Introduction |
WinPack and AGWPEWinPack, written by Roger Barker, G4IDE/SK, is a great Windows-based packet terminal program. You can download it at http://www.apritch.myby.co.uk/uiv32.htm (or do a web search for other download sites). Since Roger's death in September 2004, registration is now free, however, in lieu of the former registration fee of £10, you are asked to make a suitable donation to a cancer organization of your choice. Registration gives you the right to upgrade from UI-View 16 to UI-View32, the 32-bit version which has some additional features. To register, do not contact Roger's address as the program may suggest. Instead go here to find the name of someone who can issue you a registration number: Simply state your request in an email that includes your first and last name on a separate line, plus your callsign on another line. ********************************* To configure WinPack to work with AGWPE:
If you will be using AGWPE as your input source, then you don' t need to worry about setting the normal TNC parameters such as baud rate, parity, etc in WinPack. AGWPE handles all that! In fact, the TNC parameters on this screen will 'gray out' (become inaccessible) since there is no need for them when you use AGWPE host mode. AGWPE should be running before you start WinPack in AGW mode or try to toggle to AGW host mode. If you start AGWPE after WinPack, WinPack won't recognize AGWPE -- unless you toggle WinPack's host mode to NONE and then back to AGW. (Or you can close WinPack, start AGWPE, and restart WinPack.) For specific help about using AGWPE with WinPack, read the Winpagw.txt file located in the main WinPack directory. You'll also find more information in WinPack's Help: select the Help Contents option from the Help menu and then, in the right index under Fundamentals, click on the third item down, Host Mode Support. On the resulting page, you should also look in the right index for additional topics about AGWPE and host modes in general. Finally, be sure to read the AGTNCHLP.TXT file (on this site or in the WinPack folder). It provides information about the various "TNC" commands that can be used by WinPack with AGWPE. Disable Sounds in WinPackIt's possible that the speech and sound options in WinPack could create a conflict with AGWPE's use of the sound card, so you should disable all the sound/speech options in WinPack (unless you're using two sound cards in the PC). Using WinPack with Different AGWPE radio portsThe following information only applies to users who have radios on more than one AGWPE radio port. If no port number is specified in the connect command, WinPack will transmit on AGWPE port #1 to attempt the connection, e.g. C NM5RM To transmit on another AGWPE radio port, put the AGWPE port number between the connect command "C" and the target station's callsign, for example: Likewise, by default, WinPack receives packets from all AGWPE ports (according to the . AGTNCHLP.TXT file). To change this, use the MMASK command at the WinPack "CMD:" prompt. For example, to receiver only packets from AGWPE radio port #2, use a MMASK 2 command. Use the MMASK ALL command if you want to again monitor all AGWPE ports. (Help for MMASK can be found in WinPack's AGTNCHLP.TXT file; or type ?MMASK at the CMD: prompt in WinPack.) Note:
Custom MMASK commands need to be entered each time WinPack starts.
WinPack always starts with the default of monitoring all ports; it does
not remember MMASK settings from a prior running. Known Problems & Limitations of WinPack1. WinPack uses a Windows DDE protocol to link to AGWPE and not the TCP/IP protocol. As a result, you can not link WinPack to an instance of AGWPE running on a different computer. (One workaround, albeit a bit expensive; purchase Packet Engine Pro ($49 US) for both the WinPack computer and the distant computer. PE Pro's Radio Port Sharing feature will let the two PE Pro instances exchange radio port data, including ports linked to WinPack.) 2. WinPack is not able to send "unconnected"/<UI>/APRS-style packets. 3. If you execute the MHeard (MH) command in WinPack to request a list of stations heard, AGWPE will shut down if no stations have been heard. So enter the MH command only after you have seen AGWPE successfully decode a packet; or use the AGWMonitor program instead of WinPack to check MHeard. |

Wall Street took a step backward Wednesday. Then a tiny step forward. Then back.
The tentative dance amounted to little change for major U.S. stock indexes, which ended the day just below their prior day's levels.
Wall Street took a step backward Wednesday. Then a tiny step forward. Then back.
The tentative dance amounted to little change for major U.S. stock indexes, which ended the day just below their prior day's levels.
For the week, stocks remained down, extending the sharp downturn for the year.
"We're seeing some buyers coming in on the weakness, but not enough to push the market higher," said Joe Bell, senior equity analyst with Schaeffer's Investment Research.
Stocks were down in premarket trading and continued to slide for much of the day. A survey on U.S. hiring did little to ease uncertainty over the health of the American economy.
Many investors remain leery, waiting to see if upcoming economic reports and company earnings will show that the U.S. economic recovery is on track.
"This is about as flat as it gets," said Rex Macey, chief investment officer of Wilmington Trust Investment Advisors. "It's a market looking for direction."
The Dow Jones industrial average fell 5.01 points, or 0.03 percent, to close at 15,440.23 Wednesday. The Standard & Poor's 500 index slipped 3.56 points, or 0.2 percent, to 1,751.64. The Nasdaq composite dropped 19.97 points, or 0.5 percent, to 4,011.55.
Six of the 10 sectors in the S&P 500 finished lower. Telecoms and energy stocks registered the biggest industry declines.
Investors hammered trucking company C.H. Robinson Worldwide, which a day earlier reported fourth-quarter results that missed Wall Street estimates. Its shares fell $5.48, or 9 percent, to $53.16, to lead the S&P 500's decliners.
Cerner, a health care information technology provider, and cosmetics maker Estee Lauder were also among the stocks posting large losses. Cerner shares fell $3.39, or nearly 6 percent, to $53.21. Estee Lauder slumped $3.83, or 5.5 percent, to $65.36.
Markets started the week with a 326-point drop in the Dow, triggered by disappointing news about the U.S. manufacturing.
The Dow, which fell as much as 104 points Wednesday, ended the day down 6.9 percent for this year. The S&P 500 closed down 5.2 percent so far in 2014.
A private survey on Wednesday showed that U.S. businesses added jobs at a steady but modest pace in January, a sign that hiring has rebounded after a disappointing figure in December. Payroll processor ADP said companies added 175,000 jobs last month. That's down from 227,000 in December, which was revised lower. But it was much better than the government's official figure of just 74,000 new jobs in December. The ADP numbers cover only private businesses and often diverge from the government's more comprehensive report due out Friday.

String Theory, founded by artistic director Gloria Chien in 2009, is a chamber music series presented in partnership with the Hunter Museum of American Art and Lee University. Musicians from around the world join Chien to perform in the intimate setting of the Hunter.
Scarlata and Chien will present "Winterreise," a song cycle for voice and piano by Franz Schubert, for the evening's performance.
Hailed for his warm, expressive sound, consummate musicianship and winning way with the audience, Scarlata is firmly established as one of the most highly regarded musical interpreters of his generation. He has appeared as soloist with orchestras such as the Philadelphia Orchestra, The San Francisco Symphony, Vienna's Tonkünstler Orchestra, The National Symphony, The Pittsburgh Symphony, the American Symphony, and the North Carolina Symphony, as well as the Early Music ensembles Wiener Akademie, Musica Angelica, and the Grand Tour Orchestra.
Scarlata's awards include First Prize at the Young Concert Artists International Auditions, First Prize at the Das Schubert Lied International Competition in Vienna, First Prize at the Joy in Singing Competition in New York, and the Alice Tully Vocal Arts Debut Recital Award.
Chien has emerged in recent years as one of America's finest young chamber musicians. She has been praised by the Strad for "super performances…accompanied with great character." Chien has participated in festivals such as Music Academy of the West, Verbier Music Festival, Bay Chamber Concerts and Chamber Music Northwest.
She has also participated for six years in Music@Menlo, a chamber music festival and institute in the San Francisco Bay Area, where she was appointed director of the institute in 2011.
Chien won a spot on the roster of the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center in 2012, and now frequently plays at Alice Tully Hall in New York as well as other venues around the country with CMS on Tour.
"Art Connections" will take place prior to the concert at 5:30 p.m. Former Hunter Museum chief curator Ellen Simak and Maestro Robert Bernhardt, Conductor Emeritus of the Chattanooga Symphony, will explore works from the Hunter Museum collection that relate to the music featured in the concert to follow.
Individual concert tickets are $25 for Hunter members, $35 for nonmembers, $10 for students with a valid student ID and $25 for groups of 20 or more people.

Designer: Studio 7.5
When Burkhard Schmitz, Claudia Plikat, Nicolai Neubert, and Carola Zwick founded Studio 7.5 in Berlin, Germany, they were looking for freedom to work on projects that interested them, freedom from rules, roles, and titles.
And that's pretty much how they've operated ever since. "There are no bosses here," says the group, which also now includes Carola's brother Roland. Preferring to be heard as a single voice, they continue, "Everybody does everything. That's how we cultivate ideas and maintain our openness and curiosity."
The group finds designing office chairs in particular to be the most rewarding. "We define not only how a chair looks but how it performs, even down to the characteristics of the tilt. We're very involved with its physical behavior, because beauty is not only what you see, it's also what you feel."

Use Dropbox to Monitor Your Computer Remotely - dropbox - Lifeha. 3 Reasons Why Students Should Be Using Dropbox. Dropbox is an oft-covered program here at Make Use Of, and for good reason.
It's an incredibly useful app for moving files between computers, or keeping a copy of your most important files in the cloud. However, that isn't all Dropbox is great for; it is also great for helping students keep their files as mobile as they are. How to Hack Your Dropbox: Five Amazing Mashups. As any PC power-user knows, getting files from one place to another is one of the oldest tasks in the book.
Since way back when people have used floppies, ZIP disks, CDs, DVDs, Blu-ray discs, thumb drives, email and more to get the files you need from point A to point B. But now there's DropBox, which has—in the half year or so since it came out of beta—become our very favorite way of making sure that we always have our most important files at hand. If you're not familiar with how DropBox works, it's simple: You create a free account with DropBox, and install a small app on your computer. This app creates a folder on your computer (wherever you choose) and monitors that folder at all times.
15 Hacks Every Dropbox User Should Know. When you get right down to it, Dropbox is a pretty simple app.
It syncs folders—that's it. But what makes Dropbox amazing is the sheer number of different ways you can use that functionality, by itself or in conjunction with other programs, to improve your computing experience. We like Dropbox so much that we've written about it several times before, and we still haven't gotten to every cool thing you can do with the program.

Ocean's Thirteen DVD (Warner Bros.)
It's the third entry in the superfun Ocean's movie series, it's action-packed, set in Las Vegas, and peppered with lots of humor, but what more do you really need to know about Ocean's 13 than the fact that it stars Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, and George Clooney? Right? Oh, okay, this time around, Danny Ocean's (Clooney) gang is planning a heist in the name of revenge. Big, bad Las Vegas businessman Willie Banks (Oscar-winning legend Al Pacino) has pulled a fast one on Danny's pal Reuben, which has made Danny, Rusty (Pitt), Linus (Damon), and the rest of their crew vow to make sure Banks gets a taste of his own medicine when his double-crossing upsets Reuben so badly that he suffers a health crisis. The DVD includes lots of nifty bonus features, including additional scenes, the movie producer's tour of a Vegas casino, and a feature on the movie's settings and how they help shape the film. Oh, yeah, and did we mention that the movie stars Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, and George Clooney, three People magazine Sexiest Man Alive winners?

Firing of Bulls' assistant triggers discord between Thibs, Gar
BY MARK POTASH email@example.com July 1, 2013 1:57PM
Bulls assistant coach Ron Adams (left) with head coach Tom Thibodeau in December of 2012. I Sun-Times Media
Updated: July 2, 2013 3:11AM
Is the firing of Bulls assistant coach Ron Adams a sign of a fracture in the relationship between general manager Gar Forman and coach Tom Thibodeau?
Maybe. Maybe not. But when Forman insisted that ''Tom and I have a very good working relationship,'' it's worth nothing that he did so at a press conference alone, with Thibodeau — who had just shared a table with Forman for a press conference to introduce draft picks Tony Snell and Erik Murphy — suddenly nowhere to be found.
If this were a true team decision, it would behoove the Bulls to show some unity and have the coach and the general manager address side-by-side the most obvious question the move elicited.
''There's a number of decisions that have to be made, sometimes in a day,'' Forman continued. ''We're not going to agree on everything. But at the end of the day, I think we both have the best interests of the Bulls moving forward is what our goal is. We unite and we move forward.''
That may be so, but the issue of discord between Forman and Thibodeau is well within bounds for Bulls fans and the media, especially considering that Thibodeau was hired in the first place as a result of a GM/coach relationship that turned sour in the worst way — with John Paxson physically confronting Vinny Del Negro over a decision they disagreed with, but somehow did not unite and move forward.
Smaller disagreements than the firing of a head coach's lead assistant have started coaches and GMs on a path toward toward such an irreconcilable difference. So the concern is real. And unfortunately, Forman's contention that everything is fine between himself and Thibodeau is of dubious merit.
Just moments before speaking those words, Forman insisted at hastily called press conference that ''I don't mind talking about it,'' when in fact he tried to avoid it at all costs and was prepared to let a three-paragraph statement on a press release say all he wanted to say about the matter.
In fact, the Bulls played a little dirty pool with the media to try to keep Forman from having to address the Adams issue. Prior to the press conference for Snell and Murphy, reporters were asked to not ask about Adams and that the issue would be dealt with "later." Only after incensed reporters vehemently complained about the ploy when the team announced that ''later'' meant the press release and not an interview did Forman agree to the later press conference.
The Bulls officially announced Monday that they would not rehire Adams, whose contract expired after the 2012-13 season.
Forman said in a statement: ''We want to thank Ron for everything that he has brough to this organization in his role as assistant coach, and we wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors. After assessing the situation, it was my decision that this was in the best interest for the Bulls organization.''
The Bulls added only a short comment from Thibodeau that said more than perhaps it intended: ''Ron is a great friend, an outstanding coach and I will miss him.''
Asked at the press conference to elaborate on the statement, Forman said, ''I really can't. I think with any type of personnel decision, it's best left unsaid as far as why decisions are made. So I don't think it does anybody any good to go into specifics.''
But it was clear that Thibodeau did not agree with the decision — and more importantly, in the big picture, that Thibodeau does not have final say on his assistant coaches.
''Tom is going to recommend who he wants hired,'' Forman said. ''At the end of the day, I've got final say over personnel, as far as the coaches. In the past, obviously if I felt comfortable with it and Tom wanted a guy, that's the direction we're going to go.''
Forman would not go into any specifics regarding his decision to fire — or not rehire — Adams.
''When we make a decision like this, I don't think it serves anybody well to go into detail of why the decision was made,'' Forman said. ''The decision was made by me because I felt it was the best decision for the Bulls moving forward.
''And at the end of the day, those are the decisions I have to make. Whether it's personnel or players or whatever it may be, there's a process in place, there's obviously a lot of talk and communication with our staff and then I've got to make decisions I think are are best for the Bulls moving forward.''
But the real issue is how this will affect the relationship between Forman and Thibodeau. Forman clearly was uncomfortable with aspect of the decision — when he was asked if Thibodeau agreed with the decision, it took him 169 words to say the obvious: ''No.''
''Tom makes the decisions on the floor. He's our head coach,'' Forman said when asked if Thibodeau was on board with the decision. ''I think he's as good a coach as there is in the NBA. He does a great job. Do I agree with absolutely every decision he makes? We'll communicate. Probably not. But at the end of the day. I'm going to support decisions he makes and I think he's going to support decisions I make.''
As it stands, Forman and Thibodeau are united and moving forward. But the situation bears watching. Forman compared his decision to not rehire Adams and Thibodeau's disagreement to decisions husbands and wives make all the time. And he's right about that. But the fact of the matter is that nearly 50 percent of the marriages in the U.S. end in divorce — often because one disagreement leads to another.
So stay tuned.

Gale force winds will impact the waters northwest of the Channel Islands through this evening. A large tidal difference allows for a high rip current risk at beaches through this evening. A trough of low pressure from the northwest will bring an increase in the onshore flow resulting in cooler temperatures and more clouds and a deeper marine layer tonight into Monday. By Sunday morning, temperatures could drop up to 6 degrees and low clouds may push into the valleys. More significant cooling is expected Monday and there will be limited afternoon clearing. This trough is also expected to bring a slight chance of showers and drizzle north of Point Conception Monday and Tuesday and a deeper marine layer. The slight chance of light rain and drizzle is highly unlikely for this time of year. The amount of precipitation is minimal at best. There should be a slight warm up on Tuesday, with earlier clearing of the marine layer. A significant warm up is expected next weekend due to a large ridge of high pressure building overhead. Temperatures may exceed triple digits inland and hit the upper 80's, low 90's by the end of this week.

Matt Semmelhack and chef Mark Liberman took a real risk last year when they opened in a sketchy area on Mission, but they were rewarded as finalists for the James Beard Best New Restaurant Award, and they have created a national buzz and plan to open a wood-fire restaurant nearby later this year. The decor changes every season - the copper bar and bare wood tables of autumn are replaced in winter with Carrara marble and white tablecloths. Liberman creates even more excitement on the menu that might include cauliflower in various guises - raw, pureed, charred, blanched and dehydrated to create different textures.
Specialties: The menu changes monthly but might include venison tartare with mustard ice cream.
Dinner 5:30-10 p.m. Sunday-Thursday, until 11 p.m. Friday-Saturday; brunch 11 a.m.-2 p.m. Sunday.

In the face of Jim Marshall's passing yesterday, last night's event for the release of his and Timothy White's book Match Prints at the John Varvatos store in Soho was turned into a celebration of the life of the legendary rock photographer. The book is a stunning compilation filled with some of the best shots of the biggest musicians ever; you can see a selection here. "Photography is often so much about egos," White told us. "This wasn't ego. This was really pure." We also caught up with John Varvatos to talk about Marshall's immense work in the world of rock, his own love of rock and his new music blog, JV's Funhouse.
We were all saddened by the sudden news of Jim Marshall's passing.
To me, Jim Marshall was not only a cultural icon and the greatest music photographer of all time, but also a close family friend. He was the top of the heap. Mick Rock, another monster of rock photography, said to me, "It's all about Jim Marshall." There was nobody before Jim Marshall, everybody followed and copied him. But it's good to keep busy and think about other things.
So you have a new blog, JV's Funhouse. What led you to start it?
Well, I'm the biggest music fan, and I enjoy sharing music with other people. For instance, we're loading the blog up with Jim Marshall stuff, unseen photographs; I don't know that everyone knows him and what he did. Or when they think of that iconic photo of Jimi Hendrix he took, they don't know he took it—same with Woodstock on the cover of Time, Allman Brothers, Johnny Cash, all those things. I'm trying to share all of that.
Any great behind-the-scenes moments you can share with us?
There's a little 15-second video of me in the trailer with Eddie Vedder and Pearl Jam. I'm sitting there, watching them playing their drumsticks on the coffee table, and I was so embarrassed to take out my little Flip camera: the video starts at the floor and slowly comes up, and I know Eddie's a really private guy, so I whip it up and turn it off really quickly before he can see me. I'm really shy about it, but I'm also thinking, "What a moment!"
Any favorite bands?
That's a hard one. I've got like 36,000 songs on my iPod and 10,000 vinyl records. There's Iggy and the Stooges, The Who, Jimi Hendrix, to name a few. There are newer bands I love: Alberta Cross, The Soundtrack of our Lives from Sweden. And it's not all just rock n' roll. I'm a huge Miles Davis fan. Love Marvin Gaye. I'm into British blues, Fleetwood Mac—Peter Green is one of the greatest guitar players ever. Those are my "desert island" picks, if I had to grab just a few.
Do you play anything yourself?
I don't really consider what I do playing! The last time I picked up a guitar was when we had Cheap Trick play at our Vegas store. Rick Nielsen called me on stage, handed me a guitar, and I got to play and sing "Surrender" with him. I also got to play "School's Out" with Alice Cooper. I have a 19-month-old daughter who won't allow me to do much of that anymore though. She's always beating on the strings when I try to practice.

HSBC does like to do its own thing, that's for sure.

Pastor Chat: Marriage Matters
04.16.12 |
Pastor Dave Bretch from Beartown Road Alliance Church in Painted Post, NY talks with Bob Price about the importance of marriage. Join us for this week's discussion "Marriage Matters" and leave us your comments below.
Your Comments(please keep them on topic and polite)
on 04.16.12 Misty commented
I want to say that Marriage does matter. In june I will have been married for 19 years. But about 14 years ago I fell apart. My husband picked up the slack that I left when I left reaity for awhile. When the medications made it even harder for me to function My husband pulled up his boot straps and kept the house running. I could not leave the house I would become scared and need to run home. I was physically ill do to my demons I was fighting. I am still fighting to get out and my husband never complains. He works full time and came home and took care of me and the kids full time. Now don't get me wrong I was a good mother but unable to do much else. I spent many a days just sitting and staring and if I want I was in a panic attack or fighting a flashback. Even Though My psychiatrist told him on numerous occasions to turn his phone off and leave me, He never did He never complained. I was listening to the conversation with Jonny and her husband. I was only able to here some but There interview left no doubt to what God did for them and I have more proof that God is chosen my path and That I am finally on the right path to get well. I have indisputable proof that God is taking care of my life and many others. My husband was sent to me by God to get me over such a rough patch in our married life. Once my husband chose to give the meds back and follow closer with God I find the strength to do more and I find the strength make it through my rough patches. When my doctor said I would never get better and I would have to be on the meds forever. He would not even consider backing the meds some to try it. We chose God and Even though I has been only a few months. I can do more, I actually leave the house more and am able to stay gone longer with out getting sick and flight. I am not saying It is all over and I will never have any bad days. But with God I know we will make it.
I wanted to brag my husband has gone through a lot to help me and he proves he will go the long hall every day
on 04.17.12 Dave commented
Misty, that is a great story of a husband's unconditional love. Very inspiring. God has blessed you with a godly husband. He seems to be putting on display Christ's love for the church. Thank you for sharing your story!

Photos: Weird and/or offensive vintage fireworks
The 4th of July is behind us, but not fireworks. We'll likely be hearing explosions throughout the weekend -- even in places that have prohibited fireworks due to the high fire danger. Such bans were rare back in the day, even though a lot of the fireworks made during the first half of the 20th Century look dangerous as hell. As proof, check out the following gallery of fireworks catalog items from a collection assembled at Fireworksland.com. Some of them are odd, others are bizarre and the top pick is so flat-out offensive that our jaw is still on the floor. Check them out below.Big photos below.
Number 10: Wild elephant
Talk about an endangered species.
Number 9: Auto joke bomb
Always a favorite with members of the Mafia.

In their 16 seasons as a franchise since 1998, the Tampa Bay Rays have only had six winning seasons. It just so happens that those six seasons have been the previous six years.
Coincidentally, in each of these six seasons, lefty pitcher David Price has been on the team. Granted, he only pitched in five regular-season games in 2008, but he was an integral piece in guiding that team to its first and only World Series appearance.
It's no secret that Price is a franchise arm who has helped turned the Rays into a yearly contender after a decade of mediocre play. In his five full seasons, Price has been a three-time All-Star and was the hands-down AL Cy Young Award winner in 2012 after finishing 20-5 with a league-leading 2.56 ERA.
But now, the small-market Rays have a tough decision with Price scheduled to be a free agent after the 2015 season. Should they look to trade Price now when they can get back a maximum package of prospects or should they hold tight at least for this season?
Naturally, all 29 other MLB teams would be interested in a talent like Price -- at the right "price" that is. Only a few teams, however, would have the collection of top prospects to make a deal with the Rays.
The Rays have to realize what they're up against. The New York Yankees are much improved and are looking to add Masahiro Tanaka, and the Boston Red Sox are coming off a World Series victory.
In order for the Rays to compete with these top teams in the AL East, they'll need Price leading their very talented starting rotation. The team's strength has been its pitching during its six consecutive winning seasons, and that's not likely to change this year if Price is in the mix.
Basically, the Rays have this year as their window to make a deep postseason run. As the offseason continues, other teams seeking Price will likely decrease their trade packages, knowing that the Rays are really hamstrung.
We all know the Rays will not be able to lock up Price long-term, and the rest of the league knows that as well. At still only 28 years old, Price will likely command a seven- or eight-year deal in the neighborhood of $20-25 million per season. There's no way the Rays would come up with that kind of money.
So whether it is this season or next offseason, expect Price to be on the move. The sooner the Rays trade him, the better the chance to get back a hefty package of prospects.
If the Rays pull off a deal this offseason, let's say, the acquiring team would still have him under team control for two full seasons before negotiating a multi-year. However, any team that gives up a package of prospects would likely have the long-term offer for Price already agreed upon before the trade is completed.
God forbid Price has a bad year or gets hurt this year. The Rays would then have to be willing to accept less of package next offseason. And if no trade occurs before the start of the 2016 season, the Rays likely would have lost their chance to maximize Price's trade potential.
There's a difference between Price and Robinson Cano, who signed a 10-year, $240 million contract this offseason with the Seattle Mariners. The Yankees were legitimate players for Cano all along, so trading him would have been looked at as a sign of giving up. In fact, the Yankees had the highest offer on the table until the Mariners blew Cano away.
The Rays, however, are not players for Price long-term, so the team has to ensure that it at least gets something back via trade rather than have Price walk after his contract expires -- like what happened with Cano.
This is such a difficult decision for the Rays because Price puts fans in the stands at a ballpark that typically does not draw well. He simply makes this team a contender every year.
But if the Rays could have three or four immediate impact players back in a trade for Price right now as opposed to maybe only getting one or two prospects in a later trade, that's something the team must strongly consider.

Thai people used to say they were never occupied. True because they adjusted to the invaders and
always gave right of way to them to pass through to neighbouring countries. Japan was allowed to
pass through to crush Malaysia and Singapore. This avoided destruction of the country. They enjoyed peace. The problem was internal. Post war, the constitutional King Mahipol was shot dead. The present King Rama the IV was a boy and had regents. When he ascended the throne he was mature,pious and
understanding. But, the military brought coup after coup and destablised the nation. Slowly American influence and subtle guidance eliminated coups and there was constitutional Govt.for a long time. The King set example to people by becoming temporary Bikku and sought alms from houses every morning for a month.I lived in Bangkok in late fifties for two years and enjoyed my stay during a stable period of
calm and progress. People were very peaceful and happy go lucky, and a lot of traditional virtues were followed. They deserve a democratically elected government without interference either from the Palace or the military. I remember Queen Sirikit when young as a most graceful and sisterly,later motherly, figure, encourging, consoling and guiding, and supporting the King in Constitutional monarchy. I cant believe she is interfering and misleading the army. Let us hope the new Prime Minister will be allowed to run the country to better days, and hopefully also without interference from her dominating fugitive brother.
Hearty Congratulation Premier Yingluck Sinawatra. The world is looking forward to see a successful leader looking after the interest of the electorates who had made near impossible a reality. Wish you all the best.
The world is littered with examples of how egotistical, vindictive self-serving people have dragged their countries through years of chaos and disaster. How do you stop it? Democracy is supposed to offer the best system for that...at least you can kick such people out. But in the case of Thailand and Thaksin he keeps trying to come back. Not unheard of.
Abhisit has a key role to play in ensuring stability. Not just Yingluck. He should stand firm on insisting that the law and due process are upheld and institutions are strengthened, not undermined. As should Yingluck.
I think your closing words says it all: "In chess, the king and queen are the most important pieces on the board. But knights are capable of fancy footwork. Thailand is waiting to learn what a female knight can do."
Will Ms Yingluck prove to be the proverbial 'knight in shining armour' her people are desperately searching for, or morph into an 'angel of death'? Time will answer that, sooner than later.
Let the game of chess unfold..
Long live the king!
"Her enemies are already cooking up legal reasons to dissolve PT and remove her from office."
Does The National Press Council of Thailand's finding this week that Thaksin's Pheua Thai party in the lead-up to the recent election systematically bought off and manipulated the press amount to "cooking up legal reasons"? (For details see http://www.presscouncil.or.th/th2/ and http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/local/252297/ruling-party-bribes-email-w....) In a western country, such allegations would surely have lead to criminal investigations, and, if confirmed, likely resignation of the government and possibly even a re-run of the election.
Not only Yingluck needs to boost the economy and raise the standard of living of the poor as promised, she also has to tackle the political opponents tactfully, not forgetting the army and loyalists watching behind the scene.
Moreover, the carnage in the restive South (practically ignored by the world) drags on, with no immediate amiable solution in sight. (vzc1943, TM)
Ms Yingluck's fate is rested with her handling with the army which had experienced the bitter and sweet of trauma of interference with the election result of topping Thaksin etc.
The Army was just using Thai King as camouflage to cover their sinister motives of invading their dirty hands in politics and I feel they would not hesitate to do so if Yingluck didn't kowtow to their demands irrespective rational or not!
Thai king and his dynasty due to the Thai commoners a debt more than 1000 years and so Thai King should have the wisdom and intelligence to allowing Yingluck or any political party in power to do a better job for the benefits of all Thais and not just the vested interests of Bangkok elites etc but the indispensable paramount interests of the Thai commoners and including them! Namo Amithba!!!
She can get the job done if Thaksin and Gen Prem do not interfere.
"The army has ignored calls to account for its killing of unarmed protesters and bystanders."
Here The Economist is probably unwittingly propagating propaganda from Thaksin's PR man Robert Amsterdam. The army's harsh crackdown was due to prior attacks from heavily armed factions among the red shirts. According to http://www.hrw.org/node/98416:
"...Human Rights Watch's research, including extensive interviews with UDD leaders and protesters, found that UDD claims to be a peaceful mass mobilization were undermined by the presence of highly skilled and deadly armed groups"
"...many assumed that Red Shirt security guards were behind the armed violence against government forces. However, Human Rights Watch's investigations found that the attacks did not originate with Red Shirt Guards, but with a secretive armed element within the UDD"
International journalists were even embedded with the red shirts' armed wing (see http://atimes.com/atimes/Southeast_Asia/LE29Ae02.html).

Junctional rhythm
See brief interpretation of 12 lead EKG above
Junctional rhythms originate in the atrioventricular (AV) junction, which consists of the atrioventricular node and the bundle of His.
Remember that all cells of the conduction system have the potential to generate electrical impulses. Normally the higher frequency of the sinoatrial node (SA, sinus node) will override the other cells of the conduction system and drive the heart contractions. Junctional rhythms may originate as escape rhythms when sinus node activity becomes too slow or are blocked.
The rate of a junctional escape rhythm is 40-60 beats per minute. The P waves are conducted in a retrograde fashion (unless block or AV dissociation is present) and may precede, succeed or be hidden in the QRS complexes. Because of this retrograde activation of the atria the P waves (if visible) will appear negative in the inferior leads (II, III, aVF). The QRS complexes are often narrow, but may be wide due to bundle branch block (as in the EKG in this article).
Junctional rhythms may also override the sinus node simply by firing at a faster rate. This is called accelerated junctional rhythm as the rate is faster than normal for the AV junction. The rate of accelerated junctional rhythm is 60-100 beats per minute. If the rate is more than 100 beats per minute the rhythm is called junctional tachycardia.
Accelerated junctional rhythm may be due to digitalis intoxication or heart disease and is seldom seen in normal individuals. Junctional escape rhythm is seen in normal individuals (due to increased parasympathetic activity) but also as a result of heart blocks.

The 2005 Jossip Awards: Media Madness 30270
2005 was a pretty boring year for magazines. A few folds, a few launches, a few EIC departees and scandals...nothing too mind-blowing. Or, maybe it was just that the shame shadows cast by the New York Times are large enough to cloud over an entire industry. TV News had its moments, as did blogs! It was tough competition, but the categories and their nominees for Best Media Moments are here:
(and don't forget the winners after the jump!)
• 'Twas the year for founding magazine EICs to abandon their babies, and we sure were sad to see them go. Sarah Gray Miller broke a few hearts when she left Budget Living's pockets empty. And of course there was Jane Pratt's confusing departure from Jane, which led Brandon Holley to say c'ya to ELLEgirl. It's hard enough to keep track, let alone choose our fave EIC flee.
• Ah, the scandals of journalism. If only there was a tabloid for media freaks to follow each other's wrong-doings. Nominees for 2005's biggest newsmedia mishaps go to Judith Miller for her NYT/Scooter Libby/Valerie Plame protection/revelation debacle. And recently, there was that whole NYT wiretap/PR disguised as service journalism fiasco. And of course, who could forget good old Graydon Carter's Deep Throat discovery? (Not to mention all the press leaks it inspired.)
• Sometimes, newscasters can get a little whacky, but that's why we love them. Television news needs its moment in the spotlight too, so we have nominated a couple in the category of TV travesties: Al Roker for his Hurricane Wilma wipe-out or Matt Lauer for holding his own when attacked with Tom Cruise's particular brand of cruisaziness. (Ok, we realize these are both Today Show incidents, but all the nerds already covered the real news.)
• When unoriginal mags launch, nobody wins. Yet, they just keep on launchin'. Our favorite new mags of the year? David will kill us all if we don't list Cookie, everyone's fave billionaire baby book. And then there was Weekend, another richie rich mag for people who have like seven houses and a cabin, and overcrowding the tabloid market from abroad is the very celeboring OK!. We hate them all, but which is truly the most unnecessary new mag of the year? After the jump, guys!
• The worst things to happen to media this year? Its a sad category, but someone's gotta do it. We don't what was more heartbreaking, the death of Peter Jennings or the death of Radar. And Judy behind bars was kind of a blow to the industry (yes, she can be nominated twice). Hmm, what else...? Oh, yeah, Peter Braunstein on the loose was pretty f'd up.
And the winners! It was tough but...
• Our Fave EIC Flee had to be Jane Pratt. That magazine just isn't soo Jane without her.
• How could there have been a bigger Newsmedia Mishap than Judy Miller? She went to jail. And then she got fired! We can't wait to see what the Times has in store for us next year.
• Only because we can't ever stand to hear the word "glib" again, we need to give the TV Travesty of 2005 to Al Roker. That was some hardcore weather journalism!
• The Most Unnecessary Magazine of 2005 was: Cookie, of course. We don't like babies who wear more expensive clothes than we do, ok?
• The absolutely Worst Thing to Happen to Media this year? Ok, WWD, it was close. And we do think what Braunstein did was worse, but Radar's demise really affected us.. In fact, it affected us all, and we may never, ever recover.
That is, until tomorrow, when Jossip's nominees for various incestual city awards are revealed. Beware!

This y-neck scrub top from WonderWink is made from baby-soft fabric and cut with modern tailoring. It features fine stitching details, an ID bungee loop, and signature WonderWink pockets for the utmost functionality. Fabric Content: 55% Cotton/45% Polyester.
Like it but don't love it. Like everything about it except the fabric seems stiff, even after four washings with fabric softener. Fits nice, comfortable also.
I purchased this top in the pale pink and love the way it fits and looks. I only have Wink Scrubs and now I am getting this top in Hot Pink. Love It
I tried on MANY different brands/types of scrubs and WINK is the only brand that fit correctly. The XS was actually an XS and I did not drown in it or have to have it altered. They feel like I'm wearing pajamas and there is plenty of room in the pockets for all my junk. I bought all six colors and these are the only kind I wear.

Useless but amusing: SA Emoticons in Colloquy.
I recently made the switch to Thinking Different, and while there are a lot of things to like here, Adium doesn't support IRC, and Colloquy didn't have any emots worth using.
That didn't leave me many options, but I had the Something Awful emoticon pack for Adium, and the Adium emoticon pack for Colloquy, too much free time, and a minimal amount of skill with perl. I'll cut to the chase and just toss a link in here if you're in a hurry.
There's a file, grep.pl, in that archive, that should be useful if you want to see how it works, but this post is mostly to lay out any issues, and put the link out there for download (It should be on the Colloquy extras site soon, unless they reject it because some of the icons aren't work safe, and the official SA emoticons site, unless the maintainer there doesn't feel like posting it). I was going to do a post about the inner workings and process, but it's fairly boring, basically poking around the Adium Colloquy emoticon file layout and XML structure, and very light XML parsing. All told I spent around 2 hours on the whole thing, including testing.
By way of caveat, this still has some weirdness.

For your convenience, the Vicksburg Municipal Airport offers courtesy cars for your use. Visitor's guides and maps are available at the terminal and this site provides links that will help plan your visit. www.visitvicksburg.com.
The airport is owned and operated by the City of Vicksburg. The Airport is a General Aviation Airport which serves private, business, and corporate tenants and customers. The airport is located seven miles south of the City of Vicksburg, one mile east of the Mississippi River. The facility has a 5,000 foot runway (01 and 19) which has a 300 foot displaced threshold on 01 and a two hundred foot displaced threshold on 19. The Airport contains seven City-owned buildings that consist of thirty aircraft storage hangar units, a newly remodeled 2,450 square foot Terminal building, and an aircraft maintenance facility. The airport owns and operates a 25,000-gallon aviation fuel storage facility, dispenses fuel via two tank trucks. The airport has approximately 30 based aircraft. The airfield is accessible 24 hours a day and is attended by city contractor during the hours listed under "Airport Services". A Message From The DirectorHello, and welcome to the Vicksburg Municipal Airport, conveniently located just seven miles southwest of downtown Vicksburg. Our airport has gone through several recent upgrades, and we are continuing to make appropriate improvements to make your visit to the Vicksburg Municipal Airport a memorable one. There is both 100LL and jet fuel available, along with onsite maintenance assistance, which allows us to accommodate practically any general aviation aircraft. Both our pilots' lounge and waiting area are comfortable and inviting; the flight planning room is Wi-Fi capable, allowing instant access to online resources. Our on-field weather reporting services have been updated to provide incoming aircraft with up-to-the minute weather at the field. A courtesy car is also available on a first-come, first-served basis for those who need short-term transportation within the local area. We hope that you will pay us a visit soon and take in some of the great historical sites, fine dining and recreational venues that Vicksburg has to offer. We know that you will be glad you visited Vicksburg, and whenever you drop in, we will be happy to serve you. Sam Washington, Airport Director About VicksburgVicksburg was established in 1811 and incorporated in 1825. The location was chosen because of its strategic location high above the unpredictable whims of Old Man River. The city rapidly grew to become a center of commerce and wealth as railroads brought goods from throughout the region to be loaded on steamboats for shipment to markets around the world. By the mid-1840s the Vicksburg and Meridian Railroad spanned the state and was the only east-west railroad between Memphis and New Orleans. Today Vicksburg still has a major influence on the Mississippi River by serving as the headquarters of the U.S. States Army Corps of Engineers Mississippi Valley Division and Engineer Research and Development Center as well as the Mississippi River Commission. Vicksburg offers visitors a number of museums and historic tour homes that provide insight into the city's unique history. The Vicksburg National Military Park commemorates the 47-day Siege of Vicksburg and is home to the largest National Military Cemetery of Union soldiers in the country. The Old Court House Museum houses over 15,000 artifacts that detail the history of the city and region. The Biedenharn Coca-Cola® Museum has the distinction of being where the soft drink was first bottled. In downtown you will find a number of restaurants, specialty shops and art galleries. |

Albert F. Painter Jr., Psy.D., Assistant Dean
Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine
Sponsored Graduate Medical Education Programs
Resident Manual
Item 211
Benefits, Leaves, Support
Revised January 2009
Workmen's Compensation. Except for active duty military residents, all residents are covered by the Workmen's Compensation Law of Ohio for all on-the-job injuries, and thereby, receive medical expense benefits as well as disability payments and death benefits to dependents.
When a resident is injured while on duty at a hospital other than the employer, initial emergency care will be provided by the hospital. Application for workmen's compensation should be made through the employing institution.
Professional Liability. The employing institution provides each civilian resident with professional liability coverage for the duration of training. This coverage provides legal defense and protection against awards from claims reported or filed after the completion of graduate medical education (GME).
For residents on active duty with the U.S. Air Force who are assigned to a federal hospital, liability coverage is determined by provisions of the Federal Torts Claims Act. Non-federal hospitals will provide liability insurance coverage for military residents for claims regarding alleged acts or omissions occurring while the military resident was on duty at that hospital. This coverage provides legal defense and protection against awards from claims reported or filed after the completion of GME.
Coverage is not provided for duties that are not assigned as part of the resident's training program.
Disability Leave of Absence. The employing institution governs disability leaves of absence.
Educational Leave. Residents may, at the discretion of the program director, receive educational leave to attend local, regional, or national special courses, continuing education programs, and professional meetings consistent with career goals.
For the first-year resident, the amount of time and stipend level is at the discretion of the program director. The program director must give prior approval and pay for it from departmental funds. The first-year resident may attend local, one-day educational programs within driving distance without overnight stay.
In all cases, educational leave must have prior approval of the program director and the employing institution. If a resident attends a meeting without prior approval, the resident assumes responsibility for all expenses. The money available to underwrite this cost is subject to quarterly review in relation to the employer's institutional budget. Appropriate receipts are required for reimbursement. Educational leave may not be taken as vacation time. The director of medical education will provide specific information related to this action.
Personal Leave of Absence. A leave of absence may be granted by the program director and the resident's employer under extenuating circumstances for personal reasons. Because a leave of absence may be disruptive to the residency program and the participating hospital(s), it should only be considered as an alternative of last resort. Leaves of absence are different from educational leave, sick leave, or vacation leave, in that ordinarily a resident has to make-up the time to fulfill training requirements if so determined by the program director.
To request a leave of absence, submit a written letter to the program director, with a copy to the director of medical education of the employing institution, if applicable, stating why leave is needed, how the time will be spent, and when leave will begin and end. Leaves of absence must be approved in advance by the program director and the employing institution, if applicable. In making the request, provide as much lead time as possible to minimize disruption to the program and the participating institution(s).
A leave of absence is granted when the resident would benefit from a temporary relief from duties due to personal reasons. When a leave of absence is granted, it is anticipated that the resident will return to the program and assume all normal responsibilities at its termination. Since the residency program and the participating institution(s) have a vested interest in the return and resumption of duties, the program director may elect to approve the request with specific and reasonable stipulations related to the activities in which the resident should or should not participate.
Leaves of absence may be paid or unpaid at the discretion of the employer. Fringe benefits may be continued at the discretion of the employer.
For residents in Boonshoft School of Medicine programs who are on active duty in the United States Air Force (USAF), USAF rules and regulations shall apply.
Sick Leave, Parental Leave and Absences. The employing institution governs sick leave, parental leave and absences.
Temporary Military Duty. If a resident is a member of a military reserve unit and must report for temporary military duty, defined as the usual two-week training program for reservists, she will receive the difference between her predetermined weekly salary and any compensation received for military duty, for each week of that two week period.
Vacation. The employing institution governs vacation.
Notification of effects of leave on board eligibility. Any leave (time away from the program) above and beyond approved vacation must be considered by the program director in determining whether the resident has satisfactorily completed the training program in accordance with the appropriate specialty requirements and what effect extension of training will have on an individual's eligibility to sit for the specific specialty board exam.
Housing. The resident is responsible for securing personal living quarters. On-call quarters, if required by the program, is provided by the hospital to which the resident is assigned. Furnishings, complete linen supplies, and maid service are provided. When on duty, residents sleep in the assigned on-call rooms.
Lockers and Mail Boxes. Residents will be provided locker space and mail boxes at each of the hospitals participating in the training program. These will be provided at no cost.
Meals. Residents are not provided with meals. Individual hospital policy will govern on-duty days.
Parking. Residents will be assigned designated parking areas at each of the hospitals. When a resident must return to a hospital to complete medical records, parking should be without charge.
Prescription Drugs. The health insurance benefits policy of the employing institution governs the provision of prescription drugs.
Uniforms. A total of four uniforms as prescribed by the hospitals will be issued at no charge to each resident. Uniforms should always be worn when on duty. The hospital to which the resident is assigned will provide uniform laundry at no charge.

A typical corded circular saw with a 24-tooth, 71/4-in. blade spins at about 5800 rpm. Don't rush for your calculator -- we've already run the numbers: Those teeth are doing about 125 mph when they hit the wood, making as many as 139,200 bites per minute. It all adds up to the fastest-cutting portable woodworking tool you can buy. (Okay, a chain saw is faster, but just a little sloppier.)
Most power tool makers offer several circular saw models. To the uninitiated, they all look alike. What makes some of them stand out are design features that allow easy adjustment and good blade visibility, plus extras such as a blade brake or laser guide. The better saws have more accurately aligned bases and kerf indicators, and they run more smoothly.
Saw Essentials
We focused on the type of saw known as a sidewinder -- one with the motor protruding from the side of the blade and a spur-gear transmission. Heavier worm-drive saws are favored by some carpenters (see "The Worm-Drive Mystique" below), but sidewinders have the edge in popularity because they're lighter, cheaper and easier to handle.
All circular saws include kerf-indicator notches at the front of the base, one for 0 degrees and one for 45 degrees, to make it easier to align the blade with a cutline. These vary in accuracy. The best method for cutting straight is to simply watch the blade meet the line. Three of our saws, from Black & Decker, Ryobi and Skil, have one or more lasers intended to indicate the kerf. A laser can make a difference on a long panel cut, but it doesn't help much when you're crosscutting 2x stock. Worse, lasers are hard to see in bright sunlight, making them useless for many outdoor jobs.
A more important factor is how easy it is to alter blade depth and angle. Circular saws have either knobs or levers to make these adjustments. Levers are the better choice. For accurate cuts, the saw base must be square to the blade, and most tools have a screw to fine-tune this angle. The base edge must also be parallel to the blade. If it's not, the saw will bind or veer when guided against a straightedge.
Most sidewinders have the blade on the right side of the motor (from the user's point of view), while worm drives have the blade on the left. Left-blade saws generally have better cutline and blade visibility (for righthanded users). But, they put the weight of the saw on what's usually the waste side of the line, so the saw is unsupported when the cut is complete. Porter-Cable offers both right- and left-blade saws -- we tried out the left-blade model.
Our Picks
We tested the saws in our upstate New York workshop this fall. They all cut well, but when it came to features, there were clear winners. The only saw to earn a top score of five stars was the Milwaukee. It has everything and it's built like a tank. Of the remaining models priced above $100, the Ridgid gets the nod for best value, while the DeWalt, Hitachi, Porter-Cable and Makita are all good choices. For those on a tighter budget, we like the Skil -- it has the best laser of the bunch.
THE WORM-DRIVE MYSTIQUE Saws with the motor parallel to the blade transfer power through a 90-degree turn. Most of these use a worm drive -- a gear design that reduces blade speed and increases torque. (Makita uses hypoid gears.) Worm drives are known for unstoppable power, but the tradeoff is a heavier, unbalanced tool with a higher price. If you know a carpenter who uses a worm drive, don't argue with him -- he's probably stronger than you are. |
To compare power, we bolted identical blades to the saws and timed each as it ripped 8-ft. lengths of 2 x 6 stock. Given material and user-force variations, our results aren't entirely objective. Yet, some tools consistently felt hungrier than others.

$179 with rip guide and case |
What We Liked Tilting handle can be locked in place or free to rotate on long cuts. Saw is quiet with good power. Disliked No trigger guard makes accidental starts likely. Left base edge isn't straight, so short guided cuts are difficult. Small knobs, poor cut visibility. |
