La Velle E. Neal III has covered baseball for the Star Tribune since 1998 (the post-Knoblauch era). Born and raised in Chicago, he grew up following the White Sox and hating the Cubs. He attended both the University of Illinois and Illinois-Chicago and began his baseball writing career at the Kansas City Star. He can be heard occasionally on KFAN radio, lending his great baseball mind to Paul Allen and other hosts. Mark Rosen borrows him occasionally for WCCO-TV.
Phil Miller covered three seasons of Twins baseball, but that was at a different ballpark for a different newspaper. Now Miller returns to the baseball beat after joining the Star Tribune as the Gopher football writer in 2010, and he won't miss the dingy dome for a minute. In addition to the Twins and Gophers, Miller covered the Utah Jazz and the NBA for six years at The Salt Lake Tribune.
Alex Wimmers, a righthander from Ohio State, was selected by the Twins with the 21st overall pick of Monday's draft.
Wimmers went 9-0 with a 1.60 ERA for the Buckeyes this season. In 73 innings, he struck out 86 and walked 23, but scouting reports describe him as a strike-thrower with good pitching acumen. His fastball touches the low 90's.
Joe McIlvaine, the Twins special assignment scout, told MLBTV that Wimmers changes speeds very well.
``His change up was as good as any major leaguer,'' McIlvaine said. ``He has a fastball that tails on the inside part of the plate or cuts on the outside part of the plate.''
More on Wimmers soon...
Update: Low 90's? Changeup guy? Sounds like this guy's ceiling would be Brad Radke.
Here's what Baseball America's Jim Callis tweeted moments after the pick:
Callis: Wimmers fits Twins mold, polished pitcher. Don't underrate his stuff. He's not close to a finesse guy.
And another: ESPN writes in this scouting report that Wimmers is the closest thing to Mike Leake in this year's draft.
Late night update: Here's audio AND A VIDEO file of Wimmer, courtesy of the Twins Baseball Communication department.

Thanks Sedona. What channel is America's Most Wanted on and is it repeated?
They covered the Peterson story just now and have asked for the help of the public, showing both vehicles (Drew's and Stacey's) wanting to know if anyone saw them on the 28th or around about. The story didn't appear that they believe Stacey ran off for one second. It sounds like they are trying to find more evidence for murder.
If you are the praying kind, say a pray somebody saw something.
Thanks Sedona. What channel is America's Most Wanted on and is it repeated?
^ Links up on what they covered tonight.
Leila, it will be on at 9:00 pm our time, on regualar Broadcast, not cable
Missing Special Edition Viewers must help authorities discover what happened to missing people, including 23-year-old Stacy Peterson of Illinois.

Thanks Sedona and TomsGirl..............I'll be watching. And yes, lets hope and pray someone saw something and has called LE.
And in another twist in the case: Drew Peterson's friend Ric Mims tells AMW correspondent Jon Leiberman that when Drew Peterson's third wife, Kathleen Savio, was found dead in a bathtub in 2004, Drew told cops he had an alibi: his fourth wife. Ric says, "He mentioned to me that he was with the kids and Stacy was his alibi. I told him 'it sucks to be you now, because Stacy is gone and they are re-opening the case.'"
This little ditty Ric Mims told was quite revealing, even moreso than the fact that Drew Peterson's alibi is missing without a trace.
If everybody (Bolingbrook cops, Coroner, etc), back in 2004 all thought that Kathleen Savio's death was considered an *accident* as was put on her death certificate, then why would Drew Peterson even need an alibi or even have to tell the cops he had an alibi?
Sounds like somebody was suspicious back then.
I respectfully ask not to be called "candy" or "rose" as my screen name is ACandyRose (aka ACR)

All the media articles I have seen indicates that Drew P was the "watch commander" on the day that Kathleen was found. It looks like Kathleen may have been dead at least 24-36 hrs before she was found. Now the question is, was Drew P working the day before also? If so, then Stacy couldn't be his alibi at least not all day.
Just when I think that I have seen the most depraved things a human can do to another human, somebody posts a new story...........
Why is it that when a custodial parent fails to provide for a child it is called neglect and is a criminal matter. But when a non custodial parent fails to provide it is called failure to support and is a civil matter?

Wonder what the autopsy showed as estimated time of death for Kathleen Savio ?, and IF it would have been before DP reported for duty at the PD?

Clemson Tigers (9-9)
@Miami Hurricanes (10-6)
Wednesday, January 18
BankUnited Center
Attendance: 4,420
Miami, FL (Sports Network) - Malcolm Grant led five Hurricanes in double figures with 16 points as Miami-Florida held off a late Tiger comeback to defeat Clemson 76-73 in ACC action at the BankUnited Center.
Kenny Kadji tallied 14 points on 5-of-8 shooting for Miami (10-6, 1-2 ACC). Trey McKinney Jones added 12 points and six rebounds while Durand Scott and DeQuan Jones each finished with 10 point.
For Clemson (9-9, 1-3), Tanner Smith lead all scorers with 23 points on 8- of-13 shooting, his second 20-point performance of the season. K.J. McDaniels contributed 11 points and Catalin Baciu chipped in 10.
Miami took a 42-39 lead into halftime thanks in part to its 57.1 percent shooting in the frame. The Hurricane's led by as many as 11 in the half, but the Tigers were able to keep it close by knocking down six three-pointers and hitting 48.1 percent of their shots.
After Miami extended its lead in the opening minutes of the second half, Clemson came storming back and held a 64-60 lead with 7:03 remaining. Miami answered, going on a 14-2 run to take a 74-66 lead with 1:31 left. The Tigers wouldn't quit though, ripping off seven straight points, capped off by a Milton Jennings layup with five seconds remaining to cut the deficit to 74-73. After Miami hit a pair of free-throws, Clemson couldn't prevail in the final seconds and the Hurricane's hung on for the 76-73 win. The Hurricane's helped themselves at the line all night, connecting on 13-of-14 opportunities from the charity stripe.
The win snaps a two-game slide for Miami while the loss is the third straight for Clemson.

I just got a job and will start on Tuesday. Yay!! So I found a good daycare for Joey. Thing is they are charging me a full week (5 days) when they are only open four days that week. And I have to pay them and someone else to care for my son. Is that the way it is? Something about holding a full-time spot. Is that normal? Anyone else have to do this?
daycare closed on mlk day
Posted 01/17/2013
Normal for our daycare too. We get five unpaid days a year if we give two weeks notice. We pay full week rate even with holidays, if lo is sick, etc.
Working, Lupus Fighting Momma to silent refluxer Audrey (06/16/12) and refluxer Gillian (03/16/14)
Posted 01/17/2013
wow! This makes me feel so blessed! My daycare charges by the day and if I pick him up after only 4 hrs I pay for half day only. We don't pay for any days they are closed. Their only requirement is he has to go 2 days out of the week. But then this is a pretty big daycare, lots of employees. I guess 1 kid being gone doesn't affect their bottom line.

You want your daycare providers to have vacations, they need time off
I ate too much candle salad
Posted 01/17/2013
Totally normal. Licensed daycare providers are working citizens, and they are alotted a certain number of days of paid vacation a year, just like we get PTO and paid vacation at our jobs. It stinks to have to pay for 2 providers, but that's the way it works. I just used daycare as a drop in, because it was very up in the air when I worked and at what times.

U.S. Route 701 (US 701) is a spur of US 1 in the U.S. states of South Carolina and North Carolina. The U.S. Highway runs 171.45 miles (275.92 km) from US 17 and US 17 Alternate in Georgetown, South Carolina north to US 301, North Carolina Highway 96 (NC 96), and Interstate 95 (I-95) near Four Oaks, North Carolina. US 701 serves the Pee Dee region of South Carolina and the southern and central portions of Eastern North Carolina. The highway connects Georgetown and Conway in South Carolina with the North Carolina cities of Whiteville, Elizabethtown, Clinton, and a short distance north of its terminus, Smithfield. US 701 has four business routes in North Carolina, including those through Tabor City, Whiteville, Clarkton, and Clinton.
Route description[edit]
US 701 has a length of 61.55 miles (99.06 km) in South Carolina and spans 109.90 miles (176.87 km) in North Carolina.[1][2] The U.S. Highway is a part of the National Highway System for one short stretches during its concurrency with NC 24 in Clinton.[3]
South Carolina[edit]
US 701 begins at an intersection with US 17 and US 17 Alternate, which has its northern terminus, in the city of Georgetown. US 17 follows Fraser Street south and Church Street east from the intersection; US 17 Alternate follows Exchange Street west toward Highmarket Street, on which US 521 also runs and has its southern terminus at US 17 one block to the south. US 701 heads north as a four-lane road with center turn lane along Fraser Street. Shortly after leaving the city, the highway meets the southern end of SC 51 (Browns Ferry Road) and reduces to two lanes. US 701 passes the entrances to several former plantations, including Mansfield Plantation, before crossing the Black River at the hamlet of Campfield. The highway passes along the eastern edge of the Carvers Bay Preserve, which protects the namesake swamp area and Carolina Bay. US 701 passes through Plantersville and meets the eastern end of SC 261 (Pleasant Hill Drive) at Yauhannah before crossing the Georgetown–Horry county line at the Pee Dee River.[4][5]
US 701 passes by the villages of Bucksport, Bucksville—the site of Hebron Church and Buck's Upper Mill Farm— and Toddville as the highway roughly parallels the Waccamaw River north to Conway. On entering the city limits, the U.S. Highway follows 4th Avenue and expands to a four-lane road with center turn lane. US 701 meets US 501 (Church Street), US 378 (Wright Boulevard), and SC 905 (4th Avenue) at a triangular junction southwest of downtown. US 701 has ramps to and from southbound US 501 just before passing under the highway; southbound US 701 uses the exit ramp from US 501 while northbound US 701 continues to its intersection with US 378. SC 905 begins and heads into the Conway Downtown Historic District while US 701 makes a sharp turn west to join US 378 for a short concurrency to the latter highway's junction with US 501, where northbound US 701 joins the southbound direction and US 501 on Church Street.[4][5]
US 701 and US 501 head north on Church Street, a four-lane road with center turn lane, to 16th Avenue, a four-lane street onto which US 701 turns east and runs concurrently with US 501 Business. The concurrency ends at Main Street, where the business route turns south onto Main Street toward downtown and US 701 turns north onto the street, which expands from two to four lanes north of the intersection, to head out of the city. The U.S. Highway parallels the Waccamaw Coast Line Railroad north through the village of Homewood, where the highway meets the eastern end of SC 319 and reduces to two lanes, then gradually splits away from the railroad on its way to a partial cloverleaf interchange with SC 22 (Veterans Highway). At its intersection with SC 410 (Green Sea Road), US 701 veers northeast, has an oblique grade crossing of the railroad, and parallels the rail line to the city of Loris. The U.S. Highway passes through Loris as Broad Street, which intersects SC 9 Business (Main Street). US 701 leaves Loris and parallels the railroad north through a partial cloverleaf interchange with SC 9 to just south of the South Carolina–North Carolina state line.[4][5]
North Carolina[edit]
Just south of the northwest–southeast state line, US 701 veers northeast to bypass Tabor City while US 701 Business follows Hickman Road parallel to the railroad toward the center of the town in Columbus County immediately to the north of the state line.[4][5] The bypass intersects NC 904 (Pireway Road) before meeting the north end of the business route and NC 410 (5th Avenue) on the eastern edge of town. US 701 has a short concurrency with NC 410 before that highway splits north as Joe Brown Highway. The U.S. Highway heads northeast as James B. White Highway through the hamlet of Sydney before reaching the south end of the city of Whiteville. There, US 701 Business splits to the east as Madison Street while the mainline continues as J.K. Powell Boulevard. Just north of the business route split, US 701 meets NC 130 (Love Mill Road) and runs concurrently with the highway along a two-lane road with center turn lane. The highways cross Soules Swamp and intersects the Carolina Southern Railroad at grade, then pass through Whiteville's main street grid. West of the city center, US 701 and NC 130 intersect US 74 Business and US 76 Business (Washington Street), which NC 130 joins heading west toward Chadbourn. North of downtown, US 701 has a partial cloverleaf interchange with US 74 and US 76 (Andrew Jackson Highway), a freeway that will carry I-74 in the future.[4][6]
North of Whiteville, two-lane US 701 collects the northern end of US 701 Business and continues the business route's name of James B. White Highway. The highway veers northeast as its junction with NC 131 (Bladenboro Road) at Western Prong. US 701 Business splits to the northeast just before both highways enter Bladen County. US 701 follows W.R. Latham Street through the town of Clarkton, where the highway intersects NC 211 (Green Street) and CSX's Wilmington Subdivision. North of town, US 701 collects the northern end of its business route, College Street, crosses Brown Marsh Swamp, and passes to the west of the historic Brown Marsh Presbyterian Church. The highway continues north to Elizabethtown, on the southern edge of which US 701 intersects and becomes concurrent with NC 242 and has a junction with NC 87, which bypasses the town to the south. The U.S. Highway passes through town as Poplar Street, which intersects NC 87 Business in the center of town; there, NC 41 joins US 701 and NC 242 as they exit the town on a four-lane divided highway that crosses the Cape Fear River. North–south NC 242 splits from US 701 and NC 41 at the same three-way intersection east–west NC 53 joins the highways to pass through Bladen Lakes State Forest, which is named for several Carolina Bays known collectively as the Bladen Lake Group. US 701, NC 41, and NC 53 head east as a two-lane road to the town of White Lake, which surrounds the namesake lake. The two state highways separate from the U.S. Highway at separate intersections in the town.[4][6]
US 701 heads north and intersects NC 210 before crossing the South River into Sampson County. The highway's name becomes Garland Highway with local variation through the town of Garland, where it follows Ingold Street and intersects NC 411 (2nd Street). US 701 crosses Great Coharie Creek, passes along the edge of the unincorporated community of Ingold, and through the hamlet of Butlers Crossroads. On the southern edge of Clinton, US 701 meets US 421 at a partial cloverleaf interchange; US 701 Business heads straight on Southeast Boulevard while the U.S. Highways head northwest together on the four-lane Faircloth Freeway. The freeway has a three-ramp diamond interchange with Tram Road—the missing ramp is from Tram Road to northbound US 701—just east of a partial interchange with NC 24 where the state highway joins the freeway. Access from northbound US 701 and US 421 to eastbound NC 24 and from westbound NC 24 to southbound US 701 and US 421 is provided via Tram Road. NC 24 splits from the U.S. Highways at the diamond interchange with Sunset Avenue, which the state highway follows west out of the city. US 421 splits from US 701 from a partial interchange where US 421 exits onto Northwest Boulevard to head toward Dunn. Access from southbound US 701 to northbound US 421 and from southbound US 421 to northbound US 701 via North Boulevard, which US 701 meets at the next diamond interchange. The freeway ends where US 701 meets the northern end of US 701 Business and takes over two-lane Hobbton Highway.[4][6]
US 701 continues through the villages of Keener and Hobbton and meets I-40 at a partial cloverleaf interchange between Monks Crossroads and the town of Newton Grove. In the center of town, the U.S. Highway meets US 13, NC 50, and NC 55 at a six-legged roundabout known as Weeks Circle. US 701 follows Clinton Street south of the circle and Main Street to the north. US 13 uses Fayetteville Street on the southwest leg of the roundabout and Goldsboro Highway to the northeast. NC 50 and NC 55 together use Raleigh Street on the northwest branch of the circle and Mount Olive Drive on the southeast leg. Just after leaving the town limits, US 701 enters Johnston County. The highway passes to the west of the Bentonville Battlefield and through the hamlets of Overshot and Strickland Crossroads before reaching its northern terminus on the eastern edge of Four Oaks. US 701 has a four-way intersection with NC 96, which receives the northbound I-95 exit ramp, and Devils Racetrack Road, which leads to the northbound entrance ramp. US 701 and NC 96 cross over I-95 together and US 701 has its terminus at their intersection with US 301. NC 96 continues north with US 301 toward Smithfield and US 301 heads southwest on its own toward the center of Four Oaks, providing access to the southbound I-95 interchange ramps just west of US 701.[4][6]
Established in 1932, US 701 began in Charleston, at the intersection with US 17 (King Street) then proceeded east over the John P. Grace Memorial Bridge into Mount Pleasant. Continuing north, it went through Georgetown, Conway before entering North Carolina. Its routing in South Carolina was in complete concurrency with SC 40, which was removed in 1933. In North Carolina, also in a complete concurrency with NC 23, it traversed through Tabor City, Whiteville, Elizabethtown, Clinton, Newton Grove and ending south of Smithfield.
In 1935, US 17 was rerouted to overlap with US 701 between Charleston and Georgetown. Between Clinton and Newton Grove, US 701 was straighten, leaving behind various secondary roads in the area. By 1948, US 701 was placed on a new routing along Southeast and Northeast Boulevards, leaving behind US 701A. In 1950, US 701 was rerouted from Conway to Tabor City, leaving behind today's SC 410. In 1956, US 701 was placed on new bypass west of Whiteville, its old route eventually became US 701 Bus. In 1957, US 701 was placed on a new bypass east of Tabor City, leaving behind what became US 701 Bus; also same year a new bypass was constructed west of Clarkton, its old route also becoming US 701 Bus.
Around 1965, US 701 was placed on new bypass south of Ingold, its old alignment becoming secondary road. In 1967, US 17/US 701 was bypassed north of Mount Pleasant, leaving behind US 17 Bus/US 701 Bus. On March, 1973, US 701 was placed on US 421's western bypass of Clinton, leaving behind US 701 Bus.[7] In 1992, US 701's southern terminus was truncated in Georgetown, leaving behind a solo US 17 to Charleston.[8]
North Carolina Highway 23[edit]
Location: | SC state line-Louisburg, NC |
Existed: | 1921–1934 |
NC 23 was an original state highway. In 1922 it was routed from the South Carolina Border to NC 22 in Dublin. In 1924 NC 70 was given the part of NC 23 from Lumberton to the South Carolina Border. In 1925 NC 23 was extended north along NC 21 to Elizabethtown. It then was placed on new routing from Elizabethtown to NC 60 south of Clinton. In 1928 NC 23 was removed from its routing from Elizabethtown to Lumberton. Instead NC 23 replaced NC 21 to Whiteville then was placed on new routing to Tabor City where it met up with South Carolina Highway 40. In 1930 NC 23 was extended through Clinton along NC 60 then went north on new road to Newton Grove. NC 23 then replaced NC 220 through both Smithfield and Selma before the road ended at NC 91 near Zebulon. In 1932 US 701 was assigned the routing from the South Carolina State Line to US 301 near Smithfield. In 1933 NC 23 was extended through Zebulon to Louisburg. In 1934 NC 23 was dropped from the routing that US 701 was also along. The rest was renumbered NC 39.
South Carolina Highway 40[edit]
Location: | Charleston, SC-NC state line |
Existed: | 1922–1933 |
South Carolina Highway 40 (SC 40) was an original South Carolina highway that began in Mount Pleasant and traversed north through McClellanville, Georgetown, Conway, and Green Sea before heading into North Carolina at Tabor City. By 1926, a ferry was put in service connecting Mount Pleasant to Charleston, down near the Custom House. In 1929, SC 40 was placed on the John P. Grace Memorial Bridge into Charleston, ending at SC 2 (King Street). In 1932, US 701 was assigned to the entirety of SC 40; which in a year later was decommissioned.

Units with 4 wheel disk brakes may develop at situation where the park brake does not hold as it should. Our technicians tell us this can be caused by worn park brake shoes located inside the drum section of the rear brake disks. The worn shoes should be replaced and properly adjusted to correct this issue.

blog all oft-played tracks VI
This music:
- made its way to iTunes in 2014,
- and got listened to a lot.
I've made these for 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, and 2009. Also: everything as an .m3u playlist.
10. Voyou: Houseman
Gem pointed me to DJ Jeb Edwards' Beat Bash mixes early in the year, each a themed collection of late 80's and early 90's dance music. Some industrial, some hip-house, some techno. Voyou's Houseman was included on March 6th in a selection of Cold War tracks.
9. Pet Shop Boys: Bolshy
We saw Pet Shop Boys perform in Oakland in the spring, a fantastic show. I hadn't realized they were touring in support of a new album. Fluorescent is another good track on that album.
8. Gidge: You
Neb proudly called out Gidge as a new addition to the slooowly-changing music rotation in his convertible.
7. Aphrodite's Child: The Four Horsemen
I was curious to learn more about Vangelis, composer of the 1982 Blade Runner soundtrack. Aphrodite's Child was his Greek progressive rock band formed in 1967, with Demis Roussos, Loukas Sideras, Anargyros Koulouris, and Vangelis Papathanassiou on keyboards. I found this song sticky, and was briefly scared that I like new age music. I had a song called Four Horsemen last year too, a popular theme.
6. µ-Ziq: Roy Castle
From the altogether-excellent Trance Europe Express vol. 3 compilation, which also introduced me to Biosphere and other key trance and ambient artists in college.
5. The Melvins: A History Of Bad Men
True Detective featured music selected by T Bone Burnett, and there's a chunk of music here that I pulled together from track listings for the series. A History Of Bad Men can be heard in the background of the bar scene where Rust goes to meet Ginger.
4. Grinderman: Honey Bee (Let's Fly To Mars)
More from True Detective. Honey Bee comes in right at the end of the infamous six-minute tracking shot.
3. Bosnian Rainbows: Eli
I played this one when Burrito Justice had me on his show in November. Haunting.
2. SIL: Windows (Original Mix)
Basically perfect 1991 Amsterdam prog-house.
1. Junior Vasquez: Live at Sound Factory 1993
A complete mix of New York disco and house.

2015 fellowship reader
The 2015 Code for America fellows show up next week from all over. In 2013, CfA published the book Beyond Transparency. I heard from last year's class that many had read it cover-to-cover before starting. So, we gathered-I-mean-curated a pile of essays and blog posts on design, culture, and code, assembled them into a 400 page reader, and shipped one to each of our 24 incoming fellows.
We included gems like Leisa Reichelt's Help Joy Help You, Dan Milstein's Coding, Fast and Slow, the GDS banned words list, timeless design classic Deep Inside Taco Bell's Doritos Locos Taco, and dozens of other bits of propaganda that we thought might come in handy this year.
We assembled the materials via Github and delivered scrubbed HTML files. Interior design was handled by Noel Callego via oDesk, and I made the cover. Lulu.com did the printing; overall turnaround was a little over three weeks for design, printing, and shipping.
Here are some photos by Frances:

bike ten: schwinn touring
Between the yellow cargo bike and the green commuter bike, I have a mid-90s Trek that I use for errands around town. It's not very interesting, so it's time to replace it with a new project like the others.
Earlier in the fall, I picked up this 1985 Schwinn Tour De Luxe frame:
Here it is in its original glory, minus the Surly fork and Box Dog sticker. I'm borrowing a page from the religious fervor for agile/lean development process at work and building this one up starting with the pile of bike parts I already have in the garage.
I had to pick up the stem, front wheel, brake levers, and backwards-mounted bullhorn handlebars. Everything else is from other bike projects. I've started riding it a bit this week, and I'm really happy with the stiff frame and upright riding position. I did find one problem with the rear brake bosses: one of them is slightly loose, so I'm using a caliper brake instead of a cantilever until I can get a welder to help.
The back wheel is clearly about to fall apart. I want to replace it with an internally-geared hub, probably one of the Sturmey-Archer 5-speeds that can fit in the 126mm of rear spacing.

more open address machine
I spent a substantial portion of Thanksgiving break working on Openaddresses Machine and publishing new data to data.openaddresses.io. Introducing any kind of reliable automation to a process like this is going to be a bumpy ride.
I like Ivan Sagalaev's take:
Ever since I made an automatic publishing infrastructure for highlight.js releases… there wasn't a single time when it really worked automatically as planned!
There was always something: directory structure changes that require updates to the automation tool itself, botched release tagging, out of date dependencies on the server, our CDN partners having their own bugs with automatic updates, etc. … You can't really automate anything. You just shift maintenance from your thing to your automation tools. But! It still makes sense because by introducing automation you can do more complex things at the next level and keep maintenance essentially constant.
So that's where the non-daylight hours of my holiday weekend went: shifting maintenance from the thing to the automation tool so OA can do more complex things. Previously, I was running the OA data process using a multi-step process:
- Start up a new EC2 server, stepping through the console wizard.
- Clone the machine code to the new server.
- Run chef to install all the pieces.
- Run openaddr-process and wait until it completes.
- Kill the server.
I've introduced a new script, openaddr-ec2-run, that pulls the steps above into just one, and learned a bunch of annoying things along the way.
On Monday, I encountered the excitement of Ruby dependency hell ("either you or the maintainer of a gem you depend on will fuck up the dependencies at some point") for the first time when Opscode released ohai 7.6.0 and ruined a bunch of people's days. Running an automation process that relies on external services like RubyGems or NPM can be a risky business, but on balance I prefer this type of risk to the delaying strategy of virtualual images, Docker, and friends. It's a way to keep maintenance constant as Ivan says. Opscode fixed the problem, I removed my workaround, and only my already-frayed trust in the Ruby ecosystem was harmed.
Today, I encountered a set of finicky NPM issues connected to machine's use of EC2's user data shell scripts. iconv, or really node-gyp I guess, really wants HOME to be present in the environment variables and will not build if it's not found. Fixing this took a bit of debugging with env, and I discovered some more Ruby derp along the way:
This error happens because { } has two different meanings in Ruby: Hash value expressions and method blocks. If a procedure is called in poetry mode (no parens) then there is an ambiguity if the parser encounters a { after a method name.
"Poetry mode" is a thing in Ruby, and it will fuck your shit up because Matz didn't read PEP 20:
There should be one - and preferably only one - obvious way to do it.
Boto and Amazon Web Services are blessedly stable; I was able to copy-paste code from three years ago and have it just work to guess a reasonable EC2 spot request bid and start up a server instance. One interaction I introduced was the result of finding a runaway 8xlarge EC2 instance from earlier this month that I had forgotten about and continued to pay for (it adds up): the instance terminates itself when it's done, the run script monitors the instance on a loop, and canceling the script with a KeyboardInterrupt at any point will immediately terminate the instance and cancel the reservation. Just because a computer is in the sky doesn't mean I don't want a convincing illusion of running it in my own terminal.

open address machine
The OpenAddresses project is super-interesting right now:
OpenAddresses is a global repository for open address data. In good open source fashion, OpenAddresses provides a space to collaborate. Today, OpenAddresses is a downloadable archive of address files, it is an API to ingest those address files into your application and, more than anything, it is a place to gather more addresses and create a movement: add your government's address file and if there isn't one online yet, petition for it. —Launching OpenAddresses.
OA is the free and open global address collection, but it's just getting off the ground. Ian Dees of longtime OpenStreetMap involvement kicked off the project early this year when OSM balked at bulk address imports. It's more sensible as a separate project anyway.
I've been working on data.openaddresses.io to make the project more legible and responsive.
I'm about six months late to the party, but there's a ton to do right now. Thinking back on my own involvement in OSM, I remembered that around 2006 the street map tiles were being updated infrequently, and my own willingness to add data was gated by the turnaround time of seeing my input on the real, live map. I'd add some stuff, then twiddle my thumbs for days (or weeks) while the render refreshed. My satisfaction from adding data improved with every advance in OSM's rendering stack re-render time. Seeing your effect on the data set is an important motivational factor.
OA has a similar issue for me. It's implemented as a giant bag of JSON files stored in Github, so it's not immediately obvious where the data lives, how up-to-date it is, or (if you're submitting new files) whether a data source even works. The processing code works, but it's not immediately obvious how to make all the pieces fit together.
I have been working on machine, a harness for running the whole process on a more regular cycle. There's a bunch of interesting moving pieces.
I've taken Andy Allan's chef advice to heart and created a chef recipe collection for preparing OA to run on a bare Ubuntu 14.04 machine. Chef is a no-brainer for me now, and I use it for everything that stands any chance of being important. Andy says:
Configuration management really kicks in to its own when you have dozens of servers, but how few are too few to be worth the hassle? It's a tough one. Nowadays I'd say if you have only one server it's still worth it – just – since one server really means three, right? The one you're running, the VM on your laptop that you're messing around with for the next big software upgrade, and the next one you haven't installed yet.
If you want to add a skeletal chef script to any existing repository, start here:
git pull https://github.com/migurski/chefbase.git master
The whole OA codebase is now possible to run on a scratch machine, which means that once each week I can start an EC2-XXXL server and have it set up with complete OA code in minutes. It takes a few hours to run everything. We can keep data.openaddresses.io up-to-date with the status of the data, including a fresh map of data from US states and counties (even though OA is international), a complete listing of cached and processed status for all data, and small data samples to provide hints for correctly mapping ("conforming") source data to OA's needs.
There remains a lengthy ticket backlog, but I am hoping that OA provides a way to better expose and unify the world's municipal government spatial data. Today, addresses. Tomorrow, parcels.

The two actresses allegedly fought in a Hollywood bar last week after Simpson failed to thank Lohan for buying her a friendly drink.
And now it looks like the pair will battle it out again over the role of Lucy Ewing in Dallas.
It seems Lohan has the upper hand because the original Ewing, Charlene Tilton, has expressed interest in the actress taking over the role.
In an interview last month, Tilton said, "Jessica is beautiful but too old. I had just turned 17 when we started filming. It's more exciting if Lucy is doing all these things... out of high school. (Lindsay Lohan) is a great choice."

Well I called them up the day of this post to ask what's going on and was told they'd know by today. Today is over (where I live) and still nothing. Will have to call them again tomorrow. Just frustrating. Not even the shop knows what's up. Also groov I did replace every part at one point or another with my own spares or temporarily replaced with my friend's parts. Well all parts except the cpu and the case. Those are the only common components that haven't changed. Shop is saying my cpu is fine though but who knows becuase they don't. They claim to have gotten windows installed on it which is something I couldn't do since it'd blue screen during installation but again it crashes and bsod on them while during whatever tests their running. I know they're working on it and I should be patient this topic was just to maybe get some extra insight just in case they can't. I mean it does appear they're having issues trying to diagnose the problem. 9 days does seem a bit too long for a diagnosis at least imo. I'm not a computer technician though so what do I know. | |
Look man, if you ruled all the other parts out, then I would start looking for a new motherboard, try to rule out the CPU for sure though....But it certainly sounds like a hardware issue... --- "The two most common elements in the universe are Hydrogen and stupidity." Harlan Ellison | |
lost_within posted... Look man, if you ruled all the other parts out, then I would start looking for a new motherboard, try to rule out the CPU for sure though....But it certainly sounds like a hardware issue... I actually did replace the motherboard. Wasted money on it because it was my first guess. I'm usually good at figuring these issues out but this one stumped me. The cpu and case are the only common components. And again it's int he shop so I can't test anything out this second though I may go get it soon if they can't tell me anything withing the next couple days. Shop told me the cpu is fine but who knows. I did try without the front usb ports on the case plugged intot he mobo. What else is there I don't have the pc in front of me for reference of what else connects from the case to the mobo. The power button but I think I also tried not plugging that in and instead using the power button on my mobo. | |
I agree with you though it must be a hardware issue but last time I called up the shop to see what was taking so long they claimed that all the components were good. | |
Did you try checking to see if your ram is bogus? I was thinking it could be a bad BIOS chip but if you replaced the motherboard then that throws that theory out the window. | |
If the CPU is the only common component, and it's not a software issue, then it's the CPU. --- god invented extension cords. -elchris79 Starcraft 2 has no depth or challenge -GoreGross | |

Lucavi000 posted... Did you try checking to see if your ram is bogus? Tried each stick separately + my brothers ram which is known to be good and tried multiple slots across both motherboards. | |
DarkZV2Beta posted... If the CPU is the only common component, and it's not a software issue, then it's the CPU. THe only thing that's keeping me from getting a cpu is the fact the shop claims its still good. Also I already got burned thinking it was my motherboard and being wrong. I need some sure way of knowing its the cpu. I do agree with you though and it was my 2nd guess and my only guess right now. |

It wasn't that Danzey failed to win at polling places. Instead, it is the absentee ballots that, at least for now, doomed her political aspirations. There were 124 of them cast. Of those, Danzey's name was marked on only five. Her opponent, incumbent commissioner Amos Newsome, was the choice on 119. When all ballots were tallied Ms. Danzey's victory at the ballot boxes turned into narrow defeat.
Some people were left wondering if everything regarding the election was on the up and up. In fact, some have said they believe others fraudulently used their name to cast absentee ballots. While still others claim they were intimidated to vote for Newsome pointing to the commissioner's longtime girlfriend, Olivia Reynolds, as the person doing some old-fashion political arm twisting.
Dr. Dansey---she's a chiropractor--- and her supporters cried "foul" and three days after the August 6 election concerns were taken to District Attorney Doug Valeska. The veteran prosecutor turned the case over to the Houston County Sheriff's Office and its Criminal Investigation Division. If---and it may be a big if---the probe determines votes were cast illegally that doesn't necessarily mean Danzey would be declared the winner. It only would mean that in the eyes of law enforcement someone broke the law.
So, hedging her bets, Danzey turned to Anderson, one of a few attorneys in Alabama who specializes in election challenges. "It's what I would like to do full time but, unfortunately, elections are held only once every four years so it would be hard to make a living," said Anderson.
The attorney accepted the case and promptly filed a challenge to election results that gave Newsome apparent victory. "We've got to find at least 14 illegal votes which are a lot," Anderson analyzed. "But, on the other hand, based on what surfaced so far and what we've seen in the lopsided amount of absentee votes things look suspect."
Looking suspect is one thing---proving that votes are illegal another. "Election contests are very difficult," Anderson said. "They're very tough to prove and it should be because anytime you set aside a certified election it ought to be real tough to say somebody voted illegally. On the other hand, one our biggest rights is the right to vote and if somebody has been abusing this something should be done about it," he said.
Newsome has repeatedly chosen not to comment on the matter even scurrying away from members of the media moments after he voted to certify the vote that, at least for the moment, gives him victory.
Does that make Amos Newsome guilty? No. Has anyone publicly accused the veteran city lawmaker of criminal activity? Hinted, maybe, but not accused. Is he just an astute politician who knows how to get people to fill out absentee ballots voting for him? Perhaps.
How long will it take for this matter to be resolved in court? Hard to say but time is of the essence since Newsome is scheduled to begin another term in just a few weeks.
Meanwhile, the criminal probe is not expected to be completed until sometime next month. Anderson stresses the election contest and the probe is unrelated. "We've got to be diligent in what we're doing and let that take its course," he said.

Listen Up Employers: Most Professionals Don't Want A New Job; They Want To Learn New Skills In The New Year
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Jan. 15, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LinkedIn, the world's largest professional network with more than 200 million members, today released its findings in regards to the top professional goals people want to achieve in 2013.
Long after all of the presents have been unwrapped and the ball has dropped, a lot of attention is paid to resolutions — the most common ones being losing weight and drinking less — that most people won't keep past the middle of January. LinkedIn surveyed more than 7,100 professionals around the world and found that 74 percent of people globally made a professional goal for 2012, and of that number, fifty-six percent of those professionals said that they actually achieved their goal last year. In the United States specifically, 70 percent of people made a professional goal for 2012, and 56 percent of those people succeeded at accomplishing that goal.
Here are the top five professional goals people in the U.S. said they want to achieve in 2013:
- Professional development through learning new skills (48 percent)
- Network more/build more professional relationships (46 percent)
- Get a new job/career (29 percent)
- Get a raise (28 percent)
- Get promoted or move into a leadership role (25 percent)

Help me contact my brother in Cuba
My brother is missing/not in contact/has gone to Cuba and we can't reach him. This is not a 'he ran off' situation; he is supposed to be in Cuba for work. He is the operations manager of a jazz band who are playing a music festival there. He flew from Mexico into Havana last night -- we think. The last we heard from him was in Mexico. He is traveling on a US passport but not entering from the US. He has done this before. He has a large group of people with him. [more inside]
How strictly does Indonesia enforce passport validity rules?
So I just bought a ticket to Indonesia for a couple weeks out to discover that there's a rule saying I need six months left on my passport, an American one. State Department website says that landing with less than six months could get one sent back or that airline could refuse boarding. I have five months left on my passport as an American living in China. Does anyone have any experience with this? [more inside]
I'm Irish/Canadian. I'd like that for my common law partner too.
This is one of one things I've been meaning to get around to for years.
I'm a Canadian with an Irish passport (acquired through my Grandparents) that expired 20 years ago. I'd like to renew it and if possible, confer Irish citizenship on my common law partner. [more inside]
Desperately in Need of Passport Help
My family has a flight at 6:30 tomorrow morning to Montreal. I realized a couple hours ago that my sixteen-year-old daughter's passport is over a year expired. Any advice for me on what to do with this situation? We are flying from Louisville, via Chicago. [more inside]
Road trip to Canada in three parts
The short of it: (1) Do you have any personal experience getting into Canada and re-entering the US with only a driver's license and birth certificate? (2) What is the drive like between Toronto and Ogdensburg for someone who has really only spent time in cities and driving on major highways up and down the East and West coasts? (3) What should we do in Toronto? [more inside]
Does my UK passport tell me how many people share my name?
The machine-readable code at the bottom of the id page of a UK passport (starting P<GBR) contains a name on one line, and on the second line a long string of numbers, lots of chevrons and then a two-digit number. My mum claims that this two-digit number indicates the number of people with the same name as me already registered as having a passport. This seems unlikely, but is there any truth in it?

State ID/Passport Catch 22. Complicating factor: DUI
My boyfriend needs a passport and a state ID. This is in Louisiana. Due to a recent DUI he does not have in his possession a valid (unexpired) LA driver's license. What we have are his original birth certificate, expired Tennessee license, photocopy of valid LA license (with documentation of why he doesn't have the actual card), and current photo student ID, but it's complicated.

Using a passport card in the Caribbean
This spring, I'll be flying from the continental US to St. Thomas with my small kids to join my parents on their sailboat. I know that we don't need passports to fly into the US Virgin Islands, but that we would need them if we wanted to sail to the British Virgin Islands. My kids don't have passports yet. Because of the expense of a full passport, I am considering getting them passport cards instead. The government website suggests that this is one potential use case of the passport card, but I haven't read accounts of people doing it. I asked my parents what their fellow cruisers know, but didn't get much info. Have you done this? How was it?
Very very old lost US passport - can an immigration lawyer help?
Technically I have dual Canadian/US citizenship as my father was a US citizen living in Canada when I was born. I had a passport in the mid-1980s as a small child, but it's long gone now. Who should I talk to about getting another one? (details inside) [more inside]
Help us get a passport so we can go to Mexico
My husband was born in the US and moved back to Canada as a baby with his Canadian parents. Apparently he received a proof of citizenship card when he was a teen but now it is lost. I understand that he will need this to apply for a Canadian passport. His sister is getting married in January in Mexico, where he will be in the wedding party. We have applied for the replacement citizenship card already about a month ago but have gotten no confirmation so far, and I just read on the website that it will take 6 months. This is not enough time to get it and the passport before mid January. Now we are panicked. Is there anything else we can do? Can he apply for an American passport instead in order to travel to Mexico? He has dual citizenship since he has an American birth certificate. Thanks

Can the wrong emergency contact written in ink in a passport be crossed out?
Is this something I should call the State Department about or is it just a tempest in a teapot?
I just got my renewed passport. In the back, where it plainly says to write in pencil, I wrote the wrong name in pen. I'm thinking I can't white it out (or whatever the 21st century equivalent is) because that would raise all sorts of red flags at customs. It would, right?? And what about just crossing out the wrong name and inserting the right one, in pencil, above?
Anyone have any experience in this? Thanks.

Two Canadians and a tiny American crossing the border.
Do to a family medical emergency, my wife and I are probably going to be renting a car and driving from Philadelphia to Toronto tomorrow night. We are both Canadians living in the US on temporary NAFTA visas. Fun complication: Our daughter is four months old and is an American citizen with an American birth certificate. We haven't yet gotten her a passport or applied for her Canadian citizenship.
Should we expect to have any difficulty crossing the border with her, in either direction? Is there anything we can get in the next 24 hours to make things go more smoothly?

Have you disabled Sense via the ics feature? If so, what advantages have you seen? Any problems? I don't use it except for the lock screen. I'm running Go Launcher so downloading a locker is no big deal. I'm just curious. I thought about freezing it a few times but never did.
I would just run cleanrom developer edition. Its desensed and you can add or remove the sense lock screen.
I am on the first ICS leak from March. I was not aware of any feature to turn off sense. Where would one find that? I really have no issues with sense, but if it could help my battery life, i might give disabling it a try.
I'm running the second leak but the ability to disable an app is a stock ics feature so you should have it. On your app list where an installed app says "uninstall" a pre installed app will say "disable". Click on that. Sent from my HTC Rezound infused with ice cream goodness using Droid Forums.
well how about that. i see that i can force close it, but the disable button isn't highlighted. Anyways. Has anyone disabled all of sense like this before. I assume that if i were to stop it i would need to have another launcher already installed. What else would disabling sense cause not to work. My widgets?
