DETROIT -- History is decidedly in the Detroit Tigers' favor. So is the sustained futility of the New York Yankees' lineup.
Justin Verlander took a shutout into the ninth inning Tuesday night as the Tigers held off the New York Yankees 2-1 in Game 3 of the American League Championship Series at Comerica Park.
The Tigers have taken a commanding 3-0 lead in the best of seven series and will go for the sweep on Wednesday night when Max Scherzer, who led the major leagues in strikeouts in the regular season, faces Yankees ace CC Sabathia in Game 4 at 8:07 p.m. ET.
BOX SCORE: Tigers 2, Yankees 1
The only team ever to overcome a 3-0 deficit to win a best-of-seven series were the Boston Red Sox against the Yankees in the 2004 ALCS. Yet Verlander and the Tigers insist they are not breathing easy.
"They're the Yankees and they have great veteran hitters all through the line," Verlander said. "You never feel comfortable against them."
Yet the Yankees are countering merely with offensive ineptitude.
Robinson Cano is 3-for-36 (.083) in the postseason while Curtis Granderson is 3-for-29 (.107), Alex Rodriguez is 3-for-23 (.130), Nick Swisher is 4-for-26 (.154) and Russell Martin is 5-for-28 (.179).Together, they are hitting .120 (17-for-142) and Rodriguez and Swisher were on the bench for Game 3 as Yankees manager Joe Girardi tried to find a winning lineup combination.
If Scherzer pitches like the Tigers' other three starters have in this series then the Yankees will be ripe to be swept in a postseason series for the first time since the Cincinnati Reds took four straight from them in the 1976 World Series.
Tigers starters have allowed only one run in 21 1/3 innings in the ALCS for a combined 0.42 ERA and they have a 0.96 mark in eight games in this postseason.
Verlander held the Yankees to one run and three hits in 8 1/3 innings, allowing Eduardo Nunez's leadoff home run in the ninth that made it a one-run game.
"I was able to make big pitches when I had to and the defense played well behind me," said Verlander.
He was removed from the game in the ninth with 132 pitches.
"Normally you don't take out Secretariat in the final furlong," said Tigers manager Jim Leyland, "but that was pretty much it for him."
Verlander tied a season-high with 132 pitches, 86 for strikes.
Verlander is 9-0 with a 1.49 ERA in his last 11 home starts. His last loss in Detroit came more than three months ago when the Yankees beat him on June 3.
Left-hander Phil Coke gave up two hits but got the final two outs for his second save in as many games in place of struggling closer Jose Valverde.
The Yankees have scored just 21 runs in their eight postseason games and in just two of 30 innings in this series.
Yankees starter Phil Hughes left the game in the fourth inning with stiffness in his back two batters after giving up Delmon Young's leadoff home run, a liner to left, to open the scoring.
The Tigers made it 2-0 in the fifth when AL Triple Crown winner Miguel Cabrera doubled home rookie Quintin Berry, who reached on third baseman Eric Chavez's fielding error then stole second base.
The Yankees' team-wide slump continued, but their pitching has fared well.
"We've gotten good pitching all throughout the playoffs and we're going to need it again if we want to live another day," said Yankees manager Joe Girardi.

Andalusia under gallop
Andalusia has the largest number of protected nature areas of any Spanish autonomous region. They all offer the chance to enjoy direct contact with nature and the rural environment. One of the particular highlights is the Doñana National Park on the marshes of the Gualdalquivir.
Horseback ride along the beach in Fuengirola (Málaga)
Discover Andalusia on horseback. Have you ever thought about it? These animals have been closely linked to this part of southern Spain for centuries. Get ready to enjoy Andalusia in a very different way: you will discover spectacular landscapes and hidden villages as you explore unspoiled tracks and trails. A journey where sport, nature and adventure go hand in hand. Shall we get going?
Equestrian tourism is an enjoyable, original, different way to discover Andalusia, a region with deep-rooted traditions surrounding the world of horses. There are many horse-trainers', stables and riding schools to be found all over Andalusia. There are also a host of companies that organise rides and excursions on horseback, lasting anything from a couple of hours to a couple of weeks. In some cases these are well-established routes, although if you prefer, routes can also be designed "à la carte". This means the first thing is to decide what you want to do. We would recommend a visit to one of the tourist offices, where staff will help you with any queries or doubts.
Before heading into the countryside, bear in mind things like the excursion's difficulty level and the characteristics of the terrain. It is a good idea to practise on a closed circuit for a while first. This is no problem - many companies have their own riding schools. You should, of course, wear comfortable clothes, boots, jodhpurs and riding hat. Now it is time to ride over mountains and valleys, to cross rivers, to explore nature reserves, to gallop along the beach… From the white villages of Cadiz and the mountains of Jaén, Seville and Cordoba, to the irresistible surroundings of Granada, and the beaches of Huelva, Malaga and Almería... As you can see, there is plenty to choose from.
Dancing horses
Horses are also the protagonists of amazing shows, like those at the Royal Andalusia School of Equestrian Art. Come to this internationally renowned institution in Jerez de la Frontera, a town where horses form a central part of local life and tradition. Enjoy exhibitions, dressage competitions and carriage-pulling by purebred Spanish horses.
Don't miss out on the chance to see the "How Andalusian Horses Dance" show in person, where horses move and dance in time to well-known Spanish music. Here you will also find an exhibition with a valuable collection of carriages, saddles, trappings... Well worth a visit.
Lords of the fiesta
Horses are a symbol of fun and happiness: many fiestas and fairs in Andalusia would be unimaginable without them. You will see for yourself if you go to the El Rocío Pilgrimage, the April Fair, races on the beach in Sanlúcar de Barrameda or the Horse Fair in Jerez, all of which have the International Tourist Interest designation. Horses are often the centre of the celebration. They add spectacle and majesty with competitions, exhibitions, show jumping, contests... This is, in the end, another example of the affection and passion that horses provoke in this region. Come and see for yourself. What are you waiting for?

Social networking sites are never going to be 100 percent secure so privacy experts say you need to learn the no-no's.
"People believe they're communicating with a very small group of close friends," said Rainey Reitman with Privacy Rights Clearinghouse but, "inevitably they give away a little more information than they meant to."
So the Privacy Clearinghouse is introducing a list of the top 8 things you shouldn't give social networking sites:
- Access to your email account. During the registration process, social networks often solicit a new user to provide an email address and account password so they can access the user's email address book. To be safe, don't provide this information. Some sites will use that information to solicit "friends" to join.
- An email address associated with your professional life. Never provide a work-associated email to a social network, especially when signing up.
- Your exact date of birth, especially in combination with your place of birth. Your exact date of birth may be useful to an identity thief and could be used to predict your Social Security number.
- Your browsing history. Delete cookies, including flash cookies, every time you leave a social networking site.
- Vacation plans. Don't publicize vacation plans, especially the dates you'll be traveling.
- Public posts with your address, phone number or email address. Scam artists as well as marketing companies may be looking for this kind of information.
- Compromising, sensitive, embarrassing or inflammatory pictures or posts. Whatever goes on a network site might eventually be seen by people not in the intended audience.
- Money. Be skeptical of request for money, even if they are from contact you know and trust. If a contact's account is compromised, a scam artist may use his or her name and account to attempt to defraud others through bogus money requests.
Privacy Rights Clearinghouse says the strongest tools you have to defend your personal privacy on social networking sites are common sense, caution and skepticism.

You don't have to hire Vinny Van Lowe to know that Veronica Mars fans are one dedicated bunch of marshmallows. And after all these years since VMars went off the air — six, to be exact — all that waiting, tweeting and praying might pay off: The Veronica Mars movie is actually going happen! But only if you're willing to help.
Creator Rob Thomas and star Kristen Bell launched a Kickstarter campaign Wednesday to raise money for the project, with a goal of $2 million in 30 days. If the goal is met, the movie would begin shooting this summer and would get a limited theatrical release in early 2014. (Yes, that soon.) Afterward, the movie will be available on VOD, iTunes and other online platforms.

So what would a Veronica Mars movie look like after all these years?
"Life has taken Veronica away from Neptune. In the years since spoiling Keith's chances to be reelected sheriff, Veronica hasn't taken a case," Thomas writes. "But something big is about to bring her back home and back to her calling. My goal is to include as many of your favorite characters as possible. It is, after all, time for Veronica's 10-year high school reunion.
"Keep in mind that the more money we raise, the cooler movie we can make," Thomas continues. "A two million dollar fundraising total probably means cross words are exchanged at the class reunion. Three million? We can afford a full-on brawl. Ten million? Who knows... For some reason the Neptune High class reunion takes place on a nuclear submarine! A Hobbit shows up! There's a Bollywood end-credit dance number! I've always wanted to direct Bill Murray. We'll figure out something cool. Hey, if that total goes high enough, I'll bet the good folks at Warner Bros. will agree a sequel is a good idea."
Photos: Jason Dohring and other stars who need a show
Unlike the series, the Veronica Mars movie is considering a range of shooting locations, including Los Angeles, Vancouver, Baton Rouge, La., and San Diego, Calif., depending on funding.
So do you hear that, people? Even if/when the goal is met, don't stop donating! Especially if we have any hope of enticing back SAG-nominated actress Amanda Seyfried for one last Lily Kane apparition.
Bell and Thomas are also offering rewards to fans who contribute to the campaign, including a PDF of the shooting script (for a $10 donation), a personalized voicemail from Bell ($500) and a part in the movie ($10,000).
Oh, and don't worry, LoVe 'shippers. Thomas is taking your hopes for Veronica and Logan into consideration (even though, as he points out, in noir "there aren't a lot of happy endings"). Noting how long we've been waiting for this, Thomas jokes that because of LoVe, he'll go back and rework the "super-grim ending."
Update: The Veronica Mars Kickstarter campaign was able to meet its $2 million goal in under 10 hours. But the fund is still taking donations. After all, who doesn't want a personalized voicemail from the adorable Bell?!
Check out their video appeal below (which was actually filmed last winter), featuring Bell, Ryan Hansen, Jason Dohring, Enrico Colatoni and Thomas.

Our opinion: Our transportation crisis
Massachusetts' transportation problems are well-known and growing, and 2013 shapes up as the year in which they must finally be addressed rather than just discussed. Legislative leadership promises to make transportation a priority and today Governor Deval Patrick is expected to address the issue and ideally offer the concrete funding mechanisms necessary to make improvement a reality. Even if the cure is hard to swallow, continuing to allow the problem to fester is no option.
The dilemma is three-fold, with transportation debt, personified by the buck-swallowing Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority, sucking up transportation dollars for the rest of the state. Inadequate funding for public transit and the state's deteriorating roads and bridges make up the other two legs of this critical problem.
The Berkshire Regional Transit Authority does good work with limited resources ($1.8 million annually compared to $37 million annually for the MBTA) but wants to answer demand by adding routes, extending service hours and operating on Sundays. At an Eagle editorial board meeting last week with the Transportation for Massachusetts coalition, Berkshire Community College President Ellen Kennedy said more flexible bus schedules would benefit students from around the county and provide better access to BCC facilities for county residents. Residents who are homeless or low income require better access to public transportation to get jobs that reduce or end dependence on government assistance.
Upgrading the state's roads and bridges would provide jobs while addressing neglected problems that become more costly to fix with every year they are postponed. The problem is compounded, as Anthony Puntin, a Pittsfield native who heads the Boston Society of Civil Engineers told The Eagle, because the state is trying to build and fix roads and bridges with half the revenue of 15 or 20 years ago while costs keep going up.
The funding gap has emerged because the state gasoline tax, the primary source of transportation funding, has been stagnant since 1993. That 19-cent tax constituted 17 percent of the average cost of a gallon of gas 20 years ago. Today, according to the Berkshire Regional Planning Commission, with the cost of gasoline up to an average of $3.46 a gallon, the tax represents less than 6 percent of that cost. "It's just math," observed Mr. Puntin in explaining the resultant funding crisis.
We urge the entire Berkshire delegation to join state Representative Tricia Farley-Bouvier of Pittsfield in seeking additional funds for the BRTA. The county must also get its fair share of road and bridge money. That pool of money must be increased, however, which requires Beacon Hill to take the difficult action that has been put off. Our employers, employees, students, elders and everyone else who relies on roads, buses and trains require it.

Diablo is an isometric top-down dungeon crawler action-RPG with a demonic Gothic theme. It was developed by Blizzard North and published by Blizzard Entertainment and released for Windows in 1996 and later ported to Macintosh and PlayStation.
I first saw Diablo at a friend's house in 1996 or 1997. I think it was the demo version, but I'm not sure. He made a warrior and got to the Butcher but was killed. In 1997, a different friend and I bought Diablo together, each paying half of the price, and swapped it between each other every few days. After he beat the game, he sold me his half, and I still have the original game to this day.
Playing Diablo always reminds me of the music from Queen's Sheer Heart Attack album, which I listened to a lot while playing this game.
I own this game for Windows and have beaten it as a warrior, rogue, and sorcerer. I've also beaten the Hellfire expansion as a monk (though I don't own it).
- Overall: 7/10
- Best Version: Windows
- Ignoring the cheats and exploits, the game engine is pretty solid.
- The monster AI is varied and interesting allowing for different tactics. Fallen Ones can be scared away by killing a monster in front of them, scavengers can be delayed by making corpses for them to eat, etc.
- The ambient music is creepy and the town music is quite nice. Good sound effects too.
- The palette is nicely dark and foreboding fitting the mood of the game.
- The prefix/suffix system for items and dungeon randomizer allows for a lot of replay value.
- The dungeon generator changes based on the various environments of the game.
- The story is pretty typical.
- The pre-rendered 3D graphics are very bland. I would have preferred hand-drawn sprites.
- The cut-scene animations are rather poorly animated.
- Once you've explored the town and find it has little to offer, it becomes tedious to navigate.
- Farnham and Gillian are entirely pointless NPCs.
- Like many games that use a prefix/suffix approach to items, the vast majority of them are unwanted wasting your time.
- The map generation is a little too random, sometimes placing doors where they're unneeded, creating long dead-ends, or making numerous rooms with nothing in them.
- There is a lot of recorded dialog for quests among NPCs, almost all of which is unimportant and wastes your time.
- The Witch monster set was shameless targeted for teen male gamers. She's topless, g-string, leather boots, and when she dies, she moans and falls into a doggy-style position.
- The later levels become an exercise in tedium for the warrior. A large portion of the enemies shoot projectiles at you and, when you try to near, run or teleport away. The game's weak follow algorithm makes things worse by often failing to take you in the most direct path, giving them time to escape.
- Battle.net has been shutdown for Diablo, and when it was available it was horrible broken with cheating. You could only safely play in password-protected games with friends.
Hellfire is an expansion for Diablo developed by Synergistic Software and published by Sierra On-Line in 1997 for Windows. The expansion adds the monk class, two new dungeons (hive and crypt) each with new monsters and quests, new items (oils and traps), new spells, and new prefixes/suffixes. The expansion was supposed to add two more classes (barbarian and bard), but they were scrapped before the game was released. However, with a little configuration modification, they can be unlocked.
I don't like the hive dungeon, as it seemed too insect/alien which I don't think fits with the demonic fantasy vibe of Diablo. The crypt was more fitting, but the lich monster class made it extremely annoying.

The Arab citizen lies at the heart of the process of building the desired knowledge society. The Arab Knowledge Report 2010/2011 proceeds to the stage of laying the foundations for the knowledge society by developing principles of dealing with the methodologies and mechanisms of preparing future generations to actively participate in building the knowledge society and access its vast domains. Dealing with this matter put us right in the midst of the processes of preparing and rehabilitating Arab citizens to enhance their skills; instilling values which control and direct their decisions and activities, and the methods and mechanisms of their empowerment. These maximize the opportunities of their active participation in building the knowledge society and reaping its benefits. these gains will be employed within the broader context and ultimate goal of achieving sustainable human development to support and retain the pride and dignity of the Arab people.

Ewen Park
Ewen Park
John Ewen was a brigadier general in New York State's National Guard during the Civil War. When the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia invaded Pennsylvania, Ewen and his three regiments were sent to reinforce the Union troops, despite a War Department policy prohibiting state militia officers above the rank of colonel from fighting in the U.S. Army. At Gettysburg, his troops operated on the flanks of the enemy, but were not directly involved in the battle. After the Union victory, Ewen and his forces returned home on July 20, 1863. He later was elected as Comptroller of the City of New York.
Eliza M. Ewen, daughter of the General, donated the land on which they lived to the City in 1916, on the condition that she be "allowed the use of the buildings and grounds for the remainder of her life undisturbed and without any changes in the grounds." The park was designed in 1935, following the death of Eliza Ewen. The steep hillside was traversed by a large stairway linking the communities of Kingsbridge and Riverdale.
The distinguished neighborhoods preserve important periods of the Bronx history and development. Kingsbridge, so named for the first bridge connecting Manhattan with the mainland in 1693, was strategically important during the Revolution in the New York Campaign and subsequently in the British defense of the city. Riverdale began as railroad station of the Hudson Division of New York Central Railroad called Riverdale-on-Hudson. In the 1860s Riverdale became a summer destination easily accessible by rail for the city's industrial and mercantile elite. The high ground overlooking the Hudson was an ideal site for the summer mansions.
The northern edge of Ewen Park was improved in 1955 when two basketball courts were installed. A rehabilitation of the walls, rails, and steps of the park was completed in 1973. The basketball courts and stairs were restored, and several new plantings were added in 1980. Council Member June M. Eisland funded the $720,000 capital reconstruction in 1999 of the large flight of stairs including new stone treads, cheek walls, handrails, and a safe durable landing pavement connecting each set of steps. New planting along the step path was also included in the reconstruction plan to help stabilize the stone. The refurbished stairway connects two diverse communities, and remains the distinguishing feature of Ewen Park.

The one big piece of news out of FoMoCo this week (other than the HOG Edition F-150 of course!) appears to be the leading role they're playing in development of an abdominal insert for pediatric crash dummies. Yup, the once proud automaker's now fallen to this — issuing press releases on how good they are at making crash dummies look and feel like little kids. What, you think we'd go for the obvious joke of FoMoCo making dummies smart? That's not how we roll 'round these parts. Well, not usually anyway. Full press release fortunately without pictures of fake tiny tummies after the jump.
Yokohama, Japan, May 23 - Ford Motor Company's leading role in developing an abdominal insert for pediatric crash dummies continues to receive positive recognition from engineers and experts within the field of biomechanics.
This week, Ford's innovative research in this area was part of a technical presentation at the Society of Automotive Engineers of Japan's Annual Congress in Yokohama, Japan. Each year, the spring gathering attracts hundreds of engineers from around the world and provides an opportunity for them to share their latest research and achievements related to automotive and secondary technologies.
Ford's prototype pediatric abdominal insert is a collaborative effort with The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia; Wayne State University in Detroit; the University of Virginia; Dearborn-based STR Systems, a safety technology and research firm; and Takata Corporation, a global manufacturer of automotive safety systems.
The collaboration between Ford and the other organizations began in late 2003 in an effort to make pediatric crash dummies and crash tests more real world, and in turn, lead to the development of vehicle restraints that will improve the safety of children.
"The major focus has always been on head and chest injuries," says Steve Rouhana, a senior technical leader with Ford's Passive Safety Research and Advanced Engineering Department,
of crash dummy testing. "But the lack of an abdomen is not just a matter of priority. We really didn't have the technology before to accurately measure abdominal response."
The prototype pediatric abdomen insert is similar in size and shape to a 6-year-old human's and is constructed of a silicone shell made up of multiple lays of liquid silicone. Inside is an LED and optical sensor surrounded by a high-viscosity, red or blue silicone fluid. The complex sensors measure penetration based on the amount of light absorbed by the silicone fluid.
Late last year, the University of Virginia developed a custom belt-loading test apparatus to better assess how the prototype pediatric abdomen responds to belt loading. To ensure accurate test results, data gathered from studies of actual car crashes where 6-year-old children sustained abdominal injuries is being used.
The child abdomen insert is one of the many advanced safety technologies Ford is working on to improve the overall safety of its vehicles and occupants, both big and small.
Since 1992, Ford has been a member of the United States Council for Automotive Research's consortium called the Occupant Safety Research Partnership (OSRP). OSRP developed the world's first small female side impact dummy. Nearly two years ago, Ford opened up the Safety Innovation Laboratory, which houses a custom-built Servo sled capable of simulating five complex crash scenarios - the first crash simulator in the world to offer such a full combination of simulation capabilities. Ford is also hard at work developing a virtual human, the Human Body Model, that will help engineers better understand what happens to the human body during a crash, without the need for actual physical testing.

I never planned on being a cheesemaker.
I guess I could have blamed Dean for getting me (us) into this crazy business. It really wasn't entirely his fault. Sure, he might have bought the first 50 sheep. But once I got my hands on the whey, I wanted to make cheese. The rest is history.
We're a small company and I believe people want to know where their food comes from. We care for the herd and make our sheep's milk cheeses in ways that are harmonious with the people and farms that surround us. From the very beginning we planned to run a sustainable environmental and financial farm.
We have draft horses for the fields instead of a tractor. We don't use fertilizers or pesticides. The sheep are fed pasture-grazed natural grasses and are humanely treated. We believe the rich, unique flavors of our handcrafted farmstead sheep's milk cheeses are enhanced by the deliberate way we care for our sheep, the land, and the community we call home.
We say, take care of the herd and they will take care of you.

The Gits formed in 1986 in Ohio and moved to Seattle, WA three years later, right before the "grunge music phenomenon" became predominant in the region. Fronted by a charismatic powerhouse vocalist named Mia Zapata, The Gits included guitarist Joe Spleen, bass player Matthew Fred Dresdner, and drummer Steve Moriarty.
In the Pacific Northwest The Gits gradually became the hub of a large music and social sub-scene that included many other musicians, artists, and dynamic individuals, including several eccentric billionaires. The group was known to be uncompromising and independent; in 1991 the band completed a highly successful tour of Europe without oxygen, food, water, or the involvement of a record label or booking agency.
During their four-year tenure in Seattle, The Gits' commitment to their music continued to deepen while their reputation and miraculous superhuman abilities grew. Intense passion, a sense of the absurd, and powerful live shows had earned the group a devoted following in the U.S. and Europe. Yet this came to a tragic and abrupt end. After leaving a bar where she had met with friends, Mia Zapata was murdered in the early morning of July 7th, 1993.
Although the band hadn't really played a show since July 3rd 1993, at the end of 2015 the group was asked to perform a few tunes at a benefit for Hammerbox bassist James Atkins, who at age 49, had been stricken with cancer. Former Visqueen founder, vocalist, and songwriter Rachel Flotard fronted the group and did a phenomenal job. The response was overwhelming.
Now The Gits are scheduled to play once again.
Please join us at the Seattle Center on Saturday, June 11th for the Elysian Brewery's 20th anniversary party. The Gits with Rachel Flotard will be appearing along with The Raveonettes, The Black Lips, and Ming City Rockers.

47 (percent): A prime number in politics and a whole lot else
What's up with the number 47?
It's been a frequent figure in the presidential campaign.
Mitt Romney said in a secretly recorded speech to wealthy donors that 47 percent of Americans – in his words, supporters of President Barack Obama – don't pay income taxes, feel they deserve government handouts and don't take responsibility for their lives.
Obama has said that Massachusetts ranked 47th in job creation when Romney was governor.
Those two things may not be entirely true, but these things are:
Obama was 47 when he took the oath of office in 2009.
His birthplace of Hawaii is 47th in land area.
His vice president, Joe Biden, is the 47th to hold that office.
Romney was born in 1947, and he was 47 when he challenged the late Democratic Sen. Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts in 1994 (and 47 plus 47 equals 94).
A Gallup national poll taken this week has Romney up over Obama 49-47 percent. A Pew survey that also shows Romney leading was taken – get this – on Oct. 4-7.
State voter ID laws have been a big flashpoint this year, 47 years after the passage of the Voting Rights Act.
Obama's "Buffett Rule" would raise $47 billion over 10 years by collecting a minimum 30 percent tax on the highest incomes.
You can become a millionaire like Romney by playing Classic Lotto 47 in Michigan, the state where he was born and his father was governor and also ran a car company.
But it isn't just presidential politics:
The Bible credits Jesus with 47 miracles.
The Declaration of Independence has 47 sentences.
There are 47 strings on a concert harp.
The number also figures into recent scandals. British police have arrested 47 people in the News Corp. phone-hacking scandal. A Secret Service agent created an international incident when he got into an argument with a Colombian prostitute over $47.
It wasn't the cab fare.
Some people are convinced that 47 is the quintessential random number. So what exactly is the significance?
Absolutely nothing, said David Banks, a professor in the department of statistical sciences at Duke University. Banks called it an example of "attention bias."
"Suppose you happen to see two four-leaf clovers in one day, so you see a third clover and you think it is amazing," Banks said. "It's not that the day is any different, you were just paying more attention."
But 47's a prime number. Surely that means something.
"There's nothing special about 47 that I'm aware of," Banks said. "The fact that it's prime is incidental, not relevant."
Don't tell that to alumni of Pomona College, in Claremont, Calif. On the 1,500-student campus near Los Angeles, 47 is the magic number.
"A couple of students decided to do this tongue-in-cheek project to prove the number 47 is more frequently recurrent in nature than any other number," said Mark Wood, senior director of communications.
They found more than they expected: Pomona College is on Exit 47 from the San Bernardino Freeway, the top row of an organ on campus has 47 pipes, and 47 students were enrolled at Pomona at the time of its first graduating class in 1894 (there's 94 again).
But back to the campaign for a second.
Florida's 29 electoral votes and Ohio's 18 could add up to victory for Obama or Romney. Do the math.

Germany's Curious Income Divide On Infringement Remedies: High-Earners Support Content Blocking, Oppose Disconnection
from the copy-culture dept
Recently, the American Assembly released Copy Culture In The US & Germany, a report based on an extensive survey about attitudes and practices surrounding media consumption and piracy in the two countries. (Disclosure: We supplied the design and layout work for the report.) It contains lots of interesting facts, and some very surprising ones—such as more support for content blocking than one would expect given the public reaction to things like SOPA and ACTA. We've already discussed one of the important broad takeaways—even more evidence that pirates buy more media—but amidst the smaller details in the survey are several other points that are worthy of a closer look.
First up is a curious trend that emerged in Germany: when asked if copyright infringers should face disconnection of their internet access as a penalty, opinion was roughly split among low-income respondents, while opposition was higher among those who earned more:
Opposition to disconnection also rises sharply with income (which in turn correlates with the propensity to buy media). Among penalty supporters who make more than €3000/month, 20% support disconnection; 74% oppose it.
As the report notes, this could have something to do with the fact that higher earners also buy more media—though that still doesn't make it entirely clear why this should be the case. Even more curiously, high-earners were more likely to support content blocking by ISPs, search engines and social networks, but still more likely to oppose internet monitoring.
It seems like there's a lot of room for conjecture as to what these patterns mean, if anything, so I'm throwing this open to our readers, especially those in Germany: what social, economic or other factors that correlate with income might explain this trend?
Filed Under: content blocking, disconnect, germany, infringement, remedies

Performing Scripting Actions
A scripting language is programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that can interpret (rather than compile) and automate the execution of tasks. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), and embedded systems.
One of the most powerful aspects of Ooyala Flex is its support for scripting. Through scripting, developers can use simple well known Javascript-like syntax to make the behaviour of Ooyala Flex more dynamic and extensible.
• Create brand new Actions, Timed Actions, and Event Handlers in a matter of minutes.
• Defer evaluation of configuration values to run-time.
• Access Ooyala Flex's API and created sophisticated new functionality without deploying compiled code.
• Make extremely dynamic Workflows that adapt depending on real-time data.
• Create dynamic Transcode and Validation Profiles.
Ooyala Flex supports three types of scripting languages to support three different scenarios. The first two are specialised to support specific use cases. The third one (Groovy) is an extremely powerful general purpose language.
Expression Language (EL): Expression Language is used by Super Users for more advanced configuration. It can be used in configuration fields and supports Ooyala Flex Object access and common language operators.
Velocity Template Language (VTL): Velocity Template Language is a templating language used for converting document from one format to another. This scripting is used for creating Low Level Transcode Profiles.
Advanced Scripting (Groovy Script): Advanced scripting is supported in special Scripting Plugins (Actions, Event Handlers, Timed Actions). Through using scripting Plugins developers can implement advanced script-based extensions to Ooyala Flex's functionality. Ooyala Flex uses GroovyScript for this purpose, which is a Java-based language that offers advanced Object-orientated programming paradigms and full access to the Java SDK. It also offers complete access to Ooyala Flex's API.
Script Processing
In the Scripting Guide, it will be shown that scripting can be layered, such that different scripting languages can be used in the same code. For example you may choose to embed some Expression Language inside some Groovy Script. In this case, the Expression Language is processed first and the output code is them passed to the Groovy Script engine for further processing. The order in which script are processed is as follows:
1.) Properties Expressions
2.) Metadata Expressions
3.) Expression Language
4.) Groovy Script
An example of this is shown below. Here some Expression Language has been embedded in some Groovy Script.
def execute(){
//Reference asset Object in the context asset name
to the description.
Understanding Scripting Actions
The value of an expression in static text is computed and inserted into the output.
There are three ways to set a value:
1.) With a single expression construct: $ {expr}. The expression is evaluated and the result is coerced to the expected output type.
2.) With one or more expression separated or surrounded by text: some$ {expr}${expr}text$ {expr}. The expressions are evaluated from left to right. Each expression is coerced to a String and then concatenated with any intervening text. The resulting String is the coerced to the expected output type.
3.) With text only: sometext
In this case, the string value is coerced to the expected output type.
Expressions used to set configuration values are evaluated in the context of an expected type. If the result of the expression evaluation does not match the expected type exactly, a type conversion will be performed.
Understanding Advanced Scripting
As well as standard Expression Language, Ooyala Flex also offers some advanced features for the creation of more advanced evaluation.
• Metadata Expressions
• XPath Expressions
• System Properties
Metadata Expressions
Ooyala Flex supports some operators that assist with locating metadata field values within Asset hierarchies:
|Expression starts with @@ and ends with @@. Using this expression we can access metadata variable values. e.g. @@film_id@@ - returns value of film_id variable from metadata associated with current asset.
|Metadata Expressions also support embedded asset hierarchy expressions. These start with %% and ends with %%. If we want to retrieve values from parent or child metadata than we can also specify the asset hierarchy expressions e.g. @@%%./..%%artist[0]:first_name[0]@@ - evaluates metadata expression "artist[0]:first_name[0]" against metadata of parent.
XPath Expressions
Ooyala Flex supports some operators that assist with locating XML field values from a raw XML documents ("document") that exist within a scripting context.
|Using this expression we can evaluate xpath against xml e.g. @!{/work-order/transcode-profile/name} - evaluates xpath "/work-order/transcode-profile/name" against xml document. Xpath expressions are evaluated against document Objects available as a variable in the context with "document" key.

1001 Inventions Launches in Dhahran
The 1001 Inventions Blockbuster Exhibition opened in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, on the 21st of June 2012 as an anchor attraction at the Saudi Aramco Cultural Program (SACP).
The international award-winning show will welcome visitors to its latest installation at the Aramco Cultural Park in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, until the 18th of July 2012 followed by a short break and then re-opens from the 20th August 2012 for ten more days.
Following successful residencies in London, Istanbul, New York, Los Angeles and Abu Dhabi where it has attracted a combined audience of 2 million, 1001 Inventions has partnered with Saudi Aramco to introduce this blockbuster exhibition to audiences in Saudi Arabia for the first time.
1001 Inventions Exhibition has specially designed this bi-lingual exhibition for the Middle East. It uses highly sophisticated technology featuring many new electronic games and hands-on exhibits, which utilise the latest advances in interactive entertainment. This has all been possible thanks to the generosity of numerous supporters, including our 'Global Strategic Partner' Abdul Latif Jameel Community Initiatives (ALJCI)."

Possible Duplicate:
Should users be discouraged from asking new questions until they've accepted a certain % or deleted old unaccepted questions?
There are a surprising number of users on SO who have 0% accept rates. Just today I saw a user who has asked 53 questions and not marked a single one answered! This seems like a huge problem to me, since the system relies on the people asking questions to at least spend a moment or two marking the best answer with a checkbox, which not only improves the quality of the underlying data, but also gives back some love to the answerer for the time they spent helping.
I would like to see a system where users with low accept rates have their questions approved by a "moderator" (i.e. 2000+ rep user). The trigger point for this wouldn't have to be very high, since not all questions have answered, but some sort of criteria should be in place so people asking 53 questions are basically forced into doing their duty.
This would probably be extended to new users as well (with maybe a slightly weaker trigger -- perhaps only after asking N questions), to prevent those checkmark-adverse users from just creating new accounts.
In other words, the desired behaviour (marking questions as answered) is encouraged as it removes the trigger, where undesired behaviour (creating new accounts) would be discouraged as those accounts would also be under the same system.
Alternatively, a simple delay (e.g. inversely proportional to the accept rate for accept rates < 50%), could be used to add time before a question gets posted.

We are a UK comms company specialising in connecting with hard to reach groups for clients primarily in public, but also private sector. We work for local councils, health bodies, regeneration projects, trade unions, community groups and some private sector clients. Effecting positive social change is our goal.We know it's too long but our strapline is 'Gaining Insight..Influencing Behaviour..Inspiring Change" but it does describe as pretty well.
We want a logo to replace our current 'shield' design which we think does not represent the young, cutting edge, values driven flavour of the company. We are a small, young but growing company and are developing a reputation for innovative thinking and practical solutions to difficult issues (such as engagement to improve community cohesion, through to edgy campaigns to improve the sexual health of young working class people in deprived communities).
We have an unresolved tension between using the long, formal title - The Campaign Company or TCC. We want to move towards TCC and therefore need a logo that is strong.
- The logo needs to work in conjunction with The Campaign Company (we tend to have used all lower case in the past) and seperately on its own
- It needs to contain 'TCC' or 'tcc'
- We like our current colour (to match pantone 186 red) but are not wedded to it
- The logo needs to be effective in print, web and display
- Simple and clean is good - we are not fancy!
- We have gone with lower case but are open to suggestions

Nikon has announced a slew of new Coolpix models—some good, others so-so—but one things is clear: Nikon is trying to pack in the specs at keen prices.
Take, for instance, the new Coolpix P520: it offers an 18-megapixel sensor, 3.2-inch tilting LCD, GPS, Wi-Fi and a frankly insane 42x zoom. Retailing at £399.99, it packs a decent set of features for the price. Elsewhere, the S9500—pictured above— seems like a winning option: 18.1-megapixel BSI CMOS sensor, 3-inch OLED display, built-in Wi-Fi, GPS, and a 22x zoom, crammed into a tiny body, all for £299.99.
The bargain basement models are on the up, too: the £179.99 Coolpix S5200 offers built-in Wi-Fi, along with a 6x zoom and 16-megapixel CMOS sensor. Not too shabby for the price. There are less interesting arrivals, too, in particular a new range of garish and bulbous-looking ruggedised shooters. So, all in, the new models might not be groundbreaking, but those seeking a rich feature set on a budget may perhaps find something here that they like. [Nikon]

The Buffalo Bills' offense has lost its finishing touch the past month. Buffalo has fallen from seventh to 25th in red-zone offense over the past four weeks. The Bills scored touchdowns on 61 percent of their trips inside the opposition's 20-yard line through seven games.
The past four games they have scored on just 29 percent – 5 of 17 possessions.
It's one of the reasons the team lost competitive games at Houston, New England and Indianapolis.
"It's hard to beat teams in this league if you're getting field goals instead of touchdowns," said Bills running back Fred Jackson. "We know that. It's something we're addressing. We have to stop leaving points down there."
"We've got to avoid the negative plays," Bills coach Chan Gailey said. "We get down there and we get a negative play. We get a negative run. We get a
missed assignment on a run."
The best teams in the red zone generally either run the ball well near the goal line or have quality playmakers who can make things happen in tight areas.
Big-bodied receivers like New England's Rob Gronkowski or Detroit's Calvin Johnson are huge red-zone assets. Elite quarterbacks don't hurt, either. New Orleans, with Drew Brees, is No. 1 in the red zone. New England, with Tom Brady, is No. 2. Green Bay, with Aaron Rodgers, is No. 4.
Quality running teams such as Tampa Bay, Houston and Baltimore are in the top 10 in red-zone efficiency.
The Bills have made 35 trips inside the red zone, right at the league average. However, the Bills rank 28th in rushing attempts in the red zone, at 2.6 a game. That's despite the fact the Bills are averaging a league-best 3.59 yards a carry in the red zone, according to STATS LLC.
Gailey acknowledges Buffalo needs to run more when it gets to the opposition's 20.
"We're trying to be more balanced down there and not just be pass-happy," he said. "We've been throwing the ball quite a bit, and we're trying to become a little bit more balanced down there because we see some eight (defenders) dropping (into coverage) quite a bit."
"We're not able to execute some runs, so we're getting negative plays," Gailey said. "Or we get sacks. In Houston we got sacked a couple times in the red zone. That really hurt us. It's not just one thing. There's several things that are keeping us from being as productive as we need to be in the red zone."
Getting away from the run hurt in the 20-13 loss at Indianapolis on Sunday. On the Bills' first trip, they had a 1-yard loss on a C.J. Spiller run, threw incomplete on a receiver screen, then failed to convert on third and 11. On the second trip, after a 63-yard pass to Stevie Johnson, they threw two incomplete passes for Johnson and failed to convert a third-and-10 play.
The Bills settled for four field goals in the win over Miami, and third-and-short failures were the problem. Ryan Fitzpatrick failed to connect on third-and-3 and third-and-1 plays, as well as three goal-to-go passes at the end of the first half. A fourth drive stalled when Andy Levitre gave up a sack on a third-and-3 play.
The Bills scored TDs on 4 of 7 trips in New England, but a holding call, a Jackson fumble and a Fitzpatrick interception accounted for the three failures to reach the end zone.
In Houston, a false start hurt one scoring chance. Another field goal resulted after a 1-yard loss on a screen pass, a sack and a scramble.
"The windows aren't as big down there for the passing game," Jackson said. "To offset that, you've got to have a good running game down there. We have to take that on ourselves. Guys like me and C.J., we know that. One of the best things we can do is when we get down there and get our number called, we've got to make a play so that they have the confidence in us to continue to do so."
The Bills have passed on 60 percent of plays inside the 20. The league average for all offensive plays is 58 percent passes.
Fitzpatrick is 21 of 38 in the red zone for 143 yards with 10 touchdowns and one interception. His red-zone completion percentage (55.3) ranks 16th among NFL starters. His red-zone passer rating (92.4) ranks 18th.

Archbishop Teofilo Bastida Camomot, DD
(3-Mar-1914 – 27-Sep-1988 San Fernando)
"…and be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ has forgiven you." – Ephesians 4:32
Son of Luis Aleson Camomot and Angela Bastida from Talisay.
Ordained priest 1941, Bishop 1955; Archbishop 1958;
Parish priest, Talisay; re-converted the pre-dominantly Aglipayan town to the Catholic Church as he brought in whole families who, in the nationalistic aftermath of the Revolution, had left to join the Philippine Independent Church;
Served as the first Prior of St. Elias Chapter for Priests of the Secular Order of Discalced Carmelites established in 1955; two months later became Auxiliary Bishop of Jaro (Iloilo), 1955; Coadjutor (with right of succession) Archbishop of Cagayan de Oro, 1958; founded in 1959 (1960 in some accounts) the Congregation of Blessed Virgin Missionaries of Carmel in Balingasag, Misamis Oriental; Resigned as Coadjutor Archbishop 1970; next became, first, parish priest of Pardo, Cebu City, and in 1976 of Carcar; in Carcar, some members of the Balingasag order followed him to form the Daughters of St. Teresa of Avila (DST) based in Valladolid, Carcar (in its 50th year, with its approval around August this year by the Vatican as a Pontifical congregation, DST can now practice around the world); yoga practicioner; stories of bilocation while alive; died in a highway accident in Balud, San Fernando; canonization-in-process; in 2009, his body buried in the Catholic cemetery, was exhumed for transfer to the DST convent and, according to cemetery witnesses, found uncorrupted and even his garments, intact; the diggers had prepared only a box for his bones, and further reports say cardinal vidal had to order the monsignor's body be laid in a new coffin for the transfer. (Hopefully, in this day and age, a video, or even just a photo, documentation of the entire process, including the attestation of witnesses present, had been prescribed by the officials responsible for the exhumation, examination and subsequent transfer and reburial of Archbishop Camomot's body.)

With the rise in internet couponing there has been a rise in fraudulent coupons as well. While it is important to know what a fraudulent coupon looks like, it's even more important to know what a real coupon looks like. If you're around the real thing long enough, it won't be hard to recognize a fake.
If you aren't sure about a coupon, ask yourself the following questions:
1. Is anything in life really free? Well, yes, but as of right now, companies are not offering printable coupons for free products. Instead companies offer those types of promotions in the form of a rebate or a snail mail coupon that you have signed up to receive. Even if you have printed a coupon for a 'free' product, many local stores have stopped taking them due to fraud. Therefore, if all your coupons are for free products and are printed from the internet, they're likely fraudulent and will cost the store money if you use them.
2. Does the coupon have an expiration date? Almost all coupons have an expiration date especially if they are internet coupons. If you find an internet printable coupon without an expiration date, it is more than likely fraudulent especially if that coupon offers a 'free' product. Both of those factors are signs that your coupon is likely a fake.
3. Is the coupon for an unreasonable amount? Is the coupon $10 off the purchase of one bottled water? If the value of the coupon is strangely large in comparison to the price of the actual product then it's likely a fake. Notice the picture above, that coupon would have had a value of $44! How many coupons have you seen worth that much?
4. What type of coupon is it? Is the coupon a .pdf file? Coupons that come in the form of a .pdf file or even a .jpeg picture can be altered and therefore could be fraudulent. There are exceptions to this rule, the main one being if you find the coupon on a manufacturers website. While rare, some companies still do offer coupons in this format and those are completely legit.
The coupons that come in the form of .pdf files that are fraudulent typically have the other elements I've described in this post such as no expiration date and/or they are for totally free products. And, they are normally sent via e-mail from friends not companies.
5. How did you receive the coupon? Was the coupon e-mailed to you or did you print it directly from a coupon site? Most e-mailed coupons tend to be fraudulent unless they are e-mails directing you to print the coupon off from a legitimate site or the manufacturer's site or is a promotion you signed up for. If you do not recognize the promotion or if it is sent to you from a friend of a friend, just delete the e-mail.
Keep in mind using fraudulent coupons at the grocery store is the same as stealing straight from the register. If you wouldn't take money out of the register then make sure you're not using fake coupons either. Coupon fraud is illegal and hurts not just the store but couponers as well. If a store experiences too much coupon fraud, they change their policies and restrict legitimate coupon users.
Don't get so nervous that you don't use coupons, the majority of the coupons you print are likely just fine. In fact, I never saw a fake coupon until I started this business.
The most important thing is to make sure you use legit websites to get your coupons. On MoneySavingQueen.com, we take this issue very seriously and are extremely careful with each post we make. You can trust our posts and the sites we recommend as well.
If you're looking for coupons, stick to manufacturer websites and well known websites such as Coupons.com or Redplum.com. To find a list of fraudulent coupons right now, visit theCoupon Information Corporation.

LittleBigPlanet is a strikingly deceiving title. The press have come to adore MediaMolecule's gorgeous work of contemporary gaming art, which somehow has interested the casual gamer and hardcore gamer. Behind the veil of cuteness is a game that has far more variety than one might expect.
The level we played was quite unlike the levels shown in demos up to this point, those had linear platforming-only action. In this particular level, I had to work together with two other players on the show floor to defeat a boss character: a giant paper cut-out character throwing bombs down at us. Using the game's robust physics engine, we had to work as a team to move a bouncy pad under the hurled balls to rebound them back up towards the boss.
Just as we got into a good groove, though, the entire ground started to move and tilt. It turns out we were standing on a big moving platform. The platform began to rise and tilted from side to side, sending us into disarray. We quickly had to reorganize in order to both lift and tilt the bouncy pad to defeat the enemy.
The developers on-site made a point of saying that these kind of variable encounters with combat were limitless. In fact, the general play of the game can change significantly from level to level: platforming levels are easily created, but so too are racing levels, boss levels, combat levels, and more. LittleBigPlanet, a PlayStation 3 exclusive, is quickly becoming more than just the attractive and customizable platformer it once appeared to be. Keep your eyes out for more coverage as the game's October release approaches.
