College launches ambitious endowment campaign
Retired faculty counselor of over two decades George T. McNulty once again has shown his commitment to Feather River College and its students.
Last year Professor McNulty donated close to $7,000 to the Feather River College Foundation to establish the first named scholarship in the FRC Foundation's Osher Scholarship challenge. This year he has decided to partner with two other friends of the college, Kathy Peters and Pat Buckner, by donating an additional $1,000 to be split evenly among their two endowed named scholarships, the Pat Buckner Allied Health and Nursing Scholarship and the Bill Peters Legacy Scholarship.
McNulty's donations show his love of the college. To quote him: "Feather River College has given me and my family many blessings over the years. In fact, my whole family has graduated from Feather River College. I am happy to give something back."
Buckner, retired allied health and nursing faculty member at Feather River College, has also put in much effort to raise funds for future allied health and nursing students attending Feather River College's licensed vocational nursing program and other health-related fields. Professor Buckner is on track to reach her target amount of $6,700 by June 30, necessary for an endowed named scholarship. The $500 donation from her former colleague certainly helped.
Buckner noted that McNulty worked closely with her and her nursing students over the years: "George was instrumental in guiding students to find themselves and the programs that fit them. He helped me get great students in my nursing programs."
The Bill Peters Legacy Scholarship project is also proceeding well. Kathy Peters has been touched by the community's (local and out-of-state) generosity for the endowed scholarship set up to help students in her late husband's areas of teaching passion: wildlife, art and equine studies. Peters asked the Feather River College Foundation to give a signed Bill Peters print of a golden eagle (Feather River College's mascot) to people who donate $100 or more from here on out to help increase fundraising efforts for all named scholarships.
An FRC leader and colleague of Bill Peters for three decades at the college, Jodi Beynon, gave the following message regarding Peters and his scholarship: "Everyone loved Bill Peters. Many of his art students said that he always made them feel proud of each and every piece they did in his class. Students in his Animal Behavior class marveled at his passion for and knowledge of wildlife. Colleagues praised his sense of humor and breadth of expertise in his field. All of them found him a dedicated teacher and a wonderful role model. What an appropriate legacy this scholarship will be for students following in the wake of his knowledge."
The vice-president of the Feather River College Foundation and long-time FRC faculty member, Russell Reid, noted the following about the Bill Peters Legacy Scholarship: "It sure seems in life that when a good thing happens, it should happen all the time … but it doesn't. Bill Peters was a very good thing … an amazing teacher, a student mentor, a scholar and a friend. Bill truly will be missed; however, his memory will live on with FRC's Osher/Bill Peters Legacy Scholarship."
The Feather River College Foundation is currently working on seven named scholarship projects and hopes to add more prior to the June 30 deadline that has been set by the California Community College Foundation for 50 percent matching funds to be given from the Bernard Osher Foundation.
Dean of Instruction and Chairman of the Scholarship Committee for the Feather River College Foundation Dr. Michael Bagley said, "This is an incredible way to honor someone you love or to just invest in Plumas County, as for a mere $6,700 you can create a legacy gift of $500 per year, forever, for a Feather River College student."
The funds are generated on the guaranteed interest of 5 percent or more on the $10,000 principle created by the original contribution and the 50 percent Osher match.
For more information about investing in Plumas County's future by contributing to the endowed scholarship program, contact Bagley at his office of instruction phone number: 283-0202, ext. 242.
Contributions are still being sought in many of the named scholarships, including Pat Buckner, Bill Peters, Lawrence Gonsalves, Bob Schoensee and Max Benton, and a check made to the Feather River College Foundation can be mailed upon their behalf to the office of instruction at Feather River College.

Pirates look to gain in NL Central behind Morton
Pittsburgh is one game back of Cards; Ross starts for San Diego
The Pirates are playing for a division title and maybe even home-field advantage. The Padres are playing for pride and to take a good look at what they might have in store for 2014.
So when the two teams face off at PNC Park on Wednesday in a 7:05 p.m. ET game, Pittsburgh will be looking for an excellent effort from right-hander Charlie Morton. San Diego will be eyeing right-hander Tyson Ross to see if he's part of the plan in the rotation moving forward.
Pittsburgh trails the Cardinals by a game in the National League Central and leads the Reds by 1 1/2 games for the first NL Wild Card spot.
For Morton, who has largely been very effective for Pittsburgh and figures prominently in the club's postseason plans, there was nothing wrong with his last start. In fact, it showed toughness that should play well on the October stage.
Morton wasn't a sure thing to pitch in his last outing against the Cubs, because in the start prior to that, he left in the second inning against St. Louis because of pain from plantar fasciitis in his left heel. But he took the ball and did his job, logging five innings of three-run ball in a no-decision and impressing his skipper in the process.
"Morton had to grind one out tonight," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. "I think he went out there with intent and purpose; the sinker didn't play consistently. The one inning he left three balls up and left-handers squared them up. But he battled."
The Pirates will take that every time in the playoffs.
And the Padres would like to see that from Ross, who's young, has a live arm and is in an organization looking for starting pitchers to step up and impact the rotation moving forward.
To do that, he'll have to pitch better than his last start, when he didn't make it out of the first inning, and more like the outing before that, when he tossed seven shutout frames.
So what happened last time, against the Phillies on Thursday, when he gave up six runs on five hits in two-thirds of an inning?
"It wasn't his night at all," Padres manager Bud Black said. "It started with a checked-swing, infield chopper. The next three hitters, he fell behind and threw some fastballs to the middle part of the plate. He couldn't make that one pitch to limit the damage."
Ross will get another shot, and he knows what he has to do.
"I'm looking forward to getting past this," he said.
Padres: Venable's season enviable
Outfielder Will Venable, with 22 home runs and 20 steals, has recorded the 10th 20/20 season in club history. He is the first Padres player to accomplish the feat since Mike Cameron had 22 home runs and 25 stolen bases in 2006.
• San Diego has made itself at home since PNC Park opened in 2001, winning 30 of the 40 games and outscoring the home club, 249-156. The record includes an 11-game winning streak that was snapped on Aug. 12 of last year.
• Reliever Luke Gregerson pitched a scoreless ninth inning on Tuesday night and has not allowed an earned run over his last 10 outings (10 innings, six hits, two walks, 10 strikeouts).
Pirates: Getting it done in the Cutch
Outfielder and NL MVP Award candidate Andrew McCutchen is hitting .412 (21-for-51) in his first 15 games this month and is leading all NL batters with a .348 (159-for-457) average since April 30.
• The Pirates have won 24 games this season while scoring fewer than four runs. Among all Major League teams, only the Dodgers (26) have won more games when scoring three or fewer runs.
• In the last nine games, Pittsburgh starting pitchers have gone 5-2 with a 3.05 ERA (56 innings, 19 earned runs).
Worth noting
• Padres second baseman Jedd Gyorko's 19 homers this year are the most in franchise history by a rookie second baseman and are the second-most all-time by a Padres rookie behind Nate Colbert (24 in 1969).
• Marlon Byrd is hitting .315 (23-for-73) with seven doubles, two homers and 12 RBIs in 20 games with the Pirates since being acquired from the Mets on Aug. 27.

Top notch
The burnys are sick sunglasses, but the SR-91 lenses are in a league of their own. Never leave home without them!
Steezy and functional
Thought the frame was too big at first, then realized that i actually preferred it like that. Solid lenses that don't get smudged even if you're rubbing your greasy fingers all over them. Not to mention that they are pretty fashionable glasses. Wear em skiing then to the bar, lenses so clear you can wear them inside and look really cool

rock em like they are hot
These are the most comfortable shades I've ever worn. Expensive, yes. Worth it, yes. Would I do it again, yes. I have also dropped the glasses numerous times without a single scratch on the lens. picture perfect viewing out of these specs, I absolutely love them. * I have to add this...climbing last week I took these shades off, put them on my sling, and dropped them 150 feet...when I lowered off the route I could not believe my eyes. They were in perfect shape, not a scratch on either glass lens. Priceless.

He will share photos, stories, and unique insights about the issues of climate change facing the region during the Vail Symposium program, which will take place at Donovan Pavilion in Vail. In 2007, Thoreson and the crew of s/v Cloud Nine became the first American sailors in history to sail the Northwest Passage from the east to the west. In 2009, sailing aboard the scientifically-equipped s/v Ocean Watch, Thoreson became the only American sailor to have ever sailed the Northwest Passage in both directions. In June of 2010, he completed a 28,000 mile circumnavigation of the North and South American continents on the 64-foot sailing vessel.Thoreson's photography has appeared across a broad spectrum of media from the National Park Service and the Smithsonian to the Wall Street Journal and PBS. He serves as the cameraman and official photographer aboard the Ocean Watch; his photo book about the "Around the Americas expedition on the Ocean Watch" was published in November 2011. Thoreson's latest television documentary on the Around the Americas expedition was produced with KOMO (ABC) in Seattle and was nominated for an Emmy in the spring of 2011.

The goal of the proposed project is to determine the effectiveness of a brief motivational intervention among Emergency Department (ED) patients who use cocaine and/or heroin to prevent Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) by comparing cumulative incidence and frequency of safe sex behavior between intervention and standard voluntary counseling, testing and referral to substance abuse treatment (control) groups over a one year follow-up period.

Detailed Description:
Barriers to health care utilization limit drug users' interaction with the primary health care system, resulting in episodic health care received through Emergency Departments (ED) and Urgent Care Centers (UCC). Since 1994, the Boston Medical Center ED and UCC have provided substance abuse screening as standard of care. This program employs the Brief Negotiated Interview (BNI) to assess patient's reasons for drug use, readiness to change and offer intervention alternatives and referrals to substance treatment and other resources. Drug users' high rates of STIs, HIV, and Hepatitis C (HCV) and utilization of EDs and UCCs as usual sources of health care support the introduction of sexual behavior intervention in the ED and UCC setting. The proposed study will apply existing Brief Negotiation Interview (BNI) theory and research to a new behavioral context. The proposed project is a collaborative effort to adapt the BNI to encourage safe sex behaviors to prevent gonorrhea, chlamydia, and HIV among male and female ED and UCC patients age 18-54 years who use heroin and/or crack/cocaine and are not in treatment. We will enroll and 1:1 randomize 1,030 patients to intervention (safe sex BNI) or control (voluntary counseling and testing and referral to substance abuse treatment) over a 2.5-year period, with 6-month and 12-month follow-up. STIs and HIV will be diagnosed by specific laboratory assay at baseline, 6-month, and 12-month follow-up. Sexual and drug using behavior will be determined by participant self-report at baseline, 6-month, and 12-month follow-up on a 30 day time-line follow-up calender, with biochemical testing of hair samples for opiates and cocaine at enrollment and 12-month follow-up. Sexual behavior risk will be measured in terms of proportion of vaginal and anal sex acts protected by condom use and condom use at last sexual act, by sexual partner type. Differences in safe sex behavior between intervention and control groups will be evaluated using General Estimating Equation (GEE) modeling. After assessing intervention effect in the base model, we will assess intervention effect controlling for age, gender, race, injection use, HIV status and sexual and drug using behavior. An effective, brief intervention for safe sex behaviors to reduce STDs and HIV among drug users in ED and UCC settings may provide a sustainable intervention opportunity for drug users who are otherwise difficult to access.

The Nationals placed left-hander Tom Gorzelanny on the 15-day disabled list following tonight's win with inflammation in his throwing elbow, leaving the club searching for someone to start Sunday's series finale against the Padres.
The move is retroactive to Tuesday, the day after Gorzelanny allowed six runs in five innings against the Brewers. The 28-year-old hadn't previously revealed any arm issues, at least not publicly.
Gorzelanny, who is 2-4 with 4.25 ERA in nine starts, was scheduled to return to the mound Sunday afternoon. The Nationals will make a corresponding move before tomorrow's game, and they appear to have several options.
Either right-hander Yunesky Maya or left-hander Ross Detwiler could be promoted from Class AAA Syracuse and start Sunday on at least four days' rest. Maya has been the better of the two recently, though his 1-4 record and 3.79 ERA aren't sparkling. Detwiler, though, is 3-4Read more »

Mark, good thoughts on the various options.
- Todd Boss - May 28, 2011 at 3:19 AM
Actually, to add Meyers shouldn't require a move at all. When we returned Broderick to St. Louis that should have cleared the 40th spot from our 40-man roster right?

Yes, Gorzelanny has a history of arm troubles dating back to 2007 with Pittsburgh when he pitched over 200 innings and he had never even pitched 100 in a season before. After that season it took two full seasons for him to resemble the pitcher he was. Sure sounds like a TJ about to happen …
- Dave - May 28, 2011 at 3:37 AM
I missed it completely, but…What was the roster move that happened when Ankiel was reactivated? (I know, I'm several days late. Busy week at work.)Gorzelanny was pretty good until the last week and a half or so, so maybe it's not a Marquis-like case of concealed floating bodies this time.
- Anonymous - May 28, 2011 at 3:40 AM
I believe Bixler took Broderick's spot on the 40-man I believe. They could conceivably move LaRoche to the 60-day DL (You know YOU REALLY should Riggleman? What were you thinking trotting him out every day after ST? Really … you are supposed to be the sage, veteran know-it-all baseball man respected league wide and you couldn't see that truck coming from a mile away? Probably further exacerbated what was already a pretty serious looking problem! ) and then put Meyers on the 40-man. That would be the right move IMHO. Hopefully Stairs disappears into retirement perhaps long with Riggleman when Zimmerman returns …
- Anonymous - May 28, 2011 at 3:43 AM
@Dave, the move was to place LaRoche on the 15-day DL.
- Dave - May 28, 2011 at 3:46 AM
Aha. Of course, thanks.
- Doc - May 28, 2011 at 4:02 AM
Riggleman, not that he realizes it, but he cost the Nats a few games by not recognizing LaRoche's problems and getting Morse in there to replace him.If LaRoche hadn't spotted these things himself, Uncle Jimmy would still be trotting AD out to 1B!!Maybe that's what Werth was alluding to??Bradley Meyers time has come—bring him on!!!!!
- Anonymous - May 28, 2011 at 5:10 AM
Bixler was up before Broderick was DFA'd so we should have only 39 players on the 40 man roster. Kimball was already on and was called up to replace Broderick.I just did a quick count using the MLB roster and there are 39 so unless I miscounted, we have a spot open.
- Grandstander - May 28, 2011 at 5:32 AM
There are only 39 players on the 40-man. Maya is the only feasible candidate to be called up. If Meyers gets called up I'd be shocked. But that probably is the best move. Maya has sucked butt and since this season means nothing anyway, why not see what this prospect can do?
- Neal - May 28, 2011 at 6:13 AM
Isn't Chad Gaudin who is on the DL, also on the 40 man roster? If he was either moved to the 60 day DL or DFA'd, that should free up a 40 man roster spot, yes?
- Will - May 28, 2011 at 12:16 PM
Detwiler certainly doesn't deserve a call up. He's been hit hard (41 hits in his last 24 innings!), and showing control problems, striking out 13 and walking 11 in that same time. No way does he get a call-up.It's especially unlikely when you consider the other 4 SPs in Syracuse.Maya has been good. His 0.99 WHIP suggests he's been pitching a bit better than his 3.79 ERA suggests. He also has a solid 45:12 K:BB ratio. Given his age, he's the most likely to be promoted.Craig Stammen has been pretty good too- similar numbers to Maya. 40:9 K:BB, 3.62 ERA, are pretty decent numbers.Then we have the real prospects: Tom Milone and Brad Meyers. Both have arguably been better than Maya and Stammen. Meyers' success has been well noted here. That K:BB ratio is lunacy. But Milone's success has been largely overlooked. He currently sports a 50:4 ratio. That's 12.5 Ks for every BB. Pretty absurd. His WHIP is low too, meaning batters are finding it very easy to hit the ball hard (like they are with Detwiler).I'd prefer to see the prospects (Milone is 24, Meyers is 25) get a shot, rather than the older guys (Maya is 29, Stammen is 27), but it's nice to have several options.Also, hopefully this will open a spot for Brad Peacock to get promoted to Syracuse. Peacock is having his way with AA hitters. 75K in 55IP (4th most in all of the minors) and a 2.13 ERA, too boot.
- Will - May 28, 2011 at 12:18 PM
That should read, "meaning batters are not finding it very easy to hit the ball hard"
- Anonymous8 - May 28, 2011 at 1:31 PM
Just add Gorzelanny to the long list of pitchers who went to new teams in 2011 that are currently on the DL.While Maya's W/L isn't great, his WHIP has been good. Detwiler has been horrible in May and is not a MLB starter, Stammen could do it for a spot start but long-term is not a #5 starter as he is too inconsistent. In Spring Training it looked like the Nats would have good depth in AAA for starters and it no longer looks that way. JZim will hit his innings limit in August. Strasburg won't be available until September and chances are the Nats move 1 starter at the trade deadline.Let's hope Gorzelanny will be OK.
- fpcsteve - May 28, 2011 at 1:54 PM
We are perilously close to admitting Detwiler isn't a major league pitcher of any kind. He has gotten a ton of chances to prove himself and hasn't. How couold someone have his ability (in theory) and perform so badly?
- sm13 - May 28, 2011 at 2:10 PM
Craig Stammen has been consistent all year at Syracuse. Detweiller started hot and tailed off and Maya started cold and has been pitching better lately. Stammen is the sure thing of the bunch. He's done everything this team has asked of him this year and deserves another shot at the show.
- BinM - May 28, 2011 at 2:46 PM
Maya would line up for the start, as that's his slot in the Syracuse rotation. Option him up, let's see if he's really better than what we saw last year.
- Kevin Rusch, Section406 - May 28, 2011 at 2:46 PM
@fpcsteve — that's why they say "there ain't no such thing as a pitching prospect".
- bdrube - May 28, 2011 at 2:58 PM
Maya makes the most sense–they're paying him too much money for him to not get the call. His time is now to prove he can be a lower rotation innings eater. If Gorzo is out long term, then Meyers can get his shot when Marquis is traded.
- Anonymous - May 28, 2011 at 4:46 PM
Hoo Boy!! Another pitching Wus, another brittle, out of shape pitcher.What happened to the days of 300 innings — look at Livan before you jump on me for that statement. Pitchers are babied — from little league select right on up the ladder. Livan was never babied, he played and played and threw and threw and threw from birth to now — results? a strong arm, designed to go all day.I am so tired of wussy, spoiled pitchers who can barely last to the 6th inning, and if they do go a complete game (on a blue moon), they end up on the DL.Momma don't let your baby grow up to be a wussy, brittle, crystalline armed pitcher — let him throw all day — build that arm for when he grows up.

Fix It Right - Avoiding Substandard Repairs
Written by on February 1, 2013 The worst scenario for a team racing on a budget is to wreck a car and pay to have it repaired—only to discover that they paid good money for shoddy work. Here's what you need to know to avoid that.Your mother was right: Accidents happen.
That is a simple fact of life, and racing is no exception. We won't get into the blame game of who is at fault when sheetmetal and chassis get bent, we're more interested in getting your car fixed and back out on the track. Actually, the goal isn't simply to get back onto the track, but to get there with a car that is just as good, or better than it was before the big hit.
One of the big problems with repairing a car that's taken a big hit is that it somehow is just never the same as it was before. Many racing teams working on a limited budget (and let's face it, that's most of us) are forced to just live with it. A new chassis is out of the question and there's no guarantee that the person who did the repair work would get it right if you took it back to have the "repair" repaired. As a result they wind up having to change their setups as a crutch to mask the problems caused by a chassis whose geometry is off.
The truth of the matter is this should never be a problem. A quality chassis builder should be capable of repairing practically any wreck damage and ensuring that all the suspension pickup points are right where they should be so that the car handles just as it did before. It does require an investment in a level plate and jigs, and definitely quality fabrication skills, but it can be done.
04. Notice how the firewall has been wrinkled around the lower support tube. That's a sign that the tube was bent inward during the wreck. And the gap around the hole on the lefthand side shows that the tube didn't completely return to position once the bent clip was cut away. Cornet noted all this and determined that the tubing that remains hasn't lost its structural integrity. He'll wait to see how the new clip fits up before deciding whether more should be cut away.
08. This is obviously not the same car, but it is easier to see with this chassis that's still under construction. Before he can weld anything up, Cornet and Byrd set the ride heights on the level fabrication table. But, like with this new chassis under construction, it works opposite the way most people think. The car is set on a baseline level and then adjusted according to height changes. For example, the baseline number for the ride height may be six inches with the left-rear an inch higher. But for chassis repair and fabrication, the heights work opposite. The car is set up 6 inches off the plate, but the left-rear is at minus an inch (or 5 inches). This way the chassis can still be built on a level surface for accuracy, but once the suspension is installed the left-rear corner will sit 1 inch higher like it should.
We know that most race shops don't have the time or the hardware to make serious chassis repairs, but every race team should be able to identify when a chassis builder is capable of performing quality repair work.
Hess Race Cars in Mooresville, North Carolina, is a shop exactly like that when it comes to asphalt racing chassis. They regularly build everything from Late Model Stocks to NASCAR touring cars. To show you how it's done right, we documented one of the toughest repair tests any chassis builder faces. This is an asphalt touring car that took a pretty hard lick to the right front corner and requires a new front clip. Making matters more difficult is the fact that the car was originally fabricated by a different builder. The owner had already noticed the success that the Hess-built cars were having in the series and after the wreck, brought the car to the Hess shops for one of their front clips. Putting a new clip on one of your own cars is one thing, but the task gets much more difficult when trying to fabricate a new clip to a car with different attachment points between the clip and the framerails.
Other top-quality chassis builders may vary their methods slightly, but for the most part it all works the same. And we know this works because we've seen cars both built and repaired by the craftsmen at Hess Race Cars many times at many different racetracks.

I purchased thirty two pairs of these scissors as Christmas gifts for my knitting group and they all loved them. They were the perfect size and excellent quality to give and they were inexpensive. I am thrilled that they were so nice and everyone loves them. I only wish they had come with a sheath to cover the blades which would have made it an even better gift.
These are the best 4 inch scissors ever. They are well made. Can not say enough about them LOVE LOVE them. :)
Very disappointed in these Scissors. I owe a pair I bought elsewhere and bought these for a gift. They were so far inferior to the ones I have that I could not in good conscience gift them. I had to buy another pair at another retailer.
Very disappointed. This brand is suppose to one of the best. They look good but they are very tight and hard to open an close. So they don't cut smooth. I have bought cheap scissors from next to the cash register that have worked better.
These scissors are great for any handwork. They are extremely sharp and easy to carry bacause of the size. This was my third purchase of these.
Great scissors, great deal! And delivered quickly. I bought three pairs for gifts, and everyone loved them.
Been using now for about 6 months. Still cut great. Great deals for the price.
I use these for my needle point. The scissors are plenty sharp and have a good sharp tip if I need to get under a thread to cut it out of the fabric,
Very nice pair of snips. Sharp and comfortable to use.
I love the scissors and would purchase again. They are great.

Walters aims to get Twins back on track vs. Tigers
Right-hander rejoins Minnesota in season debut against Detroit's Fister
The Twins didn't fare well on offense or from the mound in the season debut of starter Samuel Deduno on Friday night.
Anibal Sanchez lost his no-hit bid to a Joe Mauer single in the ninth, and the Tigers racked up 11 hits and six runs.
But Minnesota will be hoping Saturday's starter, also taking the hill for them for the first time this year, won't fall victim to that same fate.
P.J. Walters will get the ball for the Twins against the Tigers on Saturday at Comerica Park, taking on the Tigers' Doug Fister as Detroit aims to secure the series win.
Walters started nine games with Triple-A Rochester, posting a 3.31 ERA with 46 strikeouts and 16 walks in 54 1/3 innings. He'll try to best a red-hot Tigers offense, which leads the American League in batting average and runs scored.
Miguel Cabrera had homered in four straight games before Friday night, and went 1-for-4 with two RBIs off Deduno and company.
"[Cabrera] doesn't throw any at-bats away anymore, and I'm proud of him for that," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said Tuesday. "Because we talked about that a couple years ago. He's a hard guy to get out. No matter when he's up there, no matter what the situation is, he's a tough guy to get out. When he grinds that at-bat out, it's something to see."
Twins: Minnesota keeps slumping
• The Twins have lost 10 games in a row, their longest losing streak since September 2011. They've gone 0-5 to open a nine-game road trip.
"It just seems like we played really well and just had a lot of bad breaks," pitcher Scott Diamond said Thursday. "But good teams have to come back and fight. And we're still showing fight, so as deflating as it is right now, I guarantee you we'll keep fighting tomorrow."
• The Twins bullpen allowed four runs on Thursday, the first runs it surrendered to the Tigers in 15 2/3 innings. Minnesota's relievers were solid Friday, however, throwing 2 2/3 innings and being charged with two hits and no earned runs while striking out four.
Tigers: Detroit bats stay hot
• Miguel Cabrera has at least two RBIs in each of his last five games. If he has a multi-RBI game Saturday, he will tie a Tigers record that dates back to 1940.
"The numbers are unbelievable. The hardest part about that lineup is they have so many great hitters," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "Fielder is an MVP guy himself. So it's kind of like flip a coin. You tell yourself not to let Miggy beat you, but then the next guy will."
• The Tigers are 48-18 at Comerica Park since July 4, 2012, the best mark in the baseball in that stretch.
Worth noting
• Fister is 3-6 in his career against the Twins, but owns a 3.13 ERA. He has struck out 49 and walked 10 in 60 1/3 innings.
• Cabrera has 27 career home runs against Minnesota, his second most against a single team. He's hitting .324 lifetime against the Twins.
• Justin Morneau has reached base safely in 14 of his last 16 games at Comerica Park.

Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.

sli is useless for that card, you have to use multigpu.
I have a nvidia 7950gx2 with Mandriva 2010.0 and latest nvidia drivers. The problem is I not able to have advantage from multigpu configuration.
I run unigine-tropics with sli=afr result 20,5fps
I run unigine-tropics with sli=sfr result 21,5fps
I run unigine-tropics with sli=no result 24,0fps!!!!!
Why my board run faster without sli or multigpu enabled??!! Or the nvidia drivers always enable two board without editing xorg.conf?
Is better to use "multigpu" or "sli" in xorg.conf?
sli is useless for that card, you have to use multigpu.
With multigpu the result is the same... where is the problem? Without multigpu i have more high performance. Why? I have a q6600@3ghz, the fps is too low for my config? I watched other result of other users and nvidia8800 have the double of my graphic power!
Thanks for help (and excuse for my poor english)
sli is for more than 1 card, multigpu is in theory the same as sli but more chips on 1 card.
ok... but the problem remains
SLI is always problematic, why do you think a Win game will not be accellerated until you get a suited SLI profile? I would sell that card and get a faster single gpu card, much less troubles.
I use win only on vmware.... sell the card? I'm thinking
When i use compiz or kwin the benckmarks performance is half of normal.... is normal?

Already got it. Hopefully it will be allowed to activate it on Steam aswell.
Phoronix: The Humble Indie Bundle #2 Has Arrived
As was pointed out in our forums this morning, the second "Humble Indie Bundle" has arrived. It was just five days ago that there were hints of a second bundle on the way after the very successful first bundle that led to all of those games being open-sourced. Now though the second Humble Indie Bundle is now available and with all new games...
Already got it. Hopefully it will be allowed to activate it on Steam aswell.
Being able to activate it on steam is nice, but it is not that useful until the mystical Steam Linux client is available.
Errr, did braid get a linux port when I wasn't looking or are they talking wine?All of the games work great on Mac, Windows, and Linux
Braid appears to have a Linux client. At least, there is a self-extracting archive file available for download for Linux. I need to investigate this.
Yes, all games have a native linux client. Just got back from playing braid
Only Lugaru and Penumbra were open-sourced, the rest weren't.
Originally, only LugaruHD was going to be opensourced anyway.
From Ars: http://arstechnica.com/gaming/news/2...t-you-want.ars
"Braid is making its Linux debut in the bundle, as is Cortex Command, which is timing a large game update with the launch,"
"We learned that piracy is inevitable—even when you let people literally give a penny to charity for DRM-free games, large percentages of people will still pirate the bundle," he said. "We learned that open source software is still commercially viable. After open sourcing a number of games in the bundle, none of our sales were negatively affected."

"different requirement" = nazi-style control and CLA.
Phoronix: Canonical's Mir Project Retracts Wayland Criticism
If you are now to look at Ubuntu's Mir specification page for their new display server, you will see that their open criticism of Wayland/Weston has disappeared...
"different requirement" = nazi-style control and CLA.
so, classical NIH at its finest
Please folks (both Mir and Wayland devs), it doesn't matter that time has been wasted. What matters is that somehow you folks find common ground and work together openly.
It shouldn't really surprise me when Larabel's vitriol and narrow mindedness towards Ubuntu is reflected in these forums. I've lurked about here long enough to see it over and over.
It's still dead depressing though.
I guess Ubuntu will likely lose more users with moves like this, but lately, after reading these forums and comments like them, I wonder if that's actually a good thing. The more hate I see against Ubuntu, the less I'm tempted to start distro-hopping again. I sure as hell as don't love everything Canonical does, but they're the only ones I see trying to do better.
Better than... this.
well to be honest there is no technical reason to outcast wayland for mir, in fact im pretty sure wayland fullfil all their requirements and future plans too way more efficiently, so i suspect is a license issue[more than NIH] because they want nvidia/AMD/SOC blobs in their wagon fast, so mir is the faster way[if they ever deliver at all] to develop a server around blobs and not fully native drivers[wayland way].
about their input reason it sounds like bollocks to me, first is a very bad design idea to include input handling inside the main protocol since is way more efficient to pass the required action to the server/protocol and process the input handling outside, for example imagine this cases:
1. mouse/keyboard
2. touch/gestures
3. voice/camera
4. 3D input
5. future brainwave matrix tech
R1. in case 1 probably either solution is efficient enough since the information comming from any of those devices is quite simplistic but it can be way more interesting if they are processed separately and only send the server what action it should perform, so you dont have to rewrite half wayland/mir core code base to support 1080DPI 10 button uber mouse for mutants with 6 fingers
R2-5. same case, a hypothetical libgesture[and infrastructure] should handle/compare/process what your fingers are doing[touch movement/gesture/multitouch] and the client app should send a request to the server for X operation once libgesture send a positive match on a set of action the app preset to watch[two finger in a line rect if so tell server to show texture A otherwise hide it], now would you really want gesture processing inside the protocol/server definition? what happens if samsung release 6 months later a 10 finger touch screen instead of 5?. Now imagine this mess with something as massive a video processing for gestures in your carl heiss 40 MPixels tablet camera or you phone CPU locking trying to reduce background noise while you tell it to open a browser in rush hour, let me help you!! pure explicit pain.
so being wayland or any other system input should be handled and processed by specific subsystem that specialize in solving this events efficiently and pass to the protocol/server only what it needs to know and this that sense wayland seems the right solution[open to corrections if am wrong] beside i seriously doubt there is anything more efficient at power consumption/performance than wayland
Note that Canonical's Contributor License Agreement strongly discourages code collaboration. Requiring copyright assignment is pretty rare, and even rarer still when the assignee can take the code proprietary. It also discourages working together since it puts everyone not the assignee on a considerably lower footing.

Breast-conserving surgery with lumpectomy (removal of a breast tumor, but not the whole breast) followed by radiation therapy has been shown to be as effective as mastectomy (removal of the entire breast) for women with a single tumor in one breast. Mastectomy has been the traditional surgery for women with more than one tumor in the same breast.
In this study, researchers want to determine if lumpectomy plus radiation therapy is as effective as mastectomy for reducing the risk of cancer recurrence in women with two or three tumors in the same breast, and to assess how satisfied patients and their surgeons are with the cosmetic appearance of the breast. All women in this study will have breast-conserving surgery followed by radiation therapy to the entire affected breast. Investigators will observe how many patients in this study eventually need to return for a mastectomy, and also examine the side effects of whole breast radiation given after lumpectomy.
This study is being conducted by the American College of Surgeons Oncology Group (ACOSOG) through Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology (Alliance).
To be eligible for this study, patients must meet several criteria, including but not limited to the following:

Warp-Speed Sales Growth for Colorado Contractor
Denver-area Environmental Landworks burst onto the scene in 2007 when co-owner Bill Chevalier was presented with a career-changing opportunity to do a large commercial landscaping job. From that day forward, one job has led to another—to the point where the company has racked up sales of more than $5 million in this its sixth year in business.
Environmental Landworks considers itself a commercial construction company. But over the past couple of years, they've built up a substantial "service" operation (i.e. maintenance and snow removal), and are now establishing a residential design/build division. Chevalier, together with partner Michael Sittaro, say it's all part of an effort to improve the financial health of the company as it enters the second phase of its young existence.
Commercial construction paves the way
Chevalier started out in the Green Industry in 1991. He studied landscape design and construction at Colorado State University and earned a horticulture degree in 1996. He even had his own small landscape company for a short time after graduating. Then he got married, and decided to put having his own company on the back burner. Chevalier went to work for another landscape firm. This is where he developed a love for commercial construction.
In time, Chevalier took a new job with another large landscape company in the Denver area. "I networked like crazy," he relates. "My goal was always to learn as much as possible so I could start another company of my own. An amazing opportunity came up with a developer in 2007. I was a bit hesitant, but it was a once-in-a-lifetime chance I couldn't pass up."
Although Environmental Landworks has since branched into both maintenance and residential design/build, commercial construction still accounts for roughly half of the company's overall revenue. Chevalier likes to refer to it as the company's lead blocker.
"Commercial construction opens up holes for us to run through," Chevalier says while sticking with the football metaphor. "The margins are tight. But with the dollar volume it generates, it helps us absorb a lot of liability. Our commercial construction division alone allows us to recover the majority of our overhead, including our trucks and equipment."
Commercial construction also helps establish a level of comfort among staff. "We've never had a mass layoff in the six years we've been in business," Chevalier points out. "If we retained employees for four or five months, and then let them go for the rest of the year, we'd have a hard time getting them back. So we have an annual staff meeting at the end of each season. We look at our backlog of work and projected man-hours, and then leave it up to them. Do we want to lay some guys off, or do we want to divide those projected man-hours equally so we can keep everybody? Our crew members might be cut back to 20 hours a week for the off-season. But they're usually OK with that. This is what seems to work best for us, as well."
Two keys to standing out in commercial
Chevalier says he's heard some refer to Environmental Landworks as a "boutique" landscape company. Not because the company is small or niche, but because it's sophisticated. "We're willing to take on more challenging, time-sensitive projects that are more integrated with an overall construction project," Chevalier says.
Two things have helped Environmental Landworks establish a strong reputation in this regard: close collaboration with architects from the beginning, and "unparalleled" pre-construction services.
"We always try to make sure an architect knows that we will not mess with the integrity or intent of their design," Chevalier says. "We want to work hand in hand to solve problems. There can be no finger pointing."
Grading issues are a good example. Sometimes there's a slight miscalculation on a plan—which can result in several additional cubic yards of dirt that need to be hauled away. "We get together with the architect to discuss our options," Chevalier says. "We try to move some things around and massage the grades so we won't have to export as much material."
Pre-construction services represent one of the biggest feathers in Environmental Landworks' hat. Fred McAfoos, with more than 40 years experience, spearheads this effort. "Fred works closely with the architect so the architect doesn't over-bid," Chevalier explains. "For example, if a client says they don't want to drop a single penny over $200,000 on the landscape, we need to find a way to make that happen. So we might have to downsize certain elements or eliminate an extra, like a water feature, for example."
Bringing maintenance in house
As the company's lead blocker, commercial construction has opened up one particularly sizable hole: a foray into commercial maintenance. In its first year in business, there wasn't a single mower in Environmental Landworks' equipment fleet. "We actually bid out maintenance to our competitors because we didn't own a mower, and really didn't want to," Chevalier recalls. It's a different story today, however.
A couple of years ago, Chevalier and Sittaro began the process of bringing maintenance in house. Initially, their construction crews started doing irrigation system maintenance and landscape maintenance. Today, maintenance and snow removal is its own fully staffed division—generating nearly $2 million a year depending on snowfall.
Like commercial construction, commercial maintenance is highly competitive. The margins are tight, too, and have gotten even tighter. Chevalier says, "You can't eliminate this challenge, because every day there's a lowballer coming after just about every job we have. We need to make sure we don't open the door for them to take work from us. That simply comes down to quality and communication."
Environmental Landworks does offer full-service maintenance, but relies on subcontractors for some of it.
As far as tree work goes, Environmental Landworks handles "anything they can get from the ground," but subcontracts the more intense work. They also subcontract plant health care. "We have a great relationship with a company that specializes in tree and turf care," Chevalier points out. This company actually emerged just a few years before Environmental Landworks came to be. Chevalier knew the key people from having worked side by side with them at other companies.
"We've tried doing lawn care (chemical and organic applications) ourselves, but it makes more sense for us to outsource it," Chevalier relates. "We just can't match the efficiency of this other company. Plus, we don't need to worry about licenses or storing the materials. Subcontracting actually reduces our costs by 30%, so we will stick with this approach for now."
Quickly establishing a residential presence
Environmental Landworks' latest initiative has been an expansion into the residential design/build arena. Chevalier says the opportunities in this market aren't as plentiful as several years ago, but the opportunities that do exist are lucrative.
"We've been successful with renovations and new constructions for large HOAs," Chevalier says. "My goal is to have patience and a strong desire to educate. That's why we're proactive in communicating with not only the board president, for example, but also the homeowners themselves. We regularly send bulletins to every single member."
This tactic has led to additional opportunities. They aren't necessarily huge projects, but they add up. "A homeowner within a large HOA might ask us to do an irrigation system upgrade or install a paver patio on their property," Chevalier says. "We have our maintenance crews handle these jobs."
Environmental Landworks has also begun targeting the single-family estate market. Thus far, roughly 20% of the projects are tied to new home construction—not to mention the relationships Chevalier and Sittaro have with area builders. The other 80% are what Chevalier likes to refer to as, "scrape and start over." Very little advertising is done, as virtually all projects are derived from word of mouth.
Now the company sees a growing need for estate maintenance. Like in the commercial arena, competition is hot. "I might bid a property at $125 a week, but we're getting undercut by more than half," Chevalier says. "But it's usually a small crew with an old truck that's bidding against us. So for us it's about image and knowledge. There's a fine line between regular residential maintenance and estate maintenance. We want to help make that line a little bit clearer through the way we operate."
Now completing their sixth year in business, Chevalier and Sittaro are quite happy with how their company operates. They're also happy with how their partnership has flourished.
"We understand each other's strengths, weaknesses, goals and expectations," Chevalier says. "One word that describes us is 'passion.' We've gone through a lot for our employees and customers. But we wouldn't trade it for the world. We are so grateful for this opportunity." It's an opportunity Chevalier is sure glad he didn't pass up back in 2007.

Heeding Pope's call to pray for peace, Trinity students ponder Mideast crisis
The senior had seen the pictures in the news of the dead children and teenagers.
She and about 440 classmates attended a brief prayer service outside school Friday morning, with four students carrying a cross in a procession.
Trinity senior Stephen Merrill said he's following developments in Syria daily.
He fears the Syrian rebels challenging the government troops include terrorists. "We shouldn't be supporting them and helping them," Merrill said.
"If we go into Syria it looks like we're trying to control everything," Bourque said. "If we don't go into Syria, it looks like we don't care."
A half-dozen other students interviewed said they hadn't followed developments closely.
"I'm kind of indifferent," said sophomore Jason Dufour. "Something should probably be taking place. I'm not actually sure. Obviously, there's bad stuff going on."
Freshman Oliver Thomas said: "I've heard there's been bad things going on."
Thomas said he thought the prayer service was a good idea.
Pope Francis urged the international community to seek a negotiated solution to the conflict in Syria and announced on Sunday that he would lead a worldwide day of prayer for peace in the country today.
He invited other Christians, members of other religions and all "people of good will" to join the Catholic initiative today in any way they saw fit.
