NEW YORK (AP) — A federal appeals court panel forced a Justice Department lawyer into an awkward position Thursday, making him explain the government's decision to abandon defending the Defense of Marriage Act as judges decide the fate of a law destined for the U.S. Supreme Court.
"In my day, when you won, you didn't appeal," a smiling Chief Judge Dennis Jacobs of the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals told Acting Assistant Attorney General Stuart Delery after Delery rose from his seat near lawyers defending the law even as he seemed to speak out against it.
Later, Judge Chester Straub demanded to know why the government quit defending the constitutionality of a 1996 law that defines marriage as involving a man and a woman after having spoken in favor of it for nearly 15 years.
Delery said the switch came in early 2011 at the direction of President Barack Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder after the administration reviewed the law and concluded that it deserved a stricter view of what constituted discrimination than the legal reasoning that had previously been applied.
Months from now, the 2nd Circuit is expected to rule whether Manhattan Judge Barbara Jones was right when she found the law unconstitutional in June, just like several other federal judges and a federal appeals court in Boston have done.
Repeatedly, Delery spoke about discrimination in America against people over their sexual choices.
"Gay and lesbian people have been subjected to a long history of discrimination that continues to this day," he said.
He called the expression of sexual orientation "an integral part of human freedom."
Yet, he added: "It's still the case that the rights of gays and lesbians usually lose when put up for a vote."
He said it was "crystal clear" that passage of the law was "motivated in significant part by disapproval of gay and lesbian people."
Straub responded with a snap: "Did you tell that to Congress in 1996, what you just now told us?"
Delery said some letters may have been sent to some representatives at the time.
"What is it that changed your view?" Straub demanded before Delery explained the February 2011 switch by Obama and Holder.
Jones ruled that the law intrudes upon the states' regulation of domestic relations. Her decision came after Edith Windsor sued the government in November 2010 because she was told to pay $363,053 in federal estate tax after her partner of 44 years, Thea Spyer, died in 2009. They had married in Canada in 2007.
The law, which denies federal recognition of same-sex marriages and affirms the right of states to refuse to recognize such marriages, was passed by Congress and signed by President Bill Clinton after it appeared in 1993 that Hawaii might legalize gay marriage. Since then, many states have banned gay marriage but several have approved it, including Massachusetts and New York. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said last week she believes the Defense of Marriage Act will reach the Supreme Court within the next year.
Lawyer Paul Clement, speaking on behalf of the Bipartisan Legal Advisory Group of the House of Representatives, which is defending the law, told the appeals court that the Defense of Marriage Act was consistent with the intention of Congress to continue "preserving programs the way they've always been — not opening these programs to others."
He said the desire to save the government money was a rational basis for the law as well, though "you can't go about that rational basis in an irrational way."
As an example, he said the government cannot deny benefits to blue-eyed people.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — The U.S. State Department has confirmed that six American men who were aboard a ship have been detained in Honduras since May 5.
The department said Friday that the U.S. Embassy in Tegucigalpa has been closely monitoring the case of the captain and crew of the Aqua Quest. It said U.S. consular officials visited the crew on May 19.
A press release posted on Aqua Quest's Facebook page says Capt. Robert Mayne and five members of his crew were detained in Puerto Lempira, Honduras.
It says the team arrived there to work on a project to aid "the struggling peoples" in the Municipality of Ahuas.
It added the men were ordered detained for firearms violations "on the false claim that a weapon they were carrying was an AK-47."

Indiana lawmakers could provide an additional $4 million for victims of last summer's stage collapse at the state fair.
House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jeff Espich, R-Uniondale, said Monday he plans to introduce legislation for fair victims by the end of the week or early next week.
Espich has not settled on a final amount, but said $4.2 million would pay for medical costs not already covered by the $5 million already paid out by the state and give each family of those who died an additional $400,000. The additional money would help make victims and their families "financially whole" again, he said, but would not be enough to compensate for every loss.
"There is no right or wrong answer on these things," Espich said. He plans on adding the money to a broader spending bill that could include funding for full-day kindergarten and restore some cuts in education spending.
Gov. Mitch Daniels included a one-time payout for fair victims in his 2012 legislative agenda but said he wants to hear from lawmakers before deciding on a specific amount.
Seven people died and 58 others were injured in August when stage rigging collapsed at the fair before a scheduled performance by the country duo Sugarland. International engineering firm Thornton Tomasetti is conducting an investigation of the rigging and national emergency planning advisers Witt Associates are reviewing the state's emergency plans and its response to the collapse.
Attorney General Greg Zoeller and Kenneth Feinberg, a victims' claims expert who crafted formulas for compensating victims of tragedies ranging from the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks to the Virginia Tech shootings, developed a plan that covered two-thirds of medical costs for most of the people who survived the collapse. It also paid out at least $300,000 to each of the families of the deceased.
Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Luke Kenley, R-Noblesville, said he has not had a chance to review any state fair proposals yet, but Espich's idea sounds logical.
Rep. Ed DeLaney, D-Indianapolis, introduced legislation to raise the state's total liability to $22 million and increase the individual maximum payout to $1.3 million. He came up with the amount using cost-of-living adjustments since the $5 million cap was set in 1974. He has not been able to get a hearing for his legislation yet.
DeLaney said the response he has received from constituents supporting his measure is: "'Why don't we just fess up and pay a fair amount?'"

The University of Wisconsin-Madison stellarator, one of only two stellarators operating in the United States, has received a substantial grant from the U.S. Department of Energy, totaling $5.1 million over three years.
Now in its ninth year of generating plasma, the Helically Symmetric eXperiment, or HSX, is in its prime, says Electrical and Computer Engineering Professor David Anderson. HSX's one-of-a-kind shape makes it a unique tool to explore key challenges to fusion energy, and members of the HSX team also are helping guide the future of stellarator research by leading a study to explore next steps for the field.
The most prevalent and well-developed fusion-research device is called a tokamak, which is shaped like a donut. When current is driven in the plasma the long way around the donut, it produces magnetic fields that contain plasma, an ionized form of gas.
A stellarator is like a twisted donut that uses the physical shape of coils, rather than current within the plasma, to generate magnetic fields. A stellerator's three-dimensional magnetic fields theoretically can confine plasma indefinitely because they aren't constrained by a transformer or the high-current instabilities that plague tokamaks. These properties mean stellarators are widely viewed as the main alternative to tokamaks for fusion reactors, Anderson says.
Despite the benefits of a stellarator, particles leak out faster than in a tokomak, which— unlike a stellarator—has a direction of symmetry in its magnetic fields. This is where HSX's special design comes in: Outside the stainless steel vacuum vessel is a set of twisted copper coils that form a specially shaped magnetic "bottle" that restores a direction of symmetry to the magnetic field, improving confinement.
"HSX mimics the good confinement of a tokomak with the engineering advantages of a stellarator. It's the only device in the world testing this property," says Anderson.
The HSX team is composed of around 15 core faculty members, scientists and students. Research on the device ranges from plasma transport using modulated heating experiments to magnetic field reconstruction and turbulence studies via probes. Graduate students are constructing a beam line that is expected to double the device's heating capacity and are collaborating with Oak Ridge National Laboratory to develop software codes for HSX. Additionally, the HSX team has a close research relationship with the TJ-II stellarator in Spain.
Chris Clark is an electrical and computer engineering PhD student working on an experiment to measure HSX's impurity confinement properties. The plasma created in HSX is composed of a hydrogen isotope, and any other type of ion that gets into the plasma is considered an impurity that dilutes the fuel and radiates away energy. Impurities are hard to prevent; when hydrogen fuses, helium ions result. Additionally, ions from the wall of the vacuum vessel can also sneak into the plasma. "Impurity transport is something that has to be controlled, and all fusion devices have to consider this," Clark says.
Clark is building a system to track and measure impurity radiation. He will place a vapor-deposed layer of aluminum on a glass slide and then vaporize the metal with a high-energy laser, causing the particles to fly into the plasma. Via an array of soft x-ray detectors, Clark will measure the amount of power radiated in the plasma—a level the impurity will increase— and reconstruct changes in that radiation to track how quick the impurity ions move through the plasma.
In addition to overseeing the wide variety of HSX projects, Anderson also is part of a team led by Engineering Physics Professor Chris Hegna to explore the future of stellarator research. The proposal, titled "Targeted optimization of quasi-symmetric stellarators," has received an approximately $900,000, three-year grant from the U.S. Department of Energy.
The UW-Madison proposal is distinct from previous studies because it is not a design study. "The immediate goal isn't to build a particular type of experiment," Hegna says. "This is a paper study on ways to optimize stellarators beyond where we are now. Essentially, we're enfranchised to do some deeper thinking about where we might go from here based on the knowledge we have at the moment."
In the last few years, the plasma research community has held panels to explore the future of tokomak-alternative devices, and the UW-Madison proposal is a response to several issues raised in those reviews, including improvements in ion confinement and impurity transport.
Hegna and Anderson anticipate the study will become an international discussion. They plan to collaborate with colleagues at Germany's Wendelstein 7-X stellarator, Japan's Large Helical Device, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and Princeton University. "We're hoping to bring the pieces together and focus all of this expertise onto these particular issues," says Hegna.
While the next-step proposal is separate from HSX, Hegna says the plasma physics community has learned a great deal from the device. "There are elements of HSX that are essential to something like this," Anderson says. "Part of the new study is to look at questions that yet need to be answered and what a follow-on device would need.
"If certain questions are answered and the HSX concept is pursued, it could become part of a fusion reactor," he says.

Mark Sanchez may have fumbled on Sunday, but he isn't fumbling in his personal life, reports the New York Post:
He's also been keeping time with curvaceous beauty Kate Upton.
Sanchez has been paying frequent late-night visits to the Victoria's Secret and Sports Illustrated swimsuit model's Flatiron apartment, we're told. He's been spotted several times at the voluptuous blonde's pad since November, usually after games or before practices—sometimes as late as midnight—rolling up in his black chauffeur-driven Navigator.
The mediocre blocking of Wayne Hunter has put Sanchez on his ass pretty often in the games, but he apparently gets to be on a pretty ass the rest of the week, so we shouldn't feel that bad for him.
People who observe the Jets frequently would tell you that Sanchez often aims too high for his receivers, but with the ladies he aims high and scores!
"Upton?" He better hope the Jets get up ten this weekend before he starts throwing picks!

Understanding Orthognathic Anatomy and Problems
A jaw that's too small, too large, or crooked can cause problems with chewing, speaking, breathing, and even sleeping. The shape of your jaws also affects the way your face looks. This sheet helps you understand how the teeth and jaws work. It also describes common jaw problems that may need treatment.
How Bones and Teeth Shape the Face
Bones are the framework for the face. The size and position of facial bones determine how well the teeth fit together. Together, the positions of the jaws and teeth affect chewing, speaking, and the working of the jaw joint. The jaws also hold and support soft tissues, such as the muscles, lips, and tongue. And of course the jaws and teeth are factors in the face's shape and appearance.
How the Jaws Work
The lower jaw holds the tongue, which moves freely as you speak and eat. The upper jaw shapes the floor of the nasal cavity, allowing normal airflow. Normally, muscles are evenly developed on both sides of the face.
Common Problems
Some common jaw alignment problems are described below. It's also common to have a combination of these problems.
Lower jaw too far back: When the lower jaw is too far back (retrognathia), biting can be difficult. The chin appears weak or receding.
Lower jaw too far forward: A lower jaw that is too far forward (prognathia) causes the chin to protrude. Lower teeth may jut outward to overlap the upper teeth.
Open bite (teeth don't meet): An open bite is often due to a long upper jaw. This can cause a "gummy smile." Or the problem may be that the rear of the lower jaw is too short. An open bite can make it impossible to close the lips.
Asymmetry (jaws are uneven): Uneven jaws are larger or smaller on one side than on the other. Or one side may be too far forward or back. The face may look off-center or crooked.
When Jaws Are Not Aligned
Poorly aligned jaws can result in a variety of problems, including:
Chewing problems: You may find it difficult to bite into a sandwich or an apple, or difficult to keep food in your mouth as you chew. The TMJs may be stiff or painful.
Speech problems: It may be difficult to make certain sounds or to speak clearly.
Breathing problems: If the airway is narrow or blocked, breathing may be noisy or difficult. You may have sleep apnea (breathing that stops during sleep).
Problems with appearance: You may be unhappy with the way you look. This can make you self-conscious and may affect your confidence.

By Heather Ford ACCRA, Ghana, 01 March 2005
Creative Commons could be a very useful initiative in West Africa, but there are a number of challenges that need to be taken into consideration before we will see any significant African participation in the global movement. This was the general consensus of participants at a workshop held by the APC in collaboration with the Kofi Annan Centre of Excellence in ICT in Accra, Ghana at the beginning of February.
The event was organized in parallel to the African regional preparatory conference of the World Summit on the Information Society and drew participants out of 'big picture' policy discussions to talk about a practical tool for the digital commons that is being adopted by countries around the world.
Today, over 4.5 million works have been licenced as free to copy, share and distribute under the Creative Commons banner – including educational material, material developed out of public or donor funds as well as countless audio tracks, films and photographs.
Creative Commons, led by internet legal guru Lawrence Lessig, was launched in 2001 as a response to the growing need for an alternative to copyright in the United States. Inspired by the free and open source software movement that was using copyright law to carve out certain 'public' uses of privately-owned knowledge, Creative Commons developed a set of user-friendly licenses which would enable creators to share their work under conditions set by their author. By tagging works as free to copy and share, Creative Commons also established a means for artists to draw inspiration from a fast-growing repository of free culture.
Countries like Brazil have made significant contributions to the Creative Commons movement. Driven by a strong collaboration between the government, civil society and legal sectors, Creative Commons in Brazil has developed a new CC licence that enables authors and artists to 'remix' creative works, and has inspired a set of revolutionary 'commons' policies on intellectual property rights for public innovation, software development and education.
But many developing countries – especially those in Africa – have yet to fully embrace the open content concept. This is because of a number of factors – most importantly Africans' general distrust of 'giving away' information when indigenous knowledge is being regularly 'stolen' by people outside of the community.
But according to Guido Sohne, who is trying to drum up local support for a Creative Commons Ghana initiative, Creative Commons licences enable community artists, authors and creators to gain access to foreign markets by raising awareness of their work and their identity on the internet.
APC project manager, Heather Ford, said that there are a number of gains to be made by the use of Creative Commons licences, especially when the licence is used within an open space that encourages collaboration and transparency. An educational portal that enables the local community to share and improve lesson plans, for example, ensures that the government can spend less on purchasing educational resources. The quality of the content also improves as more and more people contribute towards its successful re-use.
Dorothy Gordon, Director of the Kofi Annan Centre, concluded that Creative Commons was an exciting initiative for West Africa, but one which would have to be developed in a way that addressed all elements of the digital publishing process: the people, the communities, the infrastructure, the access, as well as the capacity to create and share knowledge. Only then will we see any significant ownership by local communities to a free and open African knowledge commons.

Both Sides Now: Live At The Isle Of Wight Festival 1970
A small island off the coast of England, Isle of Wight began hosting music festivals in 1968. The festival's third installment took place in 1970 and it was the largest, with an estimated crowd of 600-700K.
But the counterculture audience had turned, becoming openly hostile toward the performers. A new documentary, "Both Sides Now: Live at the Isle of Wight Festival 1970," by the late Murray Lerner (who unfortunately passed away after production), looks at Joni Mitchell's set as a sort of case study on how things seemed to go awry only one year after Woodstock. New interviews with Mitchell punctuate beautifully restored footage from the concert.
"It was a 'hate the performer' festival," Mitchell confides early on in the film. The reason? Many of the artists were paid large amounts of money to perform, arriving on site in fancy and expensive vehicles. This only fed into audience frustrations over the festival selling out, both literally and figuratively, and erecting fences to keep out attendees who had not purchased tickets. Common feelings were centered on perceived inequity: The music isn't "free" anymore, the artists are taking all the dough you'll offer up, and hippy integrity was dead. As one angry, ticketless bystander camped up on a hill overlooking the concert, declared, "The music itself isn't revolutionary... it's big business."
Beginning her set, Mitchell strolls out onstage, smiling incredulously, looking out at the massive crowd, playfully stating, "It looks like the making of 'Ben Hur!'" and then launching into her set opener, "That Song About the Midway." But through the first four songs, Mitchell is subjected to hoots, hollers, jeers, and interruptions that visibly take a toll.
Mitchell admits that, as "an acoustic act" performing with just acoustic guitar and piano, the festival was more suited to rock bands like The Who (also part of the 1970 lineup). Consequently, she approached her set "with dread." When the audience becomes more impetuous, Mitchell puts down the guitar and moves to the piano for the third song. As the piano is situated slightly further away from the audience, one can't help but wonder if this was a protective move. In addition to the verbal taunts, one man trips out on acid; shortly after that, another man finds his way onstage to "make an announcement." Both incidents temporarily halt Mitchell's performance. Her distress becomes increasingly evident.
Mitchell attempts to quell her "dread" and politely reign in the unruly audience - smiling and introducing each song, trying to teach the audience the chorus of "Woodstock," gently asking them to "give her a little help" and stop with the distractions. While playing through the opening bars of "My Old Man," Mitchell cannot hide her frustration, stopping the song and ripping into the audience for a few minutes - "Listen a minute, will you?!" - and ending the very-necessary scolding with a demand to "Give us some respect!" Mitchell acknowledges the mixed emotions she felt in that moment - indignation, frustration, and embarrassment for those disrupting the concert - but adds that she could tell the audience softened after her "little speech." And so they did, quickly becoming appreciative, engaged and eventually rapt by her performance. When an encore was requested, Mitchell admits, "I was beaming." That's quite a turnaround in the course of 11 songs.
The documentary also uses new interview footage to pick Mitchell's brain on topics such as "What is music?," the processes of writing songs, the evolution of her untrained musicianship to encompass her interests in jazz, and connecting with the audience. Mitchell explains her feeling that she differs from artists who thrive on applause after every song. In contrast, she would rather have the audience treat her performances "like a play," enjoy the music and applaud at the end if you appreciate her work. Obviously, she was received much differently at the Isle of Wight festival.
The only special feature on the Blu-ray edition is Mitchell's full set from the festival, an impeccably beautiful performance. While the film explores the death of a counterculture movement audiences had so heavily invested in, it is also a testament to why Mitchell is one of the most significant artists to emerge from the 1960s. In the year immediately following this show, Mitchell's aesthetic would dramatically shift with the release of her stunning fourth album "Blue," prompting the musical innovations for which she is most often celebrated.

Every year I
compile a list of minor league all-stars represented by players who previously
have attended a Perfect Game showcase or tournament event.
Last year's
list included Jeremy Hellickson (who is again listed this year, his third year
in a row), Jason Heyward, Buster Posey, Madison Bumgarner, Travis Wood and Sean
Rodriguez, all of whom have made significant contributions to playoff aspiring
big-league ballclubs this year.
The Tigers
may not be competing for the playoffs, at least they haven't been for several
months, but Austin Jackson has performed very well since being handed the
everyday job in CF to open this season.
As part of a three-team trade last offseason, Jackson was essentially
swapped for Curtis Granderson, now with the Yankees.
It looks as
though the Pirates will finish with the worse record in all of baseball this
year, but Pedro Alvarez cemented his role in the middle of the Pirates lineup
for years to come. Should the Pirates
ever crawl out of the cellar, Alvarez will be looked upon to play a big role in
that turnaround.
The success
of players that have graced this list in previous years could be very good news
for Royals fans, as their three best prospects are the heart and soul of the
middle of this projected lineup. They
won't be complementing an already strong team like many of the players listed
above once they make it to Kansas City, they will be defining it.
Mike Stanton,
who spent 53 games in AA before getting the call up for the Marlins, put up big
enough numbers to be considered, but established himself far too quickly as a
big-leaguer to get the nod for this list.
Similar to
past years, I like stacking up this team how they would look one-through-nine
(well, actually one-through-eight since I'm not picking a designated hitter),
followed by a trio of pitchers and a potential closer.
Mike Trout - CF (Angels)
Trout put up
incredible numbers for the Cedar Rapids Kernels before getting the bump up to
high-A mid-way through the minor league season.
He was named the Midwest League's MVP despite playing only 81 games, and
overall hit .341/.428/.490 between two levels with 56 stolen bases in 71
attempts. Midwest League teams couldn't
stop him from getting on base, and when he did, they also couldn't stop him
from stealing bases at will. His
production slowed upon his promotion to Rancho Cucamonga in the Cal League, but
he still batted .306 with 15 extra-base hits in 50 games, and certainly appears
to be on the fast-track for the Angels.
Brett Jackson - LF (Cubs)
Jackson also
enjoyed a fine season between two levels, splitting his season between Dayton
in the Florida State League and Tennessee in the Southern League at the AA
level. He showed the ability to hit for
both average (.297) and power (.493 SLG), with 32 doubles, 14 triples and 12
home runs. His variety of extra-base
hits is telling of his speed, as were his 30 stolen bases on the year. He is one of two Cubs prospects (Chris
Archer) on this list getting closer and closer to big-league consideration,
although he is somewhat blocked by Alfonso Soriano and his albatross contract
in left field. While Jackson is athletic
enough to play any outfield position, his arm is best suited in left.
Wil Myers - C (Royals)
In a recurring
theme at the top of this list, Myers also hit very well between two levels, and
he actually hit better after his promotion to Wilmington in the Eastern League
(.346) than he did in his stint with Burlington in the Midwest League (.289). Myers is one of the best overall hitters in
the minors, with an extremely disciplined approach for a player his age,
walking almost as many times as he struck out (85 to 94). He got on base 43% of the time, and showed
both gap and over the fence power. He
has improved behind the plate defensively and is starting to quiet some
speculation that he may have to move to another position.
Blue Jays
catcher J.P. Arencibia, who was rewarded for his big season with a big-league
callup, also enjoyed a big year at the plate.
Mike Moustakas - 3B (Royals)
If nothing
else, Moustakas will be the answer to a good trivia question: Who is the last player to hit a home run at
Rosenblatt? He blasted 36 homers between
both AA and AAA this season, one step ahead of Hosmer as listed below and two
ahead of Myers, while hitting .322/.369/.630 overall, adding 41 doubles and 124
RBI to his impressive stat line. He more
than silenced his critics coming off of a mediocre season last year, and will
likely head to spring training in contention for a regular spot in the Royals
lineup to open the 2011 season.
Eric Hosmer - 1B (Royals)
Royals fans
haven't had too much to cheer about in recent years, but that could begin to
change once Myers, Moustakas and Hosmer assume their position in the everyday
lineup for Kansas City in the not-to-distant future. Hosmer had the most competition for this
nomination, with Freddie Freeman and Brandon Belt also enjoying big years as
first baseman. He edged those two out by
hitting .338/.406/.571, again, between the high-A and AA levels, blasting 43
doubles, 9 triples and 20 home runs.
Similar to his Royals prospect-mates, he also did a good job managing
the strike zone (59 walks, 66 strikeouts), particularly for his age relative to
the level he was playing at.
Dominic Brown - RF (Phillies)
With a
6-foot-5, 200-pound frame, everyone knew there was more power to Brown's swing,
who has steadily progressed the last four years since being drafted in the 20th
round of the 2006 draft. His home runs
have climbed from nine to 14 to 20 in his last three seasons while also setting
a career high in average (.327). He too
enjoyed success at two levels before getting a call-up to the big-league club
as the Phillies march confidently towards the postseason. Brown profiles well in right field, where he
may replace free-agent-to-be Jayson Werth to open the 2011 season.
Grant Green - SS (Athletics)
Since Green's
professional debut for Stockton a year ago lasted only five games, he returned
to the same team this year and remained with the club all season, hitting an
impressive .318/.363/.520 with some gaudy extra-base hit numbers: 39 doubles, 6 triples and 20 home runs. The A's may be more aggressive with Green
next year as he ascends towards Oakland, although he will need to improve his
defense (37 errors) to rid himself of speculation that he may be better suited
at third base.
Nick Franklin
(Mariners) was a close second after posting big numbers during his first full
professional season as a 19-year old in the Midwest League.
Brett Lawrie - 2B (Brewers)
In only his
second professional season, Lawrie was one of the youngest players in the
Southern League, as he has been placed aggressively by the Brewers since they
took him 16th overall in the 2008 draft.
After starting the season slow, he acclimated himself to AA pitching and
finished the year with a very respectable .285/.346/.451 line. You can get a sense for his tools set by
looking at some of his others numbers:
36 doubles, 16 triples, 8 homers and 30 stolen bases, clearly living up
to his reputation as an offensive-minded player. He still may be suited at a different
position long-term, but he also continues to garner comparisons to a young Jeff
If you're an
AL fan, take any of the players that just missed the cut (Freddie Freeman,
Brandon Belt, Nick Franklin or even Mike Stanton) to plug in as the team's
designated hitter to give this lineup nine hitters.
Jeremy Hellickson - SP (Rays)
As noted
above, this is the third consecutive year that Hellickson has appeared on this
list. Year after year he went out and
posted very good numbers, pitching much bigger than his smallish, 6-foot-1,
185-pound listed frame. He went 12-3
with a 2.72 ERA this summer in 22 appearances before getting the call to the
big-leagues where his success has continued with the playoff bound Rays. Hellickson spent six seasons in the minors,
going 49-16 with a 2.72 ERA before making his debut at 23-years of age. As a native of Iowa, Hellickson remains a
favorite among the Perfect Game staff.
Kyle Drabek - SP (Blue Jays)
appeared on this list a year ago as an honorable mention, and he bested the
season he had last year with another strong year at the same level, although
with a new organization. Drabek of
course was the key cog that allowed the Phillies to acquire Roy Halladay from
the Toronto Blue Jays, and he recently made his big-league debut. After going 14-9 this season with a 2.94 ERA,
he has now tossed nearly 260 innings in the AA Eastern League with a 3.21 ERA
between this year and last, and may be polished enough to stick in Toronto for
good. Should he continue a more patient
path, similar to Hellickson, he may return to AAA to open next season for his
final tune-up.
Chris Archer - SP (Cubs)
Being traded
to the Cubs from the Indians as part of a deal for Mark DeRosa was the best
thing that happened to Archer's baseball career, as he immediately turned his
fortunes around starting a year ago, and continued to get better this
year. Similar to both Hellickson and Drabek,
he's not the most physically imposing figure on the mound, but he has an
electric arm, and after going 7-1 with a 2.86 ERA in the Florida State League,
he went 8-2 with a 1.80 ERA in the Southern League. Missing bats has never been a problem for
him, and a little more polish next year should help iron out some command
Zach Britton
(Orioles), John Lamb (Royals) and Robbie Erlin (Rangers) deserve an honorable
Billy Bullock - CL (Twins)
It's no
surprise that the final member of this team enjoyed enough success to be
promoted one step closer to the big-leagues at the midseason point, beginning
the year in the Florida State League before joining the Twins AA affiliate in
the Eastern League. Collectively he
posted 27 saves, as Bullock was drafted in the second round last year with the
intent on fast-tracking him to Minnesota as a short reliever and potential
closer. He has the size and stuff to
compete with anyone, striking out 105 batters in 74 innings of work, although
he will need to continue to hone his control after walking 43 batters. He already has 38 professional saves under
his belt, and could be knocking at the big-league door well before this point
next year.

The app opportunity and the positive impact on jobs
Neelie KROES
Vice-President of the European Commission responsible for the Digital Agenda
The app opportunity
Launch of Eurapp Study on the European apps economy
Brussels, 13 February 2014
To add your comment to this speech, see the social version of the speech here
Thank you very much.
This is a fantastic study, with a lot to teach us.
Here are three things I take from it.
First, the amazing scale of the European app economy is big and getting bigger. With 1.8 million jobs, rising to nearly 5 million by 2018. With revenues of 17.5 billion euros, rising to 63 billion. Yet just 5 years ago, it didn't exist at all.
The second is that this is one area of the digital economy where Europe really leads. Of the global revenue for consumer apps, EU developers raise 43%.
And the third is the huge variety on display. With many different business models , structures, and uses. From advertising to upfront payment to in-app purchase; from small independents to corporate in-house; from games to healthcare.
This sector is as diverse as it is innovative.
But for all that opportunity, the EU app economy is not without challenges.
The apps may be European; but the big platforms are not. The giants, so far, are American: Apple, Google, Facebook. Platforms on which most developers are, in practice, totally dependent. Which means that, in spite of our strength in development, our balance of trade is still negative. That's an area where Europe could still be stronger.
Plus many in the app economy find a serious skills shortage – it isn't easy enough to find people with the right talents.
From coding to business skills.
And there is also fragmentation. Between platforms – as systems do not interoperate. And between countries: as poor connectivity, roaming charges, and incompatible legal rules like copyright make it hard to sell your bright idea to a single, integrated market of 500 million.
With a jackpot like this on offer, we need to take those challenges very seriously. So here are three things we are doing.
First, boosting digital skills at all levels.
Because it's clear that coding is the new life skill, one that opens doors in so many areas, one that's in too short supply.
So how can we get those skills for the future? In many ways: through companies, through schools, and from the grassroots.
Our grand coalition for digital jobs is about working with the industry and other partners. And the declaration we made in Davos a few weeks ago could mean 250,000 new training courses, 100,000 new traineeships, thousands of new jobs.
By working with schools, in a new push to open up education and modernise it for the digital age. Building digital skills right into the connected classroom.
Plus getting more young people interested in digital careers – and showing they can be challenging and creative, rewarding and fun: for everyone.
I said this sector was diverse: but not quite. Of all that workforce, in fact, this study shows that only around one in ten are women. One in ten! It's time we stopped excluding half the population.
And by working from the grassroots. Last November, my young advisers organised the first-ever EU Code week – with over 300 events, reaching 10,000 people in 26 countries. That success shows loads of people out there dying to learn the vital life skill of programming – and plenty willing to teach it. This year's will be the 11th to the 17th of October: and I hope it is just as great a success.
Second: we can boost the environment for innovation, making Europe more startup-friendly. The Startup Manifesto has twenty-two ideas for how to do that: and we're already acting on them.
Plus, Horizon 2020 will be the EU's biggest ever programme for R&D, and the most ever focused on innovation. It now includes – for the first time ever – 10 million euros of funding to help startups flourish. In particular by improving app developers' access to talent.
And here's the third thing we need. All apps and all mobile devices rely on broadband networks. Yet, today, the framework for European telecoms is shattered and constrained. Meaning poor wireless connectivity, connections that can't easily cross borders, apps and services that are blocked or throttled by network operators, prohibitive surcharges to use your mobile abroad.
Today, these are already big issues, irritating to citizens and an obstacle to growth.
In tomorrow's world, where even cars are connected, where we rely on mobile apps even for our healthcare – resolving them will be absolutely critical.
All of these problems could be fixed with the rules for a Connected Continent. So I hope national telecoms ministers and MEPs can agree them very quickly.
This study is interesting in itself. But it leads to a bigger question, and a bigger vision. It's one that I spend a lot of time thinking about.
It's this. It's about the next generation, that of my grandchildren. What kind of life will they lead? How will they learn and play? How will they interact and transact, educate and entertain, shop and socialise? Find jobs, create them, carry them out? Meet friends and partners? What kind of places will they live in? What kind of places will they travel to? How will they stay in touch with distant friends and family? As they grow older, how will they be able to do so with dignity, respect and independence?
The answer to all these questions is digital. Digital tools and apps are an area of great growth and innovation. And this study shows that will only continue.
And these aren't just about one part of the economy – they're about every part of the economy, and every part of our lives. From better learning to better living. Creative coding can change everything we do; and a connected continent can underpin our competitiveness.
That's why I see so much of our future online. On a platform where the only limit is your imagination, the amazing innovative Internet. I hope that Europe can grab that opportunity — long into the future.

Mouse polling rate
If you have invested in a high resolution mouse, adjusting the USB polling rate is a common trick to utilise the added precision it brings. The polling rate (or report rate) determines how often (per second) the mouse sends information to your computer. Measured in Hz, this setting equates to lag time (in ms).
By default, the USB polling rate is set at 125hz. The table below represents combinations of Hz values and their corresponding delay time:
If the polling rate is set at 125 Hz, the mouse cursor can only be updated every 8 milliseconds. In situations where lag is critical (for example games), it is useful to decrease this value to as little as possible. Increasing the polling interval will improve precision at the tradeoff of using more CPU resources, therefore care should be taken when adjusting this value.
Setting the polling rate
Here we are using the USBHID module of the kernel to set a custom "mousepoll" rate. Simply add the following line to your /etc/modprobe.conf file:
options usbhid mousepoll=[polling interval]
(where [polling interval] is a number in ms from the table above. For example, to set a polling rate of 500Hz:
options usbhid mousepoll=2
Now, to ensure the USBHID module loads upon boot add the following to your /etc/rc.conf file, within the MODULES list:
For example:
MOD_AUTOLOAD="yes" MODULES=(b44 usbhid !mii !ipw2200 !ac97_bus snd-mixer-oss snd-pcm-oss snd- page-alloc snd-pcm snd-timer snd snd-ac97-codec snd-intel8x0 !snd-intel8x0m soundcore !pcspkr !snd_pcsp)
Displaying current mouse rate
A tool exists (named evhz) that can display the current mouse refresh rate -- useful when checking that your customised polling settings have been applied.
The original source no longer exists ([1]), so a mirror has been provided here: evhz.c. Full credit goes to the original author, Alan Kivlin.
Compile it with:
gcc -o evhz evhz.c
Then execute in root:
Alternatively, Windows tools such as DirectX mouserate checker can be run using WINE.

The Boston police bomb squad investigated an incident Thursday in which a passenger dropped a suspicious object under an MBTA bus in the Longwood medical area. But it turned out that the object was a plastic chocolate milk bottle.
The incident was reported at 9:26 a.m. when a passenger on a Route 66 bus got off near Brigham Circle and dropped the bottle under the vehicle, Joe Pesaturo, MBTA spokesman, said in e-mail. The driver contacted public safety officials.
Boston and Transit Police cleared the scene near the intersections of Tremont Street and Huntington Avenue to investigate the object, officials said. The bottle was deemed unsuspicious, and the scene was cleared around 10:45 a.m.
The passenger who dropped the bottle was taken into custody and will be charged with disorderly conduct and interfering with public transportation, Pesaturo said.

GREENWOOD, S.C. - The Georgia College men's basketball team (5-4) lost 76-74 by a buzzer-beater to Southern Wesleyan University (5-5) Saturday in day two of the Bearcat Holiday Classic hosted by Lander University.
With the game knotted up at 74-74 and seconds remaining, Nicola Lambic ripped down a rebound and fired an outlet pass to Kenny Joyner, banking home the game winner from the elbow with 0.8 seconds left on the clock. The basket was Joyner's second field goal of the day, finishing with seven points.
Senior Quin Bivins (Macon, Ga.) paced the Bobcats with 20 points off the bench, leading four Georgia College players in double figures.
Scott Ferguson (Roswell, Ga.) poured in 19 to go with seven rebounds, while Aaron Robinson (Lawrenceville, Ga.) added 11 points and a game-high six assists. Royal Thomas (LaGrange, Ga.) chipped in with 10 points to the cause.

Swimming practice
The Thurlow Fisher Lawyers 18ft Skiff team of Michael Coxon, Trent Barnabas and David O'Connor gave a wonderful exhibition on Sydney Harbour today when they took out Race 4 of the NSW Championship in an 18-25 knot southeasterly wind.
After trailing Gotta Love It 7 by just 3s at the first windward mark, Thurlow Fisher Lawyers grabbed the lead when Gotta Love It 7 capsized and from that point Thurlow's crew were brilliant as they led clearly for the rest of the course.
The battle behind the winner saw many positional changes throughout the race before Smeg (Nick Press, Dan Phillips, Dave Ewings) finally came home 1m25s back in second place.
Pure Blonde (Tom Clout, Rob Bell, Matt Wark) worked her way through the fleet, after trailing early, to finish a further 5m9s in third place.
James Dorron and his Mojo Wine team showed their skill by finishing fourth after gear failure which prevented their use of a spinnaker on two of the latter runs.
John Winning's Yandoo was fifth, to give the team the series lead on 16 points.
Overall standings has Smeg in second place on 18, followed by Gotta Love It 7 (Seve Jarvin) on 29, Thurlow Fisher Lawyers 31, Pure Blonde 34, Coopers-Rag & Famish Hotel (Jack Macartney) and Mojo Wine on 35.
Thurlow Fisher and De'Longhi-Rabbitohs (Simon Nearn) won the start and were leading the group on the LHS of the course near Steele Point. Gotta Love It 7 and Smeg elected to go to the right and sailed to the western side of Shark Island.
The two groups converged only 50m from the Rose Bay windward mark and there was little difference between them as Gotta Love It 7 led Thurlow Fisher Lawyers by the mere 3s.
Shortly after rounding the mark, Gotta Love It 7 capsized and the resulting damage has caused serious damage to the hull, which could have a drastic affect on the team's chances of defending their Giltinan title next week.
The conditions were took a heavy toll on the race as six teams failed to complete the course, while four others did not make it to the start.

This bento has more of the feel of a traditional bento: one tier has mostly rice and the other tier has a variety of ingredients. I failed on the five colors though, since the only green in this bento is the lettuce used for a separator. Oooohhh, maybe that's why they look so scared - there's no broccoli!
Left: 2 veggie triangle gyoza separated by steamed squash and cucumber slices. Baby tomatoes, carrot star, 2 vegetarian greek meatball oni with mozzarella and nori eyes, corn in the cow container.
Right: Jasmine rice with soy bologna and nori monster with mozzarella eyes, tooth and toenails. Sweet gherkin, baby tomato, carrot star and more steamed squash.

Buehrle's perfect start to '14 halted by Red Sox
TORONTO -- Mark Buehrle has been far and away the Blue Jays' most valuable starting pitcher in April, but he wasn't going to remain flawless forever.
The string of good starts for Toronto's veteran left-hander came to an end Friday night. He had been one of the best pitchers in baseball through four starts and at least a slight regression to the mean had been expected.View Full Game Coverage
TORONTO -- Mark Buehrle has been far and away the Blue Jays' most valuable starting pitcher in April, but he wasn't going to remain flawless forever.
The string of good starts for Toronto's veteran left-hander came to an end Friday night. He had been one of the best pitchers in baseball through four starts and at least a slight regression to the mean had been expected.View Full Game Coverage
That happened when Buehrle was hit around early and often as he surrendered seven runs (six earned) over 5 1/3 innings in the Blue Jays' 8-1 loss to the Red Sox in front of 29,411 fans at Rogers Centre.
"That's baseball, you're not going to be perfect every time out there," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. "He'll bounce back. He was just off tonight, it's that simple, like anybody else can be."
Buehrle entered the series opener 4-0 and had allowed two earned runs in 28 innings. He was looking to become the first pitcher in franchise history to win his first five starts, but it became clear early on that it was going to be a daunting task.
Following a three-up, three-down first inning, Buehrle got himself into trouble in the second. He allowed a leadoff walk to Mike Napoli, then a bloop double by Xander Bogaerts just over the head of first baseman Edwin Encarnacion.
After a sacrifice fly by A.J. Pierzynski and an RBI single by Will Middlebrooks, the big blow came on a two-run single from Dustin Pedroia. When the inning was over, Buehrle had faced seven batters and allowed four runs on four hits and a walk.
Buehrle allowed another run in the third on a home run by David Ortiz, then saw his outing come to an end in the sixth after a pair of hits and a walk. The veteran left-hander allowed 12 hits and three walks, and for the first time this year, he didn't strike out a single batter.
Despite the disappointing outing, Buehrle put together one of the best Aprils of his career. He went 4-1 with a 2.16 ERA even though he had been a notoriously slow starter throughout his 15 seasons. Buehrle became only the fourth American League pitcher over the past 15 seasons to start 4-0 and allow one or no earned runs in each of those starts. The other three were Cleveland's Cliff Lee (2008), Kansas City's Zack Greinke (2009) and Oakland's Brett Anderson (2012).
"I think the game was kind of decided there in the second inning," Buehrle said. "You could see the first four games, balls were going to my defensive guys and today a couple of those bloop singles finding holes, just over Edwin's glove.
"That's why I say you have to have the luck on your side. I wasn't hitting my spots as good as I was in the past. When I did, they got some base hits, but overall, too many strikes in the middle of the zone and they took advantage of it."
Toronto's offense was virtually non-existent against Red Sox right-hander Jake Peavy. One of the only scoring chances came in the fifth when the Blue Jays had runners on first and second with one out for Dioner Navarro. Jose Bautista tried to steal third, but was then thrown out by Pierzynski. That essentially killed the rally and the inning came to an end when Navarro popped out.
Juan Francisco provided the lone spark in the seventh when he hit a one-out homer to deep right field. The ball traveled so far that it landed above the Robert Alomar sign on Toronto's Level of Excellence. That's on the fourth level of the stadium and was Francisco's first in a Blue Jays uniform.
The Blue Jays had just five hits over Peavy's seven innings. He walked one and struck out seven to lower his ERA to 2.87 while also earning his first win of 2014. It was the 10th time Toronto has lost to the Red Sox over the past 16 matchups at Rogers Centre.
"I think they were a little bit hesitant after [Bautista] tried to steal third," Peavy said. "That was a shot in the arm for us. They need baserunners and one big swing of the bat. You've got to keep that team in the ballpark, that's the game plan going in, is keep the speed guys off base and keep the rest of the guys in the ballpark and you feel like you've got a chance."

Back in May, we caught wind of Dreadline, a game in which famous monsters travel through time to equally famous tragedies and kill everyone before they would've died anyway.
It's an enjoyably goofy premise, and given that the game is headed up by former Harmonix and Irrational developers Bryn Bennett and Steve Kimura, it's got a lot of promise. We hadn't heard anything else on the game since then, but they've still been working it, recently turning to Kickstarter to raise the money they need to finish it.
It's the rare Kickstarter project that isn't a rehash of an old idea or a nostalgia-play, but Dreadline is a new idea, and a cool one. In the video above, Bennett and Kimura (or animated versions of them) give you their best pitch. Hey, a game where I behead Titanic victims, save babies and hang out with the Wolfman? I'd play it.

For over 1,000 years, the Irish have observed St. Patrick's Day as a religious holiday. It is also observed in the United States and abroad with parades, Irish inspired feasts, and of course, green. Since the 17th century, the color green has become an important part of the celebrations and are seen on many clothes, shamrocks and yes, leprechauns. To get into the festive spirit, we decided to share some of our favorite green items that we offer.
Favorite Green Water Pitcher
The Brita Grand� Green Water Pitcher: We love this filtered water pitcher from Brita. A flip-top lid, soft grip handle and electronic filter change indicator light are convenient features that make this a great fit for your home. Our favorite part about this pitcher is that it's green in more ways than one. First, this Brita pitcher eliminates the need to buy bottled water, which often clogs our nation's landfills. Secondly, when it's time for the filter to be replaced, you can recycle it through the Brita recycling program. How's that for green?
Favorite Green Water Bottle
The Klean Kanteen Be Green Bottle and Loop Cap: Like the Brita water pitcher, this water bottle is also green in more ways than one. Made from BPA free, food-grade stainless steel, this is one of the more eco-friendly water bottles available on the market today. The Klean Kanteen Loop Cap allows you to clip the water bottle to backpacks, camping equipment and more with the Klean Kanteen S-Biner Carabiner. It's dishwasher friendly and will not retain any flavors or odors, making it a perfect addition to your collection of reusable water bottles.
Favorite Green Humidifier
The Crane Cool Mist Green Frog Humidifier: Its adorability alone makes this a personal favorite of ours. Admit it, the face mesmerizes you. It's great for use in children's rooms and provides relief from sinus irritation, nasal congestion and dry skin. The winter months may be nearing an end, but that doesn't mean you can't get ahead of the game and get your humidifier for� next winter. Even after the numerous health benefits, there's still that adorable face…
March 17 is St. Patrick's Day. If you choose to partake in the St. Patrick's Day festivities, remember to be safe and wear green lest you fall victim to the pinch. Out of all the green items we offer, what is your personal favorite? Tell us your preference in the comments below.

Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) lawmakers yesterday said the conviction on corruption charges of Hsiao Yu-cheng (蕭裕正), the former head of Greater Kaohsiung Government's Environmental Protection Bureau, was the result of a "witch hunt," and vowed to file for a retrial or an extraordinary appeal.
The lawmakers, including Lee Kun-tse (李昆澤), Chao Tien-lin (趙天麟), Chen Chi-mai (陳其邁), Cheng Li-chun (鄭麗君), Hsiao Bi-khim (蕭美琴) and Wu Ping-jui (吳秉叡), made the remarks in the company of Hsiao's lawyer, Lee Sheng-chen (李勝琛), at a press conference at the Legislative Yuan in Taipei.
The press conference came after the Supreme Court on Thursday last week dismissed an appeal against the two-year sentence Hsiao had been given for instructing members of a local cleaning squad to attend a campaign event for Lee Kun-tse — who was running for legislator at the time — held during office hours in December 2007, and to subsequently forge documents to obtain NT$4,105 in overtime pay.
"It is really bizarre [for the courts] to sentence a bureau head to two years in prison over NT$4,105. Besides, the overtime payment [system] has been in place for a long time and does not exist for the sake of election campaigns events," Lee Sheng-chen said.
Lee Sheng-chen said the courts made the ruling based mainly on prosecutors' allegations that the head of the cleaning squad had made a telephone call to Hsiao asking him to ratify their overtime payment applications if the squad members attended Lee Kun-tse's campaign rally.
"That alleged telephone call was the key piece of evidence that made Hsiao an accomplice in the squad members' overtime fraud, but there is no record of that call," Lee Sheng-chen.
"However, the judges responded by saying it was inevitable that something was left out under Greater Kaohsiung Government's 'complex organizational structures,'" Lee added.
Casting doubt on the judiciary's handling of Hsiao's case, Wu, a former judge, said Hsiao received the instruction for execution of his prison term only one day after the Supreme Court's dismissal of the appeal was announced, which state that he is due to report to prison on Friday.
"According to customary practices, those convicted receive such instructions about a month after their jail sentences are finalized, while it only took one day for Hsiao to receive his," Wu said.

Two strong candidates, both with deep Valley roots, are vying to represent the new 5th Senate District.
Two strong candidates, both with deep Valley roots, are vying to represent the new 5th Senate District.
Republican Bill Berryhill and Democrat Cathleen Galgiani, both members of the Assembly, come with admirable public service credentials and a sincere desire to serve.
But Berryhill is the more forceful candidate, not that we believe his campaign has been all that civil.
Now a resident of the Brookside area of Stockton, Berryhill enjoys a legislative pedigree handed down from the longtime legislative service of his father and his brother, a current member of the state Senate.
It is Berryhill's convincing independent nature that sets him apart from Galgiani and some of his fellow Republicans. For example, he dismisses anti-tax pledges taken by some lawmakers. "If you sign the pledge you're locked in," he told members of The Record's editorial board.
While he and Galgiani differ little in their opposition to Gov. Jerry Brown's plan to sluice more north state water to the south by bypassing the Delta, Berryhill has an actual alternative.
However, the two candidates split on the high-speed rail project that Galgiani has championed for years at the expense of other needs and which Berryhill chides as making "no sense to me at all."
The longtime Modesto-area farmer has moved to Stockton to live in the new district, which for the most part is San Joaquin County. He said he is in the process of setting up a business here in addition to his agricultural activities, including operations in this county.
Galgiani, a fifth generation Stocktonian, has moved back into her Stockton home after taking up residence in Livingston to be more centrally located in the Assembly district she currently represents.
While we support Berryhill's candidacy, his campaign has been disappointing because of the vicious, unnecessary and personal charges he has made about Galgiani's responsibility for prison realignment.
Distasteful as realignment is, Berryhill knows full well it was forced on the state by a federal court that demanded the state reduce the prison population.
Galgiani voted for the realignment legislation. Berryhill did not. Neither did he offer an alternate solution.
That makes his attacks on Galgiani ring hollow.
The attack also makes Berryhill less than the moderate conservative candidate voters have a right to expect.
