Music Industry Wins Some, May Lose More
The music industry has had its ups and downs in the past week. One up was the Jammie Thomas trial in Minnesota where it won a $220,000 judgment for file sharing of 24 songs. Members of the jury commented afterward that they were trying to send a message. They did, but it's likely to fall on deaf ears. The number of people sued (about 26,000) compared to the numbers downloading music (between 6 and 9 million depending on the source of the statistic). Miss Thomas and her lawyer plans to appeal the verdict.
Another up is the establishment of an alternative download store to Apple's iTunes by Amazon. They have good depth in catalog (although not near what Apple offers), priced lower than Apple, higher quality and DRM free. It sounds ideal for the consumer and for the labels except, perhaps, for some of the terms of sale. The Seattle-Post Intelligencer is reporting on how contractual terms are restricting what consumers can do with their music files. As quoted from the article, a consumer has to "agree that you will not redistribute, transmit, assign, sell, broadcast, rent, share, lend, modify, adapt, edit, sub-license or otherwise transfer or use the Digital Content." Some of these restrictions, such as "sell" wouldn't affect physical CDs thanks to the first sale doctrine. As to "use the digital content," does that include listening to it?
This language makes sense from the industry point of view. Without DRM all they have is a contract as a legal option. The question is not whether the terms are viable, but rather how a violation would be detected. If tracks showed up on a file sharing network they might be identified by some type of individual watermark that would trigger an additional breach of contract count beyond copyright infringement. As always let the buyer (and sharer) beware.
And then there's Radiohead. This extremely popular band made a lot of money for EMI over the course of its contract with that label. They have a new album but no contract to distribute it. No problem, sell it directly from a band website. The problem for the labels, however, is the terms of sale. The band has told its fans to pay whatever it wants for the download. That can include nothing, nada, zip, or free. Anyone who pays over $2 to $3 will probably give the band more money directly than what the artists would have received as a royalty from a label per unit sold. And while some fans will download the album for free, many are quite willing to give the band more than a fair amount of money in exchange for the music. The net effect is that if this is a successful business model for bands, then the labels will have fewer acts to promote.
Nine Inch Nails no longer has a label and is considering direct marketing. New reports indicate that the band Oasis is also thinking about direct marketing. This can't bode well for the labels. Yes, these are name bands with their brands established and they can consider moves like this because of their fan base. Smaller bands, though, can do this over time by making a name for themselves through touring and other self-promoting ideas. Sure there's competition between performers, but that's nothing new.
It's well known in the industry that the real money for bands comes from the road via ticket sales, concessions, t-shirt sales and the like, not unit sales. The labels know this and complain that they get no cut from tour revenue stream. At the same time, they have little to do with taking risks for the success of a tour. Newer artists understand this. There are perennial predictions that the Internet will kill the business model of the labels. The Radiohead move may be significant by cutting out the middle man. If they're successful, look for more artists to do the same. That can't be good news for labels when artists become businessmen, especially if they offer a better deal to consumers than the labels.

Saving our resources
The energy used by Waterstones is carefully monitored and we have in place practices to help reduce our energy consumption. This has led to a reduction over the last year which follows a year on year reduction over the last four years. The Environment Champions in each store are directly responsible for energy management at a branch level, and can make a significant contribution to the protection of natural resources and the environment.
The following initiatives have all contributed to our reduced energy consumption:
In 2008 Waterstones joined a government group called "The Ripple effect" which is designed to help companies reduce the amount of water they use. Our Environment Champions support this by checking meter readings, carrying out audits, looking for running taps and leaks, fitting cisterns with economisers, and generally promoting awareness.

I avoid PUG's like the plague and if I were group leader no noobs would be getting in unless the part the noob played was minimal.
Guildmates will always spend the time helping you learn. Sometimes you will get the odd nice person that will teach you the instance. I used too.. but then too many noobs did too many stupid things.

The circulatory system of a human compared to that of a frog is different due to the number of chambers each contains. A frog's heart has three chambers (two atria, and a single ventricle), whereas a human's has four (two atria, and two ventricles). The atrium of a frog receives deoxygenated blood from the blood vessels that drain the various organs of the body. The left atrium receives oxygenated blood from the lungs and skin. Both atria empty into the single ventricle, which is divided into narrow chambers that reduce the mixing of the two bloods. The ventricle contracts, oxygenated blood from the left atrium is sent into the carotid arteries, thus taking blood to the head (and brain). Then, the deoxygenated blood from the right atrium is sent to the pulmocutaneous arteries, therefore taking blood to the skin and lungs where fresh oxygen can be picked up.
The systemic circulation of a human is a loop from the heart to the various parts of the body, which works in contrast to the pulmonary circulation. In the systemic circulation, arteries collect the oxygen-rich blood from the heart and transport it to the body tissues. In the process, oxygen from the blood is diffused into the body cells, and carbon dioxide from the cells is diffused in the blood. The pulmonary circulation, however, is a loop from the heart to the lungs. Here, deoxygenated blood from the heart is carried to the lungs and then oxygenated blood is returned to the heart. The oxygen-depleted blood leaves the heart through the two pulmonary arteries and moves into the lungs. In the lungs, respiration takes place in which the red blood cells release carbon dioxide and absorbs oxygen. Oxygenated blood from the lungs is then carried back to the heart with the help of pulmonary veins. [continues]

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- A Memphis, Tenn., hospital is confirming
that Apple founder Steve Jobs received a liver transplant and that
he has an "excellent prognosis."
Dr. James D. Eason made the announcement Tuesday on the
hospital's Web site. He is program director at Methodist University
Hospital Transplant Institute and chief of transplantation.
Eason says Jobs was the sickest patient on the waiting list at
the time a donor organ became available.
He says Jobs is recovering well.
Eason did not say when the operation was, citing patient
privacy. He says the hospital could not reveal any further
information on the specifics of the transplant.
Apple has been silent on the issue of Jobs' health.

Book Description:Bodie, Kane, and Marcus' Investments is the leading textbook for the graduate/MBA investments market. It is recognized as the best blend of practical and theoretical coverage, while maintaining an appropriate rigor and clear writing style. Its unifying theme is that security markets are nearly efficient, meaning that most securities are usually priced appropriately given their risk and return attributes. The text places greater emphasis on asset allocation, and offers a much broader and deeper treatment of futures, options, and other derivative security markets than most investment texts.

It was the primary site for information about train, tram and bus timetables. The database contained the full names, addresses, home and mobile phone numbers, email addresses, dates of birth, and a nine-digit extract of credit card numbers used at the site, according to The Age newspaper in Melbourne.Rogers says he contacted the site after Christmas to report the vulnerability but never got a response.

55330759 submission + - Building a better bike helmet out of paper 0 Submitted by Anonymous Coward on Sunday January 12, 2014 @06:16PM An anonymous reader writes "Inspired by nature, a London man believes the solution to safer bike helmets is to build them out of paper. '"The animal that stood out was the woodpecker. It pecks at about ten times per second and every time it pecks it sustains the same amount of force as us crashing at 50 miles per hour," says Surabhi. "It's the only bird in the world where the skull and the beak are completely disjointed, and there's a soft corrugated cartilage in the middle that absorbs all the impact and stops it from getting a headache." In order to mimic the woodpecker's crumple zone, Anirudha turned to a cheap and easily accessible source — paper. He engineered it into a double-layer of honeycomb that could then be cut and constructed into a functioning helmet. "What you end up with is with tiny little airbags throughout the helmet," he says.'"

55319335 submission + - Doctors Say Food Stamp Cuts Could Cause Higher Healthcare Costs 4 Submitted by Hugh Pickens DOT Com on Sunday January 12, 2014 @02:23PM Hugh Pickens DOT Com writes "Lauran Neergaard writes at the Christian Science Monitor that doctors are warning that if Congress cuts food stamps, the federal government could be socked with bigger health bills because over time the poor wind up seeking treatment in doctors' offices or hospitals as a result. "If you're interested in saving health care costs, the dumbest thing you can do is cut nutrition," says Dr. Deborah Frank of Boston Medical Center, who founded the Children's HealthWatch pediatric research institute. "People don't make the hunger-health connection." Food stamps feed 1 in 7 Americans and cost almost $80 billion a year, twice what it cost five years ago. The doctors' lobbying effort comes as Congress is working on a compromise farm bill that's certain to include food stamp cuts. Republicans want heftier reductions than do Democrats in yet another partisan battle over the government's role in helping poor Americans. Conservatives say the program spiraled out of control as the economy struggled and the costs are not sustainable. However research from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and The Pew Charitable Trusts estimated that a cut of $2 billion a year in food stamps could trigger in an increase of $15 billion in medical costs (PDF) for over the next decade. Other research shows children from food-insecure families are 30 percent more likely to have been hospitalized for a range of illnesses. "Food is medicine," says Massachusetts Representative Jim McGovern, who has led the Democrats' defense of the food stamp program. "Critics focus almost exclusively on how much we spend, and I wish they understood that if we did this better, we could save a lot more money in health care costs.""

55315579 submission + - Regex Golf, XKCD And Peter Norvig -> 0 Submitted by mikejuk on Sunday January 12, 2014 @12:55PM mikejuk writes "A recent xkcd cartoon has started some deep academic thinking. When AI expert Peter Novig gets involved you know the algorithms are going to fly. Code Golf is a reasonably well known sport of trying to code an algorithm in the shortest possible code. Regex Golf is similar, but in general the aim is to create a regular expression that accepts the strings in one list and rejects the strings in a second list. The xkcd cartoon in question http://xkcd.com/1313/ revealed that this is but the first step. Programmers like recursion and a regex is a string after all and a regex can process a string so a regex can process a regex and this means you can have meta-regex golf and meta-meta-regex golf.... Yes my friend, it's regexes all the way down!The hover over text gives a regular expression that matches the last names of the elected US presidents, but not the losers. This started Peter Norvig, the well-known computer scientist, director of research at Google and wearer of brightly colored shirts, thinking about the problem. Is it possible to write a program that would create a regular expression to solve the xkcd problem? The result is an NP hard problem that needs AI like techniques to get an approximate answer.To find out more read the complete description, including Python code, at Peter Norvig's blog post http://nbviewer.ipython.org/url/norvig.com/ipython/xkcd1313.ipynb which ends with the challenge:"I hope you found this interesting, and perhaps you can find ways to improve my algorithm, or more interesting lists to apply it to.

55282399 submission + - Tech's Gender and Race Gap Starts in High School-> 0 Submitted by Anonymous Coward on Saturday January 11, 2014 @10:40PM An anonymous reader writes "Diversifying the tech industry is a prominent topic these days, with much analysis being done on colleges and companies that employ software engineers. But exam data shows the gap is created much earlier — it's almost overwhelming even before kids get out of high school. From the article: 'Ericson's analysis of the data shows that in 2013, 18 percent of the students who took the exam were women. Eight percent were Hispanic, and four percent were African-American. In contrast, Latinos make up 22 percent of the school-age population in the U.S.; African-Americans make up 14 percent. (I don't need to tell you that women make up about half.) There are some states where not a single member of one of these groups took the test last year. No women in Mississippi or Montana took it. Seven states had no Hispanic students take the exam: Alaska, Idaho, Kansas, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, and North Dakota. And 10 states had no Black students take the exam: Alaska, Idaho, Kansas, Maine, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, and Utah. In some of these states, there simply aren't many students of any race or gender taking the test, which helps explain the dearth of young women and minorities. (Indeed, no women or minorities took the exam in Wyoming—but that's because no students at all took it.) But Idaho had nearly 50 students taking it, and Utah had more than 100.'"Link to Original Source

Oklahoma Pastor: Gay People Behind Half of Urban Murders
Posted By Leah Nelson On November 18, 2011 @ 9:07 am In Anti-LGBT,Christian Right,Extremist Propaganda | 11 Comments
Pastor Tom Vineyard of Windsor Hills Baptist Church in Oklahoma must be bummed. Though onlookers reportedly [1] gave him standing ovation for his impassioned speech against adding sexual orientation to the protected classes named in Oklahoma City's employment nondiscrimination policy, City Council members on Tuesday voted 7-2 in favor of the measure.
Making his case that adding explicit protection against discrimination would "bring down God's judgment on [the] city," Vineyard cited a New York City judge named John Martaugh, who allegedly said that over half the murders in large cities are committed by LGBT people.
A New York City judge said what? Hatewatch checked, and the only record we could find of Judge Martaugh and his obviously bogus statistic was in a 1992 column from the Gary, Ind., Post-Tribune, whose author, evangelist Jerry Kaifetz, also wrote, "Homosexuality has always been and remains nothing less than a fist in the face of God."
Kaifetz told Hatewatch in a phone interview yesterday that he does not recall the source of the alleged Martaugh quote.
With a little digging, Hatewatch did uncover evidence that in 1951, a Judge John Murtagh [2] led a campaign to increase the penalties faced by "perverts." (Hatewatch found no independent record of the comment attributed to him by Kaifetz.) Murtagh also presided over the 1964 obscenity trial of comedian Lenny Bruce, whom he found guilty for performances that were "obscene, indecent, immoral, and impure," "contain little or no literary or artistic merit" and were of "little social significance."
Murtagh died in 1976. As it happens, his son, a Republican politician from Yonkers, N.Y., is a firm supporter of gay marriage.
The deceased judge's alleged comment was only one part of Vineyard's crusade against Oklahoma City's plan to include sexual orientation in its anti-discrimination policy. In an open letter dated Nov. 14, he begged Mayor Mick Cornett and the City Council to "please consider some statistics that studies have found regarding the homosexual population."
One such statistic – attributed to a Frank Joseph, M.D. – says that "the average yearly income of a homosexual is $55,430 while the average income of a heterosexual in the general population is $32,144."
Frank Joseph, M.D. did indeed write this, citing as his source the 1990 Statistical Abstract of the United States – a project of the U.S. Census Bureau that does not include any information whatsoever on sexual orientation. Hatewatch found Joseph's article, titled "Everyone Should Know These Statistics on Homosexuals," on the website of Tradition in Action [3], a radical traditionalist Catholic [4] hate group which says that Hindus worship devils and approvingly quotes the Spanish monarchy's infamous 1492 royal edict expelling all Jews who declined to convert.
Tradition in Action also refers to Catholicism as the one true faith – a fact that, though he leads a Baptist church, apparently did not cause Pastor Vineyard pause or cause him to question the credibility of his source.
Vineyard did not respond to multiple requests for comment.
The rest of Vineyard's letter to the City Council is hodge-podge of dubious statistics and anecdotes supposedly proving the moral decrepitude of LGBT people, culled from sources like the viciously anti-gay [5] WorldNetDaily (which, among other things, embraces the totally false theory [6] that gays were responsible for the Holocaust). Also cited is former FBI agent Gary Aldrich's anti-Clinton hit-piece Unlimited Access, which is packed with allegations of nefarious homosexual goings-on among administration employees. Vineyard followed some of these "facts" with questions directed to Oklahoma City Councilman Ed Shadid, who introduced the anti-discrimination measure. For instance, after referencing the case of former U.S. Rep. Jon Hinson (R-Miss.), who resigned in 1981 after being charged with attempted oral sodomy, he wrote: "[I]s this the kind of behavior Mr. Shadid is wanting to promote in city offices and restrooms?"
A lengthy section of the letter is devoted to supposed historical evidence of homosexuality's corrosive influence, including a citation to a 1787 book that said Rome fell in part because of "an increasing interest and obsession with sexual perversions." Vineyard also referenced the alleged 1963 congressional testimony of a Florida woman who said that Communists were promoting homosexuality as part of a plot to take over America.
Closing his case, the pastor wrote: "The fact is that during this last generation, America has been fed a lie about the sin the Bible calls sodomy."
Pastor Vineyard is half-right – someone has definitely been fed a lie about the aforementioned "sin." Fortunately, Oklahoma City's municipal government declined to swallow it.

The average pay of an "out" gay person may be higher, because they are both smart enough to know how the world works and have the chutzpa necessary to be "out". As such, we are in exactly the same position as German Jews in 1933, by that I mean, very vulnerable to ignorant resentment. There are also a lot of gay people that work on the bottom of the social strata, Some can be out, some cannot right now because they work in truly dangerous places and some are simply too shy to be "out". They are probably not in any statistic.
#2 Comment By infmom On November 18, 2011 @ 12:07 pm
Reverend Ron Adrian of the Baptist Tabernacle in Wichita, KS, did much the same thing in the late 1970s when the city commission included "sexual orientation" in a civil rights ordinance. He whipped up a hate campaign that polluted the local airwaves and got his way.
It seems that the more things change, the more things stay the same.
#3 Comment By Aron On November 18, 2011 @ 12:54 pm
Is there any chance we might be able to look at this 1787 book ourselves? While I know Edward Gibbons' immortal The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire was still being published volume by volume, I don't think he ever wrote that.
I would be very curious to find the source. Thanks!
#4 Comment By Ian On November 18, 2011 @ 1:34 pm
Dear religious right,
Either we're effeminate weirdos trying to undermine gender roles or we're macho killers responsible for horrible violence. Pick one.
The evil Homosexual Lobby
PS: I believe the "average yearly income of a homosexual is $55,430″ meme comes from a survey of readers of a gay magazine. Those citing the study fail to note that glossy magazine readers of any orientation are, on average, better off than others within the same group.
#5 Comment By Ian On November 18, 2011 @ 1:36 pm
Sorry, I couldn't find the source of the survey, since in the link the footnotes get cut off. I don't know if any readers or staff at Hatewatch can get it.
#6 Comment By Terry Washington On November 18, 2011 @ 11:08 pm
How can he TELL? Since murderers are not usually listed by sexual preference!
#7 Comment By Reynardine On November 19, 2011 @ 6:00 am
Maybe the footnotes were cut off because there isn't any survey. It's also interesting that homicidal violence is being attributed to a group who are otherwise supposed to be unfit for military service because they're a bunch of pansies who can't fight.
#8 Comment By Ryan On November 19, 2011 @ 1:02 pm
Keep in mind, the ability to maintain a consistent narrative is an exceptionally rare trait among bigots.
#9 Comment By IThink On November 19, 2011 @ 3:17 pm
^Amen to that Reynardine and Ryan; the only sad fact of this matter is that one of those people listening to 'Pastor' Vineyard's rant will either likely end up harming an LGBT person themselves or be all the more explicitly discriminatory against the group themselves in the private secotr now that this legislation has passed, if not "Tall Tale Tom" himself (in a child molestation charge or otherwise to manifest his self-deprecating hypocrisy about it all).
It's not so scary that people with beliefs like this exist so much as that there are equally ignorant, bigoted, and un-Christian groups who will vehemently listen to and defend it it until the death; this is a scary time for America indeed…
P.S. to Mr. Vineyard—Even that dick Cheyney believes in LGBT rights and marriage equality, even if if he means it only for his own (questionably) conservative lesbian of a daughter, no less.
#10 Comment By Animal Right-Aidd On November 28, 2011 @ 10:57 pm
To be sure. Don't blame the Spanish, Asian, Moslem and assorted other gangs for street murders. It's the gays. Maybe it's the Pandas or the Otters.
Or……………maybe it's the Xtians. (Pol) Pot calling the ketttle………………………..

AGAIN, and again and again and again – RELIGION rears its ugly head. This is just deplorable – not surprising, bukt deplorable.

Warning: players who appear in our live prospects listing, but are ranked near the very bottom of the list, may only appear in this position because their records have only become visible in the past few days and are still awaiting update. They may also only appear because they were once ranked higher and still technically qualify. As a side-effect of our automated processes, the end of the publicly-visible list also collects longshots, underdocumented signees, recently-retired players, foreign players unlikely to enter MLB, near-busts and other extreme dark-horse candidates. It does not mean that there are not 'better' prospects, only that better prospects in our system lack enough accurate data and/or scouting inputs to become visible at this time.

A well-rounded righthander from Ohio State drafted the Twins in the first round of 2010, Alex Wimmers was that rare example of a college pitcher who already showed control of three pitches, including a genuine plus changeup, before ever setting foot on a professional mound. A big-game pitcher who excelled under pressure in college, Wimmers showed consistent shutdown ability whenever the Buckeyes needed it, but he seemed more than a little wild at high-A Fort Myers last year, though he did calm down later in the year after a little off-field work on his approach to the craft, and looked close to his old self by the end of the season. His uncanny ability to outsmart hitters rather than blow them away with his stuff has always been his primary asset, so it should be no real surprise that his effectiveness hinges on the sharpness of his mental game, and that's never been as true as 2013, when he'll be working his way back from late-season TJ surgery. He will need patience and wile in order to rediscover and/or reinvent his delivery as a result. If the enigma of his ability/performance dichotomy can be untangled, he'll be an asset, though, no matter whether he comes as part of the rotation or the bullpen.

The Top 10 The Ten Most Intriguing Business Decisions in the Post-Enron World.
10. Exelon throws in the towel on pebble bed ...
Exelon drops out of partnership studying the commercialization of pebble bed modular reactor nuclear technology. As the only U.S. utility considering PBMR, some predict Exelon's exit could put development of the technology on the backburner in the United States.9. ... Exelon, Entergy, Dominion ready to do the rounds on traditional nuclear
Exelon, Entergy and Dominion this spring become the first companies to name sites for possible new nuclear plant construction under the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's early site processing. Entergy selects its Grand Gulf nuclear station, near Point Gibson, Miss., as a possible location for the construction of a new reactor, while Dominion announces that it might seek to expand its North Anna nuclear plant in Louisa County, Va. Exelon is eyeing its existing Clinton (Ill.) nuclear plant site for possible expansion.8. AES wants out of Cilcorp marriage
Three years after acquiring it, AES agrees to sell Cilcorp to Ameren. AES says the sale will significantly contribute to its balance sheet in keeping with its commitment to improve its declining liquidity.7. New-look Aquila goes hunting
UtiliCorp United swims against current by changing name to Aquila as part of strategy to convey the company's increased focus on energy trading and risk management. Still aware of the importance of assets, though, Aquila hits the M&A circuit and announces deal to buy power producer Cogentrix Energy, nearly doubling Aquila's capacity to generate power.6. Centrica spurns NP, inherits AEP assets
Anxiety about NewPower Holdings' ties to Enron's bankruptcy gives Centrica cold feet in March in its quest to become the number one energy retailer in North America. Less than a month later, though, Centrica consummates a deal with AEP that transfers AEP retail accounts in Texas to Centrica, giving the U.K. giant a stronger foothold in Texas' deregulating market.5. National Grid plots U.S. invasion
National Grid Group proposes merger with Lattice Group, owner of British pipeline company Transco, creating a combined company this fall with a market cap of $24 billion. National Grid proclaims that one of the most important reasons for the deal is to create new M&A opportunities in the northeastern United States.4. Trans-Elect, CMS make history
In a first-of-its-kind deal, Consumers Energy, a subsidiary of CMS Energy, closes on the sale of its transmission system, known as Michigan Electric Transmission Co., to private power grid company Trans-Elect. The deal is the first outright sale of a U.S.-based transmission system to an independent transmission company.3. UBS Paints Pin Stripes On Former Enron Traders
UBS Warburg acquires the energy trading operations of Enron this past winter and launches its own version of EnronOnline called UBSWenergy.com. Housed in the new office building mirroring Enron's headquarters in downtown Houston, UBS Warburg Energy retains about 625 former Enron employees. UBS acquires Enron's trading business for no up-front money. It promises to give Enron 33 percent of the profits of the operation, climbing to

3:43 p.m.: Through five innings, the Orioles and Red Sox combined for only five hits.
3:38 p.m.: Daniel Nava managed a single to left field in the fifth inning, but that was the extent of the Red Sox offense. Wei-Yin Chen recorded two strikeouts and a grounded, and the teams closed five innings without any runs. Through five innings, Chen threw 74 pitches.
3:27 p.m.: Clay Buchholz worked through another uneventful inning in the fifth. He issued a two-out walk to Nate McLouth, but then retired Manny Machado on a fly ball to right field to end the inning. Through five innings, Buchholz threw 76 pitches.
3:19 p.m.: Missed opportunities was a theme for the Red Sox in the bottom of the fourth. Dustin Pedroia walked just after Shane Victorino was thrown out attempting to steal second. Then Mike Napoli grounded into a 4-6-3 double play.
3:15 p.m.: Even before the next plate appearance can complete, Shane Victorino is thrown out attempting to steal second base. The Orioles have thrown out 5 of 6 would-be base-stealers this season, via Eduardo A. Encina.
3:13 p.m.: Shane Victorino led off the fourth inning with a single to left field to give the Red Sox their first hit of the day.
3:11 p.m.: What's the Red Sox' problem with lefthanded pitchers? Their lack of production through three innings mirrors their recent troubles against southpaws. Their only two losses this season were started by Yankees lefty Andy Pettitte and Blue Jays lefty J.A. Happ. They managed just one run against them combined, and had just one hit against Happ. Their troubles with Wei-Yin Chen continue that trend.
3:09 p.m.: Dustin Pedroia starts a 4-6-3 double play to end the Orioles' half of the fourth inning.
3:03 p.m.: On just eight pitches, Wei-Yin Chen retired the Red Sox 1-2-3 in the bottom of the third.
2:57 p.m.: Clay Buchholz worked out of the jam by striking out Adam Jones looking on a hanging curve ball on a 3-2 count. Jones entered the game with a .536 batting average. He also said on Sunday of the Fenway Park fans, "The more people, the more you want to shut them up."
2:53 p.m.: The Orioles put together their first scoring opportunity in the third inning. Manny Machado and Nick Markakis offered back-to-back two-out singles.
2:48 p.m.: Former Red Sox manager Terry Francona is making his debut in Cleveland during the Indians home opener today. The new Indians manager sounds like he still needs to get acclimated to his surroundings. He said today he got lost on the two-block walk from his apartment to the Indians' ballpark.
2:46 p.m.: Pitching has dominated through the first two innings. No runner reached second base for either team in the first two frames.
2:44 p.m.: After 10-pitch at-bat, Jonny Gomes popped out to second to end the second inning with the game still scoreless.
2:39 p.m.: With two outs in the second inning, Daniel Nava became the first Red Sox baserunner of the day after drawing a walk. He started in place of Jackie Bradley Jr. today.
2:32 p.m.: For the second straight inning, Clay Buchholz allowed a leadoff baserunner and then retired three straight batters. This time, he struck out JJ Hardy and Ryan Flaherty to end the inning.
2:27 p.m.: We're only six games into the season, but the Orioles entered the game with two players in their lineup (Adam Jones, Chris Davis) who have OBPs above .500. While Jones drove a ball to the warning track in the first inning, Davis drew a walk to open the second. (By the way, the Red Sox also have two players with OBPs at .500 or better—Mike Napoli and Jose Iglesias.)
2:23 p.m.: The Red Sox went 1-2-3 against Wei-Yin Chen in their half of the first inning.
2:17 p.m.: The Blue Jays claimed Mauro Gomez on waivers from the Red Sox. Gomez was dropped from the 40-man roster to make room for Jackie Bradley Jr.
2:14 p.m.: Clay Buchholz worked around his the leadoff single he allowed by getting three straight outs on fly balls. Adam Jones drove a deep fly ball to the warning track in right field, but Shane Victorino caught it to end the inning.
2:09 p.m.: Clay Buchholz drew the start for the Red Sox today. Nate McLouth delivered a ground ball single up the middle to open for the Orioles.
2:00 p.m.: The Red Sox, continuing their months-long distancing of themselves from the 2011-12 teams, played a video montage with the Florence and the Machine song "Shake it out." Among the lyrics: "It's always darkest before the dawn."
1:58 p.m.: Keeping with the Jimmy Fund theme, the Red Sox had representatives from the charity and from the team in each of their six decades of partnership walk onto the field to throw out the ceremonial first pitches. Continued...

Welcome, we're here to help.
Resources, tips and tools to build a stronger Texas workforce.
On this page:
If you exhaust all of your state-paid regular unemployment benefits by December 21, 2013, and you may be eligible for federal extended unemployment benefits, we will notify you by mail. Be sure to change your address with us as needed to ensure that you receive notices. You cannot apply or qualify for extended benefits before exhausting your current regular benefits.
Continue to submit your Payment Request when scheduled, even after you have exhausted your regular benefits so that we can pay you benefits for all weeks that you are eligible.
Texas qualifies to pay two benefit extension periods, Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC) Tier 1 and Tier 2. Funding for these benefits expired on December 28, 2013.
View chart showing weeks of extended unemployment benefits & deadlines for EUC
To be eligible for any extended benefits, you must:
Additional eligibility requirements:
If you are required to look for work, you must continue making your minimum work search activities each week. In addition:
Continue to submit your Payment Request when scheduled, even after you have exhausted your regular benefits so that we can pay you benefits for all weeks that you are eligible.
After you exhaust your regular benefits, we mail you a Tier 1 application to complete and return. When we receive your Emergency Unemployment Compensation application we will determine your eligibility. You cannot apply for Tier 1 before you exhaust regular benefits.
If you currently receive Tier 1 benefits, you do not need to apply for Tier 2. If you exhaust Tier 1 by December 21, 2013, we will automatically add Tier 2 benefits to your claim. We cannot add Tier 2 to your claim before you exhaust Tier 1 benefits.
Regardless of any balance in your Emergency Unemployment Compensation claim, you only have until December 28, 2013 to receive payment of those funds.
If eligible, you must use all regular benefits before you can receive Tier 1 and then Tier 2 Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC). The table below shows the current payable amounts. Amounts and dates have varied in the past, based on legislation.
Benefit Type | Regular Benefits | EUC Tier 1 | EUC Tier 2 |
Payment Amounts | Up to 26 weeks at maximum benefit amount | 14 weeks or 54% of your regular claim's maximum benefit, whichever is less* | 14 weeks or 54% of your regular claim's maximum benefit, whichever is less* |
Key Dates | ---- | Must exhaust regular benefits by December 21, 2013. Available balance may be paid through December 28, 2013 |
Must exhaust Tier 1 benefits by December 21, 2013 Available balance may be paid through December 28, 2013 |
Funding | Paid by employer taxes | 100% federally funded | 100% federally funded |
* On March 1, 2013, mandatory federal spending cuts (known as "sequestration") went into effect. These spending cuts reduce both your weekly benefit and the total amount of EUC you may receive. From benefit week ending April 6, 2013, through September 28, 2013, payments were reduced by 10.7%. From benefit week ending October 5, 2013, through December 28, 2013, payments are reduced by 7.2%.

The sequel to "A Small Favor". The story continues after the assassination of Senator Lobe. With his security clearance severely compromised, the assassin heads deep into the blind zone to find a new identity .
Point and Click to explore the environment.
Double Click to Run
Zeebarf you make the best games.Especially the point and click one they are my favorites.They should add medals to all of your game.Keep up the good work.
Very cool game, story wasn't as gripping as I would have liked...but I think that's down to personal taste.
Great series! Five stars for a simple interface, quirky and funny moments, lovely scenery and a great ending for the assassin!
Speaking of the assasin, he definitely seems like the sort of guy who deserves a hot alien chick groupie! ^_^
It's really such a shame the kickstarter fell through, that would have been a wonderful reboot to an already excellent series. :(
ok art design and its ok for a point and click game

Look at this post 4 days ago. All has been said there
Good luck!
Media Temple!! Yeah!!
I'm using the Media Temple grid service right now, and it's a bit expensive, and honestly the database uptime disappoints me.
I would check out ANHosting.com, I got their two year plan right now and it's way cheaper than a year on Media Temple, and they offer a lot more (no problem so far). Both are good choices though.
Stay away from the "highly acclaimed" InMotionHosting though, don't ever go there. Word to the wise.
this company gives great different hosting plans, it's also cheap – and the most important thing that the control panel is easy to use.
www.godaddy.com have been with them almost 2yrs.. no problems lots of space very good customer service.. and once you sign into your account.. its all secured
host47.com its pretty good and it's offshore, great uptime so far..3 months i've been with them
Since I'm in the process of getting my own hosting setup rolling, I'm going to refrain from recommending anything just at the moment! Feel free to give me a nudge about it though.

Elizabethtown and Radcliff heard first readings of their operating budgets Monday as the two cities look to make adjustments for the new fiscal year.
Elizabethtown's budget will borrow nearly $1 million from reserves to offset costs of capital projects paid for through the general fund while Radcliff Mayor J.J. Duvall successfully lobbied for the removal of $1 million from reserves to pay off the outstanding debt on the Challenger Learning Center, which is being rented to the Regional Education Center.

Spread Um Out?
I'm thinking the Pats should spread the Chargers secondary out with Moss, and Stallworth's speed then throw underneath and up the middle to Welker, Watson, Morris, and Faulk. When the Chargers try and double either Welker or Watson go deep on them. If they go back to playing the deep pass try running Maroney on some stretch plays. I'd like to get some play action working but the Chargers front 7 is to fast to try to many delayed plays like that. I'd like to try and get Morris out in the flat...
Maybe throw it deep to Stallworth on the Patriots first or second offensive snap? Kind of like what the Patriots did to the Steelers :) Even if it's incomplete it might buy you some space for Watson and Welker to work in the short game. I'm not sure how much room Maroney's going to have running since they are tough to run are against. The great thing about using the type of spread the Patriots used against Minnesota last year is that NE has even better weapons for the job this year. Those new WR's should be even more effective especially in multiple WR sets. Morris would be good to use on some one RB sets because he's actually a somewhat strong runner and is also a very good receiver out of the backfield. Faulk is a very good reciever but he can't run as strongly as Morris, and while I think Maroney is for sure the best pure RB of the three he's not on their level as a receiver, yet. |

This is a great tool. The difference between the X-26 that law enforcement uses and the C model is not that much. The range is 15' for the C compared to 35' for the LEO model. I find I get a much higher compliance level when the fugitive thinks he might get tased. They all know you won't shoot them if they run, But tase them we will!

Great taser. This is a perfect tool for protection for those that do not like to carry "lethal" weapons. You can maintain a dose of voltage for up to 1 1/2 minutes. This give you penty of time to get away while the A$$-H$$$ us getting the voltage ride.

The difference between the LE Model and Civilian model is NOT the distance of the projectiles. That can be remedied simply by purchasing the cartridges. The MAIN difference is the supply of charge and the duration of the charge given to the suspect. The LE model generates more current each time the trigger is pulled and the initial last 5 seconds so that officers can subdue and then cuff the suspect. The civilian models are designed to be used and then "run away" as they produce charges lasting 15 - 30 seconds depending on the type of civilian taser purchased. There is a lot more to the tasers but they are a phenominal tool for both LE and Security and the compliance is almost immediate when a suspect recognizes the taser.

I like the x-26 better than the m-26 because it's obvious size, weight, and the fact that it also has L.E.D. lights to help illuminate your target. The L.E.D.s combined with the laser make this thing even more intimidating when looking at the buisiness end, that is of course if you have time to admire it before I deploy it.

School Trip to Tarragona
... of all things cheerleading related, I loved walking around the museum and looking at all of the pictures of these stunts but that is all I thought the tour entailed. Little did I know that we were then asked to build a tower of our own. Jordan and Megan (two of my roommates who were in my group for the trip) decided to inform the head Castell that I used to be a cheerleader so I was asked to be on the top of the tower. Don't worry I included pictures of it! Hope everything is good at ...
... the block in the rain at this stage, so decided to get back on the next tour bus and do the northern Barcelona route, which takes in the areas near Park Guell (another Gaudi creation) and the home of Barcelona Football Club amongst other attractions. Along the way, the wealth of architecture is mind-blowing and the city has a distinct modern, vibrant feel. At the conclusion of the tour on Passeig de Gracia we got off the ...
... afternoon (Sunday) we took a drive to Montserrat (30 miles away), or rather drove to the cable car station then made the final approach via the steep ascent. On arriving at the top, it was not what we had expected at all and turned out to be very modern and commercialised. However, we chose to queue up for one of the recommended 'must sees', the Black Virgin installed within the basilica, which must have taken the best part of two hours! At ...

The M14 rifle remains one of the oldest weapons still in service with the U.S. military.
Battle Rifle
The M14 is referred to as a "battle rifle." This term is given to weapons that fire full power rifle ammunition. The M14 first entered service with the U.S. military in 1957. The weapon was the standard issue U.S. rifle from 1959 until 1970. The M14 was also the rifle used for basic training by the U.S. Army and Marine Corps during that time period.
The M14 has largely been replaced by the M16 rifle. However, the M14 is still used on the frontlines by the U.S. Army, Marine Corps and Coast Guard. It is also widely used as a ceremonial weapon by U.S. soldiers. The M14 has provided the basis for the M21 and M25 sniper rifles.
Development and Use
Development of the M14 rifle began shortly after the Second World War and continued throughout the Korean War in the 1950s. The rifle was created in an attempt to replace four different weapon systems – the M1 Garand, the M1 Carbine, the M3 Grease Gun, and the M1918 Browning Automatic Rifle. U.S. military officials wanted a rifle that was durable in hostile environments and provided deadly accuracy.
The M14 rifle was widely used during the Vietnam Conflict of the 1960s. After the competing M16 rifle was introduced in 1970, the M14 took on a new role with the U.S. military as a sniper rifle. The M14 rifle's accuracy over long ranges made it an ideal weapon for marksmen. Modified versions of the M14 rifle have been used by snipers in Afghanistan and Iraq. These M14 rifles have been modified to include scopes and fibreglass stocks. The M14 rifle is also on regular display at military funerals, parades and other ceremonies.
