1/20/11 – Day Two of Phillies Phantasy Camp – afternoon
"You Are Here… on your way to lunch" As I started typing this, I realized I omitted a couple items from the morning workout and drills. Along with the infield, outfield, pitching and batting drills, there was a baserunning workout with the new third base coach for the Phillies, Juan Samuel. Ashburn Field was not quite up to par for the groundskeeper's standards, and they wanted to save it until the afternoon games. So our baserunning clinic involved us rooks huddling around Sammy at home plate. He spoke about the basics of running starting from home plate and moving from station to station. Baserunning just seems natural: run straight. If the ball went further than you expected, turn at the next base and run straight again. Repeat and rinse if necessary. OK, obviously there is much more to that, but it's incredible to hear it from an expert who ruled the base paths in the '80's. For the rest of the camp, when I did find myself hustling down the line, I found myself recalling Sammy's tips, and most importantly, actually stayed on feet. Right before Scott Palmer announced that lunch was served, we had a quick BP/fly ball-shagging session on Schmidt field. I met a great fellow named John in rightfield. He had told me he had been really enjoying reading the blog. We stood and chatted for a while before I headed in for a couple swings. After a few hacks, one of the many player representatives stepped up next to the cage and simply said, "Shorten your stride". Next pitch, I hit the ball square on the barrel and sent it screaming in to leftfield. It's like these people know what they are talking about or something. I made my way to Bright House Field for lunch. The buffet was situated under the same tent where Kangaroo Court was held a couple hours before. Since everyone ended the drills and workouts at the same time, there was quite a long line that extended past the bar of Frenchy's. However, this provided me with front row seats to the small parking lot below. Why would this be exciting? Well, you'd be excited too if you got the nice surprise of seeing Ryan Howard strolling to the main batting cages located directly underneath where we were standing. I already knew this, and saying it will be redundant, but man… he is a big dude. I promptly replaced all the calories I burned missing and overthrowing baseballs in the morning. Scott Palmer appeared to announce the teams. The Legends and GMs had conferred and made their selections. I felt like I was back on the playground being chosen for a pickup baseball game, except the kids are ex-Major Leaguers. Amazing. My name was finally read off. I selected for a team called the Drillers, coached by Kevin Stocker and Mike Lieberthal. That really jazzed me up. Those two were easily some of my favorite Phillies. These two West Coasters were famous for their laid back and friendly personalities. I was excited to get this started. I made my way to Ashburn Field to meet my team, my player rep, my two new coaches, and to finally get ready to play some games. We huddled around outside our dugout. Stocker came right out and introduced himself and within a minute, I knew this was going to be a blast. Stock seemed to get the idea of this camp experience down pat. We were here to play baseball, get advice from ex-Major Leaguers, but most importantly, we were here to have fun. Lieby was not quite as vocal; more chilled, but still had that same loose attitude. This was Mike's first year participating as a Legend at Phantasy Camp, so my impression was that he was probably still trying to feel everything out. Stock informed us that we were the only team out of ten that were completely full of rookies. Images of the Bad News Bears started creeping in to my mind. Kevin read off the lineup, which he assured us, was filled out at random. Positions were set, but they let us know that if we want to switch with someone else, we could do it at any time. If we wanted to come out, no problem. If we wanted to go back in, not a problem. This had all the seriousness of a family reunion whiffle ball game. ——————- One of my dad's more classic moments happened on a beach in North Carolina during a marathon session of whiffle ball. At one point during a game, someone made a diving catch, which resulted in a dramatic end-over-end tumble. Later in the game, I was facing my dad and hit a line drive right back to him. He didn't move or react. He stood there, cool as a cucumber, and snagged the ball nonchalantly. He waited a couple seconds, then dove to the ground and rolled on the sand, pretending he just made a highlight reel-worthy catch. We could not stop laughing for the rest of the day. I still smile when I think about that. ——————– So out I ran to take my position in leftfield. I only had one fielding opportunity when a seeing-eye single came my way. I quickly realized that I probably wouldn't be getting many more chances this game. Our man on the mound, Pete Wichterman, was a captain and starting pitcher for LaSalle University, and our opponents, the Red Barons, were getting mowed down one by one. Unfortunately, we were facing another buzz saw in Tony Carfagno. Tony, as I came to find out, had won the Camp's Cy Young award the previous two years. Wonderful. In typical Bryan Sargent-style, I struck out swinging at my first at bat. I was just sizing him up… yeah. The rest of the game was a fantastic pitcher's duel. Because of this, and the fact that all 14 members of the team bats, no matter if they are in the field, my number of trips to the plate were limited. I eventually moved to third base. As I took my position, I had another one of those "where am I?" moments. Juan Samuel, one of the two Legends coaching for the Red Barons, along with Ricky Jordan, was standing there coaching third. I gave him a tip of the cap, said "hello Juan" and turned my attention back to the game, shaking my head in disbelief. Again, no fielding chances. That was probably best for the team's success. The Red Barons got us for t Due to an impending rainstorm, another game was added to the schedule in case games had to be cancelled the next day. Our second game was supposed to be on Joe DiMaggio Field across from the complex, but because it's condition was not optimal for playing on, we were "forced" to move our game to Bright House Field. Normally, this does not happen until the Legends game on the last day. So this was an incredible treat. It was only day two, and I was going to be stepping foot on to the same field where the Phillies play their Spring Training games. Sorry, I believe that's my jaw on the ground. Let me get that out of your way. With one game now under my belt, there was something else that really warmed my heart and brought me back to my childhood: playing baseball with a wooden bat. I learned how to play baseball with a wooden bat. We only used wooden bats in my first couple of years of Little League. This is a small aspect of the game I truly miss. Nothing feels or sounds sexier than a baseball hitting a wooden bat. Speaking of which… On our way to Bright House, the sound of what my friend Sam referred to as a "howlitzer", was blasting from the underbelly of the stadium. I deduced that this must be Ryan Howard taking batting practice (it was confirmed later that it was indeed Howard, as well as rookie prospect Domonic Brown). Now, the echoes of the tunnel did amplify his hits, but still… the "authority" of that sound, again from Sam, was overwhelming. Like I said before, there is a regular person hitting a baseball… then there is a Major Leaguer. Just awe-inspiring. Now, an issue arose right before our first game. It seemed that we had no catchers on our team. All the players who had "catcher" as their preferred position were snatched up in the draft. Thus, it was like pulling teeth to get folks to volunteer for the position. We arrived to our dugout at Bright House. Stock came over to me and asked if I could be catcher for this game. As much as I wanted to run away screaming, I figured this was going to be problem for the duration of the Camp. I was sure I would eventually have to catch at some point anyway, so I might as well get it over with. As far as I can remember, I have only caught twice in my life. Luckily, both instances were documented on film. When I was three years old, my dad decided I should try and catch in our house. To make the experience authentic, he equipped me with his black glove and a beach toy to sift sand, attached to a baseball cap with a piece of twine for my mask. He lobbed a large plastic baseball to me in our living room. Baseball-reference.com doesn't seem to have any statistics from that performance. The other time was during my first year in Little League in Claymont, DE in 1982. According to my dad, it was the longest game he ever sat through. Apparently I didn't do a very good job actually catching the baseball. I would just let the ball go to the backstop, get up, retrieve it, then throw it back to the pitcher. Repeat and rinse. I believe I was sent down to the minors after that game. Bless your soul dad. I suited up and got a few tips from Lieberthal. Then I realized: I'm getting advice from a two-time All-Star and Gold Glove-winning catcher! Wow. I waddled out to home plate, got my bearings (holy sh!t, I'm catching at Bright House), and introduced myself to the umpire. He also gave me a few pointers, most likely more for his protection. Can't say I didn't blame him. He must get his fair share of bruises and knocks calling these games at Camp. Lucky for him, I was going contribute a few more war wounds to his collection! The game ended before it even started. Our opponents, the Bay Sox, led by Marty Bystrom and Von Hayes, were a force to be reckoned with. They exploded for six runs in the first and eight runs in the second inning. If I wasn't feeling any pain earlier, I was feeling it now. After the first inning, I came back to the dugout. Stock greeted me very encouraging words. Mike stopped me, and with a big smile said, "you did a great job back there!" I smiled back, glowing in the fact this famed catcher just complimented me on my play behind the plate, thanked him very much, then asked, "how the hell did you do this sh!t?! Even though I was playing baseball in these glorious surroundings, enveloped in a warm, late afternoon sun in the middle of January, the whole game was a complete blur. I was bumped up to cleanup in the batting lineup. I went 0 for 1 with a walk and strikeout. But to be honest, I don't even really remember those at bats. My goal was to finish out the game the best I could behind the plate. I wasn't that adept with a catcher's mitt, so there were many instances of me completely missing the pitch and immediately hearing a loud "whack" followed by a painful "ungh!" I felt so bad after awhile. He kept reassuring me it was OK, but still. In between watching balls flying out past our outfielders and having baserunners pass me at home, I experienced my first foul ball-tip-straight-in-to-my-helmet. Luckily, there isn't much up there to get injured After the dust settled, the Drillers were once again shut out, this time by the score of 18-0. It wasn't even close. Eh, what are you going to do? It was still a lot of fun. The twenty or so people in the crowd made me feel like I was playing for the Florida Marlins. This Camp thought of everything to make this a true Major League experience! I headed back to the clubhouse, very sore and very tired. I groaned as I peeled off layer upon layer of my uniform. Playing baseball never hurt so good.
wo runs at the top of the last inning. I took my second at bat against Carfagno, and I am proud to say, hit a solid line drive over the shortstop's head for a single. If I don't get another hit for the rest of the Camp, I'll be happy knowing I got a knock off the best pitcher in Camp. We couldn't manufacture a comeback and lost our first game. Did it really matter? Hell no. Stock and Lieby drove that message home in their post-game talk. They showered nothing but compliments, and maybe a few good-natured ribbings that we all quickly learned was Stock's calling card.
, so all was good. I also came very close to making a decent play catching a foul ball. Again, I do not know how catchers are able to pull off that move. The disorientation factor is through the roof. During the second inning, there was a dispute about the number of outs. Some coaches had one. The umpire had two. I joked with him that I had three and the inning was over.

Ack, my knees hurt just imagining that experience behind the plate. I totally would have gone all Tony Pena and had one leg extended out.
Congrats on the base hit!
Cannot wait to read about day 3.
As the game wore on, I actually felt I was getting stronger and more mobile. I think my body adjusted to it. The next day, I was talking with Lieby about the Tony Pena stance. He mentioned that he did that to set really low targets (inside or outside). He said the Chooch will assume that stance every now and then. I asked him if he ever considered it and he said "no". It felt a little unnatural for him and it reduced his mobility in case he had to spring up for a play. He said Pena mastered that stance and not a lot of people can do it as well as he did. All I know is, my opinion of catchers, already high as it is, just went through the roof.

Florida Gov. Rick Scott says jobless rate dropped in March
Gov. Rick Scott says Florida's seasonally adjusted unemployment rate dipped to 7.5 percent in March, the state's lowest rate in more than four years.
Last month's statewide rate is down from a revised rate of 7.8 percent in February. Scott said Friday that the declining jobless rate is in stark contrast to the economic climate before he became governor in January 2011.
+ Florida's Highest-Paying Jobs
+ America's Lowest-Paying Jobs
+ 20 Jobs Women Are Taking Over
Florida's rate is below the national unemployment rate of 7.6 percent in March.
Scott is talking about the state's jobless situation during a stop in Naples.
Scott has spent much of his time in recent weeks reminding Floridians that things have gotten better since he took office.

Joke of the day
Every man needs a go-to joke.
Golfing Nuns A nun is sitting with her Mother Superior chatting: "I used some horrible language this week and feel absolutely terrible about it." "When did you use this awful language?" asks the elder. "Well, I was golfing and hit an incredible drive that looked like it was going to go over 280 yards, but it struck a phone line that is hanging over the fairway and fell straight down to the ground after going only about 100 yards." "Is that when you swore?" "No, Mother," says the nun. "After that, a squirrel ran out of the bushes and grabbed my ball in its mouth and began to run away." "Is THAT when you swore?" asks the Mother Superior again. "Well, no." says the nun. "You see, as the squirrel was running, an eagle came down out of the sky, grabbed the squirrel in his talons and began to fly away!" "Is THAT when you swore?" asks the amazed elder nun. "No, not yet. As the eagle carried the squirrel away in its claws, it flew near the green and the squirrel dropped my ball." "Did you swear THEN?" asked Mother Superior, becoming impatient. "No, because the ball fell on a big rock, bounced over the sand trap, rolled onto the green, and stopped about six inches from the hole." The two nuns were silent for a moment. Then Mother Superior sighed and said: "You missed the goddamned putt, didn't you?"
At a Loss Once there was an old man sitting on a bench in the park crying. A younger man walked up to him and asked: "What's wrong?" The old man replied: "I am married to a sexy 21-year-old woman who gives me two blowjobs a day and we have sex the minute I get home from work and right after dinner." The young man had a strange look on his face and asked: "What's so bad about that? It sounds to me like you have a great sex life." The old man replied: "I can't remember where I live!"
Proud Texan Father A Texan bought a round of drinks for all in the bar and said that his wife had just produced "a typical Texas baby" weighing 20 pounds. Two weeks later he returned to the bar. The bartender recognized him and asked: "Aren't you the father of the typical Texas baby that weighed 20 pounds at birth?" "Yup, sure am!" "How much does he weigh now?" The proud father answered: "Ten pounds." The bartender said: "What happened?" The proud Texas father said: "I just had him circumcised!"
Change Of Heart After a trial had been going on for three days, Harrison, the man accused of committing the crimes, stood up and approached the judge's bench. "Your Honor, I would like to change my plea from innocent to guilty," he said. The judge angrily banged his fist on the desk. "If you're guilty, why didn't you say so in the first place and save this court a lot of time and inconvenience?" he demanded. Harrison looked up wide-eyed and stated: "Well, when the trial started I thought I was innocent, but that was before I heard all the evidence against me."
Annual Checkup During her annual checkup, a beautiful young woman was asked to disrobe and climb onto the examining table. "Doctor," she replied shyly. "I just can't undress in front of you." "All right," said the physician. "I'll flick off the lights. You undress and tell me when you're through." In a few moments, her voice rang out in the darkness: "Doctor, I've undressed. What shall I do with my clothes?" "Put them on the chair, on top of mine."
A Second Opinion Mrs. Jones goes to the doctor for a full medical. After an hour or so, the doctor looks at Mrs. Jones and says the following: "Mrs. Jones, overall you are very healthy for a 45 year old. There is, however, only one problem. You are 40 pounds overweight and bordering on obese. I would strongly suggest that you diet now to save any complications in later years." She looks sternly at him and says: "I demand a second opinion." "OK" he says. "You're f*cking ugly as well!"

I'm sure this petition had more credence if it was people posting on Battle.net.
As far as I remember, isn't Battle.net restricted to purchasers of Blizzard products? Anyway, if it is indeed only to those who have purchased Blizzard products, then they have a much larger say to Blizzard to convince them of a Linux port (or a Linux installer). Then again, this may not work too knowing companies largely ignore Linux.
On the flip side, seeing that Starcraft 2 is already running and it seems like it's going to be a PC only game, the ease of porting will most likely depend on how they designed their game from the ground up.
Noting that Starcraft 2 is heading to PC and Mac, that increases the chances technically speaking on Starcraft 2. It doesn't guarantee a Linux port though.

2013 Preseason
It's simple really: #MakeMagee an #MLSAllStar.
Last year we here at Always on the Inside put our eggs in one basket when it came to #MLSAllStar voting by getting behind talisman winger Patrick Nyarko.
Stealing the Chicago White Sox idea of #TakeJake, (a ploy to get pitcher Jake Peavy to Major League Baseball's All-Star Game), we decided to push the #PickPat hashtag on Twitter. Along with the social calls to action, we got CSN Chicago's Dave Kaplan in on the action, with him displaying this sign on Chicago Tribune Live.
In addition, I wrote open letters to All-Star head coach Ben Olsen and MLS Commissioner Don Garber appealing for them to #PickPat.
While there was a lot of nice buzz created, in the end, Pat wasn't chosen (though I still think he should have been).
Fast-forward to today when we find out that Mike Magee is second in fan voting among MLS midfielders (even though he's a forward in Chicago) to go to this year's All-Star Game vs. AS Roma at Kansas City's Sporting Park.
Though we came up short last year, I think its time we bring the hashtags back out and #MakeMagee an #MLSAllStar for the first time in his career...
His credentials...
- A career high of eight MLS goals in 12 games played this season (currently third most in MLS and definitely most for a "midfielder").
- 10 goals in 14 competitive matches in 2013.
- As of Tuesday, he's never not scored in a match for the Fire, tallying four in as many games since joining the Men in Red last month.
- A true leader on the field and player that has come into his own over his 11-year MLS career.
- While the MLS All-Star Game is a reward for achievement during the first half of the season, we'd be remisce if we didn't mention that Mike Magee has won two MLS Cups and two Supporters Shields over the course of his 11-year MLS career.
- #MikeMageeFacts can truly go national when he's included among the league's best players.
Vote for Mike, Patrick Nyarko, Jeff Larentowicz, Sean Johnson, Austin Berry, Jalil Anibaba and Chris Rolfe by clicking here or by texting the player's last name to 22442 through July 2 at 2pm CT.
Even if its a preseason tournament, its nice to see the Fire atop these standings:
Team | GP | W | L | D | Pts. | GF | GA | GD |
Chicago Fire | 2 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 6 | 5 | 3 | +2 |
Houston Dynamo | 2 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 3 | 4 | 4 | 0 |
Vancouver Whitecaps FC | 2 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 3 | 4 | 4 | 0 |
Charleston Battery | 2 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 3 | 5 | -2 |
But as I spoke to Chicago-Fire.com contributor Irish Steve Thursday about the scenarios for the team to clinch the Carolina Challenge Cup Saturday, one potential scenario had my head spinning.
To be clear, with two wins in their pocket, a draw or win in Saturday's first game vs. Vancouver (live at 4:00pm on Chicago-Fire.com) would give the Fire their first Challenge Cup title.
But should the team lose, say 1-0 to Vancouver and Houston beat Charleston by the same score in the tournament finale, the Fire, Dynamo and Whitecaps would then be tied not only on points, goal difference (first tie breaker), goals scored (second tie breaker) and goals against (third tie breaker).
Under that scenario, the table would look like this:
Team | GP | W | L | D | Pts. | GF | GA | GD |
Chicago Fire | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0 | 6 | 5 | 4 | +1 |
Houston Dynamo | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0 | 6 | 5 | 4 | +1 |
Vancouver Whitecaps FC | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0 | 6 | 5 | 4 | +1 |
Charleston Battery | 3 | 0 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 3 | 6 | -3 |
Head-to-head would be next best solution, right?
Well consider in that circumstance the Fire beat the Dynamo (3-2 win), the Dynamo beat Whitecaps FC (2-1 win) and potentially Whitecaps FC would have beaten the Fire (1-0 win), i.e., they would all share three points in the mini-group between the three MLS teams.
With the results of each matchday pairing with each other, the goal difference in the mini-group would be even but then, the next most logical tie-breaker (what I would call the seventh tie breaker) would be goals scored in the mini-group, which would potentially give Houston the title.
Team | GP | W | L | D | Pts. | GF | GA | GD |
Houston Dynamo | 2 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 3 | 5 | 5 | 0 |
Chicago Fire | 2 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 0 |
Vancouver Whitecaps FC | 2 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 3 | 2 | 2 | 0 |
However, after speaking to Battery President Andrew Bell post-game Wednesday, it seems the tie-breaking procedures beyond goals against are pretty fuzzy...
Good reason for the Fire to take care of business against Vancouver Saturday afternoon, though I hear Frank Klopas is pretty lucky in coin flips!

Now just 16 days away from Opening Night vs. the New England Revolution at Toyota Park, today we look at #16 Marco Pappa's first goal in a Fire shirt which came on Opening Day 2009.
Pappa of course joined the Fire on loan from Gutemalan side Muncipal in July 2008 but didn't make much of an impact as he adjusted to MLS in his first season.
With a new season ahead of him on this rainy and cold day at Toyota Park, Pappa warmed up Fire fans by taking advantage of Luke Sassano's misplayed header to first-time his volley off both posts before being ruled a goal in a 1-0 victory over New York.
Little did we know that the first goal of his Fire career would be a sign of things to come with his next 25...
Watch below and make sure to get your tickets to Opening Night on March 9 when the Chicago Fire welcome the New England Revolution to Toyota Park.
WATCH: Marco Pappa's Debut Goal for the Fire
As they have the previous two years, the Chicago Fire ventured to the Three Lions Pub inside Blackbaud Stadium for the 2013 Carolina Challenge Cup kickoff luncheon Friday afternoon. The Fire were joined by hosts the Charleston Battery and the Vancouver Whitecaps at the luncheon while Saturday's opponents Houston were set to arrive into the Palmetto State later on Friday.
As I walked around admiring the wall-to-wall memorabilia inside the pub, I realized there were more than a few reunions occuring in the room...
First off was Fire assistant coach Mike Matkovich catching up with defender Jay DeMerit. Matkovich led the Fire PDL side when DeMerit played for it in 2001 and even appeared in "Rise & Shine: The Jay DeMerit Story" to talk about his memories of Jay...
A little further down the way, I spotted a Tottenham reunion as Fire trialist Pascal Chimbonda met up with Whitecaps defender Young-Pyo Lee. The two often manned the defensive flanks together for Spurs while at White Hart Lane from 2006-2008.
Finally, just as I turned around, I spotted Fire midfielder Daniel Paladini talking to his former manager and current Whitecaps head coach Martin Rennie. The Scotsman was the one that brough Paladini to the second division Carolina RailHawks from Chivas USA in 2009 where the pair would spend two seasons together.
To finish the pleasantries Rennie, Fire head coach Frank Klopas and Battery manager Mike Anhaeuser did the annual trophy photo-op.
On to Saturday's first doubleheader featuring the Chicago Fire taking on the Houston Dynamo (if they show) at 4pm CT on Chicago-Fire.com. The Battery will host the Whitecaps in the second game at 6:15pm CT.
Was nice to wake up to this news this morning that U.S. international and current Aston Villa first-choice 'keeper Brad Guzan would like to return to MLS one day and potentially suit up for his hometown Chicago Fire.
A product of Homer Glen, Ill., Guzan was quoted as saying, "Hopefully, I will get the opportunity, when I'm finished playing in Europe, to go back and play in it.
"Especially being from Chicago, which has a team. I'd love to go back and play for the Chicago Fire in front of friends and family. That would be pretty neat."
Guzan of course teamed with current Fire forward Chris Rolfe on the Chicago Fire PDL side that went a near perfect 17-1-0 en route to the league's regular season championship that year.
Having played two seasons at the University of South Carolina, Guzan left college to sign with MLS and was picked second overall by Chivas USA in the 2005 MLS SuperDraft.
At just 28 years old and with the Fire having a 'keeper in Sean Johnson who is nipping at his heels for the number two spot with the U.S., Guzan won't likely return stateside anytime soon but would likely be a welcome addition for many a Fire fan down the road...

"Also complicating matters is Microsoft's Windows 8. With Microsoft's Windows 8 to be released by year's end, the boot system is expected to see an overhaul, at which point Wubi may not work."
Well, they were proposing at one point to implement a system that wouldn't boot anything but Vista 8 and to not allow the user to turn it off under the pretense of security.
Apparently they changed that and made it a requirement for a physically present user to go into the uEFI firmware and disable that malicious feature, but they still misleadingly call it security so that people will have second thoughts about turning it off.
Other than them throwing around the proposal to lock everything else out, including older versions of Windows, what else have they changed?
It's my understanding that NTLDR will work much like it does now on any system with a BIOS and that "Malicious BIOS" (uEFI) will not actually need a boot loader on the file system, but rather handles it internally and will execute EFI executables on the file system that are there to load the OS (assuming you've turned restricted boot off or your EFI program is signed with a key that the criminals behind uEFI recognize).
In this case, what you'd end up needing to do is... Make Grub look like an EFI program, tell the "Malicious BIOS" (uEFI) firmware to load it, and then once you're there, Grub can chainload NTLDR or boot into another OS.
It's ugly and it borders on a violation of the uEFI "Malicious Firmware" spec, but that spec was written by criminals at Microsoft and Apple and Intel, so what can you expect?

Bruce Springsteen
The writers of this blog are not music critics, and they don't consider a second (or third, fourth or fifth) mortgage to be a perfectly reasonable course of action to pay for front-row tickets, but despite being a whole lot more middle aged than they were when they first put \x34Born in the U.S.A.\x34 or \x34The River\x34 down on the turntable, still feels like Bruce has something -- OK, a lot of things -- to say about our country and the way we live our lives, things that not a lot of other artists are saying. And whether he's talking about the knife that can cut this pain from your heart, the house that's waiting for you to walk in or what that flag flying over the courthouse means, he's nailing down feelings that are so universal that they can raise your spirits and break your heart at the same time. Plus, let�s face it, the man rocks.

What people don't know about the flux capacitor is that when Doc Emmet Brown fell and struck his head on the rim of a toilet bowl and fell unconscious, when he regained conscious, he saw the words 'Flush Capacity' on the underside of his cistern.
Were it not for those helpful people who tell you how much of a flush capacity your toilet has, BTTF would never have happened.

Modeling an integrated, high flow rate MEMS ferrofluid pump
Mao, L., Koser, H.Department of Electrical Engineering, Yale University, New Haven, CT
We present a FEMLAB modeling study of an integrated, high-flow rate microfluidic pump for ferrofluids. Initial studies of these microfluidic devices have been performed using a onedimensional setup in MATLAB and later confirmed by corresponding simulations with FEMLAB 3.1 in partial differential equation (PDE) mode.
It is determined that maximum flow velocity is achieved when the product of the excitation wave number and the height of the ferrofluid channel approaches unity, and the excitation frequency is close to the reciprocal of the Brownian relaxation time constant of the magnetic nanoparticles. FEMLAB has also enabled the study of these devices in two-dimensions, coupling electromagnetic fields into the full magnetic relaxation relations implemented in PDE mode and full Navier-Stokes equations describing the flow dynamics.
The results from the two-dimensional FEMLAB simulations are in excellent agreement with experimentally obtained data.

PNC Park to host first Sunday night game in finale
Pirates send Morton to oppose Miller to wrap up series
On Sunday, less than a year after hosting its first postseason game, PNC Park is set for another first. More than 13 years after the ballpark opened its gates, it has drawn ESPN to town for a Sunday game under the lights.
The Cardinals and Pirates will meet in a nationally televised game to close out the three-game set in Pittsburgh. Although the Cardinals make regular Sunday appearances -- including one just a week ago -- this is a big deal in Pittsburgh, a city that last hosted a Sunday night game in July 1996.
Nationally televised games, a rarity during much of the franchise's 20 straight seasons with a losing record, have become more frequent in recent years. The Pirates see their selection to appear on Sunday as, in the words of manager Clint Hurdle, "tangible signs of changing."
"You don't play Sunday night on ESPN unless you've done something," Hurdle said. "You see more [broadcasters] here that you see on TV. We used to see them on TV, now they're in the clubhouse. The additional games throughout the season the national networks are picking up is another sign."
This series drew interest outside the Pittsburgh and St. Louis markets because of the tight division race in which the Pirates and Cardinals found themselves entangled last season. The two clubs then met in a National League Division Series that went the maximum five games.
"When I came to Pittsburgh, I asked, 'When was the last time 'Sunday Night Baseball' was from PNC Park?'" club president Frank Coonelly said. "I was told, 'Never,' and I was amazed and said, 'We've [got] to change that.' It only took me seven years. It's a great showcase, not only for the club and for the park but for the entire city."
Playing on Sunday night is hardly a novelty for the Cardinals, who have three such games scheduled this month alone. And with another in July, they're assured of appearing on "Sunday Night Baseball" at least four times this season.
What the Cardinals are most looking forward to is what will come after Sunday's series finale in Pittsburgh -- and that's a flight back to St. Louis. This series marks the end of a grueling road-heavy start to the season for the Cardinals, who will have played 26 of their first 38 games away from Busch Stadium.
Not since 1927 have the Cardinals had that many road contests in the first 38 games of a season. The reward for stockpiling all those airline miles early, though, is that they can look ahead to a stretch that will have them home for 19 of the next 22 games.
"I haven't heard complaints, so I think they've done everything they can to handle this as best they can," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said of his players. "It has been a tough start. On the performance side, I do think we've left a lot on the table, and our guys would agree with that. Is that attributed to a tough schedule? I don't think completely. It's just we haven't clicked with the kind of baseball that we can play yet."
Cardinals: Molina to return to the lineup
Stuck in an 0-for-15 rut and trying to shake a cold that has affected several in the clubhouse during this road trip, Yadier Molina was held out of the lineup on Saturday. He is, however, expected back for the series finale.
"You can tell he's fighting to get something going positively on offense," Matheny said. "He's swinging the bat pretty well but not getting any results. He's a little frustrated."
Molina, who ranks second on the team with a .300 average, will be returning to a favorable matchup, as he is 8-for-22 with four doubles and six RBIs in his career against Pirates starter Charlie Morton.
Pirates: A co-op of leadoff hitters
The Bucs haven't lost any leadoff spark since Starling Marte was removed from that spot, which he had owned since his Major League debut in July 2012.
The three men who have shared the No. 1 spot the past eight games -- Jose Tabata, Josh Harrison and Travis Snider -- have combined to go 12-for-31.
It will probably be Snider's turn against Cardinals starter Shelby Miller on Sunday, when he will return to action after serving a two-game suspension for his part in an April 20 scuffle with the Brewers. In his most recent game, on Wednesday against the Giants, he went 2-for-3, with a triple and a two-run single.
Worth noting
• Actor Jon Hamm, a native of St. Louis and a Cardinals fan, will attend Sunday night's game to promote his upcoming film, "Million Dollar Arm," which is based on the story of two Indian pitchers (Rinku Singh and Dinesh Patel) who signed with the Pirates in 2008. Hamm will serve as a guest analyst on ESPN's "Baseball Tonight: Sunday Night Countdown" prior to the first pitch.
• Andrew McCutchen (sore left foot), who missed Saturday's game, and Marte (tightness in lower back), who left it in the fifth inning, are both possibilities to return for the series finale.
• Pirates left-hander Wandy Rodriguez (inflammation in right knee), on the disabled list since April 21, has been penciled in to make his comeback start on Thursday in Milwaukee.
• Cardinals shortstop Jhonny Peralta has hit safely in all eight games of this road trip. He is 12-for-32 during that stretch.

can't stop asking questions.
We are testing on importing about 10tb data to an Oracle RAC 2 nodes database. we have big RAMs and more than 10 CPUs on each node. when import this 10tb file, I noticed some thing as following:
1. we have about the same number of sessions on each node which is good, loadbalance works, right?
2. one node have less read and write, it is about 60% of the another node. I think somehow the Ethernet card or network cable or say hardware make this difference, not CRS, am I correct?
3. the initial setting sets all memory_target, memory_max_target, sga_target, sga_max_target to 0, I mean all of them set to 0. I personal strongly again it. on linux, I did 'free', I found OS have 125gb ram but only used 55 gb ram during the import, there are still 70gb free. so I assumed database should setup a real number(not 0) and higher number on sga_target or memory_target to get more RAMs from OS for database to use.
4. we may need to modify the kernal.shmmax which is set to 1/3 of toal OS RAM. how you think?
4. I understand there are some parameters can be tuned for ASM, I found list of it, but dont know it is a good practice to change ASM instance parameters
Sorry, too many questions. when I search online, I always find http://www.oracle-base.com, I am glad I have account with this web site.
Please help, thank you,

The news for Screen Actors Guild Portland Branch actors was good Wednesday as incoming Governor John Kitzhaber announced his 2011-12 budget, with Oregon's film tax credits intact and increased. Under "Revenue Changes" in his report, Kitzhaber recommended "an expansion of the Film Development Tax Credit." He said putting Oregon on the big screen is key to bringing in revenue, and he is boosting the production tax credit by $10 million a year.
Pacific Northwest SAG members were delighted to find their executive director Dena Beatty as the cover story in Media Inc., a Northwest media marketing publication. Portland National Board Member Mary McDonald-Lewis says, "With our talent, film incentives, burgeoning film and animation industry, this is exactly where Screen Actors Guild belongs — front and center in the eyes of the media industry."
PHILADELPHIA (May 27, 2010) — The SAG Philadelphia Branch celebrated its 40th anniversary on Monday with a ceremony at Philadelphia City Hall and recognition by Mayor Michael A. Nutter (see video below). SAG President Ken Howard met with local members and welcomed new members with SAG pins. Approximately 90 people attended, including Philadelphia Branch President Tom McCarthy, and National Board Member Helen McNutt.
Washington, D.C. (May 25, 2010) — Screen Actors Guild Regional Branch Division leadership and the Washington-Baltimore leadership of SAG/AFTRA hosted a special celebration to honor SAG/AFTRA Washington-Baltimore Branch member Sheldon Smith, the recipient of the prestigious Howard Keel Award Saturday in Washington, D.C. at the National Press Club. The award is the highest recognition given by the Regional Branch Division.

Wall Street expression describing the phenomenon of a stock or share bottoming out to near zero and then recovering with a sharp buying spree from bargain hunters: the notion being that even a dead cat will bounce if dropped from a high-enough point.
Your stock prices going up is no more than a dead-cat bounce: it doesn't have the juice to stay up.

Investor slang; a brief recovery in the price of a falling stock. Term is derived from the idea that "even a dead cat will bounce if it falls from a great height."

After leaving mark in '08, CC to face Brewers
Lefty helped pitch Milwaukee to postseason; Lohse to start for Crew
It is the selflessness that stands out most to those who were around for the Brewers' magical postseason run in 2008, when CC Sabathia essentially loaded the team's hopes and dreams onto his broad shoulders and made the city of Milwaukee believe in what was happening here.
Sabathia's time in Milwaukee may have been brief, but his mark still can be felt and seen to this day. With free agency approaching, Sabathia risked it all, insisting that he would make his last three starts of the season on three days' rest to help the Brewers lock up the National League Wild Card.
If you ask Ryan Braun, what Sabathia did after arriving in Milwaukee in that July 7, 2008 trade from the Indians was, "no doubt," the best half-season in franchise history.
"Especially doing it on short rest so many times," Braun said. "Considering where he was at in service time, how close he was in free agency, how little time he'd spent here, for him to assume that risk and do what he did for us was incredibly special. Incredibly rare. Something I'm sure none of the fans here will ever forget. As players, it's something we'll never forget, either."
The big lefty went 11-2 with a dominant 1.65 ERA in 17 starts, striking out 128 batters in 130 2/3 innings while leading Milwaukee to its first postseason appearance since 1982. In just a half season, Sabathia led the NL with seven complete games and three shutouts.
"I felt like every time I went out when I was here, I was going to win the game," Sabathia said.
In those last three starts, Sabathia won twice while rattling off an 0.83 ERA in those outings. Saturday's start will be his first at Miller Park since Sept. 28, 2008, when he pitched the Brewers to a 3-1 victory over the Cubs, boosted by Braun's two-run homer in the eighth inning. The Mets lost later that day to the Marlins, clinching the Wild Card for Milwaukee.
"That's one of the games I still remember that sticks out the most," Sabathia said. "I just remember Braunie hitting the home run. Him coming up to me and saying, 'If I get you a run right here, is the game over?'
"I was like, 'Yeah, the game's over,' and he went up and hit a homer. That was crazy. I think we felt like we were going to win at that point, no matter what the Mets did. If we were going to have to go play them the next day in New York, I think we would have won that game too."
Sabathia turned in his Brewers colors after the Phillies defeated Milwaukee in a four-game NL Division Series on their way to a World Series title. The Brewers made Sabathia a solid offer to stay, reported to be five years and $100 million. He chose the Yankees' seven-year, $161 million offer, calling it "the best decision for me and my family."
There are few hard feelings in Milwaukee, where Sabathia is expected receive loud cheers on Saturday, taking the mound against right-hander Kyle Lohse.
"Everything happened so quick," Sabathia said. "After that offseason, I ended up signing [with the Yankees] and went to the World Series. I felt like those two years ran together for me, but it was a fun time. I was healthy and felt good and was excited about being here and a chance to win. That kind of just translated over to the field."
Yankees: Solarte continuing to impress
Yangervis Solarte was a non-roster invitee this spring, a 26-year-old infielder who had been cut loose by both the Twins and Rangers organizations. The switch-hitter kept to himself at the back of the clubhouse, quietly going about his business while wearing uniform No. 89 and believing that he could fight the long odds to make a big league roster.
Solarte made the team with a torrid spring and has shown the ability to keep making the adjustments to stay in the Majors. He slugged a three-run homer in New York's 5-3 victory over the Brewers on Friday and leads the Yankees with 18 RBIs. Manager Joe Girardi said that Solarte has proven that he belongs on a big league diamond.
"You look at what he did in Spring Training, we thought that his at-bats were very good," Girardi said. "He made the team as a non-roster player because we really liked what he was doing offensively. And defensively we knew we could move him around and feel good about him. They've just carried on; the at-bats have just continued since Spring Training, and they've been very good. I'm not surprised because I think mechanically he's pretty sound."
Brewers: Roenicke has praise for Jeter
In Spring Training when Brewers officials began considering Carlos Gomez to bat leadoff, manager Ron Roenicke had Derek Jeter in mind. Roenicke spent 11 of Jeter's prime seasons on the Angels' coaching staff.
"When he was leading off for them, that first pitch we told pitcher, 'Don't throw strikes,' because it was always a base hit," Roenicke said. "I did think of him, though it's a little different. [Jeter] is more disciplined than Gomez is. If it was out of the zone, [Jeter] wouldn't swing at it. The power is a little different [in favor of Gomez]."
Like many in a Brewers uniform, Roenicke is a fan of the way Jeter has played the game.
"Hopefully he finishes with a good year, because this guy can really play," Roenicke said. "He gets it. He's got great baseball instincts. He got a ton of hits against us for a long time."
Worth noting
• Yankees reliever Shawn Kelley had an MRI on his stiff lower back and was unavailable to pitch on Friday. Kelley said that the tests revealed no disk issues and he is hoping to be ready to pitch if needed on Saturday.
• Jeter is the all-time hits leader in Interleague Play with 347. He is 32-for-99 (.323) lifetime against the Brewers, including 22-for-64 in 17 games at Miller Park.
• Brewers starting pitchers have produced a Major League leading 27 quality starts in 36 games this season.

Dominique Taylor/Vail Daily
Dominique Taylor/Vail Daily
Professional skier Chris Anthony�s curiosity about the 10th Mountain Division troops who trained a mere 30 miles from the Eagle Valley has blossomed into an hour-long documentary film � a film intended to teach children about the troops and keep their history alive.
The new Warren Miller film �Climb to Glory: Legacy of the 10th Mountain Ski Troopers,� premiered in mid-January in Denver. It tells the story of the thousands of men who trained at Camp Hale, many of whom later went to battle in World War II, and how their passion for skiing transformed the U.S. ski industry after the war.
It�s a film that Colorado Ski & Snowboard Museum Executive Director Susie Tjossem already cherishes � not only does it feature the history and the wonderful skiing that went along with it, but it does so in a way that should appeal to younger generations.
�The whole premise was for us to have a communication vehicle that attracted the younger demographics,� Tjossem said.
The film brings the Warren Miller Entertainment style that showcases adventure skiing, music and humor together with the rich history of the 10th Mountain Division.
Anthony, who has appeared in Warren Miller ski films for more than two decades, recently hosted two of the veterans featured in the film for a special day in Vail and in Camp Hale. Dick Dirks, 88, skied Riva Ridge � the run named after the Battle of Riva Ridge, a major turning point in the war and a major accomplishment for the ski troops � with Anthony and a large group of local kids. Earl Clark, 93, then joined the group at the base of Gondola One for a ride to the top followed by lunch at The 10th. They later drove up to Camp Hale, where remnants of the ski troops and the training that occurred there still exist.
Clark stopped skiing five years ago, when he was 88 years old. That was probably the last time he was on Vail Mountain, he said.
�At 93�, to still be able to get on a gondola and come up and do what we�re doing today, is a great treat for me,� Clark said.
Clark has skied almost his entire life. He joined the Army in November 1941 because of the 10th Mountain Division, he said. It was a month before the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, marking the beginning of the war for the United States.
He retired in 1983 and continued to ski, but it�s too much for him now.
As the 10th Mountain troops have aged and passed away in recent years, it became obvious to Anthony that there was an urgency in documenting their stories. He pitched the idea to Warren Miller Entertainment, and once Anthony completed his on-camera interviews with about a dozen veterans, that�s when producers knew the magnitude of what they were filming.
�I think that�s when everyone started realizing how important this message is,� Anthony said. �And it�s a timely one � one we needed to get sooner rather than later.�
A 10-minute segment appeared in the latest Warren Miller ski film, �Flow State,� released last fall, and the response from audiences was overwhelming.
�Across the country, there were standing ovations for that segment � across the country,� Tjossem said. �And (Warren Miller Entertainment was) blown away and then they realized, �Oh my gosh, we have something so precious.� They went back and totally re-edited it.�
The documentary will be the centerpiece of the museum�s 10th Mountain education series. Tjossem said initially it will be available only for private screenings for nonprofits and museum partners. After about six months, the museum likely will release the DVD.
�But we really want to protect it for now because it�s so unique,� she said.
It�s unique for Warren Miller Entertainment, too. The stories in its ski films usually are centered around adventure skiing. The films find stories that give producers an excuse to make skiing movies. This story, however, needs no excuse.
�I thought this one was long overdue,� Anthony said. �The theme behind the documentary is to connect these guys with our youth in a fun and active way.�

Overview of content related to 'rss'
This page provides an overview of 1 article related to 'institutional repository'. Note that filters may be applied to display a sub-set of articles in this category (see FAQs on filtering for usage tips). Select this link to remove all filters.
An Institutional Repository is an online locus for collecting, preserving, and disseminating - in digital form - the intellectual output of an institution, particularly a research institution. For a university, this would include materials such as research journal articles, before (preprints) and after (postprints) undergoing peer review, and digital versions of theses and dissertations, but it might also include other digital assets generated by normal academic life, such as administrative documents, course notes, or learning objects. The four main objectives for having an institutional repository are: 1) to provide open access to institutional research output by self-archiving it; 2) to create global visibility for an institution's scholarly research; 3) to collect content in a single location; 4) to store and preserve other institutional digital assets, including unpublished or otherwise easily lost ("grey") literature (e.g., theses or technical reports).
