Yankees pitcher Michael Pineda has been suspended for 10 games after being tossed out of Wednesday night's game in Boston when umpires discovered pine tar on his neck in the second inning.
The suspension begins Thursday unless the Yankees decide to appeal.
A 10-game suspension guarantees the 25-year-old would miss at least one start.
The former All-Star admitted after the game to using the illegal substance to get a better grip on the ball in the cold weather.
Fans who spoke with NY1 had a mixed reaction.
"I don't think it was really cheating, it's just getting grip on the ball," said one Yankees fan.
"It definitely makes a difference. Gripping the ball, getting spin on the ball, movement of the ball. So it's definitely a disadvantage for the other team," said another Yankees fan.
"It's about the sport and the integrity of the game," noted a third Yankees fan.
Pineda had previously gotten away with applying a foreign substance to the ball earlier this month during a game against Boston at Yankee Stadium.

aftermarket headunit install?????
hey everyone,
I have an 08 cobalt ls sedan. It came with the basic stereo no pioneer upgrades or anything like that. I already have a jvc kd-g230 head unit that i had in my jeep. Its still in good shape cause i had it in for about a month before i sold the jeep. I was wondering how do i go about installing the after market stereo in my car. I am putting it in cause i want to put some subs and an amp in real soon but i don't want to have to pay anyone to do it. I have some wiring knowledge but not a ton. Can anyone help me out and steer me in the right direction with this? thanx.
its pretty simple...you'll need a wiring harness for your car, found easily online. some places may try to sell you the GMLAN adapter, which isnt necessary for the cobalts, unless gm changed it for 08. you'll also need the mounting hardware which is just a plastic piece to hold your single DIN stereo in a double DIN sized space.
to remove the old stereo, begin by popping off the trim around the stereo. but in order to pop it off, you'll need to pop off the trim above the glove box, and the similar trim on the other side of the stereo. dont be afraid to use some force, they can be a ***** to pull off. once thats removed, pull the stereo trim off and you should see 4 bolts that hold the stereo in place. not positive on the size but it cant be too hard to figure out. remove the stereo and disconnect the harness and antenna from the unit. for the antenna you might need a gm mini adapter, as they tend to be smaller than most antenna plugs. you should be ready to install the new stereo.
go ahead and bolt up the new stereo mount. it should just line up as the old stereo did. i hope you know which wire is which with the aftermarket HU(most have a wiring diagram). wire up the harness from the new HU with the adapter harness you bought for the cobalt. make sure each wire is correct because you dont wanna finish and find out it doesnt work. now for power, you'll have to run a separate wire down to the fuse box. attach it to the power wire on the headunit, then find a fuse (i prefer the windshield wiper fuse) and tap into it. this should give you a constant power source. at this point, the harness should be plugged in, as well as the antenna and you can turn the beast on to see if it works. if so, slide the stereo in the slot and put everything back together as it was!
thanx for the help. i have another question though. i went to a local audio shop today and they said i need that gm adapter and its $120. do i absolutely need that or will i just loose chimes and stuff like that. some guy told me that was in the shop not even an employee just some random guy and he said my car wouldn't even run if i didn't have the adapter which i find very hard to believe.
an audio shop told me the same exact thing. i told the installer there that im going to try it without it, and if it didnt work THEN i'd come back to him. i installed it just as i said and everything worked fine. you shouldnt lose chimes or anything.
yea i put it in without problems my first try around, just take off the "-" battery terminal at the beginning and remember to put it back on before you think it doesnt work
so how do u connect all those wires to the new hu without an addapter, and did you lose your oil life and those other info things
i have an 05 cobalt ls any help please
go to crutchfield.com and search for products for ur car....buy the 15$ wiring harness, attach it to ur aftermarket H/U, the plug it directly into the cars stock harness.................... 2006 cobalt ls didn't lose oil life ,lights, nor chimes
'06 cobalt LS, 18s, window tint, 2 Alpine 12" subs, 800 watt Pioneer amp,
Pioneer 6x9's, Alpine 6.5" and tweeters, shorty antenna,
black and cobalt interior repaint, black and cobalt neoprene seat covers
RIP Cobalt Totaled Sept. 2011
Current Car 2011 WRX
Project Victory_Red_SS Keep the dream alive.
I hardwired mine in like some of the other guys on here, to do that you have to cut the factory harnesses out but I made sure to leave enough wire from the harnesses incase I ever decide to place the stock head unit back into the car. Only thing I lost was the clicking noise from the blinkers. You have to run the headunit power and memory wires to a power source such as the cig lighter under the radio and ac controls. I unplugged the cig lighter harness to prevent from the socket being used and blowing the fuse. Then you just have to find out what speaker wires are which and wire them up. I went this route because the cheapest harness I found was 230 bucks for my car.

Thrustmaster Reveals HOTAS WARTHOG: Serious Joystick For Serious Gamers
The HOTAS WARTHOG is aiming to be the most realistic flight sim joystick on the market, and it has a lot going for it. It's definitely not just another stick; the build materials are above average, you've got more buttons than you'll probably know what to do with and a price tag that will keep away all but the hardcore flight sim gamers. The reason this unit is so special is that it's a full replica of the joystick, dual throttle system and dual throttle control panel of the U.S. Air Force A-10C attack aircraft.
The unit itself weighs over 14 lbs., so you'll be sure you aren't playing with some flimsy toy. And the whole thing is also mostly constructed of metal. There are 55 fully programmable action buttons and 2 four-direction hat switches, each with a built-in push button; it's the first joystick in the world to incorporate such a feature.
It's designed for use with the PC and will be on sale this month for $499.99. Definitely not cheap, but you'll most likely get what you pay for in this scenario.
Thrustmaster Launches the HOTAS WARTHOG™, A Realistic Joystick For Flight Enthusiasts
Thrustmaster provides a solution for gamers with a need for speed setting a new worldwide benchmark for gaming joysticks
New York, NY – (October 7, 2010) - Thrustmaster, the innovative PC and console accessory brand, unveils their new flagship gaming product, the HOTAS WARTHOG™, a full replica of the joystick, dual throttle system and dual throttle control panel of the U.S. Air Force A-10C attack aircraft. Weighing in at more than 14 lbs, the joystick, throttle handles and bases are constructed of mostly metal. With 55 fully programmable action buttons and 2 four-direction hat switches, each with a built-in push button (the first joystick in the world to incorporate such a feature), the HOTAS WARTHOG™ is in a class of its own. It will be available at the end of October for $499.99 SRP.
The HOTAS WARTHOG™ joystick is the result of an intense collaboration between Thrustmaster's development teams and members of the flight sim community. Exchanges between the two sides and studies were carried out constantly throughout the product's development phase in order to create a joystick which meets the most exact and specific requirements of these expert users.
The three key parts in the HOTAS WARTHOG™ that make up an effective, complete set include:
The Joystick
* Action Buttons- The joystick features 19 action buttons, along with a "Point Of View" hat
* Extreme precision - Employs the H.E.A.R.T HallEffect AccuRate Technology™* magnetic sensor system: 16-bit precision (65536 x 65536 values), with no gimbals (cardan joints)
* Actual Airplane Button Resistance – Pressing on the joystick's buttons and triggers requires pressure identical to that required in an actual airplane – a true first in the world of joysticks
* Detachable Joystick – For complete freedom of use for flight simmers, the joystick handle is detachable and can also be used on the base of the HOTAS Cougar™
* Detachable Base – allows users to install the joystick in a cockpit
The Throttles
* Dual Throttle System – Allows for independent control of 2 motors: a locking system lets the user either attach the 2 throttles together, or keep them independent of one another
* Magnetic Sensor Technology – The magnetic sensor technology used for the throttles (14-bit resolution, with 16384 values on each throttle) provides unrivalled precision
* Pull and Push System – Switching to the idle and afterburner detents is carried out via a Pull and Push* system, for even greater realism
* Afterburner Detent – Can be disengaged, allowing users to perfectly adapt the throttle control to the type of airplane they are piloting
* Multiple Function Throttles – Feature a total of 17 action buttons, a "Point Of View" hat and a "mouse hat / slew control"
The Control Panel
* Multiple Controls – The control panel provides an extensive number and variety of controls
* Friction Wheel – Allows users to manually adjust the resistance of the throttles according to their own preference
* Backlit Functions – Users will appreciate the 5 programmable LEDs and backlighting during low-light conditions or dark night flights
* Trim Wheel - The base includes a "trim wheel" and 15 action buttons, including numerous push buttons with resistance identical to that on a real airplane and industrial metal switches (2 or 3 positions) with highly realistic pressure
Innovative, high-performance software
The HOTAS WARTHOG™ joystick's deadly weapon is known as T.A.R.G.E.T (Thrustmaster Advanced pRogramming Graphical EdiTor). T.A.R.G.E.T is a software suite allowing users to test, configure and program Thrustmaster® controllers, chief among them the all-new HOTAS WARTHOG™, but also the MFD Cougar, the HOTAS Cougar™ and the T.16000M.
* Create Programming Configurations – Users can create programming configurations which are either more or less complex simply by using the mouse and the Drag and Drop principle
* Three different programming Levels – "Basic", to get started; "Advanced", to employ more advanced functions; and finally "Script", to harness the full power of the software
* New Script Language – In this software suite, the standard Script language has been totally rewritten to provide more flexibility, new functions and virtually unlimited possibilities
* The Powerful Software Application – Can simulate virtual devices such as a keyboard, joystick and mouse, in order to simulate all of the actions required for these devices' use and are measured on the axes and buttons of the physical controllers, but sent to software applications via a virtual controller
* Total Interaction – T.A.R.G.ET allows interaction between different Thrustmaster USB controllers, with simplified configurations in simulators, and the use of a single preset for all controllers, rather than having to use multiple different presets as controllers
* Built-In Presets – T.A.R.G.E.T includes built-in presets for well-known games (both recent and older titles), and lets users create new presets too
I haven't played a flight sim in years, but seeing hardware like this makes me want to. Ahhh... now I'm getting nostalgic about Aces of the Pacific.
Just in time for....
Microsoft 'Flight Simulator' Returns As Microsoft 'Flight'
Microsoft's "Flight Simulator" is back - sort of.
The game, which Microsoft famously shut down at the beginning of 2009(http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2339520,00.asp)
will take wing again in Microsoft "Flight," which Microsoft revealed during the August Gamescom event in Cologne, Germany.
Microsoft hasn't released pricing or even a ship date for the new title, just this teaser trailer at the company's site. It depicts the external view of a small single-engine plane flying over a realistic-looking ocean.
Fans of the series may be a bit unnerved by the fact that Microsoft has eliminated the word "Simulator" from the title, added a the outline of a buxom pilot to the right side of the screen, and said it will be "welcoming everyone, including long-time fans, to experience the magic of flight".
Microsoft Game Studios will develop the title, Microsoft said.
Wow and I thought my N52te was serious business.
[quote user="3vi1"]
How do you like that n52te, Bob? I hear that it's pretty easy to use with Linux, using pystromo, but I've never touched one.
I have not tried pystromo, but the thing I love about both my Logitech G500 and Belkin N52te is that they both have onboard memory. I dual boot on my desktop Win 7 and Ubuntu. So I set them up in Windows once and I have all my settings including macros in Linux. Works great on both products. I did try setting up a VM in VirtualBox and seeing if I could change stuff without rebooting. Didn't work, but it might with some tweaking.
Overall though I really like it. I used to have a N50 back when I played UT2K4 that I got from Big Lots for $5. I used to love that thing so I finally picked this up from BestBuy a while back. I set the Dpad up as WASD which is really weird to get used to, but once you do you have your whole hand full of keys for anything you could need. I put them all to use too.
On second though about pystromo. The N50 and N52 are both build by Belkin. The N52te is actually Razer build and use Razer drivers. They are not compatible with the N52 drivers or profiles, so before you get one I would check and make sure it works with the TE.
Logitech also makes the G13 which looks similar. I played with it at at BestBuy and it has the little screen and is only like $5 more, but I really just didn't like the joystick.
That is Frackin Awsome!
It looks very durable and when it comes to yokes that is the main issue! That is why I have been putting off getting one of the X-52's.
But 500 bills! Jeez!
I think I will wait until it goes on special at Fry's for around 100!
Hmmm... look at the baseplates of those. they're designed to be absolutely perfect when mounted to an arcade control panel. You could use a hole-drill and slide the joystick up from underneath the panel, and cut a square that perfectly fits the thrust controls.
If my arcade cabinet did not already have 33 buttons, four joysticks, a trackball, and a spinner, I would seriously consider it.
Hmmm... look at the baseplates of those.
Yeah,.. try explaining it to the wife, when she comes home and find out that you have drilled holes and mounted it onto the coffee table!
Back in LA I actually built a stand that could mount on the couch like a TV tray that I could use with the flight yoke and the driving wheel with just about ten dollars of wood from home depot
[quote user="animatortom"]Yeah,.. try explaining it to the wife, when she comes home and find out that you have drilled holes and mounted it onto the coffee table!
I honestly think Jen would just look and it and sit down at her computer. When I told her year before last that I wanted water cooling for my PC for my birthday and she just said ok I knew that I needed to marry her.
People with a very popular motherboard chipset forget buying this product.
It seems that customers $500 devices are being bricked due to poor QA testing when in development.
Anyone with a Asus motherboard or motherboards that use similar chipsets are exposed to the risk of catastrophic failure.
TM agree that that certain motherboards that use the chipset are bricking units.
There have been hundreds of units bricked, see:

FILE - In this June 7, 2011 file courtroom sketch, Chicago businessman Tahawwur Rana, left, appears in federal court in Chicago. Rana is scheduled to be sentenced Thursday, Jan 17, 2013, in Chicago for backing terrorism in Denmark and supporting a Pakistani terrorist group that staged deadly attacks on Mumbai, India, in 2008. (AP Photo/Tom Gianni, File)
NEW DELHI (AP) — India expressed disappointment Friday with the 35-year sentence given to an American who admitted his role in the 2008 Mumbai attack, saying he deserved more prison time for the terrorism that killed 166 people in the country's financial capital.
David Headley was sentenced Thursday in a U.S. federal court in Chicago. External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid said he would have possibly received a "more serious and severe" sentence had he been tried in India.
"The 35-year sentence is a beginning. We will continue our efforts to ensure that he is extradited and brought to India for trial," Khurshid told reporters.
Headley, 52, was born in the U.S. to a Pakistani father and an American mother and changed his changed his birth name from Daood Gilani. He admitted that he helped plan the attack and videotaped targets that were later attacked.
In the three-day rampage, 10 gunmen from a Pakistani-based militant group fanned out across Mumbai, attacking a crowded train station, a landmark hotel and a Jewish center, among other targets.
Headley was arrested in the U.S. in 2009 and entered into a plea bargain with U.S. investigators under which he provided information about terror networks.

Is it an airplane, or is it a time
machine? American Legend Aircraft Company said Friday it has
received certification for its Amphibious Legend FloatCub, making
it available immediately. This new aircraft is based on a
lightweight version of the Legend Cub and is configured with
amphibious floats from supplier Baumann Floats, LLC, of New
Richmond, Wisconsin. The Amphibious Legend FloatCub is a certified
light-sport aircraft that meets the category's seaplane
requirements with a simple, repositionable landing gear.
Since its first flight in July 2009, the Amphibious Legend
FloatCub, has traveled cross-country from Texas to Oshkosh,
Wisconsin, and Greenville, Maine, then back. The Amphibious Legend
FloatCub has made countless hard surface and water landings,
proving its value as a top performing, versatile seaplane. At the
36th Annual International Seaplane Fly-In in Greenville, Maine,
last month, the American Legend Amphibious FloatCub took two
awards: "Best Take-Off" and "Cutest Darn Aircraft."
"The new Amphibious Legend FloatCub has several advantages over
other Cubs and seaplanes," said Kurt Sehnert, general manager of
American Legend Aircraft Company. "Firstly, doors on both sides of
the cockpit give the Legend Cub pilot and passenger easy access
when docking the aircraft. Secondly, the Legend Cub's electric
start, which did not exist on the original J-3, eliminates the
precarious step of hand-propping and maneuvering back to the
cockpit. We are excited about this aircraft and share this
enthusiasm with our customers. We believe putting floats on an
already fun aircraft increases the amount of fun substantially."
The first customer aircraft is currently in production. The
Amphibious Legend FloatCub sells for $159,000.
Baumann has been manufacturing FAA certified for lightweight and
medium duty aircraft floats since 1989.
The Legend Cub has held the #1 spot as the best selling

I have been trying to make a hackintosh out of my laptop (Specs at bottom) using the retail 10.6.x disk and so far nothing has worked completely. I have had the most success with iAtkos S3 V2 but still remain stuck at the installation screen. I have been using iB`oot Legacy and notice that at the boot screen, it shows 2 harddisks with no names. When I finally get to the installation screen and load up Disk Utility it shows -

I am willing to erase my entire harddrive if I need to but would like to possibly try to avoid that. I have already searched around on Google and been trying everything to get this to work for a few weeks but I have not made any progress. Any help will be appreciated!
HP Pavilion dv6t Quad Edition -

So far from my post from http://www.tonymacx8...hp?f=34&t=54651 I have been only told to reformat everything, install snow leopard, and then windows 7 (I don't have a genuine W7 disk from HP but I have the pirated version). I would like to eventually try to upgrade to Lion but that is something to worry about later. I wanted to see if anyone has had the same problem or found alternate ways since I have not been given any option but to go in blind reformatting and erasing my HD and risk having an unbootable laptop for a few days. The reason why I have not been able to install Lion is because of the "PMAP_steal_memory" panic with already several arguments running for boot.

We don't have X-ray vision. When we have an X-ray or mammogram, we cannot detect the radiation beam that passes through our bone or soft tissue, neither can our doctor. But what if we could see X-rays? When we use powerful X-rays for cancer treatment, we could see how they hit the tumor. If we were off target, we could stop and make adjustments to improve accuracy. Pinpoint precision is important. The goal of radiation is to kill cancer cells without harming healthy tissue.
Safety in Radiation Oncology
The Cherenkov effect in the laboratory
As a first step, engineers at the Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth modified a regular camera with a night vision scope to take photos of radiation beams as they passed through water. What appeared on the photos is the Cherenkov effect, a luminescent blue glow. (An engineering student, Adam Glaser, explains how it works in this video.)
To refine the approach for use in radiation treatment, scientists used a mannequin of the human body. They measured and studied the results to refine their ability to capture the luminescence, experimenting with beam size, position, and wavelength.
Cherenkov imaging used for first time in treatment setting
With the clinical aspects refined, Geisel School of Medicine researchers photographed luminescence during the routine radiation treatment of a dog with an oral tumor. (Read "The Power of Small Cures" to learn more about the dog's care.)
This was the first time Cherenkov studies came out of the laboratory and into a treatment setting. The scientists coined the approach Cherenkoscopy. As they anticipated, during the session they were able to see detailed information about the treatment field and the dose. The results were published in the November 2013 issue of the Journal of Biomedical Optics.
"This first observation in the dog proved that we could image a radiation beam during treatment in real time," said David Gladstone, ScD, chief of Clinical Physics at Norris Cotton Cancer Center. "The images verified the shape of the beam as well as intended motion of the treatment machine."
First image of Cherenkov emissions during treatment of human breast
Now ready to use the technology with a human patient, the team prepared to view radiation as it entered the body of a female breast cancer patient undergoing radiation in July 2013.
"Breast cancer is suited for this because the imaging visualizes the superficial dose of radiation to the skin," said Lesley A. Jarvis, MD, radiation oncologist, Norris Cotton Cancer Center. Skin reactions, similar to sunburn, are a common and bothersome side effect during breast radiation. "By imaging and quantitating the surface dose in a way that has never been done before," said Jarvis, "we hope to learn more about the physical factors contributing to this skin reaction."
By seeing the effect of radiation on the body, radiation oncologists and physicists can make adjustments to avoid side effects to the skin. Most radiation patients undergo somewhere between 8-20 sessions. The Cherenkov images of the breast cancer patient showed a hot spot in her underarm, which physicians and physicists could work to prevent in future sessions.
"The actual images show that we are treating the exact correct location, with the appropriate beam modifications and with the precise dose of radiation," said Jarvis.
Clinical use of Cherenkov emissions proves successful
This trial showed that the Cherenkov effect is feasible for use real-time during radiation. "We have learned the imaging is easy to incorporate into the patient's treatment, adding only minimal time to the treatments," said Jarvis.
"The time needed to acquire this information is negligible, even with our experimental, non-integrated system," said Gladstone. "Cherenkov images were found to contain much richer information than anticipated, specifically, we did not expect to visualize internal blood vessels."
Mapping blood vessels opens up opportunities for radiation oncology to use a person's internal anatomy to confirm precise locations. Skin tattoos on patients determine a preliminary alignment that is verified with X-rays, which show bony anatomy or implanted markers. Cherenkov imaging allow technicians to visualize soft tissue and internal vasculature.
A possible safety net for radiation treatment
By integrating Cherenkov imaging into routine clinical care, Gladstone says the technology could be used to verify that the proper dose is being delivered to patients, helping to avoid misadministration of radiation therapy, a rare, but dangerous occurrence.
Twelve patients are participating in a pilot study, which is almost complete. The research team plans to publish the results in a peer reviewed journal. The Cherenkov effect project team includes Lesley Jarvis, MD, assistant professor of Medicine, Geisel School of Medicine; Brian Pogue, PhD, professor of Engineering, Thayer School, professor of Physics & Astronomy, Dartmouth College, professor of Surgery, Geisel School of Medicine; David J. Gladstone, ScD, DABMP associate professor of Medicine, Geisel School of Medicine; Adam Glaser, engineering student; Rongxiao Zhang, physics student; Whitney Hitchcock, medical school student.
With each trial the team gathers more information on the utility of the approach. "Stay tuned, we are now planning more definitive studies to determine the impact of this new imaging technology to improve safety of radiation," said Jarvis.
The research was supported by a grant from the National Cancer Institute (grant R01CA109558) and NCCC Developmental Funds. To learn more about Norris Cotton Cancer Center's clinical research studies, visit http://cancer.dartmouth.edu/pf/clinical_trial_search.html

Seattle Man Arrested, Charged In $65 Million Ponzi Scheme
Oil and gas scam solicited 300 investors. Three men face 23-count indictment
OLYMPIA – Bellevue resident Robert Miracle was arrested at his home Feb. 5, 2009 and charged in connection with a $65 million oil and gas investment "Ponzi" scheme. Miracle and two men from Malaysia and Indonesia, Mukhtar Kechik and Fahimi Fisal, face a 23-count indictment alleging conspiracy, mail fraud, wire fraud, money laundering and tax evasion.
The Washington State Department of Financial Institutions (DFI) is investigating the case with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation Division.DFI's Division of Securities began investigating Miracle and his related oil and gas companies in 2006 for violations of state securities laws. In December of 2006, the Department filed charges against Miracle to stop fraudulent sales of unregistered securities in the state. The Department alleged that investors were told that they would receive a $5,000,000 return on a $100,000 investment within 18 years on an Indonesian oil and gas drilling venture. In April 2007, the Department issued a Final Order (PDF)* to Cease and Desist against Miracle to halt the illegal sale of investments. The Department referred the matter to the US Attorney's Office in Seattle.
Miracle is accused of operating at least five companies involving oil development in Malaysia and Indonesia. The indictment alleges that $28 million of investor funds were instead used to support lavish lifestyles of Miracle, Kechik, Fisal and their families — including a week-long cruise for more 10 of Miracle's family members at a cost of $77,000. Additional details regarding this case may be found on the U.S. Attorney's Web site.
"While we are pleased to see these men brought to justice and facing charges for deceiving and defrauding investors, this case only exemplifies the need for consumers to be even more vigilant," DFI Division of Securities Director Michael Stevenson said. "It is more important than ever for consumers to investigate brokers and investments before parting with their money."
Protect yourself from investment fraud by asking questions:
- Are you and your firm registered to sell investment products?
- Are you registered with the SEC?
- Are you registered with Washington's Department of Financial Institutions?
- What is your license number?
- Is this investment registered with the SEC or Washington DFI?
Don't invest any money until you've verified the answers to these questions. DFI partners with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) to get investors the information they need to make sound investing decisions. Before you invest, visit www.saveandinvest.org or http://www.dfi.wa.gov/consumers/findcompany.htm and make sure the broker you're working with and the investment they are recommending is registered. You can also call 888.295.7422.

GATK requires that all bam files be indexed, but all GATK produce index files automatically, so usually you don't see it requested by any tools apart from the very first in your pipeline. The question is, what happened to the index file produced by ReduceReads?
Geraldine Van der Auwera, PhD
Ah ha, what a dummy I am! I didn't realize ReduceReads also produces an index file. No wonder HC never asked for the index file before because I kept all those files at each step. But this time I thought I could delete all of them and only kept the last reduced bam file, ...
Well, learn from mistakes! But I'm sorry for wasting your time, Geraldine and Lavinia!
btw, I think it might be good to add that note to the docs of ReduceReads, so others won't make the same mistake.

January 7, 2013 By Wayne Hanson
At a press conference on Dec. 19, President Obama launched an initiative to "not only deter mass shootings in the future, but to reduce the epidemic of gun violence that plagues this country every single day."
The president went on to say that even though no law or set of laws can prevent all gun violence, effective action needs to be taken to reduce gun violence in the country. In addition, the president charged Vice President Biden with heading a group that is to come up with concrete proposals by the end of this month. "We're going to need to work on making access to mental health care at least as easy as access to a gun," President Obama said. "We're going to need to look more closely at a culture that all too often glorifies guns and violence."
The president also hinted at some of the possible recommendations, saying that "A majority of Americans support banning the sale of military-style assault weapons. A majority of Americans support banning the sale of high-capacity ammunition clips. A majority of Americans support laws requiring background checks before all gun purchases, so that criminals can't take advantage of legal loopholes to buy a gun from somebody who won't take the responsibility of doing a background check at all."
So the first approach will likely focus on the types of weapons and ammunition offered for sale, where they can be carried and whether they can be carried openly or concealed, loaded or empty. The second target will be gun owners and gun buyers, and whether they are at risk for violence -- if they have been convicted of violent crimes or have serious mental health issues, for instance. The third target might be violent movies, TV shows and video games.
While these measures may sound positive, they have serious shortcomings, and could result in no significant reduction in gun violence. First, half the households in America have one or more guns. Most likely, these guns are unregistered, and guns don't deterioriate -- but they can be stolen, and would become prime targets if new purchases were restricted. If a national database were instituted to preclude individuals from purchasing guns, "straw purchasers" would buy weapons for them, as is already the case.
"Guns don't kill people, people do," as the saying goes. But predicting those who would commit violent acts is a "work in progress" as outlined in a recent Washington Post article, which states that few mentally ill are going to commit violent acts, and those at risk for doing so may slip beneath the radar.
Some even feel that the mental health establishment is part of the problem, as psychiatrists dispense powerful medications that carry black box warnings for suicide and other mental upheavals. And ironically, it was a psychiatrist who killed 13 people and wounded 29 in the November 2009 Fort Hood shooting in Texas.
Following the Fort Hood shootings, the Department of Defense began a study and released a report last summer, titled Predicting Violent Behavior, which concluded, in part, that "there is no effective formula for predicting violent behavior with any degree of accuracy."
Attempts to regulate weapons and weapons purchases, as well as attempts to find those who have a potential for violent behavior, are likely to heavily intrude into Americans' privacy and freedoms.
President Obama mentioned that our culture "glorifies guns and violence." And he may be right. According to one study cited in a University of Michigan report, "An average American child will see 200,000 violent acts and 16,000 murders on TV by age 18." Possible connections between violent acts and exposure to violent movies, TV and video games will likely be investigated at length.
As President Obama said, nothing will prevent gun violence entirely. But one technology that has been around for a decade or more offers some assistance in preventing gun violence, as well as in locating and responding to shootings very quickly. The technology is called "gunshot location detection," and a number of U.S. cities now employ these systems.
The idea is that a loud sound in a city is picked up on a series of microphones, triangulated to locate that sound, and the sound waves examined to see if it resulted from a gunshot or merely a firecracker or automobile backfire. If the sound is a gunshot, the exact location is sent to emergency services within a few seconds. And the newest addition to the system is facial recognition that instantly IDs shooters.
At first glance, it might seem that such a system would be useful for responding quickly to gun violence, but would not be of use in predicting it. But according to Rocky Mount, N.C., Police Sargeant Kevin Bern, weapons that have been stolen and are about to be sold, are fired to make sure they work. And gangs often fire weapons before they are about to engage in violence. These "confidence shots," as Bern called them, show up on the system and can be investigated. That is especially important since only about 20 percent of urban gunshots are reported by the public. In addition, illegal "celebratory gunfire" on New Years Eve or the Fourth of July can be located, and once people know the gunshot location system is in place, such gunfire diminishes.
The gunshot detection systems also can detect if a series of gunshots are moving -- as fired from a car -- and in which direction, and can after the fact, help locate shell casings and other evidence.
Since gunshot location systems were first developed, they have increased in accuracy, and are less expensive to obtain, with some available by subscription for $40,000-$60,000 per square mile of coverage, according to one estimate.
Other technologies are in development that are useful for forensics. One system could prevent anyone but the registered owner from firing a weapon. Another etches the firing pin with a serial number that is transferred to the shell casing each time it is fired.
For more on this subject, read the March 2013 issue of Government Technology magazine.
If a survey is conducted that includes every American Citizen cognizant to under stand the question and only 35 million respond and 51 % of the respondents are for something, how is that a majority of all American Citizens. This is how we are so taken in by the media and other news outlets. There is not one single entity that can ask everyone in America a survey question and get everyone to respond. So a sampling is taken across a biased section of the realm and then Statisticians compile that information and spin it to fit the needs of the pro or con side to an issue and then Magnanimously present it as "the majority....". Give me a break show me where the majority believes anything and then I might be inclined to fully read the entire article. Until then I will keep my "tool" in the case of emergency and if you come looking to create trouble you better be prepared to understand my side of the argument.
You fail to mention that the Fort Hood shooter is simply a Muslim terrorist of Palestinian descent. The fact that he is a psychiatrist is rather beside the point--when he was in contact with Middle Eastern terrorists. Not so much a lone wolf...and really not "ironic" at all...
There is a simple solution to this complex problem. Military grade weaponry has no business being in the hands of civilians, period. Sale and posession should be illegal, period. If you can't carry a grenade, or drive an armed/armored tank thru town, fly your own F-18 or posess a nuclear warhead, why would a military assault rifle be any different at all? Ban it, now..!
With regards to DG: The first news story of the day, on the day of the Newtown shooting (before the shooting), was of a man in China who killed or wounded nearly thirty people at an elementary school using a knife. Must we all turn in our knives now? The term "assault weapon", in the terms of firearms, was originally defined as a fully automatically loaded and fired weapon -- one which fires multiple rounds with a single press of the trigger. These are still banned. You must have a special license to own one, so there are very few of them out there outside of government hands. The term "assault weapon", with regards to firearms, is now being defined to include those firearms that are considered to be "semi-automatic" in that they load the next round as soon as the last was fired, but requiring the shooter to again press the trigger for the next round to be fired. This description intentionally includes all gas-loaded semi-auto weapons, including pistols. It also can be used to include revolvers, those weapons which revolve a loaded cylinder to place a new round ready to be fired as the last shot is fired. Revolvers rotate to place a new round as ready and require a second press of the trigger, too. Double action revolvers, which do not require the hammer to be pulled back for every shot, can be fired as fast as a semi-auto pistol can. So, with that definition in place, the government limits firearms availability to bolt/slide/lever action and single shot weapons. These are also used by the military in combat, so they can also be termed "assault weapons", so then what is left? Where do you stop?
The British Army marched on Concord and Lexington in search of muskets and other military supplies. The British government had banned firearms so that the colonists would have no teeth in their disagreements with the government. The colonists had hidden their supplies to keep them from the hands of the army in case they had to defend themselves from the army, which they did. The 2nd Amendment of the Constitution exists because there was determined a need for Americans to be able to defend their Constitutional rights from any government which would seek to curtail those rights, because it was perceived that any government by man can become abusive, and the founders wanted this new country to be able to exercise its desire to remain free -- tyrant or not.

Pau Gasol was in Boston Wednesday but not getting ready for a matchup with Kevin Garnett and the Celtics at TD Garden.
Following an MRI, the Lakers big man was diagnosed with a torn plantar fascia in his right foot Wednesday in Boston, sidelining the 7-footer indefinitely, just as the Lakers (23-26) were showing signs of turning around a season that right now has them on the outside looking in on the playoffs.
Gasol felt a pop in his foot Tuesday night late in the Lakers' 92-83 victory over the Brooklyn Nets and Wednesday's exam in Boston confirmed his fears.
While his teammates get ready to take on the Celtics Thursday night at TD Garden, Gasol will fly to Los Angeles to be examined by team physician Steve Lombardo and foot specialist Kenneth Jung. The Lakers announced Wednesday they will give a timeline for Gasol's return after his LA exam. The injury could knock Gasol out for the season if he undergoes surgery.
I'm hoping to recover asap so I can be back with the team and keep fighting until the end of the season. #GoLakers #AlwaysPositive
— Pau Gasol (@paugasol) February 6, 2013
The Lakers are losing Gasol just as it appears they're turning a corner. They come into Boston as winners of six of seven games, including three in a row on their season-long seven-game road trip. The Lakers have played the last three games without center Dwight Howard, who has a torn labrum in his right shoulder, and top backup big man Jordan Hill is out for the season with a bad hip.
Gasol has been dealing with tendinitis in both knees and fasciitis for two months. The four-time All-Star big man also missed five games in January with a concussion. Since then, Gasol largely has been coming off the bench. Gasol is averaging a career-low 13.4 points per game and 8.0 rebounds while playing in just 36 of his team's 49 games.

|Jason Terry praises Paul Pierce, blasts LeBron James
|12.20.12 at 1:10 am ET
Two months after his 35th birthday, Celtics captain Paul Pierce scored 40 points on 16 shots in Wednesday night's 103-91 victory against the Cavaliers. It took a superhuman effort, as his three most veteran teammates can attest. Maybe that's why Jason Terry called him Kryptonite in the locker room afterwards.
Pierce, Terry, Kevin Garnett and Jason Collins have a combined 55 years of NBA experience between them, but this was a first. The Celtics captain became the oldest player in franchise history to eclipse 40 points in a regulation game (at 35 and three months, Larry Bird scored 49 in double overtime in 1992).
"Not a lot of guys in this league stay in one franchise," said Terry. "You can count them on your hand right now. It's not many that are superstars, that have been in the league longer than 12-13 years, and he's one of them."
Terry played his last eight seasons alongside one of those other guys in Dirk Nowitzki, who has stayed in Dallas ever since being selected one spot ahead of Pierce in the 1998 NBA draft. There's a certain respect among veterans around the league for loyalty like that, Terry said, especially after younger superstars like LeBron James and Dwight Howard jumped ship for the Heat and Lakers early in their careers over the past several years.
As Terry elaborated, Pierce has demonstrated a "willingness to stick through the tough times and not just jump off: 'I'm outta here.' 'I'm going to go join forces with Kobe [Bryant].' Or, 'I'm going to go play with Dwyane Wade.' That's a shot right there. … I think that's what guys look at, and they respect him."
How's this for respect? Pierce joined Michael Jordan, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Shaquille O'Neal, Clyde Drexler, Alex English, Karl Malone, Reggie Miller and Walter Davis as the only players since 1985 to scored 40 points in regulation after turning 35 years old. None of the others accomplished that feat on 16 shots.
"Paul was on fire tonight, man," added Garnett, who was traded to Boston after 12 up-and-down seasons for the Timberwolves. "Paul had a flashback to like '03 or '04 or something, man. It was good to see, though. As we walked in tonight, I could tell — just because it was a long day — that he felt kind of down in the dumps. After the game, I told him, 'You need to feel more down in the dumps a little more often.' But he had the rhythm going, and we were just trying to feed him. I thought he did a good job getting it out of the offense and letting it come to him."
|Irish Coffee: Why Rajon Rondo's assist streak is more impressive than John Stockton's or Magic Johnson's
|11.26.12 at 4:50 pm ET
This topic stemmed from a conversation with Celtics guard Jason Terry about the evolution of the assist after colleague Rob Bradford compared the dwindling distribution of assists to baseball errors: Considering teams in the 1980s scored at a higher rate, is Rajon Rondo's current streak of 37 consecutive games with at least 10 assists more impressive than John Stockton's string of 37 in 1989 or Magic Johnson's record stretch of 46 in 1983?
In a word? Yes. Let the 35-year-old NBA veteran of 13 seasons who grew up on '80s basketball explain.
"It's just a different style of play," said Terry, whose longest streak of double-digit assists lasted all of three games in 2003. "Now, it's a lot more difficult to get those assists per se as in the '80s. If you look at the style of play, it was up-and-down, run-and-gun. Now, there are much more intricate defenses. There's also the zone defense, so it makes it a lot tougher to get assists. So, that makes his feat a lot more amazing."
Great points all around. Let's look at that style of play. Last season, when Rondo's streak began, the C's averaged only 90.4 possessions per 48 minutes. By comparison, in 1989, when Stockton's stretch started, the Jazz averaged 98.0; and in 1983, when Magic's string commenced, the Lakers averaged a whopping 103.8. All three hover around the league average that season, so defense has clearly muddled the pace over the years.
To put a finer point on it, not only must Rondo generate his assists on fewer possessions — and thus fewer field goal attempts — but the maturation of defensive schemes over the past quarter-century has also forced lower shooting percentages. Translation: Even fewer opportunities for Rondo to collect his dimes.
|Kevin Garnett puts Rajon Rondo on the same level as Kobe Bryant and LeBron James
|11.17.12 at 6:48 pm ET
After Rajon Rondo tallied 20 assists for the second time in nine games in a 107-89 victory against the Raptors on Saturday, new Celtics teammate Jason Terry declared him an NBA Most Valuable Player candidate — and even Rondo himself admitted "MVP is in the picture" — but Kevin Garnett saw this coming three days after first coming to Boston five years ago. We'll let the league's 2004 MVP explain.
"I've never played with a point guard who is in control of the flow the way he is," said the 14-time NBA All-Star. "Probably if anybody comes to mind I'm thinking Sam Cassell. He was pretty good at controlling the flow; he could score the ball. But as far as both ends, controlling the game, understanding the flow, knowing when to slow it down, [Rondo]'s probably the best at it. He's very conscious of the game from both ends. Usually, you have a point guard who's a scoring point guard or you have a point guard on the other side of the ball, which is the defensive side, but but as far as 48 minutes on both sides of the ball, he's the best at it.
"I've always looked at someone as the MVP as someone who makes his player not only better, but is able to dictate the game from different stat-wise, is able to get rebounds, does multiple things for his team. That's personnel. That's preference. Obviously, I'm going to be biased, because I play with him, and I see his growth and I see how hard he works, but when it comes to his presence on the game, that's hard. That's up there with the modern day Kobe [Bryant]s and LeBron [James]es and all that, so I think he gets his knock, because he doesn't score the ball and all that stuff. But when you look at the overall package, it's unbelievable what he's doing.
"After the third day when I first got here, we were doing pickup without you guys knowing, and you could see his potential from how he was dictating the pickup games. I'm not saying he was scoring the ball, but he was dictating a lot of plays from both ends. I evaluate the game from not just a scoring perspective, but a defensive perspective, too. I told him a long time ago, when I first met him, that he had the potential to do both — that he had the energy and the IQ to do both — and it was up to him. Obviously, you all see what this product is coming out to be, and the future is whatever he wants it to be. I've always said with Rondo it's always between his ears, and consistency is everything. Whatever you put into this, that's what your'e going to get out of it, and he's doing a great job of it."
|NBA Power Rankings, 2012-13
|10.29.12 at 7:19 pm ET
It's almost Halloween, another NBA season is upon us and the league's landscape changed once again, but the Celtics are title contenders and so too are their most heated rivals. Let's get right to the 2012-13 debut of our semi-regular NBA power rankings. Here's the wrinkle: What's the scariest aspect about each team this year?
1. Miami: LeBron James set the Celtics, Thunder and entire world on fire during his run to a first NBA championship and second gold medal, proving doubters wrong in every corner of the globe (including this cubicle). And he and the Heat only seemed to figure it out midway through the Eastern Conference finals, which means they could be even better, especially with Ray Allen and Rashard Lewis in tow.
2. L.A. Lakers: A starting five of Steve Nash, Kobe Bryant, Metta World Peace, Pau Gasol and Dwight Howard is terrifying, but so is their bench. The Lakers won't get 82 games from any of those starters, so how close each comes to that number will determine if they can unseat the Thunder beyond arbitrary power rankings.
3. Oklahoma City: After reaching the NBA finals last season, Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook got their first taste of what it will take to earn the Larry O'Brien trophy, so they'll be hungrier than ever. They'll just have to set the table for Kevin Martin coming off the bench instead of returning Sixth Man of the Year James Harden.
4. Boston: If the Celtics can reach Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals on grit and balls alone, imagine what they can do with a rotation deeper than six. Once Avery Bradley returns, coach Doc Rivers can go 12 deep and weather most injury storms, which have been downright Hurricane Sandy-esque in recent years.
5. San Antonio: Before losing four straight to OKC in the Western Conference finals, the Spurs won 20 straight and 31-of-33. That's the value of a deep roster. But I'm still buying more stock in Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, Rajon Rondo & Co. than Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili & Tony Parker Inc.
|Irish Coffee: Do Celtics really have NBA's best bench?
|10.26.12 at 1:45 pm ET
By now, you may have heard the latest in a long line of uberconfident Jason Terry quotes about his Celtics.
"We haven't made [me coming off the bench] official yet, but if that is the case we have the deepest bench in basketball," Terry said after Thursday's practice. "The Clippers may have something to say about that, but for us in this locker room, our mission every night is to go out and outwork and outscore everyone's bench."
Similarly, Celtics coach Doc Rivers said, "If you could play 10-on-10, we would beat everybody."
The mission here is simple: Determine the accuracy of their claim, breaking down the C's division, conference and eventually the entire NBA. But first let's look at Boston's depth behind a not-so-bad starting five: Rajon Rondo, Courtney Lee, Paul Pierce, Jared Sullinger and Kevin Garnett. (For the purposes of this exercise, we're inserting Terry and Sullinger into the starting lineup, since both took the floor first for 5-of-8 preseason games.)
|Brian Scalabrine: Black Mamba vs. White Mamba
|10.11.12 at 4:52 pm ET
"The black mamba is the world's most deadliest snake: One bite and you're dead. The white mamba is the world's most dormant snake: He just chills; he just watches and chills." Clearly, Brian Scalabrine is the Kobe Bryant of broadcasting. It's about time someone starts breaking down real NBA issues like this. (h/t Beyond the Buzzer)

Used-book sales bring in money for libraries

The first bargain-hunters show up at 7 a.m., long before the Voorhees library opens, and form a line that grows to 250 and snakes around the building.
Cashiers and security guards are ready for the rush when the doors are unlocked, while other staff look over a balcony at what's been compared to the running of the bulls in Pamplona.
The attraction: more than 45,000 used books and thousands of CDs, videos, books on tape, LPs, and magazines, spread out on 70 tables across the Camden County Library System's M. Allan Vogelson Regional Branch on Laurel Road.
"It's like Black Friday, only kinder and gentler," branch manager William Brahms said of the twice-yearly sale, to start at 10 a.m. Thursday and run through Saturday. "If people get pushy, they're asked to leave."
Over the last decade, libraries across the country have seen a significant increase in used-book donations from patrons, estates, and baby boomers downsizing as they enter retirement and smaller living quarters, officials said.
Adding to the used inventory are volumes from libraries divesting of physical books to meet their clientele's changing preferences.
Library managers and booster groups say they're benefiting from a "golden age of used books," with revenue from resold items adding to the institutions' coffers by as much as $50,000 a year.
"It's a golden age for readers, too, because there's so much to choose from," said Marcia Warner, immediate past president of the Public Library Association, a division of the nonprofit American Library Association.
The increased donation of materials "has been a boon" to libraries that sell them for a fraction of their cost, said Warner, director of the Grand Rapids (Mich.) Public Library.
"In the last three years, we've gone from $12,000 in sales to $18,000 to $26,000" in Grand Rapids, she said.
The rising sales come as many book stores - chains and mom-and-pops - have closed and people have turned increasingly to e-readers and the Internet for their reading and reference needs.
At the recently renovated Ludington Library in Bryn Mawr, a room permanently set aside for used-book sales will open soon.
In Center City, the Friends of the Free Library of Philadelphia has two stores - the Book Corner at 311 N. 20th St. and the Next Page at 722 Chestnut St. - where sales are brisk. The second site opened in 2010.
