Reviews for Kids Connection Haiti Inc

I have been working as a Youth Development consultant for an NGO in Haiti for the last two and a half years and met with Astrid Fitzgerald on many occasions.
Her Kids Connection Haiti Program works with and for many young adults that I know.
KCH makes the difference in their lives !
Astrid has lived in Haiti for many years and knows what these young adults are going through, what their needs are and what difficulties they have to overcome. She knows the troubles of the country.
With a simple, very effective philosophy she built a small but slowly growing organization were each one who gets help, gets a better change in live !
Astrid's heart is in Haiti. She is not only passionate about her work but she also has clear goals and knows how she wants to get there. KCH financial donations all benefits the young adults education or microcredit for business.
But equally important is the emotional support these young adults get through regular meetings, workshops and seminars.
KCH to me stands for; a small initiative can makes a big difference !

In cases where I have a key for each element and I don't know the index of the element into an array, hashtables perform better than arrays (O(1) vs O(n)).
Why is that? I mean: I have a key, I hash it.. I have the hash.. shouldn't the algorithm compare this hash against every element's hash? I think there's some trick behind the memory disposition, isn't it?

I have some trouble getting the proper access right to work for a folder shared through samba and nfs. Connected like this:
┌────────────┐ ┌──────────────┐ ┌──────────────┐
│ NFS-Server ├────┤ NFS Client ├────┤ Samba Client │
│ │ │ Samba Server │ │ │
└────────────┘ └──────────────┘ └──────────────┘
The machine in the middle is a shared development machine (running Linux). The Samba clients are usually Windows. The reason this is connected like this is because of the network policy / firewall. It would be strongly discouraged to access the NFS server by Samba directly.
Additionally, as a side-effect this setup gives everyone samba access to the development machine.
The exported NFS resources should be read/writable by a specific group. I implemented this using Unix ACLs. When accessing the share via the development machine (the NFS client) directly, this already gives me trouble. It seems that the
mask is not properly kept.
I have found a couple of resource on the web covering this topic, but I still have trouble understanding exactly why/how this is happening.
I also came across NFSv4 ACLs which are different from the ACLs you set using
setfacl. I tried to play around with those as well, but running the command, gave me an error:
[11:24:32] michel@BBS-extractor coftp $ nfs4_getfacl .
Operation to request attribute not supported.
I thought this might be a problem related to mount options. However, the underlying FS is an
ext4 volume. Which has nothing to do with NFS... right?
Can someone explain to me what's happening here? Why is the default
mask ignored when using NFS?
As a practical example, let me give you the ACLs of the root folder:
[11:30:26] michel@BBS-extractor coftp $ getfacl .
# file: .
# owner: coftp
# group: coftp
# flags: -s-
After creating a folder named
test on the remote machine, I get this:
[11:30:26] michel@BBS-extractor coftp $ getfacl test
# file: test
# owner: michel
# group: coftp
# flags: -s-
group::rwx #effective:r-x
group:coftp:rwx #effective:r-x
This shows, that the group "coftp" won't have write access to this folder, although in the ACL on the root folder, it should have. The reason being the
mask. The root folder specifies a default mask, but it seems to be ignored/changed when accessing the folder via NFS.

SOURCE: Lesjak, Carolyn. "A Modern Odyssey: Realism, the Masses, and Nationalism in George Eliot's Felix Holt." Novel: A Forum on Fiction 30, no. 1 (fall 1996): 78-97.
In the following essay, Lesjak discusses Eliot's representation of the working class, which she removes from the productive sphere and situates within the domestic sphere in order to minimize class conflicts and disparities in income.
The industrial novel occupies a unique place in the context of debates about realism. As Erich Auerbach suggests, the subject matter of the realist novel—the masses or "the common people"—comes into being as a serious subject for literature as part of realism's inexorable logic:
Realism had to embrace the whole reality of contemporary civilization, in which to be sure the bourgeoisie played a dominant role, but in which the masses were beginning to press threateningly ahead as...

Korea Resources Looking to Africa, Asia for Rare-Earths Mines
Korea Resources Corp., the state-run mineral explorer, is seeking to invest in mines in Africa and Asia to secure supplies of rare-earths, used in electric cars and wind turbines, Chief Executive Kim Shin Jong said.
"We have currently Africa, Central Asia, Mongolia and Vietnam in mind," Kim said today in an interview after a seminar in Seoul. Separately, the miner is to meet this week with an Australian operator for cooperation in mining rare-earths, he said, declining to identify the company.
South Korea, which imports almost all its energy and minerals requirements, plans to reduce its dependency on Chinese supplies for rare earths after cutting overall imports of the materials by almost two-thirds since 2005. Prices for rare earths will probably keep rising as new supplies won't appear any time soon, Commerzbank AG said in a Nov. 11 report.
"The world is in a fierce war for resources," Kim said. Global prices of mineral resources are likely to remain "strong" as demand increases in the economic recovery. "What we can do to help our industries to grow continuously amid the resource war is to keep on running without a break."
The price of lanthanum oxide, a rare earth used in hybrid cars such as Toyota Motor Corp.'s Prius, has surged more than sevenfold since the second quarter to $58 a kilogram after China cut export quotas. Rare earths are a group of 17 chemically similar metal elements including cerium, lanthanum and neodymium.
Alternative Sources
About 65 percent of South Korea's rare-earth imports come from China, and 28 percent from Japan, according to the Ministry of Knowledge Economy. Finding alternative sources of the minerals will "take time," Kim said. "It's not something we can make in a year or two."
Japan is also seeking to secure long-term supplies of rare earths after China slashed exports in September. Foreign Minister Seiji Maehara said Japan wanted to collaborate with Australia on rare-earth supply at a joint press conference last month with Australian Foreign Minister Kevin Rudd in Canberra.
Rare-earth exports from China, the world's biggest supplier, declined 77 percent in October from a month earlier after the government reduced shipment quotas for the second half.

Hi there,
After extending the execution time I got the message plugin activated. But when looking at the plugin status below it's not activated. Also not when refreshing the page.
What can I do so it actually activates the plugin? Did the chmod 777 for the 2 folders before installing and it's 777 when activating.
Kind regards,

Hi !
I don't understand, two days ago, JQuery works and now, Jquery doesn't work anymore. Someone know something about one bug ?
great and easy plugin thnx!
I see this plugin has discontinued it's development. Still - I'm not sure why the author has de-registered the core jQuery that WordPress provides?
IMO as WP plugin developer myself, one should not de-registered default scripts that WP provides by default as other developers might be relying on them to make their code work.
Love it! So simple and clean. A little CSS tweak to match site colors and we're good to go. Thanks for keeping this available.
Sorry that development is being discontinued. I prefer this over the monster that is Jetpack. There is no support for user-friendly customization. So I peg it at 5 stars if you have some programming familiarity; 4 stars if you find editing CSS and jQuery script invocations to be a challenge.
As far as I can see this plugin works great and the js doesn't seem to conflict with any other plugin I have installed.
Also very quick to load.
Great work
Works with WP 3.5. Doesn't conflict with UberMenu or any of the custom jQuery stuff I've added to the site. Simple install and opens the images from the default WordPress gallery in a nice lightbox. Too bad it's been discontinued... it's a nice, simple, lightweight solution!

Three T-Mobile stores were broken into and a fourth was vandalized sometime overnight or Monday morning, police say.
One of the stores is located at 5166 North Nevada. It appears the crooks broke through the glass of the front door of that location to get inside.
The other locations broken into were at 3604 Austin Bluffs and 3060 North Powers. The store affected by what officers called criminal mischief is at 7435 North Academy.
The crooks took phones and tablets from at least some of the locations. Additionally, police say a safe at one of the locations was tampered with.
The police and the stores have the serial numbers for the stolen merchandise.
The crimes were reported Monday morning when employees arrived for work. The stores were all able to clean-up and open on Monday.
One of their shoppers says the crimes around the holidays may be related to the economy.
"They're desperate so they gotta do what they gotta do to help their families," Amanda Williams said.
But she says burglary is definitely not the way to do that:
"You have to be responsible for what you do," Williams said. "That's not the answer to economy issues."

For my site, I've been waiting for annotations as marginalia (sidenotes) for a long time and I am so grateful to the developers for coding this up and sharing this WordPress plug-in within WordPress's open-source add-on ecosystem.
The only addition I'd request or hope for is support for multiple annotations (for example, two or more separate sets of annotation in the same documents). I have posts in multiple languages with two separate sets of annotation and right now I'm using this plugin and the Annie plugin to support both (one as marginalia, the other as footnotes).
So far as I am aware, there's no other plugin around that can do what this one does -- and it does it perfectly!
The developer provides really fast and helpful support too!
I'm converting a collection of academic texts into a WordPress site, and this plugin is precisely what I needed. Excellent work.
Does this work with the popular 2012 theme? I am using that theme and it doesn't seem to work. Does the post format have to be full width?
I tried a few plugins for citations and this one nailed 100%.
Thanks a lot!
I love this plugin! It works perfect and it's great for people who love footnotes but want another solution for WordPress.
Thank you!
Side Matter is exactly the touch I wanted for my site. The author has also been very responsive to my newbie emails.
Very useful, certainly for wide screens. Does not distract reader to much with sidebar and informative on the other hand.
Side-notes make much more sense for continuous web-pages (as compared to paper pages). This plugin makes it possible. Great Plugin!
I had been waiting for this exact thing for 1 year exactly ! Simple and works perfectly (with Sight theme by WPShower as I'm concerned) !!!
One thing maybe is that when I installed the plugin I expected to get directly the same formatting as the one we can see on the screenshots : since I'm still a beginner at CSS, it would have been faster for me just to change some color codes than creating a complete formatting.
For people like me (who can understand a code, but not create it) the fact to have something already existing provides very useful landmarks. Maybe you should think about it for the next version !
Anyway, THANKS A LOT, and long live this plugin !

Quick GuideUnderstanding Stroke Symptoms, Signs, Treatment
What is the prognosis for transient ischemic attack (TIA)?
A transient ischemic attack should be considered a major warning sign of an impending future stroke. Up to 10% of people will experience a stroke within three months of TIA. Since there is no way of predicting that stroke-like symptoms will resolve, the patient and family need to be educated should symptoms occur, they need to access medical care emergently activating the emergency medical services system and calling 911.
If a stroke occurs, there is a very short period of time where the thrombolytic (clot busting drugs like alteplase [TPA]), can be used to reverse a stroke. In most hospitals, the drug can only be given within 4 1/2 hours of onset of stroke symptoms. In that time frame, the patient needs to get to the hospital, the diagnosis needs to be made, laboratory tests and head CT scans need to be performed, neurologic consultation needs to occur, and the drug administered. The longer the delay, greater the risk that the drug won't work and that complications such as bleeding into the brain will occur.
Specialized interventional radiologists can inject TPA directly into the clot that has blocked the blood vessel in the brain. This can extend the time frame to six hours or longer, but currently this treatment is not widely available.
TIAs should be considered the equivalent of angina of the brain. In heart disease, angina is the heart pain that warns of potential heart attack. When heart muscle is damaged, it cannot be replaced or repaired. Similarly, brain tissue is at risk when there is decreased blood supply and it, too, cannot be replaced.

February 23, 2005 - College Bound Savings account and Pay for Grades bonus reflect The Bank of Oswego's focus on education.
LAKE OSWEGO OREGON...Lake Oswego's new community bank, The Bank of Oswego, announced the launching of two new programs designed to recognize the academic excellence of local students and to help students and their families save for college. "Encouraging local students and supporting the educational initiatives of our local schools are a special focus for our bank," said Chairman and CEO Dan Heine. "Our new College Bound Savings Account and Pay for Grades reward program are two examples of the ways we intend to participate in the community's strong focus on education."
College Bound Savings Account
The centerpiece of the bank's new student programs is its College Bound Savings Account. "The indexed rate feature of this account allows students to earn a fair and true market rate, no matter how rates move overall," said Heine. "Some banks are slow to adjust savings rates, especially in a rising-interest rate environment. Our students won't ever have to be concerned about that when trying to meet the all-important goal of saving for college."
The College Bound Savings account may be opened with as little as $25 for the benefit of any person aged 18 and under. Additional deposits may be made at any time during lobby banking hours, which are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, or after hours at the bank's night depository located adjacent to the Lake View Village parking garage.
Pay for Grades
In addition to the College Bound Savings account, The Bank of Oswego will also launch a recognition program that pays students a bonus for earning outstanding grades. Each quarter, trimester or semester, The Bank of Oswego will award the highest one of the following bonuses, which will then be deposited into the student's College Bound Savings Account:
Straight "A" Report Card $15 Bonus
All "S" (Satisfactory) Report Card $ 5 Bonus
Honor Roll Listing $ 5 Bonus
Each "A" on Report Card $ 1 per "A"
The maximum bonus per year is $30 and students must present their report card within 30 days to qualify for the bonus.
"If our special programs geared toward education actually help people amass a sufficient college savings fund and also encourage students to do well in school, then our bank will have succeeded in its mission. We invite all eligible students, parents and grandparents to take advantage of our high-yielding College Bound Savings account and Pay for Grades program," added Heine.
The Bank of Oswego is a full-service community bank. With a specific focus on serving businesses, individuals, entrepreneurs, women in business and the mature market, The Bank of Oswego boasts a wide variety of banking products and services including: complete lending and deposit services; a mobile branch courier service; online banking; complimentary ATM usage; access to a first-class Community Room; and an "At Your Service" concierge, who will provide expertise on local attractions, information about local events and assistance with special arrangements.

Jay Pharoah to Barack Obama: Move to Staten Island, Please
For traffic's sake.
Word on the street is that President Obama wants to move to New York City when he's finally allowed to leave D.C. We approve, and Jay Pharaoh, Saturday Night Live's Obama, agrees, "I think he'd do great here." Pharaoh, however, fears for his commute. "I mean, every time he comes in there's like mad traffic, so I'm like, I think I might move," he told Intelligencer at last night's FIJI Water and Entertainment Weekly–sponsored screening of 22 Jump Street. "On any given day, three, four o'clock it's horrible anywhere in the city. And I'm in the city so I'm like, 'Dude, don't' — he needs to go to like Staten Island or something. Tell him to go to Brooklyn. But, like, don't be in the city." The Gap, luckily, delivers.

Hi all,
I'm using the Adventure journal theme (which is cool) but I've just now realised that my website is showing the 'you're using an outdated version of safari' message at the top of each page - which doesn't really look that great.
Can anyone help me please? From reading other posts I understand I'll have to search for the appropriate html text and delete it, but I have no idea where it could be, and am rather anxious about cutting stuff like that.
Sorry, but I can't actually upgrade my own version of safari. I'm using an old iBook G4 without the correct architecture to support a new version of safari :-(

Before items, Gundle lost $1.6 million, or 14 cents a share, including a charge of 5 cents a share. Closeout retailer Mazel Stores ( MAZL) was up big for the second straight day on the heels of the company's strong quarterly earnings report. The stock was gaining 24% to $6.05 Wednesday, a day after adding 50% to its value. PEC Solutions ( PECS), a professional technology services firm, was rising 17% to $22.04 as analysts upgraded the stock following its latest earnings announcement. The company earned 14 cents a share in the latest quarter, up from 10 cents a year ago. Pixelworks ( PXLW), a maker of integrated circuits for computer displays, was better by 18% to $10.65 after its quarterly report. According to generally accepted accounting principles, the company lost 9 cents a share in the first quarter, compared with a loss of 87 cents in the same period a year ago. Excluding items, the company earned 3 cents. Websense ( WBSN) was climbing 22% to $26.27 a day after the company, a designer of software that helps firms track worker productivity, reported first-quarter earnings of 11 cents a share, reversing a loss of 2 cents a share a year earlier. Losers Hormel ( HRL) was dropping 7% to $25.22 after the food company lowered its second-quarter earnings guidance to a range of 20 cents to 24 cents a share. Previously, the company expected to earn 30 cents to 34 cents, and analysts are looking for a bottom line of 31 cents. The company blamed the expected shortfall on a Russian ban on poultry imports, which "has caused a temporary oversupply of protein in the market. Retailers have been aggressively promoting low prices for chicken, which has resulted in an oversupply of other proteins," Hormel said in a press release. "These factors, along with production expansion in the turkey industry, have intensified the short-term pricing pressure on turkey and pork." Hard disk drive maker Maxtor ( MXO) fell 9% to $6.57 after the company swung to a loss in the latest quarter from a profit in the comparable prior-year period. Railroad operator Norfolk Southern ( NSC) was losing 6% to $21.60 after the company said first-quarter income from continuing operations climbed to $86 million, or 22 cents a share, from $61 million, or 16 cents a share, a year earlier, excluding a gain. Analysts were expecting earnings of 23 cents in the latest quarter. Revenue slipped to just under $1.5 billion from $1.54 billion in the year-ago quarter. Biopharmaceutical company Novavax ( NVAX) was diving 24% to $7.99 after a small research house cut its rating on the stock. The research outfit, ThinkEquity, downgraded the stock to buy from strong buy, citing worries about the company's cancellation of a planned marketing trip. PDF Solutions ( PDFS), a provider of semiconductor process-design integration technologies and services, was losing 22% to $13.15 after posting first-quarter revenue of $11.5 million, and earnings, excluding items, of 6 cents a share. Precise Software ( PRSE) was plunging 31% to $13.10 a day after the company reported quarterly revenue that came in short of expectations. The company said first-quarter revenue rose 49% to $17.1 million, while earnings, before items, totaled 2 cents a share. Analysts expected a top line of $17.9 million and earnings of 2 cents. At least two analysts cut their price targets and revenue estimates for the company after the report.

Call for Contributions: A Virtual Underground Railroad
One of the most effective ways of learning is to immerse ourselves in the cultures we study; yet, we often encounter problems when these cultures are separated from us by constraints such as geography or time. When studying various people, places, events, and works, students and teachers rarely have the resources to visit each (if any) historical landmarks pertaining to their subject matter, restricting both research and teaching to textbooks and/or an amalgam of materials from various resources. The Virtual Education Project (VEP) is a large-scale pedagogical undertaking directed at providing both students and teachers with visual introductions to historical and contemporary landmarks (worldwide) relevant to the study of the humanities.

Guest Pitchers Aboard for Hoffpauired Win Streak
Micah Hoffpauir was activated a week ago and the Iowa Cubs haven't lost since. In the last two games alone he's driven in more runs than the pesky redhead has in 23. Yesterday he manned a post in right-field, possibly as a Plan B in the event of a failed Jim Edmonds experiment.
Meanwhile Kevin Hart was 'stretched out' from 67 pitches in his previous start all the way to 68 yesterday; from 3.2 innings all the way to four.
Hart's stuff is overpowering at this level. Yesterday he allowed only two hits [one a windblown, first inning homer] and a walk while whiffing six. Command and efficiency remain the objectives. It took him 51 pitches to get the first six outs, five of which were strikeouts; only 16 to get the next six, only one of which was a 'K'.
I cannot account for the fact that he wasn't allowed to at least start the fifth and build on his previous workload, especially given that he seemed to be finding a groove in the third and fourth.
All told he threw a first pitch stike to nine of the 15 hitters he faced and retired all nine of them.
Pitching coach Mike Mason paid Hart a very brief visit on the mound in the second inning after his 41st pitch. He must have said something like, 'fucq k's' because Hart's work was more to the point afterwards.
Sean Marshall's start on this stand was ordinary and little more than a workout. He threw 63 pitches while going four innings on May 12 and allowed a couple ER's while walking two and striking out three as he converts back from reliever to starter mode.
As for Rich Hill, he's walked five and fanned 13 over the course of 11 innings spanning his two starts for the I-Cubs. Nothing new here; great stuff, poor command, questionable intensity level...
After getting off to a chilly start compared to last year's club which both entertained fans here in Des Moines AND contributed mightily to the success in Chicago, the I-Cubs now seem poised to again play a key organizational role come summer.
Whether that role is as a supplier of trade bait or reinforcements in Chicago remains to be seen.
The word here is that Chicago ordered Hoffpauir's move from 1B to right. Yesterday he made a nice leaping grab to end the second inning when the opposing pitcher was the first to put a ball in play versus Hart.
CRUMBS: The pesky redhead's chronic bout of extra-baselessness finally came to an end on Sunday when he doubled to right after nearly a hundred plate appearances. He followed that with a two-double game on Monday before reverting to singularity in yesterday's 5-2 win [Hoffpauir drove in all five with a three-run homer and a double]...Mike Burns is a 30-year-old journeyman who was 4-9 a year ago for the Pawsox in the Boston system, but he has fanned 34 and walked only six while swinging between the rotation and the bullpen here this year...will be interesting to see if Felix pouts when he comes back in the wake of Edmonds' acquisition; last year when he was sent down he arrived in time to play a night game on the same day he got the bad news...since Hoffpauir joined the team they have outscored opponents 42-15 during their seven-game win streak...MW
Re: Guest Pitchers Aboard for Hoffpauired Win Streak
Interesting that Mike questions Rich Hill's intensity, since I've always thought that of him too. Given his decent stuff, I wonder if he has any trade value left. Between Hart, Marshall and Gallagher, it seems like we have enough SP depth.
Re: Guest Pitchers Aboard for Hoffpauired Win Streak
Given his decent stuff, I wonder if he has any trade value left.
I am pretty sure that there would be 29 teams interested in trading for Rich Hill.
Re: Guest Pitchers Aboard for Hoffpauired Win Streak
I'm kinda speechless myself.
Although, you'd better just hope that Muskat doesn't read TCR.
Re: Guest Pitchers Aboard for Hoffpauired Win Streak
I thought that WAS Carrie Muskat.
Re: Muskat
That would explain why she still has a job writing for the Cubs.
Keppinger broke his knee last night
and then played two innings of defense on it (insert negative comment about Dusty Baker here)...
Arguably the Reds' best hitter this year.
Re: The word here is that Chicago ordered Hoffpauir's move from
which correlates with the news yesterday that if Edmonds comes in, Pie goes down, and Hoffpauir moves to the on-deck circle for promotion to the bigs.
Any word on Edmonds?
Past the noon hour on Wed. and still no confirmation on Edmonds.
Maybe this deal is as "imminent" as the Roberts deal....
Re: Any word on Edmonds?
He hasn't officially cleared waivers yet.
Re: Any word on Edmonds?
Oh, OK. I only knew his clear date was today. What time will he clear?
Re: Guest Pitchers Aboard for Hoffpauired Win Streak
I've been to both of Hill's starts now in Des Moines, and the "stuff" that is getting AAA hitters out looks exactly like the "stuff" that got him demoted. Flat and slow.
Re: Guest Pitchers Aboard for Hoffpauired Win Streak
Except that wasn't really Hill's problem.
His velocity was fine, it was his command and control that was the issue.
Re: Guest Pitchers Aboard for Hoffpauired Win Streak
I don't recall seeing him throw 92 one time yet this year. Maybe I'm wrong, though.
I don't think his velocity was the same as it was in 2007. It's probably due to him keeping his shoulders flatter through his delivery. That's the way he generated power. He had that long, slow wind with his torso leaning way back towards second base. Now that he's eliminated that, he has to try to generate the same power with a shorter motion, which is difficult.
Re: Guest Pitchers Aboard for Hoffpauired Win Streak
After research, here's what I found:
Rich Hill did in fact throw 92 this season. He hit 92 3 times, all of those coming in the first inning of his April 18th start against Pittsburgh. He also routinely hit 89 and 90 in the first three innings of that start, which was a rarity for all of his other starts. He sat between 86-88 in all of his other starts, and would occasionally get to 89 a couple of times.
In what I think is definitely a related story, that 4/18 outing was clearly his best - 5IP 1ER 3H 3BB 4K.
I do think those 3-4 mph are a big deal for him. He throws a straight-as-a-string 4 seam fastball. I didn't even look at his piece of shit cutter, because he really hasn't thrown it all that much. If you can't throw that 4 seamer at 90-92 AND locate on the inner part of the plate, you're going to get hammered. Richie didn't do either very much this season. Location being the biggest problem, which I think is directly related to his mechanical change.
Now, for somebody like Z, Marquis, or Dempster, the velocity isn't nearly as important as the movement. Z's succeeding more now at 89-93 than he ever did at 94-96 due to all the movement... just as a point of reference.
Re:Hill's velocity
A few weeks ago, in a start that lasted five innings, Rich Hill threw
an 84 MPH fastball (it topped out around 88)
an 83 MPH slider
an 82 MPH change
With stuff like that he's got to get his curve over.
Re:Hill's velocity
I suppose I worded things wrong... everything was flat and he wasn't really changing speeds. You could tell what pitch he was trying to throw, but it all looked the same.
See ya in 2108
I know none of us will be around but be sure to tell our grand kids to meet up-
Re: Edmonds update
probably won't announce it until after the game
Unless something goes terribly wrong, the Cubs are poised to make their first key in-season addition of 2008 tonight when they sign Edmonds a few hours after he clears waivers. They're expected to announce the move after their game tonight, when young center fielder Felix Pie will be returned to Class AAA Iowa.
Re: Edmonds update
how does that work with the 40 man?
Re: Edmonds update
We have two spots open by my count. 39 listed on the roster with Guzzy on the 60 day.
Re: Edmonds update
yeah, what Wes said...
22 pitchers currently and 17 position players...then subtract one for Guzman who' s on the 60-day DL. We can sign Neifi anytime we want.
Re: Edmonds update
"We can sign Neifi anytime we want. "
Re: Edmonds update
Edmonds is our Ne!f! for this season.
Re: Guest Pitchers Aboard for Hoffpauired Win Streak
Rob: did you swap out that previous picture of Edmonds for this one with him wearing a wig and a red inflatable life-vest?
...is this edmonds and daryle ward in the you tube life vest demo (I can't feel my legs)
Edmonds is currently taking a physical
according to Levine and has already agreed to a 1 year deal at the vet min.
Re: Edmonds is currently taking a physical
I'm normally not a big fan of booing but I hope Cubs fans' throats burn cardinal red with boos
Physical update
Apparently Edmonds isnt getting town until 6 and will take it then per Hendry.
Re: Guest Pitchers Aboard for Hoffpauired Win Streak
I wish we could just watch Felix Pie flail away at balls in the dirt all year. Why do the cubs feel the need to upgrade Cf?
Re: Guest Pitchers Aboard for Hoffpauired Win Streak
Please show me some sort of evidence this is an upgrade
Pie is faster
Pie plays better defense
Pie somehow has been better on offense this year
Oh wait, he is a gamer and scrappy. He is white after all
Re: Guest Pitchers Aboard for Hoffpauired Win Streak
pie's a "real" prospect.
lou is not going to play him...and given how lost he is you can't really blame him too much.
pie can either sit around hoping for 200-250ab's...or someone else can come in and let the real prospect get some real work in AAA.
hell, i dunno how pie's lasted so long in the bigs barely working...seems like fuld (though he's not doing flashy at all in AAA) would be brought up if they wanted a guy to get 10ab's a week off the bench and crap weather spot starts.
Re: Guest Pitchers Aboard for Hoffpauired Win Streak
Sure you ocan blame him.
(Play recording) Pie is getting waaay too sporadic of playing time to develop at all. It's a wonder he can even hold the bat at the right end at this point. Look at the game logs.
Recent comments
this game is f'n flying by.
also, "Hernandez (5-4, 3.45) versus Hendricks (9-7, 2.39), ruined by ESPN tomorrow at 7:08pmCST." gets 1000 upvotes and a gold star.
His control is still off with a lot of overthrowing of his fastball. Mariners haven't been able to take advantage of it so far but it still doesn't seen like he's had a start this year where his mechanics have been great start to finish.
Why is that disconcerting, OB?
He was a big key to the crazy start, a big key to the end of last year, a big key in not beating the Mets (although lots of help from a tired inexperienced team there), so although the team as a whole can get through a series with a good Jake it will be tough with a bad Jake. I don't think it's realistic to have the insanely great Jake again, but maybe it is. Seeing today's box score it appears maybe it is - but I haven't been able to tune in yet.
IMO Jake is really the key to winning the World Series, but maybe I'm putting too much emphasis on one player.
The reports that they offered EITHER Jimenez or Torres for Chapman are a little disconcerting. I hope 1) Those reports are wrong, and 2) if they are not wrong, that they will hold on to him, as the team could use the outfield depth. I have only seen him in the futures game, but he looks like a keeper.
Very nice. I saw him in Lansing in May. I'm still stunned that he hit a 400-foot foul ball onto Larch Street ... which is going the other way for a right-handed batter. It was perhaps the most amazing swing I've ever seen a minor league player take. I should also mention that it was about 40 degrees out at the time. Not that it's evidence of anything per se, but I feel his plate approach is way more advanced than Soler was at this stage in his development and that the comparisons aren't really fair to Jimenez. 50/50 chance I'll go to Midland tonight for the low-A debut of Oscar de la Cruz.
Eloy Jimenez grand slam tonight. Hoping Soler power returns and gets hot but future looks bright in the outfield regardless.
Finished the night 4-5, with two doubles - 32(!) on the season - along with the grand slam. Sick
Meanwhile, out West:
SF is 2-11 since the break, lead over LA is down to one game, and they are running out Cain and Peavy this weekend against the Nats. Challenging times by the Bay.
Thanks for the updates Phil. Too bad about Frazier.
The Cubs have released RHRP Scott Frazier (2013 7th round dfraft pick - Pepperdine).
A Cubs pitching coach told me in Spring Training 2014 that he thought Frazier had the best pure stuff in the organization. Absolutely electric fastball & breaking ball combo. Other pitchers would gather behind the screen just to watch him throw "live" BP. That's how amazing he was.
Got a chance to see Diamondbacks RHSP Zack Greinke (15-day DL - strained oblique) throw a rehab start at Sloan Park Friday night. Four of the first seven AZL Cubs hitters singled and the Cubs did score an unearned run in the bottom of the 1st inning, but then Greinke got serious and struck out five in a row.
ZACK GREINKE: 3.0 IP, 4 H, 1 R (0 ER), 0 BB, 5 K, 4/0 GO/AO, 49 pitches (34 strikes)
Have fun - It may be good for Arrieta to be facing a team that doesn't know him as well as the NL teams. A nice shutout would do wonders for his confidence. He is confident in public but baseball is hard and he could use a boost, I'm sure.
Me too. I'll be at the game tomorrow and would love to see Good Arrieta.
Last few games have been the April version of the Cubs that disappeared completely the past two months.
Hope they can sustain it.
Don't sell yourself short, Judge.

1938 Delage D8-120 news, pictures, specifications, and information
The Delage D8-120 was created after the merger between Delage and Delahaye. Louis Delage built racing and road cars up until 1935. The D8-120 has an eight cylinder, 4.3-liter engine developed from the six-cylinder Delahaye 135. It also has a Cotal electromagnetic gearbox. Many companies created extravagant bodies for the D8 but the VanVooren Company's more subtle approach is rare and wonderful. Witness this VanVooren convertible Victoria with three-position top.
Letourner et Marchand
Delage was a graduate engineer and a former chief draftsman and tester for Peugeot. His namesake company was created in 1905 and he strictly enforced2 two codes for building automobiles; they must be of the highest-quality engineering and they must exude beauty and art. Under his rule for the next three decades, Louis Delage's wonderful machines exceeded these expectations. What made Delage grand also became its undoing.
Excessive amounts of money were spent on prototypes that proved inadequate. More capital was spent on racing endeavors - winning the 1927 Grand Prix World Championship - that should have been put towards better use. Sales of costly chassis continued at very low rates. Finally, in April of 1935, Delage went into receivership. Losing his entire fortune, he died virtually penniless in 1947. After liquidation, the marque was purchased by a former agent for the brand. In August of 1935 the newly rescued Delage Company entered contract with Delahaye, and two years later was fully absorbed by the manufacturer.
This car wears an aerosport coupe body that was crafted by the Parisian firm of Letourneur & Marchand. It is one of just 12 examples produced and was completed in September of 1938. Upon its completion, it was immediately displayed at the 1938 Paris Salon. It was purchased by the present owner in December of 2008.
Louis Delage was born in 1874 and was handicapped by blindness in one eye. This handicap would not hinder him at all in creating some of the most elegant and beautiful creations of the pre-WWII era, and into the early 1950s. He acquired his engineering abilities while working for Peugeot. He worked with the company until 1905, when he left to build cars bearing his own name.
Delage had a strong loyalty to France, and he endeavored to build cars that would bring honor to his country. He began racing in 1906 and acquired some success. By 1913, he had constructed a worthy racing machine to claim the Grand Prix de France. His racing machines continued to evolve. In 1914, they featured double overhead camshafts and brakes on all four wheels.
Rene Thomas drove a Delage in the 1914 Indianapolis 500 where he emerged victorious. In 1924, he set a land speed record at just over 143 mph.
During World War I, the newly built factory in Courbevoie was used for the production of military items.
During the mid-1920s, the Delage cars were powered by eight-cylinder engine displacing 1.5-liters. In 1927, Robert Benoist drove a Delage with an inline-eight cylinder engine to a victory at the Grand Prix de France, Spanish Grand Prix, British Grand Prix at Brooklands, and the Grand Prix de l'Europe at Monza. After this brilliant accomplishment, Delage announced his retirement from racing.
Delage had left the sport on a high-note, but there were troubled times in its future. The Great Depression rattled many industries, including the automotive world. By 1935, Delage had felt the strains of this painful time in history, and was forced to enter liquidation. A Delage dealer named Walter Watney purchased the company's assets. This proved to be a pipe-dream for Watney, and soon was looking for aid from an automotive partner who could help bear the costs of engineering, development and manufacturing. Luckily, he found the assistance he was searching for - at Delahaye. An agreement was reached which allowed the Delage name to continue.
The first new product from this union was the D8-120. Mounted in the long, graceful bonnets were an eight-cylinder engine. The engine was basically a Delahye 135MS six with two additional cylinders. Some of Europe's greatest coachbuilders were tasked with creating designs for the chassis. The list includes Saoutchik, Chapron, Pourtout, and Letourner et Marchand.
The Delage D8's were very impressive automobiles that had style and glamour in a high-performance package. Though the economy disparity of the time begged Delage to move down market, the company refused, and continued to produce their high-priced machines.
The Delage D8-120 had hydraulic brakes, Cotal electromagnet gearbox, and a suspension comprised of transverse leaf springs in the front. The 4.3-liter eight-cylinder engine was capable of producing nearly 100 horsepower in unmodified guise.
The Delage D8-100 was a long-wheel base version of the short-wheelbase D8-120. Both the D8-100 and D-120 were built as a conventional rolling chassis and supplied to the coachbuilders for completion. The coachbuilders would often construct the final product to the exact specifications and requirements supplied by the customer. Because of this, many of the vehicles and their specifications vary considerably. Prior to World War II, around 100 examples were created.
Production of the Delage vehicles continued until 1953.

Acer's Chromebox CXI turns monitors into desktop PCs for just over £100
Houses the Chrome OS in a 0.6 litre frame that can hang on the back of a display
ACER IS BRINGING Google's Chrome operating system (OS) to desktop systems via a box that attaches to the back of a monitor, turning it into a desktop PC.
Named the Acer Chromebox CXI, the device is all about maximising space while saving money by housing the Chrome OS in a 0.6 litre frame measuring 6.5x5.1x1.3in that can stand upright on its own or hang conveniently on the back of a display.
On the inside, the Acer Chromebox CXI boasts 802.11a/b/g/n WiFi connectivity, Bluetooth 4.0 and Gigabit Ethernet, powered by a dual-core 1.4GHz Intel Celeron 2957U processor with up to 4GB of RAM. It has a 16GB solid-state disk (SSD) drive and thus promises a boot-up time of just eight seconds. There are also be four USB 3.0 ports, including two with power-off charging for smartphones and tablets, Acer said.
The Taiwanese firm claims that the Chromebox CXI's ability to maximize space makes it ideal for public places such as libraries and classroom environments as well as small and medium businesses for task-based user terminals.
"The Acer Chromebox CXI is an excellent fit for schools or businesses where conserving costs and space are high priorities," Acer president of stationary computing and display business group Simon Hwang said in a statement.
"Due to the ease of management, the Chromebox can significantly reduce the technical support and consequently lower the total cost of ownership."
Other features of the Chromebox CXI include an SDcard reader supporting up to 32GB cards, an HDMI port for connecting external displays, a combo audio jack for microphones and headsets, and a Gigabit Ethernet LAN port for wired network connections.
So far, Acer has announced availability and pricing for the CXI only in the US. The firm has yet to confirm whether the device will see a UK release, but it will be available late next month in the US and Canada with prices beginning at $179.99 (around £110) for the version with 2GB of RAM and $219.99 (£130) for the 4GB model.As part of its Chromebox announcement, Acer also unveiled another Chromebook 11, claiming faster wireless connectivity and long-lasting battery life to "extend productivity from day to night on a single charge".
There are two models with Acer's Chromebook release, the CB3-111 consumer model in an white color, and the grey coloured C730 which is focused towards the commercial and education sectors.
"The Acer Chromebook 11 meets the needs of students, families, anyone on a budget, as an affordable secondary device, and for the growing number of customers who enjoy the Google ecosystem for school, work and entertainment," Acer said.
Acer is yet to announce UK prices or release dates for its fresh Chromebook. µ

Banana + Coconut Bread
One of my favourite breads of all time is banana bread. I bake lots of it in my kitchen and love to vary the ingredients depending on how I feel or the result I want to achieve. I have about 5 purely delicious banana bread recipes and my Banana Chia + Coconut Bread Rocks ! I love it because it's so simple to make and it's yummy on it's own or wonderful with all sorts of toppings such as almond butter, ricotta + manuka honey, tahini or smashed banana and bio yoghurt. Perfect with a cup of green tea or Immune Boosting Green Smoothie for breakfast.
I get many emails from people wanting recipe tips on how to bake with coconut flour – The secret is not to add too much of it ! Coconut flour sucks up the liquid 3 – 4 times more than other flours you may be used to – this is because of it's wonderful high fibre content. Eggs need to be added to give the bread structure, lightness and body. Adding chia seed adds the final touch and allows it to stay lovely and moist.
What's good about it:
Bananas are a terrific energy food and a great source of potassium, an essential mineral for maintaining normal blood pressure and heart function.They add moisture and sweetness to baked goods, which means you can reduce the amount of sweetener and oil considerably. Coconut flour is packed with soluble fibre that is great for healthy digestion and helping to lower cholesterol.The chia seed pumps up the omega 3 in the bread. Health benefits of omega 3 are helping to lower cholesterol levels, reduce high blood pressure, improves symptoms of arthritis, improves mental health as the brain is 60% fat and needs omega 3 to function properly. I love using macadamia nut oil when baking, it's a delicious source of monounsaturated fats that can help support good health and wellbeing.
Makes 1 loaf
Serves 12
400 g (14 oz) ripe banana
6 free range / organic eggs
4 fresh pitted dates (see notes)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract or 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
60 ml (2 fl oz/ 1/4 cup) macadamia nut oil, coconut oil or cold pressed olive oil
half teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons gluten free baking powder
70 g ( 1/2 cup/ 2 1/2 oz) ) coconut flour
20 g (1/4 cup / 1 oz) chia seed (see notes)
Preheat your oven to 150 C. (fan forced) 170 C ( no fan)
Combine banana, dates, oil, cinnamon, vanilla, eggs and baking powder into a blender or food processor and blend until creamy and combined - alternatively you can do this by hand in a large bowl.
Add the coconut flour and chia seeds and mix through.
Rest for 10 minutes to allow the chia and coconut flour to expand.
Lightly oil one loaf tin and then line with baking paper – The size I used was: 10 1/2 cm wide and 26 cm long.
Spoon batter into the tin – at this stage you can decorate the bread with flaked coconut of sliced banana before baking.
Bake for 50 – 55 minutes ( a skewer inserted into the centre should come out dry).
Cover the top with foil if over-browning.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool before turning out the loaf.
Makes 1 loaf serves 12.
keeps in the fridge covered for up to 1 week. (freezes well too)
Serves 12
Serving Suggestions:
Ricotta + Honey
Almond / Macadamia Nut Butter
Plain + Simple
Sliced banana + manuka honey
I love to decorate the top of my banana bread before baking with a light sprinkle of cinnamon and flaked coconut.
If mixing by hand use 1 tbsp organic maple syrup, manuka honey or stevia in place of the dates.
You can purchase coconut flour in most quality health food stores or natural grocers.
Flaxseed can replace chia

Watch 40 minutes of The Mercenaries 3D
If you're uncertain about purchasing Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D after today's ineradicable save file revelation, perhaps watching 40 minutes of it being played will help decide you.
Capcom Unity recorded a nice long play session. Gameplay footage starts off as a screen-in-screen but soon swaps into full-frame 3DS direct feed (shudder). My eyessssss.
The Unity team answer questions, but pretty much just merrily play through. Check it out below.
Thanks, CVG.

Shares of the following companies had unusual moves in Philippine trading. Stock symbols are in parentheses and prices are as of the close in Manila.
The Philippine Stock Exchange Index rose for a sixth day, adding less than 0.1 percent to 4,372.24, the highest close since Sept. 2. The gauge added 1.6 percent this week, heading for a 4.1 percent yearly advance.
Construction-related stocks: Holcim Philippines Inc. (HLCM PM), the nation's biggest cement producer, climbed 6.4 percent to 9.10 pesos, the sharpest gain since June 30, on expectations government spending on construction will increase after the National Economic Development Authority approved 14.4 billion pesos ($331.2 million) worth of projects. DMCI Holdings Inc. (DMC PM), the country's biggest construction company, increased 3.5 percent to 41.50 pesos, the highest close since Sept. 2.
Philippine Estates Corp. (PHES PM) jumped 18 percent to 23.5 centavos, the highest close since June 26, 2009, while Wellex Industries Inc. (WIN PM) advanced 17 percent to 28 centavos, the highest close since Jan. 16, 2008.
The Philippine Daily Inquirer reported the companies are involved in talks for Ayala Land Inc. to develop a 60-hectare property in Manila, citing unidentified people. Wellex said in a stock-exchange filing that it's not involved in the talks. Philippine Estates President Kenneth Gatchalian and Ayala Land President Antonino Aquino couldn't be reached at their offices for comment.
SM Investments Corp. (SM PM), the holding company of Philippine billionaire Henry Sy, advanced for a seventh day, climbing 2.2 percent to 585.50 pesos, the highest close since Nov. 3, 2010, after Chief Financial Officer Jose Sio told ABS-CBN News Channel that the group's malls in China will post 20 percent sales growth this year.

Idiom: "Camaron que se duerme, se lo lleva la corriente"
Translation: "The shrimp that falls asleep is carried away by the current"
Meaning: if you get distracted (or fall asleep), you will be left behind. It is best translated to the saying "you snooze you lose."
The origin of this saying can be traced back to a short story , Un alma en pena. The short story was written in 1862 by Puerto Rican author Alejandro Tapia y Rivera and read: camaron dormido me arrastre la corriente. The idiom is known in both Spain and Latin America however it is more widely used in Latin America.
We would like to thanks Marcelo Escobar for this image that I am using for this post. Please visit Marcelo's blog " Tinta Chilena" for more of his art.

Amsterdam is the perfect base for exploring the Netherlands by train. Its key position on the European rail network also makes it a popular first stop for travellers from Britain setting off to explore the continent by train.
The city's celebrated canals and traditional housing give the centre of Amsterdam a remarkable small town feel. Its compact size makes the city ideal for exploring on foot or by bike. The city is notably gay-friendly and laid back. Whether you just want to take the pulse of local life in backstreet cafés or sample Amsterdam's world-class art galleries, the city is first and foremost a place to chill.
The main rail hub is Centraal Station (often just called CS). It is at the northern edge of the city centre. From London, the usual route is with Eurostar to Brussels, connecting there onto either a Thalys or IC train for the onward journey to Amsterdam. In 2017, Eurostar will launch a direct London to Amsterdam service.
Amsterdam already has an excellent range of direct international connections. These include regular Thalys services to Brussels and Paris. A new hourly InterCity (IC) service from Amsterdam to Antwerp and Brussels started in December 2014. There are six daily ICE departures to Cologne and Frankfurt. IC trains leave every two hours for Hannover and Berlin. There is a useful direct daytime train to Basel in Switzerland and overnight services leave Amsterdam every evening for both Munich and Zurich. Amsterdam is a key hub in the Dutch national rail network with departures at least hourly to most major cities across the Netherlands.

Research Institution:
AbstractThe detection and classification of toxic industrial chemicals (TICS) is an important capability to the nation's defense forces, first responder units, and law enforcement, not to mention the more traditional needs in industrial monitoring and control, construction, and even household applications. First responders, in all levels of government, need to be warned of the presence and type of TICS when first arriving at the scene of plant explosions, fires, terrorist attacks, and other events. Law enforcement organizations also require this capability when reconning and raiding anticipated drug manufacturing and distribution sites, monitoring the nation's borders, and many other activities. All of these applications may be looking at different types of chemicals, but they may also be acquiring the samples in different ways and may also have different concepts of operation when utilizing a TICS detector.The goal of the proposed effort is to enhance the capability of TICS detection for these applications through advanced nanofabrication processes and realize a small, versatile, and sensitive detector for TICS.

By Sgt. Brian J Smith Dutton (FORSCOM)February 6, 2014
FORT CAMPBELL, Ky. - Soldiers throughout the 3rd Brigade Combat Team "Rakkasans," 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) took part in a Brigade wide new equipment fielding exercise here which started Jan. 6 and ended Jan. 29.
"We are out here fielding this equipment to not only work out the kinks but to also get better hands on training for everyone," said 1st Lt. Eric Williams, the Capability Set 2013 Planner assigned to Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 3rd BCT, 101st Abn. Div. "This took the entire Brigade's effort to train up to this event as well as field the equipment."
The Capability Set 2013 program is a communication system that not only allows Soldiers to use hand held devices to update locations and view maps, but to also combine that with an advanced radio network so that commanders can visually see where each Soldier is as well as communicate with that Soldier throughout the battlefield.
�"What makes this program different from past programs is the mobility and scale of the equipment," said Sgt. Cody Payovich, an Information Technology Specialist assigned to Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 3rd BCT, 101st Abn. Div. �"Before this new equipment, the only mobile communications we had were radios, but now with the new CS-13 integrated vehicles we have mobile data use, which means the vehicle is basically a laptop on wheels so to speak."
Soldiers and leaders from the Rakkasans trained on CS 13 more than six month ago and it has been a major focus for units to integrate into their exercises.
"We have worked with the CS-13 program for the last six months to become experts with this equipment," said Williams."I think the program is a very interesting take on communications that will give the Brigade more capabilities and better enable mission command."
More than 500 Soldiers throughout the Brigade took part in the fielding exercise, in order to become more proficient with the new equipment, working hands on to set up a mobile headquarters as well as practicing movement using the CS-13.
"This is new equipment that Soldiers may have never seen before," said Williams. "I'm very impressed with how Soldiers adapted to and completed this field training while still keeping up with all their other duties."
The fielding exercise consisted of preparing and using the equipment as if in a deployed
"This new equipment does a lot to show how far technology has come and what it can do to help with the fight," said Williams. "I think in time this will have a great impact with the Rakkasan mission and help to extend the Brigade�'s reach out further than in the past."
Soldiers agree that although the new system took time to learn while during the exercise the benefits from using the CS-13 could better enhance their capabilities as a Brigade.
�"The concept of this system is great, mobile communications from the Brigade level all the way down to the Platoons on mission," said Payovich. �"While there are still bugs that need to be addressed while we are testing this system, I think in the long run this will be a system that we can rely on."
Although the training event may be over, the use of CS-13 within the Rakkasans is just beginning, Soldiers will see and learn more from this equipment in the months to come.
