Officials struggle to keep LA light rail line safe
A Long Beach woman who has ridden the Blue Line for the last two decades said the worst accident she witnessed was in January 2009, when a blind man fell down a platform and was fatally struck by a train.
"Oh my lord, that was terrible," Jerri Martin said. "But for the most part, I think the line is safe. There are warning signs everywhere, but there'll always be one or two in the bunch who don't obey the rules."
The MTA said it has stepped up enforcement by occasionally launching crackdowns, resulting in hundreds of citations in just a few hours. Khawani said the agency has also gone to schools and community centers to teach children and adults about the dangers around the Blue Line. Yet despite all the efforts he said he stills sees brazen behavior around the track.
On a recent patrol, Miller pointed out numerous examples of passengers opening gates to cross the track even when red lights were flashing in front of them and bells were ringing from the approaching train. Authorities said walkers commonly misjudge the train's speed, or get so focused on a train coming from one direction they'll forget to check the other direction before crossing the tracks.
Miller stopped one young man wearing headphones as he jaywalked across the street, jumped the track and climbed onto a train platform, oblivious to the deputy shouting at him. Miller said he has caught many repeat offenders and come to know them on a first-name basis.
"They usually say, 'I'm late for work, please can I go?' We try to work with everyone, make them understand that we're not issuing tickets to meet some kind of quota," Miller said. "It's about safety."
He said the outreach effort has helped, and he's issued fewer tickets than when he started in 2008.
MTA Chief Executive Art Leahy said the agency has met and exceeded safety requirements, and that it has openly discussed steps made to improve safety.
"We've done more than any system in the nation has done," Leahy said.
He said the agency plans to spend $1 million next year to install more swing gates to slow down people who try to run across the track, including at the crossing where the visually impaired man was killed.
He said the agency was also considering installing inward-facing cameras to monitor train operators. In July, two Blue Line operators struck a police cruiser and an MTA bus in separate accidents that resulted in several injuries. The agency said it hasn't determined why the operators failed to stop.
Meshkati, the USC professor, criticized the MTA for taking a "piecemeal approach" to improving safety by making incremental changes to the line. He said the agency needs to overhaul its safety culture and provide more thorough accident investigation reports to the public.
Meshkati said federal regulators should have direct safety oversight over transit agencies, contending that state regulators can't adequately do the job.
A pending bill being pushed by the Federal Transit Authority proposes to set comprehensive safety guidelines for transit agencies, and provide funding to improve the effectiveness of state safety oversight agencies.
"If we want to continue advancing transit in this country, we need to ensure that the riders' safety is everyone's top priority," FTA Administrator Peter Rogoff said.
Khawani said the MTA has gone beyond some agencies in introducing warning devices, but he said adding too many bells and whistles can confuse people.
"At some point, we've done it all," he said. "It's time for the public to pay attention."

Irina Derevko (Russian: Ирина Деревко; also known as Laura Bristow and as The Man) is a fictional character on the television series Alias, and a main character during the second season of the series. Irina, played by Lena Olin, is the mother of the central character, Sydney Bristow.
When first mentioned she was known as Laura Bristow, the wife of Jack Bristow and mother of Sydney Bristow that died in a car accident when Sydney was just six. Ever since the day of the alleged car accident, Sydney had always believed that her mother had died and that she was professor of English Literature.
Laura Bristow was however, a long-term spy for the Soviet Union. Her real name was Irina Derevko and she was recruited into the KGB at the age of 18 by Alexander Khasinau. She was assigned to infiltrate the United States, and to gain the trust of Jack Bristow, then a CIA agent, in order to steal classified information regarding Project Christmas.
Under the alias of Laura, she approached Jack Bristow posing as an exchange student from the USSR. They eventually married and she became his confidant. In order to seal Jack's allegiance to her, the KGB demanded that she bear him a child. She gave him Sydney. In late 1981, Derevko disappeared after faking her own death. She returned to Russia, where she spent time in a KGB facility as a suspected traitor. Her whereabouts, however, were mostly unknown by the intelligence community at large until the end of season one.
Jack tried all cost to prevent Sydney from discovering the truth about her mother, however, he was forced to reveal the truth to Sydney when she mistakenly thought that he had been the KGB spy. At the end of the first season of Alias, Sydney discovered that her mother was not only alive and well but she was actually the mysterious leader (of a criminal organization) known solely up to that point as "The Man".
Derevko turned herself in to the CIA early in season two. She was used as a source to help bring down the SD-6, and also assisted with other important missions. Jack, premeditating that Irina would betray them at some point, had her framed for giving Sydney false information regarding a mission in Madagascar, for which she was to be executed. Unfortunately for Jack, agent Michael Vaughn learned the truth and helped Sydney stop her mother's execution. Later however, during a mission in Panama, Irina did betray the CIA and joined forces with Arvin Sloane and Sark.
Her subsequent whereabouts were unknown throughout season three, although she continued to be in occasional contact with Jack via Internet Relay Chat, and arranged for her sister, Katya Derevko, to assist Jack and Sydney on occasion. It was also learned that Irina had had an affair with Arvin Sloane and had a second daughter, Nadia Santos.
At the beginning of season four, Sydney learned that Irina had hired a hit man to kill her. Jack Bristow received permission from his superiors to execute Irina, and in "Another Mr. Sloane" he states that he carried out the act himself. Sydney later identified Irina's body in a Moscow medical facility and arranged for her burial in a Moscow crypt (though Sydney was unaware for quite sometime that Irina had ordered her death, until later learning so from Jack).
In the fourth season episode "Ice", Nadia discovers a photograph of Irina holding a baby. Jack tells her that Irina told him that she had a niece. This niece preceded Sydney and was supposedly why Irina wanted a baby of her own. When Sydney was born Irina held her as she had the baby in the photo. No further information regarding the actual identity of the infant was ever presented and neither of the other Derevko sisters ever mentioned having a baby. Elena specifically said (in "Before The Flood") that she never wanted children. Jack presumes that the photo was just another ruse to lure him in.
The shooting of Irina occurred 18 months prior to the season four finale and sometime prior to season three's finale, "Resurrection". The fourth season finale revealed that, in fact, a genetic modification procedure known as Project Helix was used to create a double of Irina, and it is this woman whom Jack shot dead. The hit on Sydney's life was placed by Irina's other sister, Elena Derevko, to set up Jack and make him believe he had killed his wife. The woman who underwent the genetic therapy was an agent of The Covenant, Elena's own criminal organization, who had volunteered to take Irina's place and be assassinated.
The real Irina was imprisoned by Elena and tortured for her knowledge of Rambaldi's secrets. After 18 months, she was rescued by her daughters Sydney and Nadia (whom she met for the first time since Nadia's birth) and Jack. Although technically under arrest by the CIA, Irina was given permission to help stop Elena from bringing about her endgame. After the successful completion of the mission, Jack and Sydney allowed her to escape into the darkness rather than return to America and imprisonment, under the pretense that no one could hold on to Irina Derevko.
During the fifth season, it is revealed that Irina is involved in the Prophet Five organization, although to what extent was unclear. Irina is seen observing Sydney's interrogation under hypnosis at the end of the episode "The Horizon" as it is revealed she had Kelly Peyton kidnap Sydney to recover information on the Horizon. After Sydney appears to reveal the code crucial to her abductors' attempts to find the Horizon, a Rambaldi artifact that would grant its wielder immortality, Irina tells Peyton to make Sydney comfortable and leaves the observation room. In the episode "Maternal Instinct" she reunites briefly with Sydney and Jack, during which they discover her affiliation with Prophet Five and Irina also indicates that she gave the order to kill Michael Vaughn. She also tells Sydney that she never wanted to have children, and that she only did so on orders from the KGB. After helping Sydney deliver her baby (in the midst of an attack by Prophet Five's Kelly Peyton who may or may not have been betraying Irina), Irina disappears again.
Irina finally met her demise in Hong Kong in the series finale. She retrieves the Horizon, which she had traded to Sloane for a pair of missiles, through Kelly Peyton. She ordered Sark to launch the missiles at Washington, D.C. and London. Jack assumed that Sloane wanted to use the missiles not to simply destroy areas with high population densities, but to profit from the reconstruction, as he would gain billions from it. It can be assumed that Irina planned to do the same, as she never (in the show) expressed any interest in genocide or mass murder. Sydney tracked her down and learned that Irina sought the same immortality that Sloane had apparently found. Sydney and Irina battled a final time, with Irina ending up balanced on a skylight, which was about to crack under her weight. Given the choice of reaching back for Sydney and reaching forward for the Horizon, Irina chose the Horizon and plunged through the skylight to her demise.
Besides Lena Olin, several other actresses portrayed Irina in the course of the series:
- Arabella Holzbog portrayed Irina/Laura Bristow in a photograph Sydney kept
- Kate Anthony was the voice of Irina Derevko in the video clip shown in episode 1.19, "Snowman"
- Natasha Pavlovich is the woman actually seen as Irina Derevko in that video clip
- April Webster played Irina when she walks up to Sydney at the end of episode 1.22, "Almost Thirty Years"
- Mía Maestro portrayed Irina/Laura in a photograph seen in episode 4.4, "Ice"
Katya Derevko[edit]
- main article: Katya Derevko
Yekatarina "Katya" Derevko, played by Isabella Rossellini, was the first of Irina's sisters to be announced. She first appeared in the third season to assist Jack and Sydney, but later revealed herself to be allied with The Covenant and was taken into federal custody. In season four she again helped Sydney and Jack to defeat Elena's endgame in exchange for a promise from Jack to work for a pardon and release for her.
Elena Derevko[edit]
- main article: Elena Derevko
Considered the most ruthless of the three Derevko sisters, Elena Derevko, portrayed by Sônia Braga, is first mentioned by Jack Bristow when he meets with Katya during the third season. She is a pivotal part of the fourth season of Alias, with her actions significantly affecting the lives of nieces Sydney and Nadia.

Secondi Takoradi Metropolitan forms part of twenty two (22) Metropolitan, Municipalities and Districts in the Western Region of Ghana. The Administrative Capital of the Metropolitan is Sekondi. This makes it the smallest, but easily the most highly developed. Indeed, it is the third largest metropolis in the whole of Ghana. Close to Takoradi Polytechnic, the Konsaworado flows towards the Buthia lagoon, creating an extensive, beautiful marshland. The Essei lagoon lies between Ekuase and Takoradi. It is located on the coast, about 200km west of Accra. The Metropolitan shares boundaries with Shama District to the east, to the north with Mpohor District, to thewest with Ahanta West District and to the south with Gulf of Guinea.
A portion of the Sekondi-Takoradi stretch of road also known as Beach Road at Asemansiwdo near the BP junction, has caved in, posing a threat to road users.
The Sekondi/Takoradi Metropolitan Assembly has recorded 39 cholera cases in the first two months of the year.
The Western Regional Co-ordinating Council and the Regional Project Co-ordinating Unit on Thursday visited a number of project sites within the Sekondi/Takoradi Metropolitan Area to ascertain progress of work.
Government is mobilizing funds to undertake the second phase of the Takoradi Port Expansion Project, Mrs Dzifa Ativor, Minister of Transport, has said.
The Ghana Railway Development Authority with the Ministry of Transport has formulated a master plan aimed at revamping the almost dead railway sector.

Aquino mulls over going to China-Asean expo
MANILA, Philippines—Should he go to China this time?
President Aquino is sending an official delegation to attend the 10th China-Asean (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) Expo in Nanning, China, set for Sept. 3 to 6.
But Malacañang is unsure whether President Aquino is coming along.
"We'll wait for the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) to confirm (his attendance). We have not received any word if he's pushing through with the trip," said presidential spokesman Edwin Lacierda at a briefing in the Palace.
"When it comes to the foreign trips of the President it will be the DFA that will be making the announcement," Lacierda said.
Aquino sent Roxas, accompanied by Lacierda, as his special envoy to the China-Asean Expo (Caexpo) last year.
Roxas was then tasked with conveying to then Chinese President Hu Jintao through Xi Jinping, the vice president at the time, the Philippines' desire to improve relations with China and help find a peaceful solution to the territorial dispute between the two countries.
PH is host
This year, the Philippines is the assigned "host" of the Caexpo held annually in China to promote the building of the China-Asean free trade area.
"But as to whether he's going, let's wait for the announcement from DFA," said Lacierda at the briefing.
DFA spokesman Raul Hernandez later sent a text message, which read:
"The President has signified his intentions to attend Caexpo in Nanning in September. However, it is not confirmed yet that he will attend."
Apparently explaining the initial reluctance of Aquino to take part in the expo, Lacierda said that the agenda was primarily economic, with a slim chance of talking with China on the West Philippine Sea dispute.
Trade, economic agenda
Lacierda said the Palace's decision to participate in the expo "is one proof of the multifaceted relationship with China."
"We're focusing now on trade and the economic agenda. So we have moved (on). We have focused on other levels of exchanges with China. For instance, just to let you know, there will be visitors from the mainland (to pay a call) on me. That's why we can confidently say that our relationship with China is not limited to the situation in the West Philippine Sea."
He said the issue of the disputed territories in the South China Sea was already being handled by the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea's arbitral tribunal.

Reader Participation Day: Which National Park System Unit Do You Want To Visit, But Probably Won't?
When I first saw the wintry slide show from Gates of Arctic National Park and Preserve, I immediately added the unit to my bucket list of national park adventures. Dogsledding through the park's snow-blanketed wilderness seemed to fit perfectly with my desire to see parts of Alaska that I could only imagine while reading Jack London tales while growing up.
Sadly, getting from here to there is not the easiest thing to accomplish. As the park staff note, "Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve is a remote wilderness area located above the Arctic Circle and far from any roads. Most visitors access the Park and Preserve by bush plane, starting from local villages. Others hike in from the Dalton Highway or the village of Anaktuvuk Pass."
Whether I ever reach Gates of Arctic remains to be seen. For now, it's just an entry on my bucket list. What about you? Which unit of the National Park System would you most like to see...but fear you won't for one reason or another (most likely distance and/or cost)?
I think we might have the same bucket list.
I've been to the Gates but lament that I probably will never get to Isle Royale.
I'll probably never get to visit any of the Alaskan parks not on the road network, but I'd say especially Gates of the Arctic, Noatak, Cape Krusenstern, Bering Land Bridge, Kobuk Valley, and Aniakchak -- just a little too remote for my limitations.
Outside of Alaska, it's a good bet I'll never visit American Samoa or any Pacific Island park outside Hawaii, or any of the Puerto Rico or Virgin Islands parks. And I'd be surprised if I ever get to Kalaupapa.
On the "mainland," Dry Tortugas, Cumberland Island and Cape Lookout seem like the least likely I'd ever visit, but who knows? I did make the effort to visit Isle Royale and St. Croix on past trips, and those seemed unlikely beforehand.
And Hohokam-Pima will probably never experience my presence, either! But who knows: I have been to Yucca House, so anything's possible!
Dry Tortugas
I will be spending most of the summer of 2014 in Alaska. Outside of receiving a large windfall or a free round-trip flight, I will have to choose between Lake Clark and Katmai. Maybe someday I will be lucky enough to return and do the other one - it will stay on my list.
I've been to Denali, but I'd like to see Wrangell-St Elias in Alaska. Maybe go in the fall for good colors ... ? Time is moving on, and $ is getting short, so maybe won't be able to do it..
Gee, thanks for plunging me into deep depression. I took a look at the long list of NPS areas and realized there is simply no way possible to visit all of them unless I go at it full time for the next five or ten years.
Talk about discouraging!
But in the meantime, I intend to fully enjoy the ones I am able to visit.
I don't know where you live, Perpetual Seasonal, but the Dry Tortugas is easy to visit. Ferries run every day from Key West. The park is amazing. Go for it. Good Luck!
As for my list, I put the answer to this question in two categories: those parks that just require enough money and time and those parks that require organization, skills and smarts - in other words, that are difficult, no matter how much money to throw at it.
Money and time - Will I ever get to American Samoa? Sounds like paradise.
Difficult - Gates of the Artic, of course
But there's another category. Why, oh why, didn't I visit Paterson Falls National Historical Park, while I lived in New Jersey for over 30 years? Just never got to it.

House surgeons call off strike
KOCHI: House surgeons at the Cooperative Medical College, Kalamassery, who were on strike since Tuesday night, called off their strike following discussions mediated by M.M. Yousuf, MLA, and Kalamassery Circle Inspector Gigimon K.M.

In a press release issued here, the house surgeons said that instances of bystanders attacking duty doctors at casualty were not new at the medical college. Lack of proper security staff and reluctance to set up a police aid-post at the college had led to this situation, they said. - Staff Reporter

EPI/M-LMG Stack
EPI/M-LMG Stack
I finished up a 6 week hdrol bulk run in December in which I put on about 25 lbs. I am planning on running an EPI/M-LMG cut in March. I should be able to put on a few more pounds, but the main goal is getting rid of the fat I put on when bulking. I was able to keep 100% of my weight, size, and strength gains throughout PCT and beyond. I've actually been putting up PRs even after PCT.
I will be lowering my cal intake a bit, but not too much as I want to stay about the same size. There will be a lot of cardio and a lot of lean meats. I also will be changing up my protein powder from a whey concentrate to an isolate with low carbs.
Here is the plan so far:
CEL M-LMG 50/75/75/75/100/100 - I may change the dosage.
Nolva 20/20/10/10 - I have heard Clomid may be a better choice for this stack.
DS Triazole or DS Activate Xtreme - Bridged with Nolva for additional 4 weeks
DS Lean Xtreme
MP Assault
Supp Staples - Used on-cycle and PCT
AI Cycle Support
NOW 3-6-9 Omega
NOW Whey Protein Isolate
Animal Flex
Animal Pak
Any thoughts?

Keeping division in Everett was best for ATS, company officials say
But that's not what the aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul company did.
"We decided there was not much of a choice," said Matt Yerbic, ATS president. "We knew we had to keep it here in Everett," because of the talent pool and the proximity of customers and other suppliers.
Yerbic spoke Thursday at the ATS Components division's new location, just off Airport Road and a couple of miles from the company's main overhaul buildings at the south end of the airport. ATS moved components work late last year into the newly renovated 70,000-square foot facility at 2600 W. Casino Road in Everett. The company and local government and industry leaders gathered Thursday to mark ATS' decision to remain in the area.
ATS employs more than 1,000 people here, with most of those workers at the company's main campus at Paine Field, where ATS regularly maintains and repairs aircraft -- mostly Boeing jets -- for airline customers. In 2010, ATS let Boeing take over one of its hangars, which the jet maker is using to rework dozens of 787s. Boeing has to make changes to already-built Dreamliners to bring them up to delivery standard.
Last year, ATS put up a building at Paine Field to help offset the loss of the hangar. It shed about 100 positions as the company's footprint shrunk. But Yerbic noted that the 100 positions lost allowed Boeing to add about 4,000 workers at ATS's former hangar.
"We have a little less capacity than we used to," Yerbic said.
But he hopes to double employment in a few years at the new components site celebrated Thursday, where 100 people restore pieces of Boeing jets -- doors, wing edges and rudders -- to flyable condition. About 25 percent of the material worked on by ATS's components division goes back into airplanes that are being overhauled by the company at Paine Field, Yerbic said. The rest are used as spares for airlines like Southwest, Delta and Alaska.
It's a different segment of the aerospace business that John Monroe, who consults for Economic Alliance Snohomish County, would like to see grow. Monroe noted that ATS adds diversity to the aerospace industry in the county because it provides maintenance on Boeing jets for the life of the aircraft.
"Those are service demands (and jobs) that will never disappear," said Monroe, a retired Boeing executive.
ATS has a reputation in the industry for "getting it done," said Everett Mayor Ray Stephanson. The city is doing its part to retain and attract businesses like ATS, he said.
The same is true for Snohomish County, said County Executive Aaron Reardon.
"In a competitive economy, there's nowhere more competitive than Snohomish County," he said.
Part of staying competitive means having enough skilled workers for not only ATS but also Boeing, which tends to rob suppliers of more-skilled workers during an up cycle in the commercial jet market. Yerbic said ATS is looking for about 70 workers in Everett.
"Many of the people in this (components' facility) have been part of the aerospace ecosystem in the Puget Sound region for decades," he said.

Nazi's 100th birthday sparks resentment in Rome
More News from Agence France-Presse
ROME—The 100th birthday of one of the last Nazi criminals alive has sparked calls for a public apology from relatives of his victims 69 years after their murder and resentment over his freedom of movement.
Erich Priebke, who turns 100 on Monday, was sentenced to life in prison in 1998 for his role in the 1944 Ardeatine caves massacre in Italy in which 335 hostages including 75 Jews were executed as a reprisal for a partisan attack on German soldiers which had left 33 dead.
Adolf Hitler is reported to have given the order for 10 Italians to be shot for every dead German, and Priebke was accused not only of taking part in the executions but also giving the order for five extra prisoners brought erroneously to the caves to be killed.
After the war, Priebke fled to Argentina where he lived until Italy requested his extradition in 1995 and put him on trial. In 1999, he pleaded poor health and old age and was given permission to serve the rest of his sentence under house arrest.
Lawyer Sebastiano Di Lascio, who represents a families' association, said Priebke—who never denied the crimes—should finally confess.
"I just hope that at least for his 100th birthday he realises what he has done and finds the courage to ask forgiveness," he said.
A party held in the countryside to celebrate Priebke's 90th birthday angered relatives of his victims and the Jewish community.
"I really hope nothing similar will take place this time: it would be an offense not only to his victims but to all holocaust victims," leftist deputy Sergio Boccadutri said.
There have also been recurring complaints over his freedom of movement; photographs published by the Italian weekly Oggi in April 2011 showed Priebke dining at a restaurant with friends, riding a scooter and shopping in a local supermarket.
A close friend Mario Merlino, nicknamed 'professor black' for his neo-fascist past, told the Corriere della Sera daily that the former SS officer "has got a lot closer to Christianity, perhaps because he feels his end is near. He reads sacred texts, he meditates. He is deaf and has almost entirely lost his memory."
"We will make him remember," said Angelo Sermoneta, 65, who runs Rome's historical Jewish community association, Ragazzi del 48.
"The Italian authorities treat him too well. He is escorted on walks, to the park, to restaurants. He who has denied so many people an old age is living such a serene one himself," he said.

This document covers the use of various tools and metrics associated with depth of coverage.
The variant callers generate two main coverage annotation metrics: the allele depth per sample (AD) and overall depth of coverage (DP, available both per sample and across all samples, with important differences), controlled by the following annotator modules:
At the sample level, these annotations are highly complementary metrics that provide two important ways of thinking about the depth of the data available for a given sample at a given site. The key difference is that the AD metric is based on unfiltered read counts while the sample-level DP is based on filtered read counts (see tool documentation for a list of read filters that are applied by default for each tool). As a result, they should be interpreted differently.
The sample-level DP is in some sense reflective of the power I have to determine the genotype of the sample at this site, while the AD tells me how many times I saw each of the REF and ALT alleles in the reads, free of any bias potentially introduced by filtering the reads. If, for example, I believe there really is a an A/T polymorphism at a site, then I would like to know the counts of A and T bases in this sample, even for reads with poor mapping quality that would normally be excluded from the statistical calculations going into GQ and QUAL.
Note that because the AD includes reads and bases that were filtered by the caller (and in case of indels, is based on a statistical computation), it should not be used to make assumptions about the genotype that it is associated with. Ultimately, the phred-scaled genotype likelihoods (PLs) are what determines the genotype calls.
TO BE CONTINUED... meanwhile, check out the DepthOfCoverage and DiagnoseTargets tool docs.
A new tool has been released!
Check out the documentation at DepthPerAlleleBySample.
I found some strange entries for indels in my VCF file created by the Unified Genotyper. For example:
4 184513470 . TC T 4009 PASS AC=4;AF=0.250;AN=16;BaseQRankSum=1.972;DP=1315;DS;FS=3.466;HaplotypeScore=537.6937;MLEAC=4;MLEAF=0.250;MQ=52.55;MQ0=0;MQRankSum=-10.581;QD=4.55;ReadPosRankSum=-10.128;SB=-3.500e+01;set=variant2 GT:AD:DP:GQ:PL 0/1:230,0:239:99:282,0,5011 0/0:92,0:95:99:0,133,2435
The first sample has genotype 0/1 with a good GQ value. However, according the allele depth field, there is no read supporting the deletion. When I look at the reads using the IGV, I find some reads supporting the deletion for the first sample (and even some for the second one).
Moreover, when I looked at the AD values for SNPs, I noticed the the sum of all AD values is much less than the coverage shown in the IGV. I filtered duplicated reads in the IGV.
Can someone please give an explanation? This link http://www.broadinstitute.org/gatk/gatkdocs/org_broadinstitute_sting_gatk_walkers_annotator_DepthPerAlleleBySample.html explains the difference between AD and DP, but does not help in my case.
Best greetings, Hans-Ulrich

Optical Observations of
pdf ps
John Bally
Department of Astronomy,
University of Massachusetts, Amherst, MA 01002
One of the outstanding
problems of astronomy concerns the nature of quasars. Many of these objects
show variations in energy output at optical as well as radio frequencies. The
existence of correlations between the two frequency bands may provide important
clues to the physical nature of these sources. Whether or not the theory of
synchrotron radiation by fast particles, which seems capable of explaining
certain aspects of radio variability, can also explain the optical radiation
may well be decided by such measurements. As with most variable stars,
professional observers do not have the equipment or manpower to provide
adequate data coverage and amateurs with large telescopes or photographic
equipment have an opportunity to contribute significantly to this field. A
number of radio-active quasars have optical counterparts as bright as
m(sub)v=13 or brighter and could provide a challenge to amateurs with
appropriate equipment.

Lawson lifts Nuggets past Lakers
More News from Agence France-Presse
DENVER, Colorado — Ty Lawson scored 22 points and had eight assists as the Denver Nuggets scored 78 points in the paint en route to a 119-108 thrashing of the mistake-prone Los Angeles Lakers on Monday.
Wilson Chandler scored 23 points to lead Denver, who have won three of their past four National Basketball League games. Chandler was filling in for injured Danilo Gallinari.
The Nuggets had a huge 78-50 point advantage in the paint and also dominated on the free-throw line. The Lakers missed 17 of 31 free throws and turned the ball over 15 times.
Lakers forward Dwight Howard went just three-of-14 from the line.
Lawson has been red-hot lately and has scored 20 or more points in seven consecutive games. Heading into Monday's contest he was averaging 26.2 points in his previous half dozen games.
Five-time NBA champion Kobe Bryant scored a team-high 29 points and had nine assists and six rebounds for the Lakers, who had their three-game win streak snapped. Bryant has averaged over 28 points in his last five games.
Howard finished with 15 points and 14 rebounds in the loss.
Denver seized command in the first half and never looked back. The Nuggets went on a 14-4 run late in the first quarter to take a 35-29 lead.
Kenneth Faried scored five of seven points in one stretch in the second as the Nuggets took a 52-37 lead and then led 67-54 at halftime.
The Lakers never got within less than seven points in the fourth quarter.
After visiting Denver, the Lakers return to Staples Center arena for back-to-back games versus Minnesota and Atlanta.

Tanya Morgan - Worldmade
Artist: Tanya Morgan
Producer: 6th Sense
Album: Rubber Souls
Avg Rating: 3.3 ( 3 votes )
Struggling to punch your ballot for the DJBooth's Best Indie Hip Hop Album of 2013 award? Well, Tanya Morgan is out for your vote. Their new video for Worldmade (off of the nominated project, Rubber Souls LP) is a strong campaign tool. The visuals capture the intense, goose bump-inducing vibe of the song, which is thanks to shots of the duo in the studio, as well as training shots of undefeated Brooklyn Muay Thai fighter, Angela 'Overkill' Hill. The live band instrumentals (thank you, 6th Sense) give the pair's vocals a special pop and allows there deep, painfully truthful bars to ring out. Von Pea says it best, "It speaks on how we all value ourselves and each other, and how that leads to the way we are valued by those in positions to help us…the people vs our leaders." If you haven't cast your vote just yet, be sure to listen to their Rubber Souls LP before doing so.

Monday's MLB Tip Sheet
By Brad Young
As the month of July starts to wind down, the pennant races are beginning to heat up. Teams are approaching 100 games right now, meaning there are just over 60 matchups to go until the postseason. Monday's schedule features six National League games and seven in the American League, so let's break down a couple key contests.
**Brewers (McClung) at Cardinals (Pineiro)**
-Caesars Palace installed St. Louis as a $1.20 home 'chalk' over Milwaukee, with the total set at nine 'over' (minus $1.20). ESPN will provide coverage of this National League Central contest beginning at 7:05 p.m. ET.
-Milwaukee right-hander Seth McClung (4-4, 4.39 ERA) has dropped back-to-back outings after a July 12 setback to Cincinnati as a $1.03 home underdog, 8-2. The 6-foot-6 hurler went 6 1/3 innings, allowing three runs on three hits (one home run) with three walks and seven strikeouts.
-The combined 10 runs toppled the 8½-run closing total, ending a string that saw the 'under' cash in eight of his previous nine starts.
-McClung, in the league since 2003, has not started against the Cardinals the previous few seasons.
-St. Louis pitcher Joel Pineiro (3-4, 4.52 ERA) is off a July 13 no-decision against Pittsburgh. The Puerto Rico native went 5 2/3 innings, surrendering six runs on 10 hits with three walks and two strikeouts.
-The Cardinals eventually prevailed as a $1.10 road 'chalk,' 11-6, while the combined 17 runs eclipsed the 9½-point closing total. The 'over' has gone 3-1 his last four starts.
-The 29-year-old received a no-decision against the Brewers May 10 as a $1.60 road underdog. The right-hander was reached for two runs on four hits with three walks and four strikeouts over 6 1/3 innings.
-The Cardinals eventually prevailed, 5-3, while the combined eight runs slithered 'under' the 8 ½-run closing total.
**Cubs (Harden) at Diamondbacks (Johnson)**
-Caesars Palace opened Chicago as a $1.30 road favorite over Arizona, with the total listed at eight. This game is slated to start at 9:40 p.m. ET.
-Chicago's Rich Harden gets his second start with the club after being traded from Oakland. The 26-year-old right-hander earned a no-decision against San Francisco July 12, tossing 5 1/3 innings of scoreless ball on five hits with three walks and 10 strikeouts.
-The Cubs eventually prevailed in extra innings, 8-7, while the combined 15 runs eclipsed the 9½-run closing total. The 'over' is 2-0-1 his last three starts.
-Harden has not started against the Diamondbacks the past few years.
-Arizona southpaw Randy Johnson (6-7, 5.23 ERA) has recorded consecutive victories after upending Philadelphia July 12 as a $1.10 road underdog, 10-4. The veteran hurler went six innings, yielding four runs on five hits (two home runs) with a walk and three strikeouts.
-The combined 14 runs toppled the 9½ -run closing total, helping the 'over' improve to 4-2 his last six starts.
-Johnson, in the league since 1988, has not started against the Cubs the last few seasons.
**Twins (Blackburn) at Yankees (Ponson)**
-Caesars Palace lists New York as a $1.25 home 'chalk' over Minnesota, with the total set at 9½. This American League tilt is scheduled to begin at 7:05 p.m. ET.
-Minnesota pitcher Nick Blackburn (7-5, 3.65 ERA) toes the rubber for the first time since July 13 when he lost to Detroit as a $1.32 road underdog, 4-2. The two-year veteran tossed seven innings, allowing three runs (two earned) on five hits (one home run) with two walks and four strikeouts.
-The combined six runs failed to eclipse the nine-run closing total. The 'over/under' has alternated his last six starts.
-Blackburn notched a no-decision against the Yankees June 1, yielding one run on five hits (one home run) with three walks and three strikeouts over 4 1/3 innings. The Twins eventually won that contest as a $1.10 home underdog, 5-1. The combined six runs went 'under' the nine-run closing total.
-New York's Sidney Ponson (5-1, 3.96 ERA) is off back-to-back no decisions after his July 9 matchup with Tampa Bay. The Aruba native went six innings, surrendering one run on five hits (one home run) with two walks and four strikeouts.
-The Yankees eventually prevailed as a $1.20 home favorite, 2-1, while the combined three runs never seriously threatened the 10 ½-run closing total. The 'under' has cashed in two of his last three starts.
-Ponson is 1-0 against the Twins this season in two starts, going a combined 14 1/3 innings while being reached for six runs (two earned) on 13 hits with two walks and nine strikeouts. The Yankees prevailed as a $1.40 road underdog, 10-1, while falling as a $1.08 home selection, 12-6. The 'over' cashed in both contests.
**Red Sox (Lester) at Mariners (Washburn)**
-Caesars Palace opened Boston as a $1.30 road favorite over Seattle, with the total listed at nine 'under' (minus $1.20). First pitch is slated for 10:10 p.m. ET.
-Boston left-hander Jon Lester (7-3, 3.38 ERA) picked up a no-decision in a July 8 matchup with Minnesota. The 6-foot-2 hurler was tagged for five runs on nine hits with three walks and six strikeouts over 7 1/3 innings.
-The Red Sox eventually prevailed as a $1.70 home 'chalk,' 6-5, while the combined 11 runs toppled the 9½-run closing total. Boston has won seven of Lester's last eight starts.
-The three-year veteran received a no-decision against the Mariners last year after pitching five innings and yielding four runs on eight hits (one home run) with two walks and four strikeouts. The Red Sox eventually dropped that contest as a $1.10 road favorite, 7-4. The combined 11 runs went 'over' the 9½-run closing total.
-Seattle southpaw Jarrod Washburn (4-8, 4.88 ERA) is off a July 12 no-decision against Kansas City. The 33-year-old was reached for three runs (one earned) on seven hits with a walk and a strikeout over six innings.
-The Mariners eventually dropped that contest as a $1.20 road underdog, 5-4, while the combined nine runs slithered 'over' the 8½-run closing total. The 'under' had gone 6-0-1 his previous seven starts.
-Washburn picked up a no-decision against the Red Sox last season after tossing 6 1/3 innings while surrendering four runs on eight hits with two walks and four strikeouts. The Mariners eventually lost that game as a $1.30 home underdog, 4-3, while the combined seven runs went 'under' the 8 ½-run closing total.

Betting totals in the big leagues
By JORDAN CAMPBELL
One important aspect of betting totals in baseball is knowing the various stadiums. Certainly starting pitchers, offensive and defensive stats come into play when oddsmakers are making totals on games.
The wind direction, too, is a factor and you may have noticed that some Cubs' games in Wrigley Field aren't posted until the day of the game. It's not called the Windy City for nothing, and bookies don't want to get caught posting an overnight total of 7½ for a Wrigley Field game with Carlos Zambrano pitching, then finding out the next morning that the wind is blowing out 20 miles an hour to center.
The configurations of each park is also important to look at, especially with so many parks having been built over the last decade. San Diego's relatively new Petco park is a pitcher's paradise. The correlation is striking in two areas: San Diego is the worst offensive team in baseball, plus they started 23-14 under the total at home. That's a solid winning percentage just wagering blindly on the under. Not that I would recommend ever blindly wagering on anything!
You may recall a few years ago when San Diego slugger Ryan Klesko became frustrated, as he couldn't hit home runs at home anymore because the Padres new park was so big. In short, it's a great pitcher's park and a very difficult home run park. Two years the Padres were 40-35 under the total at home averaging 3.7 runs. When they went on the road, however, the offense averaged 5.1 runs. Not surprisingly, during the past few seasons, they've been a solid 'under the total team' at home.
Shea Stadium in New York, the home of the Mets, is another pitcher-friendly park, along with Dodger stadium, (although not quite as much as it once was) Oakland and Washington. Notice that this season the Nationals average 3.4 runs at home, but 3.8 runs on the road. Certainly the park plays a key role in this disparity, leading to a 28-21-1 start under the total at home. In they're most recent game here, the Nationals failed to score a single run. Conversely, in their most recent road game, they put up a five-spot.
Due to playing in a pitcher friendly park, it's essential that the Dodgers have some kind of speed in the lineup, particularly atop the order. That's why the loss of Rafael Furcal in the first half of the season was such a huge blow. He's an outstanding leadoff hitter atop the order, one who can get on base and jumpstart an offense by helping to manufacture runs. The Dodgers were 18-14 in games started by Furcal, then went 12-24 in games after he got hurt.
Parks don't always remain the same either. A few years back, Dodger Stadium underwent some renovations which saw new seats added into areas which had previously been on the field and part of foul ball terrritory. This did have an effect but not quite as much as some may have expected. At the time Dodger catcher David Ross was quoted as saying that he expected the effect to be relatively minimal. "It may be five or six balls in foul ground," he said. "I don't think there's that many outs made in that area. The pitchers' park is more because of the heavy air at night in L.A. During the day, a ball flies. At night, it doesn't come close to going out."
How about Coors Field? Several years ago, it was common to see over/under lines of 13, 14 or 15 in games played in the high altitude of Colorado. Those numbers have gradually come down though and today we now routinely see over/under numbers of 9, 9 1/2 or 10. Despite the lines being adjusted, 24 of 45 games (excluding one push) managed to stay below the total there.
Other offensive parks, besides Coors, include Philadelphia, Boston, Cincinnati, Texas, Houston, Milwaukee, Minnesota and Toronto. Indoor parks like the Metrodome can be tough on pitchers. Not only does the artificial turf cause the ball to scoot faster making it tougher on infielders, but the lack of wind can make indoor places easier home run parks. We may have to include Arizona into this mix, another indoor facility. This season the Diamondbacks are averaging roughly four runs per game on the road, but more than five per game at home. They're hitting a healthy .277 at home but a dismal .220 on the road.
The Oakland A's visited last month in an Interleague game and scored 15 runs, most off of ace Brandon Webb. The next night Arizona returned the favor by scoring 11 runs. The previous two days the weak hitting Royals came to Arizona and scored 12 and eight runs in consecutive games. Anyway, the point is that to be a successful total handicapper, one needs to know the parks and their various dimensions.

Monday's streaking and slumping starters
By JUSTIN BANKS
Ervin Santana, Los Angeles Angels (11-3, 3.34)
Santana is putting together the best season of his young MLB career and he has the numbers to prove it. The fourth-year starter is 3-0 with a 3.43 ERA in his past five starts and is coming off a 10-strikeout shutout triumph over the Oakland Athletics.
Santana ranks third in the AL with 122 strikeouts and has at least six in each of his last seven starts. In his last home start, the righty surrendered just two earned runs and retired seven in a 5-3 triumph against the A's.
LA is 4-1 in Santana's last five starts against AL Central opponents and is 35-16 in his last 51 starts at Angels Stadium.
Luke Hochevar, Kansas City (6-7, 5.10)
Hochevar has struggled in his second MLB season. The right-hander is 1-2 in his last three starts with a 7.41 ERA in 17 IP. Hochevar has conceded 14 ERs and one HR in that period.
Hochevar is 4-3 with a 3.21 ERA in seven-career starts in KC and has just three triumphs in his last 10 overall outings.
Kansas City is 1-5 in its last six home games against a right-handed starter and is 1-4 in Hochevar's last five starts after a Quality Start.
Runelvys Hernandez, Houston Astros (0-3, 10.29)
Hernandez has been throwing trash since he stepped of the plane in Houston. The longtime Royals pitcher is winless in his first three starts, including a recent loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates in which he surrendered 13 hits, 10 earned runs and two homers in four IP.
Hernandez' last played in the big leagues in 2006 and finished the season with a 6-10 record and a lofty 6.48 ERA. The right-hander is also 0-1 with a 22.50 ERA in one career start against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Houston is 6-13 in its last 19 against the NL Central and is 1-4 in its last five against the Pirates.
Homer Bailey, Cincinnati Reds (0-3, 7.0)
Bailey isn't exactly turning heads in his second MLB season. In four starts, the right-hander is 0-3 with a lofty 7.00 ERA and 1.72 WHIP.
Bailey is 0-2 at home with an astronomical 15.00 ERA and 3.00 WHIP. In his last two home starts he has surrendered 10 earned runs in a mere 5.3 IP.
The Reds are 0-4 in Bailey's last four starts and are 1-4 in their last five matches against the San Diego Padres.

Chicago Cubs at Arizona (9:40 p.m. EDT). Rich Harden makes his second start for the Cubs when the NL Central leaders take on Randy Johnson (6-7) and the Diamondbacks.
-Willie Harris, Nationals, had five RBIs and reached base five times as Washington set a season high for runs in a 15-6 rout of Atlanta.
-Jose Reyes, Mets, had four hits and scored three runs in New York's 7-5, 10-inning win over Cincinnati.
-Justin Verlander, Tigers, came within an out of completing a three-hitter in Detroit's 5-1 win over Baltimore.
-Alex Rios, Blue Jays, homered and hit two doubles to help Toronto beat Tampa Bay 9-4.
-Matt Holliday, Rockies, hit his 16th home run and had three hits in Colorado's 11-3 win over Pittsburgh.
-Ryan Braun, Brewers, drove in a career-high five runs in Milwaukee's 7-4 victory over San Francisco.
Francisco Rodriguez became the fastest pitcher to 40 saves in big league history when he closed out the Los Angeles Angels' 5-3 victory over Boston. Rodriguez, who struck out the side in the ninth inning, reached 40 saves in 98 games - 10 faster than John Smoltz did five years ago.
Chicago White Sox slugger Jermaine Dye left the game early against the Kansas City Royals after getting hit in the right knee by a pitch. Royals reliever Horacio Ramirez hit Dye with a pitch in the fourth inning. Dye fell to the ground in obvious pain. He was helped off the field by two trainers. The team said Dye has a bruised right knee. X-rays were negative and he is day-to-day. ... Seattle's Carlos Silva left his start with lower back tightness after allowing four runs in three-plus innings to Cleveland. ... Philadelphia right fielder Geoff Jenkins bruised his shoulder when he was hit by the barrel of his broken bat. Jenkins came out of a game at Florida but is expected to be ready for the start of the Phillies' series Tuesday against the New York Mets.
Ray Durham wore a Giants uniform for the last time, then packed up his locker and went to join the Milwaukee Brewers on the other side of the ballpark before leaving town with his new team. San Francisco traded the veteran second baseman to the Brewers for two minor leaguers, with both clubs waiting until after the teams played Sunday to announce the swap. That, in fact, was per Durham's request as he didn't want to suit up for his first game for Milwaukee against the Giants. ``Personally it was out of respect for the guys in this locker room,'' Durham said, saying his goodbyes in the Giants' clubhouse. ``It really was a stipulation I asked for.''
Baltimore lost 5-1 to Justin Verlander and Detroit, the Orioles' 15th consecutive Sunday loss. Baltimore's 15-game skid on Sundays is the longest on any given day since Arizona dropped 15 in a row on Saturdays in 2004, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. Baltimore has been outscored 81-41 in Sunday games since winning its first one of the season, at home against Seattle.
Ryan Dempster struck out seven in eight shutout innings to earn his first road victory in two years and the Cubs snapped a three-game losing streak with a 9-0 win over Houston. Dempster (11-4) allowed six hits, all singles, and got his first road win since June 2, 2006, at St. Louis. He's 10-1 in 12 starts at Wrigley Field this season, but was 0-3 with a 4.03 ERA in eight starts away from home before Sunday. ``Such a relief,'' Dempster said with a smile. ``All the questions can stop now.''
Aaron Miles' grand slam in the ninth inning, the first game-ending hit of his career, helped St. Louis beat San Diego 9-5. The 5-foot-8, 175-pound Miles has only seven homers in three seasons with the Cardinals. ``That's a feeling I wasn't sure I was going to get to experience, that walk-off homer,'' Miles said. ``I've never done it before, not in the minor leagues or on any field. That's a great feeling.''
Casey Kotchman hit a two-run double to cap a three-run rally in the eighth inning, and the Los Angeles Angels beat Boston 5-3 for their fifth straight victory. The Angels also completed their first three-game sweep of the Red Sox in seven years. Vladimir Guerrero and Torii Hunter homered on consecutive pitches for the Angels, who became the first team to 60 wins. They improved to 5-1 against the defending World Series champions, clinching their first season series against Boston since 2001.
Jason Isringhausen of St. Louis blew another save in a 9-5 win over San Diego. After Troy Glaus' three-run homer off Heath Bell in the eighth gave the Cardinals a two-run lead, the Padres rallied against Isringhausen, who blew his eighth save in 19 chances. He was booed by a sellout crowd after allowing three straight one-out hits, including an RBI double by Edgar Gonzalez. Isringhausen got the shot at his first save since May 5 because replacement closer Ryan Franklin, who is 14-for-18, needed a day off after a two-inning save on Saturday. ``No matter how much a veteran he is, he's trying to do more,'' manager Tony La Russa said. ``And today, it was less.''
Cleveland's Cliff Lee gave up 11 hits in a complete game and the Indians beat the Mariners 6-2. He became the first Indians pitcher to yield at least 11 hits in a complete-game win since Charles Nagy, who gave up 13 against Baltimore on June 17, 1992, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
``I don't like the way they were hitting my players. They hit six guys this week and all of a sudden the umpires give a warning. I was kind of upset about it.'' - White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen about being warned after a Chicago pitcher threw inside to Billy Butler of Kansas City. Jermaine Dye was hit by a pitch for the second straight game and left the game earlier.
Re: MLB News and Notes July 21
Monday's MLB Research
Toronto vs. Baltimore
Litsh faces Liz here as Toronto hits the road off of a big win at Tampa Bay. Litsch lasted less than 3 innings against the Yankees in his last start, and before that, he gave up 6 runs in just over 5 innings, he is 1-5-2 over his last 8 starts and has struggled, do keep in mind though that the Bluejays struggle in scoring runs overall, Liz has had horrendous starts himself against Texas at home where he gave up 4 runs in less than 4 innings and at Boston where he gave up 8 runs in just over 2 innings. Liz has pitched in 7 straight overs and 9 of 10 overs, suprisingly though the public favors the under a bit more, despite Liz and Litsch both giving up their fair share of runs lately, one could expect them to bounce-back here, but I just don't see it - lean on the over here.
Minny vs. New York
I tell you what, I love watching the Twins play. They have the knack of coming back and winning ballgames which the old braves used to have and it is fun watching this team with their pitching, defense and timely hitting. Blackburn has pitched 3 straight quality starts, I don't beleive he's ever put together 4 straight quality starts, but he did pitch great at Detroit and at Boston, he also beat the Yankees earlier this year by holding them to just 1 run in a 5-1 victory, also cashing in as a +104 dog, Ponson, known as the proverbial ******* because of his crappy attitude towards others in the clubhouse, is 5-1 this year and has an ERA just under 4 remarkably. The public is backing the Yankees at a 2:1 clip here, Ponson has helped his team win their last 7 of 10 starts, and the Yankees to win their last 3, but he rarely puts together back to back wins, I actually lean on the kid here and the Twins as I just trust Blackburn more, even though the Yankees have a bit of revenge against him.
Oakland vs. Tampa Bay
I am tempted to take Oakland just on the pure dog price alone here hovering around +180 right now, granted, Tampa Bay does come off a beat down at home so they will likely be fired up in facing Eveland, keep in mind that Eveland pitched a complete game 3 hitter and gave up just 1 run when he faced TB at home last time so the Rays have revenge in that aspect as well, Eveland does come off a loss though and he has not put together back to back losses at least in his last 10 starts, and in fact, his team has not lost back to back ballgames when he has pitched all year:
You should see a trend here, of a win, loss, win, loss, etc... That doesn't mean it carries today, it just means typically he shows up afte his team lost from his previous start. Kaz has lost back to back starts and he is looking to bounce-back after a tough loss at Cleveland and before that he lost to the Yankees despite pitching well. I actually lean on the A's here despite the Drays having revenge on young Eveland from that complete game he pitched against them back on may, a bit tempted at the A's +1.5 here as well.
Detroit vs. Kansas City
Miner makes his first start in quite some time for the Tigers tomorrow and it's on the road at KC, the public doesn't seem to mind though as they back him at 58%, he was 7-6 last year, Hochevar pitched great against Seatlte in his last start at home, but who doesn't, plus, he has a tendency to give up far too many hits despite being able to pick up some wins, this game could go either way, wouldn't be surprised to see an over as Hochevar comes off a great start, frankly a tossup game.
Texas vs. White Sox
Texas comes into this game with 51 wins, heck, just 3 less than the White Sox, Hurley has some great stats in that he gives up about a hit an inning, but overall has pitched very well for the Rangers this year, he beat Philly at home as a +113 underdog as the rangers won 5-1, he gave up 2 runs at Houston and 2 runs to Atlanta at home. Vasquez comes off a terrible start at KC, so he is on a bounce-back here, but there is no reason why he should be favored by this much, after all the Ranger offense is just as good, and the Hurley kid has pitched far better than Vasquez thus far, heck, the White sox have not faced Hurley this year as well so advanage Hurley, don't get me wrong, Vasquez is on a bounce-back here so one will be playing with fire a bit, and he has not lost back to back ballgames in over 10 games, if anything a lean on the rangers for pure value despite vasquez being on the bounce-back and a small lean on the under as well.
Cleveland vs. Angels
The Indians had a good home stand of late, but now have to hit the road where they are 17-32 on the year, Byrd is 3-10 on the year and the juice on Santana shows how bad the year has been for the Indians and Byrd, Byrd hasn't picked up a win since June 6th, the Indians have lost 9 of the last 10 games he has started, he has been giving up a ton of hits and has not put together back to back quality starts in quite some time and his last start can be considered quality for his standards this year, Santana is 11-3 this year and comes off a dominating performance at Oakland where he gave up 0 runs in 7 innings in what was a bounce-back game for him, he has at times though been having trouble putting together back to back starts, but one has to lean on the indians run-line here, i'm not a fan of the run-line but it has value here. This is likely to be a high scoring game as an 8.5 line with Byrd is fairly small. The question is, can the Indians score as the Angels should be able to get to Byrd.
Bostonvs. Seattle
Nearly 70% favor Boston here on the road off a loss, of course, I'm glad they lost considering I was on the Angels for my POD, Lester comes off a fortunate 6-5 win at home against Minny in his last start, but he is on for a bounce-back here, Wash had a great start against KC and picked up a no-decision besides pitching exceptionally well as the bullpen blew it for him late, he has pitched 7 of 9 quality starts of late and hasn't pitched a back to back over ballgame since May 25th. Heck, the guy had pitched in 7 straight unders before the last over at KC and that game truly shouldn't have gone over. I actually lean on the under here, as this should be a competitive pitching contest.
Re: MLB News and Notes July 21
Chan's MLB money arms: Week of July 21
By DAVID CHAN
This column has produced a 16-5 record over the past five weeks, proving that a little homework can go a long way when it comes to building baseball bankrolls.
It's the start of another busy week on the diamond and here are four starters that could earn you some extra loot over the next several days.
Scott Kazmir, Tampa Bay Rays, Monday vs. Oakland
The price is going to be rather steep, but you have to like Kazmir's chances against the light-hitting A's on Monday. After being forced into duty for an inning in last week's All-Star Game, Kazmir returns to the mound for his first start since July 13th.
The break couldn't have come at a better time, as the Rays ace had been struggling. He hasn't lasted beyond the sixth inning in any of his last six starts and has seen his ERA climb back above three. To me, this looks like the perfect spot to get back on track.
Kazmir owns a 5-1 career record against the A's, recording a 2.96 ERA along the way. He is 4-1 with a 1.96 ERA at Tropicana Field this year. His recent problems may have a lot to do with the fact that five of his last eight starts have come on the road.
Ubaldo Jimenez, Colorado Rockies, Tuesday vs. Los Angeles
Jimenez's overall numbers will steer most bettors away on Tuesday, but I'm expecting a strong outing from the 24-year old right-hander.
As bad as the Rockies have been this season, they've been playing well behind Jimenez. They've been victorious in six of his last nine starts and now that he's starting to regain his command, that record should only improve.
Over his last 20 innings pitched, Jimenez has given up only 15 hits and six earned runs. He's also struck out 19 batters over that time. He owns a fine 4-2 record with a 2.80 ERA at Coors Field this season. Also helping his cause on Tuesday is his opponent, the Los Angeles Dodgers. He is undefeated in four career starts against them.
Ricky Nolasco, Florida Marlins, Wednesday vs. Atlanta
I really like what I've seen from Nolasco in recent weeks. The Marlins have won seven of his last eight starts and he has been working deep into ball games.
Nolasco has gone at least seven innings in six of his last seven starts. His command has been impressive with a 50:5 strikeout-to-walk ratio over that stretch. He is quietly becoming the ace of this Marlins staff.
The betting markets still haven't caught up to Nolasco and they likely won't do so prior to Wednesday when he faces a public team in the Atlanta Braves. While he was rocked in his last start against the Braves, I'm confident we'll see a much different story unfold on Wednesday night.
Felix Hernandez, Seattle Mariners, Wednesday vs. Boston
You can be sure that we'll see value with Hernandez on Wednesday, as the Red Sox continue to be an overvalued commodity on the road. Hernandez has been one of the few positives in an otherwise down year for the Mariners.
Even with all of their problems, they've won six of his last seven starts. King Felix has been effective against the Red Sox throughout his career with 3-1 record and a 3.06 ERA in five starts. In his last start against them, he threw six innings of shutout ball in an 8-0 Mariners win at Fenway Park.
Ben Sheets, Milwaukee Brewers, Thursday at St. Louis
Given the fact he's up against the surging Cardinals, we should get considerable value backing Sheets on Thursday.
He looked shaky in his first start following the All-Star break, giving up nine hits and four runs over five innings in San Francisco, but he's a veteran and should have little trouble bouncing back.
His road numbers remain rock solid at 6-1 with a 2.84 ERA. The Brew Crew are 8-3 the last 11 times he's taken the ball. The Cardinals have been beating up on some weaker opponents heading into this series, most recently the Pirates and Padres. They should get a bit of a wake-up call in this series, but I'll likely be staying away until Thursday.

Your mind is narrowed down only to the games we have right now. And as such, your only thinking about games we have today
Uhh from a programmers point of view, 16 bit Floating Point Calculations would be useful. As I said. Its relevent to the subjective situation, In PSX emulation It would preferrable to use texture embossing in a 16 bit fashion. As there would be no benefit to using 24 bit,
In this case, The 300 cannot benefit from the extra speed given by the lower precision.
We're talking about subjective values. To the specific coder.
Never said he ran into limits with its precision, As a matter of fact, I said he preferred 16 bit precision for rendering in Doom 3, Savvy? The interview is there, It specifically says he would prefer 16 bit precision.
And the only reason he did somethings with 24 bit textures is because thats the way the r300 is programmed.
Thats all fine and dandy for you, But alot of people who buy a Geforce 4 Ti 4400 or a Radeon 9500 Pro will not upgrade these cards for like 3-4 years, So yes its rellevent.
Future proofing does exist, In a limited fashion, And most non hardware enthusiasts buy computers because they believe they are future proof.
Using Pixel Shader 2.0 in 16 bit precision to emulate Pixel Shader 1.4 would not be the cause of its current slow down. And theres nothing wrong with emulating 1.4 in 16 bit precision. As theres no benefits for using the higher precision on Pixel Shader 1.4
Ok, so other than a screensaver, or an emulator of a 7 year old console what uses have you got? And you certainly DID allude to carmack saying he ran into limitations using the 24-bit floating point of the R300. Do you even read what you type? You go on with a paragraph about the fp capabilities of the cards, and then say you can see where carmack ran into limitations. Without making mention of Carmack specifically saying he ran into limitations of the NUMBER OF INSTRUCTIONS. I'm also pretty sure R200 supported 8-bit integer max. I also beg to differ that most non enthusiests buy computers because they think they're futureproof...they buy them because they're cheap usually regardless of what's inside. I can tell you've gotta be an 18 year old kid or younger, because you don't know much about the real world, and your ideas go against what has been shown generation after generation for YEARS in the computer world.

The big advantage is that you can hock up every card, even multi-gpu setups, without special profiles. Eyefinity needs special Crossfire profiles to work well.
There's even a freeware software solution, SoftTH. Probably the most flexible of all.
Eyefinity probably has the best marketing, feature and flexibility wise it's not there yet.
Could not have said it better myself. The advantage of TH2G is because you're tricking Windows into thinking it's got 1 monitor, it works with ATI, nVIDIA, SLI and CF.
The reason I'm not a huge fan of EyeFinity myself is because I would have expected their solution to be as flexible as SoftTH which is FREE, but it's not even close to being as flexible.
