Remember this?
The much ballyhooed moment in which Brian Burke 'put Bryan Murray in his place'. Here is something to think about: Bryan Murray definitely wanted to flip picks so that he could move up and select the player that he favored. Oddly enough, Burke immediately tells Murray that the Leafs were going to take Kadri without so much as listening to what the Senators had to offer. And for whatever reason, Murray walked away without putting up much of a fight or asking whether or not Burke wants to listen to the offer. In a profession in which GMs should be trying to maximize value whenever they can, doesn't that seem a little suspicious?
I think so.
When Burke tipped his hand and revealed that he was picking Kadri, if that was a player that Murray didn't want to pick, why would he tip his hand and reveal a different selection?
He wouldn't.
So here we are: the Senators wound up with Jared Cowen and the Leafs with Kadri. In Cowen, the Senators have a 6'5″ 240lb defenceman who can play a two-way game and in Kadri, the Leafs have a prospect who Ron Wilson is afraid to play at even strength.
In the words of a Hfboards user, "I fell in love with Cowen as soon as he started pounding on that caveman."
Zenon Konopka's bread and butter is supposed to be his faceoff prowess. When he only wins 7 of 15 in the faceoff circle (.467%) and fails to contribute anything with his fists, he becomes a non-factor in a game comprised mostly of teenagers.
It's worth mentioning that he wasn't alone in that regard. Many of Ottawa's other 'pugilists' failed to impress. Considering that the better part of yesterday afternoon lent itself to instant micro-analysis from those on Twitter who looked at the lineups and deduced that fans should expect some physical play, last night's game was a bit of a let down.
"MacLean confirmed Auld will play 30 and Lehner will play 30. Mark Parrish won't play. Konokpa, Lessard and Neil will dress. Assume fights." ~ Bruce Garrioch
"With the grit we have in the line up tonight, it's a shame we couldn't see Carkner in there too!
#sens20 #baystreetbeatdown" ~ RSU
"Plenty of toughness in the
#Sens line up. Smith, Konopka, Neil and Lessard will dress. Expect a physical start to the Battle of Ontario." ~ Sens Chirp
… Or not.
The Sens Town versus Mike McKenna spat on Twitter traded more punches than Ottawa's reputed tough guys, so it begs the question: what was the point in dressing a lineup like that if no one's going to fight?
Their presence in the lineup obviously did nothing to deter the Leafs from taking runs at players. Hell, Francis Lessard must have slept through the team's pre-game meeting since he regretfully took out all of his aggressions at this morning's practice with a blindside hit on Nikita Filatov.
I suppose some of this could be Paul MacLean's fault. He should have instinctively told Lessard not to take his '200 feet' comments too literally and make use of his fists instead. At the very least, he could have mentioned that any hits during this morning's scrimmage wouldn't have added to lat night's lacklustre totals.
Almost 30 minutes of ice-time in a meaningless game for Erik Karlsson?
That's almost a John Paddock-like reliance upon his best players. Albeit, it's a relatively small sample size but I suppose it's a reflection of how that 10 minute misconduct affected MacLean's dispersal of ice-time. And despite it being a preseason hockey game, perhaps there's no more damning quantitative evidence to evaluate how close Patrick Wiercioch is to contributing at the NHL level.
To his credit, Karlsson killed it last night. Not only did he fight off an aggressive forecheck and control the play when the puck was on his stick, he helped carry Filip Kuba through 24 minutes of play last night.
If these two continue to be partnered together, it's going to be a great test for Karlsson to help salvage whatever trade value Kuba has left. I hope the young blueliner is up to the task.
It looks like the careers of Peter Regin and Nikita Filatov have a pulse. Suck it Columbus.

Father Time wears on the faces of all people, especially those who challenge him on the amateur boxing circuit. Undo the uppercuts of age with this Groupon.
Choose from Three Options
- $99 for one microcurrent treatment with elastin infusion for the face and neck or the arms and hands (a $269 value)
- $279 for three microcurrent treatments with elastin infusions for the face and neck or the arms and hands (an $807 value)
- $399 for five microcurrent treatments with elastin infusions for the face and neck or the arms and hands (a $1,345 value)
Technicians saturate the skin with microcurrents calibrated to mimic the body's own electrical signals. The currents stimulate the cellular process, which tones muscles and coaxes cells into producing more collagen and elastin. The elastin infusion supplies skin with an extra dose of proteins that make skin taut and springy.

Led by Leslie Jetton Tullos, 1994's Miss Mississippi USA, Beautiful Image of Jackson's skilled technicians help clients to maintain a youthful look with fusions of microcurrent technology and elastin therapy, free of the pain associated with surgery or injections. Treatments infuse the skin with gentle microcurrents—set to a level similar to the body's natural electrical current to keep from tripping cellular fuse-boxes—that work to improve circulation, hydrate skin, and draw an elastin-boosting serum to the deepest layers of the epidermis.
Each session helps to lift and tone muscles and aid in the reduction of fat, cellulite, and stretch marks. Unencumbered by any downtime, patients bound back home or to the office without any redness, ready to flaunt amplified loveliness in their next snapshots or family daguerreotypes.

From the World Heritage inscription:
Trier is an example of a large Roman capital after the division of the empire. The remains of the Imperial Palace, in addition to the Aula Palatina and the Imperial Thermae, are impressive in their dimensions. The city bears exceptional testimony to Roman civilization owing to the density and the quality of the monuments preserved: the bridge, the remains of the fortified wall, thermae, amphitheatre, storehouses, etc. In particular, funerary art and the craftsmanship of potters, glassworkers, and moneyers flourished in the city.
Sometimes referred to as the 'second Rome', Trier had no claim to this title until the division of the empire by Diocletian in 286 and the institution of the Tetrarchy seven years later. However, even before this era, the Roman city was flourishing. The original centre of the colonial town, the regular insulae, for the most part built during the reign of Claudius (41-54), had extended so much by the mid-2nd century that a wall was built, enclosing the industrial quarters and the nearest thermae (baths) to the south, the amphitheatre, which extended beyond the decumanus maximus to the east, and, most likely, a hippodrome. At the same time, a sandstone and basalt bridge was built over the Moselle, extending westward from the decumanus, which replaced an earlier construction, the foundations of which have been found.
It was in Trier that in 326 Constantine founded the twin basilicas to commemorate his twenty years of power; they live on in the form of the Cathedral and the Church of Our Lady. After the death of the great emperor in 337, Trier was the place of residence of his son, Constantine II, and afterward of Valentinian and Gratian. As well as being the capital of the Empire, Trier was additionally the location of the Prefecture of Gaul, an immense administrative district which stretched from the limes germanicus to the Atlantic and from Hadrian's Wall to Tingitana in Mauritania.
Trier is amazing. I had no idea of the rich history of the city, which is the oldest in all of Germany.
Just to give you an idea of what can be found in Trier:
- It is the oldest city is Germany.
- St. Peter's Cathedral (shown left) is the oldest church in Germany and one of the oldest in all of Europe.
- St. Mary's is the oldest gothic church in Germany (shown right).
- It was the seat of several Roman emperors including Constantine.
- It has the best intact gate of a roman city wall, the Ponta Negra.
- There are ruins of several roman baths in the city.
- The pillars of a roman bridge are still in use supporting modern bridges.
- It was the birthplace of Karl Marx (which draws thousands of Chinese tourists).
Trier used to be one of the most important cities in the western world, a fact which escapes most people. It is similar to what I saw in Tarragona, Spain but probably even more significant because it was also an imperial city.
If you have an even remote interest in roman history, archeology or architecture, Trier should be on your list of places to visit. It is close to the borders of both Luxembourg and France and is easily accessible.

Paris, Ile de France, France, 2013/06/07 - On June 7, in Tokyo, Luc Oursel, President and CEO of AREVA, signed a series of key agreements with JNFL (Japan Nuclear Fuel Ltd) and ATOX for the continuation and development of the strategic Franco-Japanese partnership in civil nuclear power - AREVA.com.
In the presence of Japanses Prime Minister Shenzo Abe and French President François Hollande in Tokyo, Yoshihiko Kawai, President of JNFL, and Luc Oursel signed a joint statement of cooperation to prepare for the commercial startup of the used fuel recycling plant at Rokkasho-Mura (Japan).
AREVA and JNFL plan to expand their collaboration for the used fuel processing facilities on the Rokkasho-Mura site, particularly within the field of complementary safety assessments.
AREVA will also contribute its technical expertise to the ongoing construction of a Japanese MOX fuel fabrication plant, whose technology is based on AREVAs MELOX plant in France.
Toshikazu Yaguchi, President of ATOX, and Luc Oursel signed a cooperation agreement for dismantling and cleanup operations. This will enable the two companies to strengthen their partnership initiated more than two years ago.
In the context of a future joint venture, this cooperation persues the common development of innovative solutions primarily destined for the rehabilitation of the Fukushima site and region.
Luc Oursel, President and CEO of AREVA, stated: These agreements strengthen the historic links between AREVA and the Japanese nuclear industry and confirm their recognition of our expertise in the field of nuclear safety.
Present in Japan for more than 40 years, AREVA recently signed an agreement with Hitachi-GE Nuclear Energy, Ltd. with the aim of improving the safety of nuclear power plants through the installation of filtered containment venting systems (FCVS) in boiling water reactors in Japan.

New Sony Walkmans Won't Break Your Bank
Sony on Thursday unleashed three new "series" of Walkman MP3 players the S, E, and B-series that provide both cheapskates and audio lovers with something to like.
Within each Walkman series there are different capacities, colors, and price-points. The S-series is the high-end Walkman line, with noise cancellation, "SensMe"--a feature that creates channels by dividing your music up by genre and tempo, and a 2-inch LCD screen. Available in 4GB and 8GB capacities, the S-series will go for approximately $150 and $180, respectively.
The E-series comes in 4 and 8 GB models, as well, for $100 and $140, and will have video capabilities and, like the S-series, generous audio codec support (WMA, protected WMA, AAC, MP3, linear PCM) as well as laudable video support, including WMV with DRM, AVC (H.264/AVC) Baseline Profile and MPEG-4.
The B-series appears to be the budget Walkman, coming in 1GB and 2GB capacities for $45 and $60, respectively.
Sony claims the battery life for the E-series is a whopping 45 hours for audio playback and 10 hours for video playback. The S-series has 30 hours of audio playback and 8 hours of video playback per charge. No battery information was available for the B-series.
The new Walkman models will hit stores, in a variety of dazzling colors, in September, but you can pre-order from Sony now.

I'd appreciate any further comments/suggestions. Compared to the original .r and .py files, in these revised version: -The R code was cleaned up because I realized I didn't need to use as.factor if I made the relevant variables into factors -The python code was cleaned up by computing the 'sub-design matrices' associated with each factor variable before hand and stashing them in a dictionary -Names were added to the variables in the regression by creating them from the calls to sm.categorical and stashing them in a dictionary Notably, the helper fucntions and stashing of the pieces of design matrices simplified the calls for model fitting, but they didn't noticeably shorten the code. They also required a small increase in complexity. (In terms of the data structures and function calls used to create the list of names and the design matrices.) I also added some comments to the effect that: *one can use paste or cpaste in the IPython shell *np.set_printoptions or sm.iolib.SimpleTable can be used to help with printing of numpy arrays *names can be added by the user to regression model summaries *one can make helper functions to construct design matrices and keep track of names, but the simplest way of doing it isn't robust to subset-ing the data in the presence of categorical variables Did I miss anything? -Chris JS On Sat, Aug 27, 2011 at 1:19 PM, Christopher Jordan-Squire <email@example.com> wrote: > Hi--I've been a moderately heavy R user for the past two years, so > about a month ago I took an (abbreviated) version of a simple data > analysis I did in R and tried to rewrite as much of it as possible, > line by line, into python using numpy and statsmodels.

text: I compiled cdrdao for Mac OS X. This can burn bin/cue files very easily. The only cue/bin pair which haven't worked for me thus far had spaces and hyphens in the filename. Changing the filename and editing the cue file to reflect that solved the problem. You can download my binary from here: http://homepage.mac.com/anarkhos/.Pictures/cdrdao.tgz The command is used thusly: Insert a blank CD, tell the finder to ignore the CD and continue. type: sudo ./cdrdao write -device IOCompactDiscServices blah.cue If run as root cdrdao will use high priority threads to avoid underruns. If you have a DVD burner you would use "IODVDServices" instead. If your CD-R isn't known (like mine wasn't) you can select a specific driver. For example this is in my .tcshrc file: alias cue sudo /Users/anarkhos/cdr/cdrdao write --device IOCompactDiscServices --driver generic-mmc thus to burn anything I just type "cue blah.cue"

Howdy, everyone. I'm on a pretty productive streak here - had good, long conversations with Caroline Wozniacki and Andre Agassi yesterday and today (Caroline had just come in from jet-skiing when we spoke; she admitted that she was afraid to go too fast). Not sure exactly what direction we'll take (magazine or website), but I'll keep you posted and in any event I won't be doing anything with the material for at least three days. I'm off and gone into the woods in Pennsylvania tomorrow and Thursday.
Also, we'll have a podcast posted by tomorrow (I hope)on the Tennis.com home page, in which James Martin, Steve Tignor, and I talk about the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals and the upcoming Davis Cup final.
I made the same point in the podcast that I'm going to make here - this WTF was a perfect demonstration of the difference between round-robin events (of any kind, but especially significant ones) and single-elimination tournament tennis. Nikolay Davydenko did well to win the whole shooting match in London, and the way he did it highlights both the shortcomings and strengths of the RR system.
The main shortcoming, as I see it, is that any number of players have a dizzying variety of ways to remain alive in the event (just look at Juan Martin del Potro, and where he ended up after what could only be called a sluggish start), and that's a great playing-field leveler. The sheer uncertainty of the first few rounds allows everyone to just go out and play, unsure of where the chips may fall. That's both a balm for the nervous mind - and an somewhat suspect method of doing business for the calm one. Round Robin is like playing the stock market; you calculate the odds, pick your spots, make your calls and know you'll live to gamble on another day.
Or let me put it more directly; in a single elimination format, every match is theoretically your last match. That creates a sense of urgency - and pressure - each time you set foot on a court. Without that do-or-die element, anything can happen. And, as we just saw, it did. In a field loaded with talent, Davydenko emerged the winner.
Davydenko earned his win; no doubt about it. You can't expect him to meet or play to a different set of standards than those that apply under the circumstances. But let's remember that earlier this year, Dinara Safina was ranked no. 1, and had by definition earned and deserved the status, yet. . .
There's a reason Davydenko hasn't won a major because that's a different beast; this win just helps shed light on the fundamental and, IMO, surprisingly big difference between round-robin events and majors. I'll be happy to re-visit my thinking after Nikolay bags his major, especially if he has to beat two or three players of the caliber he faced in London, but in a single-elimination event.
Of course, you can say on Davydenko's behalf that he beat Roger Federer and del Potro in back to back, single-elimination matches, for (arguably) the fifth most significant title on the world tour. And del Potro's post-match endorsement of Davydenko was certainly impressive - and kind. He said, "This tournament has a great champion, like Nikolay. He worked hard to beat every player here this week. So maybe I have to improve a little bit the little things. But he played much better than me, and that's it. He played unbelievable tennis. He beat me in a good way."
I like that: He beat me in a good way. . .
So this bring me back around to my original point. You can't take anything away from Davydenko, an opportunistic player who saw his opening and took it. And remember, for a guy whose endorsement income is modest (he doesn't even have a racket contract with Prince, despite his gushing over the product - remember the "magic racket" he used to win Miami a few years back?) that potential payoff of $1.5 million was certainly good incentive. But most of all, Davydenko's triumph in London is a tribute to - or criticism of - the round-robin system, and the Wheel of Fortune nature of the format.
True tennis fans love the fact that tennis is all about what you, an individual, does on any given day. In round-robin play, that certainly counts - but so does what everyone else does, on any given day. And that's a substantial difference. If player A (Rafael Nadal) fails to perform in a single-elimination tournament, it has no effect whatsoever on player B's chance to advance. But in round robin, it can significantly boost - or ruin - Player B's chances. We saw this week how the curiously tribal enterprise of round robin can produce unexpected results, and what could have been more unexpected, given the way the year has gone, than Davydenko emerging as the winner of the year's final shoot-out?
Three guys had an enormous amount to gain from winning the WTF - Davydenko, Robin Soderling, and Fernando Verdasco. The other five, Federer, Nadal, del Potro, Novak Djokovic and Murray (I include Andy Murray because he seems to feel he belongs in this company, and is treated as part of this company, even though he has yet to win his first major) had less incentive to make the final push in London. Those hard to quantify motivation issues certainly helped Davydenko navigate the forest of set scores and group standings to arrive at his finest moment.
Like Davydenko said, afterward "I was [looking at the trophy], until 2008, [there are] so many names there, like Djokovic, Federer, everyone, [Pete] Sampras. In 2009, [it says] Davydenko forever on this trophy. I think it's amazing. [In the] history of the [Finals], for my name to be there is something amazing for me."
Well done, Nikolay. Your only job is to win, in a system not of your making. You can hold your head high and, who knows, maybe come away with the self-assurance needed to win a major in 2010.
PS - I'll have a special WTA feature from Bobby Chintapalli tomorrow, and Rosangel will post another WTF picture gallery on Thursday. See y'all Friday.

Iris Hill Austin, 86, of Lebanon, S.C., died June 7, 2006, in a Summerville hospital.
The funeral was held in the Chapel of Dial-Murray Funeral Home, Moncks Corner.
Mrs. Jane M. AYERS was born
March 20, 1842, and died in peace March 14th, 1883. She was the daughter of
Solomon K. and Catharine Jones, of Orangeburg District, S. C. Her first
marriage was to Frederick Shuler, in 1860; her second, to Dr. E. N. Ayers,
in 1865. Sister Ayers joined the Methodist Church and professed conversion in
early life, and has since exemplified, in her walk and conversation, the doctrine
of Christ, her Savior. It has been my privilege to be acquainted with Dr. Ayers
and his excellent family for several years, having had them twice under my
pastoral care, and it is to me a mournful pleasure to bear testimony to the
consistent Christian character of our deceased sister. For her death had no
terrors. With calmness and Christian fortitude she bore her protracted illness
to the last, saying frequently that she did not expect to live longer. Our sister
has died, but thank God, 'she died well' ('quoted' phrase in italics). Her remains
repose at Bethlehem Church, Edisto circuit. May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ
sustain the bereaved husband and children whom she has left behind. G. H. POOSER.

Dr. Elvin N. AYERS was born
January 26, 1826, and died at his home in Berkeley County, S. C., June 8, 1891.
He was a member of the Methodist Church many years. He was a man of steady
habits, a good citizen, a devoted husband and father. His last illness was
very short, only about thirty minutes. When he felt the attack, he called
his family, told them he had an attack of heart disease, prayed with them,
and died in a few minutes. He leaves a wife and seven children to mourn their loss."

My baby is almost 5 weeks now and I got the go ahead from my doctor to resume sexual activity. I am currently waiting for all my tests to come back so I can get an IUD, so for the meantime he gave me an oral contraceptive. I am still on week one so we've been using a combination of condoms and spermicide. Today during the middle of our session the condom came off inside me. We immediately tossed that one and used a different one for the remainder. I am just worried because someone had told me that you are more fertile after having a baby. But he hadn't ejaculated yet and we were also using the spermicide. So, how worried should I be? Thanks

NEWARK, N.J. (Sep. 19)
The Jewish community of Essex County, which includes Newark and this city's environs, will celebrate this year the hundredth anniversary of organized Jewish philanthropy in this area, it was announced here today by Martin Jelin, president of the Jewish Community Council, and Abner Benisch, president of the Jewish Counseling and Service Agency.
A special centenary committee to plan the celebration has been named by the two agencies, with Herbert J. Hannoch, local attorney and communal leader, as chairman. Mr. Hannoch is a descendant of one of the German Jewish immigrants here who, in 1861, formed the Hebrew Orphan Asylum and Benevolent Society. The society was this country's predecessor of the modern, Jewish communal organizations of today.
Mr. Hannoch has been active in Jewish community affairs here for many years. He was a member of the board of the Jewish Community Council, president of the Jewish Children's Home and first president of the Jewish Child Care Association.

Facebook, Wings and Tropicana Field – Levack Rant [AUDIO]
Today's Couch was kind of therapy for me. Yesterday I found myself angry about three main issues. First there is a right way and several wrong ways to cook. If you say you're known for something you better do it the right way. Second Facebook keeps "tinkering" with it's set up and it's driving me nuts. If you check my status and the number of "likes" it got you'll see I'm not alone.
Finally how many games have to be ruined by the worst stadium in all of sports before they shut down Tropicana Field?

Gardens mugger targets off-duty policeman
A gun-toting thug picked the wrong couple to pull a pistol on at the Hamilton Gardens yesterday.
Instead of pocketing one or two wallets from frightened tourists, the 19-year-old found himself disarmed and pinned against the tarseal.
The attempted mugging is the latest in a string of incidents in or near the city's prime tourist attraction, casting further doubt on the area's safety.
Chartwell man Ian Morgan, 69, witnessed the incident and stepped in to help.
He runs a sober driving service and was waiting to pick up clients near the gate one barrier about 1am when he saw a couple walk past.
They had been at a charity auction to help send police dog handler and armed offenders squad member Blair Spalding to Germany for specialist neurosurgery to remove a brain tumour.
Morgan noticed another figure on the couple's tail.
The situation escalated at the road barrier when the balaclava-clad man pulled out a gun, Morgan said.
"Some discussion went on and next minute I see the man push the gun away and slam the guy on the ground. The guy made a bit of a mistake because the man he confronted was an off-duty policeman.
"The policeman had him on the ground, and I went along and helped to restrain him. When we realised there was a gun involved, we weren't that keen on letting him up again."
The offender remained pinned to the road until police arrived and arrested him.
The officer is based in Hamilton but is now on holiday.
Morgan was "amazed" and full of praise for the officer's actions.
"I can't speak highly enough of it.
"It's a pretty brave thing to confront a guy who has a gun on him."
Morgan suspected the pistol was a replica but said that when it was pointed at you in the early morning darkness "it's real".
"There's a quote that says the only thing required for evil to succeed is for good men to do nothing - so you can't just sit back.
"If it had been somebody who didn't stand up for themselves, it may well have been a totally different scenario."
It's the latest in a string of similar incidents in the area.
Last Monday, a 60-year-old Chinese tourist was attacked at knifepoint on the edge of the Hamilton Gardens.
The knife-wielding man cut the woman's shirt before severing her money belt and fleeing along the riverbank walkway with an accomplice.
The daylight attack followed another incident near the Waikato River the previous Monday when a woman was approached by a man demanding money but he ran off when she refused his demands.
Hamilton Mayor Julie Hardaker said she had discussed the issue of safety on the city's river walks with police, who were taking action to address it.
On a more positive note, there was a success story linked to the would-be-mugger's arrest with Spalding's charity auction raising $70,000 towards the $150,000 needed for his surgery.

ECC @ SubZERO Festival in San Jose
Thursday, 04 June 2009 06:20
After such a lovely trip south to San Mateo for the Maker Faire last weekend, how can we not sample what other treasures the south bay holds?
Set sail for SubZERO!
San Jose's SoFA district will host the SubZERO Festival, a "diy, artistically bent, hi/lo-techno-mashup" (ECC will handle the "hi" part, thank you). Over 100 artists will represent, including Author&Punisher (which we posted a video of) with whom we'll share the William Street stage. You are cordially invited to spin the booty-shaking Wheel Of Mashup and witness the head-turning VidiMasher 3000 for the first time in San Jose! And if all the attention we got at Maker Faire and elsewhere is any indication, it'll be the just the thing for The ECC to make a good first impression.
There's plenty more representing -- even other Wii-hacking artists like us -- so check the Street Guide and make a night of it!
WHAT: SubZERO Festival

T'is the season to be geeky
Fa-la-la-la-laaa la D I Y...
Yes it's that time of year again... spring is in the air... probably fired from some crazy spring-shooting canon. And that kind of thing would perfectly embody the aesthetic of Make Magazine's Maker Faire, a juggernaut of an annual event blazing a path somewhere between Burning Man and a really, really cool science fair. And this year the attendance will likely exceed both -- even Burning Man has never cracked 50,000, and Maker Faire is expecting 65,000+.
65,000+ geeks.
Geeks, nerds, mad scientists -- when you're one of them (and I am) those words are compliments. Make Magazine has unified that whole motley DIY crew under the flag of "makers", and the Maker Faire is your chance to watch them emerge from basements everywhere with new inventions, and in spite of the duct tape and zip ties holding it together, one of them might completely revolutionize the world of energy... or computing... or music, or light, or textiles, or... getting the point? The Faire is packed with a huge variety of the greatest, weirdest tinkerings from every hue of the smarty-pants spectrum.
And The ECC has been part of it from the beginning, the literal poster boy showing off our Thimbletron to thousands. Now we get the pleasure of debuting our VidiMasher 3000 before the geekerati, and if our fantastically fun shows from this year are any indication, this should be a show that should NOT be missed!
WHAT: The ECC's Wheel Of Mashup & VidiMasher 3000 at Make Magazine's Maker Faire
WHEN: Saturday and Sunday, 30 & 31 May 2009 / ECC: 7pm Saturday on the West Stage
WHERE: San Mateo County Expo Center (i.e., Fairgrounds)
HOW MUCH: Day pass $25 / student etc. discounts available

Deaf rave held for Liverpool International Music Festival
A deaf rave where the bass is turned up high is taking place in Liverpool as part of a major music event.
The event has been organised by disabled and deaf arts festival DaDaFest for the Liverpool International Music Festival.
Deaf raves feature bass turned up very loud so the music can be felt through the body.
Hearing people are advised by the organisers to bring earplugs.
Among the performers on Friday night are DJ Troi 'Chinaman' Lee, who plays a mix of hip hop, R&B, reggae, dance and electro swing.
He said: "Deaf Raves aim to bring deaf people together as one, it a joy to see all different deaf communities unite and have fun.
"We express visually and we love feeling the vibrations and vibes of the people."
He said when he was growing up there was "a lack of opportunities for deaf people going out to socialise."
The DJ said he can hear the music with his hearing aid and can tell if its R&B, jazz, soul or techno.
Other performers will be MC Geezer, who signs to the songs, and DJ Inigo.
Ann Wade, executive director of DaDaFest, said "We're pleased to be bringing a deaf rave to the city as part of Liverpool International Music Festival.
"It should be a great party and celebration of deaf culture."

RAID 1 vs RAID 5: What are the pros and cons?
RAID 1 vs RAID 5: What are the pros and cons of the mirrored disk sets of RAID 1 and the parity disk protection of RAID 5?
This Article Covers
Disk systems
RAID 1 vs RAID 5 is mostly a question of what's more important to you in terms of performance and cost.
RAID 1 is a mirrored pair of disk drives. When a write is carried out to the mirrored pair of drives the data is written to both disks simultaneously. When a read is carried out the data is taken from one of the two drives. A RAID 1 drive pair can therefore handle twice the amount of reads than a standalone disk drive, and is why RAID 1 has been the RAID level of choice for high-end applications.
How to soar your storage performances?
The latest PCIe and NVMe technologies offer huge performance gains. Discover their features in this expert guide
Due to the larger data capacities required by modern environments, RAID 10 is now the most prevalent among the RAID technologies for high-end applications, combining the mirroring of RAID 1 with the striping of RAID 0.
The main drawback of RAID 1 (and for that matter RAID 10) is that for the required disk space, the RAID overhead will double the amount of capacity you actually have to purchase. For example, if you needed to store 300GB of data you would have to purchase 600GB of capacity.
With RAID 5 -- assuming again that you buy five disks -- four-fifths of the capacity you buy is usable because the data is shared across four of the drives while one of the disks in the array acts as a parity disk which knows where all that data is located. If a disk fails the array can work out what is supposed to be on the volume by checking against the parity disk. In the past there was an issue with speed, but disks today are pretty quick. Normally a RAID 5 array would not be considered for a high read/write environment, as every transaction has to also write to the parity disk, which creates a bottleneck.
RAID 5 volumes do take a while to rebuild, so that is another sacrifice you have to make when you choose this type of RAID level. You can also put an OS on a RAID 5 array but there will be a performance issue to contend with which is simply not worth it. Again, dividing a RAID slice into multiple partitions could be possible, but I would not recommend it.

Former Minnesota Senate Communications Director Michael Brodkorb has hired the legal firm of Villaume & Schiek. Even though he has yet to file a lawsuit, the firm says it will serve as co-counsel with attorney Greg Walsh.
Philip Villaume, who is an expert in employment law, told MPR News today that Brodkorb is reviewing his legal options regarding his dismissal.
Brodkorb was fired a few hours after it was revealed that former Senate Majority Leader Amy Koch had an "inappropriate relationship" with a male staffer. Koch resigned her position as majority leader one day before the allegations surfaced. The identity of the staffer has not been disclosed. Walsh said "no comment" when asked if Brodkorb was the staffer in question.
Villaume said Brodkorb will not be filing a lawsuit against Koch but may sue the Minnesota Senate and the State of Minnesota.
"We're in the process of looking at the option of litigation but we'd like to mediate the matter before we litigate it," Villaume said. He also said Dayle Nolan with the law firm of Larkin Hoffman is representing the Minnesota Senate as outside counsel in the matter.
Cal Ludeman, who serves as the Secretary of the Minnesota Senate,was unavailable to comment on the hiring of outside counsel and how much it's costing the state. Senate Republican Caucus spokesman Steve Sviggum said he didn't know about the hiring of the firm but would look into it.
Cal Ludeman, who serves as Secretary of the Minnesota Senate, confirmed to MPR News that he hired Nolan to represent the Senate. He said he has the authority to hire outside counsel in his role as Secretary of the Senate. Citing attorney/client privilege, Ludeman said he didn't have to provide a copy of the contract. But he said he would have to detail any public money that is spent on the attorney.
"We're not to the point of receiving any invoice or any billing about that," Ludeman said. "When we do we'll be telling the leadership of the State Senate and the rest of the world what those costs are."
Ludeman also responded no when asked whether they would pursue mediation regarding Brodkorb's dismissal. He said they're still trying to figure out what, if any, legal action Brodkorb will take.
"We don't even know what this is about," Ludeman said.
Ludeman told MPR News last month (and again today) that the Senate dismissed Brodkorb because he was an "at-will" employee who worked for Sen. Koch. He said the will was no longer there to keep Brodkorb on staff when Koch stepped down. "At-will" means employees can be fired at any time, without warning for nearly any reason.
Here's the release from Villaume's firm:
(Bloomington, MN) – Today, the law firm of Villaume & Schiek, P.A. announced they have been retained by Mr. Michael B. Brodkorb to serve as co-counsel in representing Mr. Brodkorb in potential legal action related to his employment at the Minnesota Senate. Attorneys with Villaume & Schiek, P.A. will work with Gregory Walsh with the law firm of Walsh & Gaertner, P.A., as was previously announced.
"As stated by Mr. Walsh, we've been ascertaining details surrounding events leading up to and immediately following Mr. Brodkorb's departure from the Minnesota Senate and our client has been reviewing his legal options," said Mr. Villaume.
"If the decision were made to purse legal action against the Minnesota Senate, former Senate Majority Leader Amy Koch would not be the defendant of any litigation. Our firms look forward to working with counsel recently retained by the Minnesota Senate to resolve any legal issues related to Mr. Brodkorb's employment with minimal disruption to the current legislative session," concluded Mr. Villaume.

"Your thoughts on this so-called license to kill?" Smiley asked West.
"The chickens are coming home to roost," West replied. "We've been talking about this for a good while, the immorality of drones, dropping bombs on innocent people, it's been over 200 children so far. These are war crimes."
"I think we have to be very honest, let us not be deceived — Nixon, Bush, Obama, they're war criminals," West continued. "They have killed innocent people in the name of the struggle for freedom, but they're suspending the law, very much like Wall Street criminals.

Man jailed for four years for fraud in Guernsey
A man who laundered £210,460 through Guernsey bank accounts has been jailed for four years.
Martins Apskalns, 27, from Latvia, was jailed at Guernsey's Royal Court for fraud and conspiring to launder money.
A Guernsey Border Agency spokesman said Apskalns was a primary suspect in a money laundering investigation.
Judge Russel Finch said the four years for laundering and four years for 14 counts of fraud should run concurrently.
The Border Agency spokesman said Apskalns was responsible for laundering the £210,460 through Guernsey accounts in a scheme which centred on a Latvian syndicate involved in crime in Guernsey between 2010 and 2012 and elsewhere, involving the fraudulent use of credit cards to buy flights and credit for mobile phones.
'First case heard'
A cash payment would then change hands and then be deposited in a Guernsey bank account.
The judge said it was the first time such a case had been heard in Guernsey.
He said Apskalns had a "blasé" attitude and the court felt he was a reoffending risk.
Guernsey Border Agency said during an interview Apskalns claimed he passed 80% of the proceeds to another Latvian associate and kept 20% as his personal gain.

Although the Saints jumped to a 17-0 lead, they trailed in the final minutes and needed a heroic fumble recovery by safety Malcolm Jenkins, a beautiful 55-yard pitch-and-catch from Drew Brees to Robert Meachem and a 12-yard touchdown pass from Brees to Lance Moore to bring them back.
In an emotional postgame locker room, it was not lost on anyone that they were celebrating in the same place that will host the Big Game a little more than two months from now.
"Yeah man, we understand where we're at, and the places we want to be," Saints safety Roman Harper said. "We definitely don't want to be a one-and-done team. We want to stack some wins together, and we want to get back here."
Although an easy victory might have been easier on their hearts, the dramatics and theatrics might have a more lasting impact for these Saints (8-3), who started slowly this season before rolling to their current four-game win streak.
Brees said when the Saints looked back on their historic Super Bowl run last season, it was the thrilling, come-from-behind wins at Miami and Washington that stood out more than the routine romps.
"Those are the ones you remember," Brees said, "because it takes some intestinal fortitude to stay calm and believe and have faith that, 'When my number's called, I have to come up with a play.'
"And that's what we did. Malcolm made a huge play. And then Marques (Colston) makes a big catch, then Robert, then Lance. Can you spread it around any more?"
Brees wasn't bad himself, completing 23 of 39 passes for 352 yards, a touchdown and an interception. Receiver Devery Henderson and tailback Chris Ivory made some big plays early, as did defensive end Will Smith.
And kicker Garrett Hartley bounced back with his best performance of the season, making field goals of 50, 45 and 28 yards early.
But while there was no shortage of heroes for the Saints, it's obvious who would have been the goat if they had lost the game -- tailback Reggie Bush, who had a nightmare performance after returning from a 10-week absence with a broken fibula.

'American Horror Story' season 3 begins filming in New Orleans this summer
According to star Frances Conroy, American Horror Story will begin filming season 3 in New Orleans this summer.
The actress, who played the angel of death in American Horror Story: Asylum and appeared as maid Moira O'Hara in season one, recently confirmed production is gearing up for season 3 and she will be a part of it.
"It's going to start up again in July or August in New Orleans, I'll be part that and will have a fairly substantial part in it," Conroy said. "I'll be in 10 of the episodes of what I think will be a 13-part season."
The actress added, "I'm waiting to see what's written to see who I'll be playing. I haven't seen any scripts yet, so all I know is that it's going to be in New Orleans and who will be involved. Beyond that, it's a matter of waiting for the wonderful writers to create the next world for us to inhabit."
In addition to Conroy, AHS season 3 will also bring back Jessica Lange, Lily Rabe, Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Taissa Farmiga, and new addition Kathy Bates.
American Horror Story executive producer Ryan Murphy has been tight-lipped about the third season, but he did say, "I sorta feel like for the third version I want to do something that's a little bit more 'evil glamour' ... We're contemplating shooting [Season 3] in a place in the country where true horror has been. We've got lots of delicious plans."
We can't wait to see those plans come to fruition.

I am so glad that it is going to take place in New Orleans. I am so excited!!! I wanted this show to do a season in New Orleans, so now I am very happy. Still wish they would bring Zach (Quinto) back, but I am very fond of Jessica Lange as well and am very excited to see the new character she will play in the third season. Also happy to hear that Evan (Peters) and Lily (Rabe) will be returning as well. LOVE LOVE LOVE AMERICAN HORROR STORY!!! <3
Love all the women cast so far and Evans great, but w Dylan and James Cromwell getting other roles and ZQ probably not coming back, I'm nervous the male cast could be seriously lacking especially since this seasons about girl power. How can there be girl power without some men for them to triumph over. Bring back Denis O'Hare and Ian McShane, and give us someone new and nice to look at and this season will be perfect…Oh and if they go w the lalaurie house New Orleans story I agree they need some good African American actors/actresses. Could be a chance for britne oldford to shine more if they brought her back and Alfre Woodard would be an excellent addition
Loving everything about American Horror Story filming in New Orleans, however, Kathy Bates coming on board makes it even better for me. Ms. Bates is such an inspiration to me, I just love her.
what date will ahs begin. all we know now is wed at 10 p.m.

The Sun City Visitors Center's Heart Health Expo Wednesday morning drew a crowd to the Sundial Recreation Center in celebration of February's American Heart Month.
Sun Citians Mary and Floyd Young enjoyed walking through the booths to check out products they see in advertisements and to see what's new.
"I like it," Mary Young said. "You get to meet a lot of different people, too."
The event featured more than 100 vendors — ranging from medical companies to banks and senior living communities — and free blood pressure checks, along with raffles and drawings. Representatives from Mollen Clinic administered H1N1, flu and pneumonia shots.
Mary Young was interested in looking at items that might help her after a recent heart surgery, while her husband, Floyd, wanted to look at solar products and even tested out the moveable TEMPUR-Pedic bed on display at the Bedmart mattress booth.
"I'm glad they do this," Mary Young said.
Event attendees stopped by the CaptionCall booth to take a look at a special phone, similar to closed-captioned television, that transcribes phone calls for people with hearing loss, said product manager Robert Puzey.
About 10 percent of Americans have hearing loss, which tends to show up as people age, Puzey said. One of the biggest complaints that comes along with that is not being able to hear over the phone.
"CaptionCall solves that problem," Puzey said.
The CaptionCall phone quickly transcribes what the person on the other end of the phone is saying and shows the words on the phone's screen.
Visitors Center director Paul Herrmann was pleased with the event turnout and said vendors also appreciated the crowds.
"It's excellent; the numbers have been good so far," Herrmann said.

Scalability Experts have recently published a great white paper (PDF) that compares SQL Server 2000 running on 32-bit and 64-bit architectures and benchmarks both versions against known loads. The whitepaper uses a Unisys ES7000 mainframe-class server using Itanium 2 processors. The most interesting results were using the 64-bit edition of Analysis Services, where they demonstrated far higher headroom in terms of number of members and partition processing. Some of the most severe limitations of the 32-bit edition will be eradicated when SQL Server 2005 arrives, due to the rearchitecture of much of the OLAP engine, but the enhanced throughput of a 64-bit environment will still have a major effect.
The paper doesn't go into deep technical detail on how the benchmarks were conducted, which is a pity, but if you're looking for a broad technical overview of how the introduction of 64-bit will improve SQL Server scalability, it's not a bad read at all.

Georgia Coalition for Equity in Education (GCEE)
What is the Georgia Coalition for Equity in Education?
We are a broad coalition of disability, educational, mental health, child welfare, juvenile justice, civil rights and parent and youth advocacy groups from across the state who have joined together around our shared concerns about the Georgia Network for Educational and Therapeutic Supports (GNETS) program.
Read the GCEE Stakeholder Letter to Governor Deal - November 25, 2015
Read the GCEE Press Release - November 25, 2015
What is the GNETS?
1) It is a statewide program that segregates students based on their behavior-related disabilities.
2) The program is usually housed in separate buildings, but can also be in a separate area in a traditional neighborhood school.
3) GNETS only serves students with disabilities deemed to have an Emotional and Behavioral Disorder (EBD) eligibility.
4) GNETS are different from alternative schools as they are only for students with disabilities.
5) Students at GNETS range from 3-22 years of age.
6) Currently the 24 GNETS serve around 5,000 students with behavior-related disabilities and autism spectrum disorders.
For the past forty years, students in Georgia needing behavioral, mental health or other therapeutic services have been placed at the Georgia Network for Educational and Therapeutic Supports (GNETS) formerly known as Georgia's "Psycho-educational Centers". In 1970, the Rutland Center was established in Athens as the first GNET center. Currently there are 24 GNETS programs throughout Georgia. See the map of GNETS programs around the state.
U.S. Department of Justice Investigation
In July 2015, the U.S. government determined that the GNETS program illegally segregates students with disabilities. The report also stated that this was in violation of Title II of the American with Disabilities Act (ADA). Read the entire July 15, 2015 Letter of Findings by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ)
Summary of the Findings
1) Georgia unnecessarily and illegally segregates students with behavior-related disabilities through its GNETS program.
2) A majority of the students in GNETS programs spend their entire school day including meals, only with other students with disabilities in the Program. They have little to no opportunity to interact with their peers outside the GNETS program.
3)The existence of the GNETS program has prevented the schools from providing supports within the traditional school. GNETS enable school districts to segregate students instead of serving them appropriately.
4) Georgia does not provide teachers in general education schools with training to enable them to effectively support students with behavior-related disabilities in an integrated setting.
5) Many special education teachers also do not have any training on how to serve students with behavior-related disabilities.
6) Students in GNETS have an exit criteria developed that triggers transition back to traditional school. Most exit criteria were vague and contained higher standards of behavior than general education schools.
7) Most students at GNETS make no progress on their behavioral goals. Without appropriate behavioral supports, the students' behaviors increase rather than decrease. Most students never reach their exit criteria and remain at GNETS for several years.
8) Once students enter a GNET, they become "stuck" in the program. A 2010 Georgia Audit found the average time spent at a GNET for a student was 4 years.
9) Most students in GNETS programs can be served in more integrated settings
10) Students who are in GNETS programs do not have the same opportunities to participate in elective courses and/or other extracurricular activities as their peers.

Wash Park Sports Alley
As soon as the door to Wash Park Sports Alley swings open, it's pretty evident what goes on inside. Music pours like a liquefied conductor's score from an old jukebox, dancing with the clattering sound of pool balls and the constant chatter of sports announcers on 26 HDTVs. The bar gathers more than 20 draft and bottled brews, perfect for washing down the succulent Angus burgers, pulled-pork sandwiches, and vegetarian quinoa burgers gracing the kitchen's menu. After feasting, bar-goers can work off their meal in the game room, where billiards tables—left behind from the space's previous eatery—remain alongside foosball tables and Whac-a-Teetotaler.

ENCINITAS — A group of residents converged to brainstorm ways to retain the former Pacific View Elementary school site as a public asset on Nov. 20. While the gathering was a nontraditional meeting that included a live band and dancing, the speakers and participants were serious about their intentions to save the site from becoming another cluster of buildings that have no relationship to the community.
The Downtown Encinitas Mainstreet Association, or DEMA, in conjunction with the 101 Artists Colony is spearheading the effort to preserve the site for public use. "The land was given to the people of Encinitas," said DEMA Executive Director Dody Crawford. "Its historical value needs to be preserved."
One of the most popular ideas is to use the site for a gathering place for artists and children.
The possibility of developing a community cultural arts center was given new life after City Council voted to deny the Encinitas Union School District's application to rezone the site Nov. 10.
The unanimous decision came as a surprise to many in the packed City Council chambers, as some expected the council to agree with the Planning Commission's recommendation to change the 2.8-acre parcel of land from public/semi-public use to residential. Mayor Dan Dalager recused himself because he owns property close to the site.
The change in zoning would have allowed at least 30 homes to be built on the site.
Nearly a decade since closing the doors of Pacific View Elementary School, the site's future remains uncertain. The Planning Commission voted 3-0 on Aug. 5, with two members recusing themselves from the discussion citing conflicts of interest, to continue the Encinitas Union School District's request for a change in zoning.
The proposal was a land use change that normally goes to the public for a vote. However, because the 2.8–acre rezoning site met certain criteria, the staff had the option to put it before the Planning Commission for a recommendation according to Associate Planner J. Dichoso.
The commission declined to vote on the zoning change from public/semi-public to residential, allowing up to 15 dwellings per acre-known as DR-15. Instead, the commissioners directed staff to include language in the proposal that would ensure future developments adhere to the character of the surrounding neighborhood. An amended proposal passed unanimously Sept. 2.
Located on Third Street between E and F streets, the modest school is surrounded by commercial buildings and smaller homes, with a few exceptions. The property was gifted to the city in 1883 for a school site. The original schoolhouse is located to the west of the property and houses the Encinitas Historical Society.
While several proposals have been tossed around regarding the future of the site, none have been met with success. In 2005, an advisory committee was created consisting of various stakeholders. An initial proposal to build a medical complex with office space and condos was met with disapproval by the downtown community.
"Whatever we decide to do we need to treat this like a marriage proposal, because we will be married to the school board," Danny Salzhandler of the 101 Artists Colony told the crowd. "We need to woo them."
Salzhandler also stressed that any future project or use of the site should be guided by four basic principles: education, including art and nutrition, and our children's access to the site; historic preservation and adaptive reuse of the existing buildings, that the site remain available for public use; and that it provide revenue to the district for the benefit of the city's nine elementary schools.
Margaret Nee, an artist who facilitates Grrrl Zines A-Go-Go in Leucadia, said she came to show her support and find out how to get involved. "Encinitas desperately needs a community arts space," she said. "The real estate prices in this area make it difficult to sustain a space for the arts," Nee said. "It seems like something that the city should support."
Crawford urged the community to attend the school board's monthly public meeting on Dec. 7 at 6:30 p.m. "Let's let them know we are serious about using the site," she said. The school board meets at 101 S. Rancho Santa Fe Rd.

Police officers nabbed a Eureka man who allegedly stole items during an armed robbery attempt at a city gas station Saturday morning.
Bobby Ray Wilson, 54, was booked into the Humboldt County jail on suspicion of robbery after trying to hold up a clerk at the Patriot Gas Station at 1711 Broadway, according to Eureka Police Department officials. He is being held on $50,000 bail.
Officials added Wilson was identified by the clerk in a photo lineup.
The robbery attempt occurred at about 6:22 a.m. The clerk told officers a black male in his 40s walked into the station carrying a newspaper. He approached the counter with a cup of coffee and beer before asking for further items behind the counter. Once the items were placed on the counter, the man pulled out a dark colored item from his pocket and hid it with the newspaper.
The man then threatened the clerk after demanding money. With the clerk unable to open the register, and with another customer approaching, the man grabbed several items from the counter and left.
Review of the station's surveillance video provided officers with a visual of the suspect and at about 10:17 p.m., police found Wilson -- who matched the description -- on the east side of the Stop and Shop Market on Wabash Avenue.
Wilson was detained and soon admitted his involvement in the robbery, officials added.


text: I Have A Wife Who Exposed Her Breasts In Public On The Couch In Front Of The Window Sunday mornings at the office block 30 yards from our living room window, have cleaning staff and people without a social life in them. At best a hand full of people. Our blinds were open and the room well lit by the sun, and it made us horny. We picked the couch with its back to the window and the office block. My wife sat on my lap and let me explore her body. Then I took off her blouse and set her breasts free. At this point she turned and straddled me, exposing her topless self to anyone looking in. She let me suck on her breasts and kiss her all over. She rose up on her knees, so I could unzip her pants and pull them down. Her black lace panties were easy to move aside, presenting me with her already wet *****. Anyone looking in would have seen her almost naked body, at the window, making love to someone on the couch. I started to work it with my mouth and tongue, and she began moaning and grinding her ***** into my mouth. Her groans gave way to moans and then to screaming while her grinding became more violent. I turned my eyes upward to see her C-cup breasts bouncing as her chest heaved and her head was thrown back. Soon she climaxed with her body in an arch, supported by her knees on the couch, her hand holding my head and her ***** resting on my mouth. Her final half moan-half scream was long and came from deep within her. Her ***** rewarded my mouth and tongue with its juice, that cascaded over my tongue,and coated the inside of my mouth, before it found its way down my throat. The show had lasted about a half hour which gave anyone in the office a great view of my wife's naked and shapely body, presenting her breasts in all their natural bouncing glory. deleted 26-30 1 Sep 19, 2010 Cancel

Fluminense end 12-match winless run in Brazil
RIO DE JANEIRO, Nov 12 (Reuters) - Struggling Fluminense won for the first time in 12 games and ended a 18-match winless run spanning three clubs for their coach Paulo Cesar Gusmao as they beat Cruzeiro 1-0 in the Brazilian championship on Sunday.
Ponte Preta converted a three-times taken penalty in their 3-0 win over Flamengo while Corinthians held on for a goalless draw away to Figueirense despite having two players sent off in the first half.
Sao Paulo stayed seven points clear of Internacional at the top with two games each to play after both sides won while Fortaleza and Santa Cruz became the first two clubs to be relegated.
Fluminense's win, their first since Sept. 17, kept them just outside the relegation zone.
Evando's goal four minutes before halftime left 'Flu' 16th in the 20-team table with 40 points from 35 games, two ahead of Ponte Preta. The bottom four go down.
It was Fluminense's first win in nine outings under Gusmao, their sixth coach this year, whose personal drought stretched back to July 12 when he was coach of Cruzeiro.
Since then, Gusmao had gone a further five matches without a win at Cruzeiro before being sacked. He then took over at Sao Caetano but was fired by them as well after a run of five straight defeats.
Ponte Preta were helped by two first-half penalties as they won for the first time in six matches.
Defender Preto converted the first in the 10th minute and Jailton needed three attempts to score the second in first-half stoppage-time.
Flamengo goalkeeper Bruno saved the first two but was judged to have moved on both occasions. He protested and was booked for dissent.
Emerson completed Ponte's win in the 75th minute.
Defending champions Corinthians, who had won their last five games to pull clear of the relegation zone, were happy to settle for a point at Figueirense.
Defender Marinho was sent off for two bookable offences in the first 12 minutes and Marcus Vinicius followed in the 39th.
Goalkeeper Marcelo made at least five outstanding saves to keep Figueirense at bay.
Leaders Sao Paulo needed only 16 minutes to polish off Goias as they continued their march towards the title.
Midfielder Mineiro scored with a fulminating long-range drive in the 11th minute and defender Fabao headed in Souza's corner five minutes later.
Sao Paulo, who will take the title if they win next week, have 73 points from 35 games.
South American champions Internacional kept the championship alive by beating 19th-placed Fortaleza 3-0 with goals from Fernandao, Indio and Alex, a result which condemned their opponents to the second division.
Bottom club Santa Cruz also went down after losing 3-0 at home to Sao Caetano, who are 18th and kept alive their faint hopes of survival.

GRAND RAPIDS, MICH. –- Mike Huckabee met with over a hundred pastors on Saturday morning to ask them to consider supporting him and when asked about his tax proposal, he said, "Well, you wouldn't pay taxes on anything you earned, period. There wouldn't be any taxes on income."
Light laughter started to ripple through the room, as if in disbelief and certainly unfamiliarity with the "Fair Tax" idea, which proposes to scrap all federal income tax and replace it with a national sales tax. Supporters of this tax system believe it will boost the economy by no longer penalizing individual productivity while at the same time creating a tax structure that does not discourage corporations and small businesses for operating in the US.
Unfazed, Huckabee continued, "So frankly, it takes away all the taxes not just on your productivity but anybody's productivity, which I think is a much more efficient economic model. But here's one thing it does, it gets rid of the IRS. I mean, there is no IRS in this system."
"Why should we let some government regulatory body dictate to us the terms of the First Amendment? That's the most absurd thing I've ever heard of."
Loud, if scattered, applause broke to ease the awkwardness of the initial crowd response.
Huckabee continued," So part of the benefit of the Fair Tax for pastors and for churches is, there's no longer this threat hanging over your head about what you can do. And I think that is one of the great pluses the Fair Tax, one of the many reasons that I embrace it, not only for the economic reasons, but I think for matters of freeing people up and no to be intimidated by the IRS."
Huckabee joked, "I believe this: the only person to which you have to confess is to your pastor or your priest, not to the IRS."
Michigan state Rep. Fulton Sheen, who served as chairman of Mitt Romney's Faith and Values Committee, publicly switched his support to Mike Huckabee this weekend largely because of his tax proposal. Sheen believes it will make a "huge difference" in reviving Michigan's sagging economy.
"Mitt Romney was, in the last couple of months, beginning to oppose the Fair Tax proposal," said Sheen. "My greatest concern is the Michigan Fair Tax proposal because I introduced it here in the state. And it's going to be in the ballot in November."
He continued, "That…and my heart's resonating with the words [Huckabee] is saying."
