Verlander set to take on free-swinging Astros
Tigers ace squares off with Humber, who's seeking his first win
Weather forecasts aren't always correct, but consider this a near certainty: It's going to get pretty breezy around Minute Maid Park's home plate on Sunday afternoon.
The swinging -- and frequently missing -- Astros face Tigers ace Justin Verlander, the two-time reigning Major League strikeout leader, in the finale of a four-game series.
Verlander has won the Major League strikeout crown in three of the past four years and, while his 41 punchouts this season only rank 17th in the bigs, he's still been just as filthy. He's sporting a 1.83 ERA through his first six starts and is coming off a seven-inning performance against the Twins in which he allowed one run and struck out eight.
Sunday will be a bit different. Yes, the Astros -- with a Major League-leading 310 strikeouts -- have a tendency to swing and miss. But unlike in facing the division-rival Twins, Verlander admitted there's a bit of uncertainty in facing a club he hasn't seen since 2009.
"It's a little different, uncomfortable I guess, not knowing the [opposing hitters]," Verlander said. "I like being able to watch the last few games."
Verlander should have a well-filled notebook. The Astros have struck out 34 times through the series' first three games.
Despite their high strikeout numbers, the Astros aren't worried. In fact, catcher Jason Castro said it's part of their game plan.
"Part of our approach is trying to be what we call 'selectively aggressive,'" Castro said. "So we're trying to find pitches in the zone that we're able to drive and put aggressive swings on them.
"We have some guys with big-time power on this team. So that's part of their game. So you will see guys taking some pretty big hacks. And we have guys that are capable of hitting it out of the ballpark on any given at-bat. So I think that's part of it."
Tigers: Verlander looks to follow suit
The Tigers have an argument for the best pitching staff in baseball, and certainly the top rotation in the American League. Along with Verlander, Max Scherzer is 4-0, Doug Fister is 4-0 with a 2.48 ERA and Anibal Sanchez is 3-2 with a 1.82 ERA. Fifth starter Rick Porcello has been up and down, but looked good in his last outing.
"I think we do," Verlander said of being part of the best staff. "I think it's like hitting. Pitching is contagious. We want to keep it going."
• Lefty reliever Drew Smyly has tossed 13 consecutive scoreless innings.
• Tigers starters have recorded a quality start in 19 of their last 21 games, going 11-4 with a 2.93 ERA.
Astros: Humber searching for first win
Sunday starter Philip Humber's 0-6 April record made him the second pitcher since 1900 to lose that many games in April, and his 7.58 ERA isn't anything to write home about, either. But aside from two starts in which he posted a 27.00 ERA, he's been solid, turning in two quality starts and pitching well in his two other outings.
Humber has faced the Tigers five times, including two starts, with his last start against Detroit coming in July 2012, when he allowed six runs in three innings.
• Catcher Carlos Corporan is batting .400 in his last seven games, with two home runs and five RBIs.
Worth noting
• The all-time series between the Astros and Tigers is tied at 9.
• The Astros hit three homers off Verlander during Spring Training in a 7-2 win on March 21 in Lakeland, Fla.

BARRE — A Chelsea man accused of crashing his truck and taking off on foot, leaving two passengers seriously injured, after robbing the Roxbury Country Store last month was in court for another felony charge for the incident.
Kyle B. Larrabee, 19, pleaded not guilty in Washington County criminal court in Barre Thursday to felony possession of stolen property. If convicted, he faces a maximum sentence of 10 years and a $5,000 fine.
Larrabee already is facing a felony burglary charge in Washington County and three charges in Orange County from the incident. Police say he and Eric Parker, 21, of Derby Line, burglarized three locations in February: Interstate Maintenance Corp. in Barre Town, a garage in Orange County, and the store.
Police say that while Larrabee and Parker were burglarizing the Roxbury Country Store, owner Randy Whitney caught them and tried to hold them down, but the two got away. The truck taht Larrabee was driving, according to police, crashed into a guardrail on Route 66 in Randolph, and Larrabee reportedly ran off.
Police said a passenger, Stephanie Demar, 21, of Barre, suffered life-threatening injuries and was taken to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, N.H. Parker had serious facial injuries from the crash.
The latest charge for Larrabee stems from the items found in the crashed truck. Police say they found items in the bed of the truck that were reported stolen from Interstate Maintenance. Police say around $3,000 in equipment and tools was taken from the company.MORE IN This Just InJOHNSON Authorities believe a drivers use of a handheld cellphone played a factor in a...

Any chance XFS could be made using 'mkfs.xfs -l size=64m' and mounted using 'logbufs=8'
I agree with the others. SSD's are not universally affordable and most people are still looking at performance with 7200rpm 1TB+ or bigger drives.
I would really like a retest with a standard 7200, and maybe even a laptop 5400 drive. (As laptops outsell desktops now).
The existing filesystems are designed to work with a rotating HD anyways. Their algorithms take into account latency and head movement, all of which is non-existent on SSDs.
Also, while you are at it, please take a look at JFS, and Reiser4. Get the zen-kernel (also available as a ppa) which supports reiser4. With Reiser4 possibly going into mainline I think it would be fair to compare it.
Finally, test reiser4 with lzo and gzip compression vs btrfs w/zlib.
Thanks for the work. I don't want to sound ungrateful. But these tests with SSD's don't make much sense, when SSD filesystems are designed differently.
Any chance XFS could be made using 'mkfs.xfs -l size=64m' and mounted using 'logbufs=8'
Agreed, maybe Phoronix should choose better Linux distribution to benchmark file systems performance with default settings.
Otherwise those graphs are not file systems benchmarks but rather Ubuntu experience benchmarks -> completely worthless for broader audience.
Ubuntu *is* the broader audience.
I wonder if any of this changes with 184.108.40.206 and a bunch of ext4 updates.
Because it's not only made for Ubuntu and it run on other distributions and systems as well. However, I'd like to see generic kernel benchmarks with the same mount options if possible.
This regression is just a change in Ext4.Sure, but what kernel version are you using? Phoronix have already pointed out very recently that there is a serious ext4 performance regression in the latest kernel (2.6.32) compared to previous releases.
You didn't read previous comments, did you? If Ext3 had different mount options then Ext4 what's the point in such comparison and then you base on what saying Ext4 seems to be going backwards?Originally Posted by jbrown96 View Post
It's disappointing to see how Ext4 seems to be going backwards. I know that the mount options make a huge difference with ext4, but I haven't really been able to follow them very well. My computer is a laptop, so it has a UPS (the battery) built in. Does anyone know some mount options that would improve performance. I'm not worried about data integrity since I have a battery.
Last edited by kraftman; 12-15-2009 at 04:41 PM.
Judging from this particular "benchmark" it seems whole file systems development that happened during all those days (after EXT3 was released) was purely pointless - is this what we're supposed to read as conclusion? (you know - the point of making benchmarks is to deliver conclusion other than 'benchmark is inappropriate').
Michael, please try to be more vanilla.
Or the opposite - tweak configurations so that meaningful conclusions can be drawn from it.
please edit your replies
Thanks. Want to share when the messiah will be down to greet us? It's a filesystem benchmark, what's that got to do with when ubuntu users will be blessed with btrfs? I bet you're one of these people that upgraded to Ubuntu xx.xx without even knowing what the difference was.
I'm tired of these tests where default options are used everywhere. What's the point? Show us the potential of these filesystems not just the fact that no configuration = crap performance.

I presume this only resolves the code license issue - that patent license issues still remain, and that Samsung has licensed the patents - for their own use.
Phoronix: Samsung Properly Open-Sources exFAT File-System
Back in June, Phoronix was the first to report of a native exFAT file-system implementation for Linux that appeared on GitHub. It later turned out that Samsung accidentally leaked their exFAT source code. The solution has now been corrected with Samsung formally open-sourcing their exFAT source code...
I presume this only resolves the code license issue - that patent license issues still remain, and that Samsung has licensed the patents - for their own use.
In a very quick comparison of their 1.2.4 source to the leaked one, it seems they removed all comments in the process...
Does this mean whoever uses this won't have to pay Microsoft for their own FAT patents anymore?
This would violate this, from http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html
Doesn't it? I doubt that Samsung engineers work with that stripped down version.The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it.
Dream on.
Microsoft still holds the exFAT patents. Samsung licensed them for their own use only. Im not surprised if Microsoft revokes Samsung's patent license for the exFAT driver, thus making it illegal for anybody to download and use Samsung's driver source code, since Samsung clearly did not get Microsoft's approval to open their driver.
plus im damn sure that whatever the licensing terms for the exFat patents are, royalty-free dissemination is definitely not one of them.
Last edited by Sonadow; 08-16-2013 at 11:53 AM.
And Microsoft has every right to revoke the license if Samsung does things which are not permitted under the licensing terms they negotiated with MS over, whatever they may be.
Just like the Conservancy can bar organizations from distributing GPL-ed software for non-compliance, Microsoft can do the same with organizations that do not respect its licensing terms.
FRAND does not give the licensee the right to do whatever they want with it.

My son is 16 months and loves pushing the limits. His newest thing is trying to get out on to the road when we are playing outside. Each time her does it I take him off the road (or if I stop him first) I tell him the road is dangerous and he could get hurt or simply say "danger". I have tried distracting him, but once he has his mind set on something there is no distraction great enough. I have tried telling him if he goes on the road we have to go play inside and have done so, but the next time he is outside he still tries the road. Any suggestions???

Play inside
Play anywhere else if running in the street is a problem
Be prepared to continually block his way or remove him from the street over and over
I was hoping for something more concrete as a way to stop him but I think deep down that was the answer I knew I would get lol! Im just worried hes gonna run for the road at the wrong time. Diligence is key I guess!!! Thanks for the support though..its hard to keep saying something that doesnt have immediate results but I will in time Im sure!

I know, it's hard when we just want someone to give us The Answer to our problem! 16 months is a really hard age, because he's just not capable of any kind of logical thinking, yet capable enough to move around quite well. So the concrete way to get him to stop is: you stop him. That's how you know he won't run into the road at the wrong time. When you're in a situation in which you're outside and there's a road close by, you're there with his every step. You're there to physically move him away from the road. And if that's too tiring or annoying after a while (because let's face it, it is! ) then you go somewhere else.
I've always focused on how to make a situation safe. Clearly, you have to stop him if he runs into the road. But that's a great time to model safe behavior around the street. My children have ALL tested this limit as young toddlers. It's normal and, as Kelly said, exactly what they should be doing. What's worked for my toddler (and for her older sibs) - when she runs toward the street, I stop her, usually by picking her up (and of course I'm right there, so she can't get far, right ). This is a game and is great fun, so if that's all I do, even saying "Danger" or whatever, even if I use a stern voice and mad face, she will repeat as long as we're outside. So I then remind her "We cross the street safely. Do you want to go across the street?" Of course she does! So we stand on the sidewalk, I remind her she has to hold an adult's hand, we practice looking both ways for "moving cars" then we walk across. This is also a fun game, and she will repeat as often as I can tolerate, but she's learning safe behavior while we're doing it, so it's positive! We have done this with our toddler since she could walk and now, at 19 months, she will grab my hand and pull me when she wants to go into the street. . .usually
I think a lot of the repeated behaviors that drive us nuts stem out of two drives. If we're honoring our children and minimizing the number of "no's" in their environment, then more often than not it's a way to seek our attention. That doesn't mean it's bad; more than likely, the child is being smarter than the parent & telling us we've been on the phone too long, or spent too much time on email, or are focusing too much on making the house look perfect and not on the needs of the little person in our lives. Honoring that usually means teaching them how to perform the behavior safely (even if we know they aren't physically or mentally capable of doing it withouth adult supervision for years, they can still practice, and sometimes they surprise us and really are ready for something) and giving them what they really are asking for - our attention. If there are a lot of "no's" in a child's life, then they may simply be trying to assert their natural curiousity, and in that case are telling us we need to work on making a "yes" environment.

Ya we have been doing the "safely" crossing the road thing now and I will admit at 17 months now he isnt running for the road very often...or he will run to it and stop before going on it atleast. We rent and dont have a fenced yard(and its a side lots so the road is everywhere) but he is getting better.
I am trying SO hard not to say "no" to him when possible and to use other words if I do need to express that he shouldnt do something...but its HARD!!!! When your kid goes to run out on the road your 1st instinct is to say no. My husband and I sometimes have to remind ourselves to use more positive wording and some nights after the baby goes to bed we talk about what we can say in different situations...I honestly think positive discipline is the hardest part of AP because most people are so programmed to be negative!
Thank you so much for the support ladies, it really does help!

My final guest post at the BPS Research Digest went up on Friday, covering recent work by psychologists Crystal Hoyt, Jeni Burnette, and Lisa Auster-Gussman on the motivational implications of formally classifying obesity as a "disease," as the American Medical Association did in July 2013. The good news is that the AMA is right to celebrate the [...]

Fantastic idea!! When you put the bobbin (with the elastic thread) into the machine, do you load it the same way? Meaning, do you hook the elastic thread around the little do-hickie? Does my question make sense? I have tried the elastic thread before, and I don't think I loaded the bobbin right because it didn't gather the fabric. Thanks for any help!!!

I love this scarf idea! I definitely have to make one for each of my girls!
ReplyDelete I was about to get rid of some T-shirts when I read this post and transformed them into matching scarves for my daughter and me. I didn't have elastic thread so I use the ruffle method. The only problem was that the bottom thread kept breaking. To solve the problem, I basted short sections, back stitched at the end of the section, and ruffled that and that worked awesome. Thanks for another great project!
ReplyDeleteJaime, I'm sorry you're not having luck with it! It's tough to know what went wrong without much info, but I do know that some machines deal differently than others with shirring. Here's a post with some more info on shirring, maybe it will help?
Good luck! Feel free to shoot me an email if you need extra help. :O)- AnonymousNovember 28, 2010 at 1:09 AM
hi my name is ... I'm 12 and i love these amazing, quick ideas. I am also trying the scarf with different materials like silk and chiffon. i love sewing and have tried to experiment too. I have made really funky skirts
and oversized lace tees, I also have fun selling these purses I make (for fun, they aren't that great). Anyway, I look forward to more posts.
12 omg I LOVE this! I have never used a sewing machine before but I really want to get one and learn because I see so many things I want to try to make! This looks simple enough to use for an easy first time project.

The balancing Act
"I hold his semen inside me, waiting. Not speaking. The police arrive and interrogate me, and I answer, using as few words as possible." Shira Lipkin, 20 years old in 1994, sat in the hospital's waiting room fighting the pressure to go to the bathroom, knowing it could hinder the quality of evidence law enforcement could collect and later use against the man that, hours earlier, had kidnapped and raped her. Her mouth chafed from the sock gag and wrists raw and bleeding from being bound, she writes her state of mind was indescribable. But she tolerated the pressure to urinate and the physical pain in the interest of preserving the rapist's DNA inside her, she wrote in her account of the rape years later.
What was on Lipkin's mind as she waited to be examined is what was on Congress's mind in 2005: DNA. Investigators and prosecutors need victims to be examined as soon as possible after a rape in order to collect semen, hair, skin or saliva that the attacker may have forcefully transmitted in order to connect DNA evidence with the perpetrator. Sexual assault experts say victims need time to heal from the attack, emotionally and physically, before they can make choices about whether or not they want to pursue legal action. These contradictory needs prompted Congress to add a stipulation to the 2005 reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) which would require that states provide free sexual assault exams and collection of rape kit evidence to survivors, even if the victim does not report the crime to police or does not wish to cooperate with law enforcement. Next year marks the first year that all states will be obligated to provide the services. It is hoped the Act will create balance between the conflicting needs of law enforcement's need to collect physical evidence in a timely manner, and victims' needs for more time to recover and subsequently, make decisions.
Pinpointing the problem
Cindy Dyer, director of the U.S. Department of Justice Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) and a 14-year veteran of domestic violence and sexual assault prosecution, explains that in the past, two things commonly occurred: First, a victim would present at the hospital after a rape and relate that he or she did not want to press charges, or at least not at that time. It was not uncommon, Dyer says, for the hospital and police to reject the victim for a sexual assault examination since the victim was unsure if he or she would prosecute the case. Or second, the victim may have had an exam, but the hospital and police made the victim responsible for charges unless he or she agreed to prosecute. It is these legacy practices that the VAWA addition was implemented to combat.
"This act was developed to balance the need to obtain evidence quickly, but recognize that a victim may not be able to make the decision whether or not she wants to prosecute so quickly," Dyer explains. "It is imperative that we chain the evidence right after it occurs because it begins to disappear afterward."
Gina Scaramella, who has been the executive director of the Boston Area Rape Crisis Center (BARCC) for five years, says that rape victims can feel overwhelmed or frightened and many do not want to interact with police. She says that the VAWA free exam stipulation is in the best interest of victims, adding, "Not having a mandatory report invites people to come to the hospital whether or not they're sure that they want to report to police," Scaramella says.
Dyer and Deputy Chief Steve Bellshaw of the City of Salem Police Department agree that the provision within the act removes the quid pro quo relationship between victims and law enforcement that had been common — if not standard — when it came to providing financial assistance for the forensic medical exam. Bellshaw, a 19-year veteran of police work, had been a sex crime investigator in the early '90s, back when Oregon did not voluntarily provide exams to survivors. He says if a victim was not willing to report, the approach leaned toward saving public resources.
"The problem that you had back then was that not every agency was really excited about footing the bill for the cost of the exam, because they could be costly and time consuming," Bellshaw explains.
This is not to imply that police had dangled services in front of victims, but that the mindset of the time and lack of understanding about sexual assault victimology influenced police to pursue actionable leads. Instead, the new requirement reorganizes the post-trauma focus from the criminal investigation to victims, which is what rape crisis workers say victims need most. Further, Dyer says that the requirement is the solution to correcting former flaws with the procedure when responding to sexual assault victims nationwide.
"I certainly do not think that there was any malicious thought process," Dyer says. "I think that the police and the hospitals thought, well, if we're not going to prosecute this case, then we don't need to spend the time and the money to collect the evidence."
Law enforcement and heath care professionals are able to fulfill victims' needs and collect physical evidence in the event the victim wishes to pursue the offender. Bellshaw, who currently supervises the Criminal Investigations Division at Salem PD, and is the vice chair of the criminal justice committee for the Oregon Attorney General's Sexual Assault Task Force (SATF), says that if victims decide not to prosecute, investigators are OK with that.
"I'd rather they make that decision after we have the physical evidence," Bellshaw says. "Leave your options open, so if you decide you want to report, that option is available to you."
Bryanna Houston was 20 years old when she was raped by a non-stranger who offered to give her a ride home from a coffee shop. At the urging of her friends, she went to the hospital in Boston to be examined, not because she wanted to report the crime, she says, but to check on her physical health. Houston, now 29 and a volunteer with BARCC, never prosecuted the man who she says attacked her. She explains that though Massachusetts did provide free exams at the time, the city only held the rape kit evidence for three months.
"I was so out of my normal realm of how to do things that it just stopped me from being able to process anything, and three months just wasn't enough time for me to be able to go for the prosecution part of it," Houston says. "I just couldn't do it."
Bellshaw believes that in order for investigations to be successful, the focus should be on the victim first, then the bad guy. "The No. 1 concern is that the victims do what makes them safe and what they're comfortable with," Bellshaw says. "I want us to be able to give them the best investigation that we possibly could, and the best complete investigation would include a physical exam with the chance to find physical evidence."
Storage and anonymity
The Act directs states to provide free exams and rape kit storage, but it does not specify that the evidence be stored anonymously nor does it address a length of time states must hold the kits.
This means that a state might still be considered in compliance if a victim is provided an exam, rape kit evidence is collected, and the next day the evidence is destroyed.
"Certainly, I don't think that's what VAWA 2005 intended to happen," Dyer says. "I think realistically, once a state has paid a doctor or nurse to provide this exam, the time to provide it, the medication for the STDs to give the victim, filling out the forms using the rape kit — it wouldn't make financial sense … to turn around and destroy it after a day. It certainly would violate the spirit of the law."
Some jurisdictions are also going above and beyond the requirements of the mandate to hold rape kit evidence. In Salem, Bellshaw says rape kits are held as long as possible because they don't take up much room in storage, and it increases the chance that they'd be of use. This practice maintains balance between law enforcement's needs for evidence; the use of state resources such as time and money; and victims' needs for unspecified time to recover.
"Our policy and our decision is we're going to hold [the rape kits] as long as the … case is prosecutable," Bellshaw says. "If a victim comes in to see us five years from now, we're still going to have that evidence."
It was falsely reported in May by a variety of news organizations that the federal mandate required states to practice anonymous — or Jane Doe — reporting. OVW confirms that to be untrue. However, some states, such as Massachusetts and Oregon, are providing anonymity anyway. In Oregon, sexual assault forensic exam (SAFE) kits are assigned a case number and the evidence is kept sealed, to be opened if the victim presses charges. State law in Massachusetts requires medical providers to report rapes and sexual assaults regardless if the victim wishes to pursue a case. To comply with the federal and state law, providers do not include victim information, only information regarding the assault and where it took place, according to the Maryland Coalition Against Sexual Assault, which is helping states develop systems to comply by the 2009 deadline.
Blank check
OVW, the office in charge of enforcing the Act, warns that failure to comply will result in the loss of STOP Violence Against Women Formula Grant Program (STOP Program) funds. According to OVW, all 50 states currently receive STOP funding. Dyer says the contingency funding stipulation was written in to the mandate to give states a compelling reason to meet VAWA 2005's terms. That means states will need to coordinate or finalize efforts to provide free access to forensic examinations for sexual assault victims in the next five months or face federal funding losses.
Diane DeAngelis, VAWA grant administrator in the Massachusetts Executive Office of Public Safety & Security (MEOPSS), orders and coordinates the distribution of rape kit materials to hospitals in the state. DeAngelis has been working with the office for five years, and explains that the state had already been offering free exams to victims during that time. However, prior to January 2008, hospitals had been asked to waive fees for the exams. DeAngelis stated that MEOPSS had to develop a better process to pay for the exams to remove responsibility from hospitals. The solution Massachusetts came up with was to partner with its Victim Compensation Program.
"Because we had a good system in place already in Massachusetts, it made things easier to bridge and partner with that agency, and to enable the coverage of such expenses," DeAngelis says.
Victims who receive an exam in that state fill out an application for the state to cover the fees. A similar process exists in Oregon. Executive Director for Oregon Attorney General's Sexual Assault Task Force, and a former sex crimes prosecutor for Seattle, Washington, Christine Herrman explains that Oregon pays for exams through a fund similar to a victim compensation fund.
DeAngelis explains that Massachusetts appropriates $120,000 annually for the ordering of kits. Each kit costs $26.40, but that figure does not include service or the implementation of the kit in a hospital setting. And with the exams estimated at $800 each, a spike in victims presenting at hospitals could become costly.
In essence, the VAWA mandate requires states agree to pay an unspecified amount in order to continue receiving a predetermined amount of federal grants, which is based on a population formula. Last year, $114 million in STOP Program funds were distributed between all states. This could mean that some of the money states receive in grants may be canceled out by exam costs.
"There would be no way of knowing how many victims would appear for an exam," Dyer says. "I suppose they could look at their sexual assault numbers, but … we don't know if maybe this new requirement will cause new victims to come and get that exam, so even if you had prior numbers, they may not be indicative of what your numbers now will be."
The requirement does not address from where states should take money to support the exams. OVW confirms that states could directly funnel STOP funds to pay for exams, however, this could mean other training and programs previously utilizing STOP money may suffer. Should the mandate fulfill its goal — to encourage victims to seek medical help and collect DNA evidence immediately — it is possible the number of reporting victims could climb, as would rape kit costs. Dyer states there are too many unknowns to predict a financial outcome at this time.
'Unlocking the silence'
Now 34, Lipkin works as a freelance writer and volunteers with the Boston Area Rape Crisis Center in Massachusetts as a survivor speaker; telling the story of the rape, how she survived and, in her words, "unlocking the silence" about rape.
But for hours and days, she says she was not able to talk about the attack. Yet she was strong enough to sit in a hospital holding a rapist's DNA inside her, where he savagely put it. Twelve years later, she was able to revisit the area where she was kidnapped and raped and it no longer haunted her, she wrote. "He had me then," she says. "But he doesn't have me now."
With the SAFE kit mandate in place to balance the mutually exclusive needs of victims and the justice system, victims can recover and keep the avenue to justice open, should they choose to pursue it. In that case, the silence after rape should become a frightening sound to sex crime offenders, instead of the thud of the door to justice slamming shut.
A thumbnail of sexual violence
Shira Lipkin was seen in the hospital within hours of the attack, was interviewed by Las Vegas police and underwent a long, invasive forensic exam to collect the physical evidence of the rape. According to the Department of Justice (DOJ), Lipkin represents the minority of victims when it comes to reporting. DOJ statistics estimate that two out of every five victims of sexual assault or rape ever report the incident to police. Other authorities studying and documenting sexual assaults and rapes find:
- 1.2 of every 1,000 people in urban areas were the survivors of a rape or sexual assault in 2006, a reduction from 1.4 reported for 2005. For suburban areas, the rate of victimization was one person per 1,000, an increase from .7 per 1,000 in 2005. (Department of Justice Statistics Bureau)
- Of 9,684 adults: 10.6 percent of women reported experiencing forced sex at some time in their lives, while 2.1 percent of men reported experiencing the same. Two-and-a-half percent of the population surveyed of women and 0.9 percent of men said they had experienced unwanted sexual activity in the previous 12 months. (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2008)
- Forcible rape reports in 2007 fell by 4.3 percent. This number was two times the previous decrease between 2005 and 2006, which was called "tremendous progress." (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network, June 2008)
- A total of 191,670 sexual assaults or rapes were committed against victims 12 or older in 2005. (The National Center for Victims of Crime)
- Shira Lipkin was assaulted by a stranger, which currently represents 26 percent of sexual assaults and rapes; the majority of these crimes — 73 percent — are perpetrated by someone the victim knew; (28 percent were intimate partners, and 38 percent were friends or acquaintances).
- NCVC states that in 2005, the overwhelming majority of rape or sexual assault victims were women, with 8 percent of these crimes victimizing men.
If the DOJ's frequency of reporting estimate is applied, the numbers from Statistics Bureau, NCVC and RAINN can be more than doubled to better reflect the contemporary rate and pervasive presence of rape and sexual assault in the nation.
VAWA and STOP Program details
In 1994, Las Vegas was already offering rape and sexual assault survivors a free forensic exam, where Lipkin was raped and had a sexual assault forensic examination (SAFE) kit. However, not all cities or states were so mindful of sexual violence and victims' needs at the time, prompting Congress to establish a national act — the 1994 Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) — with the mission of reducing violence against women and has established remedial federal mandates that are meant to combat legacy laws, social norms and practices that have worked against the VAWA agenda. The Act came up for reauthorization in 2005, and Congress saw fit to incorporate a mandate that would federally require all states to provide free access to forensic examinations and rape kit evidence collection to victims, leveraging federal funds for states that choose not to conform.
According to Department of Justice (DOJ) documents, STOP funds are granted to support professional training regarding violent crimes against women, development or expansion of units within the justice and enforcement system that target violence against women, development or expansion of policies and services that prevent or respond to violence against women, for example. Applications for STOP funding are reviewed individually and approved by DOJ. Documents for the 2007 grant program report the base award amount per state at $600,000, but may be greater based on availability of monies. Additional awards are distributed based on population.
States seeking support to organize a structure which complies with the VAWA mandate are coordinating with the Maryland Coalition Against Sexual Assault (MCASA), a non-profit organization which OVW has appropriated funds for this purpose. Its Web site, www.mcasa.org, has multiple informational resources, as well as a list of best practices for states to follow and contact information.
The Boston Area Rape Crisis Center's executive director, Gina Scaramella, described the case of a woman who was raped by two men. She told Scaramella she hadn't wanted to go to the hospital, but her friends pushed her, so she agreed. "She didn't want to have anything to do with reporting, but felt very supported during the exam and later said, 'You know, I didn't even want to do this, but you're making me think maybe I can do more.' " At least to have that option to do more could be hope enough.

Salerno Bar Stool
good quality chair
nice quality, saw the prior reviews about thin padding but we weren't looking for a cushioned stool; the padding provided is ample for our needs; seemed to handle large people as well

Salerno Leather Italian bar stool
These are the most comfortable bar stools I have ever sat in. The fact they were 'thinly' padded worried me but the thigh support, back support and even the firm padding, though initially not 'plush' is nevertheless more comfortable for long periods of sitting than a thick cushy seat would be. My home office is sitting at a counter and this is my all day home office chair.

Great Bar Stool..
Ok, I love the size, look and quality of this bar stool. It is leather, very heavy and well made, definitely not like the lesser priced contemporary stools out there. The only thing I don't care for is it is hard, there's no padding on the seat. It sits deep and wide and is very accommodating, but has a hard seat.

New favorite top!
i ADORE this sweater. I bought it a few weeks ago and have to resist the urge to wear it twice in the same week. It looks reddish-orange in person, but is still a fantastic buy. It's very flattering- you'll have that easy, slouchy sweater look that you can dress up or down. I wear it with navy ankle pants from the Limited (to work) or jeans (on the weekends) and it looks great either way. The sweater does not ride up at all (and I move around a lot during the day) and the sleeves have a slightly rolled look to them.
...and now that I see it's here in black and grey, I'm off to buy other colors. You'll love this if you get it!

Love This Item
I absolutely love this sweater. It's very comfortable and soft! Perfect fit!
November 16, 2013
keep 'em coming!
I bought this sweater tee when it was on a remarkable sale in both the grey and tan. As soon as it goes on sale again, I'll buy it in the black, possibly the red/orange, too. I fluctuate between XS and S, but went with the XS which was still loose, but so comfortable. I would wear these all winter long! Imagine if they had sleeves! These can easily be dressed up with a statement necklace. For the price I paid ($11), I can't ask for more.

4 stars for style, 2 stars for "red" color
This is a loose fitting, light weight sweater. Definitely will need a tank worn under it because the arm holes are large enough you'll see half your torso when you raise your arms. I ordered my typical XS size. It fullfills its name as "loose sweater." If they offered an XXS that probaby would have worked for me too. I am disappointed in the "red" color. It's dark orange. I'm not really into wearing orange but I like the style enough that I'm going to keep it. Had it not been for the color I would have given it 4 stars.

Love it!
So comfortable!! Perfect for casual or going out to a bar. Looks great with jeans and boots

Loose fitting
This top is loose fitting. I could have gotten a size smaller. It also stretched a bit in the wash so I might try drying it next time. It looks nice on though.
October 3, 2013
Really like this item
This blouse has a really nice fit & the fabric is really comfortable
October 1, 2013
perfect sweater tee
I really love this sweater tee. You can dress it up or down. I can wear it with my drew pants or 695 jeans. It is soft and comfortable like a t shirt but more professional because it is a sweater

Torture. That's about it.
I'm feeling so fucked after sculling...
Beküldő: ouch........
2010. november 24.
1 more definition
It's awful. It's tiring - exhausting actually. It's hard - one of the hardest things you will ever attempt to do. It's mind numbing -there's so many things you have to think about. It's painful - have you seen a sculler's hands?? Well, you don't want to hold them. Bleh. It's scary - seriousley the thought of falling in to a river full of currents, rats and who knows what would scare the s*** out of any 13yr old child!!!! But for some reason, thousands of people do it across the UK. Some people question the appeal but well, no Sculler or Rowing can explain why the stick with it. I guess you could say, after sculling 10km, you feel pretty damn good! :D !! It's like Rowing but instead of each crew member holding one blade/oar, each 'Sculler' holds two. People say Rowing is harder but once you've learned to 'Scull', you can easily convert to Rowing but if you learnt to Row first, it's like starting from scratch to begin Sculling. Also in sculling, you can have one person in a boat but you can't in rowing for obvious reasons like you'd just go round in a circle!!
Person 1 "heyy, I'm going Rowing today!"
Person 2 "Rowing? That's a sport for pussys! I'm a real man. I go sculling."
Person 1 (silence)
Person 2 "That's what I thought, dude!"

An Iowa couple who won a $202 million Powerball jackpot in September is donating $3 million to their son's high school for a new football stadium -- but the gift comes with a catch.
The stadium visitor's locker room must be painted pink.
The Des Moines Register reports that the Bondurant-Farrar school district accepted the donation from Brian and Mary Lohse on Monday. The couple from the Des Moines suburb of Bondurant requested only that the new stadium be completed before the fall 2014 football season -- their oldest son's senior year -- and that the visiting team's locker room be painted pink.
Mary Lohse says she was half-joking about the locker room, but was pleased when school officials said they'd be happy to indulge the color scheme.

Three new tilting narrow-track vehicles from EICMA - including a tilting offroad quad scooter
Article Summary
Tilting three- and four-wheelers make a lot of sense - they're almost as narrow and light as motorcycles, and perhaps even more maneuverable, but they offer enormous amounts of grip and stability. There's so many new narrow track vehicle designs sprouting up all over the world right now that it's easy to see them becoming a significant part of the commuting mix in the congested cities of tomorrow. So here's three new designs we spotted at EICMA Milan - one electric four wheeler, a petrol powered three wheeler and an aggressively styled four wheel tilter that seems to have off-road ambitions.

In 1887 the National Theatre's first dramaturge wrote this, the first Czech realist play. Critics of the time found it too different, too unusual. They failed to understand it and rejected it. Yet time has proved its qualities; it has become one of the cornerstones of Czech drama. The author depicts the everyday life of a seemingly idyllic village in South Bohemia. Under the surface of neighbourly camaraderie, dramas are bubbling – there is rivalry for the prestigious designation of "first farmer", along with discussions of who will become the night watchman. An unknown person threatens with arson. After more than a century, this play is more than ever ours – and about us.
Drama in czech language.

Riding The Twitter Link Waves
Over at SearchEngineLand is an article of mine written on March 31, 2009, titled Twitter: Incredibly Valuable Or Utterly Useless As A Link Building Tool? .
In the article I wrote:
"Where I see the real value in Twitter as a link building tool is in recognizing that many people who use Twitter have influence in very specific subject areas. If I'm announcing a niche health related web site, I can do a bit of research and quickly find which Twitter users are regularly tweeting similar health related URLs, and reach out to them...Twitter's surface allure is about fame and followers, everything shiny and bright. Twitter's deeper value, for those of us laboring away to constantly improve our search marketing campaigns, is about resource discovery and new links via a handful of experts behind the scenes, in the corners of the web most people ignore, but engines don't."Let's follow up with a live case study, using a newer article from SearchEngineLand titled
Understanding Federated Link Building: A Primer With Examples.
The above article was posted at 10:25am on June 16, 2009. Fourteen minutes after it posted, a Twitter user named @seomasterlist tweeted a link to it. Here it is (image below).
Waves and Echoes
Since seomasterlist has 1300+ followers, that means at least 1300 people had a chance to see and click that link to the article I wrote.
But this is just wave #1. In addition to @seomasterlist's tweet, 40+ other Twitter users have tweeted or re-tweeted that link.
I like the analogy of tweets and re-tweets as waves and echoes, with waves being high follower influencials and echoes being less followed but still extremely important. See this Twitter search result list which is only accurate for a few days or weeks after this post was written.
Remember that over time the above search result will show LESS activity, not MORE, because Twitter search doesn't archive and then grow that archive over time like Google does. In a beautifully ironic twist, as Tweets age they vanish from Twitter search, and start being found by Google. Click this Google search.
Federated Link Building site:twitter.com
Notice as of July, Google is showing over 120 Twitter users have tweeted links to my article, Whereas Twitter now shows none.
Note among the Google results the variety and style of links, all ending up at that same article. You have to follow the result to the Tweet permalink, but what you'll find is some links tweeted via a URL shortener, like this from @tweetingseo
Search Engine News - Understanding Federated Link Building:
Some are to the SEL RSS feed, like this from Twitter user @mcmaktoby
And some are direct links, like this tweet from @craig_burgess
Understanding Federated Link Building: A Primer With Examples http://searchengineland.com/understanding-federated-link-building-a-primer-with-examples-21056
Each of these links will deliver a clicker to my article. Think pass-along readership from the print world. But...remember not every tweet is seen by every one of your Twitter followers every time. When you are offline you don't see my tweets, and when I'm offline I don't see yours. By the time you log back in to Twitter, my tweet is likely off your list of current tweets, and may never be seen at all. You can't click what you don't see.
Still, here's some Twitter math to illustrate the power of Twitter Link Waves. As of 2 days after the initial tweeted link to my article...
Total Twitter users who have tweeted a link to the article
Total number of followers those 41 Twitter users have
Total number of Twitter users who had a chance to see a link my article
(I removed my own followers keep this honest)
As for how many of those 52,270 people saw, clicked on, and read my Federate LinkBuilding article at SearchEngineLand, only the folks at SearchEngineLand can know for sure. What's truly amazing is the speed with which links ride waves/skip through Twitter-space. It's only been two days since I posted that article, and all because of Twitter, over 52,000 people had a chance to see it.
Follower Overlap and Co-followers
Remember this is just the Twitter users, and only those Twitter users who used the article title in their tweet text, meaning I can find them by searching. Not everyone tweets an article title. Some just write "good article" and include a short-cut link, meaning I wont find those with a keyword search.
We also have to remember that within any vertical, follower overlap is higher. In other words, since my articles have a tendancy to get shared the most within the SEO/SEM industry, and since many folks in the SEO/SEM industry follow each other, I must assume that the 52,000 followers include a significant overlap.
For example, I follow 20 of the 41 people who tweeted my article link, so I would see that same link tweet 20 times. For the sake of argument let's assume a 50% follower overlap. Even then over 25,000 people received that link.
Interesting side notes
- Speaking of Twitter follower overlap, check out Venn'd which offers a nifty twitter follower overlap analysis, or twtrfrnd, which will show you the common followers for any two twitter usernames. And Who follows whom let's you do cofollower analysis for up to five usernames.
- You can search Google for tweets, by restricting your search to the twitter domain like this
"Understanding Federated Link Building" site:twitter.com
See the image above in the earlier example. The Google result will, especially over time, give a far more accurate count than Twitter's own search engine will.
What Does It All Mean?
You should be incorporating Twitter into your link sharing/building efforts, but don't make the mistake of thinking Twitter is just a link broadcasting tool waiting for you to exploit it. There are very subtle aspects to Twitter which belie the 140 limit. Tweeted links can definately affect rank, but as much as Twitter is "new school", proper use of it is very much "old school" in that you still need to identify and reach out to a key influncer on a one-to-one level. Twitter is simply a very cool tool that allows us to do this. You just have to know how to do so properly.

Создание расширений Nyquist
- Введение в программирование на Nyquist и Lisp
- Программирование на Nyquist
- Создание расширений Nyquist
Creating a plug-in for Audacity using Nyquist is as simple as creating a text file with the extension ".ny" with some Nyquist code, adding a few comments to indicate the type of plug-in, and placing the file in Audacity's plug-ins
directory. Here's a very simple plug-in as an example:
;nyquist plug-in ;version 1 ;type process ;name "Fade In" ;action "Fading In..." (mult (ramp) s)
The first line of a Nyquist plug-in must be exactly as in the example above, and the second line must indicate a version number. Version 2 and 3 plug-ins support more widgets, but version 3 plug-ins are not supported in Audacity 1.3.3 or earlier. The next line is the type of plug-in, which is discussed below. Then comes the name of the plug-in, which is what is displayed in the menu bar, and then the "action", which is what Audacity displays while it is busy processing the plug-in. There are other optional lines that may follow. Any line that does not begin with a semicolon (;) is assumed to contain Nyquist code and will be executed.
Audacity has support for three types of plug-ins that can be written in Nyquist:
;type generate ;type process ;type analyze
These correspond to the three menus that can contain plug-ins: Generate, Effect, and Analyze. Generate plug-ins are expected to generate new audio from scratch, Effect plug-ins ("process") modify existing audio in-place, and Analyze plug-ins process audio but do not modify it (though they are allowed to add labels).
For Effect and Analyze plug-ins, Audacity sets up the Nyquist environment so that the audio the user has selected is in the variable s
. All of the expressions in the plug-in file are executed in order, and the return value of the last expression is substituted for the selection in Audacity. If the last expression does not return audio, Audacity returns an error.
Parameter dialogs
Audacity has limited support for plug-ins showing a dialog to get parameters from the user. Here is an example of a plug-in that opens a dialog:
;nyquist plug-in ;version 1 ;type process ;name "Delay..." ;action "Performing Delay Effect..." ;info "Demo effect for Nyquist by Roger Dannenberg.\nThis effect creates a fixed number of echos." ; (should be all on one line) ;control decay "Decay amount" int "dB" 6 0 24 ;control delay "Delay time" real "seconds" 0.5 0.0 5.0 ;control count "Number of echos" int "times" 5 1 30 (defun delays (s decay delay count) (if (= count 0) (cue s) (sim (cue s) (loud decay (at delay (delays s decay delay (- count 1))))))) (stretch-abs 1 (delays s (- 0 decay) delay count))
If Audacity finds at least one "control" line, it will open a dialog to prompt the user for certain parameters to the plug-in. Each parameter consists of a text box and a slider, and after the user has entered each one, the final value will be stored in a Nyquist variable with a name that you specify on the "control" line. Here's what the dialog for the Delay effect shown above looks like in Audacity for Linux:
Note that the "info" line is displayed at the top of the dialog, and that the "\n" becomes a newline. The parameters to the "control" line affect the appearance and limitations of the parameter. Each "control" line must consist of exactly the following 8 elements, in order:
- The word "control"
- The name of the control - this is the name of the Nyquist variable that will get set when the user manipulates the dialog.
- The label to the left of the control
- The type of value: either
(integer) orreal
. - The label to the right of the value (usually the units like "Hz" or "dB").
- The default/initial value of the parameter
- The minimum value of the parameter
- The maximum value of the parameter
Returning labels
Instead of returning audio, a Nyquist plug-in can instead return a list of labels. A list of labels is simply a list of time/label pairs, for example:
((0.0 "start") (30.0 "middle") (60.0 "end"))
When a plug-in returns a list of exactly this form, Audacity will create a new label track and add the labels at those positions. This style of plug-in is usually of type "analyze".
New! Beginning with Audacity version 1.3.1, you can now optionally return both a start and an end time, like this:
((0.0 25.0 "start") (30.0 45.0 "middle") (60.0 75.0 "end"))
Note that labels are allowed to overlap in Audacity 1.3; the end time of one can be after the start time of the next.
Перемещение областей между дорожками
Nyquist represents stereo tracks as an array of sounds (not a list). Many Nyquist functions automatically work with these arrays, but not all, so sometimes you may find it necessary to split up a stereo array, or reassemble one. Here are some useful functions:
(arrayp s) | returns true if s is an array |
(aref s 0) | the first element in array s - the left channel |
(aref s 1) | the second element in array s - the right channel |
(setf s (make-array 2)) | makes s into a new array of length 2 |
(setf (aref s 0) left) | makes left the first element of array s |
(setf (aref s 1) right) | makes right the second element of array s |
As a convenience, if the input to your Nyquist plug-in is stereo, but you only output a single (mono) sound, Audacity will automatically copy it to both the left and right channels.
Where to go from here
Audacity comes with some sample plug-ins that you can examine or modify as a starting point. The best way to learn Nyquist is to try it. If you're having trouble debugging, consider downloading the standalone version of Nyquist (see the link in Part 1).
If you're having trouble getting Nyquist to work at all, please contact us.
If you are working on Nyquist plug-in effects and would like to share them with others, or if you would like to discuss how to achieve certain effects in Nyquist, please post on the Nyquist board of the Audacity Forum or join the audacity-nyquist mailing list.
Don't forget to consult the full Nyquist 2.37 Reference Manual for more details of Lisp and Nyquist.

text: 97 min | R JUST LIKE A WOMAN tells the poignant tale of two women who embark on a revealing journey of self-discovery. From an outsider�s perspective, Marilyn (Sienna Miller) and Mona (Golshifteh Farahai) have little in common, one a receptionist at a computer repair company, the other a mini-mart-owning Algerian immigrant. But both Chicago women yearn to break free of their troubled home lives, and their paths intersect in this free-spirited road movie in the vein of Thelma & Louise. Making his English language debut, French-Algerian director Rachid Bouchareb presents a slice of Americana, detailing the ways in which the United States interacts with the Arab world.
