1. Knowshon Moreno, RB, Denver Broncos (65.5 percent):
Moreno has been in this space for three straight weeks, but he's still a free agent in a ton of NFL.com leagues. That will no doubt change after his 119-yard, one-touchdown performance against the Oakland Raiders. Moreno also goes up against the Baltimore Ravens and Cleveland Browns over the next two weekends.
Gene J. Puskar/Associated Press
2. Danario Alexander, WR, San Diego Chargers (72.9 percent):
How is Alexander still a free agent in so many NFL.com leagues? He's been the best fantasy wide receiver in San Diego for several weeks in a row, including an 88-yard, two-touchdown performance against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He has scored double-digit fantasy points in four of his last five games.
Phelan M. Ebenhack/Associated Press
3. Bilal Powell, RB, New York Jets (95.4 percent):
The Jets are running the ball a ton, so there's room for Shonn Greene and Powell to touch the football. In fact, this duo put up a combined 39 carries in a win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Powell, who led the team with 78 rushing yards, has scored double-digit fantasy points in three of his last four games.
David Richard/US Presswire / USA TODAY Sports
4. Josh Gordon, WR, Cleveland Browns (79.1 percent):
Gordon, a hot waiver-wire pickup earlier this season, is getting hot again with a combined 14 receptions, 202 yards and one touchdown in his last two games. With a terrific matchup upcoming against the Washington Redskins and their poor pass defense, Gordon has fantasy sleeper written all over him in Week 15.
Stephen Brashear/Associated Press
5. Russell Wilson, QB, Seattle Seahawks (81.6 percent):
Much to the chagrin of fantasy owners, Wilson was pulled out of the Week 14 game against the Arizona Cardinals in what was an absolute blowout. He would finish with just 9.12 fantasy points. Still, he had been white hot up until that point and has a great matchup against the Buffalo Bills next on the schedule.
Michael Conroy/Associated Press / AP
6. Vick Ballard, RB, Indianapolis Colts (64.4 percent):
The Colts appear to have given Ballard a featured role (more or less), and he's played well with double-digit fantasy points in each of his last two games. While he's no more than a flex option in most formats, it never hurts to add backfield depth to your fantasy roster during your postseason run to a title.
Michael Conroy/Associated Press
7. Kenny Britt, WR, Tennessee Titans (37.4 percent):
Britt is now back on the fantasy radar, as he's posted double-digit fantasy points in two straight games. He put up 143 yards in a loss to the Colts and found the end zone in each of his previous two contests, so Britt appears to be getting over his numerous leg ailments. He goes up against the Jets next on the slate.
Phelan M. Ebenhack/Associated Press
8. Montell Owens, RB, Jacksonville Jaguars (99.1 percent):
If you were brave enough to start Owens this past weekend, you were rewarded with 102 scrimmage yards, one touchdown and a solid 16.20 fantasy points. He has a tough matchup next against the Miami Dolphins, but Owens is now worth at least a fantasy roster spot as long as he's atop the Jaguars depth chart.
Kathy Willens/Associated Press
9. David Wilson, RB, New York Giants (52.3 percent):
It sure looked like Ahmad Bradshaw had re-claimed the featured backfield role in New York, at least until he hurt his knee against the New Orleans Saints. That opened the door for Wilson, who found the end zone both as a return man on special teams and a running back. The rookie is worth a look in most leagues.
Anthony Gruppuso/US Presswire / Anthony Gruppuso-USA TODAY Sport
10. Martellus Bennett, TE, New York Giants (52.8 percent):
In a season where good tight ends have been tough to find, Bennett is getting hot for fantasy owners. He has found the end zone in consecutive games and is clearly a trusted red-zone option for Eli Manning. If you need help at the position, the former Dallas Cowboy is well worth a look off the waiver wire.

The only thing we should really worry about is leaving some sort of a trace. There should be a trail, something meaningful to follow after we've gone ahead and kicked the bucket. There must be something that we can point to as a lasting offering, something to carry on for us - something more than a plot of earth that will eventually be seeded and grassy, dandelioned like everything else. It's gotta just be something that says, "I lived." It's important to feel that you're not just going to be forgotten, but part of the beauty of these remnants is that they do exist while we're still living and it's best to feel them as live tokens and tributes before the blood has cooled to cold. It's just as good to know and prove that you're alive now than to just have some trace after you're gone.
Willy Mason, the songwriter from Martha's Vinyard, has been writing albums of such impassioned and thoughtful prose for many years, but the material that's found its way onto his new record, "Carry On," is even more pointed and rich, making him seem as if he's even older than we thought his old man soul previously was. He's always sounded wise beyond his years - by decades and decades - but now he's more of a sage than ever before and we hear him trying to make out as much sense as he possibly can. He's wringing it from long afternoons and longer nights of intense thought, of sitting out on a porch, in the middle of nowhere, unbothered by people, place or thing. It's a thrum of silence and the squeak of a rusty chain on a swing, moving through the air, sideways and swirling when the wind kicks up a little and impedes.
These places that Mason goes to are rough and fairly tricky to navigate. They behave according to themselves and an unknown force. They have no starting point or finish line, just a whole lot of middle ground to cover.
He makes no bones about the very real possibility that the bumps in the road are going to be tough to shake, but those might be the greatest reminders that nobody gets a free coast. They might be the greatest reminders that you're here and you still have the ability to love, hurt and surprise and because of that - if the most is made of those abilities - your funeral will be attended. He sings on, "If It's The End," "Before things can get much better, I'm gonna have to face today/If it's the end/It's not the only end/Let it begin/Let it unfold again." It's a suggestion that everything's circular and mostly endless. "Call Out" ties the idea together with what must be done to combat our mortality and to remind others that we're living in that slumped bag of bones. He sings, "If we're all dyin'/What makes us distinct/We call out/Call out." We're fairly certain that he listens to himself.

Akin: 'I am in this race to win'
Top Republicans in Washington and Missouri are abandoning Rep. Todd Akin in droves and calling on him to quit his Senate race against Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill after his explosive remarks that victims of "legitimate rape" rarely get pregnant.
Akin's response so far: Sorry, but I'm not going anywhere.
Story Continued Below
( Also on POLITICO: 5 controversial Akin quotes)
"I'm announcing today that we're gonna stay in," Akin told Sean Hannity on the conservative host's radio program Monday.
"I have a sense that we're still a people of forgiveness. And when people make a mistake — and they're honest about it, they say it was a mistake — I believe they'll move on," Akin added. "I think that there are an awful lot of people that still believe in mercy and forgiveness and God's love. I made a single error in one sentence."
As Akin dug in, GOP support crumbled all around him. Under Missouri law, the latest Akin could quit voluntarily and allow the party to nominate someone else is Tuesday at 5 p.m.
A GOP official told POLITICO that the National Republican Senatorial Committee will scrap $5 million in planned spending on the race if Akin refuses to drop out. NRSC officials want Akin to come to a decision on his own, "But if he stays in the race, the NRSC will be pulling out," the official said.
"The committee has communicated to the congressman that we believe him staying in the race could put majority at risk," the official added. "We will not be funding this race if he stays in."
Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas), chairman of the NRSC, said this in a statement: "I recognize this is a difficult time for him, but over the next 24 hours, Congressman Akin should carefully consider what is best for him, his family, the Republican party, and the values that he cares about and has fought for throughout his career in public service."
And Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, the top Senate Republican whose chances of being majority leader would be greatly imperiled if the GOP loses in Missouri, called Akin's comments "totally inexcusable" and, like Cornyn, urged him to reassess.
"What he said is just flat wrong in addition to being wildly offensive to any victim of sexual abuse," McConnell said. "Although Representative Akin has apologized, I believe he should take time with his family to consider whether this statement will prevent him from effectively representing our party in this critical election."
The conservative group Crossroads GPS also confirmed to POLITICO that it is pulling ads from Missouri.
( Also on POLITICO: 2012 swing state map)
Even President Barack Obama weighed in.
"The views expressed were offensive. Rape is rape," Obama said at a press briefing Monday. "And the idea that we should be parsing and qualifying and slicing what types of rape we're talking about doesn't make sense to the American people. And certainly doesn't make sense to me."
The stand-off between Akin and the state and national Republican establishment has become a test case for just how much clout political parties and institutions still have in an era of decentralized politics and Tea Party power in the GOP. Threats from party committees about cutting off endorsements and funding would have once effectively ended the matter, but such heavy-handed tactics could be less effective at a moment in which some conservatives have flourished by taking on entrenched party forces.
Akin, a veteran politician, also surely knows that if control of the Senate depends on his race, August threats about cutting him off may matter little in October. One Republican who talked to Akin on Monday described his mood with one word: "resolute."
But his foes still smell blood. In Missouri, one GOP source said that John Brunner, who finished second in the Republican primary this month, is positioning himself as a potential replacement if Akin gets out.
Another Missouri-based Republican said he has asked Akin backer Mike Huckabee to tell the candidate his bid is unsustainable in the wake of Akin's comments to a St. Louis TV reporter that aired over the weekend.
"I am working aggressively to get him to quit," said the well-connected Missouri Republican.
In an interview with TV reporter Charles Jaco, Akin was asked about his views of abortion rights, such as whether an exception should be made for cases of rape."If it's legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down," Akin responded.
As a firestorm erupted overnight, Akin moved to save his candidacy. A Missouri Republican told POLITICO that the six-term congressman, hoping to stay in the race, was cutting an ad this morning in which he apologizes for the remark. In a radio interview with Huckabee Monday, Akin also apologized and said plans to stay in the race.
The controversy went far beyond the Show-Me State: Democrats tried to tie Akin to Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan as Republicans, including Romney, condemned the remarks that threatened to endanger the Republican Party's chances of winning the Missouri Senate seat.

Gasoline prices in Cortez have fallen sharply recently, but buyers are getting squeezed at the pumps.
On Main Street Tuesday, Nov. 5, the average price for regular gasoline was $3.39 a gallon, a decrease of 4 cents from the beginning of the week. The average price in Colorado was 16 cents less at $3.20.
"There are so many variables that go into gas prices," said Gary Hanson, Western Refining vice-president of corporate communications. "Prices depend on a number of different things, like location and suppliers, so we tend not to discuss them."
One of the Southwest's top oil refiners, El Paso-based Western Refining, collected more than $550 million in net income last year. It supplies gasoline to 200 convenience stores and gas stations in Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Texas, including Giant and City Markets in Cortez. Both stations guide the area's gasoline prices, according to one local fuel purveyor.
"I'm a small player in town," said Cordell Shumway, who operates the Conoco and Alon stations on Main Street. "I follow what Giant and City Market do."
David Fraley, of Fraley and Co., agreed, saying stations that move the most fuel set prices in the market.
"Collusion is illegal, so we're not meeting for coffee," he said. "We don't have to meet, because the prices are advertised on the street."
When gasoline prices are rising, Fraley said dealer profit margins are squeezed. He explained as fuel costs rise, dealers are incapable of quickly passing on those costs to consumers. In a falling market, he said its not uncommon for dealers to try to recapture lost margins, meaning pump costs take longer to decline.
"This is just one piece of the pricing puzzle, but it's a way for the mom-and-pop operations to stay in business," Fraley said.
Last week, crude oil prices dropped below $100 per barrel for the first time since early July. Industry analyst said Americans are saving more than $100 million per day in fuel costs compared with this time last year.
Fraley projects the market will continue to fall in the short term, citing lower demand in winter.
He said that means consumers could expect additional relief in coming weeks at the pump.
In May, average retail prices in Colorado for regular gasoline peaked for the year at $3.83 per gallon.
Fraley and Co. is largely a commercial fleet distributor, and has the current contract to supply fuel for Montezuma County. Montezuma-Cortez School District superintendent Alex Carter said the school is able to purchase gas at wholesale prices. On the most recent fuel delivery, the school was charged $3.07 for regular gas, he said.

AutoSTAGE is an efficient tool for the cost-effective and easy creation of professional CAD plans, engineering designs and visual images for fair, exhibition, theatre and live entertainment.
AutoSTAGE provides the technical simulation of reality. This is based on an extensive library of over 20,000 2D and 3D symbols in areas such as lighting, audio, video, stage, trusses, rigging, studio and theatre and also banquet and catering.
An integral component of AutoSTAGE is the large collection of tools. This allows for designs of great accuracy in the shortest time, even complex trussing or lighting plans. Apart from the actual design, the clever combination of information allows a variety of other data planning functions, like stock lists for example, to be created. These can be viewed, changed and displayed at any time.
Despite the complexity of the CAD software, AutoSTAGE is suitable for CAD beginners as well. After a short training period, due to the intuitive design of AutoSTAGE, the user can create professional CAD plans without extensive prior knowledge of CAD.
Available packages of AutoSTAGE are:
AutoSTAGE Pro
The professional plug-in tool for high-end users - suitable for AutoCAD 2012 to AutoCAD 2015. Find out more about AutoSTAGE Pro here...
AutoSTAGE Easy
The extensive and complete package for the budget conscious. The basis for AutoSTAGE Easy is Bricscad: the inexpensive and compatible alternative to AutoCAD. Find out more about AutoSTAGE Easy here...
The two worlds of AutoSTAGE
AutoSTAGE consists of two modules: AutoSTAGE 2D and AutoSTAGE 3D. Both modules can be used individually, or together where work is completed solely in either 2D or 3D. It is possible to switch from one "world" to the other "world" at any time. When switching between these worlds the user-entered design and information data is preserved at all times. In this way, the user can achieve maximum flexibility in the use of 2D and 3D designs and benefit from the advantages of both worlds.

Scrapbooking Recipes
With the holidays coming so fast we need more hours in our day. One way I've found to help is quick and easy meals. Here is one that I love to use when I have a full day.
Lazy Log Cabin Casserole:
1lb stew meat cubed
1 can of Cream of Celery
1 can of Cram of Mushroom
1 packet of Beef Onion Soup (I don't use this. I just add salt, pepper, garlic powder and dried minced onions but I'm an eye ball cook)
Toss all this in the crock pot together give it a stir put it on low and cook it for 6 - 8 hours. Home cooked meal with just a few moments prep. Put a salad bag with it and your hubby can't be upset that there isn't a home cooked meal on the table.

Phil Neville knows what it takes to win a derby when there is not much to choose, football-wise, between the neighbouring teams. "It takes balls" is the Everton captain's pithy assessment, by which he means your senior, most experienced players have to stand up and be counted and not be intimidated by the occasion or the opponents.
As far as cojones go, Everton under David Moyes are up there with the best the Premier League has to offer. Feisty, combative and hard-working, everyone admires the spirit in the Everton side and the reputation they have deservedly gained for punching above their weight, although club officials have recently been at pains to point out that with the ninth highest wage bill in the division the commonly held view that they are as poor as church mice is a little outdated.
While money is still tight at Goodison there appear to be 11 clubs where it is tighter and each of them would envy Everton's ability to find value in the transfer market, bring through quality players of their own and open the season with a victory over Manchester United.
The only weakness in Everton's bold facade, the one that keeps showing the view from the back of the film set rather than the front, is a recurrent loss of nerve against their neighbours. Far too often the fight and conviction that have characterised Moyes's 10 years at the club have been conspicuous by their absence against Liverpool.
Last season was a case in point. Everton finished higher in the table than their Merseyside rivals, yet did not manage to beat them in three meetings; and the last of those encounters, the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley, produced such a limp, lifeless performance that people began to suspect some sort of collective inferiority complex was at work.
The FA Cup is one of the few trophies that Everton are in with a chance of winning these days; to reach the final at Liverpool's expense would have been the stuff of supporters' dreams and Moyes's team were in better form than their rivals back in April. Yet no sooner had blue Merseyside dared to dream than the big day out foundered on an unrecognisably timid display.
So the question has to be, as Everton go into the first derby of this season at home, in form and well above Liverpool in the table: are they ever going to make superiority count in this fixture? Will it be vibrant blues or shrinking violets?
When Moyes first arrived on Merseyside Liverpool had all the best players, plus the tradition and the more recent success. The roles have not exactly reversed in 10 years but there are quite a few Everton players that Liverpool might fancy now, and not as many Anfield names that would automatically get a game across Stanley Park.
"There have been occasions when we have fluffed our lines in the past," Moyes says. "We have been the team in better form and we have not managed to produce it in derby matches, I accept that. The difference from 10 years ago is that now we have a few game-changing players of our own. Liverpool used to have so many good players it was hard to work out how to stop them. And maybe that's still how we see them but the two teams are much closer now.
"We have always managed to compete in derby matches. We have never suffered a really heavy defeat even when playing really strong Liverpool sides but I accept we probably haven't won as many as we should have done. We are improving all the time, though. We are stronger this season than last and, when opponents look at us, they can see we've got some good players."
Moyes came to England with first-hand experience of Old Firm derbies in Glasgow and recognises that the Merseyside version is neither as intense nor as all-consuming. "You are looking to give your fans the result they want but the derby result isn't going to define our season," he says. "Finishing above Liverpool in the league doesn't count for anything in the long run either. I would far rather finish in Europe. Trying to finish above Liverpool is a big ask and, if we are favourites going into this game because we are currently higher in the table than Liverpool, I am happy to take the compliment, but we can't just judge ourselves by our rivals. I would like to finish above Manchester United and Manchester City too and I very much doubt if Liverpool set out every year hoping they will be able to finish above Everton."
Last season's Goodison derby was marred, from an Everton point of view, by the harsh dismissal of Jack Rodwell, a red card that was later rescinded when it became clear that Luis Suárez had somewhat over-dramatised a ball-winning tackle. Still fuming at the injustice even now, Moyes has warned that football will drive away its supporters if it does not do something to stamp out cheating, diving and going to ground too easily, and he personally supports a system where incidents could be reviewed retrospectively and bans handed out to players who attempt to con referees.
"People want to see the game being played correctly, they won't stand for players going down too easily," he says. "I think players should stay on their feet and, if I had a player who was diving regularly, I would have a word. It's not the way to play, though I must be honest and admit this is a tricky area. A penalty to win a tight game once in a while might be a different matter."

I've been pondering this question for some time now. It's been a year since the first blog was opened on free.fr (with a little help from my friend Stemp), and here I am, still enjoying blogging.
- I blog for myself-1. It helps me rationalize my ideas when I have to write them down. Making them public forces me to think these ideas through. I have only two non-published articles, one on some additional Tips and Tricks that needs some fuel, another one on an unresolved Nvidia issue. So I publish everything that I write. Looking back, I mostly write about technical stuff, not that much about personal opinions. Same thing on ubuntuforums. I'm not sure why, may be because I prefer face to face debates or I feel loosing my time arguing over the internet.
- I blog for myself-2. The blog is a convenient place to keep useful notes related to Ubuntu, provided I'm online. When I help people on UF, I often go back and look what I have already written, saves my memory space for other things ^^.
- I blog for my friends. I know they are subscribed to the blogs I maintain. So whether you read me in not-so-good-English (here) or in French (there), I thank you for the positive feedback you have been giving. Keeps me going.
- I blog to help people. I do not care about traffic, popularity and stuff like that. If articles are of some help, it makes my day. And I try to feed original content, not old reheated dishes from the supermarket. I really dislike seeing all the same supposed hot news make the blogosphere buzz. I admit stealing ideas from UF where I am a mod (it helps ;)) and where I hang out quite a bit, giving credits and references. I dislike even more seeing over-chewed blog articles without proper references ("Look, I just wrote that" kinda thing).
Hmm.. So much for the technical side this time around :tongue:Advertisements

Krisalis Software Ltd was responsible for the 1997 release of "Ultra CD-i Soccer". Without any announcement it looked like a strange release on CD-i, but after a few contacts there was more behind the horizon. Krisalis was the brain behind some important cross-platform developments of Philips Media, including a port of Chaos Control for Sega Saturn and even Sony Playstation. We follow an interesting history of Krisalis.
Krisalis Software have been producers of successful computer & console games started 20 years ago. Based in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, England, the company began life in 1987 as Teque Software, formed by Tony Kavanagh and two experienced games programmers, Peter Harrap (creator of the famous Monty Mole) and Shaun Hollingworth. All three had been previously employed by the same company, and with the advent of the blossoming 16 bit market they saw a golden opportunity to 'go it alone'.
The first projects, completed with just a few new recruits, were a mix of original projects (Terramex, Flintstones, Thunderbirds) and conversions of arcade titles (Pacmania, Xybots, Continental Circus) for other companies, across all the popular platforms of the day, both 8 and 16 bit. As the scale of the company increased it was possible for Teque to release games of their own, rather than rely totally on bigger companies such as Grandslam and Domark as they had done before. It was decided that a new name was required for this and so Krisalis came into being although the original spelling of the name, 'Chrysalis', was changed within weeks of the release of the first game.
The first Krisalis project, released in 1988, was the science fiction exploration game 'Prison'. Although the Krisalis label was now established, Teque carried on producing many successful games for other companies. 1989 saw the release of the most successful game in the company's history: Manchester United The official computer game. Well received by all who saw it, it was the first game to successfully blend a playable arcade style football game with a management side. The Manchester United game concept was developed further with the release of Manchester United Europe, Manchester United Premier League Champions and Manchester United: The Double. As well as Manchester United, Krisalis have also worked with John Barnes of Liverpool & England fame, Graham Taylor in his time as England manager and Sheffield Wednesday.
The Teque name was eventually dropped in 1991 in favour of Krisalis, although one-time sister company Teque London, carry on the name to this day. And the Krisalis building is still known as 'Teque House'.
As computers and consoles have come & gone, so Krisalis have evolved and looked to the next wave of machines. From development of games for Spectrum, C64, Amstrad CPC and MSX, through Amiga, ST, Megadrive, Archimedes, SNES and 3D0, Krisalis was focused on both original titles and conversions for Playstation and Saturn. This was the time Krisalis and Philips signed a deal to convert CD-i blockbusters on other formats. Curious cross platform games like Burn:Cycle and Chaos Control were not very common in the EMEA regions, but at least Japan got an official release. After CD-i was over, Krisalis continued for Philips converting "UEFA Champions League" for Sony Playstation in 1997. We hope to trace more Krisalis spokepersons and give us details, because now we are left wanting a lot more to know about a former unknown company to Philips and CD-i in general! Mysterious details about the arrival of Ultra CD-i Soccer on CD-i were part of this deal, which might explain the sudden spontaneous release of this title on CD-i in 1997. Hot stuff!

Target ResolutionApril 03, 2003
I was asked just recently why I chose to design this site for screen resolutions greater than 800x600. I was wondering when I'd get called on this.
The current design for mezzoblue features a luxuriously wide 900x45 pixel header graphic, and the rest of the site follows suit below it. If you compare to my previous narrower design, you'll see I was still targetting 800x600 at that point.
With this revision, I realized that my target audience knows better. I write about what I do for a living — it's a small community, but an educated. I can't imagine a web designer running at 800x600, and even 1024 is too small for the clustered palettes of Photoshop, Illustrator, and others. (ImageReady is a complete mess, for example.)
That's not to say I don't get spill–over traffic from other folks — the odd Google search brings in people running systems that make me cringe. I have NN3 in my log file, for heaven's sake. But these people are not my primary audience and in most cases I don't expect them to stick around due to dry content, not incompatible resolution.
You will notice however that my content area is on the left, and only incidental links are on the right. If you come in at even 640x480, you'll still get the entire content area in the main window without having to scroll. As well, I threw together an ultra stripped–down version for the same reason (as well as to save bandwidth for anyone who choses to use it). These are my concessions, and they are good enough for me.
I have to admit, since I'm forced to run 1024 on my laptop and LCD at home, I sometimes kick myself for making it quite so large. I don't need a full–screen window but I'm getting used to having extra desktop poking through at work, so filling most of the screen is an annoyance. Maybe I'll do something about this in a future revision. Maybe not.
My answer, in short, is that by using what I know of my audience, I can take certain things for granted and target my site a bit further. I have the room to play with the 'rules' and have some fun — so that's what I plan on doing.
Reader Comments
Hey man, I couldn't agree more. The site looks great on my system (powerbook, safari, 1024x780) and like you said, it's all about your audience. The concessions you mention are more than enough to take care of those other folks and hey the stipped-down version is a great idea and alternative for the people who'd rather just get at the content.
Bottom line - it's your site. You don't have to answer to anybody.
This site design is absolutely gorgeous. You've provided plenty of contingency for those who need it and it's a treat to view for your target audience. Who, I agree, for the most part are likely running resolutions that display it as intended.
Thanks guys! I was intrigued by the original question because it was asked in a spirit of curiosity and learning. I still stand by my choice, even though my frustration at window size at 1024x768 grows daily… More important fish to fry, however.
If you're excluding a certain portion of your viewers, why not exclude IE users instead of low-resolution users? Use CSS's little-used max-width with a liquid layout attribute for maximum readability on Mozilla and Opera (I haven't tested Safari.) IE will render at full width while standard-compliant browsers will limit their width. As you said, this site is made for web designers: a population that generally uses compliant browsers.
This argument comes from personal experience:
1. A year or so ago my monitor burned out and I was forced to use an old monitor at 640x480. Many sites were annoyingly wide or even unreadable, while others scaled down gracefully.
2. My paranoid school prohibits changing display properties, and (until buying new computers this year) were locked in 800x600.
I'm sure there are many different situations besides mine that restrain somebody to a low resolution. A liquid layout would benefit such people. The CSS max-width attribute makes your site equally good on resolutions that are "too high" for a scalable design.
Oh, and your MOSe campaign could benefit.

Planning Ahead
Holidays can be a time of great anxiety for people with diabetes because it is so focused on food.
Don't let questions about what to eat, how much to eat, and meal timing dampen your holiday. Plan in advance, so you can fend off stress and fully enjoy the day and keep your diabetes management on track.
Think About the Timing of Your Meal
Many families eat large meals at odd times on holidays. For example, Thanksgiving dinner may be served in the middle of the afternoon. Plan in advance for how you will handle making changes if your meal does not line up with your regular meal schedule.
If you take insulin injections or a pill that lowers blood glucose, you may need to have a snack at your normal meal time to prevent a low blood glucose reaction. Check with your health care team about this.
Be Physically Active
The best way to compensate for eating a little more than usual is to be active. Start a new tradition that involves moving around away from the food.
Ideas include taking a walk with the whole family or playing Frisbee, soccer, or touch football with your children, grandchildren, or the neighborhood kids.
Try Healthier Versions of Your Favorite Holiday Foods
Will the casserole taste just as good with fat-free or light sour cream instead of regular? Can you steam green beans instead of sautéing in butter?
Use a little less sugar in your fruit pie. The natural sweet of the fruit doesn't require a lot of added sugar.
Check out our recipes or search online or healthier versions of your healthier foods.
Have foods to nibble on while you are cooking or waiting to eat.
Make sure the foods you choose won't sabotage blood glucose levels before the meal. Bring a platter of raw or blanched veggies with your favorite low-calorie dip or have a few small pieces of low-fat cheese.
Don't indulge on high-calorie or fried appetizers.
Be Selective
Many traditional Thanksgiving foods are high in carbohydrates: mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, stuffing, dinner rolls, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie, and other desserts.
Don't feel like you have to sample everything on the table.
Have a reasonable portion of your favorites and pass on the rest. For example, if stuffing is your favorite, pass on rolls. Choose either sweet potatoes or mashed potatoes.
If you really want to try everything, make your portions smaller.
Eat Smaller Portions
Because high carbohydrate foods are plentiful at most Thanksgiving feasts, watch your portion sizes. If you can't decide on one or two carbohydrate foods to eat, take very small portions or "samples" of several dishes.
Overall, try to keep your total carbohydrate intake like a regular day.
Eat Your Vegetables
Vegetables are important for everyone! Unfortunately, the vegetable selection on holiday menus is usually limited. We all want to dress up the table with tempting treats. Why not add some colorful vegetable dishes?
Veggies come in all colors and are very nutritious. Offer to bring a green salad or a side of steamed veggies that have been seasoned.
Non-starchy veggies are low in carbs and calories. They will help fill you up and keep you from overeating other high-calorie and high-fat foods on the table.

future web portal
Προϋπολογισμός ελάχιστο $5000 USD
I am working on setting up a new web site. This is hard to explain because i don't want to expose many details being I am trying to do this. but I need an estimate on how much a site will cost to build. I will only deal with company's that sign NDA, no indiduals. I need the code at the end, and the code must strictly follow all updated formating rules from governing bodies w3c [url removed, login to view], etc. If you cannot follow these rules then don't waste my time.
Site needs:
Blogs, Forums, Mail-intrasite, chatrooms,
[url removed, login to view] style profile and search critiera with functional search
Profile, Pic-rating system, video-rating system, Music, customizable homepage viewable to other searching and browsing, not like [url removed, login to view], like [url removed, login to view], friends, everything like facebook and myspace on the profile with different selectors
=general site info
10+ sections of general info that is not dynamic, won't change for a while, hopefully
=action site info
updated news, product, calender, other reports
Administration area to review everything in the database make changes- deleate accounts, bad pictures, update info, information from the webservices or imput manually from my team. basically handle everything from the admin area so I never have to touch the code to update the site!
*All the function of [url removed, login to view] with alot of typographical changes
*These are most of what I need, I want to implement things in phases and add as we go keep with the same developer/designer if suitable.
*Site needs to be safe from hackers and what not
*Looking to build in 3 to 6 months, but need accurate estimates and I want to choose a developer/designer in this search, i don't have to.

There are lots of minorities in many countries. But these minorities were mostly based on etnic and/or religious groups. However being an Atheist, detaches you from the society based on your own thoughts or decisions. In a Muslim community, religion is very powerful in daily life. It seperates believers from non believers in a cunning sense. For instance; obtaining a proper position in a governmental/state organization, or even in private companies (because of their political status) depends on your religious expression.Another important part is the role of family. Since 99.9 percent of the population is Muslim, your parents are Muslim and most of them would kill themselves rather than watching you become a non believer. So they will teach you everything in a commanding and rewarding fashion.
This lifestyle leaves you only one choice; having two identities. First one is your formal identity, its like the way you talk or act in your job; and your hidden personal identity. You have to be really careful otherwise you will get discharged from your community. You cannot find a proper job, even your family will be really harsh on you.
We are in an ironic age, I can discuss Quantum Physics, determinism here and I cannot discuss even the basic principles of Islam in any kind of platform in my home, job or rest of my social life.
In Islam there were no reforms unlike Christianity so it is well preserved/protected. Muslim people are very proud to tell this. In fact, it is proves how corrupt it is. 1400 years of preservation gives you nothing but a Conservative mind.

Hi Cem,
That makes perfect sense, in that you really do have to live two lives. Do you feel that access to the internet is giving more young Muslims a chance to think outside the Koran? I can see from your post here that it enables you to discuss subjects that you could not do in your non-computer orientated life, but I wondered if you got a sense of whether your experience is spreading amongst others where you live.
The violent intolerance of radical Islam makes it an even harder proposition to see change come about in the Middle East. To be outspoken is a death knell. The Inquisition by the Catholic Church for 800 years is the only thing I know that rivals what you and others potentially face. It is unnerving that these zealots consider their actions warranted and desired by their loving god. For you there are no easy answers outside of relocation to a more hospitable environment.
Be safe.
Living in the U.S., it's no different for someone in the same position. While, I don't face the (government instituted) death penalty for apostasy, revealing yourself as an atheist, humanist, rationalist, etc. (or even agnostic), you essentially will be severed and ostracized from your community, household, every relationship you've held dear throughout your life. One still ends up leading a double life, if for nothing more than pragmatic reasons. My wife and my close friends know about my beliefs and my exercise in rejecting religion based on logic and reason, and that is the extent of the people that know. I hope to pass on rational thought and the ability to exercise that rational thought to my child; hopefully my child grows up in a world that is less ready to ostracize based on religious acceptance and more ready to accept based on exercise of rational and logical judgment.
Likewise, Cem, be safe, be well and good luck!
Dear all,
Thanks for all of your good wishes. First of all I love my country and I want to live here as long as possible. On the other hand, I wanted to point out the importance of religion in all areas of life.
When I was working in Libya (and it was Eid (fastening)), a Libyan man came to me and said "I will kill you if stop smoking that cigarette in front of us." and I said "Go f.ck yourself". He did not say anything to Christians who are smoking with me. Living in a Muslim community is not that bad, living in a Muslim community as a Muslim is like hell.
Some of my Muslim friends told me that they are sorry because I am going hell. That is the power of religion. God does not exist dear friends, but the idea of God is more powerful than Almighty(!) itself. If you want to wipe the idea of god please see the link below.
Cem USLU - What do you think about Sufism? Have they got it right? Would a Sufi threaten to kill you for smoking a cigarette?
"Ayer opined that there was "no logical ground for antagonism between religion and natural science", as theism alone does not entail any propositions which the scientific method can falsify."
Simon, I think Sufis are one of the few nice things about Islam. First of all they are spiritual and isolated that means no harm can come from them. Secondly they are very friendly to discuss anything with you so they are open minded.
Do they have much influence in society?
That's just Ayer's opinion. He said that no grounds exist for the antagonism, not that there is no antagonism. I agree with you though, there's a lot of cultural baggage in all the religions. From what I understand, it was in the Enlightenment that scientists started to apply science to Christianity, and Christianity shot itself in the foot by agreeing to fight back on scientific grounds.
If I try to prove the non existence of God, it is as silly as searching clues and relating them with God. As I wrote before The idea of God is what we should discuss, not the God itself. Why do we have to define something to believe? We don't believe our family,friends but someone we don't know anything about. Even assume God exists, don't I have a right to disobey?

Lady Lucy will be 5 months old on June 11th. When I received her ( she was 10 weeks old), she weighed 6 pounds. As of today, she weighs 16 pounds (give or take a pound for my scales inaccuracy). I am concerned that she may be gaining too much weight. I feed her Nutro Puppy food. She gets half-a-cup three times a day. I also give her a small chunk of carrot to chew on each day (my vet said it's good for her teething). Giving her a piece of carrot is another issue for me, also. I am never sure how much, or how little, to give her! I don't give her a tiny piece, for fear that she will choke on it, but I don't want to give her too large a piece in case that is not good for her. She also gets one or two tiny treats a day. If anyone can give me some advice about these issues, I would sincerely appreciate it. I have always had medium and large dogs in the past, and a wee lassie is something very new for me! I don't want to starve her, but I also don't want to overfeed her! I also have concerns about all the health issues I have read about concerning cavs. I am terribly worried that she will develop heart issues, etc., in the future. Are these unavoidable problems for the majority of cavs? I must admit my ignorance about this before I received her...I so wanted a cav, and fell in love the moment I laid eyes on her...that I didn't pay much heed to the health issues.

Tizen 1.0 Larkspur contains new components, as well as source code that focuses on enhancing stability and performance. A new browser-based simulator tool supports the Tizen APIs to allow programmers to run and debug web applications — it also provides a route to simulate running applications with various device profiles.
The new IDE features enhancements aligned towards flexibility around templates and debugging tools. A new emulator is also said to "significantly improve" emulator performance through Intel's Hardware Acceleration Manager for Windows and OpenGL acceleration for Linux.
"We believe that these updates and new offerings improve the experience for developers. We are also continuing to work on improvements and additions, and we will be doing frequent updates to the SDK and source code. There are a few additional components that we plan to add in the coming weeks, and we will continue to fix bugs and add additional features," said the Tizen development team on its blog.
Updates to the platform source code include:
- Web: Support for additional features of W3C/HTML5 specification
- Location: Support for POI (Point of Interest) and route search
- Connectivity: Wi-Fi Direct key features added
Tizen's development body The Tizen Technical Steering Group also says that it has made a number of improvements to the community infrastructure and added a bug tracker and wiki for the community. There are also a number of back-end changes, designed to improve stability and scalability of the infrastructure.
An actual Tizen phone has not been shipped at the time of writing.

Trading Pelts for Pestilence
When European explorers and fishermen began to frequent Canada's shores in the 16th century, they brought with them a plethora of tools and trinkets, including knives, axes, kettles, and blankets.

When European explorers and fishermen began to frequent Canada's shores in the 16th century, they brought with them a plethora of tools and trinkets, including knives, axes, kettles, and blankets. The region's indigenous people traded the Europeans for these items, swapping the one thing they had in abundance—animal pelts. The furs quickly became popular in Europe, and by the early 17th century, the French had established permanent posts in North America to facilitate trade. Little did the natives know that in addition to receiving metal and material goods for their furs, they were also acquiring a strain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of tuberculosis (TB).
The first time Stanford University infectious disease specialist Caitlin Pepperell saw the DNA fingerprints of a sampling of tuberculosis bacteria from Aboriginal peoples in Ontario, she says she "pretty much knew" the bacteria were related to the Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains she had studied as part of her research on TB evolution in Saskatchewan. But that didn't quite make sense. Indigenous communities in the two provinces were more than 1,000 miles apart and were composed of distinct ethnic groups. "I wouldn't have expected them to be in much contact," Pepperell says. So how did such isolated groups of people, spread across vast expanses of Canadian territory, come to share a remarkably similar pathogen?
Pepperell contacted researchers around Canada, including Wendy Wobeser of Queen's University in Toronto, who had sent Pepperell the Ontario fingerprints, to organize a collaborative project to track the evolution of M. tuberculosis through Canadian history. Sure enough, M. tuberculosis strains from indigenous populations in Ontario, Saskatchewan, and Alberta, as well as strains from French Canadians in Quebec, all appeared to comprise a single lineage, characterized by a shared nitrogenous base deletion called DS6Quebec. The minisatellite data suggested that the bacteria spread among the continent's Aboriginal populations from a source population in Quebec, accompanying European fur traders as they set up trading posts further and further west. Historical records show that European immigrants and Canada's indigenous populations socially interacted, and even intermarried—arrangements which made M. tuberculosis transmission likely. Though Pepperell admits that the idea sounded a little "crazy" at first, the more she dug into the data, the more she was convinced that the fur trade was the vehicle for widespread gene flow of a single lineage of M. tuberculosis among Canada's indigenous populations.
"This is a very neat story," says mathematical biologist Carlos Castillo-Chavez of Arizona State University, who was not involved in the research. "This is almost like the anthropology of disease—the impact of people's mobility and migration patterns on disease evolution."
"It's really the most robust description of [tuberculosis] epidemiology in northern Canada," adds Wobeser, a coauthor of the study, published in a recent issue of PNAS (108:6526-31, 2011). Though she suspected the Canadian TB strains were related from the start, she says she wouldn't have predicted that the link dated as far back as the fur trade. "But now that I know it, it makes sense."
The data also suggest that M. tuberculosis can persist in populations at very low levels for long periods of time, exploding into epidemics as soon as host conditions are favorable. Indeed, though the initial spread of the bacteria likely started as early as 1710, tuberculosis was not commonly seen in indigenous populations until outbreaks in the 19th and 20th centuries.
One possibility for this delay, Castillo-Chavez says, is that the continued colonization of Canada by European settlers disrupted the Aboriginal lifestyle. "This is just a suspicion," he says, but "my perspective is that TB activation requires some weaknesses in the immune system, and I think that those weaknesses may stem from problems of nutrition"—such as may have occurred as a result of a shift in "the balance of powers" during colonization.
Regardless of the reason, the finding that M. tuberculosis can persist at such low levels in the population may explain why the bacterium is so difficult to eradicate, Pepperell says. "Probably the most interesting part is the fact that we can learn so much about the evolution of the bacteria and the evolution of epidemics by integrating this sophisticated genetic analysis with historical research," she says.

paradoxical embolism is a blood clot that does not travel with normal blood
flow. Normally, blood flows from the right side of the heart through the
pulmonary arteries and lungs before it returns to the left side of the heart.
This type of embolism often causes a stroke because the clot moves
directly from the right side of the heart to the left through a hole (defect)
in the septum, which separates the upper right and left heart chambers. This hole is called a patent foramen ovale. The clot is pumped out of the heart and toward the brain, where it can cause a stroke.

Back in my single days, my coupled-up pals were determined to set me up with their also-unattached guy friends so I, too, could enjoy the benefits of relationship bliss. And, after some not-so-great first dates, luckily, one such set-up was a winner. Four years later, I'm pretty happy that I took a friend's advice to go with her and her boyfriend to a "nerd"-themed party, where I ended up meeting my guy.
The impulse to set up solo friends actually has some psychological backing, according to a new study—and so does wanting to encourage friends to stay single if that's your current relationship status. According to researchers at Stanford University and the University of Waterloo, both single and coupled people believe their way of life is better and try to recruit friends to follow suit.
What's even more interesting about these findings is that people also tend to idealize their current relationship situations as a way of coping with feeling unhappy or unfulfilled by them (you know, that whole "misery loves company" thing). So, to justify our own choices or situations, we try to push them onto others.
While I don't think my own friend had these subconscious intentions with she set me up with my S.O. (given that she and her BF are now happily married), I totally wanted to have more single friends when I was single so I didn't have to go out alone. So, I guess it's important to take friends' perspectives on your current relationship status with a grain of salt. Pals who are over-eager to have you join their coupled-up club, or ones who push you to break up with your boyfriend so you can fly solo with them, could have hidden intentions that even they might not realize.

AMD has posted a rather interesting Youtube clip comparing its upcoming Llano APU to an Intel Sandy Bridge processor.
The test pitted a Llano-based laptop against an Intel Core i7-2630QM rig in a couple of real life tests and, obviously, AMD came out on top. AMD ran some 3D and office apps side by side, proving that Llano could easily outperform Sandy Bridge in Final Fantasy, with not stuttering or dropped frames.
AMD's power consumption figures were also better, staying under 48W, while Intel jumped back and forth between 45W and 55W. In a spreadsheet test, and the game running in the background, both processor were equally matched, but when the testers piled on some video and post processing, Llano pulled ahead. In addition, power consumption was still under 48W for the AMD, while Sandy went over 70W. AMD then launched a 3D modeling application, only to see Sandy Bridge struggle to cope, while Llano managed to deal with all four workloads.
The test rigs were closely matched in terms of hardware. The AMD testbed was based on an A8-3510MX APU with HD 6620M graphics and the A70M Fusion Controller Hub (FCH). Intel sported a 2GHz Core i7-2630QM, HD 3000 graphics and H67 chipset. Both machines had 4GB of DDR3 and the exact same 128GB SSD.
AMD's Llano clearly has a lot to offer, although it probably won't need to deal with such heavy workloads in real life and Intel will still dominate the high-end. However, Llano could easily hit the sweet spot and score plenty of design wins in the much broader mainstream market. In addition, Llano is expected to end up somewhat cheaper than comparable Intel Sandy Bridge processors and AMD might have a pretty good chance of unsettling Intel in the mid range mobile market.

Our country celebrated a major milestone: the 90th anniversary of the day when women were granted the right to vote.
In the push for equality, Kentucky has been a pioneer in many ways. We became the first state to grant voting rights of any kind to women when, in 1838, those who were single and owned property began voting on matters involving schools.
The latest kurfuffle in Campbellsburg centers around a seemingly simple, though rediculous concept — whether or not the city;s fire department should pay the city $52,000.
Last week, the Campbellsburg City Attorney Graham Whatley said he had been asked by Mayor Jan Fletcher to draft a legal opinion regarding the city's relationship with its fire department.
As a result, Whatley cranked out a 20-page, rambling opinion — that could well have been condensed to less than 5 pages — that levels some hefty allegations.
It has been another great year for the Hussey Relay team. We raised $13,000.00 this year and hope to keep increasing every year. We could not have done it without the help from this community. What a great community it is!! I would like to thank the following individuals and businesses.
For nearly a quarter-century, the Kentucky State Police has taken an annual in-depth look at crime in the Commonwealth, drawing from a database that brings together reports compiled by state and local law enforcement.
Each crime worthy of the police's attention serves as a dot that helps to paint a pretty good picture of the year faced by our 10,000 officers and their civilian support. Historically, these reports show some definite trends, indicating where we are doing well and where we could do better.
Last week, Speaker Pelosi convened an "emergency" session of the House to vote on a bill that managed to combine three major reoccurring and disturbing themes from Washington Democrats' agenda – spending money we do not have, authorizing another taxpayer-funded bailout and implementing job killing tax increases – into one $26 billion bill. The Senate amendment to H.R. 1586, the Democrats' State Bailout Bill, which I opposed, ultimately passed the House by a vote of 247-161.
Hooboy has it been hot lately. Sure, July and August are supposed to be scorchers, but we're approaching 50 days so far this summer that have charted 90-degree days or higher.
As I said to my husband last week, it's wicked hot out there. Hades himself surely is looking for some cool air right now.
No doubt ice cream sales are up right now, as are electric bills as we struggle to stay cool. Box fans, stand fans and oscillating fans probably are working overtime.
It takes months to plan Eminence Day! A handful of dedicated people are working to provide a memorable experience for all of those that are looking for some fun. People like Sandi Hayden, Shelley Summerlin, Tomi Scriber, Brian Golden and Glenn Simpson, along with the festival board. As it gets closer for the City of Eminence, the employees kick into high gear, trying to meet all the requests needed along with their daily responsibilities. Let's not forget how the businesses come together to make sure that the visitors have a good time.
Most would consider it out of the ordinary, to say the least, for a woman like me, who was having children 40 years ago, to be pregnant today. But someone, or someone's database, is convinced that I am expecting.
The Henry County Chamber of Commerce is sponsoring its fifth annual car show at the Harry Hill Park on Saturday.
Kentucky's oldest highway system – our 1,100 miles of navigable rivers – has been getting a closer look in recent months by the General Assembly.
A year ago, a permanent legislative committee dedicated solely to waterways held its first meeting; and earlier this year, during the legislative session, my colleagues and I voted to create a new water transportation advisory board, to give us and others in state government a ready resource of information from those whose job is tied to that industry.
I agreed when Jonna Priester wrote " True leadership means doing that which is right, though it may not be popular." I believe true leadership was shown at the June 20th Henry County Fiscal Court meeting.
During the early stages of a typhoon, the storm begins brewing offshore and out of sight. It is not until the typhoon reaches the coastal shore that it takes full form and residents are forced to deal with such a disastrous storm, moving at speeds up to 200 miles per hour. Once the storm hits the shore, it is only a matter of minutes, hours or days before the waves and wind, destroy homes, businesses and livelihoods.
True leadership means doing that which is right, though it may not be popular.
On Tuesday, June 20, members of the Henry County Fiscal Court missed a prime opportunity to display true leadership.
At issue was whether or not the court would remove Roger Hartlage from the Henry County Planning and Zoning Commission. In April, Hartlage and the other members of SBH Properties received a notice of violation from the state that charged the group with having improper fill material on its property.
The Henry County Farmer's Market was founded on the principle of sharing. Producers in the county wanted to share their cropland, their hard work and the fruits of their labor with their friends and neighbors.
The community wide "giveaway" outreach event on July 22 and 23rd in New Castle far surpassed the hopes and expectations of its sponsors.
I've taken some ribbing recently from family members. It started a couple of months ago, when my husband noticed something was different.
As we got ready to sit down at the table for dinner, he asked "So why are we eating at the table so much now?"
Over the weekend, my own mother expressed some surprise that we were sitting down at the table to eat a late lunch I'd prepared.
For too long, Congress has delegated an unwarranted level of authority to unelected bureaucrats in the Executive Branch for major decisions that affect you and your family.
Members of Congress vote on legislation, but the devil is always in the details. The details of the legislation, which will directly impact you, are often left for unelected government employees to determine. This is an all too common occurrence that lets Congress off the hook for major federal regulations that impact your everyday life.
For thousands of children attending school, the biggest challenge of the day may not be tied to the classroom, but to their health.
A little more than 18 months ago, the General Assembly's Program Review and Investigations Committee began taking a closer look at this issue, to see what more the state might do to help those facing a chronic disease or a potentially life-threatening allergy.
Over the course of the past two years, Americans have lost homes, businesses and jobs, attributable in large part to a lack of effective regulations on Wall Street and in the housing market that led to a series of costly bailouts by the federal government. Last week, Members of the House were faced with a decision between defending the American taxpayer or continuing the culture of "too big to fail" Wall Street bailouts.
When it comes to supplying the energy that powers our country, Kentucky plays a bigger role than most. We represent just 1.4 percent of its population, but provide 2.3 percent of its electricity.
The main reason for that, of course, is coal, which was first commercially mined in the Commonwealth in 1820. Now, only two states extract more annually, and only four depend on it more to run their homes, schools and businesses. Here in Kentucky, it supplies more than 90 percent of our electricity.

Hickey K's 10 in Game 1; Moates Picks Up First Win in Season Finale
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — The Yale University baseball team used a pair of strong pitching performances to complete a second straight doubleheader sweep of Brown to close out the 2013 season, picking up a 3-1 win in the opening game and a 7-2 win in the season finale at Murray Stadium on Saturday.
Yale also swept a doubleheader from Brown Friday at Yale Field, sweeping the four-game series from Brown for the first time since the 1997 season.
Yale finished the season with a 13-25 overall record and a 10-10 second-place finish in Ivy League play. Brown dropped to 5-32 overall, 3-17 in Ivy League play.
In Game 1, junior pitcher David Hickey was the star of the game, striking out 10 Brown batters in his third complete game of the season. He scattered seven hits and allowed just one run on an RBI single by center fielder Dan Sheridan in the bottom of the second inning. But with a runner on first and second following Sheridan's hit, Hickey struck out Jake Levine for the final out of the inning to escape further damage.
Yale picked up a pair of runs in the top of the second on a two-run single by senior outfielder Cam Squires. Freshman shortstop Tom O'Neill belted an RBI double in the fifth to drive in senior captain Chris Piwinski with an insurance run that put Yale on top 3-1.
With the way Hickey (4-2) was pitching, that was all the runs that the Bulldogs needed. Hickey struck out two batters in the fourth, fifth, and seventh innings, and he allowed no runners to advance past second base except for the one run that scored in the second inning.
Squires went 2-for-2 with two RBIs to lead the Bulldogs. Piwinski went 2-for-3 with a run scored.
Yale's starter was once again the story in Game 2, and this time it was freshman Chris Moates (1-4), who struck out six Brown batters in seven innings of work to pick up his first win of the season. He allowed one run on three hits.
Yale picked up single runs in each of the first three innings to pick up a 3-0 lead and another run in the fifth to push that to 4-0. Jacob Hunter drew a one-out walk in the first and later scored on an infield error. O'Neill belted a one-out RBI triple in the second inning. Brent Lawson reached on an infield single and later scored on an infield error in the third inning. And in the fifth, Lawson scored on a two-out RBI single by Joe Lubanski.
Brown plated a run in the sixth inning when Sheridan walked with one out and later scored on a wild pitch.
Both teams scored a run in the eighth inning, with Yale getting its run on an RBI single by Eric Hsieh and Brown cutting Yale's lead to 5-2 on an RBI single by Sheridan.
Yale added a pair of insurance runs in the ninth on an infield error that allowed Lawson to score and an RBI sacrifice bunt by Squires that pushed home sophomore David Toups with the final run of the game.
Junior Cale Hanson pitched a perfect ninth inning to lock down the victory for the Bulldogs.
Lawson went 3-for-5 with three runs scored to lead the Bulldogs in Game 2. Toups and O'Neill both went 2-for-4, while Hsieh went 2-for-5.
