Copenhagen is rich in history. The Danish capital was officially founded in 1167 by Bishop Absalon, but research suggest that the location was inhabited already in the late Viking age. Copenhagen was a busy and strategically important merchant city throughout the medieval period where it controlled much of the lucrative trade and traffic to and from the Baltic Sea.

Twins hope for different kind of streak in finale
Pelfrey faces Scherzer as Minnesota comes off slump-busting win
Twins fans, exhale -- your team's 10-game losing streak is over.
And the victory that put an end to that ghastly stretch came at the expense of the first-place Detroit Tigers, as Minnesota took Saturday's game at Comerica Park, 3-2. The two clubs will conclude their four-game series Sunday afternoon, with righty Mike Pelfrey throwing for the Twins against Tigers right-hander Max Scherzer.
Though recent times were lacking in joy for his team, Twins manager Ron Gardenhire has been pleased with his players' enthusiasm and effort. No doubt, he felt Saturday's win was much deserved, even though a third-inning ejection forced him to watch most of it from the clubhouse.
"The crazy thing about it is that guys are still in the dugout hooting and hollering and staying into it, and that's what I expect," he said. "I walk through the clubhouse, and the guys still have the music on and their heads up. If it looked like they're not getting after it, that's when I would get upset and yell. But these guys really care.
"It bothers them and hurts them when they lose. You can see it after games. So you have to keep plugging away. It's a good group out there. They're trying hard. Things aren't bouncing our way right now. We have to come up with more hits and get deeper into games with our pitching. But it's not from a lack of effort, and that's what I look at."
Minnesota has had problems with its starting pitchers' ability to remain in games for lengthy periods. In Saturday's win, starter P.J. Walters threw six innings, becoming the first Twins pitcher to go at least six frames in more than a week. On Sunday, Pelfrey will certainly be challenged -- not just in subduing Detroit's powerful lineup, but in keeping pace with Scherzer, too.
The Tigers' powerful right-hander has not lost a game this season. He plowed through Cleveland's lineup in his last outing, moving past a first-inning run to retire the final 22 batters he faced. Scherzer also struck out seven of the last 12 batters he faced in his two-hit, eight-inning effort.
"That was a dominant performance," Indians manager Terry Francona said. "His last pitch was 98 [mph]. When you're up around 115-120 pitches and you have that left in the tank, that's saying a lot. That was impressive."
In nine starts this season, Scherzer is 6-0 with a 3.61 ERA. He has 75 strikeouts against just six walks.
Twins: Pelfrey hoping to avoid rain and runs
A rain delay cut Pelfrey's last outing short after just two innings in Atlanta, where he gave up two runs on four hits and a walk. He also notched one strikeout.
"Pelfrey was lobbying pretty hard to come back in the game," Gardenhire said. "But once you get to a certain point coming off what he went through, there's no chance we're going to run him back out there."
In his last three outings, Pelfrey is 0-1 with a 7.50 ERA over a span of 12 innings, during which he has struck out five and walked four.
On the season, Pelfrey is 3-4 with a 6.69 ERA. He was effective against the Tigers on April 4, when he picked up a win and allowed two unearned runs in 5 1/3 innings. Against Detroit on April 29, though, the righty gave up four runs in the same amount of innings en route to a loss.
Tigers: Miggy's bat unsurprisingly leading the way
Miguel Cabrera has at least one hit in each of his past 11 games, during which he is batting .442 (19-for-43) with four doubles, seven homers and 17 RBIs. Though Cabrera did not knock in a run in Saturday's 3-2 defeat, he still easily leads baseball with 57 RBIs this season. He also paces the Majors with a .385 average and 74 hits.
Only Baltimore's Chris Davis has homered more times than Cabrera, as Davis hit 16 long balls vs. 14 for the Detroit slugger. Cabrera needs one double to become the 15th active player to reach 400 two-baggers.
"[Cabrera] doesn't throw any at-bats away anymore, and I'm proud of him for that," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said recently, "because we talked about that a couple years ago. He's a hard guy to get out. No matter when he's up there, no matter what the situation is, he's a tough guy to get out. When he grinds that at-bat out, it's something to see."
Cabrera's streak of five straight games with multiple RBIs ended in Detroit's loss Saturday. Cabrera finished the game 1-for-4 with a single and a strikeout.
Worth noting
• The Tigers have the edge in the season series, 5-4. In those nine games, they have outscored the Twins by a margin of 35-32.
• After Sunday's meeting, the two clubs will meet nine more times this season. The next series is scheduled for June 14-16 at Minnesota's Target Field.

It's never too bad...you have a clean slate, new classes, you get to see all the people who you haven't seen over the summer...that whole can't fall asleep the night before it type of thing. Then the second day comes, and it's not too bad. Then you get to the 4th and 5th days of school, and begin to realize that you will have to live with that hell for the next 9 months.
The first day of school is tommorrow...SHIT!!

Argueably the most anxiety producing day of school. It marks the end of your Summer vacation and the beggining of a long nine monthes back in the system. You have to readjust your sleeping habbits from sleeping in to getting up at the crack of dawn. Not that you'll get to sleep early, you'll spend most of the night anxiously pondering the awaiting day. All in all, it's not that bad. You get to catch up with friends you havn't seen over the Summer and there's hardly any work on the first day.
I'm writing this at 9:45 A.M and tommorow is the first day of school. Goodbye Summer!

Reds bats again fall silent against Cards
Leake allows three runs on seven hits over six innings
CINCINNATI -- While freezing inside the Reds' dugout on a chilly Tuesday night, manager Dusty Baker noticed some of his players' batting averages had some pretty low digits.
Cardinals' pitching the last two games had plenty to do with that. It was Kyle Lohse and a strong bullpen that left the Reds bats cold again in a 3-1 loss at Great American Ball Park. Through their first five games, the Reds are batting .201 as a team."We've got some guys struggling right now at the plate," Baker said. "And we just have to relax and do what we're capable of doing."
In both losses during the first two games of the three-game series, Cincinnati scored just one run and had a combined seven hits. Top hitter Joey Votto is batting .188 through five games and Scott Rolen, who delivered the game-winning pinch-hit single on Sunday, is batting .125. Negated by Lohse was a quality performance by Reds starter Mike Leake, who pitched six innings and allowed three runs and seven hits with one walk and four strikeouts. "I thought it was good and bad," Leake said. "I did get out of a couple of jams. Then again, I made three mistakes. I would say crucial mistakes. First outing, you learn from it." Mistake No. 1 came early, as Leake fell into a quick 1-0 deficit two batters into the game. Carlos Beltran hit a 1-1 pitch into the right-field seats for his third homer of the season.The next three batters reached to load the bases, putting Leake into a dangerous situation.
But defense bailed out Leake as Yadier Molina grounded to third base. In a slick play, Rolen stepped on third as gloved the ball and threw to first, where Votto scooped the ball for the inning-ending double play. Leake put the leadoff runner on in the second, but escaped when he adroitly fielded a one-out bunt from Lohse and turned a 1-6-4 double play. It was more than enough to keep Leake in the game, had the lineup managed to put something together. In the Reds' second, Jay Bruce led off with a double to right field to set up a scoring chance. But Chris Heisey, now batting .167, fouled a bunt attempt and eventually grounded out to third base, forcing Bruce to hold at second.Drew Stubbs (.133) was also unable to move the runner over, as he grounded out to third. The inning fizzled after a Devin Mesoraco intentional walk, as Leake flew out.
"We attempted to move [Bruce] and didn't get him over," Baker said. "That's what we practice all the time. Get them over and get them in. We just have to do the little things, especially when you're struggling to score runs. You have to scratch, claw and scrape any way you can to get that run in. Then you start rolling from there." The Cardinals were similarly quieted for several innings, as Leake enjoyed a stretch where he retired 12 of 14 batters. "Leake did a good job of shutting us down for a while," Lohse said. "I was trying to come right at them. I threw a lot of first-pitch strikes. Somehow they ran my pitch count up high pretty quick. It's a different ballpark. Try to keep the ball out of the air or you can give up some home runs real quick". In what Leake considered another mistake in the top of the sixth, he threw a 2-2 slider to Lance Berkman that was smoked for a one-out triple to the right field wall. That miscue was compounded by a third one, as David Freese followed Berkman by sending a 0-1 pitch to right field for a two-run homer, his second in two nights. "You always have pitches you want to take back," Leake said. "You just have to move on." Lohse held Cincinnati scoreless for the first five innings and had retired eight in a row until Zack Cozart's leadoff triple through the right field gap in the bottom of the sixth. Votto's sacrifice fly to center field scored Cozart to make it a 3-1 game. Lohse, who gave up one run over 7 1/3 innings in his first start vs. Miami last week, allowed just the one run on four hits over six innings. Mitchell Boggs and Jason Motte combined for three perfect innings as Motte recorded his second save. And like Monday's winner Jake Westbrook, they all kept Reds hitters off-balance. "[Lohse] mixed his pitches very well," Stubbs said. "The main thing he did was keep the ball down and stay away from the middle of the plate all night. Whenever he gave you a pitch to hit, it was on the corner. You noticed there weren't too many good swings where balls were hit hard."Mark Sheldon is a reporter for MLB.com.

The CMS team looking very relaxed after running the Vienna Marathon
On 15 April 2012, 36 runners from CMS Cameron Mc Kenna offices across Central and Eastern Europe dusted off their trainers to compete in the Vienna City Marathon relay in support of their charity partner, Special Olympics.In teams of four the CMS crew collectively ran the full 42.2km in legs of 16km, 5km, 9km and 11km.Preparations started months in advance (and not just on the treadmill!), with five of the teams comprised of members from London, Austria, Moscow, Bucharest, Prague, and Budapest.The teams began their fundraising in earnest, with ideas for fundraising varying across the board. The teams baked, bagged penny sweets, carted fruit salads around the office, sold easter chocolates, and even turned their hands to karaoke in an effort to raise as much money for Special Olympics as possible.For the teams in Moscow, they had to deal with severe weather conditions throughout their training, with temperatures in Moscow regularly below freezing. Special mention must go out to Anna Malanova from Moscow, and Chris Trim from London. Anna ran the half marathon and Chris ran the full marathon, both incredible efforts. In the end, a great day was had by all with Louis De-Ste-Croix, Ewa Stykowska, Joe Campbell and Pawel Stykowski from Prague and Warsaw completing the race fastest in 3 hours 28 mins 7 seconds! Between the five teams we raised 4,766 EUR for Special Olympics. Donations continue to come in and they look forward to running in the event next year in aid of Special Olympics.CMS is the region's leading provider of legal and tax services and they chose Special Olympics as their charity partner in November 2011.On behalf of our 500,000 athletes across Europe Eurasia, we thank you CMS!

Wikipedia: "The Citadel of Aleppo (Arabic: قلعة حلب) is a large medieval fortified palace in the centre of the old city of Aleppo, northern Syria. It is considered to be one of the oldest and largest castles in the world. Usage of the Citadel hill dates back at least to the middle of the 3rd millennium BC. Subsequently occupied by many civilizations including the Greeks, Byzantines, Ayyubids and Mamluks, the majority of the construction as it stands today is thought to originate from the Ayyubid period. An extensive conservation work has taken place in the 2000s by the Aga Khan Trust for Culture in collaboration with Aleppo Archeological Society. Dominating the city, the Citadel is part of the Ancient City of Aleppo, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1986"
Modern civilization began right here in the Tigris-Euphrates river valley. Also known as the Fertile Crescent or Mesopotamia, this is the place where, six thousand years ago, agriculture, writing and mathematics were brought into widespread use.The term "Middle East" comes from the British navy, which used it to describe the countries on the trade route from Europe to India and China. Everything from Afghanistan to Morocco may possibly be classified as "middle eastern", depending on whom you ask -- and when.Only a partial list of past Empires in the middle eastern territory includes Sumeria, Babylonia, Persia, the Ottoman Empire and the Roman Empire!When northern Europe was still lurking about in slimy cold stone castles playing chess, the Middle East was enjoying the flowers of poetry, luxurious craftsmanship, music and literature. In fact, the Renaissance in Europe was partly inspired by stories brought back from the middle east by travelers along the trade route.Strategic location, religious history and the world's largest supply of crude oil have kept the Middle East at the center of world activity for centuries. The saga continues.Text by Steve Smith.

Good idea!
There should be some standardized easy to use tools for automating these tests and capture debug information (eg, backtraces and memory dumps) in a format suitable for a bug report in the event of a failure of a test. That should help in providing good quality bug reports for the developers to find the problem and come up with a fix.
as for (2), another set of easy to use scripts can be devised to automate the process of getting the latest sources from git from appropriate developer repos and building the new binary packages appropriate for your distro. Such scripts can be called from the test suite scripts as well when checking for solutions for failures.
Automating bug reporting and solution checking will be a big help for end users and developers alike, so problems can be found and fixed and fixes pushed out to users.
I believe Microsoft does something like this with Windows via the Error Reporting services by prompting the user to send the crash report to MS and also check if there is a fix available. If a fix or workaround for that particular crash is available it's obtained and installed automatically. Linux can benefit from something like this as well.

Wow (not that this is all that surprising!) but Nvidia (blob) certainly does wipe the floor with every other driver.
it's too bad you didn't use the latest experimental-compiz-ppa ~ apparently, it fixes a bunch of problems and has many improvements. (although i am not positive if it works with untiy, quite yet); http://smspillaz.wordpress.com/2012/...-improvements/
Apparently, for Nvidia users it has some nice improvements... Myself, i have already moved to Cinnamon - but those using Nvidia/compiz should probably take a look.

50/50 ume plum concentrate and jinenjo mountain yam in quarter gram balls. Ume fosters well-being and acid-alkaline balance. Jinenjo complements ume's stimulus of the Krebs Citric Acid Cycle in cells. This cycle produces, stores, and releases cellular energy.
Eden Plum Balls are a convenient way to enjoy one of the vegetable kingdom's most beneficial gifts, the Ume Plum without the high sodium content of pickled umeboshi plums. Ume Plum Concentrate is combined with Wild Japanese Mountain Yam (Jinenjo). The positive benefits of these foods have been enjoyed for thousands of years in Asia. Modern techniques and ancient wisdom combined make this exceptional food.
Eden Plum Balls are a concentration of whole foods that have been crafted into a potent and convenient form, a 0.25 inch (6 millimeter) diameter ball that is swallowed with or without liquid. Mr. Shoichi Inagaki of the Umeken Company, late Master of Oriental Herbal Medicine, developed the technique of making food into this handy ball form in 1970. Mr. Inagaki helped us to introduce Eden Plum Balls to the West in 1983, crafting plum balls by hand before an enchanted crowd at a natural food industry trade show in Denver.
Eden Ume Plum Balls are a 50/50 mixture of Eden Ume Plum Concentrate (a 50x concentration of slowly reduced unripe Japanese Umeboshi Plums) and Jinenjo powder. The plum concentrate is made by reducing 1 kg. (2.2 lb.) of fresh green Umeboshi Plums down to 20 grams of dark, thick syrup until it is 50 times as strong as a fresh plum. The raw materials are weighed according to specific doses and placed in a mixer, then a kneader, then a specially designed ball making machine. The finished balls are placed in a drying room where hot convection currents dry the balls thoroughly and uniformly. The dried balls then pass through a selecting machine to rule out any rough surfaces or irregular shapes. They are inspected again with the naked eye and finally placed in bottles and sealed with a safety cap. This plant has adopted high quality pharmaceutical GMP (good manufacturing practices) with a rigid quality control program. Eden Plum Balls contain no chemicals, additives, flavoring agents or preservatives.
The Ume Plum has been used as a dietary supplement/functional food for centuries in Japan and China, and was first concentrated as a medicine in Japan about 200 years ago. In the 1920s ume plum concentrate's beneficial properties were so highly revered that the Japanese military distributed it as an antiseptic to soldiers and sailors to prevent dysentery and motion sickness. Jinenjo is valued as a food that strengthens the body and further enhances the potency and beneficial properties of ume plum concentrate.
Ume Plum foods are often referred to as the 'king of alkaline food.' Its concentrate is used in traditional Japanese health regimens to achieve optimal balance. Ume Plum Balls provide alkaline minerals. These minerals in the presence of citric acid and other organic acids found in ume plums, readily combines with minerals in the food we eat, promoting easy absorption of the minerals. Umeboshi plums, ume concentrates and ume plum balls are very popular in Japan where they are used as a digestive aid, to increase saliva, help with motion sickness, and even as a cure for hangovers. The picric acid in ume concentrate enhances liver function and helps break down the alcohol in the liver. Lactic acid build up in the body causes fatigue, muscle cramps and a variety of other conditions. Ume plum concentrate has been found helpful for these conditions. Citric acid in ume plum concentrate breaks down lactic acid that is produced in the body when our bodies convert food to energy. The citric and organic acids are catalysts in the cellular cycle of energy production, storage, and release.

With rotation shaken up, Webster to face Yanks
Greene looks to continue strong road performances at Fenway Park
It's no secret that the Red Sox starting rotation has changed drastically in the last week. The team traded away its top three starters in Jon Lester, John Lackey and Jake Peavy.
Those changes have brought an influx of young talent into Boston's current starting rotation.
"There is a lot of leadership, ability and success that left in Jon Lester and John Lackey," Red Sox manager John Farrell said. "At the same time, we feel like there is a support and structure in place to maximize the abilities of young guys with good stuff."
One of them, Anthony Ranaudo, got a win Friday night against the Yankees in his big league debut. Another, 24-year-old Allen Webster, takes the ball on Saturday against New York at Fenway Park.
The right-hander has made just eight Major League starts. His first start this season came on Sunday against the Rays, and he allowed two runs on three hits in 5 1/3 innings for the win.
"We feel like they have gone through a transition phase and whether that was part of last year or prior, we feel like a good majority of that transition is behind them," Farrell said. "A greater expectation comes with that."
Young talent will also be on the mound for the Yankees in the form of 25-year-old Shane Greene. The right-hander will make just the fifth start of his Major League career.
On Sunday against the Blue Jays, Greene took a no-decision, yielding three runs on eight hits in 5 1/3 innings.
"I felt pretty good," Greene said after the game. "I made some good pitches. I've just got to be better later in the game."
A steady presence on the road this season in five appearances (two starts), Greene is 2-0 with a 1.32 ERA. Ironically, the right-hander made his Major League debut against Boston on April 24, allowing three runs in 1/3 inning of relief.
Yankees: Prado to play mostly right
Yankees manager Joe Girardi said before Friday's game against the Red Sox that he would use veteran Martin Prado in right field, even though it was a position he'd never played at the big league level.
Prado did just that when he pinch-hit for Ichiro Suzuki in the seventh and then played in right field for the next two innings.
"A guy like Martin Prado, who has moved around in his career and has played a lot of different positions, you feel pretty comfortable there," said Girardi.
Prado was sent to the Yankees on Thursday in exchange for Minor League slugger Peter O'Brien and a player to be named later.
Red Sox: Craig gets start in left field
Recently acquired outfielder Allen Craig made his debut with the Red Sox Friday night against the Yankees, batting fifth and starting in left field.
Craig finished the night going 1-for-4 with a double and one strikeout. He was traded from the Cardinals on Thursday, along with right-hander Joe Kelly, for Lackey.
"I think it's still sinking in, just being in the clubhouse and seeing a lot of faces and putting the names to faces and that type of stuff," Craig said. "It's cool to be on this side of the clubhouse and get to know the guys who I played against last year in the World Series."
Worth noting
• After sitting out the series opener, Yoenis Cespedes is expected to make his Red Sox debut in Saturday's game.
• Yankees batters have hit multiple home runs in each of the last seven games (exactly two home runs in each game).
• With a solo home run in the eighth inning of Friday's game, Derek Jeter accumulated RBI No. 1,289. It put him in a tie for 100th place on the all-time list with Andruw Jones and Torii Hunter.
• Xander Bogaerts has a hit in nine of 12 games since the All-Star break. He's hitting .311 in that span with two home runs and four RBIs.

Kyoto is one of the most culturally rich cities in Asia. Home to 17 UNESCO World Heritage sites, over 1,600 Buddhist temples and 400 Shinto shrines, this ancient city showcases the heart and soul of traditional Japan. an...

With a bounty of regional specialities and world-class restaurants, food lovers will discover culinary paradise in Japan's extraordinary cuisine. Whether you want to sample sushi – the country's most famous dish, opt for a tasty bowl of udon soup paired with deep fried tempura or try raw horse – a local delicacy in Matsumoto, washed down with a healthy serving of sake, the choices are endless.
We have loved every minute of the tour. It was a surprising mixture of discovering Japan. The information provided by the tour operator was perfect. We know exactly what to do when and every ticket was already there. nice hotels and very knowledgable and flexible guides. We highly recommend this tour."

I went ahead and installed the fglrx drivers from ati - the 8.28.8 since those are the last to support the 9200 and they are much better than the stock open source ones.
Strangely, the performance of the 9200 with fglrx isn't that far off the 6600GT with nvidia drivers on this system so either the card is going bad or something else is wrong. I'm not worrying about it though since the 9200 works fine with ET for my needs. I might upgrade to something newer in the new year but I feel agp will be like the dinosaurs very soon - extinct - lol.

Fantasy Baseball Insiders Tonight 4/26: Marlins' Josh Johnson Three-Hits Padres, Strikes Out 12
Tuesday, April 27, 2010
After a weekend break, Fantasy Baseball Insiders Tonight is back with everything you need to know from Monday night's action. Game No. 18 of 162 featured two of the hardest throwing young arms in the game: Mat Latos and Josh Johnson. Game No. 18 - San Diego Padres vs. Florida Marlins Josh Johnson threw a complete game three-hitter against the Padres Monday night, allowing just one run (a sac fly in the eighth) on 117 pitches. The 6-foot-7 right-hander also struck out 12 batters, while issuing just one free pass.

We've seen the highlights...
We got a taste of his talents first hand during the Knicks 1st pre-season game...
NBA size (6'5" 220lbs)
PG pedigree from Georgia Tech where he led his team in Points, reb, and assists
Budding jumper
Loves to play defense
What can't thiz kid do?
Ok, ok I know it's early. I know we have no idea how Shump will look against the best in the ECWhen Davis gets back in a few weeks, D�Antoni will have tough decisions to make. In the preseason opener Saturday in Newark, the backup unit of Mike Bibby and rookie Iman Shumpert outplayed the starting tandem of Douglas and Landry Fields.
Fields was 2 of 12. Douglas and Fields combined to hit just 2 of 9 treys. It is possible that by February, the starting backcourt will be Davis and Shumpert, who glittered in his Knicks debut with 16 points. Douglas and Fields would become shooting-guard reserves with Bibby backing up Davis at the point.
Asked Shumpert�s future position and role, D�Antoni said of his first-round pick, �It�s hard to tag him. He�s been really good with the ball. So far his decision-making is good. He could be a starting 1 or starting 2. He�s got a pretty high ceiling.��
Rose, Rondo, etc...
And as predicted, the Shump vs Fields debate will be in full-swing
Who's better (or will be)?

Battling the Beast
Wearing class A uniforms, they sit sometimes for days, laughing, eating, joking...waiting for one sound, a tone that transforms them.
They abandon their armchairs for rubber boots, and their armor heavy and hot. Instead of trading jokes they relay directions, and orders, and shout reports of the status of the ENEMY--- "FLAMES ARE VISIBLE"
Fear and excitement grip the hearts of the freshest rookie to the oldest veteran as they jump into their big red fire trucks, perfect from washing, waxing and checking over and over. They pray that they have made no mistakes. The driver navigates the BRFT(big red fire truck) through the tight city streets that he knows as well as his family, dodging those that get into the way, hoping those he can't avoid will see him first.
They spot the ENEMY from blocks away - the column of smoke rises far above the trees, licking the sky.
They arrive at the scene, and again the battle cry is heard---- "FLAMES ARE VISIBLE"
Smoke fills the air and their lungs as they approach, hoses snaking, crisscrossing, coming to life as they surge the water from the fire hydrants to the fire trucks, that then sends the water to the hoses, turning them into weapons to use against the enemy.
The firefighters force open the front door, and a flash of liquid orange flame rolls out into the air trying to escape its defeat. With swords of water and suits of armor the firefighters advance into the structure, that is fully involved with flame, heat, and smoke.
They battle the BEAST nine or ten against one seemingly great odds.
But the nine or ten will win, emerging from the battlefield victorious as they always do, and eventually, they'll retire to their armchairs, thanking GOD that this time nobody was hit by the enemy "................FIRE................"

Williams aims to keep rolling vs. Mariners
Right-hander to face off against former Angel in J. Saunders
Another shot at his former team may be just what Joe Saunders needs to get back on track. The veteran left-hander has gone 1-2 with a 1.29 ERA in three career starts against the Angels, and he is 1-1 with a 0.60 ERA in two tries this year with the Mariners, including a 1-0 loss June 19 in Anaheim when the only run scored on a wild pitch.
The season's second half has not been good to Saunders, who has a 3-7 record and a 6.90 ERA since the All-Star break. Prior to the break he was 8-8 with a 4.24 ERA.
Conversely, Angels starter Jerome Williams is on a roll of late. Since Aug. 21 -- immediately following a nine-start stretch in which he went 0-6 with an 8.34 ERA -- Williams has seen the results of throwing more offspeed pitches to set up his dangerous sinker, posting a 3.74 ERA in six games (five starts) to lower his ERA to 4.65.
"I've been using a lot of my offspeed pitches," Williams said. "More than usual, to try and get hitters to stay off of the sinker. As a hitter, when they're facing me, they already know that I'm going to be throwing the sinker. So, they'll probably be geared up for that. And if I throw offspeed pitches early in the count, later in the count I can throw my sinker and get my ground ball."
Williams, arbitration-eligible for a third year, faces the possibility of being non-tendered in December.
"I'm not worried about that," Williams said. "I'm just going to try to do the things I need to do to be successful and just let everything play out. I just want to pitch to my best capabilities and let things fall out. I have no control over it; nobody does. At the end of the day, if I go out there and do my job, someone will see it, and hopefully something will happen."
Mariners: Ackley continues second-half climb
For Dustin Ackley, a season with a frustrating beginning has turned into a positive springboard going forward as the converted center fielder has been excelling both in the field and at the plate with increasing frequency down the stretch.
Ackley has hit .311 since the All-Star break, raising his season average from .205 to .251. And he made three excellent catches coming in on low line drives in center field in the last two games of the Detroit series, continuing his on-the-job training at that new defensive position.
He hit his fourth home run of the season, a three-run shot off Doug Fister, in Thursday's 5-4 loss, and he said he was regaining his confidence and ability to line the ball around the park.
Three of his four home runs and 12 of his 30 RBIs have come over the last 28 games.
"For sure, the last several weeks it's felt right when I'm up at the plate," Ackley said. "I think that gives me great confidence going into next year, just knowing what I'm capable of doing. I'm not just some singles hitter or a guy trying to just hit balls on the ground. I'm capable of doing a lot more than that, and I think I've shown that a little this year and hopefully next year I'll do that more consistently."
As for playing the outfield, along with the occasional stint back at second base when needed?
"Every day it feels like it's getting better and better, and I'm feeling more and more comfortable," he said. "I'm not out there anxious or nervous anymore. I think it's good that I've gotten a lot of balls lately and gotten a lot of different reads. I think it's been good for me."
Angels: Weaver not worried about forearm tightness
Jered Weaver was scratched from Friday's start with lingering forearm tightness that he first felt after his Sept. 9 start against the Twins. Still, the 30-year-old righty said it was "nothing I'm worried about," and that he was confident he would be available to start against the A's on Wednesday.
Weaver will forego an MRI exam and plans to play catch Saturday.
Worth noting
• Kyle Seager came in as a pinch-hitter in the seventh inning Friday against the Angels after starting 106 straight games.
• The Mariners are 7-10 against the Angels this season with only two games remaining in the seasons series. Seattle hasn't won a season-series against Los Angeles since 2003.

Tribe looks to solve problem with Tigers in Detroit
Indians ask Kazmir to snap six-game skid vs. rivals opposite Anibal
At this point, it would mean more than just a game back in the American League Central race if the Indians beat the Tigers.
Detroit's rain-shortened 7-2 win in Friday's series opener gave the Tigers six straight wins against Cleveland. The clubs have met 17 times this season, with the Tigers coming out on top in 14 of those matchups.
"You try to figure it out," Indians manager Terry Francona said. "It happens. It's hard to figure sometimes. You look at it, and sometimes you even try to go back and see how they pitched them. It's just baseball."
The Tigers host the Tribe at Comerica Park again Saturday night in the second installment of a three-game weekend set, the teams' final series of the regular season. Left-hander Scott Kazmir (7-6, 4.25 ERA) is scheduled to pitch for Cleveland, with righty Anibal Sanchez (11-7, 2.61 ERA) set to take the ball for Detroit.
Despite the Tigers' dominance over the Tribe this season and Detroit's 7 1/2-game lead in the AL Central, Francona isn't treating this series with any added significance.
"I look at it like every other one," Francona said. "We've gotten to a point where every game means so much. On one hand, that's good. That means we've played this many games and every game means a lot. I wish we were four games up -- we're not.
"The nice thing -- and you don't say that too often when you're playing Detroit -- if you beat them, they're guaranteed of losing. Now, we haven't done a very good job of that, so it would behoove us to turn that around."
Indians: Kubel to meet up with Tribe
Jason Kubel is expected to join the Indians in time for Saturday's game. Cleveland acquired Kubel and cash from Arizona on Friday in exchange for a player to be named.
Kubel, who has dealt with various leg ailments this season, is batting just .220/.288/.324. But he hit 30 home runs with an .833 OPS a year ago with the D-backs. In addition to two years in Arizona, Kubel spent seven seasons in Minnesota.
"In acquiring Jason, we feel that we really fortified our organizational depth and we brought in a guy that's had success in the American League and was a really productive player as recently as last year," general manager Chris Antonetti said. "This year he's obviously had a tough year to date, but we're excited to bring him back to the American League and give him an opportunity to contribute."
The Tribe also announced Friday that left-hander Scott Barnes had been recalled from Triple-A Columbus and placed on the 60-day disabled list with a left wrist sprain, and that free-agent catcher Kelly Shoppach had been signed to a Minor League contract and assigned to the Clippers.
Tigers: Miggy comes out early again
Miguel Cabrera left Friday's opener after two innings because of irritation in his abdominal area. He struck out in his first-inning at-bat. Before the start of the third, Don Kelly shifted to third base and Andy Dirks entered the game in Cabrera's place, playing left field and batting third.
A day earlier, Cabrera exited the game against Oakland after five innings with similar discomfort, but said he would be ready to play this weekend's series against Cleveland.
"Believe me, if he can't play, he won't play," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said before Friday's game. "He's fine. He's hurting some. I checked with him today. He's ready to go. He's sore. That's the way it is. If he needs a day, he'll get it. If he needs two days or three days, whenever it is, big series, little series, whatever you want to call it."
An abdominal strain has bothered Cabrera for more than a month. Last year's AL Most Valuable Player and Triple Crown winner is batting .358 with 43 home runs and 130 RBIs.
"The only thing he can't do is he can't run," Leyland said Friday.
Worth noting
• Tribe first baseman Nick Swisher and Detroit designated hitter Victor Martinez each had a pair of doubles Friday.
• Tigers reliever Bruce Rondon notched the final out of the seventh inning Friday and earned his first career save.

Buying Tips
Its time to refresh your running routine with the help of DICKS Sporting Goods. Learn more about the anatomy of your footwear:
- The soft body of your shoe is the upper. The upper often blends multiple materials. Responsive knit fabrics deliver a second-skin fit to your footideal for sprinters and minimalist runners. Mesh inserts or perforated panels along the upper provide much-needed breathability.
- Your running shoe should be outfitted with an internal sockliner. An inner liner enhances the fit of your shoe. Many liners are crafted with moisture-wicking fabrics, which work to lift sweat from skin to keep you fresh.
- The midsole of your running shoe provides cushioning, and in certain shoe types, helps better distribute weight in your shoe. Keep in mind padding when examining the midsole of your new shoe. Lightweight foam or EVA provides contoured and light padding.
- The bottom layer of your shoe is called the outsole. The outsole provides grip, stability and impact absorptionall critical factors for runners. Outsoles with flexible grooves are designed to provide a more natural gait. Trail-running shoes should have denser outsoles. Lugs and traction-maximizing patterns provide better grip.
Expert Advice
Examining the mechanics of your run will help you select footwear that meets your needs.
- Consider the movement of your foot while on the run. Runners seeking to counterbalance an inward or outward roll of the heel should seek shoes that provide an increased level of support.
- Neutral shoes: Preserve your natural gait in lightweight footwear that provides increased shock absorption along your course.
- Stability shoes: For runners who experience a mild to moderate inward roll of the foot, this shoe offers additional midsole cushioning and support that curbs the foots tendency to roll.
- Motion control shoes: This category of athletic shoe offers maximum reinforced stability and support designed to prevent an exaggerated inward roll of the foot.

In my recovery, I have met some of the strongest, sincere, caring, loving, tolerant people. I have learned the meaning of compassion, empathy, altruism, mindfulness, and a lot of other positive words and emotions. I am learning who I am, what I am here for, and how love really feels, and the power of forgiveness. I have learned about spirituality, Jesus, Buddha, the Torah, the Bible, the Koran, and "The Golden Rule". There are days when I am confused and I have learned that my ego wants me to stay away from the "now". I have learned how to pace my steps and know that if I have to go back a few, its okay, the mistakes are my lessons. I have learned how humility is the best state to be in, it is my friend. I have learned to forgive myself and move forward, it is not all about me, it is all about love.
Brothers and sisters of God, Love, AA and Bill W. I can say that today these are the gifts that my addiction has brought to me. I love my addiction because it has brought me into the light of life and love. I have often heard that if you do not love something, it will continue to show up until you do. I love my addiction today, it is one of the most powerful lessons I have learned and a true ally.

Tor compromised endpoint detection
Posted by:
Date: February 19, 2008 11:07AM
one of the big problem with tor is that you have to trust your exit node if the data cannot be encrypted on the complete path (ie website with no ssl), and even if the communication is authenticated and encrypted, you still can only have a medium level of confidence with your exit node.
i was thinking of a method to detect malicious exit node and i came up with this simple scheme
establish a fully trusted exitnode (ie you install it, in a secure location, with signed software, blah blah. usual level of paranoia) and a server configured to send a single long pseudorandom (seeded from something like your UA, or whatever you can strictly control) string, the SHA512 and Whirlpool of this hash, and the SHA512 / Whirlpool of the final produced HTML (bare bones, with just your plain text strings), both as public, and hidden service
then by forcing circuits, you get this page by, sequentially, your trusted node for comparison, node to check one, your trusted node, node to check two, etc... until you have passed through all the node in the network, checking the whole communication for strict identity, apart from the known variable at the packet level. this should ensure the communication is not tempered with along side the path. that's for active attacks (JS injection, flash, tracker pixel or whatever, or payload mangling). didn't think of a way to detect passive listening on the network, and frankly i don't think it is feasible.
as Tor doesn't use a pure random algorithm for circuits generation, you may have to force them to iterate through all the circuits possible.
does this approach sounds sensible/realistic to you guys ?

If you're worried about injection, and the exit node was malicious I doubt that would help as they would probably only inject on defined criteria. (eg: switch out a login page, only track if you go to site X) So your check would go through fine, but next time you logged onto sla.ckers the exit node might replace our login page when it sees you requested it.
But if it messed with every connection, then detection might work.
Re: Tor compromised endpoint detection
Posted by:
Date: February 20, 2008 01:57PM
yeah, but i did thought this detection model more with a massive injection one (inserting malware, or whatever you want to do on an indiscriminative large scale) than targeted attacks.
but we could adapt this model as following :
you browse normally, (or a spider browse normally) with your proxy mirroring your request through your known good path.
as dynamic sites are just that, dynamic chances are that they will "look" the same (ie : change in content, in pretermined areas) but will not suffer of major change. the known good path would then serve as a reference sample, while the traffic would be fuzzy compared to this known good sample, looking for isomorphous patterns. if the "fingerprint" of the site is under a "change threshold" we let it through, else we :
1 : drop the request
2 :copy the whole packet-level session for static analysis
3a : mark the exit node as suspect for a blacklist ranking system
3b : if suspicious traffic is not an option, blacklist it for good
Those that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

Any beef lover will go for this marinated and grilled flank steak! |
(Updated with better photos and added to Recipe Favorites July 2009) I first made this recipe for marinated flank steak after a teacher at school asked for more beef recipes on the blog. Since then I've made this many times, often changing the marinade ingredients slightly, but always with good results. I've discovered that if you use a small ziploc bag to marinate, you can get by with a lot less marinade, so in this updated recipe I've used the same ingredients, but cut down the amounts from the original recipe.
(Makes 4-6 servings, recipe originally adapted from Gourmet Magazine, but I couldn't find it online.)
2-3 pound flank steak or London Broil
2 T balsamic vinegar (I like Fini Balsamic Vinegar)
2 T fresh lemon juice
1 T Dijon mustard
1 T Worcestershire sauce
1 T finely minced fresh garlic
1/2 tsp. dried oregano
1/2 tsp. dried basil
1/2 tsp. dried thyme
1 tsp. smoked paprika or paprika
(original recipe had cayenne pepper, which I stopped using through the years)
1/4 cup olive oil
Combine balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, Dijon, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, and spices, then whisk in olive oil.
Trim the flank steak so there is not a lot of visible fat. Then make small scores about 1/4 inch deep and 1/4 inch apart on both sides of the meat. (This allows the marinade to penetrate more, but it's optional.) Place meat in lziploc bag, using the smallest size you can fit it into. Pour marinade mixture over meat, then marinate in refrigerator 8-24 hours.
To cook, take meat out of the refrigerator, drain off marinade, and let it come to room temperature while you preheat grill to high heat. (I sometimes rinse the flank steak if I'm in a hurry.) Turn grill to medium-high or let coals cool down before you put the meat on. If using Polder Meat Thermometer, cook to a temperature to 130F. If using instant read meat thermometer, start checking temperature after you turn the meat and cook to 130F. I turned the meat after about 6 minutes, and my flank steak reached this temperature in about 11 minutes, but cooking time will depend on how hot the grill is, the size of your steak, and the temperature of the meat when you start. The meat will continue to cook as it rests, so it's best to remove from the grill when it's underdone rather than overdone.
When meat reaches that temperature remove from the grill and let rest 5-10 minutes for smaller pieces or 10-15 minutes for larger pieces. Cut meat into thin slices across the grain and serve immediately.
This is great served with chimichurri sauce or olive sauce for steak.
South Beach Suggestions:
Lean cuts of meat like this are great for any phase of the South Beach Diet or any type of low-glycemic eating plan. For the South Beach Diet phase one, this would be great simply served with Mary's Perfect Salad and Roasted Broccoli with Garlic. For phase two or three, add something like Georgette's Really Lemony Greek Pilafi or Lake Powell Spicy Rice.
