Gun advocates hold rally at Arizona Capitol
PHOENIX � Gun advocates in Arizona have joined nationwide rallies in support of gun rights.
The group Guns Across America Rally for Arizona held Saturday a largely peaceful rally Saturday at the Arizona State Capitol. Hundreds of protesters, some carrying rifles and holstered handguns, waved signs that said "We respect gun rights" and "Defend your constitution before it is too weak to defend."
One man dressed as a Revolutionary War Minuteman carried an antique 1800s-style long rifle, along with sign saying "Tyrants Beware - 1776."
The rally is one of many slated to take place on state capitols across the country thanks to a loosely organized campaign via social media. The rallies were sponsors by the Washington D.C.-based group Political Media.

Aloe vera |
Aloe vera - The Essential FeaturesIndex
Aloe veraAloe vera, Barbadensis vel Socotrina, Aloe Soccotrina N.O. Liliaceae Family: Jussieu [vegetable substance] - Hexandria monogynia, L. Mode of preparation: A tincture is made from the fiery red gum of the plant by trituration. THE ESSENTIAL FEATURESThis is a remedy that primarily affects the digestive system and more especially the end of the large intestines. Its tendency is to produce an engouement of the veins causing fullness throughout the body, but more especially in the liver region, an abdominal, rectal and intestinal fullness. The main pathology in which you will find Aloe to be indicated is spastic or ulcerative colitis. I have found, however, that the great characteristic of this remedy is a preoccupation that the patient has with his pathology, that is to say with the whole cycle - eating to excreting. Aloe is easily disturbed by the intake of food, its digestion and its expulsion. If you should have such a case, and treat it for a long time before recognising it, you will find that the patient takes on a hypochondriacal attitude towards his "stool" and the disturbances that accompany it. The patient may complain constantly about being unable to have a normal stool, and though there may be several stools a day he remains unsatified. Actually Aloe can produce a state where the intestines work intensely, as if inflamed for a few days, where the patient may have several stools a day, and then for a certain period of time there may be total inactivity. Stool is not diarrhoic, but soft, unformed and can come several times in the morning, for several days, and this in a crescendo, e.g. three times the first day, four times the second, five times the fourth etc. This can then be followed by an obstinate constipation for two or three weeks, during which there may be no stool, or very little, passed with great difficulty. Together with this or a similar situation the patient may feel an uncertainty concerning the rectum. He may often pass some flatus, and accompanying this, or instead of it, a little bit of a soft stool. The patient knows this and tries to control it, but there is excessive flatus in the abdomen and a lot of rumbling and gushing; much gas is evacuated with stool, but he gets little relief and you will tend to prescribe Podo. or Lyc. with little or no effect. This syndrome seems to annoy the patient tremendously. He may become angry against his disease and almost constantly preoccupied with his stool. Why can't I have a normal stool? Where is this condition going? Am I going to have a normal stool or not? Today I did not have any stool, and so on and so forth. He is so preocccupied with it that he will give you the impression that he is very anxious about his health. If you ask him directly whether he is afraid of having cancer he will deny it but he will accept that this whole situation annoys him tremendously and makes him somewhat anxious. There seems to be a disturbing feeling originating from the rectum; this may be due to a number of causes, namely: an intense itching deep in the rectum, a sense of fullness as from the presence of stools that cannot come out, deep pain from hemorrhoids, the fact of having mucus in the stool, or some involuntary discharge of stool or mucus. Whatever the cause, the result is always the same: tremendous annoyance that leads the patient to despair, and sometimes leads him to put his finger right into his rectum to relieve the itching or whatever other feeling may be there. Your final observation will be that "his stool and his rectum" preoccupy his mind so much that he cannot think of anything else; this at least is the impression that he will give you. A grand keynote of Aloe that can always guide you to this remedy is the lack of control he has over the sphincters of the anus in both acute and chronic conditions. Kent describes this beautifully for the acute state: "Dysenteric and diarrhoic troubles. In the attack of diarrhea there is gushing of thin, yellow, offensive excoriating faeces, which burn like fire, and the anus is sore. He holds the stool with difficulty, does not dare take his mind off the sphincter because as soon as he does so the stool will escape. He cannot let the least quantity of flatus escape, because with it there will be a rush of faeces. With the Aloe diarrhea the abdomen is distended with gas, causing a feeling of fullness and tightness, and he must go often to stool. Little ones soon after they begin to walk, will drop all over the carpet, involuntarily, little yellow drops of mucus and faeces,..There is a lack of control of the sphincter. This state is not always confined to diarrhea because sometimes children will go around dropping involuntarily little hard, round, marble-like pieces of stool. They do not even know the stool has passed... " I had a case of chronic spastic colitis with a lot of rumbling and flatus and distension, with little pain in the abdomen and an amelioration in the evening and I prescribed Lycopodium in different potencies with very little effect, then I gave Gambogia and Podophyllum and waited but no effect. I took the case again and again until I learned, out of a direct question, that sometimes the patient would have a little involuntary stool thinking that it was flatus; she confessed further that at least three times during the last few years she had had an involuntary stool during sleep that passed out unnoticed, a complete evacuation. She was too shy to tell me all that from the very beginning, and did not think that it was that important as it happened infrequently. Aloe brought about a relief not only of the spastic colitis but of her mental state as well. Looking upon the case in this way we notice the great annoyance which the patient suffers from the stool and rectum. The patient becomes irritable and hateful, dissatisfied, discontented and his conduct repels others. The Aloe case may become cross and peevish, without any reason, but especially in cloudy weather. Dissatisfied and angry about himself. In the text it says loathing of life during pain, irritability during pain. All this seems to be connected with the functioning of the digestive cycle. Sometimes the patient may become particularly angry if somebody expresses a different opinion; he then has to restrain himself not to hit the other person, not to be violent. All this turmoil upsets him enormously however, and he starts having pains in the abdomen, and more distention and more flatulence and more irritability. He knows that by becoming so angry inside he will have to suffer. Aloe appears to be a rather calm and stoic individual in spite of such inner irritations. To others he looks calm and serene and takes up a rather philosophical attitude. He looks content. Aloe individuals appear to be phlegmatic and indolent. Underneath there is actually a state of indifference. Indeed I have often found a state of resignation from life, an attitude such as: "I know there is no hope. I will die soon, but it does not matter really". A loathing of life is apparent, where it seems as though he were not interested in continuing to live, though the pathology does not at all justify such an attitude. In the books we read: "Tranquility, serenity, reconciled to fate." Further on we read: "predicts the time of death", but this symptom, if you should find it, is only expressed in this way in the acute states. There is a strong fear on seeing blood which may cause Aloe to faint, also fears of doctors, of hospitals, of being alone and of high places. Aloe people seem to be rather closed up and do not establish deep relationships. The Aloe organism is one that goes up and down easily, and has alternating states. For instance he can be excited easily, the face becoming flushed, heated up, the mind racing with thoughts crowding each other, and then a change can take place leading him to a state of lassitude and indifference. The mind can be very active for a certain time, followed by periods of exhaustion and indolence with an aversion to mental work. Mental exertion makes him feel worse. This kind of functioning of the mind, for instance discontent in the morning followed by contentedness in the evening, is similar to the one we see in rectum: a lot of successive stools and then a period of constipation. In remedies we must try to see patterns rather than symptoms; be aware, however, and make sure you see the real ones and not imaginary ones. Once you understand the pattern you can recognise it with greater ease in a case than a keynote which can often be misleading. A usual time of aggravation for Aloe is undoubtedly the time after eating. Immediately after eating his mood changes, he wants to be by himself, wants to remain silent, immersed in his own thoughts. Many times he becomes anxious or indifferent. He may have fainting spells, vertigo or headache. A similar condition will appear in case of abnormal or inefficient stool. What is important for you to remember is that his mood changes once the process of digestion starts and will not stop until it is finished. Of course this is an exaggeration, but the underlying idea, the pattern, is correct. It is an organism that labours under the effort of processing food and expelling the waste. It is aggravated with irritability before stool, or if the stool is insufficient, but we do not see the real amelioration after stool characteristic of Natr-s., or Calc-carb. On the contrary we see a general weakness, a faintness after stool, and in severe acute cases Aloe may fall into unconsciousness during stool. The time of amelioration of this remedy is in the evening, the anxiety, the irritability, the discontent, the sadness are all better in the evening. GeneralitiesSuitable for obese people with sedentary habits, of a lymphatic or hypochondriacal temperament. Phlegmatic, indolent. We must stress also the portal congestion, the portal stasis and the propensity of this remedy to manifest haemorrhoids which protrude like "a bunch of grapes". Weakness with perspiration; entering a warm room; after vomiting; from sour food. Fainting after diarrhea, also after stool. Desire for cold air. Sensation of congestion and fullness all over the surface of the body. There is orgasm of blood with anxiety and restlessness. Sensation of a plug internally. Aggravations: There is a general aggravation from heat; after eating; from oysters; in warm season; in a warm room; in the morning at 5 or 6 a.m. Aggravation of colitis symptoms with beans and peas. Amelioration in cool open air, with cold applications, passing flatus, after tea. Needs stimulants Aloe has a reputation for clearing a case after a lot of medication. I have not been able to understand this reputation or to justify it. Vertigo – Head A great peculiarity of this remedy is the alternation of symptoms of the head with different other symptoms. Head symptoms alternating with abdominal or uterine symptoms or with backpain, lumbago. Headache alternating with hemorrhoids. Dandruff. Eye Ear Nose Face Mouth Throat Stomach Abdomen In the abdomen we see a lot of characteristic symptoms as this is the area of special action of this remedy. The fullness, the distension, the dragging down sensations prevail. There is fullness due to portal stasis, irritation of the mucous membranes of the intestines with a lot of mucous discharge and weakness of the muscular structure especially of the sphincters of the anus. The abdomen feels full and bloated with gurglings before stool. There is heaviness in lower abdomen with dragging down sensation. Prolapse of rectum. Distress and a kind of anxiety felt in the abdomen before stool. The pains in abdomen tend to extend to different directions. It is one of very few remedies that have this tendency. Pain in the hypochondria extends to the chest. Pain extends from the inguinal region down to the legs and knee. Pressing pain from the sides extends to the navel. Pain from the umbilucus or the lower abdomen extends downwards, to the anus. The peculiar thing is that this pain will appear immediately after the stool or in the effort to have an unsatisfactory stool. The pain is better lying on abdomen or bending forwards. Dull pain, uneasiness, tension in the liver region, worse when standing, has to bend forwards. Discharge of flatus relieves pain in the abdomen. Sensation of pulsation during night in bed. Constant rumbling in abdomen, with a feeling as if they must have a stool, but no evacuation following (in cases of severe gastroenteritis). Rectum Intolerant itching in rectum, ameliorated by cold bathing, has to stick in his finger to ameliorate the distress. Urinary Organs Male – genitalia In the male we see either impotency with coldness of the scrotum and indifference, no desire at all, or easy excitement especially after the urethra has been stimulated with urination or involuntary emissions. Penis shrunk, atrophied, testicles cold. Impotency. There is neither desire nor erections. They can be easily disappointed from their own performance in sex, they feel they cannot satisfy the partner, which makes them lose their desire and potency. In general the libido is not strong. Erections in children. Involuntary emissions during sleep at night, in the morning and during siesta, followed by sexual excitement and erections. Sexual irritability, erections without desire after eating. Sexual excitement after urinating. Female – genitalia Chest Back Extremities Sleep Fever Skin CLINICALAffection of anus. Constipation alternating with diarrhea. Gastroenteritis. Cholera. Dysentery. Hemorrhoids. Proctitis. Prolapsus uteri, anus. Affections of prostate. Lumbago. Pain in sacrum. CAUSATIONSedentary habits.

Globalization, Human Rights & Security
Women make up a majority of the world's poor; more than half of immigrants, refugees and casualties of armed conflicts; and they are often the first to feel the brunt of economic, political, environmental and humanitarian crises. At the same time, women are essential partners for promoting conflict resolution, reducing extremism and promoting post-conflict reconstruction and sustainable development. However, governments and international organizations often overlook the significant contributions and vital perspectives of women and girls, thereby undermining effective security policies and peace-building initiatives. Human rights advocates and security experts are calling for more efforts to invest in women, implement gender-sensitive laws and policies and ensure that women are included at decision-making tables.

Recidivism Among Young Parolees: a Study of Inmates Released from Prison in 22 States, 1978 (ICPSR 8673)
Principal Investigator(s): United States Department of Justice. Office of Justice Programs. Bureau of Justice Statistics
This study examines the criminal activities of a group of young offenders after their release from prison to parole supervision. Previous studies have examined recidivism using arrests as the principal measure, whereas this study examines a variety of factors, including length of incarceration, age, sex, race, prior arrest record, prosecutions, length of time between parole and rearrest, parolees not prosecuted for new offenses but having their parole revoked, rearrests in states other than the paroling states, and the nature and location of rearrest charges. Parolees in the 22 states covered in this study account for 50 percent of all state prisoners paroled in the United States in 1978.

CC, Yanks out to extend successful run against Jays
The Yankees will send their ace to the mound at Yankee Stadium on Saturday in hopes of continuing their success against the Blue Jays.
But if recent trends mean anything, the Blue Jays should come out of top. Toronto has not lost three games in a row this season despite its 9-15 record.
Trying to stop history from repeating itself will be CC Sabathia, who struggled early in his most recent outing. He allowed five earned runs, all in the first three innings, but settled down enough to pitch seven innings and strike out eight.
"CC's been a guy that seems to get stronger as the game goes on," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said after that outing. "He kept us in the game."
"I felt like I was trying to place the ball and be too fluid, and worrying about my delivery," Sabathia said. "When I go out there and pitch, I need to let everything out of my mind and just go out there and battle and worry about the other team."
Opposing Sabathia and the Yankees will be J.A. Happ, who deserved better in his previous outing, against Baltimore. He allowed only one unearned run, with six strikeouts, and scattered four hits.
"I stayed away from the big part of the barrel for the most part tonight, which is good," Happ said after that start. "They got a couple of those hits to the other field, and then the tough situation -- second and third with no outs -- but I was glad to get out of there with minimum damage."
The Blue Jays will need a lengthy start from Happ. They had to turn to their relievers early in both games of this series, and the bullpen has pitched eight innings.
For the season the bullpen has pitched 216 innings, the second most in the Majors.
Going into Saturday's contest, only Casey Janssen and Esmil Rogers are fully rested; Brett Cecil should be available after last pitching on Thursday.
Happ will also be charged with trying to cool the hot-hitting Robinson Cano. The slugging second baseman has gone 12-for-34 in his last eight games, including two home runs and six RBIs.
"You want a great start when you don't have all the starting guys in the lineup," Cano said, referring to his injury-depleted team.
Part of his success comes from remaining patient at the plate.
"That's something that you learn through the years," he said. "You want to learn, the more you play, that sometimes they're not going to pitch you. They're going to pitch around you. So you wait for your pitches. You've got to sit back and look for your pitches, or you take a walk."
Jays: Encarnacion on slugging binge
Edwin Encarnacion has homered in four straight games -- the third time he's accomplished this feat -- and he hit two on Friday. In those four games, he has five hits, all of them home runs, and eight RBIs.
• The Jays have dropped eight of their last 11 and 14 of their last 20 against the Yankees dating back to last season.
• Jose Bautista has reached base safely in 22 of his last 23 contests in New York, and has reached base in all five games against the Yankees in 2013. He hit his sixth home run -- and first against the Yankees -- of the season on Friday.
• Ricky Romero is set to make his first Minor League start of the season on Saturday. Romero pitched poorly in 2012, with a 5.77 ERA and 1.67 WHIP, one year after being the team's best pitcher and an All-Star.
Yankees: Wells continues to feast on Toronto pitching
Vernon Wells is dominating his old team. Wells, who played in Toronto for 12 seasons, has gone 10-for-22, with four home runs and six RBIs this season against his former club.
• Sabathia has had a lot of success vs. Toronto, with a 13-4 record, 2.98 ERA and 120 strikeouts in 127 innings pitched against the Blue Jays in his career.
• Chris Stewart threw out two baserunners on Friday and has now thrown out four of seven total. Last year he threw out eight of 35.
Worth noting
• Following Friday's contest, Toronto has dropped five straight and 14 of its last 16 contests at Yankee Stadium dating back to 2011.

Full story on all of today's roster moves on CSNwashington.com
VIERA, Fla. — The Washington Nationals have traded infielder Alberto Gonzalez to the San Diego Padres for minor-league pitcher Erik Davis and cash, a move that finalizes the club's Opening Day roster.
The trade of Gonzalez leaves the Nationals' spring roster at 25 and means veteran Alex Cora has made the club as a reserve infielder.
General manager Mike Rizzo had received interest from several teams in Gonzalez, who hit .377 this spring while playing all four infield positions. Because the 26-year-old was out of options, the Nationals couldn't have sent him to the minors without first exposing him to waivers.
Club officials had already decided they wanted to keep Cora, a 13-year veteran who hit only .210 last season with the New York Mets and Texas Rangers but hit .359 this spring and took on a leadership role in the clubhouse.
Davis, 24, went 14-3 with a 3.52 ERA and 133 strikeouts in 27 combined starts last season between the Padres' Class A, AA and AAA affiliates. He was San Diego's 13th round pick in the 2008 draft out of Stanford, where he was a teammate of Nationals reliever Drew Storen.
- JayB - Mar 28, 2011 at 10:08 PM
Stanford seems to be a favorite source of Rizzo or….Bob Boone connection? I like this move a lot. Now lets start winning baseball tradition right now.
- Anonymous - Mar 28, 2011 at 10:10 PM
Great move, couldn't keep the guy on the MLB roster so move him. We are already young in the IF with Desmond and Espiano and Zimmerman is still a corner stone. I like the move of getting another successful arm into or minor league system. Keep throwing them against the wall until we get a few to stick. We need at-least 2 pitchers in the minor league ready to move to the MLB in the next 2 years to even matter as a team.
- Neato Torpedo - Mar 28, 2011 at 10:10 PM
Ankiel, Cora… at long last, our dreams of winning the 2004 NL East will be realized.

Morgan and Gonzalez would have done better to capture the 2011 NL East?

Good move for a pretty good under the radar starting pitching prospect. Probably end up in Harrisburg but could also be in Syracuse.
- Wally - Mar 28, 2011 at 10:20 PM
Erik Davis didn't make Sickels top 23 Padre prospects but came in as 'others of note'. I am guessing that means C prospect. Not bad.
- Rob Dibble's Ghost - Mar 28, 2011 at 10:29 PM
The owners of the Mets are jealous of the cash we've gotten in these last couple of trades.
- JayB - Mar 28, 2011 at 10:29 PM
I would bet he would have been a C+ and on our top 20……it will be interesting to see what Sue D has to say about this….
- DCJohn - Mar 28, 2011 at 10:29 PM
Let's hope that some time soon there will be this eruption of talent, we've been promised.
- JayB - Mar 28, 2011 at 10:30 PM
Yea that is odd….here is $50K to make this happen…..it seems like a filing fee or some kind….not that I would not like $50K but does that really make a deal?
- Sec314 - Mar 28, 2011 at 10:31 PM
I'd rather see Bixler than Cora, myself. What does "leadership role" mean anyway?
- Rob Dibble's Ghost - Mar 28, 2011 at 10:33 PM
And if Cora doesn't work out, the Yankees just released Ronnie Belliard…
- Anonymous - Mar 28, 2011 at 10:33 PM
Rizzo is not wowing me with his ability to craft a roster. Last year he added very little to a simply awful club and asked more than one regular to play a new position. This year we have no lead off man, no Ace, no true CF (think about Ankiel and Hairston are a laughable platoon), no true closer, no 2 hole hitter (such that Werth will be asked to move guys over and take some pitches for the club instead of swinging away to knock guys in like they paid him handsomely to do). The speed, defense and athleticism of Stairs and Nix? The out of options and Rule 5 bull pen pickups that are too good to give back or risk to waivers yet not good enough to play in MLB. All while Mike sits on a huge pile of cash?? He's just not getting it done folks.
- Wally - Mar 28, 2011 at 10:34 PM
Davis has a pretty courageous backstory. Hit in the face by a line drive, needed major reconstructive surgery. Fought back through it.
- Jaxpo Nat - Mar 28, 2011 at 10:36 PM
"What does "leadership role" mean anyway?"I think it means he makes the younger players turn down the rap music in the clubhouse.
- JayB - Mar 28, 2011 at 10:38 PM
Njack…I think you are on to something with the Anon approach……."leadership role"….means everything to this team….it means accountability for playing a team game and doing the right things with your AB's…..Just sit back and watch…it will be fun to see real baseball from the Nats for a change.
- Al Roker - Mar 28, 2011 at 10:42 PM
On another – much wetter – note, it looks like Opening Day is going to be a washout. Ugh.
- Ernie - Mar 28, 2011 at 10:44 PM
@anon 6:13I'm a returning partial plan holder and haven't heard a word or seen an e-mail. I seem to get everything late though, even though I paid in full back in October. It could be that priority goes to full-season subscribers.I'm bummed that Obama isn't coming out this year for the first pitch. I doubt we'll host opening day next year so the only way we probably see him again is if he gets re-elected.I'll miss Gonzo. It's hard not to like the guy, and I hope he gets some serious playing time in SD. No problems with the trade – it's probably best for him and its' nice to see what looks like a real prospect in return.
- Padres' Team Store Owner - Mar 28, 2011 at 10:46 PM
A quick look around the ol' WWW shows that Padres fans are generally less than thrilled with this move. At least they can still wear their "A. Gonzalez" jerseys though.
- A DC Wonk - Mar 28, 2011 at 10:54 PM
"Rizzo is not wowing me with his ability to craft a roster. Last year he added very little to a simply awful club and asked more than one regular to play a new position. This year we have no lead off man, no Ace, no true CF (think about Ankiel and Hairston are a laughable platoon), no true closer, no 2 hole hitter"There are so many things wrong with that it's hard to know where to start.But, primarily, you can just snap your fingers and have a team with no holes. You need to have stuff in order to acquire stuff. (As for free agents, they are certainly spending money for top-notch guys — Werth, tried for Chapman and Grienke, etc.).The fact is that after years of MLB decimating the farm system, and after two consecutive 100+ loss seasons, the Nats improved last year by 11 games, and many expect them to improve about that much this year — which is as much as you can reasonably expect from a team in such circumstances. And, finally, if you still don't like the Roster, simply compare the opening day line ups of each of the past two years and this years. If you don't see a steady improvement, then you're just a troll.
- NatsJack in Florida - Mar 28, 2011 at 10:56 PM
Hey JayB……started the Anon thing last week when I got sucked in to a Peric mud fest. It actually works pretty good.This is a much more accountable roster than any team in the past. Has plenty of options for roster moves and they all will be made to win now.Glad you are looking forward to the season.
- dj in Fl. - Mar 28, 2011 at 10:57 PM
I like this team. We will have more players willing to take one for the team rather than think of their stats. There will be fewer players thinking a loss is no big deal. As our young guys arrive back in the bigs, they will find a focused big league team. The Nats are no longer AAAA. If you have not seen this group up close, pay the price just once. These are focused, athletic, professionals, ready for the long haul. Wimps no longer need apply at our front office. Some of you are in for a very surprising season. I got my mlb extra innings set up today. This is going to be a heck of a ride this year gang.
- bdrube - Mar 28, 2011 at 11:00 PM
"A quick look around the ol' WWW shows that Padres fans are generally less than thrilled with this move."That's promising. Davis has got good K/9 numbers (much better than Broderick's, I might add), so he may end up being worth something.

- Anonymous - Mar 28, 2011 at 11:14 PM
Eh. This trade is a slight negative probably, but not overly awful. Davis is a back-end guy at best. But A-Gonz was in the doghouse so this move had to happen. I don't believe at this stage in their careers Cora is a better player than Gonzalez. I also don't believe the 'leadership' story. That's a spring training theme (like best shape of life, or new approach, etc.) that goes away when the games count. Most people would take production over leadership…. Veterans past their expiration dates don't inspire me either. This roster has talent, but it is no winner, fwiw.

@Anon 7:14 Thank god its not worth anything.Now I believe this trade HAD to happen and I'm glad it did. No more Nyjer and no more Gonzo. Let the jettisoning of all that is not a winner attitude be gone from this team. We didn't get anything from the morgan trade but I think what we got for gonzo is great!

- MicheleS - Mar 29, 2011 at 12:07 AM
I think it's a good move. Gonzo wanted more playing time.. he wasn't going to get that in DC with Ian/Danny/Ryan in the infield. We get another pitcher – something you can never have enough of!I am sad to see Roger get sent down. I thought he would be a good 4th outfielder.Hopefully opening day won't be a complete washout!
- Joe Seamhead - Mar 29, 2011 at 12:11 AM
HERE,HERE!!! I second what dj in Fla and Love Da Nats said.Anonymous 7:34 why do you resort to personal attacks & name calling? Is it because you have nothing to bring to the table regarding baseball?
- NatsJack in Florida - Mar 29, 2011 at 12:14 AM
dj in Fla….. great meeting and chatting with you yesterday. Help spread the word on the positive direction Rizzo has the club headed.Heard the assistant GM for the Brewers on MLB Radio say that the trade for Nyjer Morgan was to shore up their late inning defense. Boy is he in for a suprise!
- Theophilus - Mar 29, 2011 at 12:18 AM
The new, positive JayB is someone who I almost think I'd be willing to spend the season with.
- Drew8 - Mar 29, 2011 at 12:19 AM
Constant naysayers come off like predictable cranks. Sure, there is a ways to go, but the Nats have improved. Here's what I like about the roster:When the Nats reach extra innings, they won't send up pinch hitters like Anderson Hernandez, Alex Cintron, Alberto Gonzalez Wily Taveras, or Will "Who?". There are a lot of quality bench bats here — Ramos, Hairston or Ankiel, Nix, Stairs.They also have quality major leaguers in reserve. When guys get hurt or fail to perform, the Nats finally have plausible alternatives — Detwiler, Maya, Bernadina, Brown, Flores, Balester, Kimball. Some might not like the pace or degree of improvement, but this is a better team.
- JayB - Mar 29, 2011 at 12:27 AM
Much better team….Alex Cintron……1 for 23 with the game on the line……don't get me started again!
- Anonymous - Mar 29, 2011 at 12:48 AM
Wow we got more than a can of corn for Gonzo, sounds like a sound move!

Hey JayB……started the Anon thing last week when I got sucked in to a Peric mud fest. It actually works pretty good.@Natsjack,Has anyone told you you are one pathetic sycophant? As I recall erock33 started the "mudslinging" with a personal attack and then claimed foul for precisely his own reprobate behavior. You had nothing to do with it.Pathetic.
- masnstinks - Mar 29, 2011 at 12:59 AM
Speaking of the revolving door of infielders – last night on the Mariners broadcast the announcers were calling Adam Kennedy a hot head – they were listing numerous incidents that they didn't like — they didn't have much good to say about him. At least he's not around anymore – Cora has got to be an upgrade.
- Sunshine_Bobby_Carpenter_Is_Too_Pessimistic_For_Me - Mar 29, 2011 at 1:01 AM
Folks, let's not forget that Gonzo had five (5!) RBI's in 185 at-bats last year. I think we can do without AG's, ahem, production.82-80…Double-dose of that Kool-Aid, barkeep!
- Anonymous - Mar 29, 2011 at 1:11 AM
There's no new, positive JayB. Just the same old idiot JayB with his imaginary idiot friend ABM. Just you wait and see.

Sunshine- good point on Gonzo, he was a solid excuse to order another if he was up and a runner on. Your low on your w'sNatsJack- nice to meet you yesterday…looks like a rain tomorrow so I am sure the boys will be heading home asap. Enjoy the opening games and have one at the Tune Inn for me. Like you were looking for an excuse.
- Anonymous - Mar 29, 2011 at 2:14 AM
If Desmond cannot glove enough to play SS, which is at least a 50/50 outcome (he has never been even an average defender at any level to date), the Nats are going to miss having Gonzalez's nice glove around. And if Zim's groin is bawky AND Desmond continues not to be able to catch, are the Nats really going to look to Hairston and Cora to play every day at this stage of their careers? To back up this pitch-to-contact staff? Yikes. No wonder they finish last every year.
- Tim - Mar 29, 2011 at 2:48 AM
I sort of like sending Roger to Cuse to keep him sharp and let him learn CF. He is available on demand as needed through out the season to cover for morse, if laroche goes on the DL. Gonzo is a +Glove no hit utility guy who seems to think he can play every day. So the fact that they got a pitching prospect for him is decent.
- Golfersal - Mar 29, 2011 at 3:30 AM
Sorry but feel this will be a bad deal for the Nats. Guess time will tell
- Anonymous - Mar 29, 2011 at 10:21 AM
I would have preferred to keep Gonzalez. Ah well. Tim, what makes you think that Bernadina will get any serious CF time in Syracuse? Where do you expect Corey Brown to be?
- Rabbit - Mar 29, 2011 at 12:15 PM
Boy, will you guys be suprised when we are the wild-card THIS YEAR!!! We are even going to be in first place for a while.
- DFL - Mar 29, 2011 at 1:02 PM
Great move. Trading a 21st Century version of Dal Maxville who had little chance to play much here for a pitcher of promise is forward thinking.

Column: Future fund could support scholarship plan
My parents didn't have the money to help pay for my college education. So as a college student, I worked 40 to 50 hours a week to pay for school. Some people would say that hard work builds character. I agree, students should help pay for their education. An individual is more likely to appreciate the opportunity, if he or she has a financial investment in their education. But working full-time can make it difficult to focus on the most important thing – learning. On many occasions, I had to choose between going to class and paying for class. A student should not have to make that choice. South Dakota should have a well-funded needs based scholarship.In 2010, the legislature passed HB 1240 establishing a needs based scholarship. However, the scholarship has yet to be funded. During the first few weeks of the 2013 session, the legislature has discussed the possibility of using some of the $48.7-million surplus as seed money for a needs-based scholarship. One-time money will not be enough to create a sustainable scholarship program. Dr. Jack Warner, Executive Director of the Board of Regents, stated that it would take a minimum of $5 million a year to fund the scholarship properly. South Dakota can afford to fund this program annually and it can do it without raising taxes.South Dakota has a discretionary source of funding called the Future Fund. As an employer, I contribute to the Future Fund through an investment fee on my quarterly unemployment report. The fund was established by the late-Governor George Mickelson and the South Dakota Legislature in 1987. Mickelson was alarmed by what economic experts and officials in South Dakota higher education were referring to as "a brain drain." Mickelson and his successor Governor Walter Miller used the Future Fund in part for scholarships to address this problem. Governor Janklow reversed this stance on the use of the Future Fund for scholarships citing the fund's purpose solely for research and economic development.However, the statute that created this fund does not define what constitutes research or economic development. Most economists would agree that populations with higher education levels are able to sustain economic growth. In fact, a recent Time Magazine article by Rana Foroohar refers to the economic headwinds the U.S. faces due to factors like "…lower levels of education relative to international standards that will hinder growth more than in the past." Without a commitment to higher education, South Dakota economic development will continue to lag behind our neighboring states.It's time for our legislators to step up to the plate. Higher education is an essential component to economic development in South Dakota. Striving to raise the bar and increase educational opportunity for our youth could create an economic advantage for our state. In the process, we can honor Governor Mickelson's legacy and commitment to higher education. The funding for a needs-based scholarship is there, but do our elected officials have the political will?

I have to agree with David Airlie on this one. I've built the Mesa+OpenCL support on Radeon, and libclc needs some packaging work. This was a fork+fix of the upstream libclc project (http://libclc.llvm.org/). The build system for that one is a distributed Makefile with no configure/autoconf system. If someone wanted something to work on, that might be a good candidate.
Also, it would probably be good to get the Radeon changes pushed upstream, so that the Radeon+OpenCL support wouldn't need a custom copy of the libclc library to build. This is assuming that the changes are appropriate for upstream merging.

Tom Watson was named the U.S. Ryder Cup captain for the 2014 matches in a news conference Thursday in New York. / Michael Cohen, Getty Images
Three is better than four.
That's what U.S. Ryder Cup captain Tom Watson believes and Wednesday he announced he has trimmed his captain's selections from four to three players for the 2014 Ryder Cup. A points system will determine the top nine players who will automatically make the team. The USA had used four picks since captain Paul Azinger changed the selection process in 2008.
"I just think giving players the opportunity to earn a spot on merit is the right thing to do," Watson said in Kansas City.
Watson, who captained the USA to victory in 1993 at The Belfry and was on three victorious Ryder Cup teams as a player, will try to turn the red, white and blue fortunes around in 2014 at Gleneagles in Perthshire, Scotland. The Americans have lost five of the last six matches, including a 14½-13½ shocker in September when the Europeans stormed back from a 10-4 deficit.
Watson said he talked with four recent captains about the decision, including Azinger, who bumped up the captain's picks from two to four for the 2008 Ryder Cup, the last time the Americans won.
"I did talk to Paul. He is behind this 100%," Watson said.
Watson added that he has considered 10 people for his assistants.
"They play an integral part of the process," Watson said. "But the bottom line for the players themselves is that they are the catalysts.
" â?¦ The players will know I have been through the Ryder Cup before. They will know I know what they are going through, what they are feeling."
The points system begins with this year's Masters. All four majors in 2013 will count toward the points system. Starting with the Frys.com Open in October, which begins the new wrap-around season for the PGA Tour, all Tour tournaments will count toward the points process. Double points will be awarded for each major in 2014.
Details on the 2014 U.S. Ryder Cup points system:
â?¢Prize money earned in the 2013 major championships (Masters, U.S. Open, Open Championship, and PGA Championship): One point is awarded for every $1,000 earned; all U.S. players making the cut will earn points.
â?¢Prize money earned in 2014 PGA Tour events, beginning Oct. 7, 2013, at the Frys.com Open through the 2014 PGA Championship, ending Aug. 10, 2014. One point is awarded for every $1,000 earned, excluding the major championships, events played opposite major championships and events played opposite World Golf Championships; all U.S. players making the cut will earn points.
â?¢Prize money earned for the 2014 major championships: (Masters, U.S. Open, Open Championship, and the PGA Championship). Two points are awarded for every $1,000 earned; all U.S. players making the cut will earn points.
â?¢Prize money earned in 2014 events played opposite the major championships and opposite World Golf Championships between Jan. 1 and the 2014 PGA Championship - one-half point will be awarded for every $1,000 earned; all U.S. players making the cut will earn points.
â?¢ U.S. captain Tom Watson will complete the team with three captain's selections in September 2014.

I would greatly appreciate any feedback on my short story that, due to a host of technical delays, has finally been posted on the short stories section of the site. The Author Name is W.A. Straub, Jr. the Story is "Grey Morning" Thanks!
This is my advice, as it seems to be to many newer authors. Just concentrate on telling a story in the present tense, don't worry about anything else at first. Forget about the back story, as readers simply don't care about this until well into the work. Don't bother with much internal monologue until much later as well. Just do some dialogue, narration, and some basic description. To get a reader interested start by writing about a threat and stick with it. Don't go off on tangeants. For example: Do this: John walked along the bridge, tripped, and fell into the river. Don't do this: John approached the river caustiously, considering the implications of this dangerous test of grace. In his youth he would often run across a smaller bridge....(stop!). We don't care. Deal with action and threat and when the story is under way you can slow the stroy down with exposition and what not. Also, try not to be repetitious with description. You put too much emphasis on description when all you needed to do was say "it was dark outside". Don't fall in love with your prose, just tell us a story.
Overall I enjoyed the story. I find it to be well written and very visual. Keep up the good work. The Badger
Thanks! the story is taken as a semi-fictional look at what might have happened to the scattered bands of fighters after the battle of Hastings in 1066. The terms used-fyrd and karl, for example, are actual english terms from the age. England was based at the time not on the fuedal ideals of Europe, but on Norse traditions (they were descended from norse peoples, after all). The Norse (vikings) were fine warriors, but not so much in large groups. There was no system of central command, no real method of giving orders in the middle of a battle, and no horse (horses were not common in England before the Normans brought them over). the overall feel is intended to be the inevitability of defeat- they knew they were already beaten, they just weren't willing to roll over and die. Daniel, the main character, had reached the point of despair, and drifted into and out of consciousness and dreaming. thanks for the comments, I'll keep working, of course. anyone who is interested can check out the site where I am posting a longer work as it is finished (I'm through about 10 chapters, but I'm plannign to go back and re-write one of them first). it's at www.geocities.com/wastra/DoW.html I'll welcome feedback on that, too, but remember that it's still in the first draft stages. Thanks!
I always try to give everyone who posts here a read; I know how much authors want a response to their stuff. You're good at description, but I felt the pace dragging too much. Try to insert more action on that first page. I found my eyes skidding over the paragraphs, looking for a hold on some dialogue or surprise attack or something. I will say you seem to know a lot about the middle ages and war and stuff. Your writing shows you've 'done your homework', as they say.

Women's Cross Country Opens Up Season with 9th Place Finish at UNCW Event
September 13, 2010
WILMINGTON, S.C. – The Pfeiffer University women's cross country team finished 9th at the Adidas Seahawk Invitational on the campus of UNC-Wilmington Friday night. Host UNCW and Campbell tied for first place. The race included NCAA Division I, II, III teams including regional opponents Francis Marion and UNC-Pembroke as well as Barton and St. Andrews from Conference Carolinas.
Pfeiffer was led by junior Kaitlyn Mullis who finished the four kilometer (4k) race in 16:01 concluding in 21st place overall and 4th among Division II/III athletes. Following Mullis was Carrie Early who was running in her first collegiate race after missing her freshman season due to injury. Early ran an 18:28 for 65th position overall.
Finishing out the top five for Pfeiffer were three more sophomores; Yasmin Ingram at 18:48 (75th), Rachel Biggerstaff at 19:18 (80th), and April Hinson at 19:43 (85th). Freshman Nina Ubabuike finished in 21:46 in her first college race.
The Lady Falcons are off this weekend and will next run at the Wingate Invitational on September 25th.
INDIVIDUAL RESULTS (4k)

So far so good.
One episode down and Clara made it. Check out the all new trailer for "The RIngs of Akhaten".
Episode Synopsis: In "The Rings of Akhaten," new companion Clara (JENNA-LOUISE COLEMAN, Emmerdale, Captain America: The First Avenger) wants to see something awesome, so the Doctor (MATT SMITH) whisks her off to the inhabited rings of the planet Akhaten, where the Festival of Offerings is in full swing.
Clara meets the young Queen of Years as the pilgrims and natives ready for the ceremony. But something is stirring in the pyramid, and a sacrifice will be demanded...
"There's 1 thing you need to know about traveling with me, 1 thing, apart from the blue box and the two hearts: we don't walk away!"
"The Rings of Akhaten" premieres Saturday Apr 6 at 8/7c only on BBC America. Presented by Supernatural Saturday, only on BBC America.
So, The Great Intelligence will indeed be the ongoing thread this year. It has been around since the Second Doctor's day, so there's plenty of history there. Will we be seeing any Yeti robots serving as guards once more? Probably not, since there wasn't anything guarding The Shard from intruders.
It would be nice to see the Yeti again. I borrowed the two Throughton GI/Yeti stories from my local library. The audio MP3 drama wasn't quite as good as watching those lost episodes but way better than nothing.

I think it's still too early for any comparison.
Anyone interested in seeing how Gallium3D performs so far? There are a few drivers around, opengl is implemented... I'd love to know how it compares to previous drivers for the same cards. Especially when mixing 3D with 2D and things like that, which Gallium should probably do better on.
Granted, it may be early days, and benchmarks might not be accurate indications just yet, but even so, it'd be interesting to know where we stand right now.
I think it's still too early for any comparison.
I believe that the only driver that is fully Gallium3D compliant is the software rasterizer.
So unless you're talking about cpu benchmarks and softaware rendring comparison...

In a recent Steam update, this was one of the items:
"Updated Steam binaries; fixes Linux crash on shutdown or restart"
Phoronix: Steam Greenlight Begins Listing Games For Linux
Valve's Steam Greenlight is beginning to list games for Linux. So far 16 games are listed for Linux on Steam Greenlight...
In a recent Steam update, this was one of the items:
"Updated Steam binaries; fixes Linux crash on shutdown or restart"
Games with Linux support in "10" Greenlit:
Project Zomboid
McPixelLinux support too, assuming of course Steam is headed that way at some point.
What are the system requirements?
Windows XP
Mac OS 10.6 (Snow Leopard)
Linux 2.6
Built using Adobe AIR
I was expecting to see all the games that have been in the Humble Bundles. But yeah its still early.
Euro Truck "SMulator" 2?
Not just sticking already existing games onto Steam.
No, it's not.
Greenlight and Kickstarter are completely different.
The problem that Steam has had in the past is that major stuidios have spent millions of dollars and pushed out great big piles of poo for games. Meanwhile, independent developers have very very low budgets, but also have a capacity to make very original and high quality games that don't sell very well because they don't have any advertising dollars and not many people know about them.
In the distant past, it was only the games that have spent millions of dollars on their development that would *EVER* appear on Stream.
Since the humble bundle, lots of very low budget, very creative, and high quality games have shown up on stream. However if your game is not in the Humble Bundle, then there is very little chance of your low budget game getting into steam.
Steam Greenlight allows *ANY* user to request *ANY* game (completed or not) to be put into steam and if it gets enough votes then it simply happens. On top of that, Steam Greenlight will filter out games that users think are garbage, regardless of how much the developers can spend on advertising or how much they spent developing the game.
Last edited by Sidicas; 09-12-2012 at 09:30 PM.
some games were ok, i voted up about 5 or so of the 16.
im glad valve is sticking this out there so early (or right on schedule if they get a beta out soon after)
as it helps with preventing it with being alienated on its first launch,
i will expect a bunch of minor linux add-ins on steam soon, even when the actual things not launched to the public yet
still kinda wondering how big picture would be on linux, spell me a custom virtualbox for big picture please

Spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the open spaces within your spine, which can put pressure on your spinal cord and the nerves that travel through the spine. Spinal stenosis occurs most often in the neck and lower back.
While some people have no signs or symptoms, spinal stenosis can cause pain, numbness, muscle weakness, and problems with bladder or bowel function.
Spinal stenosis is most commonly caused by wear-and-tear changes in the spine related to aging. In severe cases of spinal stenosis, doctors may recommend surgery to create additional space for the spinal cord or nerves.
Many people have evidence of spinal stenosis on X-rays, but have no signs or symptoms. When symptoms do occur, they often start gradually and worsen over time. Symptoms vary, depending on the location of the stenosis:
Make an appointment with your doctor if you have persistent pain, numbness or weakness in your back, legs or arms.
While some people are born with a small spinal canal, most spinal stenosis occurs when something happens to reduce the amount of space available within the spine. Causes of spinal stenosis may include:
Most people with spinal stenosis have passed the age of 50. When younger people develop spinal stenosis, the cause is typically a genetic disease affecting bone and muscle development throughout the body.
Severe cases of spinal stenosis may cause:
If your family doctor suspects that you have spinal stenosis, he or she may refer you to a doctor who specializes in disorders of the nervous system (neurologist). Depending on the severity of your symptoms, you might also be referred to a spinal surgeon.
Before the appointment, you might want to prepare a list of answers to the following questions:
Your doctor may ask some of the following questions:
Spinal stenosis can be difficult to diagnose because its signs and symptoms resemble those of many age-related conditions. Imaging tests may be needed to help pinpoint the true cause of your signs and symptoms.
These tests may include:
The type of treatment you receive for spinal stenosis may vary, depending on the location of the stenosis and the severity of your signs and symptoms.
To control pain associated with spinal stenosis, your doctor may prescribe:
A physical therapist can teach you exercises that may help:
Your nerve roots may become irritated and swollen at the spots where they are being pinched. Injecting a corticosteroid into the space around that constriction can help reduce the inflammation and relieve some of the pressure. However, repeated steroid injections can weaken nearby bones and connective tissue, so only a few injections a year are allowed.
Surgery may be considered if:
The goal is to relieve the pressure on your spinal cord or nerve roots. For example, a laminectomy removes the back part (lamina) of the affected vertebra to create more room within the spinal canal. In some cases, vertebrae also may need to be fused together to maintain the spine's strength.
In most cases, surgery helps reduce spinal stenosis symptoms. But some people's symptoms stay the same or get worse after surgery. Surgical risks include infection, a tear in the membrane that covers the spinal cord, a blood clot in a leg vein and neurological deterioration.
The following home treatments might help:

Serial Attached SCSI (SAS & SAS 2) Information Resource Center
Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) is a data-transfer technology for moving data to and from storage devices. SAS depends on a point-to-point serial protocol that replaces parallel SCSI bus technology that is commonly used in data centers, workstations and servers. The technology is based on a serial transmission scheme and uses an embedded clock with the 8b/10b data encoding scheme.
The SAS technology is currently at its second generation. It is referred to as SAS-2 and covers speeds of up to 6Gb/s, allowing for faster data transfer than the previous generation. Its predecessor, SAS-1 only covers speeds of up to 3Gb/s. One of the uniqueness of SAS is it offers backwards-compatibility with Serial ATA (SATA) storage devices. SATA devices may be connected to SAS backplanes, but SAS drives may not be connected to SATA backplanes.
The T10 technical committee of the International Committee for Information Technology Standards (INCITS) develops and maintains the SAS protocol and physical layers, while the SCSI Trade Association (SCSITA) promotes the technology. Keysight is an active member and contributor of the T10 and SCSITA, with consistent participation in workshops and specifications development. These resources you find here will provide you with an overview of SAS design, understand the latest measurement techniques, and illustrate design and debug approaches. Keysight - achieve your best design.

Purchase Reason
Everyone who has seen this made a very complimentary comment. I love it.
Purchase Reason
Along with several other mounted or framed pieces from Art.com, all nature scenes, has transformed my office. People comment on the peaceful, tranquil feeling they get from the images. Much more pleasant place to work, for me and my clients!
Purchase Reason
Art.com staff did a great job framing and matting this pic. I got it not only because I liked the image and subject but because the colors went with the room and the vertical format and compositional lines worked well on a wall with an extra-high ceiling. This is a little house, and I want to sell it, so anything that draws attention to space is helpful even if the space is over people's heads, and this pic does a fine job of that. Customer service staff impressed me as very helpful, honest, and nice, btw.
Purchase Reason
I am using it as an accent over the dining room hutch. It is perfect!
Purchase Reason
Exquisite Monet envelops us any time we are in the living room. It is beautiful paired with suede mat.

They tried do some workarounds because HD4k hardware wasn't designed for OCL (AMD needn't it for a GPGPU via ATI Stream)... OpenCL was released after RV770 thats why this card wasn't fully compatible with this API.
OMG... Are You serious? How can they design a hardware without an access to a final specification? (for ATI Stream their solution works great, why? because was designed for this API) Why NV 8k, 9k and 200 series cards was compatible with OCL? Because under the hood OCL was designed based on CUDA solutions in many places (NV have strong position in Khronos and CUDA was more popular than Stream) not on ATI Stream...nothing to do with specifications
The answer is simple. OpenGL codepath in these games are bugged if You have these strange results. For Portal 2 maybe a WINE (designed for NV hardware in many places) or settings are a problem. Sorry, but if 99% titles works good, You can't judge AMD based on 1% of products. I saw similar story with Heroes of Newerth. Users complained about AMD drivers, but they didn't know that a problem is bugged HoN code... We can find many more examples for bugged OpenGL code in apps, which doesn't work properly on AMD cards (AMD cards now allow to do more issues in OpenGL, but this is cause for maintain compatibility with these bugged products; situation is caused by stupid NV policy about failure to comply with an OGL specification) eg. GNOME Shell.
For me discussion is over...
