D-backs send Giants to 6th straight loss, 4-1
PHOENIX (AP) Paul Goldschmidt seems to hit whatever Tim Lincecum throws at him. So does Aaron Hill.
Neither one is about to question why. They're just going to enjoy the success while it lasts.
Hill drove in two runs, and Goldschmidt had two hits off Lincecum, helping the Arizona Diamondbacks send the San Francisco Giants to their sixth straight loss, 4-1 on Friday night.
''You don't want to take it lightly because baseball can turn at any moment,'' said Hill, who is 11 for 19 against Lincecum. ''He is a great pitcher and had a great career, and you don't want to make it sound like it's easy. He's a great pitcher and it's not easy.''
The Giants still lead the NL West, but have lost nine of 10 to see a lead that was once 9 1-2 games dwindle to less than four.
The last-place Diamondbacks extended San Francisco's misery behind a gritty effort by Josh Collmenter (5-4) and by knocking around Lincecum (5-5).
Hill had run-scoring hits in the fourth and fifth innings, and Goldschmidt had a single and double to raise his average to .577 against the two-time Cy Young Award winner.
Collmenter fought through five innings to win for the first time in four starts. Arizona's bullpen picked it up from there.
Three pitchers worked scoreless innings, and Addison Reed had a perfect ninth to close out his 17th save.
It was Arizona's third win in 10 games and another frustrating loss in what is becoming a long stream of them for the Giants.
''It's been that way here through this tough streak,'' Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. ''We are missing the big hit, kind of keep the line moving. We had some great at-bats, stretched him (Collmenter) out, but he dodged some bullets there.''
Collmenter had lost two straight starts, allowing six runs in six innings against the Los Angeles Dodgers his last time out.
The right-hander labored through his night, needing 31 pitches to get through the first. Pablo Sandoval had a run-scoring triple in the inning, chugging his way around the bases after center fielder Ender Inciarte just missed a diving catch in the gap.
Collmenter continued to run up his pitch count, yet found ways to wriggle out of jams. He walked two in the fifth inning and got out of that by striking out Sandoval and getting Michael Morse to fly out to deep center.
Collmenter allowed a run and four hits, struck out four and walked four while throwing a season-high 109 pitches.
''I just continued to battle,'' Collmenter said. ''I don't think I've ever had a clean, crisp outing against these guys for whatever reason. But I felt as good as I have in the last few starts and was able to make some good pitches.''
Lincecum was solid in his previous two starts, allowing five combined runs after giving up eight against Cincinnati on June 3.
Like Collmenter, he struggled. Unlike Collmenter, he didn't always get out of it.
Arizona scored two runs off the right-hander in the fourth inning, on Hill's single and a double by Martin Prado. Arizona added a run in the fifth on a run-scoring triple by Chris Owings, who was thrown out at the plate while trying for an inside-the-park homer.
Hill made it 4-1 with a sacrifice fly that scored Goldschmidt, who improved to 15 for 26 against Lincecum with his second hit of the night, a double off the wall in left-center.
Lincecum allowed four runs and seven hits in six innings.
''I left too many pitches over the plate, and you saw what they did with them,'' Lincecum said.
NOTES: The Diamondbacks signed first-round draft pick Touki Toussaint. Arizona took the right-hander from Coral Springs (Fla.) Christian Academy with the 16th pick in this year's draft. ... Giants OF Angel Pagan missed his fourth straight game with lower back pain, but Bochy said he could be back in the lineup Saturday night. ... Arizona RHP Brandon McCarthy will pitch in the middle game of the series against Giants RHP Ryan Vogelsong.

Florida Vital Records
This entry was originally written by the Florida Pioneer Descendants Certification Program Committee of the Florida State Genealogical Society, Inc. for Red Book: American State, County, and Town Sources, and updated by Robert T. Koehler.
The Department of Health, Bureau of Vital Statistics, P.O. Box 210, Jacksonville, FL 32231-0042, is the agency responsible for maintaining vital records for all vital events occurring in Florida. The Bureau has all birth and death records from 1917 to present, and has some older records that date back to 1865. The Bureau also has all marriage and divorce records from June 1927 to the present. While marriage, divorce and death records are public record and can be obtained by any member of the public, birth records are confidential and can only be obtained by the child named on the record (if of legal age), or by one of the parents or legal representatives of the child. Birth records that are over one hundred years old can be obtained by any member of the public. Applications should be submitted on standard forms available at the above address or online at its website.
As an alternative, birth or death certificates can also be ordered from the local county health department, and can usually be obtained in person on the same day. Contact information for each county is available at www.doh.state.fl.us/chdsitelist.htm. The local county offices can provide computer certifications of all birth records from 1917 to present, and can usually provide recent years of death records. Marriage, divorce, or annulment records can be obtained from the local county courthouse; contact information for county courthouses can be found at http://myfloridacounty.com (see also Florida County Resources).
Indexes to vital records (excluding birth) are available on microfiche and can be found at various libraries throughout Florida and the U.S. For a listing of holdings, visit the Florida State Genealogical Society website. In addition <www.ancestry.com> has some marriage and divorce indexes and most of the death indexes.
Birth registration began in 1917, and scattered records from 1865 through 1916 are at the Bureau of Vital Statistics. Some county health departments have additional records not recorded with the state. For example, Pensacola birth and death records, between 1891 and 1910, are available through The Family History Library (FHL) in Salt Lake City.
Birth records in Florida are issued in two different formats: computer certifications, and book copies. Computer certifications are legally accepted by all state and federal agencies and contain the most pertinent details taken from the original record. Most county health departments are capable of issuing birth certifications from this computer database. Book copies are certified copies of the actual birth certificate completed at the time of birth. In most cases, book copies can only be obtained from the state office of the Bureau of Vital Statistics.
Delayed birth certificates are issued either by a court or administratively through Vital Statistics, to those whose births were never recorded with the Bureau of Vital Statistics. Generally, the first year of delayed registration began in approximately 1942. In most cases, such records can only be obtained from the state office. Copies of these delayed birth certificates are available at the Florida State Archives for fourteen counties.
Death records begin about 1877, but the first state law mandating registration of deaths was passed in 1899. Records before 1917 are spotty. It is always best to check with the state office first, and if no record is found, then you should check with the local office. Some years ago, for example, the St. Augustine Health Department deposited with the local historical society library a number of 'death certificates and burial permits' written on scraps of paper, prescription blanks, etc., for the late 1870s and early 1880s. Death records are still issued to anyone paying the required fee, but the cause-of-death section of the original certificate is deemed confidential and will not become public information until fifty years after the death date. Direct relatives can obtain copies of the confidential cause-of-death section upon presenting appropriate identification.
Marriage, divorce, and annulment records filed after June 6, 1927 are available at the Office of Vital Statistics. Records for events occurring after 1977 are routinely issued in computer-generated certifications, but book copies of the original records can be obtained upon request. For events prior to 1977, all certifications are book copies. Book copies of marriage records are copies of the original marriage license and certificate of marriage signed by the official who performed the ceremony. Book copies of divorce or annulment records are copies of the report filed by the Clerk of Circuit Court. This report is not a copy of the original divorce or annulment decree or judgment, but is rather a one page statement of the parties' names and addresses, the date and place of marriage, and the date and place where the marriage was dissolved or annuled.
For marriage and divorce records prior to June 6, 1927, query the clerk of courts in the county where the license or decree was issued. Numerous county marriage records began as early as the 1820s. Copies of marriage license applications are available only from the clerk of courts in the county courthouse. Standard request forms for copies of state-held records are necessary and available as indicated above.
All certified copies and certifications issued by the Bureau of Vital Statistics are printed on security paper that meets the requirements of the Department of Homeland Security and other state and federal agencies. These certifications do not contain a traditional raised seal, but they do contain an embossed state seal that is embedded into the paper, as well as watermarks of the state seal and the signature of a registrar.
Numerous divorces and resulting name-changes are to be found in currently out-of-print, Names and Abstracts from the Acts of the Legislative Council of the Territory of Florida, 1822'1845 (Pass-A-Grille Beach, Fla.: William A. and Janet B. Wolfe, 1985).
Florida adoption records are sealed. The original papers are filed with the clerk of the circuit court in the county where the adoption took place. Medical background on the birth family is given to the adoptive family at adoption. It can be obtained by the adoptee at age eighteen from the Florida Department of Children and Families, Florida's Adoption Information Center, 4203 Southpoint Boulevard, Jacksonville, Florida 32216.
Since 1982, the Florida Adoption Reunion Registry was established to reunite people affected by adoption. Applications may be obtained from Florida Reunion Registry, 1317 Winewood Boulevard Tallahassee, Florida 32399-0700, or Florida's Adoption Information Center above. There is a one-time fee.

"Masks" is a heart warming little tale about an aspiring young actress who travels to Germany to be taught in a school that was once led by an insane instructor who killed himself after his techniques were banned. From what I can tell those techniques includes forcing people to scream after each other and then have an orgy while covered in blood. For your viewing pleasure a few images and a new trailer has hit the tubes and surprise surprise, it's bat shit insane.
"Yellowbrickroad" has absolutely nothing to do with "The Wizard of Oz" and most of all has no regard for spaces in between words. It does though sound pretty cool and the new trailer that's up looks pretty trippy. The movie focuses on a research group that uncovers a mysterious trail that an entire town went down and disappeared over 70 years ago. I hope there's munchkins at least. Those little fellas are adorable.
To say the last season of "Dexter" was kind of a bummer is putting it mildly but according to the new teaser for Season 6 all hell is going to break loose. The only reason I believe it is because they do a recap of previous seasons in the clip and don't even mention the storyline of season 5. It's like Julia Stiles never existed! It's like I haven't watched "Save the Last Dance" and cried like a baby every Christmas Eve for the last 10 years.
Lastly, tune in to tonight's "Attack of the Show" on G4 to see the brand spanking new trailer for "Final Destination 5". Or don't actually. I'm not going to lose any sleep either way. I can't keep tabs on all you sickos.
Spectators at an Australian horse racing track were injured last week after one of the horses went buck wild and leaped into the audience. I know it's awful isn't it. What makes it even worse is that I can't find a video of it happening anywhere.
Lastly some sad news. Dana Wynter, who played Becky Driscoll in the original 1956 version of "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" passed away last Thursday at the age of 79. She also guested on "Hart to Hart" and "Magnum, P.I." so there's a 75% chance I had a boyhood crush on her.

Hello there..
Any ideas as to how can i move objects?
By velocity do you mean the number of pixels moved per unit of time?i would like to set the velocity of the object
For example: 10 pixels/second
You will need to use a timer to control the time between new positions.
The x,y coordinates java uses for plotting have x increasing to the right (decreasing to the left)
and y increases going down (decreases going up).
If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
Yes..sorry, I wasn't precise..i meant the number of pixels moved per unit of time as you said
--- Update ---
Could you please write an example for me? like a code example? so i could follow it for the rest of the directions as well..
How does the code control the time and the distance that the shape moves?
An example for moving 10 pixels/sec to the left :
If starting location is 100, 10 (x,y)
then one second later
set the location to 90,10
and one second later
set the location to 80,10
and one second later
set the location to 70,10
If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
There is not enough information about what goLeft() should do to make any recommendations.
Where is the code that controls the displaying of the shape that is to move?
If the shape is moving using the normal java x,y coordinates, then to go left you would decrease the x value.
x--; // decrease the x value by 1
If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
If you have Netbeans and JavaFX in your enviroment, then give that a try:
/* * To change this template, choose Tools | Templates * and open the template in the editor. */ package ztest; import javafx.animation.PathTransition; import javafx.animation.Timeline; import javafx.application.Application; import javafx.event.ActionEvent; import javafx.event.EventHandler; import javafx.scene.Node; import javafx.scene.Scene; import javafx.scene.control.Button; import javafx.scene.layout.AnchorPane; import javafx.scene.layout.FlowPane; import javafx.scene.layout.Pane; import javafx.scene.layout.StackPane; import javafx.scene.shape.Circle; import javafx.scene.shape.HLineTo; import javafx.scene.shape.MoveTo; import javafx.scene.shape.Path; import javafx.stage.Stage; import javafx.util.Duration; /** * * */ public class ZTest extends Application { private PathTransition pathTransition; private static final int WIDTH_WINDOW = 500; private static final int HEIGHT_WINDOW = 100; /** * Pure data object. Resposible for holding the values of a velocity */ public static class VelocityInPixelsPerSecond { private final int pixels; private final int seconds; public static VelocityInPixelsPerSecond getInstance(int _pixels, int _seconds) { return new VelocityInPixelsPerSecond(_pixels, _seconds); } private VelocityInPixelsPerSecond(int _pixels, int _seconds) { this.pixels = _pixels; this.seconds = _seconds; } public int getPixels() { return pixels; } public int getSeconds() { return seconds; } } /** * @param args the command line arguments */ public static void main(String[] args) { launch(args); } /** * Called by JavaFC application * @param primaryStage */ @Override public void start(Stage primaryStage) { primaryStage.setTitle("Velocity Example"); Pane root = new FlowPane(); VelocityInPixelsPerSecond velocity = VelocityInPixelsPerSecond.getInstance(400, 2); Node node = iniCircle(velocity); root.getChildren().add(node); primaryStage.setScene(new Scene(root, WIDTH_WINDOW, HEIGHT_WINDOW)); primaryStage.show(); pathTransition.play(); } /** * * Create a Node/Circle. Cirlce extends Node indirectly. * * @param _velocity Param Object for the velocity * @return a Circle, which is added to the class var pathTransition */ private Node iniCircle(final VelocityInPixelsPerSecond _velocity) { //Create the circle Circle rect = new Circle(); rect.setRadius(20); //Create the path, where the circle will move Path path = new Path(); path.getElements().add(new MoveTo(10, 10)); // the lenght of the way of the path, setted by the pixels of velocity path.getElements().add(new HLineTo(_velocity.getPixels())); // Create a special JavaFX object, it 'controls' the movement pathTransition = new PathTransition(); //set the duration of the movement pathTransition.setDuration(Duration.seconds(_velocity.getSeconds())); pathTransition.setPath(path); pathTransition.setNode(rect); pathTransition.setCycleCount(Timeline.INDEFINITE); return rect; } }
It moves to the right, though but I hope it helps
Where is the object being drawn on the GUI? To move the object to the left, decrement its x location value.
If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
As far as I can see, the methods of GameObject class are intended to set the the position and velocity variables of the GameObject. These variables should later be used in the update() abstract method.
So, the implementation of these setters is pretty straightforward:
However, here are few remarks. At first, these methods must not be static. If they are static, than you will not be able to set the object-scope variables vx and xy.public void setVelocityY(double f) { vy = f; } public void setVelocityX(double f) { vx = f; }
Second, vx and vy are double, and the f is float. I recommend to use the same type for both, 'cause if you don't, than in future you may encounter some errors with precision (namely, float is less precise than double).
Third, I can't understand, what's the purpose of setVelocityX1()'s existence
Once you've implemented all the GameObject methods (btw, you'll need to subclass it, 'cause it's an abstract class), you can implement ControllableObject methods.
First, it would be quite reasonable to provide a constructor with the objectToWrap argument - for simplicity.
The setter method, setObject() has exactly the same body as this constructor.public ControllableObject(GameObject objectToWrap) { object =objectToWrap; }
The implementation of goLeft() is also straightforward. Namely, you just have to set the GameObject's velocity of X axis to some negative value (if the positive direction of the X axis is directed rightwards):
Here, I've added one argument, double speed. It's for convenience, using it, you can specify the exact velocity.public void goLeft(double speed) { object.setVelocityX(-speed); }
Finally, the stop() method's job is just to set all the speeds to 0:
public void stop() { object.setVelocityX(0); object.setVelocityY(0); }
Also, I recommend you to read the official java tutorial and to use Java API Javadocs for exclusive description of all the standard classes.

Lost New Hampshire hunter found safe
October 08, 2012 at 09:56 AM
MARLOW, N.H. (AP) — A hunter who got lost in the woods in Marlow, N.H., has been found safe.
The New Hampshire Fish and Game department says 31-year-old Eric Nutting of Charlestown was deer hunting behind a friend's home in Marlow Saturday afternoon. His family reported him missing around 9:30 p.m., and conservation officers found him around 1:15 a.m. Sunday about a half mile from his car.
With the arrival of the fall hunting season, officials are warning hunters to prepare for the unexpected by carrying a flashlight, map and compass.

Inadequate Milk Supply
By Barbara Wilson-Clay, BSEd, IBCLC
Concern over low milk supply is the number one reason mothers give for discontinuing breastfeeding. Because we live in a bottle-feeding culture, it can be difficult for first-time mothers to trust in a process they cannot easily measure. It is reassuring to learn that most women are physically capable of making enough milk for their babies to be healthy and happy.
The first few weeks after giving birth are a critical time for establishing the milk supply. During this time, frequent, thorough emptying of the breasts sets and controls the level of milk production. The milk supply can rapidly drop if the baby is too weak or small to adequately stimulate this process, or is not latched on well. The milk supply will also be affected if engorgement is not relieved or if the baby is not breastfeeding often enough. Giving the baby a bottle at night so the new mother can sleep may sound reasonable, but it often leads to a low milk supply down the road. A better way to help the new mother is to encourage her to rest with her baby at the breast, provide her with good nutrition, and free her from household duties so she can get breastfeeding off to a good start.
Most mothers find that they have plenty of milk for their babies, even as baby grows into an active toddler. Sometimes, in spite of good support and the mother's best efforts, there is a real problem with milk supply. In rare cases, hormonal imbalances during adolescence have affected breast growth and development. Conditions such as Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, thyroid disorders, chest surgery, or invasive breast surgery can create problems with full milk production. Severe dietary restrictions during pregnancy and lactation can affect some women's milk supplies, as can smoking or overuse of alcohol.
Excessive loss of blood during delivery and anemia can both reduce milk production until the mother recovers. If a fragment of the placenta remains in the uterus it will prevent full milk production until it is passed or removed. Some medical conditions such as diabetes can delay full milk production for several weeks. Typically, lack of frequent and effective removal of milk from the breasts, along with infections, fatigue and excessive stress are the major causes of early problems with milk supply. Some medications, especially head cold remedies, may dramatically reduce milk supply.
It is important to remember that babies fuss for reasons other than hunger, but any mother with concerns about her milk supply deserves the reassurance of a weight check to make sure her infant is growing well.
If a problem does exist, remember that most causes of low milk supply can be corrected with assessment and help from your lactation consultant. Your doctor can select antibiotics that are safe for the nursing infant to treat any infections. Low milk supply generally improves with more rest, improved diet, reduction of stress, and improved management of lactation. Your physician and lactation consultant can suggest herbs or prescription medications that may boost your milk production, and breast pumping is often suggested to re-stimulate the milk supply.

RTC Conference Primers: #12 – Missouri Valley ConferencePosted by Brian Goodman on October 25th, 2011
Patrick Marshall of White & Blue Review is the RTC correspondent for the Missouri Valley Conference. You can find him on Twitter @wildjays.
Reader's Take I
Top Storylines
- Back to Multiple Bids?: The Missouri Valley Conference is getting a little more attention entering this season than in the past, and rightfully so. Six of the top ten scorers in the league are back along with four of the top five rebounders. The league is looking to have the impact it had back in the 2005-06 season, when it sent four teams to the NCAA Tournament. Since then, only the automatic qualifier from the MVC Tournament has advanced to The Dance. With so many talented upperclassmen, there could be an opportunity for The Valley to get closer to that status of six years ago.
- Kyle Weems or Doug McDermott?: There are a lot of people that have probably forgotten that Kyle Weems of Missouri State was the MVC Player of the Year last season with all the buzz that Creighton's Doug McDermott received over the summer. Going into 2011-12, one hotly-debated topic is whether Weems can repeat or if McDermott will build upon his MVC Freshman of the Year performance. McDermott was only the second freshman in the 100-year-plus history of the MVC to get first team all-conference honors. Weems tried to lead Missouri State to the NCAA Tournament, but came up just short. Due to the personnel losses by the Bears, including their coach, and all of the returning players for the Bluejays, can Weems surprise the "experts" and have even better success to repeat?
- New Ford Center: Evansville will start the season in a new downtown arena, the Ford Center. They open it in style with in-state powers Butler and Indiana visiting to start the season. This building represents the continual facility improvements for the Missouri Valley Conference member schools. Creighton started the trend with the Qwest Center (recently renamed CenturyLink Center). Northern Iowa followed suit with its own basketball building in the McLeod Center. Missouri State opened JQH Arena a couple years later and in Wichita, a new arena was built to complement Koch Arena as a place where the Shockers can play a game or two a year. Southern Illinois spent almost $30 million to renovate SIU Arena. So if you are looking for a conference that keeps upgrading the basketball environment like a major conference, this is where you should go.
- Scheduling Philosophies: In the past, the MVC member schools would hold back a game on their schedules to try to get a home-and-home series against a high-major school. Although this has worked out in the past, it sort of backfired this season. As a result, many of the final games scheduled for each team will come against a non-Division I school, and in other cases, a game was not even scheduled, leaving a gap between the end of the regular season slate and the conference tournament. Creighton and Illinois State chose to schedule one game fewer than the number of games they could have scheduled while the rest of the schools scheduled the likes of Loras College, Emporia State, Upper Iowa, Maryville and others as a regular season game on the schedule. With almost 350 teams in Division-I, that isn't a good sign for a non-major, major conference.
Predicted Order of Finish

About this blog…
"This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque 'salon' with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West "saloon" with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven." – Fr. Z

As for Latin…
"But if, in any layman who is indeed imbued with literature, ignorance of the Latin language, which we can truly call the 'catholic' language, indicates a certain sluggishness in his love toward the Church, how much more fitting it is that each and every cleric should be adequately practiced and skilled in that language!" - Pius XI
"Let us realize that this remark of Cicero (Brutus 37, 140) can be in a certain way referred to [young lay people]: 'It is not so much a matter of distinction to know Latin as it is disgraceful not to know it.'" - St. John Paul II

Today is Wednesday, March 13, the 72nd day of 2013. There are 293 days left in the year.
Today's Highlight in History:
On March 13, 1933, banks in the U.S. began to reopen after a "holiday" declared by President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
On this date:
In 1639, New College was renamed Harvard College for clergyman John Harvard.
In 1781, the seventh planet of the solar system, Uranus, was discovered by Sir William Herschel.
In 1862, President Abraham Lincoln signed a measure prohibiting Union military officers from returning fugitive slaves to their owners.
In 1901, the 23rd President of the United States, Benjamin Harrison, died in Indianapolis at age 67.
In 1925, the Tennessee General Assembly approved a bill prohibiting the teaching of the theory of evolution. (Gov. Austin Peay signed the measure on March 21.)
In 1938, famed attorney Clarence S. Darrow died in Chicago.
In 1943, author-poet Stephen Vincent Benet, 44, died in New York. Financier and philanthropist J.P. Morgan, Jr., 75, died in Boca Grande, Fla.
In 1964, bar manager Catherine "Kitty" Genovese, 28, was stabbed to death near her Queens, N.Y. home; the case generated controversy over the supposed failure of Genovese's neighbors to respond to her cries for help.
In 1969, the Apollo 9 astronauts splashed down, ending a mission that included the successful testing of the Lunar Module.
In 1980, Ford Motor Chairman Henry Ford II announced he was stepping down, the same day a jury in Winamac, Ind., found the company not guilty of reckless homicide in the fiery deaths of three young women in a Ford Pinto.
In 1988, yielding to student protests, the board of trustees of Gallaudet University in Washington D.C., a liberal arts college for the hearing-impaired, chose I. King Jordan to become the school's first deaf president.
In 1996, a gunman burst into an elementary school in Dunblane, Scotland, and opened fire, killing 16 children and one teacher before killing himself.
Ten years ago: Forced into a diplomatic retreat, U.S. officials said President George W. Bush might delay a vote on his troubled United Nations resolution or even drop it — and fight Iraq without the international body's backing. The Senate voted 64-33 to ban a procedure that critics called partial birth abortion. (The measure passed the House and was signed into law by President Bush in November 2003.) Norwegian Robert Sorlie won the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog race in nine days, 15 hours, 47 minutes.
Five years ago: The body of Chaldean Catholic Archbishop Paulos Faraj Rahho was found in a shallow grave in northern Iraq, two weeks after he was kidnapped by gunmen in one of the most dramatic attacks against the country's small Christian community. Gold hit a record, rising to $1,000 an ounce for the first time (however, it fell sharply later in the year). Bode Miller clinched the men's overall World Cup ski title in Bormio, Italy.
One year ago: A resurgent Rick Santorum swept to victory in Republican presidential primaries in Alabama and Mississippi. Twenty-two students returning from a ski holiday and six adults died when their bus crashed inside a tunnel in southern Switzerland. A ferry carrying more than 200 people collided with a cargo boat and sank just short of Dhaka, Bangladesh; most on board died. Encyclopaedia Britannica Inc. said it would stop publishing print editions of its flagship encyclopedia. Dallas Seavey, at age 25, became the youngest winner ever of the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race in Alaska.
Today's Birthdays: Jazz musician Roy Haynes is 88. Country singer Jan Howard is 83. Songwriter Mike Stoller (STOH'-ler) is 80. Singer-songwriter Neil Sedaka is 74. Opera singer Julia Migenes is 64.

XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is the basis for the new XHTML. It comes from SGML and is used to represent data in a standard format. The articles and links on this page will help you learn how to use XML on your Web pages and in Web applications. You can use Cascading Style Sheets to style XML tags so that your XML looks exactly as you'd like it to display. CSS works for more than just HTML or XHTML. SGML stands for Standard Generalized Markup Language. It is a language and an ISO standard used to describe information in a document.
After you finish this course, you will understand the basics of XML, what it is, how it works and how you can use it in your work. With interactive lessons and the option to work with other people in the course, you'll be able to learn XML the way you want. Go at your own pace, or follow along with the weekly syllabus. Keep up-to-date with the XML community, find out about new XML articles and information, and just stay focused on this very exciting topic. The About XML Resource Center has all you need to learn and use XML.
XML elements are the tags that are used to create XML documents. XML elements are exactly like HTML elements, except that you can create your own for your own uses. XML attributes describe your elements and are just as important as they are in HTML

Clare Riva '13 and Jake Petzold '12 have certainly got what it takes to thrive as Ath Fellows. They're intellectually curious, well-read and spoken and each possesses a modicum of charisma that just might give them the necessary edge in snagging their dream Ath guest speakers.
Riva is drawn to questions of ethics and applied ethics. "I also like philosophy that deals with the real big questions of life like justice, morality, love, etc.," she says. "I'm intensely interested in anything that touches on those questions."
For his part, Petzold admits he's been on the political career track since the ripe age of 12 or 13. "I can talk about political history or rhetoric for hours on end," he says. "I also love exploring religious ideas and traditions both my own and others'. Toss in music, food (especially Mexican), Los Angeles, and baseball, and I think you've got a pretty good sense of what drives me."
Riva's a Philosophy and Public Affairs major, which, in her estimation, is basically a combination of Philosophy and Government. But she says that could change to straight Philosophy by next year. After graduation, Riva hopes to attend Georgetown Law School.
Petzold's major? Government (as if you had to ask).
"I plan to spend my first year or so out of school working in political communications and speechwriting probably including work on the 2013 mayoral election in Los Angeles," he says. "After that, I think I'm going to go to rabbinical school."
Recently, we fired a round of questions at the new Ath Fellows, and here's what they said. *** Who would you like to book as your dream guest speaker at the Ath? Riva: I would really like to see Senator Tom Daschle at the Ath. He was one of the most prominent political figures in recent memory as both minority and majority leader in the Senate, and now he is a well-respected policy expert. I think he is a figure that would generate really interesting and thoughtful discourse at CMC, without being too polarizing. Petzold: I have a lot, but number one is Jim Wallis, the leader of Sojourners, a progressive
Christian community and magazine, and an icon of the religious left. And like Clare, I'd also really love to see Tom Daschle, the former Senate Majority Leader. Realistically speaking, whom would you like to get to come to the Ath who you think you can get? Riva: Jake and I actually started talking one day about bringing Senator Daschle to the Ath and discovered that we both really want to. I think we might just be determined enough to have a shot at getting him here! More generally, I would also like to see some more speakers next year in the field of art. I think the Ath has this really cool interaction with the art community, for instance through the different painting exhibitions, that students take for granted or don't even know about. So I would like to see that highlighted more. As a personal point of interest, I would also love to see someone come speak about the philosophy of physics, which would also reach two academic interests that are somewhat underrepresented at the Ath. Petzold: Fortunately, I think we can get Reverend Wallis and Senator Daschle. I suppose my somewhat less realistic "dream guest" would be Vin Scully, the legendary Dodgers broadcaster. What does the Ath mean to you personally? Riva: The Ath is the most amazing thing at CMC. We are so lucky to have this resource that exposes us to today's influential thinkers and dialogue that covers the spectrum of political, social, economic, literary, and intellectual perspectives. The sense of community that forms at the Ath is also incredible. I think the intimacy of the whole set-up surprises a lot of visitors to CMC, but it makes dinners and talks so much more personal than they would be in large lecture halls or sterile ballrooms. And since working at the Ath as a server for the past year, I learned that this sense of community extends to the people that keep the Ath running every day. Bonnie and Dave and the Chefs and kitchen workers are so great and welcoming, as are the students that work each night. The Ath and everyone in it have become kind of like a family to me, and I am honored to be able to contribute to the Ath next year as a Fellow. Petzold: It's my favorite part of the CMC experience after the people. I love the Athenaeum because at its core, it is a place for stories. Each night, the Ath hosts a storyteller; sometimes they tell their own stories, sometimes they tell other people's stories. But together they all tell the story of who we are as students and professors, or as economists and historians, perhaps as Americans, or just as people. The speakers and performers tell stories, but so do the students, faculty, and guests as they mingle and dine and engage. From all these narratives emerges a single story of a dynamic institution and the people who make it. What led you to enroll at CMC? Riva: This may sound clich?, but I drove onto campus with my mom and before I even got out of the car I just knew that CMC was the right place for me. It also didn't hurt that CMC is academically very strong in my areas of interest, or that about twenty people that I didn't know smiled and said hi to me when I was touring campus. It is just such a draw to be in an environment where everyone is so passionate about what they do, no matter what that may be. Every day I am awed at the dedication and potential that every one of my peers shows. Petzold: I'm from Los Angeles, and as I started my college selection process, I didn't think in a million years I would go to school so close to home. But I fell in love with what CMC is all about and I valued the institution above its location. I believe strongly in the importance of civil intellectual discourse and in the value of the broadest possible education. I chose to attend CMC because I wanted my ideas challenged and my worldview expanded. And that happens here all the time in the classroom, among friends, and especially at the Athenaeum, which to me is the center of extracurricular intellectual activity at the Claremont Colleges. What was the process like in applying to be an Ath Fellow? Riva: The Ath Fellow application is a two-part process. First, you submit a written application with an essay about why you want the job, a list of speakers you would be interested in bringing to the Ath, a Fortnightly entry for one of them, and a few questions for speakers that have already come to the Ath. The Ath advisory committee reviews these applications, and then chooses a few to be interviewed by a smaller subcommittee. In the interview, you introduce your chosen speaker in addition to fielding questions from the committee members. Like any application process, it was a bit stressful, but I also thought it was pretty fun. Petzold: It was certainly stressful because it's something that really mattered to me, that I really wanted to do. But I also enjoyed the application process; I really like writing and presenting and public speaking and so forth. The application was a chance for me to put to paper for the first time all my thoughts about the Ath that I've had since the first week of my freshman year. What's your favorite book or movie and why? Riva: Wow, so many! I will have to give you two. My favorite books are Dune, by Frank Herbert, and Pride and Prejudice, by Jane Austen. I like Dune because I think it is a really intriguing sketch that brings up questions about morality and political philosophy, as well as a really cool work of science fiction. And I just love the characters in Pride and Prejudice. Petzold: With such a big, daunting question, I suppose the best place to start is to say that Some Like it Hot has been my favorite movie since I was maybe 10 years old. It's hard to say why that's so, but I'll leave it at the fact that Billy Wilder, Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis, and Jack Lemmon are all revered icons and deservedly so. What is the best bit of advice you've ever been given? Riva: My high school physics teacher used to always tell me that the most important thing in making decisions is to do what is right for you, regardless of recognition or peer pressure or what looks good on a resume. I think that is something that it is really important to remind ourselves of every once in a while, especially in this day and age when everyone feels that they need to triple major and go to Harvard grad school in order to be successful or happy. Really, just do what you are passionate about, and success will follow from that. Petzold: The Jewish tradition tells us to pray as if everything depends upon God and act as if everything depends upon ourselves. (The idea is hardly exclusive to Judaism a similar sentiment is attributed to St. Augustine.) I try to live this way.
Meet New Ath FellowsClare Riva '13 and Jake Petzold '12
Clare Riva '13 and Jake Petzold '12 have certainly got what it takes to thrive as Ath Fellows. They're intellectually curious, well-read and spoken and each possesses a modicum of charisma that just might give them the necessary edge in snagging their dream Ath guest speakers.

MONTREAL — I am about to have an ugly showdown with my beauty products.
My bathroom cupboards are empty. I have pulled out every last cosmetic product, so now dozens of plastic bottles and jars are lined up on the bathroom counter. Lotions, moisturizers, hair gels, bubble bath, nail polish remover, sunscreen, lip balms, shampoo -they're all there for inspection.
During the next few days, I will examine the list of ingredients of each and every item, looking for certain key words or syllables, like "paraben," "oxybenzone," "PEG," "-eth," and other hints that these products contain ingredients linked to breast cancer.
Despite the exorbitant amounts I have paid for some of them, and how lovely many of them smell, I expect to be chucking a good number of these products into the garbage (or rather hauling them to the eco-centre since some may qualify as hazardous household waste).
Is this my idea of fun? No. But it is something I have wanted to do for a long time, and I've vowed to get it done in October (which is Breast Cancer Awareness Month).
For years I've been reading studies about this or that ingredient being linked to breast cancer, and it's been a growing worry.
But I've just read a report by The Breast Cancer Fund that has shaken me up enough to prompt this showdown, and inspired me to turn over a new leaf when it comes to choosing cosmetics for myself, and especially for my kids.
The report, called State of the Evidence: The Connection between Breast Cancer and the Environment, is the sixth edition of an increasingly alarming annual roundup of research on environmental causes of breast cancer.
A few citations that stick with me:
- A woman's lifetime risk of breast cancer is now one in eight.
- Between 1973 and 1998, breast cancer incidence rates in the United States increased by more than 40 per cent.
- The average U.S. woman uses 12 personal care products a day, resulting in exposure to 126 unique chemicals.
- Exposure to cosmetics ingredients linked to adverse health effects is of particular concern during phases of rapid development, including pregnancy, infancy and before and during puberty.
I have always thought of myself as low-maintenance in the cosmetics department, so when I read that the average woman uses 12 products a day, I didn't think that was me. But then I started to count: toothpaste, deodorant, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap, face moisturizer, sunscreen, mascara, lip balm, and occasionally concealer and blush. It adds up fast.
I don't believe all cosmetics are bad for us, and I don't believe all chemicals cause cancer. But if we know that certain common ingredients in cosmetics have been linked to cancer, why chance it? When it comes to breast cancer, a lot of risk factors are out of our hands as individuals, factors like genes, air pollution, hormones, pesticides and other chemicals that may be in our foods.
But we can control what we rub into our skin, paint on our faces and fingernails, and massage into our scalps. We don't desperately need to use these products, and there are safer alternatives to the ones that contain the most risky chemicals.
And yes, it is a pain to have to squint at all these lists of ingredients in their tiny type before you buy a shampoo or moisturizer. But considering what's at stake, I think it makes sense to spend some time learning what to avoid, particularly as my daughters start to fall prey to cosmetics advertising.
(My 11-year-old daughter said this to me recently: "Mum, I want Olay Ribbons Body Wash, because it wraps you in ribbons of softness." She was half joking, but we all know that advertising is effective. And according to its label, this product contains several ingredients that the cancer study counsels us to avoid -DMDM hydantoin, PEG-90M and that mysterious ingredient protected by competition rules, "Fragrance.")
I'm trying to teach my kids, and remind myself, that getting adequate sleep and exercise, eating properly, and avoiding alcohol and smoking all affect our appearance much more than cosmetics.
So I am not swearing off all cosmetics, but I do plan to choose the few I use more carefully.
Here are some tips from breast cancer experts as cited in the report:
- Use fewer products.
- Select products with fewer ingredients.
- Beware of products that claim to be "natural" or "organic." Check the ingredients.
- Avoid products with the word "fragrance" in their ingredients list. (Fragrance do not have to be listed, but some, such as synthetic musks, phthalates and ethylene oxide, are known endocrine-disrupting compounds or carcinogens.)
- Buy only nail polish that does not contain the "toxic trio" of toluene, formaldehyde and DBP.
- Avoid anti-aging creams with lactic, glycolic, AHA and BHA acids.
- Avoid liquid hand soaps with triclosan/triclocarban.
Breast Cancer Action Montreal has a "Toxic Twenty" list, ingredients it has identified as the most hazardous to health. For the list, go to femmetoxic.com.
You can read the Breast Cancer Fund's sixth annual State of the Evidence report at www.breastcancerfund.org.
To check a specific product or ingredient, check out the Environmental Working Group's Skin Deep cosmetics safety database. This database rates ingredients or products from one to 10, with 10 being the most risky.

WIPEOUT XL marks the return of the popular futuristic racer to the PlayStation. Just as in the original game, players must race across crazy tracks while driving hovercraft from the future. On top of the racing action, players need to collect weapons in order to take down their closet competitors. This game introduces the Pit, where any player can stop to regain valuable shield energy. There is also a Two-Player mode, enabling two people to take to the course at the same time and determine who is the superior racer. The music from the first game is gone, but this time around there is licensed music from popular bands like as Prodigy and The Chemical Brothers. Everything in WIPEOUT XL has been updated, with weapons that are even more destructive, music that provides even more of an adrenaline rush, and courses that keep players busy for a long time.

After some partition shuffling, I've got a problem on my 11.10 system. The wired ethernet interface fails to come up, although the wireless interface is working. I'm using NetworkManager. I thought this may be a problem with NetworkManager, so I checked the config files, which look ok. I then tried re-installing the package, but this didn't resolve the issues. I'm not sure at this point if the problem is due to software configuration, or a hardware problem. I've also tried the cable in other router ports, but same problem.
The symptoms are:-

Care Delivery Alliance
Click here for a list of Care Delivery Alliance Providers.
Care Delivery Alliance (CDA) is a physician hospital organization (PHO) based in Lake County, Florida, built on a strategy that supports an independent rather than employed physician alignment and engagement model. Within CDA, physician participants maintain their individual practices in accordance with best practices. CDA represents the 1st phase of an evolutionary transition to a clinically integrated network, which gives independent practitioners the added advantage of partnering with other physicians and ancillary health providers and the local health system to improve quality and access for their patients, while better managing the cost associated with delivering that care.
What is a PHO?
A PHO is a vehicle that enables hospitals and physicians to work cooperatively toward accomplishing several objectives. Primary purposes for forming a PHO are developing improved methods of healthcare delivery; overseeing integration of physicians and hospitals into health delivery networks; assisting in voluntary group formation; and collecting, analyzing and disseminating information. Secondary purposes include contracting with managed care organizations with joint risk sharing, developing standards of care, and building trust between hospitals and independent physicians. PHOs are legal entities generally formed by physicians and 1 or more hospitals.
What are the advantages of a PHO?
- Provides an organized approach for physicians and hospitals to work together on managed care issues, such as utilization management and quality improvement.
- Serves as a clearinghouse for certain administrative duties, thus reducing the burden on individual physicians and hospital members.
- Collaborates with managed care companies.
- Establishes reimbursement and risk-sharing approaches that align incentives among all physicians.
- Supports independent physicians and their practices as they face the new challenges of healthcare reform.
Why should I join Care Delivery Alliance?
Because CDA offers a comprehensive network of providers who are collaborating in managing patient care and focused on quality improvement, it can often develop more attractive agreements with managed care plans than individual providers can provide. As membership grows, the large provider network of physicians and hospitals can offer health plans and other payers a significant partner to work with on innovative patient care initiatives. CDA can provide significantly greater value to the health plans than individual physician practices. As a result, payers are willing to offer additional performance incentives for integrated groups of providers who are committed to collaborating to control costs, enhance quality and improve patient satisfaction.
CDA will also offer a growing menu of Practice Management Support Offerings, including various administrative and technology solutions that may be beyond the resources available to individual physicians.
Overall functions of CDA include:
- Maintain and administer a comprehensive provider network.
- Provide an ongoing managed care strategy.
- Create/implement a clinical integration strategy.
- Provide general support to community practice managers.
- Provide a general communications function for the physician community.
- Develop and implement community and employer outreach activities.
- Develop a portfolio of optional practice management services offerings.
What is a clinically integrated network?
With healthcare reform, the need for an organization dedicated to the interests of the physicians supporting Central Florida Health became evident. Both physicians and hospitals recognize the importance of developing some form of collaborative arrangement as the healthcare system moves toward fully integrated networks of service providers. Physician-hospital alignment and clinical integration that is designed to maximize efficiencies and minimize waste and duplication will become paramount in the near future. Failure to act now will jeopardize our ability to compete with other integrated health systems.
What is clinical integration?
The Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice Antitrust Division defined physician clinical integration in their 1996 Statements of Antitrust Enforcement in Health Care as "an active and ongoing program to evaluate and modify practice patterns by the network's physician participants and create a high degree of interdependence and cooperation among the physicians to control costs and ensure quality."
Broadly speaking, an FTC-accepted clinical integration program features (1) collaboration and interdependence among the participating physicians that (2) result in significant quality, utilization and cost improvements in the delivery of their services and that (3) make it "reasonably necessary" for the program's success of efficient operation for the participants to jointly negotiate prices.
What does a clinically integrated network entail?
Although there is no standardized model, the components most clinically integrated networks incorporate, based on FTC guidance, are:
- Requirements that physicians invest time and effort in the development, planning and ongoing operation of the clinical integration program.
- Inclusion of physicians, based on their interest in providing high-quality, efficient care and their willingness to participate in and abide by the policies of the CI program.
- Development by the physicians of practice guidelines sufficient to (1) improve quality and efficiency, (2) cover the majority of medical specialties and (3) cover diagnoses representing a high percentage of the total medical costs of the network's services.
- Dissemination of the guidelines to physicians, and agreement among the physicians to apply the guidelines to the clinical integration program's patients.
- Development by the participating physicians, and adoption by the group, of quality, efficiency, utilization, and cost goals or benchmarks reflecting improvement by network physicians over their current performance.
- Development and implementation of a formal process by which the group will obtain information regarding the physicians' compliance with the guidelines and a formal program through which physicians review and assess the aggregate group and individual physician performance in relation to the group's benchmarks.
- Development and implementation of a formal program by physicians for identifying, and providing support and corrective action for, individual participants who fail to apply the guidelines or otherwise fail to achieve the group's benchmarks.
- Development and implementation of a system of financial rewards, based on group and individual performance, to incentivize physicians to improve their performance.
- A process for ensuring that referrals remain within the network of clinically integrated providers to the maximum extent possible.
Conduct to avoid:
- Improper sharing of competitively sensitive information, regardless of shares or other indicia of market power. Significant competitive concerns can arise when PHO/CIN operations lead to price-fixing or other collusion among participants in their sale of competing services outside the network. For example, improper exchanges of prices or other competitively sensitive information among competing participants could facilitate collusion and reduce competition in the provision of services outside the PHO, leading to increased prices or reduced quality or availability of healthcare services.
- Refrain from, and implement appropriate firewalls or other safeguards against, conduct that may facilitate collusion among participants in the sale of competing services outside the network.
Membership process
Medical staff members are currently being recruited to join Care Delivery Alliance. Signing up is easy; merely complete and sign the agreement and provide an annual fee of $500. You will then have access to all of the advantages of being a CDA member.

This question at one point had a link to binaries, which you could download and try, which are part of the SO users question about portable apps, the binary link in question was later removed. I suppose he hopes someone might find a non-portable aspect of the binary (it doesn't work for me! Oh it works for me!).
Is that an appropriate thing to do on stack overflow?
The posting of binary links (hey download and run this Exe and tell me if it works!) seems like something Other than a programming question, since it's binaries, not source snippets, or source code examples (pure 100% sources only in a zip say). The OP's question DOES contain a source code snippet, and a question about that, so it's not purely a binary related question, but it is part of the post's purpose, and seems to be the purpose of the question asked in the question title.
Additionally, since the exe in question is a download for a person's freely-available-but-obscure-app, it seems almost like the question is a spamvertisement, but that would be another meta-question, and a considerably more gray one. Maybe I'm just making stuff up here, but it kind of struck me as unusual. I have not downloaded the app to find out if it is a trojan, malware, adware, or any other kind of thing, but I wonder if StackOverflow mods and trusted users have encountered a situation like this before, and what they think should be done.
update: The post has had the binary link removed by a concerned meta user who read my meta question and decided to just go ahead and edit the post, which I agree with, and left a comment for the user.
