SEATTLE—When the game was over, Yu Darvish felt the need to apologize.
The latest challenge in his season-long education of pitching in the majors did not go well.
"I wasn't able to go deep in the game as a starter should," Darvish said through a translator.
Ichiro Suzuki and the Seattle Mariners chased Darvish after just four innings in his shortest start of the season, and the Mariners rolled to their fourth straight win in a 6-1 victory over the Rangers on Monday night.
Seattle became the first team Darvish (6-2) had to face a second time, and for the second time he struggled to solve the Mariners. The Japanese rookie laboured through 96 pitches and a season-high six walks, failing in his bid to become the first seven-game winner in the majors.
Only Seattle's inability to take advantage of a bases-loaded situation in the fourth kept Darvish's line from being worse. He was inconsistent and, combined with a Seattle lineup that knew his penchant for being a bit wild, it added up to the worst outing of an otherwise brilliant two months so far.
"The early part of the game I was OK with my command," Darvish said. "But somewhere in the middle when I really needed to throw a strike, I struggled to get a strike."
While Darvish was darting around the strike zone, the Rangers were getting shut down by Felix Hernandez, who made a strong statement after consecutive rough starts. Hernandez held the top offence in baseball to one run in eight innings, allowing only Mitch Moreland's homer in the eighth.
Hernandez (4-3) allowed six hits, struck out seven and walked two. Moreland's shot was the only offensive highlight for the Rangers, who have homered in 15 straight games.
"Attack and just throw strikes," Hernandez said. "If you get behind against this lineup, it's a problem."
The game was a chance to see how Darvish would handle facing a team the second time around. While he was off to a solid start — subtract the five runs in the first two innings against the Mariners in his debut and his ERA since then is 1.94 — all of his starts were against teams seeing the Japanese star for the first time.
And Seattle had plenty of success — for two innings — when it saw Darvish for the first time back in April. The Mariners rattled Darvish for eight hits and five earned runs that day, but the Rangers gave Darvish enough offence to make that first start a victory.
This time, Seattle had nearly as much offensive success — trading hits for walks — but the Rangers bats were getting silenced by Hernandez.
"If you don't get opportunities against (Hernandez), he knows how to take it to the house and tonight he took it to the house," Texas manager Ron Washington said.
Darvish's troubles started almost immediately. He walked Michael Saunders with one out in the first and Suzuki immediately ripped a shot over first base and down the right-field line. But instead of bouncing off the short wall in foul territory and into the outfield, the ball hit and stayed at the base of the wall. Saunders scored from first and Suzuki strolled into third without a throw and an early lead for Hernandez.
Seattle gave Hernandez a bigger cushion in the third. With two runners on and one out, Suzuki sent a single into shallow centre that scored Dustin Ackley from second. Saunders was aggressive and tried to go first to third on the hit, and instead jogged home when Josh Hamilton's throw from centre soared over third baseman Adrian Beltre and into the Rangers' dugout on the fly. Rookie Jesus Montero followed with a sacrifice fly to deep centre that scored Suzuki.
Darvish continued to struggle in the fourth, walking the bases loaded to start the inning. Ackley's RBI single scored John Jaso, but Darvish got infield groundouts by Saunders and Suzuki and a strikeout of Kyle Seager to end the inning and limit the damage. Montero added an RBI double in the seventh off reliever Yoshinori Tateyama, who was called up on Monday after Neftali Feliz was placed on the 15-day disabled list.
Darvish had pitched into at least the sixth inning of all eight of his previous starts.
"I told him he doesn't have to apologize to me," Washington said. "That's just part of baseball."
NOTES: Texas' streak of 15 straight games with a homer is the longest in the majors this year and the fourth-longest in franchise history . . . With Feliz on the DL, the Rangers announced that Scott Feldman will start Wednesday's series finale in Seattle.

The eucalyptus mist will make your home smell so fresh! Growing up, my mother had eucalyptus plants in the house and anytime I use this spray it takes me back home. The smell is natural and not overpowering. Love it!

My Very Favorite when having Guests
When I am having guest over, I make sure I spray Eucalyptus all around. When they walk in, I always hear "it smells so nice in here". What is that ? You never need to spray too much. A little goes a long way. I have used this fragrance for years. First found it in a little Bath Shop in Coco Beach, Florida.
Long Lasting Fresh
I tried this spray in the past and loved how it covered up odors, made them disappear and left a fresh fragrance for a long time. My sister-in-law asked me of an air freshener I knew of that would make odors disappear and the fragrance would last. I told her of Thymes Eucalyptus spray. She loves it.

Front Page Portallime -- Friday, June 03, 2005 -- 12:16:19 AM
Posts here show up on the front page. This is still in development, so you can still make mistakes. Don't panic--with one exception, Cal and Lime will be forgiving.
The Exception: DO NOT POST COMMENTARY OR RESPONSES IN THIS THREAD! If you forget--and everyone does sometimes--just delete your post. If we have to delete it, Cal will probably be cranky about it. Don't be obtuse.
Eventually, portal posts will be anchored to a thread for responses. For now, if you want to discuss or respond to a portal, just take your responses to the relevant post. Apologies for the occasional duplication of effort, but over time this will be much better than the news/breaking news/discussion craziness that existed before.
Posting Recommendations:
- Make sure the title is meaningful--ideally, the title of the article. The link text can either be a subheading, or something like NY Times Article, AP Story, or whatever.
- Include text--it can either be commented or italicized. Eventually, Lime will standardize this so don't worry.
- If you don't know how to stop an image from bleeding, don't use images. Ask in the HTML Help thread or check the help files for more assistance--but you do need to have enough text to cover the image.
- At this point in time, you can't edit the Title, so be careful. That will change.
- PLEASE AVOID PERSONAL OPINIONS. Try and keep it objective text for now.
- NO BLOG PIMPING. This will change; Lime and I are thinking about how to give bloggers a way to publicize their work, so hang tight for now.
(All users will see what tags exist for a thread. Please tag carefully!)

TOKYO — Kim Jong Il, the North Korean leader who threatened the world with his nuclear weapons ambitions and suppressed his own people with imprisonment and isolation, left in the wake of his death Saturday an antiquated country with a power vacuum.
Kim's death raises immediate questions about the future — and the stability — of perhaps the world's most isolated state, which for six decades has been held together by the Kim family personality cult. Kim was deified by state media, described as the "Dear Leader." A weeping television anchor Monday told North Korea of Kim's death.
Security analysts and officials from Seoul to Washington have long believed that Kim's death would double as a pivot point on the Korean Peninsula. But that poses a threat of its own — as North Korea tries to pass power to Kim's youngest son, Kim Jong Eun, who is in his 20s.

This FOSDEM thing could turn into a habit! Mageia was at FOSDEM 2012 in Brussels – and this year, we had quite a noticeable presence.
The stand
We were given a full stand of our own, in the new exhibition building "K" at the ULB.
When we arrived we were bit worried about the distance between the main conference building and building K; maybe it would keep people from coming to the stands – but we were pleasantly surprised by the big crowd of people there, and there was a pretty constant stream of visitors to our stand.
Lots of Mageia people – users, contributors, team leaders – were there on both days, coming from at least eight different countries. So for the most part, we could talk to visitors in their preferred language.
Across the two days, we gave out almost 300 Mageia 1 Live CDs and Mageia stickers, sold 33 t-shirts, and received some donations; the total amount we collected, including t-shirt sales and donations was over 300€! \o/
The conference
Like last year, Mageia took part in the conference. Michael Scherer (aka misc) gave a talk about our ldap setup, and how we're using it as the central authentication for all Mageia systems; misc also took part in a round table discussion of distro sysadmins, exchanging their experiences.
Oliver Burger (aka obgr_seneca) took part in a round table discussion about local communities. He will make a follow-up blog post about setting up the Mageia local communities team and the ideas Mageia has in that regard.
Videos of all three sessions can be found at http://video.fosdem.org/2012/crossdistro/
The General assembly
As last year, the General Assembly of the Mageia.Org association took place at FOSDEM. Anne Nicolas as president of the Association did a nice report there with informations about all parts of the project.
The moral and financial reports of the Association will be posted here as soon as they are approved by the board.
The social program
The main part of the social program (at least from Mageia's point of view) was the dinner on Saturday evening. Almost 30 people, connected to the Mageia project in some way, met for dinner in the center of Brussels. We did that last year, and we found that it's a nice opportunity to talk about all kinds of things with people you normally know only via irc or the mailing lists. (Of course, one dinner is not enough to meet everyone as much as many of us wanted. But there will be other FOSS Meetings 🙂 )
Small groups of Mageians who were prepared to brave the cold (-10°C) also used the chance to enjoy the famous Belgian beer; after dinner they were to be found in some of Brussels' pubs, which resulted in rather a short night.
FOSDEM really is worth travelling through half of Europe to get to, even when it's really cold (-10°C) and snowy! Coming by train or car was maybe not the best idea to have – among the only people who didn't have interesting travel experiences were those who came the greatest distance, from Finland and Scotland – by plane!

Wetland Plants of Wisconsin
|Wolffia columbiana H.Karst.
common water-meal
Family: Lemnaceae
Individuals of common water-meal are called fronds. Each frond consists of a small, green, floating body (0.4-1.2 mm long!) with no roots. Members of this genus (11 species, 5 in North America) are believed to be the smallest angiosperm plants. Water meal does best in full sun and in nutrient rich water. Under those conditions they can grow rapidly, reproducing not by seeds, but by simple division of a frond to produce a new "daughter" frond. Common water-meal plants rarely flower.
Identification of the species of water-meal can be difficult. A good source of information can be found in the book: Flora of North America Editorial Committee, eds. 2000. Flora of North America North of Mexico. Vol. 22. Magnoliophyta: Alismatidae, Arecidae, Commelinidae (in part), and Zingiberidae. Oxford University Press. pp143-153. It can also be found on the web at this site.

Federal Direct Stafford Loan Repayment
Students have a six month grace period before repayment begins after you graduate, or drop below half-time enrollment. Students are entitled to receive a repayment schedule prior to the payment due date. Upon completion of loan repayment, students will receive a letter of acknowledgment from the U.S. Department of Education.
Repayment Options
When it comes time to start repaying your student loan(s), you can select a repayment plan that is right for your financial situation. Generally, you will have from 10 to 25 years to repay your loan, depending on which repayment plan you choose. For a list of repayment options, go to www.studentloans.gov
Forbearance and Deferment Options
If you are temporarily unable to meet your repayment obligation, you may be granted a forbearance, which lets you postpone or reduce your payments for an agreed upon period of time. You will still be responsible for any interest that accrues during the forbearance period, but you may be able to pay it later. A deferment is a temporary suspension of loan payments for specific situations such as reenrollment in school, unemployment, or economic hardship. In most cases, you need to submit a deferment request to the Direct Loan Servicing Center. A deferment can take 30 days or more to process, so file as soon as possible. You must keep making your payments until you receive notice that your deferment has been approved. For more information on forbearance and deferment, visit www.studentloans.gov.
If you don't repay your loan. . .
Delinquencies, or a monthly payment more than 30 days late, are reported to credit bureaus. This can hurt your chances for obtaining loans in the future, for cars, a home, etc. Also you may lose eligibility for further financial aid, deferments and forbearances until the delinquency is cleared up. Default occurs when there is no payment made for 270 days. In the event you go into default on your loan, be aware of the following penalties:
- A bad credit report
- Assignment of loan to a collection agency
- Full balance of loan is due (no more monthly payment privileges)
- Loss of eligibility for future financial aid (this includes grants)
- Withholding of state and federal income tax refunds and California lottery winnings
- Late fees and collection costs may be applied toward the amount you owe
- Your wages may be garnished (a portion withheld for repayment)
Tips to make your repayment easier
- Get organized. Make a single student loan file for all your loan documents, information and payment records. You may want to keep this Tip Sheet in your file as a reference.
- Read your mail. Important notices about your loan, will come by mail. Open and read these notices immediately, and respond or file them, as appropriate.
- Notify the U.S. Department of Education if you change your name or address. You should also contact the Department of Education if you decide to return to school at least half time.
- Know who services your loan. The Department of Education contracts with servicing agents to collect payments and otherwise administer student loans. It is up to you to keep track of your servicing agent.
- Contact the Department of Education if you are having problems making your payment on time toinquire about payment options.
- Write your loan account number on all loan-related correspondence and checks. Keep copies of all correspondence.
- Expect a letter of acknowledgment from the U.S. Department of Education upon making the final payment on your loan(s).
- Take notes of your phone conversations with the loan holder or servicer, i.e., whom you spoke with, what was discussed.etc. Keep this information in your loan file.

Do you sell food processors?
Sorry, we do not currently offer any food processors. We recommend the LeChef, the cuisanart and kitchenaid food processors. I suggest staying away from the "cheap" $30 units found at discount stores - I have burned out a motor on one before.

It is a natural product with no preservatives. It should be stored in a cool, dry location out of direct sunlight. Dilute only as much powder as needed for each use.
It is 100% water-soluble and is suitable for conventional foliar and irrigation applications.
The powder may be diluted in any volume of water; however, it is recommended that enough water be used to ensure complete leaf coverage. The addition of biodegradable surfactant is recommended for maximum dispersal and leaf adherence.
KIS soluble seaweed extract powder should be used at the rate of 24-48 dry ounces per acre per year for turf, crops, and plants. A minimum of 3 applications per year are recommended, but more frequent applications are preferable. Do not exceed 12 dry ounces of powder per acre in any one application.
To calculate the amount to use in each application, take the total amount of seaweed to be used per acre per season or crop cycle (24 to 48 dry ounces), and divide it by the total number of foliar or irrigation applications intended to be made during the season.
For smaller areas or for spot spraying, add 1.5 teaspoons of powder per gallon of water or 1 dry ounce of powder per 10 gallons of water and spray plants to the point of run-off.

Female equivalent of beating up. Not so violent and involves a lot of pushing and the occasional pinch. From the series "Confessions of Georgia Nicholson".
Jes was duffing up on Ellen. Jes was winning.
by ʎppǝɹɟ ǝןqısıʌuı April 13, 2009
duffing up is the female equivelant of beating up, or kicking ass. It's not so violent in a sense, and to a certain degree. It usually involves excessive screaming, clawing, pushing, and shit-talking.

Model L10101R1 includes:
Model L10101R1 ohmmeter / controller by Laurel Electronics is factory configured for 0-20.000 ohms resistance measurement, Two 8A Form C contact relays, No analog output, RS232 communications, Universal 85-264 Vac power.
The Laureate Ohmmeter is ideal for high-speed, high-accuracy resistance measurements in a production environment, such as contact resistance measurements. It is factory calibrated for five jumper selectable resistance ranges from 20 ohms to 200 kohms. Accuracy is an exceptional +/-0.01% of full scale +/-2 counts. In the 20-ohm range, resolution is 1 milliohm, making the meter suitable for contact resistance and conductance measurements.
Meter connections can be via 2, 3 or 4 wires. With 4-wire hookup, 2 wires are used for excitation and two separate wires are used to sense the voltage across the resistance to be measured, thereby eliminating any lead resistance effects.
All resistance ranges are digitally calibrated at the factory, with calibration factors stored in EEPROM on the signal conditioner board. This allows ranges and signal conditioner boards to be changed in the field without recalibrating the ohmmeter.
Visit Laureate Ohmmeter for Resistance in Ohms for detailed meter information, specifications, dimensions and pricing.

It is possible that the main title of the report Argininosuccinic Aciduria is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
Argininosuccinic aciduria is a rare inherited disorder characterized by deficiency or lack of the enzyme argininosuccinate lyase (ASL). Argininosuccinate lyase is one of six enzymes that play a role in the breakdown and removal of nitrogen from the body, a process known as the urea cycle. The lack of this enzyme results in excessive accumulation of nitrogen, in the form of ammonia (hyperammonemia), in the blood. Affected infants may experience vomiting, refusal to eat, progressive lethargy, and coma. Argininosuccinic aciduria is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait.
The urea cycle disorders are a group of rare disorders affecting the urea cycle, a series of biochemical processes in which nitrogen is converted into urea and removed from the body through the urine. Nitrogen is a waste product of protein metabolism. Failure to break down nitrogen results in the abnormal accumulation of nitrogen, in the form of ammonia, in the blood.

London Underground has named some of the first Tube stations that will receive free Wi-Fi internet access during the 2012 Olympic Games following a successful trial.
Transport for London confirmed that Leicester Square, Liverpool Street, Oxford Circus, King's Cross, and Stratford would be among the first set of stations to receive internet access.
Virgin Media, who won the contract in March, are on track to deliver the service to 80 stations by the start of the Games following a successful trial.
Members of the public will soon be able to browse the web and check e-mails using their smartphones from station ticket offices, escalators and platforms.
The service will be free during the Olympics and then available to customers through a pay-as-you-go offering later in the year.
London Underground's director Gareth Powell said: 'Our customers will soon be able to connect to the internet for live travel information while they are on the move through stations.
'Bringing a next generation Wi-Fi service to one of the world's oldest underground transport networks is progressing as planned and the forthcoming service is testing well.
'The first stations include some of our busiest and most well-known destinations and we're on-track for a successful launch this summer – all delivered at no additional cost to fare payers or taxpayers.'
VIDEO: New London Underground Wi-Fi put to the test
BBC Technology correspondent Rory Cellan-Jones was given a sneak peak at one station in central London on Thursday, where the internet equipment is currently being tested.
He tweeted from an unnamed station platform: 'Historic first tweet from deep under London using @TFLofficial @virginmedia new tube wifi service – testing, testing.'
TfL hope it will help passengers keep up-to-date with all the latest travel information during the busy Olympic period.
Mayor Boris Johnson said earlier this year: 'Millions of passengers will now be able to connect to their work, friends or access the latest news and travel information while on the move.
'This is a fabulous new and free resource which will be in place from this summer when London is being showcased on a global stage and playing host to millions.'
An estimated 800,000 additional passengers are expected to use London's public transport during the Olympics at peak times, raising question marks over TfL's ability to cope with the extra burden.

House Speaker John Boehner's promise on Wednesday to balance the federal budget "over the next 10 years" was aimed at convincing Tea Party conservatives in Congress to hold their fire over a bill to temporarily raise the U.S. debt ceiling.
But carrying it out would require spending cuts or revenue increases far greater than anything seriously considered by Congress in recent years, including the budget passed by the Republican-controlled House last March, which envisioned shrinking deficits to $3.13 trillion over 10 years in part by a total revamp of Medicare and Medicaid, the government health insurance programs for seniors and the poor.
That budget resolution, drawn up by House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, projected a balanced budget not in 10 years, but by 2040.
"It seems politically unrealistic to think you could get to a balanced budget" in a decade, said Robert Bixby, executive director of the Concord Coalition, a non-partisan organization devoted to deficit reduction.
That's particularly true, Bixby said, in view of the Republican vow to avoid further tax increases for deficit reduction.
"I don't see it," said Bixby, adding that "it'll be a very useful exercise to see how" Boehner might do it.
Boehner, speaking after the House passed a bill to allow the federal government to borrow more money until May 19, provided no details on how Republicans would keep the promise, leaving Ryan - the Republican 2012 vice presidential nominee - and his budget committee to work it out in the weeks ahead.
The federal budget was last balanced in 2001, thanks in part to a tax increase, low unemployment and a booming economy. Although taxes on the wealthiest Americans have gone up as the result of a fiscal deal reached in early January, unemployment remains stubbornly high and the U.S. economic recovery is tepid.
The government has been running annual deficits of about $1 trillion for the past four years, according to the Congressional Budget Office, so something dramatic would have to occur to wipe out those imbalances in 10 years.
The government spends about $1.2 trillion on military and domestic programs known as "discretionary" because they can be cut, and about $2.1 trillion on so-called mandatory programs, including Medicare, Medicaid, entitlements which grow automatically according to demand and provider cost.
The 2010 Simpson-Bowles Commission on Fiscal Responsibility projected annual deficits of $279 billion through the year 2020 and that after reforming the tax code and cutting the costs of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, among other things.
The last major politician to promise to deliver a balanced budget in 10 years was Republican 2012 presidential nominee Mitt Romney.

Now Klaus must take down his protégé, Marcel, who is now in charge of New Orleans, in order to re-take his city, as he originally built New Orleans. Klaus departed from the city after being chased down by his father Mikael, while it was being constructed and Marcel took charge. As Klaus has returned after many years, his ego has provoked him to become the king of the city. "Every King needs an heir" says Klaus, accepting the unborn child. The child is a first to be born to a hybrid and a werewolf.

As you'll see on the application form, please indicate in your application who you're partnering with, as this game DOES NOT WORK solo. Make sure you include a photo of yourself in the costume, and that the characters ORIGINATE in Japan. To rip off some Doctor guy with a screw in his head:
That goes for me too. Hard "No" on non-Japanese-originating characters.http://www.animeboston.com/cosplay/cosplay_faq/
A reminder: Anime Boston is an anime convention that is part of the New England Anime Society (NEAS). As such, we can only accept applications from characters that originally hail from a japanese created media. That means we cannot accept anything from Batman, Stephen Universe, Avatar, Overwatch, etc. This is not my rule, but it is a very important rule that has consequences for the convention itself if I break it. I will not bend on this one thing.
Sign-ups'll be up until the end of February! See you there!

Post subject: Century Graphic and modern electronic flash.
Well, relatively modern, a Vivitar 283.
This is my first post.
I recently acquired my first Graflex camera, a Century Graphics with a Kodak Ektar 101mm lens, and Kodak Synchro-Rapid 800 shutter. The shutter has a place for a flash sync cable, with (I take to be) an ASA bayonet fitting. I thought about using my Vivitar 283 with it (with Vivitar grip).
I suppose that I could look around and find an ASA bayonet to PC adapter. My question is about something I read with relation to that shutter on a Kodak camera (Tourist). In the manual for this camera, it said the following about this shutter.
This shutter is not made for use with electronic flash units which are flashed by means of heavy-duty relays or solenoids. Such units may completely destroy the shutter contacts.
I'm not familiar with how all older electronic flashes worked, but I know that the Vivitar has a rather high triggering voltage. Is this the sort of thing that is meant by "heavy-duty relay"? So, would it would be necessary to get one of those voltage reduction jobbies sometimes used on digital cameras when using old flash units?
Best wishes,

Essentially, you have to be careful with old flashes and new equipment, as the 60-300V trigger circuits on directly fired electronic flashes will fry electronic cameras. The situation the Tourist leaflet warns against (hooking up a relay triggered flash without relay), would require one of the first generation (pre sixties) electronic (at that time usually grid powered) flash units - if you had such a rare item, you'd probably be more worried about the flash than the shutter, and would be familiar with all issues.
I.e. you can use any old or modern flash with a Graphic. But old electronic flashes should only be hooked up to electronically controlled cameras after crosschecking compatibility tables.
One thing to watch out though is the way old Graflex flashes are hooked up - solenoid connectors on flashes aren't used to trigger the flash, but rather emit power to trigger the camera via the solenoid. If you fix up a old flash with modern assumptions as to how flashes work, you could wire it up the wrong way and toast the shutter.

Not ALL of the Vivitar 283 flash units have high voltages. Do some research. The later ones are perfectly safe for this use.
I ran into that vis-a-vis my Leica M6TTL. Fortunately, I had a low voltage model 283. Don't give up yet.

As far as use on a Graphic is concerned, any Vivitar flash is safe. Even the "dangerous" flashes from the sixties up into the mid eighties were designed to be safe for mechanical switch triggers. The thing they may be incompatible with are cameras with a electronic flash trigger circuit (i.e. just about anything from the AF and digital age).

I guessed that the Vivitar would be okay with the shutter and they were on about something else in that manual. But, guesses go wrong, so I thought it prudent to check. And am grateful to have got so quick a reply. Thanks again.
Here's the camera.
It has a Singer RFH on the back at the moment. I've ordered a Grafmatic for it. So far, I've only shot one test roll to make sure of it (e.g., that exposures turned out as expected). I'm planning a trip at the beginning of next month, and this will be the camera I take, instead of my Pentax K10D digital (or Bronica ETRSi). The RFH for colour 120 film, and the Grafmatic for BW. So, before I take it on a trip, I'll have to shoot a few films to get more of a feel for it.

I've used the Vivitar 2800 (not the same critter as the 283, I know) on my Century, with Graphex full-synch shutters, no problem.

Fine looking camera, rfrazier. Brings back lots of memories of the one I used for many years.
Be on the lookout for the special left-hand grip they made for this camera. You won't believe how much easier it is to use for your off-tripod work.

hi, rfrazier
I have a same lens and shutter as yours. I don't know how to open the shutter for ground glass focusing. There is no Press Focus button or others on this shutter. Do you have any suggest for that?

Either set the shutter to T or use a locking cable release and set the shutter to B.

There is no "T" setting on the shutter, so I have to set it to "B" and use a cable release. I just got back from a holiday, and took only the Century Graphics (leaving my DSLR behind). Fewer exposures, but better, I hope.

Local Meteorologist Fired for Facebook Comments [POLL]
Rhonda Lee, an African-American meteorologist at KTBS-TV in Shreveport has been fired for her response to a comment from a viewer.
Was her comment racist? Was it sexual? ...Nope.
According to a write up at MSN.COM, a viewer offered criticism regarding her hairstyle asking if "she was a cancer patient". Rhonda posted this response on Facebook,
I'm sorry you don't like my ethnic hair. And no I don't have cancer. I'm very proud of who I am and the standard of beauty I display."
She went on to thank the man for his comment, but her former bosses at KTBS-TV said that she violated their social media policy, and is part of the reason for her termination.
What do you think?
An article posted at Huffington Post contains this comment from KTBS...
On November 28, 2012, KTBS dismissed two employees for repeated violation of the station's written procedure. We can confirm that Rhonda Lee was one of the employees. Another employee was a white male reporter who was an eight year veteran of the station. The policy they violated provided a specific procedure for responding to viewer comments on the official KTBS Facebook page. Included is an email that was sent to all news department employees informing them of this procedure. This procedure is based on advice from national experts and commonly used by national broadcast and cable networks and local television stations across the country. Unfortunately, television personalities have long been subject to harsh criticism and negative viewer comments about their appearance and performance. If harsh viewer comments are posted on the station's official website, there is a specific procedure to follow. Ms. Rhonda Lee was let go for repeatedly violating that procedure and after being warned multiple times of the consequences if her behavior continued. Rhonda Lee was not dismissed for her appearance or defending her appearance. She was fired for continuing to violate company procedure."
My calls to KTBS for comment have gone unanswered.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (Feb. 10, 2009) – The Kentucky Horse Racing Commission ("KHRC") has granted approval to allow Churchill Downs to offer exacta wagering in its Kentucky Derby Future Wager ("KDFW") pools. The home of the America's greatest race will not offer exacta betting in Pool 1 of the 2009 Derby Future bet, which opens its four-day run on Thursday, but Derby Futures Exacta betting will be available in the two remaining pools scheduled to run March 12-15 and April 2-5.
The addition of exacta wagering in the field of 24 wagering interests is the first change in the betting menu in the Kentucky Derby Future Wager since the bet was introduced in 1999. To this point the pools in each Kentucky Derby Future Wager have offered only a $2 minimum win wager. Starting with Pool 2 of 2009, the exacta wager – also a $2 minimum bet – will be part of the wagering menu on the pool's field of 24 betting interests.
The Kentucky Derby Futures Exacta requires the bettor to select the first two finishers in the exact order in the Kentucky Derby. Those horses must be selected from the 24 wagering interests in each respective pool. Those interests include 23 individual horses and a mutuel field (#24) that consists of all other 3-year-old Thoroughbreds.
Fans may combine betting interests in boxes and other exacta combinations. In the event of a finish in which multiple members of the "all others" betting interest occupy spots at the top of the official order of finish, the calculation of the $2 payout will be conducted in accordance with KHRC rules on coupled entries. For example, if horses in the mutuel field occupy the first five spots in the Derby's order of finish and #9 finishes sixth, the winning exacta numbers will be 24/9. A finish of 3/24/24/24/7 would result in an exacta payout on a 3/24 ticket.
The mutuel field (#24) can be used in only one position in the exacta. A bettor cannot place a wager on 24/24, or "all"/"all."
Like the $2 win bet in the Kentucky Derby Future Wager, there will be no refunds on wagers placed in the Futures Exacta. If it is determined during a KDFW pool that an individual wagering interest will not be able to compete in the Kentucky Derby because of injury or another concern, wagering on that horse will be suspended immediately.
More information on the Kentucky Derby Future Wager is available at the official Kentucky Derby event Web site at http://www.kentuckyderby.com.
Churchill Downs, the world's most legendary racetrack, has conducted Thoroughbred racing and presented America's greatest race, the Kentucky Derby, continuously since 1875. Located in Louisville, the flagship racetrack of Churchill Downs Incorporated (NASDAQ Global Select Market: CHDN) also operates Trackside at Churchill Downs, which offers year-round simulcast wagering at the historic track. Churchill Downs will conduct the 135th running of the Kentucky Derby on May 2, 2009. The track's 2009 Spring Meet is scheduled for April 25-July 5. Churchill Downs has hosted the Breeders' Cup World Championships a record six times, and will host the international racing championship again on Nov. 5-6, 2010. Information about Churchill Downs can be found on the Internet at http://www.churchilldowns.com.

Those having taken the paper-based or computer-based test have the additional option of testing out of the English course by taking and passing the SPEAK test at Temple.
Students who enter the Ph.D. program in Physics may be considered for advanced standing, based on relevant courses in Mathematics or Physics taken elsewhere. The Graduate Program Committee recommends the awarding of advanced standing on a case-by-case basis. The maximum number of advanced standing credits awarded is 18.
Number of Didactic Credits Required Beyond the Master's: Unspecified*
* The number of courses to be completed by students is not fixed. Programs are arranged by students in consultation with their advisors and are subject to the approval of the Graduate Program Committee.
Required Courses:
Physics 401, 402, 411, 421, 422, 431, 432, 501, 511, 531, 537, and 950 or 951
Internship: No internship is required.
Language Examination: No language examination is required.
Preliminary Examination:
The Ph.D. preliminary examination tests the student's mastery of undergraduate physics and the subject matter corresponding to three semesters of full-time graduate study. The exam provides an assessment of the student's ability to apply the physical principles to the analysis of concrete problems. It consists of a three-part written examination and a one-hour oral examination.
General subject areas covered by the examination include classical mechanics, classical electromagnetic theory, quantum mechanics, optics, thermodynamics, statistical physics, and mathematical physics.
Students are required to take the Ph.D. preliminary examination no later than after completion of two years of full-time graduate study. It is offered twice a year: in January and August. In the event of failure, the exam may be retaken once. In the event of a second failure, the student will be dropped from the graduate program.
An Examination Committee, appointed by the Department Chair and made up of about eight members of the Graduate Faculty, writes the examination.
The committee members who write the questions also evaluate the answers, scoring each on a 10-point basis and awarding partial credit where appropriate.
After the student takes the Ph.D. preliminary exam, the department makes a decision based on the student's performance on the examination as well as her/his overall graduate record as to whether s/he is to be permitted to proceed to the research aspect of graduate training.
To schedule the exam, students must notify the Graduate Secretary who will advise with the registration deadline. The examination has three written parts, given on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday of the specified week. Each part runs from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and is proctored by a faculty member. After the results of the written examination have been evaluated, each student is given a one-hour oral examination by a committee made up of several members of the Graduate Faculty.
Dissertation Proposal:
The dissertation proposal demonstrates the student's knowledge of and ability to conduct the proposed research. The proposal should consist of the following: (a) the context and background surrounding a particular research problem; (b) an exhaustive survey and review of literature related to the problem; and (c) a detailed methodological plan for investigating the problem. The proposal must be completed and approved by the end of the student's third year of graduate study or one year after passing the Ph.D. preliminary exam, whichever date is later.
The doctoral dissertation is an original piece of research that makes a significant contribution to a specific branch of Physics. The problem must be fundamental in nature, and may not be developmental, classified, or strictly applied. It should expand the existing knowledge base and demonstrate the student's knowledge of both research methods and a mastery of her/his primary area of interest. The results of the research should be of such a nature as to be publishable in a standard physics journal.
The Dissertation Advising Committee is formed to oversee the student's doctoral research and is comprised of at least three Graduate Faculty members. Two members, including the Chair, must be from the Physics Department. Committee compositions must be approved by the department's Graduate Program Committee. The Chair is responsible for overseeing and guiding the student's progress, coordinating the responses of the committee members, and informing the student of her/his academic progress.
The Dissertation Examining Committee evaluates the student's dissertation and oral defense. This committee is comprised of the Dissertation Advising Committee and at least one additional Graduate Faculty member from outside the Physics Department. The Outside Examiner should be identified no later than the beginning of the semester in which the student will defend the dissertation.
The committee evaluates the student's ability to verbally express her/his research problem, methodological approach, primary findings, and implications. The committee members vote to pass or fail the defense of the dissertation at the conclusion of the public presentation.
If a student needs to change a member of a Committee, the new member must be approved by the department's Graduate Program Committee and registered with the Graduate Secretary and the Graduate School.
After receiving the approval of their Dissertation Advising Committee, students who are preparing to defend their dissertation should confirm a date with the Graduate Chair and register with the Graduate Secretary at least 15 days before the defense. The Graduate Secretary will arrange the time, date, and room within two working days and forward the appropriate forms to the student.
After the Graduate Secretary has scheduled the defense, the student must send a complete "Announcement of Dissertation Defense" form to the Graduate School at least 10 days before the defense. The Department will post flyers announcing the defense.
