Ask anyone to name some Italian dishes and you're going to hear one of two things: pasta or pizza. And while those are both very Italian and are in fact from Italy, they are far from the only type of meal eaten there.
The link below leads to 5 of some of the strangest Italian foods, many of which most non-Italians would be supervised to find are even a dish. Such as boiled calf intestines or maggot cheese.

Stuart woman thrown from boat leaves hospital, man still missing | Photo gallery, video
STUART — A woman rescued Monday afternoon after apparently being thrown from a boat in the St. Lucie River was identified Tuesday as Amy Reede of Stuart as officials continue to search for a man also ejected from the vessel.
Reede, who is in her late 30s, was rescued by a couple returning from a fishing trip after they spotted a small, unmanned Boston Whaler spinning fast in tight circles near the pilings of the Evans Crary Bridge. Reed was discharged late Monday or early Tuesday from Lawnwood Regional Medical Center & Heart Institute in Fort Pierce, a hospital spokeswoman said.
Crews from the U.S. Coast Guard, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and the Martin County Sheriff's Office were expected to continue searching for the missing man Tuesday morning. The search was suspended temporarily on Monday night.
Gabriella B. Ferraro, FWC spokeswoman, identified Reede, of Ohio, as the woman rescued. The man was later identified as Christopher Hill of Vero Beach.
"We're looking in the river basically where the vessel was found doing circles," said FWC Lt. Vann Streety. "Whether or not that was where the individuals were ejected from the boat, we don't know so we have a pretty large area that we're looking right now."
Ballantrae residents Bruce and Mary Claire Harris spotted the Boston Whaler, named Carolyn, as they returned from fishing.
"We knew something was seriously wrong and pulled closer when we heard someone scream," Mary Claire Harris said. "We could see a woman struggling to hold onto one of the pilings."
The Harrises pulled close to Reede and tossed a line to her. Immediately, Bruce Harris said he radioed for help. That's when they could see Reede was in poor condition suffering from exhaustion and apparent collisions with the boat.
"She was starting to go into shock," said Mary Claire Harris, who did not know how long Reede had been in the water before they arrived. They tried to search for the man until assistance arrived on the scene.
Sea Tow remained with the out-of-control vessel and shielded other vessel traffic from its impact. TowBoatU.S. escorted the Harrises to Sandsprit Park in Stuart where officials took Reede to a local hospital. Mary Claire Harris said she tried to keep Reed conscious as she rubbed her legs trying to keep her warm.
It was unknown what happened to trigger the incident, but Reede told the Harrises that the boat operator "put the boat in neutral and then suddenly it flipped over."
The steering may have broken in the boat, said Woody Woodruff of TowBoatU.S. TowBoatU.S. and Sea Tow were able to stop the boat about a half mile north of the Evans Crary Bridge.
The boat is an 18-foot Boston Whaler, Outrage model, center console with an Evinrude E-Tec 150 horsepower motor. Capt. Ryan Pratt of Sea Tow said 45 feet of tow line was wrapped around the boat and motor at one point. The steering arm on the boat was clearly broken, although it was unknown if that occurred before or after the occupants were tossed into the river.

DENVER, March 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Long-chain (seafood) omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) continue to prove their value in heart, brain and eye health, according to recent research summarized in the March 2008 Fats of Life and PUFA Newsletter electronic publications. Groundbreaking studies also show that omega-3s may improve recovery from spinal cord injury and dry eye syndrome.
The effect of fish oil consumption on arterial elasticity, which allows for more rapid blood flow, was examined in China in overweight patients with high blood pressure. Participants who took 900 mg of seafood omega-3s daily for eight weeks had a 21% increase in arterial elasticity.
"While blood pressure did not change in these participants, their arterial elasticity significantly improved," said Editor Joyce Nettleton, D.Sc. "This observation suggests another way in which these omega-3s protect heart health."
A US study reported that marine omega-3s prevented atrial fibrillation- uncontrolled rapid trembling -- from developing in animals with fast heartbeats. By increasing the heart's recovery time, the omega-3s prevented abnormal rhythms from becoming established.
Investigators in the Netherlands recently examined the relationship between children's omega-3 status at birth, which depends on the mother's omega-3 intake during pregnancy, and their motor development at age seven. Those with the highest levels of the omega-3 DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) at birth had significantly higher total motor scores than children born with less DHA.
"This means that a mother's consumption of seafood omega-3s during pregnancy is important for her child's later motor development," Nettleton said.
Two other studies covered by the e-newsletters report improvement in
mental disorders with dietary seafood omega-3s. Treating substance abuse
patients with these omega-3s, mainly EPA (eicosapen-taenoic acid), for
example, resulted in significantly lower scores

There have been many reports, many suggestions on when the New York Jets will be trading Darrelle Revis to the Bucs. One timeframe has been consistent throughout all the reports and that one is leading into the draft. With that said, I present the latest from Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News. Jets GM John Idzik is expected to pull the trigger on a Darrelle Revis trade to Buccaneers if price is right during week of draft, I'm told — Manish Mehta(@MMehtaNYDN) April 7, 2013 The key part of that is if the price is right. Whether the deal includes a first rounder this season or a first rounder next season, the Jets have been hanging their heads on whatever deal is that the Bucs have offered to New York. Earlier Sunday, there was also a report on Revis attending Jets offseason workouts because of money he is owed if he attends. Mehta would later report via Twitter that the best solution would be to trade Revis before those workouts begin to avoid any awkwardness between the two sides – the team and Revis. As I stated previously: The longer these talks drag on, we will see more and more come out. Especially as we get closer to the draft. The post Jets now "expected" to trade Revis to Bucs appeared first on The Bay Cave.

This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/203,745, filed 12 May 2000, which provisional application is incorporated by reference herein.
The invention relates to electronic communication, information sharing, and collaboration between individuals. The invention particularly relates to facilitation of electronic messaging between individuals.
In most applications for electronic communication, the user must supply a destination address in the form of an e-mail address, a URL, an IP address, a fax number, or the like. While there are contact databases (commonly referred to as "address books") that accompany most such applications, there are few address books that can be used with more than one or two applications other than a primary application with which they are associated. Thus, a user must duplicate contact information in a plurality of address books and must usually provide at least a nickname for or a beginning of the destination address for an address book to provide a complete destination address in a destination field associated with a message. In addition, when one individual tries to send a message to another, the recipient is often not available by the method the sender selects. While e-mail and voice mail allow storage of the message until the recipient returns and retrieves the message, sometimes this is simply inadequate when the recipient might be reached by other methods.
The invention preferably provides a list of contacts in a central contact database and displays the list in a form that allows a user to view the list while accessing a plurality of communication, information, and collaboration applications. Clicking on one of the contacts automatically fills in the recipient's contact information in a field enabled in accordance with the teachings of this invention (hereinafter referred to as a "one-click" enabled field). Typically, this will be the destination address field of any page with a one-click enabled address field. For example, if the user views a file transfer application, the user can click on "John" and the instant invention automatically fills in all relevant information for John, including such information as his network username or e-mail address. Then the user simply initiates file transfer.
This invention provides an easy way to facilitate communication, collaboration, and information sharing. A user can send messages or share resources by simply clicking on a specific contact in a list of contacts. The system uses the contact information to provide any required destination information. From the user standpoint, the user sees his or her list of contacts and clicks one contact as a destination. The name of a contact item (individual or group) or an appropriate address appears in a specific field, such as the "To:" or "CC:" field of an e-mail message. The system can use the recipient information from the Information Distribution System of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/853,537 filed concurrently herewith, contacts, or groups, and can be used with the Secure File Transfer System of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/853,538 filed concurrently herewith. The disclosures of the two above-mentioned applications (09/853,537 and 09/853,538) are hereby incorporated by reference.
Every page enabled with the instant system has at least one default one-click enabled field. One-click enabled fields are page elements that accept one-click and can be identified as enabled fields by tags, such as hypertext tags, in the source code of the page. (It should be noted, however, that this system is not based solely on the use of hypertext; other implementation mediums are possible as well.) I prefer to identify enabled fields in functions embedded in the source code of a page including the fields. The way that a one-click enabled field is handled can be different for every page, or even for every enabled field on a page, which makes the instant system very flexible. If there are more than one one-click enabled field on a page (Target), then one-click is automatically applied either to the one on which the user is focused at the time the user clicks or to a default enabled field if the user is not focused on an enabled field.
In the preferred embodiment, the system requires two parts: one includes a list of contacts and the other is a one-click enabled page with one or more one-click enabled fields. Preferably, the list of contacts is available to the user in the form of hot-linked contact listings. I prefer to keep the contact listing in a frame of a browser window or to have the contact listing at least appear in a consistent portion of related pages. However, the system does not require a browser. It could be contained in a desktop application without a browser. When a user clicks on one of the contacts, the contact list calls a function (e.g.—"OneClick") that passes specific parameters to itself depending on what kind of contact is clicked (i.e.—group, card, or individual contact). For example, if a group contact is clicked, the function can pass all e-mail addresses of the group members to itself. This is an exemplary implementation of the "OneClick" function:
The "ProcessOneClick" function is preferably part of the source code of the Target page. If the page includes a one-click enabled field, the function uses the source code to determine what type of information the field is intended to receive and uses the parameters from the "OneClick" function to fill the field. If the "ProcessOneClick" function finds no one-click enabled field or has no suitable parameter, it fills no field. This is an exemplary implementation of the "ProcessOneClick" function that, in the case of the exemplary link above, adds "(Member) John" to a list of attendees in an "Attendees" field in an event on a web-based, one-click enabled calendar as shown in FIG. 5:
I prefer to store the contacts in multiple databases on a central server connected to a computer network, such as the Internet, and render each database accessible to its subscribers whose client computers are also connected to the computer network and are equipped with software capable of receiving and interpreting the pages set up (such as hypertext based pages). In the preferred implementation, the instant invention interacts with a database to allow creation and deletion of records to the database. The Information Distribution System of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/853,537 mentioned above is quite suitable for use with the instant system. It should be borne in mind that the instant invention need not be confined to contact information completion, but could conceivably be used with a variety of different types of information and types of fields to be completed.
Many variations are possible without exceeding the scope of the inventive concept described herein. For example, certain programming languages have been described with regard to the preferred embodiment. However, other suitable programming languages, including but not limited to Java, XML, Visual Basic, VB Script, C, C++, C#, JavaScript, Python, ColdFusion, PHP, and ASP, could be used to implement the teachings of this patent.

Unformatted text preview: The classical theory to the management role is to focus on the task, the machines and the
systems that are needed in order to perform the tasks efficiently. This approach has two
components which are; scientific management and administrative management. Scientific
management is there to improve the efficiency of work. The Administrative management
approach focuses on the coordination of the workings of an entire organization. The classical
theory has the assumption that work is a rational undertaking that is done just to make
The behavioral approach is for the management so they can understand the importance of
the workers needs and their attitudes within the formal organizations. (Studies shows that
good social relationships in the workplace are what produce more output.)
The systems approach views organizations as sets of interrelated parts to be managed.
The purpose for this is to work together as one in order to achieve the goal. This organization
consists of transformation processes, inputs and outputs, and feedback.
The contingency approach focuses on identifying the key variables in each situation and
also by recognizing the causes and effects of managerial decisions.
I had a hard time deciding which one I think is more important because they all go hand
in hand to run a business successfully. I will say that I think the Behavioral theory is
important because if everyone understands what it is they are required to do and how to
properly do it, then they can all get along and work together to accomplish the goals that they
set for themselves and the company.

Arizona Cardinals
Arizona Cardinals' Tyrann Mathieu ready for first NFL game
There was a time when it didn't look like Tyrann Mathieu would play in the National Football League.
Despite being named the SEC Defensive Player of the Year and finishing fifth in the Heisman Trophy balloting in 2011, off-field troubles derailed Mathieu's LSU career and put his pro prospects very much in doubt.
Those issues are in the rookie's rearview mirror as he and his Arizona Cardinals teammates get ready for their season opener Sunday in St. Louis. But Mathieu isn't overwhelmed by the enormity of his first real NFL game.
"I can't say that I really have butterflies, man," Mathieu said Friday. "I'm just excited to finally have the opportunity to play in my first career NFL game. It's blessing, I'm humbled and I just want to go out there and do what I do."
Mathieu played well in Arizona's preseason games, registering 12 total tackles and a quarterback sack. He also averaged 7.7 yards on three punt returns.
Because of his solid preseason, Mathieu feels comfortable heading into live fire for the first time.
"I feel like I'm an NFL player, I've been practicing like an NFL player," he said. "I think my understanding of the defense and what we're trying to do is getting better every week and I'm just looking forward to going up against some opponents for four quarters."
One of the opponents Mathieu will face Sunday is a familiar one. Rams' rookie wide receiver Tavon Austin should be a focal point of the St. Louis offense Sunday, and the "Honey Badger" is familiar with his game having faced him twice in college while Austin was at West Virginia.
"He's a great talent, we've got a ton of respect for each other," he said. "We definitely like competing against each other and challenging each other."
LSU beat West Virginia in 2010 and 2011, with Mathieu collecting an interception in each game. But Austin did have a huge game in 2011, catching 11 balls for 187 yards in a game LSU won 47-21.
"He's quick, you can't give him a lot of space -- he's definitely going to make the most out of it," Mathieu said. "But I think you challenge him at the line of scrimmage and just compete with him for four quarters, I think it would be good for me."
Opposition aside, Mathieu has a goal for his first game and beyond.
"Hopefully I'm exciting, hopefully I'm entertaining and hopefully I'm doing my job to the best of my ability."

Chocolate Peanut Butter Silken Pie
4 squares of unsweetened bakers chocolate
2/3 cup peanut butter
16-18oz silken tofu
1 cup vegan sugar
4-6 tablespoon soy milk
pie crust (see below for pastry crust recipe) or a vegan graham cracker crust is nice as well
Pastry crust:
1 cup flour
1/3 cup shortening
3 tablespoon water
Mix 1 cup flour with a pinch or two of salt. Cut in 1/3 cup vegetable shortening using a fork or other fancy device. Add, one by one, up to 3 tablespoon water, dispersing the water as evenly as possible. Err on the side of less water~you will get a flakier crust. Roll out the dough onto waxed paper or plastic wrap. Place into a pie dish and form those fluted edges if you want. Poke holes in the dough with a fork and bake until slightly golden, about 5-10 min at 425 deg F.
Melt the chocolate and blend with the tofu, peanut butter, and vegan sugar adding soy milk to the desired texture (I've found some silken tofus to be more silken than others). Vary the vegan sugar to taste. Pour into the baked pie crust and refridgerate.

July 2009: Business Building
July 2009
Business Building
How Much Profit Is Enough?
Construction business owners often ask me how much gross or net profit they should expect to make – 5 percent, 10 percent, 15 percent or more? Most don't know how much money they should make and don't have a specific profit target in mind. Some have heard that 15 percent is a good target to aim for, but they aren't sure if 15 percent is net or gross. Most claim their profit goal is to make as much money as possible or to make more than they are currently making.
"As much money as possible." Is this a target? "More." More than what? These are not clear targets or goals.
A young mason contractor came to me for advice. He told me his five-year goal was to work real hard, be totally stressed out and hopelessly in debt, and make no money; and, he made it. I am not impressed with people who are busy, overworked or underpaid, or who boast about their latest sales figures, yet try and make as much money as the market will allow. What I admire are organized companies that create clear annual gross and net profit targets, hit these goals, and make the expected return and profit for the risks they take.
The goal in business is not to stay in business, keep your crews bust, and make as much money as possible. The goal of your business is to always make a profit. Unfortunately, 92 percent of all business owners reach age 65 with little or no net worth. It's not how much you make that matters, it's how much you keep (after overhead, job costs, personnel and a fair salary for the owner). Then, it's how much your money makes.
Profitable construction company owners have a vision of what they want. They have written goals in many areas, including business, customers, operations, financial, personal and profit. They have precise annual goals, including revenue, gross profit, overhead, net profit, return on equity and average markup.
If asked to invest $100,000 in a friend's new start up masonry construction business, what return would you want – 10 percent, 15 percent, 25 percent, 50 percent or more? After considering all the risks, I would never invest in a new construction business that didn't offer at least a conservative 15 percent minimum to 25 percent return on equity. Likewise, the minimum pre tax net profit goal for your company should be 15 percent to 25 percent return on equity (or higher). Equity is the net worth or value of your company. Calculate your equity by adding up all the value of your company assets, including capital, equipment, cash and receivables. Then subtract all of your liabilities, including payables, loans and total debt.
Companies without precise profit goals never make enough money and, often, don't make anything. It's hard to hit a fuzzy, moving target that doesn't exist. Companies that track costs, target profit, control overhead, and watch what they keep are in control, organized and a step ahead of their competition. Fix your profit target and revenue goals. Keep it in front of you all the time. Share it with your people. Track your progress. Make it happen.

Cant find your thread, you got only 100 threads dated back far as 18 Aug 2010, well it seemed all the rest of your threads was lost after NvNews hacked.
I am NOT spreading BS!
My new P8Z77V mobo did not have IDE ports, the UEFI only got HDD settings of either ACHI and SATA. I cant get into Windows 7 safe mode to uninstalled drivers cos of BSOD. But I find Windows 8 really incredible when it booted first time it detected new motherboard and configured without had to uninstalled drivers, you really don't need to changed UEFI/BIOS settings, just leave it alone.
Others had same problems I had, only solution to fix Windows 7 BSOD after changed AMD to Intel motherboard is to reinstall Windows 7 or changed HDD setting to IDE in BIOS.
Edit: I looked at further 27 pages in CPUs, Motherboards And Memory, 50 pages in General Hardware and 14 pages in Windows 7 forum dated back to July 2009 when Windows 7 was RTM still cant find your thread. Maybe lots of threads gone missing after hacked.

Silently, how silently good people often slip away from us unnoticed and without the acclaim they deserve.
On June 24, Belleville lost one of its prized citizens -- an individual whose dedication to serving others was not only remarkable, it was uninterrupted for decades until her health forced her move to Nashville, Tenn.
At over 75 years of age, she began researching and authored a book on the history of race relations in St. Clair County. She generously donated her manuscript to Racial Harmony for preservation and possible publication.
This dedicated citizen and volunteer was Carolyn Chapman. She deserves our thanks and her family our deepest sympathy and appreciation for sharing her with the dozens of local civic organizations she served so faithfully.

President, Racial Harmony

I've already gone over the top 20 catchers for 2015 fantasy baseball, the top 20 1st basemen for 2015 fantasy baseball and the top 20 2nd basemen for 2015 fantasy baseball. Last year, I thought the top 20 shortstops for 2015 fantasy baseball looked a whole lot better than the 2nd basemen. I said that's not usually the norm, but you gotta be malleable in this fantasy baseball game. Then going on to say I'd give a free car to a brother and sister who were named Norm and Malleable. No one won the car and I was pretty off with where I thought shortstops had depth. They showed up last preseason in a librarian's outfit with red-rimmed glasses and seemed interesting. Then they turned around and it was Sally Jessy Raphael and we should've ran the other way. As with the other top 20 rankings, I point out where tiers start and stop and my projections. All the 2015 fantasy baseball rankings can be found under that thing that says 2015 fantasy baseball rankings. Unsuccinct! Anyway, here's the top 20 shortstops for 2015 fantasy baseball:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Josh Rutledge
Hello, friends that I've never met in person. I'm glad to see you again, metaphorically. I've already hit you with my top 20 catchers for 2015 fantasy baseball and the top 20 1st basemen for 2015 fantasy baseball. This, here, is the top 20 2nd basemen for 2015 fantasy baseball. This, here, is a mess. There's seriously about seven 2nd basemen I'm excited about, and two of them are Brett Lawrie and Jedd Gyorko, so we know how that's gonna play out. I don't know what happened to the latest crop of 2nd basemen, but I have a theory. Twelve years ago, when these 2nd basemen were learning the position, their role model was Bret Boone. Boone used to frost his hair, so all the kids learning 2nd base at that time, frosted their hair too. Then their friends beat the crap out of them, and that was the end of all future 2nd basemen. Here's the position eligibility chart for 2015 fantasy baseball. All the 2015 fantasy baseball rankings are under that linkie-ma-whosie. As always, my projections and tiers are included for the low, low price of zero dollars. Anyway, here's the top 20 2nd basemen for 2015 fantasy baseball:Please, blog, may I have some more?
"Hey, Intern, let's get the Mayans on hold just in case we need them in a hurry. What? Who the hell is Ralph Mayan of the Mayan Empire and Grille in Norwalk? Your blank stare tells me nothing. Go buff out my El Dorado while I write this post!" So, I've seen The Theory of Everything, the story of Stephen Hawking and his wife. It touches briefly on his theorems and the universe's push and pull. Imagine the universe breathes in and out. The in is gravity and the out is energy generated by particles. However, the Cubs would breathe in, but when they exhaled it sounded like a wheeze. For over a hundred years, people thought it was dying. That constant wheeze of death. Then, Theo Epstein came along, kicked the Cubs in the ass and realized it wasn't a wheeze but there was something stuck in its throat. The Cubs won't breathe easy until they win a championship again, but the signing of Jon Lester should help. Last year, Lester had a 9 K/9 and a 2 BB/9. I just touched on this with the signing of Samardzija the other day, but a difference of 7 between K/9 and BB/9 is about the most beautifulest thing in the world, Keith Murray. For K-BB, Lester was 11th in the majors last year. Top ten is a who's who that's more glamorous than your Who's Who of American High School Students Who Paid $75 To Be In That Who's Who Book. I'll give you a little hint: if you were to just draft based on K-BB, you'd win your league. Why is K-BB so important? It's so basically basic basically basic it's silly. If you strikeout hitters and don't walk them, good things will happen. For 2015, I'll give Lester the projections of 15-9/2.92/1.08/206, which is number one fantasy SP numbers. Yup, he's going to be solid once again. Anyway, here's some more offseason moves for 2015 fantasy baseball:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Nicholas Tropeano sounds like a sitcom character, doesn't he? Like that's his real name, but he goes by the nickname of The Boof or simply Boof. Then only his mom, Mrs. Tropeano calls him Nicholas. Some girls call him Nick, but Boof or The Boof, that's what you know him as. At one point, he even went to a technical school with Arthur Fonzarelli and Joseph Tribbiani Jr. I went over The Boof briefly the other day when he threw a five inning, meh start. There I said, "Breezed through the minors as only an Astros prospect could. What I mean is they don't have a ton of major league options, so if someone does okay, they promote the crap out of them. In Triple-A, he had a 8.7 K/9, 0.99 WHIP and a 3.03 ERA in 124 2/3 IP." And that's me quoting me! This Buy is more for AL-Only leagues and keepers (I'll go over mixed league starters to stream in the post). Shoot, this Boof buy could even be considered more for 2015 fantasy baseball. Now, maybe I'm really just having residual feelings for what Collin McHugh and Dallas Keuchel did this year, but Tropeano looks like a $1 flyer in very deep leagues that could reap similar benefits. I know it's far from glamorous to put faith in Astros, but I'm likely to call Tropeano a sleeper for 2015 and point back to this post next year. I'd love if his velocity was a tad faster to go with his nasty change, but The Boof could pay dividends for savvy owners in deep leagues. Ayyyyy! *pounds wall, jukebox turns on* Anyway, here's some more players to Buy or Sell this week in fantasy baseball:Please, blog, may I have some more?
That's what time of year it is! Juan Lagares gets a buy lede. Read between the lines here, and what does it tell you? That as you get older you have to eat salad for lunch three times a week? Hmm, I've found that too, but that wasn't what I wrote between the lines. Try again! That you don't get embarrassed being seen in a public restroom, but get embarrassed being seen walking out of one? Me too. Still not what I wrote between the lines. You look for the skinniest person in a conveyor belt sushi place and sit next to them? Didn't write that between the lines either, but lambda! (Lambda is the Greek letter used to indicate wavelength, so when you want to indicate you are a nerd and to tell someone you're on the same wavelength just say lambda. That's what I do. "I was thinking we should go to a movie." "Lambda." See? Now go have nerd babies!) Okay, between the lines it actually read that we're firmly in the part of the year when it only matters what a player did in the last week. Lagares is about as hot as anyone right now. Better still, Terry Collins said he wants Lagares to run more. Let's do a quick equation. Player who is trying to prove their worth + Suggested by manager that they run = Merle Haggard! Wow, math's off there. Was supposed to equal tremendous fantasy value. Now, if Lagares wasn't hitting it wouldn't matter that Collins told him to run, but he is hitting and running like crazy — five steals in the last week while hitting over .300. He's also been inserted into the leadoff spot. Thinking you should own him? Lambda! Anyway, here's some more players to Buy or Sell this week in fantasy baseball:Please, blog, may I have some more?
If you haven't noticed, there's a little something called football that just kicked off, but baseball is still in full swing over at DraftKings. You know those puns were intended! Anyways, many DFS peeps are preoccupied with pigskin pandemonium, and now is the time to swoop in and loot some overlay while people sleep on our pastime. It's now September, which means MLB rosters have expanded like the pasta in your garbage disposal (keep it out of there), so stop staring at your fantasy football team(s) for a minute and go explore your options on the baseball side – there's still fun to be had. There's also plenty of value out there, so check the selections below, and don't forget about the DFSBot, which is doing the damn thing until the last pitch is thrown.
New to DraftKings? Scared of feeling like a small fish in a big pond? Well try out this 10 teamer of Razzball writers and friends to wet your DK whistle. Just remember to sign up through us before you do. It's how we know you care!Please, blog, may I have some more?
In 1778, Benjamin Franklin pulled the first American flag from Betsy Ross's, uh, clutches and proclaimed a holiday to be called Labor Day in the then-resort city of Philadelphia. Since then there's been a long history of great Philly pitchers: Steve "Lefty" Carlton, Jackie "Kid" Gleason, Robin "ESPN anchor" Roberts, Curt Schilling, who later went on to be known for saucing his French fries with ketchup out of his sock, Jim "Beds Are" Bunning and Brett "I'll Show You Slap Hits" Myers. Philly's not the same town now as it was in Ben's day, as the battle for best cheesesteak tore up most of the city. "Geno's? How about I give you a jihad wit wiz?!" It's ugly, without much joy in the City of Brotherly Love, a nickname adopted due to the popularity of a WWF manager in the early 90's. Yesterday, for a moment, all of that sorrow was told to go to 'morrow, as Cole Hamels and Jacob Diekman, Ken Giles and Jonathan Papelbon combined for a no hitter. Hamels only made it through six innings, because he took Labor Day literally and struggled with five walks. If I had to give an award out because I had an award and didn't know what to do with it, I'd ask someone next year if Jacob Diekman ever threw a no-hitter, and would reward them with that unwanted trophy if they said yes. A great day for Philly fans everywhere (except for the fans that came to the game with D batteries hoping for a reason to throw them at a player). Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:Please, blog, may I have some more?
With the Twins saying th-th-that's all Fuld, it opened up a spot for Kennys Vargas in their lineup. My God, they killed Kennys (with kindness by promoting him)! He's a David Ortiz clone. Too bad the Twins can't have the real thing. Oh, wait. They used to! Oh, God, Twins, you fell for the oldest trick in the book, mon. Hopefully they don't trade Lil Papi for a piece of spearmint gum the Red Sox find on the Pesky Pole. "So, you're saying Denis Leary once touched this gum? We'll take it!" The Twins trade for once-touched-by-Denis-Leary gum, and execs are lauded by Twins fans! Here's the thing, if the Twins were in a different market, their moves that are 'lauded by their fans' would not be lauded. Sorry, but it's true. People in Minnesota are too kind. With that said, I do like Vargas and he looks like he's going to play every day. You don't become Lil Papi without some power and Vargas has it to spare. In Double-A, he had 17 homers in 356 ABs, and a rock solid OBP and K-rate. He slugs, but doesn't do it like most sluggers with huge strikeouts. He could hit .275 and 25+ homers over the course of the season, and I'm going to like him a lot next year if he has a starting job (which he should). For this year, I'd take a flyer on him if I needed power. Anyway, here's some more players to Buy or Sell this week in fantasy baseball:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Yesterday, Alex Cobb's line was 8 IP, 1 ER, 5 baserunners, 12 Ks. March Grey, "You're welcome." April Grey, "Figures you show your face now." May Grey, "You know how much crap I took for you, March Grey?" June Grey, "Seriously!" All the Greys start yammering over each other. March Grey, "Hey! Hey! Hey! July Grey, defend me here!" July Grey, "Don't be too hard on him, Cobb was injured. He has a 2.23 ERA in July." April/May/June Grey, "Shut up!" March Grey, "What about the Ks, July Grey? Tell them about those too." April Grey, "We don't want to hear it!" July Grey, "36 Ks in only 32 1/3 IP in July. Oh, and in April his ERA was 1.89, so I have no idea what your problem is." April Grey, "Peer pressure." March Grey, "April Grey's still in a daze from Dozier's April." June Grey, "Yeah, April Grey, how's Mike Morse doing too?" April Grey, "You know what? I'm hanging up now." May Grey, "Probably wants to check on his Brett Lawrie-led offense." So, Cobb hasn't been dazzling all year like I expected, but his ERA is down to 3.54 on the year, his K-rate is 8.6, walk rate is 2.6 and his xFIP is 3.27. Everything I liked about him in the preseason still stands. March Grey, "That's what I'm saying! Now, are you sending the bail money or what? This Nicaraguan prison sucks. Greys? Are you guys still there?" Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Before we commence with the jamming and the cramming and the whatnot, let your humble-but-nonetheless-handsome Guru pull on your dirty turban about something here – The Razzball Fantasy Football 32 in 32 in 32 Tour kicks off August 4 in Seattle! The Goo and that podcastin' broadcastin' master Nick C-A-P-O-Z-Z-I will be hitting the road for a 50,000 mile frenzy of fantasy ballin' depravity that'll make Motley Crue's 1984 tour look downright virtuous. Razzball Radio will have shows from all 32 NFL cities and I'll be posting the daily dirt on the football side of things so you can follow along. We hope to meet, greet and tip a few back with all you Razzicians, Razzaholics, chronic Razzturbators and four girl readers. There are still some spots available, so get your tix here and you could win a trip to Vegas with the Razzball crew.
If you're still with me, let's high five and chest bump because that means your fake baseball team is still in the hunt. We are about to hit the most important month of the fantasy season. August is the time of year where the contenders separate from the pretenders and fantasy legends are made. If your team is muddled in the middle of mediocrity, it's time to make some bold moves and push toward the top. If your team is king of the leader board, a minor roster tweak or twerk could be the move that wins you all the cash, prizes, glory and glory holes that come with a fake baseball championship. If your team is stuck in last place, may I suggest fantasy cricket, getting a girlfriend or binge drinking – see you next season.
This week's jammers and crammers are a collection ex's we thought we had sworn off forever. Much like my ex-girlfriend Brenda, they are hard to resist when they call at 2 a.m. promising everything will be different this time. Then, after a couple days of bliss, you wake up to find your wallet gone, the tires slashed on your car and a bunny boiling on the stove. However, we be desperate as Ryan Zimmerman, George Springer and Troy Tulowitzki hit the DL. Who saw that coming? "I did, Guru." Brenda! The court order states you have to stay at least 500 feet away from this blog. It's time to Jam it or Cram it!Please, blog, may I have some more?

July 1, 2015
MESA COUNTY, Colo. A night under the stars turned dangerous when two adults got lost walking in Escalante Canyon Sunday night.
The adults were camping when the bad weather caused their vehicle to get stuck. They decided to take a walk and eventually got lost, forcing them into a makeshift shelter for the night.
Local dispatch received a call about the two lost individuals Sunday night but were unable to find them in the dark. Monday morning they were easily found by a volunteer CenturyLink helicopter.
The individuals were escorted back to their vehicles and out of the canyon by deputies, and there was no need for medical attention.
The Mesa County Sheriff's Office would like to remind all persons who plan on going hiking, or camping to not rely on their cellphones, dress for weather, and have an adequate supply for food and water. As a reminder, do not leave anything of value in vehicles while they are not attended, or leave them at home.

Anyone know what happened to him? Wetzel, wasn't it?
Know him well, but haven't heard from him in awhile. He and I use to email each other quite frequently. The last I talked to him (almost 2 yrs ago) he was disgusted over a "situation" that occurred between him and a couple of members and said he was leaving and never coming back.
The Wetz is with you----but he doesn't comment a lot.
He drops in occasionally. Reads but doesn't comment. He's just too busy with his harm of 25 y.o. girlfriends. :)
Always liked Wetzel. There are a lot of folks that don't say much anymore.
And speaking of johnny, I just noticed that he's lurking in this thread. Either this is a big coincidence or someone called/emailed him. :cool:
Johnny disappeared a couple of years ago but eventually resurfaced. He is a good guy and a missed poster for sure.
I just received an e-mail from our old friend. He sounds like he is doing great. :beerme:
He posted in a thread here this week. I don't remember which one.
Hey, it is good to have the big guy back. This board needs all of the old-timers it can get. :cool:
Oh I am fine, having more fun than the law should allow. Ask Rem and CQ.
Thanks for asking and thinking guys.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year my friends.
Good to hear from you! Merry Christmas to you and yours!

dead pixel test
I need Linux software that tests for dead pixels.
Re: dead pixel test
Just run a series of xsetroot and look at your display.
% xsetroot -solid black
Re: dead pixel test
I am using KDE.
There is nothing in dmesg or /var/log/Xorg.0.log.
Re: dead pixel test
Anyway it seems that KDE opens an XWindow on top of X root window, as that's why it appears that xsetroot isn't doing anything. I suppose you can use KDE's control centre to change your wallpaper to certain colour then. Just try difference colours and see if you can find any bad pixels on the screen.
If you can't hide KDE's widgets to get fullscreen, I guess you could try to configure one of the screensaver to show blank screen with certain background colour, or try to create HTML pages with certain background colours and run a browser in fullscreen. Or create a movie with each frame with one colour only. Or...

LAN has placed an order with Boeing for three 767s.
The carrier indicated last month it could acquire more widebodies to offset delays of its 787 aircraft.
Previously, LAN was scheduled to accept its first two 787s in September of this year, but in January the carrier stated it anticipates adding the aircraft in 2012.
Reports in the Chilean press indicate the three 767s are scheduled for delivery from July through September of 2012.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system, for which no definitive treatment is available. Most patients start with a relapsing-remitting course (RRMS). Disease-modifying drugs (DMDs) reduce relapses and disability progression. First line DMDs include glatiramer acetate (GA), interferon-beta (INFb)-1a and INFb-1b, which are all administered via injections. Effectiveness of DMD treatment depends on adequate adherence, meaning year-long continuation of injections with a minimum of missed doses. In real-life practice DMD-treated patients miss 30% of doses. The 6-month discontinuation rate is up to 27% and most patients who discontinue do so in the first 12 months.
Treatment adherence is influenced by the socio-economic situation, health care and caregivers, disease, treatment and patient characteristics. Only a few studies have dealt with adherence-related factors in DMD-treated patients. Self-efficacy expectations were found to be related to GA adherence. Patient education and optimal support improve adherence in general. Knowledge of the aspects of care that significantly relate to adherence could lead to adherence-improving measures. Moreover, identification of patients at risk of inadequate adherence could lead to more efficient care.
In the near future new drugs will become available for RRMS. Detailed knowledge on factors prognostic of adherence and on care aspects that are associated with adequate adherence will improve the chances of these drugs becoming effective treatments. We investigate in RRMS patients the relationship between drug adherence and multidisciplinary care, as well as factors associated with adherence. Given the differences in the frequency of administration and in the side effects between the DMDs we decided to study patients treated with the same DMD, GA.
The Correlative analyses of Adherence In Relapsing remitting MS (CAIR) study is an investigator-initiated, prospective, web-based, patient-centred, nation-wide cohort study in the Netherlands.
The primary objective is to investigate whether GA adherence is associated with specific disciplines of care or quantities of specific care. The secondary objective is to investigate whether GA adherence is associated with specific aspects of the socio-economic situation, health care and caregivers, disease, treatment or patient characteristics.
All data are acquired on-line via a study website. All RRMS patients in the Netherlands starting GA treatment are eligible. Patients are informed by neurologists, nurses, and websites from national MS patient organisations. All data, except on disability, are obtained by patient self-reports on pre-defined and random time points. The number of missed doses and the number of patients having discontinued GA treatment at 6 and 12 months are measures of adherence. Per care discipline the number of sessions and the total duration of care are measures of received care. The full spectrum of non-experimental care that is available in the Netherlands is assessed. Care includes 'physical' contacts, contacts by telephone or internet, health-promoting activities and community care activities. Care received over the preceding 14 days is assessed by patients at baseline and every other week thereafter up to month 12. Every 3 months neurologists and nurses record care disciplines to which patients have been referred.
The Dutch Adherence Questionnaire-90 (DAQ-90) is a 90-item questionnaire based on the World Health Organisation (WHO) 2003 report on adherence and comprehensively assesses five domains of evidence-based determinants of adherence: socio-economic, health care and caregivers, disease, treatment, and patient-related factors. In addition, self-efficacy is assessed by the MS Self-Efficacy Scale (MSSES), and mood and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) by the Multiple Sclerosis Quality of Life-54 questionnaire (MSQoL-54). Relapses and adverse events probably or definitively related to GA are also reported.
In this study data is mainly acquired by patients' self-reporting via the internet. On-line data acquisition by patients does not require study visits to the hospital and can easily be integrated into daily life. The web-based nature of the study is believed to prevent missing data and study drop-outs. Moreover, the automated process of filling in questionnaires ensures completeness and consistency, thus improving data quality. The combination of patient-reported outcomes, fully web-based data capture and nation-wide information to all eligible patients are distinguishing features of the study and contribute to its scientific potential.
