According to the pilot, the airplane was in the initial takeoff climb from runway 32, when the engine lost power. He attempted a landing on a freeway median, but the airplane collided with a sign and fence posts. During an investigation, the instrument panel toggle switch, marked 'ignition,' would not stay in the up (on) position. Removal of the switch revealed that its plastic back casing was broken with no impact damage or deformation noted in the surrounding structure. The mechanic, who removed the switch, stated that it was installed excessively tight on the panel. After being removed from the panel, the switch would stay in the up (on) position. The engine was then successfully started and operationally checked.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

The Settlers is a series of RTS/empire-building computer games from Blue Byte Software, which premiered on the Amiga in 1993.Missions in the game start with each player controlling a castle, the immediate area around it, and some basic resources like wood and stone in storage. Players use these resources to build basic structures for gathering more wood and stone to make more buildings. These extra resources are used for construction of guard huts, which expand your territory, in turn opening up more space for construction of more buildings—especially ones that produce other basic materials like raw minerals (iron, gold, coal). Yet more buildings are then erected to grow or forage for food to feed miners, process raw minerals into tools for your workers and weapons for soldiers, brew beer to make everyone happy, and so forth. The eventual goal is to expand your territory enough to establish borders with your opponents, then assault their guard posts to steal away their territory, eventually bringing down their main castle.Space within your territory is limited, and some structures take up a lot of space, so the decision to place a structure in a specific spot can have a great impact. In addition, smart placement of roads to connect these buildings can dramatically cut down on the time it takes for resources to travel from their production sites to their processing sites and storage facilities, and failure to cut down travel times means losing the advantage. This makes the series unique among RTS games: it focuses on logistics and resource management rather than simple military might. In fact, in the first game it was often possible to win a level without any meaningful military engagement, as the AI would tend to eventually run its economy into the ground.A second unique quality is its "high-level management" style of play, which eschewed a traditional Command And Conquer Economy in favour of a system where the player decided what buildings were to be built, what enemy structures attacked and what the transport priorities for various commodities should be, and the peasants carried out those orders to the best of their abilities. You do not have any direct control over any of your settlers.The first two games are slow as molasses. Starting wood production, for instance, means designating a spot for a woodcutter's hut and hooking it up to a road. A leveler will then walk over from the headquarters and prepare the ground. A builder will then walk over and add planks to the hut as a bucket chain of carriers brings them in. Once the builder's done, a woodcutter will walk over to occupy the hut, walk over to a nearby tree, cut it down (then strip off the branches in the first game), carry it back and leave it in front of the hut. Carriers will bring it over to a sawmill, which will turn it into one unit of planks, fresh and usable once the carriers get it where it needs to go. Matches will take hours. The games will frustrate sane people (one review in an Amiga magazine provided a recipe for a tuna melt, so that players would have something to do while they waited for their orders to be carried out) but have a strong cult following, especially in their native Germany.2007's The Settlers: Rise of an Empire has its own page.Not to be confused with the board game Settlers Of Catan.
This series embodies the following tropes:

Tomorrow is our 22nd wedding anniversary, and to celebrate, we are going to take a circular trip through the Quebec side of the Ottawa River towards Montreal (in the Outaouais region), then cross the river to Hawkesbury (on the Ontario side) to celebrate its 150th birthday, and then we will return to Ottawa via Eastern Ontario.
Some of the places we plan to stop at are Thurso, Papineauville, and Montebello on the Quebec side, and Hawkesbury (of course), Vankleek Hill (they have a special museum there), and various towns along the way back.
For those not familiar with the area, let me assure you that it is very scenic — as our pictures will show — and historic in nature.
As usual, I am packing my notebook, pencil, and camera, and will gather information for the various publications I write for, and for the blog.
It's supposed to be fair tomorrow - sunny and warm - so here's hoping for a nice trip, and a lovely supper!

Blink--or, more likely, doze--and you will miss it, this tiny, beautiful oasis in the middle of an otherwise barren wasteland. For a moment--a precious, frustrating moment to be treasured in a movie that flaunts its disposability--Cage reminds us of how good an actor he can be, when he attempts to transcend the trash in which he so often wallows these days. Wearing a smarmy smirk, a shiny suit, and a glint in his wide-open eyes, Cage, playing Randall "Memphis" Raines, chats up a Ferrari salesman in a high, preening, mocking tone of voice, insisting he doesn't want to be one more L.A. "weenie" pulling up to a burger stand in a fire-red sports car. "What else ya got in the warehouse?" Memphis wonders, no longer able to contain the car thief within. The only thing he doesn't do is wring his hands and lick his lips. For that split second, Cage looks like a man unhinged, a jive-talking dude cruising for a good time at the world's expense--Face/Off's Castor Troy out for a joy ride.
But Gone in 60 Seconds is not an actor's movie--it's barely a movie at all, more like a thousand car commercials spliced together in an hour--and Cage instantly retreats within himself. The fire in his eyes is extinguished; the lilt in his voice goes mute. He's back to playing human prop in yet another vacuous thrill-seeker produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, who makes movies the way politicians deliver speeches--loudly, with absolutely nothing of substance beneath the burnished surface. There's little time for flesh and blood in a movie about the theft of 50 cars in a 24-hour period. The sound of a human voice simply can't compete with the magnificent roar of a 1967 Shelby Mustang GT 500--otherwise known as "Eleanor," the object of Memphis' desires and his white whale, to boot. The actors are superfluous: Mercedes-Benz, Cadillac, Aston Martin, and Porsche should have received top billing.
Cage tries his damnedest to make something of this hollow, cynical vehicle, which is less a Mustang than a souped-up Pacer. As the reformed car thief who now teaches children how to steer their tiny scooters, Memphis wears a look of resigned unhappiness. He's given up the life, as per Mommy's (Grace Zabriskie) orders, but is easily lured back in once his brother Kip (Giovanni Ribisi) botches a job for British gangster Raymond Calitri (Christopher Eccleston), who threatens to kill Kip unless he gets his 50 cars. "I didn't do it for the money," Memphis says fondly of his boosting days. "I did it for the cars. I'd boost her and blast to Palm Springs, instantly feeling better about being me. But I didn't like what I'd become." Still, it's not enough to keep him from bailing out Kip; a brother's blood is as thick as 20W-50.
Release Date:
June 9
Written by Scott Rosenberg
Memphis then spends the next hour assembling the old gang to complete the job Kip bungled: wily veteran Otto (Robert Duvall, his days of thunder turned to spring showers), old flame Sara "Sway" Wayland (Angelina Jolie, whose blond, matted hair does all of her acting), Donny (Chi McBride, as comic relief), The Sphinx (a mute Vinnie Jones), and Atley (Will Patton, resurrecting his Armageddon pose). They're Memphis' A-Team: In this PG-13 outing, the most damage anyone suffers is a surface wound.
Tailing Memphis like a pesky rash is Det. Roland Castlebeck (Delroy Lindo), a cop who always regrets that he never put away Memphis back in the day. Letting the car thief elude him all those years is the one disappointment in an otherwise stellar career. Castlebeck follows Memphis' every move. He somehow knows exactly which cars he's going to steal and the precise moment when he will make his move. Castlebeck is indeed a superior cop: He apparently has ESP.
That a film in need of a single sentence of plot description would take so long to get going is baffling. Director Dominic Sena (whose sole film credit is 1993's Kalifornia, prompting one to wonder about the seven-year gap on his résumé) spends the first hour idling its engine with needless exposition and vapid character development. "All his life [Kip] looked up to you; he wanted to be you," Mama Raines says to Memphis. "Now, he is you." Two hours later, near the movie's woefully familiar showdown in a apocalyptic warehouse, Will Patton gives nearly the same speech to Kip--as though the filmmakers are certain we're so slow, we've yet to catch up by film's end. Sena is so convinced he's made a meaningful movie about the depth of brotherly love that the car-stealing scenes become boringly repetitive and, finally, incidental; they're background fodder, which surely is the opposite intention.
The 1974 film--directed by, written by, and starring the late H.B. Halicki--upon which Sena's "remake" is based (without credit) is infamous, at least on the extant drive-in circuit, for a single car chase that lasts 40 minutes and results in the destruction of nearly 100 cars. No doubt, that's the stuff of which Bruckheimer's dampest reveries are made. It's right up the producer's narrow alley: a film in which plot and exposition are nonexistent, unnecessary, eradicated by a single, never-ending pursuit and the accompanying wreckage. One could easily apply that description to the litany of vapid slam-bang-'em-ups that litter Bruckheimer's résumé: Top Gun, Bad Boys, The Rock, Con Air, Armageddon, the latter of which was the most gloriously propagandist film made since Leni Riefenstahl capped her lens.

UK, 1969 (MIFF 1971, Programme 4)
Director: Ken Loach
Billy is a loner. His older brother bullies him, and his good timing mother passes him off to a succession of one night uncles. At the age of 15 years, he is on the brink of an aimless existence of petty pilfering and wasted weeks of schooling, which he realises only too well will lead to some dreary dead end job. Wandering in the woodlands near his Yorkshire village, he finds a young kestrel hawk and becomes intrigued with the bird's grace, its power and freedom. He steals a book on falconry and proceeds with a quiet dedication to train the bird, which he calls Kes.
The bird is Billy's avenue to freedom and a brief vision of another kind of life.

Sun pulls MySQL into its orbit
Sun Microsystems is to pay $1bn for open source database developer MySQL. MySQL's open source databases are widely used online, but Sun is hoping to increase their use in more traditional IT and enterprise settings. The database is used by many websites - 50,000 copies a day are downloaded. MySQL will be integrated into Sun's …
How is a company that gives everything away for free worth $1bn? The only way to make money is from support. That will come as a shock to some people who haven't dealt with the 'free software' lot before.
'Hi, I downloaded your free database and now I have a problem'
Sure, we'd be happy to help, but it'll cost you $1000 to speak to support for 15 mins
If Sun is paying for MYSQL...
Does that mean they'll be charging for it, too? Presumably if they're paying a not unsubstantial sum for it, they'll be reluctant to keep it free, won't they?
Paid for support for Free Software
This absolutely fits in with the direction much of Sun's software has been moving: the software is free, but you can buy support for money. I can well imagine that Sun will make this acquisition profitable by offering:
Paid for support
Publications (cookbooks, etc)
At the same time, the existing MySQL on Lintel customer base may get to see huge performance improvements from MySQL on Solaris/Niagara. And MySQL on Solaris/ZFS on a X4500 could become the definitive poor man's data warehouse. And then you imagine a bit further ahead: MySQL on a stripped back Solaris base as a SQL appliance (following a similar train of thought to the Nexenta storage appliance).
Of course, we've seen Sun acquisitions which didn't take - Cobalt springs to mind - but this one brings a large new potential customer base. It also gives impetus to the Solaris x86 OEM deals with IBM, Dell et al - will customers want to run Sun MySQL on RedHat Linux on HP server, or Sun MySQL on Sun Solaris on IBM server, or Sun MySQL on Sun Solaris on Sun server?
I look forward to hearing Ashlee and friends chewing this over on the next Open Season.
Oracle already owns InnoDB
How does this fit in with Oracle owning InnoDB (one of the table types available in MySQL)? Is MySQL going to get pulled in two different directions now, or abandon InnoDB in favour of Falcon?
mySQL has had paid for options for years...
... so Sun must think that it can make even more people want to pay for it. Being backed by Sun, gives mySQL the backing/support of a large corporate that a lot of companies want to see, before they will commit to it - If they'll commit to it, they'll want it supporting = $$$ for Sun where they would have gone elsewhere i.e. Oracle, Sybase (Yes, I'm aware mySQL isn't in the same league as those two)
MySQL is open source, so will, in some form, remain free in both senses.
Ain't Free
It ain't free. Well, not completely.
It's free to download and free to use if you're not deploying it commercially.
Otherwise they do a range of webserver and CPU licenses, costing a few hundred quid upwards. Not sure how adept they are at chasing up unlicensed users mind you.
@If Sun is paying for MYSQL...
It's GPL, so someone could branch it and keep developing in the unlikely event that Sun closed the source.
Anyway, people could just switch to the far-superior PostgreSQL and the world would be a better place.
How to make money from FOSS
It's not just about support. MySQL give away the basic package but have a number of enterprise products they'll happily sell you as well as support and training etc.
This is excellent news: 1. it keeps MySQL out of the clutches of Oracle (who would certainly just kill it) 2. maybe Sun will develop better multi-threaded support (e.g. non-blocking slave replication updates) to "leverage" the Niagra chips etc. 3. gives Sun more incentive to optimise Solaris x86 to displace Linux (not that that would be a good thing, but improving Sol86 further would do no harm)
Dual licencing
For those concerned how MySQL could be worth $1bn when it "gives its products away for free"..
You are overlooking the fact that MySQL is available under a dual licence. Those who incorporate MySQL into a product distributed under a non-free licence must pay for the Enterprise edition of MySQL. Similarly those who want support and a more traditional relationship with their database supplier (MySQL) can pay for the Enterprise Edition.
If you do not distribute your product or distribute it under the GPL then you can use the free (in both senses of the word) version of MySQL.
Sounds like a good strategic mode
Haven't looked into the valuation or anything, but the move itself sounds like good strategy.
Hope it's executed well. :)
I wonder if Oracle are getting worried?
First off, all the major vendors offer free versions of their database products and then make money on the grown up versions and support. MySQL is no different in this respect.
It'll be interesting to see how Sun spin this with regard to Oracle as they really don't want to upset Larry and lose all those high-end server sales that Oracle drives.
I suspect they will position MySQL in the lower segment well away from having any impact on Oracle DB sales,
I use MySQL quite a lot and hope Sun look after it properly, especially keeping a reasonable parity with the dual licenses in terms of functionality and fixes.
I don't think Oracle will lose too much sleep as MySQL isn't really a competitor once you get a reasonably high transaction rate. On the other hand a lot of companies need less database power than they think!
No change ....
This makes no real difference to me as a MySQL user\implementor ... I can download it and use it for free and where I've put it in a client site and need some support then I can pay for it.
They seem to have paid way over the odds but that ain't a first.
Making Money From MySQL
MySQL AB made money from the traditional FOSS methods. Support, training etc.
They also came up with a novel way of making money from their development cycle.
If you wanted something that they did not offer then you could wait for them to develop it, or pay them to develop it for you. Several features made their way into the MySQL code base because someone was prepared to fork over the cash for a developer.
Re: Ain't free
Yes, it is, if you want to follow the GPL:
good synergy...
imagine a 64bit mysql backend running on a 64cpu sunfire box with a 2tb distributed mysql cluster RAM cache up front serving the indexes... wire it up with low latency dolphin sci interconnects and an optimise the whole shebang to run on solaris....
then imagine a cluster of those!!!!!
Not a bad buy
As others have stated MySQL is not free for corporate use. Having it in the LAMP stack is a fantastic way of crowbarring their way in.
Case in point: In my last job, another team used it as a backend for customised x86 boxes that went into shops, a few thousand of them. We sold these for a couple of grand. When I realised they were using MySQL I pointed out the licensing costs, management panicked, and phoned them up for a quote.
As each box was deemed a server, we got quoted around £600 *each*, a quarter of the whole unit price. This got knocked down substantially, but not enough. So we simply reengineered it to use sqlite, which was a better fit anyway (we didn't do anything fancy, just plain SQL)
I imagine there is a large seam of gold waiting should Sun go hunting for unpaid MySQL installations.
How many databases are required?
A standard full install of Solaris 10 already includes Mysql, Postgres and Sqlite. I wonder if Richard is going to get an offer that is impossible to refuse?
Why worry about downloading?
Sun now has a now bought all the licenses they need for the low-end side of their utility computing model.
I really don't think it will be much longer (3, 4 years) before may small to mid-size web projects simply lease DB space from companies like Sun and connect over the internet -- or just across the colo.
For me, it would mean not managing drivespace for backups, when is it time to buy another server, how to balance RAM between different applications, etc. Just rent capacity from high-performance, optimized database servers.
The developers at work, on their side plate, already have one project this year of moving much of our routine image storage and resultant bandwidth off to Amazon S3.
And MySQL has a huge role to fill without becoming Postgres or Oracle or Sybase -- and my background is largely MS SQL & Sybase (both before and after the split), and I'm doing some Postgres tuning this week. But for the last year or two I've done a lot of MySQL. So I've played with many of the rdms's and find they all have advantages and disadvantages.
For databases that need more flexibility then SQLite, but aren't that sophisticated to need the features of Postgres...I find MySQL easier to setup and tune then Postgres.
For anyone with a ten or twenty million and would like to start a database utility company, fell free to hire me :)
Someone please think of the children
Can this deal get us check constraints and selects in triggers? Because if so I would be a much happier DBA.
Wot about Postgres
According to this rumor mill site http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/11/17/sun_solaris_postgres/ Sun has already committed to PostGres.
RE: Dunstan Vavasour
Sounds a lot like the old Sun litany of "Solaris on SPARC and nothing else"! So, you're suggesting Sun concentrates on pushing MySQL on Solaris and upsets the main MySQL customer-base, namely Linux users? The purchase only makes sense if Sun keeps making money out of MySQL, and to do so they have to keep the Linux users buying it because the MySQL on Solaris 10 on anything market is just not big enough by itself.
Oracle will probably feel safe in the enterprise space, but with M$ SQL eating them from the low-end upwards they'll probably not be too happy with Sun giving more muscle to another low-end competitor. It will be interesting to see Oracle's response, especially given Larry's intentions on the Linux market. M$ will probably be smiling - they probably view Sun's embrace of MySQL as the kiss of death to what was becoming an irritation in the low-end space.
Mind you, this is a much gutsier move than the StorageTek fiasco, and done right (i.e., without annoying the other hardware vendors that provide 99% of the servers that commercial MySQL is run on, or the Linux distributors) it could actually make Sun some money. Hopefully enough for the move to Itanium when they abandon SPARC/Rock/Niagara! ;)
I'll have the jacket with the "Schwartz lied and SPARC died!" logo, please....
Bit prickly this.
I'm a bit jittery about this.
I used to own a couple of Cobalt RaQ 3 servers a number of years ago and the purchase of Cobalt Networks by Sun for a £4 billion was seen as a good thing. They were going to develop the app code and build the product line. After all those pretty little blue box's were piled high in data centre's that world over.
Problem was that pretty much as soon as Cobalt was in Suns hands the software updates stopped dead and development of the application code died. Sun released a couple more servers under the RaQ name and that was it. It didn't take long for the market to move to blade servers and the whole Cobalt line up was EOL and buried, gone forever. They did open source the code which has morphed into BlueQuartz but that's hardly the greatest achievement possible with a billion dollar+ investment.
Now I know that this situation is different. I hope that Sun need MySQL more than they needed Cobalt and that I'm worrying about the sort of thing that Oracle would do to MySQL not Sun, but...

No IPO and everyone's happy
The owners of MySQL wanted to sell their well-marketed piece of shit anyway, Sun needs customers and users will happily continue to use a piece of poo. Plus ça change...
Meanwhile Sun is also getting into bed with Postgres (which it can't buy)cf. Postgresql.org news-

I like PostgreSQL
I'm not a database expert and therefore when I need to use one I prefer it be as "correct" in its implementation as possible. It's not that I'm going to hammer it, but I prefer that if there are faults or problems with SQL that I can lay the blame squarely on my programming and not some esoteric behaviour of the database. I also want the database to be strict and slap me if I write bad queries.
I have had very good experiences with PostgreSQL, mainly on Windows. It has an MSI installer plus all the bits and bobs you need to make it work with ODBC, .NET, Hibernate, excellent help, admin tools and so on, all in a small download. What I like is that it installs straight out of the box and the administration tool called pgAdminIII allows me to drill down and execute arbitrary queries. The tool used to be a bit crashy in earlier versions but these days it's very stable. I've also gotten PostgreSQL working with OpenOffice Base for form entry. It also works great with Hibernate with JDBC and that's what most of my coding is through.
I'm sure MySQL and Postgres advocates can argument about speed or configurability until the cows come home, but for my money Postgres just feels right and correct which is more important to me than speed.
Mysql's income
comes from licensing, afaik
Anyway I suspect this will herald in Postgres's ascendancy
MySQL may be used under the GPL even for commercial use.
Referring to Enterprise Server: "MySQL Enterprise is the comprehensive subscription offering that provides database developers and DBAs with everything they need to successfully develop and deploy database solutions with MySQL. It includes Certified Software, updates and upgrades, proactive alerts and advisors, the online MySQL Knowledge Base, and full production-level technical support. The Certified Software (database server, connectors) is provided under the GPL License. Optionally, customers may choose a Commercial License."
That is from http://www.mysql.com/company/legal/licensing/
So comments that one cannot use MySQL server under the GPL for commercial use are unfounded, for now...
Agreed. This is likely to become the best thing ever to happen to
Postgres. MySQL has been good to me for years, and I trust that someone will fork a GPLed "new, new version" if Sun somehow can't quite bring this through their Reality Distortion Layer without catastrophic damage, but I'm going to make darn well sure that anything I do on MySQL from here on out is trow-a-switch portable to Postgres and/or Firebird for the next year or two. Which should be a standard practice anyway, no?

Premium Vanilla Beans
Silver Cloud offers the finest quality gourmet vanilla beans at wholesale prices. Our beans can be purchased in glass tubes, 8 ounce or 17 ounce vacuum sealed pouches. Since we grow all the vanilla beans we sell, our prices are usually much lower than other companies. We are so confident you will love the quality of our beans, we offer a money back guarantee. If your not completely satisfied, you can return the beans for a full refund.
One important measure of vanilla bean quality is the length of the bean. Because of the estates' ideal growing conditions, our beans are 7 - 10 inches long. Silver Cloud's Vanilla Beans are also very high in vanillin, typically much higher than the best beans from Madagascar, Papua New Guinea or Tahiti. Vanillin, which is naturally occuring in the beans, gives vanilla much of its flavor. We believe, due to their length and high vanillin content, our estate grown beans are superior to the best premium or super long beans sold by any company.
Note: Our beans are sold by weight, depending on the size of the beans, the number in a pouch will vary.

Silver Cloud's Premium Vanilla Beans
All the vanilla beans sold by Silver Cloud Estates are grown exclusively on the estates in the beautiful Nilgiri, or Blue Mountains of Southern India. Since we grow our vanilla beans we have tremendous control over the quality of the beans and other vanilla products we sell. It enables us to guarantee that the products are natural and produced in an eco-friendly manner. No child labor is ever used to plant, grow, pollinate, harvest or process any of our products.
In the last five years, Silver Cloud Estates has become one of the largest growers of vanilla (Vanilla planifolia) in the world. The estate's elevation, rich soil and climate offer the ideal growing conditions for this tropical orchid and the plants have thrived. Today, over 100,000 plants are intercropped with tea, coffee, black pepper, cardamom and other spices.
The vanilla beans grown on the estate are high in natural vanillin; typically much higher than the beans grown in Madagascar, Papua New Guinea or Tahiti. Vanillin, gives vanilla much (but not all) of its characterizing flavor and aroma. All the beans we sell are "premium" or "prime quality". Only the very finest beans, which are long, have no visible defects, are mahogany in color and an oily appearance, are graded as "premium" or "prime quality".
We invite you to try Silver Cloud's Premium Vanilla Beans, Pure Vanilla Extracts, Vanilla Bean Paste and Vanilla Sugar. We believe if you do you will recognize them as among the finest vanilla products produced anywhere in the world.
Stored properly, your vanilla beans from
Silver Cloud should remain fresh and pliable for a year or
more. After removing the beans from the vacuum sealed pack
store them in an airtight container. The temperature should be
relatively constant. Never refrigerate or freeze your beans, they
will dry out and may develop mold. Open the container
every few weeks and enjoy the aroma. This will let the air
circulate a bit, which helps prolong the shelf life.Over
time your beans might develop an edible crystal frost. This is
natural vanillin,which gives vanilla its characteristic flavor.
Silver Cloud offers the finest cured Vanilla Beans, which can be purchased
in glass tubes containing three beans or 8 ounce and 17 ounce vacuum sealed pouches.
There are approximately 40 beans in an 8 ounce pouch. Since our beans are
sold by weight, depending on the size of the beans, the number in a pouch will

Since AJ Burnett's awful performance in last night's game against the Blue Jays, the pundits have ramped up the "Yankees have no pitching" storyline. Of course, these articles tend to ignore the similar lack of depth in all of the AL contenders' rotations, and make it seem like the Yankees have major pitching issues. As I showed yesterday, this is simply not the case. More on point, it seems that many writers and fans are overstating the importance of the 4th starter in the postseason.
[image title="Screen shot 2010-09-28 at 4.13.18 PM" size="full" id="21719" align="center" linkto="full" ]
[image title="Screen shot 2010-09-28 at 4.13.48 PM" size="full" id="21720" align="center" linkto="full" ]
[image title="Screen shot 2010-09-28 at 4.13.57 PM" size="full" id="21721" align="center" linkto="full" ]
As you can see, the Yankees could use their 4th starter just twice over the entire postseason (Game 4 or 5 in ALCS and World Series), while only using a pitcher on 3 days rest one time (CC Sabathia in Game 4 of the ALDS). So we are talking about two games for AJ Burnett, likely matched up against Wade Davis, Jeff Niemmann, or Tommie Hunter in the first one and a Joe Blanton type in the second. While I clearly do not trust Burnett, the opposing pitchers are not exactly world beaters and the Yankees have the advantage in terms of offense.
Do I wish that Burnett was pitching well and that the Yankees had 4 solid starters? Certainly. But the struggles of their 4th best pitcher is not the death knell for the Yankee season that some are making it out to be.

FLORENCE, Italy – An appeals court in Florence has upheld the guilty verdict against U.S. student Amanda Knox and her ex-boyfriend for the 2007 murder of her British roommate.
Knox was sentenced to 28 1/2 years in prison, raising the specter of a long legal battle over her extradition.
After nearly 12 hours of deliberations Thursday, the court reinstated the guilty verdict first handed down against Knox and Raffaele Sollecito in 2009. The verdict had been overturned in 2011 and the pair freed from prison, but Italy's supreme court vacated that decision and sent the case back for a third trial in Florence.
While Solecito was in court Thursday morning, he didn't return for the verdict, and Knox was half a world away awaiting the decision with, in her own words, "my heart in my throat."
This was Knox's and Italian Raffaele Sollecito's third trial for the 2007 murder of her British roommate, Meredith Kercher, in the Italian university town of Perugia.
Knox's lawyer Carlo Dalla Vedova told the court he was "serene" about the verdict because he believes the only conclusion from the files is "the innocence of Amanda Knox."
"It is not possible to convict a person because it is probable that she is guilty," Dalla Vedova said. "The penal code does not foresee probability. It foresees certainty."
Dalla Vedova evoked Dante, noting that the Florentine writer reserved the lower circle of hell for those who betrayed trust, as he asserted that police had done to Knox when they held her overnight for questioning without legal representation and without advising her that she was a suspect.
The panel of two professional judges and six lay jury members remained closed in chambers after more than 11 hours of deliberations.
Knox, 26, awaited the verdict in Seattle, where she returned after spending four years in jail before being acquitted in 2011. In an email to this court, Knox wrote that she feared a wrongful conviction.
Knox's absence does not formally hurt her case since she was freed by a court and defendants in Italy are not required to appear at their trials.
Sollecito, 29, on the other hand, has made frequent court appearances, always in a purple sweater, the color of the local Florentine soccer club.

Check here for answers to your questions about PLAYBILLder. Just click on your question to reveal the answer below.
This site is for creating Playbill programs to accompany school or amateur live performances with 8 or fewer performances as well as private events like weddings where no admission is charged. Any usage in conjunction with for-profit ventures, including - but not limited to - advertising, professional live performances, fundraisers, benefits, business brochures and events - must first be approved by Playbill. Productions based in New York City may be subject to additional restrictions; please use the link below to apply for approval to use this site. Content created on this site in service of New York City, non-school or non-amateur ventures without prior approval are subject to immediate deletion by Playbill Online.
To apply to use this site if you are not producing a school or amateur live performance with 8 or fewer performances, or your production is based in New York City, or if you are unsure if you can use this site for your production, please describe your organization and production using this form and Playbill Online will review your application promptly.
Setting up and sharing your Playbill using PLAYBILLder is free of charge. But in order to print your Playbill, there will be $60 trademark licensing fee (new price as of May 27, 2014) to generate a PDF.
The Producer of a production is the person who is in charge of administrative decisions for the show. Usually this is the person who arranged for the rights to perform the show.
Since you are creating a Playbill representing your organization's production, a mentor is needed to sign off on your creation. The mentor can choose his or her level involvement as the Playbill is being set up, from minimal to page-by-page oversight.
If the Playbill you are creating will be the designated program for your production, select Official Playbill. Choosing this option will require a representative from the producing organization (a drama teacher or official at a school, for example) to give approval to you building the Playbill; that person may also choose to sign off on every section of the Playbill before it is made available to the public. A Personal Playbill can be built without the user requiring any oversight or permissions from another individual.
When you are entering the production details for your Playbill, you will be required to confirm that you have obtained the necessary waivers for any photos or personal information posted to the document.
All you need to start creating your Playbill is the basic information about your show. As long as you know the name, date and location of the production you have everything you need to get started.
Unfortunately, at this time, you can only post YouTube videos.
No - only the Cover section is mandatory. You can use all, some, or none of the other sections (Billing page, Cast, Who's Who, etc.)
You can just skip the Back Page section and use the End Notes section to compose your back page.
No. You will build your Playbill section by section, starting with the Cover section. After you have finished editing a section, saved your work and are in Preview mode, you have the option of making the section public. Because it can take a lot of time creating a Playbill cover-to-cover, we thought our users would prefer to make public each section as they are completed. We provide sharing tools so you can let friends, family and fellow cast members know each time a new section is completed and made public.

Archiving a Playbill removes it from searches on our site and if it's displayed as a link on the home page, removes it from display there.
If you have multiple actors playing the same role, you can enter the full name of the one actor in the First Name field with a "/" at the end and the full name of the other actor in the Last Name field. For instance, you can put "John Smith/" In the First Name Field and "Jack Murphy" in the Last Name field. It will appear on your "Cast" page as: Scarecrow............... John Smith / Jack Murphy. Please note that doing so will prevent the "Who's Who" section from displaying the cast names individually so we recommend you delete the individual "Who's Who" entries and use the Add Optional Filler Content tool to enter Who's Who entries.
Playbill does not allow you to use the Playbill logo if you're not using the PLAYBILLder site to create your program.
You can save time entering and formatting the writer credits on the billing page and the song lists of your musicals by using our Playbill Express Production data.
You can only turn off sections, not individual pages. To turn off a section, deselect the "Yes. Make this page public" checkbox. Another way to turn off a section is by editing the section and saving it (once you start editing a section, we require you to make the section public again.)
In some sections that are text-based (Billing, Acknowledgements, End Notes), you can just enter any text content your audience might find of interest, like upcoming productions, special notices, etc. For other sections (Songs, Who's Who, Photos, Video and Ads), we offer a tool to add additional text. Click "+ Add Optional Filler Content" which opens a text editor for you to add additional notes. See the combination of content (photos, video, songs, etc.) with the filler text by switching to Preview mode.
Please make sure any image that you add is in JPEG, GIF, or PNG format and is under 10 MB. You cannot upload PDF, TXT, or word documents to the Cover, Who's Who, Crew's Who's Who, Photos, Ads, or Back page sections.
In the "Who's Who" section when add your bio, check the "Extend Bio" box. That will increase the character count limit to 1,000. However, keep in mind that you won't be able to fit as many bios on one page. The maximum number of bios you can fit on a page is 5. If you exceed the 400 character count, less than 5 bios will fit on the page.
Try and get your Playbill page numbers into multiples of 4 (4, 8, 12, 16 pages, etc). You can add images to the "Photos" or "Ads" section that will be placed where there are blank pages.
Right now our website doesn't have the infrastructure to allow you to place ads on the inside and back covers.
You can convert the PDFs to JPEG format by going here pdf2jpg.net/ We are working on allowing PDFs to be loaded into our system. Please check our homepage for updates.
Printing your Playbill is a very simple process. When you have completed your Playbill, click the "Enable Print" button available on your Dashboard or just about any Preview or Edit page of your document. There will be a $60 charge for the use of the Playbill Trademark (new price as of May 27, 2014).
The standard Playbill size is approximately an 8.5" x 11" paper folded laterally into 4 pages, so if you plan on making a printout of your Playbill, aim to create document that is a multiple of 4 (eg. 8, 12, 16 or 20 pages).
You will need to generate a PDF of your online Playbill. Playbill charges a $60 trademark licensing fee (new price as of May 27, 2014). You can then send the PDF to a commercial printer or a popular service bureau such as Kinkos or Staples.
When you're ready to print, click the Make This Public button on your "Cover" Page first. The Enable PDF button will appear toward the top right corner of the screen located below the yellow "Need Help?" button. When you click the "Enable PDF" button, a screen will pop up that will allow you to pay the trademark licensing fee.
There is no charge for going back and editing your Playbill. You may edit it as often as you'd like and generate a PDF after each revision.
If you are positive your credit card went through the first time and you are still being asked to pay again, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com. Please include a copy of your receipt and the email address that you used to sign up for your account.
The Playbill Print Service offers competitively priced printing of Playbill programs and posters.
Here are our printing prices:
Unfortunately, due to print setup requirements 375 copies is the minimum order. If you wish to order fewer copies, you will still pay the same price.
Yes. When you are directed to the "Playbill Print Service" page, click on the ">3000 Playbills or Special Order" link. A screen will pop up that says "Special Order Details." Fill out the information and click "Submit."
Including printing and processing times:
Standard delivery (Ground): 8-10 days
Expedited processing: 7 days
Rush Processing: 6 days
All deliveries are made in afternoons.
To be safe, we recommend that you place your order at least 7 days in advance. These shipping times also apply for posters. (NOTE: Some shipping options may not be available for all states. There may be delays during holidays)
All orders are processed on weekdays, excluding holidays. If you order on a weekend, your order will be processed the following Monday. Any order placed after 3:30pm will be processed the following day.
The price is based on 1) How many pages are in your Playbill 2) The quantity of Playbills 3) Whether it's in color or black & white (free cover color) 4) How fast you want it shipped. If you have already paid the $60 licensing fee, a credit of $60 will applied to your print order.
Not currently. Please keep checking the PLAYBILLder homepage for updates.
Currently, the website doesn't have the infrastructure to rearrange the PDF pages that we will print. We're working on fixing that. Keep checking the PLAYBILLder website for updates.
No. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Make sure your Playbill page count is in a multiple of 4 (4, 8, 12, 16, etc.) If your final Playbill page count is an odd number (ie. 17 pages) or not in a multiple of 4, you'll have blank pages inserted at the back of your Playbill beginning with the back inside cover. You can use either the "Ads" or "Photos" sections to add images until your page count gets to a multiple of 4 to avoid blank pages.
Once you've placed your order, you have several minutes to cancel before it's processed. Send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com with your Name, Title of your show, order number, and email address you used to create your Playbill.

WholeFoods Magazine SourceBook: The Natural Products Directory
Washington, D.C.—Each spring, industry members visit lawmakers in Washington, D.C. to help ensure our laws continue to guarantee access to natural products. The Natural Products Association (NPA, npainfo.org), based in D.C., coordinates these visits by making appointments for association members with their Congressmen and women. This year, nearly 150 members representing 33 states plus the District of Columbia came to Capitol Hill for more than 140 meetings on Tuesday, March 23rd.
Acquisitions, new launches, new partnerships, awards, new initiatives and more.
Silver Spring, MD—The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently issued a warning to consumers about the potential dangers of ear candles, and is attempting to enforce regulations on the product's major manufacturers.
Washington, D.C.—In the wake of the filing of a lawsuit against fish oil manufacturers over alleged polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) contamination in their products, the Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN), based here, released a statement defending the practices of these companies.
Promotions, new hires, retirements and more.
Port-au-Prince, Haiti—Last month, WholeFoods covered efforts by industry companies to help those affected by the earthquake that hit Port-au-Prince, Haiti in January. Since the time of that publication, several other companies have offered their support:
Arlington Heights, IL—Founded by John and Susan Carlson in 1965, Carlson Laboratories, still a family-owned and -operated business, is proud to celebrate its 45th anniversary. The Carlson family was aware of the powerful antioxidant benefits associated with vitamin E, especially in the d-alpha-tocopheryl succinate form.
Washington, D.C.—The Natural Products Association (NPA) is extending its standard and seal to include natural home care products.
Washington, D.C.—Last month, WholeFoods reported on proposed legislation sponsored by Arizona Senator John McCain (R-AZ) that would redefine dietary supplements and place new burdens on the dietary supplement industry. In the weeks that followed, several industry companies and associations responded to the Dietary Supplement Safety Act (DSSA, S3.002) in full force.
Rockville, MD—The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) would like to see some extra funding in FY 2011: $146 million from the government and $601 million in industry user fees. This 23% total increase (from $3.28 billion to $4.03 billion in all) will be invested in much-needed initiatives to protect public health. Specifically, FDA hopes to use this money to benefit food safety practice, medical product safety and regulatory science.

$475 Million for Community College-Employer Partnerships
A new round of funding is available for innovative partnerships between community colleges and businesses through the latest round of the Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training (TAACCCT) grant program.
The U.S. Departments of Education and Labor recently announced $474.5 million in TAACCCT grants focusing on innovative, evidence-based models for work-based training that feature effective partnerships with employers.

Elyse Umemoto Photos Spark Latest Beauty Queen Scandalby Mischalova at . Comments
I'm thrilled. I get my life back. No more shopping, no more stressing about interviews.
-- Elyse Umemoto, following her third place finish at the 2008 Miss America Pageant.
Somewhere between this quote - which was given around January - and this week, Umemoto must have decided that she actually doesn't want the life of a random beauty queen back.
Instead, she wants to follow in the scandalous footsteps of Amanda Polumbo, Tara Conner, Katie Rees and Valerie Begue - all pageant contestants that have become better known for snorting cocaine, feeling up female friends and posing like Jesus.
Why else would a series of photos depicting Elyse Umemoto behaving badly all of a sudden appear on the Internet? Here's an example:
One of several Elyse Umemoto pictures that Miss Washington officials are less than thrilled about.
Miss Washington Executive Field Director Mike Miller told celebrity gossip site TMZ the organization is "embarrassed."
Follow this article's jump now to see what he said in a statement, along with many other Elyse Umemoto pictures...The pageant representative's statement reads:
Elyse Umemoto is an outstanding young woman and has been a brilliant representative for the Miss Washington Scholarship Organization. We continue to be very proud of her... It is unfortunate that her behavior in unguarded moments has attracted attention.
We do not condone the behaviors depicted in these photos. However, there will be no discipline for Elyse based on the behavior evidenced in the photos.
Click on the following thumbnails now to see up close versions of the photos in question...
I disagree on one point, cosmo. I'm afraid we're going to have to eat the horses.
I don't know which is more reprehensible: Ms. Unemoto's dispicable display of poor judgement, or the inexplicable attempt to excuse her behavior by the pageant saying it was an "unguarded momement". Hello-o-o-o-o....if that is how she behaves, particularly wearing the crown representing the state of Washington, WHAT are pageant officials thinking??!?
Gossip is idle talk or rumor, especially about the personal or private affairs of others. While gossip forms one of the oldest and most common means of spreading and sharing facts and views, it also has a reputation for the introduction of errors and other variations into the information thus transmitted. The term also carries implications that the news so transmitted (usually) has a personal or trivial nature. Compare conversation. Some people commonly understand gossip as meaning the spreading of dirt and misinformation, as (for example) through excited discussion of scandals. Some newspapers carry "gossip columns" which detail the social and personal lives of celebrities or of élite members of certain communities. FOLKS KEEP ALL THIS IN PERSPECTIVE. Hollywood Gossip is a gossip rag. It makes its' money and notoriety off gossip not truth or REALITY.
The general public don't really care. It's not like she posed nude or anything. Personally, I'd like to see more poking around in the closests of the self-righteous. Now that would make for some juicy news!
Dragon, You are the type of person who made her ancestors leave Japan. You are the worst type of racist and sexist, and I'm ashamed of people like you polluting my country.
SHE IS A GREAT PERSON IF YOU HAVE EVER MET HER YOU WOULD KNOW THAT... I'VE BEEN TO THE PAGEANTS SHE BEEN IN AND TALKED TO HER AFTER AND SHE IS ONE OF THE NICEST PEOPLE I HAVE MET. SO SHE MADE A MISTAKE.. EVERONE DOES..THERE IS NOT A PERSON IN THE WORLD THAT CAN SAY THEY NEVER MADE A MISTAKE... SO HOW ABOUT THEM APPLES.... LOL KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK Elyse.....ILY
She is really whitewashed. All you see is her acting wild and hanging with a bunch of white guys.
this is 1st grade. worrying about dribble like these pics when we are a couple years from wearing loin cloths and riding horses again diminishes my hope for all of us.
Those have to be the tamest "scandal" photos I've ever, ever seen. My god, pageant queens are human beings! What will we tell the children? But yeah, take off the tiara during beer pong. Everyone knows beer pong goes with ermine, not rhinestones.

AUGUSTA, Ga. — Growing up watching the Masters, I've seen so many iconic golf shots played here at Augusta National. Whether it was live on TV or on a highlight reel, there are a number that have made a lasting impression on me.
Phil Mickelson's risky shot on the par-5 13th through the trees in 2010, Tiger Woods' miraculous chip in on the par-3 16th in 2005 and Louis Oosthuizen's double eagle last year (on No. 2) are just a few of the historic shots that have stood out to me after watching year after year.
As soon as I stepped foot on Augusta National, I found myself wanting to go to each and every spot on the course where these iconic shots took place to see exactly what each player faced.
One location I especially wanted to stop by was to the right of the 10th fairway. I wanted to get down in the pine needles and in between the trees to see for myself what Bubba Watson was experiencing when he faced that famous shot in last year's playoff. It turns out I wasn't alone. Every time I have walked by the 10th hole there has been a group of up to 20 people down in the trees trying to figure out how Bubba pulled off that incredible shot. I have seen this particular shot over and over again on TV and YouTube, but I can say it's even more impressive now that I've been able to put myself in Bubba's shoes. I hope that this year I'm able to see history unfold right before my eyes like what we all saw on TV last year when Bubba Watson pulled off the shot of his life.

text: First thought as the unlikely model when she kick-started her career back in early 2011, our long-standing girl crush Charlotte Free has come a long way since first being spotted by IMG New York's David Cunningham last year. Recognised instantly by her bright pink dip dyed hair, at 5ft 7in, despite being relatively short to be a catwalk model she has fast become one of the fashion world's biggest obsessions. Walking for Roksanda Illincic and Vivienne Westwood and having fronted campaigns for Uniqlo, Topshop Makeup and Italian label Ermanno Scervino – we're sure her latest accomplishment as the face of US label Forever 21 is the beginning of a bright future for the American starlet.

Since yesterday there's been a flurry of news developments, none of which I'm going to be able to write about today, but all of which are interesting, so I'd encourage you to take them up in the comments:
1) Just days after a district judge ruled against Texas's Voter ID law, the Fifth Circuit gave Texas permission to enforce the law in the meantime. Within hours opponents had asked the Supreme Court to delay the law's implementation while the appeals process is ongoing. Considering that the Supreme Court blocked the implementation of Wisconsin's voter ID law last week, it's plausible that they'll take the same view of Texas's situation; early voting begins on Monday.
2) Meanwhile, also yesterday evening, the Supreme Court blocked the Fifth Circuit's provisional support of a couple of restrictions in the new abortion law--meaning that more than a dozen clinics which had closed, because of the provisional ruling, can now re-open. The Supreme Court's move doesn't settle the issue; the case is still at the Fifth Circuit. But it does suggest that six of the justices are skeptical, should it come to that.
3) Attorneys for the city of Houston are trying to subpoena a bunch of sermons from area pastors, on the grounds that they may be relevant to the legal fight over the city's new equal rights ordinance. As you can imagine, Christian conservatives were not amused.
4) And this morning the state announced that a second health care worker from Presby has tested positive for Ebola.

Lithuania ready for e-voting, but Estonia's already onto m-voting
Sep 27, 2007
By TBT staff and wire reports
TALLINN/VILNIUS - Estonia's ruling Reform Party is preparing an amendment to allow people to vote by mobile telephone.
The party presented its 'm-voting' proposals Sep. 27 in order to prepare a bill along with its other coalition partners next week. If the partners give the initiative the thumbs up the legislation will be sent to parliament.
The head of the Reformist faction, Keit Pentus, said Estonia has always been at the forefront of information technology innovation.
In her words, the use of an ID card linked to a cell phone is no longer fantasy, and m-voting would make involvement in governance more accessible and convenient.
The idea of introducing m-voting was put forward in August by the Reformist deputy speaker of parliament, Kristiina Ojuland, who believes a viable scheme could be in place in time for the 2009 local elections.
In Ojuland's opinion, a mobile phone ID application would enable voters to identify themselves and give a digital signature.
She said that since April mobile ID SIM cards have been available which incorporate a person's mobile identity in addition to the usual SIM card functions that allow providers of Internet services to identify users.
"Mobile ID is more convenient in that one does not have to attach a special ID card reader to one's computer. A cell phone performs the functions of an ID card and card reader at one and the same time," she said.
The head of the parliamentary Constitutional Committee, Vaino Linde, said the introduction of m-voting would calls for substantial changes in election laws.
"M-voting is certainly a future option, but whether the process can be completed in a couple of years is a different matter," Linde told BNS in August.
Last year, Estonia was the first country to elect its parliament via the Internet. About 3.5 percent of all those who voted in the elections in March 2006 expressed their will online, enhancing the nation's reputation as 'E-stonia'.
Meanwhile in Lithuania, the country is almost ready to introduce its own online voting system.
All technical considerations for online voting in Lithuania are already in place and could be used as early as the 2008 general elections, if parliament approves, said chairman of the Central Electoral Committee, Zenonas Vaigauskas Sep. 27.
"In the technical sense, the possibility to vote in the next year's parliamentary elections is realistic, however, enormous explanatory work will have to be done. Society's response is unclear and, furthermore, a decision from parliament is also necessary - it has to adopt relevant amendments," Vaigauskas told BNS.
He has discussed development of an Internet-based voting system with Prime Minister Gediminas Kirkilas. In Vaigauskas' words, the premier is very enthusiastic about online voting.
The head of the electoral committee said that Internet-based voting has both ardent supporters and strong opponents among parliamentarians, adding it was too early to forecast the way of voting in the parliamentary elections next fall.
According to the most likely system, voters would be identified using electronic systems similar to those used in online banking.

text: Sucrose is "plain sugar." There is no chemical difference between cane sugar and beet sugar, both are sucrose. There may be differences in the trace elements from the processing, but they should have no effect on blood sugar levels. It is a disaccharide and breaks down into glucose and fructose from enzymatic action in digestion. Corn syrup is produced from cornstarch. High fructose corn syrup (which is a common sweetner) is roughly equivalent to sucrose and according to the USDA there is no appreciable metabolic difference between HFCS and sucrose. The key point with corn syrup is a mix of fructose and glucose that does not need to be broken down by enzymes before being used by the body. That should translate to faster metabolizaton. Honey contains a number of different sugars, but the basic fructose/glucose ratio is roughly equivalent to HFCS. In general, the metabolic effects will be similar between honey and HFCS. As I understand it, fructose gives a sweeter taste with less actual sugar and maltose (or some derivative) digests slower and causes less of a sugar rush. I haven't investigated the claims, so I may be wrong. Bear > Pulling from vague memory, Sugar beet is better then corn syrup. Sugar > cane > is better then sugar beet and fructose is better then sugar cane. > Something > about the speed of change in the blood sugar level. I think honey has been > equated of the same level as fructose. > L > > -----Original Message----- > sucrose (isn't sucrose or fructose better for diabetics than plain > sugar?)? > C

"Hi, honey! How was your day?" The best and worst
Once upon a time I was in a women's faith-sharing group, and to get things rolling we would sometimes share the best and worst parts of our day. Sometimes I come home after a long day and wish I had a nice husband to come home to who would ask me the same thing... while massaging my aching feet, of course... maybe after fixing me a cup of hot tea or an amaretto on the rocks. (A girl can dream, can't she?) So I thought I'd get the ball rolling and ask the rest of y'all. How was your day?
Here are my highlights:
Worst: Trying to encourage a couple of students who received bad test results today not to give up. They literally told me, "I give up." Ugh.
Best: A tie between 1) seeing the look on a student's face when she saw her reading test score had improved dramatically since last time (from pitifully failing to a C+) and 2) the point in class when I imitated a seahorse doing a dance to greet its mate (yeah, we end up doing some strange-looking things when explaining concepts in another language).
So who's next? How was your day?
