Neil Diamond, Andrew Bailey offer a few musical surprises at Fenway
|04.21.13 at 12:20 am ET
Neil Diamond was the first musical surprise at Fenway Park Saturday afternoon, for even the Red Sox.
The 72-year-old hit-maker decided that he and his wife, Katie, heard the news that the final suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings had been apprehended and decided to make a trip across the country to pay his respects.
Diamond boarded a plane in Los Angeles early Saturday morning headed for Boston, where the couple landed close to noontime. Once off the plane, the singer called the Fenway Park switchboard with the intention of passing along one, simple request.
He wanted to sing his song, 'Sweet Caroline,' in person, at Fenway, during the eighth inning. A recording wouldn't do on this day, one which was largely devoted to recovering from the bombings.
The answer, of course, was 'absolutely,' leading Diamond to his performance in right field. (To listen to the moment, click here.)
One half inning, there came another surprise musical interlude.
As Red Sox closer Andrew Bailey ran in from the bullpen, the Fenway speakers started blasting 'Shipping Up To Boston,' which, of course, was the well-known intro music of former Red Sox game-ender Jonathan Papelbon.
Normally, such an act would be relief pitching sacrilege. But not in this case. Papelbon would surely understand.
'That was something [Jarrod Saltalamacchia] and I discussed this morning,' Bailey said. 'I said, 'Let's do it.' That ninth inning was a part of the game the fans really enjoyed for a long time. It was just something we decided to do and the way they erupted was unbelievable. It was just a good day.'
The reliever (who wasn't sure if he would continue with the intro music) added, 'I don't know what it was for or anything, but for the fans for that minute it was a little extra '¦. It was definitely for the city. It was a staple for so many years here, I just wanted to do it."

History of St. Petersburg Museum: Rumyantsev Mansion
By Robert Orttung and Christopher Walker
Published: February 7, 2014 (Issue # 1796)
The unprecedented price tag of the Sochi Winter Olympics — an estimated $51 billion — far outstrips that of any past Winter Games. The Sochi Games' bloated costs are widely understood to be a result of massive graft that is ending up in the hands of a small Kremlin-connected circle.
This sort of high-profile corruption should receive serious journalistic scrutiny, but in Putin's Russia state-run media avoid coverage of how these enormous resources have vanished. For most of the Russian public, this issue and others, such as the Kremlin's recent $15 billion aid package to Ukraine taken out of the National Reserve Fund, are not a subject of discussion because they do not receive critical attention in the mass media.
Despite the Internet, the Kremlin is finding new ways to use its media to stay in power.
The state-run media treatment of the Sochi Games' huge levels of corruption speaks to the ongoing ability of the authorities to adapt their media tactics and prevent independent news and analysis from reaching much of the population.
Related: Putin Shuts State News Agency
Despite the rise of new media outlets that are generally far more diverse and competitive than they used to be, authoritarian regimes are finding alarmingly effective ways to use media to help themselves stay in power. Media outlets controlled formally or informally by the state have become necessary to the durability of undemocratic governments around the world like Russia. The messages that such media pump out — and the public apathy that they promote — help to keep regime elites from defecting and prevent alternative power centers from rising within society.
The media outlets in question may be owned and run by the state, or they may be nominally private but, in reality, under government control. Most authoritarian regimes employ both their own state media and private media to do their bidding.

A Solution for Michigan and Florida
Democrats in Florida and Michigan are out of luck. Florida has given up on holding a presidential revote, while a revote in Michigan is "...
Democrats in Florida and Michigan are out of luck. Florida has given up on holding a presidential revote, while a revote in Michigan is "on life support."
Allow me to suggest a solution to their problems -- and, unlike when I raised the idea of online voting last week, this time I mean it.
Permit Obama and Clinton to campaign in the two states for a specified period of time -- perhaps a few weeks. Then, when the time is up, don't hold elections. Instead, conduct telephone polls asking respondents in Michigan and Florida which candidate they favor. Use the results of those polls to proportionately divvy up delegates to the Democratic National Convention.
This approach would avoid the financial and logistical concerns associated with revotes. For a tiny fraction of the cost of holding elections, surveys could sample far more people than a standard media poll. Polls with 10,000 respondents would cut the margin of sampling error to 1%.
As this primary season has demonstrated, polling is an inexact science. Pollsters in Michigan and Florida would face thorny methodological questions. How do you screen for something akin to likely voters for an election that will never take place?
However, if the Clinton and Obama campaigns came to an agreement on the methodological issues (perhaps with some mediation from the Florida Democratic Party or the Democratic National Committee), it would be hard for anyone to argue that the results were unfair.
The biggest risk to a polling solution probably would be public relations. Many people don't understand how a sample of 1,000 people can measure the views of 100 million. Michiganders and Floridians might still feel excluded.
That's not a trivial problem. Revotes came under consideration largely for public relations reasons.
But look at the alternatives. Not seating the delegations would anger the voters of Florida and Michigan by excluding them from the nomination process. A contentious fight over whether to seat the delegations from the two states would undermine the eventual nominee. If the delegations were seated based on the flawed January contests and Clinton won the nomination because of it, that's an even bigger mess.
The other option I'm hearing is splitting the delegations 50-50 between Obama and Clinton or coming up with some other split (presumably with Clinton getting a slightly bigger share). An arbitrary split doesn't reflect the views of the voters in the two states. People in Florida and Michigan would realize that.
As hard as it is to believe, the best option for the Democratic Party may be to hope that the voters of Michigan and Florida will trust a poll -- or at least prefer a poll to being excluded from one of the most interesting elections of my lifetime.

The only thing more epic with the Purphoros-man would be Elspeth, Sun's Champion .
Love it, good work bud the only thing I can see is maybe get one more land in there. That's it !
Thats a great sideboard card against midrange decks maybe. Aside from the Stormbreaths there does not appear to be much to fight in the deck itself that would yeild a great number of bees to warrant main boardness.
It would be awesome but even the hornet queen seems like a stretch despite being perfect for the deck.
Make the Sideboard when the deck is complete and I can't trade my xenagos because I need them for decks sorry man.
Ya sorry despise. The best flyer is Wingmate Roc .
I would move the deicides to the side. Maybe have some flying?
Xenagos, the Reveler and Arbor Colossus are strong includes. I also don't think the Rattleclaw Mystic is all that. Maybe sub them out ?
See the unwritten can get you purphoros and the queen so maybe look into that some more as well as was suggested

WASHINGTON, D.C. | U.S. Sen. David Vitter (R-La.) today introduced an amendment to the Transportation and Housing and Urban Development Appropriations bill that would disqualify violent criminals from receiving federal housing assistance.
The Senate will vote on this amendment this week.
"It's reasonable to say that if you're a violent criminal, federal taxpayers should not have to pay for your housing," Vitter said. "This amendment will also protect those innocent folks who need federal housing assistance from these violent criminals, rather than congregating criminals together with the innocent folks who deserve better."

Add Wife To Texas Ex-Fruitcake Bakery Controller's Case
Get Breaking News First
DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM/AP) — A federal grand jury has added a former Collin Street Bakery's controller's wife to an indictment that accused him of embezzling nearly $17 million from the famed Texas fruitcake bakery.
The Dallas grand jury returned a 22-count superseding indictment Wednesday against Sandy and Kay Jenkins of Corsicana.
Sandy Jenkins already pleaded not guilty to 10 mail-fraud counts. The new indictment adds three money-laundering counts against him and charges him and his wife with a money-laundering conspiracy count, six counts of aiding and abetting money laundering and two of making a false statement to a financial institution.
The former executive is accused of writing almost 900 fraudulent checks on the bakery account from 2005 through June 2013 to support a lavish lifestyle. Indictments allege Jenkins spent the money on luxury vehicles, a second home in Santa Fe, N.M., some 60 watches, more than 500 bottles of wine, jewelry, and other items.
A message with their defense attorney Wednesday wasn't returned.
Corsicana is about 55 miles southeast of Dallas.

I stayed with my 3 kids for four nights June 13-June 17th. We loved it. The staff was great and were good about answering our questions. The rooms were cleaned good. The breakfast was awesome. There were some problems though. They didn't allow pool balls for the pool which made no sense. For the entire hotel they have the laundry room on the eighth floor and only two washers and two dryers. Check in is at 3:00 and I didn't arrive until almost 5 and was told my room still wasn't ready. On my third night we were awoken by an alarm saying to evacuate because there was a fire. We ran out of the rooms and were confused since the people in the dining area were still eating like there was no problem. We were not told that it was a false alarm by the staff. Another guest had checked with the lobby and informed the rest of us. Housekeeping didn't clean my room for one of our stays and I had to call to get service.

Scott at front desk was very professional and helpful. I was looking for a place near the airport for one night and with shuttle service to and from airport and not too expensive. The shuttle service also drove me to dinner and picked me up after.
Okay 5.6
Clientele....there was an aggressive panhandler roaming the grounds. Whether they were or not, some guests seemed to be living there semi-permanently. Although the rooms have been redone, the motel seems dated. The clock was difficult to figure out as to how to set it. There seemed to be people roaming around all evening.

The hotel was excellent in almost every aspect. Spacious room, good location,good breakfast, a nice Swimming Pool and Jacuzzi. Good parking space. Really clean and pleasant.
There was something missing that is of the most importance and a reason for not coming back to this nice hotel. Although in the room is written don't leave valuables out of a safe box, there was no safe box in the room, neither in the reception.Although they say there is free WI FI in the hotel it is very difficult to connect, and if you want a better connection, you must pay almost $6.00 per day.
Excellent 10.0
The room is not very spacious, but it is very clean. More importantly, they have free breakfast, and the breakfast is good.

The location is perfect. There are plenty of restaurants, shopping, and things to see all very close to the hotel. It also really helped that the apartment came with a parking spot in their garage.
The apartment was great, but nothing near what the photos on the website advertised. The apartment also could have used more cooking utensils (pots, pans, etc.)Overall I thought this hotel was excellent. Again, the apartment was not quite what the website advertised; but for the price, location, and overall experience I do not think this hotel could be beat.

Bea seeks open source accommodation
At face value, it might appear that BEA Systems has its work cut out for it competing with free, open source alternatives to its own commercially available WebLogic Server application server platform.
Red Hat still mulling over possible Exchange competitor
Red Hat has shed a little more light on how it intends to develop the directory and certificate management software it bought from America Online's Netscape division. But the company remains undecided as to whether it will commercialise some of the other assets it acquired in the deal, including messaging and collaboration software that analysts say could form the basis of an open-source alternative to Microsoft Exchange Server.
Pdc '05 coverage recap
People attending an industry conference staged by Microsoft wouldn't ordinarily go to a session that touts programs for the rival Linux operating system. But that's what happened here this week
New Notes shows IBM 'is serious'
New administration features include a Linux-based Web Administration client and tighter integration with Web services standards, as well as back-end hooks to IBM's DB2, WebSphere Application Server and WebSphere Portal. DB2 is an option that offers much faster processing because it is a relational database and Notes is not. IBM estimates the new release will allow many customers to run up to 50% more users per server, requiring up to 25% less capacity for the same workload.
Debconf5 DVDs now available
I am now releasing DVD videos of the Debconf5 sessions (plus Debian Day and some extras) in PAL format. NTSC format discs will be ready in a few days. I am starting to burn discs for those who have already ordered, and will continue doing so as orders come in.
Microsoft looks to spread authentication technology to Firefox ...
Looking to ease the way customers manage their digital identities, Microsoft has begun working to integrate its InfoCard authentication technology with Internet Explorer and is in discussions with the Firefox and Safari browser developers to have them include the technology on their platforms. According to Microsoft officials, InfoCard integration could show up in Internet Explorer 7.0 even though InfoCard is currently not on the feature list. The goal is to improve security and privacy on the Internet using the InfoCard model, which puts users in control of their personal identity information and would eliminate the need for user names and passwords to sign into a Web site. "We are still working on if there is enough time to get this done" for Internet Explorer 7, says Michael Stephenson, Microsoft's group product manager for Windows Server. "We expect many different applications, smart apps, Web apps and browsers, to use InfoCard. Our own browser will take advantage of it."
Putting the 'e' in governance
With a host of deployments in various state government departments, Oracle has made substantial inroads in the Indian e-governance scene, says Venkatesh Ganesh
Tax collects Linux for open source analytics
Despite its strong ties to proprietary software vendors, the Australian Taxation Office has finally dipped its toes into open source by establishing a Linux-based system for information analytics. Tax has had a Teradata warehouse for 10 years but the change program initiated by chief knowledge officer Philip Hind in November last year is a "series of activities to enhance the ATO's ability to collect and analyse data", assistant commissioner of information management John Body told Computerworld. As a result the ATO invested in Teradata's Warehouse Miner, SAS Enterprise Miner, and hired CSIRO's principal computer scientist for enterprise data mining Dr Graham Williams who pioneered open source analytics for organizations like the Health Insurance Commission and NRMA.

Crackdown forces computer shops to close
In letters addressed to Manzano and NBI Director Reynaldo Wycoco, the businessmen said law enforcers refused to include government agencies using unlicensed software in their operations. Manzano's nationwide crackdown complies with the demands of international anti-piracy groups, which have kept the Philippines in its world blacklist of countries violating intellectual property rights (IPR).
Microsoft talks to the enemy
Bill Hilf runs Microsoft's open source lab at its Seattle Headquarters, overseeing research projects which involve testing Linux and interoperability functions. Formerly a Linux programmer for IBM, Mr Hilf says his role is to give an "objective" view of Linux. But he has no qualms about making sure Microsoft comes out on top. "My goal is to help Microsoft understand the phenomenon of open source software and improve our products because of that."

IT@School Project Director Biju Prabhakar has said that the objective of the government was to install free software in all the schools in the state within the next five years.
He's plugged into Honduran needs
A computer professional then teaching at Middlesex Community College in Bedford and Lowell, Reposa journeyed to Honduras on a simple mission: to bring computers and computer know-how to schools that have little of both. Inspired by the results of that monthlong trip, in which he donated computers to two schools and volunteered as a computer teacher, Reposa has embarked on a long-term effort to continue that work in Honduras and possibly one day, in other poor nations...Reposa said he was able to make full use of even many of the antiquated computers by outfitting them with a Linux-based operating system

This is a very detailed tutorial about how to use the new SuSE 10.0 to set up a web, mail, and ftp server.
Abridged version of Linux-based education CDs
Amidst raging controversies over the selection of Operating Systems for computer education in schools, the IT@School authorities are on the move to introduce an abridged version of the Linux-based resource CDs for the promotion of free software through the project.
Apps Migrate To Open Source
Siegenia-Aubi KG had to reboot its Compaq servers about every 14 days until it decided to chuck Windows for Linux. But that meant the German maker of sound-insulating ventilators, as well as windows, doors, and room-ventilation equipment, would run all its enterprise applications on a relatively new open-source platform. The open-source movement has increased dramatically in recent years. To keep up, enterprise-application vendors--Manhattan Associates, Oracle, SAP, Siebel Systems, SSA Global Technologies--are adapting their software to run in these environments.
Multi-core licensing and virtualization promote open source
More flexible licensing is one of the biggest draws open source software has for enterprise users, and the current shift toward dual-core and multi-core processors and use of virtualization technologies may give Linux and open source software even more of an advantage, say analysts and open source project leaders.
Microsoft Struggles in South Korea
It is not certain that the Fair Trade Commission (FTC) will rule against Microsoft but experts predict that the possibility is high. The dominant status of the Windows operating system, a flagship product of Microsoft, is also under threat following the strong emergence in Korea of an open-source alternative called Linux. The country's love affair with Linux is being pushed by the government, which aims to become a software powerhouse by diluting the monopolistic status of Windows.

Nike Basketball Summer 2014 Kids Collection in Laser Crimson/Turquoise
May 12th, 2014 by Brendan Dunne | 17 comments
Pinstripe pack? The official info on this new Nike Basketball set for the summer, which includes the LeBron 11, KD 6, and Kobe 9 Elite all in GS exclusive colorways, doesn't have any sort of mention of that theme. In fact there's no mention of a theme at all, despite the fact that the trio have some obvious color and graphic choices that unite them. Continue reading to see the full range of laser crimson and turquoises releases and watch for them to officially release on Nikestore on May 15th, although other retailers will likely let theirs go a little beforehand.

PNAS. 2014; published ahead of print May 12, 2014, doi:10.1073/pnas.1319030111. http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2014/05/08/1319030111.abstract. Accessed May 20, 2014.
The authors report on their meta-analysis of 225 studies of undergraduate science, technology, engineering and mathematics courses in which active learning approaches were compared to traditional lectures. Scores on exams and failure rates of the students were compared. The authors report, "…average examination scored improved by about 6% in active learning sections, and ….students in classes with traditional lecturing were 1.5 times more likely to fail than student in classes with active learning" (page 1 or 6).

Transportation Sec. LaHood: Volvo's first U.S.-made wheel loader a sign of confidence in American economy, workers
| March 26, 2013 |
Last week, we watched as the first American made Volvo wheel loader (an L60G) rolled off the line at the company's expanded Shippensburg, Pennsylvania plant. As we noted in our report, Federal Highway Administrator Victor Mendez was in attendance also.
Yesterday, U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood took to his blog to discuss Volvo's decision. Of course he notes that both he and Mendez are happy to see roadbuilding equipment being manufactured here in the U.S. But LaHood also took some time to discuss what Volvo's U.S. wheel loader means for the country's economic prospects.
"Administrator Mendez also pointed out that we are now in the middle of economic recovery as we work our way out of the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. Unemployment is now at its lowest level in four years. Companies are hiring," LaHood wrote.
