Philosophy Student Publishes Article in International Journal
Apr. 24, 2013
ST. LOUIS, April 24, 2013 – When philosophy major Mark McGinn graduates in December,
he'll have an impressive addition to his resume – published writer. McGinn recently
had a paper printed in "Stance: An International Undergraduate Philosophy Journal."
The article "Instrumentalism and Poetic Thinking: A Critique of Dewey's Logic of Thought"
appears in the April 2013 issue of the journal.
"Instrumentalism is the view that thinking, in order to be legitimated, must bring about some physical change in the world, that it must reorder the existing conditions of life," said McGinn. "While I acknowledge that this notion accurately describes a good deal of the kind of thinking that goes on in the world (for example, in politics and social reform), I argue that it does not account for the more aesthetic kinds of thinking that take place in poetry and literature for example, which do not effect a physical alteration in the world but rather an alteration in the perception and understanding of its readers."
McGinn began working on the article in October of 2012 under the guidance of Donald Morse, Ph.D, associate professor of Philosophy.
In a letter to Webster University's philosophy department, Kiley Neal, editor-in-chief of Stance said, "We are grateful for Mr. McGinn's excellent submission. His work reflects well on your department. We hope you will continue to encourage Webster students to submit their work to Stance in the future."
"The Philosophy Department is proud that Mark's article was published in Stance," said Britt-Marie Schiller, Ph.D, professor and Philosophy Department chair. "Our students work hard and many do excellent work. It is very rewarding to see this work recognized by others in our field."
McGinn has also presented the paper at both the 18th Annual SUNY Oneonta Undergraduate Philosophy Conference in Oneonta, NY, and the 17th Annual Pacific University Undergraduate Philosophy Conference

Alex Rios hit his career-high 25th homer and the Chicago White Sox gave their playoff hopes a major boost, beating Tampa Bay 3-1.
Alex Rios hit his career-high 25th homer and the Chicago White Sox gave their playoff hopes a major boost, beating Tampa Bay 3-1 on Friday night to end the Rays' eight-game winning streak.
The White Sox got a bit of a reprieve after dropping eight of nine and moved within one game of first-place Detroit in the AL Central. The Tigers lost to Minnesota 4-2.
The Rays began the night two games behind Oakland for the second AL wild-card spot. But they came up short in this one, ending a streak that launched them back into playoff contention.
Both teams have five games remaining, including two against each other.
The White Sox won thanks to a big effort at the plate by Rios and a strong showing by the bullpen after Gavin Floyd (11-11) struggled with his control.
Rios' drive leading off the fourth against Jeremy Hellickson (9-11) broke a 1-all tie. Rios added to the lead when he started the sixth with a double off the left-field wall and came around on Alexei Ramirez's two-out single.
The crowd cheered that, but the biggest roar came later, when the Tigers-Twins game ended.
Floyd gave up two hits over five innings, including a solo homer to Ben Zobrist in the first, but struggled in a big way with his control. He walked five, and of the 105 pitches he threw, only 57 were strikes.
Even so, he got his first win at home since July 23.
Jesse Crain threw 2 2-3 scoreless innings, matching his longest outing since April 28, 2010, against Detroit. He left after hitting Evan Longoria with a two-out pitch in the eighth.
Matt Thornton walked pinch-hitter Sean Rodriguez before Nate Jones retired Jeff Keppinger on a groundout to end the threat.
Donnie Veal struck out pinch-hitter Ben Francisco leading off the ninth before Addison Reed retired the final two batters for his 29th save in 33 chances.
Hellickson allowed three runs and nine hits in 5 2-3 innings for Tampa Bay.
The White Sox were in first place for 117 days this season. Now, they're simply trying to stay in contention and time is running out.
Floyd was far from dominant in his fourth start back after spending time on the disabled list because of a right elbow flexor strain. Things certainly weren't looking good for him when Zobrist drove the first pitch he saw out to right for his 19th homer with two outs in the first, but the Rays came away empty in the second and third even though they had two runners on in each inning.
The White Sox tied it in the third when Gordon Beckham led off with a single, advanced to second on Hellickson's errant pickoff throw and came around on Kevin Youkilis' single. Then, in the fourth, Rios broke the tie with a leadoff drive that gave him a personal-best 89 RBIs to go with his career high in homers.
NOTES: Rays C Jose Molina (right quad strain) was out of the starting lineup for a third straight game. ... Rios made a nice running catch on Matt Joyce's drive to the right-field corner with two runners on in the second. ... Chicago manager Robin Ventura said Jose Quintana will start Sunday's series finale, with ace David Price pitching for the Rays. Chris Sale starts Saturday for Chicago and Matt Moore goes for Tampa Bay. ... Ventura on the Rays' recent surge: "You're jealous. I can tell you that right now. We'd like to have that, but again, they've earned it."

A Haskell Lover's Plea
From email@example.com Thu Mar 16 18:03:34 1995 From: email@example.com Subject: A Haskell Lover's Plea
A Haskell Lover's Plea
Why should I renounce for you, dear Haskell, My much yearned for side-effects? Why should I face the software dragons Without my weapon, my manly spear of destruction? They call you non-strict, oh so elegant and pure Ariel. Yet side-effect celibacy is surely severe.
Your flesh is too weak, you brutish beast. The tarpit demons of software hell await you! This sinful habit in which you indulge Does more harm than good. Restrain yourself! And you too will see The wondrous and refined joys of referential transparency!
Alas, I can do without goto, without call/cc. But sans side-effects, I am lost and forlorn, can't you see? Oh, lady fairer yet than admirable Miranda (tm), Scheme's prolix, parenthetical tedium Is no match for your elegant syntax. What's more, Your list comprehensions outshine even Prolog for sure...
Ah, flatter me not, you low-spirited Caliban! Do you not know what advantages await Those who renounce destructive update? Start with an immaculate high-level specification, Throw in some algebraic code transformation. Soon you will have a provably correct and maintainable implementation.
Show mercy on mere mortals like me! How I dream still of the efficient pleasures of pointer manipulation! How I too wish to mutate memory with thoughts born of von Neumann earthiness! Relent! Relent! Let me have my assignment, my printf, my gensym. Let me fulfill my destructive impulses. Let me set bang. Let me update. Let me assign. Let me mutate.
Fear not, lowly beast, I have heard your pleas. To satisfy your low-level desire I'll give you monads, linear types, MADTs, Even single-threaded polymorphic lambda calculi. My beauty may suffer, still I will aspire To let you do (within typeful limits) what you please.
Rejoice! Rejoice! I'm free! I'm free! The best of both worlds is mine at last. Oh, infinite progeny of Church, Hope, and ML, I curry favor not when I say: Scan me right, fold me left, Lazy lady of many shapes, you've got class.

"Burning Man," Dierks Bentley is actually a family man who cherishes their time together when he is not on tour.
Recently, Dierks caught an opportunity to showcase his family in the official music video supporting his single, 'Living.' The country star enlisted his 5-year-old son, Knox to co-star in the video with the idea that the footage would simply reflect the two just being themselves and literally 'living' their typical laidback lifestyle together.
Go behind the scenes of Dierk's life and see this father – son duo play with puppies, take on arcade games, and giggle at the waterpark together in the video below.

Corel announced today the availability of a new word processing application, WordPerfect Lightning. The software is currently available as a free beta to Windows users, and involves a partnership with Joyent, a company that provides online collaboration software and backup services. Through WordPerfect Lightning, users will be able to back up documents, contacts, e-mails, and other data to a free Joyent Connector account on the web, which provides 200MB of storage to Lightning users.
Other components of WordPerfect Lightning include a "Viewer" that can open common document files such as PDFs, Microsoft Word docs, and WordPerfect files. There is also a "Navigator" for file organization and a "Notes" feature, which acts as a clipboard for Internet text and images and what Corel describes as a "a lightweight word processor and note taking utility."
The app is not a WordPerfect replacement—it appears to focus mostly on being a bridge between traditional desktop documents and the Internet. However, what users can do through the Joyent connection—e-mail, calendars, and address book syncing—doesn't seem to match up to most of the desktop app's features. The Joyent side appears to be the only part of Lightning that is collaborative, "enabling team members to share information and collaborate on projects," according to Corel. While users may be able to store their documents online, it doesn't appear as if they'll be able to edit them directly online or allow others to do so, like Google Docs currently does.
Is this mishmash of features supposed to be Corel's answer to the recent popularity of web-based productivity tools? Market research company Nielsen/NetRatings recently said that web-based tools, such as Google Docs and Spreadsheets, could eventually take over the desktop app market, although that would not occur anytime in the immediate future. Corel, like Microsoft, could be looking to help its current user base collaborate online to meet the challenges presented by Google and other web-based productivity suites.

Police release dash-cam video of Jovan Belcher response
Chiefs player dies by suicide at stadium complex
Kansas City police released dashboard camera video of officers responding to the Arrowhead Stadium complex on the morning of Jovan Belcher's suicide.
The nearly seven-minute video shows police rushing to the stadium complex, which had been under lockdown. Police said they knew they were responding to an incident involving a Chiefs player. They later got the name of Jovan Belcher, but at least one of the people on the police radio wasn't immediately sure who he was.
Police said Belcher appeared at the stadium shortly after killing his girlfriend, Kasandra Perkins, at the couple's home. They had a 2-month-old baby girl together.
Belcher spoke to head coach Romeo Crennel, defensive coordinator Gary Gibbs and General Manager Scott Pioli. Police said Belcher ducked behind a vehicle, knelt and shot himself in the head when he realized police had arrived at the scene.
The dash-cam video appears to end before the shooting happened.

If someone has a slick trick for keeping the keyboard awake so that simply holding down the option key works, that would be excellent. Thanks in advance for any helpful replies.

Happy Birthday, Brett Favre. Blow out your candles and settle in for the 10 a.m. Favre Update.
• He's had his share of controversies during his 20 years in the NFL. The heavy drinking. The Vicodin addiction. The retirement. Coming out of retirement. The bitter divorce from the Packers. The dreadful ending to his one year with the Jets. The retirement. Coming out of retirement. Signing with the Vikings. The two grudge matches last year against the Packers.
But Deadspingate has got to be the most humiliating for this husband, father and grandfather [New York Daily News]
• During halftime of Saturday's Pitt-Notre Dame game, NBC's Peter King advanced the ongoing Brett Favre story by pointing out that former Jets sideline reporter Jenn Sterger will cooperate with the NFL's review/investigation of allegations that Favre pursued her and sent inappropriate photos via text message in 2008, while both Sterger and Favre were employed by the Jets. [NBC Sports]
• The most glaring current case-in-point involves the bottom-feeding website Deadspin and its efforts to derail the career and personal life of Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre. [Michael Priebe, possible letter writer/fucking ruiner]
• Will this story be reported Sunday on any of the NFL pregame shows? [New York Daily News]
• Brett Favre will turn 41 years old Sunday, but he likely won't be doing much celebrating after this past week. [Star-Tribune]
• It's all very titillating, of course, which is all that seems to matter in today's new world of communications. The voice mails will draw hits to the website, much like the voice mails that Woods left to one of his mistresses did for another site in the days following his infamous accident. [AP]
• Football legend Brett Favre has been accused of bombarding an attractive female sideline reporter with steamy voicemails and X-rated photos of a man's private parts. The unimpressed brunette beauty apparently blocked the sports hero's advances. [DailyMail.co.uk]
• Even if Brett Favre did call, text and send pictures to a woman he knew on the Jets football staff, so what? Americans have turned out to be the most puritanical yet hypocritical in the modern world when it comes to sex. [Mobile Tribune]

Motorists are paying the highest prices for gas since October 2008.
Retail gasoline prices rose on Thursday on an expected increase in demand and as more expensive spring and summer blends of gasoline make their way to the pumps.
The nationwide average hit $2.799 per gallon, a penny higher than Wednesday, according to AAA, Wright Express and Oil Price Information Service.
Prices have now jumped 18.9 cents in the past month and are 87.9 cents higher than year-ago levels. Back on Oct. 23, 2008 prices averaged $2.8215 per gallon.
The Energy Department and many industry experts expect prices to top $3 this spring.
Gasoline prices tend to move higher in the spring as more drivers hit the road and refiners shut down units for maintenance, as they prepare to make more expensive summer blends of gasoline with fewer smog-causing emissions.
Wholesale gasoline prices also are at their highest point since October 2008.
Americans now spend about a $1 billion a day to keep their cars and trucks filled, an increase of nearly $300 million from a year ago.
With the average driver using about 50 gallons a month of fuel, the bill runs $140 per month and is expected to rise over the next several weeks.
The hit from gas prices comes as oil prices backed off their two-month highs on Thursday.
Crude prices fell 96 cents to $81.97 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract rose $1.23 to settle at $82.93 on Wednesday, the highest settlement price since Jan. 6 when prices closed at $83.18 a barrel.
Oil has traded between about $70 and $85 for months as economic reports waver on the strength of the economic recovery in the U.S., the biggest consumer of oil.
"The question is, fundamentally right now in the world is $85 justified?" said Phil Flynn of PFGBest.
While oil and gasoline prices have been rising, natural gas prices have done the opposite.
Prices fell nearly 4 percent Thursday after the Energy Information Administration said natural gas stockpiles shrank less than expected last week.
Prices have dropped more than 30 percent since the beginning of the year.
Despite a bitterly cold winter in much of the country that has driven strong demand, abundant supplies have kept a lid on prices.
In other Nymex trading in April contracts, heating oil fell 2.68 cents to $2.1127 a gallon, and gasoline dropped 2.36 cents to $2.2861 a gallon. Natural gas slid 20.9 cents to $4.094 per 1,000 cubic feet.
In London, Brent crude was down 79 cents at $81.17 on the ICE futures exchange.

• Rafael Nadal leads Roger Federer 1-0 in 2011. [Daily Mail]
• And, finally, from the "Hickey's Biased" coverage files ... This one's dedicated to NBC Off The Bench's Rick Chandler. In his ultra-original "look-at-the-dumb-Philly-fans" story, based primarily on his posts from earlier in the year, he managed to:
• misspell the name of Frankford High School,
• act as if booing Snooki is improper,
• claim a middle school is in Philly despite the fact that it's 83 miles away,
• equate Philadelphia soccer-fan cursing with hooliganism by somehow thinking rowdy EPL fans would travel overseas for a promotional Man U preseason tour,
• moronically maintain that foul-ball interference in July is on par with Bartman's NLCS performance,
• and state that the guy who streaked an Obama rally in October was "a Philadelphian" when he's actually "a New Yorker."
I'll be sure to put in a good word with the people at Comcast, Rick.

Daily Slice: Sausage Heaven at Zuppardi's, West Haven, Connecticut
A different slice profiled each day.
Slice is no stranger to Zuppardi's. This New Haven-style joint just over the border in West Haven has "The Best Clam Pizza" Ed Levine has ever had. But on a recent visit, I had another pie in my sights altogether.
That would be Zuppardi's homemade sausage pizza—I'm fairly certain it has no peer in the state of Connecticut. The juicy pork sausage is laced softly with fennel, providing an ideal pairing for molten mozzarella and a bubbly, crisp-yet-chewy crust.
The hunks of sausage are generously-sized crumbles scattered strategically across each pie. They also appear to serve a very important purpose. The fresh mozzarella practically slides across the top of the pizza, and the miniature icebergs of sausage at least appear to anchor the river of cheese, which itself is surrounded by ribbons of a fresh tomato sauce. These three toppings served piping hot are all you need on this pie.
Remember to order your mozzarella at Zuppardi's; like at most New Haven style pizzerias, mozz is considered an optional topping, and a plain pie comes without it. Your waitress will most likely remind you, though.
What makes this and every Zuppardi's pie go from good to great is the crust. A crisp medium char and ever-so-slight flakiness on the outside and a few nicely-sized bubbles on the crust's edge belie a chewy interior. A peek below and you'll find a heavily floured undercarriage. Taken alone, the crust has the texture and chew of a baguette a l'ancienne, the more yeasty and rustic version of a baguette.
Biting into the first slice, I found myself sheepishly counting the many hours spent in line spent waiting for Pepe's, Sally's, and Modern. All just a stone's throw from where I sat and ate my sausage pie in bliss. This place is definitely worth the price of admission and perhaps even a road trip or two.
Once your sausage-greased hands pay the bill and you waddle toward the door, you may notice a small freezer of frozen pies ready to be taken home. A nice touch, made especially difficult to resist once you are in the post-sausage afterglow.

(Philadelphia, PA) September 6, 2012 – Fuji Bikes is pleased to announce that it will be the official bike sponsor of the highest ranked German professional cycling team, Team NetApp-Endura, for the 2013 and 2014 seasons.
Penned at Eurobike in Friedrichshafen, Germany on Friday, August 31st, the 2-year sponsorship agreement marks Fuji's re-entry into the top level of pro tour racing after its tumultuous season with Geox-TMC in 2011. The season culminated with Juan Jose Cobo's grand tour win at the Vuelta a España but came to a crashing halt when the team's title sponsors chose to exit the sport, leaving riders, staff, and other sponsors in a late-year scramble to find new homes for 2012.
"I truly believe that as a brand in the competitive world of premium bicycle manufacturing, sponsorship of top teams and top riders is crucial to establishing credibility for our products," said Karen Bliss, VP of marketing at Advanced Sports – parent company of Fuji Bikes. "And it's equally vital to our product development. These riders provide us with the information that allows us to produce the best bicycles in the world."
"With NetApp-Endura, we have the opportunity to be 'in the game' again, as well as boost our European sales strategy," said Armin van Hoogstraten, general manager of Advanced Sports GmbH, headquartered in Mutlangen, Germany. "Now on board with reliable, organized partners and the best professional cycling team in the country, we will be able to further grow the Fuji brand, especially in Germany."
Established in 2010 as a German pro continental team, NetApp produced its best season this year, tallying 10 wins and two Giro d'Italia stage podiums. The team hopes to have a chance at a wildcard pick for the 2013 Tour de France.
The 20-rider 2013 squad, to be announced in the coming weeks, will ride Fuji's grand tour-winning Altamira, a frame manufactured using Fuji's unique High Compaction (HC) molding process that eliminates wrinkles and excess resin build-up in the carbon fiber layers – giving the frame more strength in crucial joint areas, such as the bottom bracket and head tube junctions, and reducing weight. ETC chainstays, a tapered head tube, BB86 bottom bracket, and super-thin seatstays make it an all-around competition platform that excels on the climbs.
Fuji's SST will also be available to riders. Designed for explosive sprinters who need a super stiff frame that can handle the rigors of the spring Classics and the direct-connect acceleration required in the final sprint, the SST features Fuji's patented RIB (Reinforced I-Beam) technology in the fork and downtube, which amplifies stiffness for a more responsive ride and razor-sharp steering precision. Its aero-shaped tubes offer torsional rigidity, and its ETC asymmetrical chainstays offset drivetrain-induced flex for superior power transfer.
In addition to Fuji, the team will also race road bars, seatposts, stems, and aero bars from Oval Concepts, a premium components brand owned by Fuji parent company Advanced Sports.
"The team will get their pick from our vast line of components designed to provide optimal fit for each rider's needs," said John Solinsky, Oval Concepts product and brand manager.
Additional technical sponsors include Shimano components and Vittoria tires. Other sponsors to be announced at the end of the month.

Mr. Morris,
No one is planning on building 12 Walmarts here. Pleasanton is/was a city of "Planned Progress". We historically have balanced residential, commercial, and recreational areas to make it such a great place to live today.

Voters and citizens of Pleasanton should be outraged at Thorne's childish rants. He previously called Dan Faustina a 'sex offender' a couple of elections ago so that speaks volumes about Thorne's character (or lack of character). He is a hypocrit, controlled by developers' money and is more interested in spewing disinformation than he is in encouraging reasonable debate.
Thorne held up the Staples Ranch Memorandum of Understanding with Alameda County for 18 months because of his own last minute private back room deal to put a 4-rink commercial ice arena on the property.
Thorne is a classic NIMBY and also protested proposed lighted sports fields in his neighborhood back at the December 6, 1994 city council meeting because he said the lights would be "adverse" for his own neighborhood if it was expanded to include lighted sports fields. Then as a Parks and Recreation Commissioner he went on to write his own referendum co-written by the then chair of the Planning Commission (but signed by her husband) to put lighted sports fields miles away from his house on the San Francisco Bernal Property. Look at his record ---- the definition of "elitist NIMBY hypocrit" IS Jerry Thorne.

Wow, Tom H.
You say Jerry Thorne 'doesn't want reasonable debate,' and he 'spews disinformation.' Take a look at your message and think rationally about who's the one who sounds childish.
And oh, by the way, you might want to try 'spellcheck' before you send something in. Just a thought.

I'd have to agree with Tom H. He's just stated facts. Jerry Thorne has sold out to developer's long ago. You can't trust in the things that he says because he shoots from the hip and the only time he makes logical statements are when he knows he will be quoted and then they are all rehearsed. It's sad what our city council has become in this town. A bunch of sell outs and hypocrits. Take a look at their stance on the new Home Depot and why they are the only ones who feel it will benefit our community. They don't care about all the additional traffic, etc, etc..... It's all about the money. Last time I checked we were doing pretty well, moneywise.

I find it nothing short of amazing that Tom H would attack Jerry Thorne concerning the Staples Ranch issue. Jerry has put his credibility on the line with Staples Ranch...regardless of what has transpired in the past...today is what we're dealing with...and we should be grateful at least one member of the council is putting himself out there to try to protect what should be a wonderful addition to the City of Pleasanton. As for being NIMBY...oh please...Matt, Ann, Brian and Matt should be ashamed of their flimsy attempts to disguise this as an
"Open Space" issue. They don't care about Open Space...they're so totally NIMBY it's embarrassing...to themselves..and to Pleasanton. My two cents....Jerry Pentin

Pleasanton baffles. The best letter on this that was published in the Independent and Trivalley Herald a few months ago...........even after the City of Livermore sent Pleasanton a letter asking them to reject housing under the take-off flight path near the runway, Pleasanton forges onward. You'd wonder if the City Council of Pleasanton has bothered to even go out to Staples. They want senior residents there 24 hours a day with 175,000 - 275,000 airport operations a year going on???? Go figure. It makes no sense. Money has got to be driving this because common sense surely can't be.
In what must be one of the most stunningly dumb moves yet, Pleasanton Mayor Jennifer Hosterman is embracing the development of 800 units of senior housing on the old Staples Ranch property.
Fresh off from what became one of the most contentious public debates in years over the Livermore airport, Mayor Hosterman thinks developing high density housing directly off the end of the primary departure runway would be terrific. Huh? Current residents in homes farther away from the airport are already complaining about the noise. What on earth does the mayor think will result when a couple thousand seniors move into homes that are even closer to the airport?
If Pleasanton insists on developing the property, any number of more appropriate uses come to mind before using it for senior housing. What's next? An elementary school directly below the flight path? Oh wait. I forgot. They have already done that.
At the very least, before the City of Livermore forces pilots and aircraft owners to waste hundreds of thousands of their own dollars supporting an unnecessary noise monitoring system, the City of Livermore needs to get a commitment from Pleasanton to stop their ridiculous encroachment on the airport.

Sorry folks. You are elitest NIMBYS and Jerry Thorne has got it right. The initiative makes no sense for the good of the citizens of Pleasanton except to create an expensive cul-de-sac for the NIMBYS.
Let's be real about this and stop being disingenous. Alameda County is going to otherwise put really intensive commercial development in this spot if the initiative goes forward. Once the MOU becomes moot, it's over folks. Maybe it has already. You ranters can then go onto your next rant.

Clarification of a Myth
The TV show "Antique Roadshow" on PBS has instilled the myth that repairing, refinishing and/or restoring a piece of antique furniture diminishes the value. So let's take a closer look at this myth
- There is a HUGE difference between have "just someone/anybody" refinish a piece of antique furniture with a brush and polyurethane, and having a professional craftsman properly restore and/or refinish a piece of furniture.
- The highest valued pieces are those that are in absolute pristine condition, no one in their right mind will do anything with these pieces
- Very few antiques have significant cultural or historic elements that will be lost in the proper restoration and/or Refinishing process
- Anyone that has ever considered a restoration or refinish on an antique piece has already acknowledged there is an issue with that piece of furniture.
- In my personal opinion this one is the MOST IMPORTANT: The primary purpose of any finish is to protect and beautify the wood beneath it, that is what the original maker of the furniture intended. Once the integrity of the finish has deteriorated through chemical deterioration, dings and scratches from normal use and/or abuse, or it has gone dark through the aging process, that original purpose of the finish is no longer being met.
Obviously each of our Restorations, Repairs and/or Refinishes are specific to each individual piece. When asking for a quote you will need to specify exactly what process you would like done. Due to the uniqueness of each restoration, repair and/or refinish it is impossible to give you an exact quote, we work on each of these specialties on a material cost plus our hourly rate. However with over 20 years of experience, we can give you a fairly close range of what it should cost you.
When it comes to antiques there are many things that need to be considered before you have them repaired, finish restoration, refinished or fully restored. First let's define the difference of each of these;
- Repair: Physical structural replacement or reinforcement of parts of the original piece. May involve addition of new materials altered to appear aged or the application of antique materials to improve appearance of repair and preserve as much value as possible.
- Finish Restoration: Finish restoration is the process of bringing an existing finish back to life. This involves re-emulsifying the original finish, either shellac or varnish. By using the original solvents to liquefy the solids, their ability to adhere to and penetrate the piece returns. The process also removes the dirt and grime accumulated over years of use. If the finish is very thin, additional layers of the same finish may be applied to bolster the restored finish and ensure longevity.
- Refinishing: Removing a finish and applying a new finish in its place.
- Restorations: Bringing a piece back to close to its original condition including structural and finish repairs.
- Dip Stripping: LaRue Woodworking does not use or recommend this process. Please avoid dip stripping antiques at any cost. Dip stripping in its true sense involves dipping the piece in a chemical bath that will remove finish, patina, and in some cases the glue holding the piece together. Veneering may peel, joints will swell or break apart, the moisture in the wood will be drawn out making it extremely brittle, and the piece usually has to be completely rebuilt, usually at a cost greater than the piece is worth.
Things to consider before Repairing, Refinishing and/or Restoring
- Is the integrity or beauty of the wood of the antique compromised from a worn-off, cracked or completely missing finish?
- Will a cultural or historic element be lost if your antique is repaired, refinished or properly restored?
- How far do you want to take the Refinish or Complete Restoration? Just enough to protect the antique or all the way to a museum quality piece?
- What monetary or sentimental value do you have with your antique? These processes are NOT cheap, but on the other hand you if you are attached to your piece because of sentimental reasons (which is priceless), or just simply love the piece but you don't like looking at a worn, banged-up, abused or broken antique, what are you willing to spend to make it exactly what you want in your home or place of business?
- Do you want to change the color?
- Do you want to have the original type finish put back on it or upgrade to a modern finish? Modern finishes are much better suited to modern day polishes, chemical cleaners, and life styles than old finishes were.

Obese cats are all over the Internet. While some people think a roly-poly Garfield lookalike is cute, vets like me shudder every time we see one because all we can think about are the health consequences of obesity in cats: diabetes, arthritis and hepatic lipidosis (fatty liver disease), to name just a few.
If you have a fat cat, you're not alone. It's one of the most common medical diagnoses in felines, usually due to a combination of overfeeding and under-exercise. A 2011 study from the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention found that 53 percent of cats are overweight.
While the main culprit is usually a matter of simply setting out too much food, cat obesity can have a variety of causes. If you're ready to get your cat in shape, here are a couple of things to keep in mind:
Are you feeding the right diet? It might not be just the volume of food, but the type of food, that is contributing to your cat's waistline. High carbohydrate foods can be a trigger to overeat in some cats, especially considering their carnivorous nature. Consider canned food, which tends to be lower in carbohydrates than kibble, or ask your vet for a recommendation for a low-carbohydrate, high-protein food.
Medical conditions. Cats, like people and dogs, can have hypothyroidism. Although less commonly seen than in other species, this condition can lead to weight gain. A simple blood test can determine if this is a problem in your cat. Any medical condition that causes a decrease in activity, such as arthritis, can also lead to weight gain. Regular veterinary checkups help catch these underlying problems early.
Weight loss is best done gradually in the cat. Obese cats subjected to a sudden change in diet may refuse to eat, triggering a dangerous condition called hepatic lipidosis. Make sure to consult your veterinarian before embarking on a weight loss plan. Good luck, and happy losing!

Erwin Rommel
1891–1944, German Field Marshal.
He entered the army in 1910 and rose slowly through the ranks. In 1939, Adolf Hitler made him a general. Rommel brilliantly commanded an armored division in the attack (1940) on France. In Feb., 1941, he took the specially trained tank corps, the Afrika Korps, into Libya. For his successes there he was made field marshal and earned the name "the desert fox." In 1942 he pressed almost to Alexandria, Egypt, but was stalled by fierce British resistance and lack of supplies. A British offensive overwhelmed (Oct.-Nov., 1942) the German forces at Alamein (see North Africa, campaigns in).
Rommel was recalled to Germany before the Afrika Korps's final defeat. He was a commander in N France when the Allies invaded Normandy in June, 1944. Allied success led Rommel, who had lost his respect for Hitler, to agree to a plot to remove Hitler from office. Wounded in an air raid in July, he had just recovered when he was forced to take poison because of his part in the attempt on Hitler's life in July, 1944.
See his memoirs and correspondence of World War II. (The Rommel Papers, ed. by B. H. Liddell Hart, 1953); biography by Desmond Young (1950; repr. 1969); studies by Ronald Lewin (1968, repr. 1972) and Charles Douglas-Hume (1973

I get it, Magic Trackpad. You don't want any gaudy cords messing up the smooth lines of your industrial design. But some of us prefer USB power over batteries—and we will not be denied.
This simple, non-invasive hack requires only a wooden dowel (approximately Magic Trackpad battery-circumferenced) with a screw in each end, a USB cord, and some spare wire. Remove your Trackpad batteries, strip the USB cord—carefully—down to red and black wires, and attached them to the corresponding poles of the adaptor. Like so:
And there you have it! It may not be as pretty, but it's way more efficient and green—assuming that the Magic Trackpad doesn't mind the 5V of USB power instead of the 3V two AA batteries will give you.
Assuming it does—and so far, there aren't any indications this has been a problem—the hack will also save you from having to buy one of those $30 battery chargers that are probably just Sanyos anyway. Magic! [MacRumors Forums via Hack A Day]

When you combine the incendiary oomph of the Mushroom Kingdom's fireflowers and the myriad talents of the various Angry Birds, green pig flesh explodes all over the screen.
The video above—made by amateur filmmakers CC Megaproductions—isn't quite as gory as all that. But it does imagine what might happen if Nintendo's mascot found himself in the middle of the never-ending war between Rovio's avian and porcine species.
As you might think, the Angry Birds' mortal enemies don't really stand a chance against this heroic team-up. But you don't really see the Bad Piggies and Goombas strategizing to making the most out of this impromptu crossover. Either Bowser roasted up the Piggies for a light snack or more action awaits the Mario/Birds team. Let's see the answer in a follow-up, eh?

The Republican Senate candidates Thad Cochran and Chris McDaniel on Monday continued to make their case to Mississippi voters as part of their closing arguments before Tuesday's runoff election.
About 100 supporters here waved American flags as Senator John McCain of Arizona jumped on the campaign trail with Mr. Cochran to address veterans' issues. He spoke at the Mississippi War Memorial Building, which had the inscription, "Remember the dead too have voices." Mr. Cochran's surrogates pitched the incumbent senator's record to fellow former service members…
"Not only the eyes of the nation, the eyes of the world will be on this election tomorrow," Mr. McCain said.
Cochran stands on the pickup bed while his friends in Mississippi's high places — Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann, Commissioner of Agriculture Cindy Hyde-Smith and Central District Transportation Commissioner Dick Hall — brag about how much money he has brought to the state.
"Welcome to the real Mississippi campaign," Cochran spokesman Jordan Russell says (he was the guy who ran into his football coach). Cochran nods slowly while his friends speak, takes the microphone when it is handed to him and says in a quiet, contented voice: "Thank you for your generous — if not exaggerated to some extent — comments. I liked it."
It all felt so comfortable, so familiar. And maybe that's the problem.
And this is what Martin and other tea partiers are banking on. Mississippi has perennially ranked last in categories including median family income and various health and education metrics, while also topping Gallup's list of most conservative states. That's a tough place for a moderate senator who hasn't seen the state climbing the ranks.
A staffer for Sen. Thad Cochran's (R-MS) re-election campaign was fired after he was arrested and accused by police of stealing campaign signs for Cochran's primary opponent, state senator Chris McDaniel.
Lee Ellis Blair, a member of the DeSoto County GOP executive committee and Cochran campaign staffer, was arrested late Sunday and charged with "malicious mischief," according to a partially redacted copy of the police report provided to Breitbart News.
"He's fired. Unlike Chris McDaniel, we don't tolerate that type of behavior," said Cochran's spokesman, Jordan Russell, in an email.
I think that Mississippians are being snookered by neocon zealots on talk radio, Fox News, and elsewhere. The New Right values extremism, obstructionism, partisanship, and–frankly–ignorance. I am disappointed to realize that the New Right seems to want to walk hand-in-hand with the horrible strain of anti-intellectualism that sees universities as vocational schools and vilifies anyone expert in a field as somehow not living in the "real world" or representative of "real people." But because no one can be an expert, everyone is, which is where the New Right finds its loudest voices: those with no training, education, or experience shouting down those who bring expertise to the table. I think this is the reason that so many seem swayed by my father's opponent: he is valued for his lack. Lack of experience (he is not a "career politician.") Lack of wisdom (he relies solely on Jesus, the Constitution, and common sense*–combined in the veneer of "goodness"). Lack of judgment (he vows to refuse federal monies and to try to impede legislation). Lack of specificity (what are "Mississippi values"?). Lack of perspective (how does he believe for one moment that a junior Senator from the poorest state will have any influence in Washington? How can he believe that he will not want his family to live with him in the D.C. area?). I see these "qualities" as a disingenuous pose, engineered to appeal to the very worst in our electorate. Hence, the illegal and immoral actions of his followers make sense–both in my mother's nursing home and at the Hinds County Courthouse–because he trades in mindless fanaticism. I find his campaign appalling on intellectual, moral, and idealist levels. The fact that Mississippi voters are even considering his candidacy saddens me more than I can say. Mississippi used to be recognized as the most backward, prejudiced, ignorant holdback in our nation, hands down. This sea change makes me very afraid that we might deserve that mantle.
Late Sunday, the McDaniel campaign posted a response on its Facebook page that includes a black and white picture of Kate Cochran against a black backdrop. "Thad Cochran's daughter has 'damaging' words to describe CHRIS MCDANIEL…" the post reads. It includes the quote from Cochran's posting about McDaniel, that "he relies solely on Jesus, the Constitution, and common sense."
The image includes two hashtags: #ThankYouKate and #Who'sYaDaddy?
In the days before Tuesday's runoff election to decide Mississippi's Republican Senate primary, Cochran, lagging behind his tea party challenger, has sharply focused his message on armed-services issues, hoping his years of appropriating millions for the state's bases and his traditional GOP worldview will give him an eleventh-hour boost…
Cochran, 76, in an interview, described his outlook as that of a "patriotic American," and he said that he will tout it as he tries to connect with the frustrated conservatives who look unfavorably on his votes to increase federal spending but still support a robust national defense…
"McDaniel is saddling up with Ron Paul and peaceniks," said Henry Barbour, a Republican consultant who directs a pro-Cochran political action committee. "Senator Cochran is the only veteran in this race, the only one who deeply understands veterans, our state's facilities and the importance of promoting freedom."
It's not clear which candidate would benefit from higher or lower turnout. Last time, the conventional wisdom held that Mr. Cochran needed a high turnout to prevail, but there was ultimately a case that Mr. McDaniel, who is backed by the Tea Party, benefited more from irregular voters than Mr. Cochran did.
Polls showed that Mr. Cochran held an edge among older voters, who tend to turn out more reliably in low-turnout elections. Regional variations in turnout tended to work slightly to Mr. McDaniel's advantage: Mr. Cochran would have led by about two-tenths of a percentage point if turnout had held at 2012 levels in the counties where turnout increased. That's because turnout surged in Mr. McDaniel's home base, the so-called Piney Woods or Pine Belt region of the southeastern part of the state, where Mr. McDaniel won by about two to one. Mr. McDaniel avoided defeat by the margin of his home county, Jones County, where Mr. McDaniel won more than 80 percent of the vote and turnout surged by 50 percent over 2012…
Mr. Cochran, on the other hand, is targeting the state's Democratic — which is to say black — voters, who traditionally make up only the tiniest fraction of the state's overwhelmingly white Republican primary electorate. Just 2 percent of voters in the 2012 Republican presidential primary were black. If Mr. Cochran succeeds in attracting crossover voters, it will further his edge in the Delta, in the heavily black counties along the east bank of the Mississippi River, and in Jackson's Hinds County.
Scott Simmons, an anchor for WAPT in Jackson, Miss., tweeted on Wednesday afternoon that, when he asked Cochran why he's courting Democrats to vote for him, Cochran said: "I used to be a Democrat."
Simmons also paraphrased Cochran as suggesting, "Why not?" when asked why Democrats should vote for him.
Cochran has been a Republican since at least 1968, when he led Richard Nixon's presidential campaign efforts in Mississippi—though he did grow up as a Democrat. Born in 1937, Cochran didn't leave the Democratic Party for the GOP until the mid-to-late 1960s.
"We've got efforts reaching out to black voters in Mississippi who want to vote for Thad because they like what Thad is for," said Austin Barbour, a Cochran campaign adviser. "Thad Cochran is someone who, even with his conservative message, represents all of Mississippi. He's not some hostile screamer."
Mr. Cochran had been a friend to Mississippi's blacks during his six terms, Mr. Crudup said, and deserved African-American support in this difficult race. But the more powerful reason for blacks to turn out for Mr. Cochran may be his opponent, Mr. McDaniel. As a talk-show host, he has made racially tinged comments, suggesting he would not pay taxes if it meant supporting reparations for slavery, and using speech that some believe harks back to an earlier segregationist era.
Mr. McDaniel and his supporters portray Mr. Cochran's effort as an act of desperation, but they are careful to criticize the senator for reaching out to Democrats rather than blacks. "The idea that he would have to reach out to liberal Democrats in an effort to save his candidacy just shows how far to the left he's gone over the past 42 years," said Mr. McDaniel, who has run an anti-Washington campaign fueled by Tea Party support.
The GOP Senate primary in Mississippi continues to intensify with the surfacing of a robocall aimed at potential voters that strongly criticizes the tea party and urges the listeners to vote against state Sen. Chris McDaniel in Tuesday's runoff vote.
In the automated message appearing to target black Democrat voters in Mississippi, the female voice on the line claims that tea party challenger Chris McDaniel would lead to more obstruction in Washington and create more "disrespectful treatment" to the nation's first African-American president.
"The time has come to take a stand and say NO to the tea party," the message says. "NO to their obstruction. NO to their disrespectful treatment of the first African-American president."
Kenneth T. Cuccinelli II, president of the Senate Conservatives Fund, a political action committee that has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars backing Mr. Cochran's Tea Party opponent, State Senator Chris McDaniel, said in an interview on Sunday that his group was joining with Freedom Works and the Tea Party Patriots in a "voter integrity project" in Mississippi.
The groups will deploy observers in areas where Mr. Cochran is recruiting Democrats, Mr. Cuccinelli said. J. Christian Adams, a former Justice Department official and conservative commentator who said he was advising the effort, described the watchers as "election observers," mostly Mississippi residents, who will be trained to "observe whether the law is being followed."…
Elections experts say that under Mississippi law, outside election observers deployed by political action committees would need authorization from the candidate to challenge any votes. But they are allowed to monitor the election — an effort that Matthew Steffey, an election law expert at the Mississippi College School of Law, said evokes memories of the civil rights struggles of the state's past.
"Some folks think this is not really about legal challenges to individual ballots, but about dissuading or in some cases intimidating voters from coming to the polls to begin with," he said.
One of the groups funneling money into the race? Cochran's fellow officemates, who gave just more than $100,000 to his campaign through their leadership committees between June 3 and 13, according to the Cochran campaign's 48-hour reports from that time period.
In the campaign's final moments, they have stepped in to save one of their own. Part of it is that he's their colleague, and that's just what you do. Another part is that they are allowed to give a maximum donation to Cochran again in the runoff.
But the other part is that the last thing incumbents in Congress want is for potential tea party challengers to be emboldened by McDaniel's success. And thus a fountain of funds rushes from leadership PACs everywhere to Cochran's bank account…
These small donations might not make or break Cochran's chances at the polls, but they matter a whole lot symbolically. Note to future tea-party challengers: your opponent's friends in Congress likely want to end you as much as your opponent does. A wave of tea-party victories is not good for their office feng shui.

Brewed By: Lakefront Brewery Inc.
Purchased: Bangor Wine and Cheese
New Grist poured a very light straw color, looks similar to an apple cider, minimal carbonation visible and no head to speak of.
Very light in smell, the sorghum is noticeable with an almost spicy aroma, reminds me a little bit of farmhouse ale.
At first sip this beer is very crisp and clean, light in flavor, with a thin mouthfeel, mid sip the sorghum flavor shows up but isn't as strong as some beers brewed with sorghum, just a light spiciness. New grist finishes with a slight bitterness and a light citrusy flavor.
Overall a drinkable beer, maybe a bit light in flavor for my taste but I'd recommend this to anyone who prefers a crisp, easy drinking beer that isn't strong on beer flavor.

Solar-powered plane to cross the US in May
The first crossing of the United States by a solar-powered plane is expected to start in just over a month, its creators said on Thursday, as they make final preparations for an attempt two years from now at the first round-the-world flight without any fuel.
Swiss pilot Bertrand Piccard and project co-founder and pilot Andre Borschberg, whose Solar Impulse made its first intercontinental flight from Spain to Morocco last June, aim for their plane to take off from near San Francisco in early May and land at New York's John F. Kennedy airport about two months later.
With the wingspan of a jumbo jet and weighing the same as a small car, the Solar Impulse is just a test model for the team as they build a new aircraft they hope will circumnavigate the globe in 2015.
The project began in 2003 with a 10-year budget of 90 million euros ($112 million) and has involved engineers from Swiss lift maker Schindler and research aid from Belgian chemicals group Solvay -- backers who want to test new materials and technologies while also gaining brand recognition.
Unveiling the current plane at a news conference at Moffett Field on San Francisco Bay, Borschberg highlighted the cramped conditions of the cockpit in the Solar Impulse.
"That's a bad economy seat - you would not fly on this airline," he joked. "The next one should be good business class."
While the current plane was set up for 24-hour flights, the next one would have to allow for up to five days and five nights of flying by one pilot - a feat never yet accomplished.
Meditation and hypnosis were part of the training for the pilots as they prepare to fly on very little sleep, Borschberg said, adding that some sort of autopilot system would have to be built on the next plane to allow for some rest.
The plane runs on about the same power as a motor scooter, he explained, powered by 12,000 solar cells built into the wing that simultaneously recharge the batteries - with storage equivalent to that of a Tesla electric car.
The plane has already flown a 26-hour flight, back in 2010, to prove continuous flight was possible with charging taking place in the day and battery power working at night.
Piccard, asked about the downside of solar-powered flight, agreed that there is a price paid for the small carrying capacity and massive wings.
"In that sense, it is not the easiest way to fly," he said. "But it is the most fabulous way to fly, because the more you fly, the more energy you have on board."
The first stop for the Solar Impulse as it crosses the United States will be Phoenix, followed by Dallas and then one of three cities: Atlanta, Nashville or St. Louis. It will then stop outside Washington D.C. before heading on to New York.
"It carries one pilot and zero passengers, but it carries a lot of messages," Piccard said. "We want to inspire as many people as possible to have that same spirit: to dare, to innovate, to invent."
Piccard has a pioneering legacy to maintain. His grandfather helped his father, Jacques, build a revolutionary submarine that Jacques co-piloted on the deepest-ever dive. Bertrand said he believes the basic idea behind this spirit is to find out what you deeply believe, and then try the opposite.
"Innovation is not about new ideas, it's about getting rid of old ideas."

I've been used to writing logical transformations using equality, but the other day it struck me that perhaps I should be using the biconditional $\iff$?
So my question is: What is the difference between the biconditional iff. $\iff$ and equality = ? Can they be used interchangeably? And when should one be used instead of the other? Is this matter of style? meaning? or correctness?
Simple Examples to illustrate the point: here p,q are propositions, ^ is "and", v is "or", and ~ is "not":
Using equality:
(1) p ^ (q v r) = (p ^ q) v (p ^ r)
(2) p $\Rightarrow$ q = ~ p v q
But is this more correctly written using the biconditional iff.?
(1') p ^ (q v r) $\iff$ (p ^ q) v (p ^ r)
(2') p $\Rightarrow$ q $\iff$ ~ p v q
In rendering into English, are these logically equivalent statements? Equal statements (equality being considered as an equivalence relation that then establishes an equivalence class)? Or is it that the very meaning of equality in the context of logical propositions is iff.?
(Can't find the Community Wiki tag! someone please add it, thanks.)

Bacon Chocolate Chip Biscotti Recipe
These biscotti are infused with smoky, meaty bacon and dotted with rich pockets of chocolate. Each bite yields layer upon layer of mostly-sweet-but-also-savory flavors. Try dunking them in your morning coffee!
They will keep for up to two weeks, stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
- Yield:Makes about 3 dozen
- Active time: 45 minutes
- Total time:About 2 hours
- Rated:
- 5 strips bacon
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Fry bacon in skillet until browned and crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer to paper towel-lined plate to drain. Allow bacon to cool completely. Transfer bacon to food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped. Set aside.
Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt in medium bowl. In large bowl, beat butter and sugar with electric mixer until light and fluffy, two or three minutes. Add eggs one at a time and beat to combine. Add flour mixture and beat until blended. Stir in bacon and chocolate chips. Gather dough in ball and divide in half. Wrap each half in plastic and refrigerate until firm, 20 to 30 minutes.
Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 350ºF. On floured surface, roll each piece of dough out into a 12 to 14-inch log. Trasfer logs to baking sheet spacing them 3 to 4 inches apart. Bake until light golden and dry to the touch, about 30 minutes.
Remove baking sheet from oven. Reduce oven temperature to 300ºF. Allow logs to cool for 15 minutes. Transfer logs to cutting board. Using serrated knife, slice logs on diagonal into 1/2-inch thick slices. Return slices to baking sheet, standing upright, and bake until dry and golden, 20 to 30 minutes.

Sources: Xavier ready to join the new Big East
Xavier is ready to join the reconfigured Big East, which will announce its expansion plans on Wednesday, two sources familiar with the moves told The Associated Press.
Seven Catholic schools split off from the Big East to form a basketball league last week, retaining the name and looking to add schools. The league plans to announce its plans on Wednesday morning in New York City.
Xavier scheduled a news conference following the league's announcement to discuss its move, two persons familiar with the decision told The AP. They spoke on condition of anonymity because the Big East had not announced the additional teams.
Georgetown, St. John's, Providence, Seton Hall, Villanova, Marquette and DePaul are leaving the Big East -- and taking the conference name with them -- to form a basketball league, looking to add teams. Xavier was one of the most attractive to the new league -- a Jesuit school with a history of basketball success.
The Musketeers missed out on the NCAA tournament this season, playing with a young lineup. They had been one of only eight teams to make the tournament each of the last seven seasons. They reached the round of 16 last year.
Xavier joined the Atlantic 10 in 1995 after 16 years in the Midwestern Collegiate Conference. The Musketeers grew into one of the league's most dominant teams, winning at least a share of five straight regular-season titles while making all those NCAA tournament appearances.
It's the first loss for the A-10, which added Butler and Virginia Commonwealth for this season, bringing its membership to 16 schools. It started as a basketball-only league in 1975 with eight schools. Five of its teams got into the NCAA tournament this year.

After Wednesday's game against Real Salt Lake, the Los Angeles Galaxy do not play a league match until June 26.
While the Galaxy boast the league's best record at 10-0-2 and sit with a comfortable margin in the Western Conference table, the last thing players want is to go into this upcoming break with a loss weighing on their minds.
"We're focused 100 percent on this game and getting a good result," Galaxy defender Gregg Berhalter said. "We're going away from home and we are going to stick to a game plan and we're going to try and get three points out of that game."
The Galaxy will visit Rio Tinto Stadium and thus will close out their participation against the defending MLS Cup champions. Previously, the teams met at Home Depot Center with the Galaxy claiming a 2-1 win.
Players said if they go into the stadium with the right mindset, good things will happen.
"We've got to go in there confident and try to get the win," defender Omar Gonzalez said. "We're doing really well together. The whole team knows that if we put the effort in defense we will get our chances on offense. From the forwards to [goalkeeper] Donovan [Ricketts], we're all doing real well working together and getting in the right spots."
Like the Galaxy, RSL have sacrificed for the good of the US national team. Robbie Findley is in South Africa along with Landon Donovan and Edson Buddle. And like the Galaxy, RSL have continued to pull out results.
Real Salt Lake pulled out a scoreless draw against DC United which extended their unbeaten run to six games. Alvaro Saborio, MLS' Player of the Month for May, and Fabian Espindola figure to key the attack while Javier Morales is a dangerous man in the midfield.
"They're a good team, probably one of the best teams in the league so it's going to be difficult for us," Berhalter said. "We just have to go in with the right mindset and that we're going there to get a result. We have to be a hard team to beat and just keep doing what we've been doing."
One major plus on the Galaxy's side is their road form. Their six matches away from Home Depot Center this year could not have gone much better: 10 goals scored, zero goals allowed, five wins and one draw.
Perhaps the most eye-popping statistic is their defensive record. Having given up no goals on the road might seem like something to build on. So how does the zero goals allowed on the road factor into the match?
"It doesn't factor into it," Berhalter said. "Every game is different and I think that this is just a new challenge for us. We're going to the game with a clean slate and hoping to keep performing."

Hello everybody, my name is Dylan and I just got myself a Dreamcast 2 days ago! I am excited to be a part of this community, and eventually make a DreamPi modem.
I don't have any games yet, but I actually got this thing in kind of a freak accident. I always read online that this is a very high quality console and heard A LOT about it from Adam Koralik, who is probably part of this forum. Anyway, I bought these Original Xbox games at a store, and spent 40 dollars. Only 1 out of the 3 games I bought worked, and it was Psychonauts (it is actually a really good game, try it out some time). I took them back and wanted money back, but the guy wouldn't give it. Eventually, I got him to give me the Dreamcast and not pay any extra. Not very exciting, but I am still happy about it.
So, I just have one question: Any games you would reccomend? Not any common ones like MvC1+2 and Typing of the Dead, something almost no-one has ever heard of before.
I hope I can be a part of this community and have a LOT of fun doing so!

David Sadowski has posted an overview of some of the PHP frameworks out there to help you build REST APIs. Among those mentioned are things like Frapi, Laravel and Slim.
A number of articles on websites strive to give directions which framework(s) should be chosen whereas in fact there is no "one fits all" solutions for different purposes or technologies. Therefore, herewith a compiled list of some most popular and actively developed PHP REST API frameworks worth consideration and further evaluation on your project basis.
For each tool on the list, he includes a brief summary of what they are, some of the features they provide and a link to find out more about them. It's not really so much of a comparison post but more about putting them out there and letting you figure out which is the best.
