Many potentially druggable targets have proven to be difficult to adapt to many screening programs, especially as cell-based assays. In recent years we have developed new bioluminescent-based assays to address such challenges. Bioluminescent assays are uniquely suited for high-throughput screening due to their inherent high sensitivity, wide dynamic range and low susceptibility to compound interference. In this report, we present a new biosensor technology to address two popular targets in pharmaceutical screening: Proteases and GPCRs.

Matthew Antoine won a bronze medal for the U.S. in men's skeleton Saturday, coming in behind gold medalist Alexander Tretiakov from Russia and silver medalist Martins Dukurs from Lativia.
The event features competitors riding a small sled down a frozen track while lying face down. Riders experience forces up to 5 g and reach speeds of more than 80 miles per hour. The sport earned its name from the bony appearance of the sled.
Antoine had a breakthrough season in 2013-2014, which included three World Cup medal performances, including a gold in Lake Placid, N.Y.
The 28-year-old Prairie du Chien, Wis., native finished the World Cup season No. 3 overall in the standings.
His medal was the second in skeleton for the U.S. in Sochi. Noelle Pikus-Pace won silver in the women's skeleton competition on Friday.

Blitz 1941
UPDATE: This game has been shutdown and is no longer available
Blitz 1941 Overview
Blitz 1941 is a 2D, strategic tank battle game that plays a lot like Navy Field. The game is set during World War 2, and the game's two factions are Germany and the Soviet Union. Players pick a side, assume control of tanks that actually existed during the era, and fight it out across the battlefields of Europe. Players have the ability to further customize and even upgrade to superior tanks with money earned from winning battles. Unlike Navy Field, which has numerous factions, many game modes, and a healthy player-base, Blitz 1941 only has only two factions, one game mode and a tiny community. Blitz 1941 should be applauded for being unique, but the game fails to impress in nearly every regard.
Blitz 1941 Screenshots
Blitz 1941 Feature Video
Blitz 1941 Full Review
By Omer Altay
Blitz 1941 is a unique tank strategy MMO published by a relatively unknown, small company called TwoWar, which specializes in 'World War Based Historical MMOGs'. The only other game this company publishes is a 2D naval strategy game called 'Navy Field', which plays a lot like Blitz 1941. It actually woulnd't be too much of a stretch to say Blitz 1941 is an exact duplicate of Navy Field, but with tanks instead of ships. It's not at all surprising that TwoWar only publishes two games, as the World War Historical MMOG market isn't that big. One thing worth pointing out right away is that unless you're someone who really loves both World War 2 and Tanks, Blitz 1941 won't keep you entertained for too long.
Starting Out
Upon registering an account and actually logging into Blitz 1941 for the first time, players will be prompted to create a character, also called a 'tankman', for one of the game's two factions – The Third German Empire or Soviet Union. Each faction has its own unique selection of tanks and upgrades that mirror what each side had during World War 2. The Germans will have tanks like Panzers and Tigers, while the Soviets have T-35 and KV-1s. The game boasts over sixty playable tanks and many customizable parts, so there's a lot to do in terms of customization. Players are free to create multiple characters so they can experience what each side has to offer. Personally, I enjoyed playing as the Soviets more, largely because the game loops the catchy Soviet anthem while in the lobby area. I strongly recommend all Blitz 1941 newbies to go through the game's short yet informative tutorial, as it's extremely easy to get confused without it.
Simple Gameplay
Gameplay-wise, Blitz 1941 is pretty straight forward. Each tank in the game has its own distinct advantages and disadvantages. Lighter tanks tend to have fewer hit points and armor, but tend to have superior speed and agility, while heavily armored tanks tend to be much more difficult to maneuver around but can deal much more damage. With over sixty different kinds of tanks, Blitz 1941 does have a fair amount of variety.
Combat in Blitz 1941 take place in real-time and can have up to 200 players on the screen simultaneously in 100 vs 100 battles. Players have a limited amount of ammo for each battle, but the quantity is so large that it might as well be infinite, as I've never even came close to even running low on ammo, let alone running out of ammo. One interesting aspect of the game's combat is that damage dealt depends on where a target was hit. Most tanks tend to have the least armor in the rear, so try to aim behind an enemy for optimal damage.
Not so Epic Battles….
After reading on Blitz 1941′s official site about the epic tank battles that await, I was expecting something on par with Navy Field's huge 64 vs. 64 battles. To my disappointment, the individual battle rooms only support up to eight players at once (4v4). Eight-player battles would still be fun if finding eight other people to play with didn't take so long. In the level 1-7 newbie channel I was in, finding even four people to play with wasn't easy. On the plus side, it only took a few minutes to find a 1v1 game, which is still a bit ridiculous, but tolerable. Aside from the smaller 'battle rooms', players can battle it out in any of the game's fifteen European cities, which exist in a persistent world, meaning players can battle in real time and actually take control of cities for their own faction. This part of the game supports up 100 vs 100 'epic' tank battles, but since finding even 4 people to play with is difficult, finding anywhere near 200 players is downright impossible. I would like to commend the Blitz 1941′s developers for creating such a unique game, and I can see how it could be fun if it had more players, but I can't imagine why too many gamers would opt to play Blitz 1941 over more modern MMOs like K.O.S. Secret Operations or Battle Forge, especially since Blitz 1941 has quite a few drawbacks.
Quite a Few Drawbacks
There are unfortunately many more reasons not to play Blitz 1941 than there are to play it. Most notably, the game looks and feels as if it's from 1999. On top of the game's poor graphics is its ridiculously silly gameplay. After playing through the tutorial, I initially thought that the game's tank battles would be interesting, but after playing several 1v1 matches I quickly revised my opinion. One versus one battles usually end up with both players getting as close as possible and taking turns firing at each other from point blank range. It's a bit hard to explain, but combat is anything but fluid. The whole taking turns firing at each other in point blank range thing is obviously not a viable strategy in larger games, but unfortunately larger games are practically nonexistent, as very few people actually play Blitz 1941. Odds are, the few people who play Blitz 1941 regularly haven't heard of or played Navy Field before, as Navy Field is remarkably similar in terms of core gameplay, but has infinitely more features.
Final Verdict – Poor
Blitz 1941 is a fairly unique game with a completely original theme. Unfortunately, it's way too similar to the vastly superior Navy Field and has many of its own issues, most notably its dated graphics and incredibly small playerbase. It's clear that Blitz 1941 was designed for 'epic' large scale battles and unfortunately the game doesn't have nearly as many players as the developers envisioned.

Latest update : 2011-04-18
Syrian women demand release of detainees
Syrian women campaigning for the release of their loved ones. The people of Japan openly criticizing the authorities. And YouTube is now offering live broadcasts.
Syrian women demand release of detainees
These women and children are chanting "we want our men back". They gathered on a coastal highway near to Bayda, in northern Syria on Wednesday, to denounce the mass arrests made in their village.
These photos, which have been posted on Facebook, are thought to show dozens of people being arrested in this village. According to web users, residents are being punished for supporting protesters in the neighbouring city of Baniyas, which has been the scene of mass anti-government protests in recent days.
So the women of Bayda are campaigning for the release of their loved ones. They notably blocked one of the region's highways for several hours, brandishing olive branches; as we can see in this amateur video which cyber activists are relaying on social networks.
One of the protesters is sharing her story here; she says her 14 year old son was killed during the repression in Baniyas, where numerous people were killed in gun fire last weekend.
This other video appears to have been filmed a little further down the road and appears to show men lying on the tarmac to stop tanks from passing. Soldiers surrounded Baniyas for several days until the authorities and residents finally came to an agreement, to allow the army back into the city to restore order. One of the terms of the agreement is the authorities' release the hundreds of people recently arrested in the region.
Japan's government faces growing criticism over nuclear crisis
In Japan, the government is facing growing criticism of its handling of the nuclear crisis generated by the accident at the Fukushima power plant. And people are expressing their feelings of discontent more and more openly.
Numerous rallies took place across the country last weekend to protest against the dangers posed by the nuclear industry and also to denounce the authorities' inaction and lack of reliable information. As we can see in these images which have been widely relayed on line, the demonstrations drew thousands in Tokyo and also in Kamakura, a city located 50 kilometers south-west of Tokyo.
And there has also been online campaigning. This artist has composed a song criticizing the lies and false information given by the authorities ever since the accident at Fukushima. The track is proving to be highly successful on sharing sites and has been viewed over 500 000 times in less than one week.
This Twitter user says the protest movement is quite surprising as it is particularly unusual to see demonstrations in Japan where people do not really tend to question the authorities. Arugha Satoru expresses a similar sentiment and says there have only been few rallies so far because most Japanese people do not think it will help change anything.
Web user Ken Okabe however believes that public demonstrations are an essential factor in surviving the current crisis. He says that by clearly expressing their opinion, in the street if need be, the people of Japan will be able to move things forward and obtain real changes in the way in which the country's affairs are handled.

Concerts, sporting events, interviews, conferences … There are already numerous partnerships in place and the service will soon be available to individual members of the YouTube community. This new offer could well entice television viewers over from one small screen to another.
Video of the day
Stuntman and BMX expert Greg Powell recently performed an amazing and unusual trick, which we can see for ourselves in this online video. This extreme sportsman left his saddle, completed a mid-air backflip, and then landed back on his bike, as if nothing had happened. The move is now known as the "special Greg" in honour of its creator.

Are you using a proxy by chance? Does openbenchmarking.org resolve from your browser?
Hi everyone, im quite new to the use of the benchmark available, though i have been able to install all the right dependencies and my network set up shows that is "sucessful", but i have not been able to connect to the repository to download tests. My internet is working file, i have also gone into the php.ini file to change the settings to "On" for allow_*****, please can anyone help me on how to get this issues resolved. Im using an Ubuntu 12.04 LTS system
Are you using a proxy by chance? Does openbenchmarking.org resolve from your browser?
Im using proxy and the site resolves on my system
Yes, "Proxy Setup Completed; Storing Network Setting", really finding it hard to know where the problem could be
thanks, i will keep digging, is there anyway to get in touch with a developer, i think they might know better
whaoo, so what else can be the problem, thanks again, i will keep trying hopefully the solution can also help others in the future
Otherwise if you are running the latest version, tinkering inside pts-core/objects/pts_network.php for the lines mentioning self::$network_proxy, would be my only other recommendation as within PTS there's only those few proxy-related lines where I've done anything to do with network proxy support.

Strangest Moment of 2011
Dec 30, 2011, 2:00 PM EDT
US Presswire photo
Jim Riggleman's resignation minutes after a walk-off win? Doesn't get much stranger.
OK, we've run through the greatest moments of the year and we've looked at the worst moments of the year. Now, before we tie a bow on 2011 and move ahead to the promise of 2012, we take one final look back … at the strangest moments of the year.
And make no mistake, there were some strange moments in NatsTown. There was a previously popular center fielder getting traded for a bag of peanuts days after getting into a clubhouse fight with a teammate. There was a manager resigning moments after his team won in dramatic fashion. There was an interim manager getting ejected during his first game at the helm. There was a rookie pitcher hitting a home run on the very first pitch he ever saw in the big leagues. And there was the sight of a $126 million right fielder knocking giant foam presidential caricatures to the ground, winning the nightly race himself and then declaring himself "the last remaining member of the Bull Moose Party."
Let's run through the five finalists, one bizarre moment at a time…
That Nyjer Morgan and the Nationals parted ways in less-than-loving fashion was no surprise. That relationship has steadily deteriorated overRead more »

You sound very young. I expect I've been playing baseball and softball, coaching baseball, and observing baseball since before your mother was born. I expect I've been playing hard ball since I was FIVE YEARS OLD. My first home run was into a cow pasture. So, I'm not exactly young Natslady. And I do understand how to read and use statistics. How to combine them with real scouting reports as Sickel's has done? I wonder where you were when everyone was calling Morse a AAAA player that wouldn't amount to much and I was comparing his AAAA stats to a guy who everyone raved about in AA who had never played AAA named Jason Heyward? Seems like Heyward went one way and Morse the other. Plus Morse uses the same batting stance that I had when I played. Actually something I picked up from reading Clary Anderson's and Ted William's books on the topic.If you really believe that Morse is a terrible first baseman and not middling' then I'm sorry to say you really DON'T know what you are talking about having never played at that level.

Well, ya got me beat. first home run was in a school yard on the South Side of Chicago the year the White Sox won the pennant.Yeah, I wasn't five. I was nine. So now you know my age…Yeah, I never played major league baseball, nor even Little League. I was only allowed to be the ballgirl in "organized sports." Funny thing about that. But in the school yard, where the real game was played–on cement, not grass–yeah, that was fine. They always needed a scrappy kid who could beat out a bunt.

Now, sign Prince Fielder and if you can trade for Upton and let's get a solid lineup in place for the next 4-5 years. And while you're at it Mike how about acquiring another young left-handed starter from the Rays along with Upton? And if you can't sign Prince please steal Seth Smith before the Braves get him.

Happy New Year everybody!And NatsLady…. the only problem Morse has as a 1st baseman is determiming when to charge a ball or stay back and cover while the pitcher makes the play…… and all 1st baseman have that same problem.Otherwise, while he's no Adam LaRoche…. he's above average defensively.

Happy New Year to all…Morse will be fine at first once he learns it. Other first basemen who were considered poor went on to win GG's, Eddie Murry comes to mind and yes I know GG's aren't a good measure see Palmeiro 1999 but you can't stink and get them. That said ALR is a surprising good 1st baseman and being left handed gives him an advantage. As to women in baseball I think that within a generation one will have broken into MLB. My guess LH relief pitcher.
- BinM - Jan 1, 2012 at 6:50 PM
While I've never been an advocate for signing Fielder, he does have soft hands on the bag as well. His problems defensively are lack of range to either side defensively (weight related), and a restricted reach (due to his height). The real judgement call imo is could he be as productive offensively in DC as he was in MIL? Based on current team configuration & lack of team OBP%, the answer is no. He's had good OPB guys in front of him in MIL for a while now (Hart, Weeks, Morgan, Braun, etc.) with an OBP% of .365+, while WSH offers (Desmond, Werth, Bernadina, RZim, etc.) with an OBP% of .331. That's a -55 run difference over the course of the season. Another big bat in the middle of the lineup doesn't necessarily solve the run scoring problems as much as an on-base machine at the top of the lineup would.

They also have DC- and Virginia-based teams, if that's easier for you to get to.If any of you know any women interested in playing, I understand the EWBC is looking to expand by one team this coming season.

Buster Olney essentially has the Nats as the 11th best team in his Power Rankings (5th in the NL). He lists his top ten and in the best of the rest section names the Nationals with the note that if they signed Fielder they would jump into the top ten. The others: Rays, Phillies, Rangers, Yankees, Diamondbacks, Redsox, Cardinals, Tigers, Angels, Giants, Nationals. Earlier – the past few weeks – Olney rated the Nats as having MLB's 9th best infield, 8th best bullpen, and 8th best rotation. The Nats not getting mentioned in best lineups and best outfields. Of course power rankings mean absolutely nothing, but assuming 2 wild cards, 5th best in the NL would mean the Nats make it in to the post season. Olney's rankings would have the Nats being better than the Braves, Marlins, and Brewers. And would have the Giants and the Nationals facing off in a one game playoff. Completing the fantasy, I'll have Zimmermann beating Lincecum 3-2 Michael Morse homerun at Nats Park. I wonder when the tickets go on sale?

Another big bat in the middle of the lineup doesn't necessarily solve the run scoring problems as much as an on-base machine at the top of the lineup would.Looking again at Werth's OBP I think he could provide the requisite OBP by batting second. His OBP was what made him a slightly above average hitter using park and defense neutral stats. He didn't have a negative number. At the top of the lineup we both know that either Desmond or Lombardozzi should do the trick. Plus if Zim returns to his 2010 statistical level then he too will be on base for Fielder's bat. The real problem becomes: who bats behind Fielder? Its Morse right now which should work, then probably Espinosa but Ramos is also a possibility. And then there's the wildcard: Bryce Harper.And that's why the Nats need that left-handed impact/elite bat in the lineup. Looking at Harper's offensive stats and comparing them to David Frietas leaves me wondering if he truly would be ready for the majors? Have to wonder if perhaps he needs another 1/2 season in AA with the rest in AAA. But I do know Davey seems bound and determined to put him in his outfield. Have to wonder what it would do to Harper if he didn't hit and was optioned to Syracuse? And honestly, with all the strike outs and dearth of walks LaRoche barely maintains as an average hitter. If he is hitting either behind or in front of Morse I don't see much run production. If they acquire Fielder it is my contention that they can then go to Tampa Bay and get them a BJ Upton. But at what price? And would BJ Upton sign an extension thus negating free agency in 2013? Then you would have Upton as a potential leadoff hitter as well. I think he would do well in that spot but has the raw power to hit lower. I see either Desmond or Lombardozzi initially leading off with Werth batting second.

As to women in baseball I think that within a generation one will have broken into MLB. My guess LH relief pitcher.I would guess starter. I suspect focus and concentration would be better. But, to have the arm strength she would likely have to be about Meyer's height.

I played a lot of baseball as a kid – in the sandlot, where the guys needed us to have enough to play — small town. It was their fathers who were horrified at the thought of girls playing sports.I did get to watch games with my grandfather and father on Sunday afternoons on the tiny,snowy, black and white screen. They left me with a love of baseball and an absolute hatred of the yankees — thanks – I miss you both. I usually lurk here on ni, but felt compelled to share today.New Year's memories…..
- natsfan1a - Jan 2, 2012 at 1:05 AM
Thanks for sharing, lovethegame.
- Section 222 - Jan 2, 2012 at 1:09 AM
Hey @lovethegame, welcome. Don't hesitate to particpate. We won't bite, at least those of us who aren't Anon won't. I often wonder how the folks whose opinions I enjoy reading here came to love baseball so much that they'll spend their time reading a blog like this and playing arm chair GM or manager, with all the other pastimes that are out there in the digital age. So as we await Mark's first post of the New Year, feel free to share your memories, or origins as a baseball fan. I'll start, briefly (I know, my comments are rarely brief. Sorry). I was raised a Pirates fan in the 60s and 70s. My dad used to take me to sit in the left or right field bleachers in old Forbes Field. My childhood hero was Roberto Clemente, whose photo has a premier spot on my office wall. I loyally followed the Pirates until Bonds and Bonilla left in the early 90s and then kind of lost interest in baseball, only to have it reawakened by the arrival of our Nats in 2005. It only took a few months for me to realize that I had wholeheartedly transferred my allegiance to them. My playing career peaked in 6th grade Little League. I pitched and played shortstop, but I couldn't hit the fast ball, much less the curve. So that was that. Happy New Year everyone.

Section 222Thanks for the memories. My dad took me to the Senators games where I insisted on touching the white Hondo home run seats. Summer to me was dad and the transistor radio with the game on while he grilled the burgers and dogs. Played softball through high school. Shortstop.I didn't realize how much I missed dc baseball till it came back. Love those boys and can't wait for the new season.
- sjm308 - Jan 2, 2012 at 3:06 AM
Sec 222: good story and I am sure you have great memories of those great Pirate teams.My mom took me to my first game at Griffith Stadium in 1950 (I was 5) – it was love at first sight! Grew up loving Eddie Yost and playing 3rd base up through 10th grade when it was obvious I was not going to play much and I was winning every long distance race in PE. Stayed with baseball as my first love and ended up coaching swimming & track in West Va. at Fairmont State Univ. where the closest big league team was Pittsburgh. Took both boys to their first game at 3 Rivers and Andy Van Slyke became our favorite player. Moved back to coach at Maryland and with no team in DC, got Orioles season tickets in time to see Cal break the record and the Orioles actually make the playoffs. Was never happier then 2005 except when my son moved back from NYU to join me in section 308.Happy New Year to all and Go Nats
- Navy Nats Fan - Jan 2, 2012 at 3:15 AM
Well, since you asked – I lived in Baltimore in the late 60s and early 70s, from the ages of about 6 to 12. '69 Series loss to the Mets, '70 Series win over the Reds, crushing loss to the Pirates in '71. Baseball fan for life, even though the Colts won the '71 Super Bowl (I swore off pro football when the Colts moved to Indy and have never returned). What a great time – BRobinson, FRobinson, Belanger, Blair, Buford, Johnson, Powell, Palmer, Cuellar, McNally, Dobson. Played from little league on through high school. Wanted to name my firstborn Brooks (vetoed by wife). My love affair with the Orioles started to decline when they fired Cal Sr. as manager in 1988. It got worse when Angelos took over. Misery epitomized by the revolving doors in the dugout and front office, and players like Albert Belle. I stuck with it until Cal Jr. retired in 2001. Around the same time, I was stationed overseas for 3 years (2001-2004) so it was easy to stop following baseball. I returned to DC right when the Expos arrived and became the Nationals and have been all in ever since – So Sec222, although you and I have some bitter history in 1971 and 1979 (for me, anyway), we're now all in on the best team around – Happy New Year and GYFNG!
- skidge - Jan 2, 2012 at 3:32 AM
I went to Senators games with my father in the late 60s; I was 10 when the team left. Pretty much lost interest after that, although I did make several attempts to become an O's fan in the 80s and 90s, none of which ever took. Kept pining away for a DC team in the back of my mind, though—and what a thrill when it finally happened! So excited for the future…
- NatsLady - Jan 2, 2012 at 4:04 AM
White Sox fan here, grew up on the South Side. Used to go to games with my sister. Really, really, really wanted to be a ballboy (girl) but it wasn't allowed. It was real cheap to sit in the outfield.My Gramps was a Cubs fan, but no one seemed to mind. My Pop was a fanatic Bears fan, and watched every game from the best seat (in front of the TV).Played some softball, but mostly hardball with the boys in the schoolyard. Was quick, lots of stamina, not much power, good at beating out dribblers and bunts, but I did get one home run. (We didn't have umps, so we didn't do balls and strikes, you batted til you hit one or you swung and missed three times.) I remember watching baseball games while ironing–lots of ironing in those days before "permanent press" sheets and sending shirts out was expensive. Greatest highlight of my young life was the 1959 pennant, with my heroes, Little Louie (Aparicio), Nellie Fox, Minnie Minoso…Knuckleballer Hoyt Wilhelm, fun days. The Sox played the Dodgers and won the first game something like 11-0, and then lost the next four.Married a New Yorker, crazy about the Yankees, Rangers, Knicks and of course, Giants. (If things went bad he had to turn off the TV for fear of smashing it.) I got totally addicted to the Giants, and all things football, even coaching Pop Warner.After he passed, I came down here to go to graduate school and take care of my Mom, and I had to break the football habit–too time-consuming. So I pretty much stayed away from sports til the Nats came.
- natsfan1a - Jan 2, 2012 at 11:56 AM
I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and remember my dad and brothers listening to Giants games on the radio. I especially liked the sound of the Alou brother's names floating over the airwaves: Matty Alou, Jesus Alou, Felipe Alou. My parents couldn't afford to take us to games, although once in a while a family friend would treat my brother.We also lived in the Chicago area for a time, so there's a baseball connection there as well. My brother lives in that area now and follows the White Sox, but my Chicago baseball buddy bleeds Cubby blue. My brother did root for the Cubbies in 2003. Boy, was he upset with Mr. Bartman. Yeah.As an adult, I moved around a bit (geographically speaking). I watched the World Serious on tv but didn't have allegiance to any team in particular. I didn't really pay attention to that team up North after moving to Northern Virginia, but when the Nats came to DC they won my heart, and I've been a die-hard fan from day one.As far as in-person on-the-field activities. ummm…does beer league softball count? Back in the day I was on a work-related team. Happily, our team played for fun and weren't really serious competitors (happily because we kinda, well, stunk). Me? I was the one standing in the outfield corner and hoping the ball wasn't hit to me, or trying to lay down a nice bunt.
- natsfan1a - Jan 2, 2012 at 12:01 PM
Oh, and as I've shared on here before, my older brother was a Giants fan practically from day one. I have bittersweet memories of their recent World Series victory, because he had a serious and ultimately fatal health crisis that year, and my postseason memories are tied to ER visits and long-distance phone calls. I was very grateful that he got to see them win it all before he passed.
- Unkyd - Jan 2, 2012 at 1:28 PM
I guess my baseball background is fairly typical: a couple of years in the Boys Club, in New Carrollton, playing catcher and OF, got to see Hondo a few times, at DC Stadium, with Dad, played catch with Dad (every evening!). Had Casey Cox, then an active RP for the Senators, for my PE teacher, in 4th grade ('68/'69), and took the loss of The Hometeam pretty hard. Never fell in with the Birds (although I admired Cal, very much), kinda followed the Yanks, since my Dad and (much) older brothers (all since passed) were all geographically correct Pinstripers. Was excited for BB to finally return to town, and caught a couple of games at RFK, but haven't been to the new park, yet. I'll have to save my pennies, and get out to meet some of you clowns, this summer! Looking forward to it…
- Friday Night Nat - Jan 2, 2012 at 1:54 PM
First off, I have lurked this site pretty much since it started, occasionally posting anonymously. I absolutely adore most of you usual contributors, who have added much depth to my appreciation of baseball and the Nats. I am part of a season ticket group in Sec. 313, and my handle relates to the fact that I get all the Friday night games (living in northern Loudoun Co. makes "school night" games too tough. My apologies for the long post, but you asked for baseball histories, and I couldn't fit 53 years worth in any less space.I grew up in Louisville, KY in the 60s and 70s. The closest team was the Reds, but I adopted my older brothers' team, the Dodgers (probably because Pee Wee Reese was from Louisville). My Dad took us to a game every year or so at the old Crosley Field in Cincinnati. I saw Don Drysdale pitch there. That was pretty magical as a five year old.From 1967 to 1972, the Red Sox AAA affiliate was the Louisville Colonels. Among others, I saw Cecil Cooper, Dwight Evans, Luis Tiant, and my favorite, Carlton Fisk. Back then, parents allowed 12 year olds to walk unaccomanied five miles to the Fairgrounds where the Colonels played. My friends and I would chase foul balls reltentlessly. Sometimes we would ride our bicycles to the park for early batting practice and chase balls hit over the fence. Good times.I played little league beginning at age 8, mostly as a pitcher. Then when I was 10 my team had a sudden pre-season crisis: we had no catcher. I volunteered. After practice the coach handed me a "cup" and told me to wear it to the next practice. Huh? And so began my love of being a catcher. I was good enough to make my high school team. Great arm, good glove, weak bat. Couldn't hit the curve ball. One Saturday afternoon game, with the bases loaded, I swung at a pitch and lifted what I thought was lazy fly ball to left center. Damned if it didn't clear the fence. The only dinger I ever hit, and I floated around the bases. We lost 6-4.My love of the Dodgers continued through college, and followed me to D.C. in 1982 after graduation. My brother-in-law Mets fan and I started going to spring training in the 90s, splitting time between Vero Beach and Port St. Lucie. I quickly learned to despise the Orioles for blocking DC from getting a team. I pledged to never visit Camden Yards until that situation was rectified, and I am happy to report that I lifted my strike against Baltimore baseball in 2005, and I have seen a grand total of one game there since.As fate would have it, the Dodgers blew up the team in 2005, making it easy to adopt the Nats. I'll be at Spring Training again this year, and in Sec. 313 for every Friday night game. We've been through some lean times, Nats fans, but that will only make our emergence as a powerhouse even sweeter.

Born into the Church of Baseball on the West Side of Chicago; Dad was a deacon, in fact: he played semi-pro, primarily third base. Cubs/Giants fan growing up, because we lived in Chicago, and because Willie Mays. Years later, for many years, in SF, wasting many years very profitably, at Candlestick Park (which is more than the Giants themselves can say). Lousy teams, mostly, but The Dude, The Count, Moonman, and Mr. Roger's Neighborhood kept it interesting. Reacquainted with playing while overseas some years ago. Still play and manage on a Little League for Geezers team. It's my yoga.

wow, what wonderful nostalgia! Let me join all who love this blog whether lurking or participating.I've learned a great deal from you all — THANKS. Grew up in Queens, NY, surrounded by Dodger/Giant fans. One fateful day asked my mother who she rooted for, and she (from Oakland, Calif.) said the Yankees. That did it, even tho my dad was a Giants fan. My guy was Mickey Mantle, and when he came up in 1951 followed every swing. Took his "biography" to camp in 1952. Loved Rizzuto, Whitey Ford, Yogi and the rest. In those days baseball was mainly a day game, and on those lucky days when I was fortunate enough to be sick and the Yanks were at home, could watch them on the b/w TV in the afternoon. The sound of Mel Allen's, "Hello there everybody" has never left me. Worst memory: had tickets to Don Larsen's perfect game in the series, but had a miserable flu and fell asleep in the first inning from the meds and was awakened after the 9th from all the screaming. Cried like a baby.Lived in LA, San Diego, Boston, but never took to teams there like I took to the Nats. Go Nats, Go NatsInsider, and the best new year to all!

Ain't No WayComments52
this wiki
|Ain't No Way
| Glee: The Music, The Complete Season Two
Glee: The 3D Concert Movie Motion Picture Soundtrack
|April 19, 2011
|Aretha Franklin
|Sung by:
|Mercedes Jones
|The April Rhodes Civic Pavilion
|A Night of Neglect
Ain't No Way by Aretha Franklin is featured in A Night Of Neglect, the seventeenth episode of Season Two. It is sung by Mercedes at the benefit concert for The Brainiacs.
Mercedes chooses to sing this because she says that since her audition in Pilot, the first episode in Season One, Aretha has received no "respect" in the club. During the episode, Rachel fights everyone for the final spot, but when Mercedes sings this song, Rachel says she can't perform because she could never top it like Mercedes does.
Ain't no way for me to love you,
if you won't let me.
It ain't no way for me to give you all you need,
if you won't let me give all of me.
I know that a woman's duty is to help and love a man,
and that's the way it was planned.
Oh, but how can I, how can I, how can I give you all the things I can,
if you're tying both of my hands?
Oh, it ain't no way (ain't no way).
It ain't no way (ain't no way).
It just ain't no way, baby (ain't no way).
Ain't no way baby (ain't no way).
It ain't no way for me to love you,
if you won't let me.
Stop trying to be someone you're not.
How cold and cruel is a man
who pay too much for what he got?
And if you need me to love you, say, say you do.
Oh, then baby, baby, baby don't you know that
I need you.
Oh, Oh, it ain't no way.
I'll tell you that it ain't no way,
It ain't no way.
It ain't no way, baby, no.
It just ain't no way.
It sure ain't no way
It ain't no way for me to love you,
if you won't let me
- Amber Riley also performed this at the Glee Live Concert which is also featured in the Glee: The 3D Concert Movie and Soundtrack.
- Amber also performed this song at The Trevor Project on December 8, 2013

Improving vaccination coverage and introduction of new vaccines - seminar for nurses
There were forty participants; EPI nurses, Primary Health Care Nurse managers, Surveillance Nurses from all health authorities and counties. The objective of the workshop was primarily to provide technical updates on vaccination program monitoring and information system. The participants were also briefed on new and underutilized vaccines as well as improving surveillance for vaccine preventable diseases.
As one of the most efficient and cost-effective public health interventions, vaccinations are critical to the attainment of the Millennium Development Goals. Further improvements in coverage, expansion of resource pools and timely introduction of new vaccines targeting priority infectious diseases, are needed to sustain the achievements. Emphasis will be put on prioritizing service provision for most vulnerable population and hard-to-reach areas with an integrated service delivery model. The goal of the Expanded Immunization Program in Trinidad and Tobago is to reduce morbidity and mortality from vaccine preventable diseases and attain 95% immunization coverage of each antigen and 95% or more of coverage in each municipality or community. The seminar was officially opened by the PAHO/WHO Country Representative Dr. Bernadette Theodore Gandi and the speakers included the Director of CAREC, Dr. Beryl Irons, Dr. Kumar Sundaraneedi, Medical Director, Technical Services in the Ministry of Health, Dr. Yitades Gebre, Advisor on Family Health and Disease Management, PAHO/WHO.

Mobile Design Pattern: News Ticker
This article shows the "News Ticker" mobile design pattern. This pattern is part of the Mobile Design Patterns series.
According to the Wikipedia, a news ticker (sometimes referred to as a "crawler") is a small screen space on news television networks dedicated to presenting headlines or minor pieces of news. However, a news ticker is also used extensively on the websites.
- A small reserved area on the page to show constantly updated items, with relevant links, is called a news ticker.
- Supplements the information user receives from the website.
- News ticker can act as a distract the users from the original content of the website.
- Reserves screen space which might be used for other purposes.
Use when
The News ticker is used on information sharing, financial, news, etc. websites. When the user is engaged in navigating through the pages of the website the News tickers provides the user with latest news or any other updates the ticker is meant for. The news ticker is used when there is some free space on the website which needs to be filled. News may be filtered according to relevance. For example, news words may be while building the ticker so that it shows relevant news.
Use how
Generally the News ticker is placed on the Top or Bottom of the webpage. Along, with news ticker, stock updates can be provided using the same component. The ticker has a refresh button which would update the content of the ticker. When the user clicks on any news item on the ticker, he is directed to the appropriate relevant link.
Design Tips
- Additional components like the search box might be added to the news ticker if screen space is available. For example, the Get Quote box in above screenshot.
- Horizontal stock tickers are preferred while vertical news tickers are preferred to make optimum use of the screenspace.
- Besides a refresh link, more options could be added so that users can easily navigate to their point of interest.
- Make use of UGC (User Generated Content) to show more relevant items on the ticker

The search giant is tapping Tony Fadell, who worked at Apple and co-founded the Nest thermostat company, to oversee its connected-eyewear project.
After weeks of back-and-forth argument, the judge in the now-settled iPod antitrust suit says never-before-seen footage of the late Apple CEO won't be made available to the public.
After less than four hours of deliberation, the jury in the class action antitrust case finds Apple not guilty of anticompetitive conduct almost a decade ago.
The jury hears closing arguments in a class action case about the decisions made almost a decade ago to limit competitors' access to Apple's iPod.
Prices almost triple for the iPod Classic, Apple and IBM make good on their partnership, and Aaron Sorkin wanted Tom Cruise to play Steve Jobs?
The case hits a major snag as Apple punches holes in the plaintiff's purchases, rendering the suit eligible for dismissal.
In a trial questioning Apple's use of software updates, iTunes chief Eddy Cue says they were necessary because hackers wanted to break apart the company's digital-music ecosystem.
Apple defends the iPod and iTunes software at a class action trial, Google Glass may get new life with Intel, and Charitweet uses Twitter as a donation tool.
The trial kicks off to determine whether Apple illegally used iTunes software updates to keep consumers locked in its digital music ecosystem.
Some consumers accused Apple of unfairly boosting iPod prices because it banned music from services other than the iTunes store. They're asking for $350 million, and even Steve Jobs will make an appearance in court, via taped deposition.

Filbert Gateau with Praline and Buttercream
This months Daring Bakers challenge was a filbert gateau with praline buttercream. When I first read the title of the challenge I was pleased as it sounded good. Unfortunately as I read the instructions I realized that I would not be able to complete the challenge as it was. The recipe called for grinding hazelnuts into a flour and grinding praline into a paste. I do not have a full food processor and my mini chopper is on its last legs and is not nearly capable of grinding nuts. I decided that I would at least try and come up with something and I was thinking that an almond themed cake would be nice.
Filbert Genoise
I had some almond meal on hand and I decided to use that instead of grinding the hazelnuts into a meal. I did not want a large cake all for myself so I cut the recipe in half. I used my 2 small 4 inch spring form pans and 2 ramekins to bake the cake and this allowed me to make 2 small 2 layer cakes. One thing that I have been enjoying about the DB challenges is that there is no shortage of beating in them. I really need to pick up a mixer. For this challenge I fell back to my trusty pair of forks.
3/4 cup almond meal
1/3 cup cake flour
1 tablespoon cornstarch
3 egg yolks
6 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
3 egg whites
2 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons butter (warm)
1. Mix the almond meal, flour and cornstarch in a bowl.
2. Beat the egg yolks until light in colour, about 5 minutes.
3. Add the sugar slowly while beating.
4. Mix in the vanilla extract an lemon zest.
5. Beat the egg whites until soft peaks form.
6. Beat in the sugar.
7. Beat in the egg yolk mixture.
8. Put the dry ingredients in a mesh strainer and sprinkle it into the egg mixture while folding until almost all of the dry ingredients have been folded in.
9. Pour the butter over the batter.
10. Fold in the remaining dry ingredients.
11. Pour the batter into a greased baking dish.
12. Bake in a preheated 350F oven until a toothpick pushed into the center comes out clean, about 20-25 minutes.
Simple Syrup
Continuing with the almond theme I added a splash of amaretto to the simple syrup.
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon amaretto (optional)
1. Simmer the water and sugar for a few minutes.
2. Remove from heat and add the amaretto.
Swiss Buttercream
This is the third time that I have made buttercream and each time has been easier than the last. This time it came together really quickly. My biggest problem now is trying to not eat it all before it gets onto the cake. Since I would only be doing two layers instead of 3 and since I have no skill in decorating with buttercream I cut the recipe down to a quarter of its original size. I also added a splash of amaretto to the buttercream.
1 egg white
3 tablespoons sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter (room temperature)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 tablespoon amaretto (optional)
1. Beat the egg white in a bowl over simmering water until soft peaks are just starting to form.
2. Beat in the sugar and continue to beat until the mixture is warm.
3. Remove from the heat and continue to beat until it cools down.
4. Beat in the butter and continue beating until it thickens.
5. Beat in the vanilla extract and amaretto.
Chocolate Ganache
The last time that I made a chocolate ganache glaze it came out pretty good with a nice glossy finish but this time it did not work at all. The chocolate ganache was not shiny at all and it had a texture that just would not smooth out. At least it still tasted good.
6 tablespoons heavy cream
1/2 tablespoon light corn syrup
6 ounces dark chocolate (chopped into small pieces)
1/2 tablespoon amaretto
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1. Bring the heavy cream and corn syrup to a simmer.
2. Pour the cream over the chocolate and let it sit for a minute.
3. Mix until the chocolate is incorporated into the cream.
4. Mix int the amaretto and vanilla extract.
Almond Praline
The original recipe called for the praline to be ground into a paste and mixed in with the buttercream which sounded really good. Since I could not grind the praline into a paste I decided use the praline as a decoration on the cake. I went with chopped almonds rather than the hazelnuts. I think that it came out as more of an almond brittle rather than almond praline but it tasted great!
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup almonds (chopped)
1. Melt the sugar in a small sauce pan.
2. When the sugar is melted and browned mix in the almonds and bring to a boil.
3. Pour the mixture onto parchment paper and let it cool.
Filbert Gateau with Praline and Buttercream
1 Filbert Genoise
1 recipe of simple syrup
1 recipe of buttercream
1 recipe chocolate ganache
1. Place 1 layer of the cake on your working surface and brush on some of the simple syrup to moisten.
2. Generously spread some of the buttercream onto the cake.
3. Place the next layer of cake onto the buttercream layer and moisten with the simple syrup.
4. Clean up the sides of the cake if any buttercream spilled out.
5. Pour the chocolate ganache over the cake and spread it evenly around the whole cake.
6. Decorate the cake as desired. I used some almond praline.
I ran into a few troubles along the way but I ended up with a tasty cake. I really enjoyed the almond flavour throughout the cake. I am really glad that I got to make the almond praline/brittle as it was really good. I am going to have to work on my cake decorating skills. It's time for me to go and look at all of the other Daring Bakers wonderful creations.

Hi: 10° Lo:5°
By Tim Clarke Thursday 03 January 2013 Updated: 10/01 13:34
POLICE in West Mercia are stepping up the fight against internet scams which target vulnerable people.
The force has signed up to Action Fraud, the UK's national fraud reporting centre, which acts as a central point of contact for all information about fraud and financially-motivated internet crime.
More than 2,700 fraud and forgery offences were recorded in West Mercia during 2011/12 but officers believe this is just 'the tip of the iceberg' and many more cases go unreported.
West Mercia Police hope by joining the centre they will able to significantly reduce cases of fraud which the National Fraud Authority estimates costs the UK economy £73 billion.
Detective Inspector Mark Glazzard, who leads the Economic Crime Unit for West Mercia and Warwickshire, said: "We are seeing a growth in all sorts of fraud, from fairly basic, unsophisticated scams such as bogus websites to highly organised criminal gangs targeting vulnerable people.
"However, we believe we only see the tip of the iceberg and a lot of fraud goes unreported - something which we hope may change with the launch of Action Fraud.
"As well as looking for potential investigative leads, Action Fraud will act as a central intelligence unit, pulling together all reports of fraud aimed at identifying and disrupting organised crime teams."
Instead of local police officers taking crime reports of fraud themselves, they will now redirect victims to Action Fraud where staff will take details over the phone or online.
Where a crime has taken place, it will be recorded and the victim given a national crime reference number.
Every day, details of all recorded crimes will be transferred to the National Fraud Intelligence Bureau (NFIB), run by City of London Police. This information will be collated and analysed to assess if there are any feasible lines of enquiry. Where there is, these will be sent to the relevant police force for further investigation.
Action Fraud is currently being rolled out across the country and all police forces will sign up to it by March.
"We believe that joining Action Fraud will provide victims of fraud with an enhanced service," DI Glazzard added.
"In serious fraud cases or where the victim is reporting a crime in action or is assessed to be vulnerable, we will continue to deal with reports as normal. But for all other such reports, the victim will be referred to Action Fraud."
Action Fraud can be contacted by phone on 0300 123 2040 or at www.actionfraud.police.uk

really this game is so brutal violent ... and this with "Bunnys" LOL
I've never understood why people pre-order. I always want to test out the full game on my system before I throw *any* cash at it. This is especially true for Linux ports that may never come or are done very poorly. At the very least I expect a playable demo before I can give money, but now days I'll torrent before I even consider spending. This was true for Oil Rush, and even though Lugaru was epic, I want to test drive before I buy.
They are funding their work on Overgrowth by using money from pre-orders so this game would never exist without it.
Will be most EPIC indie game evar.
