Bush administration's image over Iraq.
The hunger strike will see at least four activists, Sheehan, veteran comedian and peace campaigner Dick Gregory, former army colonel Ann Wright and environmental campaigner Diane Wilson launch serious, long-term fasts.
"I don't know how long I can fast, but I am making this open-ended," said Wilson.
Other supporters, including Penn, Sarandon, novelist Alice Walker and actor Danny Glover will join a 'rolling" fast, a relay in which 2,700 activists pledge to refuse food for at least 24 hours, and then hand over to a comrade.
Though the anti-war movement is trying hard to puncture public perceptions, some experts believe such protests have little impact on how Americans view foreign wars.
Ohio State University professor John Mueller for example, argued in the Foreign Affairs journal in December, that only rising US casualties could be proven to erode public support for a conflict.
Anti-war movements during the Korean and Iraq wars have been comparitively invisible, but public support had eroded in a similar way to the Vietnam conflict, in which the peace movement played a dominant role, he wrote.
Recent polls reveal public scepticism over Iraq, and damage to Bush's personal ratings.
In a poll in Time magazine published Friday, only 33 percent of respondents approved of Bush's leadership on Iraq while 64 percent said they disapproved his handling of the campaign.
A Pew Research Center poll released on June 20, found that only 35 percent of Americans approved of Bush's handling of the Iraqi conflict -- though that was up five percent from a similar poll in February.
the only way she can get men to touch her is when security is dragging her out.
More disturbing is the way she is groping Jesse Jackson, what is she looking for kid #3 from yet another father?
They can't see the plain logic... that their words and actions have alienated people and turned most Americans against them, thus causing the exact opposite effect that they wanted.
But they just keep doing it, more and more. It's more foolish than their very beliefs sometimes.
You have to admit, SteveMcking....It is pretty entertaining aye??
A rolling fast is one of those wussy things leftists have come up.
It is as pointless to call it a fast as giving up dessert with dinner is to show solidarity with the world's starving poor.
In other words, a rolling fast means nobody is actually fasting, just as giving up dessert doesn't put food in the mouth of a single starving kid.
I haven't laughed this hard since Kerry voted for the 87 billion....before he voted against it!!!
Lets help their diet by boycotting any movie or television appearance they may make. They have no idea of starvation. lets give them the real picture!
We all need to start a rolling chow down....I'll start by eating an extra meal tomorrow....one of you can do it the next day and so on....
If you have a Ruth's Chris steakhouse nearby, now would be a good time to make a reservation for tomorrow. It's where Rush, Hannity and yours truly love to eat.
Coked up or ripped on meth, they will not miss the food.
What kinda crap is that?
Starve baby starve!
OK, I'm in....two pizza's coming up for me! Who's next?
I know that this is a sacrifice....but what the hell...it's for the troops.....
These people are all trying to cultivate a Gandhi complex.
Do they recall that the Mahatma's efforts were followed by the most horrendous bloodletting in modern Indian history?
Pacifists always assume that the world will follow their dreams if them only make these little sacrifices. Often exactly the opposite is true . It is far better to fight and fight hard until victory . Forget the meaningless platitudes
they are fond of spouting. They are all like chickens ,waiting with their necks on the chopping block.
Hey Mickie, she likes it!!
Talk about ego. I shouldn't be surprised but the depth of self centeredness these fools suffer from is breathtaking. "Look at me!!!I'm going to be a martyr for a day!" If I never see Sarandon, Penn, or Glover on TV or in the news, it will be too soon...unless their emaciated corpses are found. That would be news.
Where are the stars?
Are they foregoing self medication?
We ought to find out where this wimpy fast is happening and have a Big Texas style BBQ with plenty of gourmet fixings right next store.

Changing Perceptions of the Western Landscape
Sunday May 19, 2013
Albuquerque Museum of Art and History
2000 Mountain Rd NW
Albuquerque, NM 87104-1459
Phone: 243-7255
Website: Click to Visit
Changing Perceptions examines the revived interest in landscape by contemporary artists, demonstrating the power of the land to speak to the imagination.
Recent works in painting, photography, printmaking, and even sculpture trace the evolving image of the landscape in art of the last 40 years. Many contemporary landscape artists explore the way that humanity has laid its hands on the land. Fences, dams, highways, and billboards appear as an acknowledgement that pristine wilderness is a rarity, foreign to most peoples' experience.
Among the diverse artists showcased are Gus Foster, Woody Gwyn,Amelia Bauer, Wes Hempel, Joanne Lefrak, Jack Loeffler, Patrick Nagatani, Donald Woodman, Erika Osborne, Ed Ruscha, Mary Tsiongas, and Vincent Valdez.
Their passionate visions of the landscape take viewers on vividly detailed journeys around the American West and into the challenging imaginations of modern day explorers.

When I bought the Enter Tech Magic Sing Tagalog Song Chip, I became
famous with my friends. I'm famous in a sense that they always consider me
especially when there are gatherings. They would always ask me to bring
my Magic Karaoke Mic along with the Chip every time we meet. Most of
the time, they would also prefer to stay at home just to sing our
favorite Tagalog songs.
This product is really great. The songs in this chip are exceptionally
within our generation. It even helped us minimize our expenses from
going to other expensive gimmick places. Now, we enjoy singing all day
long without worrying it's getting late at night.

EUGENE, Ore. (AP) – Andre Roberson gave Colorado the second chance it was looking for and turned it into the game-winning basket in a victory the Buffaloes desperately needed.
Roberson scored off his own miss with 29 seconds left and Colorado scored the final eight points of the game to upset No. 19 Oregon 48-47 on Thursday night.
Roberson finished with 10 points and 13 rebounds for the Buffaloes (15-7, 5-5 Pac-12), who trailed 47-40 with just under 4 minutes to play when they rallied for their lowest-scoring victory of the season.

"We're just trying to get back on track, trying to get where we want to be," Roberson said. "This was one step forward."
Carlos Emory and E.J. Singler scored 14 points each to lead the Ducks (18-5, 7-3), whose third consecutive loss snapped a 20-game home winning streak.
Oregon was without starting point guard Dominic Artis for the fourth straight game. The freshman is recovering from an undisclosed foot injury and the Ducks are 1-3 without him.
Singler had a chance to win it for Oregon but his long jumper was tipped by Spencer Dinwiddie and fell into Roberson's hands under the basket with 1.1 seconds left.
"Huge win" said Colorado coach Tad Boyle, whose team was coming off a 58-56 loss to lowly Utah, the Buffaloes' only blemish in their last five games. "That was a head-scratcher. But when we're dialed in, we're pretty good."
They were certainly that against Oregon late in the game.
The Ducks led 28-23 at halftime and never trailed until Roberson's last basket on a possession set up by an offensive foul called on Singler at the other end, Oregon's fourth straight turnover.
Roberson took a pass from Dinwiddie under the basket but had his first attempt blocked from behind by Arsalan Kazemi, who had six points and 11 rebounds.
"Go get it, go get it," Roberson said he told himself. "If you want to win this game, put it all on the line."
He got it, and went back up for the basket.
"Andre can get it to the rim awfully quick," Boyle said.
Colorado had 17 second-chance points, including two more by Roberson with 2:12 to play that made it 47-46.
"Dominic spreads the floor," Oregon coach Dana Altman said. "The floor has shrunk and it's been hard to drive to the hoop."
Dinwiddie scored seven of the Buffaloes' first 10 points in the second half as they cut their halftime deficit to 35-33 with 14:19 to play.
Ben Carter answered for Oregon with a jumper from the baseline and Emory followed with two free throws on the Ducks' first trip to the foul line and extended the lead to 39-33 with 11:02 to go.
Oregon's lead grew to 47-40 on a dunk by Emory with 4:26 to play. But those were the Ducks' final points as they went 0 for 3 from the field the rest of the way.
"I definitely sensed a little panic when we started making a little comeback," Roberson said. "You could definitely sense they were feeling pressure to score the ball."
Oregon shot 36.2 percent from the field and had seven of its 12 turnovers over the final 7:39.
Colorado had 12 turnovers and shot 36.5 percent, but the Buffaloes got hot at the end of the game, going 3 for 5 from the field over the final 4 minutes.
"I'm more disappointed with our defense than our offense," Altman said. "We didn't get stops and gave up too many second-chance points."
The Ducks broke an early tie with a 10-2 run to take a 15-7 lead by the 10:58 mark of the first half. Emory had four points during that stretch while Colorado's only points came off a monster two-handed slam of a rebound by Roberson over Kazemi.
Kazemi got his revenge on the Ducks' ensuing possession, spinning to the basket for a one-handed dunk off a rebound. The typically subdued Kazemi then flexed his biceps as the Oregon student section erupted.

Depending on which consultancy you ask and what they're ultimately trying to sell you, the failure rate for technology projects is anywhere from 37% to 75%. I especially like the 37% -- not 35, but 37 -- because those extra 2 percentage points give the kind of false precision that suggests authenticity.
If managing technology pays your mortgage, you usually explain away those failures by pointing to your gray world: gray requirements, gray resources, gray planning, gray risks. The only vibrant color in your life is the brilliant hue of overly optimistic project scheduling.
But that's not the whole story. Here are five unspoken reasons IT projects fail as often as they do, drawn from my two decades as an IT manager and executive in the financial services industry.
1. Technology ROI numbers are mostly fiction. The most complex variable in the ROI equation -- one that's usually ignored -- is the cost of the business re-architecture required to consume a proposed technology. If you take away nothing else from this article, know that technology demands business transformation, and that's usually the largest hidden cost.
The rule of thumb for calculating the risk of rolling out new technology is this: the higher the buy-or-build price, the larger and more expensive the required redesign of your business processes.
[ To launch any successful IT program, you must dispense with distraction. Read more at 8 Reasons Enterprise Architecture Programs Fail. ]
Rethinking your processes is just one disruptive element. Think about all the non-tool-based training your company needs to do before introducing a new tool, and think about all the cultural changes it needs to make to pave the way for new technology adoption.
As soon as you bring culture into the equation, determining the potential cost of an IT engagement becomes exponentially more difficult. ROI analysis will necessarily enter gray country, leaving the comforts of hard science and treading into the imprecision of social science.
It's not impossible to get the calculation right (or close), but here's the kicker: No matter how solid or technically sophisticated an ROI analysis may be…
2. ROI rarely drives the technology investment decision. In most companies, determining the potential costs and benefits of a tech investment is neither art nor science. Rather, it's an elaborate and often dishonest marketing exercise (upward and outward-facing) aimed at persuading senior stakeholders that one HIPPO should win out.
Having worked for both tiny startups and massive multinationals, I've learned that the larger the company, the greater the chance that what drives tech investments isn't what's best for the business, but what's best for the decision-maker's career. And in large companies, those two factors rarely align.
At my previous employer, a large financial institution that has gone belly up, I attended a great many senior management off-sites. One particular exchange with a senior exec has haunted me for more than a decade. During a breakout session, a midlevel manager asked what he should do if he were competing with his internal peers for funding when he knew that their functions and ideas were more important to the bank. The answer from the senior exec: Treat your role as the most important and do everything you can to win that funding fight. In other words, putting yourself first is in the best interests of the company.
The unintended consequence of this kind of thinking was the financial community's spectacular collapse. The unintended consequence in IT -- and this isn't unique to my former employer -- is that project funding more often goes to mildly technical marketers and shameless salespeople, not to hardcore engineers and scientists who let the data drive.
Rare is the executive who puts the company's interests before his or her own (financial stability, career progression, personal brand building). And that kind of behavior isn't exclusive to executives; it's pervasive from the boardroom to the mailroom.
That's not the only unlearned lesson of the banking crisis of 2008….
3. There's rarely any long-term accountability in technology. Multi-year projects are repeatedly green-lit with an implicit understanding that most of the current decision-makers will have moved on or up by the time the project is set to deliver.
The handover of the project's reins to the next-level-downs actually helps the brand of the people moving up. Project failure can conveniently get recast as a failure of execution by the original decision-makers, most of whom are now more senior and no longer directly responsible. If only they hadn't answered management's higher calling. This phenomenon, the dynamic behind "failing up," is endemic to all corporate life, not just technology.
It sounds insidious (and it is), but what's driving the cycle is pretty human. Most people want to see career progression with or without the requisite blood, sweat and tears. In technology, where product lifecycles are usually three to five years max, staying in the same job for more than two or three years signals a lack of drive, ambition, skills.
The message: Change jobs or be considered irrelevant. Upgrade or be upgraded. So there's a structural incentive for career mobility. Long-term projects are consequently damned if you move and damned if you don't.

Rob Parker, the ESPN talking head who was suspended for a month after calling Redskins QB Robert Griffin III a "cornball brother," has broken his silence.
In his first words – I'm not counting the twitter apology – since the December debacle, Parker spoke with Detroit's Flashpoint. It was a safe option given that the host acknowledges their friendship. The entire interview – less than seven minutes – can be found here, and begins at the 3:20 mark. A few highlights:
* I can see where people would take it out of context and run with it …" [Ed. That's hilarious. Here is a fresher on his comments.]
* "It was never about condemning the young man … it was more about concerns, not condemning." [Ed. How sweet. He's concerned for a Pro Bowler who might win Rookie of the Year!]
* "… a conversation that's had in the black community when athletes or famous entertainers or whatever push away from their people … you saw it from OJ Simpson, "well I'm not black, I'm OJ." [Ed. His people? Let me check the calendar to make sure we're in 2013 …]
* "I wasn't saying that he wasn't black enough. When people say that, it's just not true. I was saying these are the conversations that take place, once a guy pushes away …" [Ed. So it's very obvious that Rob Parker learned his lesson. Obviously.]
Parker, who mentions that he owns a barbershop, goes on to defend First Take – "tackling a lot of stuff most shows won't discuss" – and says the show's staff knew "for the most part … which way we were going." [H/T Chris K.]

Census of Population and Housing [United States], 1970 Public Use Sample: Modified 1/1000 15% State Samples (ICPSR 7923)
Principal Investigator(s): United States Department of Commerce. Bureau of the Census
This data collection consists of modified records from CENSUS OF POPULATION AND HOUSING, 1970 [UNITED STATES]: PUBLIC USE SAMPLES (ICPSR 0018). The original records consisted of 120-character household records and 120-character person records, whereas the new modified records are rectangular (each person record is combined with the corresponding household record) with a length of 188, after the deletion of some items. Additional information was added to the data records, including typical educational requirement for current occupation, occupational prestige score, and group identification code. This version also differs from the original public use census samples in other ways: persons aged 15-75 were included, no majority males were included, but the majority males from CENSUS OF POPULATION AND HOUSING [UNITED STATES], 1970 PUBLIC USE SAMPLE: MODIFIED 1/1000 5% STATE SAMPLES (ICPSR 7922) were included for convenience, 10 percent of the Black population from each file was included, and Mexican Americans (identified by a Spanish surname) from outside the five southwestern states of Arizona, California, Colorado, New Mexico, and Texas were not included in this file. Variables provide information on the housing unit, such as occupancy and vacancy status of house, value of property, commercial use, ratio of rent and property value to family income, availability of plumbing facilities, sewage disposal, complete kitchen facilities, heating facilities, flush toilet, water, television, and telephone. Data are also provided on household characteristics such as household size, family size, and household relationships. Other demographic variables specify age, sex, place of birth, state of residence, Spanish descent, marital status, race, veteran status, income, and ratio of family income to poverty cutoff level. This collection was made available by the National Chicano Research Network of the Institute for Social Research, University of Michigan. See the related collection, CENSUS OF POPULATION AND HOUSING [UNITED STATES], 1970 PUBLIC USE SAMPLE: MODIFIED 1/1000 5% STATE SAMPLES (ICPSR 7922).
