This is the child's book for the Healing Hearts Club™ program of Bible-based trauma healing for children who have experienced war, abuse, or a similar human or natural disaster. The Healing Hearts Club features an interactive, story-centered, field-tested approach that provides vital mental health information within a biblical framework for children aged 9–13. It is designed for use in churches, orphanages, schools, or dedicated camps. Each child in a Healing Hearts Club session should get a copy of this book to keep. Lay facilitators can plan and lead the program using the companion Facilitator Book, HEALING CHILDREN'S WOUNDS OF TRAUMA (ABS Item 124169, ISBN 9781937628956).
Each of the ten lessons includes two illustrated stories—a Bible story and a composite real-life story about the experiences of "Sami and Rose"—so children can see the effects of trauma, learn how to work through their emotional and spiritual pain, and experience God's love for them. Each lesson also includes a memory verse and other activities to help children engage with the materials.
Endorsements"Many children in today's world are victims of, or witness, acts of violence or abuse. Those who have experienced such trauma can go on to develop long-term mental health difficulties, not only causing considerable distress but also compromising their educational and social potential.
"This program gives an opportunity to change that trajectory. By providing children with a language in which to describe their emotions, and helping them tell the story of their hurt and express their emotional pain, the program gives them the opportunity to begin a journey of recovery and healing. The facilitators' book provides all that is needed to run children's groups as well as train others in the methods used.
"The Healing Hearts Club program is distinctive in helping children understand that whatever happens to them, they are special to God, and can take their pain to him. In a safe environment, with God's help, they can even begin to forgive those who have hurt them.
"I commend this book to all who seek to assist children to recover from serious emotional trauma."—Dr Helen Hayes, FRCPsych, Consultant in Child & Adolescent Ps ychiatry, UK
"Now I know I am important to God. I am not rubbish, no matter what people say." "I have learned that if I just keep bad feelings inside, they will get worse." —Ugandan children, responding to the question "what I learned," after a Healing Hearts Club camp, April 2013

By Rene Bruemmer | Montreal Gazette
MONTREAL — Banned for more than half a century for being unsightly, unhygienic and unfair to restaurant owners, street food vendors are set to return to Montreal.
The city's commission on economic and urban development "decided unanimously that we should say yes to street food," commissioner and Ahuntsic-Cartierville councillor Étienne Brunet said Friday. "We wanted to bring Montreal to the same level as the other greatest cities of the world, that all have street food."
Given the internecine street-vendor turf warfare experienced in other metropolises, however, plus the potential ire of the city's 5,000 restaurateurs who pay rent and taxes, the commission is proceeding slowly. It is creating an advisory committee and pilot program that will see the gradual insertion of street carts and include input from Quebec's association of restaurateurs. A regulatory framework covering all of the city's 19 boroughs is expected by summer 2015.
Unlike other cities whose street fair consists largely of foot-long sausages, the commission has established a "no junk food" rule, promising Montreal's vendors will mirror the gastronomic and esthetic sensibilities of the city.
"Montreal is a 'ville gastronome,' and an international 'ville de design,' " Brunet said. "I think we can do something very good with this."
The ban, unique among Canadian cities, dates back to 1947 when Mayor Jean Drapeau outlawed french-fry wagons on the basis they were supposedly unhygienic and beneath the city's dignity. Attempts to revive them with public consultations in 1997 and 2002 failed, largely because of concerns over quality control and the opposition of restaurant owners who complained it was unjust to allow someone with no overhead to set up shop outside their businesses.
In June 2012, Vision Montreal proposed a motion that street food be studied again. City council agreed and sent the issue to the economic development commission for an in-depth study. With the input of the restaurant association and the handful of Montreal street vendors who are allowed to sell at special events like the Jazz Festival, a basic plan was created. The advisory committee is expected to come up with a framework of regulations allowing street food sales by 2015.
To test different scenarios, Montreal's 19 boroughs are asked to propose spots they think could work for street vendors where they wouldn't be in direct competition with eateries, and to grant vendors temporary permits on given days this summer. Boroughs not interested in street food don't have to participate.
The advisory board will monitor for complaints about garbage or odour or competition and oversee quality of the food and safety regulations. Trucks or carts will not be allowed to stay at locations overnight. They also will have to move to different spots during the day to ensure variety and eliminate turf squabbles.
Most important to the restaurateurs' association, vendors will have to prepare food in a building where they will pay rent and taxes, putting them on more even footing.
"From the comments and questions we've seen from the commission, we think there is going to be a system that is respectful to restaurateurs," said François Meunier, vice-president of the Association des restaurateurs du Québec. It also lauded the commission's promise to limit the number of trucks to avoid oversaturation.
They want to avoid situations such as those seen in Ottawa, which opened the door wide to vendors in 1994. They had 105 sign up, resulting in too much competition and physical fights over prime spots. It took Ottawa and the law of supply and demand 10 years to cull them back to a manageable 36 sidewalk carts and 15 chip wagons.
By taking two years to develop its plan, Montreal hopes to avoid that sort of unpleasantness and create a peaceful street smorgasbord.
"It would give that little extra something that Montreal is missing," Brunet said. "People from all over the world, when they come, they say we should have it just as it exists everywhere else.
"I don't see why we could not be able to do it just as well as the others, if not better."

Self-insuring employer contact information
Self-insuring employer contact information
Current names and contact information for self-insuring employers
If you're treating an injured worker whose employer is self-insuring (SI), you should report the claim directly to that employer not BWC. SI employers are responsible for reporting the claim to BWC, and paying benefits and medical bills.
We've created an Excel spreadsheet with search capabilities that you can use to look up contact information for the SI employer, and then you can learn where to report the claim. Just follow the instructions below.
The same instructions are available on the actual spreadsheet.
- Click on the Enable Content button.
- In the search criteria section, enter the date of injury and any detailed employer information the injured worker has provided. Then, click Search.
- If you can identify the correct SI employer, use the primary contact name and number listed to communicate with that employer to determine where to report the claim.
- If you're not able to determine whether the employer is SI or state fund, use the Employer/MCO look-up.
- If you still cannot identify the correct employer, go ahead and report the claim directly to BWC by faxing the FROI and all supporting medical evidence to 614-621-9565.
If you have questions, email BWC's self-insured department, or call 614-466-8222.

Google Chrome issues with D2L
Per MnSCU System Office:
Update on D2L issues in Chrome browser:
Chrome 32 has resolved the issue with miniature-sized frames inside some D2L tools.
Chrome 32 has introduced a new issue with D2L at screens that bring up a separate window with a list of options, such as "Insert Quicklinks". After a lengthy wait time, a blank window displays in the pop-up and does not populate with information.
D2L has identified this as a browser bug that Google Chrome intends to fix in version 33, but preliminary testing of the current beta version of Chrome 33 shows that the issue still exists.
D2L recommends using a different browser until Google Chrome has a release that resolves this issue.

WEIMER: Grandma made best pancakes
This is winter; no denying it. We were spoiled last winter with all of the nice weather and not much snow.
The temperatures have dropped down so we have to put on heavier clothes with boots and gloves or mittens. And, for those who prepare meals, this cold weather gives you some ideas.
If it happen to have a pancake grill, you are in business. At our house the other evening I decided we would have a "breakfast" for dinner.
Most people think pancakes are just a breakfast dish, but at our house we often have pancakes or waffles for supper .
In the morning, some people don't have time to sit down to a full breakfast, some never eat breakfast, others don't want a heavy meal so early in the day.
At our house, we had oatmeal or another type of cereal for breakfast; evening meals included pancakes along with sausage or bacon, eggs, maple syrup, jelly or other toppings.
Grandma's pancakes never came from a box, but Mom's did. Grandma's were put together the night before, and everyone would sit down to a hearty breakfast. Hers had yeast in the mix and would be put together in a large brownstone pitcher with a cover. I can still see in warming oven of the black coal stove to rise overnight.
She had a large griddle where she could fry as many as five or six pancakes at a time.
What she put in that batter I'll never know, but I would always ask her to put my cakes in the warming oven to steam rather than hot from the griddle. I believe the flour was buckwheat, or bran or something else that made them taste so good.
I can hear what she's say at the sight of a modern electric pancake fryer. "Landsakes, what won't they think of next?" would be her comment.
I have tried to make her pancakes, but they have never tasted as good. How many times have you heard other people say the same thing on what happened to be the topic on cooking from other people? I believe it isn't ourselves that can't make them taste as good. I believe it's the ingredients that we purchase at the grocery store that are treated with so many "other things" to keep them on the shelf longer. Read a package of anything we eat today and see what all has been included in what you are eating. Do you even know what some of the treated ingredients are? We sometimes wonder if they are safe for us to be digesting. That is why you read of so many folks eating organic food missing all of those vitamins and chemicals.
So, Grandma would be frying her pan sausage that included sage and other spices along beside the cast-iron griddle the wood stove with the lid removed so it would be good and hot.
The pancakes would be stacked up and brought to the table and by the time that dish was passed around, there would be a fresh stack so everyone could eat at the same time.
With my electric griddle, there is room for only two or four, depending on their size to fry at once. Therefore the cook has to be frying while all the others at the table ate.
She would have to wait until everyone had enough.

Nominated for showing dynamic business growth and leadership, MD, Mark O'Sullivan debated key issues with fellow entrepreneurs including the need for more investment in infrastructure, developing workforce skills and cutting business tax.
Putting a personal view, Mark O'Sullivan cited the importance of children learning modern languages, in particular Spanish and Mandarin, in school to support globalisation. Being able to communicate in the languages of BanaBay's international customers had been an important element in the development of the business.
EY representatives leading the debate described entrepreneurs as the lifeblood of the economy and identified access to finance as a major issue; and took views on private equity investment.
As a test of his entrepreneurial mettle, Mark O'Sullivan was not alone in being cautious about handing over control to external parties preferring the collaborative approach of mentoring schemes which help businesses to achieve their goals such as the Growth Accelerator programme.
The round table discussion will help the nominees limber up for the Midlands Regional Final of the EY Awards which takes place on 16th June.

LBNL Begins Environmental Review Of Scaled-down Helios Lab Building
Changed designs for the new lab building to house the half-billion-dollar BP–funded Energy Biosciences Institute (EBI) have forced Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory to launch a new environmental impact review.
EBI programs will focus on developing genetically modified organisms and plant crops to provide a new generation of transportation fuels, called biofuels by supporters and agrofuels by critics, who fear the program will led to further corporate colonization of the Third World.
The Helios Building has been redesigned with a lower profile (from a four- and five-story original to a three- and four-story revision), an extended footprint and a reduction in overall floor space from the original 160,000 square feet to 144,000.
The proposed location has been shifted as well, from the original rectangular site directly facing the lab's Molecular Foundry to a more serpentine footprint extended to the southeast and facing Building 62.
Stephan Volker, who represented Friends of Strawberry Canyon in a lawsuit that challenged both the earlier project's EIR and the UC Board of Regents approval of the project, said Tuesday that the change of plans might be an improvement over the project he had challenged in court.
Volker represented Save Strawberry Canyon, a nonprofit organization whose membership includes Berkeley residents Sylvia McLaughlin, Lesley Emmington, Janice Thomas, Hank Gehman and former mayor Shirley Dean.
While LBNL officials have denied that the lawsuit forced a change in plans, Volker said, "We do believe the case forced the university to resubmit a design that addresses some of our concerns."
Save Strawberry Canyon withdrew the lawsuit after the plans were withdrawn, "though we reserved the right to submit a motion for recovery of litigation costs," he said.
Volker said his clients fear that environmental devastation in the canyon will dramatically increase as the university and the federally backed lab look for room to expand.
A public scoping session to gather concerns to be addressed in the new EIR will be conducted Jan. 7 between 6:30 and 8:30 p.m. at the North Berkeley Senior Center, 1901 Hearst Ave.
The notice is available at the LBNL website at http://www.lbl.gov/Community/Helios/documents/index.html

20 ways to peace out when school's got ya down
Before you get out of bed…consider the dreams you had the night before. Try to reconstruct them, ponder what they mean and laugh over silly things you said or did.
During your morning routine…practice mindfulness. Instead of letting your thoughts wander to everything you have to accomplish today, focus instead on the things you're doing here and now, like the feeling of your toothbrush's bristles against your gums or the softness of your hair as you brush it out.
In the shower…use scented body washes and hair products that calm your senses. These could be favorite scents, or something more typical, like lavender.
At breakfast…give yourself a chance to play with your food. Cut up fruit to make faces in your cereal, use cookie cutters to shape your toast. The point is to do something that makes you smile and feel like a kid again, even if it's just for ten minutes in the a.m.
On the bus…pull out your iPod and plug in to a special playlist. Opt for your favorite artists, songs that evoke happy memories or simply tunes that are mellow and soothing.
At your locker…keep things organized. Even when life seems to be out of your control, knowing that you have a space where Y-O-U reigns supreme will give you a measure of confidence.
During homeroom…take a moment and break down your day into manageable tasks, like taking a quiz in history or turning in last night's homework in chem. Write this list down in your planner so you stop thinking about it, and be sure to periodically pull it out and cross off the items you've completed.
In the hallway…Stall freak-outs by concentrating on your breathing as you march toward class. Breathe rhythmically in time with your steps—left foot inhale, right foot pause, left foot exhale, right foot pause, and so on. Slowing down your breathing will get you back in control of your thoughts and keep your mind on something other than an upcoming exam.
In math class…give yourself a pat on the back when you get something right that you've been struggling with. Instead of competing with others in your class who might be having an easier time with the material, focus on breaking problems down into their essentials, and solving them. When you do, indulge in a moment of private self-congratulation before you move on to the next problem.
At lunch…eat something that you really, really like. We're not giving you free rein to scarf down a pile of pizza and fried food. Instead, eat healthfully—you'll feel better if you do—and treat yourself to one item that you can savor. It could be a piece of fruit you brought from home, a baggy of kettle corn or a cookie. Whatever it is, eat it last and enjoy it.
In between classes…make a detour to a bathroom and run the underside of your wrists under cool water for 30 seconds. Focusing on your pulse points will help you get anxiety under control.
During gym…use your warm-up to ward off stress. Ease into deep stretches, activating all the muscle groups you can. Breathe deeply, and you'll feel nervous energy taking flight.
During study hall…get lost in a daydream. Let go of all of the restrictions of real life and enjoy a fantasy for 15 minutes. Imagine yourself accepting an Oscar, or going on a first date with the guy you've been crushing on forever.
After school…give yourself time to unwind doing something you love. Set aside a half hour when you aren't thinking about homework, tests, projects—anything that stresses you out. Dive in to a fun activity you can lose yourself in. Setting an alarm on your cell phone will ensure that you don't go over your allotted free time.
During practice…give yourself a Little Engine That Could-style pep talk. A self-confidence boost could be all that's separating you from the starting lineup.
At the dinner table…direct conversation toward topics you actually enjoy discussing. If you leave the convo to Mom and Dad, they might decide to drill you on your already stressful day because that's the first thing that comes to their minds. Take the initiative to incite chatter and you might actually enjoy it. Bonus? It'll take your mind off of that stressful day.
Two hours before bedtime…stop multi-tasking. Turn off your computer and stow your cell. Multi-tasking can create a feeling of urgency, which winds you up when you should be relaxing.
Before ya hit the hay…grab a journal and scribble down your thoughts about the day, and what's coming up tomorrow. Writing down the events and emotions that stress you out let's your mind release them, so you can focus on other things.
When you turn out the lights…close your eyes and focus on relaxing your entire body, bit by bit. Start with your toes, then move up to the arch of your foot, your heel, your ankle. Continue 'til you get to your head…or fall asleep.
Anytime…laugh it up. The act of laughing boosts your immune system and triggers the secretion of feel-good chemicals in the body. Make a funny face at yourself in the mirror, trade bad jokes with a friend or watch a sitcom.

It's ridiculously frigging beautiful out this weekend. The dome is open, and we've got our first sunburn of the season. And we're a bit hammered.
Hope everyone enjoyed B.J. Ryan's excellent outing this afternoon, and hope you're all drinking on a patio at some point this weekend.
Incidentally, seeing Beej striking out elite hitters without all of his velocity back was incredibly heartening to us. We're not sure that he's all the way back, but he's looking good in these initial outings.

(The Root) — The massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., is still at the top of the news cycle, weeks after Adam Lanza, 20, murdered 20 unsuspecting schoolchildren and six teachers and administrators with weapons purchased by and registered to his mother, Nancy Lanza. The young man shot her in the head four times in her home as she slept before heading to Sandy Hook to embark on the second-deadliest school massacre in U.S. history.
Nancy, described as a gun enthusiast, has become the recent object of fascination, with many wondering why she would keep guns in her house at all and take her son to the shooting range, knowing that he was "troubled."
While I'm not interested in embarking on a "blame the mother" narrative, particularly when very little is known about the Lanza family dynamics (i.e., Adam's relationship with his father, brother, grandparents and so on), I do think that Nancy's actions are indicative of a practice that I call "when bad parenting happens to good people." (In this case, "good people" could refer to Nancy or the victims of the Newtown shooting.)
It's a reality seen as pretty much standard by people who work with or are regularly exposed to children and young adults. It is the idea that common sense isn't always common, especially when it comes to parenting. As a college-level educator, I have the opportunity to see great parenting and bad parenting, up close and personal.
There are all types of parents, with diverse ideologies, philosophies, worldviews and approaches to parenting. Some take a laissez-faire position, allowing their children to explore and experience college life without much interference or direction. Other parents have a hands-on approach, staying in constant contact with their children and dictating nearly every movement they make.
It's obvious when parents have taught their children boundaries, self-control, integrity and a sense of responsibility for their actions. Meanwhile, it seems as if other parents have not taught their kids much of anything — such as to speak when spoken to, which in my book constitutes having basic manners.
Nancy Lanza is an example of this phenomenon. Her poor judgment and profound lack of common sense as a parent (keeping guns around a "troubled child") had tragic consequences for a lot of people, including herself. To be clear, not all children with Asperger's syndrome are dangerous, but parents who are overwhelmed and in over their heads (dealing with children they are not trained or equipped to handle) certainly are troubled and in need of help. Parenting doesn't come with a manual, which is why parenting classes exist.
You don't have to be a school psychologist or a college professor to identify everyday examples of bad parenting. Head to the local grocery store or department store, or spend a few minutes at the airport waiting for a flight, and you'll see that good parents are not born; like good children, they are made.
While some cultural critics are willing to try to find the correlation between bad deeds and either guns or exposure to violence in media, some aren't as willing to explore the correlation between the rise in violent acts among young adults and the type of parenting they receive. Why?
Maybe it is because many of us would find our own parenting styles implicated. What happened in Sandy Hook and continues to happen in Chicago and other cities teeming with violent crime has to be dealt with on multiple levels, and parenting or the lack thereof should not be left out of the equation. Otherwise I fear we'll continue to see examples of bad parenting happening to good people, long after the tragedy in Newtown stops being a hot news story.

Hello wise women,
This is my first time being on an internet forum and I am excited this community exists.
I live in northern Canada and haven't been able to find St. Joan's wild or plants to purchase. The herbal community in my province is very small and I haven't found any others practicing wise woman herbalism.
I'm wondering if any of you have tincture you would be willing to trade.
Currently I have these herbal preparations bottled and ready, all made in the wise woman tradition with 100 proof vodka:
Yarrow Tincture
Reishi Tincture
Elderberry Tincture (from fresh berries)
Calendula oil
Plantain oil
If none is available to trade, do you have experience growing St. Joan's from seed?
Thank you for your time!

Preliminary examination of Rajasthan Judicial ServicesOctober 23, 2010
Strategy for preparation of different subjects for Preliminary examination of Rajasthan Judicial Services:
1. Applicants shall keep one statement in mind, what Sir Stephen had said while presenting the report of the select committee on Indian Evidence Act – "The general object kept in view, in framing it, has been to produce something from which a student might derive a clear, comprehensive and distinct knowledge of the subject, with necessary labours but not, of course, without that degree of careful and sustained attention which is necessary in order to master any important and intricate matter".
2. First and foremost, go through all the amendments made in 2008; even those which have not been Notified and do comparative studies
3. Be perfectly clear in the interpretation of each and every topics as well as provisions
4. Questions will be concept based
5. Get hold of the concepts first, like Joint Criminal Liability, Legal Insanity, Right of Private Defence, Alternate Punishments etc.
6. Take care of all the illustrations, General and Special Exceptions
7. Group Headings
8. Essentials of offences
9. Distinctions between related offences; supported with judicial pronouncements. For example, while making distinctions between Culpable Homicide and Murder, we have four leading cases and it all started with "In Re Barkatulla 1887". Just remember you are not taking exam of LLB but Judicial Magistrate!!!!
10. Problems
11. Do the interconnections with Criminal Procedure Code and Indian Evidence Act
12. Check the basics first
13. All the procedures must be on your tip; their object / their stage / important case laws / your own views.
14. Interconnect Substantive Part with Procedural Part
15. Problems
16. Carefully check the effect of any irregularities made in the procedure part
17. Do the interconnections of different provision (in reference to, Indian Penal Code / Indian Evidence Act / Constitution of India)
18. Take special care of Judicial Pronouncements relating to Indian Constitution

A big list of "America's 50 Best Cities" makes for a good bar argument. Bars are even one of the ranking factors.
Businessweek.com and Bloomberg teamed up to release a ranking of the best U.S. cities, and two West Coast cities were at the top of the list. San Francisco and Seattle were Nos. 1 and 2 for urban living.
The site used several factors to determine the rankings:
"Leisure attributes (the number of restaurants, bars, libraries, museums, professional sports teams, and park acres by population); educational attributes (public school performance, the number of colleges, and graduate degree holders), economic factors (2011 income and June and July 2012 unemployment), crime, and air quality.
Major professional league and minor league teams, as well as U.S.-based teams belonging to international leagues in that city were included. The greatest weighting was placed on leisure amenities, followed by educational metrics and economic metrics, and then crime and air quality."
San Francisco earned high marks for its thriving economy, cultural centers and nightlife in the Mission and Castro districts. Seattle was cited for beautiful vistas and clean air, among other things. Smaller cities like Portland, Ore. (fifth), Denver (sixth) and Austin, Texas (eighth) dominated the top 10.
Houston came in at No. 22 and was cited for its large parks and food scene. San Antonio was 30th. Bay Area cities Oakland (31st) and San Jose (33rd) also made the list.
Here are some of the top cities in the U.S., according to the rankings:

TiVo Inc. Sees Sharp Increase In Revenue
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Broadband, Corporate News, Home Entertainment,
Tivo Inc. announces a 30% increase in service and technology revenues for its quarter that ended July 31. CEO Tom Rogers claims that this increase was partially due to distribution of TiVo through Radio Shack and the recent signing of a deployment agreement with Cox Cable. Revenues are reported at $52.9 million, compared to $40.7 million for the same period last year.
"We remain highly focused on our key points of differentiation between TiVo and generic DVRs. Those points of differentiation are becoming hugely significant and form the basis of being able to market TiVo's many benefits as a world apart from simply having a hard drive in a cable or satellite box," said Rogers.
With 30,000 new TiVo subscriptions, the recently launched KidZone, its new Series 3 unit, and sugar plum thoughts of the Christmas season to come, it's easy to assume that the only direction TiVo will be traveling is up.

Samsung Shows Off 4G Wireless Internet
Posted by Brian Viele Categories: Broadband, Smartphones, Internet, PC / Laptop, Wireless / WiFi,
Today in South Korea, Samsung Electronics demonstrated new 4G wireless technology to the press. Samsung showed 4G technology could carry speeds of 100Mbps over the air. That's more bandwidth than most current broadband providers can even harness. The demo took place on a bus while traveling across the city. Samsung reps demonstrated high speed access through HDTV streaming as well as data access. According to Samsung, this type of performance should be attainable whether standing still or traveling at over 70mph on the highway.
The speeds demonstrated by Samsung best the WiMAX standard that is currently being used to supply wireless network access city-wide to customers at speeds of up to only 20Mbps. Samsung also did some demonstration showing that the 4G technology could potentially even hit speeds of up to 1Gbps! 1Gbps wireless…the best I can get is Comcast's ultimate connection at a rockin 6Mbps. Go figure.

SpeedTest.net Beta: Addictive
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Broadband, Internet,
If SpeedTest.net is anything, it's addictive. We know, the validity of various broadband speed tests across the Internet is questionable. With so many variables across both your internal network as well as the Internet as a whole, along with bursting services like Comcast SpeedBoost, these tests can be off. That's fine, but we still can't help getting pissed at Comcast when our speed test to a server across the world isn't up to par with advertised speeds (of course, we typically are pissed at Comcast regularly anyway.)
Nonetheless, if you want a cool interface you can use to test your broadband speed, give this site a look. They do try to be a bit better than the standard test, as they account for jitter, client location, distance to server, and latency. They give you all those numbers (as well as ping), along with distance to test server, and a way to save and share your results. Oh, and if you didn't get it by now, they feature test servers from across the globe. Fun times.

Artist Comments: I love great sci-fi movies like Star Trek, Star Gate, and Star Wars; just about any story where space travel is involved. In fact, I think I should have grown up to be an astronaut instead of an artist…. well maybe. The bottom line is, I absolutely love adventure and to me traveling through the far reaches of outer space would be the ultimate in adventure.
In addition to loving the idea of space travel, I am very interested in our national space program. I'm amazed at the many modern inventions we take for granted that has been made possible because of space technology. Inventions like long-distance telecommunications, water filters, invisible braces, scratch-resistant lenses used in our eyeglasses, and even memory foam used to make our mattresses. Also solar energy and the insulation used in our attics and walls, as well as, portable cordless vacuums, workout equipment, and CatScans. Even smoke detectors, cordless tools, and artificial limbs, to name just a few. Indeed space exploration has created new markets and new technologies that have spurred economic growth and enriched our lives in many ways.
Check out this website for a list of those inventions.

MOD 1: Make Your TS9 True-Bypass
Tools and Parts for This Mod
• Power drill
• 1/2" drill bit
• Wire strippers
• 3PDT footswitch
• 2.2k–4.7k Ω resistor
• Three jumpers (these could be clippings from the leg of a resistor or capacitor)
• Two or three 3" pieces of wire
• Needle-nose pliers (handy, but optional)
This mod requires drilling a big ol' hole in the middle of your Tube Screamer's case. Here goes nothing, right? I know it sounds crazy, but it has to be done so you can install the shiny new 3PDT (three-pole, double-throw) footswitch that's necessary to make your pedal true-bypass.
Photo 1 (left): Components and wire leads to be removed from the main TS9 circuit board. Photo 2 (right): Replace the original short jumper wire with a longer one extending to the hole where the bottom leg of a 510k Ω resistor used to be.
1. Desolder the red-and-white-striped wire from the circuit board (upper-left corner in Photo 1) and cut the black wire that connects the input jack to the original footswitch. This allows you to remove the circuit board from the case.
2. With the circuit board removed, drill a 1/2"-diameter hole in the middle of the case where it says "TS9" (under the Ibanez logo). You may want to prop your pedal up on blocks so that the top is level and you can get a straight shot at the surface (otherwise, the hole will end up being elliptical instead of round).
3. The TS9 uses what's called a "flip-flop" circuit to turn on and off, but with the new true-bypass switch, the parts in this circuit aren't necessary. Remove the following:
• Two FETs
• Two 510k Ω resistors
• Two diodes
• The jumper wire
• The capacitor labeled "104" (it's the blue cap at lower-right on this board, but it may be a different color on yours)
4. Desolder the end of the pink wire on the main circuit board that connects to the LED's circuit board.
5. Remove the short jumper wire (bottom middle of the circuit board in Photo 2) and replace it with a longer jumper that begins at the same right-side hole as the previous jumper but extends to the hole in between where the two FETs removed in step 3 used to be. The correct hole previously contained the bottom leg of one of the 510k Ω resistors also removed in step 3.
(Note: Disregard the two clear LEDs that appear in place of clipping diodes at middle right in Photo 2—they were from a previous mod.)
6. Now that most of the board work is done, let's move on to the footswitch. To make wiring more convenient, place it upside-down in the case, with the holes in the lugs facing you (see Photo 3). Referencing the schematic in Fig. 1:
• Connect pins 2 and 9 with a jumper wire
• Connect pins 7 and 8 with a jumper wire
Note: Make sure the jumper wires don't touch any other lugs.
Fig. 1: Schematic for wiring a 3PDT true-bypass footswitch.
7. Desolder the yellow wire at the upper right in Photo 1 (it's in the hole labeled "11") from the main circuit board and solder it to footswitch pin 2. See Photo 4.
8. Solder one end of a 3" wire in the now-empty hole 11. Solder the other end to footswitch pin 5.
9. Desolder the white wire from the upper-left corner of the main circuit board (the hole labeled "1").
Photo 3 (left): Prop the new 3PDT footswitch in the newly drilled hole for convenience while soldering jumper wires and other leads. Photo 4 (middle): The true-bypass switch with steps 7–14 completed. Photo 5 (right): A completed TS9 true-bypass mod.
10. Solder one end of a 3" wire (or you could reuse the red-and-white-striped wire) in the now-vacant hole 1. Solder the other end to footswitch pin 3.
11. Solder the white wire from the output jack to footswitch pin 6.
12. Strip a little insulation off of the pink wire.
13. Solder one leg of your new 2.2k–4.7k Ω resistor (resistors aren't polarized, so it doesn't matter which leg) to the pink wire. Connect the resistor's other leg to footswitch pin 1.
14. Solder one end of a 3" wire to the sleeve lug of the input jack, and the other end to footswitch pin 4. If you're having trouble finding the sleeve lug, here's how: See how the jack has three lugs, one with a yellow wire, one with a black wire going to the battery terminal, and one with a black wire going to the output jack? That last lug—the one with the black wire going to the output jack—is the one you want to solder to.
15. Connect the new footswitch to the pedal housing.
Congrats—your TS9 is now true-bypass! Your footswitch should look something like Photo 5 when it's done and installed.

We've welcomed back some old friends with our new 'Baby It's Cold Outside' contest and are excited to work with Dilly Dally Kids, Pip and Pin, and Simply Merino on this amazing contest! Imagine the snow is falling outside, you've are snuggling your child in their chemical free wool PJs, you are wearing a beautiful hand-knit cowl, and the kids bring out some family favourite games to play. Now you've got the concept for 'Baby It's Cold Outside'.
We are excited to introduce our new friend Simply Merino clothing company. If you are looking for chemical free sleep wear made without synthetic materials or flame retardants, you've got a friend in Simply Merino. These clothes are made in New Zealand from 100% Merino wool and are a wonderful barrier for children between their skin and athletic gear, to wear as sleep wear, or use as layering pieces. I know in our house, my sons are so limited with PJs this year because I've had a tough time finding sleep wear that isn't made from polyester. The thought of them sleeping in a synthetic blend just isn't how I want them spending 10+ hours. This holiday season, parents & family love to give the gift of cozy jammies. Let them know that Simply Merino is offering a 10% discount code to Mommy Footprint readers – just enter mommy10 at checkout after ordering.
Next to join the winter party is our friends Pip and Pin. We fell in love with these talented West Coast sisters two years ago after discovering their craft for making beautiful hand knit items. They are also adorable, kind, and the type of small business owners you want to support. My favourite signature Pip and Pin design are their cowls and the lucky contest winner of this contest can select a cowl with or without buttons and work with Megan and Katie with colours. Make sure to check them out at Make It Vancouver this weekend if you're attending.
If you live in Greater Vancouver, chances are you've been to Commercial Drive and fallen in love with Dilly Dally Kids toy store that offers a wide variety of heirloom quality toys. I love the wooden selection at Dilly Dally Kids and they've done a great job with supporting local artists, sustainable toy options, along with classic favourites. They have generously allowed Mommy Footprint to select three fun family games to anchor our 'Baby It's Cold Outside' contest. My family has spent hours enjoying these three games and I'm excited that another family will get to enjoy them too: Sleeping Queens Card Game, Rush Hour, and Zingo (pictured below). Visit Dilly Dally Kids in-store and enjoy the unique experience of finding holiday gifts in wide assortment and age ranges. Enter the below contest and your shopping will already be off to a great start if you win this prize basket.
Our 'Baby It's Cold Outside' contest will run for one week November 26th – December 3rd at midnight. This contest is open to North American residents and I'm thankful to Simply Merino, Pip and Pin, and Dilly Dally Kids for working together for this amazing contest. Now close your eyes, imagine the snow falling outside, and think of how lucky you'd be to win a wool pair of kid's PJs, cozy cowl, and family games package.

Audra Menez netted five goals in Liberty's 19-9 win over Howard on Sunday.
The Liberty women's lacrosse team extended its win-streak to three games, Sunday afternoon, defeating the Howard Bison, 19-9, at Osborne Stadium.
For the second straight contest, the Lady Flames set a new record for largest margin of victory. With its 19-goal performance, Liberty also set a new program record for most tallies in a single game, besting the previous record set last year in a 17-16 overtime win over the Bison (March 6, 2010).
The Lady Flames' victory gives them a 4-3 record overall and a 2-0 posting in National Lacrosse Conference (NLC) play. Liberty is also 4-1 at home this season and 4-0 when playing in Osborne Stadium. With the loss, Howard falls to 3-7 on the year and 0-3 in NLC action.
Jen Moyer and Audra Menez led Liberty with five goals apiece, followed by Kristin Crowley (4), Karis Walborn (3), Jen Freymond (1) and Emily Dinsmore (1). Courtland Lackey paced the Bison with three goals, while Taylor Tynes and Chastity Daley each had two. The Liberty defense held 2010 NLC Player of the Year Desiree Cox in check. Entering the contest with 33 goals on the season, Howard's leading scorer finished with only one goal.
Menez lit up the scoreboard early for the Lady Flames, netting an unassisted marker in the opening 50 seconds. After a Howard goal by Taylor Tynes tied the contest at 27:51, Liberty reeled off six unanswered goals over the next 10 minutes. Crowley opened the run with an unassisted tally.
Menez, Moyer and Walborn also scored during the stretch, while Jordan Richardson chipped in two assists. Crowley and Moyer paced the Lady Flames during the surge with two goals apiece. Moyer's unassisted goal at 17:51 capped off the burst, giving Libery a 7-1 advanatage.
The Bison halted the Lady Flames' scoring streak with two tallies to cut the Liberty lead to four. Crowley then responded with an unassisted goal with 5:54 remaining in the period to secure a first-half hat trick and make it 8-3 in favor of the home team.
Howard once again closed the gap to four with 4:36 left, thanks to a Tyne free position shot. Moyer answered with a goal of her own 22 ticks later to ultimately give way to a 9-4 Liberty lead at halftime.
In the second half, Howard took advantage of a near 14-minute Liberty scoring drought, posting four-straight goals to climb within one, 9-8, with 16:07 left in the matchup. During the Lady Flames' dry spell, Howard's Dailey and Lackey netted two apiece for the Bison.
Liberty then broke the drought with seven goals over the next 9:23, taking a commanding 16-8 lead at the 6:44 mark. Menez shined during Liberty's second big burst of the contest, recording two goals and two assists. Others scoring during the stretch included Moyer, Dinsmore, Crowley, Freymond and Walborn.
Lackey closed out the scoring effort for Howard with an unassisted goal with 6:05 remaining in the contest. Just under the four-minute mark, Candice dished a short pass to Moyer, who finished on the play to put the Lady Flames up by eight. Walborn and Menez chipped in a goal apiece for Liberty, closing out the contest with a 19-9 final.
Liberty outshot the Bison 39-29 and also held the advantage in groundballs (32-22), draw controls (18-12) and team clears (15-11). Kristen Masullo played the entire contest in the net for Liberty, making 12 saves, while Amber Meeks recorded 14 stops in 60 minutes for Howard.
Howard continues conference play on the road, Friday, stopping in High Point, N.C., to take on the NLC's newest member, the High Point Panthers, at 5 p.m.
Liberty will host ACC member Virginia Tech on Tuesday, wrapping up its four-game homestand. Opening draw between the Hokies and the Lady Flames is set for 5:30 p.m.

Service-Oriented Architecture
Posted by Manish Panchmatia on Sunday, June 4, 2017 Labels: software / Comments: (0) Full article...>>
Service-oriented architecture is a buzzword. It is all about 1. Loose coupling 2. Modular programme 3. connected components using various protocols over IP. SOA is the philosophy of encapsulating application logic in services with a uniformly defined interface and making these publicly available via discovery mechanism. Let's look at some more aspects about SOA
Core Values
Core Values
- More focus on 'business value' compare to 'technical strategy'
- So more focus on 'strategic goal' compare to 'project benifits'
- The components should have 'intrinsic inter-operability'
- More importance to 'shared services' compare to 'implementation for specific purpose'
- Flexibility is more important compare to optimisation
- Here, 'Evolution refinement' is more important compare to 'initial perfection'
SOA is similar to 1. Modular programming 2. Distributed computing 3. mashups 4. SaaS and 5. Cloud computing. Still it is different. SOA has 11 principals.
1. The service contract should be standardized. That includes functional expressions may be using WSDL. Data model may be using XML schema and 3. Policy document.
2. Reference autonomy standardization : The other components are merely aware about presence of other service component. It fosters the loose coupling
3. Service Location Transparency : Service can be executed, deployed anywhere.
4. Service Longevity : Service should run for ever. It also means backward compatible implementation.
5. Service Abstraction means the service is jut a black box. (1) The functional aspects of service (2) Technical information (3) Logic / Algorithm and (2) Quality of service, all these are hidden.
6. Service autonomy : It means, service should be more predictable, reliable and less depends on external environment. Run time service autonomy achieved by dedicated CPU and memory so external environment has lesser impact. Design time service autonomy means, service can be evolve and re-design without impacting consumers. More applicable to entity service and utility service.
7. Service statelessness: The service is implemented as stateless. However it can take support for other system to maintain state. Service may need to maintain state about (1) Context data (2) Business data and (3) Session data.
8. Service granularity define the scope of service. It impacts performance and message size for the service.
9. Service normalization is trade off between redundancy and performance
10. Service composability A service can play two role here (1) Service controller and (2) Service member
11. Service discovery : Using service discovery protocol
12. Service re-usability : The service, which is part of multiple business processes is more reusable. The service with extra functionality will be reusable in future.
13. Service encapsulation: The service not part of SOA, initially.
Each SOA building block plays any of the three roles
1. Service provider
2. Service broker = service registry = service repository
3. Service consumer = service requester
SOA can be implemented in multiple ways
1. SOA can be implemented using any service based technology. It can be web services using SOAP+WSDL or RESTful protocol. It can be using (1) Jini and JBI (2) CORBA (3) REST (4) WCF
2. Messaging technology can be used (1) ActiveMQ (2) JMS (3) RabbitMQ
3. OPC-UA is a M2M protocol. It can be web service oriented. It can be binary protocol over TCP/IP. It can by hybrid approach of binary protocol over SOAP.
4. Apache Thrift is a RPC based framework by FaceBook. It provides IDL and binary protocol.
5. SORCER is Java based distributed computing platform, for service oriented computing environment.
6. The programming language like C# .Net, Java, BPEL also has support for SOA
7. WS-CDL and WS-Coordination Specifications extend SOA further for workflows and business process.
Service Oriented Modelling
In SOA framework, Service Oriented Modelling identifies various disciplines to conceptualize, analyze, design, and architect service-oriented assets. Here three approaches are identified
1. SDDM: Service-oriented design and development methodology
2. SOMA: Service-oriented modeling and architecture
3. SOMF: Service-oriented modeling framework. It is about what to do.
Extension and variants
SOA can be further extended with various variants
1. SOA 2.0 is combination of SOA and EDA. Event Driven Architecture. It has three components. (1) Event emitters (agents) (2) Event consumers (sinks OR event processing engine) (3) Event channel. It can be (3.1) message oriented middleware or (2) TCP/IP link (3) File: XML, flat file, or even e-mail.
2. Web 2.0 has same philosophy as SOA, but it serves different user needs.
3. Microservices : (1) Fine grained services may be a process of OSGi Bundle (2) Light weight protocol may be HTTP or shared memory. Results in continuous software development process. Jolie programming language allows to think and program in terms of microservices. The complexity moves to network as (1) network latency (2) message format (3) load balancing and (4) fault tolerance
I hope, the readers like this overview of SOA.

Bismack Biyombo - 2011 International Draft Prospect Scouting Report
Bismack Biyombo
Fuenlabrada (Spain/ACB)
18 Years Old
More international prospect scouting reports:
Jonas Valanciunas | Jan Vesely | Donatas Motiejunas | Nikola Mirotic
We continue our series of scouting reports on international draft prospects with a look at Bismack Biyombo, the post player from Congo who quickly emerged on the scene with his performance in the Spanish ACB and at the 2011 Nike Hoop Summit.
M. Haubs was on hand in Portland for the Hoop Summit, and - given Biyombo's potential to be a Defensive Player of the Year candidate in a weak draft - believes that Biyombo is one of the top three or four prospects available this year. Jay Aych delved into the video from Biyombo's play in the ACB and offers a different take. Here it is:
Biyombo's team in Spain, Fuenlabrada, finished a respectable seventh in the ACB regular season and was bounced by Real Madrid in the first round of the ACB playoffs. Biyombo left the team in early April, prior to the ACB playoffs, to attend the Hoop Summit against the team's wishes, and was not welcomed back to the club.
In 14 ACB games, Bismack averaged 6.4 ppg, 5.1 rpg, 2.3 bpg, 55% FG pct and 55% FT pct in just 17 mins per. Good numbers per minute, with those per-minute block numbers really standing out.
There are absolutely no questions about Biyombo's physical skills: 9-4 standing reach, 7-6 wingspan and 245 lbs. of chiseled muscle. And if he's as young as he states (or even 21), he will still likely fill out some more into the 250 lb. range.
[Note that Jonathan Givony of DraftExpress looked into the age issue, and came away believing that Biyombo is 18 to, at most, 20 years old.]
Compared to Kenny Faried, another high-energy rebounder/defender, Biyombo has the edge. He has four inches of standing reach and 20 lbs. on Faried. Plus, most importantly, Biyombo played and proved himself against much better competition than Faried (or any NCAA player) did.
Clearly, Biyombo is the best defensive big in this draft. Biyombo can immediately pay dividends on the defensive end in the NBA and projects to be a major defensive force in the future.
Biyombo is simply a monster shot-blocker--led the ACB in blocks, even with his limited playing time. No doubt he will be a helpside terror like his compatriot Serge Ibaka.
At the risk of an oversimplified comparison based on identifying characteristics, a la Dirk-Bird, here are Ibaka's numbers from when he played in the ACB: 7.1 ppg, 4.5 rpg, 1.0 bpg, 55% FG pct and 72% FT pct in 16 mins per. Very comparable, with Serge being a better FT shooter, but - surprisingly - Biyombo with much-higher block numbers than the young man who ended up leading the NBA in blocks per minute in 2010-11, and was third in blocks overall.
As much as Biyombo's ability to alter shots off-ball is great, it's his ability to change them on the ball that was especially impressive. Of the 21 charted defensive post plays for Biyombo on Synergy Sports Technology, he blocked 6-7 shots on the ball and severely altered 3-4 more shots. Nasty. Granted, a limited sample size, but still nasty.
Overall, Biyombo's post defense was stellar this year. On those aforementioned 21 post plays, his opponents managed to shoot just 22% (according to Synergy). Holds his position well, even against veterans, shows good balance and shuffles his feet well. Very sound in his approach.
Also, seems competent guarding outside the painted area. Shows hard on pick/roll and moves his feet well on the perimeter. Can legitimately guard both frontcourt positions. Though, he's not without his flaws defensively. Sometimes loses sight of the ball and has a tendency to over-help.
Biyombo might struggle a little adjusting to defending NBA talent, which is expected of any newcomer. But he will be much more prepared than any college prospects to defend against NBA offenses thanks to his time dealing with the talent and precision of many of the ACB teams.
Like Valanciunas, Biyombo is tough on the glass, particularly strong on the offensive boards (2 off. rpg). Though, Biyombo does not measure up to Valanciunas as a tip-in threat.
Not much nuance to his offensive game. His hands are suspect, has no ball skills, no passing ability and poor shooting touch. Can't score outside of 5 feet; pretty much just capable of dunks & lay-ins.
Did not have too many post-ups plays called for him, probably rightfully so. Scored a few times where he took advantage of the defender being out of position and spun to the rim. Rarely ever doubled in ACB play, but when doubled at the Hoop Summit, had no clue how to react.
Definitely has issues with turnovers--1.7 TOpg in 16 mins--which seem to be a byproduct of his shaky hands or poor ball skills. He's really not as smooth rolling/cutting to the rim as you would hope/expect. Sometimes takes too long for him to gather himself before he goes up with his shot.
Would not categorize him as a great finisher. If he catches the ball on cuts/rolls and he doesn't have a clear path to the rim, he can struggle to adjust his shot if a defender is between him & the rim. He's just not as effective as Valanciunas finishing in traffic at this point. Good finisher, not great. Also, he rarely makes contact when setting screens; I would hesitate to call what he does as "screening".
From what I've seen, I believe Biyombo is a top 15 talent in this draft. Toronto could really use his talents, but the #5 pick might be too high to take him. In play for picks #7-#9 (Kings, Pistons, Bobcats). Could make sense for the Kings with the possible departure of Dalembert. Pistons might see him as the second coming of Big Ben. The Bobcats are rumored to be high on Bismack, though they would be better served looking for someone who can score.
Utah is a possible destination at #12, considering they need to upgrade their interior defense. If he's still around at #17, the Knicks would be foolish to pass him up, considering he perfectly fills their interior defensive void.
I do understand the apprehension some NBA decision-makers have about Biyombo. Biyombo only has one season of substance under his belt, and that was only 15 games. And his rawness on the offensive end gives you pause. He needs a ton of polishing on the offensive end and he might always be a big liability.
But Biyombo's elite physical skills allow him to wreak havoc on defense and the boards much like Ben Wallace. And he's proven his worth against serious competition in Spain.

Hansborough Recreation Center
Hansborough Recreation Center
The 134th Street Bathhouse opened to the public on June 1, 1925 under the auspices of Manhattan Borough President Julius Miller. It was one of many bathhouses built early in the century to promote public health, hygiene, and recreation. According to a 1927 newspaper article, the Harlem facility was built at a cost of almost $500,000 and was "the last word in shower bath construction." The stunning natatorium (meaning indoor swimming pool, from the Latin natare, to swim) was decorated with tiles, mosaics, and ceramic panels depicting sea creatures.
In addition to the pool, there were 164 showers and 6 bathtubs on the first floor, which was operated by the Borough President's staff. The gymnasium, running track, locker room, and showers on the second floor were operated by the Department of Parks. In 1926 the gymnasium was used by 43,000 visitors, including public school children and members of boys and girls clubs, such as the Chapel Boys, the New York Flashes, and the Sunshine Girls Club. In 1934 the structure was turned over to the Department of Parks to serve as a recreation center. For generations of Harlem residents, the 134th Street Recreation Center was a magnet for amateur athletes.
In 1984 the facility was named in memory of John Rozier Hansborough Jr. (1907-1981), a former Parks recreational employee and Harlem community leader. Born in the Bronx, Rozier moved with his family to Harlem when he was a teenager. He was a superb all-around athlete and played varsity football at Stuyvesant High School, where he was also a member of the Law Society. After graduating from Stuyvesant in 1925, Hansborough attended college at New York University and Howard University.
In 1929 he became a recreation instructor at Harlem Playground and rose to become Assistant Director of the Harlem Children's Center (formerly the Harlem Playground, now the Joseph P. Kennedy Jr. Memorial Center). Hansborough joined Parks as a Playground Director in 1938 and assembled many star-studded teams in track and field, football, basketball, softball, and baseball. He was promoted to Assistant Supervisor of Recreation in Manhattan in 1969 and implemented a cultural arts program at the Mount Morris (now Pelham Fritz) Recreation Center.
Hansborough broke the color barrier as the first of two African-Americans in the International Association of Approved Basketball Officials. As a founder of the Sports United Basketball Association, he trained several outstanding basketball officials who worked in the National Basketball Association. Hansborough served as a surrogate father to many children in Harlem and a mentor to some who became professional athletes. He married Audrey Solomon, a former Parks employee and Department of Social Services District Director, in 1971. Though Hansborough retired from Parks in 1975, he returned to work as a Community Service Aide in Manhattan from 1976 to 1979. He died in 1981 at the age of seventy-three.
In 1988 Audrey S. Hansborough founded the John Rozier Hansborough Jr. Recreation Center Conservancy in memory of her husband. Under her leadership, the Conservancy established a partnership with City of New York/Parks & Recreation "to promote and monitor the restoration, maintenance and management" of Harlem's parks, playgrounds, and recreation centers. In 1994 the Manhattan Borough President funded a $1,259,000 capital project to improve access to the recreation center by installing an elevator, ramps, and outside lighting and by renovating the bathrooms for the handicapped. New fencing, lighting, and flooring were installed on the building's roof to provide a dramatic setting for special events.

Beckham helps White Sox beat Twins 4-2
White Sox back in first place
CHICAGO — Gordon Beckham hit a two-run homer and Hector Santiago won in his first major league start as the Chicago White Sox beat the Minnesota Twins 4-2 on Monday night.
After falling out of sole possession of first place in the AL Central on Sunday night following a 1-6 road trip and being swept by the Tigers, the White Sox won the first of a 10-game homestand. They moved a game up on Detroit, which lost to Cleveland 3-2.
Many of the White Sox players watched the Tigers' last out before going out to stretch while manager Robin Ventura practiced his putting in his office.
The White Sox have won eight straight at home and 22 of their last 27 at U.S. Cellular Field.
Jamey Carroll hit his first home run in three seasons for the Twins, who are 25 games below .500.
