Kearns has trouble catching balls running towards the gap/wall.

I think Mays pitched fine tonight - I'll take not pretty and a quality start - if we can just get that BP not blowing it for the starters.

mays did well

Mays pitched well tonight, don't think this is going to become a trend. Once Claussen is back he should retake the spot in the rotation.
Except that Kearns missed a ball that he should have caught, and the Reds should've turned a double play before Wright's double. Our defense gave the Mets five outs in the fifth.Originally Posted by nineworldseries
I will say this for Mays. He really buckled down when there were jams and avoided the "big inning". He got ahead of hitters and did all of the things that Claussen hasn't been doing lately.
I'm not saying that I have a lot of faith in this guy, because his recent history is awful. But at least for one night he did a decent job.
he pitched well, he escaped trouble adroitly
I believe I had read that while in the minors mays worked alot with ted powers and they worked on his mechanics and believed they fixed alot of things. I think he said his fastball wasnt sinking before and he had gotten it back to sinking like it had in the years he had been successful. So hopefully he has turned it around and take over that 5th spot in the rotation, put claussen in the pen and in my opinion you strengthen the rotation and the pen at the same time. Assuming that mays has turned it around.
welcome, a great inaugural post, this is a great board
I'm not ready to say that Mays is the answer at the 5th starter position, but I really liked how he pitched last night. That is one of the best all-around balanced lineups in baseball that the Mets put out and it was on their field, which is a hostile place to play. He showed a lot of grit and heart, which impressed me more than anything he threw. Hopefully he gives us that consistant effort everytime.
I don't like the idea of Claussen in the pen, but he can't be much worse than what's already there.
As much as I loved the fact that he pitched 6 innings last night giving up only 2 runs, in my mind, I don't see this lasting. Here's why: he allowed 8 hits and 2 BB's over 6 innings despite a perfect 6th. So his WHIP for the first 5 innings was 2.0...that's awful. I will give him credit for pitching great to get out of some jams, but there's no way you can consistently pitch well with a WHIP approaching 2.0. At multiple times last night, he was one pitch away from giving up alot more runs. He seemed to be walking a tight rope out there. I don't think his 'stuff' is very good and I doubt it'll improve much. Hopefully, I'm wrong, but I think the real Joe Mays will show up soon and we'll be anticipating Claussen's return from his mind-clearing vacation(I'm still crossing my fingers that we'll have a new starter via a trade before then).

He has won a Stanley Cup and an Olympic gold medal, started one NHL All-Star Game and played in another. By age 25, he was the Ducks' captain.
Ryan Getzlaf has a lot of reasons to be plump with pride, certainty and swagger, a lot of reasons to feel just dandy about himself as a hockey player.
Then the subject comes up. Faceoffs.
Faceoffs, a rather significant part of a center's job.
Faceoffs, where possession is established in a game where possession is only, well, let's see here, ah everything.
Faceoffs, as 1-on-1 a battle as there is in all of sports, not just hockey, where the results of 1-on-1 battles often determine the results of games.
"I'm terrible," Getzlaf says. "I go through phases where I'm struggling. It's definitely a part of my game that I try to work on. I'm not happy with where I am percentage-wise."
Where Getzlaf is, precisely, mirrors where his team is in the standings today – way too near the bottom.
Among the NHL's top 50 in faceoffs taken, Getzlaf ranks 48th in winning percentage. Only Dallas' Mike Ribeiro and New Jersey's Patrik Elias can't beat Getzlaf's 47 percent.
The best in the league win 55 to 60 percent of the time. Getzlaf would have to win nearly everything between now and Santa Claus' visit to reach those heights.
It's never good when an athlete is struggling to be more successful at something than Shaquille O'Neal was at shooting free throws. But, in terms of faceoffs, the Ducks are Shaq On Ice.
(Imagine that visional for just a second. Shaq On Ice. Suddenly, O'Neal's free-throw form doesn't look so unsightly.)
Entering Tuesday, the Ducks ranked 29th in the NHL in win percentage in the faceoff circle. If you're not aware, this league has only 30 teams. At 46.6 percent, they led Calgary and no one else.
"It's not an easy thing because you have to think about a lot of different things," Getzlaf says. "You need your wingers to help you out, too. Everybody thinks the faceoff is just the centerman, but it's a five-man job."
Perhaps more than coincidently, the Ducks and Flames also rank in the bottom 10 in power-play success, goals per game and shots per game. It is particularly difficult to excel in those areas when the other team has the puck.
We're not saying their lack of success in draws is why the Ducks are where they are at the moment. But we are saying this shortcoming could be one reason they keep coming up short.

Paired with a dark solid, a bright variegated yarn and a woven-look slip-stitch pattern gussy up some truly simple knitting: There are only two pattern rows and no hand shaping. Snowball fights, here I come.
Finished Size: 7½" hand circumference and 8¼" long from cuff to tips of fingers. To fit a woman's small to medium hand.
Yarn: Manos del Uruguay Wool Clàsica (100% wool; 135 yd [123 m]/100 g): mulled wine (MC) and #08 black (CC), 1 skein each. Yarn distributed by Fairmount Fibers.
Needles: Sizes 7 (4.5 mm) and 10½ (6.5 mm): double-pointed (dpn). Adjust needle size if necessary to obtain the correct gauge.
Notions: Waste yarn; marker (m); tapestry needle.
Gauge: 17¼ sts and 30 rows = 4" in linen st on larger needles.
knitting pattern is not complete in instructions. I worked on making my own pattern from it through trial and error. Ripped out and redid until I got it right . A very agravating way to begin a new site for me.
PDF does not seem to be working for me. Cute mittens though!
also it doesnt say what size needles to use for the thumb? i used the larger ones but now i think i should have used the smaller ones. oh well. the shaping of the top of the mitten didnt make any sense to me either. i just made something up for that part until i ended up with the right number of stitches at the end.
I'm confused by the thumb portion. When it says "With CC and beg at top of thumbhole
with RS facing, pick up and knit 10 sts
down front of mitten and 10 sts up back of
mitten—20 sts."
Am I supposed to put all 20 stitches on one needle? because I can't make them fit on one needle.
Here is a site that not only explains the abbreviations but has little videos to show you how to do them.
In the pattern, it says to see glossary, I am sure not seeing one on the three pages I downloaded. Can you please guide me as to where to look for this?
Nice pattern, didn't see a guide as to what the abbreviations meant. I, being fairly new to this , need that guide so I know what it all means. I am delighted to see this mitten pattern, but will be even happier to understand it!

Big Mac,
Well, here we are, nearly a year and a half into George W. Bush's presidency—a good time to take stock. Because you and I cut our teeth on campaigns, let's begin by judging W. by his own campaign promises.
In a time of peace, prosperity, and surplus, he promised change. Now we've got war and recession and deficits, so I guess he delivered. But like the man said, "Change is certain; progress is not."
W. promised to "change the tone" in Washington, a not-too-thinly veiled reference to the savage politics of personal destruction his own party had practiced against Bill Clinton. But instead of ushering in a new era of good feelings, he personally ordered—according to the Bush-friendly Washington Times—a political hit on Senate majority leader Tom Daschle, trotting out Dick Cheney to essentially endorse ads that linked Daschle to Saddam Hussein. This at a time when Daschle had been targeted for assassination by terrorists with anthrax. Nice.
W. promised to cut taxes and cut them he did. He shifted hundreds of billions of dollars of projected surplus into the pockets of the wealthiest Americans while raising taxes on the middle class by slapping a 30 percent tariff on steel. For most working folks, the tiny Bush tax cut will be gobbled up by higher prices for cars, trucks, refrigerators, and everything else made of steel. Meanwhile, the Bush IRS has cut way back on audits of the rich and increased audits on the working poor. The bottom line is like that old country song: "They Got the Gold Mine. We Got the Shaft."
Why on earth would W. want to reverse the single most successful economic policy in history? It seems to me that he's obsessed with doing the opposite of Clinton on everything—and not just on taxes. Clinton insisted that corporate polluters continue to be taxed to help pay for the clean up of Superfund sites; Bush pushes for the elimination of the tax and generally retreats from the environmental agenda so radically that the man who enforces the environmental laws—someone first hired by his father—resigned in protest. Clinton engaged personally and courageously in the quest for peace and brought the Arabs and the Israelis closer than at any point in the past five thousand years; Bush walks away, disengaging from the Middle East as it erupts in flames, then belatedly flops around like a fish on a dock with a policy that even our friends say is incoherent.
Which brings me to what I hope to tease out of you in this exchange: Surely you don't think Bush has been perfect, do you? Yet I've never heard the slightest admission from any of the Bushies about W.'s failings. Can it really be that everything Clinton did was wrong and nothing W. does is? There is a certain Stepford quality among the Bushies; y'all act like the stuff on his cowboy boots don't stink. This is not good for the country or for the president. He needs criticism from those closest to him; instead, they brandish his approval rating, which we both know barely moved from his election until September 11. It's more realistic to view it as Osama bin Laden's disapproval rating than Bush's approval rating.
If I expect you to be candid about your man's faults and my man's strengths, let me rise to my own challenge. I love Bill Clinton as much as you love W., but I publicly broke with him on the Mark Rich pardon and his lack of candor in the Monica Lewinsky affair. And I have applauded Bush's policy in Afghanistan. Remember W.'s campaign claptrap about a hollow military, his stupid criticism of multilateralism, and his ignorant attacks on "nation building"? All that is out the window now. W. is praising our military, lining up allies, and sending envoys to help rebuild civil society in Afghanistan, and I could not be happier.
So there. I've criticized Clinton and praised W. It can't be that hard for you to praise Clinton and point out W.'s failings. Hell, Mac, even a blind hog in a field eventually finds an acorn. And you're in a damn orchard.
Yo, Pablo,
Man, you need a tractor to pull yourself out of the past. News flash, amigo: We ran against Al Gore, not Bill Clinton. Your goal in life may be to create and preserve a legacy for your former boss, but the rest of us have moved on to the future.
You're not going to bait me into criticizing the president. That's your job. But since you're obsessed with Clinton and seemingly in desperate need of praise, I'll be glad to offer some. Clinton had an enormous intellectual appetite and capacity. He did the Democratic party a great favor by moving it to the middle to embrace taboo notions like welfare reform. During his administration, the American economy prospered like never before. Clap, clap, clap. Give the man a gold watch. Now get him off the stage (and off the cover of Newsweek). It's embarrassing.
If Al Gore had run half the campaign Bill Clinton ran, he might be president. But he didn't, and he's not. And speaking of Al Gore, I just heard music to my ears on NPR as I was grabbing my morning coffee. Al Gore is back, ranting at the Florida Democratic Convention. Gone is the hirsute Al Gore. Gone is the silk-shirt-unbuttoned-to-his-navel Al Gore. Gone is the John-Travolta-in- Grease Al Gore. Back is the good old Al Gore America came to know and reject. Back from oblivion to declare, "Never give up on what you believe in."
Er, what is it exactly that Al Gore believes in? Besides himself, that is? And even then, which himself is it that he believes in? Isn't that why America rejected him? Rejected him when he was running on the strongest economy in this century? (See, I'm giving your man Clinton credit again.) When the issues voters cared about—Social Security, health care, education—were associated with Democrats? He had every advantage a presidential

DISA recalculating acquisition strategy for commercial IaaS
Wednesday - 11/27/2013, 3:56pm EST
The Defense Information Systems Agency is making adjustments as it continues to assess the needs of its Defense Department customers for cloud services to host nonsensitive data.
A draft request for proposals was initially issued in June. Now DISA is tweaking its approach to buy commercial infrastructure-as-a-service and other support services, including cloud-based storage, virtual machine, database, and web hosting services.
According to the Nov. 8 FedBizOpps.gov notice, "This strategy may result in a solicitation for a new contract at a significantly lowered ceiling or the leveraging of contracts previously awarded which contain the appropriate scope for meeting this demand."
DISA's chief information officer, Dave Bennett, told Federal News Radio in a recent interview the agency is still navigating its role as the Pentagon's chief cloud provider.
"A lot of this stuff we're trying to figure out as we go along there's no magic book out there," said Bennet said in an "Agency of the Month" interview in October. He said, "a lot is figured out through dialog with the vendors and the customers, getting to understand what the art of the possible is and what the level of risk is that you're willing to accept."
DISA's Component Acquisition Executive Dr. Jennifer Carter, speaking in a separate "Agency of the Month" interview, said DISA is trying to find the right fit to meet DoD's security requirements and achieve commercial pricing through a large number of users, whether it be full commercial or a partitioned cloud.
DISA has published security information and guides in an effort to be proactive so that commercial vendors can then use that information as they develop products. Carter says that by meeting these security requirements industry will, in turn, gain a competitive advantage in the commercial space.

Cobbs snaps out of slump to lead Cal past USC
BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) — Justin Cobbs raced down the floor past Southern California's defense and scored on a game-tying three-point play. The next time down the court, California's speedy point guard got an even more wide open look in the lane and gave his team the lead for good.
Keeping the up-and-down Golden Bears in the thick of the Pac-12 race might be a bit more difficult.
Cobbs broke out of a two-game shooting slump to score 22 points and freshman Jabari Bird added a pair of late 3-pointers as California beat USC 77-64 on Sunday night.
"They part the sea so it's an open lane," Cobbs said of his pivotal play that came as part of a 9-0 run. "I just tried to go finish."
Cobbs had been mired in a 4-for-20 skid before going 8 of 10 from the floor against the Trojans. He made his final five shots and added seven assists while helping Cal (18-9, 9-5 Pac-12) split the season-series with their inter-state rivals.
Cobbs made it through the game despite a pair of hard collisions with USC players. Both times, Cobbs lay prone on the court momentarily before getting up and hobbling off.
The Bears needed all they could from the senior guard, who needs three assists to move past Jason Kidd into fourth place on Cal's career list.
Coach Mike Montgomery's team shot just 36.7 percent and were limited to 27 points in the first half.
Still, Cal moved into a tie for third with Stanford in the Pac-12, one game behind idle UCLA.
"It was a win we had to have," Montgomery said. "We just changed what we were trying to do and opened up the court. They were jamming the paint but we got the post up away from the basket and it opened up some driving lanes, and Justin was good at finishing."
Ricky Kreklow added 12 points off the bench while Bird and Tyrone Wallace scored 10 points apiece for the Bears.
Pe'Shon Howard scored 17 points for the Trojans (10-17, 1-13), who have lost eight straight.
"They put four guards in there and spread the floor and gave the ball to (Cobbs)," USC coach Andy Enfield said. "We did a decent job containing him but in the second half he played like a senior all-league player."
The game between two teams headed in opposite directions was much closer than anticipated until Bird helped Cal pull away.
He split past two USC defenders to score on a fast break, then made back-to-back 3s to give the Bears a 72-60 lead.
After a basket by the Trojans' Strahinja Gavrilovic, Cobbs scored on a layup and made the free throw to complete the three-point play.
That was in stark contrast to the first meeting between the two teams on Jan. 22 when USC led the entire way of a 77-69 win over the Bears. That was also the only conference game the Trojans have won this season.

These straps are awesome!!
Use these straps with the Dakine wrap pads on the factory installed crossbars on my 2012 Ford Escape. No complaints. They are really sturdy, tighten and hardly ever loosen (if you're driving all day on the highway, stop every couple of hours just to give an extra pull), and show no wear after hauling 3 longboards at a time all up and down the east coast. I don't think I'd ever buy anything else but these. Totally recommend!
Great Surf Straps
Dakine's Baja straps are super easy to use, durable, and will keep your board sitting securely on your roof/rack.
Definitely a great purchase and Dogfunk got these out to me quickly.

transfers to consumptive use preserves return flows from the original use to other appropriators on the stream.
Water marketing has been hailed as the modern, environmentally friendly way to deal with water shortages in the arid West, as opposed to dam construction. Most water right transfers involve surface water rights. However, ground water transfers are common in Arizona. Water markets provide flexibility in water use and management while also providing "real world" prices for water, which can be useful in attempting to value ground water. More states should consider the authorization and promotion of water marketing, including transfer of ground water rights when appropriate.
An emerging policy issue is how to deal with adverse community impacts from transferring water from irrigation to nonagricultural uses (NRC, 1992). A principal concern is that as water is transferred away from irrigated agriculture to other uses, the community's agribusiness economic base may be threatened.
A variation on the water right transfer theme is for an entity, typically referred to as a water bank, to purchase water rights from users willing to sell them, and then resell the water to whoever needs it. Water right sales to a water bank may be temporary, whereas most water right transfers are permanent.
Water marketing and banking are important to valuation in that such water right transfers provide actual market values for water, which in turn provide crucial information for valuing ground water.
Arizona's Ground Water Management Act of 1980 reflects a series of conscious water allocation choices to a much greater degree than most state water allocation legislation does. Arizona's Act mandates the goal of eliminating ground water overdraft by the year 2025. Overdraft is to be reduced by a series of 5- and 10-year plans that apply to Arizona's most populated areas and agricultural center. Thus Arizona's Ground Water Management Act is a rare example of state legislation that implicitly values ground water. Such legislation can help pave the way for other states to use valuation studies in determining ground water's future economic worth. Florida also regulates ground water uses to protect public water values, including environmental services from ground water.
The principal consequence of the law of capture ground water allocation policy relied on by many states is that potential future uses of ground water are not taken into account. Valuation plays no significant role in ground water allocation policy under the law of capture. Indeed, the extent to which state water law fails to deal effectively with ground water depletion indicates the degree to which its policies ignore valuation.
Valuation as an analytical tool has typically been more important to water suppliers in helping them evaluate water supply alternatives. A recent study involving ground water valuation was prepared for the city of Albuquerque to

Publisher: Princeton University Press
This is an eTextbook Learn More
Wally Broecker is one of the world's leading authorities on abrupt global climate change. More than two decades ago, he discovered the link between ocean circulation and climate change, in particular how shutdowns of the Great Ocean Conveyor--the vast network of currents that circulate water, heat, and nutrients around the globe--triggered past ice ages. Today, he is among the researchers exploring how our planet's climate system can abruptly "flip-flop" from one state to another, and who are weighing the implications for the future. In The Great Ocean Conveyor, Broecker introduces readers to the science of abrupt climate change while providing a vivid, firsthand account of the field's history and development.
Could global warming cause the conveyor to shut down again, prompting another flip-flop in climate? What were the repercussions of past climate shifts? How do we know such shifts occurred? Broecker shows how Earth scientists study ancient ice cores and marine sediments to probe Earth's distant past, and how they blend scientific detective work with the latest technological advances to try to predict the future. He traces how the science has evolved over the years, from the blind alleys and wrong turns to the controversies and breathtaking discoveries. Broecker describes the men and women behind the science, and reveals how his own thinking about abrupt climate change has itself flip-flopped as new evidence has emerged.
Rich with personal stories and insights, The Great Ocean Conveyor opens a tantalizing window onto how Earth science is practiced.

BOSTON -- The two bombs that ripped through the crowds at the Boston Marathon, killing three people and wounding more than 170, were fashioned out of pressure cookers and packed with shards of metal, nails and ball bearings, a person briefed on the investigation said Tuesday.
The details on the apparently crude but deadly explosives emerged as investigators appealed to the public for amateur video and photos that might yield clues, and the chief FBI agent in Boston vowed we will go to the ends of the Earth to find those responsible.
A person who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the investigation was still going on said that the explosives were put in 6-liter pressure cookers, placed in black duffel bags and left on the ground. They were packed with shrapnel to inflict maximum carnage, the person said.
The person said law enforcement officials have some of the bomb components but do not yet know what was used to set off the explosives.
A doctor treating the wounded appeared to corroborate the person's account, saying one of the victims was maimed by what looked like ball bearings or BBs. Doctors also said they removed a host of sharp objects from the victims, including nails that were sticking out of one little girl's body.
VIDEO: Obama says bombings an act of terror
None of 90 Idaho runners injured in Boston blasts
Raw footage of Boston Marathon explosions
Boisean in Boston talks about heightened security
Meantime, the FBI's investigation into the bombings at the Boston Marathon was in full swing Tuesday, with authorities serving a warrant on a suburban Boston home and appealing for any private video, audio and still images of the blasts that killed three and wounded 140.
Officials said Tuesday morning that no other undetonated bombs were found, despite rumors of as many as five more. An FBIofficial said there were no additional threats associated with the Boston bombings.
They also made an appeal to have people who videotaped or photographed the area around the detonation to share them with investigators.
Officials said no one had claimed responsibility for the bombings on one of the city's most famous civic holidays, Patriots Day. But the blasts that left the streets spattered with blood and glass raised fears of a terrorist attack.
President Barack Obama Tuesday morning called the bombings an act of terrorism, switching from a day earlier when he was careful not to use the words terror or terrorism as he spoke at the White House.
He said Tuesday morning that investigators have not determined a motive for the blasts. Nor do they have knowledge of whether an individual or a group was responsible.
A European security official said Tuesday initial evidence indicates that the attacks were not the work of suicide bombers.
So far, investigators believe it was not the work of suicide bombers, but it is still too early to rule it out completely, said the official, who spoke from the United States on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak about the U.S. investigation.
The Pakistani Taliban, which has threatened attacks in the United States because of its support for the Pakistani government, on Tuesday denied any role in the marathon bombings.
The fiery explosions took place about 10 seconds and about 100 yards apart, knocking spectators and at least one runner off their feet, shattering windows and sending dense plumes of smoke rising over the street and through the fluttering national flags lining the route.
Blood stained the pavement, and huge shards were missing from window panes as high as three stories. Victims suffered broken bones, shrapnel wounds and ruptured eardrums. Surgeons said victims appeared to have been hit with BBs or ball bearings.
As many as two unexploded bombs were found near the end of the 26.2-mile course as part of what appeared to be a well-coordinated attack, but they were safely disarmed, according to a senior U.S. intelligence official, who also spoke on condition of anonymity because of the continuing investigation.
WBZ-TV reported late Monday that law enforcement officers were searching an apartment in the Boston suburb of Revere. Massachusetts State Police confirmed that a search warrant related to the investigation into the explosions was served Monday night in Revere, but provided no further details.
Some investigators were seen leaving the Revere house early Tuesday carrying brown paper bags, plastic trash bags and a duffel bag.
Police said three people were killed. An 8-year-old boy was among the dead, according to a person who talked to a friend of the family and spoke on condition of anonymity. The person said the boy's mother and sister were also injured as they waited for his father to finish the race.
Hospitals reported at least 144 people injured, at least 17 of them critically. At least eight children were being treated at hospitals.
Tim Davey of Richmond, Va., was with his wife, Lisa, and children near a medical tent that had been set up to care for fatigued runners when the injured began arriving. They just started bringing people in with no limbs, he said.
Most everybody was conscious, Lisa Davey said. They were very dazed.
The Boston Marathon is one of the world's oldest and most prestigious races and about 23,000 runners participated. The race honored the victims of the Newtown, Conn., shooting with a special mile marker in Monday's race.
Boston Athletic Association president Joanne Flaminio previously said there was special significance to the fact that the race is 26.2 miles long and 26 people died at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
One of the city's biggest annual events, the race winds up near Copley Square, not far from the landmark Prudential Center and the Boston Public Library. It is held on Patriots Day, which commemorates the first battles of the American Revolution, at Concord and Lexington in 1775.
Boston Police Commissioner Edward Davis asked people to stay indoors or go back to their hotel rooms and avoid crowds as bomb squads methodically checked parcels and bags left along the race route. He said investigators didn't know whether the bombs were hidden in mailboxes or trash cans.
He said authorities had received no specific intelligence that anything was going to happen at the race.
The Federal Aviation Administration barred low-flying aircraft within 3.5 miles of the site.
We still don't know who did this or why, Obama said at the White House, adding, Make no mistake: We will get to the bottom of this.
With scant official information to guide them, members of Congress said there was little or no doubt it was an act of terrorism.
We just don't know whether it's foreign or domestic, said Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas, chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security.
A few miles away from the finish line and around the same time, a fire broke out at the John F. Kennedy Library. The police commissioner said that it may have been caused by an incendiary device but that it was not clear whether it was related to the bombings.
The first explosion occurred on the north side of Boylston Street, just before the finish line, and some people initially thought it was a celebratory cannon blast.
When the second bomb went off, spectators' cheers turned to screams. As sirens blared, emergency workers and National Guardsmen who had been assigned to the race for crowd control began climbing over and tearing down temporary fences to get to the blast site.
The bombings occurred about four hours into the race and two hours after the men's winner crossed the finish line. By that point, more than 17,000 of the athletes had finished the marathon, but thousands more were still running.
The attack may have been timed for maximum carnage: The four-hour mark is typically a crowded time near the finish line because of the slow-but-steady recreational runners completing the race and because of all the friends and relatives clustered around to cheer them on.
Runners in the medical tent for treatment of dehydration or other race-related ills were pushed out to make room for victims of the bombing.
A woman who was a few feet from the second bomb, Brighid Wall, 35, of Duxbury, said that when it exploded, runners and spectators froze, unsure of what to do. Her husband threw their children to the ground, lay on top of them and another man lay on top of them and said, Don't get up, don't get up.
After a minute or so without another explosion, Wall said, she and her family headed to a Starbucks and out the back door through an alley. Around them, the windows of the bars and restaurants were blown out.
She said she saw six to eight people bleeding profusely, including one man who was kneeling, dazed, with blood trickling down his head. Another person was on the ground covered in blood and not moving.
My ears are zinging. Their ears are zinging, Wall said. It was so forceful. It knocked us to the ground.

Dear Movellas.com and its users,
I shall keep things short and sweet. This isn't a sudden or sad occurrence, considering I haven't really been online for a good few months.
Thank you so much for all the support and love over the past years, I've had a great time on this site but as I don't really post any more I've decided to make my absence definite. I will be leaving all my "work" on here (and to anyone who continues to read it - thank you, past me would be extremely happy).
Again I give my thanks to everyone who has ever liked or commented, it does mean a lot to me.

There is no doubt that first time attendees of Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers meetings find it hard to understand what the organization is all about and how you can benefit.
For many people, am sure we want to know how it will add more sufurias (cooking pots) in our kitchens or whether it has any relevance at all. You can read more about it www.icann.com
ICANN brings together registrars, registries, businesses, non commercial users. Buts safe to say that ICANN meetings are dominated by commercial interests.
One of the registries participating in ICANN is dot mobi, the people in charge of .mobi registry. I have met Francesco in previous meeting and he has expressed interest to meet Kenyan techies; to get to explain more about dot mobi.
So, Francesco is interested in talking to mobile application developers; dot mobi has cool developer stuff and they are working with major handset manufacturers on various aspects.
Local hosting companies and registries; there is a lot of talk about providing services via web but how do you make sure that end users get the right experience?
Domain marketers; if you buy domains from ICANN accredited registrars, it means you can access resources at dot mobi either in terms of advice or anything else without going through the registrars out there...that is for dot mobi.
Any other interested party; if you just want to learn more about opportunities at dot mobi, just come and listen.

Some years ago, while I was interviewing a cordial octogenarian for my biography of André Breton—often called, to his disgust, the "Pope of Surrealism"—my interviewee suddenly leaned across the table and threatened to give me "a sound thrashing" if I used the abhorred word pope in my book. I did include the term, of course, but not without trepidation—a fear that had little to do with the outrage of vengeful codgers and everything to do with disappointing those whose trust I'd spent years courting. It's a quandary for any biographer, particularly when writing about a figure who still inflames the passions of a fervent cult: Does one respect the insider's code and eschew those aspects of the subject deemed vulgar, indiscreet, or commonplace? Or does one acknowledge that, for the general reader, such inconvenient

Medicare Advantage Plans
Medicare Supplement Plans
Medicare Prescription Drug Plans
Medicare Special Needs Plans
Medicare Education
Plans often called "dual" or "dual eligible" are designed for people who qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid at the same time. These plans include all Medicare Part A (hospital stay) and Part B (doctor visit) benefits and Part D prescription drug coverage. For people with limited incomes, these plans may offer better health care coverage than Original Medicare and a separate Part D plan.
Who is it for?
Dual eligible plans are most common for Medicare eligible individuals with low incomes.
How do I qualify?
To qualify for dual eligibility, you must receive Medicare (Parts A and B) and full Medicaid benefits where Medicaid pays for all or part of your Medicare co-payments, co-insurance and deductibles. To know if you qualify, you should look at the letter you received from your State Medicaid office, or call them to find out your status.
How does it work?
Medicaid benefits can help pay for Medicare costs of a dual eligible plan. Plus, dual eligible plans often cover benefits not offered by Medicare, such as routine hearing, vision and dental benefits, as well as providing coverage for transportation.

'An end to greed, beginning of rule of justice, sustainability'
NEW DELHI: "Gandhi's philosophy and practice are relevant not just to India but to the entire world to find solutions to climate chaos and the deepening economic and social divide between countries and people caused by increasing non-sustainable systems of organising productions and consumptions," says noted environmentalist Vandana Shiva, the moving spirit behind NGO Navdanya.
International conference
Navdanya in collaboration with the World Future Council, which was formally launched in India recently, had organised a two-day international conference on "Gandhi, globalisation and climate change" that concluded here on Wednesday.
The conference was aimed at highlighting the alternatives that Mahatma Gandhi had inspired which are vital to respond to climate change and socio-economic inequality.
Wasteful production
Stating that the Mahatma was critical of industrialism as a wasteful production system, which destroyed both livelihood and resources, Dr. Shiva at a press conference here on Wednesday said: "Economic globalisation has emerged as a dominant paradigm for organising the economy with maximisation of profits rather than maximisation of public good as the guiding principle. Two centuries of industrialisation in the West and two decade of economic globalisation have created life-threatening situations including problems related to climate change and global warming."
Dr. Shiva said the economics of greed necessitates the politics of tyranny and violence. "Gandhi's path of non-violence demands an ends to this rule of greed and the beginning of the rule of justice and sustainability," she said.

Leap Motion partners with Razer, will be baked into the OSVR headset
Leap Motion has teamed up with Razer for its OSVR headsets, where it will supply its motion-tracking technology directly into the Open Source Virtual Reality headset.
Razer's upcoming Hacker Development Kit (HDK) headset for OSVR will be made available later this year, where developers will have the option of buying one with the faceplate that feature's Leap Motion's gesture-tracking hardware and software baked inside. Developers who opt for this will receive a bundle that includes the ability to create apps and experiences that will use Leap Motion's hand-tracking technology.
Leap Motion's CEO, Michael Buckwald, has said that this partnership is just the first it will have with VR headset makers. Buckwald was coy on which other partners it is working with, but teased that Leap Motion's long-term goal is to have their technology in as many of the leading VR headsets as possible. Buckwald said: "The peripheral [the Leap Motion controller as a standalone device] is still our biggest business but VR is our priority now. We can be in at the ground floor and help shape what it means to have input and help shape what the [VR] operating systems look like".

Best Buy will sell the Samsung Gear VR starting this Friday
Samsung, Oculus VR and Best Buy have partnered together to get the Galaxy Note 4-powered Gear VR headset on Best Buy shelves on March 27 - or this Friday - for $199.
The Gear VR headsets will be at 100 of Best Buy's stores, with more stores receiving the VR headset later this year. The Gear VR Innovator Edition is powered by Samsung's own Galaxy Note 4 smartphone, which features a 5.7-inch 2560x1440 display that provides an immersive VR experience on-the-go.
Wearables spending increasing, but privacy, security concerns linger
The fitness and healthcare sectors will help drive the wearables market into an estimated $2 billion market by 2019, according to Juniper Research, but questions remain.
There is great potential for doctors and medical patients embracing wearable devices able to consistently monitor physical data - but privacy concerns and unstable regulation must be addressed. Medical devices have mandated standards they must follow while collecting and storing data, though wearables don't currently follow the same standards.
In its "Smart Wireless Devices: CE, Enterprise, Fitness, Healthcare, Patients, 2015-2019", Juniper Research also found a use for smart glasses and other wearables in the workplace.

Sports can benefit from wearables, help drive interest
Wearable manufacturers can pitch their products to a wide possible customer base, but attracting athletes could be of major focus in the future.
Many endurance athletes already rely on heart rate monitors and GPS units, but companies hope devices that are able to track additional metrics, such as skin temperature and respiration, are appealing. The hardware is important, but companies must create appealing partnerships so that all collected data can be easily observed by active consumers.
Instead of trying to create a product to compete with trusted GPS units, wearable manufacturers may try to make clothing, shoes, sunglasses, and other athletic gear smarter.

Fitbit CEO: Don't worry about wearables causing cancer to wearers
Fitbit CEO James Park doesn't buy into long-term health care concerns over smartwatches and other wearables, despite a recent New York Times story.
The story noted that similar to smartphones, wearables could be linked to cancer, due to radiation being emitted - but Park and others believe this type of research needs to be more carefully examined.
"In general, cell phones are definitely a very different beast than the low powered wearables," Park said in a statement to TIME. "The transmit energies are orders of magnitude higher. So if people are comfortable wearing Bluetooth headsets, I think wearables are even less of a concern because Bluetooth headsets are also close to your head. Wearables are not, unless you happen to sleep right on top of your wrists."

Intel investing in the mobile market, researching possible moves
Intel is currently undergoing its largest push into the mobile market, learning from previous mistakes after missing the first major smartphone wave a few years ago. The company has endured dropping sales of PCs and laptops, as more consumers and business workers embrace mobile - so this is an important effort for the Silicon Valley giant.
"They're determined not to miss the next big thing," said Mark Hung, analyst at Gartner. As such, Intel's Q1 revenue estimate lost almost $1 billion because of slowing PC sales, but merged its mobile and PC businesses into one computing business.
"It helps when your other businesses are performing well," said Andy Bryant, Intel board Chairman, in a statement to investors late last year. "When things are going well it gives you the time and the resolve to make the changes you need to make in other parks of your business."
Magic Leap teases the next generation of augmented office warfare
When Google invested a huge $500 million into Magic Leap last year, we didn't know what would come of that - until, well, now. Take a look at the video below, and if you're not impressed, I would be heavily surprised.
The company has stated that this is a real game that the Magic Leap staff play in their offices right now, and I want to, too. It looks so good that it looks like it is something that was created as a technology demo, and isn't real right now, but with the Google-funded company promising that this is indeed real, the potential of this is quite large.
I don't think what we're seeing right here is possible with the technology we have right now, as the wearable side of things for the user would require a serious shrink from the size we have today. But, it is a great tease and a peep into the future, which is exciting nonetheless.

Doctors show some health concern related to wearable devices
The wearable electronics market is booming, and some consumers and doctors are wondering what type of health impact these products could have on owners.
Considering the Apple Watch - which is expected to quickly propel the wearables market - isn't even out yet, and there has been no research into possible health-related issues, this is more of a general concern than outright risk.
"The radiation really comes from the 3G connection on a cell phone, so devices like the Jawbone Up and Apple Watch should be okay," said Dr. Joseph Mercola, alternative medicine specialist, in a statement to the New York Times. "But if you're buying a watch with a cellular chip built in, then you've got a cell phone attached to your wrist."

Fitbit: Wearables show great potential in the health industry
Fitness wearables and smartwatches might be popular among consumers, but show true potential in the health industry. The collected data could be easily passed from consumer directly to his or her medical professional, offering a more detailed look into daily physical activity.
There are concerns related to privacy and data security, especially when it comes to personal medical information, though Fitbit - and other manufacturers - are keen to work with the FDA to approve regulation.
"I think right now everyone is focused on pure consumer benefits and motivating people to change their behavior," said James Park, CEO of Fitbit, in an interview with TIME. "I think there'll be a next big leap in benefits once we tie into more detailed clinical research and cross hurdles and dialogue with the FDA about what we can do for consumers and what's regulated or not."

Augmented reality finding a place on the production floor
Smart glasses using augmented reality may not have taken off among consumers, but are still going strong in the workplace. A growing number of Fortune 500 companies are testing augmented reality, hoping the budding technology will help employees be more productive.
"It's combining the digital world and the physical world," said Tuong Nguyen, principal research analyst at Gartner, in a statement to NBC New. "There are a lot of companies that are trying this technology out."
There is great potential for AR to be used with business leaders trying to promote the "deskless workforce," with many employees deployed out in the field. Access to hands-free, real-time data gives them increased advantage to make things happen while no longer waiting for paperwork.

Another beginner question....
I am 48, live in California and am a Divemaster (hobby). I am over all the traffic, office work and daily humdrum of life. I love boating and have been to the Greek Islands and Caribbeans. Ever since I was a kid, I wanted to live aboard a boat/yacht and either work from there or just enjoy my travels. I want to live aboard as well as be in the bluewater going where ever the wind/charts take me.
I just want the simple life. I've been doing tons of reading on it and realize that there is so much to learn, but it's fun, so it is not scaring me off. I've researched marina's, schools, etc... I guess my question is....I don't know if I prefer a motor yacht or a sailboat. I know nothing of a sailboat so courses would be mandatory. For a motor yacht, the same would probably apply. It seems the majority of people have sailboats. They just seem like a lot of work but much less expensive.
I'm suggested to look into a 25 to 36 foot craft that is roomy. What would best be suitable to start researching and taking courses in? I really have no preference, but cost in maintenance and upkeep would weigh into the equation for the vessel.
Hope you can help!
Thank you.
