Mars TOP STORY
Weather, which changes day-to-day due to constant fluctuations in the atmosphere, and climate, which varies over decades, are familiar.
Mars TOP STORIES
Mars as seen by Mars Orbiter
Two NASA and one European spacecraft that obtained the first up-close observations of a comet flyby of Mars on Oct. 19, have gathered new information about the basic properties of the comet's nucleus and directly detected the effects on the Martian atmosphere.
Reddish rock powder from the first hole drilled into a Martian mountain by NASA's Curiosity rover has yielded the mission's first confirmation of a mineral mapped from orbit.
Mars is peppered with craters. Scientists have deduced that the red planet is struck by around 200 meteoroids every year that dig out new craters.
This composite NASA Hubble Space Telescope Image captures the positions of comet Siding Spring and Mars in a never-before-seen close passage of a comet by the Red Planet, which happened at 2:28 p.m. EDT October 19, 2014. The comet passed by Mars at approximately 87,000 miles (about one-third of the distance between Earth and the Moon). At that time, the comet and Mars were approximately 149 million miles from Earth.
Humans have long dreamed of traveling to Mars, hopscotching across the solar system and fanning out into the cosmos beyond.
Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity captured images of a comet passing much closer to Mars than any previous known comet flyby of Earth or Mars. The images of comet Siding Spring were taken against a backdrop of the pre-dawn Martian sky on Sunday (Oct. 19).
All three NASA orbiters around Mars confirmed their healthy status Sunday after each took shelter behind Mars during a period of risk from dust released by a passing comet.
Jared Espley and Michelle Thaller talk about the close encounter between Mars and Comet Siding Spring at the Oct 17, 2014.
NASA's Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) spacecraft has provided scientists their first look at a storm of energetic solar particles at Mars.
This artist's concept depicts the early Martian environment (left) - believed to contain liquid water and a thicker atmosphere - versus the cold, dry environment seen at Mars today (right).
During an October 9 press briefing at NASA headquarters, panelists discussed the Earth and space-based assets that will be in position to observe the October 19 flyby of Mars by comet C/2013 A1, also known as comet Siding Spring. These assets include NASA's iconic Hubble Space Telescope and spacecraft orbiting and roving Mars.
NASA's MAVEN spacecraft has reached Mars and it is beaming back "First Light" images of the Red Planet's upper atmosphere. The data could help researchers understand what transformed Mars from a hospitable planet billions of years ago into a desiccated wasteland today.

Fascinate your friends and family with this sophisticated, impressive choice. Splashes of midnight blue fade to softer shades of blue providing texture and variation on this beautiful mermaid tail. Speckles and ribbons of shiny blue shimmer across the tail like a starry night sky or bubbles in the ocean.
This fabric is tie-dyed to minimize the fading effects of sun, chlorine, and wear. Although it has voluminous texture, this high quality fabric feels smooth to the touch, and is tightly woven to maximize durability. The fabric is 80% nylon and 20% spandex (elastane). Disclaimer: because the fabric is tie-dyed the color may slightly bleed out in the water. This is normal.
We are out of stock on sizes that are not showing.
Great!! Review by CoraMer
This tail is amazing. When I first got it, the box was not taped up on one side, it was crushed, and there were holes on the top so, i thought made it was damaged at first.The actual tail is a nice color, and has lots of shimmer.It is beautiful on land, in the water, in sunlight, dim light, everything.Most younger kids just think the seams are designs. My favorite part would be the design because in some light it is a bright silver and in other light it is a bright glowing blue.However, after my first swim in a chlorine, it became a bit paler and for me, when I try to lift up my feet/monofin/fluke, you can see my toes trough it.Other than that it is amazing and I would most definitely recommend t to everyone.

Mermaid Tail Details
Our tails are made from high quality swimsuit fabrics (80% Nylon and 20% spandex) which are chlorine and salt water resistant.
You won't believe how beautiful and magical the tails are in person!
Fin Fun Mermaid tails look realistic and beautiful with our monofins, but can also be used without one. Without a monofin, our tails are floppy and open at the bottom. Without a monofin you will be able to walk and stand on the bottom of the pool. With a monofin, our tails have their realistic mermaid shape and movement - AND - you'll still be able to take it on and off easily as needed.
Monofin Details
Is a Monofin right for you? Are you an excellent swimmer with a great dolphin kick? Are you an advanced swimmer ready to practice the dolphin kick? Can you swim in the deep end? If you answer yes to those, you're probably ready to pick out your Fin Fun Monofin!
Our Fin Fun Monofins have been specially designed to appear realistic, feel light in the water, fit a wide variety of sizes comfortably, and help you swim fast!
There is so much information (and great videos) about our monofins, that we can't fit it all on this page! You'll definitely want to read all about our monofins here. There you'll be able to view monofin videos and learn how to use the monofin: how to put it on, swim with it, and take proper care of it!

Will Adobe-Macromedia Deal Kill Competition?
Adobe Systems Inc. acquired Macromedia Inc. in a $3.4-billion deal last week. The combined company will operate under the Adobe brand and will further expand into the enterprise and mobile markets, company officials said.
"I would characterize my feelings as a combination of excitement and uneasiness," said Stacy Young, a senior developer with Optimal Payments Inc. of Montreal, discussing the issues created by the deal.
"Adobes resources and market penetration with Reader are definitely positive angles My only concern is whether the acquisition will disturb the close relationship Macromedia has with the development community and long-time customers. As for the future of Flex I can only guess, but Im thinking Adobe wants to jump-start their server-side offering to extend their workflow product offering, so thats also possibly another positive point," Young said.
Darius Fattahipour, senior IT engineer for San Diego Countys Department of Child Support Services, and a Macromedia user, said, "I was surprised that these two competitors had decided to merge. While ultimately I believe Adobes acquisition will be a success, if youre a developer, its going to mean some confusing times ahead as Adobe integrates Macromedias product line.
"These companies have many competing products, such as Dreamweaver versus GoLive, FlashPaper versus PDF, Illustrator versus Freehand, ImageReady and Photoshop versus Fireworks. There is no direct competition for ColdFusion.
"Personally, Im not usually a big fan of acquisitions when companies are direct competitors. It usually results in less choice and innovation in the long term. Macromedias forte was innovation. I view Adobe as much more conservative," Fattahipour said.
Read more here about analysts take on the possible impact of the Adobe-Macromedia merger on customers.
Roland Collins, chief technology officer at InvestEdge Inc., Pittsburgh, said, "Actually, as a customer of both companies, Im looking forward to having an integrated tool set to work with! Both companies have great productseven the competing product offerings from both camps are fantastic, which is rare. I think this is an opportunity to truly dominate their markets by creating a new product that utilizes the best technology from each existing suite."
Moreover, Collins said, "I dont share the paranoia that a lot of Macromedia diehards have been expressing. I cant really see Adobe doing away with many of Macromedias offerings, since Macromedia has worked hard over the years to put together a solid, profitable set of products."
Gary Hein, an analyst with Burton Group Inc. of Midvale, Utah, said, "I think that Adobe plus Macromedia forms a new wild card in some desktop- and graphics-related formats and standards. Both have great installed bases among desktops, and together theyll have much more influence in what happens with interoperable, cross-platform document, graphics and animation formations. Its interesting, to say the least."
Hein added, "Adobe has some interesting technologies but is not as prevalent in the enterprise. Macromedia brings more credibility and a great technology portfolio to Adobe."
In a news conference announcing the deal last week, Bruce Chizen, chief executive of Adobe, noted the "complementary functionality" of Adobes PDF and Macromedias Flash technology, both de facto standards in their spaces.

The newly combined company will see Chizen continue as chief executive officer and Shantanu Narayen remaining president and chief operating officer. Meanwhile, Stephen Elop, president and chief executive officer of Macromedia, will join Adobe as president of worldwide field operations. Murray Demo will remain executive vice president and chief financial officer. John Warnock and Charles Geschke will remain as co-chairmen of the Board of Directors of the combined company and Rob Burgess, chairman of the Macromedia Board of Directors, will join the Adobe Board.

Brussels, Belgium
An ugly 80s dress (see the last two pictures) became a summer playsuit.
The pattern itself was pretty straightforward, but I had trouble getting all of the pieces on the fabric of the dress and this led to a few head-scratching (and hair-pulling) moments.
I added shoulder straps (and two black buttons) to the strapless pattern. Oh, and I shortened the legs a lot, too, of course!
The whole story is on my blog.

Check these out, too...
sounds like you have a communication issue on your hands. Boys aren't
that good at expressing how they feel, so your BF probably thinks
that he is showing you he likes you by kissing and holding hands. The
fact that he is your BF says that he must like you at least a little,
but you need to hear it, too.
next time you talk to him in person, say something like "I like
spending time with you and I'm glad to have you as a boyfriend."
There's not really a way to outright ask him if he likes you
without looking insecure, but the more you encourage verbal
communication, the more likely he is to respond.
if your BF isn't saying he likes you, look at the other signs he
gives. Does he meet you at your locker and make an effort to see you?
Maybe he didn't get you a birthday gift, but did he make your day
special? Don't concentrate so much on the material things, but
think about how he makes you feel. If you really like him, it might
be worth keeping the relationship and letting it grow.

I applied online. The process took 2+ months – interviewed at Infosys in March 2014.Interview Details
I applied online for a Business Development Executive position in New York. They scheduled a panel interview after three to four weeks. Until the time of the interview, everything was good. They answered my questions and calls promptly. At the time of the interview, I was told that the two managers that were supposed to interview me were busy and I had to wait for 30 minutes for someone else to interview me. The interview was simple, very general questions and information about the job. One of the questions was about my background and where I came from. I was then told that they will get back to me in two to three days and schedule another interview. However, everything changed, and those two days became weeks without any responses to my many calls and emails. It was clear that they were ignoring me. So I researched the company and found some cases where candidates thought they were rejected because they were not South Asian, and when I requested some elaboration on that, I immediately got a response (usually no response in weeks); asking me not to make any assumptions. I spent another month asking for closure (Yes or No), in vain..only promises that they will contact me with updates...until finally they called last week and said I wasn't a good fit!Interview Questions

Handled very aggressively by third party headhunters. If you are applying for a specific role make sure you interview is for the role you specified. They will try to lure you into a lower level role even though your experience and background is higher.Interview Questions
Negotiation DetailsBe careful when negotiating a salary, this company will verbally make an offer lower than what you are looking for.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks – interviewed at Infosys in June 2009.Interview Details
The interview process was fairly straight-forward - three rounds - one HR behavioral/fit and two practitioner meetings. The initial step was the HR/Recruiting telephone screen which felt like more of a conversation than an interview - it was formal yet friendly.
At the end of the call which occurred on a Tuesday, the Recruiter indicated I would be hearing about next steps in a couple of days. On Friday, I received an e-mail from Recruiting asking me to provide my availability for a call with one of the practitioners to be scheduled for the following week.
Although this practitioner was on-site at a client, he was rather flexible in terms of coordinating schedules. I was able to schedule a call with this practitioner (Senior Manager / Senior Principal) for the following Wednesday. The call lasted about 30 minutes and was focused on me describing my prior work experience and learning a bit about the practitioner's background. It was give-and-take, though biased toward collecting information about my employment history and consulting experience. In other words, it was more-or-less what one might expect from a 2nd round interview.
After I received the news that I had passed the 2nd round of interviews, I was in regular, frequent contact with the recruiting organization to schedule a time to meet one of the Partners face-to-face. Several days later, plane ticket in hand, I was off to the airport to meet with the Partner. I arrived at the office and waited only about 10 minutes to meet with him. Our conversation lasted a little over an hour. The first fifteen minutes was spent on behavioral/background questions. The following 30 minutes was devoted to the case interview with 2 components. In the first component, I was asked to describe in a case-like fashion (using the available whiteboard), a recent engagement I had worked on- beginning with the client's problem statement, explaining the approach to and structure of my solution, and ending with the outcomes/ client value delivered.
The second component was a case given to me by the Partner in which I was asked to formulate my response to a problem statement. The Partner switched places with me and proceeded to the whiteboard to draw out a series of diagrams depicting relationships between a number of entities in a "Services" sales value chain. I was then asked to (based on my knowledge of the industry) craft an approach to the case. I had some difficulty with this portion of the interview because I had no familiarity with the specific industry being addressed which distracted me from maintaining a structured problem-solving approach. Regardless, I proceeded through the case citing a general approach and game plan for dividing the work into work streams, assigning roles, etc.
The final fifteen minutes of the interview included the Partner reviewing my work and explaining some nuances of the industry's sales process. We also discussed the practice's general direction, and industry and functional specialties.
Though I could have done better on the case (the Partner stated that there was an expectation of a broader or higher-level viewpoint up-front), apparently I had made enough of an impression throughout the interview process. I received a verbal offer by the end of the week - call directly from the Partner.Interview Questions
Negotiation DetailsIn hindsight, I could have done a better job negotiating salary, but I thought the compensation was fair and on par with peers in the market.Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceDifficult Interview

The Blue Man's Blue Balls Martini only at Andre's
Published on Tue, Oct 9, 2012 (7:32 p.m.)This week, one of Las Vegas' finest, longest-running shows is
making the move to the Monte Carlo Casino & Resort. The Blue Man Group opens officially on Oct. 10th, 2012, and ticket sales are far from blue.
In honor of the grand opening event, Andre's Restaurant – just steps away from The Blue Man Group theatre – has created its own Blue Man Group drink – "The Blue Man's Blue Balls Martini only at Andre's."
Actually, Andre's has a reason for the title – The Blue Man Group's show is now titled, "Now With Balls." What better way to celebrate than with a phenomenal martini that features blue balls? Fresh lychee balls, to be specific.
Patrick Trundle, Andre's Beverage Director, has worked for weeks on the refreshing libation by mixing in Cytron Vodka, "G" Joy Junmai Ginjo Genshu Sake, Cold Green Tea, a few secret ingredients and Blue Lychee Balls.
Priced at $14 for the martini and $7 for a shot, Blue Man Group Las Vegas ticket holders can flash their tickets before the event (or stubs after the event) for a 50% instant discount.

A federal appeals court has ruled that tracking Americans' movements using data from their cell phones without a warrant violates their Fourth Amendment rights. The court held that the government's warrantless gathering of an individual's cell phone site location information violated his reasonable expectation of privacy.
"While it may be the case that…GPS location information on an automobile would be protected only in the case of aggregated data, even one point of cell site location data can be within a reasonable expectation of privacy," the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit wrote in its opinion on United States v. Davis. Instead, cell site information "is private in nature rather than being public data that warrants privacy protection only when its collection creates a sufficient mosaic to expose that which would otherwise be private."
The court's ruling stems from a case involving Quartavius Davis, who was charged and convicted of violating the Hobbs Act when he robbed a series of businesses, including a Little Caesars, a Walgreens, and a Wendy's, in conspiracy with several other individuals.
As part of its evidence, the prosecution used records from cell phone service providers that showed Davis and his co-defendants had made and received phone calls near the locations of six businesses that they were charged with robbing. However, the location data had been obtained by a court order—not by a warrant—and Davis claimed that this action violated his Fourth Amendment rights. He requested that the evidence be suppressed during the trial, but his request was dismissed.
Instead, the prosecution used the cell phone site location data in the trial and Davis was convicted. He appealed the decision, which reached the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. As part of his appeal, he again argued that his Fourth Amendment rights had been violated because the prosecution was able to use records collected from cell phone service providers without a warrant.
The appeals court did not overturn Davis's sentencing, but it did rule that the government had violated his Fourth Amendment rights because "the government's warrantless gathering of his cell site location information violated his reasonable expectation of privacy."
The court asserted this position, despite the United States arguing that cell site location information is less protected than GPS data because it is less precise. "We do not doubt that there may be a difference in precision, but that is not to say that the difference in precision has constitutional significance," the court wrote.
The court also held that the prosecutor during Davis's trial had "stressed" that his cell phone use put him near six of the crime scenes. "While committing a crime is certainly not within a legitimate expectation of privacy, if the cell site location data could place him near those scenes, it could place him near any other scene," the court explained. "There is a reasonable privacy interest in being near the home of a lover, or a dispensary of medication, or a place of worship, or a house of ill repute….that information obtained by an invasion of privacy may not be entirely precise does not change the calculus as to whether obtaining it was in fact an invasion of privacy."
Despite finding that Davis' Fourth Amendment rights had been violated, the appeals court did not find that the district court had committed a "reversible error." Instead, the appeals court said that the officers who obtained Davis' cell site location data "acted in good faith reliance on an order rather than a warrant," and had a sworn duty to carry out a court order to retrieve that data.

I always have begrudging respect for Stallman. By being honest about his lunacy he does not make up bogus excuses.
I also though that Trovalds is a bright guy. Either he is lying or has a really low IQ.
Here he hits the usual TMs.
"Linux" is not successful on mobile. The kernel does not make the operating system. The reason preinstalls fail on the desktop is because consumers would not want a horrible looking watered down piece of trash that has a worthless app library. Unless Linus thinks that preinstalling magically propagates an OS ...
Just for a change — nothing at all to do with Windows. After all, this site is about Linux hate…
It's interesting to observe the gripes of a non-Loon community, and to compare/contrast them against the Looniverse. Here are the Statutory Five:
Exchange (MAPI) and its groupware functionality missing.
Wow, that's pretty arcane for a starter. I presume that Linux has this one covered.
Telephony (ISDN to SIP gateways, Asterisk etc) missing.
The shame! Wait up, though; possibly we'll get to something that users actually give a toss about, like the video stack or stability or something ...
A thread that should have been a bunch of FSFties bashing NewEgg goes horribly awry:
"I am a Linux user, and I have wrecked laptops with it before. It is easy to overheat or otherwise abuse a laptop by having improper configs.
For example, I had a battery become unusable because Linux often failed to sleep when the lid was closed because some dialog box was blocking. It would run in the bag with no ventilation when I didn't realize it until the battery drained and it would fail to shutdown until the hardware fail-safes took over and I ...
"Windows is a proprietary environment. They don't give you the source code, and they do anything in their power to limit your freedom. They even try to limit what you can do with the software you rightfully bought from them. So, supporting them in any way is bad for the world, because it encourages others to try to limit others' freedoms (it worked great for Microsoft, so it must be a good idea, right?)."
"However, giving people a way to work around bugs in Windows makes them stay longer with Windows. That's why I consider porting software ...
Crap. Unmitigated bollocks.
The Web has never been a purely intellectual concern, complete with pink unicorns and happy wise crowds, since its inception via DARPA and St Berners-Lee. Otherwise we'd never have had the Internet Bubble and Web 2.0 and probably even Facebook.
The Web is, at this point, a purely commercial enterprise. And large, purely commercial, companies do not deal with "Royalty Free." History suggests quite the opposite, in fact.
This leads to the obvious question: is the codec a fundamental web technology? The HTML5 working group argued and punted on the issue.
That's because the ...
Yeah, right.
Did these idiots actually try to trace down the multiple security failures that Stuxnet depended upon?
Who cares?
Stuxnet! A Virus! With Scientists! Coming soon to a home near you!
Alternatively, nothing to see here, just walk on by. Ignore the dead corpses of once valuable journalists … it was the dreaded Stux wot done it, guv.
So Sinofsky is forcing everyone to use the metro interface by disabling hacks used to get back the old start menu. People are going to be angry if they can't get one shred of the Windows experience they're used to. I predict the masses and big corps will stay with Windows 7 as 8 flops and MS gets their act together for 9.
Mark your calendar, folks. 2015 is going to be the year of the Chromebook!
So says Chris Dawson, tech writer and host of Family Feud. He even has a ListOfFiveReasons™ why.
- It's cheap…
well, not now — which he concedes — but it will be soon, thanks to the Moore's Magical Law, and they'll take over the world, like Netbooks did.
- It's Google…
Dear technology writers, consumers do not have as big of a hard-on for Google or Apple or Facebook or any of your darling companies as you do, or as you think they do. Most Apple iPod/iPad users do not go all out and replace their entire living room ...
Tricky stuff, security. You need to understand all sorts of things about the system access a particular command gives you.
On the other hand, there's sudo, which only exists to give you root access to arbitrary system objects1. Spotting that sudo is a potential risk vector isn't too difficult. So, obviously, the Loons have been extra-specially careful with it.
Then there's complicated algorithms and hi-tech cryptography and what-not. None of these apply to sudo, so obviously the Loons are more than capable of locking it down.
Finally, there are obscure nooks and crannies of recondite languages ...
It's time for The Five. No, not Five Questions, the staple from the Craig Kilborn years on The Daily Show/The Late Late Show. No, not The Five from Fox News. No, it's the Steven J. V-N Five. (Hmm, his last name starts with V, the Roman Numeral for five. Coincidence?!)
On today's episode of SJVN5, we will get to our fallout shelters to protect ourselves from Windows 8, whose metrosexual interface may cause you to do crazy things like attend to your personal hygiene, wash your feet, wear clean clothes and shave that nasty beard that ...

Dr. Stuart L. Yunis, a pioneer in the field of nephrology, passed away on March 16. He was 79 years old.
Dr. Yunis was a well-respected physician – and a beloved family man. He left Dartmouth following his third year, receiving early admission to SUNY Syracuse medical school. After graduation, he became chief resident at LIJ and later became double board certified in both internal medicine and nephrology. Dr. Yunis founded a very successful medical practice in Lake Success with specialists in every field. He also created the first in-house dialysis department at LIJ and later moved to St. Francis Hospital in Roslyn, where he launched the in-house dialysis unit.
He received many awards recognizing his accomplishments in medicine. At a moving service at Temple Beth Sholom in Roslyn, led by Rabbi Alan B. Lucas, Dr. Yunis' grandson Sam Broner noted to the many mourners, "He really listened and always asked insightful questions, even until the end."
Sinai Chapels arranged a military burial for Dr. Yunis, a captain in the U.S. Army with honorable discharge, at Beth David Cemetery.
Considered heroic and brilliant by his family and all who knew him, he is survived by his wife, Victoria Schneps-Yunis, publisher of a multi-media company that includes The Queens Courier and Brooklyn Home Reporter, seven children, and 14 grandchildren. In lieu of flowers, the family has requested that donations be made in Dr. Stuart Yunis' memory to Life's WORC, the Lara Rebecca Schneps Fund (www.lifesworc.org); and Amani Global Works (amaniglobalworks.org).

Local veterans groups and residents gathered at Hicksville Middle School Veterans Memorial Park recently to honor brave servicemen and woman, past and present. William M. Gouse Jr. Post 3211 hosted Hicksville's annual Veterans Day ceremony on Nov. 11.
The ceremonies began with the pledge and national anthem sung by Hicksville High School student Cassie Pursoo, accompanied by trumpeter Conner Hoelzer. Monsignor Thomas Costa from Our Lady of Church in Hicksville gave the invocation.

On Nov. 10, a dedication ceremony was held to celebrate the completion of a beautiful new two-story house in Hicksville. However, while new dwellings are an ordinary occurrence on Long Island, this one was unique and special in a way that very few are.
The house at 77 Thorman Ave. was built in memory of Navy Lieutenant and posthumous Congressional Medal of Honor recipient Michael P. Murphy, a Long Island native who tragically died in combat while serving in Afghanistan in 2005. However, this house represents more than just the dedicated service of a man to his country; it represents the beginning of a new life full of hope for a brother-in-arms and his family as well.

Football was Mike Torrellas' heart and soul. He also liked a good Turkey Bowl.
Unfortunately, the Hicksville Crusaders co-founder wasn't able to witness the program's inaugural event, which took place Saturday, Nov. 8.
Torrellas passed away suddenly last December due to a blood clot, but the spirit and drive of the man who wore the number 53 and tragically passed at that age still surrounds the Crusaders football program.

Lately I've been working on quite a few cosplay props for Homestuck; this is largely due to the fact that come November I'm going to be on a panel at a local con (I'll be the Rose)
This likely also means more illustrations of horrors dubious in nature as I get in character.
Writing is also a thing that could happen.
Cosplay is a slippery slope and generally I have a tendency to go a little overboard when it comes to props so who knows what could happen?

Originally written on Fox Sports Arizona | Last updated 10/27/14
SAN DIEGO -- Kevin Towers and Kirk Gibson plan to meet Monday to evaluate player personnel and the coaching staff, the object being to make sure the two groups mesh. Part of the discussion will involve "particular players we need to get to. Things we need to work on," Towers said."What are the strengths of our staff? What are the weaknesses of our staff? Do we have the right coaches to get the most out of those players or not? What you have to do is look at your product and make sure you have the right people leading that product and coaching that product to get the most out of them."If coaching changes are made, Towers said they will happen quickly.Hitting coach Don Baylor, bench coach Alan Trammell, third basedefense coach Matt Williams, pitching coach Charlie Nagy and bullpen coach Glenn Sherlock have been with manager Kirk Gibson since he was hired full-time in 2011. Sherlock has been with the team since its inaugural season in 1998. Gibson added first baseba...

The first thing you probably notice about Sgt. Abraham Ford is his mustache. Because it is awesome. But you will be noticing a lot more about him when season 5 of The Walking Dead kicks off on Oct. 12. We already know Abraham is intent on getting Eugene to Washington D.C. in an effort to stop the zombie plague. But readers of The Walking Dead comic know there is much more to be revealed about the character, and according to the man who plays him, Michael Cudlitz, we will see it revealed soon enough. We chatted with Cudlitz to get his take on joining the show in full, revelations about Abraham's past, the big mission to D.C., and what else we can expect in season 5. (Click through both pages to read the entire interview.) READ FULL STORY

'The Walking Dead' star Norman Reedus says Daryl would 'probably be an a-hole'
Norman Reedus already spoke eloquently to us about the evolution of Daryl Dixon throughout the zombie apocalypse on The Walking Dead. It was thoughtful and moving. But what if the zombie apocalypse had never happened? We asked Reedus what he thinks Daryl would be up to if life as they knew it had never changed. And judging by his answer, maybe this whole killer plague has not have been such a bad thing for Mr. Dixon after all. READ FULL STORY
'The Walking Dead' star Melissa McBride talks Carol and the 'whole other different energy' of season 5
Carol was more of a background character when The Walking Dead first started on AMC. Sure, she had a crappy husband and had to deal with her zombified daughter, but she never quite seemed integral to the main story. That all changed last season when a hardened, no-nonsense Carol emerged and started recognizing that drastic times call for drastic measures. She killed Tyreese's girlfriend and some other poor schmo and burned their bodies in an attempt to stop the spread of a deadly virus: That lead to her being kicked out of the prison by Rick. And then she shot and killed her adopted daughter Lizzie after realizing the girl was a complete psychopath. (But a super sweet psychopath, it should be noted.)
All of this was played to pure perfection by actress Melissa McBride, who has helped turn Carol into one of the can't-miss-characters on the show. With The Walking Dead returning for season 5 on Oct. 12, we caught up with Melissa to chat about awards, spoilers, and what we can expect coming up. READ FULL STORY
'Walking Dead' star Steven Yeun describes a 'hardened' Glenn in season 5
Remember that scrappy kid who talked Rick out of the tank back in season 1 of The Walking Dead? Well, Glenn Rhee has changed quite a bit since then. First off, the dude is kind of buff. He also has gone from a solo act to part of the show's big love story — a love story that has had plenty of ups and downs. We asked the man who plays Glenn, Steven Yeun, to talk about his character's evolution, and you can see his response in the video player below. How exactly has Glenn changed since we first met him? READ FULL STORY
New 'Walking Dead' baddie Gareth (a.k.a. Andrew J. West) speaks
After following the signs promising safety and sanctuary to Terminus for half a season, Rick and Co. were trapped in a box car thanks to the seemingly diabolical dealings of the train yard's leader, Gareth. Even worse, several clues appear to hint that Gareth and the folks of Terminus plan on EATING their guests. But just who is this Gareth? And who is the man who plays him? We caught up with actor Andrew J. West after his epic road trip to Terminus to find out how he joined The Walking Dead, what he knows about what's coming up when the show returns on Oct. 12, and how he views the man holding the keys to train car A. (Click though both pages to read the entire interview.) READ FULL STORY
Nick Frost to guest star in Christmas episode of 'Doctor Who'
How's this for a slice of fried gold? The BBC announced today that actor Nick Frost (Shaun of the Dead, The World's End) will guest star in this year's special Christmas episode of Doctor Who, the production of which has now begun.
'The Walking Dead' star Danai Gurira wigs out
Michonne looks like a badass. And a good part of that badassery is due to her hair — those flowing dreadlocks that whip around as she is slicing and dicing zombies left and right. But it's not real. I'm not talking about the zombies — which are, of course, totally 100% real — but rather the hair. It's actually a wig worn by actress Dania Gurira to achieve maximum Michonne. READ FULL STORY
'The Walking Dead' star Andrew Lincoln says to fear the beard in season 5
No doubt about it: Rick Grimes has been in some hairy situations on The Walking Dead. And none have been hairier than that thing currently growing on his face. Some manly stubble has given way to a full-on assault of whiskers. Which I suppose is appropriate, this being the zombie apocalypse and all. After all, one has to assume the Gillette factory to be something less than fully operational these days. READ FULL STORY
Watch 'The Walking Dead' stars spill embarrassing secrets about their castmates
Everyone has secrets. And the cast members of The Walking Dead are no different. We already got them to come clean about Andrew Lincoln's curious choice in hairstyles, but we were far from done. READ FULL STORY
'The Walking Dead' creator Robert Kirkman says he knows 'exactly' how the comic will end
Robert Kirkman has multiple versions of The Walking Dead working in his head at all times. As the creator of the original Walking Dead comic book, there is that story to consider. And as an exec producer of the TV adaptation, there's that "remix" version to worry about as well. With the AMC show about to kick off season 5 on Oct. 12, I asked Kirkman if he and showrunner Scott M. Gimple had begun to think about the end game for the television version. READ FULL STORY

Guestbook comments from the owner
We spent 10 days here during late May and loved it. Unlike some rentals what you see in the pictures is what you get, and more. We were impressed with the finishing touches Michael and Denise added, large bottles of L'Occitane toiletries in the bathrooms, A bottle of French bubbles in the fridge along with some basics, condiments in the kitchen, books and DVD's, wooden coat hangers, blankets to put round the shoulders on chilly evenings.
The kitchen was well equipped, nice crockery and cutlery, pots and pans, excellent appliances, Miele fridge and dishwasher plus the washing machine and dryer in the garage.
The towels were large and fluffy, pool towels are supplied, plenty of outdoor furniture on which to relax.
The internet worked well, Michael has added a booster for good reception outside.
Having secure parking on the property was a bonus, we felt safe and secure and in fact didn't really feel the need to leave at all. Relaxing around the fabulous pool was the order of the day.
Thanks to you both for a memorable time, you are great hosts, I am now drinking much nicer rose'! We will return to our sanctuary at St Paul. Big hugs xx

RAMAPO, N.Y. (AP) — A bus carrying 16 inmates and three prison staffers from New York City to an upstate prison overturned Wednesday on the state Thruway, causing some minor injuries, officials said.
All the prisoners were secured, said Sharman Stein, spokeswoman for the city's Correction Department. She said there was no evidence they had caused the crash in an escape attempt.
"It was a traffic accident and nothing more than that," Stein said.
State police Capt. Evelyn Mallard said the bus apparently had been cut off by another vehicle.
The passengers were taken to Good Samaritan Hospital in Suffern, where spokeswoman Deborah Marshall said security precautions were in place.
The prisoners who came in were "appropriately handcuffed," Marshall said, and "they are being triaged in a separate area from our regular Emergency Department."
Marshall said 11 prisoners and the three staffers had already been seen, and all injuries were minor. None of the passengers was likely to be admitted, she said.
Northbound traffic on the Thruway, which is also Interstate 87, was at a standstill after the 10:30 a.m. crash. Police closed the northbound lanes and traffic quickly backed up for miles toward the Hudson River and the Tappan Zee Bridge.
The white Correction bus lay on its side across two of the three lanes, surrounded by police, fire, medical and prison vehicles. It was pulled upright at about 12:30 p.m.
Stein said the bus was heading north when it overturned in the Town of Ramapo, about 25 miles north of New York.
The accident occurred as the prisoners were on their way back to Ulster Correctional facility in Wawarsing, Stein said. They had been in city jails temporarily for court appearances, she said.
Ulster is a medium-security prison. Stein did not know what crimes the bus passengers had committed.

Error-Fixing Btrfs FSCK Tool Is Imminent
Published on 23 January 2012 12:13 PM EST
Written by
Michael Larabel
Linux Kernel
15 Comments
An fsck utility capable of fixing problems on the
Btrfs file-system
is imminent. Plus other features continue to be worked on for this next-generation, open-source Linux file-system.
Chris Mason, the Oracle employee who's been the lead developer of Btrfs, was one of the presenters this past weekend in Los Angeles at the
SCALE 10x conference
. Chris was obviously presenting on Btrfs.
In his hour-long talk, Chris went over the state of Btrfs, some of the features, performance, and contrasting this promising file-system to the other Linux file-systems (namely EXT4 and XFS).
During the talk, Chris did mention that RAID 5 and RAID 6 support will be pulled into the Btrfs tree once he is done with the file-system checking code. The RAID5/RAID6 code for Btrfs was written by Intel. This file-system-level RAID support complements the existing RAID 0, RAID 1, and RAID 10 support. RAID 5 offers block-level striping with parity data across all disk drives part of the RAID array. RAID 6 is an extension of RAID 5 that adds an additional parity block for having two parity blocks across all of the drives in the RAID array for greater redundancy and data loss recovering abilities.
Besides the RAID5/RAID6 Btrfs-level patches from Intel, Chris Mason will also be working on triple mirroring support for his file-system. Based upon the timeline of things, this greater RAID support will likely be merged for the Linux 3.4 or Linux 3.5 kernels. The Linux 3.4 kernel will also be bringing back support for larger block sizes, along with
Snappy transparent compression
Now what everyone's been waiting for... the fsck utility for Btrfs that's read-write to support properly fixing the Btrfs file-system in the event of problems, is coming soon. The fsck utility for Btrfs that supports writing (a read-only version has been available) has undergone several rewrites by Chris, but he thinks he's onto the final implementation. It looks like this will finally be released by the middle of February.
The enterprise versions of Oracle Linux and SUSE Enterprise Server are going to be shipped with Btrfs support and for this there needs to be the fsck support in place. Chris says the deadline for this is the 14th of February.
Should the Btrfs fsck materialize in February, this may mean that the
Fedora 17
"Beefy Miracle" Linux release will default to Btrfs as its file-system of choice. Fedora has been trying to be the first tier-one Linux distribution
shipping with Btrfs by default
, but it always ended up being cut largely because of the missing file-system checker.
Chris mentioned he would have preferred seeing all of this code running in Fedora first before the production enterprise releases of Oracle Linux and SUSE, but it just didn't work out. Fedora has been shipping with experimental Btrfs support for several releases now, including several interesting features to take advantage of the Btrfs file-system like
system snapshots with roll-back support
using the Btrfs copy-on-write snapshots.
A complete fsck utility also likely makes it closer to seeing Btrfs by default in Ubuntu Linux. Based upon how historically Fedora is first to pick-up upstream features and then a release or two later finding their way to Ubuntu, the feature freeze for Ubuntu 12.04 being in February (and being a Long-Term Support cycle), it wouldn't be until at least Ubuntu 12.10 in October that we see Btrfs within Ubuntu by default (it too has supported install-time Btrfs support for a few release cycles now). Chances are though the Btrfs migration wouldn't happen until Ubuntu 13.04, but we will see in a few months during the Ubuntu Developer Summit for 12.10 to see what happens.
Transparent encryption for Btrfs was also brought up. While transparent compression is supported (
, and Snappy), transparent encryption isn't yet handled within Btrfs. There is support for a transparent encryption within the Btrfs on-disk format, but the rest of the code is not done. However, dm-crypt can be used just fine with Btrfs as a means of encryption for now, albeit with a slight latency cost.
Chris Mason also commented on Oracle's IP/patent state of Btrfs when brought up by an audience member. Oracle has no patents covering Btrfs. Additionally, Chris said he ensured early on to get some open-source kernel developers that are open-source fanatics and would "never agree to a license change" to get copyrighted code in Btrfs.

The 50-share Nifty ended at its highest closing level in 2014 while the 30-share Sensex hit an all time closing high in the day's trade. The positive tone for the market was set in noon trades when European markets started in the green reversing some of its earlier losses.
For the day, the Sensex closed up 36 points at 21,374 and the Nifty gained seven points to close for the day at 6,345.
- Among the 12 BSE Sectoral Indices 4 sectors closed in positive while - sectors ended the day in negative. Top Gainers: BSE Consumer Durables up by 2.33% and BSE Capital Goods by 1.84%. Top Losers: BSE Auto down by 1.05% and BSE Oil & Gas by 0.46%.
Market breadth was negative at ~0.85 as investors sold large cap stocks. On provisional basis, FII's bought Rs 4.34bn worth of Indian equities and DII's sold Rs 3.94bn worth of equities.
Economic and Corporate Developments
- Improvement in fuel availability as well as the financial health of distribution companies has helped the power sector but certain concerns continue to be a drag, India Ratings & Research said.
It assigned a stable to negative outlook to the power sector for financial year 2014-15.
The outlook reflects the pending policy level issues, manifestation of risks undertaken in earlier years, mismatches in coal demand and supply and continued tariff pressures, India Ratings said in a statement.
Part of the Fitch Group, the agency has maintained Stable Outlook on power entities for the next fiscal.
- The government is working towards meeting the Rs 40,000 crore target it had set from selling off stake in state-owned firms in the current fiscal, Minister of State for Finance J D Seelam said in a statement.
With barely two months to go before the 2013-14 fiscal ends, the government has so far garnered only about Rs 3,000 crore from PSU stake sale proceeds.
Unlikely to meet the ambitious disinvestment target, it is counting on higher dividends from PSUs and banks to keep its fiscal deficit under check.

Aoyama gives Hiroshima perfect start
Toshihiro Aoyama's second-half goal ensured Sanfrecce Hiroshima began their Club World Cup campaign with a flourish at Yokohama International Stadium as they won 1-0.
The J.League champions dominated throughout although they spurned several chances before a spectacular long-range strike from Aoyama sent New Zealand outfit Auckland City out of the tournament.
Sanfrecce will next take on African champions Al Ahly on Sunday.
