White Sox 6, Tigers 2
Chris Sale pitched like an ace again Monday.
Sale (8-11) scattered nine hits in his fourth complete game of the season, and the Chicago White Sox overcame Miguel Cabrera's fourth homer in fourth games to beat the Detroit Tigers 6-2.
Josh Phegley, Gordon Beckham and Alexei Ramirez singled in runs in a three-run fifth inning as Chicago handed AL Central-leading Detroit its third loss in four games.
''It was nice, really satisfying,'' Sale said. ''Still fighting, still scrapping.''
Sale, who was 17-8 last season, has suffered from a lack of run support this season while the White Sox have sunk to the bottom of the AL Central. But after spotting the Tigers a 2-0 lead on single runs in the first and second innings, he was in command the rest of the way en route to his fifth career complete game.
The 24-year-old left-hander struck out six and walked none, winning his second straight start after going 1-9 in his previous 11.
''He's in his own world,'' said Detroit's Torii Hunter, who went 0 for 4 with two strikeouts. ''He's definitely the best lefty in the game.
''You saw my swing out there. It wasn't fun. I was trying to see the ball, but I couldn't see it. It was nasty.''
Detroit manager Jim Leyland agreed.
''We faced an All-Star pitcher,'' Leyland said. ''I thought we gave him good at-bats. But he was good. Real good tonight.''
Beckham and Jeff Keppinger each had three hits. Phegley added a second RBI single and Alejandro De Aza hit a sacrifice fly in a two-run eighth that put away the game and gave Sale the best run support he's enjoyed this season.
''Obviously, we wish we could give (Sale) a better record right now,'' Beckham said. ''His numbers match up against everybody.''
Cabrera went 2 for 4 with a homer in the first. The AL leader in batting, RBIs and runs scored is second in homers with 37.
Brayan Pena doubled in Detroit's other run. The Tigers still have won 17 of their last 21, and 26 of 36 dating to July 2.
Tigers starter Doug Fister (10-6) gave up four runs on eight hits and three walks in six innings, after facing just nine hitters and allowing one hit through the first three.
Fister lost following a run of five straight quality starts. He was 4-0 during that span and allowed just seven runs in 34 innings.
''I didn't do my job,'' Fister said. ''I've got to go out and give them a chance to win, especially against the great pitcher that we're facing tonight.''
The White Sox, in last place in the AL Central, enjoyed rare success against a division rival and snapped a three-game losing streak against Detroit. They are just 14-34 overall against the division this season and have lost 23 of 28 to AL Central opponents.
After Sale retired the first two hitters, Cabrera lofted his next pitch just over the right-field fence.
Pena doubled in Matt Tuiasosopo with two outs in the second to extend Detroit's lead to 2-0.
Fister cruised through the first three innings, but control problems cost him a run in the fourth.
With two outs, Fister walked Adam Dunn and Paul Konerko back-to-back to load the bases. With Avisail Garcia at the plate, Fister threw his second wild pitch of the inning, allowing Beckham to score from third.
Garcia lined softly to first baseman Prince Fielder to end the threat.
Chicago scored three times in the fifth to take a 4-2 lead. After Keppinger led off with a double, Phegley, Beckham and Ramirez all delivered RBI singles. Beckham's single deflected of Fister's foot.
Detroit second baseman Omar Infante returned to the lineup and batted seventh after being on the disabled list for more than a month with sprained left ankle. To make room, the Tigers optioned infielder Hernan Perez to Triple-A Toledo before the game.
Detroit's Jose Iglesias made a sensational barehanded play to throw out Phegley with one out in the sixth. Phegley's chopper appeared to deflect off Fister, but Iglesias dove and threw to first from midair.
Notes: RHP Justin Verlander is slated to start the first game of the Tigers' doubleheader Friday against Kansas City. Leyland hasn't announced a starter for the second game, but said: ''It's someone who's not here.'' ... Detroit also announced the injury rehabilitation assignment of right-hander Octavio Dotel had been transferred from the Gulf Coast League Tigers to Class A Lakeland. ''He's doing OK and he doesn't have pain,'' Leyland said. ... Following a deal last Friday that sent OF Alex Rios to Texas for cash and INF Leury Garcia, the possibility of the White Sox trading veteran players for younger talent dominated the pregame discussion with Chicago manager Robin Ventura ''You see the way we're going: It's more younger guys than getting guys that are older,'' Ventura said. ''It would be nice to have some guys who could play multiple positions and are a little bit quicker.''... Batting practice was called off as thunderstorms moved through the area, but the game started on time under a blue sky at 7:10 CT

Dobbins, McCain drawing interest (both re-sign with texans)
Two members of the Houston Texans defense are generating buzz in the free-agent agent market.
A source said that inside linebacker Tim Dobbins has received interest from four teams while three squads have given feelers to cornerback Brice McCain. The Texans have interest in re-signing both players, the source said. Dobbins, 30, has spent the past two seasons with the Texans serving predominantly as the teams top backup at both ILB spots. Dobbins started six games last season before landing on injured reserve with an ankle injury. McCain, who served as Houstons slot cornerback, also landed on IR with a late-season foot injury. McCain, 26, has four interceptions in 56 career games with six starts. http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/s...-period-030913

House Baratheon (Complete Guide to Westeros)
this wiki
"House Baratheon" is a featurette and part of "Great Houses" section of the Complete Guide to Westeros, a special feature in the Blu-ray of Season 1 of Game of Thrones. It is narrated by Mark Addy as King Robert Baratheon.
"Ours is the Fury", are the words of the black stag of Baratheon. Robert I calls it a battle cry that echoed throughout the land in rebellion, when he seized the Iron Throne from the Mad King, Aerys Targaryen, ending a dynasty nearly three hundred years old.
House Baratheon was born in the Wars of Conquest, when Aegon the Dragon invaded Westeros. Aegon sent his commander, Orys Baratheon to take Storm's End. Argilac the Arrogant, the last of the Storm Kings, foolishly left the safety of his stronghold and met the Baratheon warlord in open battle. Argilac was soundly defeated, and Orys took his lands, holdings and daughter. Orys was said to be a half-brother of Aegon's, so Robert muses that if that were to be true a little of the "blood of the dragon" mingled with that of the stag in those days.
The seat of House Baratheon is Storm's End, a legendary keep raised in the Age of Heroes. Storm's End overlooks Shipbreaker Bay, where legend tells that Durran, the first Storm King, raised the keep with the aid of Bran the Builder of House Stark, thus forging a centuries-long connection between the Stormlands and the North.
After Aegon's conquest of the Seven Kingdoms, Baratheons remained loyal enough to the crown while Targaryen kings came and went. Robert reminds that, however, loyalty has its limits. When Aerys' vile son and heir, Prince Rhaegar, abducted Lyanna Stark, Robert's betrothed and beloved, it was time to act.
Baratheon, Stark, Jon Arryn and the Tullys raised their banners and united in rebellion against Rhaegar and his father, the Mad King. They were victorious and took the Iron Throne. Robert muses that the bit of dragon blood in his veins came in well as it made him a distant relation to the Targaryen dynasty through his distant ancestor, Orys. The truth, however, is that Robert took power. He boasts that it is him who sits on the Iron Throne and that It him who rules the Seven Kingdoms from the Red Keep.

Mrs. Vince DeMarco, a bar owner and single parent, files a complaint with a congressman demanding to know why the federal government tolerates a state law prohibiting her son from earning a law license through an apprenticeship program the way John Marshall and Abraham Lincoln did.She claimed the law in her sons state didnt make sense because seven of the fifty states permit law office apprenticeship programs that produce excellent attorneys, according to several studies. Why arent such programs available in all states and why should her son suffer the needless expense of law school simply because of where he lives? she wanted to know.Mrs. DeMarco explains her dilemma to Bill McNare, an aging journalist living in a rooming house, worried about money following a divorce and a career going nowhere under his new editors. McNare becomes intrigued with the story after learning the state of Washingtons four-year apprenticeship program costs less than $10,000 total and is taught by practicing attorneys with at least ten years of experience. If the states and the federal government are genuinely concerned about soaring student debt, why dont they encourage such cost-saving apprenticeship programs? he wonders.What McNare discovers about the higher educational system will shock, surprise and sadden many readers. *Author: Reilly, Robert *Binding Type: Paperback *Number of Pages: 176 *Publication Date: 2005/03/01 *Language: English *Dimensions: 9.00 x 6.12 x 0.46 inches |

I shot my first IPSC match yesterday and what a blast. I haven't shot a match of any kind in 15 years and need my butt kicked for not staying in the shooting sports. I want those missing 15 years back.
Anyhow, I would encourage all shooters, regardless of experience, to try an IPSC match or two. They are a heck of a lot of fun. I can't think of a more entertaining way to turn noise into money. |

Happened to notice you too are from Wyoming. I am shooting IDPA and IPSC in Dubois. I believe there is some IPSC going on in Casper too. Of course the cowboy stuff is all over the state. I wanted to try some IDPA in Northern Colorado, but I need to go clear to Denver for a safety class. For all practical purposes, shooters from the "outside" are pretty much eliminated along the front range of Colorado unless you have an IPSC classification. |

That's the exact problem we're having with IDPA or IPSC. When the safety class is being held in Denver we are unable to make it. The Owl Canyon range is only 30 min south of Cheyenne though. Cowboy shooting was the only kind of shooting close by that we could partake in other than just going to the range informal. Good thing the wife grew up on westerns though cuz she is really into it also. I'd still like to take the safety course whenever we're able and try IDPA. It sure would be nice if they offered it at the range befire a shoot. |

Zhao, Huimin and Arnold, Frances H. (1999) Directed evolution converts subtilisin E into a functional equivalent of thermitase. Protein Engineering, 12 (1). pp. 47-53. ISSN 0269-2139. http://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:ZHApeds99

We used directed evolution to convert Bacillus subtilis subtilisin E into an enzyme functionally equivalent to its thermophilic homolog thermitase from Thermoactinomyces vulgaris. Five generations of random mutagenesis, recombination and screening created subtilisin E 5-3H5, whose half-life at 83°C (3.5 min) and temperature optimum for activity (Topt, 76°C) are identical with those of thermitase. The Topt of the evolved enzyme is 17°C higher and its half-life at 65°C is >200 times that of wild-type subtilisin E. In addition, 5-3H5 is more active towards the hydrolysis of succinyl-Ala-Ala-Pro-Phe-p-nitroanilide than wild-type at all temperatures from 10 to 90°C. Thermitase differs from subtilisin E at 157 amino acid positions. However, only eight amino acid substitutions were sufficient to convert subtilisin E into an enzyme equally thermostable. The eight substitutions, which include known stabilizing mutations (N218S, N76D) and also several not previously reported, are distributed over the surface of the enzyme. Only two (N218S, N181D) are found in thermitase. Directed evolution provides a powerful tool to unveil mechanisms of thermal adaptation and is an effective and efficient approach to increasing thermostability without compromising enzyme activity.

VIDEOSSean Lowe's season of "The Bachelor" kicked off on Monday night, and the premiere was naturally filled with all of the franchise's key elements: alcohol, tears and roses.
There were also two blasts from "Bachelor" and "Bachelorette" past.
Arie Luyendyk, the runner-up of Emily Maynard's season, stopped by to give Lowe some tips for the first night.
"You're not just kissing. You're kissing with your whole body," Luyekdyk advised his pal.
The other old face was none other than Kacie B., who had her heart broken by Ben Flajnik, and apparently had a crush on Lowe from some previous "Bachelor" social event.
But we'll get to Kacie B. later.
During the limo arrivals, a number of the ladies pulled some stunts they hoped would make them memorable to Lowe.

One woman wore a bridal gown and kissed him on the lips, another attempted — and failed — a gymnastics move, and one very eager young lady pulled a tie out of her dress in reference to Fifty Shades of Grey.
Anyhow, after the arrivals, Kacie B. surprised Lowe, and he decided to give her a shot.
But some of the others weren't so lucky.
Lowe broke the "Bachelor" rulebook by giving out a number of roses throughout the night, rather than the traditional one first impression rose.
Tierra received the first one, and a number of the 24 other ladies got one as well, including Sarah, who was born with one arm.
She spoke candidly about her appearance in her one-on-one with Lowe, and he seemed very receptive to her forthright and confident nature.
So, who got the boot?
Ashley P., the Fifty Shades of Grey fan, wound up getting Fifty Shades of wasted and was sent on her merry way.
Paige, Lauren and Kelly were also kicked off.
Check out clips from the episode below!

William H. Scheide (Musical Director)
Born: January 6, 1914 - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Died: November 14, 2014 - Princeton, New Jersey, USA
Willliam H. Scheide was surrounded in his childhood by rare books; he grew up in a household passionate about music, culture, learning, and the well-being of humanity. His father played the piano, and his mother was a singer. He began piano lessons at 6, and played both the piano and the organ. A graduate of the Princeton University, Class of 1936, he received his Master of Art's degree from Columbia University in 1940. His thesis topic? What happened to Bach's music in the first century after his death. Willliam H. Scheide spent the next two years teaching at Cornell University. As he played the oboe with a group of amateur musicians who performed an all J.S. Bach repertory, and as he advanced in Bach scholarship, he was drawn to the music from the cantatas. He felt that the arias from the cantatas represented some of J.S. Bach's greatest writing for the voice, and for the flute, oboe, violin and cello. It distressed him that this music was virtually unknown, even among the music loving public. In order to bring the arias to a new audience, he founded the Bach Aria Group in 1946 and served as its director until 1980. For more than three decades, the Group enjoyed international acclaim for its concerts, broadcasts, and recordings; releases of its recordings continue to reach new generations of Americans. These humanitarian contributions through the art of music give Willliam H. Scheide a place among both the great musicians and the important patrons in the history of this nation. Willliam H. Scheide made significant contributions in many fields besides Bach Studies. He has expanded greatly the extraordinary rare book and manuscript collection begun by his grandfather and enlarged by his father, and The Scheide Library, which is now housed within Firestone Library at Princeton University, is a unique and invaluable resource for scholars, bibliophiles, musicologists, and historians from all over the civilized world. Bill's quiet, committed, and compassionate philanthropy touched the lives of millions from all walks of life and in all parts of the world. Besides Princeton University, Princeton Theological Seminary, and Westminster Choir College (to mention only three important educational institutions that have benefited greatly from his generosity), for more than five decades Willliam H. Scheide played a crucial and invaluable part in advancing the goals of The NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund. He died of natural causes at his home in Princeton, New Jersey, on November 14, 2014. He was 100.

Re: What are realistic projections for DeAndre Hopkins?
I don't think trying to compare Hopkins to other receivers drafted by other teams is a good way to go about predicting his impact. We should look at other #2 receivers we have had and compare Hopkins' talent and skill set to those receivers. The problem is that we haven't had many #2 receivers worth targeting alot to predict Hopkins' production with any accuracy.
Hopkins compares to Walter in that they are both, mostly, possession type receivers. I think Hopkins has about equal route running ability right now than what Walter was last year, but with more run after catch, pure catch strength, and explosiveness. I'd suspect that Hopkins, in the beginning of the year, will be targeted a tad more than Walter was last year and will give us more production per target. If that is the case, we probably will be seeing Hopkins' opportunities increase toward the end of the season and into the playoffs. Obviously, that is assuming we don't have injuries to Andre, our TEs, or Hopkins himself. Injuries to other weapons will only see Hopkins' targets increase.
Alot of this has to do with Hopkins' confidence and development going forward. If he takes advantage of his opportunities early on, I think the sky is the limit for him this year. If he shows Kubiak that he can produce early when given the opportunity, he could become a pretty large part of the offense. We don't have alot of weapons that would take away from his opportunities.
Long story short, Hopkins' numbers should be better than Walter last year and he should most definitely be a bigger part of the offense than any #2 receiver we have ever had.

The MMO's I personally hated like Flyff or Fiesta were also the ones I didn't spend more than a day playing. There's also infamous scam MMO's that never made it after day 1 but stole people's money anyway like "Dark and Light" and some other one I can't name.
But out of the poll I chose WOW. It introduced quest grinding and influenced a barrage of copycats that fail to achieve its fame yet glut the MMO world.
Originally posted by Axehandle Right. You know when you say no offense and then call someone ignorant and ridiculous it is actually intendedly ofending someone. It's not "an opinion". I see you managed to open up the FAQ page and read the first sentence, but you missed what follows... "Is Guild Wars an MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game)?" "Rather than labeling Guild Wars an MMORPG, we prefer to call it a CORPG (Competitive Online Role-Playing Game). Guild Warswas designed from the ground up to create the best possible competitive role-playing experience." http://www.guildwars.com/products/guildwars/features/default.php "Happiness is not a destination. It is a method of life." |
Originally posted by korent1991 Sounds like Arenanet saw a car, knew it was a car then said we will call it a giraffe. The bottom line is the game is online based features role playing and has massive multi player gameplay. Even Wikipedia calls it an mmorpg and they are never wrong. Express your opinion http://www.mmorpg.com/discussion2.cfm/thread/371172/Poll-Most-hated-MMORPG.html |
I guessed right! What do I win? I think it is obvious it would have to be WoW for this forum, in general I would pick MO.
Originally posted by Axehandle If a dev calls the game CORPG then that's what it is. I see you don't know how wikipedia works... Anyone can edit stuff in there. Someone replaced the "CORPG" genre with "MMORPG" with this explanation: "Given the fact that the phrase "CORPG" never caught on other than when used in context of ArenaNet press release/propaganda, I am replacing all reference of it with either MMORPG, Online RPG or something similar. --22.214.171.124 (talk) 06:59, 15 April 2012 (UTC)" EDIT: If they knew it was an MMORPG, don't you think it would be called an MMORPG. Or better yet, played like an mmorpg? I played the game since the release and I agree with the genre classification. Also this: "Unlike many MMOs, when players form a party and embark upon a quest in Guild Wars, they get their own private copy of the area where the quest takes place." , is the main reason why this game isn't considered an MMORPG. "Happiness is not a destination. It is a method of life." |

Originally posted by korent1991 The one thing I find interesting, though... I've read lots of people questioning whether GW1 is considered an MMO or not (including arenanet themselves in the quotes mentioned before)... but I've yet to find someone doing the same for DDO, that by general consensus seem to be considered an MMO, yet the general style is the same, persistent towns/cities where you form groups, and 100% instanced adventure areas for you and your group alone. What can men do against such reckless hate? |
Mine would have to Be, Vanguard
Originally posted by L0C0Man I've seen many, many posts on this site asserting that one game or another, generally one far less heavily instanced than Guild Wars (where from what I remember you can have at most 24 players in a PvP area, and 16 in a PvE area (8 leaving aside two two-team missions and two not-called-raids in Factions) are "not MMOs" or "not real MMos." Can't say if DDO is among them as I never played or paid much attention to that game. As for the OP question, I consider hating on a video game to be a waste of time and emotional energy, though maybe I'm just too old, heh. With a bit of effort I could probably name 10-12 online RPGs (whether "real MMOs" or not is an argument I don't want to get into) that I've played for varying lengths of time and stopped playing for one reason or another, but generally when I stop playing I prefer to walk away, uninstall the thing and stop hanging out on forums connected with it. |

Originally posted by dancingstar Tha'ts alright, it's OK to be a "quitter" in life and forums as well. But for the rest of us forum PVP is a fun recreational activity that has nothing to do with actually playing any MMORPG's really. Back to the OP, I voted for Warhammer Online as my greatest disappointment, I really (naively) thought that people who made DAOC could make a worthy successor and never saw it coming that what we would get was far more WOW than DAOC in heritage. As for anything bordering on hatred, Cryptic studios for making a bunch of poor games (IMO) and wrecking the Star Trek IP for the rest of us. It will really take a lot to convince me to play one of their titles. Arrogant, Condescending, Dismissive, Elitist, "Meany", you speak as if these are bad things? |
Can't say that I hated any of those game listed. I played all of them and each one had something to offer but in some way disappointed me which is why I'm not currently playing them. Sometimes it's not so much 'disappointment' as not providing the game systems I need to keep me happy and engauged. Other times, I hit max level, don't raid/pvp grind and just felt it was time to move on. Vanguard kind was a real disappointment to me, although it had some amazing qualities as well. I think initially at launch it failed on a technical level, but was really ambitious. Had it not failed technically, it would have been an incredible ride. But diplomacy was awesome. I loved that game system and haven't seen it in an mmo since. I loved the open world feel and the look of my avatar. Graphical style and setting were great too. One major critique I would levy though is the same as most other mmo. They put the really cool rp stuff at the end of the game. The problem is, hardcore people play to the end and not all rp people are hardcore. They should have frontloaded the game with rp elements to build community. Housing should not have been end game or really expensive. Many games do this and to my mind it is a flaw. It's yet another thing that makes me long for SWG. SWG was love/hate. A lot more love than hate though. It was the greatest mmo to date from the standpoint of just fitting me so perfectly as a gamer. But it was marred by some technical issues, bugs, and really shitty customer service. I'll never forget my frustrations with the game, it's just that the good times so far exceed those disappointments. SWTOR was a huge disappointment. Again, it's hard to say hate because that emotion is an extreme I just don't feel in my life. But i was very disapointed. The game's design is fail. The graphical style is acceptable, but character creation was horribly limited. The lack of community feeling as bolstered by its flawed technical limitations was a glaring weakness. I left because I got bugged and could no longer advance my character. After waiting for weeks they finally 'fixed' him, and then he bugged out again and my light side points no longer accumulated. I left out of frustration. It disappoints because it so horribly compares to SWG, which was a much deeper, mentally engauging game with a huge community. EQ2 and AOC initially were diappointments do to technical aspects. My rig had problems running those games at launch. Over the years as my computer became stronger and they optimized their game engines and graphics they ran better. I actually went back to AOC and I feel in many ways the game had redeemed itself in my eyes. But again, after hitting max level, I was disappointed to find they did not have the game systems/features in place that would hold my attention. All my friends also lost interest and quit for the same reason. But it was a fun ride, beautiful graphics, beautiful avatars. But so many missed opportunities, like the lack of appearance tabs, housing, variety of armor, poor crafting, etc. I could go on all morning. But who is going to read all my bla bla bla anyway. lol |
vote for WoW cause it moved the challenge from PvP to PvE ...
wow , for the fugliest graphics ever to launch in a game
I miss DAoC |
I don't really hate any MMOs, but I selected Guild Wars 2, because the end game is really lacking.
Not the greatest of thread ideas as the OP even mentions he is limited in the amount of games he can place, but I voted SWTOR. The hype was just way too much. If the hype from the people on this forum who now hate the game wasn't so brutally strong, I am sure the game wouldn't of annoyed me so much. Also, no need to specificy which guildwars, as the original wasn't an MMO (ask the developers). |

Originally posted by madazz I think the thread is fine (a little biased of me) but I agree the restrictions ever so slightly skew a few percentage points. Best case scenario would be adding all potential games as options including games like CoH and SWG that are no longer active. Express your opinion http://www.mmorpg.com/discussion2.cfm/thread/371172/Poll-Most-hated-MMORPG.html |
I haven't played half of these games. EQ1 had the worst overall design (Evercamping and forced grouping) and graphics(for its time) in my opinion. EQ2 was the worst themepark MMO on the list that I've tried. I haven't tried Rift. Aion or TERA and don't plan to. |

Re: can I afford to continue sailing
$1,300 for a slip is short money, we pay close to that for a mooring.
Be carefull, this is how it starts, next thing you know you've got no boat, no house...
Like Brent said:
"Stand your ground, and maintain some control over what is your own life. If you dont , it will eventually disolve anyway with even greater anger and resentment.-misfits
I am afraid this is shortsighted. Relationships are not about drawung lines. Every action has and equal and opposite reaction. Try and win her over.[/
Stand your ground" is not the approach I'd take. I wouldn't give in, either, but don't approach this as a confrontation- a good wife is hard to find and divorces are more expensive than dock fees. Discuss it.
You are both right. It's impossible to justify sailing from an economic standpoint. It's an expensive thing to do. However, if you spend your life worrying only about money and not enjoying what you're doing, it's wasted.
Convince her that you are mindful of what it costs and you try to economize as much as you can, but sailing is too important to you to give up and the two of you need to find a way to make it happen-mssmith10
Agree 100% Find the positives and explain they are not measurable by price. The large amount this costs in percentage to your income now, will not be the same percentage when you make more in 10 yeras, but the time and experiences you get as a FAMILY on the boat wont be able to be measured by the expense.
sailing teaches kids confidence, nature and the outside, famuily time together in simple settings as well as the actual sailing. It also helps bond you, and your wife and family together in a family activity for all ages.

Brighter students completed their courses from these institutes and went abroad to do research
Union Human Resources Development Minister Kapil Sibal on Wednesday lamented the lack of attention towards research activities by premier institutions such as the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) and the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs).
Talking to mediapersons here during his visit to Gujarat, Mr. Sibal avoided a direct answer on the controversial statement by his Cabinet colleague — Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh — on the IITs and IIMs, but said these institutions so far focused only on churning out graduates and paid little attention towards research. "When IITs were set up, majority of courses were of B. Tech.," Mr. Sibal said, adding that M. Tech. was never a priority in the initial phases.
Only churning graduates
He said most of the courses were targeted to churn out graduates. He further observed that the brighter students who wanted to go for research completed their courses from these institutes and then moved abroad to pursue their interest. He pointed out that as compared to United States and China, which allocated $250 billion and about $60 billion respectively for research, in India the allocation for research was only about $8 million. However, he expressed happiness that the number of students in post-graduate courses in theses institutes had started growing now which further opened the scope for research.
Dig at Modi regime
Mr. Sibal took a dig at the Narendra Modi government for not taking adequate steps to implement the Right to Education Act (RTE). He pointed out that though the RTE was enacted last year, the Gujarat government had not even finalised the norms for the neighbourhood schools.
"Now money is lying with us for setting up schools, employing teachers and providing all the support, but unless norms are framed, we cannot give them the money," he said, and added that it was unfair for the children of the State who were not getting what they "deserve rightfully."
Gujarat, he pointed out, also had so far not constituted the State Commission for Protection of Child Rights (SCPCR). He said that in spite of the government's tall claims of success in the "Vibrant Gujarat Industrial" summits, more than 1.62-lakh children, largely from the disadvantaged section of society, were still out of schools. The State was also lagging behind the national rate of enrolment of the girl child in schools. About 50 per cent of the schools for the girls did not have the toilet facilities for the students.

(washington d.c. )
I am looking at several schools for cdl training the first school I was looking at was Roadmaster in Columbus, Ohio it was a 3 week course 6 days a week from 7am to 6pm and the cost is $6500 for everything with job placement the only problem is that i live in Washington D.C. and I have to get there.
The second school is All-state Trucking in Baltimore, MD which is about 45 minutes from me, the course is 6 months for four days a week 5 hours a day and the cost is $9500. I am torn between these two schools.
Roadmaster because it is only a 3 week course and i am unemployed i can be driving in a month with Allstate i have to travel 45 minutes for 4 days a week for 5 hours pay tolls and gas and also live for 6 months.
I believe both schools are PTDI certified, and state accredited is there any other criteria I should using to base a decision on?
Comments for does anyone know the best truck driving school to attend for class a cdl training

Can an over-the-hill journalist uncover the evidence that can prove a death row inmate's innocence just hours before his execution? |
Editor's Note
In TRUE CRIME, based on Andrew Klavan's novel, Clint Eastwood plays Steve Everett, a capable reporter who's nearly destroyed his career with alcohol and philandering. When he's assigned to do a human interest sidebar on Frank Beechum (Isaiah Washington), who's about to be executed for murder, Everett casually looks into the crime and quickly begins to see how shaky the evidence against Beechum is. As a director, Eastwood is a confident old hand here, and before he builds up the suspense (and don't worry, he will), he takes the time to delve deep into the lives of his characters and explore the sharp contrast between the cynical Everett, who neglects his family for his job, and the circumspect Beechum, whose greatest torment is not the proximity of his own death but the trauma he's causing his loving wife and daughter. Eastwood gives a wonderfully rich performance, and his rapport with James Woods and Denis Leary, as his newspaper bosses, gives the movie a welcome comic jolt. But the scenes of Beechum's family dealing with his fate are where the movie's overwhelming power lies. Eastwood and his screenwriters pull no punches, and it's difficult to bear witness to the painful, simple truth expressed in these scenes.

The clutch may fail prematurely requiring replacement. It has been recommended by some that a high quality aftermarket replacement clutch may provide increased longevity over a clutch purchased from the dealer.
The seat belts may not properly retract due to an internal fault with the retractor mechanism. Replacement of the seat belt retractor would be required to correct this concern.

Royals present photo and jersey to musician Lorde
Well, you knew this was coming, right?
Teen music sensation Lorde was in Kansas City on Friday for a concert at the Midland. You know Lorde, right?
She won a Grammy Award for the song "Royals," which she said was was inspired by a photo of George Brett in an issue of National Geographic from the 1970s.
Lorde told VH1 earlier this year: "I had this image from the National Geographic of this dude just signing baseballs. He was a baseball player and his shirt said 'Royals.' "
Yep, the story has been told countless times now.
Anyway, that dude (Brett) signed a copy of the photo that spawned a hit, and the Royals gave that to Lorde along with a Brett jersey, which she donned for one of the pictures the Royals tweeted on Friday night.

Whether they have one employee or 1,000, California businesses are required to post employment notices in a central location and provide certain pamphlets. The poster also must include information about workers' compensation benefits, payday schedule and emergency contacts.
Employers may need to order several to ensure that their business, branches and satellite offices are displaying the poster according to the law. If any of the company's workers are Spanish-speaking, owners will need to order the Spanish version.
Keeping your business compliant with the 2012 California and Federal Employment Notices regulations couldn't be easier. Failure to comply can result in severe penalties and fines by the state of California.
Make compliance easy; preorder your posters now. The posting deadline for the NLRA notice is Jan. 31.
The California Employment Poster is produced by CalBizCentral presented by the California Chamber of Commerce, a publisher of top-quality human resource products and services with more than 100 years of experience helping California business do business.

All Rise...Judge Christopher Kulik thinks the murderer was Jessica Fletcher in Cabot Cove with the typewriter. Editor's NoteOur reviews of Murder, She Wrote: The Complete First Season (published May 11th, 2005) and Murder, She Wrote: The Complete Second Season (published January 18th, 2006) are also available. The ChargeAmerica's favorite sleuth is back in 22 more episodes! The CaseA Sunday night staple from 1984-96, Murder, She Wrote continues to hold on to a solid batch of devoted fans since its initial run. Some will be silent in their love of J.B. Fletcher, but not yours truly. Yes, I did watch the show during primetime with my parents every night after 60 Minutes…hey, it was a school night, so sue me! What new twists and surprises does The Complete Ninth Season contain? Errr, none, but that doesn't mean watching this show is as warm and filling as a cup of hot cocoa with marshmallows on top. Watch as Jessica Fletcher (Angela Lansbury, Bedknobs & Broomsticks) sniffs out the clues to 22 mysteries. Aside from spending a fair amount of time in Cabot Cove, Maine (population 3500, but for some reason has a murder once a month), Jessica also travels to Milan, L.A., Florida, and Amsterdam, of all places. Her list of suspects includes David Soul (Starsky & Hutch), Cesar Romero (Batman), Sally Kellerman (M*A*S*H), and Margot Kidder (Superman). Her time is to nab the killer in 51 minutes, or else…she could be the next victim! Thankfully, Jessica always survives, with a small shake of the head when the deadly climax is over and a smile to let us know she's alright, ready to write another novel. As someone who's spent many hours watching Murder, She Wrote, I'll be the first one to admit it's easy to make fun of this show. Does it cheat its audience? Yes…on occasion. Is it implausible? For the most part. Is Jessica's life too fantastic to be true? Well, friggin' duh! Does her tiny hamlet have more murders than one section of Pittsburgh? I truly cannot explain that. Is the show little more than a female version of Matlock or Columbo? In many ways. Does Murder, She Wrote deliver in terms of entertainment? Damn right. The formula is rehashed over and over again, there's no denying this. However, the well remained open for 12 seasons and four made-for-TV movies, so you can't say the formula never worked. In fact, the ninth season was the highest in terms of ratings, signaling Murder, She Wrote's dominance on Sunday nights. The stories had enough intrigue and drama to keep viewers glued to their seats, wondering how Jessica was going to figure everything out. Sometimes the clues were all too obvious, others were so difficult to catch that re-watching the episode twice may not help much. I was only able to guess the killer about a quarter of time, although I fared much better with who exactly was going to get knocked off. Sometimes there was the odd spice added by the writers (multiple deaths, an integration of the JFK assassination), but mostly it remained faithful to the formula. With that, I have few complaints. What makes Murder, She Wrote so addictively watchable is the class and professionalism exhibited by the one and only Ms. Lansbury. By now, she had become an executive producer, with some creative control behind the scenes, and no doubt had final approval of all scripts. When most actresses her age would be retired as mothers or grandmothers, Ms. Lansbury tirelessly worked into her 60s and 70s, creating and developing a genuinely appealing character. She's also aided by some fine recurring co-stars who also lived in Cabot Cove, including Sheriff Metzger (Ron Mazak, Harper Valley P.T.A.) and Dr. Hazlitt (William Windom, Sommersby). Universal's DVD treatment of the ninth season is pretty much on par with their previous releases. The full frame prints are clean, with sharp colors and details, although scratches and grain are occasional. All of the episodes are presented uncut, with the original title sequences and end credits. The DD 2.0 mono tracks are excellent and serve the show well, with dialogue easily heard in every scene. Optional English subtitles are provided. As far as extras…there are unfortunately none once again. You would think after nine releases Universal would have given us a featurette or Lansbury interview at least, but no dice. The VerdictNot guilty! Give us your feedback!Did we give Murder, She Wrote: The Complete Ninth Season a fair trial? yes / no Other Reviews You Might Enjoy

Thinking about upgrading my account, any thoughts or suggestions? I actually think I would go more to one of the "business" plans vs. the "talent" plans, what do some of you have? Or just stay with the basic, free account?
I've had the free account, the business (20.00 per month) account and the pro (400.00 per month) account. unless you can REALLY justify the need for 50 inmails per month, which is the biggest benefit, i'd upgrade to the business account.
Thanks, I appreciate your guys' input! I'm going to try the basic business account, it seemed like what I need.
I did the full business, but then again it's my primary sourcing tool at this point. If I was paying for other services, I probably wouldn't. I find more value from the job slot than I do the inMails. I also really like the tracking function in there. It is nice to see the notes I've made on a profile and stuff like that. I can also remind myself to contact people later in the year. Either way, it has paid for itself already this year.
Thanks, Melissa. I'll be talking to someone from LI tomorrow, I think I am going to go with a Business account vs. Talent. I appreciate the input!
Amber, thanks for this post. Can you update us on your thoughts on the differences between the free and the business account?

Valvi, Aikaterini C. and Fragkos, K.C. and Frangos, C.C. (2012) The International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and Financial Stability: The Case of Russian and East Asian Financial Crises. Journal of Economics Studies and Research , ISSN 2165-9966.
Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)Abstract
The role of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank (WB) in providing financial stability to countries with financial problems has received conflicting views from different social and political groups. The purpose of this paper is to examine whether these two international organizations provide financial stability by focusing on the case of the Russian and East Asian financial crises. After a comprehensive analysis (graphs, tables and statistical regression models), the researchers found that the support of both the IMF and the WB was mostly without success in these two crises; thus promoting financial instability. This finding comes from both a descriptive analysis of financial stability in terms of unemployment, inflation and changes in GDP and GDP per capita and quantitative calculations by performing multiple linear regressions in PASW 18.0 with certain indicators [GDP Annual growth rate, Interest rate spread (lending rate minus deposit rate, %), Inflation, GDP deflator (annual %), Annual industrial value and GINI Index]. The intervention of these international organizations appears to have been followed by unemployment and inflation rises, as a result of their financial policies. These results provide important incentives for international policy changes in dealing with financial crises, emphasizing the importance for less destabilizing practices.

Ludden: Highly respected biochemist
05 June 2002
"I am very excited to be joining the College of Natural Resources at UC Berkeley," says Paul Ludden of his new job as dean. "The broad range of expertise here — from plant genomics to forest ecology to agricultural economics — is impressive," he says. "The college is extremely well-poised to address the wide spectrum of today's important questions surrounding the management of our natural resources." A highly respected biochemist, Ludden, 51, has served the past three years as executive associate dean of the University of Wisconsin–Madison's College of Agricultural and Life Sciences. A native Mid-Westerner, he is known for his expertise in microbial and plant biochemistry, and his studies of the role of enzymes in biological nitrogen fixation — work that helps lay the groundwork for advances in the development of non-polluting nutrients. Chancellor Berdahl called Ludden "exceptionally well poised to create a compelling vision for the College of Natural Resources." The new dean, he added, "…brings a very, very strong scientific reputation to the job, bringing his considerable expertise in the biological sciences to the arenas of natural resources and environmental sciences." Ludden will replace Richard Malkin, who has been serving a two-year post as interim dean of the college. |
