AC Milan boss Max Allegri insists he's happy with Alexandre Pato.
And the coach also says he doesn't plan to swap the Brazilian for Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli.
"He is fine and happy, so there is no Pato controversy," said Allegri. "He is young and has extraordinary quality, so he just needs to learn, much like everyone else.
"Let's not forget he hasn't played much due to injury, but still scored eight Serie A and goals and two in the Coppa Italia. He simply requires more concentration and over time the rapport with Ibra will improve.
"Mario Balotelli? I have Pato and will keep hold of him. He'll do well in the end, like all the others who have suffered injuries."

'No One Can Have Enough of Bhangra'
He believes in celebrating life. "And what better way of doing it than with the bhangra?" asks the Londonbased bhangra pop singer Malkit Singh who was recently honoured with the 'Most Excellent Order Of The British Empire' (MBE) by Queen Elizabeth II at a spectacular ceremony in London.
And soon after the ceremony, Malkit decided to touch down in India "to share the good news with my father and other close relatives," he says, adding, "Although sadly, I lost my mother this year. I wish she was here to be part of the celebration."
Needless to say, the celebrations in Punjab, he goes on, "were unbelievable. It was all so amazing. I never imagined that so many people in India wanted to express their happiness at the honour I have received. They too wanted to celebrate with me. In fact, even the Punjab CM had called up to congratulate me. It was all so amazing."
The guy, who was among the first to make bhangra beats so popular on the dance floor, says the dance-form enjoys tremendous popularity in Britain. "Everyone there, not just Indians, just can't have enough of the bhangra. You may not believe this, but most of the popular nightclubs in Britain play Indian music, and when the DJ plays a Punjabi song track, everyone goes crazy," smiles Malkit.
Ask him if the movie world has beckoned and he says, "It has, but I want to do something really exciting. It's always better to wait for something really worthwhile, and when it does, only then will I take up anything in Bollywood."
While music keeps him busy most of the time, Malkit does find enough time to spend with his family. "Frankly, my wife and three kids keep me more busy than my work. But they have been a great support and have always encouraged me all through," he smiles.
And, is any one of his children keen on following his footsteps? "No, as a father, I'd like to see my daughters settled down and married as soon as possible in the US. At least, isi bahane wahan ghoomne ka bar bar mauka mil jayega," laughs Malkit.

All our cats love this food. The cans are small however so we have to open a lot of them and the price gets prohibitive with a larger quantity of cats...as we have.
Pros: Our cats love it

Emergency Committee Hits Liberal Groups
But real target is President Obama
This morning, the Emergency Committee for Israel, the group created two years ago to push the Republican take on U.S.-Israel relations, published a full-page ad in the New York Times (viewable here) attacking the Center for American Progress and Media Matters, two liberal groups, for "bigotry and anti-Israel extremism." It listed the names and numbers of prominent funders and encouraged concerned citizens to call. Regarding Media Matters, it cited and quoted Alan Dershowitz and Spencer Ackerman. In fact, it quoted Ackerman's January article in Tablet Magazine, in which he argued, as a liberal Jew, that the term "Israel Firster" is the wrong way for the left to win the war of ideas regarding Israel.
The Forward's Jane Eisner argues that the scalps ECI wants aren't CAP or Media Matters: it's President Obama, in advance of the AIPAC Conference. And she reports that Dershowitz did not approve the ad, and indeed, according to an email, does not approve of it; Ackerman tweeted, "I didnt approve that & ECI are clowns." (Eisner also calls Dershowitz and Ackerman "Jewish leaders." Made it, ma, top o' the world!)
On ECI's Website, Dershowitz' article, from which his quote is taken, is linked to, but Ackerman's article isn't. There, Ackerman wrote, "'Israel Firster' has a nasty anti-Semitic pedigree." He also wrote:
If what [Media Matters' M.J.] Rosenberg and the others on the left want is a debate—by which I understand them to mean a debate about the wisdom of a war with Iran, and about the proper role of the U.S.-Israel relationship—great. The left, I think, will win that debate on the merits, because it recognizes that if Israel is to survive as a Jewish democracy living in peace beside a free Palestine, an assertive United States has to pressure a recalcitrant Israel to come to its senses, especially about the insanity of attacking Iran.
But that debate will be shut down and sidetracked by using a term that Charles Lindbergh or Pat Buchanan would be comfortable using. I can't co-sign that. The attempt to kosherize "Israel Firster" is an ugly rationalization. It shouldn't matter that the American Jewish right proliferates the term "anti-Israel." The easiest way to lose a winnable argument is to get baited into using their tactics.

Some agencies' lapses allow for unfit caregivers, study finds
Some agencies' lapses allow for unfit caregivers, study finds
CHICAGO ---- Patrice Kadlec needed someone to help take care of her elderly father in his Oak Park, Ill., home, and she needed someone fast. Kadlec works full time, and her father, who has Parkinson's disease and related dementia, was being discharged from the hospital the next day after treatment for bladder cancer.
Kadlec scanned a long list of service providers she had received from a local organization that helps senior citizens. With panic setting in, she picked one.
Nearly a year later, she has changed agencies three times. She encountered a paid caregiver who begged for money, a worker who left her father in soiled adult diapers all day and another who was argumentative to the point of being scary.
"I was panic-stricken a lot of the time wondering what was taking place in my absence," Kadlec said.
People who hire caregivers for elderly family members might assume that agencies conduct drug testing and thorough criminal background checks, and that prospective employees have been painstakingly vetted to make sure they are experienced, competent and trained for the job.
But that is not always the case, according to a recent Northwestern University study that found many agencies do a poor job of making sure caregivers are safe, reliable and capable.
Among the study's findings: Some agencies recruit workers from Craigslist and place them in the homes of older people with dementia without checking for criminal convictions or assessing whether they are qualified. Many agencies don't do national criminal background checks or drug testing. And some agencies lie about testing caregivers' qualifications, don't require experience in the job and don't provide training.
"Our results brought forth some alarming issues among agencies that hire caregivers," said lead author Dr. Lee Lindquist, a geriatrician and associate professor of medicine at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. "There are good agencies and bad agencies, and consumers need to be educated about what to look for."
The study looked at five states with large populations of older adults ----- Illinois, California, Arizona, Florida and Wisconsin ----- plus two other states, Indiana and Colorado.
Paid caregivers include a large category of workers such as personal care attendants, private duty attendants, home care aides, direct care workers and sitters.
The National Private Duty Association, which represents more than 1,300 home care companies, acknowledged that some agencies don't do a good job but took issue with the study, criticizing it for painting all agencies with the same brush.
"The study's findings are not representative of the hiring, training and supervisory practices of the members of the NPDA who adhere to high standards and industry best practices," the organization said in a written statement.
Its member agencies employ, train, bond, insure and supervise their caregivers, who provide a variety of care, including homemaker services, companionship and home health care, the statement said.
Lindquist said the purpose of the study wasn't to vilify all agencies, because they serve a critical role.
"What we're trying to say is, don't go with the agency with the pretty website or a good story," she said. "You need to vet the website and what they tell you (over the phone) and look into it more."

Blue Jays option Thigpen, make room for Overbay
By Associated Press
TORONTO -- The Toronto Blue Jays optioned catcher/infielder Curtis Thigpen to Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday, clearing a spot on the roster for first baseman Lyle Overbay, who is expected to rejoin the team following the All-Star break.
Overbay has been on the 15-day disabled list since June 3, when he broke his right hand after being hit by a pitch from Chicago White Sox left-hander John Danks. Overbay began a rehabilitation assignment with Double-A New Hampshire on Friday and hit a grand slam on Saturday.
Called up when Overbay was injured, the 23-year-old Thigpen appeared in 17 games behind the plate and at first base, batting .270 with no homers and four RBIs.

Haren, Peavy get starting nods for All-Star game
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Dan Haren will start the All-Star game for the American League just across the bay from his home ballpark in Oakland.
The Athletics' ace was picked by AL manager Jim Leyland on Monday to oppose San Diego's Jake Peavy, who will start for Tony La Russa's National League squad in Tuesday night's game.
San Francisco slugger Barry Bonds will bat second for the NL squad instead of his usual place in the cleanup spot in the lineup. Bonds hasn't started a game in the No. 2 hole since 1987, when he did four times in his second year in the majors with Pittsburgh. La Russa told Bonds of the decision on Sunday when the Giants were in St. Louis.
"We like to get the pitchers attention right away so Barry Bonds is going to hit second," La Russa said.
With Barry Zito gone through free agency and Rich Harden unable to stay healthy, Haren has become the ace of Oakland's staff. He took a sub-2.00 ERA into July and is 10-3 with an AL-leading 2.30 ERA at the break.
After losing his first two starts -- despite allowing one earned run in 13 innings -- Haren reeled off 10 straight wins before losing to Seattle on Friday night. That loss wasn't enough to cost him his All-Star start as he beat out Cleveland's C.C. Sabathia, Detroit's Justin Verlander, Boston's Josh Beckett and the Angels' John Lackey for the honor.
"I'd be lying if I didn't say it was a nice extra touch since he pitches right across the bay in Oakland," Leyland said. "If the game was in Cleveland it would probably be Sabathia. If it was in Detroit, probably Verlander."
Many questioned the A's when they traded Mark Mulder to St. Louis for Haren about five months after Mulder started the 2004 All-Star game. Haren quickly silenced those doubters by winning 14 games in each of his first two seasons in Oakland. This year has been by far his best.
"I'll be in awe, that's for sure of the team playing behind me," Haren said.
Peavy earned the start for the NL, part of a remarkable turnaround from a rare off year. Peavy struggled to an 11-14 record with a 4.09 ERA last season in his worst year since becoming a full-time starter in 2003.
But he got off to a fast start this season, shutting the Giants out for six innings in an opening day win at the same ballpark that will host the All-Star game. Peavy is 9-3 with a 2.19 ERA that trails only teammate Chris Young in the NL.
"It's a great honor to be chosen," Peavy said. "There are a lot of deserving guys."
Peavy is the third Padres pitcher to start an All-Star game, joining LaMarr Hoyt in 1985 and Randy Jones in 1976.
La Russa's batting order for the game has New York Mets shortstop Jose Reyes leading off, followed by Bonds, CF Carlos Beltran, Mets; RF Ken Griffey Jr., Reds; 3B David Wright, Mets; 1B Prince Fielder, Brewers; C Russell Martin, Dodgers; and 2B Chase Utley, Phillies.
This will mark the first time that Bonds and Griffey, two of baseball's greatest sluggers ever, are in the same lineup for any game. They were both selected as All-Stars in 2000 but missed the game in Atlanta with injuries. In 2004, Bonds played for the NL in Houston but Griffey missed the game with an injury.
Leyland selected Seattle center fielder Ichiro Suzuki as his leadoff hitter, followed by SS Derek Jeter, Yankees; 1B David Ortiz, Red Sox; 3B Alex Rodriguez, Yankees; RF Vladimir Guerrero, Angels; LF Magglio Ordonez, Tigers; C Ivan Rodriguez, Tigers; 2B Placido Polanco, Tigers.
"I put all of the Tigers down in the order so no one would say I was favoring the Tigers," Leyland said.

Blue Jays release Zambrano
July 9th, 2007
Toronto, ON (Sports Network) - The Toronto Blue Jays released pitcher Victor Zambrano on Monday.
The 31-year-old Zambrano is best known as the player the New York Mets obtained in the trade that sent promising young southpaw Scott Kazmir to Tampa Bay.
Zambrano went just 8-14 for New York, and was shut down last May to have surgery on his pitching elbow.
He was signed by the Blue Jays in the offseason and went 0-2 with a 10.97 earned run average for the club before hitting the disabled list once again with a strained right forearm on May 9.
In parts of seven seasons with the Devil Rays, Mets and Blue Jays, Zambrano has a 45-43 record with a 4.55 ERA.

Although Steinbeck didn't use the bigoted language that was so common at the time, he was nevertheless implying that the "blood" of the Mexican workers wasn't "strong," that democracy didn't come naturally to them, when the opposite was true: Organizers found the Mexicans more willing to stand up for their rights.
I wrote up a paper about the research and managed to get it accepted at a conference in Baltimore—an encouraging experience for a relatively green graduate student. Louis was pleased, and so was I. But he knew why I felt that the work was incomplete: More than anything, I told him, I wanted to speak to the Mexican workers who had taken part in the strike. Only then would the research feel comprehensive.
Sixty years after the event, of course, that was pure fantasy. There was almost no information about any of the thousands of people who had struck. Many weren't American citizens, and all of them worked seasonally, with few having fixed addresses. Finding a 1933 migrant worker in 1993? It was never going to happen.
The Novels
Still, I felt that I had something interesting to tell my own Mexican family as I traveled home to Southern California for the short winter break at the end of 1993. The research had made me curious about the stories I'd heard regarding my grandfather, Antonio Ortega, who'd been a nightclub musician in gangster-controlled San Bernardino in the 1940s. It was time, I thought, to shift my research to the subject of my own family. And there was a reason not to put it off: My grandfather was recovering from a heart attack, and the news was not encouraging.
The Ortegas, like many other Mexicans, came to the United States during the early days of the revolution in 1910. My great-grandparents had come from Chihuahua in the north and Guanajuato in central Mexico. Both of my father's parents, Antonio Ortega and Virginia Mendoza, were born in California, even though their first language was Spanish and most of the people they knew were Mexican (no one used the term "Mexican-American" when they were growing up and, even into old age, my grandparents divided the world into us "Mexicans" and you "Americans," even though they were born as U.S. citizens).
My grandparents had lived their entire lives in California's Inland Empire, and when I came to visit them, they were living in a mobile home in Yucaipa. I was shocked by my grandfather's appearance; he was shriveled now, such a little man, when my memories of him were so different. But when I announced my project—to interview them about the old days—they both seemed thrilled, and the ailments plaguing them both suddenly became more tolerable.
Tell me about the nightclubs, I asked, knowing that it was something my grandfather actually wanted to put behind him. ("I feel like I've wasted my life," he once told me, and I begged him not to think that way.) For decades, Tony had performed in restaurants and clubs, playing American and Mexican music on a keyboard with a small band he called his "orchestra." To me, it was magic to hear about his nights in the clubs, especially during the rough days of prewar San Bernardino, when the town was run by gangsters from the East.
The mobsters had divided the town in half, controlling gambling and prostitution. They operated lively joints where Tony's orchestra found steady employment, giving him a front-row seat for the underworld action. He watched as mob bosses like Johnny Russo plied local politicians with booze and favors so they wouldn't interfere with his operations. Russo in particular liked Tony's band and his look; in those days, my grandfather was a beefy man with a tough appearance. Russo would take him to sit ringside at prizefights in Riverside, and he enjoyed it when people got the impression that Tony was his bodyguard. The gangster's esteem for my grandfather became so great that, in 1939, Russo asked him to take over the management of a bar he owned in San Bernardino's red-light district. It was a stunning offer—one that would have meant a considerable increase in income and a very different life for the Ortegas.
But my grandfather turned him down flat. "It wasn't for me," he said.
He explained that he might let a gangster take him to a prizefight, but he wasn't a man to get involved with the rackets. It was a smart decision: By 1942, the town had been cleaned up and Russo had been deported.
Tony, meanwhile, had joined the Army and was stationed in New York and Texas during the war. After coming home, he helped found an American Legion hall in Redlands—Post 650—because the other one in town wouldn't accept Mexican-American veterans.
And he went back to playing music. At the peak of his popularity, he even landed a regular gig in the early days of television. On Sunday mornings in 1948, a local station broadcast a musical show sponsored by a San Bernardino car dealership that featured my grandfather's orchestra.
I soaked up his stories and those of my grandmother. She often sang for the band, and the two of them swore that Lucky Luciano himself had taken in one of their shows when San Bernardino was still mobbed up.

North Korea joke slips over China's Great Firewall
Jeremy Goldkorn, director of Danwei.com, a firm that researches Chinese media and Internet, said that one of the peculiarities of the Chinese news business is that stories can be freely shared by any other media outlet in their entirety, or edited, as long as the original source is credited somewhere on the page.
"It does mean that stuff gets circulated a lot more widely because you don't have intellectual property restrictions on articles that you would in the U.S. for example," he said. "So when you mix that up with this culture of no fact-checking and not really having a news editor whose main job is seeking truth, then what you get is The Onion being taken seriously in the People's Daily."

The Marrakech-Tensift-El Haouz Region
Marrakech has the largest traditional market (souk) in Morocco and also has the busiest square in the entire continent of Africa, called Djemaa el Fna.[1] The square bustles with acrobats, story-tellers, water sellers, dancers and musicians by day; and food stalls by night, becoming a huge open-air restaurant
Marrakech is a fantastic city, it is also a symbol of Morocco. The streets of the old city of Marrakech have been too narrow to allow cars, and tourists searching for the "real" Morocco have turned the medieval structures of Marrakech into good business.
The number of tourists that come to Marrakech all the year have still not managed to change its character. Actually their high number contributes in a positive way to preserve one of the greatest monuments of Morocco. And the people of Marrakech love their city even more. The most worthwhile tourist areas in Marrakech are inside a very small area, starting in the north with, continuing through the town square of Jamaâ El Fna with its crowd of storytellers, musicians and the beautiful Koutoubia Mosque which is visible from practically anywhere in Marrakech.
Going beyond this, the Menara Gardens is considered as the most romantic place in town and don't forget to visit one of the many examples of sights left by the many Europeans and Americans who fell so much in love with Marrakech that they established their Riads and guest houses here.

Bruins sign Linus Arnesson to entry-level contract
|06.01.14 at 6:26 pm ET
The Bruins announced Sunday that they have signed defenseman Linus Arnesson to an entry-level contract.
Arnesson, 19, was drafted in the second round (60th overall) of the 2013 draft, but was the Bruins' first pick given that their first-rounder was dealt to the Stars in the team's trade for Jaromir Jagr during the lockout-shortened 2013 season.
The 6-foot-1, 188 pound Sweden native spent last season playing for Djurgarden of the Allsvenskan league. Arnesson dressed in 44 regular-season games, scoring a goal and adding five assists while posting a plus-two rating. He also played for Team Sweden in the World Juniors.

Tough economic news is good for evening newscasts
NEW YORK Tough economic news and the arrival of the Obama administration have helped bring more viewers to the broadcast evening news shows, a TV staple that's been written off many times in the past.
The ABC, CBS and NBC newscasts all hit ratings milestones last week.
The "CBS Evening News" had its biggest weekly average in two years and ABC's "World News" its largest in one year. The 11.5 million people who watched NBC's "Nightly News" last Monday was its biggest one-day audience in three years.
"Everyone has put the election behind and now it's (time for) solutions – how bad is this and what are we going to do about it," said "Nightly News" executive producer Bob Epstein. "That really plays to the strength and definition of what our broadcast is and what all the evening news broadcasts are."
The "Nightly News" audience has been up 4 percent in the nearly two months since Election Day, compared to the same period the year before. Among the 25-to-54 demographic NBC considers most ideal, the audience is up 11 percent.
The NBC newscast, anchored by Brian Williams, has increased its working margin over Charles Gibson and "World News." The ABC newscast is down 2 percent from the previous year, while Katie Couric's "CBS Evening News" is up 3 percent during the same period.
Epstein said Williams has made it a point to concentrate on the economic story, and how it's affected viewers who don't necessarily work on Wall Street.
Oddly, these newscasts saw little benefit from the intense interest paid to the presidential campaign, at least in comparison to their cable cousins.
CNN, Fox News Channel and MSNBC, collectively, averaged 8.6 million viewers a night during the hottest stage of the campaign, in October. It was down to 4.3 million in December and 4.8 million in January, Nielsen said.
The opinionated talk shows on cable were well-suited to the campaign-obsessed, while now there's a need for hard information, Epstein said.
During last week, the first full week of the Obama administration, "Nightly News" averaged 10.3 million viewers (6.7 rating, 12 share), ABC's "World News" had 9.3 million (6.2, 12) and the "CBS Evening News" had 7.7 million (5.1, 9).
The Super Bowl and "American Idol" dominated the prime-time ratings last week. Nielsen said Tuesday the game between Arizona and Pittsburgh was the most-watched Super Bowl ever with 98.7 million viewers, revising an estimate from the day before by adding more than 3 million viewers.
The game led NBC to average 21.6 million prime-time viewers last week (10.3 rating, 16 share). Fox had 11.3 million viewers (6.5, 10), CBS 9.5 million (6.0, 10), ABC 5.8 million (3.7, 6), My Network TV 1.6 million (1.0, 2) the CW 1.5 million (1.0, 1) and ION Television 580,000 (0.4, 1).
Among the Spanish-language networks, Univision led with a 4.2 million average (2.0, 3), Telemundo had 1.2 million (0.6, 1), TeleFutura 570,000 (0.3, 0) and Azteca 150,000 (0.1, 0).
A ratings point represents 1,145,000 households, or 1 percent of the nation's estimated 114.5 million TV homes. The share is the percentage of in-use televisions tuned to a given show.

Recurring Role
According to this episode, Marie was not annoying or interfering until Robert's divorce. This is not true however. In "Ally's Birth" and "The First Time," Marie is just as interfering as always.
In "Why Are We Here?" Robert says Joanne divorced him because she caught him having fun without her.
Joanne : (sees Robert on the couch) What are you doing? What are you doing? You're supposed to be studying for your sergeant's exam! How are we ever gonna afford anything nice if this is how you study?!
Robert: I'm taking a cartoon break and eating a banana!
Joanne: Well, that's great! You're gonna put it off till the last minute and then guess what? You'll be watching cartoons full time and coming to me for banana money!
(Joanne insults Ray)
Robert: I want you to apologize.
Joanne: Apologize for what?
Robert: For what you just said to him and for all the other mean things you've said about him.
Ray: She says mean things about me?
Robert: Oh yeah. She's nice to your face, but as soon as you leave she says that when you talk, you sound like a wounded cow. Or when you run, it looks like you're trying to hold a pencil between your cheeks.
Marie: (in flashback, to Robert about his ex-wife) You knew she was a showgirl? Raymond, I hope you're not keeping a secret like this about Debra.
Ray: You mean Peppermint?
(Ray is looking out the window after Joanne left)
Robert: Is she still there?
Ray: No, and what's scary is that I think I just saw a bat fly away.
Debra: You know I think it's great we moved across the street from your parents.
Ray: You're just strolling down the railroad tracks and you don't hear the, 'wooh wooh'!
Robert: (About his ex-wife) Biggest mistake of my life.
Frank: It could be worse, Robert. (Hugs Marie.) Some mistakes last 43 years.
Joanne: No, no, that's okay. You can put your feet on our furniture. Until Robert gets a raise we are blessed with your parents' old stuff. If you get really close you can still smell Frank's feet.
Ray: It was right around the time we moved across the street from my parents, right?
Debra: I don't know, I've blocked that out.
Robert: I'm hairy, I'm smelly, I'm kinda like an animal.
Debra: It's just that with you, Joanne can be sort of, not nice, and I just think that... Robert, stop looking at my breasts.
Robert: I'm sorry.
Robert and Joanne had been married for two years before they got divorced.
Frank says about Robert's ex-wife, "I almost didn't recognize her without her broomstick and flying monkeys," referring to actress Margaret Hamilton's Wicked Witch of the West from, The Wizard of Oz.

From the Publisher
"James McManus bet big and won. His Positively Fifth Street, an exhilarating chronicle of the 2000 World Series of Poker in Las Vegas, will go on the shelf with the classic that inspired it, The Biggest Game in Town, A. Alvarez's account of the 1981 event...As tension packed as any thriller...A great story." --The New York Times Book Review (cover)
"Artfully woven...McManus captures the adrenaline-juiced tension of the game, and he also captures the anomalous mix of skill, bravado, gamesmanship, and sheer good fortune that a player needs to succeed; the bantering rivalry and comraderie that engulf the survivors; and the knowledge, as Conrad once put it, that 'it is the mark of an inexperienced man not to believe in luck.'" --Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
"Astounding...wildly entertaining."--Men's Journal
"Irresistible. . .McManus gives the reader a riveting over-the-shoulder view of the hand-by-hand action....His prose is flashy, funny, and unexpectedly erudite, but McManus hardly even needs it--with material this rich, he's holding the writer's equivalent of a royal flush."--Time
"In writing about poker Jim McManus has managed to write about everything, and it's glorious." --David Sedaris, author of Me Talk Pretty One Day
"James McManus is the only literary poker-player ever to have made it to the final table in 'the Big One,' and he did so by playing brilliantly. I admire his achievement, envy his skill and discipline, and was completely absorbed by his subtle, detailed, lively account of the longest four days of his life." --A. Alvarez, author of The Biggest Game in Town

In a recent interview with PC Magazine, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer unloaded on Apple and the "Get a Mac" ads. Along the way he asserted that Macs "don't really get full Microsoft Office" and that Macs don't work in the business place.
In a chat with Carlos Mendoza, Mr. Ballmer spoke to Microsoft's new ad campaign and how it addresses Apple's.
Ballmer: "...you'll see us be much more vigorous about stating the case for the PC. The truth of the matter is, this is ironic. The PC outsells the Mac 33 to 1—32 to 1. And despite the fact that we don't sell PCs, we only sell Windows to people who make PCs. And the attack is actually on the PCs, interestingly enough. You'll see us defend the PC. We're going to talk about why -- look, PCs are better than Macs. That is not something that can be debated. [TMO emphasis] 32 out of every 33 times, somebody buys a PC instead of a Mac. I'm not saying that there are not some things that people like about Macs, apparently there are. But have you ever seen a cheap Mac? No."
Mr. Ballmer continued and assessed Macs in general and their use in business.
"You know, they like to act like Macs are lightweight, there are much lighter weight PC notebooks. Macs -- do they have the best battery power? Of course they don't have the best battery power. Macs tend to have nice screens, but can you get nicer screens for a PC? Of course. Do Macs work in business? No, they do not."
In another excerpt, Mr. Ballmer addressed MS Office for the Mac, a product his company earns many hundreds of millions of dollars on each year. First, however, he seemed to suggest that the range of options for something as simple as a mouse is very limited for the Mac.
Ballmer: "I'm very sensitive to exactly what mouse I have on my laptop. Can you find a range of choices? [for the Mac] Of course you can't find a range of choices. You know, anyway -- can you find the applications you want on the Mac? Well, you don't really get full Microsoft Office."
Finally, in another quote, Mr. Ballmer explained why he thinks Apple opened its own retail stores:
"Apple started doing stores because nobody wanted to sell their PCs. Okay?"
The interview is quite long, covers a wide range of issues, and reveals Mr. Ballmer's unique view of the industry and Apple. It's illuminating to see Mr. Ballmer's view of Apple from his CEO position. Sometimes very high level executives roll up small bits of information as mental, convenient tidbits that makes them feel like they understand a complex situation. When it comes out verbally, it can sound like ignorance. Or, Mr. Ballmer does understand the realities, but finds it politically unacceptable to address them in a framework familiar to Apple customers. That's yet another kind of American CEO-speak.

IGF-1 for hamstring tear recovery?
IGF-1 for hamstring tear recovery?
Hey guys, my brother is a pretty highly recruited senior fb, and recently tore his hamstring pretty good a few days ago. Hes really busted his ass in the weight room and on the field in practice everyday, and id hate to see him sidelined his senior year then miss out on scholarship opportunities. Now ive heard that igf-1 can really speed up the healing process of torn muscles, ligaments, ect. Is anyone here experienced on the matter, as in if it would be worth the investment and dosing and procedure and what not? Thanks guys, really appreciate it!

Files not found
My co-worker is having this issue with backups on a Windows 2008R2 server. When he does a backup to a directory that is long path and/or has spaces in the file name or directory name the backup fails. The error he gets is files not found.
These files are very large files. We are backing up a to SL48 tape library. If we start the backup at a higher place in the directory path we don't get the error. The issue is some of the files are 1T or more. They are basically copies of hard drives that where pulled from computers. Well anyway the SL48 can't handle jobs that are to big because if the directory is larger then the space available in the SL48 the job will fail.
These are not normal backups. I'm a UNIX guy so if this was happening on a UNIX based OS I would just backslash the spaces, but I don't think windows needs this. Example : file name would be file \name in UNIX to fix spaces in UNIX.
What can I do to get these backup working?
Comments 6 Comments • Jump to latest comment
As I said before I'm a UNIX guy. The policy looks kind of odd.
The directory seems to be a ISCI lung. The policy type is MS-Windows. Tthe backup path is \\fileserver\path. Which is also the I drive on the master server.
it looks like its a CIFS share...

Basically, take a tetrahedron (triangular pyramid), put it inside a sphere and then replace each vertex by a group of 3 circular faces, and keep one circular face where the tetrahedon had its own faces (3x4 + 4 = 16). Another way to construct is is to take a truncated tetrahedron (4 triangular faces and 4 hexagonal faces) and then put a face for each vertex but also at the center of each hexagons. But as you can see the faces that are at the center of the hexagons do not touch the other faces. They are what AleaKybos call "rattlers". In order to maximize the radius of the faces, you can turn a little bit each group of 3 faces corresponding to one triangle of the truncated tetrahedron, say, counter-clockwise. In this way you get some extra space to make all the faces grow a little bit. Repeat the process until you touch the (former) rattler. It is a similar operation that allows to go from the D24 to the snub-D24. That why I call this new D16 the snub-D16 with Tetrahedral symmetry. In this image I colored the different groups of faces to better understand the process (the one nearly grey is actually orange, and the one nearly black is actualy blue, sorry for the poor rendering). The gain on the separation (that is the angle at its vertex of the cone that goes from the center of the sphere to one circular face) seems low, but actually this is a big improvement: we go from 50.48° to 51.92° Note that none of these dice would have number on their face, so they cannot compete for the D16 Contest...]]> Magic 2012-10-22T21:53:21-00:00 Re: Yet two other D16s http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=56410&th=11288#msg_56410 D16 with a tetrahedral symmetry has been numbered.

Rain Leaves Basements Flooded, Damaged Behind
August 13th, 2014
SPRINGFIELD, Mass (WGGB) — A day of torrential rains leave behind some sloppy wet basements, and lots to clean up. The rain was measured in the inches throughout the area Wednesday, around three inches coming down in the southern Pioneer Valley.
Leaves, mud, and a whole lot of water was thrown across Derrick Brown's basement.
"It comes up out of the bathroom right out of the sewer drains and the slop tank, the wet tank downstairs," Brown said.
Here's the twist: Brown's family has lived in his Church Street home for 30 years. Only this year did storm drains start getting overloaded, leaving water and just about anything else backing up into nearby homes.
"I'm still dealing with the smell from the first time," Brown said.
Which happened in May, when 18 inches of water filled the basement. The damage could be clearly seen on these walls and throughout the basement. Since then, Brown tried to quickly get his house back in order.
"Everything. I did the reflooring, put down down new tile and grout, new furnace, got the ducts all clean, got the walls all serviced from mold and mildew," he said. "Got the insulation pulled. New baseboards, new doors, new bathrooms."
Because the water once again backed up two weeks ago and again on Wednesday. Much of the work Brown did was destroyed again. He wants the city to explain what suddenly has changed underground before he continues to lose thousands of dollars he's already invested.
"Very frustrating because I still got to go find somewhere to go stay tonight with the kids," he said. "I do got the money to go stay in a hotel. Fortunately I do but what if someone didn't to go stay somewhere."
An aide for Mayor Domenic Sarno tells ABC40 that the city is looking into the issue. A representative from the Department of Public Works told the residents that someone will be out Thursday morning to look into the issue and what needs to be done to fix it.

A luminaire is provided with a one-sided diffuser, located a predefined distance below the light output ports, in order to efficiently distribute light through an upper smooth surface and a lower surface having light altering tracks where each wherein each light altering tracks distributes its received light over a range of angles within a predefined cutoff angle.
1. A luminaire comprising:
(a) a light source whose light output is constrained within a first predefined glare-restricted angular extent about an axis; and
(b) a transparent optical diffuser spaced at a distance from said light source and having a planar first surface facing said light source and an opposing second surface including a plurality of light altering tracks comprising an alternating series of planar sloped surfaces and cylindrical lens elements, each of the cylindrical lens elements being between and adjacent to two of the planar sloped surfaces, a size of the planar sloped surfaces increasing with distance from a centerline of said diffuser, and a thickness of said diffuser at each of the light altering tracks being substantially uniform,
(i) wherein each light altering track receives a limited first solid-angle of said light by virtue of its distance from the light source, and
(ii) wherein each light altering track distributes its received light over a larger second solid angle within a second predefined glare-restricted angular extent, the second predefined glare-restricted angular extent being smaller than the first predefined glare-restricted angular extent.

1. Technical Field
This invention relates to the field of illumination systems and more specifically to lighting equipment where it is advantageous to have a minimum amount of light outside a predefined cutoff angle.
2. Background Art
Any discussion of the prior art throughout the specification should in no way be considered as an admission that such prior art is widely known or forms part of common general knowledge in the field.
As is known, a luminaire is a device to produce and distribute light wherein the production of light can comprise artificial or natural light sources. An example of a reduced-glare luminaire is shown in Lewin, U.S. Pat. No. 3,988,609, wherein a plurality of fluorescent lamps are housed in a reflective cavity, and whose output distribution is limited by way of a prismatic film spaced at a distance from the lamps. The film has a smooth side facing the lamps and varying prismatic features on the opposing face. From the perspective of a prismatic feature, light rays can be received from any of the lamps as well as from reflection off the reflective cavity. Further, light rays that travel at near-grazing-incidence to the smooth face of the film are likely to undergo total internal reflection (TIR) once striking the face of a prism (see Whitehead, U.S. Pat. No. 4,262,220). The net effect is that a single prism will see a wide variation of incidence angles, and thereby unable to constrain the light rays within the glare free angular extents, and further would suffer from efficiency losses due to absorption from reflections off the cavity wall and rays that recycle back to the lamp. Thus Lewin, while reducing some glare, still allows glare and also considerably reduces the efficiency of the lamp.
With respect to objectionable glare, standards have been developed to assess a luminaire, such as the Deutsches Institute for Normung (DIN, specification entitled "Artificial Lighting, Terminology and General Requirements", which is now International Standards Organization (ISO) Specification 5035, (herein after referred to as "the DIN Specification"). The DIN Specification requires, among other things, restricting light emanating from a luminaire between 45 and 85 degrees relative to a ceiling normal. It is known that limiting light rays in such a manner will reduce glare in the vicinity of computer screens thereby decreasing eyestrain and fatigue on office workers.
The luminaire embodiments described below are variations of a luminaire disclosed in our U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/366,337, entitled "Luminaire Device", filed on Feb. 14, 2003, and published as US Patent Application No. 2004/0047162 A1 on Mar. 11, 2004. An example luminaire configuration, disclosed in this application, comprises a linear tubular fluorescent lamp, a linear array of down-light reflectors whose output is angularly constrained, and a two-sided diffuser situated at a distance below the down-light reflectors that collimate the light to comply with the requirements of the DIN Specification. The two-sided diffuser captures the downward-projected light after it has naturally spread laterally and redistributes the light in compliance with the DIN Specification. This has the net effect of lowering the luminance out of the down-light reflectors by spreading the light over a larger area. Significantly, the luminescence from a luminaire in accordance with our invention is limited to a predefined angular limit referred to herein as a "cutoff angle", which is an angle beyond which the light flux through an exit aperture significantly drops. In this application the diffuser comprises structured features on both an upper surface and a lower surface. In an office environment, lower luminance is less objectionable should one stare directly up at a light fixture within the angles defined by the DIN Specification. The diffuser also precludes a direct-view of the lamp through the down-light reflectors.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a one-sided diffuser is employed, such as a diffuser having a plurality of structured features on its lower surface only. Further, in accordance with our invention, the diffuser is spaced at a distance from the luminaire such that each of the structured features receives rays within a small solid-angle. The structured features are then engineered to distribute the rays over a larger solid-angle, yet still remain, for example, within the DIN Specification. Advantageously, this one sided diffuser can be configured to replace the two-sided diffuser used with various up-light/down-light luminaire embodiments taught in the '337 application. It can also be used with point sources, such as arc lamps or light emitting diodes (LED). In the case of a linear lamp, the structured features run along parallel tracks following the axis of the lamp, and in the case of isolated point sources, the structured features run in arcuate or concentric tracks. While in the preferred embodiment these structured features comprise cylindrical refractive elements, the present invention can be implemented with linear and/or arcuate tracks of other light-altering features such as diffractive elements (similar to those shown in U.S. Pat. No. 6,608,722), gradient indices (similar to those shown in U.S. Pat. No. 5,365,354), holographic elements (similar to those shown in U.S. Pat. No. 6,421,148), micro lenses (similar to those shown in U.S. Pat. No. 6,033,094), or other surface diffusers (such as those shown in U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,261,664 and 5,462,700) and so henceforth the phrase "light altering tracks" will be used.
Further advantages and embodiments of the present invention will become apparent from the following description and drawings.
The accompanying figures further illustrate the present invention.
The following is a list of the major elements in the drawings in numerical order.
In certain embodiments, the linear lamp is a linear array of light emitting diodes (LED) that are collimated (with a one or more of a lens, reflector, and non-imaging optic, as is known in the art) to a solid angle within a reduced-glare or glare-free specification. Note that since the DIN Specification allows for some small amount of light within the glare-producing angles, the LEDs need not have a full cutoff at, say, 45 degrees.
In certain embodiments, the linear array of down-light reflectors 110 will comprise collimating shapes known in the art, such as a compound parabolic concentrator (CPC), or tapered rectangular or triangular hollow collimator array, the latter described in our U.S. Pat. No. 6,428,198. The linear array can be tapered in one axis or both axes, depending upon the divergence of the source and/or the desired degree of diffusion in each axis. Arrays of hollow collimators can be formed from specularly reflecting sheet metal, such as MIRO 2 from Alanod (Round Rock, Tex.).
In certain other embodiments, the linear array of down-light reflectors 110 is an array of solid collimators being composed of a light-transmitting refractive medium, such as a polymer material (e.g. acrylic).
In yet other embodiments, the down-light reflectors can be optical fibers, skylight tubes, or TIR light guides as taught in Whitehead and illuminated by either a collimated point source or, for example, sunlight. The inventive diffuser has the net effect of lowering the luminance out of the luminaire and restricting the angles within a cutoff angle, the latter removing objectionable glare and/or keeping the illuminance at a useable level.
A diffuser 320, having light altering tracks 323 is positioned at a distance D, for example 12 inches (30 centimeters), from the collimating down-light reflectors 110, which distance causes the light altering tracks each to receive a limited solid angle of the light. The centerline of the diffuser 321 is coincident with the central axis 101 of the linear lamp 100. Each down-light reflector 110 includes an output port 111, such as for example a one-inch by one-inch square output (2.5�2.5 centimeter), that directly faces the upper smooth surface 322 of the one-sided diffuser 320.
The linear light altering tracks 323 may have varying geometric features, as shown by light altering tracks in
In other embodiments of our invention, the linear light altering tracks are optically diffractive in nature. As an example, monochrome LEDs can be arranged in an array, wherein the diffractive diffuser for a given LED is designed to accommodate its limited range of wavelengths.
During manufacture of the one-sided diffuser using a plastic molding process, the sloped features can be tilted slightly away from the vertical in order to facilitate mold release as is known in the art; e.g. having a minimum mold release draft angle of about three degrees. Potential manufacturers of our inventive one-sided diffuser include Reflexite (Avon, Conn.), Physical Optics Corp. (Torrance, Calif.), and Wavefront Technology (Paramount, Calif.).
As seen in
In addition, certain embodiments may use linear arrays of point light sources, such as light emitting diodes (LED) (e.g. those from Luxeon and Nichia). For these embodiments, certain of the light altering tracks, such as those centrally located between two adjacent point light sources, can be constructed to combine the outermost rays from both of these two sources.
We have verified the operation of our inventive one-sided diffuser by modeling its optical characteristic in a commercially available ray-tracing program ASAP™ from Breault Research Organization Inc., Tucson, Ariz. For example,
Refer now to

ROCKINGHAM — A car flipped onto its side and slid into a utility pole Thursday afternoon on Airport Road, blocking traffic in both directions between Greenbriar Lane and the East Rockingham Fire Department.
The light colored four-door sedan carrying three women ran off the road in the westbound lane, where the car overturned on its side and came to rest against the utility pole. State troopers are investigating the wreck.
Two women were able to walk to the FirstHealth Emergency Medical Service ambulance for assessment after first responders pulled them from the car.
The driver was pinned inside for several minutes before firefighters and paramedics could free her from the wreckage, and the extent of her injuries wasn't immediately known.
Michelle Chappell and her son Derek said they saw the car on its side as they drove east on Airport Road.
"I almost didn't notice it," Michelle Chappell said. "It was raining hard and it's so dark out here. When we saw it, I pulled over and it was Derek who jumped out of the car and ran over to help. I called 911."
Heavy rain and isolated flooding in the area created treacherous driving conditions in parts of Richmond County, including the stretch of road where the crash occurred. The National Weather Service had issued a hazardous weather outlook for the county on Thursday due to the potential for severe thunderstorms.
Chappell credited her son for his quick thinking and eagerness to help.
"We just drove up on it," Derek Chappell said. "All I did was turn off the car and take the keys out of the ignition. The tires were still going."
The Richmond County Sheriff's Office, Richmond County Rescue Squad, East Rockingham Fire Department, and FirstHealth EMS were on the scene. The N.C. Highway Patrol is investigating the crash and troopers weren't available to release details Thursday afternoon.
