Leeds needed an injury-time own goal from Leyton Orient defender Charlie Daniels to take a point from a game which they had dominated.The visitors had nine first-half corners but Orient goalkeeper Jamie Jones was in fine form, keeping out Gary McSheffrey and Leigh Bromby. Late on the hosts got into the game and went ahead when Tamika Mkandawire headed in Nicky Adams's cross. But just as they looked to have won it, Adams put the ball into his own net.

Rabobank has published a new research report on the global pork industry which states that as a result of continuing high feed costs, the key success factor for the foodservice industry will be supply discipline in 2013 and beyond.
Global pork prices have started 2013 at historically strong levels, but in the report, Rabobank's global Food & Agribusiness Research and Advisory team says that some weakness in prices is anticipated in late Q1 and into Q2 due to pressures on production and limited growth in global consumption levels.
The bank forecasts that pork prices in 2013 will be impacted by swing factors including:
According to the report, the pace of pork demand growth is the key unknown for industry margins in 2013, and is highly dependent upon economic growth in the developing world.
Strong Chinese demand ahead of the Chinese New Year in February supported global pork prices early in 2013. However, bank analysts say price movements in China will be a key indicator for the year moving into Q2. Global pork prices may come under slight pressure because production growth in China, the U.S., Brazil, and Russia is expected to be higher than global consumption growth.
Higher prices for pork are expected and necessary for 2013, as the drought in the U.S. and Black Sea region last year has led to low inventories of feed crops, and adverse weather in pork-producing countries continues to limit production expansion. There is now no margin for error for world crop production, with pork production and pork pricing in the second half of 2013 highly dependent upon crop growing conditions.
There is also uncertainty regarding the pace and magnitude of European Union enforcement of the ban on sow crates, which Rabobank forecasts will reduce the sow herd, keeping EU pork prices high.
However, the report predicts that global prices will be at a lower average level than previously forecast, since the expected consequence of higher feed costs - herd liquidation - has not occurred, as producers in the U.S. have managed their risk by using futures contracts.
"Despite the higher feed input costs, the U.S. swine breeding herd has modestly expanded and large scale farming continues to develop at a rapid pace in China, Russia and Brazil. There seems to be limited opportunity for a significant increase in pork prices, given this expansion. Chinese hog supplies appear to be sufficient, but recovery in the Chinese economy could stimulate demand growth," said Rabobank analyst David Nelson.
In developed pork markets, the challenge will come from managing soft demand and often excess capacity. As such, the report states, supply discipline will remain the key success factor for the pork industry's performance this year and beyond.

On the road with nothing but a BlackBerry
PUBLISHED: 24 Apr 2012 00:04:39 | UPDATED: 24 Apr 2012 11:45:51PUBLISHED: 24 Apr 2012 PRINT EDITION: 24 Apr 2012David Ramli
Barnaby Joyce in Sydney's Chifley Square last week . . . 'My children hate my phone.' Photo: Rob Homer
It's 11:02am on a rain-swept Sydney Wednesday and Nationals senator Barnaby Joyce is a man on the go with no time to spare.
Between interviews, meetings and fast-drunk coffees, he's glued to his BlackBerry and checking emails or taking calls.
But despite having a cyborg-like attachment to his phone, the outspoken Queensland politician sees technology as a bittersweet pill – the font of all knowledge, a source of depression and a home to bizarre pornography.
Since his election to the Senate during the Howard years in 2004, Joyce has spent nearly a decade on the road. As a senator for a state rather than a member of Parliament for an electorate, he travels throughout Australia for weeks at a time.
While he sometimes uses an iPad to read emails, he readily admits he doesn't own one – his staffer's device was hastily grabbed as a prop for the photo shoot.
Instead much of his work, research and even 700-word editorials for newspapers are done on a BlackBerry smartphone, which has survived a range of disasters including being dropped through the wheels of a moving motorbike.
"I live further from the coast than any other senator in Australia so I spend a lot of time on the road – in fact more than [Opposition Leader] Tony Abbott because I have to sleep away," he says.
"The job is an incredible honour but you do get more and more depressed because of the time spent away and you get disassociated from your family. You come to the conclusion you spend more time in a motel than in your own bed."
According to Joyce, the result is tremendous strain on his wife, four young daughters and network of friends with a Parliament-issued BlackBerry often his sole lifeline to home.
"In many ways being in Parliament is like being a fly in, fly out worker," he says. "You have various associations with people you meet in hotels, motels, on the street and taxi drivers but you don't really have an established network of friends.
"It worries me and it worries my family . . . so you've got to work on relationships."
But that isn't to say his family has anything but dangerous plans for the unfortunate smartphone, which becomes a huge burden on his personal time as soon as it comes home.
"My connection to my children is via my BlackBerry," he says. "But my children hate my phone. When an artist painted me for the Archibald she asked the kids what they wanted in the painting and they wanted to put the mobile phone in the bottom of the ocean."
Joyce blames the fast pace of technology for speeding up the media cycle and forcing people in business and politics to spend more time glued to computers, televisions and the internet.
"It was recently reported I'd been lobbying for a doubling of the baby bonus, which was complete and utter rubbish," he says. "But I know that if I don't go flat out denying it with the technology that's available to me [his Twitter account has around 8000 followers] then the smell of dog poo will stick. If you don't comment then you're seen to be supporting the position . . . because in an age of 24/7 media silence is seen as tacit approval."
But even if he quit Parliament, Joyce knows his home life has been altered forever by the influence of gadgets like the Apple iPhone and laptops his daughters use.
Where the Joyce household once gathered around the television for family time, they now scatter to all corners to surf the internet and chat with friends.
"The world has changed because once upon a time social life revolved around the dinner table . . . after which we'd retire to the lounge to watch television before retiring to bed," he says.
"Now it's trying to get all devices switched off for dinner and then people go to four corners of the house.
"It's sad because we'd just managed to make the television the place to draw a family together and now because of the myriad of portals people don't come across each other till dinner."
The senator's traditional view of family life and technology also affects his stance on policy issues. Even though his own side is a strong opponent of mandatory filtering, he remains a supporter of moves by Labor's Communications Minister Stephen Conroy to force telecommunications firms to block parts of the internet.
"Just because it's there doesn't mean it should be available," he says. "I don't think it takes us to a higher form of civilisation to see someone chock-a-block up the back of an animal.
"Once I was stupid enough to show one of my kids how Google worked. They looked up a word and what they saw was beyond the pale."
But he doesn't hold a grudge against the internet or technology. Joyce sees gadgets and connectivity as a tool that should be used for knowledge and information.
"The key for me is how we create the structure and formation in a child to inspire them for the usage of this for the betterment of society," he says. "You can look up Deep Throat or you can look up [English poet] Alfred Tennyson.
"The choice is there and it can be great or disastrous."
Love it or hate it, Joyce knows the rural and regional Australians he represents need technology and fast internet speeds as businesses and services move out of the bush.
"For country people, technology is more important than it is for people in the city," he says. "Our bank is our computer and our first contact with so many services is through the internet.
"For so many people that were sceptical, [the internet] is now front and centre because we use it for so many things."
Halfway through his second term in the senate, Joyce now has plans to move into the House of Representatives. While some political analysts believe it's part of a tilt at the position of Deputy Prime Minister, he says a main reason is to cut down the number of hours spent away from home.
The move comes with plenty of risk both from within his party and current sitting members such as independent Tony Windsor.
But he says he'd leave politics a man with no regrets and turn to either accountancy or his family business if forced out of office.
"I've always given my wife the option so that if she says my job is over then it is and I would seriously leave without any regrets," he says.
"If I go I won't chuck out the phone but I certainly won't use it anywhere near as much."

Aug 21, 2010 With surprisingly soft beds, a top-rating restaurant, excellent exercise facilities and top-notch service, the Hyatt on Capitol Square has definitely been one of the finer hotels I have stayed in. The rooms were clean and tidy with plenty of space and amenities. I must say that the view from my window wasn't as flattering as it could have been. Rooms on the north side of the hotel offer a wonderful vantage point at which to view the Ohio Statehouse and downtown Columbus; while the south and east sides mostly show a large construction site or the roof of the Ohio Theatre. If you want a room with a view, I would suggest reserving a spot on the north side of the building. The hotel staff were constantly attentive and polite; they overall helped make my trip a more enjoyable one. Not to mention the wonderful dining opportunities on site. If you are going for a quick or casual meal, stop at Darby's Cafe on the outdoor porch while relaxing to the sound of water gushing from the fountain. Perhaps you wish to dine at a more upscale location? You can visit The Plaza, one of the finest restaurants lower Columbus! With it's elegant view of the Capitol from the second story picture windows, you'll be relaxed and enjoying yourself in no time! And just because you are on vacation doesn't mean you cant find time for exercise! The Hyatt offers a complete gym and sauna for all guests. You can run on a treadmill, use stair-steppers, bench press and many other workouts. When you are finished, you can relax and exfoliate in the Hyatt's wooden sauna. Overall, I would give the Hyatt in Capitol Square in Columbus, Ohio a five-star rating. I feel that the guest service, the bountiful amenities and the prime location to get anywhere in the city make this my first choice when staying in Columbus. Related Links

Wells-Barnett, Mrs. Ida B. The East St. Louis Massacre: The Greatest Outrage of the Century . Chicago: The Negro Fellowship Herald Press, 1917. [format: book], [genre: report; narrative]. Permission: Public domain
East St. Louis, after the mischief had been done, thro its Chamber of Commerce and committee of business men, took steps to bring back the thousands of Negro workmen who had been driven away by the brutalities described in these pages. Orders were given to let no more pass over the bridge and men had to get permits to go to their own homes or move their effects on Friday, the fourth day after the riot. "All except five of the twelve thousands refugees on the Missouri side declined today to accept the invitation of the East St. Louis Chamber of Commerce to return to work in the packing and manufacturing plants." The Chicago Herald, July 6th, 1917, had the following article from the pen of Jack Lait, its well known correspondent: East St. Louis, Ill., July 6. Mrs. Ida Wells Barnett of Chicago, one of the foremost colored women in America, left here tonight for her home. "The Negroes and the law-abiding Whites are in the hands of a conspiracy, unquestionably well financed and closely organized, a coalition of the labor unions of the North and the manufacturers and planters of the South," she declared. "The South is almost bankrupt because the Negroes are leaving. In the North the control of labor unions is being torn away by the coming of competing, unorganized colored labor." "Money is being spent like water to drive the Negro back where he came from and murder, arson, intimidation propaganda and scandal are being stirred up as the weapons of this infamous plot." Mrs. Barnett said that the Negroes would not return to East St. Louis, in spite of the sugar-coated invitation of the employers and the sincere promise of safety from the state authorities. "When they hang at least one of the men who butchered our babies and strung up our decent men and bludgeoned our women and burned our homes and threw our wounded into the flames, then the Negroes might come back. But until some such symbol of lasting efficiency and sincerity on the part of the whites is revealed, our people will not return to this hotbed of hatred and crime." Today's results verified her statement. Exactly five Negroes answered the call to return. Out of about 12,000 not half a dozen accepted the homecoming appeal. The work of disarming the remaining blacks went on. One after another the militia autos pulled up at the city hall and the soldiers lugged in armfuls of muskets, carbines, sixshooters, razors and bowie knives. All the afternoon the Chamber of Commerce and Associated Merchants met in a mass at the council chambers and at the end signed a remarkable statement and set of resolutions, which Mayor Mollman was ordered to sign first. He meekly drew his signature to the open, and thereby official, confession to the world of the city's shame, the guilt of its police, the inefficiency, inactivity and hostility of the first contingent of state troops. The demand was incorporated that the police system be reorganized and that the guilty be fully punished. All day long a star chamber inquest from which newspaper men and the public were rigidly barred went on. Its purpose is not as secret as its methods it is piling up an alibi for the white race as it is typified here, a record to back up the comfortable theory that the Negroes started the trouble willfully and are responsible for all the ghastly consequences. Five white men and ten Negroes were fined $200 today on charges of carrying concealed weapons. Unable to pay the fines, they were locked up in the County jail." East St. Louis has not been entirely idle in the effort to convince the public that there is a desire to punish the criminals. Since this horrible thing took place, the Grand Jury of St. Clair county has brought indictments against 105 persons. It reported in the daily papers as follows: Cornelius Hickey, lieutenant of police of East St. Louis, who was acting as chief the night of the massacre, is held on a charge of conspiracy. Richard Brockway, an investigator for the Belleville and East St. Louis railroad, is indicted for conspiracy, riot and assault to kill. Clark C. Fancher, known as "Tobe" Fancher, former policeman of East St. Louis, is held for assault with intent to kill. The indictment against him recites that he deliberately drew his revolver and fired four shots at a helpless Negro who was severely wounded and was thought to have only a few hours to live. The Negro is convalescing. One woman is indicted for assaulted with intent to kill. Her name is withheld for the present. The indictment charges that one of her favorite stunts that terrible night was stamping the heels of her French slippers in the faces of prostrate Negroes. Several of those indicted are included in many different indictments, a few of the ringleaders, it is understood, being held for nearly all the crimes alleged to have been committed during the riots. One man is held for burning with the purpose to defraud, and out of this attempt to collect fire insurance he also is caught for arson. Summed up, the work of the Grand Jury follows: Nine indictments for conspiracy naming thirty-three persons. Eleven indictments for conspiracy, naming sixty-four persons. Five indictments for arson, naming twenty-seven persons. Thirteen indictments for rioting, naming sixty-nine persons. Twenty-six indictments for assault to murder, naming sixty-three persons. One indictment for malicious mischief, naming four persons. Two indictments for burglary, naming four persons. One indictment for burning for purpose of defrauding, naming one person. One man has also been convicted and sentenced to five years imprisonment and it is asserted that all who are indicted will be punished. Mayor Mollman has also been indicted on two counts. The test will come when these men are put on trial. But up to date no punishment has been meted out to the militia who are responsible for the mob because they did not quell it. Carlos Hurd's account states that he found a corporal's guard of them who had just come from where the firemen were working and he told them of the lynching of the Negro. "I do not know that they could have done anything, but I do know they did not try. Most of the men in uniform were frankly fraternizing with the men in the street." Thursday, July 5th, the following editorial appeared in the Post-Dispatch of St. Louis. Gov. Lowden need not go far to find evidence of the utter failure of the major part of the forces of the Illinois National Guard to do their duty in stopping wholesale murder and arson in East St. Louis last Monday. Carlos Hurd of the Post-Dispatch staff, who was an eyewitness of the atrocities on the East Side, told a plain circumstantial story of the outrages he witnessed. The assaults and murders were cold-blooded, deliberate and incredibly brutal. They were not the mob infuriated against particular offenders. They were the work of groups of men and women who sought out and burned out the Negroes and then shot, beat, kicked and hanged them. The work was done in a spirit of flippant, relentless barbarism. Mr. Hurd described it as a man-hunt. Others who corroborated this testimony called it rabbit-hunting and rat-catching. Nothing like it in unmitigated cruelty has occurred before on American soil. It can be likened only to the fiendish atrocities of Turks in Armenia or the pogroms against the Jews incited by the Russian Black Hundred, in which helpless Jews were smoked or dragged from their homes to be beaten, outraged or murdered on the streets. The black skin, without regard to age, sex or innocence, was the mark for slaughter. All the impartial witnesses agree that the police were either indifferent or encouraged the barbarities, and that the major part of the National Guard was indifferent or inactive. No organized effort was made to protect the Negroes or disperse the murdering groups. The lack of frenzy and of a large infuriated mob made the task easy. Ten determined officers could have prevented most of the outrages. One hundred men acting with authority and vigor might have prevented any outrage. The stain cannot be wiped from the record of Illinois, but the State may be vindicated by punishment of the officers responsible for the conduct of the guardsmen; and by the vigorous prosecution of the murder leaders. East St. Louisans have a duty to perform in looking into the conduct of their own city government which permitted the trouble to culminate in these atrocities. They should find out the cause of the fatal weakness which encouraged the race riots and paralyzed the police while innocent men, women and children were shot, burned and tortured. The future of the city which in point of growth and prosperity is a marvel, should prompt thorough action by law-abiding citizens.

Hails is falling in Westbury, where the power is out for hundreds of customers, according to CenterPoint's outage tracker. About 76,000 Houston homes are without power as of 4 p.m.
Also affected are areas around the Beltway in southwest Houston. Katy has also reported hail. Power is out in some parts of the Heights, according to a Down House tweet.
The storm is reportedly moving pretty fast, so things should clear up with a good weekend on tap.
Until then, the afternoon commute, or picking up your kids at school, might be more interesting than usual.

If machado goes for 8-10 its about the same difference but you get a proven player in Hanley. Sorry, I am not trying to hijack this thread, just trying to learn the rationale here. Seems like Hanram is a great price at 26. At least for this year.I agree with the other 3 but I would definitely keep Ramirez over machado in this spot.Edit - actually I see now, if he can keep Machado for the next three years without the price going up and Hanley will go up five dollars a year, then it wouldnt make sense to keep Hanley. I got it now.Yes, I agree - Sale, Craig, Machado and Stanton

Relax: China's First Aircraft Carrier is a Piece of Junk
Carrier Census
Shi Lang will sail into a Pacific Ocean teeming with carriers. First, there are the American carriers: five nuclear-powered supercarriers home-ported in California, Washington and Japan, plus six assault ships in California and Japan. Between them, the American carriers displace no less than 700,000 tons and can carry 600 aircraft. "Our Navy can carry twice as many aircraft at sea as all the rest of the world combined," outgoing U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates pointed out last year.
(In comparison, the Chinese flattop displaces just 60,000 tons and carries no more than 40 planes and choppers.)
Japan's got two 18,000-ton assault ships, plus another on the way. Today they carry just a few helicopters, but it's possible the ships will eventually embark vertical-landing F-35B stealth fighters. The same applies to South Korea's four planned 14,000-ton carriers and the two 30,000-ton Australian flattops still under construction.
Thailand's 12,000-ton Chari Naruebet is an outlier: too small for more than a handful of aircraft, but nevertheless capable of carrying the country's ancient, vertical-landing Harrier jets.
India and Russia both operate full-fledged carriers with jet fighters aboard. Russia's Admiral Kuznetsov is actually Shi Lang's older sister. Her dozen Su-33 fighters are just rustier versions of the Chinese J-15. Lately, Kuznetsov has spent most of her time in the Mediterranean. India's 30,000-ton Viraat and her 30 Harriers and choppers tend to stick to the Indian Ocean.
Of the 22 flattops already plying the Pacific or coming soon, none belongs to a country that China can consider a close ally. Today it's not uncommon to see American carriers sailing in mixed formations with carriers from Japan, South Korea, Thailand and India. Beijing can only dream of assembling that kind of international sea power, with or without Shi Lang.

One gift Santa Claus brought for me this Christmas was the Yankees' World Series DVD collection. I must have been a pretty good boy this year.
The eight-disc set includes all six World Series games, as well as ALCS Game 6. I don't know if I'm quite ready to re-watch Game 1 of the World Series yet, but I did pop in ALCS Game 6 and gave that monumental win a second viewing two months later.
One thought I came away with: The Yankees were very bad on offense in that game. With so much riding on the line, and a possible meeting with John Lackey in Game 7 looming, the Yankees just couldn't get it done with the bats. They left five men on in the first two innings and grounded into like 80 double plays. Their third run came on a bases-loaded walk to Alex Rodriguez that actually should have been Strike 2, and in their game-clinching, two-run, eighth-inning rally they didn't get a single base hit, scoring on a four-pitch walk, two errors and a sac fly.
I realize most of you will remember all this. It's just so much more stark watching it a second time. I now feel like they probably would have lost had Johnny Damon not come through with his big two-run single that put the Yankees up 2-1. If Damon really is done as a Yankee, he sure went out strong in the postseason. Even Mariano Rivera was fallible, giving up a run in the eighth inning, and kind of being lucky that's all he gave up.
We all knew it at the time, but there is no doubt the hero of that game was Andy Pettitte, who surrendered just one run over 6 1/3 to give his struggling teammates a chance. On second viewing, I'm convinced this game ranks up there with his greatest moments as a Yankee.
As for the DVD itself, it's very good. You don't miss any plays and they even include the Buck-McCarver intros and postgame comments. One minor complaint would be some choppy editing between plays. Dead time between plays is often chopped out, and as a result Buck and McCarver have a thought joined mid-sentence. Not often enough to be a big problem, however.

Scheduling to Minimize Average Completion Time Revisited: Deterministic On-Line Algorithms
- Nicole Megow,
- Andreas S. Schulz
- … show all 2 hide
We consider the scheduling problem of minimizing the average weighted completion time on identical parallel machines when jobs are arriving over time. For both the preemptive and the nonpreemptive setting, we show that straightforward extensions of Smith's ratio rule yield smaller competitive ratios compared to the previously best-known deterministic on-line algorithms, which are (4+ε)-competitive in either case. Our preemptive algorithm is 2-competitive, which actually meets the competitive ratio of the currently best randomized on-line algorithm for this scenario. Our nonpreemptive algorithm has a competitive ratio of 3.28. Both results are characterized by a surprisingly simple analysis; moreover, the preemptive algorithm also works in the less clairvoyant environment in which only the ratio of weight to processing time of a job becomes known at its release date, but neither its actual weight nor its processing time. In the corresponding nonpreemptive situation, every on-line algorithm has an unbounded competitive ratio.

Wal-Mart Black Friday sales for 2009: The story behind the leak
(Read article summary)With the release of Wal-Mart's Black Friday Sales for 2009 ad, the retail giant attempts to walk a fine line between using and being hurt by the Internet.
Updated 11:15 a.m. EST with comment from Wal-Mart.
Wal-Mart's Black Friday sales for 2009 are now alive in full color on the Internet. From door-buster TVs to a $198 laptop to a $59 GPS system, the retail titan's Black Friday plans have been laid bare at last.
Where just this past weekend Wal-Mart was brandishing its brace of lawyers at the leak of several movie and videogame prices, Wednesday it OK'd the release of its entire clutch of Black Friday secrets ahead of its own Nov. 23 release date.
Why the change of heart? The move speaks volumes about a company trying to harness the Internet's viral power while not tipping its hand too soon.
Over the weekend of Nov. 15, a user on a forum hosted by the website DVDTalk.com posted Black Friday prices for several DVDs, Blu-Rays, and videogames.
Since Wal-Mart had already sent letters this summer warning websites like DVDTalk and others not to publish its Black Friday deals early, what happened next came as no surprise. The company's lawyers quickly contacted the site's owners, Internet Brands Inc., and demanded that the post be removed. DVDTalk took the item down.
"We try to be good corporate citizens. While we didn't editorially post it, we respect everyone in the retail space," says DVDTalk director Brent Conver.
Then on Tuesday, Wal-Mart confirmed the price of six Black Friday items to CNN. After a user e-mailed him a high-quality copy of Wal-Mart's Black Friday circular, BlackFriday.info founder Jon Vincent called the company to negotiate its wider release and was allowed to publish the entire flyer Wednesday.

my mother is leaving for Japan tomorrow, and coming back on my last day of school. I am freaking the fuck out. We're really close, and she keeps order in the house. But with her gone.. my dad is essentially completely incapable of taking care of himself, let alone us. So for the next two weeks, I'll be doing the laundry, the dishes, cooking the meals, packing my sisters' lunches at 5 in the morning, putting them to bed, making sure they shower, keeping the house semi-clean, remembering what days my sisters need to go places, taking care of our dog..
it's going to be so lonely.
i feel like crying.
i don't really have much else going on in my life.
i'm very excited for Iowa and for writing.
i talked to Jake's brother for a couple hours the other night. It was really good. Weirdly, I think I'm starting to sort of ..like.. him? I dont know. I don't really want to think about it.
And as for Jake himself, I haven't talked to him for at least four days. It's funny, how easily he's ejected me out of his life. Sad, mostly.
I despise so many of my friends, its getting a bit ridiculous.
I don't want to get back into a relationship or fall in love with anyone for a really long time. I'm not ready, yet, to do that again. It's too much.
Fuck school
no freaking mean it! pm me!

Panty & Stocking's demon sis Scanty by ALTER shows upAll the way back in March, ALTER opened pre-orders for Kneesocks from the rather unique title Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt. However, one release that seems to have gone by forever without a look other than just an announcement has been Kneesocks' sister Scanty. For those who have been waiting to see the other half, the wait is over with photos from galaxxxy SHIBUYA109 showing off this upcoming figure. So far, it's hard to judge this 1/8-scale figure based on the quality of the photos. She's red, she got the spiky hair (and other spikes for that matter), a nice physique, and a face that's surely waiting to bring you some suffering. Currently Scanty is showing a broad 2013 release date but once we get more details and definitely a better gallery, we'll keep you posted. Or do you not care and you're already buying her as soon as the pre-order goes up? Comments not appearing? Anti-virus apps like Avast or some browser extensions can cause this. Easy fix: Add [*].disqus.com to your software's white list. Tada! Happy comments time again.

The 2013 NAMM Show was another successful one for Vater! At the show, the New 5A Stretch, 7A Stretch, Whip Brush and Splashstick Rock were all officially introduced. The booth was packed all 4 days of the show with people coming by to check out the entire Vater Product line, picking up a copy the new 2013 catalog and checking out the new stick offerings. TONS of Vater Artists came by to show their love and support and to fill us in on what they have coming up in the new year. Our after show adventures were filled with hanging with friends and Vater Artists and catching some of the live performances that included some by Vater Artists Jen Lowe (who fronted her own band) Chris Dave and Drumheadz at the Sabain Live Party and much more.

Expectations for Online Students
As with traditional classroom courses, the outline and structure of a course can vary widely. And, as with any other course, each individual instructor has a personal style and way of working with students that is unique. However, here are some basic things to consider before enrolling in an online course, or as you prepare for it to begin:
- You must have basic computer skills and knowledge of basic computer operations. Before starting this class, you should know how to use email, attach files to an email, download documents, use a word processing program, locate information online with a browser, and use Blackboard features (which can be learned quickly).
- You must have access to a computer and the Internet twice per week (at a minimum).
- You must be able to navigate Blackboard. You can attend an orientation on the Columbia campus. Go to the Blackboard Support site for more information.
- Confirm your registration in the course through VIP.
- Login to your online courses the first day of class to ensure you have access.
- Use your student email account. This is the email address used by default in Blackboard, and will allow you the easiest way to communicate with your instructor.
- Notify your instructor or Blackboard at firstname.lastname@example.com or 803-777-6015 if you experience any technical difficulty.
- Purchase books and software (if needed) early. Classes start discussing material the first day of the course. It is very easy to fall behind if you don't have your text or other materials. You may have assignments due at the end of the first week that require texts or other materials.
- Keep up with work in the class. Students who fall behind are less likely to complete a course successfully. If something happens that is going to cause you to fall behind, contact your instructor immediately.
- Read and understand the course policies and procedures in the course syllabus. If you have questions about anything, ask your instructor.
Expectations for Attendance
Although online courses don't require students to attend class at specific time or place, students are still required to "attend" class. For an online course, this means you must:
- Login to the Blackboard course the first day of class.
- Email the instructor as prompted to confirm registration.
- Login to your course each week of class (at a minimum).
- Complete the course requirements as stated in the course syllabus, including participating in class discussions and communicating with your instructor and other students.
Failure to attend or to participate in a class does not withdraw you from the course. You are responsible for all tuition and fees unless you properly withdraw. Failure to withdraw properly from any course will also result in academic penalties as described in the University Bulletin, Registration Policies section, at http://bulletin.sc.edu/content.php?catoid=10&navoid=1780

Softball: Benet's Maeve McGuire's tireless work ethic has made her Player of the Year
Maeve McGuire (18) of Benet Academy belts a double over the Downers Grove South center fielder's head. | Jon Cunningham~For Sun-Times MediaUpdated: June 7, 2012 7:24PM
The McGuire Sisters — Christine, Phyllis and Dorothy — were a popular singing trio from the 1950's.
In the modern day era of Illinois softball, the McGuire sisters – Nora, Maeve and Rowan – are a trio of talented players, two of which are currently playing for two of the better teams in the state. Sophomore Rowan is an outfielder at Downers Grove North, while junior Maeve is an outfielder at Benet. Nora graduated from Benet in 2011.
Rowan put up impressive numbers this spring, batting .385 with 42 hits, including 11 doubles. Maeve put up even more impressive numbers that were good enough for her to be named the 2012 Sun-Times Player of the Year.
The junior lefty-leadoff hitter batted .528 with 65 hits, including 16 home runs, 24 doubles to go with 48 RBI and 69 runs scored. She was the spark plug for what was easily the best offensive team in the area.
She had 24 multi-hit games, including two four hit games and eight three hit games. She homered twice in two games – against Oswego East on April 23, and York on March 27. She hit safely in 34 of the 37 games, including a 20-game hitting streak. She had two or more RBI in 15 games, including five against Glenbard East, and scored two or more runs in 24 games.
"Maeve works hard for everything she gets," Benet coach Jerry Schilf said. "She didn't originally make it into Benet her freshmen year, but she wanted to come to school here. She took extra classes during the summer before her freshmen year. She started at Downers Grove North and continued to work hard and take extra classes to prepare herself for Benet. She was admitted to Benet after the first semester of her freshmen year and is now an honor student."
Maeve garnered an interest in softball in first grade when her older sister Nora, who played at Benet from 2008 to 2011, joined an in-house softball league called the D.O.L.L.S. She begged her parents to play and they eventually gave in.
"I did everything Nora did," said Maeve, who will be Georgia-bound after one more season to add to her amazing career totals. "The first rec team I was on was with (pitcher) Elaine Heflin from Downers Grove North. In 4th grade Nora and I wanted to play travel softball, so we both made it on the Downers Grove Rebels, and later my little sister Rowan did too."
But it was during 14-U when Maeve started to develop her classic work ethic which has become legend to her coaches and teammates. She worked harder than she ever did and it paid off the following summer during the travel season.
According to Schilf, she always has to do extra during practice and challenge herself. Like hitting the weighted balls or launching flip drills well over the outfield fence.
"As part of our hitting drills we generally hit front toss from our left field corner towards the first base line which is 225 feet away," Schilf said. "On the other side of the fence is a grassy area, a street, and then the tennis courts that are surrounded by an eight foot fence. It takes a ball hit about 275 feet to clear the tennis court fence and she does it regularly.
"Late in the season an assistant coach from the University of Michigan had come to practice to watch a couple of our players. She knew about Maeve and knew she had already committed to Georgia. You could see her jaw drop as Maeve hit ball after ball into the tennis court as the tennis players scampered for cover."
Her hard-hitting teammates are pretty amazed by her talent and her constant positive demeanor.
"She is a great teammate that cares about the other 12 girls on the team," catcher Kendall Duffy said. "She is one of the most talented players I have played with and I know one day I will be seeing her play on TV and I can say she was once my teammate."
"Maeve is funny and tries to make people laugh in practice and on the bus rides," third-baseman Julianne Rurka said.
"Maeve is positive all game and has a smile on her face while playing," shortstop Marissa Panko said. "It's easy to see she is having fun while she is out on the field. She's a great hitter and is also speedy on the base paths. She picks others up when they are down, and she can always be counted on for a funny comment."

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey 2012
This review reportedly contains spoilers. I can handle the truth.
The Fall 2006
This movie is so visually striking. It begins slowly (after the introduction, which is beautiful), but then it sucks you into the story and the moment you start noticing parallels between the reality and the fantasy you become fully invested.
The relationship between Roy and Alexandria is sweetly macabre. It's rare you see a young man and girl-child interaction on screen, and this is one of the most interesting portrayals of that relationship I've ever seen. I also love the whole homage to 1920s slapstick films (the word "fall" takes on many meanings in this film, physically and metaphorically).
Popular reviews
The Dark Knight Rises 2012
This film is on the same wavelength as The Dark Knight but I think it had more 'holy shit!' moments. I loved the scene between Bane and Batman in the sewers (I am told it's a famous scene in the comics) . The dialogue was superb.
What made this movie was the villain. Tom Hardy as Bane really impressed me. I think the Joker is a more interesting villain but Bane doesn't fall too far behind.

I adore films that stay in one location and can imagine it's difficult to pull off (but when pulled off well, like 12 Angry Men, it can be magnificent). One location means there is more focus on the characters and you really get to see who is a good actor and who isn't. I thought everyone in this movie was great (especially John C. Reilly) and conveyed their characters believably. The storyline is simple, but it's a joy to watch the two couples' differing views on parenting and marriage.

Betty & Veronica Spectacular #75
- Posted by Johanna on September 21, 2006 at 9:00 pm
- Category: Archie Comics
When magazines run sponsored sections trying to sell the reader products while appearing to be content, they prominently label them as advertisements. I was surprised I didn't see such a disclaimer on this Archie comic, since it's full of ads and product placements.
Dan Parent writes and draws the story, in which Ginger is having trouble coming up with ideas for her latest fashion show. It's Betty and Veronica to the rescue — by fighting, they give Ginger her theme.
"Are you a Betty or a Veronica?" is her clever idea, which is just coincidentally the tagline this comic has been running for months. It's also the basis of new licensed clothing lines, helpfully footnoted within the panels.
Various Riverdale girls walk down a runway wearing pictures of Betty and Veronica on their t-shirts, skirts, and bags. It's especially stupid-looking with someone wears more than one piece at a time — there's nothing but grinning heads staring at the viewer. Then the Veronicas, the insipid girl band, appear.
It's unfortunate, given the importance of looks to this story, that the art is so slapdash. At times, the girls resemble stick figures with Texas-girl hair. Details and anatomy change from panel to panel.
Soon the boys are wearing their own logos as well, with licensed sneakers drawn into the corner of a panel to get more ads in. It looks as though the boys are about to be stomped on the head, which would be a wonderful ending, but instead, the story just stops.
After two filler pages of ipod skins (rectangles with random designs), there's a forgettable story where Betty and Veronica go shopping while camping, thanks to the wonders of the internet. Come to think of it, it's very appropriate, given the emphasis on buying throughout the issue.

RoboForm (formerly "AI RoboForm") is a password management and web form filling program that automates password entering and form filling that was developed by Siber Systems, Inc. It is available for many web browsers, including Internet Explorer (and other Trident-based browsers), Firefox, Opera, Safari and Google Chrome. It also has support for mobile devices such as iOS, Android and Windows Phone.[2] RoboForm was named PC Magazine Editor's Choice, and CNET Download.com's Software of the Year.[citation needed]
One can buy a subscription to Roboform Everywhere which puts the user's login and password information in the cloud and allows secure access to them from any computer or mobile device.
One of Roboform's functions is to store passwords and login info. It uses a "passcard" system in which users can save user name, passwords, and website information into a card that is protected by a master password, which becomes the only password that the user must remember. The storing of the website information protects against phishing attacks since users cannot fill out their info on a fake website.
Users can also have "Identities" that store personal and sensitive financial information such as credit cards, driver's license info, and Social Security numbers, that can filled out automatically on command.
Roboform can also generate random passwords of any length and any combination to auto-fill out and save to a passcard.
Roboform for desktop permits the user only one license to install one system.
RoboForm Everywhere is an annual subscription service that offers users access to multiple copies of RoboForm 7 for all of their computers and mobile devices for a single license fee.
Roboform2Go is an portable version of the program for use in USB flash drives. The program will be loaded when the user inserts the flash drive into a Windows computer and unloaded when the stick is removed. Siber Systems initially had support for the U3 portable system but dropped it when U3 was no longer supported.
Upgrade policy[edit]
When Siber Systems first released Roboform, they had lifetime free upgrades. In 2004, they released a Roboform Pro version and had limitations on the free version. In December 2010, they changed the policy for their new Roboform 7 version and purged from their website all mention of their previously-published free upgrades policy. See also Free Version Upgrades. Siber Systems also removed the option to export the user data with the full URL, making it harder to export to a number of competing password managers. They began offering two versions, a desktop version licensed for one computer only and the aforementioned Roboform Everywhere for every computer which is a yearly subscription fee.[3] The functionality of the previous Roboform version 6 will gradually cease as Roboform browser plug-ins are "frozen": not updated to support new browser versions.
Following this controversy, Roboform's accreditation with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) Accreditation Standards was revoked on June 30, 2011 due to a failure to respond to and resolve complaints.[1]

LIFE is one long voyage of discovery, as Captain James Cook must have said, and when I embarked upon an article about Whitby for this month's Living magazine, I had no idea what fascinating trivial nonsense would sail my way.
For example, the crow's nest was invented in 1807 by Captain William Scoresby, Whitby's greatest whaler. Scoresby designed a canvascovered frame with a hatch underneath for the look-out to climb through and stand at the top of the tallest mast with the telescope clamped to his eye, scanning the seas for whales.
But why was it called "the crow's nest"?
If you said because crows nest at the top of the tallest trees, you would be as wrong as Alan Davies on QI.
It is because the crow is a land-loving sort of bird which is believed to fly in a dead straight line. Sailors usually took a crow or two with them on a voyage. They kept them in baskets, and once Scoresby had invented his look-out post, the crows lived up there with the look-out at the top of the tallest mast. Over time, where the crows lived was called "the crow's nest".
When the weather closed in causing the sailors to lose their bearings, the look-out would release a crow. It would then make a beeline for land followed by a boat-load of lost sailors. As the crow flies straight, they'd be ashore in a jiffy.
Whaling was the second source of Whitby's prosperity. The first source was urine.
Whitby had been just a little fishing port too far from anywhere until Sir Thomas Challoner visited Italy in the 16th Century. He spotted the Pope's people making alum out of a rock similar to the shale of the North Yorkshire coast.
Alum was used to fix colour into woollen cloths. It was vital for anyone who wanted their clothes to look something more than sheep-coloured.
The Pope's alum-making technique was to roast the rock for a year, drench it with stale urine and then warm the mixture back up until enough liquid had evaporated to allow a fresh chicken's egg to float to the surface.
What an ingenious fellow the Pope must have been to have created such a technique!
Sir Thomas secretly spirited a couple of the Pope's men back to Yorkshire – hidden in barrels – and set them to work. When His Holiness found out, he was so pis…, sorry, hacked off that he excommunicated Sir Thomas.
Whitby grew thirsty for urine. It's own people couldn't pass enough.
From London to Newcastle, buckets were placed on street corners and men were encouraged to widdle into them. A man with a horse and cart came round and decanted the buckets into barrels. The barrels were shipped to Whitby.
In the last two months of 1612 alone, Whitby's alum works consumed 29,000 gallons of urine – 16,000 of it "country urine" and 13,000 "London urine".
Naturally enough, sailors plying the urine trade were embarrassed by their cargo.
"What you got in those barrels?" other sailors would mockingly shout as they set sail.
"Beer and wine," replied the Whitby-bound sailors, plausibly.
"Never," shouted the teasers. "You're taking the piss."
And so the English language gained a new phrase. Possibly.

To help you with SOME of the details...
Dear Krokko:
The PIPE here again - before I have to get back to helping out around the house over here in New England, I thought I WOULD send you a pair of scans I'd mentioned previously that I've archived concerning the "Tiggie". First, I've attached a "fuselage sketchpage" scan showing a LOT of the smaller details around and on the fuselage and wing panels...and the gray-background "key" or "legend" for its numbered items is also included. Note: the "AMSketch" file had to be sent as a PDF, or Adobe Reader file to keep its filesize to a "downloadable" level here at RCGroups...if you've got the freely (no cost) downloadable Adobe Reader software already on your PC, you'll be all set to see it. Just hoping those two scans are of some help...remember, I DO have both the Aeromodeller and Karlstrom scans of those two sets of Tiggie scale drawings if needed! Yours Sincerely, The PIPE....!!

progress again - not without challenges......
Manage to mount the wings by myself today. Had to install a blind nut in order to be able to fix the stabilizer.
I think the screw and nut will stay there later on. I realize that I need to cover the tailplane + fin and back of the fuse and mount them properly before installing the elevator wires. Otherwise it's impossible to reach to the servo and servoarm for installation. Checked the incidence as close to the root as possible: upper wing +1, lower wing +3, stab = 0. I couldn't find any guidance in the instructions on this, maybe I missed something?? I think I'll let the Tiger rest over the weekend. Oracover, 1 role 10lpm Cub-Yellow arriving next week!!

I think we can forget about my Tiger becoming an exact scale model! I'll do my best to get her flying next year, if she becomes a favorite to fly I could contemplate building another one, but not a Flair kit, thats for sure. There is a couple of interesting kits from Toni Clark in Germany that could be the next, if there is a next one!! rgds/KajS |
