Off Field
Ohio Soldiers from the 37th Infantry Brigade Combat Team and their coalition partners on Camp Mike Spann, Afghanistan, offer up encouragement to the Columbus Crew for the upcoming 2012 Military Appreciation Night. From all of Crew Soccer Nation, thank you for your service and come home safe! Go Crew!!
Since its debut on March 31 in Toronto, Robert Warzycha has earned style points among the Black & Gold faithful for the sleek black Adidas jacket he's sported on the touchline. Every time the Crew head coach wears the jacket, tweets begin to roll in from fans asking where they can purchase the latest piece of outerwear in Warzycha's wardrobe.
The bad news for Crew fans: Warzycha's jacket is the only one of its kind that exists.
When I asked Warzycha about the jacket's origins, the Crew head coach replied, "It's one of a kind. I can't say."
To learn more of the jacket's mysterious beginnings, I consulted defending MLS Equipment Manager of the Year Rusty Wummel for answers.
"It's a one of a kind jacket," Wummel explained. "When the whole line changed over, because everything goes through a cycle and it will change over again in the next couple of years, that jacket was a prototype presentation suit jacket to be used for travel, appearances, and also for games."
"Somewhere along the way, that jacket was switched to our yellow hoodie jacket," he continued. "It was a prototype jacket that never made it through production"
The Black & Gold is currently undefeated in the five away matches (Toronto, Portland, San Jose, Seattle, and New England) that Warzycha has worn the jacket. Though Warzycha claims he's not superstitious, he admits he'll have the jacket handy during the summer months when it won't be needed due to the 90 degree temperatures currently blanketing Columbus.
"Some of the guys wear scarves even in the summer," Warzycha said with a laugh. "I'm at least going to have (the jacket) in the locker room."
Whether or not the jacket is responsible for the Crew's success doesn't take away from the jacket's flair.
"Superstition or not, we're doing well as a team right now," Wummel said. "But it is a cool jacket."
Crew fans get ready to "Put out the Fire" not only on the pitch but also on Twitter! Fans are encouraged to use the hashtag #VoteCrew to help spread the word and get out and vote for the Black & Gold for MLS All-Star on July 25th in Philadelphia. The Chicago Fire will be using the hashtag #VoteFire during the same time and just before kickoff on Saturday, June 23rd we will calculate the results between the two teams to see who is the winner.
To vote for your favorite players log onto MLSsoccer.com/allstar or text the player's last name only to 22442.
Twitter Voting for the First XI players to be named MLS All-Stars will run from 12 p.m. ET on Thursday, June 21 through 11:59 p.m. ET on Friday, June 22.
The terms for Twitter voting are as follows:

Robert Warzycha gave the Crew a break on Thursday and Friday, let's take a look at how some of the players enjoyed their day off with some help from Twitter:
Center back Josh Williams took a drive up I-71 to his hometown of Copley, Ohio to enjoy some downtime:
So good to be back home!!!
— Josh Williams (@josh3williams) May 31, 2012
His partner in central defense Eric Gehrig also made a trip home to Northwest Indiana, or as the locals affectionately call it: "The Region."
Out for lunch with my familyyyyy, maybe some shopping and then hittin Chicago tonight :) #yippeee

With the Memorial Tournament happening this weekend in Columbus, a few members of the team decided to cheer on the likes of Rory McIlroy, Tiger Woods, and Rickie Fowler.
Great day and beautiful weather out at the @MemorialGolf tournament!

In this edition of Throwback Thursday, we pay homage to the most infamous jersey in US National Team history: the denim kit. Here is Crew assistant coach Mike Lapper's head shot wearing the star-laden uniform. Lapper represented the United States in the 1994 World Cup on home soil.
Justin Meram talks with TheCrew.com about his recent induction into the NJCAA Hall of Fame and his golazo that is up for Goal of the Week:
Good news! Our proposed 100-foot signage marquee is another step closer to reality, after unanimous passage (with conditions) by the City Graphics Commission on Tuesday. The Graphics Commission hears requests for variances, special permits, appeals, graphics plans and certain miscellaneous graphics. The Crew's proposal, for a cylindrical tower on the North side of Crew Stadium facing I-71, will now be considered by the Ohio Expositions Commission, which manages the State Fairgrounds property on which Crew Stadium is located.
Crew Brand Ambassador Frankie Hejduk joined the Ohio Machine to attempt to break the World Record for largest lacrosse game in celebration for Columbus' Bicentennial and the Ohio Machine's inaugural season. The Machine's home opener is Saturday, May 19th 8:00pm at Selby Stadium in Deleware, OH on the campus of Ohio Wesleyan University.
Like Brian Bliss and Duncan Oughton, Crew goalkeeper William Hesmer weighed in on his All-Time MLS Best XI. Hesmer deviated from Bliss and Oughton's 3-5-2 formation to go with a 4-1-4-1 look. The veteran 'keeper chose a very American-laden lineup with the exception of Canadian Dwayne De Rosario and former Crew teammate Guillermo Barros Schelotto, check it out:

"Buy it!"
If you care at all about the English language you must use 2 1/2 hours of your time on the planet listening to this work. It is possibly the simplest scenario imaginable for a novel but is completed with style and economy which is what made Hemingway unique. The icing on the cake is that Sutherland's narration is nearly as exceptional as the book itself. Buy it!
"Orwell's best?"
OK. Orwell is one of the most important writers in the English language. 1984 is probably the book that saved us from living entirely in the society it describes. And all of 1984 is here, in embryo, disguised as a book about going back to your youth and it's environs.
Orwell is always at his most fluid when he is describing politics or nature and here he goes full pelt at both of them. The Two Minutes Hate is here. Duckspeak is here. And so is the Golden Country. And here the description of the Golden Country is given full reign. And runs to cover quite a bit of the first few chapters.
I allow myself the conceit that George Bowling, the main protagonist, is actually the father of the Winston Smith of 1984. The timeline is nearly right and there are aspects of Bowling's story that make it just about possible. I'm pretty sure that Orwell had no intention to make it so but the two stories definitely flow into each other in a way that this idea enhances.
The story is however mainly about the coarseness of progress and the loss of rural life to commercialism, speculation and "airy fairynesss" for lack of a better phrase. This novel was published during the period where totalitarian states were taking actions that Orwell recognised as leading to inevitable war but before the actual outbreak of conflict for Britain. As such it is an important window onto that period of history.
The narration is very good and the overall production is excellent.
If you only ever read one Orwell it should be this one, but shame on you if it is.
"Childhood, welcome back"
A very long time ago my infant school teacher read us all Stig of the Dump. Out loud and in its entirety. She was better at it than Tony Robinson or maybe it's just that my 6 year old mind was more impressed by her rendition. Whichever it was, the title has been in my head ever since, along with at least some of the scenes in the story.
It's a simple kind of story but with enough nuance to be interesting and if you are listening along with younger readers nobody will get lost and nobody should get bored. The language is simple without being condescending and Robinson actually does a very good job with it.
It's about the kind of everyday adventures that I had as a boy with just a little bit of extension to make them that bit more exciting. The kind of thing that we certainly used to believe was just about possible before, sadly, we learned better. Share it with a child before they learn better.
"Now the movie makes sense"
I love the movie and remember just how "other" it seemed when it was first release.
But it never made sense.
Now it does.
"An Englishman's ditch is his castle"
This is one of the (many) books I have loved. I read it first when I was about 12 and the plot and some of its scenes have lived in my head for a very long time.
It is very English.
It is very 30's.
It is very good.
It's Englishness and it's 30'sness mean that some of its language and some of its sensibilities will jar on many 21st century minds. Get over it. The point of historical texts is to let us see where we came from and this does that well.
The writing is clear and direct. The language is simple and the descriptions are concise. The story is simple in concept but deep enough to stay interesting.
It translates well to audio and Browne's narration is clear and without excessive characterisation.
This will make it to the repeat listen list with no problem.
"Great performance. Loathsome character"
Gordon Comstock may just be the least appealing character in any book I have ever read. Whining, self pitying, grasping (of everything but money) he is almost completely devoid of human sympathy. At one point I nearly abandoned the book because he is such an unsympathetic persona.
But it is an Orwell. You can't give up on an Orwell. It's the law. And Gordon does finally redeem himself for the most human of all reasons. If you love Orwell you need to work your way through all of his work. If you don't love Orwell you need to work your way through all of his work so that you eventually will. This is certainly no "Animal Farm" and "Coming up for Air" is a friendlier read (next please Audible) but it certainly repays the listening time.
Richard E Grant's performance is excellent. Just the right amount of self important sneer in his voice and just the right tone of undeserved and unappreciated privilege in his delivery. All round a very good audiobook.
"The difficult second album......."
I relisten to "The Scarlet Pimpernel" frequently but this isn't going to make it to the repeats list.
It lacks the humour and adventure of the original and spends too much time talking about how luuuuuuvly Blakeney is and how much she luuuuuuvs him and frankly it wears a bit thin after an hour or so. But maybe that's just me.
"Not what it could be."
This should have been a fascinating exploration of the techniques and methods used in this interesting and important aspect of the second world war, and by extension war more generally. But it isn't. It expends too much effort on who did what and when they did it and not enough on what they did.
The narration is OK and the details are vaguely interesting but the trick is missed.
"I gave in."
I don't often give in on a book. This one, this time, I did. And about 80% of the way through! On the rare occassions when I abandon a book it is usually early on but this one took hours to grind me down.
I suspect that I kept giving it the benefit of the doubt because I have enjoyed other tiles in the Flashman series.It may be because the historical background to this one is little known to me. It may be because the narration didn't strike me as well fitted. It may be because even a great author (MacDonald Fraser is quite good but definitely not great) pushes out a dud every now and then. More realisically it is a mix of all of them.
I came to this after relistening to an old Flashman favourite (F in the Great Game) and a new addition (Flashman).
The first of these is narrated by Timothy West who is perfect for the part.
The second by Rupert Penry-Jones who was startlingly adequate at the role. I was wthin a whisker of abandoning that one when it finished.
But this title is narrated by Toby Stephens whose performance was as patchy as they come. The reason West is perfect is because these are the memoirs of a man being read in his later years relating his exploits as a young man. They should be read by an old duffer and Timothy West does old duffer about a hundred times better than either of the other two. I'll be willing to bet cash money that he costs more than either of the other two but the quality is there all the way through the recording. It just sounds very very wrong to have a 12 year olds voice reading an old man story.
So I'm left up a stump now. I had intended to build a listening career on this series but now find that unless they are narrated by West I am quite likely to abandon them.
My advice is probably to either only listen to the ones narrated by West or never listen to them. Without his performance they are pretty insipid stuff.
"The way it should be done."
I purchased this with some small fear. Not about Twain's part of it but because the first volume was ballasted with way too much information about who the editors and compilers were and how clever they had been in editing and compiling the work. And in volume 1 it was all at the beginning of the book and of the chapters so at no time was it safe to use the guff blocker that is labelled "fast forward".
But this edition is done the way it should be done. Hoorah!!!! There is still some content about the editors and financial contributors, as I am sure is only fair. But it is all at the end. Hoorah Hoorah!! Puttng it there, where it belongs, means that as a listener you have been able to enjoy Twain's stream of consciousness after which you realise how much you should be grateful to the people in the credits section and are happy to listen to it and give them credit.
Grover Gardner is an inspired choice as narrator reading the material with inflection and style. Getting excited in the exciting bits and amused in the amusing bits. If anybody ever wants an example of how an audiobook should be performed then they shoulduse this as their guide.
As to the content - It's Twain - Just buy it.
"Bit tedious really."
I could not help visualising a scene in the office of Haggard's publisher where the publisher is saying
"Can't you do King Solomon's Mines 2 - The Return or something like that. That I can sell."
"All the same old stereotypes?" asks Haggard
"Of course. Oh - do you think you can fit a cowardly and stupid Frenchman in there as well. Everybody likes a cowardly Frenchman. Oooh Ooooh - I know - make him a chef"
"Not a problem" says Haggard as he gets up to leave.
And that's what he did. Same old stiff upper lip nationalism. Same set piece action scenes. Same over elaborate pointless descriptions with bizzare irrelevant details which go on and on and on.
Narration carefully chosen to be as pompous as the writing. And I usually like this stuff!!!!

Hail Cthulhu! What Ms. Lovecraft Teaches. Or, Why Conservatives Fear Sex Ed in Schools.
The hideous pagan abominations of sex education are revealed in Late Bloomer, a horrifying coming of age story from Craig Macneill and Clay McLeod. All the terrifying implications and outright fears of conservative are laid bare as the blood curdling revelations of sexuality drive the narrator mad, mad I tell you!
Hail Cthulhu! And yeah, Bill O'R'lyeh will need a fresh loofah and some falafel after watching this.
(While there is no nudity, Late Bloomer might be a bit much for younger kids, though anyone who has watched One Tree Hill or Gossip Girl should be fine with it).

Coccydynia is pain in the area of the coccyx (tailbone). It is a small, curved, V-shaped bone at the bottom of the spine.
The tailbone can be found at the end of the spinal column. It supports the body in a sitting position and helps transfer body weight during changes in sitting positions. It is also an area where muscles, nerves, ligaments, and tendons from other locations in the body come together. Excess pressure can affect these structures.
In most cases, the specific cause of coccydynia is unknown. Other times, it may be caused by:
- Trauma or injury from falls
- Tailbone shift during childbirth
- Other stress that affects that tailbone
Pain can come from bones, muscles, nerves, or supporting structures.
Risk Factors
Coccydynia is more common in females. Other factors that may increase your chance of coccydynia include:
- Brittle bones, which can occur with osteoporosis
- Joint inflammation or changes in bone structure, which can occur with arthritis
- Participation in contact sports or certain activities, such as horseback riding
- Dislocation from injury or obesity , which can cause bones to shift
- Prolonged sitting on hard surfaces
- Low back pain
- Infections, such as osteomyelitis
- Spinal cyst or tumor
Pain may occur when:
- Sitting down
- Changing position from sitting to standing
- Having a bowel movement
- Having sex
Coccydynia may cause:
- Tenderness directly over tailbone
- All-over backache
- Pain or spasm of pelvic or rectal muscles
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. This will include an evaluation of the tailbone to see if the area is swollen, red, or warm.
Imaging tests to look for fractures, dislocation, or other damage in the tailbone may include:
In most cases, coccydynia will resolve on its own with conservative treatment. This includes using a special seating cushion to relieve pressure on the tailbone.
If the coccyx is misaligned, it may be manually manipulated into place. Other treatments include:
Inflammation and/or pain may be relieved by:
- Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
- Steroid injections
- Nerve blocks
- Antidepressants
Stool softeners can help reduce strain during bowel movements.
Physical Therapy
Physical therapy may include:
- Exercises to strengthen muscles and supporting structures (like ligaments)
- Relief and stimulation with heat therapy and ultrasound therapy
Other Treatments
Some people find relief with:
- Massage
- Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS)
Your doctor may also refer you to counseling.
Coccygectomy is the surgical removal of the tailbone. This surgery is not generally recommended and may be considered if all other treatments methods fail.

Energy and Global Climate Change in New England
Energy & Climate Basic Info
Beginning late in the 18th Century, human activities associated with the Industrial Revolution changed the chemical composition of the atmosphere and began influencing the Earth's climate: the burning of fossil fuels, such as coal and oil, along with deforestation, has caused concentrations of heat-trapping "greenhouse gases" to increase significantly in our atmosphere. These gases act to prevent heat from escaping into space, like the glass panels of a greenhouse.
Federal, state, and local organizations, as well as individual citizens, are taking action to reduce their carbon footprints and to promote alternative ways to produce energy. This website describes the ways U.S. EPA, both nationally and here in New England, is working on climate change. It also describes the work being done by states, communities and other private and public organizations to combat climate change. The site is divided into two major sections: the first covers federal, state and local efforts to mitigate or reduce the amount of greenhouse gases that we collectively emit into air; the second section discusses what these same organizations are doing to adapt to the impacts of our changing climate. Finally, it offers citizens examples of how their own daily choices can make a difference.
For information on climate change at the national and international level visit EPA's National Climate Change site which has a wealth of information ranging from the basic science of climate change, to descriptions our collective efforts to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions and our efforts to adapt to climate change.
A number of organizations have produced reports that provide specific information on the science and impacts of climate change in New England:
2013 Climate Leaders Summit - A key outgrowth of this summit was the formation of a Climate Leaders Steering Committee and six Action Plan Teams to help New England achieve its climate change goals.
National Water Program Climate Change Strategy - EPA has released the draft "National Water Program 2012 Strategy: Response to Climate Change," which describes how EPA's water-related programs plan to address the impacts of climate change and provides long-term visions, goals and strategic actions for the management of sustainable water resources for future generations. The 2012 strategy, which builds upon EPA's first climate change and water strategy released in 2008, focuses on five key areas: infrastructure, watersheds and wetlands, coastal and ocean waters, water quality, and working with Tribes. It also describes geographically-based strategic issues and actions. EPA will accept public comments on the draft strategy until May 17, 2012.
2006 New England Regional Assessment (NERA) - This report on the potential climate change impacts on the New England region, and upstate New York, provides a local perspective on a global issue in a format accessible to the public. Funded by the National Science Foundation and completed at the University of New Hampshire, the assessment was one of 16 prepared nationally for the U.S. Global Change Research Program.
Confronting Climate Change in the U.S. Northeast: Science, Impacts, and Solutions (PDF) (160 pp, 7.2 MB, about PDF) - The Northeast Climate Impacts Assessment (NECIA) is a collaborative effort between the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) and a team of independent experts to develop and communicate a new assessment of climate change and associate impacts on key climate-sensitive sectors in the northeastern United States. The goal of the assessment is to combine state-of-the-art analyses with effective outreach to provide opinion leaders, policy makers and the public with the best available science upon which to base informed choices about climate change mitigation and adaptation.
Indicators of Climate Change in the Northeast 2005 (PDF) (40 pp, 1.8 MB, about PDF) - This study was prepared by the Climate Change Research Center at the University of New Hampshire and the non governmental organization, Clean Air-Cool Planet. The report documents climate impacts on indicators such as increased temperature trends, precipitation changes, extreme precipitation events, ozone exceedence days, snowfall, and sea level rise.

SabrinaAwesome.Bought one in August 08... most definately holds true to their promises!posted Feb 20, 2009Link to this post
ClarissaAmazing*this is the most amazing straightner in the whole entire world, and it isnt even just a straightner! it also adds volume, flips, curls, and waves! my hair could never hold a curl, ever, or wave, and with this product it does, all day! buy this, it may be expensive at first, but its a true investmesnt; honestly. my hair stays straight all day, and that is roughly 14 - 16 hours, buy it! same for all of the other hair styles. buy it.posted Feb 15, 2009Link to this post
AnonymousGreat!This flat iron is amazing.It works really well.I would recomend this too everyone.posted Feb 14, 2009Link to this post
DeniseAlabamaGreat ProductI have had an Amika flat iron product for over a year and I love it. I am African American and it gets my hair straight. I try not to perm often, but with the Amika flat irons, you cant tell if I have a fresh perm or not. Great product!posted Feb 9, 2009Link to this post
AlyssaAwesome Product!I loved this straightener! I have the zebra one and it works great. I have naturally straight hair but it isnt that straight its kind of wavy. It made it really silky and soft. It only takes me about one or two passes through my hair to get it really nice and neat. So overall it was a really good product!!posted Jan 30, 2009Link to this post
NormaJacksonville, FloridaThe Best On The MarketI have purchased the Amika Flat-Iron and it is the best on the market. I have also used the Sedu, however the Amika is the best hands-down. The difference is, that the Amika is solid cermanic, whereas the others are ceramic coated. When the plated are solid ceramic your hair does not burn because there is no metal penetrating your hair folices. Also, Folicia has the best price in the world. I have the Sedu, but the Amika far exceeds the Sedu. I do enjoy using the Amika more than any that I have in the past.

by Dominic Devito The JL Audio Stealthbox® custom-fit subwoofer delivers incredible bass in a package that takes up minimal space and blends in with your vehicle's interior. JL Audio designs Stealthboxes to fit in specific vehicles, then loads them with appropriate subwoofers for optimal performance. Pair the system with an appropriate amp and wiring for stellar concealed bass. Perfect sound to go with the perfect fit JL Audio puts months of research and design into each Stealthbox® custom-fit subwoofer to ensure not only that it fits, but that it sounds better than any other custom enclosed system. First, JL Audio determines the ideal shape and mounting location for each enclosure, so that it looks like an original part of the vehicle it's designed for. Next, they mount each high-performance subwoofer so it delivers amazing firepower from within its unique enclosure, without sacrificing clarity or musical depth. The fiberglass enclosure offers superior rigidity while allowing more interior volume, so the sub can turn out louder, deeper bass. JL Audio craftsmen then laminate, grind, join, and finish each Stealthbox® by hand. The end result: full-bodied, distortion-free bass from an impressively stealthy enclosure. Enjoy enhanced, custom-fit sound This Stealthbox® enclosure fits 2002-up Ford Explorer SUVs with 4 doors. It installs in the driver side rear cargo area. This Stealthbox® includes one 10" 2-ohm W3v3 subwoofer from JL Audio. Please check with us before purchasing by using the vehicle selector on our site, or calling an Advisor at 1-888-955-6000 to verify fit information. JL Audio has rated the difficulty of this Stealthbox® installation as moderate or high. Crutchfield recommends using a car audio professional to install this enclosure, unless you have extensive experience installing car audio gear.

Say what? Instead of the usual sub in a box, the manufacturer creates a molded enclosure that fits perfectly into a convenient spot in your specific vehicle, housing a high-quality sub. Some enclosures even include a built-in amp, for the ultimate in stealth bass. The advantages? You don't lose much space (if any), your sub is perfectly matched to its enclosure, and your enclosure has a factory look that won't tell potential thieves you have an awesome sound system. Doesn't get better than that.
phenomenalPiece Written By Taylor, Orlando, Fl on Thursday, April 07, 2011 After getting my JL 13.5" W6 stolen out of my car, I wanted to downsize but not lose quality. After much research I went with the JL Audio Stealth box for my 2002 Ford Explorer coupled with a PDX-M6. My result, ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. The sound quality and power coming from this far surpasses my expectations. Set with the right amp and acoustics you will not be let down. Now it does not pound like my previous sub woofer, but it sure does not let me down. Install was easy, did it by myself with a few handy tools. For the amount of, or lack of space it takes up couples with the sound of it, this was well worth the price. Would get one for every car If I needed to! Without a doubt, would by again.
JL Audio Stealthbox® Written By Adam, Buffalo, NY on Thursday, May 28, 2009 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) If you're concerned about saving up the cash for this system work some overtime because IT'S WORTH IT. This box couple with a properly selected amp to put out the power it will handle at 4ohms produces spectacular sound! It hits just as hard and provides even better sound quality that my previous 2-12" subs in a bandpass box with a bigger amp. I haven't been able to get the grin off my face every time I get in my truck. I would absolutely recoment this to anyone interested. The only snag I hit was that the "U" mounting bracket was not shippped with the box, which Crutchfield did their best to remedy by sending me another one free of charge. Luckily I had a few friends who were able to fabricate one seeing that we had already taken out the back seat and torn the paneling off to do the install when we noticed it was missing. Installation was difficult and time consuming but WELL worth it in the end.
Stealth Box + 2002-2005 For Explorer Written By DJ, Eugene OREGON on Monday, June 09, 2008 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I work as a DJ and I like to preview new music in my car. I was looking for a nice sub that would provide great thump without taking up any extra space in my vehicle. After searching around and talking to some installers in the know, everything kept leading me back to this sub. The stealthbox for the 2002-2005 Explorer is a great sub/enclosure combo. The sub IS PORTED which helps it pack a bigger punch and fools you into thinking you are listening to a much bigger cabinet. (The port faces forward and isn't shown in the photos provided by Crutchfield.) I hooked it up to an Alpine mono block amp (500 watts at 4ohms). The sub handles the low frequencies effortlessly and combined with the 500 watt amp has plenty of headroom. (The rest of my speakers are powered by a 5x50 watts at 4 ohm alpine theater amp.) I Have "15 steps" of volume control on my alpine deck to adjust the sub volume to match the level of rest of the speakers and it sounds perfect (not overpowering or weak) when i set it right around +7 on a scale of 0 to +15. It matches the fit and finish of my vehicle perfectly and leaves my bed clear of clunky equipment. Simply put this sub rocks and is of the highest quality construction. I couldn't be happier with the sub. Oh by the way, if you are an Explorer owner and looking for a good place to install a 1-DIN center channel speaker just remove the vents below the stereo. My only concern is I think I may be going deaf.

You fuck a female up the ass with a giant dildo. The ass is spread so as to create a crater like formation. This allows for the male to squirt his stuff, thus creating a pool of semen in the female's anus. The surrounding fecal matter of the asshole breaks off into the ejaculate goo, thus creating poop floaties.

Hello, I've heard a good bit of concerning talk about LiteSpeed's support (or lack of support) for mod_security. For example, the gotroot people say that LS does not fully support mod_security, and therefore many of the rules and protections are ineffective. I've seen similar claims, and various partial answers here and there, but nothing definitive. With security growing even more important every day, I am wondering if LiteSpeed staff can address this issue definitively and let me know how secure LS is, especially in regard to mod_security. If you can outline how to best set up LS with effective mod_security on a cPanel server, that would be appreciated. That was asked in a post several months ago that was never responded to. Thanks, Mark
To clarify, here is what gotroot says about LiteSpeed and mod_security: Is this true? If so, this is very concerning because LiteSpeed is advertised as a completely Apache-compatible, drop-in replacement. However, if the comments above are true, LiteSpeed ignores an important, major part of Apache functionality. An omission such as this should be disclosed, IMHO. Or am I missing something? I look forward to a definitive answer about LiteSpeed and mod_security (and security in general). Thanks.
mod_security makes big changes from release 1.9 to 2.x, our implementation is based on 1.9, so not all features in 2.x are support. We will add more 2.x features in the future. those features are probably only used in 5% of rules. But if you require 100% compatibility with mod_security, you may have to stay with Apache.
Of course, it is concerning that these differences were not spelled out prominently. LiteSpeed is advertised as "APACHE INTERCHANGEABLE". That implies that it is functionally equivalent, however this is not the case in terms of mod_security. And, of course, security is critical in today's climate. The biggest question is how secure LiteSpeed is (in terms of mod_security) compared to Apache. Please feel free to explain further, so we can decide whether LiteSpeed is safe to use.
I'm the lead developer of one of the two modsecurity projects out there and maybe I can help explain. All the current rulesets out there (Gotroot, OWASP, etc.) require support for the 2.5.x rule language. Those rules have a different syntax from the older 1.9.x rules, and also use lots of features that the older implementation (1.9.x) does not have - which means 2.5.x rules are WAY WAY more robust but also, incompatible with 1.9.x implementations. This is all good stuff. There are things we can do in 2.5.x that are simply not possible in 1.9.x (the features don't exist, like lua scripts, branching logic, DOS protections, anti-obfuscation countermeasures, transforms, etc.). There are things we can do in 2.5.x that are really fast, which in 1.9.x were painfully impossibly slow, such as the ability to do Aho-Corasick matching - which made it possible to do matches against large lists super fast (think big blacklists of malicious domains, IPs, etc.). We can also do branching logic in 2.5.x, which we can't do 1.9.x - think of if then else statements, which are used by both the OWASP and GotRoot rules for huge performance gains (if I dont see X in this payload, skip all these rules). In fact, both rule sets won't even work correctly with a 1.9.x implementation because of the lack of branching logic, which is a real biggie. Probably 100% of the rules won't work right without that logic alone. We can also do anomaly detection in 2.5.x, again, this doesnt exist in 1.9.x, so if you use either ruleset in anomaly detection mode 100% of the rules don't work in 1.9.x implemenations. So its really a square peg in a round hole trying to get 2.5.x rules to work in the less capable 1.9.x implementation. It just won't work. And finally, the new rule language lets us do things that massively reduces false positives. Its like night and day from a reliability point of view. The improvements in this area were so great that 1.9.x was dropped by rule authors for probably that reason alone! So, the advantages of the 2.5.x implementation are just worth so much its not worth maintaining rulesets for 1.9.x. We retired our 1.9.x rules many years ago for just those reasons. So, the 2.5.x change was a big positive change well worth the adoption. Unfortunately, thats means 1.9.x implementations such as LiteSpeeds are left in the cold because the big rule projects moved onto 2.5.x years ago. Its like being forced to support something you know is just out of date, inefficient and not powerful enough to solve the problems you know you need to solve to protect your users. No security guy wants that. So, I hope that Litespeed can support 2.5.x soon, we'd love to be able to help out LiteSpeed users with our rules. If you must use 1.9.x rules, we do still publish 1.9.x rules at www.gotroot.com, but they are totally EOL and I wouldn't rely on any 1.9.x rules to protect you from modern attacks and expect FPs too, we just cant do all the things we've been doing for years with the 2.5.x rules in 1.9.x. Too many things can get past an older implementation, but something is probably better than nothing. I hope this information helps everyone to understand where things are, and I wish LiteSpeed all the success in the world getting a 2.5.x implementation in place!
We have been adding 2.5 features into our modsec engine, @pm, @pmFromFile are supported in our 4.1RC4 release already. We will continue adding more features based on popularity and importance.
Thats a good start. I look forward to when your implementation is feature complete. If you want a suggestion for your next feature to add, as both the OWASP and Gotroot/Atomicorp rule require the new branching logic directives to work I recommend you add in those in next. Neither ruleset is going to work properly without that. If you could also document what you do and do not support in your implementation that would certainly be helpful not just to your users, but to those of us that write WAF rules. It would help us to create a reduced set of rules for your implementation while you are still working towards full support for the rule language.
Thanks for the info. I'd like to ask both of you... If I'm setting up a new server with LiteSpeed right now (under cPanel/WHM), what do I need to do in order to get the best mod_security protection? Given that not all the 2.x rules are compatible, will the gotroot set break LiteSpeed? Or, is LiteSpeed not yet secure enough (until it fully supports 2.x)? Also, will ASL Lite work in a cPanel situation with LiteSpeed installed? (I mean, assuming that the rules will work, will the ASL Lite autoupdater also work...or does it not coexist with LiteSpeed? I love LiteSpeed but I also need security. So any advice will be appreciated. Thanks, Mark
Are you talking about "chain" and "skip" actions? those actions are supported currently. There are litespeed users loading getroot or some other modsec rule sets. rules using regular express matching do work. It does not break LiteSpeed.
I just mean that we need the most comprehensive protection available. I don't know all the terminology...can you tell me right now if LiteSpeed offers the same mod_security protection as Apache? If not, what features are missing? I am not trying to be a pest...this is a very important issue, and it is important to know which protections you are providing, and which ones you aren't. Does anyone know if there are any modifications necessary to make the gotroot rules work with LSWS? I've heard various results. Thanks, Mark
Thank you for the reply. No, I'm talking about the ability to actually creating branching logic using SecAction, Secskip, SecMarker and other methods. Example: SecRule REQUEST_METHOD "@pm trace track connect post" \ "phase:1,t:none,t:lowercase,pass,nolog,skip:1" SecAction phase:1,t:none,pass,nolog,skipAfter:END_FOO SecRule REQUEST_METHOD "trac(?:e|k)" \ "phase:1,t:none,t:lowercase,id:340002,rev:2,severity:2,msg:'Atomicorp.com WAF Rules: TRACE/TRACK method denied'" # Rule 340361: deny CONNECT method SecRule REQUEST_METHOD "connect" \ "t:none,t:lowercase,capture,phase:1,t:lowercase,id:340361,rev:2,severity:2,msg:'Atomicorp.com WAF Rules: CONNECT method denied',logdata:'%{TX.0}'" SecMarker END_FOO Do you support that? And what about the transforms in 2.5.13, like escapeSeqDecode, removecomments, and others. I could go on, but you get the point. I couldnt find any documentation on your WAF module, if you could point me to it then I would know what you do support, and what 2.5.x logic won't work with your WAF module. As it stands right now, I get several reports a week that the current gotroot and OWASP rules don't work with your implementation. If you dont support all the features in 2.5.13, then that makes sense. Could you please tell me what features you do support? I'm a bit puzzled by this response. Do you support the whole rule language or not? It not, then rules won't work correctly (Modsecurity rules require a lot more than just regular expression matching). If your implementation is supposed to be a drop in replacement I'm glad to hear that, so can you confirm that you support the whole 2.5.13+ rule language? And if not, what do you support?
My two cents, I dont know if it will "break" LiteSpeed (I doubt it), but if LiteSpeed doesnt support the full rule language you will not be as secure against web attacks and many of the rules written for modsecurity may not even work correctly. You really need the full feature set in modsecurity 2.5.13 to use either the gotroot or OWASP rules which are written for modsecurity. Those rules might "load" but without all the features they won't work correctly, they probably won't even detect attacks properly. 2.5.x rules are very different from the simplistic 1.9.x "look for this regexp" rules, its like night and day. So even though 1.9.x rules worked in the past does not mean modern 2.5.x rules will, the whole syntax of the language changed between 1.9.x and 2.0, and 2.5.x has added tons of new things. ASL Lite works great with cpanel, and the autoupdater will work just fine with cpanel and litespeed. The issue is does LiteSpeed understand the rules, and your guess is as good as mine. As I understand it, I thought LiteSpeed was a drop in replacement for Apache, and if it is then the answer should be yes. However, we don't know what LiteSpeed supports in its modsecurity like implemenation (I cant find any documentation, if someone could point me to it that would be awesome!) and we have had lots of reports that the 2.x rulesets don't work right, ours, OWASPs or anyone elses. So the LiteSpeed implementation appears to not be feature complete, and I'd like nothing more than to be wrong about that and to say yes it will work. So if someone from LiteSpeed could explain what they do support, we'd all apreciate that. Without knowing what it does support its very difficult to even begin to write rules for it, and with reports that things don't work right, all I can say is no the gotroot and OWASP rules will not work right (may not even load correctly) with LiteSpeeds WAF. With that said, I hope LiteSpeed is close to full 2.5.13 compability, because if all it had is 1.9.x compatibility then no it won't be as secure as Apache. :-( Me too!
Of course Mike's answer is way over my head. However, in laymen's terms, I'd like a similar answer: Exactly what mod_security protection does LiteSpeed provide? Is it full support for all rules? Or is it limited...and, if so, HOW limited? In today's security climate, vague answers simply aren't good enough. If we're putting our servers in the hands of your software...and paying a pretty penny for your software when other software is available free...we need definitive answers on what protection your software is giving us (or not). Also, I'm confused about the answer on whether the gotroot rules will work with LiteSpeed. I've seen multiple reports that the rules don't work well with LiteSpeed (not a gotroot issue, but apparently an issue with LiteSpeed's mod_security implementation). Of course, mod_security rules are only effective if they protect but don't interfere with normal operations. So I'd really appreciate some frank, detailed answers from LiteSpeed on this issue. We are deploying a new server this week, and we can't justify using LiteSpeed on it (or continuing to use LiteSpeed elsewhere) without knowing these answers. Thanks, Mark
got it. support for SecMarker and skipAfter action is required, should be easy to implement. We do assume rule ID is numeric though, all examples given in modsec document are integers. We are adding more features for our 4.1 release to improve the compatibility with modsec 2.5, however, there is some feature we wont consider to support right now: 1. xml related. 2. pdf related. 3. lua script (we are investigating, may add, but low priority) 4. geo lookup (duplicate with mod_geoip, can use env added by mod_geoip) 5. inspecting response body (still evaluating) 6. executing external script We do not plan to implement features mainly because, some features may rely on third party libraries, and the license of that library may not allow us to incorporate into our product; some features may severely slow down the non-blocking, single-thread process, especially, when large amount of data need to be processed, it is fatal. We have seen even PCRE hanging lshttpd process with 100% cpu. Hope it will make it a little bit clearer with our mod_sec support. BTW: we will publish a document regarding what feature is supported, what is not, after our 4.1 release settled.
Thanks for the reply. However it's highly technical...I'm wondering if you can explain in laymen's terms: How secure is LiteSpeed now? (In other words, how much of the mod_security functionality is missing?) When will additional security be added? When will LiteSpeed offer the full protection currently offered by Apache + mod_security? I was actually surprised to find that much of this functionality is missing, since LiteSpeed is marketed as a complete equivalent replacement for Apache. It should definitely have been disclosed that important security features are not implemented, IMHO. Thanks, Mark
Thank you for the reply. Based on the modsecurity documentation here: http://www.modsecurity.org/document....12/modsecurity2-apache-reference.html#N11514 Which of its features are supported in Litespeed today, and what is planned in your next release?
Hi Again, We are deploying a new server over the weekend, and we have decided that we will not even consider using LiteSpeed on it until we receive answers for the questions asked previously: How secure is LiteSpeed now? (In other words, how much of the mod_security functionality is missing?) When will additional security be added? When will LiteSpeed offer the full protection currently offered by Apache + mod_security? In addition, we will probably discontinue our existing use of LiteSpeed until we get these answers. And we may still stay away from LiteSpeed if the answers are not favorable. For example, if it will still be a long time before LiteSpeed offers the same security as Apache, we'll have to take that into consideration. We are a bit upset that we've been using LiteSpeed for some time now, thinking that it offered the full functionality of Apache in terms of security...only to find out that it does not. And we aren't even sure how much of that security it does offer, because those answers are not being provided. We feel that a major shortcoming like this should have been disclosed publicly, instead of LiteSpeed simply being advertised as a drop-in replacement for Apache, with no mention of gaping security holes and lack of full support for mod_security. Mark
LiteSpeed, can you please answer the questions I've asked: How secure is LiteSpeed now? (In other words, how much of the mod_security functionality is missing?) When will additional security be added? When will LiteSpeed offer the full protection currently offered by Apache + mod_security? These are fair questions, as you are advertising a functional replacement for Apache. So, as hosts, we need to know what security functionality is missing from your product. Can you also clarify your request filtering functions? Do they replace some of the missing mod_security functionality? Do they require their own rules? Are the rules included in the LiteSpeed installation? Are the rules updated automatically? The security-related functions (e.g., mod_security, etc.) are not very-well explained. Please provide answers so we can decide whether to use your product moving forward. Thanks, Mark EDIT: I'm not trying to be negative or hostile, in fact I hope the answers are not bad...I hope that LiteSpeed is very secure in terms of mod_security. But without the answers I don't know what the situation is. Thanks.
Hi Mark, gotroot guy and LiteSpeed staff. This thread is typical of LiteSpeed forum. Staff eventually not replying and not finding a sufficient resolution. Now I am aware you have added modsec 2.5 support to your latest release however it really isn't sufficient. Your changelog displays this but by that you could mean, we have added 1 feature of 2.5 or the entire functionality. However, from using 4.1 I have found that you really haven't added much of the functionality some people would require. I have found LocationMatch rules for example, not to work. Even simple SecRule from testing have failed to work?! Now I have paid for this service fair and square however the results I am getting are not sufficient. I have purchased an owned license with yourselves and that is more than enough to fund development. I have tried contacting your support directly and you tell me to use the forum, all in vein when you don't even help! Your support is shabby and your pricing somewhat outrageous. Now while I agree with everyone that LiteSpeed is a great piece of kit when it comes to security it has so much further to go. Why don't you drop the support for your own Modsec alternative and let us use Mod_Security? Wouldn't that just make life a little easier for you? Your product has some rough edges and this is certainly one of them. Functions that have worked in previous versions I find no longer work (See my previous threads) and please take a look at the latest addition to my threads. Regards, Chris.
Those rules should work fine with 4.1 release. We need to either check it on your server, or copy your configuration to our lab environment to reproduce it.

Dodger Stadium, a Southern California institution since 1962.
We've been talking all week about the changes that are about to come to the Nationals' starting rotation and about the difficult decisions Mike Rizzo, Jim Riggleman and Steve McCatty are going to have to make in the next few days with Jason Marquis and then Stephen Strasburg returning from the DL.
That leaves a bunch of other guys trying to prove they deserve to maintain their current rotation spot. Scott Olsen, Craig Stammen and Ross Detwiler each got their shots in Arizona this week. Now it's John Lannan's turn.
The lefty enjoyed a fairly effective start Sunday against the Phillies in his return from Class AA Harrisburg. Tonight, he faces another tough challenge in the Dodgers, who were quite active at the trade deadline in acquiring Scott Podsednik, Ryan Theriot, Ted Lilly and Octavio Dotel. Los Angeles manager Joe Torre sends one of his best to the mound tonight in Clayton Kershaw, the young left-hander who over his last 16 starts is 9-4 with a 2.36 ERA and 108 strikeouts in 107 innings.
I'm not going to be in Los Angeles for this series; I'm sticking around Phoenix for a couple of days to spend time with family. Will head back to Washington on Sunday and be back at Nationals Park Tuesday for Strasburg's anticipated return. I'll post the lineups once they're announced later this afternoon…

Enjoy the family visit in Arizona, and travel safely back, Mark. Terrific work this week on all fronts, including the Dunn/Morgan/Jesus sim game/pitching musical chairs. You've been on top of it all, plus a pleasure to read your dream writing. You're the best.

Jamey Carroll, ss for La – origional Nat, great guy.

Lannan and Maxwell … not the best combination to have in your lineup if you are trying to give your team a chance to win.
- Anonymous8 - Aug 7, 2010 at 12:41 AM
Maxwell, smart. Rizzo, not smart. OK, lets try this again!
- JaneB - Aug 7, 2010 at 12:48 AM
Carroll is one of the ex-Nats I root for even when their new team plays us. Perverse I know. What a great guy he is. I so want Maxwell to figure it out — he seems like a great guy. And finally . thanks for these great, smart and well-written posts, Mark. I'm grateful for them, and for the chance to hear the funny and insightful comments of people like SunshineBobbyC and natsfan1a and so many others. Makes my day.
- Sunshine_Bobby_Carpenter_Is_Too_Pessimistic_for_Me - Aug 7, 2010 at 1:05 AM
Thanks, JaneB, for the kind words. We're all glad you're here too. Enjoy the ballgame, and you're so right about Jamey Carroll. Pure class guy, and I root for him too. One of Frank Robinson's favorite players, too.
- Drew8 - Aug 7, 2010 at 1:16 AM
Hey Mark: Now that Danny Espinosa has been promoted to Syracuse, will he move to second base?2b or not 2b, that is the question….
- Sunshine_Bobby_Carpenter_Is_Too_Pessimistic_for_Me - Aug 7, 2010 at 1:58 AM
Post of the day goes to Drew8 for posing that age-old query of "2b or not 2B, that is the question" on Espinosa.We might have to call in that old third base coach Willie Shakespeare to answer that…
- Section 222 - Aug 7, 2010 at 2:48 AM
If anyone is still up and has Gameday Audio, listening to Vin Scully call this game is pure gold. Learning stuff about the Nats that I never knew, and I listen to/watch alot of games and read way too many blogs
- Ernie - Aug 7, 2010 at 2:49 AM
J-Max with 2 strikeouts in the first two innings already. Glad we're giving this guy a shot to prove he is still as terrible as he is every other time. Call him Mr. Consistency, I guess. He may "look good" or seem like a "good guy," but if that's all I wanted, I'd read about him in People magazine. What a waste.
- Mark - Aug 7, 2010 at 2:52 AM
I love the Maxwell Smart/Not Smart.He is swinging out of his shoes with his head off the ball. His swing is so long.Yep, it is tough to watch. 2 K's already. Rizzo, please put him out of our misery and bring up Lambin or Whiting.
- Slidell - Aug 7, 2010 at 2:58 AM
Dunn 6 Dodgers 0
- Ernie - Aug 7, 2010 at 3:01 AM
I think with that second Dunn home run I'm going to go to bed and dream happy dreams. Don't wake me up if this all crumbles. It's nice to see a few grown-ups playing on the team still. Maybe I'll wake up tomorrow to learn that Rizzo signed him to an extension between innings…

scully might be the best thing about my MLB iphone app – one of the things i like to show off about it. i was a baby in brooklyn when he announced "the brooklyn dodgers are the world champions" or however he put it. i know it made my parents happy. i sometimes think they moved to NJ mainly because the dodgers left.
- Sunshine_Bobby_Carpenter_Is_Too_Pessimistic_for_Me - Aug 7, 2010 at 3:18 AM
Hat trick for J-Max.
- Doc - Aug 7, 2010 at 3:22 AM
It's too bad really for J-Max. I mean he deserves to be a better hitter than he is, but it'll probably never happen.He's so far below the Mendoza Line, that we'll have to establish the 'Sub-Mendoza Line' just in his honor.
- Brian - Aug 7, 2010 at 3:59 AM
How long until Morgan comes back? Like him or not, he is a true leadoff hitter. Look how often he distracts the opposing pitchers when he gets on base. Meanwhile, JMax will be going for the Golden Sombrero on his next at-bat. He'll be in the Mendoza sub-basement in no time. His defense is good, as evidenced by his diving catch tonight, but the offense just isn't there.
- Section 222 - Aug 7, 2010 at 4:12 AM
Pretty soon Maxie will be at 1/2 the Mendoza line. Very said to find out that Scully only does the first three innings on the radio. Over to Charlie and Dave now, not going to ruin the night by listenting to Dibble.
- OlneyNat - Aug 7, 2010 at 4:22 AM
Bunting twice up 6-3? Let them swing the bat. The first bunt gives us one chance with Gonzalez since the pitcher was following, the second took the bat out of Dunn's hands. Also, Clippard scares me.
- Anonymous - Aug 7, 2010 at 4:23 AM
I believe Scully comes back for a couple of innings at the end of the game.
- Sunshine_Bobby_Carpenter_Is_Too_Pessimistic_For_Me - Aug 7, 2010 at 4:51 AM
A four-pack for J-Max. Mr. Mendoza, rest easy whereever you are.
- Sunshgine_Bobby_Carpenter_Is_Too_Pessimistic_For_Me - Aug 7, 2010 at 5:19 AM
Lannan might make that September rotation call interesting, after all. nice win, thanks to the Big Dunn-key. Way to go, big guy.
- natsfan1a - Aug 7, 2010 at 11:17 AM
So, did he miss it by "that much"? :-)Didn't see the game, it being a late one, but it's always nice to wake up to a curly w in my in-box!Jamey Carroll is one of my faves, too, and I've followed his career since he left the Nats.(And back at you, JaneB. That's one of the good things about the Internet, that we can commune with like-minded fans, whether they're local or in far-flung locales.)—I love the Maxwell Smart/Not Smart.He is swinging out of his shoes with his head off the ball. His swing is so long.
- Richard - Aug 7, 2010 at 11:45 AM
A couple of weeks ago I was driving up the east coast to Boston late on a Friday night listening to west coast games on satellite radio to keep awake. I've got a Dodgers game on and am listening to Vince Scully. He's talking non stop, no breaks, without any help from a "color" guy, and everything he's saying is interesting! Inning after inning! He's unique.
- LoveDaNats - Aug 7, 2010 at 12:47 PM
Although it's great waking up to a Nats win (I'm waaaaay to old to watch till the end), I do miss Mark's analysis. I could always get a feel for what happened in a game I couldn't watch. But Mark deserves his days off as well so I guess it's "condensed game" on MLB at bat 2010. Come on, Nats, you're on a roll. See you at the park on Thursday.
- natsfan1a - Aug 7, 2010 at 12:55 PM
Yeah, I miss the analysis, too, LoveDaNats. Though, as you note, Mark has certainly earned his off days.
- JaneB - Aug 7, 2010 at 1:27 PM
Ok. I give. Nice guy, big heart or not — Maxwell is great in the outfield, and not good at bat. Though I still remember the dinger he hit at the last game last year. I can't trash him. But I see what's distressing about him, especially as a lead off guy. And glad to see Brian gives Nyjer his due as a good lead off man. Now I want to hear Vin Scully call our game. Will he tonight? Maybe I'll watch with the radio on.
- Sunshine_Bobby_Carpenter_Is_Too_Pessimistic_For_Me - Aug 7, 2010 at 1:52 PM
@JaneB: If it's a home game, Vin will be doing it on the radio. Enjoy. He's a living legend, and national treasure. The best, and has been for, oh, a half century or so. Goes all the way back to Brooklyn with this team. Class act all the way.
- Brian - Aug 7, 2010 at 3:32 PM
Scully is a legend – since I got home after the game started last night, and I can't pick up 1500AM on my car radio in western Fairfax County, I listened to Scully on XM. He does a TV/Radio simulcast for the first three innings, then goes to exclusively TV.
- natsfan1a - Aug 7, 2010 at 4:25 PM
Earlier this year I turned on MLB Network and they were showing the Dodger's first home game of the season. Scully had the call for the entire game.
- natsfan1a - Aug 7, 2010 at 4:27 PM
Eh, make that Dodgers'…
- Anonymous - Aug 7, 2010 at 4:32 PM
Maxwell now hitting .095.
- Doc - Aug 7, 2010 at 4:50 PM
Maxwell has a softball slow pitch swing. Strange that nobody has attempted to help him with it. Or, maybe they have, and he isn't able to adjust.
- BinM - Aug 7, 2010 at 5:53 PM
I'm with all you guys regarding Vin Scully – He's truly one of the great baseball voices of all time. I grew up listening to him call Dodger games (early 60's, listening to a radio in SLC when the signal got a good bounce); He's absolute magic behind the microphone. —————I know Riggleman loves his L-R matchups, but Maxwell just isn't a ML hitter; He's great on defense, but he's got too many holes in his swing to ever be more than a #5OF, imo.

Saunders faces high-powered former team in finale
Chen shoots for another quality start to quell Mariners in Baltimore
Mariners lefty Joe Saunders faces his former Orioles team for the second time this season when Seattle closes out the rubber match of a three-game series at Camden Yards on Sunday.
Saunders pitched nine games for Baltimore last year, including two playoff appearances, after being acquired form the Diamondbacks in an August trade. He's never lost to the Orioles, going 6-0 with a 4.22 ERA in eight starts. That includes a complete-game win for the Mariners on April 29.
But he's never faced an Orioles team quite like this one. The home team easily leads the Majors with 148 home runs on the season. Baltimore leads the American League with 19 games of three or more home runs, and the Birds are 50-35 when they hit a homer.
"It's part of our offense. But it's a part of every Major League team's offense for the most part," manager Buck Showalter said after the team's 11-8 victory over Seattle on Friday. "We just have some guys who are capable of doing that who are also good defenders. I think that's the difference. The days that doesn't happen, they can impact the game with their gloves."
Wei-Yin Chen starts for the homer-inclined ballclub, and he searches for his fifth consecutive quality outing. He hasn't recorded a loss in his last six starts, and the O's will rely on the lefty for a low-scoring game in a series that has been dominated by offense.
Saunders was 4-0 with a 1.73 ERA in his first four starts of July, but he struggled during his last two outings, with losses to the Indians and Red Sox while giving up 12 runs (10 earned) and 18 hits in 9 2/3 innings.
The 32-year-old allowed six runs (five earned) and nine hits in an 8-2 loss at Fenway Park to open the current road trip, but he felt he got squeezed by the home-plate umpire on a couple of critical offerings.
"I was throwing good pitches and didn't get much help," Saunders said. "It was a rough night."
Orioles: Chen wants to pitch deeper in games
Chen has pitched well since coming off the disabled list, recording a 2.57 ERA in four starts. Still, the lefty wants to do even more. After his last start, in which he threw career-high 119 pitches in 7 1/3 innings, Chen said that he'd like to pitch deeper into games to spare Baltimore's bullpen.
"To be honest with you, I'm a little tired right now," Chen said after the start. "This was the first time I threw that many [pitches] in the U.S., but I definitely felt really strong and really good.
"I really wanted to pitch the eighth inning, ninth inning. I really wanted to close the game today. But unfortunately, I had to give the ball to the bullpen guys."
Mariners: Thompson juggling a crowded outfield
The return of Michael Morse off the disabled list will limit Dustin Ackley's playing time as acting manager Robby Thompson attempts to juggle a crowded outfield situation.
With Morse playing right field and Raul Ibanez handling much of the left-field duties, Thompson prefers Michael Saunders in center defensively to help out those two corner outfielders.
"You throw your best center fielder out there to cover as much ground as possible," Thompson said. "Ack is in transition from infield to outfield. We want to get him some time in left field some, too. I talked to him yesterday and he understands. I just told him, 'Hey, you're not going to be forgotten, you're going to play. And he said, 'Hey, I get it.' We'll mix and match."
In two games against the Orioles, Morse has four hits, including two doubles and a home run.
Worth noting
• The O's have won 10 of their last 13 games against Seattle, and they are 19-10 against the AL West.
• Seattle's Kendrys Morales has hits in 10 of his last 13 plate appearances, having gone 4-for-4 in both Thursday and Friday's games.

Phoronix: AMD Southern Islands vs. NVIDIA Fermi/Kepler On Gallium3D
Yesterday I posted benchmarks of the AMD RadeonSI Gallium3D driver looking at the open-source driver performance for the Radeon HD 7000 series graphics cards. The performance is comparatively very poor right now compared to earlier generations of AMD Radeon hardware that is better supported. But how does the open-source performance compare between the AMD Radeon HD 7000 series and the NVIDIA GeForce 400/500/6000 "Fermi" and "Kepler" on Nouveau? Here's benchmarks...

Micheal, thanks for doing the benchmark--I remember the requests for this.
But, could someone run this benchmark with an HD5xxx/HD6xxx in a similar system (quad-core i7 4770k with HT @ 3.5 GHz/16 GB RAM, 1920x1080 display, SSD), or an intel gpu?
At least I think that's a quad-core with hyperthreading...Micheal, is that correct, or did you get an octocore?
Very roughly, it looks like the 7850 is competing with the GTX 550, and the the 7950 with the GTX 680.
Reaction Quake runs better on nouveau.
even when locked to their lowest speeds the top-end Nvidia cards still outperform the Radeons.
Although Im very curious whether Michael was using the auto-generated firmware created by the Nouveau driver or if he actually extracted the binary Nvidia driver firmware for use in the experiment.
Michael, can you please look into whether the HD 7000 series cards use the lowest power profile by default? If so, can you change the profile to high before doing the tests?
Michael didn't mention what power management option he was using either. I assume he was using the old style power management, but he didn't say if he forced the high GPU profile or not. He also didn't specify which shader compiler was used. I believe the LLVM compiler is the default now, but occassionally the old compiler is faster (both are slower than R600sb of course, although that is unsupported with SI)
I find it rather sad that you compare a newer Radeon driver, with an older Nouveau driver...
