Sept. 2, 2011 -- Two U.S. kids -- an Indiana boy and a Pennsylvania girl -- are the first human cases of a new swine flu bug.
Both kids fully recovered after suffering usual flu symptoms.
The two children had no contact with each other. Each caught the new flu in separate transmission events. The boy's case was reported on Aug. 17; the girl's on Aug. 24.
"We have been able to detect a novel flu virus," CDC spokesman Tom Skinner tells WebMD. "It is an H3N2 swine flu virus that has picked up a gene from 2009 H1N1. We are investigating whether human-to-human spread is occurring."
Human-to-human spread appears possible, as the boy seems to have been infected by a caretaker who had contact with pigs. But so far there's no evidence of sustained person-to-person spread. A preliminary investigation in Indiana found no spread of the virus beyond the infected boy.
This is far from the first time humans may have caught swine flu viruses directly from pigs. The CDC knows of 21 cases from December 2005 to December 2010.
But it's the first time the 2009 swine flu virus currently circulating in humans has recombined with an older swine flu bug. The new flu is a reassortment in which the old swine H3N2 virus incorporates a single structural gene from the 2009 H1N1 virus, says CDC virologist Mike Shaw, PhD.
This 2009 H1N1 gene is unlikely to make the bug cause more severe disease or to make it more easy to catch, he tells WebMD.
Preventing Swine Flu
Pigs actually got the H3N2 virus from humans. It's the flu bug that caused human disease in the 1990s.
Because the "H" and "N" components of flu bugs stimulate immune responses, many adults may already have at least partial immunity to the new H3N2 swine flu.
Not so for children. Both of the kids who came down with the new bug were under 5 years of age.
Both kids got their flu shots last September -- but it did not protect them against the new swine flu. The CDC confirms that the current flu shot is not expected to protect against the new virus.
While human spread doesn't yet seem to be happening, the CDC is on high alert. It's not yet flu season, but it is state fair season.
Shaw warns that people who come into contact with pigs -- particularly children -- may be susceptible to the new bug. People especially susceptible to flu -- including very young kids, pregnant women, the elderly, and people with suppressed immune systems -- should avoid contact with swine.
Why? If pigs in Pennsylvania and Indiana are infected, it's likely that pigs across North America are carrying the new flu bug.
"It is almost like the entire swine population in North America is one big herd," Shaw says. "That is because of movement the animals at many stages of production from breeding to slaughter."
People cannot get any kind of swine flu bug from eating pork.

Report: White House could blunt impact of sequestration - at least for a while
Thursday - 11/8/2012, 4:19pm EST
Patrick Lester, director of federal fiscal policy, OMB Watch
With each passing day sequestration, the automatic across-the-board budget cuts set to take effect in January, creep closer to reality.
The $1.2 trillion in cuts over 10 years — $109 billion next year alone, split equally between Defense and civilian agencies — have led many budget and defense analysts to warn of a looming fiscal cliff. But a new report from independent watchdog group OMB Watch suggests the White House has a few tools at its disposal to blunt the impact of the cuts.
OMB's apportionment authority
The first is the Office of Management and Budget's authority to control the rate of federal spending over the course of the fiscal year, known as apportionment.
"Congress, constitutionally, has the authority to set the budget, but once they pass those appropriations bills, it is up to the administration — the President — to decide how that money will be spent over the course of the year," said Patrick Lester, the director of federal fiscal policy at OMB Watch and the report's author, in an interview In Depth with Francis Rose.
If Congress and the administration agree on a broad budget deal early next year — even after sequestration goes into effect — it's likely the cuts will wind up having only a short-term effect, according to the report.
Essentially, in the first few weeks after sequestration is triggered, OMB could ramp up spending "just enough to prevent those cuts from really biting," Lester said.
At most, though, that only buys the administration about a month, he said. OMB's legal authority to use apportionment in this way is also unclear, the report cautioned. In fact, under current law, OMB is directed to use apportionment to prevent overspending in the early part of a fiscal year, the report stated.
Agencies can shift funds
Agencies, themselves, also have some options to "cushion the impact" of sequestration, the report noted. Once Congress appropriates funding, agencies are tasked with obligating those funds to specific programs or projects.
The agencies control the rate at which funds are obligated over the fiscal year, and many agencies are allowed to carry over unobligated funds from one year to the next.
Other methods of shifting funding include transfers, which move funding between appropriated line-items and reprogramming, which allows managers to shift funding within an appropriation.
According to the report, both methods offer "substantial ability to redirect cuts away from sensitive areas of spending to other areas that be less sensitive in the first few weeks of the year."
None of these methods would exactly be unfamiliar territory for agencies.
Lester told Federal News Radio because of the increasing prevalence of last-minute continuing resolutions, agencies are now "quite used to basically pinching their pennies at the beginning of the fiscal year waiting to see what that final bill looks like."
Personnel costs present challenge
However, federal managers will face constraints in attempting to shield federal employees from cuts.
"It is more difficult to delay spending on employee compensation and benefits because these costs are incurred throughout the year," Lester wrote in the report. And managers often have less flexibility to reprogram funds because "some budget accounts are so overwhelmingly dominated by personnel-related costs that avoiding personnel cuts becomes difficult, if not impossible."
That leaves layoffs, known as reductions-in-force (RIF), and furloughs on the table, Lester wrote in the report.
However, in the continuing resolution approved by Congress in September, lawmakers created an escape hatch of sorts, allowing OMB to accelerate spending in the early months of the year to avoid furloughs. Also, the law, which created the sequester, has allowed the President to exempt military personnel costs.

The Founder Institute is the world's largest entrepreneur training and startup launch program, helping aspiring founders across the globe build enduring technology companies.
In our four-month, part-time program, you can "learn by doing" and launch a company through structured training courses, practical business-building assignments, and expert feedback. Plus, you are not required to quit your day job to participate.
Early Admissions Deadline: 2015-06-21 |
Final Admissions Deadline: 2015-07-12 |
Curriculum Calendar: 2015-07-21 until 2015-10-20 |
(not in New York? See the full list of enrolling semesters here)
Starting a company is an arduous and lonely journey, and technology entrepreneurship is a constantly evolving discipline. The Founder Institute's vision is to "Globalize Silicon Valley" and help entrepreneurs across the globe launch meaningful and enduring technology companies.
It's very hard to judge a new founder by the quality of their idea, because there is too much subjectivity involved. To apply to the Founder Institute, you do not need to provide an idea. Instead, we use a proprietary Predictive Admissions Test to find the most talented people.
To date, over 30,000 people have applied, and the Founder Institute can predict with 85% accuracy somebody's potential to become a successful technology entrepreneur. In addition, we have found that there are great entrepreneurs everywhere. Our revolutionary entrepreneur research has been featured in The New York Times, CNN, and Forbes.
The best way to learn is by doing. Through our structured, step-by-step curriculum of weekly training courses and challenging business-building assignments, you graduate the Founder Institute as the Founder of an enduring company.
The Founder Institute curriculum was rigorously built using Silicon Valley best practices, and each training course is led by members of the Founder Institute's worldwide network of over 4,200 entrepreneur Mentors, that are founders themselves. Our curriculum is all action, and no theory.
See the New York Summer 2015 (Configuration) Semester Curriculum, or see sample Founder Institute session.
Silicon Valley is a collaborative ecosystem, where people of all skill sets, backgrounds, and experiences share ideas, best practices, metrics, and feedback. Why? Because helping each other and sharing expertise leads to faster iteration, more efficient innovation, and faster market growth.
To create and foster a similar collaborative culture in markets across the globe, the Founder Institute employs a unique Shared Liquidity Pool where everyone shares equity in the companies formed from each semester. Here's how it works - each Graduate contributes 3.5% of their company equity in Warrants to a 10-year Bonus Pool with other peers from the current semester. When a liquidity event occurs, the returns for each cohort are then distributed as follows:
The Founder Institute is committed to building local startup ecosystems, and when one Graduate succeeds, the local cohort receives the vast majority of the upside.
The Institute keeps costs low, bets on the success of the companies created, and shares in the returns.
"If you're lucky enough to get accepted and graduate from the program, these costs are negligible. In fact, I would go as far as saying that this is the best money you'll ever spend on your business" - Gary Herman, Silicon Valley Graduate (@garyjherman)
Graduating from the Founder Institute is challenging. First, only roughly 30% of applicants are accepted to the program. Then, less than 40% of accepted Founders generally make it through the program to Graduation. Reasons for not graduating differ, but each Founder who leaves is invited to join a future semester, when they are ready to launch a business. Read the review of a recent FI Dropout here.
In order to graduate, a Founder needs to develop an engaging idea for a technology company that is validated by the program mentors, plan out the business, work on an offering, incorporate their company, and complete all of the required assignments - all within a four month timeframe.
At the conclusion of the program, founders have a company, and path to growth fully validated by experienced startup founders. In addition, they have developed crucial leadership skills and a strong network, are ready to pitch prospective investors and team members, and have access to:

Blood drive reflects the best of communityJanuary 01,2013If anyone needed their faith in humanity restored after the tragedy in Connecticut, the Gift-of-Life Marathon may have been the perfect tonic.
Just four days after the unfathomable Sandy Hill horror, nearly 2,000 people, from age 16 to past-80, rolled up a sleeve, submitted to a needle and gave a pint of hope, charity and kindness in the form of life-giving blood. People filed into the four sites on faith that we had solved problems that led to four-, five- and six-hour waits in 2011.
After last years drive, itself an amazing exhibition of giving but a sign that the community might be outstripping the ability to pull off a seamless event, organizers at the Red Cross, WJJR and Green Mountain Power took several deep breaths and reconsidered the events future. We agreed the waits were unacceptable, and that the drives growth had been so dramatic that we had to consider major changes.
After lots of soul-searching, hundreds of conversations with each other, volunteers and donors, the Red Cross concluded that, though we were pushing the limits, they would work to give Rutland one last shot at the national record.
Even before we announced this years goal, Rutlanders and Rutland businesses began lining up to help:
City Resident Tony Cirelli contacted us in August August! to let us know his students at Burr and Burton Academy would be there in force if we held the GOLM once again. Other schools quickly followed suit.
Folks at Omya, Long Trail Brewing Co., Westminster Crackers and Vermont Country Store offered whatever we wanted for donor gift bags, and dozens of others stepped up, too.
The Paramount, College of St. Joseph, Rutland American Legion and Elks Club offered space and staff to host the drive.
Once we announced the goal and plans to improve the drive, community support snowballed. There were some questions, no doubt, about whether wed be able to dramatically improve on last years number and, just as important, last years execution. But that didnt stop the groundswell of folks lining up to help.
More businesses stepped forward with gift bag items. City leaders, including Rutlands police and fire chiefs and Mayor Christopher Louras, helped spread the word.
Dozens of friends and supporters posted on Facebook and Twitter. News media, from our local Rutland Herald and weeklies to the states TV stations and even WJJR radio competitors, provided broad and deep coverage, many of them also offering significant advertising support. And more than 1,800 people made appointments.
Your readers know the result: The Red Cross and our volunteers succeeded in producing a far-smoother, more efficient event than last year and we collected 1,954 pints, making it the second-largest community blood drive in U.S. history, and a bright spot during one of the bleakest periods in memory. We set a national record for the number of individual donors to give blood on a single day. More than 300 people donated for the first time, including dozens of 16-year-olds.
Whether we broke the pint record or not, the drive succeeded in its ultimate goal, to significantly bolster the regional blood supply, and several unspoken ones to bring the community together, build bonds and local pride, and put aside all differences, at least for one day.
Were often asked how a community as small as Rutland can even set such outrageous goals, or donate 1,954 pints, and we always give the same answer there is a special spirit in the blood of this community. That spirit lives on in everyone who helped and, in that spirit, we say thanks, and the blood recipients and their families say thanks for the gift that this great little community has given to uncounted individuals and families.

You again? Dice-K, Minor match up once more
When Mets right-hander Daisuke Matsuzaka and Braves left-hander Mike Minor square off on Monday night in the opener of a four-game series at Citi Field, each will have a degree of familiarity with his opponent even greater than when division rivals usually play each other.
Matsuzaka and Minor matched up in their most recent starts, on Tuesday at Turner Field in an eventual 5-4 Atlanta win. New York manager Terry Collins, however, said that such recent action lends an advantage to neither pitchers nor batters.
"Years and years ago, this is how it used to be. You used to go on a road trip and play two teams and then come back and play the same two teams. The answer to that is no, I don't think [seeing them so soon makes a difference]," Collins said. "If one of the games, you don't have your best stuff, and the next game you do, it's two completely different guys. I don't necessarily think it makes a big difference. Now, it can work the opposite, too -- one day you're sharp, and the next day you're not."
Both pitchers fall under that first category -- not having their best stuff. In that prior matchup, Matsuzaka (3.72 ERA, 1.35 WHIP) lasted five innings, yielding five runs on seven hits and three walks. Minor (4.73 ERA, 1.54 WHIP) gave up four runs on nine hits and a walk in 4 1/3.
More generally, Matsuzaka will seek to work deeper than he has of late. He has a 4.81 ERA and 1.40 WHIP in his seven starts and hasn't tossed more than six innings in any of them. Minor, whose ERA has jumped more than a run and a half in the last month, will try to regain the form that allowed him to turn in quality starts in six of his first seven outings this season.
Teams will say that any series with a divisional opponent is a big one, but that's especially true for the Mets this week. They trail the National League East-leading Braves by double digits, and an effort not significantly better than last week's -- when Atlanta swept the three-game set -- could help lead to the dissolution of this group of players.
General manager Sandy Alderson said over the weekend that he plans to re-evaluate the club's Trade Deadline status around the All-Star break.
"We got the Braves four more times. I'm not saying we have to sweep them, but we have to win some games," Collins said on Friday. "Use this time to take a positive step forward, have a good homestand, go into the break, get rested, hopefully get a little healthy in some spots, come out of the break and play better. There's no other way to go about it."
Braves: Team, BJ see streaks end on Sunday
The Braves' 3-1 loss to the D-backs in their series finale was unusual for a couple of reasons. First, it was a loss -- Atlanta's first since June 26, snapping a nine-game winning streak.
B.J. Upton finished 0-for-4 with three strikeouts to snap his career-best 11-game hitting streak, during which he batted .283/.313/.457. With two on and two out in the bottom of the seventh, Arizona righty Evan Marshall got him swinging on a changeup to end the threat.
Atlanta is 6-3 against the Mets and 24-14 against NL East teams this season.
Mets: Carlyle returns as Niese hits disabled list
With Jon Niese being placed on the disabled list to give his left shoulder a rest -- the team called it a strain, but Collins indicated that it's more just general soreness -- right-handed reliever Buddy Carlyle got the call to Queens for the second time this season.
Carlyle, who recorded a 2.16 ERA and 1.17 WHIP with Triple-A Las Vegas, threw 4 1/3 scoreless innings across two games during his previous stint in the Majors in late May and early June. He struggled of late in the Minors, yielding five runs in nine innings on 10 hits and six walks. All of the runs scored on homers.
Before his May callup, Carlyle, 36, pitched in parts of seven Major League seasons with the Padres, Dodgers, Braves and Yankees. He hadn't seen the bigs since 2011.
He is the obvious choice to be removed from the 25-man roster when Dillon Gee (strained right lat) returns from the DL to make Niese's start on Wednesday.
Worth noting
• Despite taking two of three from the Rangers over the weekend, the Mets have lost eight of their last 11 games. They are 19-22 at Citi Field.
• One big reason the Braves are so far ahead of New York in the standings? They are 17-10 in one-run games, whereas the Mets are 11-20 in such contests.

PASTOR'S COLUMN: How to work your way to Heaven
What is the lowest limit on good works we have to do in order to pass God's righteousness test and make sure we don't go to hell? It seems like a pretty important question. We want to get through life with the maximum amount of fun and self-indulgence, but we also don't want to wind up blowing our chances at eternal life. So what is it? Is there a set number of puppies we need to rescue? Is there a set amount of money we need to give to a church or something? Does our encouraging-words-to-snide-comments ratio need to be at least .672? Or is there some super-work we can do that gets us all the way there, like save a life, and then we've got some wiggle room to still think naughty but entertaining thoughts?The people around the Sea of Galilee heard Jesus talking about eternal life, and so they asked him, "What must we do, to be doing the works of God?" (John 6:28) So here it's coming, right? Jesus, the Son of God, is going to tell it to us straight what we need to do. Hopefully the niceness-to-snideness ratio requirement comes out a little lower, maybe around .5.But Jesus instead drops a bomb that his hearers can't accept, and neither can most of us. John 6:27: "Jesus answered them, 'This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.'" It turns out that there's no work or amount of works good enough to push us over the edge. What God requires in order that we receive eternal life is to believe in Jesus Christ. Jesus goes on in that passage to restate this truth in more and more provocative ways, until finally his hearers have had enough insult to their supposed goodness and many of them turn away from him. Of course some of us hear, "Believe in Jesus," and think, oh, of course. I believe in Jesus. I've never doubted his existence. But Jesus means something different than simple assent to his existence. He means to personally put one's trust in Jesus for life and forgiveness. He even uses the imagery of eating Jesus' flesh and drinking Jesus' blood - that is, feasting on Christ, making your life and well-being completely dependent on him. It's plain that Jesus is referring to faith in him here, not the sacrament of the Lord's Supper, since he spells out what he means clearly in 6:40, "everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day."So we can't work our way to heaven. There's no good deeds threshold to cross. The "work" that must be done is to receive God's grace through faith in Jesus Christ. Isn't that the best news imaginable?

found out few tests are missing deps (tested on Ubuntu):
pts/crafty - missing unzip
pts/espeak - missing unzip
pts/apache - missing libpcre3-dev
//_ Lazar Obradovic
Nope, nothing really. I never get the prompts nor these ever get installed.
I'm actually writing a tutorial for some of my colleagues and steps are:
1. Install default Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (just add OpenSSH support)
2.Update and upgrade
3. Instal PTS (this will install 4.6, but still)Code:$ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
4. Install test suite:Code:$ sudo apt-get install phoronix-test-suite
This one breaks with all the stuff I reported earlier, including this unzip/libpcre3-dev dependency.Code:$ phoronix-test-suite install universe-cli
Main issue was that sudo aptitude mishandling in install-ubuntu-packages.sh (saw that in dev thread? not sure it's the right place, though)

Virtue Spire™ Paintball Loader
The Virtue Spire is the next generation in loader technology with a shot activated sensor, jam-proof feeding system and a tool-less design that can be taken apart and reassembled in seconds. Not only is the Spire an aggressive, lightweight, and compact design, but it also holds more paint than the leading competitors.
The Spire is the first non-aftermarket product by Virtue, which allowed us to design and optimized the hardware and software from the ground up.
Fast and Jam-Proof Feeding
With an Intelligent Shot Activated G-Force sensor, the Spire sits at the top with the fastest feeding loaders in paintball, but speed doesn't count for much unless a hopper can also feed reliably without jams. The Spring Loaded Anti-Jam Paddle seamlessly prevents jams by sliding underneath and pushing jams out of the way before a pause in feeding occurs.
High Capacity in a Small Package
Play with a smaller profile thanks to the vertically stacked gearbox and the unique angular shape of the Spire. By housing the gearbox in a vertical stack inside of the Spire Drive™, the Spire has the lowest height, and narrowest front profile in paintball. Not only that, but the Spire's True 200™ rating is not just an optimistic product description--the Spire actually holds 200+ paintballs.
Fastest To Take Apart and Reassemble
Changing batteries, cleaning the hopper, and most importantly, putting it all back together again was never so easy. The Slide Lock Quick Release allows the back shell to be removed in less time than it takes to read this sentence. From there, all of the Spire internals are mounted on an internal tray, which is quickly removed with the slide of the convenient Tray Release Tab.
Soft on Brittle Paint
If the gun can shoot it, the Spire's Flex Cycle will feed it. The Flex Cycle's rubber arms have a soft touch, which feeds brittle paint with ease. The Spire has been tested successfully on high end tournament paints so brittle they break when dropped from knee height!
Monitor Paint Levels at a Single Glance
Never start a game with less than a full loader, and stop wasting precious time opening the lid to see how much paint is left during crucial moments. A translucent backshell allows the shooter to quickly view paint levels in a single glance, without revealing how much paint is in the loader to everyone else.
High Performance That's Easy to Use
Reload with ease thanks to the extra large wide mouth lid. Breathe a sigh of relief with the simple ôon/off" operation, featuring self-optimizing motor logic. This means more time playing on the field without fiddling with settings. But die-hard tweakers don't worry, as the Spire still has some adjustable settings for those who prefer to tinker.
Durable Construction
The Spire front and bottom shells are made of rugged glass-filled nylon, while the back shell is made from impact modified lexan.
Quick Change Speed Feed
The Spire Crown2 comes with its own built-in hinged lid for easy bag-reloading in the pits with a secure snap fit. When those rain clouds make an appearance, the Spire Crown2 Quick Release back shell allows for changing back and forth from Speed Feed to Lid in mere seconds.

Bought the innards of two exact same laptops. On both, the screen was missing. One was minus the RAM, hard drive, LCD, etc, etc (everything but the mainboard). The other had a fried mainboard. Punched a couple holes in my desktop case and started to improvise, etc... Wanted to convert it to a desktop... Noticed the mainboard had capacity for another stick of RAM, so went online to buy a stick of what I thought was DDR RAM SODIMM. Turns out it was DDR2, when I got it I tried to force it in and broke the mainboard ;) answered Jun 09 '10 at 04:49 Seb |
i forget the 8-pin connector on the motherboard. Well after 3 days i actually found out that it was that. By that time i already bought a new power supply since i thought that was the problem. But the keyboard was hole new to me answered Jun 09 '10 at 11:25 Livegeek done that myself, frustrating

26.11.2012 /
Jonny Walker, KTM's extreme Enduro talent from the UK added another trophy to his growing collection at the weekend with a victory in the Tough One's Little Brother in the notorious quarry in the Nantmawr Quarry, Shropshire, UK.
The event is billed as a taste of things to come in the main "Tough One" Extreme Enduro in January 2013 and it was Walker's first outing in the quarry on a weekend when the region also expected extreme weather conditions. He had planned to hone his skills at the location in anticipation of competition from big name riders like the UK's Graham Jarvis. But this was a day when the sun came out on the greasy and slippery condition and Walker took on the best and won.
His pre-race strategy was to follow the very experienced Jarvis for a few laps to learn the course and then to try and make a break. But by the second lap Walker decided he had taken enough of Graham's roost in the muddy conditions and took the lead with a fresh pair of goggles. Lapping at around 11-12 minutes, Walker pulled a cushion of just over one minute and then news came through that Jarvis had bent his front disc and was having brake problems.
Walker could now ease off and concentrate on maintaining a safe lead. After an hour, Paul Bolton slipped past Jarvis into second and got within two minutes of Walker, who then make his one and only fuel stop at a cost of just 15 seconds. He was able to consolidate his lead in the last hour, especially after Bolton, still in second place, ran into problems when his tire came off the rim and he was forced to withdraw. He then had an almost three minute lead over Jarvis in the final lap and carried the advantage with his KORR KTM 300 EXC to the finish line.
Jonny Walker: "I expected a big battle with Graham (Jarvis) here today and I'm sure without his brake problems I would have had to work much harder. I felt much better today than I have for a while and the two hours went really quickly and without any incidents. I'm now looking forward to the more extreme version in January knowing what to expect."
Julian Stevens (Team manager): "It was a great practice run today for Jonny (Walker) and good to finish the UK season how he started, with a win. Part of the reason to ride here today was to get our bike dialed in and ready for January's Tough One. Jonny reported that its working great and we won't change anything accept the tires! Now we switch back to Endurocross mode as the first round of the Indoor World Championship starts in two weeks in Lodz, Poland."

A's hope to repel AL West rivals in Game 2
Oakland's Parker to face Texas' Garza as Rangers try to gain ground
The current three-game series between the Athletics and the Rangers will not decide anything in the American League West, at least not yet, with the teams playing two more series over the final two months of the season.
But there is plenty at stake as they battle for control of the division. The Rangers' win in Friday's opener was their fifth straight, while the A's have lost three in a row, seeing their advantage shrink from six games to 2 1/2. After going more than a month without gaining ground in the race, Texas can do so for a fifth consecutive day Saturday afternoon in Oakland.
"There's two months of baseball yet to be played," A's manager Bob Melvin said before Friday night's game, "but I think in any series once you get into August, especially when you're playing your division rival in close proximity to you in the standings, it always takes on a little more importance.
"I think it makes for good fun that we have [the Rangers] here on the weekend right now. They're playing completely opposite the way they were playing a week ago. They get three walk-offs in a row [Monday through Wednesday] and then a good game out of [Yu] Darvish [on Thursday], so they're playing pretty well right now. It should make for an exciting series."
Rangers skipper Ron Washington did not express much concern about his team's deficit.
"All this series is about is us coming in here and playing our style of baseball," he said before Friday's 8-3 win. "We have to play our game; we don't need to be worrying about chasing clubs. We need to play the game the way it's supposed to be played."
Washington will hand the ball to Matt Garza on Saturday for the right-hander's third start with his new team. Garza (7-1, 2.95 ERA) has a 1.88 ERA for the Rangers, giving up three runs over seven innings in his last outing, against the Angels on Monday.
Overall, Garza owns a streak of eight consecutive quality starts, during which he has a 1.40 ERA and .205 opponents' average. That run includes an outing at Oakland on July 3, when he gave up one run over eight innings for the Cubs.
"He's a big-game pitcher," Washington said. "He never tries to hide what he is about. What I've seen is the way he was in Tampa Bay. He has a hammer, a changeup and he moves his fastball around. He makes quality pitches in quality situations."
The A's will counter with Jarrod Parker (6-6, 4.07), who endured an uncharacteristic bout of wildness Sunday against the Angels, walking a career-high seven over five rough innings. He had issued a total of six free passes over his previous five outings.
By allowing four runs in the first inning Sunday, Parker raised his ERA in the opening frame to 7.29 this season.
"I wasn't as in-command as I want to be," Parker said. "I don't think things were fixed at that point. I was kind of battling all day, but we made some great plays defensively, and I feel like I kind of let our guys down today, battling and walking guys."
Rangers: Rosales switches sides
The Rangers added infielder Adam Rosales to their roster after claiming him off waivers from the A's. Rosales had played for the A's since 2010, spending significant time at second base, third base and shortstop. He is a career .220 hitter with a .623 OPS, but assistant general manager Thad Levine praised Rosales for his versatility and energy.
"He was a Texas Ranger playing for the Oakland Athletics," Levine said. "He finally found his rightful home."
• Washington tied Bobby Valentine for the most wins by a manager in Rangers history, at 581.
"I'm not thinking about anything like that," Washington said before Friday's game. "I think I'll win two games. I don't know when it will happen, but we will win two games."
Athletics: An odd situation
The A's designated Rosales for assignment when they acquired Alberto Callaspo from the Angels, but they had mixed feelings about seeing him land with a division rival.
"It's weird," Melvin said. "We'd probably rather it be a different uniform, maybe in the National League, somewhere that we don't play. Everybody's pretty fond of Rosie, and the fact that he's in the big leagues again is good for him, definitely."
Rosales' move to the opposing side meant the A's had to change their signs. If the situation were reversed, would Melvin ask the player for signs?
"It depends on if we're playing them in close proximity," he said. "Like, I haven't asked Callaspo anything yet. I want him to get settled and so forth, but at some point in time I'll probably have that conversation."
• Josh Reddick was cleared to return to the lineup Friday and started in right field. He missed the team's previous game with a head injury.
Worth noting
• Parker has been solid in two starts against the Rangers this year, both on the road, holding them to five runs on nine hits over 14 innings.
• The Rangers' win Friday ended a four-game road losing streak. They have still lost seven of their last nine away from home.

First officer sworn in at new courthouse
Diana Jorgenson
Amanda Barnes-Turner was sworn in Nov. 12, as the newest member of Plumas County Sheriff's Office Reserve Unit at the new Plumas-Sierra Courthouse in Portola. It is the first swearing-in at the new building since it opened a year ago.
In a short ceremony with Sheriff Greg Hagwood presiding, Election Coordinator and Deputy Clerk-Recorder Marcy DeMartile swore the new reserve officer in.
Hagwood congratulated Barnes-Turner, as well as her husband, Mark Turner. Hagwood commented on how patient and determined Barnes-Turner was during the hiring process, which, he said, were excellent qualities to have in a peace officer.
He said she would undergo field and critical training as a next step, but expected that it would move faster due to her previous experience.
Barnes-Turner is a graduate of Quincy High School and attended Feather River College for two years.
"Growing up watching movies like 'Kindergarten Cop' and 'Lethal Weapon' piqued my interest in law enforcement. As I got older and my dreams were crushed from finding out real life is nothing like the movies, I found other reasons why law enforcement was the career I wanted to pursue," said Barnes-Turner.
"Law enforcement protects me and my loved ones, ensuring our safety and putting the bad guys behind bars. Law enforcement also possibly helps push people with troubled pasts in the right direction."
She credits Work Force Alliance and her family with helping her to complete and graduate from the Butte College Law Enforcement POST Academy in December 2009.
Friends and family, baby daughter Nicole and husband Mark among them, surrounded her during the courthouse ceremony — all of whom applauded her and wished her well.
Said Barnes-Turner's co-workers, Susan McLain and Cyndi Ruth, "We are so proud of her. She worked hard for this position."

Histoplasmosis is an infection that usually affects the lungs.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Histoplasmosis is caused by a specific fungus. People often become infected when they inhale the fungus. The fungus can become airborne in dust or debris during demolition projects. People can also come in contact with the fungus through contact with soil contaminated with bat or bird droppings.
Factors that may increase your chance of exposure to histoplasmosis include:
Not everyone who comes in contact with the fungus will develop an infection. Medical conditions that weaken your immune system, like HIV , can increase your chance of infection.
Histoplasmosis does not generally cause symptoms. Symptoms that may occur include:
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.

Pulmonary function tests and x-rays may be done to see how much your lungs have been affected.
The immune system can often remove the fungus. People who do not have symptoms or those who have mild symptoms do not need treatment.
Antifungal medication may be needed if symptoms last for more than 1 month.
If you have a suppressed immune system, like HIV, you may need life-long antifungal medication. The medication will help to prevent a recurrence of histoplasmosis.
If you might be exposed to bird or bat droppings, wear a face mask.

However things don't always go as planned and when my keyboard's attraction is too strong to resist I tend to set free a couple of lines of code to see if they can be useful to anybody else.
Some examples on my ohloh profile.
By the way, one of those projects is yapsy and has generated a few questions here. That's clearly not enough to know if it's actually useful, but enough to say that it's already a pain in the ** like so many great apps :)

This is a long overdue Ahoy to my fellow shipmates of the SubCommittee. Nice to see the crew is still active, and that many more have come aboard. It's been so long since I reached out to my fellow bubbleheads that I wasn't sure who's still active or not. Now that my kids teenage years are over and I enter life's 3rd chapter I'm hoping to blow the dust off the old fleet and get them wet again.
First off, many of you who remember me would remember my son Ed, who ya'll use to call "Little Sub Eddie" or "Sub Ed Squared". He's not so little anymore! So I thought it would be nice for you all who helped teach him the basics of R/C Submarine modeling to hear what the next generation is doing nowadays, because as you will see, the apple has not fallen far from the tree.
You may remember I was at the 2nd Annual Subregatta (my third if we count Sayerville in '91) while my wife was due any day with his birth. I was ordered to carry a "pager" (remember them?) by the Admiral in case she went into labor during that weekend in Groton. I mean, how much of a sub-driver can you be if you go to a Regatta with an overdue pregnant wife?? lol Ray Mason, who I travelled with for the first time, and many times afterwards, really demonstrated extreme patience with an expectant father who was trying to get his 70" DeBoer SEAVIEW trimmed and running properly. I also won awards that year as well, which still hang in my study to this day, '93 was a great year for me for many reasons. I had also met a lot of you.
As "Little Sub Eddie" grew up with a father (and friends like you) obsessed with all aspects of Submarines, after all I am a veteran of the silent service, QM2(SS) USS ULYSSS S. GRANT SSBN631, it was little wonder what he would grow into!. Year after year we came to Groton CT and Johnston RI as he grew older. He learned, and built his own 1/96 scale ALFA, heavily influenced by members of the SubCommittee like Ray himself, or Mike Dory, Skip Assay, Jim Butt, Jeff LaRue to name but a few who know us. I think he even stole Dave Merriman's heart when he replicated seagull poo on the rudder of his ALFA as he had seen on Dave's own boats. Something about young boys and poo! He also built a 1/96 BLUEBACK. Both boats share the WTC.
Anyway, again I'm reaching out to let those of you who know him, learn where he is today. He spent 4 years in High School in the NJROTC program eventually becoming CO of the unit. During his senior year, he attempted to get selected for Annapolis, and then the Merchant Marine Academy in hopes of obtaining a Naval Commission. But alas, even with two Congressional Nominations, the competition was too fierce with economy being the way it is, so many young men and women applying for the Service Academies.
Regardless the kid is determined to live his dream, of becoming a Submariner in the US NAVY. So I wanted all of you who know and have certainly help influence this "child of the SubCommittee", is that on this past Friday, February 17th, I got to see my son "Sub Eddie" graduate from RTC, Great Lakes. As I did 33 years earlier.
I would like all my fellow SubCommittee members, as well as active , reserve and veteran Submariners here also to welcome the newest member of the US Submarine Force, Naval RTC Graduate Fireman Edward O. Tordahl
Left Ribbon: The National Defense Service Medal, authorized by Executive Order 10448 currently from 11 September 2001 to a date to be determined in support of the Global War on Terrorism.
Right Ribbon: Navy Pistol Marksmanship Ribbon with "S" Device , The pistol ribbon is currently awarded for qualification on the 9mm Beretta M9 pistol in which the Navy issues the marksmanship ribbon in three levels — that of Marksman, Sharpshooter, and Expert. Ed qualified as sharpshooter, and is authorized to wear the S Device on the ribbon and appears as a bronze colored "S" for the Navy. FWIW, though quite familiar with a rifle, this was his very FIRST use of a pistol.
He is already down in Charleston, SC and will be attending Electricians Mate (EM) "A" School for 6 months which upon completion he will be automatically promoted to 3rd Class Petty Officer (NCO E4) and then attend 6 months of school at the Naval Nuclear Power School, followed by ANOTHER 6 months of training at Nuclear Power Training Unit (NPTU) which is a decommissioned Lafayette 627 Class FBM Submarine, either ex-Daniel Webster (MTS-626) or ex-Sam Rayburn (MTS-635). I'm hoping he gets the Webster (can anyone say Dave Merriman's old boat? lol) What a trip that would be.
As a Volunteer for Sub Duty, in a year and a half he will join the fleet aboard any one of the currently commissioned US Nuclear Submarines in the Fleet.
However, during the "A" school, he plans to enroll in the NAVY's STA-21 or Seaman to Admiral - 21 is the U.S. Navy's commissioning program for the 21st century and is designed to enable active-duty Sailors to get a college degree and become commissioned officers. Hopefully fulfilling his dream to one day command a 1:1 scale boat of his own. (Did anyone say BOAT TOURS??)
BTW, he ABSOLUTELY loves the NAVY and the career he's chosen.
See folk's, the circle is now complete; a true child of the SubComittee becomes a Submariner!
Hope to see ya'll soon!
Also...I'm on FB as "Ed Tordahl" if any shipmates care to hookup!

Making the first phone calls When someone dies at home or at work If your loved one was under medical care, be sure to notify the doctor. If you don't know the doctor's name, look for prescription bottles or medical bills. If the person was under the care of a hospice program, call the hospice organization instead of 911. Call the funeral director Call the employer Call the life insurance company Call Social Security and other organizations Gather important papers Executing the will Depending on the specifics of the estate, probate can be complicated and lengthy. As executor, you'll be responsible for carrying out your loved one's wishes according to the will, paying creditors and balancing the estate. There's no standard amount of time a probate lasts, but some states are initiating laws to expedite the process. Dying intestate - without a will Accessing bank accounts Finding help Resources:

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...y-original-sinWhat is the status on Mac and Linux?
Linux and Mac is something that was planned from the start. This is our engine, so we can do with it what we want. It had build targets for OpenGL (the graphics renderer on Mac and Linux) that actually worked at some point, but along the way we decided to postpone that support and focus on gameplay. We are still going to do this, but probably after the Windows version is finished. All the owners of Divinity: Original Sin, however, will receive these versions for free.
First, I never use CAPS, but you really REALLY are screwing up here and I feel the emphasis is essential.
Marketing lesson #1 GET THE FUCKING LINK RIGHT. I cannot stress this enough. The link to your Kickstarter page is http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/.../build-a-world I know you're busy bees making this game but you have two other links that are broken that I'm not going to fix for you.
Marketing lesson #2 in regards to Kickstarter. Not everyone will like your project, but that doesn't mean they won't support. $25 Euro is the minimum for me to get something?! You don't have a full product yet, I may be interested by the video demo that I cannot play myself (actually not really, this is like Sim City but harder, and I sucked donkey balls at Sim City), however I'de totally chip in $10 if I got a copy. But YOU DONT HAVE A REAL PRODUCT. Don't charge FULL PRICE for something that doesn't exist. Oh, AND YOU ARE TAKING IT AWAY FROM ME AFTER 6 MONTHS. We're going out on a limb to support someone who doesn't have something that really exists, be grateful!! Be VERY grateful! When you take something away from someone after charging them LOTS, that's being an ass. Most Kickstarter games give me a FULL copy for $10 that is mine FOREVER and I can usually download it as many times as I need at no extra cost.
Even though I wouldn't really play this game, the fact that it looks like something my partner would like and is supported on Linux makes me want to give you money. But I don't know what our life will be like when you release. I don't know if either of us will have time in those 6 months to play at all. I could be spending $25 and get nothing out of it, then have to spend it AGAIN just to see what I funded. When someone does a kickstarter for funding and then gives away the product, you can get away with higher prices a little more (but still probably won't work well).
#3 After people are GIVING you money, DONATING you your funding, you are MAKING MORE MONEY and NOT GIVING A PENNY back to the original funders. That's real douche behavior. Most kickstarters are supposed to FULLY FUND your project from start finish, INCLUDING SALARIES. You're not really doing that, but that's kinda the purpose of giving someone money before the product exists. On top of that, YOU'RE CHARGING THE BACKERS AGAIN AFTER SIX MONTHS!!!! AFTER THEY WENT OUT ON A LIMB AND GAVE YOU MONEY WELL BEFORE YOU GAVE THEM ANYTHING!!!!!!
In short, I'm not an idiot and there are other projects that won't try to squeeze me for every penny. Good luck, I sincerely mean that, and I hope you learn some lessons from this. Apologies for the yelling, you're not the only Kickstarter project to do this kind of thing, but it reeks of a lack of understanding on how Kickstarter works. It's also really miser behavior and that gets my goat.
yay!!!!!!!!!!1111111111Confirmed: Coming to Linux & Mac!
It's about time, but we are extremely happy to announce that Divinity: Original Sin will now definitely be coming to Mac & Linux. We will do everything we can to ensure that the release dates are going to coincide with the Windows PC release, but if that doesn't happen, it will be shortly after.
You could say that if it was trending towards say 75% or something. But this is trending towards 11% it has no chance at all to make it. Even if your efforts could increase the trend to 5 fold its current level it would still be a long shot and ofcourse your efforts can't make even a fraction of the difference needed to even get there. All linking to such projects does is disappoint people who actually expect to see more games coming to Linux.
Much better to link to Kickstarter projects that will actually make it such as Road Redemption which is trending towards 168% and will actually have its source code and art assets released for modders to play with(presumably without Unity's source code which they can't re-distribute).
Sanguine Nights' trend is actually down to 8% now. Which is why we shouldn't waste our time, energy and resources and projects like it.
For people wondering were I have my numbers from, they are from Kicktraq. In fact I have the Chrome addon so I don't even need to go to the Kicktraq website to see these things. I never back projects that are looking to fail. For game projects I only back them if they are looking to be successful(or on the cusp of being successful) AND have Linux support AND are going to be DRM-Free AND have interesting concepts and/or by development studios I want to support.

The better question is why is he linking to a game that has no chance of being released for the amount they are asking?
Shadowrun: Returns will be Steam only to non-backers and they made horrible compromises in game mechanics just to be able to afford to send out the physical rewards.
Expeditions: Conquistador is now over a month late, but rather than fixing the massive amount of bugs from their beta they are working on multiplayer.
Legends of Eisenwald took a loan out from a Russian loan shark, sorry, producer and will be delayed until September.
All three of these kickstarters asked for more money than "TeamRavenous" and are now clearly out of money, either due to rank amateurism in not knowing how to budget properly or simply over selling what they could possibly deliver.

Insulation for Floor Heating
For especially cold rooms with slab subfloors, consider installing this 6mm cork to add a thermal break between the heating elements and the slab. This will help lower the startup time of the system. Installing a programmable thermostat will help even more as they learn to compensate for the startup time.
