Top children's-music acts like the folksy Astrograss (July 3), kindie stars Rolie Polie Guacamolie (July 10) and the old–timey Deedle Deedle Dees (July 24) play every Wednesday morning. Additional names include Suzi Shelton (July 17) playing poppy, girl–power tunes like "Tomboy in a Princess Dress", Karen K and the Jitterbugs (July 31) and Vered Music (Aug 7) whose songs are designed to assist healthy growth in babies. There's ample stroller parking, but you'll want to bring a blanket to sit on. Ages 0 to 8.

I've just gone through some pain with iphone and xcode upgrades and keychain failures etc and decided to uninstall xcode completely and re-install. This fixed my keychain issues however the project I am working on appears to be linked to an old invalid provisioning profile.
I've deleted the profile from "Provisioning Profiles" in organiser, and removed it from Provisioning on the Iphone section of Organiser. However when I build an go with the iphone sdk rather than simulator i get the pop up "codesign wants to sign using key "OldKey" in your keychain".
It appears the actual app is associated with the old key and I can't seem to find how to point it to the new valid one.
Crazy thing is at some point I managed to get it to work and install but the application crashed and won't open. I've not managed to get it to install again.
Any ideas?

KDP Select FAQ
KDP Select is an optional program for you to reach even more readers and gives you the opportunity to earn more money. If you choose to make a book exclusive to the Kindle Store, which is a requirement during your book's enrollment in KDP Select, the book will also be included in Kindle Unlimited and the Kindle Owners' Lending Library (KOLL). You can earn a share of the KDP Select Global Fund based on how frequently Kindle Unlimited customers choose your book and read more than 10% of it, or KOLL customers download it (learn how payments are calculated). Currently, Kindle Unlimited is available to customers in Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.de, Amazon.es, Amazon.fr, Amazon.it, Amazon.mx, Amazon.ca, and Amazon.com.br. The Kindle Owners' Lending Library is available for readers in the following marketplaces: Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.de, Amazon.fr, and Amazon.co.jp. In addition, by choosing KDP Select, you will have access to a new set of promotional tools, including Kindle Countdown Deals (limited time promotional discounting for your book) and Free Book Promotion (readers worldwide can get your book free for a limited time). Authors and publishers can enroll a single title, their whole catalog or anything in between within KDP Select. By enrolling your book in KDP Select, you will also be eligible to earn 70% royalty for sales to customers in Brazil, Japan, India, and Mexico.
What is Kindle Unlimited?
Kindle Unlimited is a subscription service that lets customers read as many books as they like, and keep them as long as they want. Any customer can choose whether to subscribe to Kindle Unlimited. They don't have to be Amazon Prime members, but they do need to pay a subscription fee.
What is the Kindle Owners' Lending Library?
With an Amazon Prime membership, Kindle owners can choose from thousands of books to read for free once a month, with no due dates. For more info, click here.
Why should I choose KDP Select?
1. Earn higher royalties – Earn your share of the KDP Select Global Fund when readers read your books from Kindle Unlimited and the Kindle Owners' Lending Library. The fund amount is variable and announced on a monthly basis. We constantly monitor all factors that impact the KDP Select fund in order to set the fund amount for our KDP Select authors. You can also earn 70% royalty for sales to customers in Japan, India, Brazil, and Mexico.
2. Maximize your book's sales potential – Choose from two promotional tools: Kindle Countdown Deals, time-bound promotional discounts for your book, available on Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk, while earning royalties; or Free Book Promotion, where readers can get your book free for a limited time.
3. Reach a new audience – Help readers discover your books by making them available through Kindle Unlimited and the Kindle Owners' Lending Library and reach the growing number of Amazon Prime customers in the U.S., U.K., Germany, France, Mexico, Canada, and Japan.
If my books are distributed in Kindle Unlimited and the Kindle Owners' Lending Library, can customers still buy it?
Yes, your books will still be available for anyone to buy in the Kindle Store, like they've always been, and you will continue to earn royalties from those sales like you do today.
If my book is enrolled in KDP Select, can I still send copies of my book to proofreading and editing reviewers?
We do allow publishers to provide professional reviewers with a copy of the book by email for the purpose of editing, proofreading and helping with other quality improvements.
What does it mean to publish exclusively on Kindle?
When you choose KDP Select for a book, you're committing to make the digital format of that book available exclusively through KDP during the entirety of its enrollment in the program.
All content made exclusive to Amazon in KDP Select must remain for sale on our site only; it cannot be available for free or for purchase in digital format anywhere else, including publishing the content of your book on the web, including on your own website, blog, etc. However, you may choose to make up to 10% of your book available on other sites as a sample, as well as continue to distribute your book in physical format, or in any format other than digital. See the KDP Select Terms and Conditions for more information.
If my book appears to be available for sale or distribution on another website, is it eligible for KDP Select?
No. If your book is marketed in a way that indicates it is available for distribution, for sale or for free, then it is not eligible for KDP Select. For example, one of the possible indicators that the book is available for distribution may be the presence of instructions on another website or sales channel for downloading or obtaining the book.
Can I re-enroll my book in KDP Select if it was removed previously due to violation of the exclusivity requirements?
Yes, you can. Once you ensure that your book is not available elsewhere in digital format, it is eligible for re-enrollment.
I gave a third party the right to distribute my book through other websites, and my book continues to be available through that third party on another website. Can I enroll it in KDP Select?
No. If you gave a third party the right to distribute your book and it is available through that third party on another website, you cannot enroll it in KDP Select.
What kinds of books are eligible to enroll in KDP Select?
Check the eligibility information.
Where can I see the terms and conditions of KDP Select?
Click to see KDP Select Terms and Conditions.
Are there any other opportunities for KDP Select books and authors to be promoted?
Yes, KDP may publicly announce the top digital books read through the program, including the author, publisher, number of times customers read them, and KDP Select fund royalties earned.
How do I earn 70% royalty for sales to customers in Brazil, Japan, India, and Mexico?
Your title must be enrolled in KDP Select and meet list price requirements in order to be eligible to earn 70% royalty for sales to customers in Brazil, Japan, India, and Mexico. If your book is not enrolled in KDP Select or does not meet list price requirements, you will earn 35% royalty.
What books are eligible to be enrolled in KDP Select? Are any authors or publishers excluded?
Most books can be enrolled in KDP Select. The only books that cannot be enrolled are those for which you do not have exclusive rights for the primary content of the book (i.e., this content is in the public domain or others may also have the right to publish this content). Other factors, including royalty option, price, genre, etc., do not impact a book's eligibility. If you have questions about your book's exclusion from KDP Select, please write to KDP Support by clicking "Contact Us" at the bottom of the page.
All authors and publishers, regardless of where they live, are eligible to enroll their books in KDP Select. Books with rights to be sold in marketplaces where the Kindle Owners' Lending Library is available will automatically be included in the relevant libraries upon enrollment.
Can I add some new content (e.g. bonus chapter, author's commentary, etc.) to a book that I offer on another platform to make my book exclusive and eligible for KDP Select?
No. You can't enroll your book in KDP Select by simply adding a bonus chapter, author's commentary section, etc. to a book that is available elsewhere. See the KDP Select Terms and Conditions for more details.
Do I have to enroll all my titles in KDP Select? Is there a limitation on the number of titles to enroll?
No. KDP Select is an optional program. If you choose to take advantage of KDP Select, you can enroll a single title, your whole catalog, or anything in between. Titles that are not enrolled in KDP Select do not have to be exclusive to Kindle.
How do I enroll my titles in KDP Select? When does enrollment become effective?
There are two ways to sign up:
a) You can enroll existing titles from the Bookshelf by clicking on the ellipsis button ("...") under the Book Actions menu next to the book you want to enroll. Select "Enroll in KDP Select." From there, check the box "Enroll this book in KDP Select" and continue publishing your book.
b) You can enroll new titles from the book details page. Simply check the box "Enroll this book in KDP Select" and continue publishing your book.
Enrollment is effective immediately for titles already live in the Kindle Store. Enrollment for new titles goes into effect once the book is available for sale on our website.
Can I enroll my book in KDP Select without participating in Kindle Unlimited and the Kindle Owners' Lending Library or vice-versa?
No. Only books enrolled in KDP Select are eligible to be included in Kindle Unlimited and the Kindle Owners' Lending Library. All KDP Select-enrolled books with the necessary rights for the territories included will be automatically included in Kindle Unlimited and the Kindle Owners' Lending Library.
For those books enrolled in KDP Select, can I change the metadata (e.g. Royalty option, book description, etc.)?
Yes, you can change all of the metadata of a KDP Select-enrolled book. From example, KDP Select is available for books in both the 70% and 35% royalty options. You can switch a KDP Select-enrolled book's royalty option without impacting its enrollment in KDP Select.
Can I un-publish my KDP Select-enrolled titles and re-publish them on KDP later?
Tell me more about un-publishing my titles that are enrolled in KDP Select?
You can un-publish your KDP Select-enrolled titles at any time during the term. However, keep in mind that your commitment to the KDP Select terms and conditions, including exclusivity, will continue even after you have un-published your title. In other words, you cannot un-publish your KDP Select-enrolled title from KDP and make it available on another sales channel before the title's current KDP Select term expires.
Renewal and Cancellation
How do I renew my book's enrollment in KDP Select? What if I don't want to renew?
For your convenience, every KDP Select-enrolled title will be automatically renewed for another 90 days unless you opt not to automatically renew.
If you don't want to renew, simply go to the book's "Edit book details" page and uncheck the box next to "Automatically renew this book's enrollment in KDP Select for another 90 days." You can do this at any time. Cancelling automatic renewal does not affect the book's enrollment in KDP Select for the current term.
How do I cancel my book's enrollment from KDP Select?
Once your book's term in KDP Select begins, you will have 3 days to cancel. To do so, simply go to the book's "Enrollment Details" and uncheck "Keep this book enrolled in KDP Select" box. This option will be available during the first 3 days of each 90-day period during which your book is enrolled. Note that once you begin using your free promotion days, the cancellation period will end.
What happens if my book's KDP Select enrollment expires?
Within several hours after the enrollment has expired, your book will be removed from Kindle Owners' Lending Library (KOLL). You will earn a share of the monthly fund for any time customers read your book in KOLL after the expiration date. Any unused Kindle Countdown Deals option or free promo days will go away. You will begin to earn 35% royalty for sales to customers in Brazil, Japan, India, and Mexico. You can always re-enroll your book in KDP Select books after an enrollment term expires.
What happens if my book's KDP Select enrollment gets renewed?
You will continue to receive your share of the current month's fund based on how often Kindle Unlimited customers select and read more than 10% of your book, or KOLL customers download it. In addition, for each new term, you will receive the ability to run Kindle Countdown Deals or 5 days of free promotion for your book. You will continue to earn 70% royalty for sales to customers in Brazil, Japan, India, and Mexico as long as the 70% list price requirements are also met. A promotion (Kindle Countdown Deals or Free Book Promotion) can be scheduled on the day enrollment is renewed. Note that any unused Kindle Countdown Deals option or free promotion days will not roll over.
What data will I see in my reports?
If enrolled in KDP Select, you will have the following additional data on your reports:
a) Month-To-Date Unit Sales Report: The number of times customers selected and read more than 10% of your books through Kindle Unlimited, or downloaded it through the Kindle Owners' Lending Library (KOLL) under column "KU/KOLL Units".
b) Prior Months' Royalties Report: For every title, there are five possible transaction types:
i) 35% denotes how much a title earned under the 35% royalty option.
ii) 70% denotes how much a title earned under the 70% royalty option.
iii) "KDP Select Units" denotes how much every KDP Select-enrolled title earned monthly through Kindle Unlimited and the Kindle Owners' Lending Library. If your title was selected at least once, you will see a separate line item indicating the number of times it was selected under the column "Net Units Sold or KU/KOLL Units," your title's share of overall customer activity under the column "Percentage of KU/KOLL Units," and the royalty earned through Kindle Unlimited and KOLL under the "Royalty" column.
iv) Free - Promotion: Free downloads due to Free promotion campaign(s) through KDP Select.
v) Free - Price Match: Free downloads due to competitor free price match.

Don't let your feelings of inadequacy and irrelevance get the better of you. You could do better, well....... maybe not, but at least make it obvious that you are trying.

he was british and he killed more people he could eat maybe the dead do not speak, we want your food do they shouted, crazy people.
If selected for publication, it will appear as soon as possible on Haaretz.com.
The leader of a far-right British political party recently said he was disgusted by the way non-Jewish liberals exploit the Holocaust "to use as a moral club" to prevent a reasonable discussion about immigration.
Nick Griffin, the leader of the British National Party, accused a radio host of attempting to link him with Holocaust denial in the public mind, Britain's Telegraph reported Wednesday.
"I've expressed in very strong terms dismay and disgust at the way gentile liberals and lefties, such as yourself, exploit things which happened many decades ago to use as a moral club to prevent a proper sensible discussion about immigration now, which is what you are doing again," Griffin told BBC Radio 4 host Justin Webb. "What you are trying to do is set the British public as Pavlovian dogs so when they hear Nick Griffin they think the Holocaust. It's a wicked disgrace."
Griffin admits to having called the Holocaust "utter nonsense" and has written for magazines that describe the Holocaust as a hoax. He was convicted of incitement to racial hatred and given a two-year suspended prison sentence in 1997.
Visa restrictions in the U.K. were lifted for Bulgarian and Romanian citizens in January, giving them the same right to work in the U.K. as other citizens of the European Union and sparking heated debate over immigration.
The number of Bulgarian and Romanian workers in the U.K. in the first three months of the year – 140,000 – was down by 4,000 compared to the final quarter of 2013 but up by 29,000 compared with the same period last year, the BBC reported.

Tube Top comfortably abstracts the classic, domestic lamp silhouette to suit any style of interior. As designer Peter Stathis remarks, "Pablo is well known for their rigorously minimal products, and my goal was to augment that range by introducing a new light that applies a modern sensibility to a traditional lamp type." Playing with that traditional form, Tube Top combines a transparent, sculpted acrylic base to support its lightweight mesh shade in tension, allowing the shade to appear to float freely. Tube Top is available in multiple table, floor and pendant models.

ETA of any new kdf ship?

there is a very important thing to remember about the disparity of KDF to fed in the ships department and its all about design philosophy.
Klingon StarShip Design differs especially in one area from the design strategy the Federation uses. The Federation designs a totally new class for each (little) advancement and thus each new ship has its own teething troubles.
Klingons upgrade their ships step by step - replacing only the new designed machines and parts and keeping the trusted reliable rest. A better warp core? Okay, then the new core is fitted into the proven ship. Why discard the tested and trusted - only because it has served some years faithfully? Because of this philosophy there are "only" a few classes of Klingon starships

Special Correspondent
"His honesty, hard work laid foundation for Tamil film industry"
CHENNAI: Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi said on Sunday that A.V. Meiyappan symbolised the virtues of honesty, hard work and perseverance that laid the foundation for the growth of the Tamil film industry.
He paid tributes to Meiyappan at a function where he unveiled the bust of the doyen of the film industry, laid the foundation stone for the new building complex of the South Indian Film Chamber of Commerce, and inaugurated the office of the Tamil Film Producers' Association.
Describing AVM as a perfectionist, Mr. Karunanidhi said he had showered affection on him and others too.
Though AVM was initially not satisfied with the performance of the late Sivaji Ganesan in `Parasakthi,' he commended the actor on the completion of the movie.
Referring to the bond of affection between the Dravidian movement and AVM, he said Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam activists were jubilant when they came to know that their leader C.N. Annadurai was paid Rs.10,000 for completing the script of `Oriravu' in a night.
Long association
Recalling his long association with the film world, Mr. Karunanidhi said it would continue irrespective of whether he was showered with appreciation or criticism.
The SIFCC submitted a memorandum to Mr. Karunanidhi seeking tax exemption for old movies, limitation of the number of prints to be submitted by producers for subsidy, hiking the subsidy amount from Rs.7 lakh to Rs.10 lakh, revival of the film city and action against video piracy.
Information Minister Parithi Ilamvazhuthi presided over the meeting.
MGR Kazhagam leader R.M. Veerappan and film personalities K. Balachander, Kamal Hassan, A.V.M. Saravanan, D.V.S. Raju and K.P. Kottarakkara addressed the meeting.

Watch as we test the latest generation of streetfighter motorcycles in Motorcycle-USA's
2010 Streetfighter Shootout IV Video
Despite being the most-dated machine of the bunch, it's hard to tell based on the cutting-edge visual appearance of the Super Duke. In this day and age of meteorically-fast new model development cycles, a four-year-old design typically equates for a bike that looks as outdated now as those skull-and-crossbone T-shirts you wore back when you bought it. Unlike your T-Shirts, however, the exterior design of the
has somehow managed to transcend time, still looking every bit as modern as its much newer competition.
"The KTM it looks like a bike you'd see in a Terminator movie," says Editorial Director Ken Hutchison. "Even though the bike is a few years old now it still looks cutting edge. When you pull up at a stoplight people still stare at you and wonder what the heck that is you're riding."
Slip into the seat and it is immediately apparent just how comfortable it is. The seat is both wide and thick and proved to be the most comfortable for extended riding. Although the height of the seat is the tallest in this group (33.5 in.) it will only be problematic for vertically-challenged pilots.
(Above) The KTM 990 Super Duke rolls on Pirelli Diablo Corsa III tires. (Below) A mixed digital/analog display provides information on the 990 Super Duke.
Reach out to the handlebar and your fingers are greeted by an aluminum bar that is well proportioned in terms of both height and bend. It feels similar to the Z1000, however it is slightly wider, which helps give the rider greater leverage when steering. A small orange-backlit instrument display houses an analog-style tachometer with an LCD display that houses information like speed and coolant temperature. The display works adequately but is on the small side, making it harder to read when you're speed increases.
The position of the foot controls correlate well with the rest of the cockpit and give the KTM the distinction of being the most comfortable bike on which to pile up the odometer numbers. However, its everyday practicality comes at the price of reduced pavement clearance at the racetrack, its footpegs kissing asphalt much sooner than either of the other two machines.
On the road the KTM feels like it carries its weight much lower than the Ducati and in about the same spot as the Kawi. Steer into the corner and it turns in lazily even with the added leverage of the handlebar. While it doesn't maneuver as fast as the Z1000, it does change direction comparable to the Ducati despite weighing 18 pounds more (445 pounds versus 427 pounds). In transitions the Super Duke gets to full-lean in a predictable manner, though the chassis doesn't feel nearly as planted nor does it give the kind of feedback at max lean that the race-bred Duc is capable of.
Its WP suspension has versatile damping capabilities and offers a nice balance between real-world life on the road and weekend duties at the track. It delivers a much more forgiving ride as compared to the Duc and similar in feel to the Zed-1. Also noteworthy is how easy it is to adjust the rebound setting on the fork with its clever tool-less adjusters. The OE Pirelli Diablo Corsa III tires complement the chassis well and felt superior in terms of outright grip compared to the Dunlops which come standard on the Z.
In our braking performance test the Super Duke achieved a stopping distance of 131 feet. While it was the longest measured distance, the brakes still worked well, offering an adequate mount of fade-free feedback through steel-braided brake lines. However, its lower-spec braking components just can't deliver the same stopping power as the Duc's.
Twist the throttle and you can tell the 75-degree V-Twin, fueling system and throttle are well synchronized, which makes engine power easy to control. Right off idle the engine chugs through its 9800 rpm range with enough snap to raise the front wheel in first or second gear, although it may not happen as psychotically-quick as some of the hooligan-bike crowd may be after; the KTM simply has far less gusto than its faster-revving Italian counterpart.
Mid-range engine performance is on par with the other bikes, the Super Duke pumping out almost 70 lb-ft of torque at a 7400 rpm peak. Top-end engine, however, is noticeably lacking in comparison. The KTM only produces 112 ponies at 9600 rpm – 10 horsepower down on the Kawasaki and a whopping 27 less than the Streetfighter. This means that for optimum acceleration its best to up-shift early and make sure the tach needle is always hovering in the neighborhood of 8-grand.
(Abover) At lean the KTM isn't quite as stable as the racebred Ducati.(Below) The KTM 990 Super Duke provides its best power at low to mid rpm.
The overall character of the engine feels far more refined then the Streetfighter. Where the Ducati is shaking and belting out its obnoxious (to some, melody to others) exhaust note, the KTM generally feels much more refined. Of course, it still gets rowdy as you increase revs, all the bikes in this test do if the right grip is twisted far enough, something which is evident by the results of our sound-decibel test where it registered a 94 dB at 4900 rpm (half of max engine speed). That said it doesn't come close to the levels produced by the powerplant in the far-more-uncivilized red machine (a good thing to some and not so good to others).
In terms of comfort, there is a mildly-annoying small amount of engine vibration in the lower rev range, though it isn't nearly as excessive as that produced by the Streetfighter. As rpms climb vibration actually decreases, which makes the Super Duke a worthy ally for the daily commute to work. Additionally, the well-positioned mirrors deliver a clear view of what's happening behind, not distorting at higher freeway speeds or rattling from vibration when cruising around town.
"The KTM's engine works well on the street. It's smooth and manageable and delivers decent get-up-and-go as long as you short-shift it," noted Hutch. "It sure does sound cool when you rev it out but it doesn't feel like you're really going anywhere. The key to riding the KTM on the track is keeping your momentum up and shifting early as well – it's just plain not a bike that likes to be revved."
Similar to the Ducati, the Super Duke employs a hydraulically-actuated clutch, six-speed transmission and chain final drive. Not only is the KTM's clutch easier to use, it also delivers substantially more feel than the vague unit employed by the Streetfighter. The internal drivetrain is complemented by shorter, more street-oriented final-drive gearing, aimed to maximize the engine's power output under acceleration. Overall the gearbox worked well, with positive engagement between gears and ample feedback from both the hand and foot controls, though ultimately it's not quite as slick as the Kawi's set-up.
The KTM 990 Super Duke runs out of ground clearance at extreme lean angles.
Despite being down on power, in our 0-to-60 mph acceleration test the KTM actually bested the Kawasaki with a time of 3.73 seconds, proving how potent its combination of low-end torque and lighter weight can be as compared to the much porkier Z1000. In terms of quarter-mile numbers, however, the Kawasaki's enhanced top-end engine performance was simply too robust for the KTM to match, as its quickest pass of 11.28 seconds at a trap speed of 121.42 mph relegated the Austrian machine to the back of the pack.
However, its slightly subdued engine performance pays dividends at the fuel pump. The big Duke provided the longest range of 182 miles based on the capacity of its generous 4.8-gallon fuel tank (biggest in this comparo). We recorded 38 mpg average over the course of our test.
When the score sheets were gathered and the points tallied, KTM's Super Duke ended up third in this highly-competitive trio. While it scored highly in terms of overall comfort, fuel efficiency and cost, it simply doesn't serve up the kind of adrenaline-producing performance needed to challenge for a win this time around.

"The key to riding the KTM on the track is keeping your momentum up and shifting early as well"? Hutch does not know how to read a dyno graph. The power clearly peaks right at redline for this bike so short-shifting would not be the fastest way to go.

Is there a simple solution to this problem?
Yes, I can call IT and maybe get it resolved in two or three days. It may take much longer since it is an intermittent issue.
Thank you

Scores of people feared dead in Indonesia's tsunami disaster zone were found alive on Saturday as rescue workers spread out to remote island communities five days after the killer wave.
On the tsunami-hit Mentawai island chain off the coast of Sumatra, rescue workers battling rough seas and monsoon rain found 135 people hiding on high ground, too scared of another wave to return to their shattered villages.
Officials had held little hope of finding many of the missing after flights over the area earlier in the week revealed dozens of unclaimed bodies strewn across beaches and wedged in rubble.
The number of missing was almost halved from 298 to 163 following Saturday's discovery, while the death count remained at 413, according to an official tally.

That frees you up to focus on the things sport-touring buyers say they want... like a lighter chassis and touring-friendly accessories. I've never heard anyone say they can't find a sport-tourer with enough power nowadays.
They could do for sport-touring bikes what Bimota does for sportbikes. Lighten them up, use exotic materials, radical new looks, etc.

- they felt that getting their engines from someone like Suzuki or Rotax would make them a 'me too' player rather than a provider of an innovative and highly distinctive solution - an important consideration given the price point they seek for their product.
- they wanted to trade on 'all American' sentiment and felt that using Suzuki or Rotax engines would compromise them just a bit too much in this respect.
- maybe they just have some sort of prior connection to Katech?
Maybe they saw the writing on the wall for Buell a few years ago?
Cool concept, I hope they are sucessful.

Players On The Rise
Bryce Harper has become everything everyone projected he would be this season, and with that came Diamond tier status in Diamond Dynasty this week. I am not shocked it happened, but I am a little shocked it happened already. He deserves the rating, but he's been getting ratings boosts almost every week so I was not sure if he would get another big one so soon -- but he did. With his upgrade, Harper's no longer needed for the Nationals Collection anymore.
Other big winners this week come from the Braves as Shelby Miller and Freddie Freeman both went Gold. A couple other players who seemed a bit overdue for ratings boost also got an uptick this week in Todd Frazier, Ryan Braun, Freddy Galvis, Jimmy Paredes, Brandon Crawford and Lucas Duda.
The biggest winner this week was Vidal Nuno who was a plus-seven week over week in Overall rating. And the final note is Dee Gordon going up plus-three means he's no longer needed for the Marlins Collection. Therefore, the Marlins are now one of the easier Collections to finish.
Tier Changes
- Ubaldo Jimenez went from Bronze to Silver
- Miguel Gonzalez went from Bronze to Silver
- Nate Karns went from Common to Bronze
- Brandon Guyer went from Common to Bronze
- Russell Martin went from Silver to Gold
- Jason Kipnis went from Silver to Gold
- J.D. Martinez went from Bronze to Silver

With the NBA Draft Lottery behind us, it is time to let the mock drafts begin. This time of year is the favorite for NBA analysts and scouts, as they get to give their two cents on who should go where when draft day rolls around. There are sure to be hours of speculation on what players should be drafted in reality, but what about the 2015 draft in NBA 2K15? Here are my top five would-be picks in the video game world.

We may or may not get a roster update tomorrow as it's Memorial Day weekend in the States. But whether the update comes Monday or Tuesday, it's time to predict who may be on the rise in the next roster update.
I'll be breaking the predictions into tiers based on my own confidence level.
Ratings Boost Probability: High
Jason Kipnis - He got a plus-one boost last week, but he's done nothing but continue to hit.
Ryan Braun - He was stripped of Gold status earlier in the year, but not many players have hit the ball better than Braun the past month.
Kris Bryant - Bryant got a plus-two boost last week, but I still feel confident projecting him to get another upgrade.
Prince Fielder - Fielder is back and healthy and he's been annihilating the ball as of late.
Brandon Crawford - This is probably a little overdue as Crawford is hitting .350 the last month.
Dexter Fowler - Fowler just has a good mix of power and speed going this year.
Brandon Belt - Belt is crushing the ball in May, and it seems maybe he's putting it together.
Shelby Miller - Miller had the near no-hitter and has just been really good. Based on his price in the marketplace, most others think he's getting a boost as well.
A.J. Burnett - Burnett is another one people in the marketplace are already expecting to get a ratings boost. It's fair at this point, his numbers are silly.
Jason Hammel - Hammel has just been really good this year, and even better over the past month.
Mike Bolsinger - Bolsinger is rolling. He's 27 and not a hot-shot prospect, but I would still be a little surprised if he doesn't get a boost.
James Paxton - Paxton is having just a solid year. This is maybe the one I feel least confident about in this category, but he still seems like a solid candidate for a boost.
After the jump, I'll post my more speculative ratings boost predictions.

It's no secret that NBA 2K is quite popular with actual NBA stars. Might as well add Hassan Whiteside to the list.
Whiteside recently said in an interview that he lives by the motto "give myself the ball" when it comes toppling Take-Two Interactive's NBA video game. He just can't dunk.

Take this for what you will:
The Gospel Herald is reporting that NBA 2K16 will be released on October 27 of this year.
It's interesting to note that Take-Two would push back from the regular release date of early October to be more in line with the NBA's actual season. We're seeing this a lot more now, especially with Madden being the trend setter a couple of years ago.
But the most glaring note, WWE 2K16 releases on October 27 as well. Maybe we will see combo pack of NBA and WWE 2K16 at release. It wouldn't be a bad business move to try and bring both franchise fan bases together by offering two brand new games for $99.
Also, GameStop has NBA 2K16 up on their website, along with a small paragraph detailing the next iteration in the award-winning sports video game:
But what piques my interest is the smoother movements and realistic articulations mentioned. NBA 2K15 runs at 60 FPS, so there may be a game-changing technological development coming our way this October.

A lot of 2K fans out there were probably just happy to get everybody back and healthy in the end-of-year NBA 2K15 roster update, but Jeremy Lin is not too psyched his ratings dipped from 78 at the start of the season to a 75 overall at the end of the year.
"This game is rigged," said Jeremy Lin in the accompanying YouTube video on his friend AJ Rafael's YouTube channel.
Once he got past looking at the grades and looked at the ratings by the numbers, he softened his stance a bit. Still, Jeremy Lin was left in shock when his Strength rating was revealed to be a 35.
After showing the camera his bicep, he recovered long enough to be in agreement with his high quickness and speed ratings. But at the end of the day, it's another athlete not in love with his video game ratings.
Lin's scoring efficiency did dip a bit this season, but between Byron Scott shying away from three-pointers and the Lakers not having the same type of floor spacing as the Rockets, that's not a real surprise. His defense continued to be underrated, and overall while some will call his season in LA a disappointment, I think Lin showed he will have no problem continuing to be a solid contributor in the NBA.
In the meantime, he's put his fans to work by telling them to tell the NBA 2K development team to boost his ratings.

The folks at Sony San Diego have released two new Diamond Dynasty card packs for the weekend. They are the Ballers Pack and Prime Time Pack.
Details about what can be found in each pack below:
As of now, the servers are still a little spotty due to some server maintenance that has run a bit long (originally was supposed to last from 3-5 a.m. PST).
Once the servers have returned to normal, Sony has promised to pass along the change notes. If you can't wait to buy some packs or use the marketplace, The Show Nation website seems to be working just fine.

F1 2015 will release on July 21, 2015 on Xbox One, PS4 and Steam.
UPDATE: Codemasters sent updated info, the release date is now set for July 21, 2015.

NASCAR '15 is out today. So if you are looking to look at Jeff Gordon's beautiful virtual face one last time before he retires, this is your ticket (until he's probably a legend in future versions of the game).
The game is out now on Steam and can be downloaded for $19.99. It is not out yet on the Xbox 360 or PS3 marketplaces, but there were rumors it may be a digital download weeks back so we will update this post if it shows up in those stores.
If you have picked up the game, feel free to post any impressions below.

Cast your vote on our online poll: Go to utsandiego.com/dow13k to indicate your answer to this week's question.
Last week's poll results: As gas prices go up, will economy go down? Yes: 556 (86%) No: 92 (14%). Panelists: 4 yes, 4 no.
NO: The stock market does not have a major influence on the economy's growth and sustainability in the short run; nor does breaching a specific index level influence the performance of the economy. The Dow primarily measures equity strength, whereas the broader economy — in the short run — is more influenced by a combination of growth in jobs, real income, and consumption. However, the performance of the Dow does influence long-run economic growth by encouraging and providing more saving and investment, resulting in higher productivity — essential for raising and sustaining economic growth.
NO: The presumed bull market of the past three years is simply "bull" in reality. Apparent gains are an illusion of nominal value, but in fact are losses when adjusted for inflation. In other words, inflation has wiped out any seeming gain of asset or income value. The market's "gain" largely resulted from a constant flood of monetary stimulus in all the various forms extended. The erosion of purchasing power of dollar in "real" terms has occurred to such an extent that investors actually lost about 10 percent of real value over the past three years, using gold as the adjustment factor.
NO: The stock market in the past has been a leading indicator, but that leading quality has weakened in recent years. Stock prices are driven by profits and profit growth. During the Great Recession, corporations have been able to maintain profitability by slashing employment to reduce costs. They have streamlined their operations and have squeezed more productivity out of their remaining workers. Thus, higher stock prices don't necessarily mean a stronger economy, especially in terms of employment growth. That said, I do think the economy is on an upward path, with job growth of about 2 million expected for the national economy in 2012.
NO: One reason for the rise in stock prices since October has been an improving U.S. economy and some easing of fears over Europe. But another even more important factor may have been the drop in interest rates, with the yield on 10-year U.S. Treasury bonds down from 3 percent last summer to 2 percent today. As conservative fixed-income assets have become less attractive, investors have been forced to turn to stocks, many of which still pay a dividend significantly better than the yield on 10-year Treasuries. Lower interest rates are one factor in the stock market surge, but lower interest rates do not signal that the economy is on a sustainable upswing.
YES: Dow 13K hasn't yet proved to be sustainable. Stock growth may only mean that there is a lack of better investment alternatives for investors. The Dow is only a narrow measure of a few stocks — and even fewer larger investors — who can easily skew results. The Dow frequently swings 1-2 percent in a day. Not even Mr. Dow checked it daily. There are some good values in the stock market based on company earnings, and investors are seizing the opportunities. However, many corporations are still holding off expansion plans and hoarding cash, unemployment is still above 8 percent, and we have not been re-creating enough new jobs to sustainably recover. But the upswing at least reflects the stock players' positive outlook for the future.

About 100 turn up at rally in Malaysia to protest Christians' use of 'Allah'
Published on Jan 5, 2014 2:17 PM
KLANG - Selangor Umno members attended a rally against the Christians' use of 'Allah' on Sunday morning in Klang, despite party orders to stay away.
The rally, originally planned in front of the Lady of Lourdes Church to protest The Herald editor father Lawrence Andrew for calling on Christians to continue using the word 'Allah' in their Malay prayers, was moved to a field nearby after a backlash from critics.
About 100 people turned up at Sultan Sulaiman Club field, comprising members of Gerakan Masyarakat Prihatin, Jati, Isma and Pekida Meru division along with Umno Selangor members, Malaysiakini reported.
Kapar Umno deputy chief Saroni Judi who was present said he was worried that the use of 'Allah' by Christians would be abused.

MacBook Air Owners: How to Save HD Space
OK, obviously no one has one of these yet. But when you get one, you may want to consider making your first action reinstalling OS X from the DVD that comes with the MacBook Air. Why? It's simple.
For those of you who don't know, OS X comes with a lot of extra stuff you may not ever need. Specifically, I'm talking about foreign language support and preloaded printer drivers: Between these two things, an extra 6 GB or so of hard drive space is used. Normally, that's not worth worrying about, but with only 64 GB or 80 GB of disk space in the machine, you're talking about losing up to 10% of your drive capacity on stuff you may never, ever need.
So if you reinstall OS X right away and customize the installation, you can choose not to install all those extra language support files and printer drivers, and reclaim a healthy chunk of your hard drive in the process. It'll take a little time to reinstall the OS, but your hard drive will thank you later.
[NOTE: If anyone gets an MBA before I do, which seems likely at this point, and confirms that the language support files and printer drivers are already NOT installed on the MBA, please note such in this thread and we can have the thread deleted.]

|Jan 30, 2008, 03:46 PM
I think this is sage advice for all notebook users! I am hopefully getting a macbook soon so i think i may well be following this advice myself!
I never knew that the print drivers took up so much space! crazy-ness, just plain crazy...i guess it's a side effect of the whole "mac just works" thing. If they weren't installed at the beginning...they just wouldn't work
Insert a list here of all the expensive Apple products you have bought...
|Jan 30, 2008, 03:55 PM
My thoughts are that you really don't need to put much on your MBA if you have another Mac at home with broadband and .Mac you can take advantage of the Back to My Mac browsing and Screen Sharing to control your home machine or grab files from it. As long as you have a wifi signal where you are that is.
I know this because Tyler knows this.
You are not a beautiful snowflake. You are the same decaying matter as everything else.

Definitely get rid of the iBloat. That'll save you at least 3 gigs, maybe more.
Always on the lookout for longer battery life...
|Jan 30, 2008, 04:05 PM
iLife users may also want to consider deselecting iMovie and iDVD from the installation, as there's not much pro video to be had on a compact notebook. You can also look into XSlimmer, which lets you save space by removing the extra language support and PowerPC architectures that take up extra space.

For those of you who want a more "portable" solution, Gizmodo has a small story on the new small 1.8" external Western Digital Drives. They are pretty small so you can carry them with you anywhere and at $200 for the 320 Gb model, the price is not bad.

|Jan 30, 2008, 04:22 PM
If you don't get the external superdrive, be sure to delete iDVD

I am going to use my MacBook Air the way Apple intended.
I have my iMac here setup with sharing and I am going to connect to it via Wifi or EVDO to access files/projects.
Being a web designer/programmer I live by the internet anyway.
|Jan 30, 2008, 04:29 PM
Garageband eats up a lot of space too, along with iDVD so if those won't be used might as well not put them on there either. you can trim down the install by quite a bit actually by going through a reinstall off the bat
|Jan 30, 2008, 05:45 PM
Trashing the ms office and iworks demos (if they are installed), is also a good thing to do to recover space.

Easy on the printer drivers, if you delete rather than reinstall. Google for instructions. There are some files weaved in there OS X needs for its print architecture, hard to tell what they are, and if you delete them you can smack printing. But 1.5GB saved, at least.
I'd really agree on iDVD -- themes -- and GarageBand -- instruments and loops -- too. If you're running any kind of super-light, even hotel-room quality audio recording or production kit, you're at least in the MacBook line, and the Air is out. I can't imagine you can't keep the bulk of your iPhoto library off there, too. Or carry none of it. So you can whack iPhoto if that's the case. Mobile graphics guys won't be using this. Nor will film people. iMovie can go, too.
Really, you're looking at iTunes if you want to carry your music on it. But if you have any kind of decent iPod or iPhone, there's really no point.
iWork, unless you absolutely need it, ditch. Try Mellel for word processing for about $50 and maybe Mariner's spreadsheet product, if you need a spreadsheet at all.
Real MS Word may be a total necessity for some people, but I should think a lot of you can ditch the rest of the Office suite.

Graphics people can sure use it, so I don't think thats a fair assessment. Graphics should look good with the LED backlit display, and the power is more than adequate for Photoshop and other heavier tasks (I know, I used to have a computer with exactly those specs - 1.6Ghz C2D 2GB RAM - from Dell and it was quite speedy for graphics tasks).
I agree though that iMovie and iDVD can go. If you don't do much audio editing or any Garage band can go too. If you don't see yourself making websites, iWeb can go bye bye also.
Isn't there a way to get rid of individual applications AFTER they've been installed? Or get rid of extra printer drivers and such without having to resort to a format? Cause personally I would prefer to use it the way it was intended and then if and only if I really need extra space start trashing stuff.

Office 2008 has lots of extra language support that can be unchecked when you do a custom install. You probably will not need Messenger so don't install that, and for me entourage is just a waste of space.

And certainly something akin to AppZapper should be able to handle the removal of select applications if you plan to keep most everything and avoid a reinstall.

I've never done a fresh install of OS X. Can somebody give me a quick walkthrough (or link to one) of how to wipe the HDD and do a fresh install of 10.5?
I've searched the Guides page on macrumors to no avail. Many thanks!

This is pretty much the first thing I did with the Air. Popped the installer DVD into my Mac Pro and formatted. Overall, it was surprisingly fast given that it was doing it all over the wireless network.

I'm debating whether I want to pick up a superdrive for things like this (installing OS, restoring from backup). But if the speed isn't bad on wireless, I might skip that.
I have an "n" network.

I'd definitely not store media (movie, songs) on the hard drive, and Xslimmer sounds like a winner (yay lipo!). Contemplating language removal, and printer driver removal, but running a quick check of my MacBook's HD, my home folder is the largest hog. I'm starting there first
Definitely going to trash the silly apps too. Half of iLife has limited use on the road on a machine with no optical drive.

couple of questions with the reinstalling of leopard and doing a customization to save space.
i first tried to do this remotely but to no avail. when I got to the part where it has you select your wireless network...well for some reason mine isn't listed, but it is listed when I connect to the internet? what's up with that?
so then I manually type in my networks name and password... and It continuously searches for it... but never finds it!
anyone have any ideas as to why I can't connect remotely? but I can connect to the network to access the internet?
so then about saving all the unneeded items. I also bought the external optical drive. and went ahead and tried a customized install... but ... it is very limited on what you can delete or not delete?
for instance, I do not want garageband, but if I don't install that then I don't install iDVD which I want. So can I install it and then delete it at later time? like right now!!!
lastly, my questions is with the printer files. What exactly is the consequence of deleting it? In my wireless network I have a hp printer, so I would want to keep the hp pinter file right?
and then if I would delete all of the other printer files (samsung,canon, etc), does that mean if I am ever in someone else's network I couldn't use their wireless printer if it is some name that i deleted?
sorry for the length. I'm just really bummed that my remote disk is not working the way it should. I really hope it is not faulty!!!
thanks in advance

OS X Reinstall
I just ran the reinstall as suggested get rid of the "extras". It has ejected the disk but just keeps calculating the installation. Never asked for disc 2. Any suggestions?

Maybe I will be going over some old ground and maybe adding something new but if I can summarise my space saving methods:
I think that is about it for now.

I used Monolingual and got back 3.2GB, a great free application.

These comics are an English adaptation of the Japanese manga Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon (which has been recently released as English translations of the original manga, in manga format). The title of the series is also the name of the leader of the team (AKA "Sailor Scouts"), Sailor Moon. The main group of scouts are all young teenage girls who magically transform, and have abilities they can use individually or combined for a stronger attack. The scouts are Sailor Moon, Sailor Mars, Sailor Mercury, Sailor Venus, and Sailor Jupiter. Later in the series, other scouts are revealed, representing the outer planets: Sailor Saturn, Sailor Neptune, Sailor Uranus and Sailor Pluto.
