Hammy turns 60 in 2018!
The Hampshire Units were one of several classes of Diesel Electric Multiple Unit (DEMU) built by the Southern Region of British Railways, incorporating a 4 cylinder diesel engine coupled to a DC generator, which, in turn supplied power to two axle hung traction motors.
The DEMU's came to the Mid Hants line in November 1957, taking over from M7 steam locomotives. The DEMU's reduced the journey time by a staggering 22 minutes taking only 55 minutes from Alton to Southampton and saw an hourly service introduced on the line – even on Sunday's. The units were so successful in arresting declining passenger numbers and arguable allowing the Mid Hants Railway line to survive long enough to be saved for what it is today.
The units had a design life of 15 years as it was envisaged that the lines over which they operated would have either been electrified or closed by the time that the units planned life cycle had been exhausted. In actual fact the units completed 47 years main line service with several examples passing into the hands of Heritage Railways and are now approaching 50 years old – a real tribute to British engineering.
The DEMU's acquired a nick name of 'Thumpers' due to the distinctive sound that the four cylinder English Electric engine made.

The First Victoria Cross awarded to a private soldier in the First World War has been sold at auction for £276,000. Private Sidney Godley, of the 4th Royal Fusiliers, earnt his VC at Mons on 23 August 1914 when he single-handedly managed to hold up a German advance on a bridge over the Mons-Conde Canal.
Born in East Grinstead in West Sussex on 14 August 1889, he moved to London when he was 7 and later worked in an ironmongers store. On 13 December 1909 he joined the Royal Fusiliers, a Regiment that has traditionally recruited from London. In 1911 Godley was with the 4th Royal Fusiliers at Corunna Barracks near Farnham, and no doubt lived in Barracks in Portsmouth.
The 4th Royal Fusiliers were one of the first units to go to France in August 1914, and found themselves facing the German Army at Mons in Belgium. Under heavy fire, he was wounded twice, with shrapnel in his back and a bullet in his head. He carried on the defence of the bridge for two hours while his comrades escaped, until he ran out of ammunition and was eventually captured.
Godley remained a Prisoner of War for over four years until 1918, learning that he had been awarded the VC whilst in captivity. He received the medal from King George V at Buckingham Palace on 15 February 1919. He died on 29 June 1957, and was buried at Loughton Cemetery in Essex.
Intriguingly, I was researching the 4th Royal Fusiliers only the other day, as in 1914 they were based in Portsmouth as part of 9 Infantry Brigade. One of the first photos that I saw was that of Private Gidley, with his distinctive moustache. The next day, unbeknown to me, his VC was sold.

Partner Highlights
See how our partnerships are making an impact to help end hunger and poverty.
Keurig Green Mountain, Inc.'s long-term support has facilitated expansion of project work in Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua and Peru, with a focus on addressing the challenges of los meses flacos or, "the thin months", when income from the coffee harvest is depleted. Families that were once completely dependent on coffee for income are finding new ways to feed themselves and improve their quality of life.
Elanco and Heifer believe healthy people and animals promote a healthy, hopeful future. Thanks to the generous support of Elanco and its employees, 2,100 families in Lampung, Indonesia have been provided with the support to permanently lift themselves out of hunger and poverty. Currently Elanco is bringing the same support to over 7,200 families in the Copperbelt region of Zambia and Heibei Province in China.
With a strong commitment to social advocacy, Garnet Hill asked its customers in 2009 what charitable initiative they'd choose to support. The resounding plea to help end world hunger led the clothing and home decor company to become a strong supporter of Heifer's domestic and international efforts.
Over the past 40 years, Starbucks has been dedicated to helping improve the lives of coffee farmers and their families. Heifer International's collaboration with Starbucks began in 2009, when Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz visited smallholder coffee farmers in Rwanda. Hearing the farmers' heartfelt requests for dairy cows to provide milk, better nutrition and income for their families, Schultz and Starbucks employees rallied together to provide the cows these farmers so desperately needed. In 2014, Heifer International was awarded a Starbucks Foundation grant of $750,000 to help fund the Mbozi Farmer Livelihood Improvement Project in Tanzania, providing dairy cows and training to improve livelihoods and quality of life for smallholder coffee growing communities in the East African country. See the inspiration for our collaboration here.

Alpha XI Delta ~ AΞΔ
Open Motto: "The quill is mightier than the sword."
Mascot: Betxi Bear
Symbol: Quill
Colors: Double Blue and Gold
Flower: Pink Killarney Rose
Alpha Xi Delta women's fraternity was founded April 17th, 1893 at Lombard College in Galesburg, Illinois. Ten young women at the college were seeking close friendships and wanted to form a national organization which would be dedicated to the personal growth of women. The original founders were Cora Bollinger Block, Alice Bartlett Bruner, Bertha Cook Evans, Harriett Luella McCollum, Lucy W. Gilmer, Lewie Strong Taylor, Almira Lowry Cheney, Francis Elizabeth Cheney, Eliza Drake Curtis Everton and Julia Maude Foster. Alpha Xi Delta is one of the oldest women's fraternities and was one of the 10 founding members of the National Panhellenic Conference.
Alpha Xi members are called to enrich the lives of women through sisterhood, leadership, knowledge and service. There are currently 113 chapters with over 150,000 members nationwide. They support each other through shared experience and understanding. According to the Alpha Xi Delta official website, their mission is as follows:
- Nurture unity and cooperation.
- Foster intellectual, professional, and personal growth.
- Exemplify the highest ethical conduct.
- Instill community responsibility.
- Perpetuate fraternal growth.
The Alpha Xi Delta women's fraternity let each chapter decide on what groups or community activities they wanted to help with but on April 2,2009 they chose their official national philanthropy Autism Speaks. As their website states they have raised over 400,000 for this cause. 1 in 110 children are diagnosed with autism each year and Autism Speaks helps raised the funds needed for research and education. It also brings awareness and helps advocate for individuals with autism and their families.

The Latin America Nexus workshop kicked off today in Bogotá, Colombia and brings together participants from the water-energy-food sectors to discuss solutions and ways forward in optimizing water infrastructure to meet growing needs towards 2050.
This workshop is the second in a series of three regional Nexus Dialogue workshops, with the first meeting having taken place in Nairobi, Kenya during May 2013 (watch video or read report). These regional workshops –in Africa, Latin America and Asia – bring together innovators and managers from the different sectors to build on 'best-practice' experiences in water infrastructure operation, re-operation and innovation.
Participants are invited to build new coalitions and partnerships for follow-up action in technology, demonstration, investments in portfolios of water infrastructure, and national-level dialogues on policy and implementation.
The workshop in Bogota uses an interactive process based on 'best-practice' to create a shared, cross-sectoral vision that combines best available technology, know-how and experiences.
The objectives of the Bogotá workshop are:
- To develop a better understanding amongst participants to combine and apply best practices on water, energy and food nexus-based approaches for solutions in river basins;
- To identify best-practice success stories in water infrastructure operation, optimization, financing and governance;
- To motivate participants to take practical steps towards implementing water, energy and food nexus thinking and practices in their basins; and
- Help facilitate the creation of new coalitions and partnerships for follow-up actions.
The Nexus Dialogue on Water Infrastructure Solutions is a call to action to those leading transformations in water infrastructure planning, financing and operation: www.waternexussolutions.org.
The Bogota workshop can be followed via Twitter (follow @Waternexus) and Facebook (waternexussolutions). A workshop report and video will be made available following the conclusion of the workshop.

Kentucky's modern gun deer season opens statewide Nov. 8. For the state's estimated 254,000 deer hunters, it's the most popular weekend of the year to hunt.
"The deer harvest to this point is up from last year," said Tina Brunjes, big game program coordinator for the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources. "That's partly due to good weather, but also indicative that we've got a lot of deer."

MONTREAL - Quebec students are hitting the bricks, not the books, to protest tuition-fee increases.
A series of strikes will be carried out over the next two weeks in hopes of paralyzing the education system and making the provincial government back down.
Around 20,000 students voted last week in favour of the strikes.
Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois, a spokesman for the students, says most of the strikes will be felt next Monday. But some student associations in Montreal have already walked out.
Protests are planned outside the offices of the ministers of finance and education.
Last week, students blocked access to a Quebec government building. About 100 student protesters created a human barricade outside the Montreal offices of the Education Department.
Quebec wants to nearly double the cost of a university education over the next five years.
Even with the increases, the province would still have by far the lowest university tuition in the country.
Quebec has generally frozen its fees for decades. As a result, in-province students pay an average of $2,168 per year — far less than the national average of $5,138. The planned increases would bring Quebec's undergrad fees to $3,793.

Virtualization – A Key Enabler of Business Agility
The constant need for more speed, mobility, and insatiable demands for access to information, continues to strain the capacity of service provider networks around the globe. In essence, whatever capacity made available will be consumed.
An open question on the minds of the operators – how can they leverage SDN to not only keep up with these demands but maintaining a highly profitable network business? Such was the topic of conversation amongst operators and our CTO, David Ward, during a panel discussion at the recent Broadband World Forum (BBWF) in Amsterdam.
What lies in the balance for operators — a plethora of access and mobile technologies, customer choice, constrained resources, dynamic changes to traffic patterns, the perceived value and simplicity of their service offerings all combine to challenge their ongoing profitability. The key challenge is building state of the art infrastructure while optimizing return on investment (ROI). As a result, operators are focused not just on reducing costs per bit through increased capacity investments, but on making their infrastructure and operational processes more agile and generating demand for innovative business opportunities. "We have identified virtualization of applications and network services as a means to optimize Service Providers infrastructure resources and enable that level of agility, that will spur innovation and demand for new applications that monetize network capabilities": said David Ward. Moving network service functions into virtual appliances that are spread across a common set of compute, network, and storage resources that can be moved anywhere you need them improves resource utilization and availability while accelerating time to value.
Beyond the many benefits of virtualization, operators agree with our view of harvesting the inherent network intelligence and begun to investigate the pragmatic use of subscriber data, application context, and policy to inject the value of their network services into the digital economy. In effect, they see a huge opportunity to include the destination of the consumer within the service delivery value chain.
As an industry community, we can monetize unique network services across the entire value chain, and we can build an orchestrated environment that serves todays and future demands of consumers, developers, enterprises, and operators alike. Don't forget to check out the video panel discussion with David Ward at the BBWF regarding how the cloud impacts broadband along with his views and comments on challenges facing Cisco and how the company's innovative technologies are helping its customers maximize the potential of the network.

There's no Freemason's conspiracy, there's no alien's conspiracy, there's no pharmaceutical/corporate's conspiracy. It's just not feasible man. Macamana ko nak control beribu-ribu saintis dan doktor di merata ceruk dunia daripada menghasilkan kajian dan yang sentiasa "double-check" kajian saintis lain, dan mereka sentiasa menerbitkan hasil kajian lepas satu-satu, lepas sehari ke sehari... on and on and on. Ko boleh control ahli politik (kasi aje duit dan pepek... jangan lupa rakamkan dengan videocam), ko boleh control sentimen pengguna (buat aje iklan canggih dan buat "sale"), ko boleh control umat manusia majmuk (adakan polis dan askar yang berkuasa mutlak) - tapi dengan golongan saintis yang mementingkan kebenaran dan kejituan dalam ilmu sains dan matematik - how meh? You can, of course... but how far? And what for? Some other scientists will surely screw the scamming scientists in the end. Just for the heck of it. It happens all the time in the academic world.
Selama proses kajian tentang vitamin di seluruh dunia sampai sekarang, terdapat banyak sebatian lain yang pada mulanya dianggap sebagai vitamin, tetapi selepas kajian lanjut yang memberikan hasil yang lebih teliti, sebatian-sebatian tersebut kemudiannya di klasifikasikan kepada bahan yang bukan vitamin, tetapi berada di dalam kumpulan nutrien yang lain. Contohnya seperti di dalam jadual di bawah.
Vitamin berguna dalam pembesaran dan perkembangan organisma mulitisel. Di dalam perkembangan embrio di dalam kandungan, fetus mula berkembang dengan bantuan nutrien yang diserap daripada darah ibu. Nutrien-nutrien (termasuk vitamin) membantu di dalam proses dan reaksi kimia yang berlaku, di mana ianya akan menghasilkan tisu-tisu seperti tulang, kulit, otot, tisu otak dan pelbagai tisu lain. Itu sebab ada anak yang dilahirkan cacat, dan ada anak yang gugur separuh jalan - sebab ada ibu yang kurang nutrien/vitamin di dalam pemakanan mereka (to put you all in perspective).
Okeh! Cukup sampai di situ - aku dah diskus topik ini dekat setahun lepas di entry Makanan Kesihatan? Jangan Suka Kena Kelentong. Jenuh la weh kalau aku nak kena cite balik.
Although the NCI (National Cancer Institute) mailing had not been designed to uncover negative case reports, 220 physicians submitted data on more than 1,000 patients who had received Laetrile without any beneficial response. In July 1980, the NCI undertook clinical trials of 178 cancer patients who received Laetrile, vitamins and enzymes at the Mayo Clinic and three other prominent cancer centers. The study included patients for whom no other treatment had been effective or for whom no proven treatment was known. All patients had tumor masses that could easily be measured, but most of the patients were in good physical condition. Since Laetrile proponents were unable to agree on the formula or testing protocol for Laetrile, NCI decided to use a preparation that corresponded to the substance distributed by the major Mexican supplier, American Biologics. The preparation was supplied by the NCI Pharmaceutical Resources Branch and verified by a variety of tests. The dosage of Laetrile was based on the published recommendations of Krebs, Jr., and the Bradford Foundation. The results of the trial were clear-cut. Not one patient was cured or even stabilized. The median survival rate was 4.8 months from the start of therapy, and in those still alive after seven months, tumor size had increased. This was the expected result for patients receiving no treatment at all. In addition, several patients experienced symptoms of cyanide toxicity or had blood levels of cyanide approaching the lethal range. An accompanying editorial concluded: "Laetrile has had its day in court. The evidence, beyond reasonable doubt, is that it doesn't benefit patients with advanced cancer, and there is no reason to believe that it would be any more effective in the earlier stages of the disease . . . The time has come to close the books".
Treatments for cancer is hardly a new phenomenon, but the explosion of the laetrile movement in the United States in the 1970s was wholly unprecedented. From its humble origins a s a largely regional promotion in California and Tijuana, Mexico, in the 1960s, at its peak in the mid- 1970s laetrile became a household word nationwide with an estimated 70,000 American users and millions of dollars in profits made by the key promoters. Most observers believed the movement began to decline by 1978, perhaps almost as sharply as it had grown only a few years earlier. Nevertheless, a variety of other quack remedies, many as direct outgrowths of the laetrile promotion, are in widespread use currently, and these and others surely will be on the scene for the foreseeable future. It would be relevant, then, using the laetrile experience as a guide, to consider the whys of cancer quackery: Why do some promote it and so many others adopt it? Why should we in the medical community care?

Chris Blackwell
Chris Blackwell was a man of eclectic tastes.
He signed Bob Marley, Grace Jones, U2 and more. What was the common thread amongst these acts? Impeccable musical talent.
Chris Blackwell is the founder of Island Records and the single person most responsible for turning the world on to reggae music.
He was born in London but largely grew up in Jamaica, where his mother had ancestral roots. With an initial investment of $1,000, he formed a record label in 1959, calling it Island (after the Alec Waugh novel Island in the Sun). Island debuted with a jazz album by Bermudan pianist Lance Haywood. In 1960 Blackwell began recording Jamaican popular music and scored a Number One hit on the island with Laurel Aitken's "Little Sheila." By 1962 the budding young record producer had issued two albums and twenty-six singles on his Island imprint. Blackwell formally incorporated Island Records that year, returning to England to oversee the business. He started having success in Britain with the niche market of Jamaican music.
His first major hit, which he licensed to the larger Phillips label, was "My Boy, Lollipop," by Jamaican teenager Millie Small. He next signed the Spencer Davis Group, featuring singer Stevie Winwood, again licensing them to Phillips. After their breakup, Winwood formed an innovative new group, Traffic, which became Island's first rock band. Moving from ethnic music to rock, Blackwell signed a spate of influential British groups to Island, including Free, Jethro Tull, King Crimson, Robert Palmer, Cat Stevens and Emerson, Lake and Palmer.
Blackwell returned to Jamaican music in the early Seventies, placing Jimmy Cliff, whom he managed, in the lead role in the classic film The Harder They Come (1972) and signing Bob Marley to Island in 1971. Marley had already recorded for Jamaican labels, but Blackwell helped make a worldwide superstar of the reggae's greatest talent. Bob Marley and the Wailers debuted on Island with Catch a Fire (1973). He remained on Island till his death from cancer in 1981, recording such classics as Natty Dread (1974) and Rastaman Vibration (1976) and developing a trusting friendship with Blackwell. During the Seventies, Island also signed such reggae masters as Toots and the Maytals, Third World, Black Uhuru, Burning Spear and Sly & Robbie. Blackwell kept his hand on the progressive pulse of rock, too. Such far-reaching artists as Roxy Music, Brian Eno, John Cale, Kevin Ayers, Nico, Marianne Faithfull and Richard and Linda Thompson have been among those on Island's impressive artist roster. The label's knack for ferreting out new talent and trends extended into the punk and New Wave era as well. In 1980 Island made one of its most significant finds with the signing of Irish rockers U2. Blackwell also brought the Cranberries, Melissa Etheridge and Tom Waits to Island. He also explored world music on Mango, an Island subsidiary, with such artists as African bandleader King Sunny Ade.
The secret of Island's success resided with Blackwell's keen eye for talent and insistence on quality control, which has meant keeping the label at a size he can manage. "The bigger labels are supermarkets," he opined. "I like to think of Island as a very classy delicatessen."
Blackwell sold his stake in Island in 1989 and resigned from the company in 1997. In the late Nineties he merged his Palm Pictures film company with Rykodisc to form a new entity, RykoPalm.

Is Elisabeth Hasselbeck Leaving "The View"?
(NEW YORK) -- Now that Joy Behar has announced she's leaving The View, will Elisabeth Hasselbeck follow in her footsteps?
A publicist for The View tells ABC News Radio, "Elisabeth Hasselbeck is a valued member of The View and has a long-term contract." That statement is in response to reports on Friday that claimed the conservative co-host's contract was not renewed for next season.
In one of those online reports, a source tells Us Weekly that Hasselbeck is being let go after market research concluded that she just isn't popular with television audiences.
The source says, "The viewers they polled all said she was too extreme and right wing. People did not watch the show because of Elisabeth. So they told her yesterday her contract would not be renewed."
Furthermore, sources tell ShowBiz411.com that Brooke Shields will likely join the cast of The View. Sources explain that the actress is a Princeton graduate, articulate and a 47-year-old mom, which makes her a perfect fit for the show.
Hasselbeck, a former Survivor contestant, joined The View in November 2003.
Last Thursday, Behar announced she was exiting The View after more than 16 years. The 70-year-old says she plans to explore other opportunities. Behar currently hosts Joy Behar: Say Anything! on Current TV.

"This is the first time I have traveled to another country and communicated with something other than the local language or English," mused Jacob. Finally we could order food in Korea, without pointing to a picture or fumbling through our phrasebook. Knowing Mandarin sure does help if you're overseas, even if it's just at the local Chinese restaurant.
The instance reminded me of visiting Montreal's Chinatown in college, and ordering dinner for a large group in Cantonese because the waitor didn't know much English or French. Or when my family lived in Puerto Rico and frequented the dim sum restaurants of San Juan; once inside, you would never have guessed that we were in a Spanish-speaking territory of an English-speaking country.
The owner of this tiny restaurant near the Korean War memorial was a very jolly third-generation Korean-Chinese whose family was originally from Shandong province. She spoke Mandarin in sing-songy Korean accent, which contributed to her jovial demeanor. She blushed when we asked to take a photo.
"You don't need a menu. I'll just tell you what we have. There's only five things," she said brightly. Which was a relief, and odd, since most Chinese restaurants have edited menus of no fewer than 100 items.
Everything here was about $4.50 US, except an enormous $15 platter of tangsuyuk (the Korean version of sweet and sour pork) that could have fed eight. Since we were only two people, we ordered fried dumplings, xiaolongbao, and jajangmyeon.
What Koreans call jajangmyeon is what the Chinese call zhajiangmian (spelled differently only because of Korean vs. Mandarin Romanization.) Everyone I had met in Korea goes crazy for it, which is unsettling because every bowl I ate there was pretty bad. I'm sure there is good jajiangmyeon to be found, but the Chinese restaurants in Korea I visited cooked the black bean sauce to a bland gelatinous mass, then pour it on top of wheat noodles. The noodles lacks the texture and flavor variety of the Chinese version, but for some reason it's the most ubiquitous Chinese dish in Korea.
I also wouldn't give any props to the xiaolongbao, which did not have a soupy filling as the name would imply. The thick skin and pork filling reminded me of a small steamed baozi (bun). What I found most interesting were the very large jianjiao, which were not at all like the Chinese fried dumplings I'm used to eating. The skin was thick and, like many many Korean snacks, deep-fried. Throughout our meal I watched the kitchen fried up enormous batch after enormous batch of sweet and sour pork. It seems that Americans and Koreans share the same taste in Chinese food.
At least the pickled radish appetizer was strictly Korean.

It took the journalists at Bloomberg News two years – and presumably lots of legal fees – to pry information out of the Federal Reserve that should have been made public long ago. We now know that the Fed's secret $7.7 trillion lending program wasn't just the most massive bank bailout ever seen, and it wasn't just free money for mega-bankers – though it was certainly both of those things. It was also the greatest hoax in stock market history.
No, scratch that. It was the greatest hoax in the history of money. And it was built on lies. How many? Let us count the ways.
Here's the first one: The banks paid back all the money back that they were given. No, they didn't. They paid back the principal on these loans. But by obtaining loans at rates far below market value, we now know they received the equivalent of $13 billion in cash giveaways.
Here's another lie: Fed economists support a free-market economy.
Ben Bernanke is a conservative economist who claims to support a free-market system. But we now know that the Federal Reserve lent astonishing sums to US banks in secret, and Bernanke fought with all the resources at his disposal to ensure that this information didn't become public. He didn't just want it to be held back to avoid a panic during the crisis. He wanted it kept secret forever.
I don't know what you call somebody like that, but I know what you don't call him: A capitalist. Free markets need transparency, so that investors and customers can make informed decisions and 'the wisdom of the market' can prevail. Nobody wanted the market to do its job. When it came to banks, they wanted it to be blind, deaf, and dumb, unable to make sound judgments about their financial soundness.
They still want it that way. They don't want investors to know how badly Wall Street executives failed at their jobs. They don't want the free market to do what it does best – thin the herd so it's free of incompetent managers like the executives who still run our largest banks.
You can believe in the free market, ur you can believe in today's Wall Street. But you can't do both.
Here's another lie, one that's spread by Dimon and others: Giant banks are more efficient. Size brings efficiency in other kinds of business, but these banks needed massive help. America's six largest banks accounted on any given day for an average of 63 percent of the debt on these loans. The only thing they're more efficient at is wringing free money out of government-created institutions.
And, wow. Jamie Dimon sure is a hypocrite. As Bloomberg noted:
JPMorgan Chase & Co. CEO Jamie Dimon told shareholders in a March 26, 2010, letter that his bank used the Fed's Term Auction Facility "at the request of the Federal Reserve to help motivate others to use the system." He didn't say that the New York-based bank's total TAF borrowings were almost twice its cash holdings or that its peak borrowing of $48 billion on Feb. 26, 2009, came more than a year after the program's creation.
He also didn't mention that these favorable loans gave his bank nearly half a billion dollars in cash it otherwise wouldn't have had. Know what's convenient about that? It helps make up for the three-quarters of a billion Dimon's bank gave up to settle charges of bribery and corruption in Jefferson County, Alabama.
Chase borrowed massive sums of money, either because it was in bigger trouble than it has admitted or because it was bleeding an emergency public program out of greed. Either way, they weren't doing anybody a favor except themselves. How big a favor? Chase netted $457.9 million.
Citigroup's an even more extreme example. Once our largest bank (until continued mismanagement led to ongoing shrinkage). It only exists because Robert Rubin and other officials in the Clinton Administration,cleared the way for the largest merger in history with the enthusiastic support of the Republicans. That merger combined a bank with an insurance company, a harbinger of bad things to come in the risk area.
Citigroup's got the equivalent of a $1.8 billion gift, courtesy of Uncle Sam.
Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan sneers at his critics, especially those who think you shouldn't foreclose on families without obtaining proof that you own their mortgage. "Oh, sure," he said in response to government demands, "we'll do our homework."
Bank of America's gift came to $1.5 billion.
Goldman Sachs shouldn't have been eligible for any Fed giveaways because it wasn't a commercial bank. But a special "waiver" allowed Goldman allowed to become commercial bank so it could be rescued from actions it took before it was a commercial bank. Before that it was an investment bank. Yet, strangely, it seems to have kept operating as an investment bank even after the transition, too, even though commercial banks aren't allowed to do that.
Understand that? Don't take it personally if you don't. You're not supposed.
Goldman Sachs's take? Just under $1 billion.
Washington's always telling us that bankers may have done naughty things, but they weren't illegal things. That gets us to our next lie: There's no evidence that bank executives have committed crimes. Thanks to Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley, we may be about to discover whether that's true regarding foreclosures and mortgage filings. But when it comes to stock fraud, the evidence is already piling up.
The Federal Reserve and the US government may have stopped believing in the free market, but the law hasn't. It's a crime to deceive investors about the financial condition of your business, either by lying or by failing to provide the right information. Eliot Spitzer, who knows a thing or two about prosecuting financial crimes, hit the nail on the head when heasked: "where are the inquiries into the false statements made by the bank CEOs? And where are the inquiries about the Fed and Treasury officials who stood by silently as bank representatives made claims that were false, misleading, or worse?"
(Spitzer also proposes a five-point action plan that should be implemented immediately. His piece is well worth a read.)
How about this fib? The media's done a good job reporting on the banks. There's some great reporting going on out there — Bloomberg, ProPublica, the Huffington Post, the Nation, the New York Times – but they're the exceptions.
Television's still a wasteland most of the time. Are you as sick of the "we got all the money back" line as I am? CNN personality Erin Burnett infamously used it to make an Occupy Wall Street demonstrator look stupid. But the reason he didn't know that because it isn't true. Banks paid back the principal but got a freebie from the interest. That's real money – billions of dollars of it.
You know that. I know that. But Erin Burnett, CNN financial reporter, doesn't seem to know that.
We're not condemning all television. Scott Pelley did a great report about homelessness on 60 Minutes just last week. But most channels haven't found the time to fully or accurately report on the enormity of this secret loan program. They've pretty much taken a pass on what, barring some ancient event I'm forgetting, is the greatest financial hoax in history.
And while we're on the topic of Occupy, let's thanking them for the fact we'll probably never hear this next lie again: "Wall Street and Main Street rise and fall together." Banks got massive giveaways. And despite their recent credit downgrade they're doing fine, thank you very much. The rest of the country? Not so much. In fact, let's do a quick inventory:
Robert Rubin made an estimated $155 million during his tenure at Citigroup.
One in four mortgages in this country is still underwater.
Brian Moynihan at Bank of America got promoted, then made that 'homework' wisecrack.
Twenty-four million Americans are un- or under-employed, including record numbers of young people and African-Americans.
The CEO of Goldman Sachs , Lloyd Blankfein, still has his job.
Poverty has soared to record levels since the financial crisis.
Erin Burnett, who made fun of a young demonstrator for not being aware of the misinformation she had repeated, still has an evening news program on CNN. She is engaged to be married to a Citigroup executive.
College graduates' unemployment rate rose last month, while the total amount of student loan debt in the United States is now greater than the total amount of credit card debt.
Jamie Dimon made a second career out of complaining that bankers are being unfairly criticized, even as Chase became the largest bank in the United States – and the world.
Jefferson County, Alabama, where Chase was forced to settle charges of bribing local officials, recently declared bankruptcy.

After several good days of stock performance, Groupon's stock is back on the decline today after a board meeting concluding yesterday without resolving the company's leadership limbo.
Earlier in the week, after several reports appeared saying that the Board was "seriously discussing" replacing CEO Andrew Mason, Groupon's stock began to rise.
Yesterday evening, after the market close, Groupon reported that its board meeting had concluded with no apparent change at the top--or, alternatively, with a strong statement of support for embattled CEO Andrew Mason.
So now the stock is down again.
Leadership limbo like this is a terrible position for companies to be in. The whole organization can essentially freeze up as employees wait for resolution.
The board leaks put CEO Andrew Mason in an extremely challenging position, one that will be hard for him to recover from. And the stock's reaction to the possibility of the CEO change (up) and news that there would apparently be no CEO change (down) won't help him.

|(since C++11)
template <class Compare>
void merge( list& other, Compare comp );
template <class Compare>
void merge( list&& other, Compare comp );
|(since C++11)
Merges two sorted lists into one. The lists should be sorted into ascending order.
No elements are copied. The container
other becomes empty after the operation. The function does nothing if
other refers to the same object as *this. If get_allocator() != other.get_allocator(), the behavior is undefined. No iterators or references become invalidated, except that the iterators of moved elements now refer into *this, not into
other. The first version uses operator< to compare the elements, the second version uses the given comparison function
This operation is stable: for equivalent elements in the two lists, the elements from
*this shall always precede the elements from
other, and the order of equivalent elements of
*this and
other does not change.
[edit] Parameters
|another container to merge
| comparison function object (i.e. an object that satisfies the requirements of Compare) which returns true if the first argument is less than (i.e. is ordered before) the second.
The signature of the comparison function should be equivalent to the following:
bool cmp(const Type1 &a, const Type2 &b);
While the signature does not need to have const &, the function must not modify the objects passed to it and must be able to accept all values of type (possibly const)
[edit] Return value
[edit] Exceptions
If an exception is thrown, this function has no effect (strong exception guarantee), except if the exception comes from the comparison function.
[edit] Complexity
at most std::distance(begin(), end()) + std::distance(other.begin(), other.end()) - 1 comparisons.
[edit] Example
#include <iostream> #include <list> std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& ostr, const std::list<int>& list) { for (auto &i : list) { ostr << " " << i; } return ostr; } int main() { std::list<int> list1 = { 5,9,0,1,3 }; std::list<int> list2 = { 8,7,2,6,4 }; list1.sort(); list2.sort(); std::cout << "list1: " << list1 << "\n"; std::cout << "list2: " << list2 << "\n"; list1.merge(list2); std::cout << "merged: " << list1 << "\n"; }

Hi all,
I've been approached by a Hospital to do their PAT testing. I have heard that conventional testers should not be used to test certain medical equipment as some tests could damage them. I know that the code of practice states:
1.2.1 Medical electrical equipment
Sensitive medical equipment, e.g., ECG, infusion pump, ultrasound machines, X-ray equipment etc., should only be inspected and tested by a competent person, with suitable experience, familiar with BS EN 62353. Equipment covered by and requiring inspection and testing in accordance with BS EN 62353 is outside the scope of this Code of Practice.
I am aware that there are medical equipment electrical safety testers on the market that obviously comply with BS EN 62353. So am I right in assuming that medical equipment is exempt from PAT testing and that organisations in charge of such medical equipment should ensure that it be routinely tested with a specialists testers? Any info on this would be appreciated!

By far, the most glamorous and magical of all the shows I attended at Boston Fashion Week. Luke Aaron started off with pretty and ended with ethereal. Pleated peplums, cinched waists and flattering muted florals in chiffon and tulle, the entire show was an ode to old-fashioned elegance without being stuffy. Gowns were draped into orgiami shapes (the collection was inspired by the arts of Japan) and pleated into flattering silhouettes. Adding to that was the debut of Aaron's Fleet Street bag, a well-structured and lady-like accessory.
Certainly, Luke Aaron is one to keep your "peacock eye" on.
Scroll down for more, including Jay Calderin, Founder of Boston Fashion Week with Boston darling Marilyn Riseman. Directors of Dynasty Modelling Agency, Joe and Gin Freeman were also in attendance.
A highlight for me was chatting with Marilyn, Jane Conway Caspe and Elisha Daniels before the show and I'm so flattered that they loved the way my hair was styled that night! (thanks to Sarah for the Instagram; and who's also caught in the last photo).

58,000 pounds of ground beef intended for school lunches recalled
Central Valley Meat Company is recalling more than 58,000 pounds of ground beef that was intended to be used in school lunches.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) said on Thursday that customer complaints of small plastic pieces in the meat lead to the Hanford, Calif. company's recall.
The products in question were sold in 40-lbs. cases containing 10-lb chubs of "Fine Ground Beef." They have the establishment number "Est. 6063A" inside the USDA Mark of Inspection and case codes of "6063A3091A" or "6063A3091B."
The products were produced on April 1, 2013, and shipped to distribution centers in Arkansas, California, Montana and Texas. They were to be used in the government-subsidized National School Lunch Program.
The government safety agency said it nor the company have received any reports of illnesses or injuries from consuming the ground beef.
If someone suspects that they have become sick from eating the meat in question, the FSIS said to contact a health care professional.
The Fresno Bee reported that the USDA had previously stopped purchasing meat from the company in August after an animal welfare organization released an undercover video of workers kicking and shocking cattle in order to slaughter them more efficiently.
The USDA resumed working with the company after the FSIS found no evidence that its actions lead to sick cattle in the food supply, adding that the Central Valley Meat Company had improved their treatment of animals.

Football is a dangerous, violent way to make a living. Players know that—now more than ever—and are willing to live with the risks. So don't try to water down what's best about the game
I got my only concussion as a pro in my first NFL start.
In the eighth week of the 2011 season, I was a rookie with a chance to step into the starting lineup at cornerback for a home game against the Bengals. For the first time, the defensive backfield consisted of Earl Thomas, Kam Chancellor, Brandon Browner and myself. I had played that season on special teams and in nickel, but didn't have an interception and only had three tackles. This was my opportunity to justify five years of hard work at Stanford, and to prove that I was so much more than a fifth-round pick.
On the game's seventh play, I trailed my receiver down the left sideline and looked back to see Andy Dalton toss it underneath to Chris Pressley, their 260-pound fullback. As he turned up the sideline I came down hard, squared up, and dove at his legs. His right knee connected with my temple, flipping him over my head. I got up quickly and shook my head back and forth to let them know nobody is running me over. The problem was that I couldn't see. The concussion blurred my vision and I played the next two quarters half-blind, but there was no way I was coming off the field with so much at stake. It paid off: Just as my head was clearing, Andy Dalton lobbed one up to rookie A.J. Green and I came down with my first career interception. The Legion of Boom was born.
That was the second and last time I've had a concussion, mainly because I don't make a habit of leading with my head. As a cornerback, I'm better served diving at the legs of ball-carriers bigger than me, and squaring up those who are my size. My older brother didn't have the same mentality. He played head-first, and would sometimes knock himself out making a hit. There are plenty of guys like that in our league, including my teammate Kam Chancellor, Titans safety Bernard Pollard and Redskins safety Brandon Meriweather, who said this week he believes it's his job to instill fear in the opponent. That mentality and those players are not the problem.
The NFL is the problem.
Now that there's so much public ire, the NFL is trying to punish guys and say, 'Hey look, we care.'
A NASCAR driver understands that anything can happen during a race; his car could flip at 200 miles per hour. A boxer knows when he goes in the ring what's happening to his body. Just like them, we understand this is a dangerous game with consequences not just in the short term, but for the rest of our lives. All of us NFL players, from wide receivers to defensive backs, chose this profession. Concussions are going to happen to cornerbacks who go low and lead with their shoulders, wide receivers who duck into contact, safeties who tackle high and linemen who run into somebody on every single play. Sometimes players get knocked out and their concussions make news, but more often it's a scenario like mine, where the player walks away from a hit and plays woozy or blind. Sometimes I can tell when a guy is concussed during a game—he can't remember things or he keeps asking the same questions over and over—but I'm not going to take his health into my hands and tell anybody, because playing with injuries is a risk that guys are willing to take. The players before us took that risk too, but they still sued the league because they felt like they were lied to about the long-term risks. Today, we're fully educating guys on the risks and we're still playing. We have not hidden from the facts.
That's why a lot of guys get frustrated with these fines and penalties, especially for the defenseless receiver rule. Nobody who chooses to play this sport should be described as defenseless. There's nothing we can do about it, unless you want us to just wait until these guys catch the ball and then let them come down and we tackle them. That's not going to happen. Now you have receivers going up to catch passes and players are hitting them with shoulder pads and guys like Chancellor and Meriweather are still getting fined. Those used to be highlight hits. Now that there's so much public ire, the NFL is trying to punish guys and say, Hey look, we care. It's not hurting anybody but the players by making the game more dangerous. Defensive players are used to playing fast, but now they're being forced to play with indecision, and indecision gets you hurt in this game.
That said, there are definitely safety measures that I understand and support. Quarterbacks obviously have to be protected from vulnerable situations and late hits—they're always a premium—but there are some penalties being called on legal plays where the quarterback is barely being touched and the penalties are affecting ball games, all because the NFL thinks preventing the highlight reel knockout is going to fix an image that doesn't even need fixing. People are always going to play football, and if higher income families choose to pull their kids out of the sport, it will only broaden the talent pool, giving underprivileged kids more opportunities to make college rosters. Most of the top guys in this league come from underprivileged situations anyway.
And that's not to say most of us chose football for money. I played at 5 years old because it was fun. You meet all of your friends, you learn about teamwork, camaraderie, discipline, following directions, how to time manage and how to rely on other people. Do I think about the consequences 30 years down the line? No more than I think about the food I'm enjoying today, which could be revealed in 30 years to cause cancer or a heart murmur or something else unpredictable. Those are the things you cant plan for, and the kind of optimism I have right now is the only way to live. And the next time I get hit in the head and I can't see straight, if I can, I'll get back up and pretend like nothing happened. Maybe I'll even get another pick in the process.
If you don't like it, stop watching.

Whether or not chocolate is actually a food group (as many of us tend to believe), sampling it is undeniably one of life�s pleasures. And what better way to enjoy this particular pleasure than to help those in need at the same time?
Well, this will be possible on Saturday at Holly Hill Mall.
Yes, it�s that time again � Christmas Cheer�s Fourth Annual �Cheers for Chocolate� extravaganza. The festivities will begin at 11 a.m. and continue until 3:00 p.m. There will be entertainment � Centre of Performing Arts, Xtreme Dance Academy, Lee Brothers, KARIZMA � and special events such as a Silent Auction, Decadent Dessert Contest, a Bake Sale of Contest entries and a �Men Can Cook Chocolate!� contest.
Of course, there will be chocolate galore, in all sorts of tempting tidbits. $5 and $10 tickets will be available and with each purchase you can obtain a container. Then all you have to do is wander among tables displaying samples of chocolate in its many delicious forms. A punch on the border of your ticket and voila! a sample is yours! Eat it at once, or place it in your container to save for later. Logically, a $10 ticket will garner you twice as many samples as $5 will. And if you�re made of sterner stuff than I am, you might even have some left to take home with you.
Willie Wonka will be there, too! Chances are very good that you�ll encounter him as you make your way among the tables.
All these taste treats will be provided by local businesses and organizations, with the proceeds going to Christmas Cheer, an organization which, for over 80 years has been providing food and warm clothing for those in need, as well as school supplies and toys for children.
Personally, I can�t think of a better or more worthy way to spend a few hours, and my mouth is already watering!

Christmas Crafts for Kids: Shoebox Diorama with Peephole
A shoebox diorama is a great budget craft project to keep children busy during the holidays. To make the diorama, use images from old Christmas cards. You'll end up with a charming decoration that family and friends will enjoy when they peek through the peephole to view a wintry 3-D scene.
1Gather your materials.
You'll need a shoebox with lid; 6 sheets of thin white cardboard or thick white paper, scissors; white school glue; sharp craft knife; cutting mat; 1 sheet of tracing paper or tissue paper (the kind used in gift wrapping); lots of old holiday greeting cards.
Do the cutting for small children. Craft knives are extremely sharp.
2Optional: Paint the outside of the box and lid with the color of your choice and allow to dry.
Paint the box for a nice, finished effect if you want to display it for guests to enjoy.
3Line the inside of the shoebox with thin white cardboard.
Cut sheets to fit each of the five inner faces of the box. Measure out the pieces by drawing around the box; then cut out the pieces and glue in place.
4Use the craft knife to cut a 1-inch-square hole in one short end of the box.
The hole should be about an inch from the bottom of the box. This forms the peephole.
5Cut a large hole in the lid.
Make the cuts 1-inch from the edge, all the way around.
6Cut your tracing paper so that it fits under the lid and covers the hole; glue into place.
Now you have a "skylight" that lets in light in while blocking out distractions.
7Choose your images and carefully cut out the pieces.
Just as in real life, things that are far away appear smaller than closer objects, so place the smaller cut-outs in the back, furthest from the peephole.
Help smaller children sort their cards so that small-scale images are at one end of their heap of cards and large-scale images are at the other.
8Cut out triangle shapes from thin cardboard, and glue a stand to the back of each character.
You don't need special cardboard for the stand; just use the backs of old greeting cards or a section without decoration that you need for the winter scene.
9Arrange the cut-outs inside the box, and glue in place.
Before you glue everything down, look through the peephole to make sure the scene looks good. After you're happy with their placement, glue the characters down and let the glue dry.
Your project is done. Put the lid on the box and shine a light on the tracing paper. Look through the peephole to see a wonderful winter scene.

History of Italian Weddings of Various Cultures
It is usually interesting to review a brief history of weddings of various cultures. One will discover that a few of the old traditions happen to be transported forward to the present weddings.
In Italia, even today marriages aren't performed during Given and Advent in May or August. Sunday was declared the very best day for that marriage and June was (and it is) considered the perfect month to marry. This is dependant on the Roman goddess Junio, representing safety of home, marriage, and giving birth.
In certain families the marriages were arranged through the groups of the wedding couple. Men relative from the groom would visit using the father from the intended bride and request her hands in marriage. A matchmaker was utilized to hold a note towards the intended bride's family. Once a contract between your families was arrived at, the pair was declared engaged. The mark bride was likely to immediately start gathering clothing (for her husband to be), furniture, along with other products for that home. This grew to become referred to as bride's 'trousseau'. When the diamond engagement ring contained gold it wasn't to become worn until she received the gold wedding ring because it was viewed as misfortune to put on gold without having to be married.
In olden occasions a lot of an italian man , wedding traditions contained preventing evil spirits. Your daughter's groom would make sure to have something iron on his person to arrive at agreeable evil eye. The marriage veil was with regards to preventing evil spirits they might attempt to attack the bride to be and tearing the veil following the ceremony was considered best of luck. The bride to be was to not have an entire wedding dress before the big day. It had been to stay incomplete until she walked lower the church aisle. Presumably your final stitch is made somewhere around the dress in the entrance from the church. Your daughter's groom would wait in front from the church and offer the bride to be with a flower arrangement and herbs, to arrive at agreeable evil spirits.
At other occasions your daughter's groom would select the bride up and walk her towards the church. Within this situation a log along with a saw could be put into their path plus they needed to first viewed it into two pieces to exhibit their union. When the bride walked towards the church, with no groom, the neighborhood people frequently put things in her own path like a broom, beggar, crying baby. How she handled these products demonstrated if she will be a good wife, mother, could be kind, etc.
Within the ceremony your daughter's groom was right from the bride, thus freeing his sword hands, just in situation someone attempted to steal his bride-to-be. Ten witnesses were needed to help make the ceremony official hence the requirement for a sizable wedding party. These were outfitted such as the wedding couple to confuse the jealous spirits. The bride to be transported (but still does in many weddings) a satin or silk purse for visitors to deposit their cash gifts in in an effort to assist with the price. One other way money was elevated was through the best man cutting the groom's tie into pieces and selling these to visitors in the wedding.
Following a ceremony the wedding couple were pelted with almonds (in mesh bags), three for kids and 5 to 7 to advertise fertility. In ancient occasions some bread was damaged within the bride's mind to represent fertility. In the finish from the wedding the wedding couple broke a vase or glass into pieces with the amount of shards representing the number of years they'd be married. Moms-in-law sitting in a table and stored an eye on the repayment of favors or money which must be observed (this really is still completed in a number of today's events)
The majority of the events began with mass early in the day, adopted by music and dancing at night time. Food was, and it is, most from the wedding. 13 or even more courses were ordinarily offered (a sizable meal continues to be offered at today's weddings) this symbolized the union from the couple as well as their families.
It's amazing the number of wedding traditions still remain while they might have evolved somewhat to mirror today's society. Incorporating traditions according to heritage is frequently a great way to recognition that old while celebrating the brand new.

DANVILLE, Ky.--A three-run home run in the sixth inning by Millsaps helped the fifth-seeded Majors upset the third-seeded Birmingham-Southern softball team, 3-1, Saturday afternoon in the Southern Athletic Association Softball Championship, hosted by Centre College in Danville, Ky.
The home run from Kaitlyn Dole broke a scoreless tie in the bottom of the sixth. The Panthers (26-17) were able to score one run in the top of the seventh, but no more than that, allowing the Majors (23-19) to notch their third straight upset of the tournament so far. Millsaps defeated fourth-seed Centre and top-seeded Berry yesterday.
Sophomore pitcher Bethany Fronk threw yet another complete game today, giving up six hits with five strikeouts in six innings. She has thrown 26 innings over the last 36 hours.
The Panthers were supposed to face off against Berry this evening at 8 p.m. Eastern, but the game was postponed due to rain and will be played Sunday at noon.

Tim Tebow has big plans for 666th 'Monday Night Football' game
"This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666."
-- Revelation 13:18, English Standard Bible
And so it was that on the morn of the 666th Monday Night Football game in the course of mankind, Timothy Richard Tebow noticed this numerical oddity and took to the mount to declare his righteousness against the mark of the beast.
On the second Monday of October, Tebow took a respite from reading his papyrus playbook to declare his intentions for the eve. He thusly wrote on Twitter, "looking forward to giving God all the glory in tonight's 666th Monday Night Football game. Romans 8:37-39."
I'm down with Tebow's religious beliefs and appreciate that he uses his forum to promote them, but I'm not sure what he was going for here. Does playing in a game number that's identical to the mark of the beast worry him? Or is anything with the number 666 a good way to promote his faith?
Jets fans bail: MNF tickets cheaper than parking passes
The Bible verse Tebow references in the tweet says: "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God."
Tebow mentions MNF's 666th game, generally implying that it's tainted by the affiliation with the second beast of Revelation. Then he quotes a passage on how nothing can come between love. If my exegesis is correct (and I did get a C+ in freshman year Bible study at Wake Forest), Tebow's tweet unintentionally reads like a roundabout diss of Howard Cosell and Jon Gruden.
More NFL: Wayne violates NFL policy for ill coach
Now that he plays for the Jets, we're sure it's also completely accidental that the Bible verse right before Romans 8:37-39 has to do with sheeps being led to the slaughter.
Note: Other Bible translation use equivalent Gettysburg Address style for the mark of the beast. In the King James Version, for instance, "666" is written "six hundred threescore and six." Since the Jets rarely score three times, we thought it'd be mean to include this.

Lochinvar Expands Power-Fin Line
Lochinvar Expands Power-Fin Line
Time-tested and cutting edge. It is hard to be both at the same time. Lochinvar makes it happen with a bold new expansion of the
line. The first
boiler rolled off the assembly line nearly 20 years ago. Today, it is a tried-and-true champion of efficiency and reliability. The new models are also on the leading edge of technology and innovation. The
is now more flexible and easier to install. These new boilers offer an input capacity from 500,000 to 1,300,000 Btu/hr—but require just 4.6 sq. ft. of floor space. They also require zero clearance on each side to ensure a truly minimal footprint. Only
can offer such a powerful performance from a boiler so compact. The
is available in two firing configurations: On/Off or Full Modulation. The On/Off model is ideal for replacement or retrofit applications where an existing Category I vent is already installed. The Full Modulation model provides maximum energy efficiency. It reduces heat output in 1% increments as demand drops, which optimizes fuel use. These units have a 4:1 turndown, meaning their peak output is four times as high as the minimum stable firing rate.
With an 87% thermal efficiency rating, 87¢ out of every fuel dollar goes into heating water. This dramatically reduces operating costs and ensures clean combustion. Furthermore, the sealed combustion design guarantees fuel dollars are spent heating the water, not the mechanical room.
At the center of the
combustion chamber is a unique ceramic burner that allows for perfectly even gas and air distribution. This results in NOx emissions of less than 30 ppm—far exceeding even the most stringent air quality standards.
The heart of the
is the vertical-mounted gasketless copper tube heat exchanger with exactly seven fins per inch. This unique design has a heat transfer ratio nine times greater than ordinary copper tubing. Furthermore, the high-grade cast iron headers require no gaskets or O-rings, virtually eliminating cracks and leaks.
To ensure failsafe operation, a digital control panel with advanced diagnostic features comes standard on every
boiler. The control panel is accurate to +/- 1? F, and LED indicators provide information on boiler operation and status. All major functions of the boiler are automatically checked and controlled; the control panel not only warns against failures but also helps pinpoint the source of any problem. Plus, the large digital display is easy to read, and setup is a snap.
With the Lochinvar Harmony Sequencer, the flexibility of the
with optional modulation becomes limitless. The Harmony ties multiple Lochinvar boilers together into a single heating system with maximum versatility. Since the Sequencer automatically determines which boiler to fire, when, and for how long, the turndown ratio increases exponentially with each new boiler added to the system. Harmony technology also minimizes unnecessary staging and ensures equal usage of the boilers within the system. This, in turn, optimizes energy efficiency and equipment lifespan (MP2 is used when the
is ordered with on/off controls).

Sometimes one wonders if it is not necessarily better to have rallied and lost than to have ever rallied at all.
The matchup between Roy Halladay and Chien-Ming Wang lived up to it's billing last night as the two pitchers entered the seventh inning locked in a 0-0 tie. The Yankees managed to put five men on base over the first six innings, but Johnny Damon's infield single to start the game was erased by a rare caught stealing by Gregg Zaun, rendering Derek Jeter's subsequent double harmless, and Jeter, who was pushed to third by a Bobby Abreu groundout, was stranded when Alex Rodriguez flew out to deep center. Hideki Matsui reached on an error to start the second, but was quickly erased by a double play off the bat of Posada. In the fifth, Posada singled and moved to third on a Robinson Cano double, but, with one out, Doug Mientkiewicz hit a foul pop over the tarp in short right field. Posada, thinking Blue Jay first baseman Matt Stairs was going to make the catch, tagged up and broke for home on the play, only to be gunned out by second baseman Aaron Hill, who reached over Stairs to make the catch. Posada was out by at least ten feet.
Wang only allowed four runners over those first six frames. Hill led off the second with a double into the left field corner and went to third when Damon bobbled the carom, but Wang got Russ Adams to pop out behind the plate, Zaun to ground out to third, freezing Hill, and Adam Lind to ground out to first to strand Hill. His other three runners all reached first with one out, moved to second on groundouts, and were promptly stranded.
The Blue Jays finally broke the tie in the seventh when Hill and Adams lead off with a pair of singles and Hill, who moved to third on Adams base knock, scored on a groundout by Zaun. Lind then singled to right and Adams, who had moved to second on Zaun's grounder, was sent home. Bobby Abreu fired a one-hop strike to Jorge Posada that easily beat Adams, but Posada didn't glove it cleanly and, when the dust cleared, the ball was on the ground behind Jorge and Adams was safe with the second Blue Jay run. Wang got a double play from ninth-place hitter Rey Olmedo to end the inning, but that would end his night after one hundred pitches (67 strikes, 14 of his 21 outs coming on the ground and four others by strikeout).
The Jays added a pair of insurance runs in the eighth against Edwar Ramirez when Ramirez hit Reed Johnson with his second pitch to start the frame, then, after getting Stairs to groundout, gave up a two-run homer to Alex Rios. Ramirez has now allowed six homers in 18 2/3 major league innings, an alarming rate of 2.9 HR/9IP. He has also hit three batters and uncorked three wild pitches. Over his last four appearances, Ramirez has allowed four runs and eight baserunners in 2 1/3 innings.
Halladay, meanwhile, just kept on cruising, pitching around an Alex Rodriguez single in the seventh and entering the ninth inning having thrown just 90 pitches, 68 of them (an astonishing 76 percent) for strikes. Johnny Damon led of the ninth with a double to left. After Jeter grounded out to short, holding Damon at second, Abreu singled Damon to third. Rodriguez followed with another single to erase the shutout and push Abreu to second. With Hideki Matsui coming up as the tying run and lefty Scott Downs warm in the bullpen, Toronto manager John Gibbons came to the mound to talk things over with his ace, but returned to the dugout without making a change. It was the right call, as Halladay got both Matsui and Jorge Posada to ground to second.
But wait! Aaron Hill's throw to defensive replacement Lyle Overbay on what should have been the game-ending groundout by Posada bounced in the dirt and, as Overbay juggled the scoop, Posada crossed the bag safe, allowing Abreu to score and Rodriguez to move to third. With the score now 4-2 and Halladay at 110 pitches, Gibbons called on Downs to face Robinson Cano and Jason Giambi (who had hit for Mientkiewicz in the eighth only to strike out looking on three pitches from Halladay). With Bronson Sardinha running for Posada representing the tying run, Robinson Cano pushed a broken bat grounder past Hill for an RBI single that sent Sardinha to third. Giambi then flared a single to left to bring Sardinha home and tie the game at 4-4 as Halladay sat staring from the dugout with a look that recalled Jack Nicholson at the end of The Shining.
Unfortunately, that was the last run the Yankees would manage. Mariano Rivera, Joba Chamberlain (who struck out four in two innings with his father in attendence), and Luis Vizcaino got the game into the 14th inning, but the Yankees were unable to break through. They came closest against rookie Brian Wolfe in the 13th when Jeter led off with a single, but Bobby Abreu replaced him on the bases via a fielder's choice, and Alex Rodriguez missed his pitch, hitting a mile-high pop-up to short. Lefty Joe Kennedy then came in to face Matsui and walked him, but with Posada out of the game and no third catcher on the roster due to the 40-man roster spaces doled out to Juan Miranda and Andrew Brackman, Jose Molina was forced to hit and struck out on three pitches. Brian Bruney came on in the 14th (Kyle Farnsworth was unavailable with a tight shoulder) and struck out the side, but he gave up a solo homer to Gregg Zaun in the middle of it and Kennedy and Jason Frasor sealed the 5-4 win in the bottom of the inning, striking out pinch-hitter Wilson Betemit to end the game, which was only two minutes longer than last Friday's nine-inning affair in Boston.
In Tampa, Josh Beckett out-dueled Scott Kazmir and the Rays' bullpen coughed up a wad of insurance runs, so the Yanks are 2.5 out in the East once again. The Tigers staged a mid-game comeback to beat the Royals, and the Mets survived a long rain delay, some late-inning runs by the Marlins, and a minor injury to Carlos Beltran to keep pace with the Phillies, who also won.
Today, Phil Hughes moves up in the rotation, due to Ian Kennedy's tight back (he says he feels fine) and Roger Clemens tweaky hamstring, to face Shawn Marcum. Because the Yankees were in a six-man rotation and had an off-day on Thursday both Hughes and Mike Mussina, who moves up to tomorrow's game, will be on regular rest. Hughes has a 2.55 ERA over his last three starts, including a solid six innings against the Blue Jays in Toronto (3 H, 2 R/1 ER), but his walks are up and his strikeouts are down, and he's still getting too many of his outs in the air. Marcum, meanwhile, has a 7.94 ERA over his last six starts, including allowing eight runs in 4 1/3 innings while facing Hughes in Toronto last week. Marcum has given up seven homers in those last six starts, including shots by Posada and Giambi, both of whom are in the lineup again today. Damon is the odd man out. Meanwhile, Jose Veras and Ron Villone also worked out of the pen last night (both were perfect). Farnsworth is still unavailable. Joba's out per the rules, and I'm sure Torre would prefer to stay away from Vizcaino, who threw 24 pitches in his one inning. Ross Ohlendorf was warming behind Bruney in the 14th last night. He may see some action this afternoon.
