Gonzalez helps Astros to 3-2 win over Mariners
HOUSTON Seattle manager Eric Wedge hoped his team had turned a corner offensively after hitting three home runs in a win over the Astros in the series opener.
Unfortunately, the Mariners' hitting woes returned in a 3-2 loss to Houston on Tuesday night.
Bud Norris rebounded from a tough start last time out, Marwin Gonzalez homered and the Astros snapped a three-game losing skid with the victory.
"The at-bats are getting better - and we did have a lot of long outs, too - but, we still have to do better than that," Wedge said. "I do think we have guys heading in the right direction; that is obvious by the quality of the at-bats. Having said that, it's all about winning and losing, and we have to do a better job of finding ways to win ballgames."
The game was tied at 1 when Gonzalez launched his homer about 10 rows into the stands in right field to start Houston's third. Gonzalez, who bats ninth, hit just two home runs in 80 games last season and has three in 16 this year.
Houston got an insurance run when Hisashi Iwakuma (2-1) hit Justin Maxwell with a pitch with the bases loaded later in that inning. Maxwell was placed on the disabled list after the game with a broken left hand.
Norris (3-2) allowed a season-high eight hits in five innings, but was much better than last time out, when he yielded six runs in 2-3 innings.
Houston closer Jose Veras pitched a perfect ninth for his second save in three opportunities.
Iwakuma struck out a season-high 11, but the six hits he gave up were also the most he's allowed this year. It's his first loss since September 14, and breaks a career-best five game winning streak.
He's been dealing with a blister that has limited how much he throws between starts.
"I am still able to pitch every five days, that is the good thing," he said through a translator. "Right now, it is just being able to monitor and manage the situation ... (the blister) is a new situation for me, so I was having a hard time commanding my pitches to both sides of the plate."
Kendrys Morales homered for the second consecutive game with a solo shot to center field in the eighth to cut the lead to 3-2.
Houston had retired eight in a row, including six straight by Travis Blackley when the homer by Morales chased him with no outs in the eighth. Hector Ambriz sat down the next three batters, with two strikeouts, to end the inning.
Seattle won the opener of this series 7-1 behind Felix Hernandez's 100th career win and the three homers. But they couldn't string together many hits in this one and have failed to win consecutive games since the first two games of the season.
"I feel like the last couple of games, we have swung the bats pretty well," Seattle's Justin Smoak said. "It's just one of those things, though, where they just didn't fall for us in this game. We have to just keep doing some of the things we have been doing to get out of this and keep going. We had guys on, we're getting on base and we're hitting the balls hard. Things just did not go our way tonight."

Does anyone have this game yet? How is the multiplayer? Is finding games online easy? Are the fun? Just looking for a review of it from a normal person instead of some gaming site or company, thanks.

I think it's a really great, fun game. Online works great, has a daily leader board, overall leader etc. Play a random match or against a friend online. Plus you can team up with a local friend and play 2v2 matches which are whole worlds of fun.
I haven't even touched the single player mode yet, just VS and online.
The music is great, the graphics are fluid and never a slow down (which is utterly mad when you consider the audience is completely 3D).
I really recommend it. IMO the best multiplayer game since Melee and a game I'm really happy I bought.
Controls are very intuitive. I've found myself throwing my arms all over the show as I get more engrossed in the game
-The action is very fast. I haven't played any sports games like this before, at all, so I can't compare on the speed front. But it does get very hectic and it's really easy to lose yourself.
-I can only play in short 5 point matches. I think it's linked to the above point and I just get mentally exhausted.
-Character introductions will get annoying
Maybe if everyone who'd ever been close to you had died, you'd be sarcastic, too.

Weve got this game and it is rather fun. Weve not given the online version a go so I cant comment on that, but its one of those games that really comes to life when youre playing with a friend or two.
Put me down as another one who recommends it.

I enjoyed the GameCube one (single player was kind of a drag), and I can't wait for the US release.
|Jun 27, 2007, 10:44 AM
Thanks for the reviews, I think I'm going to pick it up when it comes out here. Can you do a 2v2 game where you and a friend, who live in different houses, play on the same team?
Fetch Daddy's blue fright wig! I must be handsome when I unleash my rage.
|Jun 27, 2007, 12:00 PM
think about it that way:
it's _really_ hectic
on the single player: first there is some sort of challenge mode where you have to equalize leads etc. or win with less players: the first are really easy but it get's hard fast
on the tournaments: the first you are going to breeze through easily perhaps getting zero goals and scoring one goal after another, then you hit the second cup and it's like "ZOMG" with my first randomly selected team i barley made it through the qualification mode and then got kicked out in the first KO round
and playing against a human can be ridiculously challenging and there are plenty of opponents (i think it is region based to reduce lag) at least in europe
online multiplayer games are best of 3 games and quit fun but as usual there are gazillion of people out there with too much time on their hands who totally own the first regions of the ladder .. but i guess down the line it is going to get less crowded
playing against a friend is of course priceless especially if your friend is 4:0 ahead with 10 seconds left to go and you can still equalize and then win with golden goal in overtime (it took my 8 seconds to equalize and then another 5 to win in overtime)
it also means in online games you have to concentrate for the whole time... since the game lasts it's time and never you are so far behind that you say "screw this"
the downside is of course that you will be screaming "DON'T TALK TO ME I HAVE TO CONCENTRATE" if you are living with other people
the music assigned to the characters is ridiculously funny and totally fitting
especially waluigi's banjo .... the goal celebrations are of course totally gloating: luigi starting to cry when getting a few goals ? the reggae listening piranha plant ? the totally stupid dance of Birdo ? totally brilliant

Thank you for the replies, I definitely think I'm going to get this. Jimmy and Takao's replies especially made me want it. A crazy/odd intense, fast paced game? I'm there.
Makes me think Penny Arcade was accurate

Jim Morrison - Page 2
45 Years Ago: Ray Manzarek Fills in For a Passed Out Jim Morrison
Jim Morrison made a career of nodding off at inopportune moments. He passed out when the rest of the Doors were expecting him in the studio. He passed out in the studio. He passed out before concerts and after concerts. And sometimes, like on Sept. 15, 1968, he passed out during concerts -- onstage as the audience and his bandmates watched him collapse into an unwashed mound of rock-star excess.
John Densmore Picks Jimmy Fallon as Potential Jim Morrison Replacement
Should the remaining members of the Doors reunite (it seems unlikely), drummer John Densmore knows who he'd want to fill Jim Morrison's space in front of the microphone. It's not clear if he's being cute or funny, but during a recent radio interview he said Jimmy Fallon could get the job done.
Jim Morrison in Newly Discovered Interview: 'Fat Is Beautiful'
He's been dead for decades -- and the subject of countless retrospectives ever since -- but that doesn't mean we've heard and seen everything Jim Morrison committed to tape before he passed away. The latest example? A newly unearthed candid interview the Doors front man gave to director and journalist Howard Smith in 1969.
Jimmy Fallon Sings 'Reading Rainbow' Theme as The Doors' Jim Morrison [VIDEO]
Jimmy Fallon is known for his impressions, whether it's Barry Gibb or Justin Bieber. On 'Late Night' he imagined what it would be like if Doors singer Jim Morrison sang the theme song to 'Reading Rainbow.'
It's actually rather uncanny.
No Bad Company…?
Could it be? it might have been. No Bad Company...but more Doors. According to Paul Rodgers he almost replaced the late Jim Morrison. Here's the skinny from Gibson.

This week we open in Melissa's home, where she's at the computer pretending that she's not actually dictating the contents of her book to a ghost writer.
We cannot right the wrongs that mare our past. Persecuting Paula Deen for racism in this country is not going to fix the hundreds of years of intolerance toward any specific group of people.
The three major TV networks -- ABC, CBS, and NBC -- covered climate change in depth on their nightly news programs a total of 12 times in 2012. So far, in 2013, they have only reported segments on the issue nine times.
When a huge swath of the country is on the side of the guy-on-the-run and not the government, it's much easier to see that there's nothing "objective" or "neutral" about journalists who so closely identify with the spy agencies or Justice Department or White House.
Watch another new show on Monday nights like (scans listings) Teen Wolf? That's a show? Pull it together, America.
Though Teresa tries to put up a strong front, it's obvious that the year of silence has been painful. She finally confronts Joe ... by standing over him as he gets ready to bench press. Now, the brother she hasn't seen in oh-so-long is literally talking to her lady garden.
"There's no need to run home to my brother and make it bigger than it is," Teresa says in her interview. Note how she says "my brother" and not "her husband." Teresa still feels like she has ownership over Joe, and she views Melissa as her replacement and mortal enemy.
As Teresa speaks, Caroline dusts off her infamous head tilt, which is often followed by other signature gestures, such as "wild arms" and "terrifying low voice of death." As Teresa stumbles through her side of the story, Caroline rocks out all her moves.
"I'm willing to go talk to your sister," Caroline says selflessly. Then, Joe offers Caroline the same advise that I'd offer to you, my dear readers, as we embark on this Season 5 journey together: "Wear some armor and bring a hand gun."
I really wish I knew how the producers encourage the men to meet our bachelorette -- do they tell them to admit how nervous they are or persuade them to come up with the corniest and/or most memorable introduction?
It's that time again. Summer is upon us and with it comes reruns of your favorite television shows and crappy summer series that will be canceled mid-way into June.
I've been known to cry during a "Glee" finale or two (or all of them). This finale was on par with one of the show's typical, mid-season fluff episodes that are usually forgettable.
Last week's episode of "Glee" set up a lot of plotlines for the end of the season, and next week's episode is the big finale. So what was this week's episode? Fluff.
Why should all families, all schools, all community leaders, all employers and all policymakers watch this series? Because it so effectively undermines our fatalism about the seemingly intractable obesity crisis.
I sat my daughter down for one of those heart to heart Dad talks that invariably begin with five simple words: "Stop looking at your phone."
Seeing all the hubbub at Tuesday night's premiere, one really begins to wonder why ABC cancelled these beloved soap operas in the first place.

Poland Central School District voters will be asked to approve a proposed $13.67 million budget for 2013 - 2014 at the annual budget vote May 21.
Voting will be from 2 to 8 p.m. in the school cafeteria.
The board of education voted last month to adopt the proposed budget that maintains school programs and would increase the property tax levy by 2.99 percent. The increase is less than the district's allowable 3.61 percent tax levy limit.
For the owner of a home valued at $100,000 who is enrolled in the Basic STAR program, the proposed levy increase would result in an estimated tax increase of $2.15 per month, or $25.90 per year.
The proposed $13,671,995 budget is up $471,607, or 3.57 percent, compared to this year's $13,200,388 budget, according to Poland Superintendent Laura Dutton, who said this is largely due to the increasing cost of teacher and employee pension programs.
"Despite the challenging economic times and increasing costs beyond our control, this budget would allow Poland Central School District to maintain its existing programs," Dutton said in a news release. "We value the quality of education we're able to provide our students at Poland, and this budget proposal would allow the district to stay on the positive course we have set."
A public hearing on the budget has been scheduled for Tuesday, May 14, at 6 p.m. in Walker Auditorium in the school district, located at 74 Cold Brook St., Poland.
Two major expenses are driving the budget upward.
First, is a major increase in the district's state-mandated employer contributions to the New York State Teachers' Retirement System and the New York State Employees' Retirement System. Under the law, the state requires schools to contribute a percentage of their employees' salaries toward these retirement plans. Mandated employer contribution rates for the New York State Teachers' Retirement System alone are expected to increase by more than 35 percent.
Second, is a 9.81 percent increase - from about $2 million in the current school year to about $2.2 million in the proposed budget - for BOCES services. As part of the recent Oppenheim-Ephratah-St. Johnsville school district merger, Oppenheim-Ephratah will no longer be part of the Herkimer-Fulton-Hamilton-Otsego BOCES region. That leaves the remaining component districts, including Poland, to contribute a greater percentage of the BOCES' operating expenses.
On May 21, residents also will be asked to elect two members to the board of education. Incumbent board member Melissa Allen and Eric Tabor will be running for five-year terms. Current board member Jody Lamphere is not seeking re-election.
For information about the budget, visit the school district website at www.polandcs.org/education or call the Poland budget hotline at 826-0205.

Historical Traveler Reviews Wood Hall Hotel & Spa Wetherby
The best uk hotel I've visited
Stayed here for a wedding last summer - a fantastic experience.
The rooms were luxurious (with plasma tvs, dvd players etc), the service was friendly and efficient, the food and drink wonderful.
The grounds and building itself are fantastic also - really beautiful.
Lovely surroundings, Pity about the service
I stayed at this hotel for one night intended as a relaxing treat for my family. The surroundings were elegant and pleasing. However, I was very disappointed about the service (or lack of) in the hotel. Upon arrival and checking in, I was not given any details on what facilities guest could use in the hotel. Whenever I asked the reception, they were very vague and did not take any care in explaining or showing us what we could do, even though it was not busy at the time.
The next morning when we arrived for breakfast, we were told to leave the restaurant and wait to be called when the table was ready. We then proceeded to wait in the nearby living room for what seemed like a long time. It appeared that they had forgotten to call us or did not think it important to do so.
The worst experience came when after breakfast, we sat in the living room to read the paper. The staff were obviously preparing for a wedding that day. One staff member, seemingly the manager, entered the living room and asked us whether we were waiting to be picked up. Not a subtle hint, I would think. I replied that no, we had a car. He then proceeded to ask where we would be going to next. Again, a very obvious attempt to get rid of guests by making them feel unwelcome in order to accomodate a wedding party.
Whilst the the brochure left in the bedrooms seem to invite guests to continue to relax and enjoy their stay after checking out, this was NOT our experience and we felt rudely treated at the end of our stay, promptly leaving with a very unwelcome feeling. Such a shame to be let down by such bad service!!!
Lovely Hotel
Stayed for one night at this hotel on business. Beautiful grounds, and beautifully decorated rooms. My room maybe a little small but the decor/comfy bed/plasma screen/bathroom goodies etc make up for it. Food at dinner and breakfast excellent, as is service. Only (small) negative comment I can think of is that it was a very hot night and there was no airconditioning. I would (and have) definitely recommend this hotel if you are in the area.
Lovely surroundings, good hotel, rooms ok
Wood Hall is lovely, very impressive drive up to it and lovely views. We were here for a wedding so didn't spend much time in the room. Don't get me wrong the rooms are lovely but because we had stayed at the Hotel Du Vin the night before they just didn't compare. There's a plasma tv on the wall, comfy bed and nice bathroom. The room is quite small though. The breakfast in the morning was good, big choice of continental and a decent English brekkie. The spa area is also quite small, just a steam room, no sauna. Nice pool and jacuzzi.
I do recommend this hotel but if in the area stay in the Hotel Du Vin instead.
A first class hotel
We stayed at the Hall for 2 nights in February and enjoyed every minute of it, very friendly staff and comfortable rooms made it the ideal place to stay whilst visiting the area.
Real luxury
We stayed here for a friend's wedding in October and it was fantastic.
It's a small (though not particularly cosy) hotel and impeccably presented in a contemporary fashion, as though it was just completed yesterday.
On arrival a chap welcomed us, noted our name and that was it. No check in, how fab!
The room was pretty large with a view of the valley, big flat screen TV, great bathroom with goodies and the fluffiest robes ever.
The food served at the wedding breakfast was delicious, as was breakfast the next day. Service throughout was excellent, though there were not enough staff on in the morning and we waiting a while for everything at breakfast.
I will check out other Hand Picked Hotels following this stay.
I can't write a full reveiw as due to the inneficiency of the reservations department at this hotel I didnt actually get to stay there!
At the end of September I booked a deluxe room for two nights for myself and my husband to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary and was looking forward to the trip enormously, despite never receiving a confirmation of my booking!
On 5th November I rang again to order flowers for the room as a nice little extra, I also mentioned at this time that I had not received any confirmation and could this be sent together with a brochure. On the following monday I received a brochure but again NO confirmation. On looking through the brochure I spotted a celebration package which nobody had bothered to mention to me despite my having said it was my wedding anniversary and ordering both champagne (at the time of booking) and flowers. I then rang again!!! This time I was informed that I wasnt booked in for the Saturday night and that someone from the hotel would ring me back on the Tuesday morning first thing to sort things out. Despite this being only 3 days before our trip I wasnt unduly worried as I was convinced that this oversight would be dealt with.
I had the misfortune of Rachel ringing me first thing in the morning ... if you can call 11.30am first thing! She insisted that it was all my mistake, that she had definately told me that I would not be able to book for Saturday night. I told her that she was mistaken but she then proceeded to argue that it was my fault and nothing to do with her. She then told me that they could fit me in on the Saturday but that we would not be able to have a deluxe room, which basically meant checking in on the Friday at 4pm only to have to move rooms on Saturday at 11am.
She then told me that her mananger would call me back and put the phone down.
The Manager (Kathryn) did call back promptly informed me that she believed that Rachel had told me that Saturday was not available (basically calling me a liar) and that there was nothing they could do apart from suggesting that we change rooms.
At this point I burst into tears and told her that my anniversary weekend was now ruined. At no point did she apologise or offer any recompence, she could also not offer an explanation why I had never received a confirmation of my booking despite asking twice. Obviously if a confirmation had been received in the first instance the error would have been spotted and could have been dealt with immediately.
I was therefore, left in the unenviable position of trying to find an alternative hotel in the same area of the same standard for a weekend with just 3 days notice. I managed it and would like to recommend that you try Thorpe Park Hotel instead of this one, it may not be quite as nice to look at, but the staff more than make up for it.
p.s I have also sent only my second ever letter of complaint to the company who own Wood Hall and am waiting for a reply, but if anything like the confirmation letter I probably shouldnt hold my breath.
A grand setting
We stayed here for our honeymoon weekend in November 2003. The drive up to the house is very grand indeed as are the public areas. Charming, traditional lounges to have a quiet moment, great swimming pool. Our room was very nice, not brilliant, but had everything we needed. Dinner on Saturday night was fabulous, superb attentive service with an exceptional winelist. So much so that we decided to forego our usual breakfast in bed and get up for another experience. Only to be horribly disappointed, the breakfast was buffet (possibly because the hotel was full with another wedding party) and they had opened up more rooms but only one table of food, so you had to walk quite a distance for a lukewarm average breakfast. What a shame as it ended what was a wonderful weekend on a bit of a downer.
Classic rural piece of elegance
We stayed at Wood Hall on a business/pleasure trip. The accommodations and services were excellent. Rooms were spacious compared to other European accommodations. The entry drive to Wood Hall, perched on a hill in the country is special. Plasma TV is a plus if you like BBC TV.
Wonderful hotel
We had our wedding and reception at this hotel and were more than delighted with it. The rooms are modern and benefit from plasma screen TVs, DVD players, playstations and all Molton Brown toiletries (all of which you don't use if your getting married!). The staff are so lovely and the food is fantastic, it almost feels like you own a country house for the day. If you want to treat yourselves do come here.

Up early having trouble sleeping but after another English breakfast buffet we drove into Barnsley City Centre and found a Market of over 203 stalls in progress but the weather has changed raining and very cold so we opted to walk around the city centre for a while. After coffee we then drove to Pots Hamper and met up with our friends for typical scones jam and cream and a few good laughs. Lovely cafe ...
Barnsley Day Two
... seven overs were good but Richie Bresnan (Tim Bresnan's brother) got stuck into me for the last two of my overs. It is going to take a while to adjust to bowling on the softer and slower wickets, it seems that the medium-slow bowlers are the ones who do the damage. I batted at number 5 and made 33, only hitting boundaries and singles because the boundaries are so small! The straight boundaries would ...
Barnsley Day One
... is nice but it is also quite small, something we will have to get used to compared to home. Nikko picked us up and we went down to the cricket club so I could have a net session before our friendly game tomorrow. I hit the ball okay but I think it will take a little while for me to adjust to the conditions and the formats of the games. We then went into the clubhouse which is s really cool setup. It is similar to the club house at home but they have an ...

Renovating pastures and hay fields to renew grass productivity is one of the most important things LaRue County farmers can do to improve their pasture and hay fields. Pastures and other forages feed the county's 27,000 head of cattle and calves in addition to the other ruminant livestock and horses. It will soon be time to renovate this year.
Pasture renovation (seeding legumes, usually clover, into an established grass stand) is a win‑win situation because it decreases production costs and increases animal performance, which should result in increased income.

Tips for making HardiPlank seams as smooth as possible?
I'm wondering if there are any good techniques for making HardiPlank seams, where two boards meet each other, as smooth as possible. I realize that one of the two recommended techniques is to abut them directly without a gap but with flashing behind them. But beyond that I'm wondering what else can be done to improve the joint.
I think about 1/8" separation, flashed behind the lap, and filled with appropriate caulk is a good method.

Last Friday, Gainesville High coach Bruce Miller was right there in the bleachers in Roswell as the four-time defending Class AA state champion Buford (1-0), tonight's season opener for the Red Elephants in Buford, crushed Blessed Trinity in its season opener 42-0.
There are a few things you can count on every year in high school football - but only a few.
On of the aspects of high school football that makes it unique is the year-to-year discovery of new talent.
White County spent years building toward last season. With one of the most talented senior classes in the school's history, the Warriors built a foundation strong enough to withstand a season marked by controversy and still come out with the program's best record in 20 years.
Last season, Lumpkin County took a step in the right direction. The 2010 Indians won six games, marking their first winning season since 2003, but a 38-0 loss to Monroe Area in the region playoff kept Lumpkin County out of the postseason and left the Indians wanting more.
Georgia Prep Football Poll
All games are not created equal.
It's a weekly occurrence on the football field.
Sometimes the ball bounces your way - and sometimes it doesn't.
Buford started its defense of the Class AA state championship in fine fashion with a season-opening 42-0 shutout of Blessed Trinity on Friday in Roswell.
Riverside Military football coach Chris Cotter streamlined Thursday's practice as much as possible.
They say you have to crawl before you can walk. But they never met Dillon Lee.
Gainesville High School's football season got off to a rocky start on Friday as it dropped its opening scrimmage to St. Pius X 27-0 at City Park.
This is without question the only week in the high school football season when programs are preparing for a game on Friday night, but not worried about winning.
Though only the second week of high school football practice, teams are already gearing up for scrimmage outings this weekend. For some, it's a quick assessment before the season begins on Aug. 19. But for most, they'll have two weeks to review game tape before the season opens Aug. 26.
Page 64 of 82
East Hall fell to 0-2 with Friday night's 38-10 loss to Pickens in Jasper.
WINDER - With the star-studded duo of TJ Skelton and Evan Shirreffs on the field for Jefferson, a productive and powerful offense was expected. What was not expected was how the Dragons used almost everybody but Skelton on their way to a 41-7 win over the Winder-Barrow Bulldoggs at W. Clair Harris Stadium in Winder.
COMMERCE - After last Friday's loss, East Jackson Eagles' head coach Gary Hughes said his team had to limit turnovers to stay in games.
Madison County scored 20 unanswered points in the second half to overcome Jackson County 27-21 on Friday in Jefferson.
After 11 straight seasons of futility in season openers, Forsyth Central finally started the schedule off on the right foot.
In typical Buford fashion, seven different names appeared on the scoring sheet during Friday night's 56-0 win over Berkmar at Tom Riden Stadium.
Riverside Military Academy's defense stole the show on Friday night in Roswell as J.J. McCalston, Tarik Holmes and Chris Howard combined to lead the Eagles to a 20-10 victory over Fellowship Christian.
West Hall coach Tony Lotti had his team vote last week to decide who would be the team's top 10 leaders in the locker room for the upcoming season.
A stifling defense and a freshman quarterback led Flowery Branch to a decisive victory against Chestatee on Friday night in the Hall County rivals' first matchup since 2009.
LOGANVILLE – Gainesville has two weeks to find some continuity on both sides of the ball before the region schedule begins. The season opener was far less than what coach Bruce Miller hoped for.
Rabun County held off Habersham Central 23-14 in the season-opener on Friday in Tiger.
Union County stormed past Towns County 57-14 win in the season opener on Friday in Hiawassee.
Commerce defeated Banks County 28-21 on Friday in the season opener for both teams in Commerce.
Pickens outlasted White County 42-34 in a wild offensive shootout Friday in Cleveland.
East Hall battled its way to a 20-13 win over Wesleyan in the season opener on Friday in Peachtree Corners.

West Ham midfielder Nobby Solano admits he was delighted to score against Sunderland in their 3-1 win.
Solano says playing a part in West Ham's decisive second goal against the Black Cats on Sunday was extra special because of his Newcastle United links.
The Peruvian had two spells on Tyneside and was one of three former Magpies players barracked by the away end at Upton Park, along with Lee Bowyer and Craig Bellamy. Solano's 78th-minute shot hit the post and went in off Craig Gordon's leg.
"It was very pleasing to score against Sunderland," he admitted. "Lots of my friends from Newcastle sent me text messages and they were delighted for me to score against them.
"I'll try to claim the goal, if it hadn't hit the goalkeeper it probably would have come back to me, but the win was the most important thing."

Forensic analysis of memory on Linux
Tracing Clues
In computer forensics, memory analysis is becoming increasingly important as a means for investigating security incidents. In this article, we provide an overview of the various memory dumping options on Linux and introduce the support in Linux for the Volatility Analysis Framework.
Experts agree that one of the first steps for diagnosing a potential intrusion incident is backing up a RAM image. Traditional investigations of persistent memory are no longer sufficient because, as the capacity of hard drives increases, you need to investigate a huge amount of data to detect an attack. Analysis of volatile memory can support and accelerate these investigations because forensic investigators only need to search through a comparatively small amount of data for clues relating to a successful attack. Additionally, RAM often contains important traces, such as information on running processes or active network connections.
Tapping into RAM is especially important for countering anti-forensics techniques. In some cases, it is possible to extract the passphrase for an encrypted drive from volatile memory. You can also detect non-persistent malware using RAM analysis. In targeted attacks, hackers often use malicious code that is only active in memory, and it leaves no data behind on the disk. This type of malware is virtually undetectable without analyzing volatile memory.

Good Question
:guitar: I think that was a good question(...."OMEGA'.....you freakin ass.......)
To decide whether or not to learn the traditional style of something or a newer, possibly advanced or modified, version of fighting in any technique is always a choice to consider. One that I think we all intelligent choosers have made. Now I've read a few of "OMEGA's" posts and I'm sure you think you know it all, so let me ask you this: You said that some people need to : "Educate" themselves.......WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK WE ARE DOING HERE!! HOW DO YOU EDUCATE YOURSELF!?! HMMM!?! YOU ASK STUPID QUESTIONS TO PEOPLE THAT MAY KNOW THE ANSWERS!! Like on Bullshido forums perhaps???? Jesus Christ! Good question, I personally learned many traditional styles first and then expanded, it all depends on how fast your looking to learn things. I believe in a good base, then I build. And its not like saying "Toyota" either, the question was OBVIOUSELY meant to be broad and general......for the love.....stop replying if you cannot understand the question grasshoppers

Kyalami Race Track
South Africans have indulged their love affair with speed at Kyalami since the early 1960s, when the Johannesburg racetrack opened. It was laid out with generous curves and sweeping corners, making it one of the fastest tracks on the planet. However, political sanctions in 1985 bought an end to grand prix racing at the circuit. In the early 1990s, some of the valuable surrounding land was developed into housing and business estates, restricting the track and turning it into a twisting, narrow circuit that required a whole new level of driving skill, but was unsuited to Formula One.
However, Kyalami's rich heritage remained and, over the past 15 years its operators have successfully created an all-purpose motorsport venue that offers something for everyone – apt, if one considers that kyalami means "my home" in Zulu.
The retention of some of the generous original curves, combined with the newer, bitingly tight corners, make the 4.2km track a world-class ride. Kyalami today features 11 corners and the infamous "mine shaft", and is used for superbike and A1 racing.
Kyalami hosted the World Superbike Series four times between 1998 and 2002, and again in 2009. In 2008 the Gauteng government signed a deal to bring the A1 Grand Prix to Kyalami in 2009, taking over from the Durban street circuit. The A1 GP, a unique event that pits nations rather than teams against one another, was broadcast around the world.
Kyalami's popular Kart Circuit is inside the track and is used for both four-stroke "leisure karting" and the highly professional two-stroke league karting. Both classes enjoy a wide following. It's possible to rent a Super Kart on an hourly basis and get out and race yourself. "Corporate karting" has gained popularity in recent years as a fun team-building activity. On the main track, Fantastic Racing rents out single-seater race cars for brave amateurs.
In addition to local racing events, the Kyalami Driving School offers driver training and education and vehicle testing. Carmakers such as Audi and BMW use the track for defensive driving courses to teach their customers to deal with aquaplaning, skidding, blowouts and the like. The track also hosts exhibitions and corporate events. It is home to a car club and hosts "super car" days, which serve to make Kyalami a vibrant community centre for blood-pumping speed.
Theatre on the Track, in the adjacent Kyalami Business Park, is a privately owned venue that hosts events and provides conferencing facilities. Its banquet seating facility makes it popular for dinner and entertainment events, such as fundraisers and functions, and the catering services are mouth-wateringly superb.
The broader suburb of Kyalami is sometimes referred to as Johannesburg's "mink and manure district", famed for its large rural plots and equine heritage. For those who prefer one-horse power, horses can be ridden on many of the surrounding plots. The nearby Kyalami Country Club also caters to those who enjoy time on the golf course to slow things down even more. The Leeuwkop Golf Course is also in the area, while Beaulieu Nature Reserve adds to Kyalami's bucolic charm.
Head north from Johannesburg on the N1 highway and take the Allandale Road off-ramp (exit 108) west. The road ends at Kyalami racetrack.
Open for public race days on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Penn State Interim Coach Bradley to Meet With Players' Parents
Nov. 10 (Bloomberg) -- Penn State interim football coach Tom Bradley said he will meet with players' parents and recruits tonight, a day after Joe Paterno was fired.
Bradley takes over the program after the university trustees dismissed President Graham Spanier and Paterno amid a scandal involved child sex-abuse charges against former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky. Neither Spanier nor Paterno were charged.
Speaking at a televised news conference from the State College, Pennsylvania, campus, Bradley also said he has heard no discussions about canceling the school's two football games after this weekend's contest against the University of Nebraska.

Standard Chest Tube Compared With a Small Catheter in Treating Malignant Pleural Effusion in Patients With Cancer
Basic Trial Information
|Protocol IDs
|Phase III
|Supportive care, Treatment
|18 and over
|NCI, Other
Trial Description
RATIONALE: It is not yet known whether pleurodesis using a chest tube with infusions of talc is more effective in improving quality of life than pleurodesis using a small catheter in treating malignant pleural effusion.
PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of a chest tube and talc with that of a small catheter in treating malignant pleural effusion in patients who have cancer.
Further Study Information
- Compare the success rate in patients with cancer who undergo pleurodesis using a standard chest tube with talc slurry vs a small (PleurX) catheter for the treatment of a symptomatic unilateral malignant pleural effusion.
- Compare the 30-day effusion control rate in patients treated with these procedures.
- Compare quality of life in these patients at 7-14 and 30-37 days after treatment with these procedures.
- Compare patient acceptance and satisfaction after treatment with these procedures.
- Compare the level of symptoms and dyspnea experienced by patients treated with these procedures.
- Compare the types, causes, and rates of early technical failures of these procedures in these patients.
- Compare the 30-day effusion recurrences in patients treated with these procedures.
- Compare the 60-day durability of pleurodesis in patients treated with these procedures.
- Compare the mortality, morbidity, and common surgical complications in patients treated with these procedures.
OUTLINE: This is a randomized, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to inpatient status (yes vs no), disease type (breast vs lung vs other), and concurrent systemic chemotherapy (yes vs no). Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.
- Arm I: Patients undergo placement of a standard pleural chest tube. Within 36 hours of chest tube placement, patients undergo pleurodesis comprising intrapleural administration of talc slurry once followed by clamping of the chest tube for 2 hours while different patient positions are used to distribute the talc. The chest tube is then unclamped to allow continuous drainage. When the chest tube drainage is less than 150 mL over 24 hours, pleurodesis is assumed and the chest tube is removed.
- Arm II: Patients undergo pleurodesis comprising placement of a small (PleurX) catheter followed by pleural drainage for up to 90 minutes once daily. When the catheter drainage is less than 30 mL per day for 3 consecutive days, pleurodesis is assumed and the catheter is removed.
Quality of life and dyspnea are assessed at baseline and then at 7-14 and 30-37 days after treatment.
Patients are followed at 30 and 60 days.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 530 patients (265 per treatment arm) will be accrued for this study within 3.5 years.
Eligibility Criteria
- Radiologic evidence of a unilateral malignant pleural effusion requiring sclerosis or ongoing drainage because it is symptomatic (dyspnea and/or progressive fatigue)
- An asymptomatic patient is eligible if the patient underwent a prior thoracentesis within the past 2 weeks and was symptomatic before the procedure
- No bilateral effusions by plain chest x-ray
- Histologically or cytologically confirmed solid tumor or hematologic malignancy
- Histologic confirmation of malignant cells in pleural fluid is not required
- Pleural spaces must be naive to pleurodesis attempts
- No prior intrapleural therapy (defined as a chest tube in place or placed to drain an effusion, prior surgical pleurectomy, or any prior chemical or mechanical pleurodesis on the ipsilateral side)
- Placement of a small interventional radiology catheter for temporary drainage is not considered intrapleural therapy as long as no sclerosant medication was given and it has not been in place longer than 10 days
- 18 and over
