MTA Refuses B4 Restoration To Assist Stranded Sandy Victims In Plumb Beach
Posted By Ned Berke On December 6, 2012 @ 1:30 pm In News & Features | 4 Comments
The MTA denied a request yesterday to restore 'round-the-clock B4 bus service to Plumb Beach just one month ahead of schedule, even though scores of residents remain stranded by Superstorm Sandy.
Bay Improvement Group (BIG) made the request through Assemblywoman Helene Weinstein earlier this week, claiming the lack of cars and mass transit options have not only made it difficult to get to work, but also to rebuild. Residents can't shop for food and supplies or visit doctors – or even access the numerous recovery workshops that have so far only occurred outside of the neighborhood.
"A lot of people lost their cars and are stranded," said Laura McKenna, BIG's acting executive director. "They don't have their own vehicles and it makes it more difficult for them to get to the subway, and we have an older population that can't get to doctors or get groceries."
McKenna said she first considered requesting a special shuttle to bring residents from Emmons Avenue's eastern end to the subway station, reconnecting them with local businesses and the city's transportation infrastructure. But after looking at bus maps, she realized the route she envisioned was already being served by the B4. However, the B4 only runs during "peak hours" on weekdays since service was slashed in 2010, but recovery remains a 24/7 reality, and ramped-up service would be a huge boon to their efforts.
"Whatever the B4 had before, we want that," McKenna said.
During off-peak hours, the B4′s eastern terminus is near Coney Island Hospital. Extending the line would give Plumb Beach residents access to Sheepshead Bay Road and its businesses and subway stations, the hospital, and neighborhoods as far west as Bay Ridge.
Currently, the nearest operating supermarket for Plumb Beach residents is Waldbaum's at 3100 Ocean Avenue, more than a mile away for some residents. The nearest hardware store is even farther.
"These individuals have faced the worst and are just trying to pick up the pieces and return to normalcy," Weinstein said. "I believe that the MTA is obligated to provide them with a means of getting them to stores, temporary shelters and jobs."
Yesterday, though, Weinstein informed the group that their request had been denied, with the agency citing a lack of resources, bus drivers and buses.
But, regardless of resources, in exactly one month from today, on January 6, the B4 will again be 24/7 following a campaign [1] by the community, its leaders and a Sheepshead Bites-hosted town hall event advocating for full service restoration earlier this year.
That's not soon enough for those stranded in Plumb Beach, though. There is only one emergency supply distribution point serving the neighborhood, operated by a handful of Occupy Sandy volunteers. It's outdoors, and its future is uncertain as temperatures drop.
"The cold weather is really a disincentive to be outside," McKenna said. "There are other areas that have warming centers, that have disaster recovery centers, that have indoor facilities for volunteers – and even a bus turns into a warming center for a volunteer."
Meanwhile, no relief workshops or town halls have taken place in the neighborhood, forcing residents to travel to Gerritsen Beach, Brighton Beach or Avenue V – the closest locations such events have been held. They received brief relief when State Senator Marty Golden and Councilman Michael Nelson provided shuttles to two nearby events recently – but those were only confirmed in the eleventh hour and could not be widely publicized.
The group is going to continue its fight for an early B4 restoration, with plans to press the mayor's office for assistance. They're also attempting to get an indoor space to serve as a relief hub for stranded neighbors and storm-ravaged seniors, and prodding local pols to do a recovery town hall or workshop in the neighborhood.
A victory with any of those, McKenna said, would help build community morale.
"Psychologically, people need to know there are people paying attention, and they're not right now," said McKenna. "I think it will go a long way to fighting the feeling of abandonment."
The MTA has not yet returned a request for comment.
UPDATE (3:10 p.m.): MTA spokesperson Kevin Ortiz sent the following statement:
We are currently working with DOT to get the new stops installed by January 6 and will implement the new service with the start of a new bus pick. That being said, residents currently have access to other bus routes in the area and the B4 continues to run down to Knapp Street during peak periods so your assertion that residents are "stranded" is overstated.
We reiterated concern that the B44 or B36 did not provide a sufficient route or required long walking distances, and noted that the existing stops with temporary signage could be sufficient. We also asked for an estimate of the price of the approximately 2.5-mile route increase. Ortiz responded:
The B4 will run along a slightly different route –hence the new stops. As previously conveyed, there is an issue of available resources.

Arts and Kindness
Could arts be a 'superconductor' for kindness?
Written in association with the Centre for the Study of Group Processes at the University of Kent, this paper is for practitioners, arts professionals, policy makers, researchers, funders, and all those who have a passion for building kinder, more caring communities.
Much is claimed for the transformative power of the arts. Driven by curiosity and a desire to understand how our work can be more effective we have been exploring those claims and examining them more closely. Drawing on evidence and research across a range of academic disciplines including psychology, sociology, philosophy, economics and neuroscience, this paper proposes a model for how the arts might create the conditions for kindness to grow. Defining kindness as something that goes beyond individual acts of generosity and thoughtfulness, we examine the potential of the arts to be at the heart of strengthening our capacity for empathy, friendship, social bonds and concern for others, including future generations.
People United thinks the arts have an important and unique role to play in exploring questions of kindness and inspiring change. This paper is just the beginning of our exploration, and we look forward to your creative ideas and thoughts on how we might develop it further.

Your Comments
I believe that the arts and kindness are intertwined because the arts are a true expression of a person's unique talents and kindness (which also includes interest, encouragement, and interaction with others) provides the environment to develop and explore one's artist creations no matter what the medium. Every artistic creation is unique like your thumb print. Yours and yours alone. If a small child makes their first crayon drawing and they get laughed at or ignored, then their first attempt at self expression is squashed. ENCOURAGEMENT is a wonderful thing.

DSC Wrestling Update
By Taylor Decker
The Wrestling Club is heading into a promising season with sophomore Jalen Weaver weaving the way to club notoriety.
The Red Storm wrestlers competed on Nov. 10 in the Colorado Mesa Open Tournament. Weaver, a general education major from St. George, made it up the ladder to place No. 5 overall in the tournament.
On Weavers way to the top he managed to pin four wrestlers to win the matches.
He wrestled a lot of Division I and Division II scholarshiped kids, head coach Brian Pace said. I think its pretty remarkable.
Because of all the success during the tournament, he earned a spot in the Open Mat News website, which highlights Weavers matches.
It was a good warm-up for the season, Weaver said. I wrestled a weight [class] up, but I still feel like I started to get back in that wrestling mode again.
This was the first college-level tournament for all the team members except senior Aaron Camis and Weaver.
Early in the wrestling season, schools will go to open tournaments like the Colorado Mesa Open, where they are judged more on their individual effort rather than the team as a whole. These matches determine the wrestlers skills and how well they are doing.
The wrestling season is divided into semesters. The first is open tournaments to develop their skills in the fall, and the second is competition, which is held in the winter.
This year the practices have been made a little tougher with more intense conditioning.
Pace said they always keep their feet moving and wrestling all the time.
We have more wrestlers in the room, (which) makes the difference and that helps, Pace said. We are always in need of more wrestlers.
With that being said, the team has gained a few more athletes since the end of football season, and it is hoping to gain more with the incoming students next semester.
The program we have is great, and we are all improving and going to be one of the top teams pretty soon, Weaver said. I love the team. We all have fun and help each other. We just need to work more on our basics of wrestling.
Dixie is hoping for a dual meet on Dec. 7 in St. George where they will face the College of Southern Nevada.
We are still working out a venue to do [the tournament], Pace said. Even if it ends up being in my backyard, well do it.
Students can go to www.RedStormWrestling.com, or like Red Storm Wrestling on Facebook for current updates on the club.

Girl is beat up for being straight!
Yes it is a long video but something I think many should think about the next time they say homosexuals are immoral or wrong.
I really found this video compelling, putting ourselves into the shoes of the "other" and really feeling how it would be if things were completely reversed. It really made me sit back and think about the atrocities that the LGBTQ community has gone through and continues to go through in this country. So sad and it made me cry at the end.
This is the reason why many people don't like my views. lol. I always put myself in their shoes. I always see both sides of everything. I think if more people would do this their wouldn't be so much hate and start understanding why people do what they do or not do may help us start really fixing issues that we deal with everyday.
I am putting you on the list of members I don't take seriously. Thanks for making it easy!
Quoting numbr1wmn:
Its not compelling. Its violence no matter who you are.
Other sites? Hmmm, only been here and Babycenter. Over at babycenter a stupid techinicality gave me the boot there. Other than that the Debate team had voted me in as a group owner.
Quoting numbr1wmn:
You seriously think You are taken seriously. I know who you are from other sites and you are NOT well liked at all. People should BEWARE!
Dig deep, watch the film and then lets talk.
Quoting numbr1wmn:
How is a person who got beat up good? It shouldn't happen to ANYONE!

5 ways to master office politics
Office politics get a bad rap, but playing the game doesn't have to mean succumbing to cattiness or becoming an apple-polisher. Instead, by mastering the politics of your organization with professionalism and respect, you can spin situations to your advantage, says Donna Wyatt, PhD, SPHR, a human resources instructor in the University of Phoenix MBA program who has worked in human resources for more than 30 years. The first step, Wyatt says, is to reconsider the definition of office politics.
"If I didn't use the word politics, but said 'Use techniques or tools to drive positive results for yourself or your organization,' most employees would agree that it's a good idea," Wyatt says. Another helpful way to think of office politics, Wyatt notes, is to focus on the fact that they use emotional intelligence and show your ability to have influence, which are good things.
Here, her five tips for navigating your workplace with finesse:
Build multiple alliances.
Some offices can feel as gossipy and cliquey as high school. Instead of identifying with a specific side in an office conflict, develop multiple networks, Wyatt suggests. This will show your initiative and communication skills and also help you determine how influence and power flow within the office. Plus, networking means you won't become isolated from the chatter or a target of gossip yourself.
Monitor your politicking.
Frequently complaining, taking feedback personally and breaking co-worker confidentiality are all examples of behavior that will breed your colleagues' distrust and ruin your credibility, Wyatt warns. Instead, she suggests, if you maintain optimism and trust, you're likely to win approval from management. "Those with promotional potential are generally on board with the company and their assigned job responsibilities," Wyatt notes.
Choose your arguments.
People don't like to work with co-workers who are prone to escalate minor conflicts to full-on wars. Watch your temper, especially with your boss, by playing a neutral role, Wyatt advises. You'll establish your niche in the political hierarchy as an even-keeled leader and quickly become an office asset.
Up your nonverbal cues.
Observers glean a lot from nonverbal gestures. "You want to present yourself as someone who embodies ... that you can be trusted and have a semblance of influence," Wyatt says. Your hand gestures and eye contact should reinforce your verbal communications, and you should dress the part as defined by management.
Underpromise and overdeliver.
This is the office politics version of a poker face: You can play the game of being an overachiever, but win it by strategically lowering the bar to ensure your success. For example, agree to a challenging project, Wyatt suggests, but push back on your boss's projected deadline — and then deliver it early. Volunteer your talents, but not so often that you set yourself up for failure. "Underpromise, but overdeliver and absolutely not the other way around," Wyatt says, "because that's the kiss of death."

Meet the Crew...
We staff experienced pilots and professionals to meet your aviation and flight training needs from all walks of life. Below, you will find some background about our instructors and staff, including their aviation training and experience.
Tim Epperhart
Chief Flight Instructor & Owner
Tim started flying as a hobby in 1994 here in Cincinnati, never dreaming it would turn into a career. In 2001, he completed his tail wheel endorsement, instrument rating, commercial certificate and his initial CFI certificate. He started teaching part time with Pro Aero at Butler County Regional Airport (KHAO) and remained there when Empower Aviation purchased the school in 2007. During his time at BCRA, he added his instrument instructors rating, multi-engine commercial and multi-engine instructors ratings. In early 2008, he was promoted to Flight School Coordinator, and eventually was given the Chief Instructors position later that year. In Feb 2010, he accepted the opportunity to purchase the school after it had moved up to Middletown Regional Airport (KMWO), where it currently operates.
When asked how he felt after the purchase, he stated, "I've been given a great opportunity. We are located on a great airport. I have a great staff and we have a great program that can help people achieve their dreams of flying. I have been given a number of breaks and lots of help from my friends over the years to get me here. I haven't forgotten it. This is my chance to pay some of that forward."
Frances Mead
Assistant Chief Flight Instructor
Frances is a home grown pilot. All of her training was done in the southwest Ohio area at Butler County Regional Airport (KHAO). She started flying in January 2003 and earned her Instrument Rating, Commercial Pilot Certificate and her initial Certificated Flight Instructor Certificate (and CFII) by 2006. In 2008, she added her Multi-Engine Commercial Rating and Multi-Engine Instructors Rating. Much of her training was given by our current Chief Instructor, Tim Epperhart, and she has been part of the MRFTI family since it's founding--offering knowledge and fascination of flying to our students.
Says Mead, "I am an instructor because I love to fly and I love to teach. My desire to fly came later in life. I caught the bug after an air combat experience in September 2002. I finally knew what I wanted to be when I grew up."
Calvin Johnson
Flight Instructor
Calvin started receiving his flight training when he was in high school in 2003 at Butler County Regional Airport with Tim Epperhart as his instructor. In 2007, he began attending The University of Cincinnati where he recieved his Private Pilot Certificate, Instrument Rating, and Commercial Pilot Certificate. After graduation, he went to MRFTI and, with Tim Epperhart as his instructor once again, he recieved his Multi-Engine Rating. After being offered a job with MRFTI as a customer service representative, he continued his training with MRFTI to earn his Flight Instructor Certificate in 2011. In 2012, he continued further in his training and earned his Instrument Instructor Certificate.
When asked why he chose Aviation, he said, "I have always been fascinated with Aviation since I was a kid. I took an airplane ride once in high school... and that same day I decided to start my training. I enjoy seeing people achieve their goals, and I always encourage people to pursue their dreams. For me, being a flight instructor is all about providing a safe and fun environment for my students."
Joel Lansford
Flight Instructor
In May 2007, Joel began his flight instruction in the TH-67 Helicopter with the US Army--including the Basic Warfighter Skill course, learning to fly a few feet above the trees while navigating to assigned coordinates and evading enemy fire. Between 2009 and 2011, after earning many Rotorcraft Certificates and Ratings, he began his Fixed-Wing training and earned his Airplane (Single-Engine Land) Private Private Pilot Certificate, Instrument Rating, as well as his Commercial Pilot, CFI, and CFII Certificates for ASEL. Going even further, he also earned his Multi-Engine Rating and Multi-Engine Instructor Certificates. He also earned his High Performance, Complex, and Tail Wheel endorsements, just before rounding out his Rotorcraft skills with his Instrument Instructor Rating in that category.
According to Lansford: "Every time my Dad went to work flying for Delta, I wished I could go up with him. My Aviation opportunity came when I earned an ROTC scholarship. Most of my Aviation experience is from the military. I'm not sure if they know they are actually paying me to fly. I would prefer to keep this a secret, so I can continue to enjoy turning jet fuel into noise. My favorite part of instructing is the ability to introduce someone to the excitement of being in command of an aircraft."
Dennis Epperhart
Administrator & College Program Advisor
Dennis first went wheels-up when he was 8 years old, right after his father earned his Private Pilot's Certificate at Clermont County Airport. Since then, he has had a fascination with flying and hoped to one day earn his private license for fun. He never thought that Aviation would become a career. In 2011, he began working for our company after volunteering at the Warbird Museum at Middletown, Ohio. Later that year, he was sent to Springfield, Ohio (KSGH) to bring the school's location there up and running. Today, he manages our KSGH location and serves as our on-staff College Program Advisor. He is an honor student at Clark State, and is majoring in Aviation Technology (right here with us). Dennis earned his Private Pilot Certificate in July 2012, and is currently working on his Instrument Rating.
His outlook: "When I learned that I could earn my wings through college, I was excited. Learning to fly has been one of the greatest accomplishments in my life, and it is still getting better. Working with other students and pilots has given me a great sense of purpose and I look forward to earning my Instructor's Certificate. I believe I'll do well, since I'll be teaching what I love."

Document Type Master's Dissertation Author Westraad, Delme firstname.lastname@example.com URN etd-06102005-092115 Document Title Suction induced shear strength of gold mine tailings Degree MEng (Geotechnical Engineering) Department Civil and Biosystems Engineering Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Dr P van den Berg Co-Supervisor Prof E Rust Supervisor Keywords
- desiccation
- gold mine tailings
- linear shrinkage
- soil-water
- air-entry
Date 2004-10-09 Availability unrestricted AbstractThe disposal of fine-grained mining and industrial waste by formation of hydraulic-fill tailings dams is becoming a design and construction activity of increasing scale. In light of the increasing pressure on the mining industry to sustain stringent safety and environmental standards it is becoming more important to gain technical knowledge of the waste problem. The upper layers of the tailings residue dams are in the unsaturated state with the matric suction component contributing to the overall shear strength. The ability to incorporate the matric suction component in shear strength calculations is important to safe design.
This research project investigates the use of the mid-plane suction probe to measure matric suction. The results obtained from the probe is used along with various tests to construct a complete soil-water characteristic curve for Mispah gold tailings as well as to investigate suction induced shear strength of drying tailings with depth.
The tests were conducted on gold tailings from Vaal Operation's Mispah tailings dam. The laboratory tests consisted of a trough test, to determine the soil-water characteristics of the gold tailing and also a drying box test that simulated the drying and desiccation of the gold tailings in the daywall.
The project concluded that the mid-plane suction probe could be used with acceptable accuracy to determine soil suctions. The model for the prediction of the soil water characteristic curve, derived by Fredlund and Xing (1992), was used successfully to predict the complete soil water characteristics curve for Mispah gold tailings. The equation derived by Vanapalli et al. (1996) was successfully used to calculate both the normal and suction induced shear strength of gold mine tailings using either the volumetric water content from the extracted samples or from the soil water characteristic curve.

At Atmavikasa, we believe that, the knowledge should arise by experience and hence, our motto is to offer all the differentiated Yogic resources in order to make the student experience the integrated Truth. Here, apart from Yoga Asanas, a strong emphasis is laid on other yogic sciences as Pranayama, Meditation, Kriyas, Sanskrit, chanting and Philosophy.
The System and the Course are carefully designed so that, they provide maximum possible information and hence maximize the experience of the student; and allow him/her to integrate his experience with the Logic of modern science and also the References available in the form of scriptures.
We hope that our sincere attempt and effort to make students envision Yoga as a mode of righteous living and not as a mere form of Physical practice succeeds at ATMA VIKASA.

Listen to Pharrell on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - It doesn't get much happier than wagging along to this.
The folks over at The Pet Collective are at it again, this time featuring a whole lot of adorable dogs and puppies romping around to the tune of Pharrell's hit Academy Award-nominated song "Happy" from Despicable Me 2.
In the changed lyrics, the song takes on a canine perspective on happiness.

it's unclear if Pharrell re-sang the song or not, but it certainly sounds like him. Consider us barking along!

"Joyful Mysterious Romp"
Kathleen Wilhoite could not have done a better job with this book--she is delightful, and brings every character to life. Part mystery, part comedy, all fun. It took a little while to get into the format, which switches back and forth between letters, e-mails, and narration, but it is so worth the trip, and so fun. Well done on all fronts!
"Stephen King Fans, Say Hello to the New Kid"
I wasn't expecting much from this; I downloaded it based on a recommendation and then let it sit for awhile. And I just finished it. And...it's really, really, really good. It. blew. me. away. I wasn't expecting the supernatural angle, and Davis does it as King does - the focus is on the characters, and the characters are great. Wow.
"First "Book" In a Series - What a Ripoff"
First, can't just stop in the middle of a story and call it "Book 1" of a series. Chopping a long book into multiple releases does not a series make. I was quite frustrated to get to the "end" of this.
I had really enjoyed "The Jakarta Pandemic" and was excited to find this one - I was disappointed that it's significantly more violent, the well-loved characters from the first book are harder and seem...flatter somehow.
The narration is terrific, as it was in Jakarta Pandemic - John David Farrell does a great job with the characters, especially Alex Fletcher. I'll listen to more of his work, but I'm abandoning this "series."
"Disappointing. In a Brutal Way."
LOVED the first book - in this one, I feel Freed had gotten into a storyline he felt jeopardized his series, and got out of it brutally and simplistically. Ray Porter's narration is great - otherwise I would have stopped listening. This one's a dud. Save your credits.
This book absolutely blew me away - completely plausible effects of a devastating pandemic infection. Great story, well-drawn characters - I love the "sub-narration" of Alex's thoughts to himself, and the narrator distinguished these very well. I absolutely could not stop listening. And, it made me want to stock up on disaster-preparedness supplies....
"Great Mystery - LOVED IT!"
Great mystery, lots of twists and turns. It's very well-written and the characters are charismatic and interesting. The narrator does a great job differentiating the character voices and bringing each to life. I didn't realize this was part of a series, but it stands well on its own. Will definitely read more!
"Ray Porter Brings Joe Ledger to Life!"
These books are well written and a lot of action-packed fun, and Ray Porter's narration MAKES the series. He captures the sarcasm, anger, humor, and horror all at the same time.
This book brings together multiple past events in the series and ties them together in an intriguing way, and also digs into the structure of the DMS. Really liked it.
Burn to shine.
"Honest, Eye-Opening, Loving, and Humorous"
Kimberly Rae Miller's open, honest, and yet still loving depiction of what it was like to grow up with a compulsive hoarder. Her story is painful but she has a great sense of humor about it and shares it in a way that really pulled me in. She narrates it herself, and she's great at it. I'm looking forward to reading more of her work.
"More Gross-Out, Less Humor"
I loved the first book in this series - it has a great gross-out factor tempered with a lot of humor, and a dead-pan delivery (ha ha) that reminds me of Ray Romano (love him).
The second book is much darker, dramatically ups the gross-out factor, and has way less humor. Plus, it introduces vampires, which feel very out of place in this story, and I had a hard time reconciling it. I don't think I'll continue with the series; I wish I'd stopped at book 1. (Still read book 1 - it's an awesome ride!)
"Such Great Sweet Nerdy Fun!"
I absolutely loved this book...there's a mystery at the center of the story that you may figure out relatively quickly, but it's still such a great trip getting there. I got really hooked and found I couldn't put it down. The characters are great - funny, vulnerable, smart, and engaging. When I finished it, I went back to some favorite parts and re-listened. Well done!
"Gets Better With Each Listen!"
I love, love, love, LOVE this book. I've listened to it multiple times and it gets better with each listen - so much nuance, so many little things to discover. It's an enchanting story (in multiple senses of the word) with absolutely fantastically engaging characters. The narration is great, and the narrator does an excellent job of giving each character such a unique voice that there's never any question of which character is speaking. One of my absolute all time favorites!

Latest Arizona sports
Diamondbacks outlast Phillies 12-7 in 18 innings
PHILADELPHIA — Adam Eaton hit a go-ahead double in the 18th inning as the Arizona Diamondbacks outlasted the Philadelphia Phillies 12-7 in a record-setting, marathon game for both clubs Saturday night.
The teams combined to use 20 pitchers in a contest that ended at 2:12 a.m. EDT and took 7 hours, 6 minutes — setting a mark for length of game for both teams.
The Phillies began the 18th with outfielder Casper Wells (0-1) on the mound. After retiring the first two batters, Wells walked Tony Campana to start Arizona's five-run frame. With Campana running, Eaton lined a double to left-center to put Arizona in front 8-7.
After Wells intentionally walked Paul Goldschmidt, Martin Prado drove in Eaton with a single to right to give the Diamondbacks a two-run advantage. Gerardo Parra broke the game open with a two-run single that spelled the end for Wells, who was replaced by another position player, infielder John McDonald.
Chargers take advantage of mistakes, beat Arizona
GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Ryan Mathews rushed for 57 yards and a touchdown in a half of play and the San Diego Chargers beat mistake-prone Arizona 24-7 Saturday night for their first preseason victory under new coach Mike McCoy.
The Chargers blocked a punt, blocked a field goal and returned a fumble for a touchdown.
The Cardinals lost several players due to injury, including left guard Jonathan Cooper, the team's first-round pick who put no weight on his left ankle as he was helped off the field in the third quarter.
Arizona's Rashard Mendenhall carried six times for 47 yards before leaving with an ankle injury.
Philip Rivers completed 10 of 18 passes for 71 yards with an interception. Arizona's Carson Palmer was 12 of 23 for 122 yards and a TD.
Diamondbacks place reliever Putz on 15-day DL
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Arizona Diamondbacks placed right-handed reliever J.J. Putz on the 15-day DL on Saturday with a dislocated right pinky finger and recalled right-hander Chaz Roe from Triple-A Reno.
Putz hurt his finger in Friday night's 4-3 defeat to the Philadelphia Phillies. Putz is 3-1 with a 2.43 ERA in 35 games this season. Roe, a rookie reliever, pitched in five games this season for the Diamondbacks and went 1-0 with a 5.40 ERA.
Bills QB Kevin Kolb has concussion-like symptoms
LANDOVER, Md. (AP) — Buffalo Bills quarterback Kevin Kolb has concussion-like symptoms after getting kneed in the back of the helmet.
Sidelined by a concussion in 2011 with Arizona, Kolb was hurt at the end of an 8-yard scramble in the first quarter Saturday against the Washington Redskins.
Kolb remained in the game for four more plays, until the drive ended with a 2-yard touchdown run by C.J. Spiller.
Kolb has been competing for the starting job with first-round pick EJ Manuel, but Manuel hurt his left knee in the Bills' previous game and is out for the rest of the preseason.
With both Manuel and Kolb hurt, undrafted rookie Jeff Tuel became the only healthy quarterback on the roster. Tuel entered the game on the next series.

network scanners and flash
August 22nd, 2009 by dmitryc, Filed under: Commentary
So, obviously, network and application scanners are targeting flash '.swf' (swiff) files. These scanners decompile and then do static analysis on the code. Very cool stuff. There are several that I know of that are handling swiff code in this manner.
1) SWFScan (sorry for linking to a forum search, but there is no nice clean URI for this product)
If I had the time, I'd like to see how these automated scanners handle malformed swiff files (hack-a-hack attacks).
A quick question for those more familiar with flash security tools: is there an open source lib for decompiling flash swiff files? Comment here or shoot me an email at email@example.com

I am pleased with the way our interior played for the most part, but we have wildcards there. Unrein will be back on the cheap with his ERFA/RFA contract and I can't imagine Bannan or Vickerson would command that much money. It is one of the only positions Denver has not invested a quality selection in for years and it is about time. I wouldn't bet on us taking a DT in the first, but I sure hope it is considered. I would expect one of the available DT's to be one of the better players on the board.
Do you see the scheme staying the same or Wolfe playing 3Tech? I would like to see the DT position addressed, but I don't think we take one in the first. I think there will be some quality ones there in the second. Two important factors that will sway the first round selection.
1. Does the front office view Franklin as a Guard still? If so I could see DJ Fluker being the first round pick potentially..
2. How does the front office view Wolfe and Irving? Is Wolfe a DE in our scheme or a DT? Is Irving the answer at MLB?

Two arrested in Chico for vehicle burglaries
Two people were arrested in Chico on charges of possession of stolen property.
On Sept. 26, Chico police responded to a vehicle burglary that happened on Springfield Court in south Chico.
During the burglary, suspects had broken a car window to steal a wallet, then attempted to use the victim's credit cards at a Chico business. The attempted transaction was captured using video surveillance, which helped police find a suspect -- 25-year-old Fransisco Quintero.
On Tuesday, an officer was conducting surveillance on Quintero's car when he saw Quintero and a woman approaching the vehicle. Recognizing the woman from the surveillance video, the officer took both of them into custody.
During a search of them and the car, the woman, 23-year-old Amber Yanez, was found to have stolen property from a car burglary that had happened that morning. She also was in possession of methamphetamine and needles. Officers also recovered a tool used to break glass.
Yanez was arrested and booked at the Butte County Jail on charges of possession of stolen property, methamphetamine and needles.
Quintero was arrested and booked on charges of possession of stolen property.

Author's note: this is my first post on MP and probably too long for most people to want to read, but I think it makes for an OK story and I wanted to remember all the details for myself. I'll try to add pictures soon. Enjoy.
TR: Epic on Glass Menagerie
Is 'epic' too strong of a word? Nobody was seriously injured and we didn't require a rescue. But we did have many of the elements present in a typical epic: nasty weather, loss of daylight, lack of water, a few close calls, and two rookies biting off more than they can chew. This is the story of my friend Dave and I attempting Glass Menagerie, a seven-pitch 5.13 or C1/C2 climb in Looking Glass, North Carolina.
The trip started off as a 'practice aid' weekend for Dave and me. It's not that aid climbing itself is actually appealing in any way, but we'd like to climb some big walls in Zion and Yosemite, and learning to aid C1/C2 seems easier than learning to free climb 5.13… call us lazy. So we resolved to meet at Looking Glass, where we thought we could practice on a few lines that are typically done free, and then maybe try our hand at a real aid route. Neither of us had ever made a single aid move before, but we read some books and watched some videos and it didn't look that hard. We both arranged our schedules so that we'd have Saturday morning through Tuesday evening on the rock, which we figured was ample time to become expert C1 climbers.
Saturday we each managed to aid and clean our first aid pitches. I won't go into much detail about these pitches because it would be the same story of everybody's first aid pitches. In short, they were awkward, painful, and ultra slow. A couple of guys climbing nearby good-naturedly pointed out that people have climbed El Capitan in less time than we aided and cleaned a single pitch. Thanks, guys. We were utterly exhausted after a total of two pitches so we hiked out and discussed plans for our remaining three days. We decided that we might as well go ahead and jump on Glass Menagerie, a seven-pitch test piece that goes all free at 5.13, or can be taken down to 5.10+ or 5.11 depending on how much C1 or C2 you add in. All the belay stations are equipped with rap rings and we had two 70 meter ropes, so we figured we could retreat pretty easily whenever we had to. We decided to haul some food, water, and extra gear, partially just for practice, but also in case we actually made it past P1. Our long-shot goal was to fix as many pitches as possible on Sunday and then finish on Monday. More realistically, we just wanted to see how high we could get before retreating. We were slightly concerned about gear, especially since we didn't have any hooks, which we had heard were necessary unless you could free some of the moves. Dave and I typically free climb around 5.9+/5.10-, so the hooks seemed liked a good idea. But we didn't have any, and we wouldn't really know how to use them anyway, so we just decided to give it a try without them.
Sunday starts with us heading to Looking Glass's North Side to begin our trial by fire. Dave takes the first pitch, which most people free climb at 5.11, but we'll be aiding. He's doing a great job, but it's shockingly slow. Twice he gets stuck at spots where he thinks he needs a hook, but he changes into his free climbing shoes and just barely manages to pull the free move. As he nears the anchors it starts to rain, but we're dry enough due to the overhanging nature of the route. And although we're slightly concerned about rain water seeping down onto the pitches above us, I know that we realistically won't make it very far at our current rate anyway. As I clean the pitch the rain picks up, and by the time I reach the anchors it's an all-out monsoon; there's no way we're going any farther today. We're staying somewhat dry at our anchor, but water is running off the top in torrents. The ground near the base of the climb, where we still have our packs, haulbag, and two thirds of both ropes, has turned into a lake. I look at all our gear just lounging around in the lake and I'm actually a little jealous… I'd rather be swimming in a lake right now. We decide to fix our lines to the ground and just hang out on the ledge out of the rain. A few minutes later we see the first lightning strike, and thirty seconds later we're on the ground, or in the lake I should say. We grab the portions or our ropes that are stacked in the lake and hang them around tree branches. Then we take the rest of the gear to a dry area under a big roof and take stock of the damage. Everything is soaked but OK, except for my North Carolina guidebook and aid climbing instructional book, which have taken on an additional two pounds of muddy water and are definitely ruined, just like our lofty goal of a two-day ascent of the route. No problem, we still have Monday and Tuesday to do the route, so having P1 fixed will just give us a nice jump start.
It's about two o'clock when we finish regrouping in our dry area and we realize that we should use this time to make a trip to Looking Glass Outfitters for some more advice on this hook business. So we stash the gear, hustle out of the forest, and drive in to town just before they close at three. The guy working at LGO is super helpful, and although he's never climbed the route, he calls around asking for beta. He finally gets in touch with another store employee who suggests two or three different kinds of hooks that we need. Unfortunately they don't have any of those in stock, so we just buy the one size they do have, laughing to ourselves at the silliness of buying something that we don't want to use, but wondering if it could be our ticket to the top. We pass the remainder of the day just wandering around the town of Brevard and thinking about the long day we have ahead of us; not knowing yet just how long that day would be.
We wake up around 6:30 on Monday and scarf a quick breakfast before making the easy approach without packs. We grab our stashed gear and start racking up with wet harnesses, soggy shoes, and ropes that are definitely heavier than they should be. By 7:45 Dave is 15 feet up our fixed line and struggling to make progress. This is our first attempt at jugging a free-hanging rope and it somehow seems harder than just aiding the pitch on lead. I clip into the haul line, which we have also fixed, and start jugging it to show Dave how it's done. I'm making a little more headway than him but I'm definitely not doing it right and it's wearing me out fast. Ten minutes later, we're both no more than 25 feet off the ground and only a few feet apart on separate ropes, and Dave is unleashing an expletive-laden tirade on aid climbing. He berates every piece of gear, curses each attempt at upward movement, and finishes his rampage by growling the rhetorical question, "Who do we think we are that we've each struggled up one pitch of practice aid and now we're suddenly ready for Glass Menagerie!?!" I secretly agree with him, but I'm tired of the negativity, so I snarl back, "Fine, screw it, let's just get down and go home and I guess we just won't ever bother to climb El Cap!" This escalates to a loud argument and I'm glad no one else is there to see how dumb we look dangling a few feet apart and yelling at each other. We hate jugging. We hate aid climbing. We hate Glass Menagerie. We hate Looking Glass. And right now we hate each other. We eventually stop fighting and strain upward in silence, but there's as much tension in the air as there is on our anchor as the two of us spasm towards the top. When we finally get to the anchor there's another few minutes of silence before we apologize to each other and resolve to just continue upward, if we can, for the sake of practice. But getting to the top of P1 took us longer today than it did yesterday, and we're not even remotely thinking about finishing this route even if we had a full week.
P2 is a 30 foot 5.8 traverse through loose, rotten rock with little or no gear. I take the lead and manage to place one questionable cam before making some committing moves along a slight roof. I feel like I'm climbing a Jenga game as every hold I grab slides in one direction or another, but I manage to pull the moves without pulling any boulders in my lap, and I make it to the next anchor without incident. I belay Dave across and we pull up the haulbag, which is actually just an old military issue cotton canvas bag that I've had since I was kid.
It's 10:30 now thanks to the first pitch debacle, and it's time to get back to business. P3 is rated 5.12+ or C2, both of which seem unobtainable to us, but we'll give the C2 version a try. We decide that I'll lead this pitch because some of the moves on fixed gear look really long and I'm a few inches taller than Dave. I keep my free climbing shoes on because the first bolt is a good 12 feet off the ledge and there's no place for gear below. I can't imagine how I'm going to reach that bolt. After feeling out the free climbing moves and realizing that I can't even get myself off the ledge, we remember than this is one of the moves that people sometimes hook. So I throw our new toy onto the only feature available, give it a yank, and watch it pop right off. After closer inspection I find a place where it might sit a little better and this time I can fully weight my daisy chain with the hook still in place. I gingerly step into an aider and move up. The hook holds so I step higher, somewhat expecting for the hook to pop off and hit me in the face at the same time I hit the ledge. I move up to my 2nd step and clip in to the top of the aider with a quickdraw, but I'm still a good bit short of the bolt… I guess it's time to practice top-stepping. I pull in close to the wall and step up one higher as I feel the opposing force of the draw keeping me precariously balanced above the hook. My free foot floats helplessly in the air and Dave tries to grab it to steady me, since a belay won't do me much good at this point anyway. With every bit of height that I have, I stretch my free daisy toward the bolt and just manage to clip it before toppling over, now weighting the bolt. The rest of the pitch goes without incident and I even mix in some free climbing at an easier section towards the top, which brings my time down to less than what it would take to watch
Gone With the Wind
. Dave does a good job cleaning the pitch at a reasonable pace and now we feel like we're at least accomplishing something.
Dave takes off for P4, a 5.11 or C1 thin crack that will take us to just below the huge ominous roof. After starting strong, he encounters an extremely thin section that won't take any of our gear. We're pretty sure this is where we're supposed to use the cam hooks in sizes that we don't have. The guy at the store specifically told us that the hook we bought was too big for this pitch. We do have a pretty good selection of micronuts so Dave goes back and forth from harness to rock just trying to get something that might fit. After 15-20 minutes he gets a #1 micronut halfway into something passing for a crack and steps up to gain another 12 inches. He still can't reach the next spot he sees for gear so he spends another 15 minutes playing with all the micro-gear, all the while hanging on a hunk of metal with the equivalent mass of a penny. Finally I see him delicately step onto another piece and place a Black Diamond C3, which might as well be a 3-bolt equalized anchor compared to his previous gear. As I look to see what gear gave him that one necessary move, I see the cam hook fall out of the crack. Way to go, Dave! If this is C1 climbing then I'd like to do some C0 please. As I clean the pitch I'm first horrified to see some of the gear he stood on, but then elated to see two orange metolius booty cams at what seems to be the crux move at the top. As I go to remove them, Dave stops me and says that he thinks we should treat them like fixed gear and that he couldn't have made the move without them and therefore thinks it's the right thing to leave them. Neither of us knows much about aid climbing etiquette but this seems crazy to me. There are two perfectly good cams on a pitch that will come out easily. It looks like someone bailed off these cams and I see no problem with taking them. I suggest that if he's worried about karma, we could take them with us and then post on the internet to see if we could find their owner. But Dave won't have it. He says that we're already in over our heads and there's no need to anger the Glass Menagerie gods. Satisfied with that theory, I reluctantly leave the booty in place and finish the pitch.
It's mid-afternoon now and I'm really impressed with how we've picked up the pace. It now seems totally reasonable that we could do one more pitch, fix ropes to the ground and come back to finish it off tomorrow. I lead off on the infamous P5 roof pitch, 5.13 or C1. It's intimidating for sure, but it's had enough fixed gear added over the years that it actually feels easier than anything we've done so far. Twenty minutes into my lead we realize that I forgot to tag the haul line with me and I can't lower down to it because I've been traversing over nothing but open air. Rather than aiding back to the belay, we pull off a miraculous lasso and foot catch maneuver, and I'm able to finish the pitch at blazing speed. I'm pretty sure that if a snail had tried to race me up the pitch, I would have won. Dave also moves fast on this pitch. Due to the traversing nature, he pretty much just aids it the same way I did, instead of jugging the rope. We think that's a valid technique for traverses, but we can't quite remember if we're doing it exactly right. But we're confident that we're safe, and we're moving faster than before, so all is good.
There's been an interesting force at work this whole time we've been climbing today. After what was surely the worst start to a climb that I've ever experienced, we started to get it together and make good progress. And as we surmounted each new obstacle, we gained confidence that maybe it wasn't crazy for us to attempt this route. And now that we've done the roof pitch, there are only two more pitches left, which can be free climbed at 5.10c and 5.9. Without a word of discussion, Dave and I had each started to think that maybe we could do the whole route today, and avoid the unenviable task of ascending ropes again tomorrow. It was close to 4:30 when we met at the top of P5, plenty of time to free two pitches and find the descent. So as if we'd planned it all along, I rack up and start P6 without us ever acknowledging that we had originally planned to fix lines to the ground if we even made it this far. We agreed that I'd take this off-width pitch and Dave would lead the final hand crack. Dave is a significantly better face climber than I am, but he doesn't get much practice on cracks, so we thought I'd have a better chance at the 5.10c off-width.
P6 is tricky because it seems that you're supposed to aid a short section off the belay and through a traverse, and then start free climbing the 5.10 section. So I complete the aid part and look up to see a heinous looking flaring off-width inside a flaring right-facing dihedral – I'm not excited about it. I'm low on gear due to the aid section, and I'm afraid that the traverse will create bad rope drag. Dave and I discuss the situation, and I think I need to build a belay and bring him up so I can re-rack. Dave doesn't like the idea of me building a belay. He's concerned that the spot I'm at doesn't have good gear for a belay and that building a belay is a lot more committing since we won't have rap rings like we've had at all the other anchors. And if we have to rap off my gear anchor, there's no guarantee that we could get to another rap anchor to take us all the way to the ground. Plus, splitting P6 into two pitches means more time spent hauling, organizing, hanging at a belay, etc., and less daylight to get us off the route. After much discussion, I tell Dave that building a belay is my only option because I'm not willing to continue upward without more gear, to which he responds: "Your other option is to aid back to this anchor, so we can go home alive and sleep with our girlfriends." For the second time today I secretly agree with him, even though I don't want to. But I still think we can finish this route, and my girlfriend is out of town, so I promise him that I'll build the best gear anchor he's ever seen and I'll have no problem with the free climbing. Accepting my word, he packs up shop on his end, and cleans the short pitch.
Now it's time to get real. We're five and half pitches up without a good retreat option and I'm racking up for a pitch that's pushing my free climbing limits. It's at least 85 degrees in the shade, my chalk bag is full of chalky mud due to yesterday's storm, and we've already had a long day. I suppose I could aid it, but that would require a lot more big gear (I have two #3's and one #4 as my biggest gear). Plus it's after 6:00, and we need to get moving. So I start scrambling up what starts out as a nice hand crack with good gear. Thirty feet up, the flaring crack starts to widen and the crack and surrounding flaring dihedral keep trying to spit me out. I place a good #2 deep into the crack and keep moving. I get a few decent fist jams before it widens even further and I'm trying to somehow get my left elbow to jam. I find one section with a slight restriction and can just barely get my right fist to stay lodged semi-securely. I'm starting to get a little desperate and I want some gear quickly. I have racked all my cams on my right side thinking that I'd have my left side pushed against the left face, and I have my biggest cams in the back where I can't even see them from this position. So I frantically reach behind my back with my left hand, feeling for the right gear. I have the following conversation in my head.
Quick, I need a #3, it should be the second biner from the back. Yes! I got it. I am so awesome at racking gear that I can find anything on my harness with a blindfold. Nooooo, I'm an idiot! This obviously won't fit. I should have placed the #3 in that long run-out below me and now I need the #4. If I can just hold the jam a few more seconds. Yes! I got the #4 with another behind-the-back move and it fits perfectly. Why am I falling?
It seems that just as I was pulling slack for the clip, the fist jam unexpectedly gave out, and now I'm in the air. I bounce off a few pieces of rock and tumble in a few different directions before the slack is out and I come to a rest. I look at Dave, who's not very far from me at this point, and see the look of horror on his face. He's clearly not interested in performing a rescue after I had assured him that we'd be fine to build the gear belay and head to the top. So I immediately get back on my feet, calmly say "No problem, I'm fine," and start climbing the rope back to my #2 that caught me. I realize that I'm bleeding in several places but nothing is too serious, and my body is producing such an obscene amount of sweat that my wounds are immediately cleaned and the blood is just smeared around so that it's hard to tell where it came from in the first place. I pass the #2 for the second time and now place the #3 where I should have the first go around. The #4 is already in place waiting to be clipped so it's much easier this time. I finish the pitch without any more problems and bring Dave up.
Now we just have one more pitch of fairly mild free climbing and about an hour of daylight left. We make short work of it, but then require a few more minutes to finish hauling, flakes ropes, and organize gear well enough for the descent. Though we had discussed rapping the route, we are more inclined to go ahead and get out of the vertical world, and we had heard that rapping the route from the top could be difficult due to the traversing and overhanging pitches. We are also under the impression that we can follow a somewhat obvious trail down a gulley between the North Side and Hidden Wall to get back to the base. It's time to find that trail.
Dave agrees to take the chest harness loaded with gear, and one rope coiled on his back. I stuff the other rope and remaining gear into the haulbag and we start bushwhacking in search of our trail. As previously mentioned, our haulbag is actually just some canvass rucksack. It has one strap that I can barely fit over a shoulder, but that's pretty painful because both my shoulders are bleeding from my lead fall. I alternate between a myriad of carrying techniques such as left shoulder, right shoulder, bear hug, dragging it, and throwing it as we tromp through thick forest growth with the last remaining light of dusk. Dave's load isn't much easier as the rope catches on everything he passes. We're barely able to catch a glimpse of Hidden Wall before we reach full darkness and bust out the headlamps. We still haven't seen anything that remotely resembles a trail as we thrash through the foliage. We're totally out of water, low on food, and sloppily crashing forward down a steep slope that we hope will eventually bring us to the base of the climb. We're drenched in sweat, cut up from the climbing and the bushwhacking, and we're being ruthlessly devoured by bugs. As we struggle forward the terrain gets steeper and rockier, and we're pretty sure we're going the right way, even though there is still no trail that we can find. We're climbing over downed trees, through tunnels of briars, and down slippery moss-covered rocks, all while awkwardly toting our gear. After we each take several rough falls, we decide that we need to slow it down and be more careful rather than add a broken ankle to our list of woes. Though not discussed, we're both keenly aware that an injury or a route finding mishap will strand us in the forest all night. We eventually find flat ground and start moving towards where the North Side wall should be. When I finally shine my headlamp on the base of the cliff I'm relieved. A few minutes later we begin to see the starts to climbs that we recognize and we know we're close to the base of Glass Menagerie. We arrive at our packs, load them up with everything we're carrying, and make the final push towards the parking area. At last, we reach the cars just after 10:00, split the last bit of hot water that was in my trunk, and collapse for a few minutes.
Though we had originally planned on climbing some more tomorrow, we realize that that would be both unenjoyable and unnecessary, since we had already accomplished more than we could have expected. So we drive to town, rehydrate, sort the gear, and prepare to go make long drives home in separate directions. We laugh as I remind Dave about his early morning rant concerning our ability to climb the route. We agree that he wasn't too far off in questioning our decision to attempt the route, and yet here we are having completed it in one very long day. We pack up, shake hands, compliment each other on our newly acquired aid climbing skills, and go our separate ways. As I start the long drive home I hang the cam hook from the mirror as a reminder of an epic day.

In response to raider3524's comment:
In response to Fiercy's comment:
In response to BaileyPowe's comment:
i can say no he's not with at least as much conviction, fierce. you're too much.
If not then why did the Celts pick Smart instead of Noah Vonleh or Nik Stauskas?
because smart is better than both those guy's....
Agreed, Smart is a better basketball player and will have a bigger impact on his team over his career than either of those two guys.
BPA?! You got that right. This team has such a deficit in pure talent versus other teams that it has no choice but to pick the BPA. THEY ARE NOT ONE OR TWO VERY GOOD PLAYERS AWAY FROM MAKING A SERIOUS RUN AT A CHAMPIONSHIP, AND AROUND HERE THAT'S ALL THAT COUNTS. They are one or two very good players away from the playoffs. Rondo will never get a max contract from ANY NBA team and doesn't deserve one regardless of what the Rondo Youth Brigade says. Bradley is done here...I doubt he'll be here for anything but the qualifying offer the C's extended and they really do not want him because he's injury prone, misses mucho games and in order to keep scoring he let's his D go the way of the dodo bird.
They are two seasons, at best, away from serious playoff contention, meaning getting past a first round one and done.
And in your heart you know I'm right.

How To Organize Music In Itunes
Organizing music in iTunes is a great way to keep track of your music library. The program can automatically sort music into folders on your computer and add missing information about songs and albums. This is a built-in function and is very easy to use. You can also manually add information about songs in the library, but this will take more time. Follow these steps to organize music in iTunes. You will only need a computer with iTunes installed and music saved to your computer for this process.
- Open iTunes on your computer.
- Click the Edit menu at the top of the window. Select the Preferences… option from the list.
- Go to the advanced tab. This is a good place to start in organizing your music. The default location should be fine for storing music, but you can change it here if you want.
- Check the Keep iTunes media folder organized button. This will allow iTunes to organize your music into folders.
- Check the next box in the list, called Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library. This will allow you to keep all of your music in the same folder to keep it organized when you add it to the library.
- If your media library has been set up already, iTunes will now begin organizing it.
- If you have not added your music to the iTunes library, you can do so by copying it to the iTunes media folder or adding it through the file menu. To add music through the file menu, click the File menu at the top of iTunes and then select either Add file to library or add folder to library, depending on which you want to do.
- Find the location of your music and then click open.
