SUBJECT: Gambone Leads Wilmington Baseball to Doubleheader Split Against UMass-Lowell and Lynn
Sophomore Ray Gambone pitched his way to his first collegiate victory in leading Wilmington University to doubleheader split on Friday, defeating UMass-Lowell, 7-2, before falling to Lynn, 11-0, at Lynn's Baseball Complex on the team's second to last day on Spring Break.
Gambone threw seven dominate innings in the day's first game, striking out eight batters while only allowing one run on six hits. Gambone improved to 1-1 on the season, earning his first collegiate victory after finishing the 2012 season with a 0-3 record.
The Wildcats (8-6) took control in the fifth inning, scoring four runs on four hits, but also received some help from the Riverhawks defense. Jon Castro started the inning with a single back up the middle before Brendan Fallers put the first two batters on by getting hit with the first pitch. Jordan Johnson laid down his second sacrifice bunt of the game to move the runners into scoring position.
Frank Samluk regained the lead for the Wildcats, singling in the first run of the game, scoring Castro from third base. After Josh Hampton was walked to load the bases, the flood gates opened on one play. Matt Lopes sent a fly ball into center field, easily scoring Fallers on the sacrifice fly. As Samluk took third on the play, Hampton attempted to advance to second, but the throw was cut off in the infield by the first baseman. As the first baseman tried to get Hampton at second base, the ball sailed into left center field, allowing Samluk to trot home and Hampton beat the throw home to make it a three run play.
After UMass-Lowell (4-3) got a run back in the eighth inning off reliever Jarrett Shaffer, the Wildcats struck again to keep the Riverhawks at bay. Sam Goines started the inning with a single into center. With runners on first and second, Johnson laced a double into right center, scoring both Goines and Fallers to move the lead out to 7-2.
Nick Marics came on and threw a perfect inning, closing the door on the Wildcats' third straight victory.
Samluk was the lone Wildcat to record multiple hits, going 2-for-4 with two RBI's and scoring a run. Castro and Fallers scored two runs each while Johnson added a pair of RBI's. Seven other Wildcats finished with one hit each, totaling the team's nine hits in the win.
Game two didn't go as easily for the Wildcats, as the offense couldn't solve starting pitcher Joe Perrotta who tossed a complete game shutout, allowing only six hits for the win.
Trailing 4-0 early, the Wildcats' best chance to get back into the ball game came in the fourth inning as they loaded the bases with no outs. Samluk and Hampton started the inning with back-to-back singles before Julius Ryland reached on an error, sacrificing the runners over. But Perrotta induced an infield flyout, recorded a strikeout and got out of the jam with a fly ball to right field to keep the Wildcats off the board.
Hampton paced the offense with two hits, extending his hitting streak to 12 straight games. He also hit his team leading seventh double of the year while starting in all 14 games at third base this season. He finished 2-for-4 against Lynn. Johnson, Samluk, Kyle Lindstrom and JR Gregory rounded out the other four hits for the Wildcats in the contest.
In a long stretch of games dating back to a four game set against Franklin Pierce to start the month of March, the Wildcats will play their 12th and 13th games in a nine day stretch, ending their Spring Break tomorrow afternoon. The Wildcats will play East Region opponent Molloy on Saturday in a doubleheader, with the first game starting at 3 p.m.

Would love a beta key! The less I have to rely on my dual-boot, the better. Not to mention, something based off DoTA = YAY!
key please
Honestly I'm not sure were, when and how linux gaming will be taken seriously. It's great to see companies like S2, id and others making great titles for linux but they are really a minority... It's hard and costly for the companies to target wide hardware range and at the same time different OS's. According to recent numbers only recently desktop linux usage reached 1% of the total market share... I hope this cenario changes quickly because I'm tired of dual-boot just because of gamming :P
One thing that really needs to appear are flexible, easy and powerfull frameworks to leaverage the work of dealing with portability. I know that there are great frameworks like OGRE and CS but I know from experience that they are no DX SDK by far.
Even little things like SMP are hardly perfect... Recently I worked with OpenMP and I must tell you that it's really hard to achieve the same efficiency when comparing to native hardcoded solutions...
Let's see how things evolve and maybe the current paradigm begins to change for better for the *nix world
Would love a beta key! The less I have to rely on my dual-boot, the better. Not to mention, something based off DoTA = YAY!
Great news. Hope the extra work pays of for them. I also would like a beta-key. thanks!
I'm not much of a RTS fan (having played the first C&C and Warcraft games, but not much more) but I'll do anything to help along Linux-based gaming. (That even means buying Linux games that I either already owned for Windows or that I wasn't going to play much anyway)
Luckily the future for graphics drivers seems bright, now if they would only do something about sound which most of the time seemd the most troublesome thing to get working with games!
So please, sign me up for a key
It's definitely nice to see some companies supporting Linux, perhaps some day this OS will really get some attention
I used to play DotA (under Wine) on Battle.net regularly some months ago (it's such a fun game once you get the grip and don't get powned all the time anymore), and I'd really love to get this experience natively on my Linux box. (that is, one more beta key for me please )
I would like to request a key for playing the game. I use linux since 2005, I'm software developer and I fully support people who develop games for linux
I would love to have a key. I've been using Ubuntu since 7.04 and would love to enjoy more gaming opportunities on it!
I am also interested in a key. I've been playing Savage2 for some time on my computer, and so I'm excited to try the new game by the company.
I wonder how it will perform on my Intel card (yes, the one with terrible performance)... Luckily I also have a Linux computer with an NVIDIA card, which so far has been good at handling any games I threw at it! (binary driver, of course)
I also would like a beta key.
I like playing PC games quite a bit. I am excited to see more coming to Linux. Hopefully we reach a "critical mass" point here soon!
Hi guys, would be cool if you give me a key for this Linux game. -- Thanks.

Tubal Ligation ReversalTopic OverviewTubal ligation is a surgical procedure in which a woman's fallopian tubes are blocked, cut, or sealed to prevent her eggs from traveling from the ovaries into the fallopian tubes, where they could be fertilized by a sperm. Tubal ligation is a highly effective form of birth control that is almost always permanent. Reversing a tubal ligation by reattaching the cut or sealed ends of the tubes is a major surgery. The success of surgery to reverse a tubal ligation depends on:
Depending on the method used for tubal ligation and how much of the fallopian tube is damaged after tubal ligation, success rates for reversals are about 70% to 80%.1 Women who have had a tubal ligation reversed have a higher-than-average risk of a fertilized egg implanting in the fallopian tube (ectopic pregnancy) rather than in the uterus. This can become a life-threatening emergency. Other considerations about having a tubal ligation reversed include the following:

Torres, Mets drop forgettable finale to Nationals
Right-hander allows eight runs on nine hits over three innings in DC
WASHINGTON -- With three days to go until the non-waiver Trade Deadline, the Mets have been advertising themselves as a team to be reckoned with. Forget fire sales; they are not bullish on the idea of trading anyone, because they consider themselves at least a decent team. Possibly even something more.
It is a noble line of thinking, but one that lost a touch of credibility this weekend. The Nationals pulverized Carlos Torres and the Mets on Sunday, 14-1, winning three of four games at Nationals Park to alter the landscape of New York's season.
"It's only a missed opportunity because we came in playing good," manager Terry Collins said. "We played good the first night. Yesterday, we didn't swing the bats and gave up some home runs. Today, we just got pounded."
As recently as Friday evening, the Mets were entertaining thoughts of a second-place perch and even a fringe Wild Card run in the weak National League East. Instead, they find themselves squarely back in fourth, despite all that trade candidate Marlon Byrd and others can do.
Sunday's scapegoat was Torres, whose sterling run as a starting pitcher screeched to a halt when he served up eight runs on nine hits in three innings. After breezing through a scoreless first, Torres gave up an RBI single to Wilson Ramos and a two-run single to Bryce Harper with two outs in the second. An inning later, Ramos' grand slam punctuated a five-run rally, which knocked Torres from the game.
"It was just one of those cases where ground balls were finding holes," said Torres, whose ERA ballooned from 0.94 to 3.13. "The balls that they hit were dropping in from the outfield with some timely, big hits. They're a good team, and you have to give credit where credit's due."
The Mets scored only once off Nationals rookie starter Taylor Jordan, whose six innings of one-run ball were enough for his first career victory. With David Wright out of the lineup for a routine day of rest, Byrd led the offense with two hits and an RBI. But his efforts went for naught in a game already out of hand by the time the Mets pushed across their first run.
"It's kind of a constant thing that we've fought for a lot of the year is the lack of run production," Collins said. "But we've been winning games because we've pitched, allowing us to get chances. When you get way behind, you can't get very aggressive on the bases and it kind of changes the way you play."
In theory, the Mets should enjoy some reprieve this week, when they travel to Miami -- players donned Panama hats and stylish beach wear for the occasion -- for a four-game set against the Marlins. But the Mets have struggled mightily this year with one of baseball's worst teams, losing all but three of their 11 contests against the Fish.
"We've got to pick it up and get into Miami and play better," Collins said, "and certainly pitch better than we did today."
During that upcoming series, the non-waiver Trade Deadline will pass, providing insight into the Mets' short-term plans. Hanging onto Byrd would signify their desire to salvage something from this season. Trading him would quite clearly indicate that they are looking forward to 2014.
Consider it among the many roster uncertainties that the Mets must solve in upcoming weeks. The team recently shifted to a six-man starting rotation in part because of the unexpected depth that Torres and Jenrry Mejia provided. The goal was to limit the rapidly-escalating innings totals of young starting pitchers Matt Harvey and Zack Wheeler by giving them extra days of rest each week.
But if Torres begins struggling as he has in years past with other teams, it could throw a sizable wrench into those plans.
"Today was one of those games where it was unfortunate, because we also had to use a lot of the bullpen," Torres said. "That's where I need to step up and eat up more innings, even if a situation like that arises again. We still need to get into the next couple games next series with a fresher bullpen than we had today."

Good call as there are infinite other outlets to watch the president if you so choose.
Republicans like to make fun of the President, but I hope they tune in and listen to the details.
Why do Republicans threaten the nation with default if taxes are raised on millionaires and billionaires, but have no problem raising taxes on everyone else? (payroll tax cut extension proposed by Obama)
Republicans passed their massive tax cut for the wealthy so where are the jobs? I thought all of those tax cuts were supposed to trickle down to the rest of us. All we have now is the greatest separation between rich and poor in over a century. The tax cuts increased the deficit, but haven't led to better jobs or wages.
If Republicans are so concerned about Medicare, then why won't they allow Medicare to negotiate with the drug companies for lower prices?
If "patriotic" Republicans are so eager to support infrastructure projects in other countries (billions wasted or stolen in Iraq), then why are they so hesitant to support infrastructure projects in this country? We have projects that need to be done and construction workers who need jobs. Many of the projects will be done by private contractors.
How do Republicans plan to jump start the economy? They keep pushing for more tax cuts, but the wealthy and corporations have tons of cash right now. The problem is there is no demand. Taking more money from Main Street to give more tax breaks to Wall Street makes no sense. -
Do you really feel Obama is going to come up with a lot of new ideas for creating jobs?? Come on.
president b.o. , this will be his third attempt on jobs proposal.
This from a man who scheduled air time for Wednesday night only to realize that the GOP debate was schedule in that time slot.
Then in his infinite wisdom reschedule the air time for Thursday , during the NFL league opener.
Do you think, that while in Martha's vineyard, he would have taken a little time to check his schedule for scheduling his important speech.
This president has no connection to the real people of this great country.
...........................................He is clues. -
Wow Democratsin 2012, a lot of anger in those words. Let's keep in mind that the Democrats still control Washington. You have no problem blaming the Republicans so I assume you believe the Democrats have done an outstanding job.
The Democrats had 100% control for 2 years of the Obama administration. They, the Dems spent hundreds of billions to no avail. Yes, we have Iraq and Afghanistan, if the Dems wanted to in those first 2 years to pull out, they could have, however, they chose not to. Everything you list could have been changed by Obama, Reid and Pelosi, but they did not.
So quit throwing stones to the Right when your own party let you down. Yes, the Republicans have a responsible for a good portion of our problems, as well as the Democrats do. Don't be such a hypocrite. -
"Democratsin2012" where have you been. The administration has already said that the President's speech on Thursday night will only be part of his plan. They plan on releasing bits and pieces of it over the next couple of months. By no means will the speech on Thursday offer a complete plan -- that's according to the White House staff.
So what are you hoping for? You run down the talking points you hear from every liberal. The Republicans did this. The GOP did that. What did the president do when he had a super majority in both Houses of Congress in his first two years? His efforts were so misguided that the people of the US voted overwhelmingly to replace Democrats with Republicans. Even the president admitted it was a route.
You can continue to say its the Republicans that have caused these problems but it was the people of the United States that voted these representatives into office -- and the other team out. -
Obama doesn't have details, he'll have to call Ayers or a union boss to fill him in on those
Let me save you the trouble of watching Obama's speech....blah, blah, blah....tea party.....blah, blah, blah......republicans......blah, blah, blah......the wealthiest americans......the end!
adding: oil companies, millionaires and billionaires, corporate jet owners, hedge fund managers, the folks out there, let me be clear, we've said from the beginning, we've said all along, balanced approach.
ride2fast... you forgot to mention.... "previous administration" and "not my fault".
Don't forget "changes in the tax code" and a steady stream of "I's"..
Don't forget... blah blah blah... more spending... blah blah blah... raise taxes on the rich... blah blah blah... shared sacrifice... blah blah blah...
There, between the four of us we gave you BHO's entire speech in a couple of minutes, saving everyone an hour of grief.... -
don't forget a few digs at Republicans and Tea Party for wanting to be fiscally responsible in a time of crisis. if you drink every time he says "and let me be clear" you'ld be passed out by the time the Pack starts
Yup, he might talk about some of those facts.
Would any of you like to defend your side instead of just predicting the lines of attack?
Personally, I think changing the tax code is a great idea. Lower rates for everyone and get rid of the loopholes.
I also agree that the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy should be allowed to expire while extending the payroll tax cut for everyone else. It makes no sense to give more tax breaks to the wealthy when they already have the largest concentration of wealth in over a century. The problem with our economy is the lack of demand from middle class consumers. All studies show that middle class tax cuts are stimulative since the money gets spent right away on food, rent, medicine, etc... I'm not sure why the Republicans want to block the extension of the payroll tax cut while still pushing for more upper income level tax cuts.
There is a huge amount of truth when Democrats talk about the problems George W. Bush left for this administration. The Bush tax cuts and the millions of jobs lost before Obama took office are a huge part of the current deficit.
Also, we do need a balanced approach. If we just focus on immediate cuts, the economy will be hurt. If we just focus on jobs programs and stimulus, then the debt will get too high. A balanced approach sounds good to me.
Will someone please debate the issues with me? Name calling and cheap shots do nothing. -
Tax cuts imply they will pay less than poor people. Not true, it's a misnomer meant to confuse the issue, just like tax "loophole." Loopholes are legal, or else they wouldn't be. Pretty simple. Kind of like the mythical "gun show loophole."
democratsin2012 - Wow some government employee has a lot of time on his hands.
to Demsin2012: I agree with much of what you state, however, I believe that tax rate hikes on the "wealthy" should start at a figure higher than $250k, maybe $500k. Definitely need tax code reform (lobbyists will never allow meaningful reform to happen though).
democratsin2012, ...........................................................................................
I hear you.....but this president b.o. has be in the game for close to three years.
Finally b.o. is addressing jobs issue. The fact is this should have been his formost issue in the beginning.... not passing obcare, or stimuless bill.
obcare doesn't really take effect until 2013 and stimuless was a total failure 1 trillion dollars blow'n out the window and the unemployment rate is 9 plus %.
Stimuless went to government, union jobs and paybacks and the unemployment just got worst.
History will not treat this one term president well. -
"Democratsin2012" if we have a change in the tax code I'm not sure how you could say lower rates for everyone since nearly 50 percent of the people in this country don't pay federal taxes -- not one dime. In fact millions get additional money in tax rebates even though they haven't paid taxes for years.
You like so many of your liberal cohorts continue to mention President Bush as the culprit behind our current economy when President Obama was promising that his economic plan would eliminate the budget deficit and reduce unemployment by half less than a week before his election. The economy was not a surprise. He and his advisors were well aware of the situation the country was in -- because as you point out -- it was occuring before Obama's election but he continued to make promises on being able to cure the economic probles we faced.
His policies haven't made a dent. In fact under his stimulous plans the only thing he's been good at is increasing the deficit to its highest level ever. And it's not because of unemployment. The 2012 budget will spend nearly three quarters of a trillion dollars more than Bush's last budget in 2008. -
ride...you forgot the MAIN one....
"shared sacrifice" !! -
Don't forget "I" about 50 times.
Watch an unfolding drama between the Pack and the Saints or Somemore Stimulus Different Day by Da Prez?
The media world is much bigger than Journal Communications' properties:
http://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-and-remarks -
This is the biggest "duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" decision ever for TMJ. Put him on digital 4-2, in the little weather window.
Good. Nobody wants to hear Obama's grand plans to steal money from us wealthy, successful entrepreneurs. We already pay enough, Barry. EABOD.
Any doubt that the company of Jeff Wagner and Charlie Sykes actually WOULD air the president's speech? Nope, none....
You do realize that the left-wing slanted Milwaukee Journal Sentinel is owned by the same company, right?
Honey, we're talking about an NBC affiliate not Fox. You will be tuned to MSNBC anyways so what are you getting your little head upset about. Contessa Brewer is gone.
They're simply making the decision that they know will produce the most viewers. I know principles of non subsidized, successful business are hard to grasp by the socialist left, so I won't go too hard on you. If it costs lots of money to pay the overhead, and for programming, you must offset those costs. How does a network do that? They sell advertisement. How do they make the most money with advertisement? They make their time slots worth as much as possible so that they can make the most money. They must think that their viewers would most likely want to see the pre-game show. Then, they will take their profits and be evil with them since we all know that every business should be a co-op, and give a joint smoking break once per hour.
Smart move, Obumbo can be heard, if you want to, on some other channel!
I still like the idea of shoving him in the weather window on 4-2 personally. :)
He'll be just as wrong as the extended forecast usually featured.
Jimmy Hoffa is not pleased.
Chris Matthews is and Oberman are going to sue TMJ now, thanks a lot channel 4. And in other news, Jessy Jackson is going to file suit against TMJ along with the NAACP for discrimination.
Given the racial make up of the NFL, that is one of the silliest comments I've seen in a while.
Well he didnt file suit when contessa brewer thought he was Al Sharpton. Now thats grounds for a suit. I guess all black ministers look alike.

Related MO questions: What is the general opinion on the Generalized Continuum Hypothesis? ; Completion of ZFC ; Complete resolutions of GCH
The Continuum Hypothesis (CH) posed by Cantor in 1890 asserts that $ \aleph_1=2^{\aleph_0}$. In other words, it asserts that every subset of the set of real numbers that contains the natural numbers has either the cardinality of the natural numbers or the cardinality of the real numbers. It was the first problem on the 1900 Hilbert's list of problems. The generalized continuum hypothesis asserts that there are no intermediate cardinals between every infinite set X and its power set.
Cohen proved that the CH is independent from the axioms of set theory. (Earlier Goedel showed that a positive answer is consistent with the axioms).
Several mathematicians proposed definite answers or approaches towards such answers regarding what the answer for the CH (and GCH) should be.
The question
My question asks for a description and explaination of the various approaches to the continuum hypothesis in a language which could be understood by non-professionals.
More background
I am aware of the existence of 2-3 approaches.
One is by Woodin described in two 2001 Notices of the AMS papers (part 1, part 2).
Another by Shelah (perhaps in this paper entitled "The Generalized Continuum Hypothesis revisited "). See also the paper entitled "You can enter Cantor paradize" (Offered in Haim's answer.);
There is a very nice presentation by Matt Foreman discussing Woodin's approach and some other avenues. Another description of Woodin's asnwer is by Lucca Belloti (also suggested by Haim).
The proposed asnwer $ 2^{\aleph_0}=\aleph_2$ goes back according to François to Goedel. It is (perhaps) mentioned in Foreman's presentation. (I heard also from Menachem Magidor that this answer might have some advantages.)
François G. Dorais mentioned an important paper by Todorcevic's entitled "Comparing the Continuuum with the First Two Uncountable Cardinals".
There is also a very rich theory (pcf theory) of cardinal arithmetic which deals with what can be proved in ZFC.
I included some information and links from the comments and answer in the body of question. What I would hope most from an answer is some friendly elementary descriptions of the proposed solutions.
There are by now a couple of long detailed excellent answers (that I still have to digest) by Joel David Hamkins and by Andres Caicedo and several other useful answers. (Unfortunately, I can accept only one answer.)
Update (Fenruary 2011): A new detailed answer was contributed by Justin Moore.
Update (Oct 2013) A user 'none' gave a link to an article by Peter Koellner about the current status of CH:
Update (Jan 2014) A related popular article in "Quanta:" To settle infinity dispute a new law of logic
(belated) update(Jan 2014) Joel David Hamkins links in a comment from 2012 a very interesting paper Is the dream solution to the continuum hypothesis attainable written by him about the possibility of a "dream solution to CH." A link to the paper and a short post can be found here.

World's trouble spots create employee safety risks
Blog Entry:

killing of 23 workers
in an attack on a natural gas plant in Algeria prompts Bloomberg to
how companies — including
Parker Hannifin Corp.
— approach security at their facilities in the world's trouble spots.
The horrific Algerian incident is prompting businesses operating in North Africa and other politically volatile regions to enact safety programs to protect employees, says Tim Husted of
Carlson Wagonlit Travel
. Companies are "very aware" of the militant attacks and are carrying out contingency plans, which may include relocation of non-essential personnel, he tells Bloomberg.
While threats to corporate facilities and employees are not a new problem, "improved technology and weaponry creates constantly shifting challenges that must be managed," Bloomberg notes. Global corporations increasingly "rely on their own intelligence networks to anticipate and respond to events that threaten workers' safety or damage their business," according to the story.
"Companies from energy and mining to transportation and hotels are hiring former military and government analysts, and investing in the most sophisticated surveillance and safety technology to improve their ability to avoid danger," Bloomberg reports.
Another strategy to boost security is, wherever possible, to avoid sending executives to dangerous places. That's the basic security measure taken at Parker Hannifin, a maker of motion and control equipment.
Bloomberg reports that CEO Don Washkewicz "canceled a trip to the Middle East after the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi in September that left the U.S. ambassador to Libya and three other embassy staff dead." He also will not travel to Colombia.
Parker, which has 311 manufacturing locations in 48 countries, provides security guards for executives traveling to places such as Brazil and Mexico. "You never can be 100% safe, but we try to be as safe as possible," Mr. Washkewicz tells Bloomberg.
Neighborhoods on the mend
USA Today
signs of economic progress
in some famous African-American neighborhoods nationwide, one of which is Cleveland's Fairfax neighborhood.
"As the country recovers from the recession, these communities and others like them are playing up what has made them famous: African-American history and culture," according to the newspaper, which focuses on Fairfax, Harlem in New York and Chicago's Bronzeville neighborhood.
"They're hoping their uniqueness will give them an edge in attracting new residents, businesses, shoppers and diners, especially since they also offer older housing with architectural character and nearness to downtown,"
USA Today
reports. "For some of these neighborhoods, it might be a matter of better networking with the power structure or with institutions that have cash to invest. For others, it appears to be a matter of self-esteem on a community level, realizing the worth of local history and weaving it into revitalization plans."
The Fairfax neighborhood, the newspaper notes, is one where poet Langston Hughes once lived and where a 98-year-old theater,
Karamu House
, launched his plays.
USA Today
says Fairfax "is undergoing revitalization in the form of the
PNC Fairfax Connection
, a $5 million, 6,400-square-foot education center for neighborhood children, built by
PNC Bank
, that opened in September."
It has a 5-foot iPad that can be projected onto a table and a 5-foot interactive map of the neighborhood, according to Paul Clark, regional president of PNC Bank and head of the educational center project. Neighborhood children are researching Fairfax history, the newspaper adds.
"Other projects include the Fairfax Intergenerational Housing Initiative, a project by the Cuyahoga County Housing Authority and the Fairfax Renaissance Development Corp., to build housing for grandparents who have legal custody of their grandchildren," according to
USA Today
"One of the reasons that PNC chose Fairfax was because there's such a rich culture there," Mr. Clark tells the newspaper.
Questionable powers of prognostication
You will not be impressed with the judgment of
Federal Reserve
officials when you read
this MarketWatch.com story
, based on transcripts of the central bank's monetary-policy meetings from 2007, which were released last Friday.
From the story:
The transcripts show a hopeful central bank as 2007 started, with Fed chairman Ben Bernanke speculating that the "worst" might be behind the economy when it came to the housing market.
At the January meeting, officials were talking about moderate growth. For instance, Fed Gov. Susan Bies, a former community banker, said she was feeling better about the housing market.
In March, Bernanke was publicly predicting moderate economic growth.
Even as late as June, Fed officials were relatively sanguine about the outlook.
Indeed, "throughout the first half of 2007, Fed officials were more worried about the prospects for higher inflation," the story notes. "Fed officials were slow to realize that problems in a corner of the marketplace, that of subprime mortgages, had rampaged across the balance sheets of the biggest U.S. and global banks through bonds that had been packaged by Wall Street firms."
By the Fed's August 2007 meeting, Mr. Bernanke said that Fed policy, in the longer term, "should be directed not toward protecting financial investors but rather toward our macroeconomic objectives," according to the story. He said there was only "a bit of a risk" for the economy "that, if credit is severely restricted so that we get feedback from lower house prices, for example, into the financial markets, that situation would be difficult to deal with."
By September, though, the Fed's outlook had changed dramatically for the worse.
As MarketWatch.com points out, Sandra Pianalto, president of the
Cleveland Fed
, said then, "I believe that the risks to the outlook, given no change in our policy, have shifted decisively toward potential rapid deterioration in the real economy."
Even by that point, though, "some Fed officials were holding out hope that the economy might escape the financial turmoil without serious damage."
For instance, the story notes that Dallas Fed president Richard Fisher told his colleagues that "some cow patties might show up in the punch bowls of some portfolios" due to the subprime mess, but there were no signs of a spillover into the rest of the economy.
"Not a single one of my thirty-five CEO interlocutors, except for the homebuilders, felt that the economy was at risk of falling off the table," Mr. Fisher said.

I've tried several products that use Fipronil and other than the big name brand (costing almost twice as much) this is the only one that really works for ticks. It's long lasting and I couldn't be happier with the results.

Hi blackshard,
I am not really good at testing these things, nor am I any good at writing code for this. But I do like having these tools, since on Windows there are some really nice ones.
So in the form of support for this project, can I send you a motherboard and CPU for the K8 processor? I have a MV-40 and a Athlon 64 3000 (754), working with the same mobo (MSI). Also, what other hardware do you have? Would a X2 3600 (AM2+) do you any good? I am having to guess at some of these specs since I don't have these with me right now.
I do wished that AMD would be willing to support these efforts by sending some hardware to developers.

we can't really do a 'spin' of Fedora with a completely different update model, it's too big a difference. spins are just different collections of packages from the release-time package set, fundamentally. you can't use the 'spins' model to have a different branch of Fedora with a completely different update policy, it doesn't scale that far.
I don't think we could have both a rolling release 'stable' Fedora and a stable release Fedora, it's essentially maintaining two different distributions and we don't have the dev resources for that. One of the reasons I think the rolling release model might be interesting for Fedora (to be clear this is a personal opinion and I'm not on any of the major Fedora boards or committees, there is no suggestion that this will actually _happen_, it's just me shootin' the breeze) is actually that we barely have the resources to support two or three stable releases at a time anyhow, and a rolling release model reduces the support burden quite considerably. If we were going to do it it'd probably only make sense to just switch.
BTW, you can kind of hack up a rolling release model with Fedora as it is, that's what I do on my desktop. It's not real pretty but it more or less works. I installed my system with F15, then when F16 Alpha came out, I yum upgraded to that, stuck on F16 till F17 Alpha came out, yum upgraded to that, and so on. The upgrade to Alpha can be a bit rocky and you can get some instability until the Beta comes out, but it's viable if you don't mind fixing things up now and again.
On an LTS release, the problem is really the same as the release model thing - resources. Supporting a release for a long time takes considerable resources and Fedora just doesn't have those. There's really nothing at all to stop it happening if people wanted to make it happen, this has been the case for years - all it would take is a group of people to step up and say they'll act as the long-term maintenance team, porting security fixes back to packages that are three or four years old. So far, no-one wants to do that, and corporate sponsors like RH don't see any value in paying anyone to do it. So it doesn't happen. If someone did step up, though, it could happen.

Looking for Integrated Amplifiers?
Start shoppingSay 'Hello' to High-end Audio With Your Computer
We've been selling Peachtree Audio's Nova for a while now. For those of you who've never heard of it, the Nova is an integrated amplifier/DAC that's designed to give you audiophile sound with your digital music sources, i.e. all those songs you bought on iTunes and store on your computer. But Peachtree's DS5.5 bookshelf speakers are a new addition to our line up.
They're designed to match Peachtree's integrated amp in both looks and sound. Each DS5.5 has a 5" long-throw woofer for deep bass, and a silk dome tweeter for crystal-clear, musical highs. The beautiful real-wood veneer cabinets — available in three different colors to match the finish on the Nova — bring a touch of elegance to your work environment. All together, they sure beat all of the sub-par sounding, plastic computer speakers on the market by leaps and bounds.
In fact, put the pair together and you've got one sweet-sounding computer speaker system. And in an age when most people spend eight hours a day or more tethered in front of a computer, isn't it worth it to try to get the best sound possible? Here's what David Solomon, one of the founders and President of Peachtree Audio, has to say in his new blog, "Computer Audio."
"Our end goal was to make an integrated amplifier specifically to make computers and other digital music devices sound as good as or better than any CD player on the market....Years ago, it became obvious that computers and iPods were here to stay. It was also painfully obvious that the upper end Consumer Electronics industry was largely ignoring this trend."
Here at Crutchfield, we sympathize with David. Which is why we began our Hi-Fi 2.0 initiative not too long ago, and began stocking our warehouse with high-end audio equipment for our customers. And that's where Peachtree's amp and speaker combo comes in. It's geared towards audiophiles who enjoy the convenience of keeping their music library on their computer, but who may not be enjoying the sound quality of most of the songs that they've bought on popular sites like iTunes and Amazon. David also says,
"So many have burned and or downloaded thousands of songs in this lower resolution format without even knowing it. So if you do have lots of songs burned in 128kbps, it's okay because it turns out that if you transfer the low res music in a digital format directly to a DAC, then run it through a good tube section and high current amplifier, this music can sound fine."
Add on the DS5.5 bookshelf speakers with their woofer/tweeter combination and high-quality cabinets, and you've got a high-end speaker system attached to your computer. The result? High-quality sound where you spend a large chunk of your day and need it most.

I was thinking to myself the other day on better ways to use this blog. There are loads of impressive blogs on PC and I feel like mine is being wasted. So I was wondering - would anyone care to read this blog more of I reviewed albums from time to time? I have an intense love for music, and it's something I quite enjoy. I just wouldn't wanna do it if no one cared.

This has been playing on my mind for a while. This is topic particularly bugs me, as all my living/in contact family members, apart from my granddad, are female. This has lead me to highly respect women. So it's deeply annoying to me personally when we still see examples of inequality of the sexes. Especially when it comes to sexualisation.
First of all I wanted to talk about the media's relentless attacks on women for how the look, but not men (as much).

Seattle to be rocking for Felix's home debut
Mariners holding 'Supreme Court' night for opener with A's
SEATTLE -- Felix Hernandez will get the chance to build on his strong start to the 2014 season in front of a special "Supreme Court" crowd in his home debut Friday night against the Athletics.
As part of the promotion, the first 25,000 fans at Safeco Field will receive yellow commemorative T-shirts and "K" cards. It will mark the third time the club has expanded the "King's Court" from a section of a few hundred seats down the left-field line to include most of the stadium.
During every home start for Hernandez, fans in the "King's Court" chant "K" repeatedly in unison and hold up their signs when the Mariners ace gets two strikes on a batter. With the "Supreme Court," the whole stadium is invited to join in the unique tradition.
On Aug. 21, 2012, the Mariners introduced the expanded section to celebrate Hernandez's perfect game in his previous start. Due to the event's success, the club has featured a "Supreme Court" crowd for Hernandez's home debut each ensuing season.
"That was unreal," Hernandez said of his initial reaction to the super-sized cheering section. "It was super sick. It was awesome."
Hernandez was all of those adjectives last week in a 3-1 win over the A's in Oakland. The right-hander scattered six hits and one run in 8 1/3 innings while striking out eight and walking just one.
Though he didn't record his first complete game of the season, Hernandez improved to 2-0 and lowered his ERA to 1.88. In two starts, Hernandez has thrown 14 1/3 innings while yielding just three earned runs, striking out 19 and walking two.
"I'm going to attack the hitters the same way I did last time," Hernandez said. "If I have to make an adjustment, I'm going to make an adjustment."
On Friday, he'll oppose A's left-hander Tommy Milone, who'll be making his season debut after he missed his scheduled start last week when the soggy playing field at O.co Coliseum caused the game to be postponed.
Oakland's starters have allowed three runs or fewer in each of the first nine games, for a 1.93 ERA.
"They've done a great job ... so far so good," third baseman Josh Donaldson said. "That's what we expect from them, to go out there and give us a chance to win every game, and so far, they have."
Athletics: Top prospect sidelined by hamstring injury
Shortstop Addison Russell, the top prospect in the A's farm system, was diagnosed with a Grade 3 right hamstring strain on Wednesday that is expected to sideline the 2012 first-round Draft pick for at least a month.
Russell had a minor hamstring injury, also on his right leg, during Spring Training, but this injury is believed to be in a different part of the hamstring. The shortstop came out of his Double-A game with the Midland RockHounds on Friday and hadn't played since. He was placed on the disabled list, retroactive to Saturday.
Russell, the 11th overall selection in the 2012 Draft, homered in Friday's game, the second contest of the season. He had five hits in his first seven at-bats before the injury, coming out of the game with what he thought was a cramp.
Mariners: Smoak off to hot start
Though the sample size is small, first baseman Justin Smoak looked like a rejuvenated hitter entering Wednesday's finale against the Angels. In his first seven games, he batted .321 (9-for-28) with two home runs, five extra-base hits and a 1.030 OPS. The switch-hitter also leads the club with nine RBIs and ranked first in the American League with eight two-out RBIs.
As a right-handed batter, Smoak is hitting .417 (5-for-12) with two doubles and four RBIs after posting a .192/.274/.274 line from the right side last season.
"I'm just trying to get to a spot where I'm relaxed in the box. I've stood up a little more and I'm trying to stay middle of the field, the other way," he said Wednesday. "If they come in, react. That's kind of been the key for me. The last few years I've been pull-happy when I hit right-handed, and we all know how that worked out."
Worth noting
• With a 5-3 win Tuesday night against the Angels, the Mariners improved to 23-15 (.605 winning percentage) all-time in home openers.
• Rookie southpaw James Paxton entered rare company, before being placed on the 15-day disabled list Wednesday with a strained lat muscle behind his left shoulder. On Tuesday against the Angels, Paxton improved his career record to 5-0 (in six starts) with five innings of four-hit, three-run ball. He lowered his ERA to 1.75, overtaking Hernandez for the lowest mark through six starts in franchise history.

"I've been wearing this shoe series since the 1008's and I loved them up until the 1012's. I tried sticking with these shoes thinking it was a fluke, but I'm done after the second pair. They are definitely comfortable, but wear out extremely fast due to what seems like cheaper material/manufacturing. I'm not picky either. I had to super-glue the front tip of the sole on one of the shoes since it was already coming off when I bought the pair. I really do love these shoes and the comfort and stability they provide. I just wish that they were made a little better. I typically wear the shoes for working out, cardio, and basketball."

DoD, VA's health IT efforts grow out of leadership, necessity
Tuesday - 9/18/2012, 3:35am EDT
Ruben Gomez, reporter, Federal News Radio
The departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs are preparing to release a new request for proposals under their integrated electronic health records (iEHR) initiative, a move that will represent the latest sign of renewed progress in a complex effort to marry both departments' health IT systems.
The RFPs, expected in late October or early November, will support digital clinical capabilities, such as pharmacy services and immunization records, said Barclay Butler, the head of the Interagency Program Office (IPO).
But in a broader context, they also will serve as a reminder that DoD and VA so far have managed to revitalize a floundering effort to modernize how both departments deliver healthcare to service members, veterans and their families.
Why health IT was rated effective |
Reason #1: VA and Defense sign policy memo enshrining the creation of a common EHR system
Reason #2: VA announces its electronic health records are open source for others to share and develop Reason #3: DoD and VA ahead of schedule on EHR system due to lessons learned from pilot programs (More primary source material available on The Obama Impact Resource Page) |
"We are just completing the development of our plans," Butler said. "We are now deploying and developing our infrastructure, and we are working to have our early clinical capabilities competed."
For these and other reasons, Federal News Radio is rating the Obama administration's efforts to modernize DoD-VA electronic health record as effective as part of our special week-long multimedia series, The Obama Impact: Evaluating the Last Four Years. Throughout the series, Federal News Radio examines 23 different administration ideas and initiatives and ranks them as effective, ineffective or more progress needed.
Defense and VA leaders have a 2017 deadline to meet full operating capability, but they already have achieved success in a number of areas, Butler said.
In 2011, for example, VA announced plans to open its electronic health record system for others to share and develop. And both departments launched a pilot to test the interoperable record at the VA medical center in Chicago.
Bounce-back from a shaky start
Defense and VA leaders began discussing iEHRs before the Obama administration took office. But the initiative failed to gain much traction because of management and resource problems, said Butler and industry experts working on the health IT effort.
The IPO, which coordinates the program, "really got its strength when the secretaries re-chartered us in October of 2011," Butler said. "This is when the secretaries saw that they needed a more robust program office, an IPO that was staffed and funded in order to accomplish this very large effort."
Barclay Butler, director, Interagency Program Office
DoD and VA have increased IPO staffing by more than 90 percent since 2008, growing the office's payroll to about 240 employees.
To push the iEHR initiative forward, the IPO deployed an incremental development approach with the aim of helping DoD and VA adapt to fast-changing technologies. The first increment of the iEHR will begin to roll out this fall to pilot sites in San Antonio; Portsmouth, Va.; Honolulu and Germany, with initial capabilities including single sign-on.
"Single sign-on means that as a doctor moves from exam room to exam room, they just pull their common access card, or their personal identity verification card, out of that computer that's in the first exam room and plug it into the next exam room, and their system immediately comes up," Butler said. "They're not wasting time doing logins and spending time focusing on the computer. They're taking that time and focusing in on the patient."
Extra resources for the IPO serve as evidence the administration is committed to generating meaningful progress in the health IT initiative, said Ed Meagher, a former VA chief information officer and a supporter of the President's reelection effort.
"When I was at the VA, we talked a lot about doing something like this. But I will tell you that the difference here [is] leadership," he said.
DoD and VA leaders have increased their involvement in the initiative.
Additional support from the top has proved to be the impetus behind progress, said Dr. Robert Wah, a CSC vice president and a former deputy national coordinator for health IT.
"I think it's been successful in that they have moved, I think, a great deal in terms of organizationally and governance-wise to come together," he said.
Too little, too late
But the act of combining millions of health records from two complex, separate systems has its challenges. And progress made comes too late for Rep. Jeff Miller (R-Fla.), chairman of the Veterans Affairs Committee.
"I guess the grade of the month that people talk about around Washington these days is 'incomplete.' And if there was a grade worse than incomplete, I would give them that," he said. "I've heard a lot of talk, seen a lot of money spent and really have seen very little in terms of receipt upon the investment that's been made."

Miller said DOD and VA are stuck in health IT leadership turf battles, which has slowed their ability to deploy common standards and technologies for iEHRs.
"The problem has been the systems won't talk to each other," he said. "I'll bet you that you could set up some type of a contest up in the Northwest and some enterprising, young IT professional could solve the problem quickly. Why we can't do it at the federal level is beyond me."
While he didn't embrace the concept of a contest, Meagher said the IPO must find a way to overcome the challenges of modernizing the same system servicemembers, veterans and their families rely on for healthcare in the here and now.
"I would liken it to completely overhauling two airplanes while they're both in flight, and trying to decide how they become one airplane while they're in flight," he said.

From the Wildhorse and Rocky Butte mines in the great state of Oregon comes the natural beauty of green Saturn jasper and brown poppy jasper gemstones. Simple yet striking, round cabochons of green Saturn jasper and oval cabochons of speckled brown jasper are connected with beaded sterling silver for a bracelet that is earthy and genuine. Bracelet measures 7-1/2" long, is adjustable to 8-1/4" and has a toggle bar clasp. Mined and made in America.
Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the genuine gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

Garry Rayno's State House Dome: Budget plan creates winners and losers
This is the first budget plan in some time that received bipartisan support, as both political leaders in the House and Senate have said they will be voting for the compromise budget on Wednesday.
A good example is the Department of Health and Human Services. The beleaguered mental health system will receive a $28 million boost if the plan gets final approval; the developmentally disabled wait-list for services will be eliminated; and much of the Children in Need of Services (CHINS) program will be reinstated.
For state employees, the news is a little better than it might have been, but 200 to 350 layoffs are not pretty.
But budget writers included $17 million in state general funds and $34 million in total funds to give state employees their first pay raise in five years. Yet the state's largest union voted last week to turn down the contract because of health insurance deductibles and changes in sick leave policy.
There are some clear winners in this budget plan, and perhaps the biggest are the New Hampshire Community College System and the University System of New Hampshire, which combined would receive $100 million more state aid than they did last biennium.
And state college students will be able to reapply to the UNIQUE scholarship program, which was suspended for the last two budgets when the money was used in other places.
The New Hampshire State Police agency will grow with 10 new officers in the compromise budget. Also there will be money to hire civilians to free up five troopers who now do indirect law enforcement work. The increases will allow for more coverage in spotty areas, including the North Country, and a bigger presence in the southern half of the state.
Schools districts - about 58 including Dover - whose growth in enrollment tops 5 percent, are also winners in the new budget. The current formula for education aid allows additional money for schools whose enrollments grow up to 5 percent, but the budget raises that to 8 percent, which will provide the growing districts with about $3 million more in state aid.
Also, conservationists will be pleased to know the new budget fully funds the Land and Community Heritage Investment Program at $8 million.
And new Attorney General Joe Foster will not have to find $250,000 in his budget to send to towns in the Merrimack River and Connecticut River watersheds in lieu of Massachusetts' payment for lost property due to flood control areas.
Another loser in the budget is the Interstate 93 expansion project, which will run out of money early next year unless lawmakers take quick action. The 12 cent gas tax hike the House approved but the Senate killed did not rear its head during budget negotiations.
Money for renewable energy projects was the incredible shrinking kid in the compromise budget, as lawmakers raided the renewable energy fund for $16 million to help balance the budget.
The needy high school robotics teams that compete in the FIRST competition will not receive any state help the next two years. Budget writers could not find the $200,000 needed to fund the program.
The best they could do with the reluctant Senate was a study commission that has to report its findings by Oct. 15.
So for the next four-and-a-half months, everyone, including the senators who claimed they needed more time to study the issue, will hear more than they ever wanted to know about Medicaid expansion.
The agreement on committee membership allows the Senate president to appoint three member and the House speaker to appoint three members. The governor, House speaker and Senate president each name one person from the general public.
Is there any question how that vote is going to go?

Christmas is all about tradition.
Sure, the presents are great, and I enjoy watching my kid get stoked for 20 minutes of gift opening on Christmas morning after what to her seems centuries of waiting from the time the tree goes up. But it is the pop culture tradition of holiday classics, as well as some finer performance art, that sit head and shoulders above the non-American-made junk that clutters so many homes on Christmas morn.
For me, Christmas means "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians," the 1964 lemon that often appears on some of the "worst movies ever made" lists. I'm also down with the almost-ceremonial viewing of "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer." There is also the audio-visual treat that is "A Charlie Brown Christmas." Vince Guaraldi's soundtrack is the best Christmas album you'll find. Then there's "The Nutcracker."
"The Nutcracker" will be performed four times this weekend by the State Street Ballet of Santa Barbara – tonight, two shows Saturday and again Sunday afternoon.
It could be argued that "The Nutcracker" is the most celebrated ballet and classical score that has ever been performed. A range of musicians and bands including Duke Ellington, The Disco Biscuits and the Trans-Siberian Orchestra have all put their own twist on the familiar pieces that Tchaikovsky penned in 1892. It has also been dropped countless times into television and film; Disney's "Fantasia," "The Simpsons," "Animaniacs" and even Beavis and Butthead are just a few of the Hollywood heavies who have referenced, hummed or sung along to the music.
The Concert Hall production will feature more than 70 local dancers to augment the State Street Ballet. Concert Hall Director Charles Leslie said it is one of the biggest productions at the venue.
"There are 150 costumes alone," Leslie said. "Then there are sets and props, there's a lot of people in black clothes backstage you don't see, pulling on ropes, raising props, doing all kinds of things to put it together. It's a pretty active event."
It also serves as an introduction for many into a new world of high culture; think of it as the gateway drug of the fine arts.
"'The Nutcracker,' for a lot of people, is the first time they've ever seen ballet, and the first time they've listened to classical music, all combined into one," Leslie said.
It's a tradition that remains important to Leslie and for the Concert Hall. "The Nutcracker" has been performed there for the last eight years, with State Street performing it for six of them. It fits the mission of the Concert Hall, to bring events that are not found in other venues in town. The relationship built between ballet company, venue and local performers is celebrated by all.
"What's great about the State Street Ballet is they love to work with us locally," Leslie said. "It keeps growing and growing, and people are embracing it as the holiday tradition."

Today, the twenty-seventh day of July, 1791, at four o'clock in the morning, Monsieur Francois Menard, merchant in this post, asked us to come. Having gone to him at his request, we found him to be of sound mind; and he swore to us, in the presence of the undersigned witnesses, that he wanted to make a testament, as he did in the following manner. Ignace Delino As witness Duchassin Commandant Manuel Reyes Witness Francois Vaugine Witness In the name of the father, and of the son, and of the holy spirit, Amen. First, he commends his soul to God its creator and remits his body to the ground from which it was created. He believes in all the mysteries of faith and other matters ordained by our Holy Mother Church, and disposes of his goods in the following form. Second. He declares that he is married in lawful matrimony to Madelaine Enselmy Billiet. Third. I* declare that I have no children by my said wife and do not believe that she is pregnant. Fourth. I declare that my property consists of six black males, who are Hector, Ignace, Pierre, Joseph, Jacques, and Leveille, and five black females, who are Quitte, Rose, Manette, Maria Marte, and Victoria. Fifth. I declare that I have three runaway slaves, who are Bobe, Marianne, and their daughter. All three are said to be living among the Choctaws. I declare that all the effects, merchandise, and liquor that are located in my house belong to me, as do all the notes and obligations that are locked in my writing desk. Sixth. I declare that I have a quantity of horses and animals in this post. Seventh. I declare that I have a house in town [i.e., New Orleans], situated in the Rue de la Madame Boisclare, which house ought to be repaired according to what is agreed to in an act that ___________________________________ *The testament abruptly changes here from the third person to the first person.
