Adam Langer…a wonderfully rich, engaging and multilayered new novel…[Perlman's] boldest work yet…the story is truly impressive in the breadth of its details…Perlman can be a stubbornly old-fashioned writer with a profound dedication to the idea of the novel's social importance. And he has produced a well-researched and passionately told work. On nearly every page, we can sense the author's fascination with history and his deep affection for these characters.

A member of the villainous Zabi family in the original Mobile Suit Gundam anime series. She has appeared to varying degrees in games based on the franchise.

Dulux "Let's colour" campaign is trying to transform, through color, all that abandoned and boring places that sometimes surround us. Besides the two sites, this is the tv-commercial presenting the whole thing: (the agency is EURO RSCG London)
"Billboard yourself, you are made of music" is an interactive installation, what a cool one, from Almap/BBDO in Brazil for Billboard Magazine. I specially love the non-digital essence of the knobs to choose your favourite artists: Here's the Flickr gallery of the people that used it.
You've probably seen these Adidas Originals sneaker collection, based on Star Wars characters. Then it's time to go to Mos Eisley Cantina (needless to say that Snoop Dogg with a lightsaber is far more scarier than Luke Skywalker)
I love this campaign from Uniqlo. Really smart, what a fantastic piece of… media? advertising? Take a look at the video explaining the case: (via Ferran Lopez)
Abuku means bubble in japanese, and that's the word behind this video coming from W+K Tokyo Lab, in which to emphasize the air (main quality of the product) they decided to create an aquarium inside the shoe… i'm still wondering if that's cool or weird, probably both, but that's for sure that it's an original approach for the idea:
This caught my attention this morning, quite good for a teaser, Coke's secret formula turned into an ARG: There are a few links (this and this and this and this and this and this and this) inside the video to follow the story. (via Stolen Genius)
This new site from Lynx really shows that they are struggling to get back to the sites produced in the past. This site is just frustrating and has no real pay-off for the time you spend spraying a nerds wet armpits.
Using digital media is a good way of reliving historic events from the past. Last year it was all about the 40th anniversary of the first lunar landing, with outstanding projects such as We chose the moon. But last year it was also the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, and that is how it was created the Go Beyond Borders Project, an initiative of Heimat Berlin and CNN International in conjunction with Berlin Tape Artist El Bocho.
You might know Dutch apple cider brand Jillz from their almost controversial commercial Fresh Men, back in 2009. This week they launched a follow up. Clearly targeted on women, it features the same spicy over the top men again. But the call for action makes it interesting. They want you to vote against the rule that doesn't allow football players to take off their shirt after a goal. This way, the upcoming World Cup football in South Africa should become interesting for women too.

Seward Co-op dumps some products made by anti-birth control Eden Foods, cites poor sales
Categories: Business, Food, Health Care
|Co-ops and groceries might not be boycotting Eden, but at Seward, a critical mass of customers are.
Some are apparently doing just that at the Seward Co-op, and in response, management announced earlier this week that they've already stopped selling some Eden products.
See also:
Abortions at record low in MN thanks to health care access, contraceptive mandate, NARAL says
In the week after SCOTUS announced its Hobby Lobby ruling on June 30, sales of Eden products dropped 12 percent, Seward officials say on a post on the co-op's website. For the first four weeks of July as a whole compared to last year, sales of Eden products were down 15 percent.
"We've told customers through our comment system and via social media... [that] if Eden Foods products stop selling well, we'll stop buying them," Seward's web post says. "We tracked product movement in July, and Eden Foods sales have indeed slowed down... Several Eden Foods' products whose sales have slowed considerably have been discontinued altogether."
In addition to dropping some Eden products, Sean Doyle, GM of Seward Co-op, wrote Eden Foods President Michael Potter a letter urging him to "drop your lawsuit against Health and Human Services, and fund insurance coverage for contraception for all of your employees." (Read the full text on page two of this post.)
In related news, the Wedge Co-op recently published a statement outlining its position on the Eden Foods controversy. Like Seward and the Mississippi Market, the Wedge doesn't have a "boycott policy" and focuses on "issues surrounding food, farming, and the health of the soil" rather than health insurance.
"Co-ops are not the economic arm of progressive politics," the statement says. "We do not fire weapons in the culture war and do not have a contraception position or an insurance coverage position."
"There are shoppers who prefer Eden products because of the company's 40+ year track record on organic integrity, domestic sourcing and BPA-free packaging," it continues. "There are shoppers who just prefer the way those products taste. That is their choice. We are not in the habit of letting some owners decide what products other owners may purchase at their own co-op, other than that the products have to sell enough to earn their shelf space."
That said, the Wedge vows to track Eden sales, and to remove the company's products from its shelves if sales drop as they apparently have down Franklin Ave. at the Seward Co-op.

Perez Hilton Wants to be a Daddy
Filed under: Gay Parenting, Celeb Parents, Celeb News & Interviews
Hilton's real name is Mario Armando Lavandeira Jr. He has been very vocal about gay rights issues, including outing a number of celebrities, including Neil Patrick Harris. Hilton received massive media attention last year when, as a judge for the Miss USA pageant, he asked Miss California Carrie Prejean about her feelings regarding gay marriage.
Prejean answered that she thought it was "great that Americans are able to choose one way or the other ... same-sex marriage or opposite marriage," but she believed that marriage "should be between a man and a woman." She then became a spokesperson for the National Organization for Marriage, which was a violation of pageant rules and led to Prejean losing the Miss California crown.

Estou fazendo um MBA em São Paulo, por isso, viajo toda semana para esse destino. É muito estressante!
Entretanto, a Suíte do Staybridge apazigua um pouco esse tormento. Com sua arquitetura moderna, bem pensada e sofisticada, faz-me acreditar, por longos momentos, que estou em casa.

Excellent Location, friendly Staff
May 12, 2015
A nice Hotel in a pleasant location amid a plaza with shops, restaurants and even Movie theaters, only two blocks from my office. Very friendly and attentive staff, only drawback is the lack of an eating place in the Hotel itself making you go across the road to get breakfast.
Excelente hotel

This seldom happens on streets that have heavy traffic in morning hours, but they are allowed as two way in Off Load hours (like in night)!!!

She sure didn't break the law then!!!
fair point aniketkno about the not breaking laws part but what if she didn't park her car, or she was with a friend who was towing her car because it broke down or something?

That doesn't make much sense because unless she was running faster than the bus, toward the end of the bus she would still be traveling in the direction of the bus.
She could be on a bus, walking towards the back while the bus faces the correct direction on the one way street.

Asbestos poses extraordinarily serious hazards to human health. It causes asbestosis, a chronic disease of the lungs. Also it is a potential carcinogen. It is known to cause cancer of the lung, mesothelioma (a rare tumor of the lining of the lung), cancer of the larynx and gastrointestinal cancer.
As buildings containing asbestos age, deteriorate and become subject to renovation and demolition, the likelihood increases year by year, that the asbestos now in them will be disturbed and become airborne. Once it is in the air, this asbestos can be inhaled by workers, by school children, and by members of the public. After it is inhaled, it will in some persons eventually and inevitably cause cancer.

MAYWOOD, Ill. -- There's a high rate of depression among patients with hepatitis C, but a standard treatment for the disease includes a drug, interferon, that can cause depression.
In a review article, researchers tackle the complexities of diagnosing and managing depression before and after initiating treatment with interferon.
Dr. Murali S. Rao of Loyola University Medical Center is a co-author of the study, published in the International Journal of Interferon, Cytokine and Mediator Research.
"Depression is a relatively frequent and potentially serious complication of interferon therapy for hepatitis C virus infection," the researchers write. "However, other etiologies [causes] of depression may coexist and have to be carefully excluded."
Hepatitis C is the most common chronic blood-borne infection in the United States. At least 4 million people have been exposed and 3.2 million are chronic carriers.
The drugs ribavirin and pegylated interferon are mainstay treatments. Pegylated interferon can help relieve muscle and joint pain and reduce the disabling fatigue. But a well-established side effect of interferon is depression of variable severity -- including suicidal thoughts. The prevalence of depression among hepatitis C patients receiving interferon has been reported to be between 10 percent and 40 percent, depending on the screening method used.
One of the main concerns in treating hepatitis C patients is the risk of suicide, especially since many patients already are depressed before beginning therapy. Patients who have a personal or family history of a serious mood disorder, depression, suicidal thoughts or suicide attempts "should be carefully interviewed and referred to a specialist for assessment of suicide risk and treatment of the underlying disorder before treatment with interferon can be considered," the authors write.

Boeing posts $1.6B loss in 3Q on plane charges
Boeing's ambitions seem to have outflown its abilities, as the company's plans to reinvent the way jetliners are built keep faltering, forcing it to post a big loss in the third quarter.
The airplane maker has struggled to get its 787 passenger plane and a revamped version of the 747 jumbo jet off the ground. Delays, parts shortages and last-minute fixes have cost it billions in extra expenses and lost years. That's on top of weak demand for aircraft as air travel and freight shipments take a hit during the economic downturn.
But Boeing's troubles have arisen partly from a new approach to plane building. In recent years, the company has outsourced manufacturing and engineering work to suppliers around the world. It's also started using carbon composite parts to reduce weight and improve fuel efficiency.
Those technological leaps have proved popular in the marketplace – the 787 has more orders than any other new plane – but troublesome for the Chicago-based company.
"We experienced a bridge too far, leading-edge kind of development, which is what we are trying to recover from right now," Boeing Chief Executive Jim McNerney said in a conference call following the company's earnings announcement.
During the quarter, Boeing's sales edged up 9 percent, but charges of more than $3.6 billion for the 787 and 747-8 programs resulted in a loss of $1.56 billion, or $2.23 per share. It was a disappointing shift from a year earlier when the company earned $695 million, or 96 cents per share.
The charges also led Boeing to cut its 2009 profit forecast to $1.35 to $1.55 per share from $4.70 to $5 per share.
Matt Collins, an analyst Edward Jones, said he wasn't surprised by Boeing's results.
"Right now, there's not much they can say to regain investor confidence," he said. "They just need to execute. The third quarter is almost a non-issue. It's what's going to happen with the 787 and 747-8."
Both the new 747 and 787 have had their original test flights and deliveries to customers pushed back by years. That's partly because suppliers have botched certain work, such as the installation of fasteners that hold the plane together.
The revamped 747 was unveiled in 2005 and is designed to be larger and more fuel-efficient. The passenger version of the 250-foot plane seats 467 passengers.
Boeing's other big worry has been the 787, a mid-size aircraft built for fuel efficiency with carbon composite parts. While popular, with 840 orders, the plane was delayed for the fifth time in June. Boeing said parts of the aircraft needed to be reinforced. The aircraft – designed to carry up to 330 passengers in wider seats and aisles – is more than two years behind schedule.
The company must improve the two plane programs by setting more realistic goals and tightening oversight by technicians and engineers, McNerney said. Problems surfaced when Boeing started shipping work from its longtime manufacturing base in Washington state to suppliers worldwide, from South Carolina to Italy to Japan.

LAUTOKA successfully defended the B division title beating Suva 28-15 in the Digicel Punjas Netball Championship final at Lautoka's multi-purpose court yesterday.
The Torika Butani-coached side bounced back from its 10-22 pool game loss to overcome the Capital City girls.
Sharp shooter Joana Kunabere was the toast of the host team scoring 85 per cent of her shots at goal to give her side the much needed win.
Kunabere was ably supported by talented Iliseva Drasuna to deny the visitors the win.
Butani said the win was special to the team.
"Winning the title for two years in a row is special," the former national rep said.
"And to beat Suva at home is sweet.
"I thanked the girls for their effort."
Butani said the pool game loss to Suva inspired her netters to win the final.
"Miscommunication between the players on Day One affected our performance," she said.
"We regrouped in the second game and the girls improved on their mistakes.
"Also some tactical changes in the third quarter made the difference."

6800GS (unlocked) trade for P4 3.0 worth it?

Anyways, you have to sit down and crunch the numbers on how much money you are going to spend on your current setup.. and how long its going to last.
vs making the leap to something new.. Like getting a Intel 920 D and OC'ing it to at least 3.7 ghz is really really tempting.. awesome bang for the buck. Unfortunantly, I've blown my budget effectively for at least the first half of this year by getting the gateway widescreen lcd..
That and AGP is now a deadend, so personally, I wouldn't spend any more money on a AGP card, cause I know my next system will be PCIe.. Only exception is, if you are deadset of using AGP for next couple of years.
I'm more of just buy an really nice complete system, and stick with it for about 3 years (maybe more ram or hd's), and just get another new complete system afterwards.. since really, not much is worth carrying over anymore..
i see your point, i agree, my 3.0ghz northwood at 3.4ghz and my 6800 GT (ultra) is great, it gets the job done perfectly
however, i think there'd be quite a difference between that celeron and a 3.0c.... i'd do it, because you'll eventually end up with a better cpu and video card, either way you look at it, it'll be an upgrade, and if you don't have all the money for a complete new system and you want to max it out (like i wanted to) it'll probably work
i've had this system for 2 years, and this 6800 GT for about half a year.... it was maxed out for a while and technically it can go further with a 7800 GS. however in your case i think it'd be great to do the upgrade, and max out your agp system, plus it takes away the hassle of having to re-install because of going to a new motherboard, go ahead and max it out, you'll enjoy it

Actually two sets of parts were purchased. First I replaced the Igniter, thermostat and cysling thermostat. I would suggest starting out replaceing the thermal fuse and then go down the list. The last part I replaced seemed to be the problem. Replacement of the thermal fuse and thermostats was very simple, remove the back and replace the parts. The coil and igniter were more difficult. I had to remove the screws form the lid, pry open the top, remove inside screws and then access the igniter and coil. Instructions provided for igniter were useful, but there was one screw hidden from view that was not included in the instructions. Dryer is now working

The ADHD Sampling Menu
The ADHD brain locks onto one of life's fascinating topics, then skips over to another one and then another. We order the 'sampling menu' – a little taste here, a nibble there.
Sunday afternoon, I received a call from one of my clients, a young woman in her early twenties who told me that her father had died of a massive heart attack the previous evening. I was shocked. Although I had talked to her father only once – he interviewed me before he agreed to pay for ADD coaching – I knew he was a relatively young man,...

The Ideal Gadget for ADHD Adults
I can see clearly now -- but only when I can find my glasses. So, I have discovered the best invention ever for attention deficit adults.
For the most part, I don't mind getting older (quite possibly because I am in denial). "Age spots" don't send shudders down my spine – they look like freckles to me. I've never had freckles; they seem kinda friendly, like Pippi Longstocking. And I've never been obsessed about the differential between the year I was born and the year displayed on my cell phone. Birthdays, schmirthdays. Who...

As an ADDiva with attention deficit disorder, there are foods I just don't have the patience to eat, like watermelon and crab.
My husband and I went out for dinner last week. Victor ordered crab legs. I didn't. I love crab legs; they're almost as good as lobster. But I haven't ordered or eaten them in years. Why? It's the process: wrestling with that metal vise-like thing to crack open the shell; using those teeny tiny little forks to dig out a small morsel of crab; dipping it into...

Re: TUESDAY SERVICE PLAYS
New York Mets @ Los Angeles Angels
PICK: Los Angeles Angels
This has to be a difficult game for the Mets to play. Willie Randolph's firing cannot come as a surprise but the timing of it can surely be questioned. About two hours after the Mets beat the Angels last night in Anaheim (shortly after midnight, according to reports), Randolph was let go. And so it goes in the big leagues. Johan Santana will take the mound for the Mets and his first season in New York has not been a unqualified success. He was "booed off" the Shea Stadium mound in a loss to Milwaukee back on April 12 but went on to go 6-1 (team was 7-1) over his next eight starts. However, in his last two outings, despite allowing just one ER in 13 innings (0.69 ERA) with 15 Ks and only four walks, the Mets have lost 2-1 and 5-4. He'll have a tough time here against the Angels, who are 13-3 this season vs lefties and while he hasn't faced the Angels since 2005, his history against them is rather mediocre (compared to his standards). He's 2-3 with a 4.05 ERA in 10 appearances (eight starts) all time vs the Angels. As for the Mets, they will have their hands full with LA's John Lackey. Lackey went 19-9 (3.01 ERA) last year but began this season on the DL. However, he's shown no rust at all since his return (first start wasn't until May 14), posting a 1.83 ERA in six starts (he's 3-1 and the team is 4-2). Take the Angels.
Re: TUESDAY SERVICE PLAYS
Andre Gomes
Game: Los Angeles Lakers @ Boston Celtics
Pick: 3 units Under 191.5
Game 6 of this final with the real possibility of having a new champion today, in case Boston wins at home today. Having in account their two games at home and the heart they've showed in these last two games, the team of Boston is clearly favorite today, however, the Lakers have still a shot to at least take the decision to a Game 7. Today's lines favor Boston by 4 points and the totals line is at 191,5 points which fits in the previous lines of this series [191,5 - 195,5]. And it's exactly in the totals where we can get more value from this game. After three games at LA, today's game will be at Boston, which obligated the teams to a very long and tiring trip from the West coast to the East. For you to have an idea of how tiring was the comeback trip to Boston, the trip was six hours long and if we add more three hours which have involved all the other procedures, we have a notion of what the players needed to pass. To make things even worse, the team of Boston was stopped in the airport thanks to a delay in their flight:
"As of 4 p.m. EDT today, the Celtics' plane was still on the ground in Los Angeles due to mechanical issues.At 5:30 p.m., Celtics radio announcer Cedric Maxwell reported on sports radio WEEI that a 757 had been flown in to take the Celtics back to Boston on a direct flight."
If we add all of this to the most important: between the Game 5 and today's game there was just one day to rest (day that was mostly used to comeback to Boston), something that will clearly cause problems to both teams today. From the last time this happened, we see two teams completely out of the game in the offense, it was in the Game 3 of this series, where the series come to LA from Boston, with just one day to rest between games. This game ended 87-81, with both teams not reaching 70% FT and in the total not even 40% FG was reached. It's also important to say that not only the physical tiredness will be important today, as the psychological tiredness starts also to be noticed, as we are not talking about a Game 3, but a Game 6, which can be the last game of this finals.
"It's a terrible turnaround," said Celtics coach Doc Rivers. "It's as tough as you can have. I think going West to East is tougher. Sleep patterns are messed up.
In the Games 4 and 5, the Lakers started the games with an amazing fashions, outscoring the Celtics in the first quarter by 35-14 and 39-22, which obligated Boston to play on a faster way than they were supposed to play, in order to have an edge over the Lakers. If in the Game 4 this tactic worked of just putting Garnett in the frontcourt and using a small lineup, it didn't work in the Game 5, as Boston ended up losing the game. In the Game 5, Garnett played 33:06, Powe 4:59 and PJ Brown 23:53. Well, today that won't happen for sure! First of all, it will be almost impossible to watch LA having such advantage in the beginning of the game and especially as Boston doesn't have any benefit from playing on a fast paced game against the Lakers, they won the Game 4 playing like that, but the way Boston has dominated the whole season was thanks to an amazing half court defense, obligating their opponents to shoot on very hard positions. It's also important to refer that Perkins was out in the Game 5 and even though his presence isn't guaranteed for today, Boston couldn't adapt his absence on Game 5, as Garnett was in foul trouble very early in the game.
So with the scenario of this game, we are in front of a game which will have few points, with both teams giving everything they have, but without the necessary conditions to do well in the offense, thanks to their physical and psychological tiredness, so with a line similar to the line of the previous games of the series, my bet in here is clearly the under.

Chicago Cubs at Tampa Bay Rays
The Tampa Bay Rays are 6-1 in Scott Kazmir last 7 starts, 4-0 in his last 4 at home and have won six of the lefthander?s last 7 interleague starts. Take the Rays at home. Tampa has won 22 of their last 25 games at Tropicana Field. Chicago Cubs ace Ryan Dempster has a perfect 8-0 record at home, but the Cubs are just 2-5 in right-hander's last 7 road starts.
Tampa Bay Rays - 140
Lakers at Boston
Look for the Celtics outstanding defensive play to put an end to this series and capture the NBA Championship tonight in Boston, where they are 12-1 in the playoffs. The Celtics have covered the spread in the last seven games against Los Angeles.
Boston Celtics - 4½
Re: TUESDAY SERVICE PLAYS
B!G AL's INTERLEAGUE BASEBALL GAME OF THE YEAR!
At 10:15pm our selection is on the Detroit Tigers over the San Francisco Giants. Too bad the Tigers can't be doing as well overall this season as they are in Interleague play. Going into tonight's game against San Francisco, the Tigers are 4-3 on the year against National League teams while their overall record remains well under .500 at 32-38. This will be a battle of two lefties: one veteran and one youngster as Detroit's 43-year-old Kenny Rogers takes on San Francisco's 25-year-old Jonathan Sanchez. This will mark the fourth different American League team that Rogers has pitched for in Interleague regular season play against the Giants and overall he's done pretty well going 4-1 so far. Rogers has also seen quite a resurgence lately in general, having given up only four earned runs in his last four starts covering 29 innings. Detroit also figures to fare pretty well against Sanchez as they are hitting 28 points higher against lefties vs. righties, .289 vs. 261, and are 11-5 in those games vs. lefty starters (compared to 21-33 vs. righties!). Going into tonight's game, the Tigers had won six of their last seven games and eight of their last ten. And, more impressively, the Tigers are 33-10 their last 43 Interleague games vs. the NL, and 39-20 their last 59 vs. lefties. Interleague Game of the Year on Detroit.

30 Dime –
Lay the points with the Celtics in Game 6 tonight over the Lakers.
This is it folks, the Celtics are your 2008 NBA Champs!
It still baffles me that the linemaker gives the Lakers this much respect at this point in the series. It's painfully obvious that the Celtics are winning in all phases of the game, they have been better coached and they've risen to the occasion when called upon.
That and serious matchup problems for the Lakers make this a lock for the Celtics tonight.
Look, Pau Gasol was taken out of the series right at the opening tip in Game 1. It's not his fault; he's just not good enough to go against Kevin Garnett. The Big Ticket has been the main reason the Lakers have looked out of sorts on offense for long stretches in this series.
When Gasol came over the Lakers immediately had a scoring threat at center that they sorely needed. It opened up the floor for Kobe and gave him more scoring options to play off.
With Gasol being locked down, Kobe has to force the issue and his secondary options are not getting it done for him.
Boston has grabbed the cash in every game of this series and is on a 6-0 ATS run. Los Angeles has fallen into a 3-7 ATS rut in its last 10.
Now back at the Garden, the Celtics will enjoy the home court advantage and the intensity of the crowd just waiting to erupt in celebration. Couple that with the defensive intensity Boston has shown in this series and you have all the ingredients for a win and cover here.
Lay the points with the Celtics as they win the championship and cover.
5 Dime –
REDS (With Cueto as listed pitcher)
Take the Reds for the home win over the Dodgers.
The Dodgers have been playing putrid lately; losing 17 of 23 games since May 23, and have lost their last five by a combined 35-12 score. They have been limited to one or no runs in 12 of those 23 games.
The Dodgers will start Chad Billingsley, whose last win came on May 20. Los Angeles is winless in his last four starts mainly because they've given him just six total runs of support in those games.
Johnny Cueto will start for the Reds and he's 2-1 with a 5.50 ERA over his last three starts, but those numbers are a bit skewered after he gave up six runs in five innings of a 10-0 loss to St. Louis in his last start.
Cueto should be able to get back on the right track against this pop gun Dodgers offense.
Take the Reds as they grab the home win.
Re: TUESDAY SERVICE PLAYS
Indian Cowboy:
Detroit Tigers @ San Francisco Giants
3 units MONEYLINE: San Francisco Giants +105
Jonathan Sanchez has pitched pretty well this season for San Francisco. San Fran is actually 11-3 in his starts this year even though he only has 6 of the wins on his record. The Tigers on the other hand are 7-7 in Kenny Rogers' starts. Sanchez has won his last 3 starts. Detroit has been playing well lately which is why we can get this game at this low of a cost, but SF has been the better team for most of the year. The Giants won last night which means they are now 7-3 in their last 10 games against teams with a losing record. The Giants have always been a good play against left handed starters and the price is right in tonight's game.
Los Angeles Lakers @ Boston Celtics
3 units (Play of the Day) TOTAL: Over 191.5
There's going to be a lot of adrenaline flowing in Game 6 tonight between the Celtics and the Lakers. The highest scoring game of the series was the last one in Boston. Boston should not struggle from the floor as much as they did at times in LA. You've heard me say a thousand times that active dogs lead to overs. LA is going to be scraping and fighting to push it to a game 7 tonight. Whether they get it done or not I don't know but I think that they stay close at least and push the game over the total in Boston tonight.

Chicago Cubs vs. Tampa Bay Rays
Play: Chicago Cubs
Tampa Bay is 16-42 when playing on Tuesday last 3 years. Cubs are 6-1 their last 7 games overall. Cubs are scoring 5.5 runs per game overall this year and an amazing 6.9 runs per game against left handed starters this season. Cubs bullpen has a 3.20 ERA overall this year and a 3.19 ERA on the road this season. Tampa Bay is scoring only 4.5 runs per game overall this year and 4.3 runs per game at home this season. Dempster is 8-2 with a 2.81 ERA overall, has a 2.59 ERA on the road and is 2-0 his last 3 starts. We'll recommend a small play on the Chicago Cubs tonight!
Re: TUESDAY SERVICE PLAYS
Bob Harvey Sports
Take LA Dodgers and Cincinnati Reds UNDER 9.
The Dodgers look to snap a season high-tying five-game losing streak Tuesday night when they open a three-game road series against the Reds. Though they're in second place in the weak NL West, the Dodgers (31-38) have yet to perform like a team bound for the postseason. They've lost 17 of 23 games since May 23, including their last five by a combined 35-12 to fall a season-worst seven games below .500.
The Reds (33-38) haven't fared much better than the Dodgers lately, losing nine of their last 14 and getting shut out three times in that stretch. They were held to six hits in a 9-0 loss to Boston on Sunday. Cincinnati could struggle again tonight against Chad Billingsley whose last win came against the Reds on May 20. Billingsley, who grew up in Defiance, Ohio, pitched seven scoreless innings in that 4-1 victory, improving to 1-1 with a 0.68 ERA in three career games - two starts - against Cincinnati. The Dodgers are winless in Billingsley's last four starts, in part because they've given the right-hander six total runs of support in those games. Cincinnati will counter with rookie Johnny Cueto who is making his second start against the Dodgers. He allowed four runs - two earned - in five innings of a 5-2 loss May 21.
Re: TUESDAY SERVICE PLAYS
Dr. Bob
L.A. Lakers at BOSTON Under 191½
My ratings favor Boston by 4 points with a total of 191 ½ points, so the posted line is right where it should be for game 6. There are no significant situations favoring either side in this game, although road teams are 8-2 ATS in game 6 of the NBA Finals the last 19 years. The Under is also 8-2 in game 6 of the NBA finals and the final few games of a series tend to be lower scoring – especially when both teams are good. In fact, the Under is 52-25 in game 5, 6, or 7 of a playoff series if both teams have a win percentage of .666 or higher. I'll lean with the Under at 191 points or higher and I have no opinion on the side.

The benefits of a low-TDP processor are obvious, but a usual downside is also obvious: low clock speeds. Intel's changing that thinking with their Core 2 Quad "S" series, which includes the Q9550S, Q9400S and also the Q8200S. Compared to their non-"S" variants, they draw less power and run cooler, all while retaining the performance they've become known for.
Autodesk's 3ds Max is without question an industry standard when it comes to 3D modeling and animation, with DreamWorks, BioWare and Blizzard Entertainment being a few of its notable users. It's a multi-threaded application that's designed to be right at home on multi-core and multi-processor workstations or render farms, so it easily tasks even the biggest system we can currently throw at it.
For our testing, we use two project files that are designed to last long enough to find any weakness in our setup and also allows us to find a result that's easily comparable between both motherboards and processors. The first project is a dog model included on recent 3ds Max DVD's, which we infused with some Techgage flavor.
Our second project is a Bathroom scene that makes heavy use of ray tracing. Like the dog model, this one is also included with the application's sample files DVD. The dog is rendered at a 1100×825 resolution, while the Bathroom is rendered as 1080p (1920×1080).
Once again, our Q9400's don't vary much in their results, and that's a theme we'll be able to expect to see all throughout this article. Both CPUs are identical aside from the TDP, as mentioned, so the performance isn't supposed to vary in least, and that's evidenced well here.
The Q8200S is an interesting target though, since this is the first time we've had one in our lab. For Intel's lowest-priced 45nm Quad-Core offering (assuming we are dealing with the non-"S" version), it's quite a performer. It costs less than the Dual-Core E8600, but when it comes to heavily multi-threaded applications like this, it leaves any Dual-Core in the dust.
Like 3DS Max, Cinema 4D is another popular cross-platform 3D graphics application that's used by new users and experts alike. Its creators, Maxon, are well aware that their users are interested in huge computers to speed up rendering times, which is one reason why they released Cinebench to the public.
Cinebench R10 is based on the Cinema 4D engine and the test consists of rendering a high-resolution model of a motorcycle and gives a score at the end. Like most other 3D applications on the market, Cinebench will take advantage of as many cores as you can throw at it.
Even though we expect to see identical performance between both of our Q9400's, it's still fun to see just how close each one of their scores came, especially since they were tabulated by running each test three times and then averaging them. This test also shows-off the slower clock-speed of the Q8200S, which, in the single-threaded test, actually falls behind the inexpensive Pentium E5200. The Q8200S well makes up for it in any multi-threaded application, however.
Similar to Cinebench, the "Persistence of Vision Ray Tracer" is as you'd expect, a ray tracing application that also happens to be cross-platform. It allows you to take your environment and models and apply a ray tracing algorithm, based on a script you either write yourself or borrow from others. It's a free application and has become a standard in the ray tracing community and some of the results that can be seen are completely mind-blowing.
The official version of POV-Ray is 3.6, but the 3.7 beta unlocks the ability to take full advantage of a multi-core processor, which is why we use it in our testing. Applying ray tracing algorithms can be extremely system intensive, so this is one area where multi-core processors will be of true benefit.
For our test, we run the built-in benchmark, which delivers a simple score (Pixels-Per-Second) the the end. The higher, the better. If one score is twice another, it does literally mean it rendered twice as fast.
Following tradition, the Q9400's are neck-and-neck, which is exactly what we want to see. The Q8200S also performs quite well in its multi-threaded test, but I have to admit, it's hard to get too excited with anything Core 2 when we see just what kind of monsters the i7 chips are where ray tracing is concerned.

PH-Malaysia war exercise fosters ties
CITY OF SAN FERNANDO, Philippines—The Philippine and Malaysian armies concluded a two-week battle simulation exercise at Camp O'Donnell in Capas, Tarlac, on Sunday.
Gathered at the Armed Forces of the Philippines Peacekeeping Operations Center at the camp, Lt. Gen. Noel Coballes and Gen. Datuk Raja Mohamed Affandi Bin Raja Mohamed Noor declared Land MALPHI 14-2013 closed, citing "stronger ties" as a result of the bilateral exercise.
"The overarching goal of Land MALPHI Exercise is to provide the venue where both the armies of the Philippines and Malaysia can work and operate together in a simulated conventional environment to address the various defense and security challenges confronting our respective countries," Coballes, the Philippine Army chief, said in a statement.
At least 70 Filipino and 40 Malaysian officers took part in the command post and battle simulation exercise.
The exercise, the statement said, adopted a "conventional operational setting that is centered on the Malaysian forces coming in aid of the Philippine forces to defend the latter's territory from a national invading force."
Col. Wilson Marie Reyes, the exercise director, said the objectives were met.—Tonette Orejas, Inquirer Central Luzon

Four Cows, 1989
Price on Request
Per Maning's exhibition 'New Works and Revisits' will display a wide variety of works, ranging from the 1980s until present time; showing both Maning's highly celebrated animal portraits and his most recent works, on which he has altered his attention to the human kind.
Though the focus in Maning's works seems to have changed, the theme remains the same, as he does not differentiate between humans and animals. According to Maning, the similarity between human and animal, lays in the animal, which is why Manings works continues to contribute to a relevant discourse in modern art; the relationship between humans and other species. The reoccurring underline in his works is human nature, identity and otherness. Through his works Maning shows the viewer that identity is not solely reliant on gender, race or nationality; it is also based on our ability to recognize ourselves in animals.
Although his works exhibit rigorousness and technical brilliance, technology is merely a tool to Maning. His works are not results of successful compositions or of an interest in aesthetics, and although his expressions are drastically simplified, Maning is not a modernist. His intention is to make the images transparent and the photographer unseen, allowing himself, and the viewer through him, to identify himself in the work, to the point where an equal encounter with an other, that being human or animal, makes communication possible.

I've included several personal posts about a move overseas in this business blog for the following reasons:
- Because I LOVE leading change.
- Because there was a season of our lives, that was filled with continuous unwanted change. …So much so that it was like being hit with enormous waves, each one would knock us down, we would stand again, and another would hit. It was such a confusing and painful time that to this day tears surface when I think about it. When the waves stopped crashing there was not much about our lives that looked the same. And then the transformation within us began.
- Because individuals and organizations need direction and encouragement as they navigate their own seasons of change. (Did you know that year after year, Critical Human Capital Issues continue to be change related?)
My hope is:
- That by sharing the details and the emotions of our expat journey that you or someone you love will find encouragement for whatever you are in the midst of.
- That you will be reminded that you are not alone in the struggle to navigate change.
- That you will find inspiration and answers for the changes you are navigating.
- That when you are ready, you will help others by sharing your story!
"The single best way to develop leaders is to take people out of their safe environments, and away from the people they know, and throw them into a new arena they know little about. Way over their head, preferably. In fact the more demanding their challenges, the more pressure and risk they face, the more likely a dynamic leader will emerge." Bruce Wilkinson

It is interesting to note that In the first few months that my husband and I were dating, we attended a retreat together. At one point in the weekend we were given a poem, and asked to read it to everyone in attendance. At the time we made our decision, we did not think about the poem, but as our journey begins I wonder if we were being prepared way back then for this season in our lives…
To laugh is to risk appearing the fool. To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.
To reach out for another is to risk involvement. To expose feeling is to risk exposing your true self. To place your ideas, your dreams before the crowd, is to risk their loss.
To love is to risk not being loved in return. To live is to risk dying. To hope is to risk despair. To try is to risk failure.
But risk MUST be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. The person who risks nothing does nothing, has nothing, and is nothing.
He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn, feel, change, grow, love, live. Chained by his certitudes, he is a slave; he has forfeited freedom.
Only a person who risks is free.

Playoff strategy "tournament"?
So there has been some discussion in another thread of how much it makes sense to balance lineups vs concentrating firepower so I thought it might be fun for people to test out their theories a bit. This could fall flat or it could be interesting- we might as well try.
Lets set up a tournament bracket on the board where the rules are simple. We will have people sign up and create a bracket. There will be 5 lines of doubles to make it easy. You will have a roster of 15 players. Your goal every week is to take 3 of the 5 lines. If people are interested in this then and it works out we will try other scenarios. (Teams that are imbalanced, teams where you don't know what availability the other team has, etc)
The way it would work would be that you PM me a "lineup" of your 5 lines with your pairings. Player 15 is your best player, player 1 is your worst player. We will do this USTA style where there are no sandbagging rules.
So as an example you might send me
line 1- 15 + 14 = 29
line 2- 9 + 13 = 22
line 3- 6 + 7 = 13
line 4- 8 + 12 = 20
line 5- 10 + 11 = 21
I will compare you to your opponent and post the winner. Highest point value at any line wins. If there is a tie then I will flip a coin. I think that other tiebreakers would be too controversial... say 10 and 9 face 12 and 7. Personally I'd put my money on 12 and 7 but other people would bet on 10 and 9 so for now we will just do a coinflip.
I will post all the results between rounds so it would be similar to USTA where you can look up results of teams. Then you will send me your next round lineup and we will repeat. In this one teams are exactly even.
Anyway- this very well may be too nerdy and only of interest to me and I can accept that. But if you would like to participate post here and we will see how it goes. I just think it would be interesting to see how different strategies play out across different rounds.
If you are trying to mimic the USTA leagues, you should call the 5 lines: yellow, blue, green, red and orange and not give them numerical labels.
If some captains want to win line 1 so the rest of their team is inspired that is their decision. The lines will be played in order where the first team to take 3 points wins and if you put your best players at lines 4 and 5 then you take the risk that they won't matter. (yes... I know... but this is a rationale I have heard many a captain use. I've seriously thought about doing this with cards and flipping them over 1 pile at a time just to make that exact point)
Interesting idea but I already have my hands full just trying to manage my actual USTA team, let alone another fantasy team :)
What might be interesting is to just run a simulation of equal teams with different strategies to see what happens.
If we had the DNTRP we could look at real matches and see if the combination of players played on different lines if the end result would have been materially different.
I've played enough in my local league to know the better and worse players and looking at the match ups last year there were all kinds of strategies that the captains used to try to get the team win. Some played their strongest pairs at D2 and D3 basically giving up D1 and others randomly putting their best pair at all of the different doubles lines throughout the season.
The teams without the depth of talent but with crafty captains definitely did better than expected by rotating their stronger pairings.
If several people wanted to PM their idea for a lineup then I would be happy to run their lineups against all other people that submitted them to show this. But in the end it simply would depend on what you think that your opponent would choose to do and what their biases are.
In the classic game theory version of this game you would simply have 100 units that you could place across the 5 lines however you wish. so you could do
96 1 1 1 1
some people think you woudl go balanced with
20 20 20 20 20
Of course that loses 1-4 against a team that dumps a line with
0 25 25 25 25
which always loses to a team that dumps 2 lines
0 0 33 33 34
which almost always loses to a team that puts out 2 great lines and 3 mediocre ones.
5 5 5 42 43
Which always loses to the balanced team of
20 20 20 20 20
And of course this is the situation with equal numbers. THink about the situation where one team had 80 points to play with and the other team had 100. The strategies change a great deal.
I certainly wouldn't expect a strategy that aims to get equal playing time to work the best against one that runs out the 8 strongest players all the time, regardless of what courts are played. The question is, how much of a deficit does this put the "equal playing time" team at and does it affect team won/lost or just individual court won/lost? This is the simulation that would be interesting to look at.
