Rangers sign Dominican prospect Jairo Beras; face age investigation
Feb 29, 2012, 3:00 PM EDT
Earlier today it was reported that the Rangers had signed Dominican outfielder Jairo Beras for $4.5 million. But, there could be a problem: As Jeff Passan reports, Major League Baseball was of the impression that Beras was 16 years-old and thus not eligible to be signed at this time and at that price. It's being reported, however, that Beras is actually 17.
The confusion suggests that this is the first case of a Dominican prospect actually benefiting by being older than believed, because it's thought that if everyone knew he was 17, there would have been more action on him.
Anyway, Passan says that Major League Baseball is going to investigate this. Good luck. And make sure you follow all of the proper procedures lest your results be thrown out on a technicality.

Are they storing his birth certificate in a Rubbermade container? I understand there might be some problems with that.
- skids003 - Feb 29, 2012 at 3:19 PM
He'll be 21 until he turns 21, then he'll be 19. When he gets 33, he'll be found out to be 36. It's amazing how the Dominicans can change ages at will.

"The confusion suggests that this is the first case of a Dominican prospect actually benefiting by being older than believed, because it's thought that if everyone knew he was 17, there would have been more action on him."
I guess I'm not following your line of thinking, Craig. If everyone knew he was old enough to sign, and there would've been more action on him, doesn't that suggest that he could've been offered more than $4.5M? So he actually missed the opportunity to benefit from being older. By being 16, MLB clubs would've pursued him more a year from now. By being 17, he presumably settled for less than he could've gotten.
- fordman84 - Mar 1, 2012 at 10:17 AM
There were fewer teams bidding on him this year, and that hurt him. But if he really turns 17 in December, that makes him eligible to sign next year…and next year there is a cap. I think it is $2.9M. So if he were really 16, then he couldn't sign a $4.5M contract unless he eats up a teams entire international cap for two years.
- stuckonwords - Mar 2, 2012 at 12:17 PM
Good points, all of which are more meaningful than mine (that Craig's logic was a bit backwards). Having said that, Beras didn't benefit from being older; he *would* have benefited from being older, had other teams known. As you're pointing out, next year is too late, so he's missed the boat.

Tiny power plants hold promise for nuclear energy
PARIS (AP) — Small underground nuclear power plants that could be cheaper to build than their behemoth counterparts may herald the future for an energy industry under intense scrutiny since the Fukushima disaster, the incoming head of the Nuclear Energy Agency told The Associated Press.
Size is relative - the modular plants could be about as big as a couple of semi-trailers - easily fitting on the dimensions of coal plants they're ultimately intended to replace in the U.S. They would have factory-built parts that are slotted together like Lego blocks and hauled by train or truck - making assembly possible anywhere.
William Magwood, the incoming director of the Paris-based forum for nuclear energy countries, said the U.S. expects the first licensing applications to build one of the small, modular nuclear reactors in the second half of 2014, a key test to learn whether they can exist beyond the theoretical.
The Energy Department has sunk $450 million into a multi-year effort to persuade companies that the technology can be developed profitably, but companies have been drifting away from the project, citing funding and regulatory questions. It would be at least another six years before one could be built, Magwood said.
"Anything with nuclear takes a while, and that's appropriate when you're talking about a technology that has to be built correctly," Magwood said in an interview ahead of his formal introduction this week to his new post. "We haven't built one, so we don't know whether they're going to be financially successful."
Microsoft founder Bill Gates has offered enthusiastic support - and investment funds - for expanding nuclear technology he believes can provide affordable electricity to the world's poor and help combat climate change. But one of the most promising developers in the Energy Department effort, Babcock & Wilcox Co. owner of mPower, this week announced plans to scale back spending, citing the need for "significant additional investors." The other company in the running is NuScale.
And safety fears could cause even communities hungry for new sources of power to hesitate, just three years after the meltdown at Japan's Fukushima Dai-ichi plant. In the United States, the untested technology is competing with a shale gas boom that upended the market.
A full-size reactor costs $6 billion to $8 billion and takes years to build - and decades to recoup the costs. It can produce enough to power more than 700,000 American homes, more than 10 times the output of its smaller counterpart.
"A small reactor ... can be built for a fraction of that cost," Magwood said, describing the proposed costs as about one-tenth of a smaller reactor. Companies pitching the projects say they could be built near population centers, but Magwood said that would need serious vetting.
They have, he later cautioned, "a possibility that's not yet proven."
Gates is a major investor in the reactor development firm TerraPower, which is among a small number of U.S. companies trying to make major changes in nuclear power. The company, which primarily deals with large-scale reactors that would make and consume their own fuel, is also developing steel alloys that could apply to the modular technology.

Chondroblastomas are rare epiphyseal bone tumors. Very few cases with extra-cortical aggressive soft tissue invasion or metastasis are reported.
Case presentation
We report a 28 year-old adult male who presented with a large swelling over the left shoulder region. Pre-operative imaging revealed a large tumor arising from upper end of humerus with extensive soft tissue involvement necessitating a fore-quarter amputation. Patient received adjuvant radiation.
This patient is one of the largest chondroblastomas to be reported. Although chondroblastomas are typically benign, rarely they can be locally aggressive or metastatic. Early diagnosis and institution of proper primary therapy would prevent mutilating surgeries and recurrences.
Chondroblastoma is a rare epiphyseal benign bone tumor, occurring usually in the second decade and constituting less than 1% of bone tumors [1]. Since chondroblastomas are slow growing and present with pain and swelling, it is usually treated when relatively small. Treatment consists of curettage and bone grafting. Though it is a benign entity, rarely it could breach the cortex and involve adjacent areas.
Sixty years since chondroblastoma has been identified as a distinct entity, there have been very few reports of virulent behavior in the form of local aggressiveness or metastasis [2]. An important contribution to such a virulent tumor behavior in majority of these reports was surgical intervention followed by recurrent disease. We present a rare non-recurrent disease where the patient harbored the primary disease for 12 years and the aggressive tumor involved the adjacent soft tissues extensively necessitating a fore-quarter amputation. The patient was informed that his case would be published.
Case report
A 28 year-old male patient consulted us for a large swelling over the anterior aspect of the left shoulder which he had noticed 12 years earlier. The swelling had gradually increased over these years but pain which was negligible earlier had become more nagging over the previous 3 months. He was clinically evaluated 10 years earlier with X-ray and was advised to undergo surgical resection. The patient had refused the same, scared of losing his limb. No documents were available of this earlier evaluation.
At presentation, the patient had restricted shoulder joint movement on the left side, nagging pain and excessive sweating in the skin over the swelling. On examination, there was an anteriorly placed large non tender swelling over the left shoulder arising from the humerus and involving the soft tissues with firm and soft areas. There was excessive sweating in the skin overlying the tumor, left upper limb, left side of neck and some areas over left upper chest. The skin over axillary region of the swelling was thickened. In addition, there were dilated veins and cutaneous varicosities around the swelling. There was no edema or venous engorgements of the left upper limb and radial pulse was well felt. A clinical diagnosis of a recent sarcomatous change in a benign tumor was entertained.
Roentgenogram of the part showed an expansile bone lesion of the upper end of left humerus with areas of calcification. CT scan of the part showed a large tumor of the humeral head [Fig 1]. Fine needle aspiration cytology and core needle biopsy of the swelling suggested a diagnosis of chondroblastoma. However, owing to rarity of such a presentation, sarcoma was still considered a possibility. There were no metastases on evaluation.

The patient underwent fore-quarter amputation. Intra operatively, the tumor was in close proximity to the lateral chest wall but it was possible to obtain adequate margins of the vessels and nerves at the thoracic outlet. The tumor measured 21 × 16 × 10 centimeters [Fig 2]. Post operative histopathology showed features of chondroblastoma with extensive soft tissue involvement [Fig 3, 4]. The surgical margins were tumor free and there were no atypical features. The amputated stump was treated on a telecobalt unit to a dose of 50 Gray in 25 fractions over 5 weeks using tangential fields with a breast cone to spare the lungs. The patient is disease free and is on regular follow-up over the last five years.

Most chondroblastomas are benign. Described variant behaviors include aggressiveness, metastasis, sarcomatous change and affliction of multiple bones [2-4]. Recurrences are more frequent and are generally in the range of 5%-10%; most of the times they are due to inadequate primary surgery and are cured by further conservative surgical procedures [5]. Pathologically, an extensive extra cortical soft tissue involvement is termed aggressive. 'Atypical' indicates features of chondroblastoma with hemangiopericytoma like areas or presence of myxoid substance or spindle cells arranged in storiform pattern [6]. Unfortunately these 'atypical' features are not good predictors of future behavior of the disease. In a clinical setting, 'aggressive' has been used to denote a locally large or a recurrent lesion [7]. Most of the reported aggressive chondroblastomas are recurrent and are aggressive on recurrence [7-14]. In these cases, though there could be inherent 'tumor aggressiveness', significant iatrogenic factors contributing to the aggressiveness include breaching of cortex and accidental spillage at the time of curettage resulting in implantation of tumor tissue in soft tissues [2,9,14]. Hence, recurrence increases the chance of a chondroblastoma becoming 'aggressive'. Considering these factors, it is significant that only two of the earlier reported cases are non-recurrent and would qualify as a 'primary' aggressive chondroblastoma [5,15]. Two other cases which were claimed as aggressive chondroblastomas were later diagnosed as chondrosarcomas by subsequent reviewers [16,17]. The present case would qualify as the third case of primary aggressive chondroblastoma on clinical and pathologic criteria. There were no pathological atypical features. The aggressive and metastatic behaviors of 'benign' chondroblastomas have been thoroughly studied in two extensive reviews [1,2]. In most of the metastatic chondroblastomas the behavior of the primary tumor has been 'aggressive' with rare exceptions; on the contrary, not all aggressive local lesions metastasize. This patient did not develop any local recurrence in the 5 year follow up. In addition, he did not develop metastasis in the 12 year period he harbored the disease or during follow-up.
There were neither signs of neurological involvement of the left upper limb nor were there any signs of venous flow impediment. The tumor was large, with extensive involvement of humerus, surrounding muscles and soft tissues up to skin. In addition there was encasement of axillary vessels and branches of brachial plexus. In view of these, a limb conservation procedure was not considered feasible and a fore-quarter amputation was performed.
Excessive perspiration could be due to an autonomic stimulation as the axillary vessels and brachial plexus were encased by the tumor. The excessive perspiration has been ascribed in another case where there was unilateral hyperhidrosis to pre-ganglionic autonomic stimulation [18]. Hyperhidrosis over the neck and upper chest subsided post surgically prior to institution of radiation.
On histopathological examination, all the features necessary to diagnose a chondroblastoma with certainty were present. The microscopic features included the chondroblast, osteoclast like giant cells, mitotic rate of less than 4 per high power field, islands of primitive chondroid and chicken wire calcification. There were no atypical features. Since aggressive chondroblastomas are rare, and some tumors reported as chondroblastomas were later diagnosed as chondrosarcomas, the microscopic picture was reviewed by two other pathologists independently.
The neurovascular bundle and the surgical margins were tumor free. However, in view of the large tumor size and close proximity to the chest wall, administering adjuvant radiation was deliberated upon. An additional factor considered was that it would be very difficult to treat a recurrence if one were to occur. Though post-irradiation sarcomas have been documented in chondroblastoma, they have occurred when the bone harboring the tumor has been directly irradiated [1]. In this patient, the risk of post radiation sarcoma would be very much akin to the chest wall radiation following mastectomy as the radiation administered was targeted to the amputated stump including the skin and soft tissues [19]. Having considered these factors, the possible benefits of radiotherapy outweighed the risks and patient received adjuvant irradiation.
This patient was harboring an untreated chondroblastoma for 12 years and the disease was allowed to exhibit its natural history. The inordinate delay in treatment cost him his limb. The unanswered question is whether all untreated chondroblastomas behave in this manner. Recent chromosomal studies suggest that there appears to be a preferential involvement of chromosomes 5 and 8 in chondroblastomas and that 8q21 abnormalities may predict aggressive behavior [20]. Since only some of the aggressive chondroblastomas metastasize, it is possible that additional genetic changes determine the metastatic event.
Chondroblastomas are benign lesions but can be locally aggressive and rarely even metastatic disease has been documented. We report a third case of non-recurrent primary aggressive chondroblastoma. To our knowledge this is the largest aggressive chondroblastoma to be reported. This patient had to undergo a mutilating fore-quarter amputation due to inordinate delay in presentation. Early diagnosis and appropriate therapy can prevent recurrences and mutilating surgeries.

Whether fatal or not, all drowning and near-drowning incidents are preventable. In an effort to reduce child drowning and near-drowning, a recent analysis of the number of children treated in emergency departments for near-drowning incidents emphasizes the need for better water safety practices in Ohio.
The Ohio Department of Health tracks near-drowning incidents that are reported by emergency departments throughout Ohio on a daily basis. The data shows a clear seasonal trend in near-drowning incidents from May through August in Ohio.
Drowning is the third leading cause of unintentional injury death worldwide, accounting for 7 percent of all injury-related deaths according to the World Health Organization factsheets. Children, males and individuals with increased access to water are most at risk of drowning.
Children can drown in water anywhere. Young children, aged 1 to 9, are at greater risk of drowning in swimming pools while older youth, aged 10 to 19, are at greater risk of drowning in natural bodies of water and drowning is the second leading cause of death in children aged 0-4 according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Males are especially at risk of drowning, with twice the overall mortality rate of females. Studies suggest that the higher drowning rates among males are due to increased exposure to water and riskier behavior such as swimming alone, drinking alcohol before swimming alone and boating.
Increased access to water is another risk factor for drowning. Individuals with occupations such as commercial fishing are more prone to drowning and children who live near open water, such as ponds, ditches, or pools are especially at risk.
For yours and your family's health and wellness, practice the ABCs of water safety:
A = Adult supervision
Supervise children at all times around bathtubs, swimming pools, ponds, lakes, and other bodies of water. Partner with other parents to take turns watching children at swimming pools. Never swim alone. Always have a buddy with you when you swim.
B = Barriers around pools, spas and hot tubs
Pool fences with self-closing and self-latching gates can keep children away from backyard swimming pools when an adult cannot supervise them. Door alarms, pool alarms, and automatic pool covers can add additional protection when used properly, but should not replace a fence and good supervision.
C = Classes; swim lessons and lifesaving CPR classes
Begin teaching children to swim early. Experts suggest starting swimming lessons after age 4. Remember, though, that water safety programs for infants and young children are not a substitute for good supervision. Learn cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and get recertified every two years. Immediate CPR can help an individual stay alive and reduce the chance of brain damage.
Remember to install anti-entrapment drain covers and safety vacuum release systems to avoid entrapment in pools and spas. Additionally, make sure children wear life jackets (personal flotation devices) in and around lakes, rivers and ponds, even if they know how to swim.

Top of the World Highway > Tok > Denali
Now that i'd tackled the Dempster I was feeling better about the thought of crossing back over into Alaska via the Top of the World Highway.
The subtle tell tail signs you've just crossed back into Alaska...
Again I was fortunate to only catch a total of 20 mins rain on this stretch. Not a lot but just enough to illustrate how things can get pretty sloppy out here when it wants to. Clearly I was continuing to luck out with the road conditions.
Range roving under a saturated sky.
Met Russ, a marine biologist who also happened to be riding that same mountain ridge. We took the opportunity to take the stock vanity shots of each other and then he invited me to visit Seward for a behind the scenes tour of the sealife research center.
I ended up going and as direct result of riding that mountain ridge I was able to spend an hour of my life watching puffins fly underwater couldn't have predicted that even with a million monkeys typing for eternity. I'm convinced serendipity is the tetrahydrocannabinol of travel.
Life cannot be considered complete until you've visited the only settlement in the world with the name "Chicken" I say!
Apparently the original miners wanted to name their town "Ptarmigan" after the local bird but couldnt spell it and so they went with "chicken" instead.
After Chicken I followed the narrow winding Taylor Hwy towards Tok. Little did I know that seven days later a man riding his BMW would be killed on this road which would set forth a series of events that would connect with me hundreds of miles later. These events would go on to form one of my most important and treasured life memories.
I rolled into Tok, AK and decided to pull my trusty MSR tent out of its dirty yellow drybag and set up at Young's campground. Turned out to be a really nice place to stay with excellent (free) showers. The best thing of all is you can wander next door to fast Eddy's restaurant which serves great roadside food for the area. By this stage I was craving something green and they definitely came through with their all you can eat salad bar.
The next day as I was heading out I crossed paths with a really nice couple on a pair of TransAlps. It's uncommon to see just one of these lovely bikes on the road these days so to see two like this was a rare treat.
Unfortunately we couldn't chat long because they had places to get to and I wanted to take advantage of the fantastic sunny day to ride across the Denali Highway.
Dear Alaskan Pipeline Company,
Sorry 'bout that.
Hug Clinton.
Closing in on the Denali
It's like the opposite of a Barcelona beach holiday!
Lovely ride down the Richardson Hwy around the edges of Summit lake.
As I rolled into Paxon, AK and stopped to ponder the next 134 miles of dirt I noticed the wonderfully sunny day had clouded over and it was starting to spit with rain. At this point all I could remember about the Denali from the descriptions I'd read was the line "Treacherous when wet". I laughed to myself nervously said thought "Perfect!"
A few moments later a couple who'd just completed the road from the opposite direction pulled in next to me. They had this really hardcore battle scarred Jeep kitted out with massive off road tyres, jerry cans, shovels and a laptop mounted between the seats in police cruiser fashion. I wandered over and as I saw the guy fiddling with some high end sat nav app on the laptop and thought to myself "ok these guys will be able to give me an accurate, unbiased description of the road conditions ahead"
I asked the woman sitting next to him "How was the road?" to which she responded "Oh it's pretty bad"
Excellent, just what I was hoping to hear.
My declaration of independence is written with a TKC80 rear tyreMake sure you know what yours is written with.
So long story short I spent several glorious hours riding the Denali and soaking in its absolutely stunning surroundings. The Dempster's beauty lies in its brutal remoteness, The Denali has both remoteness and wall to wall mountains. Big Mountains.
That night I camped just off the intersection of the George Parks and Denali Hwys. Rode into Cantwell for a drink at really nice bar equipped with an eclectic mix of sofas, wifi, and good food. Perfect!
While I was in the bar a guy who was about to ride the Denali the next day came over and asked if I'd just ridden it and "How was the road?"
I responded "Oh, It wasn't that bad at all!"

Minimum wage measure clears 1st hurdle
Proponents still working on what amount they believe would be appropriate
DOWNTOWN SAN DIEGO A proposed minimum wage hike and mandatory sick leave policy that San Diego employers would have to provide is one step closer to reaching the November election ballot.
A committee on Monday gave Council President Todd Gloria's the go-ahead to work with City Attorney Jan Goldsmith on the ballot language and bring it back for consideration on April 30.
Gloria and a coalition of social justice advocacy groups are pushing for a wage hike beyond new minimums established by the state Legislature last year, arguing the $9 taking effect July 1 is insufficient in San Diego. The state minimum rises to $10 an hour starting in January 2016; the current minimum wage is $8 an hour.
"Raising the minimum wage would help tens of thousands of San Diegans working full-time pay for shelter, put food on the table and support their families," Gloria told the city's Economic Development and Intergovernmental Relations Committee. "This is a very real issue that must be addressed for us to move forward as America's finest city."
The proposal calls for tying a mandatory minimum wage inside the city limits to cost-of-living index that would be adjusted annually. Providing at least five days of paid sick leave each year would also benefit tens of thousands of workers on lower wage and benefit occupations, Gloria and his supporters argue.
The Center on Policy Initiatives told committee members that in 15 occupations expected to hire the most employees between now and 2020, about 110,000 of those positions are projected to pay below the $13.09 it says is needed for a single individual to get by on a bare-bones budget.
Clare Crawford, center executive director, said improving basic pay and having available sick leave would benefit all of the city and lead to greater worker purchasing power.
Pay hike supporters, including about of 100 of whom packed a council hearing room, have not identified a specific amount they ultimately would like to see paid, saying that figure is still being developed in talks with people on all sides of the issue.
The San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce and Mayor Kevin Faulconer have not staked out a formal position but have issued statements saying they're concerned that an increase beyond the state figures could put the city at a competitive disadvantage with neighboring municipalities.
A mayoral spokesman along with representatives of the chamber and the California Restaurant Association called for an independent economic analysis of whatever emerges as the proposed base wage.
Pastor J. Lee Hill Jr. or the Interdenominational Alliance said raising pay and granting sick live is simply "the right thing to do."
City Councilwoman Marti Emerald voted to move the matter forward, saying a ballot measure is an appropriate step.
"We need to put it to the voters and let the voters decide about the standard of living we need and expect in this very expensive region," she said.
City Councilman Mark Kersey said he worried about the effect of higher wages and paid sick leave on small business and also called for a comprehensive study.

IRE's Horvit: To be an effective reporter, get more comfortable with data
Mark Horvit, executive director of Investigative Reporters and Editors (IRE), recently shared
his thoughts on how data has changed investigative reporting and how IRE fits into the future of journalism.
IRE partnered with Poynter to run a week-long program on investigating local government on a shoestring budget last week. A large portion of the training revolved around using data, including teaching journalists how to source documents and use spreadsheets.

On This Page
When you start your computer, HIMEM.SYS allocates all available extended memory by default. It then manages the use of this memory by other applications with the extended memory specification (XMS).
How HIMEM.SYS Allocates Memory for ItselfHIMEM.SYS uses IBM ROM BIOS interrupt 15h to determine how much extended memory is available. It then uses the same interrupt to set the available extended memory to zero. This prevents other applications from allocating extended memory once HIMEM.SYS has started managing memory. (If you run other programs that allocate extended memory by using interrupt 15h, use the /INT15= switch. For more information, refer to the "User's Guide" for Windows 3.1.)
After setting the available extended memory to zero, HIMEM.SYS assigns handles to each free memory block. On a machine with 4 megabytes (MB) of random-access memory (RAM), the memory starting at 1 MB up to the 4-MB boundary is usually contiguous. In this situation, HIMEM.SYS assigns only one handle to this memory block. More handles are assigned on machines with multiple memory blocks, such as Compaq machines that have a small amount of memory starting at the 16-MB boundary.
Note: HIMEM.SYS does not allocate any memory until another program makes an XMS function call. SMARTDrive and RAMDrive make XMS function calls when they are loaded. The "DOS=HIGH" statement in the CONFIG.SYS file also makes an XMS call. This call requests the use of the high memory area (HMA) and forces HIMEM.SYS to allocate extended memory.
How HIMEM.SYS Allocates Memory for ProgramsHIMEM.SYS gives memory to programs that request it by making a call to an XMS function. It first looks for a large enough block to serve the memory request. Because some machines have more than one block, there is no way to determine which block will be used first.
When HIMEM.SYS finds a large enough block of memory, it divides the memory block into two, which allows the program to use the memory it requested and leave the remainder as a new smaller memory block. The memory allocated to the program starts from the bottom of the block and extends until the memory request is fulfilled. The new block, created from the extra memory, starts where the memory request stopped.
Interrupt 15h MemoryInterrupt (or function) 15h always allocates memory starting from the top of memory moving downwards. Before HIMEM.SYS starts, interrupt 15h sets the starting location or address of extended memory at the top or highest extended memory address. When the amount of available extended memory lowers, the starting address also lowers. After HIMEM.SYS starts, if no interrupt 15h memory was allocated, HIMEM.SYS sets the starting address to the 1-MB boundary (the bottom of extended memory).
Interrupt 15h does not manage memory the same way that HIMEM.SYS does. Interrupt 15h is a large group of several functions for accessing extended memory. Programs actually take control of interrupt 15h by inserting a small piece of code into a table that tells the system where interrupt 15h is located. This is known as creating a hook. Each program that wants extended memory creates a hook and adds some code to report how much memory is available. Programs report the initial available memory minus the amount they decided to use. HIMEM.SYS, when it starts, is no different. It adds a hook that tells all other programs that no extended memory is left. HIMEM.SYS then doles out memory to those programs that know how to use XMS functions, such as SMARTDrive, RAMDrive, and Windows.
Isolating Memory Areas with SMARTDRV.SYS and RAMDRIVE.SYSBy using SMARTDrive from Microsoft MS-DOS 5.0 and RAMDrive from either Windows or MS-DOS, you can roughly determine whether or not a block of RAM is causing problems. This can be very useful for tracking down problems such as memory parity errors.
Although the HIMEM.SYS memory allocation scheme does not allow you to determine which memory it allocates at any given time, you can use features of SMARTDrive and RAMDrive to perform a rough memory test. SMARTDrive allows you to create a cache limited only by the amount of extended memory available. It also lets you set two sizes for the cache, one for MS-DOS and one for Windows. RAMDrive also allows you to allocate a large amount of extended memory, but it does not have the dual size capabilities of SMARTDrive.
By using SMARTDrive from MS-DOS 5.0, you can load SMARTDrive before RAMDrive in the CONFIG.SYS file. You can then tell SMARTDrive to create an MS-DOS cache size of some large amount of memory and a Windows cache size of zero. When you start Windows, SMARTDrive reduces its cache size to zero. Because RAMDrive installs after SMARTDrive, this leaves a gap of unused memory at the bottom, which enables you to test the lower half of extended memory. You can check the top half by simply installing RAMDrive and nothing else.
To clarify this process, review the following step-by-step example, which explains what happens in extended memory as Windows and the various device drivers load. This example is for a machine with 4 MB of memory that is running MS-DOS 5.0 and Windows 3.1 and has frequent memory parity errors:

This story was amazing. I had to stay up until the late hours of the night and put off other tasks just to read this because I simply could not tear my eyes away.
The story overall was great. The suspense was built as the story was drawn out. That was a thing I liked about this story; little cliffhangers here and there, but never so lengthy to the point where I wanted to jump through the screen, rattle you, and tell you to get on with the story. :D
Another thing I liked was the smut (big surprise). It wasn't overly explicit in this version, but it was damn amazing.
You have great talent, and I hope you will be continuing with your writing. (I noticed your fics were posted several years back, unless you have more stories on another site).

Kroch's and Brentano's
|This article possibly contains original research. (August 2011)
Kroch's and Brentano's was the largest bookstore in Chicago, and at one time the largest privately owned bookstore chain in the United States. It closed in 1995.
Adolph Kroch, an Austrian immigrant to Chicago, founded a German-language bookstore in 1907. He switched to English-language books during World War I. Later he bought out Brentano's bookstore and merged them into Kroch's & Brentano's.
Adolph Kroch's son, Carl Kroch, opened a Super Book Mart in 1952 and called it the "World's Largest Bookstore". Carl Kroch later took over the Kroch's & Brentano's business, at a large location on South Wabash Avenue. He is credited with being the first bookseller to open outlets in suburban malls and a major developer of the market for paperback books, as well as a pioneer in book display concepts and store design.
Kroch's and Brentano's was said to have the finest selection of art books in the region, and its sales clerks were famously knowledgeable. One such individual was Henry Tabor, who ran the art department. There was seemingly nothing he didn't know in the world of art. The flagship store at 29 S. Wabash had several distinct departments including one run by Alice (Morimoto) Goda who was secretary to the vice-president which was a mail order center that tracked down obscure out-of-print titles for customers around the world. The store frequently exhibited noted painters' and photographers' work on the walls, and regularly hosted book signings by major authors.
At its peak Kroch's had a total of 22 stores in the Chicago metropolitan area. Kroch refused to offer the sorts of discounts that other book chains did, even though the store suffered when large discount chains, such as Crown Books, opened up nearby. When Crown opened its downtown Chicago store a few blocks north of the 29 S. Wabash location, Kroch's management felt that it was not a serious threat, since it did not offer "full service". However, unable to compete with the discount bookstores, Kroch's and Brentano's closed its doors in 1995. Always known for major book signings through its entire history, its final major book signing was with heavyweight boxing champion George Foreman, who was promoting his autobiography By George. That event was hosted by Don Hailman, a long time manager with the company and close friend of Mr. Foreman. Employee Hans Summers waited on the store's final customer at its flagship store on Wabash in downtown Chicago.[citation needed]

Convissar-led Terps rout George Mason in baseball
Kyle Convissar (Severna Park), Anthony Papio and Charlie White each had three hits and Maryland had 17 in all in a 16-1 rout of host George Mason in baseball. The 16 runs were the most by the club since a 21-run outburst against Duke on April 14 last season. Convissar drove in four runs for the Terps (18-15) to increase his team-leading total to 32. Papio added three RBIs one day after having three against Virginia Commonwealth. White stole two bases and has 32 this season, one short of tying the school record for steals in a season set by Larry Long (Howard) in 1998. Jake Stinnett held the Patriots (12-21) to four hits over five innings with four strikeouts to improve to 3-3.

It doesn't matter that "Black Superman" rocket-landed 18 years ago. If you bump Above the Law's best-known song at any public function, you should still prepare for no-holds-barred bedlam of the sort common to steel-cage matches, prison riots and shopping malls on the day Jordans arrive. Even KMG's real name (Kevin M. Gulley) implied rowdy invincibility, since, in rap slang, "gully" loosely translates to, "Do not fuck with this man."
The Pomona act fittingly jump-started their G-funk classic with dialogue from the 1988 film Above the Law. Like Steven Seagal, KMG was rough, rugged, raw and inclined to let a hairstyle overstay its welcome. (He was surely the last to quit the shag.)
Unlike Seagal, he and his crew were unusually funky. Straight out of the 909, Above the Law were Eazy-E's original reinforcements, next up on Ruthless Records after N.W.A and The D.O.C., rocking itchy trigger fingers, locs and Raiders caps. To bulletproof their street cred, the group were said to have beat the shit out of Ice Cube's Da Lench Mob at the 1990 New Music Seminar in Manhattan.
Earlier that year, Above the Law released their classic debut, Livin' Like Hustlers. That record, made with production assistance from Dr. Dre, later was named one of The Source's 100 greatest rap albums of all time. Though it never registered the national notoriety or sales of N.W.A or the Death Row stars, it monopolized the tape decks of underground rap fans from Crenshaw Boulevard to Crescent Drive in Beverly Hills.
Above the Law were the quintessential slept-on group: influential enough to write "Menace to Society," the reality rap chronicle that later lent its name to the Hughes Brothers' film, but not actually included on the Menace II Society soundtrack (though Cold 187um guested on a track from Mz. Kilo). Despite getting significant burn during the last days of KDAY AM 1580, Power 106 typically ignored them in favor of Suge Knight's crew.
But history will be kind to Above the Law. We'll never really know who first conceived G-funk, but it's clear that Above the Law's Cold 187um (Gregory Hutchinson) influenced Dre and helped to create the blueprint for the iconic L.A. rap sound. The group's sophomore LP, 1993's Black Mafia Life, is as loose, experimental and funky as gangsta rap gets. Their 1994 follow-up, Uncle Sam's Curse, contains their best singles, "Black Superman" and "Kalifornia," with the latter featuring sometime-group member Kokane and preceding "California Love" by a year.
"KMG always had that G-terminology, that wicked pen, and the desire to touch on social issues as well as what he saw in the streets," Kokane says. "We'd all sit in the room and he or I would come up with melodies and concepts, and [Hutchinson] was the genius who could put all the ideas together like Quincy Jones."
Following Eazy-E's death in 1994, Above the Law left Ruthless for Tommy Boy Records. A pair of albums never generated the response of their earlier work, and their output became scarce. Their last album was 2009's independently released Sex, Money, & Music, though Kokane says that a final Above the Law album was recorded before KMG's death. He describes it as similar in spirit to Uncle Sam's Curse.
But KMG secured his legacy a long time ago. Not only did Above the Law expand the sound of West Coast rap, they helped capture the mindset of the 'hood right before it burst into flames. We will always remember KMG, the walking dead man with eyes teary and a gun kind of heavy. The Black Superman. Pour out a little VSOP.

Two men were indicted Monday on murder charges at the Catawba County Justice Center.
The Catawba County Grand Jury indicted Michael Joseph Anderson, 19, of Hickory, and Brian Todd Hieb, 43, of Sherrills Ford, on murder charges stemming from two unrelated deaths. The clerk of court's office said Monday that the indictments don't specify whether the murder charge is first or second degree.
Catawba County received a more than $200,000 grant to increase the visibility of its small, rural manufacturers.
The web-based program will connect small companies with potential clients through the worldwide exposure of the Internet, in the hope of creating and retaining manufacturing jobs in Catawba County.
A Claremont warehouse has a new occupant, according to a statement released Monday from a private real estate company.
JER Partners announced that Sutter Street Manufacturing, a division of home-goods manufacturer Williams-Sonoma, will lease the entire warehouse on Kelly Boulevard in Claremont. The company's decision to come to Claremont, however, is a business move the Catawba County Economic Development Corporation and the city of Claremont have yet to confirm.
Riverbend Park, off N.C. 16 in northern Catawba County, is closed Monday for the safety of the public.
Duke Energy will open flood gates at the Oxford Dam following weekend rains. Conditions are unsafe for patrons at the park when the flood gates open.

of polymorphisms for those genes, and to foster epidemiological studies of gene-environment interactions in disease etiology. As discussed later in this chapter, evidence is particularly strong for increased chemical susceptibilities of individuals with polymorphisms of genes encoding drug-metabolizing enzymes (DMEs). EGP is using genomic technologies, such as high-throughput sequence analysis developed for the HGP, which will facilitate epidemiological studies of gene-environment interactions in disease.
The type of genomic technologies used in CGAP and EGP, and many of the data themselves, are anticipated to have an enormous impact on future research in developmental toxicology. Ideally, a developmental toxicology counterpart to such programs as CGAP and EGP would focus on obtaining data on gene expression at all times and in all tissues during normal development. Comparisons then could be made between embryos and fetuses from pregnant control (normal) animals and pregnant treated animals to look for differences in gene expression. Changes could be identified in the expression of genes encoding proteins known to function in cell signaling, transcriptional regulation, cell division, cell motility, cell adhesion, apoptosis, differentiation, metabolism, repair, electrolyte balance, homeostasis, or transport. Such studies will help to elucidate mechanisms by which extrinsic chemicals (potential developmental toxicants) act as agonists or antagonists to receptor- and enzyme-mediated subcellular processes during embryogenesis and fetal development. Such research will be a major force in merging the fields of developmental biology, genomics, and developmental toxicology.
The explosion of molecular biology in the past two decades has led to enormous advances in DNA sequencing, which in turn has led to the increasingly rapid identification of genes as ORFs and as EST sites and the identification of the function of gene products by sequence motifs (e.g., homeodomains, zinc-finger domains, kinase domains, and SH2 and SH3 domains). There are four major nucleotide sequence databases: GenBank and the Genome Sequence Database (GSDB) in the United States, the European Molecular Biology Library (EMBL), and the DNA Data Bank of Japan (DDBJ). All groups exchange new and updated sequences electronically and usually on the same day of submission.
There is a two-decade history of these databases. The goal of the Los Alamos Sequence Library in 1979 at the Department of Energy (DOE)-sponsored Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) was to store DNA sequence data in electronic form. Within the same year, a similar database was also established at the EMBL in Heidelberg. In 1982, it was agreed that any data submitted or entered by one group would be forwarded immediately to the other, thereby avoiding duplication of effort. In 1982, the LANL database became GenBank when Bolt, Beranek and Newman (BBN) became the primary contractor for distribution of

B's set to play on Garden ice for first time since Game 6
|09.23.11 at 12:09 pm ET
It won't be as hectic an environment on Oct. 6's season-opener, but on Friday the Bruins will play in front of their home crowd for the first time since June 13. That was the day of Game 6 of the Stanley Cup finals, a day B's fans will forever remember, and a day Roberto Luongo would love to forget.
Over three months and one Cup later, there's no doubt that those on hand will greet the defending champs with cheers of both support and gratitude. Even if the game doesn't mean anything in the grand scheme of things, the B's hope their energy can match that of the fans.
"It's always nice to be playing at home, in front of our fans," captain Zdeno Chara said after Friday's practice. "I'm sure they're very excited, so we just need to have a good performance."
Added defenseman Johnny Boychuk: "We've had a lot of support throughout the summer since we won, and I don't expect it to die down at all."
It will be interesting to see how one of the newcomers in Benoit Pouliot is received. The former Canadien in the lineup for Friday and will play in front of the Garden crowd for the first time as a Bruin.

The stars should not appear to get closer to the ship at all. Most of the game will take place in "realspace" which will have the ship moving at roughly 500 m/s. The sun in the system will be the origin and it will be possible to fly into the sun, but at 500 m/s that would take an awfully long time to get to the sun. (It may just be that I render the sun as a static object in the game depending on location in the system)
Based on that, a textured starfield I think would be pretty workable and realistic since the stars should just move right left and up and down, not coming at the player.
During translation to the warp the cock pit closes down and the warp is done without visuals (i'm probably going to add some hellish glows ala warhammer 40k but that's still pending)
I like the idea of textured starfield map simply because it requires the least amount of code... you paste it to the skybox.
Possible issues with this: i want each system to appear different, and not just arbitrarily different.
I like how EVE does it where each point of light is actually a system. I think that's more or less rendering a star on the backdrop in the same absolute location to the world though which I also think is very doable.

Gardening on a grand scale was a hallmark of Camden from the 1840s through the 1940s. Be a time traveler and imagine going to see a 32-acre garden wonderland with long sand paths passing under manicured green arches of cherry laurel, cassena, and holly. Along your walk you pass shrubs carefully clipped to make topiary shapes. Take in the scent of the Cherokee Rose hedges which encircle the whole garden. Linger in the shade of the grand magnolias and Cedars of Lebanon. Picture a terraced walkway with green arches above your head at each set of steps. At the bottom ...

BLACKFOOT – Blackfoot Community Center (BCC) received two grants last week. One grant was from the Bistline Foundation Fund and the other was received from the CHC Foundation, Inc.
BCC received a grant for $3,000 from the F.M. and Anne G. and Beverly B. Bistline Foundation Fund in the Idaho Community Foundation to purchase exhibits for the art and music rooms of BCC's Children's Museum of Idaho.
"We are fortunate to receive the Bistline Grant," said Ashlee Howell, Director of BCC. "The grant money will be used to expand the children's theater.
No one sustained injuries Friday afternoon when a pickup hauling a trailer and boat rolled on Interstate 15 about milepost 83.
The pickup was driven by a 40-year-old male. He and his wife were not injured in the accident.
The pickup with Fremont County plates was headed south on I-15. The accident occurred shortly after 4 p.m. Friday.
The trailer and boat were attached to the pickup. As the trailer and boat began to fishtail, the driver slowed down.
The momentum of the trailer and boat caused the pickup to roll.
The Idaho Attorney General's office received authority to take over a criminal investigation of Bingham Memorial Hospital on Friday.
"We will conduct a thorough and deliberate investigation," said Robert Cooper, Director of Constituent Information & Communication with the Attorney General's office.
"I understand there is a great deal of interest in Blackfoot about this investigation in Blackfoot," he said. "There is no target date.
"We expect this investigation will take weeks and months rather than a few days," Cooper said.
BLACKFOOT — Elementary school age migrant students are enjoying an educational blend of Mexican and American culture at the Idaho Migrant - English Language Learners (ELL) summer school program currently underway at Ridge Crest Elementary School.
It was a Facebook message retrieved at midnight that held the good news that 18-year-old Cameron Baker of Blackfoot had been waiting and hoping to hear...leaving him shocked, excited and unable to sleep!
Baker, a vocalist and recent graduate of Blackfoot High School, learned via Facebook that the audition tape of the original music he had sent to The Complex (a large concert venue in Salt Lake City) landed him and his pianist, Blackfoot High School student Josh Spencer, a gig as one of two opening acts at the Dia Frampton concert in Salt Lake City next Tuesday night.
BLACKFOOT—Disappointment did not cross Stephanie Palmer's mind when she didn't win one of three vans given away by the National Mobility Equipment Dealers Association (NMEDA) which gave away three 2012 wheelchair-accessible vehicles last month. Instead Palmer expressed her amazement and gratitude, "I was truly blown away by the support I received." With over 22,000 votes, Palmer came in 14th place and was in the top 3 percent to be considered for the vehicle.
BLACKFOOT—Chaune Bumgarner has an eye for art and the endless capacity to love children. That is why Bumgarner is thrilled to present "Art by Kids" first ever art show Thursday from 5:30 to 8 p.m. The 37 students will be showcasing five to seven of their best pieces including brightly colored art of dinosaurs, fairies, flowers and abstract images in various different mediums.
The Blackfoot Police Department is asking for assistance in identifying two male persons who committed a burglary at the Maverik convenience store in Blackfoot on June 16. The males pictured entered the store shortly before midnight and stole a large amount of beer. The males appear to be in their late teens or early 20s and may have been driving a white car with a loud muffler.
"Two guys came in and picked up four 12-packs of beer," said Maverik manager Cheri Randall. "They were walking like they were going to the counter and then ran out the door.
