I just installed this on my machine running Ubuntu 11.10 and it just hangs on "Available Tests" when I do a list-tests. Running tests by specifying the names seems to be ok.
Phoronix: Phoronix Test Suite 3.8-Bygland Officially Arrives
Phoronix Test Suite 3.8-Bygland has been officially released with many new features to enhance the Linux benchmarking experience...
I just installed this on my machine running Ubuntu 11.10 and it just hangs on "Available Tests" when I do a list-tests. Running tests by specifying the names seems to be ok.
Michael Larabel
None of the above. I waited some 5 minutes and still no luck.
Hmmm strange, the only thing along the code-path for list-tests where it could be hanging would be network related... All tests can be viewed anyhow at http://openbenchmarking.org/tests/pts
Michael Larabel
I'll keep trying, with different PCs to see if this was just a temporary failure.
I tried to install World of Padman but it returned a PHP error near the end. Apparently it tried to allocate 1,6GB or ram:
Code:Phoronix Test Suite v3.8.0 To Install: pts/padman-1.1.0 Determining File Requirements ..........................................

Ubuntu 11.10 x86_64 with Unity-2D, on Athlon II X4-630, 785G, 8GB DDR3-1333 all at stock speeds. Using integrated graphics HD4200 with latest catalyst 12.2. I have some PPAs enabled, but not Xorg-edgers, or anything else that could impact the system in some way.
Funny... UT2004 demo failed to run. I can't seem to find an error log. Is there any kind of meaningful error logging in PTS?
Note: Strange thing is that I did a clean install of catalyst 12.2 the other day, but PTS reports these versions: fglrx 8.95.3 Catalyst 11.10, OpenGL: 3.3.11554
Hey, I ran PTS on a few more different systems and -list-available-tests option simply doesn't work. I tried it on Ubuntu 11.10 and 12.04 on the system mentioned earlier, on a Pentium G840 with H61 mobo and on a mac mini through VirtualBox. It must be a network problem or server configuration issue. Are you blocking -list-available-tests requests to certain countries/ips or something like that?
Next thing to test is PTS 4.0 and other distros and see if the problem remains.
Edit: Ok, that was weird. The request finally came through after about 7 minutes or more and now I can see the list. Still, I don't think it's normal to take so long to display a list of tests.

Do I really want this?
Hello CM world-
I've been divorced for nearly 7 years, actively dated for 5. Everyone I've dated possessed the proverbial "deal-breaker" for me. Quite possibly, I was not ready to date. I've been 'on hiatus' for 2 years and even though I do miss having another half, I have difficulty envisioning sharing my space with someone. Has anyone else been through this phenomenon?

What's the difference between SEO web hosting with SEO hosting?
There is a thin line separating SEO web hosting from SEO hosting. In fact, both are used interchangeably to mean the same thing. But if we ask the experts, there would be some differences (learn more here). SEO hosting is basically for the optimization of a website in search engine result pages and there are many methods associated with it like white and black hat or linking scheme. SEO also employ keyword optimization. This is done to increase one's website contents that are related to certain keyword or phrase in search engine queries thus allowing visitors to find the site easier.
Hosting a web with the services of SEO is a more appropriate definition of web hosting that is associated with SEO or SEO-friendly web hosting. It is a package that web servers include in their services if you want to own or create a web site. It's like a two-in-one package or hiring two different services that could have been provided by two different companies in one contract from the same company.
Web hosting companies are now inclined in SEO industry. Smart SEO Hosting has expanded their expertise and services to clients and customers that need optimization of their sites however; there are still some web servers that are reluctant in giving SEO service explaining that it would not affect much if the quality of web serving is sufficient enough.

So how about:
1. Breaficks before the ride.
2. Ride to Gettysburg/tour the battlefield.
3. Cashtown Inn for lunch.
4. Winery for tasting/cigars

Hothead just announced a new game based on Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. They set up a small teaser site (is that the voice of the original Arthur Dent, Simon Jones?): http://www.thenewhitchhikersguide.com/. Not much is known about the title just yet, but with E3 so close it wouldn't surprise me if more information is coming very soon.
On the one hand I'm very happy that there's a new Hitchhikers game, but I'm not sure if Hothead is the right company for it. What a Hitchhikers game needs, above all, is extremely good writing. I'm not sure if Hothead has writers that can come near Douglas Adams's level. Their games are pretty fun, but the writing (I guess I can only look at Deathspank, because every word of the Penny Arcade games was written by Jerry Holkins) is, in my opinion, pretty bad. And even if you enjoy Deathspank's humor, it's nothing like the kind of comedy you'll find in the Hitchhiker radio plays/books.
Anyway, maybe I'm being too pessimistic. I'm happy that this game is coming out at all, so let's stay positive for now.
Oh, and if someone from Telltale is reading this: get the Discworld license before Hothead gets their hands on it. Terry is still alive, and there are more movies and a television series coming soon, so get it before the rest of the videogame world realises what a perfect franchise it is.

Obama appeared at a joint White House news conference with Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who has been pressing the administration to take a stronger stand in Syria.
"It is important for us to get more specific information about what is happening" in Syria, Obama said.
"But what's going on now by itself is strong enough to prompt international action," such as sanctions and other pressure, Obama said. "I preserve the options of taking additional steps both diplomatic and military ... but this is also an international problem."
The president said he and Erdogan "both agree [Syrian President Bashar] Assad has to go."
Obama said he and Erdogan also agreed it is critical that Iran not acquire a nuclear weapon.
Erdogan called for cooperation on Syria and closer economic ties with the United States.
Before leaving Ankara, Erdogan said he planned to present evidence at the White House meeting with Obama and Vice President Joe Biden of Syrian chemical weapons use to strengthen his case.
Obama has said proof of chemical weapons use by Assad's forces would be a "red line" and a "game-changer," but has so far said the evidence of such use was insufficient to prompt U.S. action or enable him to unite U.S. allies behind such a response.
Turkey has NATO's second-largest army.

You appear to be confused about the useful time frame of hardware. The HD5000 is for bleeding edge early adoptors around now. The vast majority of consumers are still running HD2000 through HD4000 hardware, if not 9800 class chips.It is one thing to use your hardware, it is another thing to use it within it's useful life time.
This is no different than the OpenGL 4.1 threads. OpenGL 4.1 is put out now so that it can be in use 2-3 years from now. If they waited 2-3 years before releasing it, then it wouldn't be in real use until 4-6 years from now.
Perhaps you bought brand new top-of-the-line hardware and are miffed it isn't supported. I was miffed when my home desktop's HD4000 series card wasn't supported, too. But to claim that my HD4770 is "past its useful time frame" is just freaking idiotic.
According to Steam, all of 3% of users are even using HD5000 series hardware right now, and it's 9 months old. The most popular ATI series is still the HD4800. The most popular NVIDIA card is the 8800, which is now five generations old (it being followed by the 9x00 series, GT100 series, GT200 series, and now GT400 series).
The lag in drive support from ATI sucks for early adopters, but it is by no means resulting in only useless hardware being supported.
But hey, why use facts and statistics and reasoning when you can make grandiose claims and make your post seem more dramatic and meaningful?

Dozen people temporarily displaced after small Manchester fire
District Fire Chief Mark Pelletier said a maintenance man smelled smoke at the 383 Merrimack St. building and called 911 just before 7 p.m.
The fire was in basement wiring running underneath a first floor joist, he said. Firefighters used a chain saw to cut out a section of the beam because of fire damage.
Pelletier said about 12 tenants reside at the six-unit apartment building (one apartment is vacant) and all had to find alternate housing because power was cut to the building.
They will not be able to return until an electrician is brought in and repairs are made, according to Pelletier. He estimated damage at $3,000.

(SportsNetwork.com) - Ed Carpenter is an Indianapolis native, a graduate of Butler University and now a two-time Indianapolis 500 pole winner.
Carpenter also won the inaugural Indy Lights race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in 2003.
But the one thing he would love to do the most in his hometown is win the Indianapolis 500 -- one of the most prestigious automobile races in the world.
On Sunday, Carpenter claimed the Indy 500 pole for the second year in a row after posting a four-lap average speed of 231.067 mph. Carpenter, the driver/owner of the No. 20 car, edged James Hinchcliffe from Andretti Autosport for the top starting position. Hinchcliffe held the provisional pole after he averaged 230.839 mph.
"I knew what the pole was going into my run, and I got my lap times when I crossed the start/finish line every lap, so I saw on the third lap that I dropped to a 230.8 (mph), which was kind of right at the limit," Carpenter said. "I changed my gear strategy on the last lap to maintain and not slide anymore. Basically, I think I duplicated my third lap on the last lap. Once I saw we didn't drop below that number, I thought we would be good. It's hard to do math at 230."
Carpenter finished 10th in the 2013 Indy 500 despite leading the most laps with 37. He was disappointed with the result. But Carpenter has high expectations for next Sunday's 500-mile race. After capturing the pole, he said that he is "much more determined" to win it this time.
Tony Kanaan won last year's race, which featured a record 68 lead changes among 14 drivers and moved at a blistering pace of 187.433 mph. It was the first time Kanaan had won it in 12 attempts.
Carpenter, at age 33, will make his 11th start in the Indy 500.
"So looking forward to it," he said. "I think we have a better idea for me and the whole team how to be prepared for it, how to manage the week, how to manage our time. Hopefully, we'll be better prepared next Sunday."
On Monday, Carpenter made a total of 49 laps during Indy 500 practice. His best lap was clocked at 224.492 mph, which placed him 20th on the charts. Josef Newgarden was quickest at 227.105 mph.
Final practice, a one-hour session known as "Carb Day," is scheduled for Friday. There is no practice on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday.
Carpenter is the stepson of Tony George, the former president and CEO of IMS and founder of the Indy Racing League (now known as INDYCAR). George also co- owned Vision Racing, a team that Carpenter served as primary driver from 2005-09.
In 2012, Carpenter started his own team, Ed Carpenter Racing. The team claimed its first win that year when he took the checkered flag in the season finale in Fontana, California. It was Carpenter's second career and most recent IndyCar victory. His first win in the series came in October 2011 at Kentucky, driving an entry for Sarah Fisher Racing. He beat Dario Franchitti at the finish line by only 0.0098 seconds.
This year, Carpenter is sharing driving duties with Mike Conway in the No. 20. Carpenter is competing on the oval tracks only, while Conway is scheduled for all road/street course races. Indianapolis is the first oval event this season.
It's been seven months since Carpenter has run in an IndyCar race. He finished second to Will Power in Fontana.
"No one has raced an oval since I raced Fontana last year," Carpenter said. "I don't feel like I'm missing much. Oval racing and road and street courses are different. The cars are different. We tested as much as I think anyone outside of doing the tire test here (at Indianapolis) at the end of last year. I think that's the only test we missed as far as oval testing.
"I didn't feel lacking or unprepared. I prepare the same now as I did when I was racing full-time. So much of it here I think is mental and in the preparation. We were prepared."
Carpenter's best finish in the Indy 500 is fifth, which came in 2008. He placed eighth in it the following year.

"A reply from Audible"
We would love to be able to offer our customers the complete Prairie Home Companion each week. Unfortunately, we have not been given the rights to do so from the other guests and musicians on the program. We're happy that we're at least able to share Garrison Keillor's monologues with our loyal listeners!
"Where's the rest of the show???????"
Fifteen minutes was a huge disappointment, sure I enjoy GK stories/News, but where's the music and other characters and reviews of guests. I subscribed to it today and regret I did. I regret on behaf of listeners everywhere, not to hear the show in it'sglorious, humourous, entirity.
"Talking just to fill time."
Had the month subscription. At first it was interesting, but it soon got annoying listening to this guy talk just to talk. I love to hear older people tell stories, but this guy was talking for no good reason.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.

Nothing new, Fedora must target less new features. Don't byte off more than you can chew, end of story.
Phoronix: Fedora 18 Isn't Looking Too Good, Anaconda Problems
The release of Fedora 18 has already been delayed five times and it's still uncertain when this next Fedora Linux release will actually ship...
Nothing new, Fedora must target less new features. Don't byte off more than you can chew, end of story.
IMO 6 month release schedules are just silly in the first place, I wish fedora (and ubuntu) would consider having longer time between releases, and more post-release updates/support for existing releases.
On the bright side, while Anaconda holds the release the distribution packages actually get into shape. I've been using Fedora 18 and it's rock solid so far.
Will be interesting to see if Red Hat will put this new anaconda installer also onto RHEL 7. Maybe that's the reason why they hurry this anaconda revamp into Fedora 18. It's likely that RHEL 7 will be based on F18. I read that somewhere but have no idea if this was rumor or for sure.
Is this similar to the issues openSUSE were having post 12.1? They started slipping behind schedules and it eventually led to some soul searching, and then procedural changes within the distro's release management.
They need to further though, using ubuntu as an example, their LTS releases are too slow with he hardware enablement updates, and you often get stuck with old software, having to use a bunch of ppa's to keep things up to date.
For example I have ivybridge graphics, so ubuntu 12.04 isn't really an option with its old kernel/drivers. At least fedora is usually decent about updating those.

Fitbit activity monitor keeps tabs on your every move
Boxed and ready to ship, one of the first Fitbit monitors to be sent out
Article Summary
Fitbit is an activity monitor which conveniently clips to pants, shirt or wristband and pays careful attention to what you are doing. It counts your steps, records distance traveled and tells you how many calories you've burned. When you're not being active it'll record data on how long it takes you to fall asleep, how many times during the night you awoke and how much sleep you actually managed to get. Go within a few feet of its base station and it will automatically upload the data to a website for subsequent detailed analysis and storage.

Skip to main content
I was 22 with a budding career as a pastry chef. Of course, cooks never make much money so I had been working two jobs, roughly 60-70 hours a week. I baked in the morning and hosted at night. At one point both jobs had stairs I would go up dozens of times during the day. I noticed I would get out of breath as I ran up them and cursed myself for being so out of shape. Eventually I couldn't even walk up them without stopping to catch my breath at the end. I assumed that I must have baker's allergy, a fairly common allergy that comes from breathing in flour on a regular basis. After several visits to the allergist, I was told I had no allergies and was simply anxious. I believed them.
Right around my 23rd birthday I started a new job. It was a salaried pastry chef position that paid well enough that I wouldn't have to work two jobs! What I didn't realize is that I would still be working close to 60 hours a week. After a couple weeks of work my symptoms rapidly got worse. I could hardly make it up the stairs and had to rest regularly. I went to the emergency room one night after hyperventilating just trying to make dinner. I was told my x-rays and EKG were normal (they weren't) and was sent on my way.
Over the next few months I averaged two or three doctor's appointments a week, never missing a day of work. I moved from specialist to specialist, all of them telling me I was anxious or stressed, that I had a hole in my heart that no one would find. After giving up on supposedly the best cardiology department in Atlanta, I was referred to another cardiologist by a friend of the family. He gave me an exercise-stress test, the one test I hadn't done. Three minutes on the treadmill and my entire body turned blue and I passed out. I believe my oxygen levels were in the low seventies. I was finally diagnosed.
After being diagnosed, I found the PHA site and hunted down one of the two PH specialists in Georgia. Two days later I was having a right heart cath which got me admitted to ICU to start Flolan later that day. My doctor told me I should not have been able to stand on my own. I had worked two 16 hour days the two days before. My pressures were 120 and my symptoms were stage IV. For some reason my heart was not as strained as it should've been, and that was keeping me alive.
My first day back to work, I was fired. I was told that I was not allowed to use all my sick time at once. I was now unemployed and on $400 a month COBRA insurance. Flolan worked well for me for the first few months. Eventually the side-effects surpassed the benefits and I kept getting line infections. I was in the hospital for a week when they finally decided to pull my hickman and replace it with a picc line. After that my 103.5 temperature finally subsided. Unfortunately, the angry staph infection had not been killed and found its way to my picc line. Another severe infection which caused a blood clot ensued. After this much trouble with lines and ivs I was transistioned to Revatio. In the next couple weeks another med will be added.
Throughout all this, the messages boards were my savior. Every little stress and side-effect I had, someone else had already been there. They also supported me as I gave up kitchens for unfulfilling temp jobs. I kept looking forward to the conference, where I would finally get to meet my friends.
The conference was everything I ever hoped it to be. I finally met girls my age going through the same things I was. I met survivors who had been going through this longer than I had been expecting to live. But most importantly, I met my message board friends. There was lots of excitement as we explained who we were and our message board names. There were cheers with recollection of stories, especially with NuLungs, our transplant success story. I felt like I had known these women my whole life.
I am more optimistic than I was six months ago, even after losing my career, friends, and many of the things I loved to do. I want to tell everyone about PH, get everyone involved. It doesn't seem like such a selfish act now that I know others struggling just like I am.

Phoronix: Ubuntu 12.04 ARM Performance Becomes Very Compelling
Last week I delivered benchmarks showing how Ubuntu 12.04 is ARM-ing up for better performance with ARM-based hardware and detailed some of the plans Canonical has for this architecture going forward. While those benchmarks last week illustrated some significant performance improvements with the Ubuntu 12.04 stack -- in large part due to the switch to hard floating-point support -- the gains are not over. In fact, there are already some striking improvements if using the Texas Instruments OMAP4460 SoC as found on the PandaBoard ES.
This is awesome. I'd like to see how Kubuntu and Ubuntu compare in terms of performance though.
I was wondering how the pandaboard all in all compared to a moderately modern laptop. In this case a first generation i5 (480M):
Yes, I know that they are not meant to be in the same performance class. I wanted to see it anyway.
Also, the benchmarks are not ideal since I was surfing / working while running it.
Last edited by ChrisXY; 02-03-2012 at 04:46 PM.
is there also a core2 8200 quad and dual tested (with an old DDR2 MB ?) in OB , that might have been a little closer ?.
it would also be better if someone did a FULL Tegra® 3 Quad-core CPU test with both thisUbuntu 12.04 and the latest and greatestThe Linaro Kernel Tree https://wiki.linaro.org/WorkingGroups/Kernel/KernelTree, sure it would still loose compared to the i5 and even the i3 due to having a slower ram and subsystem on board right now if nothing else all being equal, but it is the best until A15 etc or at least a faster 1.6/8 gig dual A9 comes along, and Tegra3 prime does have NEON on board unlike the Tegra2 and is a current key device for linaro.
i thoughtMichael was supposed to get a quad Tegra® 3 prime in the post to test already, what happened there, didnt you follow it up
Michael ?

Well it's not about "losing".. It was obvious it would be much slower. But I wanted to see it in perspective.
I think comparing it with a CULV would be maybe "fairer" on the x86 side...
Yes, looks like Ubuntu performance is becoming less broken on ARM thanks to the latest updates But there are still some tests where Ubuntu powered Pandaboard ES (OMAP4460, dual ARM Cortex-A9 1.2GHz) is significantly falling behind Gentoo powered Origenboard (Exynos4210, dual ARM Cortex-A9 1.2GHz).
This link contains the results from the initial OMAP4460 benchmark article combined with the current results and also with the results from Exynos4210 (which had been posted in the initial article discussion thread). The latest and greatest OMAP4460 results are highlighted in order to make the comparison easier.
i do find it a little odd though that the Exynos4210 didn't do even better as apparently its got an lp DDR3 interface at a top speed up to 6.4GB/s memory bandwidth, whereas the OMAP4460 has the older lpDDR2 interface lower than that, and it seems clear slower ram speed is what's really holding these initial SOC back more than anything
still, given TI worked closely with ARM as the Advanced Lead Partner on the Cortex-A15's development i guess their OMAP 5 A15 MPCore OMAP5432 – 2-channel DDR3 @532 MHz is just around the corner with a Higher bandwidth memory interface with up to 8.5 GB/s

We've been using Ubuntu on the Beaglebone for our Ninja Block ( http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...d-with-the-web).
We've found the performance of Ubuntu equal if not better than Angstrom Linux on the same hardware. The board runs as faster as my 3 year old laptop (insanely fast).
Ubuntu beats Angstrom hands down on the number of packages available for the distro.
We added our board to this test... http://openbenchmarking.org/result/1...BY-1201286BY42. It was an original Panda (EA3) with a similar hardfp build from the first week of February. While some of the benchies are predictably 20% slower than the ES, it is interesting to note that some actually performed better. We will try and figure out why that is...
Looking at cpufreq-info, we were running at 1 Ghz 99.84% of the time. It throttled down to 300Mhz for something but omap4temp stayed well within range.

Very good - 1/10/2015 4:57:34 AM A good value for good quality products...and the duck is a classic!!Pretty but VERY short lived - 5/14/2014 8:45:11 AM This perfume should be $10.00 just for lasting power alone. Yes, it is pretty. But, seriously? It only lasts I'd swear 5-10 min, if that. I have noticed it lasts a little longer if I spray it on my clothes & not my body. What a shame, because if it did last, it'd probably be one of my favorites. I wouldn't buy again. Waste of money.expired massage oil! - 4/7/2014 8:30:58 PM place the order on March.9.2014 and expire date is 2014 MARCH!!!Works on my babies eczema - 3/13/2014 4:16:19 PM My son developed eczema at 6 months. I was heart broken. It was very very bad. I tried everything, including creams from London etc... This hands down is the best cream (better than Mustela's stelatopia Moisturizer). I do not use steroid creams on my son and do not have flare ups. The Eczema is still there but it is the dry yellow patches, rather than red itchy and oozing. Try this cream, you won't be disappointed. Remember to give it a few days to a week to work and then you will be so pleased and relieved as I.Great!!! - 1/3/2014 1:46:20 AM Mustela ansorbs so quicly and gently. I love it~~!!!!Not impressed - 10/17/2012 6:32:30 AM I read many reviews on this lotion before I purchased it. There were so many good ones and only a few bad so I spent the money to get it anyway. At the time, I was 8 weeks pregnant and the cocoa butter lotion was making me sick. I bought this in hopes that I could tolerate it more. I am now 17 weeks pregnant and my smell aversions are gone but the smell of this lotion makes me have a headache. It is HORRIBLE. Very sweet and overly floral! Most of my perfumes are floral but this is TOO MUCH. Also, it does not absorb well. It just sits on yours skin even after rubbing it in for a long time and then it leaves white marks on dark clothes. For the price, this lotion is NOT worth it! Just hope it keeps the stretch marks away!Has helped ezcema - 9/21/2012 11:58:52 PM I use this every night on my hands and put cotton gloves on while I sleep. My hands have not had eczema since using. The smell is like baby diaper cream and I thought it would bother me because I am fragrance sensitive, but it has not been a problem. I am reordering it today. It is a little greasy but it absorbs overnight.Glad I tried it - 9/6/2012 1:45:39 PM I never thought I could by something over the counter that would help my daughters eczema but I was wrong. We have had no repeat visits to the doctor for eczema flares. If they happen, the cream helps!Stops itching - 5/28/2012 5:55:56 PM I read other reviews of this skin cream and thought I'd give it a try on a few small patches of skin that get very itchy from clothing contact. Cortisone creams haven't even worked nor did Gold Bond lotion. Mustela works! I don't need to use much and once a day is sufficient so it's economical as well.IT WORKS! - 5/27/2012 1:07:20 AM I used this cream with boyh of my pregnancies and ended up with NO stretch marks even though I gained 60 lbs with each pregnancy. I did start pretty thin though, and I am 5'10". My husband or I would rub it in every night into my belly, upper legs, butt and breasts. I went through about 2 tubes during each preg. Dont expect a miracle from his cream, however in combination with good nutrition, hydration and sleep, it can certainly contribute to good results. It felt very moisturizing and luxurious on my skin. I loved using it. I would highly recommend. I would also recomend Mustella products for kids. -

- Manassas Nats' Fan - May 10, 2013 at 2:17 AM
what sre FIP and xFIP?
- Eric - May 10, 2013 at 2:19 AM
FIP = fielding-independent pitching. Not sure what the x means.
- Eugene in Oregon - May 10, 2013 at 2:28 AM
There are many folks in the NatsInsider world who can explain FIP and xFIP better than I ever could, but essentially they are ways to take the randomness of balls-in-play out of the equation and try to measure the results a pitcher can control (home runs, walks, HBP, and strikeouts).
- Manassas Nats' Fan - May 10, 2013 at 2:30 AM
sounds like Brian Kenny crap. i am too old for worrying about that WHIP and ERA are good enough for me.

Hope some stats get padded against the Cubs staff.Thanks for reminding me about what the Nats did to the Cubs last year at Nats Park. Four game sweep, outscored them 40-9, with 15 home runs (12 in the middle two games.) Seriously fun to watch.I love it that the whole team is getting into untucking. Kind of like the Domenican players all doing the archery pose with Fernando Rodney during the WBC. For some reason, that's annoying, but this isn't.
- peric - May 10, 2013 at 2:38 AM
There's also the versions that try to make the statistic Park/location independent, The individual Parks pitched in have can an effect on the pitcher's stats.
- Eric - May 10, 2013 at 2:40 AM
>There's also the versions that try to make the statistic Park/location independent, The individual Parks pitched in have can an effect on the pitcher's stats.Yeah. I seem to recall that Cueto's are shockingly low when adjusted for his home park, considering how small it is.
- EmDash - May 10, 2013 at 2:48 AM
Venters has been really overworked the last few seasons, so it makes sense that he's been having issues. That's going to be a concern with Clippard too, going forward.Giants will have to score a lot of runs today, Vogelsong's been really shaky this season so far.
- peric - May 10, 2013 at 2:50 AM
Actually, Cingrani is the best with a 2.20 xRA and Bailey with a 3.27.Cueto did not have a good start at 4.34 xRA. Cingrani also has the highest percentage of strike outs. In that park its probably what you need to be successful.
- Eric - May 10, 2013 at 2:54 AM
>Cueto did not have a good start at 4.34 xRA.Is that just for this year? The article I read about it was out around the time we played in Cincy back in early April, so mostly focused on last year.
- sjm308 - May 10, 2013 at 3:06 AM
You guys let me know when they place a team in the World Series that has a high or low xRA or WHIP or FIP. We just need to score one more run then the team we are playing each game and I think we will be ok. Don't have any research on that but I am pretty sure I am correct. Wins are what get you there. Nothing more, nothing less.We have a four game WIN streak, not sure what our FIP streak is though. Hope to wake up one game back of first in the NL East.Go Nats!!
- Manassas Nats' Fan - May 10, 2013 at 3:16 AM
after McCann 2 run homer in second, Posey hits 2 run homer in 3rd. Giants lead 3-2 after 3.
- Eric - May 10, 2013 at 3:16 AM
"You guys let me know when they place a team in the World Series that has a high or low xRA or WHIP or FIP. We just need to score one more run then the team we are playing each game and I think we will be ok."True enough, sjm. I imagine these more esoteric stats–and even some of the well-known ones–only have real significance when, say, reviewing trade options. It's all about playing the odds and improving your chances of accumulating the end-all-be-all stat…Ws!Beyond that it's mostly just whether or not you're into that sort of thing .
- sjm308 - May 10, 2013 at 3:25 AM
Like Manassas, I am an old guy. I don't want to rain on anyone else's parade on this. If its something you like to use or research, please keep on keeping on. I do understand WHIP and I think era for starters has some validity (but certainly not for relievers). Once again, its all about the W!!Watching a game in person is something that does make a huge difference. My big point on this is watching Span get a correct jump on just about every ball hit. It's early but I have not seen him make a misstep yet. He has not caught everything hit to him but its been pretty much fun to watch him glide and catch.One last point tonight and I won't be up to see if anyone responds. How tough will it be to put Werth in left field when his hamstring/stomach virus clears up? Harper is our future in right field, makes all the plays, has a better arm and better speed. I really don't see why we can't keep him in right field the remainder of the year. It would also allow Werth to place less stress on his leg as he keeps getting healthy. Just a thought from an old man.go Nats!!
- Eric - May 10, 2013 at 3:33 AM
FWIW, I don't pay much attention to the stats, except to learn what new (to me) acronyms mean when I first encounter them.
- Sunshine_Bobby_Carpenter_Is_Too_Pessimistic_For_Me - May 10, 2013 at 5:05 AM
I'm so old school they tore down the old school to build my school. So best stat to me is "winning percentage."Everything else is window dressing. I like Davey's matchup stats against individual pitchers. But to break it down much further reduces the game to a computer simulation.I like the people side of things.Giants doing us no favors tonight.
- Drew - May 10, 2013 at 6:54 AM
Some of the esoteric stats do help put players' performance in perspective. For instance, Bill James likes to use numbers that adjust for park effects.That can provide insight in comparing Joe DiMaggio, who had to hit it 450 feet to clear cf in old Yankee Stadium, to someone who played in a band box like the old Baker Bowl in Philadelphia.
- Secret wasian man - May 10, 2013 at 8:50 AM
Just further proof AL ball is inferior.
- baseballswami - May 10, 2013 at 10:25 AM
Sjm– I second what you said about the outfielders. I like Bryce in right and if that is his eventual place, then stop moving him around. If right is Werth's landing spot to play out his deal, do it now.

Onto the Cubs. They have 2 impact everyday players in Castro/Rizzo, both can be really good, but streaky. They struggled early in the season, but Rizzo seams to be stablizing. Jeff Smaradja (I have no idea how to spell that) is their best pitcher and he can be tough (he pitched well against us last year). Getting to the bullpen early is the key.. if Marmol is in the game, then the Cubs have raised the white flag. It will be interesting to see if there is any leftover angst from last year's dust up with Bo and Quirk. I was at all of those games and it was an absolute white wash. Cubs had no chance.

Bullpen ERA for May is a healthy 0.00.

Check out Harrisburg last nite. Paul Demny and Eric Krole combined for a no hitter although Demny gave up i unearned run.

1 unearned run.

The HR by Tulasosopo was on a well-located pitch, whatever else it didn't have going for it, including the hitter's good luck.I didn't think that Haren would overcome his early season problems, so congrats to Dan!As for the discussion on a pitcher's W-L record, look who's #2 on the staff in wins!

And to do him justice, that would be Eric Krohl.
- Candide - May 10, 2013 at 11:53 AM
Funny, a hitter's statistic we all like is OPS. It's becoming more and more prevalent; you see it in a batter's stats during broadcasts, they put it up on the Jumbotron when he comes up to the plate.And yet we don't see its opposite, i.e., pitcher's OPS against. Instead, we continue to see pitchers' batting averages against players/league. "The league is batting .248 against Shlobotnick…"OPS is a far more meaningful stat than batting average. So why no love for OPS against?
- Eric - May 10, 2013 at 12:13 PM
"I like Bryce in right and if that is his eventual place, then stop moving him around. If right is Werth's landing spot to play out his deal, do it now."Isn't Harper in right at the moment simply because no bench guys can cover right as well while Werth's hurt?
- bowdenball - May 10, 2013 at 12:37 PM
Candide-I see OPS against all the time. I'm not sure why people feel the need to denigrate stats like FIP or xFIP and the people who use them. They add to some people's understanding and enjoyment of the game. If you don't want to bother learning or understanding them, don't. No reason to lecture about how you don't like them because you "watch the games." The people who like advanced stats watch the games too. You can do both- in fact I think doing both is a sign that someone loves the game enough to want to learn and think about it more.As far as "letting you know when they decide who wins the World Series based on who has a high or low FIP": well that's not really the point of the stat. The point is to separate pitching performance from defensive performance to learn more about the pitchers' performance independent of the defense behind them or the park. However, the top four teams in 2012 in FIP all made the playoffs, along with the 7th, 8th and 9th teams. Two of those teams played in the World Series. None of the bottom 9 in FIP made the playoffs.

I think Harper will move to right and Werth to left starting next season. They're deferring to the vet for now, but ultimately the difference in their arm strength will outweigh that consideration.
- ehay2k - May 10, 2013 at 1:20 PM
LOL Natsfan1a!And then there is SnapChat!All the stats are fine in my book – they generally add to the discussion. However, when some elaborate stat is used to bludgeon a player's worth (UZR is my least fave in this regard), then I tend to tune them out. GYFNG and beat those Cubs! And if Marmol IS in the game, please do NOT swing at 3-0 pitches, especially with the bases loaded!
- JD - May 10, 2013 at 2:10 PM
bowdenball, Thanks for introducing some sanity to the discussion. ehay2k, None of the stats are particularly elaborate; some of the stats are more reliable than others but the general idea is that they introduce some objectivity to a discussion.

I believe in that baseball-reference table, ERA+ is ERA adjusted for park.I'm not really sure what people mean by elaborate vs. not elaborate. Some of them are fairly involved mathematically, but I haven't encountered any yet that are elaborate on that front.I do think some are exceedingly esoteric, but that doesn't mean they aren't useful.I do think it can be misleading to think of any one given stat as operating in a vacuum. When it comes to playing an actual game, any given player's tendencies for a given stat is constantly interacting with the tendencies of opposing players.In a similar vein, I think stats are probably very helpful when it comes to considering how to improve a team. If you analyze the interaction of all the stats of the players on your team, statistical weaknesses might be discernible. So, you seek out players who are strong in those areas and do what you can to develop or acquire them.All that said, I really do think for fans, it's entirely a matter of whether or not you're into this sort of thing. If you're a strong data analyst, you could probably crunch the numbers for a full team and get a sense of whether, say, Werth statistically is better or worse fit than Harper for right field. But, while perhaps interesting, just looking at how player A's OPS compares to player B's OPS strikes me as not being all that meaningful regarding which is the better overall player.

Eric said…Isn't Harper in right at the moment simply because no bench guys can cover right as well while Werth's hurt?May 10, 2013 8:13I would think Bernadina can cover RF pretty well also. His arm certainly isn't up to Harper's standard but neither is any other outfielder on the Nats roster.
- ehay2k - May 10, 2013 at 3:35 PM
Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that all stats are elaborate, but there certainly are some that are. And, since most stats end up incorporating things that are subjective factors (like errors that get called which make runs unearned), I believe that in general they need to be taken with a grain of salt.
- ehay2k - May 10, 2013 at 3:36 PM
And, if a pitcher makes the error, why is the run unearned? That has always bugged me.
- Sec. 3, My Sofa - May 10, 2013 at 5:37 PM
because once he pitches, he becomes a fielder, and if he can't catch a ball, or make a clean throw to first, that doesn't speak to his pitching. It doesn't matter that it's his own error–it has no more to do with his pitching than anybody else's errors do. Wild pitches are his fault as a pitcher; passed balls are not.

If Linda had a theme song, it would start, "Well I was born in a small town..." Growing up in Prague, Oklahoma, a "Mayberry" kind of place, Linda dabbled in poetry, made up stories in her head, and read every book she could get her hands on. Though she received encouragement from her high school English teacher, she never considered fiction writing a viable career.
When a former neighbor, award-winning author Sharon Sala, began selling romance novels, Linda realized small-town girls could be writers, too. Linda joined a writers' group and wrote persistently while also raising a family and working full time.
A nurse for 14 years, Linda switched to education in 1985 and accepted a teaching position in a small rural school. In 1995, her colleagues voted her "teacher of the year," an honor she treasures greatly.
One of the most unique experiences of her life came when she and husband, Gene, delivered their third child at home with only the two of them in attendance. She's happy to report that son, Cody, suffered no ill effects from this insanity.
Still a small-town girl, she lives with Gene on their farm/ranch outside Seminole, Oklahoma. Resident dogs include a coonhound, a stray that came to stay, and Mugsy, an adorably obnoxious rat terrier that climbs trees. The cat, Dynasty, loves dogs, never climbs trees, and has used at least three of her nine lives.
Linda's hobbies include reading, watching rodeo and football, and taking long walks in the woods behind her house. Readers may write to her at email@example.com.

Sebile Flatt Shad - $11.99 to $12.59

Customer Reviews Back to Top
Comments: Terrific lipless bait, I like the oil filled baits for fishing clear water when a stealthy bait is needed. Throws off a nice vibration that really seems to appeal to the lateral line.
From: Robert: Battle Creek, MI
Comments: Great bait. I wish TW still carried the suspending model.
From: Jeff: Crestview, FL
Comments: Awesome finish and slow rolls with great action. Had rolling issues trying to burn it though. Still catches fish!
From: Jason: San Diego, CA
Comments: I have been using the sebile baits for a long time. I love them because they will catch fish. I fished hard in the heat a couple of days ago and it was hard to even get a bite. I ran up on some Crappie hides in the middle of the lake in about nine feet of water. I started throwing the sebile flat shad white lady in the half ounce size. I caught 13 of the biggest crappie that I have ever seen. They ate it up. I took the sebile and replaced the rear hook with a feathered treble hook and they jumped all over it. I would reel up to the hide and slow down and let the bait fall slowly and they would hit it on the way down. I don't think there is nothing that won't bite the sebile. No matter what time of the year when the bite gets tough tie you on a sebile flat shad and start cranking.
From: William: Hohenwald, TN
Comments:The best there is. I have used every lipless crankbait that is known to man and the Sebile Flatt Shad in the half ounce is the best that you can tie on your line. The vibration can be felt at any speed. You can slow it down to a crawl and bump the bottom and you can burn it wide open in shallow water and the bass will eat it up. I now own 17 of these baits in mainly two colors. I love the sea chrome blue and the white lady. I have been looking for the white lady in the half ounce size and I haven't been able to find any. Please, Tackle Warehouse find me some. If you want to catch fish spring, summer, fall, or winter pick you up some of the sebile flat shad and you will be so impressed with what you feel on the end of your line that you won't even remember what you paid for them. Tackle Warehouse has the best price and selection that you can find anywhere. These guys are the best and there is no need for you to look anywhere else. Thanks a lot for the great service that I have grown to expect from you guys.
From:William: Hohenwald, TN
Comments:I have never used a better lipless crankbait in my life. I own every brand known to man. I was sauger fishing and jigging for fish with blade baits when I thought to myself, I am going to try the Sebile shad. I dropped the smallest size to the bottom and started catching them.
From:William: Hohenwald, TN
Comments:I have almost wore out the small blue back Flatt Shad I bought from this site last year. I have caught everything on it including bass, crappie, yellow bass, bluegill, rockfish (striper), and catfish. It has started to leak water into the oil chamber now, but it continues to catch fish. I LOVE THESE LURES.

A Lake Worth man was arrested after allegedly trying to lure his teenage neighbor for sex by using explicit text messages.
Bryan Kelly, 33, faces charges of solicitation of a minor and traveling to meet a minor following Wednesday's arrest.
IMAGES: Fla. counties with the most sexual predators
Kelly sent text messages to a phone number he thought belonged to his 14-year-old neighbor, not knowing she shared the phone with her mother, according to the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office.
The arrest report indicated that once the mother contacted PBSO on Monday, agents set up a sting Wednesday in which an officer texted from another number, claiming to be the 14-year-old girl. Once that conversation began, Kelly allegedly sent a series of text messages that included questions like "Would you play with my ****?" and "Are you OK that I'm 33?"
According to the arrest report, Kelly also texted the girl about "playing with your *****" and told her not to wear a bra or panties, then asked "can we **** each other?"
Kelly and the agent posing as the teen agreed to meet, but when he showed up, he was arrested.
Kelly, who according to the report is 6 foot 4 and 500 pounds, had told the girl not to tell her mom, the report said.
He remains behind bars on $200,000 bond.

Comerica Park, home of the Tigers, with downtown Detroit in the background.
DETROIT — Good afternoon from Motown, a city with a proud baseball tradition that has already been at the center of plenty of news this season. Armando Galarraga's should-have-been perfect game. Ernie Harwell's passing. Dontrelle Willis' trade.
In the middle of it all is a pretty good Tigers team that currently sits at 33-29 and sends an intriguing young right-hander to the mound tonight in Max Scherzer. Picked up from the Diamondbacks in the three-way Curtis Granderson trade that included the Yankees, Scherzer is only 2-6 with a 6.30 ERA but since returning from a minor-league stint has looked much better. He struck out 14 Oakland A's in only 5 2/3 innings in his first start back in the majors. (Hmm, sound like anyone we know?)
The Nationals counter with John Lannan, who is coming off a rough outing (five runs, 10 hits in 4 2/3 innings against the Pirates) but has overall pitched well since overcoming his elbow/forearm issue.
No Stephen Strasburg in this series, but that doesn't mean he's out of the spotlight entirely. Sports Illustrated revealed today that he's on the cover of this week's issue. If he gets hammered by the White Sox Friday night, you'll know who to blame.

I'm actually curious to see how well Dunn hits tonight. Yes he's been tearing it up lately but he's also made comments about how the switch to first base has helped him keep his head in the game defensively as well as offensively. I just hope riding a bench between at bats doesn't have an adverse effect.

See Uncle Jimmy has been readin' and listenin' to us. A goooooooooooooooood lineup! Suppose Fox bought up the Saturday game coming, in order to catch Wee Willie at DH? Maybe not.Good to see that they're working on a new contract for AD. Last time I checked he had the best defensive stats in the infield. Maybe Uncle Jimmy will keep him in the game late; Kennedy has more errors than he does!

Lannan. Yeeezsh. He keeps digging a hole for himself. Laird 2 for 2?When Detwiler comes back, I think Lannan needs to re-learn his craft in AAA. Sorry John.

Morse. BAM!
- K.D. - Jun 16, 2010 at 12:33 AM
Morse just made up for his poor decision to throw home. Nice. Good pick at first also. The Detroit announcers keep saying as long as Lannan won't pitch inside the Tigers will keep looking away.

There may not be a place in the lineup for Morse when playing in NL ballparks, but for these AL games he must be in!
- JayB - Jun 16, 2010 at 12:37 AM
Morse should be playing RF and Roger in CF….trade Morgan fast before everyone else in baseball notices how many steps he has lost.
- Doc - Jun 16, 2010 at 12:37 AM
Uncle Jimmy thinks that there is no place for Morse on a regular NL lineup basis. Right, he provides better offense than anyone in the OF except The Hammer!!! Someone needs to sit Uncle Jimmy down for a long talk on run production.

KD – Morse knew a slow runner was on 3rd. He made a poor throw. If the throw was on target he easily would have had the out.LANNAN, what is up with him???
- Les in NC - Jun 16, 2010 at 12:58 AM
Is the 'Hammer' that much of a threat to run at 1st base? He has drawn alot of attention over there, and even 1 pitchout! Or maybe that's Sherzer's way of throwing off the timing of the batters? At any rate, Scherzer is doing his best Strasburg imitation by striking out 9 in 5 innings. I knew we could find a way to make an 'ace' out of him.

Ugly and getting uglier. Let's go bullpen!
- Les in NC - Jun 16, 2010 at 1:13 AM
"Well, you had to see that coming."I DID see that coming. I imagine everyone saw it coming. IT begs the question why Riggs left Lannan in the game at all for the 5th inning. Lannan is not 100%, he was already over 90 pitches, and Batista is rested…

Oh this is just great, here comes Zumaya.
- K.D. - Jun 16, 2010 at 1:56 AM
Nice job by Walker & Burnett, I can't figure Lannan out, his struggles seem more mental than physical.

Really feels like old times. An impotent offensive team when under pressure. The Nats roll over.
- Richard - Jun 16, 2010 at 3:14 AM
Looking on the brighter side, it's surprising the Nats have done as well as they have so far this year considering their starting pitching. Marquis and Detwiler = nada. Olsen is injured, after showing some great moments. Lannan is not the same pitcher we've enjoyed watching up to this point. Livo has been great — in many ways. (I hope he's never dissed again by the Nats.) Anyway, with all that, the Nats have battled and are near .500. Pretty amazing.

Is there any useful info in the dmesg or xorg.log output ?
After installing lucid alpha 2 and enable xorg-edgers, radeon OSS is working great! i have kms and dri2 and i am runing some opengl test now. WOW!! great progress.
But what i cant understand is that if i change the kernel from 188.8.131.52 (lucid a2 default) to 2.6.33.rc4 my screen turns black, ubuntu doesn't boot.
I tried 3 workarounds without success:
1) Edit /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and add radeon. Run update-initramfs -k all -u
2) Add R600_rlc.bin and R700_rlc.bin to /lib/firmware/radeon/ and to /lib/firmware/2.6.33-020633rc4-generic/radeon/
3) Edit /etc/modprobe.d/radeon.conf and add options radeon modeset=1
any ideas?
Is there any useful info in the dmesg or xorg.log output ?
i test this on my r300 test system to yesterday.
2.6.33 do not end in an blackscreen only you can also press key ctrg-alt-f2
then you have a init3? console!,,,
yes on my system to 2.6.33 fails to start X on this setting.
to blacklist your kernel for the next boot
just edit your
vi /boot/grub/grub.cfg
put some '#' in the 2.6.33 session..
Your kernel isn't using KMS. The 33rc4 isn't reacting on radeon.modeset=1 on my setup. I created this diff which have to be applied on top of /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-top/framebuffer:Code:[ 49.093468] [drm] radeon defaulting to userspace modesetting.
