Stocks rebound after data; financials climb
In her first press conference as chair of the Federal Reserve, Janet Yellen on Wednesday indicated that the first increase in interest rates could come in the first half of next year. She estimated the "considerable period" between the end of the Fed's stimulus and its first rate increase at possibly six months. Analysts widely expected a hike in the second half of 2015.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 108.88 points or 0.67 percent, to end at 16,331.05. The S&P 500 gained 11.24 points or 0.60 percent, to finish at 1,872.01. The Nasdaq Composite added 11.684 points or 0.27 percent, to close at 4,319.286.
President Barack Obama announced sanctions on Thursday against prominent Russians, including close allies of President Vladimir Putin, as Moscow raced to complete its annexation of Crimea and built up its forces in the region.
While few U.S. companies have outsized exposure to the region, investors are concerned about the fallout from any escalation in tension.
Jabil Circuit Inc forecast 2015 core earnings above Wall Street's estimates as the struggling contract electronics maker expects to recover from the loss of its business with BlackBerry Ltd . Jabil Circuit's stock slid 2.8 percent to $17.74.
Volume was light, with about 5.9 billion shares traded on U.S. exchanges, below the 6.7 billion average so far this month, according to data from BATS Global Markets.

Julian Dean Diary
Tour de France: Stage 5-7.
It was a little up and down the last 20km and this also made it hard. The problem now in these situations, is that without Petacchi and his team controlling the race, you never know what?s going to happen. No other sprinter had a team strong enough to control the finish. As a result, a few guys skipped away in the closing kms and took the stage just ahead of the peloton. I did my job in the lead-out and Thor was able to finish it off in the sprint.
Today, I wasn?t really feeling that good on the small climbs that we had in the end and I was suffering a little. I had to keep looking down to see if my back wheel was rubbing cause that was how it felt. The wheel rubbing wouldn?t have surprised me though as the Shimano wheels that we use are too soft and I have had them rubbing on the break pads before for no reason when I get out of the saddle. My climbing makes me a little worried about the mountain stages and whether I?ll be able to survive them. I did spend a far amount of energy this morning trying to get in the break and although I got in a couple, it was difficult to stay away doing 65km/hr. I certainly don?t feel like I?m climbing as well as I was at Tour of Swiss and with a few of the sprinters out already it?s going to be a less organized grupetto.
I hope that the feelings of today will pass and I?ll be able to find my rhythm and confidence on the climbs for next week. If I can?t then I?ll be in a spot of bother. Until then though, I will just keep on racin?. Tomorrow is the last day before the first rest day. I expect that it?ll all be on again as it?s the last of the flatter stages, although like today it?s a little undulating.
Just want to say thank you to all the people who?ve been writing to me. It?s awesome to read, especially when things are getting a little hard and I?m a bit down. I hope that I can have the chance at some point to get a stage victory for you all as I feel like I have the power for it? the problem will be getting the opportunity.

Protracted lawsuit against Stanford Blood Bank ends
Original post made on Jun 7, 2013
Read the full story here Web Link posted Friday, June 7, 2013, 8:41 AM
Comments (3)
a resident of Crescent Park
on Jun 7, 2013 at 11:40 am
If indeed "Before the 2008 incident, he had two prior complications of an unspecified nature at the blood bank in 2004 and 2006, according to court documents.", why in the world did Stanford encourage this guy to continue donating blood? In hindsight, this appears to be a disaster waiting to happen.
a resident of Evergreen Park
on Jun 7, 2013 at 6:36 pm
I've donated blood many times. However, I always bathe thoroughly before going to a blood bank, in part because bacteria is always present on skin, and in part because I would never rely 100% on a quick alcohol swab.
This man's infection was so severe that I wonder if he sought help in a timely manner.
a resident of Duveneck/St. Francis
on Jun 8, 2013 at 11:41 am
I agree with the first part of Marty's comment; take all precautions any time you go into a hospital, and even more for any sort of invasive test.
As for the second comment, what constitutes a timely manner? Infections can often seem trivial at first. Some infections become very serious very fast. But suppose Bul, a man without health coverage, didn't zip into a doctor's office right away and shell out what might be a significant amount of money for him? He would not have been alone, in this richest country in the world, but one that does not offer health care to all its citizens. Please, let's be careful before we "blame the victim."
Futhermore, is there any excuse for Stanford's failure to maintain high safety standards? I don't think so. Is there any excuse for the way they hid information that they were ethically, if not legally, bound to release? That doesn't look good either. A hospital that does an incredible amount of good for its patients should also hold itself to a high standard on all fronts, including dealing with its own mistakes.
I'm glad that the case was finally settled, so that justice delayed was not completely justice denied.
Don't miss out on the discussion!

Friday's show in Columbus was a dream–sold out theater and incredible music played by the inspiring Iris DeMent. We were so honored to be invited to share the stage…THANK YOU Six String Concerts and WCBE/NPR!
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
Happy Holiday wishes! Here's our version of "O Holy Night" with John Frazier on mandolin. Thanks for a wonderful year.
Kent Stage & Hot Rize
Here was our first trip up to Lake Erie and the haunted Kent Stage, where we performed for 400 happy fans of Hot Rize. A special treat was the fiddle trio with Royal, Christian, & John. Royal then turned 23 years old partyin' on the Hot Rize tour bus. Fantastic evening!!
Ann Arbor w Hot Rize
Hot Rize sounded fantastic at the Ark, one of my favorite haunts as a college girl at the University of Michigan. John Frazier & I were honored to play for their fans as a folky bluegrass duo, complete with a fiddle/banjo sing-along to end the set. I also traveled down memory lane, visiting old houses and campus haunts and feeling ghosts of memories lived.
Loveless Barn & Naomi Judd
We were surprised by our introduction to Country Royalty at Friday's fundraiser for the Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt. Musician & activist Naomi Judd came backstage to say hello and to report that bluegrass is her "favorite music." RIGHT ON! Ah yes, and she said that we were " so tight!"
Steep Canyon hang: Americana Music Association Official Showcase in Nashville
Haven't had much of a chance to hang with the Steeps since Dallas '09–when John was touring with SCR & Steve Martin, and they taught our baby son to crawl across a hotel room! I love these guys, and I loved the chance to be a part of the AMA Festival. Thanks to AMA for your tireless work promoting our music!
New shirts have arrived…
Soft, great-fitting Next Level brand shirts come in Ladies (more scooped neck) and Men's (normal cut). Sizes S, M, L, XL! Check 'em out at shows or order by mailing $23 to Hit & Run Bluegrass, PO Box 68201, Nashville TN 37206. <3
Rebecca featured ~ October Bluegrass Unlimited Magazine
Thanks so much, Bluegrass Unlimited…what an honor!!
Raleigh Magic at IBMA
Good times all around! We were an Official Showcase Artist at International Bluegrass Music Association's annual conference, and then we performed at the Wide Open Festival on Saturday.
Loved our showcases at California Bluegrass Association's exquisite & enthusiastic suite. Congrats to Noam Pikelny, Banjo Player of the Year! Thanks Crescendo Artists, our booking agency out of Colorado, who hosted us for their showcase at Architect Bar Thursday night. What a cool hang! Next up, running down the sidewalk at midnight (with heavy Calton Cases) for Musicians United showcase following Jim Lauderdale!
The band & crew may have collapsed in exhaustion after a long day, which included a video shoot, Gig Fair, and a full day of manning our lovely trade show booth, but several of us made it up to infamous Marriott 3rd floor for picking & socializing at the various hospitality suites. Saturday brought the guitar workshop, with Kenny Smith, Allen Shadd, & Rebecca Frazier. The workshop brought a few surprises including a special request for my own "Virginia Coastline." The workshop was also an awesome reminder of why I used to learn so many Kenny Smith solos when I lived in Colorado. That man's tone, artistry, and creativity is fully unique. What a blessing to get paired with him again this year. Somehow I also hadn't realized that Kenny picks a '35 D-18! Pretty amazing.
We loved our other showcases- Pour House, Kings, Convention Center, and Boston Bluegrass Union. We also owe a huge thanks to my pal Cassie, who came along and helped with the booth, merchandise, and overall moral support. It was a great week! Thanks to everyone who made it happen!
From Mountains to Tidewater: Asheville, Richmond, Roanoke, Mathews
Thanks to everyone who hosted us for our pre-IBMA run! It was great to get a shout-out in Asheville's Mountain Xpress before our Isis Music Hall show, and Tellico sounded amazing! Thanks so much to Anya Hinkle for bringing her 2 year old playmate to sound-check….It was Cora's first time touring solo with her mom (big bro had to stay at home for kindergarten).
The Blue Grass Bash in Richmond had their biggest crowd yet, which helped us raise funds for St. Stephen's and their many good works! Roanoke brought a wonderful crowd to party and dance at Martin's Downtown. And coastal Virginia was beautiful as always, and proved to be a mecca of bluegrass lovers as well. Thanks White Dog Bistro and Mathews, VA!

But I get the sense you really don't know what you've done here, do you? Are you from out of town? I have the strong sense that you are.
If that is the case, allow me tell you a little something about the city you screwed with. This town is not your run-of-the mill medium sized regional capital. In picking Boston as a target you picked has the unique condition of having a ridiculously huge number of completely off-the-wall genius techno-wizards co-existing right alongside some of the most psychotic angry, violent motherf&*^ers on the planet. I guarantee you that bringing these two groups together for common cause will turn out to be a massive miscalculation your part.
Do you have any idea what I'm talking about? This small city produced both Stephen J Gould and Whitey Bulger. This place gave us Leonard Nimoy and Mark Wahlberg. Southie and Cambridge. Brookline and Brockton. This place will kick the screaming piss out of you, come up with a cure for having the screaming piss kicked out of you, give it to you for free, then win a Nobel prize for it and then use the medallion to break your knuckles. See what I'm talking about?
Go to other towns with smart people. Do they have the tattooed, scarred, pent-up hard-cases to match? Every time I go to a bar in Palo Alto or Zurich I get the distinct sense that I could pretty much take everyone in there while still holding my own in Words With Friends on my iPhone. Not that I'm some huge tough guy by any stretch of the imagination, it's just that Boston and the other "smart" towns are in different leagues. It's like the Bruins going up against some "Magic The Gathering" gamers at pond hockey. (And not our the Magic The Gathering players in Gloucester, either. I've seen those dudes and they actually look like they could hold their own pretty well. I certainly wouldn't try and cast a dubious spell with those guys, they're hardcore.)
Boston produces two distinct stereotypes: Huge, giant geeks and angry Catholic tough guys. You know what? Both of those are true and you, you dumb shit, just gave them a reason to team up. And on top of it you attacked our signature event, one made up of exceedingly fit people who pursue a hobby of enduring incredible searing pain for hours on end. This is what they do for "fun". You think these guys aren't going to go to the ends of the Earth to catch you? Trust me, this town will never forget and never give up. We have a thing here called "Irish Alzheimer's"- it's when the only memories you have are grudges.
You terrorist asshole, I can assure you that right now, just as I am writing this, that there are dudes sitting in conference rooms and labs a few blocks away in Cambridge drawing elaborate flow charts on whiteboards that describe exactly how to deploy arcane, unheard of and incredibly complicated technology involving quantum entanglement and nanobots to pinpoint, as much as the universe will allow considering the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, your sorry, sorry stupid pathetic little ass.
And behind me in the North End and across the channel to the bars on Summer St. there are similar groups of dudes debating the scientific merits of different electrical voltages applied to the various soft tissues of the human body in order to elicit maximum amounts of excruciating pain over time. They have formulas for this [V/NADS over Time= Screams that they will hear in Worcester]. This is not a theoretical discussion; they are speaking from practical experience.
You'd better pray the BPD catches you first. No, scratch that, you'd better pray for the FBI. No, wait, all those dudes went to Holy Cross. For your own good you might want to turn yourself in to the CDC or the National Geospatial Agency or something like that. They might let you live. Maybe.
And worse yet for you, Boston is provincial in a way that makes Sicily look like Epcot. We don't care if you're going to school here, just moved from half a world away or are up for a long weekend. When you're in Boston, you're Boston. We watch each other's backs, always have and always will. And we live for an enemy and a purpose. This is not going to end well for you. Over the past three centuries we've taken on Imperial England, slavery and Krispy Kreeme. Note that given time, Boston wins every time.
Come to think of it, a lot of those Geospatial guys went to MIT. Oh man, you are so effed.
In response to Boston Marathon Tragedy, an Interfaith Prayer Service is being organized here in Gloucester:
Interfaith Prayer Service in Response to the Boston Marathon Tragedy
Wednesday, April 17th, 7:00 p.m.

Yesterday afternoon we were at the Cincinnati airport returning to Boston when we heard the initial report of the bombings at the marathon finish line. It's difficult to put into words the anger and sickening feelings one experiences upon seeing a beloved city under attack and especially the marathon event, which brings an international crowd of participants and cheerers-on.
The marathon is cherished by Bostonians and it shines a world-wide spotlight on their beautiful city during the celebration of this oldest of annual marathons. The Boston Marathon is a tremendous source of pride for our state and for our nation. Immediately your heart goes out to the victims and their families. You see featured on the news extraordinary acts of bravery and kindness in people helping people. But then you begin to think about future public events and the larger implications on our freedom-loving society.
Acts of terror, whether domestic or international, are designed to forever imprint fear. We were unable to attend the marathon this year as my widowed sister-in-law remarried over the weekend, but I know where I will be next year.
After both September 11th and the marathon bombings, students at MIT illuminated the Green Building in red, white, and blue.
Either leave your bib number in the comment section of this post or email it to firstname.lastname@example.com
Also after the race or during the race if anyone wants to email pictures to me of locals running send me those cell phone pics from the race and be sure top include the runner's name so we can properly identify them!

If you are beginning to detect clunking sound, wandering, and poor handling, it may be the perfect time to obtain a brand new Honda Civic ball joint .

Bit Guards
English Bridle AccFor Sale on eBay Manufacturer: Rubber
Model: Bit Guards
Category: English Bridle Acc
Purchase: These can be bought from most tack shops, catalogs and online retailers for just under a dollar to about $3.00 for a pair. The cheaper you can find them, the better.
Likes: These are wonderful to protect the corners of the horses' lips from being pinched by a loose ring bit or from having the bit pull through the horses' mouth to the other side.
Dislikes: Putting these onto a bit can be tricky at best and downright frustrating at the worst. A saddler taught me that to put these on a bit, you take two flat leather reins and loop them through the center hole. Then, with a loop in each hand, slowly pull the reins in opposite directions to stretch the center opening. Push the stretched hole down over the bit ring as you prop the bit between your knees or have a friend hold the ring for you. However, if the quality is poor and the rubber is not flexible enough, the hole will rip with almost no effort. That's why I suggest you go for the cheaper ones. I've used both high priced and cheap and found no difference.
Quality: If the quality of the rubber is good and they are flexible enough, these will go on most bits will little effort and not get damaged in the process. They come in lots of colors now, but I have most experience with the white and black ones. I have not found any difference from one color rubber to another.
Summary: Again, these are great for protecting your horses' lips and be sure to look for the lower prices.

Wednesday's Tech Winners & Losers
Updated from 10:59 a.m. EDT
Technology stocks fell Wednesday as investors continued to pore over earnings reports.
Despite posting better-than-expected third-quarter results, Cisco (CSCO - Get Report) shares fell 6.5% on Wednesday. The company posted earnings of $1.9 billion, or 30 cents a share, on revenue of $8.9 billion. Excluding items, the company earned $2.1 billion, or 34 cents a share. Analysts expected earnings of 33 cents a share on revenue of $8.76 billion. During the year-earlier quarter, the company earned $1.4 billion, or 22 cents a share, on revenue of $7.3 billion. Excluding items, the company posted adjusted earnings of $1.8 billion, or 29 cents a share, during the year-earlier quarter.
Looking ahead, Cisco now sees fourth-quarter revenue of $9.2 billion to $9.3 billion. Analysts project revenue of $9.23 billion. Shares, which had risen about 10% over the past month, closed down $1.85 to $26.51.
Elsewhere, Finisar (FNSR - Get Report) rose 4.7%, despite cutting fourth- and first-quarter revenue guidance. The networking company now sees fourth-quarter revenue of about $97 million, down from an earlier forecast of $104 million to $110 million. For the first quarter, the company now sees revenue of $105 million to $112 million, down from earlier guidance of $108 million to $115 million. The company blamed the outlook on inventory adjustments by some of its customers, which resulted in lower demand for Finisar's products. Analysts project fourth-quarter revenue of $107.5 million and first-quarter revenue of $111.8 million. Shares closed up 16 cents to $3.55. Meanwhile, Emageon (EMAG) tumbled 26.9% after the technology systems company posted disappointing first-quarter results and cut its full-year outlook.

During the year-earlier quarter, the company posted a loss of $7 million, or 34 cents a share, on revenue of $27 million. Looking ahead, Emageon now sees a full-year loss of 17 cents to 22 cents a share on revenue of $112 million to $115 million. Previously, the company said that it would earn 24 cents to 29 cents a share on revenue of $136 million to $140 million. Analysts project earnings of 26 cents a share on revenue of $137.9 million. Shares closed down $3.06 to $8.31.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Power steering plays a major role in the Honda car. The steering rack slightly differs from the manual rack and pinion. Actual difference is in the rack. The rack has a cylinder with the piston in the middle. There are two fluid ports on the either side of the piston which in turn is connected to the rack. The piston moves with the force from the high pressure fluid and this movement also affects the rack providing the power assist. You can feel the difference in steering response, if there is the functioning problem with the power steering rack.
If your power steering rack does not work properly, try to replace it with a quality part at the earliest. Since it plays a major component in your Honda car's mechanism, it has to be replaced with genuine parts. If you are looking for perfect replacement for your Honda power steering rack then you can find them in good quality at Car Parts Warehouse. It is really easy to find the parts from our online store.

Man Utd send injured Neville home
Manchester United right-back Gary Neville has flown home from the club's Far East tour with a groin strain. The 34-year-old played 62 minutes against a Malaysia XI on Monday and travelled to South Korea where United will play FC Seoul on Friday. But he has picked up an injury which, although described as "minor" by the club, will be concerning. Neville has spent the past two seasons primarily on the sidelines trying to overcome various injury problems. The England international wi.... read more

New Jersey Muslims sue NYPD to end surveillance
The plaintiffs say the NYPD's program to monitor Muslims on the basis of their religion is a constitutional violation. The NYPD says it's a necessary safeguard against future terrorism.
Mary Altaffer
New York
After the Associated Press revealed that the NYPD was conducting surveillance of Muslims on the basis of their religion, legal scholars immediately began to debate whether the NYPD's program was a violation of the First Amendment. Now, the issue is set to be heard in a federal courtroom in New Jersey.
A group of New Jersey residents, mosques, and organizations on Wednesday filed a federal lawsuit against the City of New York, accusing the NYPD of violating their constitutional rights by targeting them for surveillance outside of mosques, in Muslim student group meetings, and at religious schools on the basis of their religion. The lawsuit could help define how far investigators can go in the name of national security.
"The facts are just so compelling, what the NYPD is doing is egregious. It may be going on in other law enforcement agencies, but the AP reports are a smoking gun that they are targeting people based on religion," says Glenn Katon, legal director of Muslim Advocates, a California-based nonprofit that is representing the plaintiffs.
So far, the NYPD's tactics have included sending an officer on a student whitewater rafting trip to note how frequently participants stopped for prayer, taking down the license plate numbers of cars parked at mosques, and noting patrons and employees in shops catering to observant Muslims.
Police Commissioner Ray Kelly has said that police need to do this type of work in a post-9/11 world. In a statement, NYPD Deputy Commissioner Paul Browne referred to New Jersey Attorney General Jeffrey Chiesa's determination that the surveillance efforts were legal. Mr. Browne added that "NYPD activities in New Jersey were lawful, appropriate, and in keeping with efforts there, in New York, and around the world to prevent terrorists from returning here to kill more New Yorkers."

The past few months have been unusual – but this week has taken the cake – the circus has come to town and does not seem to be ready to leave anytime soon.
While President Obama was flying to the west coast to become the first sitting president to appear on the "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," Congress was voting to retroactively tax AIG bonuses. AIG received government bailout money, but legislation that could have prevented bonus payments was changed prior to the passage last month of the stimulus bill. Senator Christopher Dodd, chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, said the idea to change the provision "came from the administration."
AIG received U.S. government bailout money. AIG paid bonuses. The actions and sequence does give one pause and stir up feeling of outrage – how could this happen?
While the concept of paying out bonuses while receiving money from the government is outrageous, the contracts would have allowed for bonuses three times the size of what was paid, according to the White House transcript of Obama on "The Tonight Show." " Obama continued with his opinion (remember he is a lawyer) "they were making a legal calculation, and their legal judgment was not necessarily wrong."
Based on Obama's statement, AIG was legally required to pay the bonuses – and in fact if they had not paid the bonuses then the company was possibly facing almost $500 million in bonus payments, more than three times the $165 million that was paid.
The news story around these same facts could have been – while Congress rushes stimulus plan and edits provision that might have prevented$165 million in AIG bonuses – AIG executives save $330 million by following the law.
While I am personally not thrilled with the idea of U.S. government money going to AIG executives – let us review the facts: There was not enough clear definition regarding how the bailout money could be spent and the company was legally obligated to pay now or pay more later. It did what most companies do –it followed the law and paid now to avoid paying more later.
Good senior executives in companies obey the law and make decisions based on their understanding of economics. First you follow the law. Whether it makes you personally upset or offends your sense of fairness does not matter – if the bonuses were contractual – which, according to Obama they were, then you have to pay. Second, you decide which legal decision costs you the least money. In this case, the decision was to pay now to avoid paying more later.

Many are predicting Flash's days are numbered. However, we've rounded up six reasons why this may not be the case.
5. Flash remains popular with online advertisers
Flash is the entrenched technology most used by the online advertising community, and this fact could prevent or at least hinder widespread adoption of an alternative. Neither HTML nor any other technology has provided a compelling reason for advertisers to move away from Flash for traditional web ad delivery.
Flash will have a place in mobile advertising as well.
"Since Google is committing to support Flash [in Android], at least in the short-term, there should be ample opportunity for Flash advertisements on a wide range of mobile devices," says Rubin.
Despite that promise, advertisers don't want to give up on the attractive iPhone/iPad audience. They say there's an immediate need for a technology to conveniently and cheaply convert Flash ads to HTML 5 so they can be viewed on Apple's mobile devices. That's why web advertising design and development firms such as Greystripe are leading the charge to develop Flash-to-HTML 5 conversion technologies. The company's Lightning Technology converts Flash ads to iOS-friendly HTML 5.
Perhaps the most widely reported of these efforts is the open-source Smokescreen project. Developed by RevShock, a mobile ad start-up, Smokescreen shows promise in its initial form, but its performance doesn't match what users get with Flash content that runs natively. "Smokescreen exemplifies the immaturity of HTML 5," says Rubin.
Why don't advertisers simply develop in HTML 5 for mobile devices? Compared to traditional online advertising designed for computers, advertising distributed to mobile devices is still a relatively new and small market. Being able to develop ads in a single, familiar platform and simply convert them to HTML 5 will keep the cost of producing them low.
Bottom line: Even if iOS devices never directly support Flash, it may be the development platform of choice for ads for a long time to come.

What to expect when you're expecting (an acceptance letter)
4.13 / 5.00 4,682 ViewsThis was from before I actually got a Daily 1st... So pretend I didn't get one...
Now I look like a complete tool.. I'm sorry.
Anyway, go check out SilverPoyozo for the brilliant background music. The guy has a real talent.
lol you trew Tom Fulp your shoe *whispers* hope he doesnt notice it
Doubtful. :]
I like your animations a lot, but there's one thing that i've noticed that could be much better.
Your voice acting. The "If I Had One" phrase had so much dramatic potential, but i didn't hear any of it come out of your voice. Don't be afraid to try emphasizing certain words or phrases within your flashes. I think that you could be much better if you worked on that.
On the other hand, I love your skill at animation, for i know i would not have the time and patience that it takes to be able to make something like this, let alone the skill. Overall, great job, and i hope to see you do more and get better by doing so!
Have a great day.
I'll be doing a lot in 2014. It'll be a very, very busy year.

Very awesome animation, I was so happy to see that Fairly Oddparents reference. Good job over all as usual, all of your animations deserve a daily 1st.
Rofl I wouldn't say all of them, but I'm glad you enjoy them. ^_^
That was quite rad. You've a knack for animation and skit writing, which makes a good combination, and seems to streamline things as well.
Well I can't take credit for the skit as it is from FairyOddParents. But I appreciate your review. Thank you kindly.
This would make a pretty good new year's resolution for an animator and man,you have the potential and who knows,you will make it there very soon as at the rate you're improving(and submitting),so keep it up and good luck!
And this is good for a quick laugh,if the viewer is able to 'spot' the joke,so good work!
I know right. Some people didn't get the reference and I facepalm'd.
Yeah I like to think I'm learning with each animation. Do keep up, and keep reviewing.

Your focus is a little bit soft or your crop is too severe - I know I'm too critical - sorry.
What is the cloud of dust at the lower right-hand side of the photo caused by?
I'm trying to work out which base we're at in this photo. I'm assuming it's third base, the guy in orange has just been called safe and that you were shooting from somewhere behind the first base line. Can I also assume that the throw to third was from the catcher behind home plate? If not I'm confused a little by the position of the players. That probably says more about my lack of familiarity with shooting baseball.
To be even more critical - doubly sorry - I think the shot would have worked better if it had been taken just a little earlier, so that we could see the glove open (rather than closed and the hand angled downwards to trap the ball), and the batter/runner desperately trying to get to a safe position. This looks like it's just a little after the peak action that you might have covered.
Your colours are nice and bright and it's good that we can see the players' faces. It's a great capture of the batter/runner's face as he turns sideways too. I'd love to see some more of your baseball images and envy your chance to shoot it. The British league games always seem to clash with the British American football games I shoot, and are played in parks, with the resulting cluttered and messy backgrounds (cars, baby-buggies, ice-cream vans and 'Auntie Mabel' in her deckchair).

Three-quarters of schools and districts implementing mobile devices are doing so in specific grades or content areas rather than as part of 1:1 computing initiatives, according to a new survey from Mimio.
Although 78 percent of respondents told researchers they "anticipate that mobile devices will be useful tools for the Common Core assessments in the 2014-15 school year," most, 74 percent, reported that they use the devices for both instruction and assessment.
Other key findings of the survey include:
"This latest survey confirms that the use of mobile devices is not a fad," stated Manny Perez, president and chief operating officer, Mimio. "It's a real paradigm shift in the way educational technology supports learning. Right now, we're seeing that mobile devices are being used more as test phases or pilots for certain grades or content areas. However, according to 69 percent of respondents, over the next two years we should see mobile-device use expand across school grades and content areas."

"We expect more than 1,000 people to march," says Hedda Langemyr, the Norwegian Peace Council director. "[The EU] is not a worthy prize winner."
Heming Olaussen, leader of No to EU, stresses the protest is not a protest against EU membership, even though 3 out of 4 Norwegians currently oppose joining. Rather, it marks the organization's objection to the worthiness of the EU as a prize winner, citing the EU's current armament profile, the social and economic unrest amidst the growing youth unemployment in Greece and Spain, its aggressive trade policy toward poor developing countries in Latin America, and efforts to prevent African refuges from coming into "rich Europe."
"This is a provocation to the vast number of Norwegians," Mr. Olaussen told a meeting of international journalists. "We got 500 new members in two days after the [Peace Prize] announcement."
"I agree it would have been more logical at another point in time, but that does not preclude it from having it now," replies Janós Herman, EU ambassador to Norway. He cited the EU's record in gradually enlarging the "zone of peace," the large amount of resources it has provided in humanitarian aid around the world, its fight against climate change, and peace-keeping operations among the reasons why the EU deserves the prize.
"We don't think the economic crisis is the product of the EU," he adds. "We don't accept the copyright for that."

Fewer Foreclosures Month After Month, But Not State by State
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The government might be shut down, but the economy seems to be picking up plenty of steam.
One reliable benchmark is the rate of foreclosures, which shows just how much homeowners are struggling in the pocketbook.
These days, the foreclosure story is a happier one than at any point since the Great Recession started in late 2007.
According to RealtyTrac, foreclosure filings were down by 27% in September on a year-to-year basis, and it's the 36th consecutive month foreclosures were down on an annual basis.
Foreclosures are down on a quarterly basis, too. RealtyTrac says that third-quarter figures show the lowest level of foreclosure filings since the second quarter of 2006. States that saw the biggest rate of reduction in quarterly foreclosure closings were Colorado, down by 71%; Arizona, down 63%; and California, down 59%. Foreclosures were up in some states, including Maryland (up 259%!), Oregon (252%), New Jersey (53%) and New York (25%). Foreclosure reductions are all about a healthier housing market and a more robust economy. But longer processing times could also be slowing foreclosure activity. "The September and third-quarter foreclosure numbers show a housing market that is haltingly returning to health," says Daren Blomquist, vice president at RealtyTrac. "In a healthy housing market foreclosures are rare but streamlined while still protecting the rights of the homeowner. While foreclosures are clearly becoming fewer and farther between in most markets, the increasing time it takes to foreclose is holding back a more robust and sustainable recovery." The economy seems to be picking up at different levels state by state, and that could be why some aren't seeing big declines in trouble-laden mortgages. "The sharp jumps in foreclosure activity in some local markets may come as a surprise to some," Blomquist says. "These spikes in activity demonstrate that while millions of distressed homeowners have been pulled back from the precipice by foreclosure prevention programs over the past several years, once those programs expire or are exhausted, a percentage of these troubled homeowners are still susceptible to falling into foreclosure." "In addition, even slight economic downturns at the local or regional level canCheck Out Our Best Services for Investors

Mexico's punitive tariffs raise stakes on US trucking dispute
(Read article summary)Mexico says it will place tariffs on 90 US agricultural and industrial products valued at $2.4 billion.
MEXICO CITY – By slapping punitive tariffs on 90 products from the US, Mexico has followed up on threats to retaliate after the termination of a cross-border shipping program.
In doing so, Mexico is simultaneously raising the stakes in the decade-long dispute and creating a diplomatic stumbling block for President Obama's new administration.
"It is a violation of the North American Free Trade Agreement, a case of protectionism, at a time when the Obama administration is messaging to the rest of the world not to succumb to the temptations of protectionism as a way to trigger a recovery," said Armand Peschard-Sverdup, a Mexico expert with the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington.
"It's kind of mixed messaging," he said. "It's the equivalent of 'do as I say, not as I do.' "
In a statement released late Monday, Mexican Commerce Minister Gerardo Ruiz Mateos said the products – agricultural and industrial goods – come from 40 different US states and their total commercial value in 2007 was $2.4 billion. The products were not further identified in the statement.
The tariffs are allowed under NAFTA, since the US has not honored its requirement under the treaty to allow Mexican trucks to operate on US highways.

Titans to release or trade Vince Young
The news is so breaking there isn't a link yet :p
Titans: Vince Young will not be on roster next year
Tennessee Titans owner Bud Adams reluctantly closed the door on the Vince Young era on Wednesday when he announced the QB will not be on the team's roster next season.
Young, the third overall pick in 2006, spend five often-tumultuous years in Nashville that crested in November when he walked out of the team's locker room on coach Jeff Fisher.
The tension between Young and Fisher helped force Adams to make a decision on the once-rising QB.
http://i.usatoday.net/communitymanager/_photos/the-huddle/2011/01/05/vyx-inset-community.jpg (http://i.usatoday.net/communitymanager/_photos/the-huddle/2011/01/05/vyx-large.jpg)Vince Young
"Today, I informed our general manager Mike Reinfeldt to move forward with plans to begin the process of identifying the next quarterback for our franchise," Adams said.
"I want to offer my personal thanks to Vince for all of his positive contributions to the club. These kinds of decisions are never easy and this is especially true for this particular player. I certainly wish that things would have worked out better, but I think it is best for the franchise that we move on at this point."
Young will either be released or traded.
Adams did not clarify the status of Fisher, and said he is continuing to evaluate the status of his coaching staff. Fisher, the Titans' coach since 1994, is the NFL's longest-tenured head coach.
Adams, a Houston resident, was close to Young, a product of the Houston area, and had said in November that Fisher and Young would have to work out their differences. Adams sent out a Christmas card last month in which he was pictured with Young.
Young lost his job as the Titans' starter on Nov. 21 after he suffered a thumb injury. Fisher placed him on injured reserve the next day, but had said after the game -- when Young threw parts of his uniform into the crowd -- that the QB would not be his starter even if healthy. Young stormed out of the Titans' locker room after the game.
In 2009, Adams ordered Fisher to insert Young as the team's starter after the Titans lost their first six games.
In five years, Young had a 57.9% completion percentage with 8,098 passing yards, 42 TD passes, 42 INTs, 1,380 rushing yards and 12 rushing TDs.
He started 28 games in his first two seasons, but just 19 in his next three.
Bout time. I don't care HOW Valuable Skip Bayless thinks he is. There is NO excuse for his Bad team Character that he displays.
the question is , which team is desperate enough to take a chance on him ?
sanfran ...........7th pick in the draft
minnesota ......12 th
seattle .........21st
raiders ........no pick
arizona ...5th
Atlanta Dan
If you screw up a first round QB pick it will screw your franchise up for years - interesting how the 3 top QB prospects from that draft (Leinart, Cutler and Young) all were run off by the teams that drafted them (Cards, Broncos, Titans) although with the Broncos it was as much the crazy coach as the egomaniac QB
If you screw up a first round QB pick it will screw your franchise up - interesting how the 2 of the top QB prospects from that draft (Leinart and Young) both crashed
try to imagine us if we had drafted JP Losman instead of Big Ben. yikes

I wouldn't surprise me at all if VY is a Raider next year. In fact, nothing surprises me anymore.

would you be surprised if Al gave up a 2nd rd pick for him ? :chuckle:
how did you feel about shit canning cable ? i myself think it was a mistake.

It's the Raiders. lol. I would be surprised if they didn't get him.
good luck with trading him... somehow i just don't see teams lining up to trade for vince and his 12.75 mill price tag.
The quarterback is due a roster bonus of $4.25 million in March and an $8.5-million salary for 2011.
Adams also said in the statement that he informed Fisher he still is evaluating the coaching staff.

Yeah, I think it was a mistake. I knew it was coming, though. There were rumors that he and Al didn't see eye to eye. There were also rumors that he and Jackson had "words" on a few occasions, as well.
Even though Jackson hasn't officially been announced as the new coach, you can take it to the bank... he is the coach of the Raiders.
I didn't realize how easy it becomes to hate something you love so much. :shake01:
good luck with trading him... somehow i just don't see teams lining up to trade for vince and his 12.75 mill price tag.
He might not be a Raider for this very reason, not much cap room, but I wouldn't be surprised if Davis trades away a high paid player for Young to make an equal trade off.
NFL network said the best place he would fit in Miami. A mobile quarterback would benefit their type of offense the most. But I don't see Miami being that stupid.
when you trade for a player , you also get whats left of their contract right along with them. it doesn't matter if you trade draft picks, players, or a case of jock straps , the remainder of the contract is their baggage. if the player so chooses , they can renegotiate the contract and make it more cap friendly by extending it. the bottom line is whoever trades for young and has him on their roster by march 2nd , will owe him 12.75 mill.
why pay that since you already know he's going to be cut ? i doubt there will be much of a bidding war for his services , but i'm sure someone will give him a shot, but at a much lower price. young is a poster child for a heavily incentive based contract.
But the Titans don't want to pay that, NFL rules says if you release someone in the offseason and pay off their contract, you're paying their contract out of next seasons cap, so you lose cap space (and years on depending on the contract). But this was before the 2010 season and the chance of a 2011 lockout. The cap rules are weird this year, I'm not exactly sure how teams are handling anything, plus if there is a lockout next season, that really changes everything.
But if there isn't a lockout, and the rules still stand, Titans don't want to pay Young's contract out, so you'll be seeing them trying to sweeten the deal with a draft pick or 2. Maybe they'll trade up in the draft or just try to trade for a player to fit their system at the same position or another position.
If the Titans do end up having to pay out his contract, if he even chooses to come back to the NFL, he'll get another shot to be a quarterback somewhere. Someone is bound to think they can make him a better player on and off the field.
good luck with trading him... somehow i just don't see teams lining up to trade for vince and his 12.75 mill price tag.
hell with his salary. Its the huge Moss-like attitude, team detrimental persona that should make no one want him. If i had a team, any team, i wouldn't even look at him

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 5 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Leukemia and myeloproliferative disorders are serious and often deadly blood cancers. Research presented today at the 51st Annual Meeting of the American Society of Hematology introduces potential new treatment options and improved diagnostic methods for patients suffering from acute promyelocytic leukemia, chronic myeloid leukemia, infant acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and myelofibrosis that are based on a better understanding of the underlying genetic causes of these conditions.
"Researchers are committed to improving the survival of patients with blood cancers and other bone marrow disorders like myelofibrosis," said moderator of the press conference Richard A. Larson, MD, Professor of Medicine at the University of Chicago. "We hope that the results of these studies will help us develop safer and more effective treatments, especially in those hard-to-treat conditions where we currently do not have many options."
This press conference will take place on Saturday, December 5, at 8:30 a.m.
Improving the Treatment Outcome of Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia in Developing Countries Through International Cooperative Network. Report on the International Consortium on Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia Study Group [Abstract #6]
In developed countries, the standard treatment for acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), as recommended by evidence-based guidelines such as those of the EuropeanLeukemiaNET, is a combination of all-trans retinoic acid, a derivative of Vitamin A, and an anthracycline-based chemotherapy; this results in a five-year overall survival rate of approximately 90 percent. The morbidity and mortality of APL in patients in developing countries is significantly higher. Researchers from the International Consortium on Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia (IC-APL), an initiative of the American Society of Hematology, aimed to reduce this difference in surv

Pros:Its a lighter that looks like a gun. A very realistic looking (yet tiny) gun. I did have to top off the butane when I got it just so it would fire up, but it is working perfectly other than that tiny little insignificant problem.
I have yet to see any at all... It is exactly as one would think it to be.
First thing I noticed when it arrived was it wasnt that neat goldish color like it is in the pictures here on the site. It was in fact silver. I have no idea if all of them are silver, or if there are some gold ones mixed in here and there. But this makes no difference, gold or silver, this thing is cool.

What type of boiler do you have and does it have a filter fitted to the outlet?
I have a Burco 5gal modified with a filter which leaves all hops behind
The filter and the hops should strain as much of the hot break as a strainer and it'll get some of the cold break as well. I think you'll find most people cool directly in the boiler.
I cool in the boil kettle with an immersion chiller and then pour the 5.5 gallons through a large strainer directly into my plastic bucket fermenter. It strains out the hops & break and aerates at the same time. You should see the bubbles.
Cheers, EdWortHaus Pale Ale, Bavarian Hefeweizen, Robust Porter, Oktoberfest Ale, Wounded Knee IPA, Rye IPA, BCB IPA, Kolsch, Apfelwein
I do the same. I do not have a chiller of any sort so I revert to using the following method. I take the boil kettle and place it in an ice bath. I add 1 gallon (or the equivelent of water needed to make 5.5 gals of fermentable wort) of super cold water to my fermenter. I then take an 8" strainer and pour the semi cooled wort (cold enough to handle) into the strainer on top of the cold H2O into my fermenter. I can establish a nice bed of hops (if I use plugs or whole) and create a good strain to remove the protien etc. It also works if you don't use plugs or whole hops. The strainer will capture most of the hot break. What it doesn't will fall to the trub. I am able to get a pitchable wort in about 20 minutes, and have had no issues with haze or contamination (57 batches). I am in the process of going all grain. I am building a Herms tiered system so I won't have to do this anymore. But Since this has worked so well for me - I have to recommend this method as tried and true. Good luck! - WW
Ok, thanks for all replies, I will continue to cool in the boiler as I've done previously. I have a home made cooler, just small bore copper heating pipe wound round a former & some pipe fittings on each end, works a treat
I too cool in the kettle using a imersion chiller and with my water tempertures currently in my taps can get down to 50f in half an hour. I siphon from my kettle to my fermenter until I see break material getting into my siphon hose. I stop the siphoning then. I find this leaves much in my kettle and the last stout I made I stuck the auto siphon to the bottom and used the whole hops as a filter. Worked perfect.

When he was only a baby, Blu was dropped in the Chaos pool of Ether in the tempest flats. His parents wanted to make a sacrifice of him to the elements in hope to stop the destruction of their village. Unfortunately for them, it turned out their son absorbed the power of the elements while he was in limbo and came out a year later, as the most devastating storm that ever hit the realm. Eventually he would learn to control the power within him and use it for the greater good. When he was told that he killed his parents and all the village the moment he erupted, Blu wasn't shocked. "They deserved it" was his answer. Blu is a melee caster His attack, defense and power are balanced Hp : 500-2000 Mana : 300-900 Ad : 58-103 Passive : "Master of the Ether" Using ether, Blu combines the elements to his advantage. His abilities have bonus when used together. Q: Fireball (Cost : 25-50-75-100-125 Cool down: 10-9-8-7-6) Blu launches a Fireball at a location, dealing Aoe damage (50-100-150-200-250 + Bonus AD) Fireball deals double damage if it lands in Blu's Hurricane Fireball deals half damage if used while channeling healing waters Fireball's cool down is reset each time Blu uses his Earth Armor W: Healing waters (Cost : 50-60-70-80-90/second Cool down : 10) Blu channels a stream of water at an ally, healing health points/second (20-40-60-80-100 + AP) The channel is interrupted if Blu activates the ability again. Blu can move and cast spells while channeling without interrupting it. Using Fireball while channeling healing waters makes it deal half damage. Casting Earth Armor while channeling heals Blu for half the healing amount. Using healing waters on an ally inside Blu's Hurricane renders it invisible for 2 seconds. E: Earth armor (Cost : 90-70-50-30-10 No cool down) Blu gathers an armor of rocks around him, rendering him invulnerable for 1 second. Casting Earth armor resets Fireball's cool down Casting Earth armor while channeling healing waters will heal Blu for half the healing amount. Casting Earth armor inside Blu's Hurricane blinds nearby enemies for 1 second R: Hurricane (Cost : 100-200-300 Cool down 90-75-60) Blu uses all his might to create a powerful Hurricane in a wide circle around him, Increasing ally movement speed by (25-50-75%) and slowing enemy movement speed by (10-20-30%) for 5 seconds. Casting Fireball inside Blu's Hurricane doubles it's damage Casting healing waters to a target inside the hurricane renders it invisible for 2 seconds Casting Earth armor during the hurricane blinds nearby enemies for 1 second.
